Seven Kill Dao Child's attack caused far too much commotion, alerting the others who were still fighting to their hearts' content.
They looked toward Jiang Li and understood that he was the current Human Emperor. In the past, they would surely have paid him a visit with immense reverence and admiration.
Though they still admired Jiang Li and knew he was powerful, they now felt powerful themselves as well. They might not be unable to fight an Extraterrestrial Demon. With that thought in mind, their admiration for Jiang Li diminished considerably.
Even Li Litong, the body-snatcher, thought the same. He was now a great cultivator at the Integrated Body Late Stage, swollen with unprecedented confidence. He felt that even if an Extraterrestrial Demon came attacking, he could trade a few blows with it.
"Everyone, don't you want the Human Emperor Jiang to offer you some guidance? This is a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity!"
Seven Kill Dao Child, who had been sent flying, steadied himself and stirred up the crowd, giving those whose hearts were already restless a reason to act.
Jiang Li smiled and agreed. "Sure."
He then said to Qin Luan and Song Ying, "The two of you can join them as well and spar with me."
Song Ying hesitated. She had not become inflated from obtaining temporary power. She still held Jiang Li in awe and did not dare make a move.
Moreover, she thought Jiang Li was angered by everyone's disrespect and was speaking sarcastically.
But Qin Luan knew that Jiang Li was taking this opportunity to guide them.
Simply getting to meet Jiang Li was already difficult; receiving his guidance was an opportunity that came once in a thousand years. If they missed this chance, they would regret it for the rest of their lives.
"You fool, the Human Emperor Jiang wants to guide us, and you're refusing?"
Only then did Song Ying realize that Jiang Li was not speaking in anger or sarcasm. He truly intended to guide them. She hurriedly pulled Qin Luan into the eager crowd.
The first to attack was unexpectedly Li Litong. Jiang Li had kicked him flying before, and he believed Jiang Li had merely bullied him with his superior realm, leaving him quite resentful. Now that he possessed power his past self would not even have dared dream of, he naturally intended to repay that kick.
He imagined himself standing against the world, slaughtering thousands upon thousands of enemies and gaining an oceanic quantity of Qi and Blood Power, propelling him in one stroke to the Integrated Body Late Stage.
At that moment, qi and blood churned behind him like a vast ocean, surging through the heavens. His former two blood blades evolved into two chopping sabers capable of cleaving mountains and parting seas, their momentum terrifying. "Human Emperor Jiang, please instruct me!"
Jiang Li no longer maintained his Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivation and returned to his original strength. Then he kicked again.
The two blades crossed before Li Litong's chest as he tried to protect himself, but before Jiang Li's kick, he was still launched far into the distance.
"Brother Litong, I'll help you!"
The Four-Clawed True Dragon charged into Li Litong's ocean of qi and blood. Dragon blood immediately surged forth, and his dragon power soared. Even his broken dragon horn regrew.
The dragon race possessed powerful bodies and abundant qi and blood. Now that he stood within an ocean of qi and blood, his physical strength was forcibly raised by another level.
Li Litong condensed the dual blades from qi and blood once more and attacked Jiang Li alongside the true dragon.
Jiang Li did not stand on ceremony. He seized the Qi and Blood Dual Blades, casually gripped Li Litong's shoulders with both hands, and with a light exertion dislocated both his arms. Then he kicked him flying again.
Li Litong flew sideways, smashing through three mountains in succession before his strength gave out and he fainted.
Facing the Four-Clawed True Dragon's ferocious assault, Jiang Li shattered three reverse scales with a single punch, making the true dragon howl in agony again and again.
"The human race has Body Refinement Methods as well. Mount Sumeru has Dragon-Tiger Arhat, who subdued true dragons, and the Human Emperor Palace has Zhang Kong Hu, whose fleshly body withstood thunder tribulations. Why insist on seeking the body of another race?"
Jiang Li grabbed the dragon by the horn and hurled him into the crowd, sending everyone into chaos from the impact.
Having received Jiang Li's guidance, the true dragon suddenly saw the light. He had previously single-mindedly pursued high-purity flood dragon blood and dragon blood, seeking to turn himself into a dragonman. But humans and dragons had two entirely different bodily structures—how could they possibly fit together perfectly?
