40: Kill the mirror monster, obtain the secret method, and break through the three realms

Mirror Demon subconsciously used the same movement technique, trying to dodge, but found that the spiritual energy in its body had been suppressed.

However, there was no panic on its face.

That was because its talent allowed its physical strength to be permanently enhanced every time it killed a main body.

This also made it always much stronger than the original when replicating others' martial arts and talents.

Within the same realm, it was an invincible existence.

Mirror Demon's mouth stretched to its ears, its dark eyes mocking without concealment: "Hit me, if you don't hit me now, you won't have a chance!"

It had calculated that Lu Ming's strength was far inferior to its own, and relying on the strength of its own physical body, it was fearless.

Boom!

Mirror Demon's mocking expression instantly froze.

Lu Ming's fist actually smashed squarely into that arrogant face!

It didn't even have time to feel the pain before its vision spun, and the next second, its back heavily crashed onto the mirror-like ground.

"Crack!"

A crisp cracking sound exploded in the Buddhist hall, and the mirror floor shattered like a spiderweb, with countless cracks spreading out from Mirror Demon as the center, the deepest fissures large enough to swallow half a foot.

Mirror Demon was pinned into the sunken pit by this immense force, a dull pain coming from its chest, and a sweet, metallic taste rising in its throat.

If it hadn't relied on its physical body, which had been strengthened dozens of times, its ribs would probably have been shattered into powder by now.

"You..." Mirror Demon struggled to get up, an expression of disbelief appearing in its dark pupils for the first time, "How is your strength possibly..."

It had clearly replicated all of the opponent's strength, and in its perception, Lu Ming's strength was at most only seventy percent of its own.

But the explosive power of that punch just now was even more terrifying than its own full-strength attack!

Lu Ming flexed his knuckles, a crackling sound coming from his joints, and crimson lightning arcs danced on his fists, reflecting a bloody red in his eyes: "Is it strange? Working people have plenty of strength and means!"

"Impossible! My talent can't be wrong!" Mirror Demon roared, struggling, but was firmly suppressed by Lu Ming.

Lu Ming's fist slammed down heavily, pushing its recently raised head back into the sunken mirror surface.

Broken glass shards mixed with dark red demon blood embedded themselves in its nape, completely distorting that face, which was indistinguishable from Lu Ming's.

"Your talent is very strong!" Lu Ming leaned down, his eyes full of playful mockery, "But I'm sorry, I'm a cheater!"

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

Ten punches thrown in one second.

With the Thousand Jun Strength, every punch landed solidly.

If it were an ordinary alien race, it would have been decapitated long ago.

However, this Mirror Demon's physical body was exceptionally strong and very resilient.

It endured the intense pain, its eyes bloodshot from extreme anger, the afterimages of Lu Ming's punches reflected in its dark pupils, as it silently counted the time until the suppression of the Thunderclap Killing Burst wore off.

1 second!

2 seconds!

"Time's running out!" Mirror Demon suddenly let out a sinister laugh.

The moment its body regained freedom, the lightning arcs on it crackled, truly identical to the killing moves Lu Ming usually performed.

"Had enough fun hitting me? Now, it's my turn!"

Mirror Demon's figure suddenly sprang from the pit, sending shattered glass shards raining towards Lu Ming.

The crimson lightning arcs entwining its body were even more intense than Lu Ming's, clearly the amplified effect of its replicated talent combined with its own demonic power.

Looking at Lu Ming, who was suppressed in place, Mirror Demon approached with a sinister grin: "Whew~ This move of yours is really effective!"

But just as its fist was about to touch Lu Ming's nose.

Lu Ming suddenly smiled: "Effective? I have an even better one here!"

Countless transparent threads of law suddenly descended from mid-air, firmly binding its limbs.

Mirror Demon's fist abruptly halted in mid-air, its pupils contracting sharply.

It could clearly feel its soul trembling.

