Chapter 255: Barbarian Sorcerer (I)

Night fell.

Within a radius of 10 kilometers from the mouth of the volcano, due to the fact that the giant bird had been easily killed by the octopus monster, no mutant beast dared to draw near.

The giant bird was the king of this volcano. It was unknown if the octopus monster would return from the otherworld. The other mutant beasts did not dare to take the risk for the time being.

Chen Yiming found a spot on a mountain near the mouth of the volcano and stationed himself there.

His cultivation of internal force fusion was almost complete, so he decided to start cultivating on the spot while he waited for the octopus monster to reappear.

After all, it was unknown what level of creatures existed in the otherworld on the other side of the space-travel passage. From the records from the Osaka region, they were at least at the level of being a half-step away from the master realm.

As for the sacrificial spirit that only had unstable emotions, there was no reason for it to barge in alone and not be attacked by the creatures on the other side. Perhaps it would be overwhelmed in the otherworld and return to the blue planet soon.

…

The sky turned bright again.

The sun rose in the east, and the darkness was quickly dispelled. Another day had arrived.

Chen Yiming’s eyes were tightly shut as he sat cross-legged on a huge rock. He faced the morning sun and breathed in the fresh air. He exhaled a mouthful of turbid air that turned into an air sword that shot towards the mouth of the volcano not far away.

On the surface of the air sword, traces of internal force were wrapped around it and flickering with a golden light.

There was a loud crash.

The side of the volcano that was facing Chen Yiming collapsed inward. A large amount of rubble mixed with mud fell into the lava inside the volcano.

“Is this the qualitative change caused by mastering the fusion of internal force?”

Chen Yiming opened his eyes and looked at the half-destroyed volcano.

The turbid air that he had casually exhaled had become like a missile that exploded dozens of meters away. It had a hint of the ability to summon wind and rain from the legends in his previous world.

“Let me give it a shot.”

Chen Yiming clenched his right hand, and a golden sword of light appeared in his hand.

He slashed at the remaining half of the volcano, and the golden sword of light extended to 1000 meters. The surface of the volcano, along with a portion of the ground, was sliced off by his sword.

Fiery red lava flowed out of the hole and mixed with the soil, spreading for several kilometers before stopping.

Along the way, trees, grass, and all other combustible objects were lit up. Black smoke obscured the sunlight, forming a terrain that was filled with smoke.

“The attack range has reached the same level as the Sword Aura,” Chen Yiming muttered to himself as he looked at the destroyed volcano.

He could feel that the strength of his internal force had improved qualitatively again. It was already on the same level as the tree roots of the willow tree king that was at the master realm.

This meant that compared to the master realm, while he might not be able to use the external power to create an attack at the level of natural phenomena, it was already impossible for others to easily break through Chen Yiming’s protective internal force.

This way, with his Level-2 Undying Body talent, he was confident that he could deal with a true martial master.

After a while, Chen Yiming turned his attention to his spiritual world.

A brand new concept diagram covered the entire space. The concept diagram of the strength-based internal force formed the framework, and the concept diagrams of the 12 other internal forces were perfectly embedded in it.

The strength-based internal force in his body turned into a golden internal force after fusing with the 12 different types of internal force.

Its attributes were still mainly based on strength, but it also had the special effects of the other 12 types of internal force. Be it attack or defense, there was a qualitative improvement.

Not only that, but Chen Yiming also felt that the Sword Aura had become stronger. He had already reached the limit of the peak of the warrior realm.

“Congratulations, Master.”

When Chen Yiming’s aura calmed down, Asou Nishiko walked over with a smile.

It was impossible to hide one’s aura when one made a move. She could feel that Chen Yiming’s aura had become stronger when he attacked.

There was only one reason for that, which was that he had made another breakthrough in his cultivation.

“After today, if that octopus spirit still doesn’t return, we won’t wait any longer,” Chen Yiming instructed. He then sat down to explore the differences that had arisen due to his completion of the internal force fusion.

…

Chen Yiming was sitting quietly near the crater, cultivating alone.

Japan’s misfortunes were far from over. An uninvited guest had arrived in Nagashima City. It was the mutant stone golem that had escaped from the space-travel passage in Western Australia.

Nagashima City had once been razed to the ground by nuclear weapons, and the remaining nuclear radiation had yet to be completely eliminated.

The only good news was that the mutant stone golem had no interest in human cities. It randomly found an open area and fell into a deep sleep.

From afar, it looked like a stone mountain had suddenly appeared.

The Japanese royal family had to deal with the nuclear power plants on the floating island, and they also had to guard against Chen Yiming, an expert from the Daxia Kingdom. They had also yet to come up with a feasible plan for dealing with the aftermath of the incident in Osaka City.

At this time, if they provoked the mutant stone golem, neither the Japanese royal family nor the Nagashima region would be able to do anything. They could only arrange for the people from Nagashima City to be evacuated to the surrounding cities.

Near noon, in the space-travel passage inside the volcano, countless tentacles suddenly extended out and stabbed into the lava. However, the fiery red lava could not cause any damage to the tentacles.

The octopus spirit had returned in a panic. It didn’t bother to check if Chen Yiming was waiting nearby and just rushed out of the space-travel passage.

“The octopus spirit has returned again. As expected, the otherworld is not a place that one can enter as they please. There are either many creatures at the level of a half-step away from the master realm or creatures that are actually at the master realm following behind it.”

After he spoke, a golden sword of light appeared in Chen Yiming’s hand.

If he had yet to complete his cultivation of the internal force fusion, he might have observed the situation first to see if any creatures at the master realm would arrive on the blue planet.

However, there was no need to consider this now. At most, he would just have to fight the creatures from the otherworld.

“Boom!”

The position of the octopus spirit was where the space-travel passage was located. The golden sword of light smashed down at it from above.

The octopus spirit was instantly shattered into pure spiritual energy, and the streams of spiritual energy floated in the air. However, the golden sword of light seemed to be shrinking in response.

“It seems that internal force is inferior to the Sword Aura in terms of lethality against spiritual creatures.”

Seeing that the golden sword of light wasn’t very effective against the octopus spirit, Chen Yiming dispersed it and instantaneously moved in front of the gathering spiritual energy.

Before the Sword Aura slashed out, he could already feel the spiritual energy trembling.

To the octopus spirit, there was a tiger in front of it and a wolf behind it. No matter where it ran, there were existences that it could not defeat.

“One more strike.”

Chen Yiming slashed out with his peach wood sword.

At this moment, although the appearance of the Sword Aura did not change much and was only a little more condensed, its lethality towards spiritual creatures had increased by a level.

The spiritual energy that spread out was directly reduced by half before it could gather into the form of the octopus spirit.

On the surface of the remaining half of the spiritual energy, there was still a destructive force that was constantly preventing it from recovering.

However, when faced with the Sword Aura that had suddenly become more lethal, the octopus spirit could not do anything.

Previously, the Sword Aura could only destroy a small portion of its spiritual energy at a time. Now, more than half of it had been destroyed, and its death was almost decided.

“The third strike.”

Chen Yiming had no intention of holding back. He slashed out with another Sword Aura.

A white light appeared in the sky. The aura that belonged to the octopus spirit disappeared from the mouth of the volcano, leaving nothing behind.

“500 points?”

Veins popped out on Chen Yiming’s forehead as he looked at the changes on the martial arts talent panel.

Without a doubt, with the octopus spirit breaking through to half a step away from the master realm, most of the souls at the peak of the warrior realm that had been devoured by it would be used up.
