Chapter 452: 0293 Three Extremes Heavenly King (3k for monthly tickets and subscriptions)

Swoosh!

Far on the horizon, crimson clouds filled the sky!

The Vermilion Bird spread its wings to part the waves, its beak emitting Red Flame Sword Qi that nearly boiled the sea water, and a beam of red light, swift as lightning that one cannot cover their ears in time, engulfed the dragon with an infant’s head.

The sea parted, revealing the seabed below.

After the Sword Qi passed, the dragon with an infant’s head looked at the shattered Thunder Barrier around it.

"Sixth Realm..."

Wang Changming was enveloped by three weapons, his spiritual presence soaring to the sky.

He asked calmly,

"Which demon are you? I don’t kill those without a name."

The dragon with an infant’s head sneered,

"I, the Thunder Infant Demon Emperor, merely sent a mere incarnation and obliterated your worthless Tiger King Valley. You’ve just entered the Sixth Realm and you think you can kill me?"

Humans are indeed overestimating themselves! Although it was not as powerful as the veteran Demon Emperor, the Green Fire Master, it was not something a Martial Artist in the early stages of the Sixth Realm could match.

Hearing this, Wang Changming’s tiger-like eyes flashed with an even stronger intent to kill.

His master, the late Old Mountain Lord, was the last disciple of the Tiger King Valley. While the Tiger King Valley was not a major sect, it was the holy land of the Tiger Form Fist.

Boom!

Wang Changming charged through the gunfire, and the Yanyue Saber in his hand slashed down from the sky, casting a crescent-shaped saber light with a diameter of a hundred yards that descended upon the Human World, locking onto the Thunder Infant Demon Emperor!

The Demon Emperor lashed its tail, conjuring ten thousand catties of thunder from thin air.

Rumble!

Thunder crashed down like divine punishment.

Wang Changming darted through it, the acupoints throughout his body radiating moonlight, surfacing from his skin and morphing into a hanging full moon above!

After the Heavenly King, the Star Primordial True Gang evolved into the True Lunar Gang!

True Lunar Gang could condense a moon shield for protection.

The thunderstorms struck the moon shield, spreading cracks across it.

Passing through the sea of thunder, Wang Changming’s saber slashed directly down onto the head!

The Thunder Infant Demon Emperor extended its sharp claws, casually lifting them as the sea water rose skyward.

"How could a mere mortal body withstand the might of heaven?"

It kept attacking Wang Changming’s Dao Heart, its presence oppressive.

"Mountain Lord’s Seeking Dao slash!"

The saber light was unstoppable, slicing through the sea water, aiming straight for the Thunder Infant Demon Emperor’s face.

The Demon Emperor remained calm, its form turning ethereal, becoming thunder.

"Thunder is undying, thus I cannot die!"

The next moment, the Thunder Infant Demon Emperor’s expression drastically changed.

Its thunder-form body, incredibly, could not dodge the saber light.

Unbeknownst to when,

High in the heavens, an inverted black mountain emerged.

The mountain seemed ethereal yet formed a realm of its own.

This was the strongest technique, born from the pooled Martial Arts expertise and Fist Theory of a Martial Arts King, forged with the indomitable Martial Arts Will and Qi Po akin to that beyond heaven and earth!

Martial Arts Law Realm - Inverted Kunlun!

Kunlun, the abode of Lu Wu in myths and legends.

Saber, spear, sword, and fist - four overwhelming attacks burst forth with dazzling brilliance!

The sea and sky were dyed in multitudes of colors!

...

In the midst of artillery fire, Wang Changming decapitated the dragon with an infant’s head.

The Thunder Infant Demon Emperor incredulously gasped,

"How is this possible..."

The man only recently entered the Sixth Realm, yet the power he unleashed rivaled that of a mid-stage Sixth Realm Demon Emperor. Despite its dominance over mountains and seas, it lost.

The True Lunar Gang surged into the Demon Emperor’s skull, shattering its soul.

The headless dragon’s body spun in place but did not die.

The Demon Emperor’s life force was incredibly resilient, not easily killed off in a short time.

He still needed more time to eradicate its lingering will.

Later on,

Above the clouds, a true Divine Dragon shadow appeared faintly.

