362: Caoxi's trump card

The ground Qi surged, vast and heavy, forming two mountain seals that pressed down on Jiang Yuan, causing the air around him to tremble incessantly, emitting a buzzing whine from the unbearable pressure.

“Bang!!”

With a loud bang, the two mountain seals collided heavily, and surging Qi waves sliced through the surrounding ten thousand meters like sharp blades.

Crack, crack!

Winding golden cracks appeared on the smooth, hard giant mountain seals.

Immediately after, they exploded!

Jiang Yuan’s figure reappeared before everyone’s eyes, still completely unharmed.

He met the falling molten meteors with a single punch.

Golden fist light illuminated the sky and earth, forming an incredibly massive fist print that tore through the firmament, powerfully shattering all the falling molten meteors.

Just the aftermath of the first exchange nearly shattered the barrier created by the four ninth-tier Grandmaster protectors working together.

Everyone watched dumbfounded.

Is this what a King-level battle is like?!

Shaking heaven and earth is nothing more than this.

Chen Xi was also somewhat shocked; although he had guessed that Professor Jiang’s strength might be very strong.

But he hadn’t expected it to be so formidable.

“His physique is as formidable as ever, shockingly powerful,” Sikong lamented.

As an SSS-grade Devouring Divine Body user, he found it difficult to contend with the opponent in terms of physique; if this were to get out, it would likely shock the world.

Buzz!

The epic-grade weapon, Creation Banner, suddenly plunged downwards, and black ripples spread out.

A black Bagua diagram appeared above Jiang Yuan’s head, while a white Bagua diagram appeared beneath him.

Sealing space, shocking the Divine Soul.

Cao Xi, Professor formed a hand seal with one hand, uttering a mantra, and his words were followed by the Law.

“Suppress!”

The black Bagua diagram and the white Bagua diagram rapidly converged and squeezed towards the center, like a black and white millstone, carrying the mighty power of heaven and earth to completely grind and crush Jiang Yuan, who was as small as an ant in the center.

“Utilizing the power of heaven and earth to imprison space, huh…”

Jiang Yuan’s eyes flickered; he was confined to his spot and unable to move, unable to use either Divine Speed or Star Shift.

His right hand, wearing the black and red Blood Sacrifice Gloves, clenched into a fist.

He unleashed a punch.

Terrifying golden fist light tore through the air, heavily striking the Bagua diagram above, emitting an earth-shattering roar.

The Bagua diagram vibrated violently but was not shattered.

Most of the punch’s power was decomposed and dissipated, leaving only 1/10 of its original might.

Heaven and earth converged, and a black and white light beam enveloped Jiang Yuan’s entire body.

The Yin and Yang forces of black and white seemed like billions of sharp blades sweeping across Jiang Yuan’s body.

He felt a faint sensation of pain as his skin was ground and cut.

Although the terrifying recovery ability of the Immortal Divine Body instantly restored him to normal, it did indeed break through his defense.

This also sparked a rare bit of interest in Jiang Yuan.

“A bit interesting. In that case…”

His black hair swayed, and a scorching golden glow lit up in the depths of his eyes, as if golden flames were burning.

Exploding Star!

Boom—!!

Like the explosion of a blazing, grand star.

The black and white light beam, along with the black and white Bagua diagrams above and below, were shattered in an instant by a power that exceeded limits, collapsing and cracking like fragile eggshells!

Golden light flashed, and Jiang Yuan, wreathed in golden Qi flames, appeared before Cao Xi, Professor. The moment his golden-glowing eyes met those of the black-clothed youth.

Cao Xi, Professor’s Divine Soul trembled, and his mental world was affected.

A gray halo representing fear was affixed, and his combat power instantly declined by thirty percent.

Whoosh!

A whip kick swept out, like a sky-rending blade that could cut through all things. Golden force Qi sliced through Cao Xi, Professor’s body, creating a hundred-meter-long vacuum zone behind him.

Cao Xi, Professor’s body split into two, and both halves transformed into black and white cloud Qi and dispersed.

Heavenly Master Dao Law – Cloud Water Incarnation.

“That was close, that was close.”

