Capítulo 115: Chapter 115: Unexpected Changes!
The figure who launched the sneak attack suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood. His body was blasted several dozen yards away by a single punch.
At this moment, his arms appeared twisted and deformed, as if the entire limb had been rendered useless. However, he had already forgotten the pain in his arm. Instead, he looked at Jiang Yun in horror, completely overwhelmed by the terrifying power emanating from Jiang Yun's punch.
What frightened him the most was Jiang Yun's incredibly strong physique, which even his lower-grade spiritual weapon couldn't penetrate. The body's toughness surpassed even that of the strongest practitioners he had ever seen.
In reality, this was only a misconception. While Jiang Yun's physique was indeed formidable, it wasn't to such an exaggerated extent. It was merely the proper application of devouring power that allowed him to achieve this. It's not surprising that someone unfamiliar with it would have this illusion.
"Why is your body so strong?!" A look of terror passed over the faces of those around, and they were just about to retreat.
After all, if even lower-grade spiritual weapons couldn't harm Jiang Yun's body, they realized that Jiang Yun and his two companions were no ordinary individuals. They must belong to some powerful sect or organization, and these people were definitely not ones they could afford to offend.
"Want to leave?" However, at the moment their bodies moved, Jiang Yun smiled coldly and punched out fiercely.
"Boom—"
Without any time to react, the man was instantly killed by Jiang Yun's punch.
"What—"
This scene caused an uproar among the remaining individuals. Jiang Yun, in the latter stage of the Transformation Sky Realm, had effortlessly killed a person of the same realm with just two punches, despite being surrounded.
What kind of monster was this!
Such strength was unheard of, even those in the Connecting Heaven Realm couldn't necessarily achieve this!
As his old comrades perished one by one before his eyes, without time for grief, Jiang Yun's ghostly figure appeared above the remaining few.
With a dispassionate smile on his handsome face, Jiang Yun raised his hand.
Boom!
Vast spiritual power surged out of Jiang Yun's body, a blend of black and white, resembling the fusion of Yin and Yang. This energy was far more refined and powerful than his previous combat energy.
The oscillating spiritual power transformed into an illusory world behind Jiang Yun. Within this world, the figure of a gigantic beast formed and then shot out as a rainbow light, transforming into an enormous divine seal.
"White Tiger Seal!" Jiang Yun's eyes were cold, and his palms formed a seal, pressing downward instantly.
"Boom—"
The gigantic white tiger roared into the sky, and divine light exploded from the seal, causing the surrounding spiritual energy to flee the area.
Those below, seeing the divine seal descending from the sky, turned pale, sensing the terrifying might of Jiang Yun's attack. They didn't dare to be careless and unleashed their full power in a collective shout, spiritual energy sweeping out from within.
Several terrifying attacks shot out directly, clashing head-on with Jiang Yun's White Tiger Seal.
Bang!
As the two forces collided, waves of energy spread out. It didn't take long for the few individuals' expressions to change drastically; the White Tiger Seal was descending rapidly, and their resistance was crumbling at an alarming rate.
Their attacks couldn't withstand the descent of the seal. In their eyes filled with despair, the divine seal fell, instantly crushing their bodies.
"Thump—"
Without any cries, upon contact, they had no power to resist and were dispersed into the air.
As Jiang Yun picked up the storage bracelets of the fallen, he turned his gaze towards the besieged leader and swiftly moved towards the three-person battle circle.
"Boom—"
A sword aura sliced through the air, narrowly missing the opponent's forehead, cutting off strands of black hair.
Though the strike didn't land, the mountain below had already been sliced in half by the impending sword aura.
Sweeping his gaze over the severed mountain, the man's forehead broke out in a cold sweat. Looking at the woman in red brocade holding a serpent-like sword, he cursed inwardly.
What a fierce woman!
"Void Severing Claw!"
