168: Chapter 168: Breakthrough, Quasi-Emperor! The Giant in the Black Spot
"Boss, do you know where he is?" Man Dali's expression was indignant. That guy just now almost prevented him from seeing the villagers and his boss. He wished he could tear the other party limb from limb!
Jiang Xuan smiled, "Of course, no one in this world can escape my eyes."
At this moment, the village chief stepped forward, his aged face filled with anticipation. Just now, due to the urgency of the situation, he hadn't had time to ask about the underground situation. Now, hearing Jiang Xuan's words, he could no longer hold back and stammered, "Li… Little friend, that underground..."
The village chief glanced at Man Dali, not finishing his sentence.
Jiang Xuan understood his meaning and nodded at him. The village chief instantly coughed excitedly, staggering back a few steps, "Cough, cough, cough..."
Man Dali hurriedly stepped forward to support his arm, asking worriedly, "Are you alright, Grandpa Village Chief? What underground? What are you talking about?"
The village chief patted the back of his hand, his face full of smiles, "Dali, I'm fine, Grandpa is happy."
"Cough, cough, cough... It's getting late, we won't disturb you and the little friend." After speaking, he led everyone away from the place. In the night sky, the old man's slightly trembling figure could be seen.
Jiang Xuan looked at their retreating figures and temporarily didn't tell Dali the truth of the matter. This village was too important in Dali's heart, and with his personality, he might not be able to bear it.
Temporarily putting this matter aside, the most important thing now was to first Breakthrough to the Quasi-Emperor Realm.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xuan no longer hesitated. He gave Dali a quick instruction and entered the Heavenly Realm.
In the current Heavenly Realm, due to Jiang Xuan's rapid progress in the Great Dao of Space-Time, as the Dominator of this Heavenly Realm, he had changed the time ratio of this world to one to one hundred. One hundred days in the outside world meant only one day had passed in the Heavenly Realm.
"System, last time it took six years to Breakthrough a Realm. Will it take even longer to Breakthrough to the Quasi-Emperor Realm this time?"
That black dot in the chaotic Void Realm was always a variable. If left unchecked for a long time, it might cause trouble. He had completely cut off his retreat, and now he must hate him to the bone. If he couldn't find him, he would inevitably target those around him.
Therefore, Jiang Xuan had to Breakthrough in a short time to completely eliminate the hidden danger.
"Host, don't worry. A Quasi-Emperor has only grasped a trace of Law. It is a Realm that transitions to a Great Emperor, a self-proclaimed status by Cultivators, and is not within the Heavenly Dao rules of this world."
"One hundred days is enough for the Host to Breakthrough."
Hearing this, Jiang Xuan was completely relieved... Heavenly Realm, three months later.
At the peak of Myriad Blades, Jiang Xuan's eyes were tightly closed, sitting cross-legged on the ground. The wind between heaven and earth suddenly stilled. Chaos Qi swirled around his body, like silver-gray young Dragons churning and moving on his skin.
A faint Quasi-Emperor pressure slowly descended. The clouds were torn apart at this moment, and a pillar of light, spanning heaven and earth, poured down from the firmament.
Suddenly, Jiang Xuan's eyes snapped open. With a low shout, the power accumulated in his body for many days erupted, shattering the beam of light between heaven and earth.
Jiang Xuan slowly stood up, an aura of overlooking all living beings permeating his body.
Looking at the distant Void Realm, Jiang Xuan threw a punch. The space in front instantly shattered, and a thousand miles of cloud sea vanished! Then he pointed a finger, and the Great Dao of Space-Time poured out, forcibly freezing the space-time within a radius of ten thousand miles, and then silently annihilating it.
Feeling the surging power within him, Jiang Xuan nodded with satisfaction, his eyes flashing with endless anticipation, "Only one step away from the Great Emperor!"
"Li Tian Emperor Clan, old ghost Hei Ming, we will meet very soon."
