Chapter 358: Chapter 357: Sudden Change of Situation, Repelling the Eighth Realm

Gazing at the panel data, Li Jing frowns.

The rule control already shows the thunder punishment, but the thunder skill from limit breakthrough skills disappeared at the same time.

This...

Can it be understood that the thunder punishment is transformed from the thunder skill?

Closing his eyes, Li Jing immersed his mind in comprehension.

His personal strength didn’t change much.

But he has a peculiar feeling.

As he immersed his mind.

He can clearly feel that the thunder element spirit energy floating between heaven and earth is constantly approaching him.

This intimacy is unspeakable.

It feels like a courtesan clings to him, coquettishly whispering, "Come play, you can play however you want".

Having this feeling, Li Jing awkwardly opened his eyes.

He is not from this world.

Although his physiological structure is the same, he doesn’t possess the Qi sense of the people in this world.

He can distinctly feel the spirit energy released by man.

But the spirit energy naturally floating between heaven and earth, he could not sense.

But at this moment.

He clearly felt the spiritual energy.

Even if it is just the thunder element spiritual energy, he can at least feel it.

Li Jing is unsure of the significance of this change.

However, being able to sense the spiritual energy seems to mean that he may now try things he couldn’t try before.

For example, practicing magic...

He cannot practice various types of magic skills because he doesn’t have the Qi sense needed for Qi refining, right?

Now that he can sense the spiritual energy, it is worth a try.

Practising uprightly.

Li Jing didn’t even think about it.

He knows his own weight.

He can sit down for a few hours like ordinary cultivators do.

But if he needs to seclude himself for hardcore cultivation, he probably can’t do it.

The key is that he can’t sit long.

He is no different from Liu Sisi who has been practicing hard for months, he couldn’t do it at all.

Moreover, the efficiency of practicing honestly depends on one’s talent.

Without Qi sense, what kind of talent does he have?

Right now, he barely senses a single type of spiritual energy. Even if he adheres strictly to the entry level cultivation method and intends to practice hard, the efficiency is probably incredibly low.

The reason he wants to try the entry-level cultivation method is very simple.

Cultivation method is the foundation of all Immortal learning related practices.

Among them, Immortal learning spells are quite special.

The implementation of spells, though closely tied to the cultivation method, essentially requires the body to have sufficient spiritual energy and then fulfilled through the construction of spell formulas.

Other Immortal learning creations related to Talisman method, artifact refinement, pill refinement, etc., cannot be separated from the cultivation method.

Mainly these "production skills" must rely on the cultivation route to control.

Li Jing’s body is not devoid of a cultivation route.

But his cultivation route is for body refining. Furthermore, it is not his own mastery, but copied from the cultivation method of Zu Qiong, a monster.

Don’t mention that the cultivation of monsters is by instinct, unlike human cultivation which has technical and theoretical aspects.

Monsters themselves do not dwell in the field of Immortal learning creations.

Talisman method, they don’t know.

Artifact Refinement.

If they knew this, they wouldn’t be relying on their physical bodies to live.

Pill refining, that goes without saying.

When a good spirit medicine falls into the hands of a monster, they usually gnaw on it outright, rather than thinking about how to maximize their gain like human cultivators do.

Of course.

Monsters directly gnaw on spirit medicine mainly because they have the ability to do so.

But if it were a human cultivator.

Except for some rather special spirit medicine and spirit objects that can be eaten raw, if they eat most of the spirit objects, they won’t be able to absorb much. And they might even get food poisoning, or even explode themselves.

Human teeth and stomach cannot be compared to monsters.

Leaving aside the copied body refining cultivation route, Li Jing’s original all power operation route fundamentally cannot be considered a cultivation route, but is a naturally existing circulation method.

The fundamental reason why Li Jing has not been involved in all aspects of Immortal learning creation up to now is this.

Now, he can try.

Looking at the "Thunder Punishment" displayed in the rule control, Li Jing frowned slightly.

The two words "rule" are quite easy to understand.

In this world, he has not come into contact with information about rules.

However, judging from his experience of reading various novels before traversing, the so-called rules are akin to the power of the rules of heaven and earth.

This, it seems, he has to realize and master on his own.

