Chapter 221: Pinnacle of Great Overarching Realm, Inner World Destruction

10,000 years were far too long.

If it were to be in the mortal realm, even the sea might have dried out as there would be a lot of historical changes, and even the vicissitude of civilization itself.

Jiang Ming’s past memories were all shattered into pieces.

Looking further back into his past, all the memories that were considered useless for his cultivation were destroyed. Slowly, his aura of extreme indifference gradually returned.

“There isn’t a track of time in the mountains and yet thousands of years have gone by in reality.” Jiang Ming sighed.

He now had a deeper understanding of the fact that the more powerful a cultivator was, the more indifferent the person became.

It was not that these cultivators were trying to be indifferent on purpose, but the long retreat into cultivation caused the person’s emotion to gradually fade away.

“For my next retreat into cultivation, I will have to first seal up my memories!” Jiang Ming had his plans laid out.

He checked his own status, comprehended the changes within himself for he had already stepped into the True Immortal Realm.

His inner world had already given birth to all the laws of the True Immortal, while the origin had also further grown. Although there weren’t any qualitative changes, there were still quite a lot of improvements to it.

In fact, it merely took him 5,000 years to complete his transformation.

After all, it was not the transition of a world but only an accumulation and enchantment of cultivation.

Coupled with the enlightenment that he underwent from time to time out in the world, the True Immortal Laws were formed very quickly.

The rest of the time was used to deduce the special abilities and improve his combat power.

Now that his combat power had improved, what more was he waiting for? It was time to clear the levels and accumulate more points.

Jiang Ming connected himself with the Battle Tower and his figure slowly disappeared into thin air as he was transported into the second level of the fifth Battle Tower.

Third level, passed.

Fourth level, passed

Fifth level, passed.

Sixth level, failed.

With the improvement that he received from his transformation, he broke through the levels forcefully.

“To think that the True Immortal Realm really isn’t enough to clear the fifth Battle Tower!”Jiang Ming expected this to happen and wasn’t disappointed about it. He just sort of lamented on the results.

When he first came here, he was able to clear four Battle Towers because his inner world underwent earth-shaking changes due to extreme transformation. Now that he had stepped into the True Immortal Realm, what changed were only an increment of the total accumulation of his cultivation.

‘The accumulation of points isn’t as high as I hoped for, but it’s still quite a lot.’

‘For the True Immortal Realm, no points will be awarded for clearing the first Battle Tower. The points will only be calculated from the second Battle Tower onwards, starting off with 1 point per level, increasing by tenfold into 10 points per level for the third Battle Tower. The points will then be increased by a hundred-fold, giving 1,000 points per level and increased again by another hundred-fold, giving 10,000 points per level!’

‘I’ve already been awarded points for the first level of the fifth Battle Tower and the levels before them, so these didn’t count!’

‘Now that I broke through four levels consecutively, I’m awarded 100,000 points per level. Therefore, it’s a total of 400,000 points!’

‘400,000 points down my pocket!’

‘There’s still the Heavenly Ladder to go for!’

Jiang Ming was in a great mood that day.

He had to stop at the 42nd step the last time. With the improvement to his cultivation realm this time around, his origin had been strengthened and should be able to help him go up a few more levels this time.

After trying the Heavenly Ladder this time, he fell upon reaching the 46th level and was considered to have gone up three steps. He was then awarded 300,000 points for it.

Name: Jiang Ming

Cultivation Base: Level 11 (Heavenly Immortal Realm)

Points Accumulated: 7,734,771

Achievements: [Heavenly Immortal Realm: Battle Tower level 37, Heavenly Ladder step 42], [True Immortal Realm: Fifth Battle Tower, level 2 to 5, Heavenly Ladder step 43 to 45].

His accumulated points had increased by 700,000.

However, his retreat into cultivation this time around consumed quite a bit of his points, racking up to more than 200,000 points used.

If other people knew what he just did, who knows how many would be distressed to death on how he squandered his points.

However, it was worth it for Jiang Ming.

The improvement of the cultivation base had reached his expectation and that he had also fully mastered it.

It could be considered that he had completely digested the whole skyrocket of his powers.

‘Should I return?’ Jiang Ming sat on the lotus platform as he frowned and pondered.

The improvement this time around was not qualitative changes. Therefore, if he were to go back now, it would still be unsafe.

In the end, he decided to stay to continue increasing his cultivation realm!

Jiang Ming, “Supreme Order, set me up for an acceleration by 10,000 years. Remind me in 10,000 years!”

Supreme Order, “Alright!”

His surroundings were shrouded in fog as the time was reversed.

Jiang Ming didn’t sink into his cultivation the first thing it started but took out cooked foods and feasted on it. He also took out bottles upon bottles of immortal brews, drinking himself into satisfaction.