Cao Xi, Professor’s true body appeared out of thin air a thousand meters away.

He rapidly formed hand seals.

In an instant, hundreds of Heavenly Master Talismans appeared around him, each as large as a human head, floating and shining, like stars in the sky.

Eventually, all these Talismans merged into one, forming a thousand-meter-tall Heavenly Master Dharma Idol behind him, majestic and supreme.

“Talismans have no fixed form, taking Qi as their spirit; thunder does not strike idly, it acts on behalf of heaven!”

The Dharma Idol’s giant hand crashed down, accompanied by myriad thunderbolts, forming a sea of thunder that overwhelmingly pressed down on Jiang Yuan.

The Void Realm within this small Secret Realm seemed to be on the verge of collapse from the pressure.

With his Exploding Star state activated and his basic attributes multiplied several times, Jiang Yuan grinned.

After reaching the eighth-tier Martial Artist, he finally had a chance to fully display his abilities.

In this battle, he would decide the victor with his physique and combat skills.

He pushed off with his legs, transforming into a beam of golden light that rushed into the sea of thunder, moving at several times the speed of sound.

In an instant, he unleashed hundreds of punches.

The Law of Ten was triggered.

“Boom!”

The Pure Yang Thunder Sea covering a hundred-meter radius was shattered with a bang, and even the entire right arm of the Heavenly Master Dharma Idol was blasted apart.

Cao Xi, Professor’s expression changed slightly, and he waved the Creation Banner in his hand.

“Creation Lock, Dragon Nailing!”

The black and white banner fluttered, and black and white Qi rushed out like flowing water.

In the Void Realm, countless black and white chains extended, binding towards Jiang Yuan.

And above the sky, an incredibly massive golden divine nail appeared, descending majestically.

“Star Shift.”

Jiang Yuan’s figure flickered, exchanging positions with Cao Xi, Professor, avoiding the attack of the black and white divine locks.

Immediately after, he unleashed a backhand punch.

Sky-Rending Strike.

The peerless fist light unleashed by this punch was like a spear piercing through heaven and earth, unstoppable, carrying endless sharpness and vigor.

Cao Xi, Professor narrowly avoided it.

However, the shield outside the arena was directly pierced, and the fist light obliquely shot into the earth.

Not daring to hold back any longer, Cao Xi, Professor simply unleashed his full strength.

His hidden talent was also revealed for the first time before everyone’s eyes.

SSS Talent – Three Pure Incarnations!

When two other Cao Xi, Professors, one in black and one in white Daoist robes, emerged from his body and stood shoulder to shoulder with the Cao Xi, Professor in a green Daoist robe holding the Creation Banner.

Everyone present was shocked.

“Three, three Professor Caos?!”

“Is this an illusion?!” Someone rubbed their eyes.

“No, this isn’t an illusion, and those aren’t phantoms or Clones, but real ones,” a mentor said with a shocked expression.

“Real?! Does that mean… the other two also have King-level strength?!”

Professor Song Yun was also greatly astonished, “The legendary talent, One Qi Manifesting Three Pure Ones, actually exists!”

Lin Qingyan was also somewhat surprised.

She had no impression of such a powerful individual, and it seemed she hadn’t heard much about him in later generations.

With such a formidable person holding down the fort, how could Kunlun Academy still be annihilated by a King-level lord monster?

Could there be other hidden circumstances behind the catastrophe that befell Kunlun Academy a year later?

“Three Pure Ones as one, each possessing King-level strength, and each holding an epic-grade weapon, this…”

“Doesn’t this mean fighting three King-level powerhouses at once?! Hiss…”

“How can he possibly win this?”

Even Yan Runan, who had infinite confidence in Jiang Yuan, couldn’t help but feel a little doubtful and anxious at this moment.

Jiang Yuan looked at the three Cao Xi, Professors opposite him, and the corners of his mouth gradually curved upwards.

In terms of combat power, Cao Xi, Professor was probably the strongest King Realm opponent he had encountered so far.

His strength was even above that of the Judge he encountered in the Mechanical Emperor’s Remains.

It truly was…

“Interesting.”