Only the transcendent top powerhouses are eligible to comprehend and master it.

At present, he is obviously not up to this threshold.

At this moment, although he can clearly feel the enthusiasm of the thunder element spirit energy naturally floating between heaven and earth, he doesn’t have a practical sense of mastering some power.

However, through the changes of World Thunder Punishment and Thundering Lineage, he can be sure that.

He has mastered a very special and extremely fierce power.

It’s just that his level hasn’t reached the threshold yet, unable to get a clear perception.

In other words.

It is he who has taken control of the rule, but he doesn’t understand the principle inside.

He can use the Thunder Element Spirit Energy’s affinity towards him, but he can’t change.

Returning to the beginning, the problem of how this rule control came about.

Li Jing thinks.

The rule of thunder punishment being controlled by him is closely related to the disappearance of the thunder skill.

However, this rule is not transformed from the thunder skill, but the panel status bar unknowingly opened a hang for him, allowing him to touch the rule.

The essence of the Thunder Punishment is a passive limit breakthrough skill that is operating quietly all the time.

He has many passive limit breakthrough skills of similar nature, all of which are in operation uninterruptedly.

But only the Thunder Skill disappeared after he cast the World Thunder Punishment, and then the rule "Thunder Punishment" appeared, so it is impossible to explain anything other than the status bar hanging for him.

Making deductions in the dark, he fixed his eyes on the World Thunder Punishment in the forbidden skill column.

The status bar hanging for him is the norm.

He has always been hanging.

But the hang this time, seemingly contains many conditional factors.

The first is that he has become an administrator.

There is undoubtedly a close connection between his ability to control the rules and this.

The next is the forbidden skill.

This should be a primer.

Finally, it comes to the thunder skill.

This should be a foundation.

With a primer and a foundation, he also has the localized permissions behind the identity of an administrator, which led to his inexplicable control of the rules of thunder punishment.

After mulling over, Li Jing turned his head and planned to go to Yuncheng for a trip and talk to Fu Yao.

Although Fu Yao never said explicitly, after unknowingly controlling the rules of thunder punishment, Li Jing had basically confirmed that the woman wanted to study the Qi of the Heavenly Path in order to touch the rule.

The power of the rule.

This is something that Fu Yao, who may have reached the late stage of the Eighth Realm, still cannot touch.

But if you want to understand the rule, the simplest and fastest way is to talk to her.

Just as he was about to move, a very domineering breath suddenly seeped out from the distant rear.

Suddenly feeling this breath, Li Jing frowned and looked back.

The source of the breath was in the direction of the border of the Northern God Country.

At this point, he was already deep within the territory of the God Kingdom, hundreds of kilometers away from the border.

Yet, the released aura easily made him aware of it.

In his senses,

The intensity of this aura was approximately at the Seventh Realm level.

But being able to project the power of one’s aura over such a distance, it was obviously not something that someone at the Seventh Realm could accomplish.

The Seventh Realm of the God Church Country wouldn’t dare to rashly release their aura in the territory of the God Kingdom.

Even with hundreds of kilometers in distance as a factor, the aura’s intensity decay should be taken into account.

After such deliberation, Li Jing instantly determined that the one releasing the aura was in the Eighth Realm.

A figure from the Eighth Realm of the God Church Country had indeed appeared.

This situation was expected.

But, Li Jing didn’t expect that the Eighth Realm figure from the God Church Country would dare to openly release their aura in the God Kingdom’s territory.

It seems...

The opponent appeared quite flustered and enraged, lacking even basic composure.

So desperate to the point of openly releasing their aura, fear that the factors involved here aren’t simply for the God’s Capital that he destroyed with forbidden magic.

Predictably, the opponent might have accidentally destroyed something good...

This is a bit troublesome.

The one responsible for picking him up, the Northern God Country’s Guardian God, is alone at the border.

She definitely won’t be harmed.

Even if the Eighth Realm figure from the God Church Country became irate, they wouldn’t dare to act against her unless their mind was completely crushed.

But, facing the oppressive aura of the Eighth Realm, she will inevitably be at a disadvantage.

This...

What to do?

Li Jing hesitated.

There were two paths before him.

One was to flee immediately.

