Chapter 78: Paradis; A Highly Cautious Old Freak
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Darkness enveloped Jiang Ming whole, depriving him of all his senses. The air thickened, and even the spatial nodes had distorted.
Jiang Ming couldn’t use his special abilities, and he knew that he was within the “Paradis” enacted by a martial artist in the Paradis Realm. It was like a sphere or a dimension. Once one was trapped in it, it would be impossible to get out. A martial artist in the Paradis Realm only needed to manifest their Pradis to deal with a Primal Spirit martial artist, and this showed how terrifying the power of a Pardis martial artist was.
“Great Akasa Formless Sword Qi!”
Jiang Ming lifted the Sky Rending Sword and formed nine formless sword energies around him. The sword energies pierced through the dimension and ripped apart the darkness, charging toward the falling palm above him and resulting in a huge explosion.
Light returned, the air was vibrating, and all of the clouds under the moonlight were gone.
The mountain peaks surrounding him had crumbled and the earth wailed.
“I didn’t expect you to be able to control the power of space. It’s no wonder that you’re able to destroy my Paradis projection and repel my attack!” A voice echoed, followed by the figure of a man. He looked like he was in his middle age. He was wearing a blood-red robe, and his hair was long and curly, giving him a wild vibe.
There was a deep wound on his hand behind him. Blood could be seen flowing out of the wound, but it soon evaporated into the air as the wound was closing up rapidly.
“Who are you?” Jiang Ming frowned.
The Great Akasa Formless Sword Qi he performed just now was in the second stage. It could pierce through space, and the fact that he could unleash nine sword energies at once meant that he had reached perfection for this stage. It was extremely powerful, and no ordinary people could stop it. Therefore, he was kind of surprised to see that the man in front of him appeared unscathed from the attack.
Swoosh!
The Human Paths Record appeared.
Name: Ge Xiang
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Cultivation base: Paradis Realm
Background: Supreme Elder of the Yinmo Sect
Relationship: -91
Innate talent: Nine Stars
Status: After sensing that he had reached the bottleneck in his cultivation, he decided to become the guardian of Mo Lin, the Holy Son. In the meantime, although the chance was slim, he did not give up on searching for the opportunity to advance into the next realm. He was observing from the dark throughout the entire fight in Reception Peak of the Jiuyang Sect. He sighed at the sight of so many geniuses, especially Tian Ci and Zi Linglong. They were so gifted that he was envious of them. If he was as talented as them, he wouldn’t be trapped in the Paradis Realm for such a long time. He hesitated for a moment when he received Mo Lin’s plan, but he agreed to his plan eventually. He was going to prepare himself before he went to the Jiuyang Sect to take Zi Linglong away by force.
Just when he was cultivating, he noticed with shock that there was a fight going on here. He hurriedly rushed over here, but he was too late. The formation had collapsed, the mountain peaks had crumbled, and the Holy Son was dead. Fueled by his anger, he attacked Jiang Ming. However, he didn’t expect that the young man before him was able to injure him, and he nearly lost his hand. He was confident that this young man was an existence even more terrifying than Tian Ci and Zi Linglong. He never expected there would be someone like Jiang Ming in this world, and he wondered if chaos was coming since so many geniuses had emerged all of a sudden. That said, he soon felt it must be the case, and chaos was going to descend on this world when he thought that the Six Paths of the Sky Devil were going to emerge.
The corner of Jiang Ming’s lips quivered after he took a glance at his “Status.”
It seemed to him that the system was getting more and more mischievous. His status was very detailed, but there was a limited amount of useful information.
While he was going through Ge Xiang’s information, Ge Xiang harrumphed coldly. “Who am I? You killed my Holy Son, and you have the nerves to ask who am I? Tell me your name”
“Why don’t you give it a guess?” Jiang Ming said as he formed a seal with his left hand. A lightning bolt came down from the sky and struck the man with deadly precision.
It was the Nine Heavens Imperial Lightning, and he had comprehended it to the mastery stage.
He was going to have a fight with Ge Xiang to see how he could hold out against a martial artist in the Paradis Realm, as well as to have a primary assessment of his own combat power.
Rumble!
Thunder and lightning fell again.