Gluttony and lust are the natural human natures.

Since Junior Sister was not around, he could only eat and drink. It was fortunate that he had enough food.

Jiang Ming, “Question. Will time stand still or be in sync with the outside world if I were to cultivate in Hongmeng Core Land?”

Supreme Order, “In sync!”

Jiang Ming sighed lightly and continued asking, “How long does it take for an instance of cultivation?”

Supreme Order, “Thirty days in terms of mortal time.

Thirty days was not a lot. It was actually very little.

Afterall, it was for 500,000 points!

As he recalled the points that he used for the past 10,000 years, Jiang Ming was at a loss of words. ‘Cultivation of the World Dao is not the ordinary level of difficulty. Luckily, I got my hands on the Supreme Order. Otherwise…’

Otherwise, the current him would definitely be yet to step into the Immortal Realm.

Jiang Ming forcefully suppressed the many thoughts in his mind and turned on the enlightenment mode again.

It cost one point every two hours, but Jiang Ming didn’t mind.

Relatively speaking, using one point for 10,000 years of cultivation time was worth it. Moreover, it was considered the benefits given to the group members.

As for costing 1,000 points to listen to the sermons once, it would be much more difficult.

In a flick of an eye, the time acceleration Jiang Ming was experiencing had come to an end.

In reality, Jiang Ming had been there for merely two hours. His body then disappeared as he entered the Battle Tower and continued to break through the levels.

Upon appearing on the sixth floor of the fifth Battle Tower, Jun Sanqian appeared on the opposite side.

As he looked at Jiang Ming, his face was scrunched as though he was having a toothache as he muttered, “Oh little brother! Enlightenment mode under ten-thousand-year acceleration. You’re really taking these points very lightly! This is such a waste!”

“It’s just some points. Old Brother, you care quite a bit for them?” Jiang Ming asked strangely.

“Points are not to be used like that! This is just too much of a waste!” Jun Sanqian continued as he couldn’t help shaking his head, “You are such a big dog with so many points in hand! You’re a lazy person and yet you are so anxious to improve your cultivation now. Is it because of certain problems over at your side?”

“A bit of a problem. I feel my strength is still lacking and I’m now anxious to improve myself!” Jiang Ming explained, and continued, “Old brother, you were right! With the Heavenly Immortal Realm, I was able to get past a few Battle Towers and yet when I reached the True Immortal Realm, I could only move forward another four levels. I’m really not used to these changes!”

Jun Sanqian was speechless, “The last time you tried yourself in the Battle Tower, you were at the True Immortal Realm and were taking on the Taiyi Realm Battle Tower! You managed to pass four levels consecutively and you’re telling me you’re not used to this? Forget it. You’re a little monster as well. Make your move! Let’s see if you can clear the fifth Battle Tower this time!”

“Bring it on, old brother!” Jiang Ming’s fighting spirit soared.

He was now in the Mysterious Immortal Realm and was at the pinnacle. It could be regarded as the ultimate state of the Mysterious Immortal Realm. Looking over the infinite realms, there were very few people who could be compared to him.

The origin of his inner world had also further grown. In terms of raw power, even if it had not fully reached the Great Overarching Realm level, it was already coming close.

Ten clones appeared around Jiang Ming.

Although the origin of his inner world was strong, it was impossible for him to mobilize all that energy. Therefore, conjuring clones helped increase his combat power. Also, it only consumed some of the origin to do so.

“Time and Space Confinement!”

At the same time, the 10 clones all evoked the same special ability.

That’s right, they only used the same ability.

Space was the king and Time was the Venerate.

The combination of space and time had evolved into a terrifying special ability of confinement. Even Jun Sanqian’s terrifying and boundless power that had just been brewing was imprisoned by the ability.

Before he could break free from the confinement, the Return of Infinite Law Finger technique had already landed onto his forehead, penetrating his sea of consciousness, destroying his primal spirit at the same time.

With that, Jiang Ming was now on the seventh level!

It was still Jun Sanqian standing in front of him. Jun Sanqian looked at Jiang Ming and was quite speechless for what happened, “You’re sort of cheating!”

“Hehe!” Jiang Ming couldn’t help but laugh, “Tell me old brother, what do you think of this technique of mine?”

“Strong! Extremely strong at that!” Jun Sanqian commented and continued, “Time-Space Dao can lock space, freeze time, break through all illusions and imprison a target. You used ten clones that evoked the ability at the same time. Such dense immortality essence of yours really makes people envious! It’s extremely difficult to evade it, but still isn’t impossible. The person can either forcefully break through the shackle or use Immortal Soldiers as a defensive mechanism. It’s a pity that this is the Battle Tower and I only have such a level of strength here. Also, I do not have any powerful Immortal Soldier. Therefore, trying to break free from such a technique of yours is quite difficult!”

