Cultivation: I Have a Skill Level Panel

In the span of a few breaths, Gu Yun’s figure flashed like a thunderbolt. Every member of the Ancient Nether Sect in his path was obliterated by thunder, unable to offer even a shred of resistance.

Even the few Cultivators at the First and Second Layers of the True Martial Realm could not withstand a single one of his attacks.

"This!!!"

The immense gap in power and the gruesome scene sent a chill down the spines of the few remaining Ancient Nether Sect members in the stronghold.

Then, Gu Yun unleashed his True Yuan aura. It was as profound as an abyssal sea, surging outwards in all directions like a monstrous flood.

The remaining members of the Ancient Nether Sect felt as if they had been plunged into an icy abyss. They were stunned by the terrifying aura, completely frozen on the spot.

Their minds roared, every thought shattering as an endless tide of fear surged up, threatening to drown them.

’This man is too powerful. Even if Senior Brother Chen Hongwu were here, it probably wouldn’t make a difference.’

Gu Yun saw them freeze, perhaps out of shock, perhaps out of despair. But he couldn’t be bothered with any of that. He was no saint.

From the moment the war between the two Sects began, it had been a matter of life and death. There would be no sudden acts of mercy.

Then,

Gu Yun murmured, "Earth-Bursting Heaven-Shaking." An invisible, terrifying power radiated through the air like a series of tangible, surging waves, cresting one after another.

The immense power vibrated through space and swept out like a massive tsunami, slamming into the chests of the remaining Ancient Nether Sect members like a sledgehammer.

A force capable of overturning mountains and seas slammed into them. The members of the Ancient Nether Sect were sent flying backward like bullets, the powerful spatial vibrations shattering their organs and bones from the inside.

They crashed violently to the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.

In just one move,

all the surrounding members of the Ancient Nether Sect had been annihilated. Even the few True Martial Realm First Layer Cultivators among them had been utterly powerless in Gu Yun’s hands.

Like ants, they were easily crushed.

He swept his Spiritual Sense over the area to check for any who might have escaped the slaughter. His scan confirmed it: every last one of them was dead.

’To think that cultivators I once looked up to can now be suppressed with a mere flip of my hand. It’s almost laughably easy.’

Gu Yun couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.

’It’s been almost ten years since I crossed over to this world. I still remember when I was at the Third Layer of the Spiritual Martial Realm. Back then, someone at the Spiritual Martial Ninth Layer was an undisputed expert, and a True Martial Realm Cultivator was like a god.’

’Now, almost ten years later, I’ve advanced steadily, never stopping, never daring to slack off.

’When others got stuck at a bottleneck, unable to break through, eventually falling into despair and giving up...’

’...I never stopped pressing forward. The road may be long, but you’ll reach the end if you keep walking. The mountain may be high, but you’ll reach the summit if you keep climbing.’

’But reaching the summit isn’t the end. There are always higher peaks waiting to be climbed.’

’Every mountain you conquer, you rise above.’

’I may not have any powerful constitution or supreme talent...’

’...but I have a Heaven-Defying boon: Heaven Rewards Diligence. As long as you persevere, you will be rewarded.’

’I didn’t think much of it at the start of my cultivation journey, but the further I progress...’

’...the more I realize just how precious this gift from Blue Star was when I departed.’

’It’s every bit as good as the Longevity Dao Fruits, world-hopping abilities, or stat-point systems that my fellow transmigrators, authorized by the Space-Time Administration Bureau, received...’

"Profound Celestial Sect Cultivator, you’re courting death!!!"

Just as Gu Yun annihilated the surrounding members of the Ancient Nether Sect, a furious roar from Chen Hongwu echoed from nearby. It thundered across the sky, seeming to rip the very clouds asunder.

Carried by a powerful surge of True Yuan, he swept toward them at lightning speed.

The pressure of his powerful momentum was almost tangible, causing the space around him to ripple like the surface of water. His arrival was terrifyingly grand.

