88: Chapter 88: Beaten to the point of questioning his existence by Jiang Hao, who was of the same level.

Luo Hongchen gave a gentle smile and suddenly proposed: "Then why not have the Great Emperor seal his cultivation at the First Heaven of Great Sage and fight you all?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of the three young people lit up.

Feng Xi immediately looked at Jiang Hao, her eyes wide and pleading: "Great Emperor, is that okay? Please!"

Little War Emperor also leaned in: "Uncle Jiang, let us experience it!"

Although Chu Changge didn't speak, his eyes were also full of expectation.

Seeing this, the others also started to egg them on.

Battle Saint Venerable grinned: "Old Jiang, indulge the kids, let them feel what we felt back then."

"Yes, right, that can be arranged," everyone chimed in, agreeing and looking forward to it.

Jiang Hao looked at the expectant eyes of the three young people, then at the amused expressions of his old friends, and smiled.

"Since you want to try, then try."

He paused, "But there's no need to seal my cultivation."

Everyone looked at him curiously.

Jiang Hao raised his hand and waved, a Small World of shimmering colors unfolded in the starry sky.

That world wasn't large, but it was incredibly real, complete with mountains, rivers, sun, moon, stars, and all the rules of the Great Dao.

"This is..." A flash of surprise passed through Ancient God Child's eyes, "A Small World evolved from the Great Dao?"

"Mm-hmm," Jiang Hao nodded.

Now that he held the heavenly heart imprint, creating such a world was simple for him.

As he spoke, a phantom figure slowly coalesced at the center of the Small World.

It was a young man who looked to be in his early twenties, his features bearing a seventy percent resemblance to Jiang Hao's but appearing younger and sharper.

He stood there, his Aura unmistakably that of the First Heaven of Great Sage.

"This is my Dao Shadow from when I was at the First Heaven of Great Sage," Jiang Hao explained. "It possesses all my combat power, experience, and battle awareness from that time. When you enter, a phantom of you will also appear, with combat power no different from your true body, and any injuries sustained inside won't affect your real body."

Everyone gasped in shock. Jiang Hao's move had surprised them again. There was such an operation? So Advanced?

Creating a world at will, replicating one's own Dao Shadow, and conducting risk-free trials... Such methods already surpassed their ordinary understanding of "divine abilities," approaching the level of creation.

A gleam of wonder flashed in the eyes of several veteran Quasi-Emperors, each clearly gaining their own insights.

Jiang Hao, however, simply smiled slightly, as if he had done something trivial.

He flicked his sleeve again, and a set of simple, archaic stone tea utensils appeared on a jade table in the middle of the group.

White steam rose from the teapot's spout, and an indescribably fragrant aroma instantly filled the air. The scent seemed capable of cleansing the soul, pulling on Dao Rhyme, invigorating the spirits of those who smelled it and making the magic power within them more active.

"enlightenment tea!" Long Hao sniffed, his eyes suddenly widening into circles. "Old Jiang, it's always you, you absolute tycoon."

"It's alright. The forbidden zones have it, you just need to go get it."

Everyone was speechless upon hearing this. What kind of place were the forbidden zones? Who in the current era besides you dared to go take it? Long Hao gave Jiang Hao full marks for this show-off.

Battle Saint Venerable had already unceremoniously sat down by the jade table, rubbing his hands: "Good, good. We'll watch the fight and drink the tea. Quick, pour it!"

Ancient God Child, Luo Hongchen, Feng Wu, and others also sat down with smiles, the atmosphere instantly shifting from the previous shock and solemnity to relaxed and pleasant.

While waiting for Jiang Hao to pour the tea, they turned their gazes towards the Small World, as if watching a long-anticipated grand show.

"Placing bets, placing bets!" Long Hao took the teacup Jiang Hao handed him, took a deep sniff, his face full of intoxication. Then, gesturing with his chin towards the three young people preparing inside the Small World, he said,

"Guess, how many moves can these three youngsters last under Brother Jiang's peer-level Dao Shadow?"

