Jiang Ming was victorious, standing in the middle of the 9th Battle Stage.
Although his body was tattered with his left arm cut off and extremely serious injuries, he recovered to his original state in just a blink of an eye.
‘Tcouldn’t have passed this level if I did not have the Time special ability,’ Jiang Ming thought. The Solitary Desert was only the first form of special ability in the Great Millennial Technique. It distorted time, slowing down the surrounding timeline but did not affect himself in the process.
The power of time could be said to be almost unparalleled.
Jiang Ming tured swiftly, reaching the 10th level of the Battle Stage.
Once again, Jun Sangian appeared before him. “Never had I expected that you’d reach the 1oth level. Honestly, the 9th level of the Battle Stage is more terrifying than the 10th level in some ways.” Jun Sangian looked at Jiang Ming with amazement written all over his face.
“I’s only because I’ve comprehended the power of time. That’s all there is.” Jiang Ming explained as he chose a sword for the battle, which was still a Pseudo Immortal Weapon.
“Through the countless worlds, there are only a few special beings with the exception of being able to comprehend the Time Dao. It’s just too difficult otherwise. If you put it in a certain way, the power of time is actually considered taboo. Who would’ve thought that you have not only been able to step foot
into the rudimentary stage of time but also managed to perform the time’s special ability of Time? You are truly amazing!” Jun Sangian was astonished.
“There are only three ways to break free from the power of time. One, to master the Time Dao itself and fight fire with fire. Two, to have enough strength to withstand the erosion of the power of time. The third is to have a high enough cultivation base to suppress the power of time.” Jun Sangian
continued explaining.
“Can an Imminent Immortal expert suppress the power of time?” Jiang Ming asked.
“That depends how strong the Imminent Immortal is.” Jun Sangian smiled, turning his sword over, and pointed at the ground. “Go ahead. You might be able to reach the 12th level.!”
“Okay!” Jiang Ming responded before raising his hand to evoke the Five Elemental Great Grinder. The five-elemental power started its circulation, crushing and destroying anything it touched. The construction and deconstruction relation between the five elements made the attack extremely difficult to
defend from.
However, it only took Jun Sangian a simple flick to form a sword slash that dispersed the Five Elemental Great Grinder’s attack. He continued slashing the longsword, creating 81 sword qi slashes, with each slash able to rip through the void, cutting down the laws in its path.
However many special abilities Jiang Ming threw at Jun Sangian, the latter dispersed the attacks easily with a simple slash that could even cut through the void.
“The Level 10 is akin to the Imminent Immortal Realm in your world. When a person reaches the Imminent Immortal Realm, their Primal Spirit, mana, and physiques will be enlightened to a whole new level, and the essence of the very person will be enhanced with the characteristics of an Immortal.
“The Extreme Path Realm is the limit among the human realm, whereas the Imminent Immortal Realm surpasses the human limits. An ounce of the Imminent Immortal’s mana is akin to ten ounces of that of the Extreme Path’s. However, the destructive power that it possesses multiplies by a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthundred-fold and even has the ability to break down infinite laws,” Jun Sangian explained to Jiang Ming.
The Imminent Immortal Realm was not just your normal level of power.
Jiang Ming did not give in and continued throwing millions of special abilities at Jun Sangian, but the exchanges only ended up in a draw. He just couldn’t defeat Jun Sangian.
“Solitary Desert!” Jiang Ming had to reluctantly use the time special ability to cut down Jun Sangian.
Moving on to the next level, the Jun Sangian in the 11th Battle Stage also possessed the mastery of Time Dao in addition to an immense increase in his defense by using the Yin-Yang Dao as his protective measure. Jiang Ming could only break through his defensive barrier but was not able to cut him down
in one slash. Killing him again was getting harder.
Evoking the same ‘Solitary Desert’ technique, Jiang Ming looked for an opening and launched the Return of Infinite Law Finger technique at Jun Sangian. As Jiang Ming’s finger met Jun Sangian’s body, he was able to break through the Yin-Yang Dao’s seemingly impenetrable defensive barrier, leaving a
hole in his forehead.
The technique accumulated infinite laws into a finger, giving it the ability to penetrate anything and decimating any power of laws.
As he ascended onto the 12th Battle Stage, Jiang Ming again evoked the same Retum of Infinite Law Finger technique.
“Such a fearful special ability cumulating infinite laws into a single finger! Your technique is still not fully developed. Once you are able to merge 3,000 laws into one, this technique will then be overwhelmingly strong and can penetrate anything and everything, Your technique here has an infinite amount
of potential. Cultivate it carefully, little boy,” Jun Sangian of the 12th Battle Stage gave his advice before said technique cut him down.
‘When Jiang Ming reached the 13th Battle Stage, this time, there were two Jun Sangian on the stage. Jiang Ming was able to kill one of them but was killed off instantly by the other.
Defeated at the 13th Battle Stage, Jiang Ming did not hesitate and went back to the same level again to greet the 13th level’s Jun Sangian.
Upon seeing Jiang Ming’s return, he asked, “Do you know what caused you to be defeated?”
“Senior, your current state has the power to overwhelm me completely. However, with my defensive techniques and peerless physiques, can I really not take on even a single attack?” Jiang Ming questioned sincerely.
