Chapter 472: Chapter 294: Upper God_1

The appearance of Hong Ling was entirely unexpected for Jiang Ming.

His imposing aura roared mightily, pressuring all directions, intimidating the Various Heavens, and bringing about myriad anomalies in the twisted space, yet it only enveloped the surroundings.

“You really are unharmed.” Hong Ling’s eyebrows lifted slightly, “Truly worthy of someone who could withstand the Holy Dynasty’s siege. Brother Jiang, I really underestimated you. But you also want to suppress me? Hah, you think too highly of yourself, and too little of me. Behind me, there are divine spirits, countless divine spirits.”

Profound Light burst forth from her body, actually neutralizing Jiang Ming’s oppression completely, which made Jiang Ming glance sideways. With the might he had displayed, how many could withstand it?

Very few.

“Is that so?”

Jiang Ming casually waved his hand, taking the Holy Heart into his Inner World, temporarily suppressing it to prevent accidents.

His gaze became focused, and a World Projection appeared, condensing into a kilometer radius and forming a force that made all Tao retreat, establishing its own Forbidden Area.

It was as if the surrounding space had become a new Heaven and Earth.

“So strong!” Hong Ling’s body bent as clusters of Golden Light burst forth from within her, and with each collision, destructive torrents were unleashed.

A mirror also appeared above her head.

She also stirred the Power of the World into it, only then standing upright, but her complexion was extremely unsightly.

“A Divine Artifact? No wonder you are so confident. Don’t you know, not long ago I captured one,” said Jiang Ming lightly.

“I couldn’t imagine that you would be so formidable, completely beyond expectation.” Hong Ling took a deep breath, looking at Jiang Ming with intense fervor, “Brother Jiang, I take back what I said before. To dominate you would be an insult to you, you are fully qualified to be my partner. Let us join forces, then we can not only dominate this world, but in the future we could even…”

She paused.

“Multidimensional Cosmic Genius War?” Jiang Ming’s eyes narrowed, uttering a few words.

To collaborate was one thing, but the future?

To invite a Goddess to descend, the only advantage was to accumulate foundations, for what purpose? Probably something like a contest.

Then it must be the Multidimensional Cosmic Genius War that he had learned about before.

This information he had obtained before the Cosmos Genius War within the Divine Tomb.

“How do you know that?” Hong Ling said in surprise, “Those who have participated, they hardly can return to their original cosmos. And such news, you should not be privy to.”

“Many things are too deliberate, Warzone of Ten Thousand Tribes, Death Forbidden Zone, Genius War, and so on.” Jiang Ming’s expression cooled down a few degrees.

“God-splitting Skill!”

Jiang Ming suddenly made his move.

With the soul path realm of a Demigod, the overwhelming Soul Power, the heavenly-level talent of Soul Dominator, coupled with the terrifying Forbidden Law of the God-splitting Skill.

When fully activated, even Jiang Ming himself didn’t know the extent of the fearsome might it could unleash.

This attack affected the surrounding space-time greatly, and immediately afterward, the light from the God Mirror above Hong Ling’s head suddenly shone with unparalleled brilliance, then quickly dimmed, shaking violently as if it was about to fall.

Hong Ling’s complexion went deathly pale, showing a look of shock.

Power surged within her body, not ordinary Power of the World, but several levels higher, like the power contained within a Divine Artifact.

It was clearly God Power.

But it barely managed to keep the God Mirror from falling.

“Worthy of being a Goddess, worthy of being a Divine Artifact,” Jiang Ming praised, as Spirit Power surged forth; it was the Heart Sword Technique. This time, it directly penetrated the God Mirror’s defenses, causing Hong Ling to tremble, her eyes changing repeatedly.

She spat out a mouthful of blood, which turned into a burning Red Lotus, barely managing to block the attack.

“Impressive, you really are impressive,” Jiang Ming said, “You’ve actually blocked my secret skill attacks several times. Looking across the world, there are very few who can.”

“Are you mocking me?” Hong Ling gritted her teeth, her face extremely ugly.

“I’m not mocking you, I’m telling the truth,” Jiang Ming said as he took a seat, with a Dragon Throne automatically forming beneath him.

Sitting upon it, he crossed his legs at the knee.

“To be honest, you’ve disappointed me,” Jiang Ming admitted, indeed a bit disappointed, “As a daughter of God, coming down to the mortal world, you should have been above all beings, your word law, but even with a Divine Artifact, you can barely withstand my attacks. If I were a little more serious, I could suppress you.”

“You freak!” Hong Ling gritted her teeth, “Do you have any idea how terrifying your soul attacks are? I am a Demigod, a true Demigod, with a Divine Soul possessing complete Divinity. Across the Holy Dynasty of Great Qian, in terms of Divine Soul power, I can certainly be ranked in the top three. With just a thought, I could erase the powerful from the Twelfth Realm, but you?”

Her face twisted with disbelief and shock, she added, “Although your soul path cultivation is at the Demigod Realm, your Divine Soul doesn’t have complete Divinity; in this regard, you are far behind me. But the essence of your Soul Power is as strong as mine, and it even contains a Dao Resonance that makes me feel like submitting. If you’re not a reincarnation of a supreme being, then you must have fused with the Origin of some unspeakably terrifying Unparalleled Power. Furthermore, the intensity of your soul attacks is a million times— a million times— more than mine.”

“And your Spirit Power is the same!”

“Damn it!”

“Me, a mere mortal, and you, a Goddess gracing the world, are utterly suppressed by you.”

“If it weren’t for the God Mirror’s protection, I would have been suppressed— no, suppressed by you!”

She truly felt on the verge of madness.

“Now you really pose some competition to the Divine Spirits!” Hong Ling was extraordinary; she quickly subdued her own frenzy and looked at Jiang Ming again as if she were looking at a peerless beauty.

Her eyes went wide.

“Are the Divine Spirits that strong?” Jiang Ming remained unfazed.

Because he had always lived amidst others’ shock and praise and had long since grown accustomed to it.

Really accustomed to it.

“Divine Spirits represent a fundamental transformation of the nature of life, like the difference between an untrained child and someone at the Twelfth Realm, it’s more than a Heaven and Earth difference; those at the Twelfth Realm simply can’t be compared to Divine Spirits!” Hong Ling rolled her eyes at him, “To put it another way, all the Twelfth Realm beings of this world combined couldn’t withstand a palm strike from that one in the Holy City.” “That scary?” Jiang Ming was moved.

“What, are you scared?” Hong Ling snorted softly as water surged beneath her, rising up and forming a Phoenix Chair beneath her which she sat upon with a light laugh, “Brother Jiang, how about we join forces? If you and I come together, with my help and guidance, you will definitely be able to ascend to the Divine Realm, and even reach the status of an Upper God.”

“Upper God?” Jiang Ming’s eyes twinkled, “Joining forces isn’t a bad idea, but you must tell me everything you know.”

“Like what?” Hong Ling hesitated.

“The Multidimensional Cosmic Genius War, Death Forbidden Zone, Warzone of Ten Thousand Tribes, God of Death, why Divine Children and Goddesses descend, why this world has Divine Spirits, why no one in the past ages has ascended to the Divine Realm?” Jiang Ming said unabashedly, “Can you openly discuss such matters?”

“Although these secrets are hidden, they’re not unspeakable,” Hong Ling laughed, then pointed to her brow and said, “The real secrets, though, I cannot tell.”

Jiang Ming couldn’t help but laugh.

The first step to turning the tables: understand!
