I'm a body cultivator, so it's normal for me to destroy a star with one punch, right?

This powerful figure, who called himself a "god," was tall and muscular, standing over 20 meters tall!

Normal humans seem like tiny specks in front of him!

Even one of his hands was bigger than a river!

But that was just now!
At this moment, Jiang He unleashed his full power, using his physical supernatural abilities [Law of Heaven and Earth] and [Three Heads and Six Arms], rapidly increasing his height to over 4,600 feet. He looked down at the "god" expert, sneered, and stepped down!

One of his toes was bigger than that powerful god!
Rumble!
The stomp caused the air to explode and the space to tremble. The god-level expert's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly used all his skills to attack the giant foot!

However, all his holy arts and divine arts crumbled the moment they came into contact with that giant foot!
Watching that massive foot descend swiftly, carrying unparalleled power... the feeling this god had was just like when the divine mountain collapsed during that catastrophe years ago. That profound sense of powerlessness awakened his long-dormant memories!
"impossible!"

"How could such a powerful body-refining expert possibly emerge in this day and age?"

boom!
Stomp down with a big foot!

The relatively calm surface of the Weak Water suddenly shattered.

Jiang He lifted his foot and turned to look into the distance, only to see the powerful god coughing up blood, flying in mid-air, his aura much weaker. He stared intently at Jiang He and said in a deep voice, "Damn it... You lowly humans, not only did you awaken me prematurely, but you even dared to force me to use my divine secret techniques... I will remember this grudge!"

"Ouch?"

Jiang He sneered, "You dare to talk tough?"

Although the powerful god was severely injured by Jiang He's kick and his aura had plummeted, he remained fearless and coldly said, "You, a mere body-refining brute, do you have the ability to cross the Weak Water to deal with me? In this Weak Water, I can stay or leave as I please!"

indeed!

He is currently in the middle of a weak river.

It is hundreds of miles away from the river.

Jiang He smiled coldly, flipped his hand and took out the "Sky Dome Sunset Bow", nocked an arrow, and poured his powerful blood energy into the bow and arrow, making the arrow covered with a layer of scorching blood flames!
"Ok?"

The powerful god's pupils contracted sharply, and he exclaimed, "The Celestial Sunset Divine Bow? How did this arrow end up in your hands?"

Whoosh!
He suddenly turned around and transformed into a beam of divine light, disappearing into the distance!

"Want to run?"

Jiang He tightened his grip slightly and then suddenly pulled back the bowstring...

pat!

The bowstring snapped, and the bow itself broke in two.

"........."

The powerful god had vanished without a trace, while Ji Wufa, in the distance, couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.

Hey!
Jiang He cursed under his breath, saying, "This damn bow... it always fails at the crucial moment!"

The "Sky Dome Sunset Bow" was given to Jiang He by an elder named "Rong Fang" from the Heavenly Saint Palace when he was weak. This bow was made in imitation of the "Sky Dome Sunset Divine Bow" of "Houyi". It was merely a Dao weapon. With Jiang He's current physique and strength, it was normal for him to break the bowstring and the bow itself.

Unfortunately.

That damned god-race powerhouse got away.

Jiang He suspected that he might be an "Emperor-level" being who had just awakened and whose strength was only that of a top-tier three-star Great Sage.

"There is a strange spatial force above the Weak Water that prevents me from flying... Otherwise, I would definitely smash him to death today."

Jiang He withdrew his gaze in disappointment, then withdrew his physical powers and his body rapidly shrank.

Ji Wufeng flew over and said, "Brother Jiang, I never expected your power to have reached such a level... I'm afraid even the legendary Great Sage is no more than this!"

Ji Wufa had never personally witnessed the power of the Great Sage.

However, he could see that the power of Jianghe's ultimate burst far exceeded that of the Saint Realm!
Jiang He shook his head and said, "My strength is still too weak... Last time I fought four Ghost Clan Great Saints and I couldn't annihilate them all. I estimate that my current maximum explosive power is only equivalent to a Seven-Star or Eight-Star Great Saint, and at most comparable to a Nine-Star Great Saint."

"........."

Ji Wufa paused for a moment, then said, "This... a four-star Great Sage is already a legendary figure, rarely seen in the myriad realms. As for a five-star Great Sage, I have seen a description of him in an ancient book... a five-star Great Sage who wields five Great Daos and can rival a weaker Great Emperor!"

"As for six-star, seven-star, eight-star, or even nine-star Great Sages, do they really exist in this world?"

"If something exists, it must have a reason. Since someone uses this level to classify the cultivation realm of the Great Sage, it must have existed before."

Jiang He tossed the "Sunset Bow" to Ji Wufa and asked, "Can you repair this thing?"

"The Celestial Sunset Bow is modeled after Hou Yi's Celestial Sunset Divine Bow."

Ji Wu took the weapon in his hand and examined it for a few moments before commenting, "The materials are quite good, but the craftsmanship is very rough... If these materials were given to the Weapon Sect to refine, they could definitely be used to forge a top-grade Dao weapon."

