Chapter 288: Sound of Flute, Three Fingers into One, Demolishing Dao

Jiang Ming was about to continue his attack, but realized that the surrounding space had been confined.

This was a special ability of the Quasi-Sage Realm. With his current abilities, it was impossible for him to unravel such an attack and he could only try to break free from the confinement with brute force. Before he could even react, thousands of snakes could be seen appearing, spurting bloody mist that quickly filled the air.

Jiang Ming saw layers upon layers of densely woven chains of rules that kept shattering and dissipating under layers of blood mist.

Heavenly Immortal law, True Immortal Law, Mystical Immortal Law, Golden Immortal law and the likes were all annihilated layer by layer under the blood mist.

The layers of space had also been corroded into potholes as a result.

Upon witnessing such an ordeal, Jiang Ming’s scalp turned numb. The Nine Level Golden Pagoda was seen hanging above his head. As he raised his hand and swatted, sparks were suddenly discharged with the deafening sound of thunder exploding, blocking the blood mist in its tracks before quickly vanishing.

This was the Thunder Flame Dao

The Thunder Flame that was supposed to suppress the blood mist was instead restrained by the seemingly endless blood mist in a blink of an eye.

Jiang Ming frowned as thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind. The very next moment, his body rose steadily, reaching thousands of feet high.

The power of his physical body had also skyrocketed to the extreme, reaching the real peak that a Golden Immortal Realm could achieve. It could also be said that this was the limitation of the Heavens and Earth, and the great Dao.

Reaching such a limitation was an energy outburst of a thousand-fold.

If he were to take a step further and enter the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, his physical body would have undergone transformation and that it wouldn’t be suitable anymore. He would’ve had to deduce the whole special ability again. Such was the limitation of the physique.

“World Projection, Chessboard Imprisonment!”

“Killer Civilization Punch, break through the infinite realm!”

The surrounding void shook as the World Projection fell. Invisible chains of laws intertwined into a chess board, forming the power of confinement, blockade, and suppression. However, it only managed to delay the speed of the blood-colored poisonous mist from spreading by just a little.

Immediately afterwards, both his fists were in a barrage, naturally evolving into an illusory river of history. One single punch blew up one of the silver snakes that penetrated the confinement.

Deafening blows could be heard constantly.

With both his fists, Jiang Ming formed a torrent made of history. It was extremely violent, destroying everything as if it was an unstoppable force to be reckoned with. With loud explosions, it actually shattered the snake array formation.

The silver snakes exploded in the air one after another, forming bursts of blood mist.

“How dare you kill thousands of my descendants?” The Thousand Snake Demon Venerate was enraged. He opened his mouth and spat out a machete, which disappeared in a flash, directly aiming between Jiang Ming’s eyebrows.

It was extremely fast. So much so that Jiang Ming was almost unable to react to this sudden attack.

Boom…

The machete was blocked by the defensive luminance hanging from the Nine Level Golden Pagoda. However, it kept advancing, bursting with power before forming a circle of storm.

The Golden Pagoda trembled vigorously. Its defensive luminance was about to be broken through.

“Such strength!” Jiang Ming was taken aback again.

When faced against an expert such as the Thousand Snake Demon Venerate, Jiang Ming could’ve easily killed him by just using his special abilities. However, this opponent here had too many supportive Dao vessels in hand.

Inside the snake formation array, the machete, or rather the teeth of a poisonous snake could be seen right in front of him

As Jiang Ming’s eyes flashed, the machete in front of him trembled, as the power that was contained in it was suddenly launched into chaos. He reached out and grabbed onto the machete. Although nine layers of the immortal luminance in his palm were still shattered, he still managed to grab it and throw it into the Human Path Record.

‘Thousand Snake Blade: Made of the fangs of a Quasi-Sage Snake combined with the Innate Wind Essence Stone and the Abyssal Venom, it has unparalleled speed, unyielding strength, and extreme toxicity.’

Jiang Ming took a glance at the ‘Status’ and was done with it.

A long river of history suddenly appeared under his feet. It was seemingly vast and mighty, with no starting point nor destination. It was akin to the river of fate with endless mysteries hidden in it and even seemed to have the power of fate.

“Damn it! This kid actually imprisoned my Thousand Snake Blade!” The Thousand Snake Demon Venerate was shocked, yet his murderous intention was also overwhelming. With a roar, he raised his hands, fired two Yin Thunders at Jiang Ming while he launched himself forward.

A long sword that was as black as ink suddenly appeared in his hands.

“There’s something weird about this kid! Be careful!” The Great Demon Concubine reminded him. As she raised her hand, the Seven-colored Scarf that was wrapped around her body flew out and came right in front of Jiang Ming’s eye in a blink of an eye.

This scarf had already evoked the power of order, forming into a confinement technique.

Right that very moment, three clones appeared around Jiang Ming. They were the Past Body, the Present Body, and the Future Body.

