Chapter 2104: Chapter 2104: What Kind of Monster Is It?

"Give it my all!"

Zhao Ping gritted his teeth, channeling his divine power wildly.

The long whip in his hand danced at high speed, and the power of the Ice River Language spell was pushed to its limits.

Even if he was to surrender, he couldn’t do so after just one move; he had to hold on for a while.

This was Zhao Ping’s thought.

Surrendering after just one move would indeed be too shameful, and he wouldn’t be able to face anyone afterward, especially at the family gathering of the Ying Family, in front of Lord Ying Zhu.

Zhao Ping soon regretted it, regretting not surrendering immediately.

Because when he cast the Ice River Language spell again, attempting to block Jing Yan’s Seven Luminaries Technique, he suddenly realized this time, the Seven Luminaries Technique he faced was different from before. It was still the Fourth Layer of the Seven Luminaries Technique, yet its power was fundamentally different, incomparable to the previous attack.

"No!" Zhao Ping screamed in panic.

Indeed, this time, Jing Yan used the power of the Ancient Tree Inheritance.

In his own Chaos World, the various top Chaos Secret Techniques mastered by Jing Yan, including the Chaos Sword, could hardly exert their power in the Immortal Domain. Even if forcibly cast, their power would reach only about one or two-tenths. There’s no helping it; the Immortal Domain and the Chaos World have their distinctions, and he currently could not alter this situation.

However, after mastering the Seven Luminaries Technique, Jing Yan found that the Ancient Tree Inheritance could greatly harmonize with it. Upon attempting, it proved feasible.

As to why the Ancient Tree Inheritance was not significantly affected, Jing Yan had his guesses. It might be because the Ancient Tree Inheritance is the innate Secret Technique granted to Ancient Tree Spirits by the Primordial Chaos Tree. And the Ancient Tree Inheritance was planted by the Thunder Emperor of the Immortal Domain. This implies that this Secret Technique stems from the Thunder Emperor. Meanwhile, the Chaos Sword and other Secret Techniques developed by Jing Yan in the Chaos World don’t quite fit in the Immortal Domain. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

The Ancient Tree Inheritance transcends even top Chaos Secret Methods; Jing Yan has grasped the Tenth Layer in the Chaos World. The Ninth Floor of the Ancient Tree Inheritance aligns with other top Chaos Secret Methods.

Currently, the Seven Luminaries Technique cast by Jing Yan was imbued with the power of the Ancient Tree Inheritance.

This strike left Zhao Ping in utter despair. In the face of the Seven Luminaries Technique enhanced by the power of the Ancient Tree Inheritance, Zhao Ping’s Ice River Language spell was not even on the same level. Instantly, it melted away like snow under a scorching sun.

"I sur..." Zhao Ping, gripped by fear deep in his Divine Soul, subconsciously called out to surrender.

However, the word "surrender" could not be voiced in time. His body had already been permeated by the power of the Seven Luminaries Technique in an instant. The terrifying heat waves incinerated his physical body into ashes in a flash.

In truth, Jing Yan heard the two words Zhao Ping had uttered and knew Zhao Ping wanted to surrender. Yet, Jing Yan did not withdraw his power.

This Zhao Ping deserved to die.

Previously, on the Battle Platform, when he was engaged with Lu Tuan in combat, even though Lu Tuan was already injured and unable to fight, Zhao Ping still wanted to kill Lu Tuan. Now, Jing Yan merely reciprocated in kind.

On the Battle Platform, ashes drifted across.

Under such formidable power, even Zhao Ping’s magic treasure, the long whip, was destroyed, leaving only some extremely resilient materials scattered on the Battle Platform.

Zhao Ping was dead.

The entire plaza fell into a deathly silence, all were stunned and terrified.

The Eldest Young Master, Second Young Master, and others were left wide-eyed, their faces pale and bodies trembling.

Terrifying.

Jing Yan’s power had surpassed what they could ever imagine, beyond their comprehension. They had never encountered such a powerful mid-stage All Things Realm cultivator like Jing Yan.

Indeed, the peak All Things Realm cultivators they knew were nowhere near as powerful as Jing Yan; they hadn’t even heard of such a thing. Those peak All Things Realm cultivators couldn’t possibly kill Zhao Ping as effortlessly. Zhao Ping’s strength was close to the Peak of All Things Realm. Previously, even Lord Ying Zhu said Zhao Ping was not far from reaching the Peak of All Things Realm.

But this cultivator was slaughtered by Jing Yan like butchering a dog. Although it took two moves, it was barely different from a close kill.

"Terrifying! So terrifying!"

"From the first time I saw him, I felt that this person couldn’t be provoked; he gave me a remarkably dangerous aura. Yet, I didn’t expect I still underestimated his strength. This man could practically rival the existence of the Nether Sky Realm now. Sixth Lady, I feel even Lord Ying Zhu might not be able to kill him," Mr. Dong murmured beside the Sixth Lady.

This Mr. Dong was a special cultivator.

The Sixth Lady nodded, "Ordinary Nether Sky Realm beings might only be similar! Yet, I still can’t comprehend why his Seven Luminaries Technique is so terrifying."

"Sixth Lady, it’s not the Seven Luminaries Technique anymore. Though it’s still manifested as the Seven Luminaries Technique, its attack power being only a small part thereof. This spell has been modified by him. I don’t know what spell he has used to modify or combine with the Seven Luminaries Technique, but it’s certainly a fearsome spell," Mr. Dong affirmed solemnly.

This Mr. Dong was truly knowledgeable.

Even the perfected Seven Luminaries Technique is on par with the top-level secret techniques in the Chaos World. However, the Ancient Tree Inheritance surpasses those secret techniques. Moreover, Jing Yan had refined the Ancient Tree Inheritance to perfection. How could the mere Fourth Layer of the Seven Luminaries Technique’s power hold a candle to Jing Yan’s mastery of the Ancient Tree Inheritance?

"You... you..."

"Jing Yan, Zhao Ping just voiced his surrender, why did you kill him?" The Second Young Master asked, his voice quivering.

He was both enraged and terrified by Jing Yan’s killing of Zhao Ping. However, he changed his tone. Previously, he had been using derogatory terms such as "little rascal," but now he called out Jing Yan’s name. Moreover, the tone of this sentence was not an interrogation, but rather a question.

Power is everything.

With immense power, no one dares to disregard you.

Jing Yan’s gaze shifted to the Second Young Master, then he coldly laughed and said, "I didn’t hear him say ’surrender,’ I only heard him utter ’I sur.’ He didn’t say ’surrender,’ so naturally, I continued to strike. Previously, that’s what he did to brother Lu Tuan, wasn’t it?"

The Second Young Master was left speechless!

Or rather, he was afraid to say certain things.

The Seventh Young Master Ying Zuo was filled with delight and excitement in his eyes.

"Wh... wh... what kind of personage have I brought under my wing? It’s like... it’s like a dream! Could such a terrifying Nether Sky Realm existence be my subordinate as a guest?" Ying Zuo felt his heart pounding in his throat.

Of course, he knew Jing Yan’s realm was mid-stage of the All Things Realm, but how was this combat power different from the Nether Sky Realm? Cultivators pursue realms, but ultimately, isn’t it for their own strength and battle power?