"What the hell is this!" Mirror Demon's voice distorted with fear.

This extreme crushing sensation, it had never even felt it from its master, Reid the Venerable.

The only response it received was the sound of Lu Ming drawing his blade.

"Invincible in the same realm?" Lu Ming scoffed, lightly thrusting the blade in his hand forward.

[Execution successful, experience +1, current execution probability triggered 1% (2/10)]

"No! I don't want to die!!! Master, save me!" Mirror Demon roared with extreme unwillingness.

Then, its body shattered like a mirror, and countless transparent fragments floated down from the wound.

The moment those fragments landed.

Chants suddenly echoed in the Buddhist hall.

Lu Ming abruptly looked up, only to see the ten-foot-tall golden Buddha above the altar cracking with spiderweb-like fine lines from its brow, the gilded surface peeling off, revealing a turquoise-glowing glazed skeleton within.

Mirror Demon's fragments, guided by a mysterious force, floated towards the glazed skeleton.

"Om —"

The dim glaze suddenly burst forth with dazzling golden light, and countless scriptures flowed in a certain pattern.

Inside the skeleton, it lit up like a sky full of stars.

One.

Two.

A full 720.

720 points of light lit up one after another within the glazed skeleton, as if someone had ignited an entire galaxy deep within the bones.

"This is..."

Lu Ming's pupils contracted; he found that 360 of these light points corresponded exactly to the 360 acupoints in his own body.

As for the remaining 360... he thought of a certain possibility.

"Could it be that 360 acupoints are not the limit of the human body?" A storm surged in Lu Ming's heart.

Suddenly, the eerie chanting sounded again, and the glazed skeleton above the altar trembled.

The brightest point of light at the very top suddenly extinguished, transforming into a golden stream of light that shot towards Lu Ming's brow.

A vast spiritual energy surged into his body like a breached dam.

Lu Ming only felt a rumble in his mind, and that power sank down his spine.

The somewhat fatigued spiritual energy boiled again, gathering in the dark side of the Heavenly Mandate Pass, and a brand new acupoint was suddenly formed.

"So that's it... not breaking through acupoints, but creating them!" Enlightenment flashed in Lu Ming's eyes.

Immediately after.

Ten.

A hundred.

Three hundred.

However, Lu Ming did not notice that as more acupoints appeared in his dark aspect, the golden Buddha on the lotus pedestal, which only had half a face, curved its lips higher.

When the last dark acupoint was completely lit up.

Lu Ming felt an unprecedented smoothness within his body.

720 acupoints lit up simultaneously, the light of bright and dark intertwining into a vast starry sky.

But Lu Ming did not stop; instead, he continuously compressed the spiritual energy of the first acupoint.

The light within the first acupoint grew increasingly concentrated, gradually condensing from brilliant starlight into viscous golden liquid.

Drip!

As the spiritual liquid dripped, Lu Ming felt the shackles of his body being struck by a heavy hammer, emitting a dull cracking sound.

Spiritual energy liquified!

The third realm, reached!

Immediately after.

His body, like a thirsty sponge, frantically devoured the rich spiritual energy emanating from the Buddha statue.

Heavenly Eye Acupoint.

Dark Sea Acupoint.

The acupoints of the two great cycles, bright and dark, continuously alternated, and the compressed spiritual liquid filled 80 acupoints in a row.

It wasn't until the Buddha statue's spiritual energy completely dissipated that Lu Ming opened his eyes.

Almost at the same time, the Golden Buddha also opened its eyes.

A bloody shadow shot up from the Golden Buddha: "Hahaha, five hundred years, this Venerable is back!"

Viscous blood instantly covered Lu Ming's body.

"You ignorant brat, you dare to cultivate this Venerable's things? To thank you, this Venerable will take your body!"

Just as Lu Ming was horrified, golden light suddenly burst forth from his body, and the Nine Yang Divine Body automatically activated.
