Chapter 260 · Yao Ling Behind, Facing a Fierce Beast Directly

Bai He had once wondered what cultivation the continent's number one genius truly had.

In his mind, with Chen Ming's current age, at most thirteen or fourteen, reaching the level of a high-ranked Spirit Ancestor would already be extremely impressive.

Even if Chen Ming had obtained some heaven-defying opportunity, touching the edge of Spirit King should already be the limit. That would already be terrifying enough. Anything higher than that, Bai He would not dare imagine, not even in his dreams.

But just now, Chen Ming had fought a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast. He had even forced out that hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast's explosive ability.

Although Bai He had been knocked unconscious by the pressure afterward and did not see what happened next, in his view, someone else must have stepped in later at most.

At such an age, being able to exchange one round with a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast, gain the upper hand, and force it to burn its life was already an extremely terrifying thing.

That achievement had already surpassed most ordinary Titled Douluo.

This was a child? This was a person who was more expert in theoretical deduction?

Bai He silently swallowed.

He felt that if he dared say no today, or if the Speed Clan dared to make any small moves in the future, his whole family, along with their ancestral graves, would be sent flying together.

Bai He had truly seen the continent's number one genius before.

In fact, he had seen more than one generation of the continent's number one genius.

When he was young, he had seen Tang Chen, the Clear Sky Sect master who had been in his prime back then. He had once seen Tang Chen use part of his power.

Before Tang Chen disappeared, after his final battle with Qian Daoliu, Bai He had even gone to observe the battlefield.

Seeing that battlefield, which was like a natural disaster and had even completely changed the terrain, he had been deeply shaken. Even after so many years, he sometimes still dreamed and thought, How good would it be if I could reach even one-tenth of that level?

As the uncle of Tang Xiao, Tang Hao, and Tang Yuehua, Bai He had watched Tang Xiao and Tang Hao grow up bit by bit, from awakening their Martial Souls and becoming Spirit Masters, to slowly growing stronger.

Tang Xiao's talent was already excellent, but it still could not be called number one on the continent. Because his personality was a little soft, he did not receive too much affection from Tang Chen and was only trained properly step by step.

But ever since Tang Hao awakened his Martial Soul, Tang Chen had seen him as his successor across generations and personally taught him bit by bit.

Until the period before Tang Hao killed Spirit Hall's pope, Qian Xunji, Bai He had kept in contact with Tang Hao.

He had personally witnessed Tang Hao grow up under the title of "the continent's number one genius." Under Tang Chen's teaching, Tang Hao learned the Clear Sky Sect's Clear Sky Nine Absolutes and its secret technique, the Great Sumeru Hammer. Bai He also watched as Tang Hao became a Titled Douluo in his forties.

Bai He was not someone without experience.

It was precisely because he had once come into contact with those experts and geniuses standing at the peak of the continent that he completely could not understand why Chen Ming showed such terrifying and unbelievable power.

Even if Chen Ming were only a high-level Spirit Emperor, his cultivation speed would still be at least three times faster than Bai He's estimate.

The higher a Spirit Master's level, the more Spirit Power each level required.

At the Spirit Ancestor rank, some people could gain several levels in a year. But after reaching the Spirit King rank, some needed several years just to gain a single level.

As for the Spirit Emperor rank, Spirit Masters with poor talent shouldn't even dream of reaching it.

After all, in this era, the benchmark for high-level Spirit Masters was the Spirit Ancestor rank. A Spirit Emperor was already considered a powerhouse in a region of the continent.

For most Spirit Emperors, gaining even one level every few years was already a blessing.

"Greetings, Elder Chen…"

Bai He did not dare feel even the slightest dissatisfaction in his heart.

Even if he had no choice and had to completely cut ties with the Clear Sky Sect, Bai He did not want to think at all about what he would face if he broke the agreement.

Just as Bai He was about to say something else, Chen Ming raised his head and looked in one direction. Then he waved at Bai He.

"Take your granddaughter and hurry off to find somewhere to hide. I probably won't be able to look after you in the next fight. If we really start fighting, the aftershocks alone might kill you."

"W-what?"

Bai He turned his head in disbelief and looked in the direction Chen Ming was staring at, but he could not sense anything at all.

Qian Renfeng also frowned deeply, using every bit of his Spirit Power and spiritual power to explore that space and direction. Yet he still did not notice the slightest thing wrong.

"You really are a special human…"

Space slowly twisted, and Yao Ling, in the form of an ordinary-looking young man, stepped out from the void. He looked at Chen Ming with great interest.

His spatial power was an innate talent he had been born with. Even the Space Dragon clan could, at most, only stand on the same level as him.

After the age of the Dragon God passed, in all the years since he had slept and awakened again, aside from powerful fierce beasts like Di Tian and the Silver Dragon King split from the Dragon God, he had never met any being that could sense him.

For all these years, he had hidden his true body. Even the Silver Dragon King had never truly seen through his origin or recognized exactly what he was.

He had not expected that today, a young human Spirit Master would sense his fluctuations.

Even the Angel back then…

Well, when he had finally awakened from the spatial fragments of the Divine Realm several thousand years ago, Angel God had already ascended. He had never met Angel God face to face.

"You really are special. Aren't you afraid that after you exposed me, I would kill you?"

Yao Ling allowed Bai He to carry Bai Chenxiang far away. He only stood there and looked at Chen Ming, his eyes full of curiosity.

"If I hadn't exposed your existence, would you really have stayed hidden and pretended you weren't there?"

"The reason I sensed you just now was because my sixth sense felt a burst of killing intent. After that, I spread my spiritual power around me and finally locked onto this area of space with a slight problem."

"What a monster…"

The expression on Yao Ling's young-looking face did not change, but Chen Ming suddenly retreated dozens of steps. Scorching and icy Spirit Power erupted violently around him, using their conflict to interfere with the surrounding environment.

The space where Chen Ming had been standing collapsed without warning.

The ground, the sky, and the surrounding matter were all pulled toward the center. Although it did not create something as terrifying as a black hole, the objects within that space were still cut into countless pieces by spatial power. A large portion of them was even thrown somewhere unknown by the spatial force.

If Chen Ming had not been prepared and dodged quickly, then once he was hit by that spatial power, he would most likely have been in great danger.

His defense was indeed very strong. It was true that he could withstand the attacks of a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast head-on.

But the most ridiculous thing about spatial power was this:

It completely ignored defense.