“Break!”

The Past Body raised his hand and punched, dispersing the Yin Thunders.

“The destruction of body, the destruction of soul and the destruction of heart! Three fingers into one, demolishing Daos!”

His Present Body launched his ultimate technique.

The Three Thousand Cataclysm Fingers technique which he had advanced into a terrifying form, completely combined the essence of the first three finger techniques. This technique had become extremely powerful, but its energy consumption had also been pushed to the extreme.

Bright red luminance could be seen flashing all over his body. They were actually burning flames. With just a single finger, he pointed at the tip of the Thousand Snake Demon Venerate’s sword.

Boom…

A peerless power erupted, forming torrents of chaos.

“What kind of special ability is this?” Thousand Snake Demon Venerate screamed in horror. The incomparable gleaming luminance that was contained in the sword was shattered. Its power was transmitted back at him, shattering his palm, hand and even his arms as he was sent flying back from the explosion.

The Present Body then turned into flames and dissipated.

Through the convergence of the three fingers, a single blow could destroy Dao. That was how domineering it was.

Right the very next moment, the Present Body was quickly conjured yet again.

As long as Jiang Ming stayed alive, so did this special ability of his.

The Present Body had already launched itself after the Thousand Snake Demon Venerate, as the Past Body chased behind.

It was also at this time that the Future Body waved his palm swiftly, forming a mysterious power flow, scattering the luminance from Seven-Colored Scarf driven by the Great Demon Concubine. The Future Body then grabbed with his other hand and intended to put the scarf into the Human Path Record.

However, the sound of a flute could be heard echoing in the air. Immediately, the scattered rays of luminance from the Seven-Colored Scarf suddenly converged and entangled the Future Body, crushing it into pieces.

Jiang Ming frowned, only to see the Great Demon Concubine playing a flute. Its notes sounded like elves skipping in the air as an invisible force connected itself with the scarf, resisting the interference from the Infinite Vessel Manipulation Technique

Even the huge bed under her was dispersing rhythmic notes.

‘Three pieces of Quasi-Sage Weapons! What a f*cking rich woman!’ Jiang Ming complained to himself.

He was also certain that the Great Demon Concubine definitely had other Quasi-Sage Dao Vessels with her.

After all, she was the number one courtesan of the Honggu Heavenly Realm.

Having slept with the Heavenly Emperor, fondled with the Laughing Buddha, cuddled with the old dragon, snuggled with Great Demon Venerates and the likes, it could be said that she had a terrifyingly strong background.

Therefore, it wouldn’t be surprising if she had five or six Quasi-Sage Dao Vessels at her disposal.

As the Future Body reappeared, it launched its attack at the Great Demon Concubine.

Standing on the long river of history, Jiang Ming saw the Great Demon Concubine being entangled by his Future Body. He then turned his gaze over to the Thousand Snake Demon Venerate.

This old demon had recovered his shattered arm and was wielding his long sword to fight against Jiang Ming’s Past and Present bodies. The Demon Venerate was quite fearfully adept as he produced poisonous artifacts time after time to interfere with their attacks. Because of that, both the Past Body and Future Body weren’t able to completely suppress the Demon Venerate for a while.

‘It’s time to end this!’ Jiang Ming thought.

He had exposed a lot of his techniques in this great battle, but also understood his shortcomings better.

His physical body, which seemed to be strong, was in fact not. When compared with these Quasi-Sage old demons, his physical body was still very fragile, and was far from reaching the point of invincibility.

Also, he realized that he had very few effective techniques at his disposal, yet he wasn’t to be blamed for this. After all, his cultivation realm was still too low.

Otherwise, if he was also of the Quasi-Sage Realm, he could’ve easily tortured these two demons to death by just relying on the Three Thousand Great Dao Technique.

‘I still have one last technique. Unless it’s absolutely necessary, it must not be used! Nevertheless, it’s the time to end this battle!’

As Jiang Ming thought to himself, two clones appeared beside him.

His physical body had reached a height of 1,000-feet while the power of his flesh and blood increased by a thousand fold. Hence, his capacity to withstand the pressure too, had increased greatly.

While fully evoking the Infinite Transcendence Technique, he could still conjure two more clones. And that would be enough!

“Time and Space Confinement Technique!”

As soon as the two clones appeared, they directly ignited themselves in flame, casting the most terrifying confinement special ability as all their strengths were completely integrated into the technique.

“Infinite Vessel Manipulation Technique!”

The Past Body, who was besieging the Thousand Snake Demon Venerate, suddenly changed the special ability that he was evoking. He formed the manipulation seals on both his hands, manipulating the long sword in his opponent’s hand, while his right hand casted the seal interfering with the Thousand Snake Demon Venerate’s battle suit.

“Demolishing Dao!”

As the Thousand Snake Demon Venerate was stunned briefly, he was pierced between his eyebrows with just a finger by the Present Body.