The Guardian God of the Northern God Kingdom wouldn’t be able to hold on for long.

The response from inside the God Kingdom would take time.

In the meantime, they’d have enough time to find him.

Even if the opposition had no evidence, even if he was targeted, he could plainly deny it.

However, if the opposition was adamant about taking him back, it would be hard for him not to be exposed.

The point is,

Confronting them would be equivalent to telling the God Church Country that he was the one who did it.

His appearance as someone capable of confronting the Eighth Realm in the rear of the Northern God Kingdom border is unreasonable on its own.

If he doesn’t resist and is taken back to the God Church Country, God knows what he will have to go through.

Unless, he reveals his identity in Longyu to prevent conflict with the God Church Country, but then the whole purpose of his detour would be pointless, and it would bring unnecessary trouble to Longyu.

The other path was to turn around and simply bolster the defense of the Northern God Kingdom’s Guardian God.

Quickly weighing the pros and cons, Li Jing chose the second path.

Running might not necessarily work.

A turnaround, however, could surely be managed.

After a moment of pondering, Li Jing took out an appearance-changing talisman and quickly transformed his predetermined appearance as a person of the God Church Country into a figure with golden hair and green eyes.

Then, he made a sealing sign with his hand.

The sky changed once again.

...

The border of the Northern God Kingdom.

Yuliya’s face was ashen.

In front of her,

There was a wizened old man with dark skin and a slightly plump young man and woman.

The young man and woman were the Guardian Gods of the God Church Country, Amir, and Imran.

She recognized these two.

In fact.

As the Guardian God of the Northern God Country, she had more than once encountered the two of them.

However, she had never seen the old man before.

At this moment, the old man was emitting a powerful aura of the Eighth Realm.

The higher the realm, the more obvious the difference between them becomes.

When faced with the old man, Yuliya felt extremely uncomfortable.

Although she had entered the late stages of the Seventh Realm long ago.

However, just this one realm gap is indeed a world of difference.

The other party is obviously also a veteran of the Eighth Realm, more than just a mere beginner.

Standing proud against the old man’s aura pressure, Yuliya stood tall, her face was cold and stern.

The emergence of a strong one that surpasses the level of the Guardian Gods in the God Teaching Country is not unexpected.

What is unexpected is that the party not only crossed the border of the Northern God Country but also openly released their aura to pressure her.

An Eight Realm from the God Teaching Country dared to exert aura pressure on a Guardian God of the Northern God Country.

On the one hand, there is no doubt that they are in a desperate situation, and on the other hand, they must be sure that their country will not turn its face because of this.

Yuliya knew that there was no easy solution to the matter today.

Although she’s not sure what backing the Church has that would ensure the Northern God Kingdom wouldn’t take offense, she couldn’t just give in so easily.

She.

Is the Guardian Goddess of the Northern God Kingdom.

Rooted in the land of the kingdom, she cannot retreat, and she will not retreat!

On the other side.

The old man’s face grim, he continued to pressure Yuliya with his own aura, but still kept himself from taking action.

This move, absolutely shouldn’t be made.

If he made his move, there would be no turning back.

At this moment, the only way is to force Yuliya to retreat by the gap between the Grand Realm.

Seeing Yuliya stubbornly enduring the heavy pressure of his own aura, her face gradually becoming pale but still gritting her teeth and persisting, the old man exhibited a trace of impatience in his eyes and further released his own aura.

Amir and Imran floated behind the old man, also bearing the pressure of his aura.

But since they didn’t have to bear it directly, their suffering was not as intense.

Watching the ’old acquaintance’ Yuliya in distress, both of them felt like they were having a breath of fresh air.

For many years, the God Church Country has always been suppressed by the Northern God Kingdom.

In various negotiations, the two of them, as guardians of the God’s Church country, would occasionally suffer silently, which was quite suffocating.

Now seeing Yuliya unable to utter a word in the face of their Eight Realm, the two felt extremely relieved.

"Yuliya, your persistence is pointless."

Imran said lightly.

"Today’s matter is your Northern God Country’s fault. We have ample evidence to show that it was your people from the Northern God Kingdom who crossed the border and unleashed forbidden skills on our God’s Church country’s territory."

