Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The scene was silent.

There was pin drop silence.

Everyone present felt a huge pressure from Qi Ming. Although this pressure was invisible, it was real. This was an invisible force that pressed down on everyone, causing them to involuntarily hold their breaths.

“Black Flame, come back.” Qi Ming said.

“Yes, Master.”

Roar!

Black light flashed.

Black Flame roared. Its body shrunk and returned to Qi Ming’s side. With a white flash, Black Flame disappeared into thin air. Qi Ming put Black Flame into the spirit pet slot and activated it.

To everyone, Qi Ming put the spirit pet into the spirit pet space.

“Qi Ming, come and fight!”

“Come and fight!”

“Your spirit pet has already lost. What other excuse can you have? Come on!”

The three legacy disciples of the body tempering lineage were completely angered by Qi Ming’s words. They were originally quite happy after winning against Black Flame, but Qi Ming’s words almost broke their defense. They immediately roared at Qi Ming.

“Okay.” Qi Ming smiled. “I’ll grant your wish.”

Swish!

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Ming jumped up and entered the battle like an immortal. He floated to the four-sided arena and looked at the three legacy disciples of the Body Tempering lineage whose injuries were not light.

“Should I give you some time to recover?” Qi Ming reminded kindly.

“No need.”

“No need.”

“Qi Ming, let me see what you can do.”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The three legacy disciples of the body tempering lineage did not stand on ceremony at all. They erupted with their strongest methods and attacked Qi Ming from three directions.

Boom! Boom!

The powerful force even caused the air to explode.

Boom!

There was a loud sound.

Qi Ming did not dodge the attacks of the three legacy disciples of the body tempering lineage, nor did he retreat, nor did he use any spell divine powers.

Qi Ming raised his hand and threw a punch.

It contained extremely terrifying power.

This was the eruption of the Battle Sacred Body’s strength.

“Ah!!!”

There was a loud sound.

Accompanied by three miserable cries, Qi Ming defeated the three legacy disciples of the Body Tempering lineage with a punch. The three of them were sent flying at an even faster speed.

Screams sounded.

Crack! Crack!

In fact…

Their arms were broken.

Pew!!!

They spat out blood.

All of them flew out of the arena and rolled on the ground in pain.

One punch.

It was just a punch.

The three legacy disciples of the late-stage Leaving Aperture realm body tempering lineage were defeated. Although they were injured in the battle with Black Flame, they were still at the late-stage Leaving Aperture realm.

Most importantly…

Qi Ming did not use any other divine powers. Instead, like the legacy disciples of the Body Tempering lineage, he defeated them head-on in terms of the strength of their bodies.

He had defeated them in their field of expertise.

“This… this…”

“One punch!”

“Qi Ming defeated three legacy disciples of the late-stage Leaving Aperture realm body tempering lineage with a single punch.”

“So powerful!”

“As expected.”

“Qi Ming could nurture a spirit pet to such a terrifying extent. His strength must have reached an extremely powerful level. As expected, I’m not wrong.”

“…”

Everyone could not help but praise.

After the matter developed to this extent, the legacy disciples of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain had already begun to think that the shocking phenomenon that had been created back then was very likely because of Qi Ming.

Although everyone was angry, they had to agree that Qi Ming was indeed very strong.

This was indeed the truth.

Qi Ming had set up the arena now, so it was impossible for them to not accept the challenge.

Gongyang Zhige walked steadily towards Qi Ming from a corner of the four-sided arena, “I didn’t expect you to have such deep attainments in the Dao of Body Tempering.”

“Not bad.”

Qi Ming shrugged. “I don’t know what happened either. My body has already become invincible for no reason. Body Tempering is actually quite simple.”

“You…” Gongyang Zhige frowned.

“Huff…”

Gongyang Zhige took a deep breath and said in a low voice, “The Dao of Body Tempering is broad and profound. When cultivated to a profound realm, you can become an immortal or a saint.”

“You don’t have reverence for the Dao of Body Tempering. You’re bound to not be able to go far.”

“Perhaps.” Qi Ming said.

“Forget it.” Gongyang Zhige said, “Today, I’ll let you know the power of the Body Tempering lineage. I’ll let you experience and understand the profundity of the Body Tempering Dao and let you understand what reverence is.”

Boom!

As soon as he finished speaking, Gongyang Zhige took a step forward and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot. The four-sided arena shook violently from his step, and his sandbag-sized fist suddenly enlarged in front of Qi Ming.

Boom!

In an instant, Qi Ming raised his hand and grabbed Gongyang Zhige’s fist with his right hand. His fist and palm collided, producing an explosion, but Qi Ming did not move at all.

“Is this your power?”

Qi Ming looked into Gongyang Zhige’s eyes and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. A cold smile appeared, “That’s too disappointing!”

Boom!

Qi Ming clenched his left hand into a fist. The power of the Battle Sacred Body had actually been unleashed. On the surface of Qi Ming’s body, there was a faint golden light. This punch struck straight at Gongyang Zhige’s abdomen.

Boom!

There was a loud sound.

