The four great dynasties were established, and Wang Sheng was well aware of that, as well as the fact that Shuzhou had not been included in any of the dynasties.
After learning the news from Zhu Xiao, he, too, waited for the fate of Shuzhou, wanting to know how exactly the four great dynasties would deal with Shuzhou.
However, when the four great dynasties announced that Shuzhou had been divided among them, Wang Sheng naturally could not instantly know the news from the outside world, and he continued to cultivate his Inner Core Skill.
Yet at the moment the news was announced, he felt a tremendous crisis.
Without any hesitation, he tried to counterattack using his Qi Blood Power, but at this very moment, he discovered a severe problem: he was unable to use either Qi Blood Power or Blood Qi.
In the midst of battle, he had no time to contemplate deeply and instinctively used Divine Thought to protect himself.

Divine Thought could be used!
Wang Sheng formed a protective shield out of Divine Thought.
“Boom!”
A massive force hit him, sending him flying backward, but with the help of Divine Thought, he managed to stabilize his body.
The incident happened in the blink of an eye, and after successfully defending himself, the second attack did not come immediately.
Now he had the time to stop and see what exactly was going on.
First, he checked his Qi Blood Power!
He couldn’t use his power, which was the most serious issue.
Swiftly, he discovered the problem.
“Am I in a Spiritual Body state right now?”
With Divine Thought still operational, Wang Sheng understood his condition very clearly.
Without a physical body and merely as a Spiritual Body, this was why he could not use either his Qi Blood Power or Blood Qi.
“How could this be?”
But before he could take a good look around, another attack came.
This time Wang Sheng wasn’t so hasty; he was prepared.
“God-slaying Sword!”
During his check just now, he realized his Black Dragon Spear and Fire Transformation Pearl were gone, but due to the special nature of the flying swords, which could be spiritually manifested and were habitually spiritually cultivated, he still retained his spiritual power, and thus the flying swords were present.
The appearance of the God-slaying Sword seemed to take whatever was attacking him by surprise.
Swoosh!
The two flying swords crossed and slashed, and the connection between Wang Sheng and the swords let him know he had struck his target!
A heavy object hit the ground. Wang Sheng could now see what it was: it seemed to be either an arm or a tentacle.
And this arm was slowly dissipating, turning into specks of light and fading away. This was followed by a painful scream, which Wang Sheng felt was somewhat familiar.
Quickly, he located the source of the scream.
Surely it was an “acquaintance.”
The enemy was a hundred meters tall, crystal-clear like water, emitting a pure and holy aura, benevolent in appearance, as if countless rays of light were manifesting behind him, illuminating everything and shining upon all people!
“Heavenly Father!”
Wang Sheng never imagined that the one who had attacked him would be the Heavenly Father.
“It seems like you were the one who brought me to this strange place!”
Although he didn’t know why he had arrived here, the attack came as soon as he entered, so it wasn’t hard to guess that it was Heavenly Father who had brought him here.
Heavenly Father, of course, did not answer him and struck again directly.
Wang Sheng naturally wouldn’t just sit there waiting for death; he summoned the two flying swords.
“I’ve already seen your true form, why pretend to be something grand?”
That day when he used the “Shocking World Dragon Spear” to penetrate the Heavenly Father summoned by Qiao Nian, he remembered the disgusting figure all too clearly!
As a Spiritual Body, using Divine Thought to control his flight seemed even more intuitive!
In an instant, he had widened the gap between himself and Heavenly Father.
Unable to use Qi Blood Power or Blood Qi, close combat was not the best choice.
The two flying swords attacked the Heavenly Father directly, countless beams of sword light flashing, attempting to slice Heavenly Father open, but the Heavenly Father in this world seemed much more powerful.
Countless transparent, light-twinkling tentacles emerged from its body and instantly appeared before Wang Sheng’s Spiritual Body.
Wang Sheng was very vigilant, controlling the flying swords to attack Heavenly Father while also doing his utmost to defend.
As these translucent tentacles approached, they transformed into human-like hands, and within these hands, they held all sorts of weapons.
Swords, spears, swords, and halberds—they had it all, and furthermore, these weapons bore electric arcs, seemingly flickering with the light of heavenly thunder!
All these weapons struck down together.
Boom! Boom!
Wang Sheng’s Divine Thought Shield resisted two blows, and he realized there was a risk of the shield being torn apart.
This Heavenly Father was terrifying to an extreme!
Not only did it withstand the onslaught of the flying swords but also launched extremely dreadful attacks against him.
He might have withstood the first blow, mostly because Heavenly Father underestimated him, thinking that upon arriving in this world, Wang Sheng was at its mercy and had not used its full strength.
Now with Heavenly Father exerting its full power, Wang Sheng could hardly withstand it!
After all, this was Heavenly Father’s home ground!
Seeing that the attack was futile, Wang Sheng directly summoned his flying sword back to him, fending off attacks from the Heavenly Father as he looked for an opportunity to break through.
