Chapter 2016 - 1529–1530: Truly Meeting the Emperor, War God’s Eighteen Forms!

Land of Catastrophe.

Inside the Earth Crystal Core.

At this moment, the Four Great Family Heads are debating intensely, and frequently engaging in a heated exchange with Jiang Dali’s Divine Fragment.

"Damn it! Weren’t you supposed to breakthrough to the Breakthrough Realm immediately upon entering the Emperor’s Treasure Vault and provide the main brain with information? Now the main brain is about to lose contact with your true form. We suspect you’ve been deliberately delaying till now..."

"That’s right. The higher you go in the Human Emperor Tower, the more the Earth Intent cannot intervene. Right now, your true form is still fighting on the seventh floor, and the main brain’s ability to sense and capture the images there has already become very blurred. Once you reach the eighth floor, the connection is definitely going to be severed."

"If you’re afraid of losing the connection, then increase it further. You haven’t actively mobilized more Earth Intent and just say it’s not possible. Now, I suspect it’s not that you don’t want to put in more effort, but maybe it’s you who doesn’t want to comply with the agreement."

Jiang Dali’s Divine Fragment sneered coldly. Even at this moment, the connection to his true form has become very vague, contact becoming intermittent. He can only sense that his true form is embroiled in a fierce battle on the seventh floor of the Human Emperor Tower. It has even entered the Heart Body Twelve Times Strength Infinite state and used the Emperor’s Seal.

Clearly, the opponent on the seventh floor is incredibly strong, definitely comparable to the level of the Four Great Pillars of the Holy Dynasty.

The Four Great Family Heads are extremely angry with Jiang Dali’s Divine Fragment’s attitude.

"Bastard! If we mobilize more Earth Intent post-facto, it will exert pressure on the main brain. Once we are suppressed by Earth Intent, you aim to seize control of the main brain, right?"

"Don’t forget, your connection to your true form is weakening, this is precisely your vulnerable moment. We can now drive you out of the Earth Crystal Core."

"Oh, really?"

Unfazed, Jiang Dali’s Divine Fragment lightly and coldly laughed, "You can give it a try now, kick out my fragment. Do you think my true form in the Human Emperor Tower won’t settle accounts with you after breaking through to the Breakthrough Realm?"

The Four Great Family Heads were immediately speechless and silent, feeling a strong sense of frustration, depression, and intense apprehension.

Hesitation!

That’s precisely what they’re experiencing now!

Deep down, they very much want to kick Jiang Dali’s Divine Fragment, this ticking time bomb, out. But the more pressing reality is before them, kicking it out now would immediately cause the bomb to explode.

If they don’t kick it out, at least they can delay it and cooperate to reap considerable benefits.

The situation demands action, leaving them only one choice—to endure.

"So, have you made up your mind? It seems my true form has already finished fighting, and after proceeding to the eighth floor, it will definitely break through to the Breakthrough Realm. Your time for consideration is running out."

Jiang Dali’s Divine Fragment laughed heartily, his tone filled with mockery.

The Four Great Family Heads secretly cursed with gritted teeth but, after a mutual glance, decided to increase the mobilization of Earth Intent to ensure collecting specific data on Jiang Dali’s breakthrough to the Breakthrough Realm at the critical moment.

As long as this critical data is obtained, the main brain could in the future break through the barrier between Returning to Truth Realm and Breakthrough Realm. They will then be able to rely on the main brain to reach the Breakthrough Realm in the future, marking the most crucial step towards reaching the pinnacle of the Mixed Martial Arts World and mastering complete Earth Intent.

...

Meanwhile, inside the Treasure Hall on the seventh floor of the Human Emperor Tower.

Jiang Dali, who looked rather haggard and wasn’t wearing even a pair of briefs, stoutly bared his robust physique, encountered the equally haggard Dugu Qiubai once again inside the Treasure Hall.

"It seems your opponent wasn’t simple at all, managing to push you this far. Who is he?"

Dugu Qiubai adjusted his chaotic breathing, moving his gaze away from Jiang Dali’s robust figure and calmly asked.

Jiang Dali grunted, sitting cross-legged. With hands forming seals and then resting on his knees, he began to cultivate and heal, intending to say he encountered the Four Pillars of the Holy Dynasty two thousand years ago. But then he coldly replied, "Met the Regent King, that guy was already extraordinarily strong in his youth, not easy to deal with. Have you ever encountered him before?"

"So it was the Regent King..."

Dugu Qiubai was surprised, yet it made sense, nodding, "I thought you’d run into Qin Shi Huang before I did... But the Regent King, indeed, he’s very formidable, comparable to the current Qin Shi Huang. After all, he and the Emperor had the same opportunity in those years.

Having defeated him, did you obtain any corresponding treasures?"

After overcoming the seventh floor of the Human Emperor Tower, the rewards were no longer chosen in the Treasure Hall but obtained as opportune treasures from the defeated enemy upon clearing the seventh floor.

In the past, Dugu Qiubai defeated the young Emperor and acquired an Emperor’s Sword Qi.

However, Jiang Dali actually faced the Four Pillars of the Holy Dynasty from over two thousand years ago, not the Regent King, trying to probe Dugu Qiubai, but unthinkingly got questioned in return.

After defeating the Four Pillars of the Holy Dynasty, the opportunity reward he received was just four top-tier Cultivation Techniques, which weren’t much use to him,

immediately shifting the topic, "Do you know a lot about the Regent King and the Emperor’s past? What special opportunities did they receive in those years?"

Dugu Qiubai was surprised, "Having fought the Regent King, beating him as the only way to get past the seventh floor, couldn’t you discern from his Martial Arts what opportunity he received?"

"Martial Arts? The same opportunity as the Emperor?"