Before her words had ended, Yuliya looked at her with disdain.

"Bullshit."

Yuliya cussed out of the blue, which instantly made Imran’s face turn pale.

Why start swearing when having a conversation?

How could such vulgar language come from the mouth of a dignified Guardian God?

As a Guardian Goddess of the God Church Country, when has Imran ever been so ’wronged’?

Even if the God Church Country has always been suppressed by the Northern God Kingdom, the conversations between the Guardian Gods were all surface harmonious.

At this moment, she could do nothing to Yuliya who was resolutely blocking the road.

No way.

Her status is at stake and cannot be trifled with.

If she made a move, that would be slapping the Northern God Country in the face.

It’s a price that the God Church Country cannot afford.

Imran is brought down a peg or two by Yuliya’s single sentence, and Amir, who was also delighting in her misfortune, began to speak calmly.

"Miss Yuliya, why are you making this so hard? We have the evidence on our side, and today, you must make way even if you don’t want to. The Northern God Country is destined to hand over the person who poisoned the people of our God Church Country for no reason. Otherwise, this matter will not be settled today..."

Before she had finished speaking, Yuliya’s lips slightly parted.

"Idiot."

Just these two simple words were enough to make veins pop in the forehead of the peace-loving Amir.

Seeing the Guardian Gods representing his home being insulted one after another, the old man snorted coldly.

"Ignorant fool!"

As his words fell, the atmospheric pressure endured by Yuliya began to rise linearly.

The pressure was so great that it made her gasp for breath.

She couldn’t withstand it anymore.

Faced with the situation, she felt extremely aggrieved.

As a Guardian God of the God Kingdom, she had never been so stifled before.

But there was nothing she could do.

Not only were there three people opposite her, but one of them was a veteran of the Eighth Realm.

If she made a move, it would not only fail to give her the upper hand, but also possibly give the other party an excuse to counterattack and potentially end up in their hands.

She could by no means accept such humiliation.

Even less can she accept that she would become the cause of the Northern God Country’s submission to others.

With her silver teeth clenched, Yuliya struggled to bear the pressure, her heart filled with regret.

Had she known it would come to this, she would have made that phone call earlier.

If that had been the case, reinforcements from the God Kingdom should have arrived by now.

Even without the Eighth Realm stepping in, she wouldn’t be the only one here bearing the pressure.

Her will, gradually blurred.

The continuous and ever-increasing atmospheric pressure began to make Yuliya’s mind somewhat vague.

It was no good...

She hoped that she had held on long enough.

Yuliya’s hovering figure swayed a bit, looked back, and was gradually losing her Sky Control ability, being forced to descend to the ground.

Just then.

The remotest rear showed a drastic change in wind and cloud, and the heavens and earth were stirred.

From afar, an extremely surging Qi rushed over.

In an instant, the atmospheric pressure exerted on Yuliya by the old man was swept away.

Yuliya, as well as the four people present, paused for a moment.

No longer under heavy pressure, Yuliya suddenly regained her Sky Control ability.

Stabilizing her figure, she turned her head back, both surprised and perplexed.

The Qi that swept from the far distance was not the Qi brought by the realm.

Instead, it was pure Blood Qi.

A surging Blood Qi beyond measure.

Blood Qi, everyone has it.

But to make the Blood Qi materialize and form an impact similar to Qi of strength, only someone who had great achievement in Body Cultivation could achieve that.

This...

Was it her own Eighth Realm intervening?

How far along on the side path of Immortal Path must a person go to possess such vigorous Blood Qi, enough to disperse the atmospheric pressure of another Eighth Realm person?

Who is it?

Feeling the surging Blood Qi rushing forward, Yuliya was elated.

The Eighth Realm, no matter which country, is always quite mysterious.

Even as a Guardian God, she was only able to meet the "retired" predecessors who entered the Eighth Realm.

And such contact is established on the basis of succession between the two, otherwise, they wouldn’t meet face to face.

Yuliya was sure.

The person who came would not be her "predecessor".

Such Blood Qi was too powerful!

It seemed like the person even used a Forbidden Skill!?

Various colors flashed in Yuliya’s eyes.

The old man in the Eighth Realm also changed his expression as he met the surging Blood Qi coming from the sky.