“Well, of course, the current you cannot withstand my attack. I am at the pinnacle of the Imminent Immortal Realm, possessing infinite different special abilities.” Jun Sangian laughed before he added, “I am unable to fend off your Time Law’s attack, which gave you the chance to kill me. However, if you
can kill me, so can I. It comes down to whoever finds the opening first. When you retum to the world and fight against an Imminent Immortal expert, never give them any chances and directly take their lives. Of course, the typical Imminent Immortal expert back in your world wouldn’t be as strong as I
am.”
“Thanks to your guidance, I have the experience now. If I face any opponent, I will be sure to kill them with a single strike!” Jiang Ming thanked Jun Sanqian profusely for his guidance.
Jiang Ming’s reply brought a big smile to Jun Sanqian’s face. Slowly, his face turned solemn, and he stared at Jiang Ming, asking, “You are of the human race. What will you do when you return to reality and discover millions and millions of humans were slaughtered, enslaved, or kept in captivity?”
Jiang Ming’s expression turned solemn, and he suddenly turned silent upon hearing the question.
Jun Sanqian continued asking, ” If you were part of the cause that led to these happenings, what would you do? Do you have the ability to deal with this? Once you make a move, there’s a risk of getting killed yourself!”
Startled by the question, Jiang Ming remained in silence, but he understood that Jun Sanian should be referring to the current predicament of Eastern Region in Jiang Ming’s world.
Humans were now being slaughtered as one of the aftermaths of the big war.
What about slavery and captivity? It might happen as well!
Although most devils were humans before, most of them had already lost their humanity. Moreover, there were many devils of the other demonic races who were truly the real devils.
‘Then there was the Sea Clan to consider. Once they dominated most of Eastern Region’s domain, their next step would surely be world domination!
How would their domination be? To the demonic race, humans were considered food, whereas the devils saw humans as means for them to breed parasites.
‘Lwanted to keep a low profile. However, to protect my Junior Sister and maintain peace, I’ve unknowingly killed off so many enemies. This has directly led to Eastern Region’s great war, causing calamity and chaos!
‘Was it my fault? No! Of course, it wasn’t! If they wanted to take down my Junior Sister, how could I not kill them?
‘Without the ability to protect then, I can only silently watch the demons and devils terrorizing my human race. But now that I have the ability to save them, what should I do? Born a human, die a human…” Jiang Ming pondered for a very long time before laughing at himself.
He took a swift glance at his Status before taking a bow and leaving the Battle Stage.

Jiang Ming’s accumulated points had skyrocketed, reaching the thousand-mark
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThere were slight changes to his Status, but the numbers were still considered the extremes to the others.
“Brother Jiang, are you even a human?” Luo Heng paced over to meet up with him with his face still in shock. This time, Luo Heng was getting numb from amazement. He could not even dream that someone would be able to get a 9-stage record, yet that person was standing in front of him now.
“Tm not sure if you are mocking me or praising me here.” Jiang Ming cleared his thoughts and smiled back at Luo Hong. He took out two jars of wine and threw one over to Luo Heng. As he opened the jar, he started chugging down the whole jar.
“Brother Jiang, take it easy! This is the Fire of the Nine Heavens wine. It has a huge kick to it!” Luo Heng tried to warn him.
“Satisfaction!” Jiang Ming howled as he exhaled an alcoholic breath. The breath turned into flames, yet its sweetness was exceedingly rich. “This is what men should drink!” he exclaimed as he took another jar and started to chug down again. The flames of the alcohol slowly burned away his feelings of
depression.
“Are you even a man? Why do I not see it?” Luo Heng took a glance below.
“You can try and turn into a lady. I’ll let you see how much of a man I am,” retorted Jiang Ming as he grinned at Luo Heng.
Luo Heng’s body tightened uncontrollably, and he took a step back instantly. “I know a guy in my world. With his immense capability, he occasionally restructures his own cells, changing his appearance as well as his gender. He kills any man or woman and even lusts for both genders! He is so strong that
he cultivated a secret technique. The technique allowed him to cut off a part of himself to be used to reconstruct another clone to have an insightful sexual relationship with himself!” Luo Heng gasped.
“Holy! There’s even something so perverted?” Jiang Ming was shocked.
“Well, the people back in my place are not that rigid and respect the so-called freedom of gender. Anything is possible! It stains not only the souls but also burns a person’s eyes!” Luo Heng continued.
“Have you seen it with your own eyes?” Jiang Ming asked curiously.
“Absolutely not! Brother Jiang, don’t tell me you want to watch this? Would you like me to find some material for you?” Luo Heng snickered.
“My heart is pure, and I’m straight.” Jiang Ming stated firmly.
“Your heart might be, but that doesn’t mean your eyes are,” Luo Heng commented.
“That kind of makes sense,” Jiang Ming muttered.
‘The two went on chattering for quite some time.
Adjusting himself, Jiang Ming looked around the surroundings and said goodbye to Luo Heng.
High above the Chuyang Peak, the lunar moon dimly illuminated the infinite stars in the skies.
Jiang Ming stood atop his roof and gazed into the night. He noticed the vast lands of Eastern Region were still shrouded indefinitely by the evil spirit’s aura. Due to the intense bloodbath, a dense bloody aura could be seen oozing and permeating into the skies.
Indistinctly, it felt as if endless innocent souls were grieving with curses.
Jiang Ming couldn’t help but sigh softly. He flipped through the Human Path Records and noticed no changes to his Junior Sister’s Status.
However, when he looked over at the Status of the Chuyang Peak’s First Seat, he raised an eyebrow, and a monstrous, murderous intent could be felt radiating from his eyes.