Chen Hongwu had only stepped away for a moment to search for something. How long had it been? Yet he returned to find all his junior brothers and sisters slaughtered before his very eyes.

Chen Hongwu’s eyes went wide, his bloodshot gaze so furious it looked as if flames would erupt from them.

"Profound Celestial Sect Cultivator, I’ll take your life!"

Chen Hongwu roared, and a terrifying aura exploded from his body. He threw a punch, unleashing a sky-blotting radiance.

In an instant, the space for hundreds of zhang around him transformed into a domain of endless, burning flames. A massive Flame Fist, hundreds of zhang wide, formed and plummeted like a meteor falling to earth.

It hurtled toward Gu Yun with a world-destroying might!

Having unleashed his attack, Chen Hongwu felt a surge of satisfaction, as if certain the Profound Celestial Sect Cultivator would be unable to resist and would be reduced to ash beneath the terrifying, giant Flame Fist.

However, in the very next moment,

a flash of saber light,

suddenly tore through the void. It was like a bolt of lightning that pierced the heavens and the earth, ripping space asunder.

An immense wave of Wind and Thunder Blade Qi, powerful enough to shake the very heavens, seemed to illuminate the entire world. It tore through layer after layer of space, slashing upward to meet the giant, meteor-like Flame Fist!

BOOM!

The incomparably sharp Blade Qi collided with the meteor-like Flame Fist.

In that instant, the terrifying force of the impact made space tremble and crack like glass, while a powerful storm swept out in all directions.

The ultimate Wind and Thunder Blade Qi intertwined with the meteor-like Flame Fist for a moment.

Then, the incomparably sharp Blade Qi sliced the Flame Fist in half. It continued on, tearing through the air, carrying a momentum as heavy as a mountain.

Like a thunderous Celestial Punishment, it ripped through space and shot toward Chen Hongwu with lightning speed.

Chen Hongwu’s expression shifted, and his fingers flew to form a hand seal.

"Celestial Spirit Fierce Water Flame!"

A majestic and heavy surge of True Yuan erupted. The space on one side of him transformed into a surging, boundless ocean tide, while the other side became an Endless Fire Domain that burned the very void.

Water and fire, two inherently incompatible elements, were actually fused together by Chen Hongwu, transforming into an incomparably tyrannical True Essence Power.

This power surged forth, an overwhelming torrent meant to suppress Gu Yun’s incomparably sharp Blade Qi that was tearing through the air toward him.

BOOM!

The terrifying Celestial Spirit Fierce Water Flame Technique annihilated Gu Yun’s Blade Qi and continued surging toward him, intent on his destruction.

Upon unleashing the Celestial Spirit Fierce Water Flame, even Chen Hongwu, whose expression had been grim just a moment ago, couldn’t help but crack a smile, as if Gu Yun’s death was now a certainty.

Just as Chen Hongwu’s thoughts began to race, for one fleeting moment, the entire world seemed to freeze solid.

Then, space rippled like the surface of a mirror. Clear waves spread out as an impossibly powerful energy signature filled the space between heaven and earth.

And in that same instant, Chen Hongwu’s faint smile twisted into a mask of pure, unadulterated terror!

CRACK!

Space itself seemed to shatter. The Celestial Spirit Fierce Water Flame, frozen mid-air, was helplessly crushed into nothingness.

A colossal palm, radiating endless golden light, appeared as if descending from beyond space itself.

Its terrifying power made the void tremble. Carrying boundless might, it surged forward like a vast, churning tsunami.

It effortlessly and completely crushed the powerful Celestial Spirit Fierce Water Flame attack!

"How could this..."

Chen Hongwu’s pupils dilated instantly, and his mouth fell open, but no sound came out, as if an invisible hand were squeezing his throat.

His heart plummeted as if sinking to the bottom of the deepest ocean, drowned in endless terror. A bone-deep chill caused his entire body to tremble violently!