“I pondered for a long time because of that and finally came up with such a technique to face off against my enemy. This also fully maximizes my advantages over others!” Jiang Ming explained as he nodded.

During his cultivation retreat, he comprehended special abilities and evoked infinite laws. Coupled with the various situations where he fought against many, he finally came up with such an approach towards his enemy.

“The idea is very good indeed!” Jun Sanqian said with a smile, “Your origin is dense, yet your cultivation realm is insufficient. You will definitely suffer a loss in the long run. It’s better to just start off with your ultimate killer move right off the bat! It’s also fortunate that your comprehension of special ability is strong enough, otherwise, it will still not work. Also, your mind and will is also strong enough to be able to evoke such terrifying clones. You were also able to completely control your powers and can even command your avatars to evoke the special ability at the same time! It would be absolutely impossible for someone else to do this. After all, the stronger the conjured clones, the more willpower it consumes!”

“You are amazing, old brother!” Jiang Ming praised Jun Sanqian in amazement.

One of the reasons his mind and will being this strong was because of the evolution of his inner world. The key to it was still because of the Grand Path Almighty Method Sutra he was cultivating, mending his mind and will to a terrifying level.

The Grand Path Almighty Method Sutra coupled with his inner world had really formed a qualitative change.

“Should I be the one to make the first move this time?” Jun Sanqian asked.

“Old brother, you’re actually thinking of testing my ability to cope with situations, right? Alright!” Jiang Ming replied, “I’ve also considered such situations happening, so you can just make your move, old brother!”

Jun Sanqian nodded. Immediately after his body swayed, figures of himself were densely packed throughout each corner of the skies, filling each and every gap. Also, all these figures had spiritual auras and were all extraordinarily powerful.

At the very next moment, the millions of figures launched their attacks at the same time.

“Explode!”

Ten clones had already appeared around Jiang Ming.

It was at this moment, one of the clones made its move.

He directly went ahead with the Grand World Technique, incorporating all the surrounding voids into it and then followed up by self-destructing.

BooM!

The void exploded in great successions as waves of torrents rolled out through the surrounding area from the explosion.

Jun Sanqian’s attacks were stunned by the explosion and the millions of figures suddenly blurred for a short while before solidifying yet again.

“Found you!”

“Time and Space Confinement!”

Jiang Ming’s eyes lit up and the rest of the nine clones made their moves at the same time, confining Jun Sanqian, before following up with the Return of Infinite Law Finger, destroying him.

With this technique, it did not matter whether it was the eighth floor or the ninth floor, Jiang Ming passed all of them.

He had now reached the first level of the sixth Battle Tower.

“One-trick pony! To think that you were able to pass the fifth Battle Tower with the same move!” The opponent in the sixth Battle Tower was still Jun Sanqian and he was quite speechless at how Jiang Ming dealt with the fifth Battle Tower.

“Old brother! There’s an infinite number of special abilities, yet it all comes down to its effectiveness!” Jiang Ming smiled and continued, “Old brother. Are you in the Great Overarching Realm state?”

“That’s right!” Jun Sanqian nodded and continued, “All the levels of the fifth Battle Tower were determined based on the rankings of the cultivators across the infinite realms who were at the pinnacle of Taiyi Realm. Now that it has come down to the sixth level, they will all be at the pinnacle of the Great Overarching Realm now. These geniuses are all arrogant in the infinite realms. Compared to the ninth level of the fifth Battle Tower, their combat powers have increased by more than 100-fold to the point that they could even cut down a Quasi-Sage! Bother, are you still feeling confident?”

“Well, I’ll still have to give it a try!” Jiang Ming replied as 10 clones appeared around him yet again.

This time however, his expression was extremely solemn. His body grew greatly, reaching a height of 300 feet. His physical strength increased by 300-fold. It was extreme to an almost unbelievable state.

“Old brother, I’ll be making the first move now!”

“Time and Space Confinement!”

Jiang Ming let out a long howl as all of his clones burst into evoking the confinement technique.

The power of time and space intertwined, forming chains after chains as they entangled Jun Sanqian. However, this terrifying existence of Jun Sanqian started bursting out streaks and streaks of sword qi, smashing the chains of time and space abruptly, breaking through the special ability.

With a swift beam from the sword light, all the clones were destroyed.

“That strong?” Jiang Ming was horrified, “Return of Infinite Law Finger!”

The power that was brewing in his body finally surged out, putting his physical body to the limits as he burst out in an unprecedented dazzling luminance.

