Chapter 728 The Unknown Passage!
Come on!
Undeterred, Jiang Wang braced himself on the ground, his body tensing slightly to further enhance the defensive capabilities of his Qilin body. His tone was laced with provocation, "I'd like to see what your so-called 'Way of Strength' is all about! Don't just keep slapping me; give me something new, or I'm getting bored to death!" The human ceased his words, flashing to appear before Jiang Wang in an instant. He simultaneously slammed both fists towards Jiang Wang's head, the combined power of which had reached 1.95 billion, even more ferocious than his previous strike. The wind howled, carrying earth-shattering force. As he pounded, he coldly shouted, "Since you find it boring, then I'll send you to your death, so you'll never be bored again!"
Jiang Wang remained unmoved, letting the fists slam into his head. Another deafening roar followed, and immense force instantly coursed through his body. Jiang Wang was sent flying once more, this time a full 120 million miles, crashing into another section of the Secret Realm Tower. A large section of the wall collapsed, piling up rubble that completely buried Jiang Wang's figure.
The human stood still, his gaze fixed on the pile of rubble, his tone filled with certainty: "This time, no matter how strong your physical body is, you will definitely be seriously injured. Let's see how arrogant you are then!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a commotion came from the pile of rubble. Then, Jiang Wang emerged from it, shaking his head as if to absorb the impact of his attack. He then shook off the rubble, took a step forward, and continued walking towards the teleportation array, laughing as he went. "Oh dear," he said, "your fists are a bit stronger than your palm strike, but still not enough! I'm completely unharmed. What do you suggest?" The human's expression changed drastically. He stared intently at Jiang Wang, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief, his voice trembling. "How is this possible? How could this be? What kind of monster are you? How can your body be so strong? Even a top-tier innate spiritual treasure from the primordial era might not be able to withstand my full-force attack, and you're completely unharmed!"
"monster?"
Jiang Wang scoffed, his tone tinged with displeasure, "You're the monster! I'm a genius of the Qilin Clan, how could I be a monster? I think it's your limited knowledge that's the problem; you've never seen such a powerful physique before, have you?"
"Short-sighted?" The human took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the shock in his heart, and said in an icy tone, "I have traveled through all the realms of the primordial world and seen countless powerful bodies. Even the bodies of dragons may not be able to compare with yours. Your body is completely contrary to common sense. You are definitely not an ordinary Qilin!"
"When did I ever say I was an ordinary Qilin?"
Jiang Wang tilted his head, feigning innocence, and said, "I already said, I am a genius of the Qilin clan, one in a hundred years. My physical body has been baptized by the Great Dao, so naturally it is different from ordinary Qilin! By the way, you haven't answered my question yet. What race are you? Why do you have an innate Dao body?" The human's eyes flickered, as if hesitating about something. After a long silence, he slowly spoke, his tone carrying a hint of complexity: "What race I am is none of your business. You only need to know that I am stronger than you. If I want to, even if I can't kill you, I can trap you here and make sure you can never leave the Secret Realm Tower!"
"Are you trapping me here?"
Jiang Wang laughed loudly, his tone full of disdain, "You? You can't even hurt me, yet you want to trap me? Let me tell you, if I want to leave, even this secret realm tower can't trap me! However, I don't want to leave. I just want to know the answer. If you answer my question, I will leave on my own. How about it?"
"Impossible!" the human said resolutely, without the slightest hesitation. "I will not answer any of your questions. Either kill me, or I will kill you. There is no third way!"
Jiang Wang's tone turned serious, a cold glint flashing in his Qilin beast eyes. Although he didn't want to reveal his other abilities and only wanted to rely on his physical strength to pass through the Secret Realm Tower, the human before him was far too stubborn, refusing to divulge any information. He could only reveal a little of his strength to force the other party to speak, "Since you refuse to answer, then I'll have to force you to tell me! Do you think I'll just passively take a beating?" The human's eyes narrowed, his tone wary: "What do you want to do? Do you have any other abilities?"
"you guess?"
