Chapter 935: Chapter 935: What Exactly Is Your Power?

"Ah?"

Upon hearing this command, everyone present felt extreme resistance.

How precious are cultivation resources?

Weapons and armor are, after all, everyone’s means to make a living.

To ask for these is like asking for their lives.

Who would willingly hand them over?

"Jiang Cheng, aren’t you going too far?"

"Exactly. We’ve already sworn allegiance to you as Domain Master. How can you rob us of our treasures?"

"This doesn’t happen in Ice Realm; your actions are outrageous!"

"It’s simply too excessive; the great powers within the Ice Palace would not agree!"

Ice Origin Valley is indifferent to external affairs, and during wars between True Realms, Ice’s True Realm needs a supreme organization to issue commands.

And this organization is the Ice Palace.

To protect their resources, this bunch brought up the Ice Palace to intimidate Brother Cheng.

But this was clearly ineffective.

Brother Cheng hadn’t even sheathed his sword.

"Since you are so unwilling, then I won’t make things difficult for you."

When he said his first words, the crowd was overjoyed.

Luckily, this demon was intimidated.

Obviously, he dare not go against the world.

But then Brother Cheng changed his tone.

"I’ll just kill you directly and take them myself. Wouldn’t that be by the rules?"

After saying this, he raised the sword in his hand again.

The aura of Ice Origin gathered once more, the surroundings stirred violently, and killing intent pervaded.

"No..."

The faces of the three Vice Domain Masters in charge changed drastically; they had no doubt about Jiang Cheng’s murderous intent.

He had already killed a Domain Master and three Vice Domain Masters; why wouldn’t he kill others?

Only then did they realize how laughable their previous threats were.

Even if the Realm Master was furious afterward, it would be after they’re all dead.

"I’ll hand them over, I’ll hand them over!"

They almost rushed to take off their weapons and armor, eager to present their rings.

They had no choice; although these were their means of survival, if they didn’t hand them over, they’d lose their actual lives.

Seeing the mountain-like stacking of resources before him, Brother Cheng was delighted.

This harvest was many times more than the last one!

He didn’t bother to count them, directly swept all the resources into his possession, then waved his hand.

"Get lost!"

The crowd fled wildly as if granted amnesty.

And Sect Leader Jiang, satisfied with the bounty, didn’t linger in the same place; he returned to the distant spot where Gong Qing waited.

Advisor Gong hadn’t waited long.

But for her, this brief time felt like an eternity.

The smarter ones often overthink, leading to anxiety over gains and losses.

Gong Qing was such a person.

She had personally witnessed the massive Immortal City being blown skyward and fully felt the violent battle fluctuations.

But that battle was too advanced for her; even her Divine Thought couldn’t enter, making it impossible to perceive the outcome.

So she could only rely on guessing.

The entire battle lasted only two seconds, swiftly changing from extreme chaos to tranquility.

Did it end so quickly?

She first thought Jiang Cheng might have been killed.

After all, there were so many and such strong enemies, which was the most logical outcome.

If he died, what should she do?

Would these incredible days just be considered an illusory dream?

Such chaotic thoughts caused her great inner torment.

Until now, Jiang Cheng’s familiar figure reappeared before her.

Gong Qing, rational as always, was for the first time driven by immense joy, running up to hold him tightly.

"It’s great that you’re still alive!"

The dream could continue.

She was so excited she nearly lost herself.

Brother Cheng lifted his right arm, unsure of how to react.

As he intended to do something, she released him, quickly reverting to the rational advisor mode.

"What’s the situation over there?"

She needed to understand the current situation to help plan master Jiang’s next strategy.

Brother Cheng smilingly made an OK gesture to her, "All sorted out."

"Ah?"

"Huo Chun is already taken care of; the others who needed killing are killed, and the ones not killed are pretty much semi-crippled."

The surviving experts now lacked True Artifacts and armor, indeed a semi-crippled state.

"What?"

Even having witnessed Brother Cheng’s incredible feats many times, Gong Qing was still startled to the point of losing her ability to think.

"What did you just say?"

She urgently asked for confirmation.

"You said Huo Chun has been killed by you?"

"That’s right."

Her shocked expression fulfilled Brother Cheng’s desire to show off.

"But the battle just lasted very briefly!"

Gong Qing couldn’t fathom how it was accomplished.

"How in such a short time, could you kill a Late-stage Emperor Realm Fifth Layer..."

Brother Cheng directly produced Huo Chun’s Duan Ling Sword.

And Gong Qing fell silent.

She had no choice but to believe.

Soon, Brother Cheng produced the personal True Artifacts of the remaining six Emperor Realm Fifth Layer experts.

And Gong Qing fell into deep confusion.

"My God!"

"How is this possible?"

Lord Jiang kindly gave her time to process her astonishment, busy collecting the spoils.

Aside from alchemy and artifact refining materials and Silver Moon Ice Essence, he still kept only the highest-level weapon, exchanging away everything else.

This gave him another 3.44 million Immortal Yuan Points.

Upon checking his skills, upgrading Ice’s Profound Pattern from Tenth Layer to Eleventh Layer required 10 million Immortal Yuan Points.

These were still far from enough for now.

And upgrading the Immortal Soul to Crystal Soul required a terrifying 30 million.

These two upgrades had to be postponed.

He decided to enhance the other Profound Patterns as well.

Next, he first upgraded Power’s Profound Pattern to the Tenth Layer.

Then he impulsively upgraded thirty Profound Patterns, including speed, space, sword, destruction, devouring, light, dark, Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, all to the Tenth Layer.

Ice’s True Realm did not have the Origin for these rules.

Even with upgraded Profound Patterns, they couldn’t borrow powerful external Origin.

But it still provided some effect on enhancing combat capability.

Besides, he wouldn’t be staying in Ice Realm forever.

However, since these Profound Patterns could rely only on the force of Profound Essence, their effects in Ice Realm weren’t as significant as Ice’s Profound Pattern.

Unknown to him, when he upgraded Speed and Water Element’s Profound Pattern to the Tenth Layer, in a distant world, Cang Ling and Xuanming inexplicably gained infinite Rule Enlightenment.

Soon, these two Ancient Dragon Race members miraculously broke through.

Meanwhile, back in Ice Realm, after upgrading his skills, Brother Cheng tidied up, preparing to set off.

"What exactly is your power level?"

Gong Qing, with great seriousness, gazed at him.

This question she had wanted to ask for a long while.

Initially, she thought he was Early-stage Emperor Realm Third Layer, but then he defeated Tu Xing.

Then she thought he was Late-stage Emperor Realm Third Layer, but he defeated Jin Chong.

Then she thought he was Mid-stage Emperor Realm Fourth Layer, but he defeated Di Yong and Wei Chang.

Then she thought he was Early-stage Emperor Realm Fifth Layer, and now he effortlessly defeated Late-stage Emperor Realm Fifth Layer Huo Chun.

Each time she thought she understood his depth, Brother Cheng managed to give her a fright.

It seemed like no one he couldn’t defeat.

"Could you really be the legendary Emperor Realm Sixth Layer expert?"
