The Great Emperor’s Authority, Bloodbath

At the borders of Tianyuan Sea, Kunpeng stopped and went to stand on top of the North Emperor Palace.

The palace has been transformed into hundreds of feet wide, emitting waves after waves of halo, covering the whole thousand miles. At the same time, star lights were led down onto the lands, seemingly turning the night into day time.

Kunpeng stood atop of it as though he was the lord of the stars.

Jiang Ming stopped outside the aperture, feeling a little inexplicably uneasy. The halberd in his hand started to turn, as the rays of light spewed out. His killing intent was slowly condensing.

“You deserve to die!” Kunpeng stared at Jiang Ming with flames burning directly in his eyes. He then looked behind Jiang Ming and sneered, “There is no imprisoning force here! I guess the suppression on me just now can only be done on the inside. Am I right?”

Although it was a question, he was extremely certain of it.

“It doesn’t matter whether you’re right or not. You are going to die today!” Jiang Ming’s voice was cold, but his feeling of anxiety was even stronger.

Just as he was about to return to the Tianyuan Realm, he discovered numerous amounts of starlight that appeared around him, surrounding him within. Amidst the twinkling of the stars, he realized he had actually returned back to the place he stood just now.

“What kind of power is this?” Jiang Ming was surprised.

He felt a Heavenly power from it. The real power of heavens, almighty as it was, suppressing anything and everything. It had total control of life and death to all beings yet giving off an illusory feeling to others.

“This is the Great Emperor’s authority!” Kunpeng raised his finger and pointed to the sky, “Heavenly Court can suppress all things, communicate with the power of the universe’s origin, hold total authority, and render all to submit to it. As the Northern Emperor of the Heavenly Court, I naturally have the corresponding power. This is the Emperor’s infinite might! I never thought that I would need to use such power to kill you. ”

He also lamented in his heart that it was a shame that he was thrown off guard. He could not do anything about it but his killing intent towards Jiang Ming became unprecedentedly strong.

“The Great Emperor’s authority?” Jiang Ming’s heartbeat rose fiercely.

He thought of the “an external force that cannot be quoted” stated in Kunpeng “status”. It must be referring to the Great Emperor’s authority.

It was blocked off by the Saint Province Dao Square when they were in Tianyuan World. However, it seemed that the power could be used here.

‘God damn it! Shouldn’t this be another way around? Damn!’ Jiang Ming felt as though he was about to vomit blood.

“Yes, it is the Great Emperor’s authority. I will kill you today, and then kill all the creatures of the land where you came from!” Kunpeng’s tone was calm, yet what he just said was something extremely brutal, “Seven-Stars Formation Array, out!”

Hummm!

The North Emperor Palace vibrated slightly under his feet, and the surrounding aperture instantly expanded, covering a million miles. Starlight filled the air, as a killer catastrophe was slowly brewing.

Jiang Ming discovered the seven figures who flew out from the palace at Kunpeng’s feet. And in a flash, they merged into the endless starlight, turned into a Seven-Stars Formation Array, and disappeared without a trace.

‘They are all of the Great Overarching Realm!’ With a glance, he locked on to the seven strong experts and their information manifested in the Human Path Record.

One of them was at the pinnacle, three in their late stage, and the other three in their middle stage of the Great Overarching Realm. They were all Kunpeng’s underlings.

‘Seven-Stars Formation Array, where seven Great Overarching experts gather together to mobilize the power of the ancient stars, coupled with the authority of the universe, so that their power can almost enter the Quasi-Sage Realm!’

Jiang Ming had an even horrible look on his face because he realized that he had underestimated Kunpeng.

He thought that with his ability to cut down geniuses who were in the pinnacle of the Great Overarching Realm in the Supreme Pagoda, he could also deal with an ordinary Quasi-Sage expert.

After all, the geniuses who were in the pinnacle of the Great Overarching Realm in the Supreme Pagoda, all possessed the power to challenge even the Quasi-Sage experts.

However, he had forgotten that there was no multiplier of strength through the Dao vessel in the Supreme Pagoda. Also, there was no Universe Authority, no help from any subordinates nor the power of array formations as support.

‘I’m still a little too arrogant after all! I thought that with the System, the Human Path Record, the Supreme Order, the Saint Province Dao Square, and the World’s Dao, I can run amok in the world without any worries. Guess I’m meeting my maker this time! No, not yet!’