He changed from dragon to human and bowed deeply to Jiang Li. He resolved that after leaving the Secret Realm, he would change course and reconsider the path of body refinement.
Everyone had exchanged blows with one another earlier and knew that Li Litong and the Four-Clawed True Dragon were exceptionally powerful, enough to rank among the top ten of them. Yet even so, they had still been defeated by Jiang Li in a single move.
They put away their arrogance and understood that one or two people alone could not possibly defeat Jiang Li. They could not even make him move his feet. Only by attacking together might they have a chance of defeating him.
"Taking on the Human Emperor requires no honor—attack together!"
Someone in the crowd shouted. The people, already poised to strike, instinctively unleashed their strongest techniques and attacked Jiang Li all at once.
Qin Luan saw clearly that it had been Seven Kill Dao Child who shouted just now. After shouting, he hid within the crowd and pretended it had nothing to do with him.
The Golden Crow blazed like a great sun hanging in the sky, instantly evaporating all moisture from the air!
A member of the Sun Chasing Clan took up a running stance, his legs tensing as he exerted force. At a speed so fast it left afterimages, he crashed toward Jiang Li. His massive body, when running, resembled Mount Sumeru hurtling at high speed, carrying astonishing force!
The Kun Fish leaped from the vast ocean and transformed into a Golden Peng. One hundred and eight thousand golden feathers trembled, while gorgeous, ancient runes unfolded the mysteries of transformation. Its beak was razor-sharp; a single peck at an Integrated Body Realm Cultivator would leave behind a bloody hole!
The person wielding Dharma Idol Embodiment stood between heaven and earth, able to blot out the sky with a raised hand. His pair of iron fan-like palms came crashing down like the collapse of the heavens! Seven Kill Dao Child spat out a mouthful of essence blood and drove seven immortal swords. Earth, fire, wind, and lightning flowed around their tips, as if they were about to remake this world! The Person Controlling Thunder Tribulation spoke with Mouth Contains Heavenly Decree, commanding Ascension Tribulation clouds to gather above Jiang Li. Silver tribulation lightning shone with mighty radiance, capable of stirring the heart demons of those undergoing tribulation, forcing them to subdue their heart demons while exhausting themselves against heavenly lightning until they were reduced to ashes! The Person Controlling Thunder Tribulation was the strongest person anyone in the crowd could imagine. During the earlier melee, he had held the upper hand even while fighting many opponents alone, freely mocking others for their weakness.
Seeing this dazzling array of attacks, Jiang Li curled his lips. What a lively bunch of youngsters.
"I truly envy you for still having dreams. Unlike me, I can't imagine anything stronger than myself."
Jiang Li sighed, as though he had not seen the attacks at all, merely wallowing in self-pity.
Though this was the Dream Realm, Jiang Li had not become stronger. The reason was that he could not imagine what changes would make him stronger than he already was. He did know of things like Two-Way Foil and Mathematical Rate Weapons, but knowing only the concepts was useless; he also needed to know the principles behind them. He was no genius physicist—how would he understand such things?
As for ascending to immortality, he only needed to enter the Immortal World and convert all his spiritual qi into Immortal Power. But what Immortal Power looked like, he could not imagine.
Besides, even if a true immortal came, he was confident he could defeat one.
As for becoming another race, ever since he entered the Great Ascension Stage, the title of strongest race had fallen upon humanity, and no one had ever been able to shake it.
As for mastering some divine ability, he could imagine Universe in a Sleeve, Scattering Beans into Soldiers, and the like. But to him, those were more like minor conveniences of daily life—better for storing things, better for moving things—not something that could make him stronger.
As for wielding some immortal artifact, he felt the Great Halberd sitting in his Storage Ring was still the most useful. Since no enemy was worth using it against, the Great Halberd had gathered dust.
As for mastering some rule, he treated passing thunder tribulations like taking a bath. Things such as the Time Rule and Space Rule were too difficult for him; he could not imagine them.
"How melancholy."
Hearing the Human Emperor Jiang's troubles, everyone immediately struck even harder. Even Song Ying, who admired the Human Emperor most, felt the urge to hit someone.
It was infuriating!
