Chapter 1771 - 1370–1371: Shattering Void and True Breaking Realm!
"From your martial discourse with the Outer World Expert Xiao Sanxiao, you gained insights from his explanations of ’Ten Thousand Paths’ and ’Complete Heaven Four Extremes,’ enhancing your understanding of ’Great Strength Divine Skill’ and ’Divine Demon Golden Body,’ increasing your Cultivation Points by 20,000 and Potential Points by 20,000..."
An informational prompt appeared on Jiang Dali’s interface.
Jiang Dali remained unruffled, collected his thoughts, entering a state of mind and spirit communion, his consciousness becoming increasingly focused, gradually casting aside all scenes and sounds between the wild and heaven and earth from his mind.
Stars hang over a vast plain, the moon surges as mighty rivers flow.
Heaven and earth return to silence.
The sound of wind disappears, the sound of insects vanishes...
Xiao Sanxiao let out a light ’huh,’ suddenly perceiving that Jiang Dali, clearly beside him, seemed to completely vanish from the realm, no trace of Qi mechanism remained. If not for seeing his silhouette with the eyes, he might have thought Jiang had left, causing his eyes to widen.
"This kid... what’s happening?"
At this moment, Jiang Dali’s special state was even more profound than Unity of Heaven and Man.
Because Unity of Heaven and Man means one’s own Qi mechanism merges with heaven and earth as one.
However, all things in the universe have Qi mechanism, even when united with heaven and earth, Qi mechanism still exists, which can deceive ordinary experts but can’t hide the sense of Qi mechanism from practitioners at Returning to Truth stage.
This is why, when experts in Heavenly Human Realm are in a Unity of Heaven and Man state and conceal their Qi mechanism, Jiang Dali can still accurately lock onto them.
But now, Jiang Dali’s Qi mechanism directly disappeared from this heaven and earth, as if truly nonexistent, presenting a bizarre situation that even left Xiao Sanxiao bewildered.
At this moment, in Jiang Dali’s mind, all heavenly things seemed nonexistent, only he stood under a dazzling starry sky, with boundless void beneath him and myriad stars above.
The stars above resembled a compass, unmistakably the Star Map seen in Jingyan Palace and War God Palace in the past.
Now, the Star Map seemed to come alive, rapidly rotating like a compass, as countless stars transformed, ultimately presenting dragon form, tiger stance, resembling Vermilion Bird, also like Xuanwu, the Four Symbols constellation, distributed in four directions: east, south, west, north, shining brightly.
Azure Dragon coils to the left, White Tiger fiercely guards the right, Vermilion Bird spreads its wings in front, Spirit Turtle curls its head behind!
This unmistakably corresponds to the forty-second painting in War God Chronicles—Qiankun Ding!
The so-called Qiankun Ding is where the War God proudly stands amidst heaven and earth, no matter the enemies attacking from which direction, all are detected in advance, any assault striking directly in front, even as heavens turn, the War God’s position remains unmoved, unfazed by anything.
This painting, he had fully comprehended ever since gaining the Eagle Saber from Ying Yuan, deepening understanding further, yet seldom used in combat as recent battles seldom called for such Combat Skill.
But at this moment, fortuitous timing connected with this Combat Skill’s profound meaning, realizing suddenly that Qiankun Ding had deeper utility, namely, preemptively detecting nearby enemies.
For one in his Power Realm, the nearby range indicated was fifty li.
In this moment, he held no thoughts, yet his spirit resembled an invisible detection tool, all sounds in heaven and earth vanished, grasping only two sounds.
Two objects moving swiftly in the air, producing friction sounds—carrying an indiscernible hint of murderous intent!
Two experts were rapidly approaching his location.
Without needing further contemplation, Jiang Dali knew the arrivals were Xiao Aoshi and Xiao Jingtian.
Upon deciding to bid farewell to Dongfang Bubai and seek Xiao Sanxiao, he anticipated a battle tonight, expecting encounter with these two brothers.
This was derived from reaching current prowess, attuned insights from various messages and intuitive premonitions, foreseeing some event or fortune or calamity in advance.
Such feelings aren’t guaranteed to come true, but in the vast majority of instances, these sense like an ordinary person’s intuition, often fulfilling under mysterious conditions, with much higher prediction success, a heightened sensing ability optimized by strengthened brain, spirit, etc. referred to within Buddhist terms as Alaya Consciousness.
Now, Jiang Dali sensed Xiao Aoshi and Xiao Jingtian, forty li away.
Yet these brothers hadn’t realized they’d been exposed, and Xiao Sanxiao hadn’t detected these two renegades nearby.
Jiang Dali’s heart remained calm, neither surprised nor delighted, poised and composed, continuing to savor Qiankun Ding’s Combat Skill state, while battle intent nurtured in his chest continued elevating, suddenly employing transmission to question Xiao Sanxiao, stating.
"You’ve mentioned multiple times leveraging Breaking Realm Power can steadily suppress Xiao Jingtian, but if using only that power against Xiao Aoshi, can he be subdued?"
Upon hearing, Xiao Sanxiao was briefly surprised, then chuckled heartily, "Brother Jiang sure underestimates this old man; that youngster may restrain my Ten Thousand Paths with Four Elements All Evil, yet I will still secure victory with Complete Heaven Four Extremes, and with the Breaking Realm Power, can indeed easily defeat him."
Hearing this, Jiang Dali recalled when clashing with the Regent King’s Divine Fragment, that fragment ultimately employing Breaking Realm Power, directly shattering the void, devouring all assaults launched.
Such power, truly terrifying and awe-inspiring, was an unimaginable strength, genuinely that of Shattering Void.
