Don't Mess with That Dragon-Chapter 564 - 14: Void

Austin the True has died.

His presence has utterly vanished.

Between heaven and earth, there is a deathly silence.

All the martial artists who had endured the storm were staring blankly at the figure falling from the sky.

The disciples of the Plum Blossom Sect were no exception. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

This was the only Void Realm true person killed in battle in the past decade.

Even seventeen years ago, during the most intense turmoil in the Wei Kingdom, when the alliance of the five sects in Sanshui County fought fiercely against foreign forces, only two Void Realm true persons were killed in battle.

Countless shocked gazes concentrated on Zhuge Minghai, the lone figure standing high in the sky.

Unbelievable!

To counter a Void Realm true person from the Sea of Qi Realm is a myth unseen in a thousand years in Sanshui County!

A silence like death.

No one spoke.

As for the reactions of the crowd below, Zhuge Minghai was no longer concerned.

At this moment, after killing Austin the True,

the three treasures of essence, qi, and spirit within his body had sublimated to an extreme during the battle.

This was the best opportunity to break through to the Void Realm!

Zhuge Minghai hovered high in the sky, his heart spirit sinking into the sea of consciousness.

With one vigorous effort,

BOOM!!!

A massive force suddenly erupted from around him.

Like a volcano suppressing for millennia, it erupted in a single morning, with a mighty force overwhelming heaven and earth, shocking the nine heavens!

The terrifying aura directly triggered the Celestial Secret Aura, causing great tides in the void of heaven and earth.

"Is this... a breakthrough into Void?!!!"

Looking at the god-like or devil-like figure in the sky.

All around, there was a clamor.

The martial artists watching were too stunned to speak.

Everything that had happened today was beyond everyone’s expectations.

Originally, it was thought,

that with the Boundless Pavilion’s preparation and a Void Realm true person taking action personally, the Plum Blossom Sect was doomed.

However,

the result was that Zhuge Minghai, the Sect Leader of Plum Blossom Sect, countered and struck down a Void Realm person from the Sea of Qi Realm, Austin the True was defeated and died, and Zhuge Minghai advanced to the true person realm!

Such an event, if they had not witnessed it with their own eyes, they might have dismissed it as nonsense.

....

Several days later.

Over seven days had passed since the battle outside the Luoyan Mountain Range.

Unexpectedly, that battle had already made a great stir throughout the Cultivation Realm of Sanshui, where countless martial artists speculated, and anyone hearing this news for the first time was in utter disbelief.

The difficulty of challenging across levels is exceedingly great.

Some genius martial artists might manage to successfully challenge across levels at a Low Tier.

For example, among the five great sects of Sanshui, a genius disciple at the peak of Body Refinement might not lose to a Loose Cultivator at the early stage of Condensing Essence in the Luoyan Mountain Range.

However,

the higher the realm, the greater the gap.

In terms of Sanshui County, the Void Realm true persons standing atop the cultivation realm were once influential and talented figures of their time.

Those who made it to the end were all heroes in their own right.

How could they be easily challenged across levels?

To defeat a Void Realm from the Sea of Qi Realm, in the entire Sanshui County, only the prodigy Yan Kuangtu of five hundred years ago managed it.

However,

that person lives only in legends and myths. Moreover, Yan Kuangtu only managed to defeat a Void Realm true person, not kill him.

The difference here is evident.

Zhuge Minghai, who countered and struck down a Void Realm from the Sea of Qi Realm, can be considered the most Legendary myth in the history of the cultivation realm in Sanshui County.

The external tumult was unending,

with innumerable martial artist factions being shaken by this major event.

Some lamented, some questioned, and some schemed.

The emergence of a new Void Realm true person, especially one of relatively strong ability within the Void Realm, is bound to impact the current cultivation realm of Sanshui.

Certain ongoing undercurrents also became chaotic due to the result of this battle outside the Luoyan Mountain Range.

Compared to the external chaos,

inside the Plum Blossom Sect, from elders to ordinary disciples, although excited by the Sect Leader’s slaying of Austin the True and advancing to the Void Realm, maintained stability.

The entire sect’s spirit, sweeping away the decadence of more than ten years, rose vigorously.

Previously,

because the Plum Blossom Sect had no Void Realm true person as a pillar, there were harsh criticisms from the outside about the Plum Blossom Sect’s lack of qualification to compare with the other four sects, and at times during the disciple exchange conference of the five sects, the disciples of the Plum Blossom Sect could only endure certain mocking words.

But now, who dares have any objections!

When the Sect Leader at the peak of the Sea of Qi could single-handedly slay a Void Realm true person, who in Sanshui County could accomplish such a feat?

Moreover,

now that the Sect Leader Zhuge Minghai has ascended to the Void, who would dare to belittle the Plum Blossom Sect!

The Plum Blossom Sect, suppressed for more than a decade,

has now stood tall.

...

The changes in the outside world, being at the center of the topic, Zhuge Minghai did not pay much attention to.

At this moment, Zhuge Minghai was in a secret chamber, cultivating to stabilize his realm.

Using the slaughter of a Void Realm true person as a sacrifice, elevating essence, qi, and spirit to the limit to break through realms, this method, although allowing rapid advancement into the Void Realm, has certain drawbacks.

That is an unstable foundation.

Zhuge Minghai would not leave this flaw unchecked.

In these seven days, he continually stabilized his realm while reinforcing his foundation.

After seven days,

the results were fruitful.

"Bright God’s Ten Thousand Transformations, this secret technique is mighty!"

Inside the secret chamber, Zhuge Minghai, sitting cross-legged on a mat, sensed the power within, his expression solemn.

Having advanced to the Void Realm, he stepped into a long-desired world.

Only now did Zhuge Minghai truly feel the power of this miraculous secret technique that helped him refine Plum Blossom Sect’s martial arts, slay Austin the True, and break through realms.

As his realm increased, his Divine Sense also underwent a qualitative change.

His understanding of this secret technique grew deeper.

Computational power almost showed exponential growth.

Before the Void Realm, Zhuge Minghai relied on the secret technique taught by Austin to assist Plum Blossom Sect’s Plum Blossom Divination, exhausting his heart spirit to swiftly calculate the flaws of the Purple Qi Milky Way in a short time.

It was precisely because of this that he could strike down Austin the True in one blow.

Zhuge Minghai’s ability to counter and defeat Void with the Sea of Qi was due to this very secret technique.

And now,

having entered the Void Realm, Zhuge Minghai’s Divine Sense became more powerful, and the core of Divine Sense in the depths of his sea of consciousness underwent certain changes.

This change was so powerful that it almost made Zhuge Minghai feel omniscient and omnipotent, with everything he observed being analyzable and computable.

He took a deep breath,

suppressing the illusion in his heart that emerged after the breakthrough.

After a long while,

Zhuge Minghai stood up and left the secret chamber.

He walked towards the direction of the Ancestral Hall.

Now, the crisis of the Plum Blossom Sect was mostly averted, and it was time to pay another visit to that predecessor.

No matter what,

his advancement to the Void, and the Plum Blossom Sect’s survival, could not have been possible without the help of that mysterious predecessor.