Amir and Imran were also startled.

They knew well the style of the People of God Kingdom.

It would be alright if they hadn’t brought out the Eighth Realm.

If they really jumped out, today’s matters would take a bad turn.

The truth also proved that things began to go out of control.

The clouds gathered in the distance, which was clearly the result of the heavens and earth being stirred, someone had used a Forbidden Skill.

"Father."

Imran spoke up.

Hearing her voice, the old man frowned, turning his head to give her a cool look.

That glance caused Imran to shudder.

When Yuliya heard Imran softly calling out "Father", her eyebrows slightly lifted.

Nice!

So this old man is Imran’s father?

Now there is a clear offender to find.

While his identity was unwittingly revealed by his stupid daughter, the old man didn’t say anything because he had no time to care about that.

"Let’s go!"

Murmuring a sentence, the old man turned around.

He was going to take Imran and Amir away from the territory of the Northern God Kingdom and return to the God Church Country when suddenly, the abnormal phenomenon in the distant sky disappeared, and the surging Blood Qi thus vanished.

The sudden change made the old man pause, frowning as he turned around.

Why was there no movement all of a sudden?

Could it be that the Forbidden Skill failed and was rebounded?

This...

It couldn’t be, could it?

His Qi of strength was dispersed just by the Blood Qi. Could such a superior powerhouse fail in performing a Forbidden Skill?

Even if it failed, it wouldn’t be so soon!

It had only been more than five seconds...

Not just the old man, but Imran and Amir were also baffled.

Yuliya was simply a bit confused.

Who exactly is it in the far back?

Why not last long...

All were astounded.

Then, they sensed something at the same time and all looked up.

High in the sky, a figure, like a meteor smashing through the atmosphere, descended from the sky amid endless flames.

Its speed was so fast that it was astonishing.

The four of them just saw the figure piercing the atmosphere when it already crashed onto the earth nearby, completely shattering the surrounding mountains.

Large areas of the earth were shattered.

Yuliya almost screamed at this.

This is the border of the Northern God Kingdom!

At the sight of the person shattering the earth, the old man felt his heart skip a beat.

The dust scattered and obscured him so they all couldn’t see clearly.

But the old man’s sharp senses of an Eighth Realm powerhouse told him that he was being singled out.

No sooner had he realised this than the dust below, which had almost obscured the entire nearby area, suddenly dissipated. A silhouette broke through it at lightning speed and almost instantly closed in on the old man.

In that instant, the pupils of the old man shrunk again and again.

He saw the person.

It was a man from the God Kingdom who looked relatively weak...

There was no power Qi that could be clearly sensed over him.

There is a surge of Blood Qi, completely concealed and only detectable up close.

But this is not the main point.

The main point is.

In his hand, there is a rusty, tetanus-infected club.

Just by looking at this very ordinary club, the old man felt like he was in an icehouse.

What...

Is this?

An Immortal Item?

No, no, no!

No!

It’s something of a higher level!

Taoist Items!

The Northern God Country, has this thing that only exists in legends?

The old man is shocked.

Taoist Items, in the present world this is an item level system used.

But throughout the whole present world, there was no record of Taoist Items appearing.

Seeing the man lifting up the club in his hand, almost face to face with him, and about to swing it, the old man promptly bit his tongue and spat out a mouthful of Essence Blood.

The next instant.

His body tore through the space and disappeared.

The one with the club, naturally, is Li Jing.

Before he could swing his club, the old man disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving a Space Fissure behind, leaving Li Jing confused.

He couldn’t have guessed.

After entering the state of God’s Hidden Truth, he used all his strength to bounce out of the atmosphere and had a taste of suffocation. Like a ballistic missile falling from the sky, he ended up empty-handed.

The other party ran away, quite simply.

Couldn’t he at least take a hit from him?

Worst-case scenario, the guy is in the Eighth Realm.

A single strike won’t kill him, right?

If he could be killed, Li Jing wouldn’t dare to do so anyway.

Killing an Eighth Realm cultivator from the God Church Country would provoke a real fight from the God Church Country.

This joke is not to be made.

What should I say?

The Eighth Realm is indeed the Eighth Realm.