"One move," Ancient God Child took a sip of tea, concise and to the point.

"I think one move too," Luo Hongchen said with a gentle smile, adding, "And most likely, even if the three of them join forces, it will still be one move."

Battle Saint Venerable chuckled: "My kid is tough, maybe he can hold on for half a move before going down? But the result is the same."

Feng Wu looked at the phantom of her niece, brimming with fighting spirit inside the Small World, a trace of tender amusement flashing in her eyes. She shook her head, didn't speak, but clearly agreed with everyone's judgment.

Feng Xi and the other two looked at that phantom figure, a blazing fighting spirit igniting in their eyes.

"Who goes first?" Jiang Hao asked.

"Me!" Feng Xi was the first to step forward, entering the Small World, where a phantom of her subsequently generated.

She focused for a moment and found it indeed felt no different from her true self.

Then, taking a deep breath, seven-colored divine flames ignited around her body, her Phoenix Bloodline fully activated, and the phantom of a seven-colored Divine Phoenix spread its wings behind her.

This was the strongest state she could currently muster!

Inside the Small World, that phantom figure stood quietly, as if waiting.

Feng Xi let out a sharp cry, transforming into a streak of seven-colored divine light as she charged forward.

She formed hand seals with both hands, the seven-colored divine flames transforming into a giant Phoenix claw that tore through the void, grasping towards the phantom!

Just as the Phoenix claw was about to touch the phantom,

the phantom moved.

He simply raised his right hand, clenched his fist, and threw a punch.

There were no dazzling phenomena, no overwhelming momentum, just a plain, ordinary straight punch.

But the instant Feng Xi saw this punch, every hair on her body stood on end!

An extreme sense of crisis originating from her life's instincts enveloped her, as if every cell in her body was screaming for her to flee!

Without any hesitation, Feng Xi forcefully halted her forward charge, unleashed all her divine abilities, and transformed into a stream of light fleeing into the distance!

She decided to retreat first. This wasn't cowardice; it was a tactical withdrawal!

However, it was already too late.

That punch seemed slow, but in reality, it was fast to the extreme.

The light of the punch blotted out the sky and covered the earth, unavoidable, unstoppable.

All the defensive divine abilities and protective divine flames Feng Xi deployed were as fragile as paper before this punch's light.

She felt as if she had been head-on by a massive star.

In the instant before her body completely shattered, only one thought flashed through her mind.

The hell is this First Heaven of Great Sage?

A few seconds later, at the edge of the Small World, gray mist gathered again to form Feng Xi's figure.

She stood there, somewhat dazed, her gaze vacant as she looked at the phantom still standing calmly in the distance.

"Gr... Great Emperor..." Her voice trembled, "Did you cheat? How could this possibly be the First Heaven of Great Sage?"

This was just too ridiculously strong!

That punch just now, she felt she would have believed it even if someone said it was from the Ninth Heaven of Great Sage.

Jiang Hao took a sip of the enlightenment tea and chuckled: "Guaranteed authentic, no deception."

"Hahaha!" Battle Saint Venerable slapped his thigh and laughed, "Girl, believe it now? Your Uncle Jiang was just this outrageous back then! We personally verified it with our flesh and blood. The taste, ah, brings back endless memories!"

Long Hao also grimaced, as if recalling some wonderful past: "Who says it isn't? Thinking about it now, my bones still ache."

Feng Xi still found it hard to believe: "But this is just too..."

"This is the Chaos Great Emperor," Ancient God Child said calmly. "Throughout all eternity, there has only been one like him. Get used to it."

"Alright then," Feng Xi could only accept this terrifying fact.

"Downplay it, downplay it," Jiang Hao waved his hand, then looked at Little War Emperor and Chu Changge: "So, do you two still want to fight?"

The two looked at each other, both seeing shock in the other's eyes.

The combat performance of Jiang Hao's Dao Shadow just now had truly shaken them. Was this real? How were they supposed to fight this?

But the next moment, both nodded simultaneously.