The Cangtian Dragon King chuckled,

"Not unworthy of being the Three Extremes Saint for slaying the Demon Emperor shortly after ascending to Heavenly King."

Wang Changming clasped his fists and said,

"Thank you, Dragon King, for the treasure!"

His ascension to Heavenly King was swift, thanks to the help of those at the Absolute Peak.

The God Dragon rose among the clouds, drifting away while leisurely saying,

"It was but a trifle."

...

May 1st, the year 2227 of the Tian Yuan calendar.

Newly-promoted Sixth Realm powerhouse Wang Changming slew the Thunder Infant Demon Emperor in the East Sea!

The news reached Dragon City, astonishing teachers and students alike.

A significant ripple went through the Da Xia Martial Arts World.

A promotion to Heavenly King, the greatest Great Grandmaster of present-day Da Xia.

Dragon City now had an additional trump card!

...

By Erhai Lake.

Lu Chenzhou adjusted his breathing, concentrated his spirit, and after fully relaxing, he tensely contracted his muscles once more, hurling an ordinary Straight Punch towards the lakefront!

This was the standard power of his punch in a normal state. An invisible wave of Qi spread out, ripping through the lake surface, extending over ten meters. Simultaneously, a micro-implant chip fixed near Lu Chenzhou’s ear emitted a flicker of light as a male voice with an instructor’s intonation chimed in:

"Qi Blood Value 83.45..."

"The energy level released by an ordinary Straight Punch is approximately 18 ding (Note: 1 ding is the average standard value of an ’ordinary Straight Punch’ calculated by the military using a large number of Initial Realm Martial Artists as samples. There will be some slight errors. The energy level does not represent the final lethality against an enemy, as the attack power will be affected by various practical combat factors such as Martial Arts, weapons, the area receiving force, and the enemy’s defensive and counter-move abilities, which cannot be measured in real-time)."

After hearing the initial explanation from his wristband, Lu Chenzhou was slightly shocked inside.

"It’s finally here, after much anticipation. No longer will those geniuses need to use me as a unit of measurement. Indeed, war drives technological innovation."

A long time ago, Martial Artists had called for the official development of a device that could approximately quantify attack power, as using only Qi Blood Value was too vague.

Now, at last, it’s starting to be implemented.

"Haha, Brother Lu, did you also buy the wristband three-piece set?"

Bai Miaomiao landed gently beside Lu Chenzhou.

Lu Chenzhou asked,

"Miss Bai, what’s your energy level? If it’s inconvenient, never mind."

"Mine is 12 ding. How about you, Brother Lu?"

Bai Miaomiao was also a bit curious.

In terms of Qi-Blood and proficiency in main Martial Arts, she and Lu Chenzhou were pretty evenly matched.

But since Lu Chenzhou practiced cross-training, he should be higher than her.

"I’m at 18 ding."

"..."

Bai Miaomiao fell silent, a little puzzled.

"Chenzhou, how much Qi-Blood do you have now?"

"Still 83."

"That doesn’t make sense. The energy level of your ordinary punch is almost the same as the standard for the Middle Realm of Martial Arts. That’s too incredible."

The energy level of an ordinary punch in the Middle Realm starts at 20 ding.

Those people have over 100 points of Qi-Blood.

Bai Miaomiao couldn’t figure it out.

Even with internal and external training, the gap shouldn’t be that large, right?

"Perhaps it’s because of the treasures I’ve taken before."

Lu Chenzhou thought of the Yellow Dragon Treasure Qi, which also increased strength.

Bai Miaomiao asked,

"Brother Lu, would you mind telling me what treasure it was?"

"Dragon Whisker Fruit."

"Thank you, I’ll exchange for that next!"

Relatively speaking, with the same Qi-Blood, Sword Cultivators indeed tend to be weaker in punching power compared to those who specialize in Fist Techniques. Sword Cultivators’ lethality primarily relies on the sharpness of swords, reducing the area of impact to increase pressure, thus achieving an effect of leveraging a small force to move a heavy weight.

Therefore, in Fist Techniques, Elbow Strike, Finger Techniques, and Knee Strikes often have the greatest power.