... The next day, Jiang Xuan and Dali bid farewell to the village chief and the others. Using cross-Realm teleportation, they instantly arrived in the chaotic space channel on the outskirts of Sand Province.
The moment Jiang Xuan stepped into this place, the originally chaotic space became calm again. The black dot had turned into a black portal, from which an ancient and desolate aura emanated.
"Go!" Jiang Xuan shouted in a low voice, taking the lead into the door...
The setting sun was like blood, the earth cracked, and the entire world had no vegetation, only a huge corpse that extended to the end of the world. Even after tens of millions of years, it still retained an awe-inspiring pressure that looked down upon heaven and earth.
"My heavens, what a huge corpse! Boss, is this where that bastard is? Hiding in this godforsaken place, he's indeed not a good person."
Jiang Xuan turned his head and asked, "Didn't you see his appearance in your Sea of Consciousness before?"
"No, there was a layer of mist on that person's face, I couldn't see clearly."
Jiang Xuan nodded, then a playful look crossed his face. If he wasn't mistaken, with Dali's personality, he would probably be shocked in a moment.
"Thump, thump, thump..."
Giant footsteps came, and with each step, the entire ground would shake once. A strong sense of oppression assailed the two.
Jiang Xuan's gaze sharpened, "He's here."
Hearing this, Man Dali looked ahead and was instantly stunned. He craned his neck as high as it could go, only to see a giant figure walking towards the two, thousands of zhang tall. With each step, it left a deep pit more than ten meters wide behind it. Jiang Xuan and the other appeared as tiny as ants before him.
"This giant came back to life! And who is that lying down?" Man Dali exclaimed. Could he defeat this big guy?
Jiang Xuan, who was beside him, seemed unsurprised by this. Even facing the sky-reaching giant, his expression remained unchanged.
Jiang Xuan's eyes narrowed as he said to Dali, "He is the one who tried to replace you in your Sea of Consciousness, but it's not a physical body, just a Soul body."
Jiang Xuan did not feel any life aura from the other party, only powerful Soul Power. He figured it must be the last trace of Soul power that remained after the great battle with the Ancestral Dragon.
Hearing Jiang Xuan's words, Man Dali exclaimed in surprise, "What! This big guy?" Instantly, a raging fire of anger ignited in Dali's eyes. His Saint power was released, and he shot into the sky, "I want to see who you really are, daring to target me, Man Dali."
However, when he flew several thousand meters into the sky and saw the giant's appearance clearly, he instantly froze. The person in front of him looked exactly like him! The only difference was that the other party's expression was extremely cold, as if everything in the world was an ant in his eyes.
Man Dali was instantly terrified, his face full of disbelief. He hurriedly returned to Jiang Xuan's side, glancing at the giant in front, and cautiously said, "Boss, I must be sick. This person looks exactly like me."
Jiang Xuan chuckled, "Haha, you're not sick. He really does look like that."
"What! Even Boss says so." Man Dali was even more surprised. Then, with a strange expression, he looked at Jiang Xuan suspiciously and said, "Boss, this person... couldn't be my ancestor, could he..."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xuan shook his head and laughed, "Don't guess wildly. He's currently trying to take both our lives and annihilate your Divine Soul to replace you."
Hearing Jiang Xuan's words, Man Dali's expression turned serious. Boss was right, even if you are my ancestor, today I will righteously eliminate you!
Just then, a voice like heavenly thunder descended from the sky, "The breaker of the situation... should be killed..."
As the words fell, an aura of Great Emperor Perfection swept across heaven and earth. The giant held a huge spear, and his mountain-sized eyeballs stared fixedly at Jiang Xuan.
Jiang Xuan's heart was calm. He thought to himself, "Ten million years, and you've only recovered to the Great Emperor Perfection Realm?"
From the fact that the giant and the Ancestral Dragon fought for a thousand years, it could be seen that his cultivation was definitely not as simple as just a Great Emperor. He hadn't recovered to his peak condition after ten million years. It seems that battle really injured you badly.
