Chapter 209: Then…
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Aeonians were indeed one of the top large clans in the current Black Mist Zone.
However, the larger the clan, the more internal conflicts there were.
At this moment, Li De revealed Roda’s background—a rich young man from a destroyed family.
Of course, Roda’s background was not the important part.
What was important was that Roda had somehow obtained information about the existence of the Jing God’s inheritance in the Flame Clan Ruin… and he even knew the exact location of the Jing God’s inheritance!
This was something that no one else knew!
And it was also what everyone else wanted!
“Tell me the exact location of the Jing God’s inheritance and I’ll let you off. Oh, by the way, don’t tell me that the Jing God’s inheritance is right here in this ancestral hall, or I might get angry…”
Li De said with a smile, as if he was confident in defeating Roda.
Roda also smiled and replied, “First of all, the Jing God’s Inheritance is right here. If you want it, come in and get it yourself!”
“And then…”
With that said, Roda turned to look at the seven people behind him.
“I want to know which one among you betrayed me.”
It was impossible for Li De and the others to arrive so quickly, so coincidentally.
Therefore, there was only one explanation—someone had informed Li De in advance.
No one responded…
Everyone just looked at each other with innocent expressions.
Li De continued, “Roda, I’m giving you a chance to live, so you have to seize it… Anyone would know that you couldn’t bring this group of people directly to the location of the Jing God’s inheritance. So, I’ll give you another chance!”
“Where exactly is the Jing God’s inheritance?!”
There was a faint hint of impatience and anger in Li De’s voice, which made Roda smile mockingly, “Make a guess?”
Li De spread his hands, and his anger instantly disappeared. He also returned a mocking smile, “Forget it, I don’t want to guess…”
“How about this? We’ll talk about this after I capture your sister.”
Seeing Roda’s expression suddenly change, Li De let out an arrogant laugh.
“You sneaky little rat, you thought you were hiding well! I, Li De, am not someone that a martial arts enthusiast like you can fool!”
In the underground of King Lin’s secret residence.
Lu Ming pondered as Evil Spirit raised the question, and Roxin’s expression was grim.
Until Roxin spoke softly, “Why would 1 have any money?”
On the night of our family’s annihilation, how could my brother and I who only cared about escaping, bring any treasure?
After Roda became the City Lord of Archean City, he did not wantonly accumulate wealth. He only specialized in martial arts and did not accumulate much wealth at all.
From Evil Spirit’s words, it seemed that someone had offered an astronomical price for Roxin’s capture. Needless to say, Roxin definitely could not come up with that amount.
After Roxin said this, Lu Ming fell silent—he was, in fact, a poor soul.
Instead, Evil Spirit sighed, “Then, there’s nothing 1 can do.”
With that said, he walked forward and looked at Lu Ming, “Are you going to stop me?”
Lu Ming remained silent and only stood in front of Roxin.
This made Evil Spirit frown.
“Well, although things have become a little tricky… I have no choice… The price Li De offered is worth tampering with experts of the same level!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful aura suddenly burst forth!
The most prominent characteristic of a Spirit Realm expert was the innate spiritual pressure.
Roda had also explained before that the effect of spiritual pressure was simple and crude—it intimidated everyone below the Spirit Realm.
Mortal Realm experts had the possibility of exploding to death on the spot under the spiritual pressure. Even if they did not die, they would be completely immobilized.
The Physique Realm could resist the influence of spiritual pressure to some extent, but they could only resist, and not become immune.
Under the intimidation of the spiritual pressure, even a level nine Physique Realm expert would still be significantly weakened!
For example, the current Roxin…
The moment the Evil Spirit released his spiritual pressure, Luo Xin’s legs went limp on the spot and she fell to the ground helplessly.
Even among Spirit Realm experts, spiritual pressure was also a crucial factor in determining victory or defeat—the stronger the spiritual pressure, the more advantageous it was. It could predict the enemy’s initiative and even interfere with the enemy’s actions.
In summary, the Spirit Realm was a new level completely different from the Mortal Realm and the Physique Realm!
And Lu Ming was not in the Spirit Realm…
Even with high attributes, the level difference was indeed significant.
When Evil Spirit unleashed his spiritual pressure, Lu Ming felt a heavy pressure on him. His body stiffened, and even his mind felt a bit clouded, making him slightly disoriented.
Watching Evil Spirit approaching step by step, Lu Ming quickly calculated in his somewhat foggy mind.
“My current three-dimensional attributes are 2,000 points.”
“And the standard three-dimensional attributes for a level nine expert of the Physique Realm are 256 points.”
“”If we calculate based on the attribute doubling theory, a Spirit Realm level one expert would have around 512 points… It seems weaker than me, but whether the transition from Physique Realm to Spirit Realm follows the attribute doubling theory is uncertain, and I don’t know much about the Spirit Realm.”
“Even if a Spirit Realm level one expert has only 512 points in attributes, right now, I’m disturbed by the spiritual pressure, and I can only unleash 60% of my strength, which is about 1200 points of attribute for combat performance…”
It seemed like Lu Ming had the advantage, but this calculation did not account for the effects of Body Forging Techniques and Source Power Skills.
Moreover, a one-fold attribute difference… might make others feel secure, but for Lu Ming, a mere one-fold attribute difference did not make much of a difference.
At most, it could be called “a slight advantage”!
These thoughts flashed through Lu Ming’s mind.
In the next second, Lu Ming nodded gently, “A Spirit Realm level one is a formidable opponent for me in my current Self-Limitation State.”
“Then…”
With a thought, Lu Ming’s body immediately began to expand!
Evil Spirit slowed his pace.
In a battle between Spirit Realm experts, spiritual pressure was often used to probe the opponent’s strength.
However, what puzzled Evil Spirit was that the “Spirit Realm” opponent on the other side, after being affected by his spiritual pressure, did not display any signs of spiritual pressure. Instead, he seemed to be muttering something to himself…
This made Evil Spirit raise his guard.
He was not in a hurry to attack Lu Ming because it was very difficult to determine the outcome of a battle between Spirit Realm experts in one single move. There were too many life-saving moves for Spirit Realm experts.
The most crucial aspect was ensuring one’s own safety, rather than defeating the opponent.
However, Evil Spirit did not know that his cautious approach was inadvertently making him lose his footing completely!
A loud rumbling sound suddenly erupted.
Evil Spirit’s gaze sharpened as he looked towards the source of the sound—it was Lu Ming’s heart!
As Lu Ming’s heart beat, his blood flow began to accelerate!
In the next moment, Lu Ming’s body began to expand rapidly in Evil Spirit’s eyes. His bones cracked and his muscles grew. Flis entire body became larger and taller. Correspondingly, Evil Spirit’s view of Lu Ming changed from looking down to looking up.
In just a second, Lu Ming’s appearance had completely transformed.
His entire body was still humanoid, but his height had soared to eight meters.
Striped muscle tissue covered his entire body, yet it did not appear bloated. Instead, It had a perfect golden ratio!
His clothing was completely torn apart by the sudden change in his body, and in the dim light, his streamlined muscles and perfect physique made Evil Spirit and Luo Xin feel as though the figure before them was not a human but an exquisite art sculpture.
Evil Spirit suddenly narrowed his eyes.
“Transformation ability? This might be a bit troublesome…”
However, he did not know that this was Lu Ming’s standard form.
In other words… his current physical form was Lu Ming’s true appearance!