Jiang Wang smiled, his tone laced with mystery. He pushed off the ground with all four hooves, instantly charging towards the human. His speed was incredible; he arrived before the human in a flash. The Qilin head lowered slightly, and it rammed its forehead into the human's chest, shouting, "I'll teach you to answer me! I'll teach you to be stubborn!" The human, clearly surprised by Jiang Wang's attack, looked astonished. He quickly raised his hand to defend, gathering his Primordial Chaos Power in his chest to try and block Jiang Wang's impact, while coldly yelling, "You ungrateful wretch! You dare attack me first? See how I deal with you!"
With a loud "bang," Jiang Wang's forehead slammed into the human's chest. The immense force instantly sent the human flying tens of millions of miles away, crashing heavily to the ground and carving a deep trench tens of thousands of miles long. A trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, clearly indicating that he was injured.
Jiang Wang stood there, shaking his forehead, a hint of smugness in his voice: "How about that? Now you know how powerful I am, right? I'm not some pushover who just takes a beating passively. When I get angry, even I'm afraid of myself!" The human climbed out of the ditch, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with anger and resentment. He stared intently at Jiang Wang, his voice icy: "You dare hurt me? Fine, very well! I didn't want to use my full strength, but you forced me! Today, even if I have to fight with all my might, I'll severely injure you!"
"Oh?"
Jiang Wang raised an eyebrow, his tone laced with provocation, "Go all out? I'd like to see what you can do to me even if you go all out! Come on, I'll keep you company to the end!" The human took a deep breath, his primordial energy surging wildly. This time, his primordial energy actually exceeded two billion, reaching two billion thirty million. The space around him began to distort violently, even showing countless tiny spatial cracks. His body swelled slightly, his muscle lines becoming more defined, and he exuded an aura of world-destroying power. While activating his primordial energy, he coldly shouted, "The Way of Power, Ultimate Power, Break!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the human's figure flashed, instantly appearing before Jiang Wang. His hands coalesced into a massive palm print, brimming with dense primordial energy and carrying the power to tear apart heaven and earth. He slammed it towards Jiang Wang; this was his full-force attack, his strongest strike. He firmly believed that this attack would shatter Jiang Wang's physical body and severely injure him. Jiang Wang sensed the power of this palm strike, his expression becoming more serious. However, he still didn't choose to dodge, nor did he use any other abilities. He simply pushed the defensive power of his Qilin body to its limit, his four hooves firmly planted on the ground, his body slightly tense, his tone resolute: "Well done! Let me see just how powerful your full-force attack really is!"
"boom--!"
The giant hand slammed down on Jiang Wang, and this time the force was more immense than ever before. Jiang Wang's body was instantly sent flying, traveling a full 150 million miles before crashing into the very top of the Secret Realm Tower. The Secret Realm Tower shook violently, and countless huge cracks appeared on its surface, as if it were about to collapse at any moment. Jiang Wang's figure was buried in the rubble at the top of the tower, and remained motionless for a long time.
The human stood there, panting heavily, a look of exhaustion on his face. That palm strike had almost exhausted all the primordial energy in his body. He stared at the pile of rubble at the top of the tower, his tone filled with certainty: "This time, you will definitely not be able to emerge unscathed. Even if you don't die, you will definitely be seriously injured. Let's see how arrogant you are then!"
Just then, a commotion came from the pile of rubble at the top of the tower. Immediately afterwards, Jiang Wang emerged from the rubble. Finally, a mark appeared on his body. Several of the Qilin's mane were broken, and there was a small wound on his skin. Although the wound was very shallow and almost negligible, it was the first time he had been injured.
Jiang Wang looked down at the wounds on his body, a hint of surprise flashing in his Qilin beast eyes, followed by a smile: "Not bad, not bad, you finally managed to hurt me. Your full-force attack is indeed quite something! However, that's all. These wounds are nothing to me!"