Gongyang Zhige raised his left foot and used the knee of his left foot to block Qi Ming’s punch.

“Hahaha…”

Gongyang Zhige’s eyes shone and his fighting spirit rose. From head to toe, a bronze luster circulated, “Qi Ming, you really exceeded my expectations.”

“Ancient Martial God Fist Force!”

Bang bang bang!!!

Gongyang Zhige roared. The muscles on his entire body swelled up. In an extremely short period of time, he threw out more than a hundred punches. Every punch contained a powerful force.

“Battle Martial Technique.”

Boom!

Qi Ming faced Gongyang Zhige head-on. The two sides faced each other head-on. Fist to flesh, it was not a battle of spells and divine arts, but a battle of incomparably powerful bodies.

Every punch and every move landed on solid ground.

In the blink of an eye, the entire four-sided arena was filled with the figures of Qi Ming and Gongyang Zhige. Every time they fought, powerful strength and force spread, causing the surrounding space to tremble slightly.

“So… so powerful…”

“Is this the terrifying aspect of body refinement cultivators? Their bodies are peerless and comparable to treasures. They temper their entire bodies to the point of being like treasures, and it’s sufficient to tear apart a mountain and crush treasures with their bare hands.”

“Too shocking, too shocking.”

“Qi Ming’s attainment in the path of body tempering has actually reached this level. He’s clearly only at the early-stage Nascent Soul realm. He’s clearly only at the early-stage Nascent Soul realm!”

“Most importantly, Senior Brother Gongyang’s cultivation level is already at the early-stage Soul Formation realm. He’s two realms higher than Qi Ming!”

“This is too terrifying.”

“Qi Ming’s strength is too strong. He’s simply a miracle…”

“Therefore, that shocking phenomenon back then was actually caused by Qi Ming breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm.”

“This is true.”

“Qi Ming was not playing to the gallery.”

“It’s all true!”

Everyone was shocked.

At this moment, Qi Ming’s powerful strength convinced everyone.

At the top of the four-sided arena, clouds and fog surrounded him.

Several Grand Elders had already appeared. They were attracted by the situation here, especially after knowing that Qi Ming had descended the stage and wanted to challenge all the legacy disciples of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain.

The Grand Elders also wanted to know how powerful Qi Ming was. After all, the phenomenon created by Qi Ming’s breakthrough was too shocking.

It was unprecedented.

“Daoist Martial Saint.”

Patriarch Wei He looked at the battle on the square stage and was surprised by Qi Ming’s powerful body. He looked at Daoist Martial Saint beside him, “Who do you think will win between Gongyang Zhige and Qi Ming?”

“Qi Ming.” Daoist Martial Saint replied. He was a thin old man, was only 1.5 meters tall and was like a dwarf. His body was even skin and bones, like an old man who was about to die.

This was a sign that the Daoist Martial Saint had cultivated his body refinement to the peak. He had restrained all his vital qi and blood to the limit, so in the eyes of outsiders, he was thin like a match.

However…

If Daoist Martial Saint erupted, he would instantly reach the peak and possess extremely terrifying combat strength.

“Oh.” Daoist Purple Firmament raised his brows, “Martial Saint, you actually don’t believe in the legacy disciple of your Body Tempering lineage. This is not your style.”

“Are you blind or do you think I am blind?”

Daoist Martial Saint glared at them and berated, “From the beginning to the end, Qi Ming did not use any divine powers or spells in the battle. He only used his pure physical strength to fight Gongyang Zhige. I don’t see any high attainment in body refinement on Qi Ming. He’s only a layman in the path of body refinement.”

“However…”

“He actually forcefully fought Gongyang Zhige to this extent.”

“Under such circumstances, who do you think will win this battle?!”

“Huff…”

Patriarch Wei He took a deep breath. His gaze was deep as he looked at Qi Ming on the four-sided arena, “This is truly an extremely terrifying talent!”

“As expected of a monster who can cause such a phenomenon.” Daoist Purple Firmament said.

Boom!

There was a loud sound.

Qi Ming became more and more courageous as he fought. His development of the Battle Sacred Body became more and more advanced. He gradually grasped the power of the Battle Sacred Body, and his Battle Will seemed to be boiling.

Instead, it was Gongyang Zhige.

His aura was exhausted again and again.

It gradually declined.

Boom!

“Battle Divine Fist!” Qi Ming shouted loudly. He took a step forward and grabbed the opportunity. He crashed into Gongyang Zhige’s arms like a mountain and cried out in surprise as he protected his chest with his hands.

Boom!

Gongyang Zhige was sent flying.

Then, Qi Ming threw out his fists. The force surged as the golden battle light gathered and fused into this punch, directly striking Gongyang Zhige’s body.

“Ah!!”

Gongyang Zhige let out a miserable cry as he spat out blood. One of his ribs was broken, and his entire body flew out of the four-sided arena and fell to the ground.

He half lay on the ground and could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

“Huff…”

Qi Ming landed and slowly stopped.. His gaze was calm as he looked straight at Gongyang Zhige, “You lost.”
