Honestly, he did not have any confidence in defeating Kunpeng.
After all, he was a Quasi-Sage as well as a divine beast from the legend. He had no idea how strong he was at all.
That being said, Jiang Ming felt he should be able to hold him off after he had evolved his inner world to the small chiliocosm final stage.
In the meantime, Jiang Ming also noticed something. He felt that, regardless of improving the origin of the inner world or comprehending the Golden Immortal Law, it was getting harder and harder toward the later stage.
Especially the law. He could comprehend 1/3 of it in the first 10,000 years, but the next two thirds took a whole 100,000 years.
“The good thing is that the result is pretty satisfactory!”
Jiang Ming’s cultivation had reached its limit, and he had mastered most of his special abilities.
Not only that, but he also had refined the three Quasi-Sage weapons such as Mystical Arcane Halberd, Nine Level Golden Pagoda, and Eye of Doom, and he could use them with practised ease.
He had done all the preparation, and he even had prepared for the worst case scenario.
“I wonder what the flesh of a Kunpeng tastes like?”
Jiang Ming thought of Beiming Hai. He was Kunpeng as well, but unfortunately, he had been crushed into smithereens by his junior sister.
“Let’s destroy his soul!” Jiang Ming said to his junior sister as he pointed at Beiming Hai, who was still wailing.
“Are you sure about that?” Linglong asked, “If we keep his soul, we might be able to stall Kunpeng for some time. However, if we destroy his son’s soul, considering his cultivation level as a Quasi-Sage, he will be able to pinpoint our location and come here straight away.”
“Just do it!” Jiang Ming said, “Today is a good day to end both him and his father’s reign once and for all!”
“Alright then!’ Linglong flicked her finger. A streak of sword light flew out of her finger and decimated Beiming Hai’s soul.
In the deluge of time and space.
Kunpeng, who was heading toward the Infinite Realms Battlefield, was stunned. His face sank, and an immense power erupted from his body.
“I can’t believe that they have the nerves to destroy my son’s soul! D*mn it! Unforgivable!” Kunpeng’s eyes turned bloodshot. “I should be the one to destroy and consume him. How dare they kill my son. How dare they steal my food! I don’t care who they are, I’m going to kill them all!”
He picked up his speed and headed beeline toward the Infinite Realms Battlefield.
On top of a mountain in the Infinite Realms Battlefield, there was an old man sitting in a lotus position. He looked toward the Tianyuan Sea with a worried expression etching on his face.
After that, he lifted his head and looked into the depths of time and space, the worried expression on his face grew deeper.
He rose to his feet and took a step forward. Just when the thing in front of him started to twist out of shape, he hesitated and stopped.
“Perhaps this is a good opportunity!”
The old man sat back down and closed his eyes.
In the Heavenly Court of the Heavenly Realm.
The Great Heavenly Venerate was still sitting on his throne, looking over the universe like what he had done for the past several billions of years.
There was a mirror hovering in front of him, showing everything that was happening in the Tianyuan Realm, or otherwise known as the Eastern Region in the past. It was just that he couldn’t see everything that was happening.
“Why are there so many secrets in such a tiny human world? Not to mention that it’s on the verge of destruction,” the Great Heavenly Venerate said, “I can’t see everything through my mirror at all.”
“What? How is that possible?” Star Lord Taibai exclaimed. When he saw the mist over the Tianyuan Realm on the mirror in front of the Great Heavenly Venerate, he thought he did not want to peer further.
Little did he expect that it was because the Great Heavenly Venerate couldn’t see through it, but how was that possible?
The World Monitoring Mirror could see through everything across the universe. It could even break through some of the formations laid out by some big clans, so how was there any possibility it couldn’t peer through a normal human world.
Star Lord Taibai did not know why but he suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
“Your majesty, could it be that he got his inheritance there?” Star Lord Taibai asked as he pointed.
“I guess so. Otherwise, I couldn’t figure out other reasons why I can’t peer through the world with the World Monitoring Mirror!” The Great Heavenly Venerate Said, “Kunpeng has already left Northern Emperor Palace and is heading toward the Infinite Realms Battlefield. If I’m not mistaken, his son should’ve been killed.”
“Seriously? That boy really has killed his son!” Star Lord Taibai frowned. “How bold! The Black Emperor is going to be mad. However, Your Majesty, there is one thing I don’t understand. Considering the Black Emperor’s cultivation level, he should’ve worked toward Saint Dao. Why would he give birth to a son, and help him in his cultivation? Also, as far as I know about him, he could’ve guided Beiming Hai toward a right, but he did not. Instead, he doted on him and turned Beiming Hai into an arrogant young man. What is he up to?”
