"No wonder you could go toe-to-toe with Far when you were just a War God!"
Hong's eyes showed a hint of realization, and he couldn't help but sigh, "Your Domain affects even my second brother and me. The Monster Emperor won't be able to escape its constraints either. You truly are a force to be reckoned with, young one."
"You flatter me, Director."
Jiang Li said modestly.
"Haha, with your cultivation speed, you will surpass me and Thunder God in the near future. In the future, just call me Brother Hong, just like you do with Thunder God."
Hong was beaming, his eyes glancing at Thunder God with a hint of teasing.
His mood was really good at this moment, better than any other moment! Jiang Li's sudden emergence had undoubtedly brought humanity a bit more hope, but it was just a bit more hope!
His cultivation speed was unprecedented, a feat that had never been seen before. However, below the Planetary Level, there were many fast-cultivating geniuses. Very few, however, actually broke through to the Planetary Level!
But now?!
Jiang Li had just broken through, and he had already reached the third stage of the Planetary Level, as if no cultivation range could hold him back!
Give him some time, and wouldn't he be able to break through to the Star Level?!
"Second Brother."
Jiang Li smiled at Thunder God again.
Thunder God: "凸!!!"
"Old Li"
"It seems like just yesterday we were fighting alongside Inspector Jiang!" Wang Tong said, watching Jiang Li fly towards Mist Island with Hong and Thunder God, sounding like he was listening to something from another world.
"It was only two months ago," Li Kan said, feeling extremely absurd. "You even cursed him a lot back then…"
"Shh!"
While the various War Gods were discussing amongst themselves, the representatives from all the different factions were already suspended high in the sky, watching.
"Jiang Li is over there too? Is he going to team up with Hong and Thunder God?"
"It's not surprising; his strength can no longer be measured by common sense."
Far didn't mention Domain, but his eyes were filled with deep reverence.
"…Everyone, step back. This battle will likely be the strongest of our time. Neither the Hall Master nor the Beast Emperor's stray attacks are something we can withstand!"
Jia Yi gestured, telling everyone to retreat further.
And in the next moment.
"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"
Three sonic booms echoed as Jiang Li, Hong, and Thunder God instantly transformed into lightning bolts, plunging into the lake to begin the strongest battle of the era!
"Jiang Li is so fast!"
Inside the fighter jet's cockpit, Liu He and Beast stared at the imaging screen, watching the three figures descend into the lake like flashes of lightning.
In the blink of an eye, they had fallen two thousand meters.
"The giant tentacles have appeared!"
Liu He's eyes narrowed. The scene before him churned with waves. As countless bubbles erupted, a massive tentacle suddenly lashed out.
Facing the appearance of the tentacle emperor, Thunder God instantly accelerated. A faint blue light erupted from his body. He reversed his grip on the strange curved blade on his back, spinning like a top.
In an instant, nearly a hundred flashes of blade light shone, their speed impossible to follow with the naked eye.
The blade light was extreme, its sharpness even extending beyond the lake's surface.
Deep marks, as if cutting through water, appeared on the vast lake's surface.
"Not good, retreat!"
Amuhan cried out in alarm. The blade light swept across the sky. The air hissed, and the resulting gales tore apart the lake's shore. Some Planetary Level experts in the front immediately changed their expressions and swiftly retreated.
Even with thousands of meters of distance and the resistance of the lake water, they still felt the wind stinging their faces.
And the next moment.
A gigantic tentacle, splattered with blood, surfaced from the water.
"Another one bites the dust!"
Seeing this, the many martial artists wore expressions of joy.
However.
Inside the cockpit, Liu He and the Beast were holding their breaths, their pupils dilated!
In the image, the other three Monster Emperors had already charged out!
The lake bottom!
At a depth of nearly four thousand meters, besides the resistance of the water flow, there was also the water pressure.
Even though it had a negligible effect on Planetary Level powerhouses, in a clash of strong individuals, every slightest detail could influence the entire battle.