A delicate shout came, and the man's face turned even more bitter. Gritting his teeth, his thunder spear glowed brilliantly as he thrust it towards Zi Yan.
"Boom—"
The spear met a slender hand reaching through the void, but he dared not be careless. The strength from this delicate hand brought him immense trouble.
"Blood Transformation Technique!"
Sensing Medusa approaching once again with her sword, the man's expression changed, a ferocious look flashing across his face. He suddenly let out a roar.
Steam surged from his body, his skin turning blood-red. Veins bulged grotesquely, and his aura soared from the initial stage of the Connecting Heaven Realm to the mid-stage.
"Die!"
With a roar, the thunder spear in his hand, wrapped in a blood-red glow, aimed at the relatively weaker Zi Yan.
"Watch out!"
Sensing the opponent's outburst of strength, Medusa's face changed drastically, rushing towards Zi Yan anxiously. At the same time, her actions didn't falter, and her nine-colored spiritual power surged, forming a nine-colored serpent shadow that shot towards the enemy's exposed back.
Despite their usual bickering, when Zi Yan faced real danger, Medusa's heart tightened, instinctively going all out to rescue her.
Zi Yan gazed at the terrifying spear shadow, her pretty face full of determination.
"Heaven Dragon Sovereign Seal!"
With a loud shout, brilliant purple light erupted from Zi Yan's body. Her blood boiled and roared, enveloping the sky with light.
Purple dragon patterns rose all over her dainty body, forming a massive purple dragon seal in the void.
Meanwhile, Zi Yan's face turned pale. Deep within her eyes, a dormant Ancient Void Dragon began to awaken. In this critical moment, her bloodline power started to deplete.
This was precisely what Qing Ming had mentioned before. Zi Yan's Ancient Void Dragon royal bloodline had not yet stabilized and was still maturing. Using overly powerful inherited combat techniques could harm her bloodline, causing instability.
Although she hadn't encountered such a situation on the Douqi Continent, it was happening here.
Aware of her condition, Zi Yan recalled Jiang Yun's words about needing a live capture. She stopped herself from dodging, forcing herself to use the inherited Heaven-grade combat skill.
Even though her Dou Qi was converting into spiritual power and, with her bloodline enhancement, she could barely manage it.
Feeling her weakening body and seeing the approaching opponent, Zi Yan let out a determined shout and prepared to strike.
"Such nonsense, do you think I care more about a live capture than you?"
At the critical moment, Jiang Yun suddenly appeared beside Zi Yan, grabbing her hand before she could strike. He channeled his life-infused Dou Qi into her, soothing her boiling bloodline.
Seeing Zi Yan's pale face, Jiang Yun felt a twinge of pain, mixed with a bit of reprimand, and a rising anger.
"Mystic Demon God Slash!"
An ancient chant echoed in everyone's ears, coming from nowhere. A purple pattern faintly emerged on Jiang Yun's forehead.
Vast soul power enveloped the scene. Ever since breaking through to the Soul Realm, Jiang Yun had been diligently cultivating. He had now naturally progressed to the mid-stage of the Soul Realm, nearing the late stage.
His soul power was terrifying, even among Dou Zuns. This immense soul power made everyone feel oppressed.
The target felt a mystical light flash before him, and his consciousness instantly plunged into darkness, his gathered power dispersing.
"Boom—"
Medusa's delayed attack finally landed. The moment the man's consciousness vanished, the nine-colored python descended, smashing him into the ground, dead beyond doubt.
Seeing the fallen enemy, Medusa recalled his strange behavior moments before. She eyed Jiang Yun with mixed feelings, seeing him scolding Zi Yan while she protested.
"I know, I know! I was wrong, I won't do it again. Please stop hitting me, Xiao Yun." Zi Yan clutched her head where Jiang Yun had knocked, looking pitifully at the stern Jiang Yun. Seeing him still serious, she hugged his arm, shaking it gently as she spoke softly, "Medusa is watching, doing this makes me lose face."