“Even you also can’t figure it out?” The Great Heavenly Venerate smiled.
“I’ve given it a thought, but I dared not to think too much about it,’ Star Lord Taibai said. “Your Majesty, is he… Is he really going to do that?”
“The Black Emperor had sustained a serious inner injury once, and he hasn’t been able to recover from it since then. Therefore, he came up with an idea,” the Great Heavenly Venerate said, “He’s going to use his son to heal his injury. The reason he doted on him so much is that he wanted his son to grow up as soon as possible so that he could consume him when the time comes. He can deceive other people, but he can never deceive me. He’s also a Great Monarch from ancient times, and he’s notorious for his heartlessness and cruelty. He’s willing to do anything if it could benefit him.”
“How cruel!” Star Lord Taibai exclaimed, “Your Majesty, will that person be able to hold him off?”
“Does it matter?” The Great Heavenly Venerate, “It’s the best if he can kill the Black Emperor. After all, the Black Emperor has been a nuisance to the Heavenly Court for a long while. However, if he can’t get rid of the Black Emperor, it’s fine as well as we’ll be able to take a glimpse of the identity of the person behind him.”
Star Lord Taibai lowered his head.
“If he could stop the Black Emperor, then we…” he mumbled. An idea surfaced in his head as a bad feeling stirred his head.
Chuyang Peak.
Jiang Ming looked into the distance and he noticed that there were another two beneficiaries from the Lord God who hadn’t gotten into the Tianyuan Realm yet. Both of them were extremely powerful, and he wondered if they had sensed something so they decided not to come first.
There were three beneficiaries from the Reincarnation Hall who hadn’t entered the Tianyuan Realm too.
“Interesting!” Jiang Ming said.
He turned around and looked toward the Fifth Immortal Moon.
She was in the process of breaking through, and she had become a lot more powerful than when she was here.
The sun was getting low. The sky was dyed red and it looked rather eerie.
The day was about to end, and most of the experts in the Infinite Realms Battlefield felt uneasy. They had a feeling that something bad was about to happen.
“Here he comes!”
Jiang Ming grabbed his junior sister and looked into the sky.
“He is here?” Linglong frowned. “Senior brother, let me test him out first!”
“Do you have a death wish?” Jiang Ming said, “Just stay here. Remember, stay away from this battle. If not, I’ll punish you when I get back later.”
“Alright,” Linglong replied with a pout.
She understood that she was just going to drag Jiang Ming down if she joined the fight.
“If I can’t defeat him, take everyone with you into the Mountain River Map and go to the land of inheritance,” Jiang Ming said, “Then, you need to wait for at least a year before coming back!”
“Senior brother…” Linglong’s expression changed.
Jiang Ming grabbed her into his arms and landed a kiss on her forehead. “This is the worst possible plan. Even if I can’t defeat him, I have a way to escape, so you don’t have to worry about me.”
“Alright!” Linglong nodded.
At this moment, she blamed herself for being too weak. Her senior brother was going to fight against someone so strong, yet she couldn’t help him at all.
‘I have to work harder and try to get into the Great Overarching Realm as soon as possible after this. If not, I won’t sleep with my senior brother in the same room!’
Boom!
Suddenly, a terrifying power emerged from the sky, causing everything on the land to cower in fear.
Afterward, a man of a great stature and wearing a black robe appeared. His eyes were sharp as he looked at Jiang Ming and Linglong on Chuyang Peak.
“You’re the one who killed my son, right?” Kunpeng asked, his voice booming.
He was asking the question to Jiang Ming. After all, even though Linglong was powerful, she was just a Taiyi Golden Immortal. She might be able to fight on par with Beiming Hai, but she would never be able to kill him.
However, he couldn’t see through Jiang Ming’s cultivation level.
“That’s right!” Jiang Ming replied.
He patted his junior sister’s arm and stepped out of the mountain.
There was no way he could run away from this fight.
“Why do you want to kill him?” Kunpeng asked.
“He wanted to kill me, so of course, I have to kill him back,” Jiang Ming replied.
“What a good reason!” Kunpeng said, his voice cold. “Then you shouldn’t have any problem if I kill you today, right?”
“Of course!’ Jiang Ming replied as he summoned a halberd into his hand.
It was the Mystical Arcane Halberd, a Quasi-Sage Weapon, and it was forged by the Black Emperor himself.
Kunpeng squinted his eyes and asked, “Where is my son’s body?”
“I’ve crushed it!” Jiang Ming replied without any hesitation, “Since you have asked so many questions, may I ask you a few questions?”
“Of course, you can,’ Kunpeng laughed, but his smile did not reach his eyes.