If he wasn’t trapped in the Subspace, he could do nothing but stare when the man used his real escapade skills.

With a whiff, Li Jing, whose body was almost completely burnt in the atmosphere, had to stop his action.

"Boom!"

In the state of God’s Hidden Truth, he, who doesn’t possess the Sky Control ability, landed on the ground, dispelling the smoke floating above the ground. He looked at Imran and Amir, who were still in the air and had yet to react, and gave them a toothy grin.

"Come down! Men on the left, women on the right, unless you two want to eat a club!"

"..."

Imran.

"..."

Amir.

Facing Li Jing’s warm face, the two looked at each other, looked at their borders, quietly landed and followed his instruction. A man to the left and a woman to the right.

They couldn’t make out the "weapon" in Li Jing’s hand.

But they weren’t blind.

Just one meeting, and their Eighth Realm got frightened and ran away.

Without even looking back, he left his daughter behind...

The man in front of them was undoubtedly not someone they could afford to mess with.

They were all too clear about how the People of God Kingdom work.

For the sake of their own lives, it was better to cooperate...

On the other side.

Yuliya looked at Li Jing with her eyebrows furrowed.

She and Li Jing never really met.

When she saw him before, he had the appearance of a person from God Church Country.

However, she remembers clearly about his height and what he was wearing.

The young man standing in front of her, with the appearance of a person from God Kingdom now, his height matched Li Jing perfectly.

The clothing on his body, almost burnt to a few pieces of cloth, she figured they were the clothes Li Jing was wearing when they met.

Having confirmed it was him, how could Yuliya not be surprised?

After witnessing Li Jing’s World Thunder Punishment, she was sure that he is an impressive Seventh Realm.

But the him standing in front of her, without exuding any Power feeling, only containing a surge of Blood Qi, gave a feeling of being unbelievably powerful.

How powerful exactly, Yuliya could not decipher.

But Imran’s father running away in fear says a lot.

A Seventh Realm, frightened away an Eighth Realm.

This...

Yuliya could see it.

The Forbidden Skill Li Jing used in the rear didn’t fail.

His current state is within the Forbidden Skill state that enhanced his body.

So the question is ...

Exactly what kind of Forbidden Skill can make a cultivator, who is not proficient in Body Cultivation, from Orthodox Immortality Path have such incredible physical strength?

And what kind of Forbidden Skill can be completed in less than five seconds?

Admittedly.

Forbidden Skills that enhance the physical body and work on The Caster themselves generally have a shorter casting time, but five seconds is just too damn outrageous.

There are Forbidden Skills that enhance the physical body and work on oneself in the Northern God Country.

In fact.

Most of their Forbidden Skills work on themselves, enhancing their close combat ability.

But in Yuliya’s impression, none are this outrageous.

While she was pondering, Li Jing glanced left and right, looking over with a wry smile.

"Well, sorry for the rush. I caused quite a bit of damage."

"..."

Yuliya.

Li Jing hadn’t said anything, but she was still in shock.

Once he said this, she immediately realized.

A large area around her has been completely destroyed.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t bring herself to blame Li Jing at this moment.

After all, he came to the rescue.

If it hadn’t been for Li Jing’s arrival, she wouldn’t have known what situation she might be facing now.

Having witnessed Li Jing’s capabilities first hand, she didn’t feel like fussing about it.

Comparatively, she was more curious about what was in Li Jing’s Forbidden Skill.

Staring at Li Jing, who was disguised as a person from God Kingdom, Yuliya hesitated for a moment and decided to cooperate with him, and she smiled sweetly and said.

"You’re joking, elder. Thanks to your efforts, I was able to save face for the God Kingdom. I am Yuliya, the current Guardian God of God Kingdom."

In response to Yuliya’s words, Li Jing smiled and nodded.

"Nice to meet you."

While speaking, he said ceremoniously.

"After all, I broke such a large piece of the Earth Realm, what I have to pay, I must pay. As a citizen of the God Kingdom, it’s our duty to abide by the laws."

As he spoke, he pointed back at Imran and Amir with his thumb.

"One of these two should be enough compensation, right?"

Hearing this, Yuliya was taken aback, then reluctantly pouted.

"Enough."