With the help of the flying sword, he managed to block all the hands conjured by the Heavenly Father, avoiding further attacks.
The Heavenly Father, seeing his tactic was useless, resorted to a new method.
Above Wang Sheng’s head, countless dark clouds suddenly appeared, within which seemed to swim a Thunder Dragon.
Boom—Boom—Boom!
Endless thunderous light streaked down from the dark clouds, and it was as if Wang Sheng were enduring a fearsome Heavenly Tribulation.
The dense thunderous light was terrifying to merely behold.
Not only that, but a figure emerged amidst the thunderous light. This figure was wielding a saber!
Wang Sheng used his Divine Thought and flying sword to block the incoming attacks, and before long, he clearly made out the true form of the shadow.
“King Yong Nian!!!”
Never had Wang Sheng anticipated that King Yong Nian would appear here.
“Something’s not right!”
He quickly realized something was off about this King Yong Nian; it seemed to be a puppet bearing King Yong Nian’s appearance, not a real person.
At that moment, King Yong Nian moved!
Wielding his saber, he chopped down at Wang Sheng, whose flying sword immediately attacked “King Yong Nian.” As if oblivious to everything, “King Yong Nian” continued his attack, and Wang Sheng’s sword cleanly beheaded him.
“That was too easy?”
Wang Sheng found it strange.
But quickly, another shadow appeared, and this time it wasn’t “King Yong Nian,” but a figure both familiar and foreign to him.
Seeing this figure, Wang Sheng’s complexion would have turned utterly grim had he not been in the form of a Spiritual Body.
“Sun Ji!”
Others might not recognize this person, but Wang Sheng was deeply affected by him.
This was the man who, after having arrived in this world, had been the primary reason for his decision to practice martial arts; it was he who wanted the original occupant of his body to visit the brothel.
A man from the Sun Family of Lijiang Town.
Seeing this person, Wang Sheng finally realized something.
“Have I been caught in an Illusion Technique?”
He had once wanted to cut down King Yong Nian, and he also wanted revenge on Sun Ji – that’s why they appeared before him.
The shadowy figure of “King Yong Nian” had weak combat power, likely due to the Illusion Technique.
This figure wasn’t summoned for battle!
“Uh oh!”
Boom!
A colossal, endless black spear surrounded by infinite thunder emerged from the clouds, poised to strike down.
The earlier shadows had only served to divert his attention, a method that proved all too successful.
The Thunder Spear was about to fall, emanating a terrifying essence.
Without any hesitation, Wang Sheng summoned all his strength. The two flying swords seemed to merge into one, combating the Thunder Spear under the control of his Divine Thought.
When the flying sword collided with the Thunder Spear, countless shock waves erupted, seemingly distorting the fabric of space itself.
However, it seemed that the Heavenly Father’s power had not exceeded expectations, and Wang Sheng’s flying sword could just barely hold up against it.
But it was just barely.
“I can only use Divine Thought; this greatly weakens my combat power!”
Wang Sheng had no choice. Although his use of Divine Thought was considered good, it was far inferior to his Qi Blood Power and Blood Qi’s strength. His combat power was probably only about forty percent of his peak, barely enough to resist the Heavenly Father’s attacks. If this continued, defeat was inevitable.
“No, can I really only use Divine Thought?”
Wang Sheng watched the Thunder Spear, about to breach his flying sword and Divine Thought defences, but thought that might not necessarily be the case.
“I seem to have fallen into a mental trap because I’m in the state of a Spiritual Body. The Heavenly Father has to use combat methods to deal with me, which means this world can’t be completely controlled by him – that is to say, combat in this world might be to the Heavenly Father’s advantage, but some things I can also use!”
With not much time left, Wang Sheng, without any hesitation, attempted to use Heavenly Thunder.
“Boom!”
A Heavenly Thunder appeared, directly striking the Thunder Spear.
Seeing this scene, Wang Sheng knew this method was workable – although he still couldn’t use his Qi Blood Power, anything summoned with spiritual power could be used.
“It worked. This is an opportunity, one I must seize.”
“Judging by how the Heavenly Thunder just behaved, even using it doesn’t inflict any damage on the Thunder Spear. That means summoning the winds and calling down the thunder are most likely useless. To add, the winds and thunder summoned with pure Divine Thought have no Qi Blood Power or ‘momentum’… That’s it, there’s still ‘momentum’!”
Whether Fist Force or Spear Force, they are real forces that don’t require Qi Blood Power to enact, a mysterious strength that was always there.
“As long as I can use it, there is a chance. If I can’t, then I’ll just have to look for an opportunity to escape!”
This was the first time Wang Sheng had felt so cornered; mainly, his sudden arrival here had caught him completely off guard.
Boom!
The Thunder Spear intensified, seemingly channeling all of the Heavenly Father’s power.
Boom!
The Thunder Spear, as if destined to annihilate the world, overpowered the flying swords. Infinite thunderous light engulfed the spot where Wang Sheng stood, turning the area into a sea of thunder as if intending to completely obliterate everything…
