Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor:EndlessFantasy Translation

A handsome young man was standing in front of Jiang Ming. He was wearing a blue robe, and there was a warm smile tugging at the corner of his lips.

“Are you guys humans?” Jiang Ming asked.

“Of course, we are!” The man nodded. “You can assure that I’m human, but don’t ask where I come from or my past or where I’ll be going. You’re only at Level 5, yet you’re standing before me, a Level 9 martial artist.
Throughout the entire history of the Supreme Pagoda, you’re the only one who could do it, so be proud of yourself.”

Jiang Ming was shocked.

“They are real humans! But who do they serve? The person who built the Supreme Pagoda? Or are they one of the highest executives who have joined the Supreme Pagoda”
Multiple questions flitted across Jiang Ming’s head, but he did not have the answers for them.

“How about outside of the Supreme Pagoda?” Jiang Ming pressed on.

“The universe is big, a lot bigger than you could’ve imagined,” the man said.

Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows.

Although the man did not answer his question directly, he knew what he was trying to tell him.

He was not the only Level 5 martial artist outside of the Supreme Pagoda.

He was not disappointed since it was considered useful information to him.

“The universe is truly massive!’

“Come! The man shouted, “Most of the Level 9 martial artists are standing at the top across different worlds and have fully mastered some sort of ultimate power.”

“1m coming!” Jiang Ming’s face turned serious.

He activated the Physical Body Divine Astral Transformation. Then, he raised his sword and shouted, “Great Akasa Formless Sword Qi!”

Nine sword energies distorted the air and dashed toward the young man. This was by far the greatest power Jiang Ming had unleashed with this special ability. Without giving the young man a chance to take a breather, the sword in his hand disappeared, and he leaped into the air. He formed a hand seal
and summoned the Mountains Seal.

Following this, nine divine mountains appeared in the air. They formed into a formation, and all sorts of powers, such as the power of suppression, restriction, and destruction, poured down on the young man.
‘The young man looked at the nine divine mountains that hovered on top of him and said, “It’s truly impressive that you can master such a special ability although you’re just a Level 5 martial artist.”

His clothes looked rather tattered, and the blue light that wrapped around his body like a protective shield was flickering.

“Dripping water can penetrate the stone. Dripping Strike!”

‘The young man leaped into the air with his sword in his hand. The sword energy that condensed on the tip of the blade pierced through all nine divine mountains, causing the power of the Mountains Seal to collapse.

This was something within Jiang Ming’s expectations. He knew it wouldn’t be that easy to defeat an Extreme Path martial artist.

He raised his fist high and activated the Ground Shattering Strike of the Infinite Killing Punch.

‘This move was a powerful attack packed with the power that could suppress the earth and split the abyss.

“Drizzle Sword!”

‘The young man turned his sword around, and a dense blanket of water droplets appeared in the air before charging at Jiang Ming.

‘The water droplets collided with Jiang Ming’s fist, giving rise to the sound of metal clashing against each other.

Jiang Ming did not back away despite the onslaught of the young man’s attack. The water droplets rained down on his fist and left multiple white spots on the surface of his fist.

He knew very well that if he hadn’t activated the Physical Body Divine Astral Transformation and the Unlimited Killing Punch, the water droplets would have penetrated his skin and crushed his bones.

After all, he was fighting against an Extreme Path martial artist who wielded a top-grade Dao Vessel.

“What a strong body!” the young man exclaimed. He grabbed his sword, and the aura around him changed again. At the same time, he growled, “Three Thousands Vortex!”

Whoosh!

‘Waves after waves of water poured in out of thin air and transformed the entire battlefield into a world of sea. On top of the water were vortexes that spun and emitted a terrifying suction force, trying to pull Jiang Ming in with an unrelenting force.

“You don’t have a special ability that can fit your strong body. Otherwise, you might stand a chance against me,” the young man said as he shook his head. “Your power is seriously underdeveloped, so you can’t bring out the full power of your body. Even if you have a strong body, it doesn’t necessarily mean
you have to fight with your brute force. Other than an immense strength and a solid defense, you still have a vast amount of Blood Qi! Blood Qi is similar to mana, and it can be used in the same way as mana to fuel a plethora of moves and skills.

“Unfortunately, we’re in the middle of a fight, so I can’t go easy on you. If not, maybe I could teach you something useful.” The young man paused for a moment and added. “What I’m using now is just the most basic form of Water Dao. I infuse the power of Paradis projection into it, and I still haven’t
unleashed the true power of an Extreme Path martial artist.”

The corner of Jiang Ming’s lips twitched.
It seemed to him that the young man in front of him was rather talkative.

That said, he knew now was not the time to chitchat. After all, he still needed to deal with the vortexes that were trying to suck him in. He felt as if he had fallen into a swarm, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t pull himself out of it.
“Sky Drill!”

Jiang Ming gave out a violent cry. The punch triggered the power of the Akasa and blew up all the vortexes in front of him.

“I don’t believe I have no way to defeat you!” he shouted and continued to throw punches at his surroundings, crushing the vortexes around him and piercing through the ocean.