As he spoke, Jiang Wang shook his body, and his wounds instantly healed. His broken mane grew back, quickly returning to normal, as if the injuries had never occurred. He took off walking, step by step, towards the teleportation array at the top of the tower, saying as he went, "It seems you don't have any stronger abilities. In that case, I won't play with you anymore. I'll go up to the teleportation array and see if anything changes in three breaths!" The human was shocked to see Jiang Wang's wounds heal instantly. He stared intently at Jiang Wang, his tone filled with disbelief: "Healing ability? You actually have such a powerful healing ability? This is impossible! How can your physical body be so strong, and your healing ability so powerful? What exactly are you?"
"I've already said that I'm a once-in-a-century genius of the Qilin clan. Is it strange that I have this much ability?"
Jiang Wang smiled, a hint of smugness in his voice. "Alright, I don't want to waste any more words with you. I'm going to walk onto the teleportation array. If you still want to stop me, then go ahead, I'll gladly oblige!" The human's eyes flickered as he watched Jiang Wang walk step by step towards the teleportation array. A trace of hesitation appeared on his face. He knew that he had exhausted all the Primordial Chaos Power within him and could not possibly stop Jiang Wang. Even if he did, he wouldn't be able to harm Jiang Wang in the slightest; on the contrary, he might be severely injured by Jiang Wang. He remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking, his tone filled with complex emotions: "Are you really going to walk onto the teleportation array? Do you know what you'll encounter after you step onto it?"
Jiang Wang paused, turning to look at the human. His Qilin beast eyes were full of curiosity: "Oh? You're finally willing to talk to me? Tell me, what will you encounter after stepping onto the teleportation array? Also, what race are you, and why were you imprisoned in this secret realm tower? What exactly is this tower?" The human took a deep breath, his tone tinged with helplessness: "I can't tell you what race I am, nor can I tell you what this tower is. I can only tell you that after stepping onto the teleportation array, you will enter the next level of the secret realm tower. The guardian of the next level is stronger than me, and the rules of the next level are also stricter than this level. Even if your physical body is strong, you may not be able to pass through."
"The next level? The tower defender is stronger than you?"
Jiang Wang's eyes lit up, his tone filled with excitement, "Interesting, getting more and more interesting! The stronger the opponent, the more I like them! But since you know so much, why don't you tell me more? For example, how many floors does this secret realm tower have? What is the cultivation level of the guardians on each floor? Also, are there any other unknown passages between the Primordial Realm and the Auspicious Realm?"
"No comment!" The human's tone remained resolute. "This is the most I can tell you. The rest is for you to explore! Also, let me remind you, the guardians of the next level are not skilled in the Way of Strength, but in the Way of Law. No matter how strong your physical body is, you may not be able to escape unscathed from the divine power of a Law Saint. You'd better be careful!"
"A Saint of Laws?"
Jiang Wang raised an eyebrow, his tone tinged with disdain, "So what if I'm a Law Saint? Even with the supernatural powers of a Law Saint, I might not be able to harm you in the slightest! I want to see just how capable the guardian of the next level is!"
Without further hesitation, Jiang Wang turned and walked towards the teleportation array. His four hooves landed firmly on it, and the array instantly lit up with a dazzling light, enveloping Jiang Wang's figure. He turned to look at the human and shouted, "Oh, right, I forgot to tell you, your mastery of strength is indeed somewhat impressive, but it's still not enough! Next time we meet, I'll definitely force you to reveal all your secrets!" The human watched Jiang Wang being enveloped by the teleportation array's light, his eyes filled with complex emotions—resentment, helplessness, and a barely perceptible expectation. He murmured softly, "I hope you can get through. Only you might be able to unlock the secrets of this secret tower, and only you might be able to help me leave this place..."
Jiang Wang did not hear the human's mutterings. He only felt that he was enveloped by a warm light, and his body seemed to be traveling rapidly. The surrounding space was constantly distorting, and he heard the whistling wind in his ears. Before long, the light dissipated, and Jiang Wang's figure appeared in another level of the secret tower.
This level of the secret realm tower is even more spacious than the previous one. The surrounding stone walls are dark black, covered with densely packed runes. The runes flicker with a faint light and exude a rich aura of law. The air is filled with a suffocating atmosphere, even more oppressive than the previous level. (End of Chapter)