It was a single finger technique aiming to break apart the Great Dao’s Shackle with the sole aim of annihilation. However, the technique was parried with a single sword slash by Jun Sanqian.

“It’s blocked?” Jiang Ming was shocked.

“Well, my current state is at the pinnacle of the Great Overarching Realm. Not only has my cultivation base skyrocketed, I also gained various special abilities at that.” Jun Sanjian gave him a brimming smile and continued, “Alas, the Great Overarching Realm! Overseeing the infinite realms, it can be said to be a type of qualitative metamorphosis to a person where the cultivator experiences sublimation of life, escaping the transcendence of the long river of destiny. From here on, those from where he originates will know him for who he is, where his true self is the one who thread on the path of Great Dao. He will become a unique entity in the infinite realm and only then that a person can truly control his own destiny. Great Overarching also has its own special ability. The essence of control in the Great Overarching Realm and the combat power it produces is something that is far beyond your expectation. You might be able to deal with the ordinary Great Overarching Golden Immortal but facing the current me now is still a very difficult feat.”

“Is that so, old brother? Still, I will not admit defeat!” Jiang Ming’s fighting spirit soared yet again as blood shot smoked rushed out above his head, reaching the million-mile height of the sky that was conjured in this space.

The stars started swaying and the milky ways trembled.

“Worlds Projection, Great Dao Chessboard!”

Jiang Ming struck again.

His inner world started to manifest into reality as chains of the 3,000 laws penetrated through the void, forming a perfect chessboard, criss-crossing, and imprisoning everything in it.

Within the chessboard, Jiang Ming was the Heavenly Dao itself, the true dictator that controls the infinite laws. Everything was mere chess pieces to him.

This was the special ability that Jiang Ming had continued to deduce based on the World Projection technique.

Repression, Imprisonment, Blockade, Suppression, etc.

“It’s not bad! But it’s still useless to me!” Jun Sanqian commented while he shook his head. With a flick of his finger, a sword slash burst out, tearing the void into a huge ravine.

“This is only just the beginning!” Jiang Ming wasn’t the slightest of all surprised but was conversely extremely calm.

Based on the current state of Jun Sanqian’s combative ability, his thoughts cycled through 300 billion times in an instance before finally concluding: If he wants to win, he can only risk his life for it.

“With the laws as the flame and the origin as it’s fuel, let the inner world ignite!”

Boom!

As Jiang Ming muttered, the laws were evoked as the chains of law that was shaking the void were ignited by a holy flame. The power of origin poured out, turning into a monstrous power of destruction.

“Inner World Destruction!”

“Let the inner world be destroyed as all things return to nothingness, fuelling the power of the ultimate annihilation!”

Jiang Ming directly sacrificed his inner world.

The moment when the inner world was destroyed, the power of destruction that transcended everything burst out in all directions.

The strength of such a blow was akin to the tears of the Heavenly Dao, the curse by all living beings that could completely bury an entire era, putting an end into everything there was.

Along with the destruction of the world, calamity, curse, viciousness, decay, annihilation and many more emerged one after another and finally turned into a force that could end everything, condensed on his fingertips.

“Little boy! You actually deduced such a level of special ability!” Jun Sanqian was very surprised, “Although the destruction of a world is capable of leading to such a terrifying outburst of power, it should be far from this level that you produced. You destroyed the world and used it to evoke an ultimate special ability of total annihilation from it! You really dare to think of such thoughts and even do so!”

“Hehe! Well, old brother. Since this is within the Battle Tower, I will naturally have to do my best to get more points!” Jiang Ming’s soul trembled as his voice was 10,000 times faster than the speed of light, “I wouldn’t dare to even deduce such a special ability, let alone evoking it if I was in the outside world!”

His sound echoed through the space.

This finger technique of Jiang Ming had already solidified the surrounding void.

Even Jun Sanqian was struggling frantically as sword qi that transcended fate was bursting out of his body, cutting through the power of laws, and trying to tear apart Jiang Ming’s attack.

It was at this moment, Jiang Ming’s fingertip slowly inched forward, shattering the sword lights that tried to block it and the technique finally landed on Jun Sanqian’s forehead.

Jun Sanqian’s head immediately exploded, and his primal spirit annihilated in an instant.

However, the moment Jiang Ming landed his attack, Jun Sanqian made his dying counterattack as he smashed Jiang Ming’s body into pieces with a slash of sword light.

Due to sacrificing his inner world, Jiang Ming’s head exploded as well.

Although his whole body was smashed into pieces, there was still a ray of divine soul that was left of him as it quickly escaped to a distance and avoided from the effect of the destructive power.

As all the smoke dissipated, Jiang Ming also recovered himself.

“Victorious!”

He couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

However, he couldn’t help but shudder when he recalled the battle just now.