When throwing a punch, making a "Phoenix Eye Fist" is also based on this principle.

Bai Miaomiao hurriedly left.

Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are limited in quantity, first come, first served.

On the other hand, Lu Chenzhou was curiously conducting experiments by the lakeside.

Eventually, he drafted a table.

"An ordinary punch, about 18 ding."

"The strongest move of Heavenly Destiny Mystic Tiger Fist, 35 ding."

"Tiger Suppressing Mountains and Rivers Punch Killing Move: 28 ding."

"Xuan Yan Feitian Fist, 24 ding."

"Martial King Spear Killing Move, 30 ding."

Looking at these data, Lu Chenzhou gained some insight.

"Lower Grade True Skill, roughly offers a 1.3 to 1.5 times boost to the attacking energy level that can be unleashed by human Qi-Blood, with more ferocious ones receiving a higher boost.

On the contrary, less so. Middle Grade True Skills are about 2 times, but these energy levels do not represent the final lethality. Martial King Spear is a Lower Grade Spear Technique, its Killing Move’s energy level is not as high as Heavenly Destiny Mystic Tiger, but its actual combat power is stronger than the Mystic Tiger.

One involves just a fist, at most equipped with a Fist Blade, while the other uses a heavy spear weighing hundreds of pounds to thrust, obviously incomparable. It can be said that each has its strengths and weaknesses; in confined spaces, Short Boxing Skills are better, on open ground, spear skills are undoubtedly more practical."

After quantifying, everything became clear and straightforward. With a combination of internal and external training, plus a Divine Weapon, his full-powered strike was already no weaker than a strong Middle Realm fighter.

Against an Early Stage Great Demon from the Second Realm, it would naturally be an easy catch.

It’s worth mentioning that in the age of all-out war, under Da Xia’s leadership, the Alliance of Nations recently unified various systems of measurements and delimitations of Void Things’ Realms.

Haunting, Shadow, Resentful, and Fierce were renamed from the First to Seventh Realms to match the four minor realms of Martial Artists, further divided into Early Stage, Middle Stage, Late Stage, and Peak, to facilitate communication and collaboration.

These were just the beginning.

Next, the Alliance of Nations would become even more closely knit.

Humanity had no retreat.

...

A month swiftly passed.

June, early summer.

The military in the Hengduan Mountain Region was troubled by the fact that there’s more than one Void Realm convergence in these mountains; so far, three have been explored. Among these, the convergence at Ailao Mountain was the most dangerous, with a Demon Emperor stationed within the Void Realm.

Now, Da Xia’s top fighters, aside from a few who must remain to guard populous strongholds and cities, had mostly been mobilized, traversing various regions to slay demons and eradicate evil.

Da Xia’s once-concealed arsenal of powerful high-tech weaponry also debuted during this month. Above the firmament, missiles frequently roared through the air.

Demons killed by missiles, with their precious materials, often also went to waste, but given the current urgency, to ensure the safety of the settlements, there was no other way.

Brilliant mushroom clouds blossomed on the earth. The demons from the Otherworldly Wilderness finally experienced the terror of science and technology. Compared to the rare top fighters, these mass-produced heavy weapons could continuously cover all of Da Xia, as long as there were enough resources and economic power!

Across the Four Seas and All Nations, there were earth-shattering explosions. Humanity employed all kinds of heavy weaponry besides super nuclear weapons, bombarding the convergence sites for a month.

Mountains collapsed and rivers were redirected.

Aside from burning cash, the efficiency was quite high.

The entities behind the Virtual Disasters took notice of the formidable opposition and temporarily sounded the retreat. Apart from sending demons to harass with guerrilla tactics, most forces hid within the Void Realm.

The Human World was temporarily peaceful.

Using this breakthrough, Da Xia simultaneously reinforced military defenses in densely populated areas in the east, established Martial Arts University branches to protect local safety.

On the other side, coastal and remote strongholds or relocating populations to massive cities like Heavenly Mansion and Mountain City, which had many anti-Void projects built in advance before the wars, could swiftly accommodate relocated populations.

Correspondingly, many industries discreetly completed their relocations.

The Base City plan was officially underway.

The tide of civilization’s war had arrived!
