10,000 Years In A Cultivation Sect: I Obtained A Powerful Technique From The Start Novel - Chapter 216

Chapter 216: 2,400, Jiang Ming’s True Strength

They started their fight after they had finished their conversation.

However…

Jiang Ming defeated Jun Sanqian in a single punch.

It was not because Jun Sanqian was too weak. It was because he was too powerful.

He came across Jun Sanqian for the rest of the stages until the ninth stage. Even though he was still in the Heavenly Immortal Realm, his overall combat prowess was much stronger than when he was in the first stage.

Right now, Jiang Ming was able to defeat an ordinary Mystical Immortal, so he made quick work of Jun Sanqian as well.

The second battle tower proved to be little to no challenge to Jiang Ming at all.

Very soon, he had arrived at the ninth stage of the third battle tower. He was still going up against Jun Sanqian, but the latter was in the Mystical Realm right now.

“I can fight against a normal Taiyi expert, but I can’t kill them,” Jun Sanqian said as he looked at Jiang Ming.

Apparently, he could tell Jiang Ming a lot of things. As for the exact reason, Jiang Ming couldn’t figure it out himself, so he decided not to say anything and listen to what Jun Sanqian had to say.

“If you could kill me, it means you’re in the Heavenly Immortal Realm and you have the ability to slay a Taiyi Golden Realm!” Jun Sanqian smiled, “Honestly, I think it shouldn’t be a problem for you.”

“Well, never try, never know. Let’s go!” Jiang Ming said.

“Come at me!” Jun Sanqian replied and threw himself at Jiang Ming.

He activated his special ability, causing his attack power to soar to a shocking degree. However, he was still no match for Jiang Ming and got destroyed by him.

Jiang Ming came to the fourth battle tower. This time, he was going to fight against a peak Golden Immortal.

Although all of them were in the same realm from stage one to stage nine, their combat prowess was completely different.

On the ninth stage.

“At my current level, I have the chance of taking down a Great Overarching expert,” Jun Sanqian said, grinning from ear to ear, “If you could kill me, then I’ll consider you the strongest!”

“I’ve killed you so many times!” Jiang Ming said after he heard what Jun Sanqian had said.

Jun Sanqian’s smile froze. He shook his head and said helplessly, “That’s because you’re too powerful! Honestly, I didn’t expect you would come to this step. You truly are amazing!

“Alright then. I’ll tell you something that you shouldn’t be knowing at your current level. You will only be eligible to join the chat room after you pass two battle towers consecutively. In the case where you wish to become the group admin, you will need to clear three battle towers without stopping.

“However, if there are two people who have the same qualification to become the group admin, then the person who has cleared more stages will be chosen to be the group admin, so you need to work harder!” Jun Sanqian said.

Looking at him, Jiang Ming did not know why but he felt that the space around Jun Sanqian began to warp. His figure began to become blurry, and it seemed as if he was an illusory figure instead of a real person.

“I didn’t know about such a rule,” Jiang Ming replied, “So am I qualified to become the group admin?”

“There is one person who has already cleared 35 stages in the group. If you can’t clear this stage, you won’t be able to become the group admin.”

“What? There is actually someone who has cleared 35 stages in the group?”

“Of course, there is. Do you think you’re the only one who could do it?”

“Well, I’m just a bit surprised,” Jiang Ming replied.

After all, those who had reached this stage had the power of a Heavenly Immortal and could spar toe-to-toe with an ordinary Great Overarching.

“Oh yeah!” Jiang Ming remembered something and asked, “How about the Heavenly Ladder? Do we not have to go through the test of the Heavenly Ladder after joining the group?”

“You haven’t realized it, have you? Most of the battles in the battle tower are mind attacks, so your willpower has been put to test as well while you’re going through the battle tower,” Jun Sanqian explained, “The Heavenly Ladder is just a place for you to discipline your mind and train your willpower as well as for you to earn more points.”

“I see.”

Jiang Ming finally saw the light. After they had finished speaking, he did not say anything anymore and charged at Jun Sanqian.

He summoned three clones around him and activated the Worldly Projection in an attempt to overwhelm Jun Sanqian.

“Time and Space Confinement!”

One of the clones cast a time and space attack, freezing the space and time around Jun Sanqian.

The fusion between time and space was a powerful attack, but Jiang Ming knew that it was only a matter of time before his opponent broke himself free.

“Great Malediction Technique: Weaken!”

At the same time, the second clone unleashed his attack. He threw a malediction technique by combining the Karma Dao and the power of fate at Jun Sanqian. This technique wouldn’t kill the opponent. However, it could weaken his attack and make him more susceptible to their attacks.

“Great Cage Technique!”

The third clone cast a skill to restrain Jun Sanqian.