A behemoth, nearly a thousand meters long and with a diameter exceeding fifty meters, suddenly burst out from the crevices of the bedrock. Its giant tail, covered in dark purple scales, was like a black lightning bolt, instantly appearing before Thunder God.
"Open!"
In a flash of lightning, Jiang Li's eyes narrowed.
His Mental Power had already covered a radius of ten thousand meters. The moment the 'Peerless Sword Realm' opened, Thunder God's body moved in an 'S' shape. Then, with a burst of immense force from a single hand, he grabbed at the scales. With a leap, he landed on the massive serpent's body, running rapidly along the dragon-like snake's frame.
Planetary Level experts could indeed fly, but in terms of speed, using a point of support to run was definitely faster.
Boom!
In a breath, the immense force from the snake's tail lashed out of the lake, stirring up a hundred-meter-high wave. Sonic booms followed one after another. Even some of the War Gods watching the battle were knocked back, coughing up blood and tumbling from the impact of the wave's aftermath.
The surging waves forced a small delta into the lake shore.
"Too terrifying!"
Many of the council members lost their voices at this moment.
A jump in the Planetary Level First Order represents a geometric increase in both physical qualities and mental power.
If this is the case for humans, how much more terrifying are the monsters? At the same time.
Hong's Domain exploded, looking like a black sphere at first glance. He swung his silver spear and slammed into the Tentacle Beast Emperor's shell. The immense force sent out waves of terrifying water, like hundreds of cluster bombs exploding underwater in succession.
"Here they come!"
As Hong was continuously striking the Tentacle Emperor's shell, two terrifying figures also burst out of the rock layer. They charged towards Hong while a wide, vortex-like wave swept towards the three of them.
Even underwater, they could clearly hear the sound waves piercing their eardrums, even impacting their souls! "Mental attack?!"
"Child's play!"
Jiang Li snorted coldly, his figure flashing abruptly. Like a dragon playing in the water, he fearlessly charged forward with the Zhuxian Sword, meeting the sound waves head-on.
He had experienced this feeling before, the first time he encountered Phantom Demon Katelan. It was numb, or rather, he felt nothing.
If it were another type of attack, Jiang Li would still have to be wary.
But a mental attack?
To be frank, even a Star Level expert might not have a soul as strong as Jiang Li's, who possessed Mind Manifestation.
Seeing Jiang Li transform into a streak of white lightning and rush forward, Thunder God's pupils immediately widened. His entire body erupted with an extremely violent blue light. The curved blade in his hand drew a long, azure arc, slashing along the black Flood Dragon's body and up towards its head.
Roar!!!
The Flood Dragon, in agonizing fury, suddenly turned and bit towards its own body.
Swish!
Thunder God stomped heavily, his body retreating explosively. He instantly bounced back thousands of meters, and he burst out of the lake.
"Goddamn it!"
Before the martial artists watching from outside could react, Thunder God cursed and, like a meteor, crashed into the water again.
And at the bottom of the lake.
Jiang Li had charged into the sound waves. When waves of mental power crashed into the depths of his soul, they were strangely absorbed by the dark, hazy expanse. Jiang Li even felt a subtle sensation that the individual stones seemed to have expanded slightly.
However.
He didn't have time to dwell on it.
As he approached a scarlet-red earth dragon, hundreds of meters away, the 'Zhuxian Sword' in Jiang Li's hand instantly blazed with red light. Terrifying power erupted from his grip, pushing away all the water around him, forming a terrifying vacuum channel at the bottom of the vast lake.
Then!
"City-toppling Love!"
A vacuum appeared, and Jiang Li suddenly brandished the Zhuxian Sword. A strike of Destroying a City's power burst forth like a giant laser cannon!
With Jiang Li's Planetary Level, third-order strength exceeding a thousand tons, amplified by the Peerless Sword Realm, this strike reached nearly thirty thousand tons of force. Its power was comparable to the terrifying explosion of a small atomic bomb, something even a Monster Emperor couldn't withstand.