Seeing Zi Yan's tearful eyes, Jiang Yun sighed, "Just this once, don't let it happen again!"
"Mm-hmm!" Hearing Jiang Yun relent, Zi Yan happily nodded.
Turning to Medusa, Zi Yan awkwardly said, "Just now... thank you."
Medusa was slightly taken aback by the thanks but soon nodded in acknowledgment.
"Xiao Yun, what now? We didn't leave any alive!" Zi Yan asked Jiang Yun, looking at the corpses around them.
"Judging by their appearance, they should belong to an organization. If there's truly an opportunity in this world, there should be other similar groups. We will eventually encounter them," Medusa deduced after contemplating the bodies.
Nodding in agreement, Jiang Yun shared the same thought. As long as they remained in this ancient battlefield, they would eventually come across others.
With a wave of his hand, he collected the storage bracelets of the fallen, explaining to the curious Zi Yan and Medusa, "These are storage bracelets from the Great Thousand World, similar to spatial rings."
Their eyes lit up at this. They had wondered why they hadn't noticed any spatial rings, thinking perhaps the enemy was too poor to afford them. Now they understood.
Having won the battle, it was time to distribute the spoils with joy.
"Auxiliary professions are highly developed in the Great Thousand World. Besides alchemists, there are array masters, battle masters, artifact refiners, and more. Therefore, storage items are not scarce in the Great Thousand World."
After briefly introducing the diversity of auxiliary professions in the Great Thousand World to the two women, Jiang Yun began to dispel the soul imprints on the storage bracelets and examined the contents.
A moment later, Jiang Yun shook his head in disappointment. As expected, there wasn't much of value. Apart from some healing pills, he found a few spiritual techniques, but only one was at the God level, and none of them were interested in it.
There were various items, but nothing useful for the trio.
"Poor guys!" Zi Yan sneered, popping a spiritual pill into her mouth. She found the pills from the Great Thousand World to have an excellent flavor.
"These weapons are quite remarkable, though!" Medusa remarked, examining the weapons used by the enemies.
Noticing Medusa's expression, Zi Yan bit her tongue. However, recalling Medusa's earlier actions, she chose to be the bigger person and didn't find fault.
"These are spiritual weapons from the Great Thousand World," Jiang Yun explained to Medusa.
"These are spiritual weapons?" Both Medusa and Zi Yan curiously picked up and examined the weapons.
"In the Great Thousand World, spiritual weapons are ranked: Spiritual Weapons, Divine Weapons, Saints' Relics, and Supreme Saints' Relics. Each category further divides into lower, middle, upper, and supreme grades. Only the spear here is a middle-grade spiritual weapon; the rest are lower-grade," Jiang Yun educated them.
Upon learning this, both shook their heads. None of the weapons suited them. The only middle-grade spiritual weapon was lightning-attribute, incompatible with them. Their own conjured weapons were more suitable.
Setting down the spear, having learned more about the Great Thousand World's items from Jiang Yun, Zi Yan's eyes lit up. She remembered Qing Ming, an artifact spirit, and wondered about his ranking.
Curious to ask but refraining due to Medusa's presence, Zi Yan held her tongue.
After collecting their spoils, they set off again, continuing to hunt for energy cores and making their way toward the continent's center, where spiritual energy was abundant.
As time passed, they didn't encounter any more strange groups. Despite this world's fragment size, encounters remained infrequent.
During this period, the consistent hunting increased their energy cores. Jiang Yun and Zi Yan reached the peak of the Transformation Sky Realm, and Medusa regained her Connecting Heaven Realm strength.
One day, while deep within the battlefield, a terrifying noise erupted, followed by red ripples spreading out. Everyone saw the distorted space in the distance.
With time, the distorted space began tearing, revealing endless flames, an ancient and rugged presence emanating from within.
"Huh?"
"What is that?"
"Could a legacy be emerging? The rumors must be true!"