“That was a nice one, but how about this one? Can you counter it?” The young man smiled as he waved his sword. Multiple streams appeared from thin air and wrapped around the ocean.

There were vortexes in the streams as well, and they further amplified the power of the suction force.

“I told you. Your knowledge about the use of your physical body is too shallow. If not, you would be able to escape from this technique of mine easily.” The young man chuckled. “Alright, I suggest you stop resisting. It’s meaningless.”

“Really?” Jiang Ming asked.

In the next second, he vanished. Just when the young man wondered where Jiang Ming had disappeared to, he appeared behind him and sent a punch at his head.

Bam!

The young man’s head exploded, but water came out instead of blood much to Jiang Ming’s surprise.

“Is that teleportation?” The young man appeared behind Jiang Ming. “This is a very powerful move for martial artists that haven’t achieved the Paradis Realm, but for those who already have, the effect isn’t as effective. We can find where you are instantly through the Paradis projection. Not only that, but
it will also give us a chance to deliver the final blow on you!”

He was talking through his Primal Spirit, and it wafted right straight into Jiang Ming’s ears.
In the next second, the tip of his blade arrived in front of Jiang Ming.

“spiritual Arcane Light!” Jiang Ming hastily activated the defensive special ability. A light enveloped his forehead in a protective barrier, but it did nothing to stop the young man’s attack. The tip of the blade pierced through the barrier as if it was cutting through butter.
That being said, it still bought Jiang Ming enough time to escape from his imminent defeat.

‘When Jiang Ming reappeared, his forehead was filled with cold sweat. He asked, “How did you do that?”

“Tm Level 9 martial artist, and it can be translated as an Extreme Path martial artist according to your cultivation system,” the young man replied, grinning from ear to ear. “I didn’t perform the Paradis projection, but I can use its power whenever I want. No matter how fast you are, you can never be
faster than the train of thought. If you teleport, I’ll leave a water clone for you, giving you a false impression that you’ve defeated me while I tun the table to my favor.”

“How come you’re so much stronger than a Paradis martial artist?”

Although Jiang Ming had experienced the might of being an Extreme Path martial artist before, it was a borrowed power.

He did not know how to utilize the power fully, and it was only now that he realized how terrifying the power of an Extreme Path martial artist was.
It was not something that a human could fight against.

“In your cultivation system, the difference between a Level 8 and a Level 9 is as big as the sky and the earth,” the young man said patiently, “For example, I can manipulate all of the water in the surrounding. Wherever there is water, it’ll be my territory. Of course, the effect will diminish the further the
water is away from me!”

“That means in my body…” Jiang Ming’s eyes grew wide in shock.

‘The young man smiled. “Water Dao or the ability to manipulate water is just the basics of a Level 9 martial artist. It won’t be enough to defeat someone who has the same level as me, but it’s more than enough to defeat someone who is lower in level than me.”
“Water Burst!”

‘The young man lifted his sword and pointed at Jiang Ming.

Although there was no sword energy and he wasn’t unleashing any attack, Jiang Ming’s face turned pale in fear.

At that moment, he felt that his muscles, bones, organs, blood, and cells were vibrating. If it hadn’t been for his strong body, he would have been turned into a pile of water.

“Great Protection!”

He swiftly activated the strongest defensive move he had right now.

This defensive spell was developed based on the Five Elemental Defense. He had merged all of the defensive special abilities together and formed them into a powerful defensive spell, which he named Great Protection.

Multiple colors shot out of Jiang Ming’s body in the next second. It was the force of five elements. They swirled around his body and forced the unknown power in him out.

“Well, that was one nice defensive spell, but that’s all it could do,” the young man commented. “It’s useless against someone like me who has reached the pinnacle of the Extreme Path realm. I can blow you up with one Water Burst, but don’t get disheartened. It isn’t because you aren’t strong enough. You
can be considered very powerful at your level, but unfortunately, your realm is too low.”

“Thank you very much,” Jiang Ming replied. “If you had used this ability from the beginning, I would be dead, so why?”

“What’s the point of killing you? This is the Heavenly Battle Stage. You can keep coming here again and again, and eventually, you will figure out how terrifying a Level 9 martial artist is,” the young man said. “Do you want to continue the fight?”
“Of course!” replied Jiang Ming. “I will not give up until I win!”

“That’s the spirit! Let me show you the real strength of an Extreme Path martial artist, although I haven’t fully mastered the Water Law yet!” The young man said in a serious manner, “Here I come!

“3,000 Water Domain, envelop my foe and crush him!”

He waved his hand, and an ocean and vortexes appeared.

‘The suction force was so strong that Jiang Ming could barely stand straight. He tried to teleport away, but the vortexes around him did not give him a chance.

“It’s a piece of cake to counter your move after knowing your ability.” The young man’s voice wafted into Jiang Ming’s ears. “Keep this in mind. Always have one trump card up your sleeve. Here I come! Water Pump, Water Blast!”

This time, not only could Jiang Ming feel the water molecules in his body were agitated, but water was also flowing out of his orifices..