He looked at Jiang He and said, "Brother Jiang, I only have a slight understanding of weapon crafting. I can repair it, but restoring it to its original state would be quite difficult."

"That's it."

Jiang He put the "Sunset Bow" into his storage ring and said, "In that case, let's go back to the Weaponry Sect and find someone to repair it... Let's go, let's set off."

The fog surrounding the drug crisis has yet to dissipate.

The White Horse Temple still stands tall in the Weak Water.

Unlike before, the Buddha light at Baima Temple was brighter... This could be because the ghost spirits had stopped attacking, or it could be because Xu Rulai had taken control of the temple's magic array.

Ji Wu followed behind Jiang He and, seeing how much Jiang He cherished even a broken Dao weapon, asked curiously, "With Brother Jiang's current status, ordinary holy weapons would hardly catch your eye, yet you value a mid-grade Dao weapon so much... Could it be that this Dao weapon has extraordinary significance for you, Brother Jiang?"

"Ah."

Jiang He nodded.

Ji couldn't bring herself to show an "I knew it" expression, and jokingly asked, "Was it a gift from someone else?"

"Ah."

Jiang He said, "This bow was given to me by one of my enemies back then."

"........."

Ji Wufa was taken aback.

This isn't what I imagined... Shouldn't it have been a gift from a beautiful woman?

He asked instinctively, "Why would your enemy give you a precious bow?"

Jiang He said, "Kill him... If I kill him, his precious bow will be mine!"

Ji Wufa: "..."

That's robbery, not a freebie!

Curious, he couldn't help but ask, "If it's an enemy's bow, what's so special about it?"

Jiang He thought for a moment and said, "Back then, I was very weak... This precious bow almost represents the beginning of my invincibility. Don't you think it's meaningful?"

"........."

Seeing that Ji Wufa's lips were twitching as if she wanted to say something, Jiang He waved his hand impatiently and said, "Alright, let's hurry up and get going, stop talking nonsense."

However, Ji Wufa hadn't been quiet for even two minutes before she exclaimed again—

"Brother Jiang, this..."

"Is this mountain a secret realm?"

He followed the river up the mountain forest along the Ruoshui River and found that the scene before him had become incredibly open. He exclaimed in shock, "What a huge secret world! It's probably hundreds of times larger than the secret world of my Wanbaolou... What kind of great power could create such a huge secret world?"

Generally speaking, the secret realms are not very large. Take the "Thirty-Six Grotto-Heavens" of the Great Xia Dynasty for example; the largest known secret realm is only a little over three thousand miles long.

However, the area where the White Horse Temple is located spans tens of thousands of kilometers.

Jiang He said, "This is not a secret realm, but rather fragments and ruins left behind after the world was destroyed."

"A remnant of the Great Cataclysm?"

Ji Wufa had obviously heard of this saying. He thought of the mountains and forests on both sides of the Weak River and exclaimed in surprise: "The Weak River runs through all the heavens and myriad worlds, its source unknown and its end unseen. The mountains and forests along its banks are countless. If these mountains and forests are all remnants left by similar world destructions, then... how many destroyed worlds must there be?"

"How do I know?"

Jiang He said irritably.

"and many more!"

Ji Wufa called out again.

Hey!
Jiang He's face turned green!

Damn it, can't you, the mighty Sword Saint and Master Ji of Wanbaolou, have any sense of propriety?
What kind of behavior is this, shouting and yelling like that?
However, Ji Wufa had already transformed into a streak of sword light and rushed out. He landed in front of an enormous canyon, his face filled with disbelief, and said, "This canyon seems to be man-made..."

He looked into the void.

Sensing the residual power fluctuations in the void, he said, "Several top experts once fought here... The residual power is so active, the time of the fight must not be too long... This area of ​​more than 10,000 square kilometers has been turned into ruins, the destructive power is truly astonishing!"

"........."

Jiang He said weakly, "I did this... Didn't I already say I fought with four Great Saints of the Ghost Clan? Alright, alright, I'm leaving now!"

Whoosh!
Before "Curious Baby Ji Wufa" could ask any more questions, Jiang He had already used his Ruyi Divine Speed ​​Technique to fly towards the White Horse Temple.

When he was about ten miles away from the White Horse Temple, a gap opened in the temple's Buddhist light, and Xu Rulai, wearing a kasaya and holding a staff, emerged from the temple with golden Buddhist light emanating from behind him, chanting a Buddhist prayer: "Amitabha... Benefactor Jiang, why have you come again?"

"how?"

Jiang He raised an eyebrow, clenching his fist so tightly it cracked, and said, "You don't welcome me?"

He thought that Xu Rulai, who had been beaten up twice by him, would behave himself.

To everyone's surprise, seeing Jiang He like this, he was not afraid at all. Instead, he laughed and said, "Benefactor Jiang He, have you ever heard of the saying 'a scholar should be treated with new eyes after three days of separation'?"