Jiang Ming calmed himself down. In a blink of an eye, thousands of thoughts ran through his mind.

His surroundings were filled with the endless starry sky, which had evolved into a sea of stars. There was no sense of direction for there were only starlight in the vast open space.

Right this very moment, the starlight condensed and turned into a thousand-feet-tall silhouette that came down the place with just a single palm. It felt as though it could hold thousands of stars and destroy all things. Its intensity and ferocity truly showed its unparalleled power.

Jiang Ming’s figure swayed and turned into a 400-feet tall figure. His firm muscles and his turbulent aura made him a lot stronger. With the back of his hand, he swatted and shattered the silhouette’s palm.

Jiang Ming himself was also flung thousands of miles away from the impact. Before he could stand still and recover from the exchange, a punch appeared from behind, aiming for the back of the heart. The punch was as strong as it could even blow up the galaxy.

A ray of light exploded from Jiang Ming’s back, as he evoked the Great Millennium Technique, wanting to imprison this punch with the law of time. However, the punch merely paused for a brief moment before shattering the time and space, sending Jiang Ming tumbling back.

Immediately afterwards, a sword light appeared, with its might as if it could split even the sky.

His hair stood on end. But he still chose to put away the Quasi-Sage Mystical Arcane Halber because it was difficult to use. Therefore, it would make him suffer losses easier while confronting a far stronger enemy.

“Unlimited Killing Punch!” Jiang Ming revealed his punch technique and went to counteract the attack that appeared.

Meanwhile, he was protecting himself with the power of his inner world, guarding his sea of consciousness with the Human Path Record, and preparing to evoke the Supreme Order at any time.

Jiang Ming put down everything and prepared to fight to his heart’s content. After all, this was not the same as fighting in the Battle Tower.

He evoked the various killing techniques in his refined Infinite Killing Fist such as Sky Dawn, Ground Shattering Strike, Heaven and Earth Attack, Star Burst Strike, Shockwave Blow, Exterminate Punch, Inch Strength Thousand Punch, and etc. But he was still being suppressed and beaten down, and bloodstains were all over his body.

Fortunately for him, his physical body was strong enough, and he was guarded by his inner world, so he could still hold on for a while. However, if this went on, he would be subdued sooner or later.

As his movement changed, so did his punching techniques. Jiang Ming’s next punch created a picture of the ancient civilization where the ancestors fought against Heaven and Earth, the beasts, and the insects, struggling for their survival.

The flames of civilization were finally ignited where they went on with bloodshed and farming with their backs straightened. One step after another, they grew with their head held high in the sky and their feet planted firmly on the lands, trampling the bugs, and crushing the wild beasts. They went on to trample down on all the beings that were once a threat to their survival.

Between the cycles of images, there seemed to be thousands of figures that were from the ancients’ times up to the present. A recitation formed from the embodiment of the unyielding spiritual will of the human race constantly echoed through: A person should correspond to the strength and vigor of the Heavens to strive for progress with great fortitude and perseverance; a person should correspond to the solidness and humbleness of the Earth, improving one’s virtue to be able to accept anything and everything.

Jiang Ming’s punch portrayed an unyielding will.

Boom…

He blasted a star master that was holding a divine sword in his hand, returning him into the starry sky. That was not the real body, but the battle body deduced by the formation array, which was endless.

As long as the power of the formation array did not disappear, these battle bodies will continue to emerge.

However, this formation array seemed to be able to mobilize the power of the ancient stars and was blessed by the authority of the universe, rendering it an endless supply of power, and can almost run indefinitely.

This was also the terrifying aspect of this formation.

Jiang Ming’s boxing technique were revealed as he continued his onslaught.

This time however, they were almost evenly matched.

‘As expected of Hong Yi, the enlightened Holy Civilization Fist is really terrifying!’ Jiang Ming was amazed.

On the outside, Kunpeng was still standing on the North Emperor Palace. What looked like bright starlight in front of him was actually turned and twisted into a formation space on the inside.

“What kind of punching technique is this? It has the silhouette of the Holy Dao and is terrifyingly horrifying!” He could see the inside of the big formation, and while frowning, he shouted, “Stop playing around already! Go forth to kill him!”