“Hah, petty trick!” Ge Xiang harrumphed coldly. A ray of dark light shot out of his head and stopped the lightning.
In the next second, Jiang Ming summoned his sword and used the Slice the Heavens sword technique against Ge Xiang.
“You’re a disciple from the Qingyun Sect?” Ge Xiang frowned. In the next second, he appeared behind Jiang Ming and delivered a palm strike at him.
The attack was soundless and formless, but it carried with it so much force that it could crush everything in its path.
Swoosh!
As if Jiang Ming had read his movement, he took a step sideways and entered the void to avoid the attack.
“You’ve mastered the Dao of Spatial!’ Ge Xiang said, his brows twitching vigorously. “Not only can you pierce through space with your sword energy, but you know how to teleport as well. None of your peers can be better than you, but unfortunately, your opponent today is me. Kingdom of Darkness, descend!”
Ge Xiang’s killing intent rose after he learned what kind of Dao had Jiang Ming mastered. He figured that he had to kill him here today. Otherwise, he would become a threat to him in the future.
In the next instant, the entire area was covered in complete darkness, followed by an immense pressure that could crush the people within.
Jiang Ming had already prepared for this. In the next second, an intense light that was brighter than the moon and whiter than the sun emitted from him.
It was the perfect counter for Ge Xiang’s Kingdom of Darkness, which consisted of nothing but pure darkness. Not only that, but he even had invoked the light power of order.
“What? You’ve mastered the Dao of Light as well!?” Ge Xiang exclaimed
His Kingdom of Darkness was shattered by the light. Fortunately, this was his Paradis projection. The power of his attack surged and fought back the light with a flick of his mind.
“I can’t let someone like you exist in this world! I have to kill you here today!” Ge Xiang hissed. “Darkness Stream!”
Rumble!
The power of darkness came from the surroundings and swarmed over Jiang Ming like a tidal wave. It even distorted the Akasa, and the spatial nodes were disappearing.
Jiang Ming sighed inwardly.
The power of light he released just now was just a rendition of the Dao of Light. He did not know any special light ability, so he couldn’t unleash the true power of light.
When he sensed that the spatial nodes were disappearing, he knew it was time for him to get serious.
“Great Akasa Steps!
“Great Akasa Formless Sword Qi!
“Great Akasa Divine Hand!”
Slaloming in the darkness through the spatial networks, Jiang Ming covered the sky with his left hand and formed sword energies with his right hand as he unleashed all of his special abilities one after another.
“Darkness Vanish!”
Ge Xiang disappeared and completely merged into the darkness to avoid Jiang Ming’s attack.
“Shadow clone!”
Soon, Ge Xiang’s clones appeared in the darkness and charged at Jiang Ming.
Jiang Ming took a step forward and emitted light into the surroundings, forming it into sword energies and cutting down anyone who came near him.
However, in the next second, he suddenly felt a force on his body.
He turned around and noticed that there were three mirrors around him. All of them emitted a ghastly light on him, and he felt as if he had fallen into a swarm. He could barely take a step forward, let alone performing any teleport techniques or moving along the spatial nodes.
The air thickened, and the pressure was getting stronger and stronger.
“Come on!” Jiang Ming was on the verge of crying, “Three low-grade Dao Vessels, and all of them are supporting types that can restrict my movements!”
“Although you’re younger than me, I treat you as my equal. If I don’t kill you today, you will come and kill me one day. Thus, I have to go all out and kill you!” Ge Xiang said faintly, “Once I cast my Paradis projection, I can easily kill a Primal Spirit martial artist. However, not only does that not affect you, but you nearly shattered it with your Dao of Light! This is something I refuse to accept! I don’t know how many trump cards you still have on your body, but I must destroy you today to save me from worries!”
A sword appeared in his hand. The sword was sharp, and Jiang Ming felt a chill down his spine just by looking at it.
It was even stronger than the Sky Rending Sword.
“Crap! It’s a high-grade Dao Sword!” Jiang Ming cursed, “You really are the most cautious being I’ve ever come across.. I’m younger than you, and you should fight me with your special abilities. You shouldn’t use your Paradis projection and high-grade Dao Vessels right off the bat just to kill me! D*mn it! You’re even more cautious than me!”