Wow!

He ripped off his robe, revealing a muscular physique covered in tattoos. With a sudden burst of strength, his muscles bulged, a burst of Buddhist light erupted behind him, and a powerful holy aura soared into the sky. He declared, "This humble monk possesses extraordinary talent. In just over a month, I have refined the golden relics passed down to me by more than a dozen patriarchs and stepped into the early stage of the Saint Realm!"

"???"

Jiang He chuckled and said, "Who gave you the audacity to be so arrogant in front of me, a mere early-stage Saint Realm cultivator?"

Boom!

The next moment, the White Horse Temple behind Xu Rulai trembled violently.

The Buddhist light that enveloped the White Horse Temple turned into a golden light and directly entered Xu Rulai's body!
His physical body was rapidly covered in a layer of gold, becoming as if it were cast from gold. His aura rose steadily, and he soon reached the mid-stage, late-stage, and peak of the Saint Realm, until he broke through to the Great Saint Realm!

Xu Rulai chanted the Buddha's name.

The White Horse Temple was shaken again.

A vast power descended and surged into his body, causing his aura, which had already reached the Great Saint Realm, to surge several times, or even ten times, again!
"Amitabha!"

Xu Rulai clasped his hands together, closed his eyes slightly, and entered a meditative state like an old monk. He said, “Benefactor Jianghe, I know your purpose in coming here… It is nothing more than the Ghost Emperor that my White Horse Temple is suppressing. To be honest, that Ghost Emperor is my opportunity. Once I reach the Great Sage realm and convert that Ghost Emperor, I will have the hope of attaining the Buddhahood of Buddhism and stepping into the Great Emperor realm!”

"Now I can activate the formation of the White Horse Temple and the power of vows left by the predecessors of the White Horse Temple to bless myself. My strength is comparable to that of a three-star Great Sage... With me here, you have absolutely no chance of stepping into the White Horse Temple."

He suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with Buddhist light, and said with a faint smile, "Considering that Benefactor Jiang and I are old friends, I will not take action... You should leave now, so as not to damage our relationship."

"........."

Jiang He was so angry he laughed.

He pointed to the tattoos on Xu Rulai's body and asked, "What kind of tattoos are these?"

Xu Rulai said, "This is the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon, representing the supreme power of the Heavenly Dragon Buddha in our Buddhist sect... Only high-ranking monks in our Buddhist sect with high cultivation and status are qualified to carry the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon in order to borrow the power of the Heavenly Dragon Buddha from the Western Paradise."

"Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon, Prajna Buddhas, World Honored Ksitigarbha, Prajna Paramita Hum?"

Jiang He muttered to himself.

Xu Rulai's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "This is a secret Buddhist term. Only a highly accomplished monk like myself could receive the teachings of the Heavenly Dragon Buddha in the dark. How do you know it?"

Jiang He did not answer the question.

Instead, it activated the Law of Force!
hum!
Jiang He had originally restrained his power, so his aura was only comparable to that of a Body Refinement Mountain and Sea Realm cultivator.

However, at this moment, the physical foundation strength of 8.1 Star Power, under the 10-fold amplification of the Law of Power, directly reached nearly 90 Star Power, equivalent to 9 million Dragon Power... The aura on his body soared, directly reaching the level of the Saint Realm limit!
A powerful aura surged forth, transforming the area around the river into a sea of ​​blood!
Wow!

The sea of ​​blood was ignited!

The sixth level of the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique was unleashed!

The power of the rivers has increased sixfold on top of the already nearly 900 million dragon powers!
He clenched his fist.

Punch.

9x Great Sage Fist!

Boom!

The space of this secret realm was directly shattered. Behind the spatial rift was a void, a dim and desolate world. Xu Rulai screamed in fright, and then...

boom!
He was sent flying backwards and crashed heavily into the White Horse Temple.

Rumble!
The entire White Horse Temple trembled violently, and dust filled the air. A series of cracking sounds came from inside the temple, which was the sound of the temple's protective formation being smashed and cracked!

The river floated in the void, yet the spatial rift still cut through its body.

puff puff!

His mid-grade holy weapon armor was quickly cut into pieces, and the power of the spatial rift cut into Jiang He's body, leaving bloody marks on his body.

"The power of space..."

Jiang He stretched out his hand, feeling the pain from the spatial rift twisting his arm, but he remained unmoved despite the terrifying suction force emanating from the spatial rift.

soon.

Space restoration.

Jiang He smiled and said, "The power of space is nothing more than this... At least this level of spatial shattering can no longer threaten me!"

"what!"

Just then, inside the White Horse Temple, Xu Rulai suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

next moment.

The Buddhist light emanating from the White Horse Temple suddenly became cloudy...

A monstrous aura of yin energy rose into the sky from the White Horse Temple.

"not good!"

Xu Rulai cried out frantically, "The great formation is cracking... The Ghost Emperor is about to break free!" (End of Chapter)