“Yes, Great Emperor!” The seven voices spoke in unison.

A figure walked out from the starlight within the large formation array. It was none other than Star Master Tianquan.

He aimed at Jiang Ming’s head and slashed down on him. In that very instant, the surrounding area became stagnant in time and Jiang Ming was suffocated by the suppressive power coming from all directions.

The space was frozen solid and the power of laws had stopped its cycle.

“This blow…” Jiang Ming’s eyebrows twitched. According to the situation stated in the Human Path Record, he discovered that this phenomena was because all seven star masters had fused their power into one of them, allowing the single person to erupt with the strongest power yet.

Along with the blessing of the array formation, this technique could also divert the attacks received, and allow the person to maintain himself at his peak constantly through the constant cycle of power.

Even a Quasi-Sage expert could be grinded to death.

“I am the master of civilization!”

Jiang Ming also launched his strongest punch yet, condensing all the power of civilization together, turning it into a throne, sitting on it, and overruling all civilizations. With the punch, civilization turned into power, strong and unyielding, smashing through laws, suppressing the present, and granting him a sense of invincibility.

Even so, Jiang Ming was still blown away from the slash. A scar appeared on his fist, as fresh blood could be seen trickling down.

“If it’s a head-on confrontation, I’m not an opponent of a Quasi-Sage expert at all!” Jiang Ming frowned.

Right this very moment, Star Master Tianquan took a step forward, instantly arriving in front of him and followed up with yet another slash. The moment the sword slash was delivered, the attack cut through time and space, cutting off all the powers of law.

With another hard blow onto Jiang Ming, he was knocked back into the distance again. His arms trembled, and his qi and blood were in shambles

“One more blow, and my arm will surely be shattered!” Jiang Ming became calmer and calmer. Because he knew he couldn’t let it go on like that.

Humm…

The light from the sword slash was condensing once again, not giving him any chances to think at all.

It was also at that instant that two clones appeared next to Jiang Ming, both evoking the Space and Time Confinement technique towards the Star Master Tianquan at the same time. However, just as the luminance from the technique had just bloomed, and hadn’t even locked onto the time-space, it was shattered completely by two rays of light that appeared out of thin air. Even his clones also vanished at the same time.

“Do you think that repeating using the same special ability would still be of use?” Kunpeng’s voice reverberated, “You are indeed not an ordinary person. You’ve yet to step into the Great Overarching Realm, but still possess the capability to burst out powers comparable to a Quasi-Sage. This is just incredible!”

Jiang Ming no longer had to heart to be surprised, as a Nine Level Golden Pagoda appeared above his head, blocked off the sword luminance, but the exchange still sent him retreating again.

The sword luminance burst out, forming into a galaxy. It was apparent that Kunpeng was not giving him any chances at all.

“You old bird, do you really think you’ve got me?” Jiang Ming’s voice suddenly rang.

He turned his eyes, locked onto the sword luminance, and a bell could be seen flying out at Kunpeng’s direction.

It was the Great Overarching Dao vessel, Heaven’s Annihilation Bell given by the system.

“Detonate!”

Jiang Ming knew that this bell could not stop the sword luminance at all and hence he evoked yet another kind of special ability called the Sacrificial Artifact Judgment. The technique detonated the origins of the Heaven’s Annihilation Bell, turned it into a monstrous torrent and coupled with the ability of the Heaven’s Annihilation Bell, sweeping through all directions.

All the power of the Great Overarching Dao vessel came to a boil and exploded in an instant, emitting a terrifying power!

The power made the starry sky collapse, the sword luminance disintegrated, disrupted the great formation array, as if it was about to explode.

Star Master Tianquan who stood in front of Jiang Ming had his face turned pale, and was about to withstand the power explosion. However, when he heard the bell rang, he couldn’t help but become numb for a mere second.

Thump…

The last bell rang after the ultimate sublimation of Heaven’s Annihilation Bell, shocked the primal spirits and annihilated the souls. Even Star Master Tianquan was greatly affected at that time as his primal spirit turned dim.

It was also at this very moment that Jiang Ming’s finger pierced through the center of his forehead, completely destroying his primal spirit.

The great formation array became twisted before collapsing suddenly.

“Every one of you! Die!” Jiang Ming roared, and evoked the special ability that he had been brewing for a long while.
