Chapter 481 - 301: The Supreme Rule_l
Despite looking utterly miserable,
he was genuinely happy.
Because he had blocked that deadly strike.
Although he knew that the golden finger was affected by some inexplicable power, being weakened layer by layer and slowed down, allowing Shi Lei and others to have enough time to attack,
it was still so powerful that it despaired anyone who witnessed it.
Yet, such a finger was blocked by him.
At this moment, Jiang Ming’s body shuddered as an unparalleled power surged from deep within, instantly healing his cracked body and even regrowing his shattered arm at a remarkable speed.
However, he paid it no mind, instead focusing ahead.
From the stiff, unmoving finger came a sigh.
Alas…
It seemed to express a helplessness towards the unknown powers.
Following that, the finger shattered, turning into billions of golden lights scattering in the sky. Jiang Ming moved slightly, but he did not try to capture them; if any will remained, it would be a great trouble.
“Impossible, it simply can’t be!” Bai Yuguang saw this scene, displaying an extremely incredulous look, “How could you possibly block it? It’s absolutely impossible.”
“Nothing is impossible!” Jiang Ming looked up, gazing into the endless sky, spontaneously remarking, “The Grand Tao is heartless, yet utterly fair, and it gives all beings a sliver of vitality. Under the supreme rules, even Divine Spirits must obey, just like what happened just now!”
“Bai Yuguang, the confrontation today should not have occurred. You walk your Broad Road, and I cross my own Wooden Bridge. Yet, it was your arrogant heart that almost caused this world to collapse.”
“You too shall eventually reap what you sow!”
“The cycle of cause and effect is infallible!”
“Come to me!”
Jiang Ming reached out his hand and grabbed, an immeasurable majestic force directly restrained Bai Yuguang, the Divine Child, preventing him from resisting.
Because at this moment within Jiang Ming, the fusion power had not yet dissipated.
The strength that burst out, though trivial under the golden finger, was already an irresistible force against Bai Yuguang.
“You can’t kill me, you can’t, I am the Son of God, of noble status…”
Bai Yuguang’s screeching voice hadn’t completely faded when his body suddenly collapsed, turning into a surge of energy flowing towards Jiang Ming.
Jiang Ming swallowed it down and closed his eyes.
He was using his Divine Skills to comb through the other’s memories, peering into the secrets of the God Realm. To his disappointment, the other’s memories of the God Realm were utterly empty.
“The final trick of the golden finger? Severing my understanding of him? Is it caution, or a routine method?”
Jiang Ming had no way of knowing, but he wasn’t disappointed either.
As for the owner of the golden finger?
If he couldn’t be killed this time, then there would be even less chance in the future.
At this moment, from all over Heaven and Earth, countless powerful beings who were peeking were shocked and then looked at Jiang Ming with fear.
It was true fear.
Resisting a blow that could have killed a God was one thing, but the key was the appalling phenomenon caused by the golden finger’s appearance, which seemed too much for the entire world to bear.
Time froze. Even beings of the Twelfth Realm felt an impending sense of doom.
That feeling of powerlessness, like ants, made them nearly go mad, yet, even so, it was firmly blocked and smashed by Jiang Ming.
At the same time, it further strengthened their resolve to become gods through proving the Tao.
Only by proving the Tao, only by stepping out, can one avoid being an ant. Jiang Ming opened his eyes just to see Shi Lei and the others approaching. He couldn’t help but smile: “I made a name for myself early on, but none of you came. Seeing that I was about to be doomed, you all came to meet death together. Tsk tsk tsk, I’m so moved I almost feel like crying.” “Crying?” Ye Bai’s eyes lit up, he rubbed his hands together and took out a jade bottle, “Old Jiang, start crying quickly, I’ll catch it and keep it as a family heirloom.”
Everyone couldn’t help but burst into hearty laughter.
Having gone through a life-and-death struggle, their camaraderie had deepened even more.
Subsequently, they all returned to Qingyun Prefecture City.
As for the Master? He had already left earlier.