Three clones activated all their attacks at the same time, forcing Jun Sanqian to emerge from his illusion. That being said, it only took Jun Sanqian a single wave of his hand to break himself free from the confinement.

Even though he had freed himself from the layers of confinement techniques, he was still a tad too late.

“Return of Infinite Law Finger!”

Jiang Ming unleashed his final attack.

A myriad of laws merged into a streak of light and pierced through Jun Sanqian’s forehead.

“Not again?!” Jun Sanqian did not go easy on Jiang Ming, but he still couldn’t make it in time to dodge his final attack.

A burst of light erupted from his forehead. Those were symbols, and they all formed into a chain made of Dao.

At the same time, many other symbols were emerging from his muscles, bones, and blood. They all merged into one and charged toward Jiang Ming.

For a moment, a storm of massive destructive power swept through the area, and Jun Sanqian’s head was crushed.

Jiang Ming was not in a good shape either. He was knocked back by the storm. His fingers were crushed and streaks of blood were jutting out of his arms.

“Did I do it?” His eyes glowed.

Just when Jiang Ming squinted his eyes to look through the storm ahead of him, a light dot appeared and a voice rang out in his head.

“That skill of yours is still as powerful as always. It nearly destroyed my soul, but luckily, part of my soul managed to survive the attack. Right now, I should give you the last blow. Soul Strike!”

“Haha, do you really think I would let down my guard before I confirm that I’ve defeated you?” Jiang Ming said. Then, he opened his mouth, firing a fireball at the attack to intercept it.

After a short while, the battlefield began to quiet down. A voice rang out above him, “Congratulations Jiang Ming on clearing the fourth battle tower. Do you want to proceed to the next tower?”

“Yes!” No sooner had he given his answer then the wounds on his body started to heal.

In the next second, his figure vanished and when he appeared again, he was already at the first stage of the fifth battle tower.

The first watcher of the fifth battle stage was a Taiyi expert, and without any doubt, it was Jun Sanqian again.

He gave Jiang Ming a thumbs up and said, “Way to go, brother!”

“I don’t think I can defeat you this time,” Jiang Ming said, smiling bitterly, “If it were other people, maybe I can still give it a try. However, you already know everything I can do, so I doubt I can defeat you this time.”

The reason he could defeat Jun Sanqian during the last match was because he caught Jun Sanqian first by tossing many attacks on him, but right now, not only had Jun Sanqian become a lot stronger than the last match, but he was in the Taiyi Realm, which was a realm ahead of Jiang Ming.

“It would be the same if it were other people,” Jun Sanqian laughed, “The battle tower will record every move that you use and pass the knowledge to the opponent in the next stage. It’s just that I didn’t expect you to manage to form three clones during our last match. Not only that, but your Return of Infinite Law Finger had amassed 1,800 laws in it, further enhancing its already incredible power. You have a massive amount of immortal origin, so you’re capable of unleashing a terrifying power by forming many clones. This is a very effective move, but if you don’t have anything else up your sleeves, you won’t be able to clear this stage this time.”

“Don’t worry. I’m sure you’ll be surprised!” Jiang Ming laughed, “Can I ask you a question? If I die here, will I and my inner world recover when I leave?”

“Of course!”

“Great! Here I come then!” Jiang Ming said and formed 24 clones around him, exhausting half of the origin force of his inner world.

The clones attacked Jun Sanqian at the same time, but their attacks did nothing to him.

“Judging from your current strength, it would be as easy as a pie for you to defeat a Great Overarching Golden Immortal from your world. However, you need more than that to defeat me!” Jun Sanqian said and slashed through five clones.

In the blink of an eye, countless sword energies appeared around Jiang Ming, cutting down his clones one by one.

“Really?” Jiang Ming chuckled, “I’ve already finished preparing my ultimate move. Do you think you can take it?”

“Are you going to use the Return of Infinite Law Finger on me again? You can definitely injure me with that skill, but it won’t kill me!” Jun Sanqian replied.

“Well, never try, never know!” Jiang Ming shouted, “Inner world, heed my command! Welcome your destruction and help me in taking down my enemy!”

Rumble!

His inner world began to crumble away.

“Boil, my blood! Crumble away, my bones!” Jiang Ming chanted, “I’ve already amassed 2,400 Daos together and this is my limit. If you can take this attack, then I guess here is where I’ll stop. Return of Infinite Law Finger!”

Jiang Ming thrust his finger ahead, piercing through the Akasa and charging straight at Jun Sanqian’s Primal Spirit.

This attack was his strongest attack. His inner world was on the verge of destruction, and before Jun Sanqian could do anything, the attack shot right through his forehead.

However, Jun Sanqian’s sword had bifurcated him as well.

“It seems that I’ve underestimated you, but I wonder if you can take this attack of mine before I die or not?”