At the top of the City Lord Mansion, a feast was laid out.
Divine Light rose, and auspicious colors shone in myriad ways.
In the midst of clinking cups and ladles, they recounted the past.
Their experiences were largely similar, with the initial ten years of trial, most choosing to fight and temper themselves. They grew in competition and advanced through battles.
Especially Fang Qinghan and Chen Bei, their constitutions were special, and having swallowed many of the powerful, they had stepped into the Twelfth Realm early on.
Unbelievably powerful.
Even facing Shi Lei, they wouldn’t necessarily lose.
Yi Tianyan chose the path of willpower trials, with no dramatic ups and downs, he reached the peak directly, which also led to a surge in his realm, and now he actually also stepped into the Twelfth Realm.
Soul, Mind, and Martial Art, the three systems of the Twelfth Realm. One could say they accumulated quietly and then burst forth, far beyond everyone’s imagination.
“Brother Jiang, what realm exactly does the owner of the golden finger belong to?” Wang Qiutong finally couldn’t help asking.
Everyone turned to look.
“The Divine Realm is divided into Lower God, Middle God, Upper God, and Heavenly God, what comes afterwards, I do not know,” Jiang Ming put down his cup and said, “The one who struck me is a Heavenly God. A transdimensional attack obviously requires a medium, and moreover, there seems to be supreme rules of the unknown restricting, not allowing the unrivaled power from beyond to interfere with the human world. Otherwise, I would have certainly been killed. To be honest, I cannot imagine that Divine Spirits could really traverse the Cosmos or dimensions to launch an attack. Their power is too strong.”
“Heavenly God!” Wang Qiutong was shocked, “Just for the Divine Child, they actually deigned to lower themselves to attack, don’t they suffer backlash?
This was another answer he wanted to know.
Jiang Ming looked toward Hong Ling, who had followed along and had been sitting quietly in the distance, listening. At this moment, seeing him beckoning, she appeared somewhat uneasy but still walked over.
“Would there be backlash from a transdimensional attack?” Jiang Ming inquired.
“There should be, I guess, but I don’t know the specifics, after all, I’m not even a Divine Spirit,” Hong Ling laughed with a hint of ingratiating herself.
She felt a mix of awe and nervousness toward him.
Compared to Bai Yuguang, her performance was too inadequate.
Clearly, Hong Ling was hiding something deep, fathomless.
But in the face of Jiang Ming at this moment, no matter how much she concealed, it was useless; even if all her cards were laid out, it wouldn’t change the fact that she was no match for him.
She was even more worried that Jiang Ming would settle accounts in the aftermath.
In a certain sense, she inadvertently provided some significant misguidance. Jiang Ming didn’t dwell on this issue but asked, “The Demigod belongs to the category of the Twelfth Realm, but this realm is obviously not right. Can you explain it in detail now?”
In the battle with the golden finger, Heaven and Earth trembled, and Time and Space were fettered.
He was also forced to fuse the Four Elements’ powers. In the face of a major life and death crisis, the benefits he gained far exceeded everyone’s imagination.
He also glimpsed secrets others found hard to understand.
Like the Demigod!
“So, the Demigod Realm has some hidden secrets?” Shi Lei became interested. “Miss Hong Ling, please tell us!” commanded Jun Qiuye, his aura ghostly and gaze chilling.
The others sensed the change in Jiang Ming’s expression, showing no friendly faces towards her.
Especially the Holy Heart, who had also arrived and was grinding her teeth, would have liked to grab this young woman and spank her over her knee.
Unfortunately, she was no match.
And nearly caused her own demise.
“Actually, I’ve already told you,” Hong Ling flipped her long hair and sat down next to Jiang Ming.
“A discrepancy of ten thousand times!” Jiang Ming said.
“Yes!” Hong Ling nodded, “As I mentioned that day, the Divinity a Demigod possesses, compared to a True God or even a Lower God, is a difference of ten thousand times. In fact, no matter how great the gap, one can still achieve godhood. However, there is only one True God in the world, and that’s because…”
She pointed upwards.
