Qisha Daozi's actions were too conspicuous, alerting the other people engrossed in the battle.
They looked at Jiang Li, understanding that he was the contemporary Emperor. In the past, they would have definitely paid their respects to Jiang Li with great admiration. Now, though they still admired him and knew he was powerful, they felt confident in their own strength. They believed they could confront the extraterritorial demons. Under this mindset, their admiration for Jiang Li diminished.
Even the person who had taken over Li Lutong's body, Li Litong, thought the same. He was currently a mid-Combined-stage cultivator, unprecedentedly inflated, feeling that even if extraterritorial demons attacked, he could hold his own.
"Everyone, don't you want Emperor Jiang to guide you? This is a rare opportunity of a millennium!" Qisha Daozi, steadying himself after being thrown, incited the crowd, giving them a reason for their agitated hearts.
Jiang Li smiled and accepted, "Sure." He then said to Qin Luan and Song Ying, "The two of you can join them and spar with me."
Song Ying hesitated. She hadn't gained temporary power and swelled with pride, still holding reverence and fear towards Jiang Li, so she didn’t dare to act.
But Qin Luan understood that Jiang Li was using this opportunity to guide them. It was not easy to meet Jiang Li, and it was even rarer to receive his guidance. If they missed this chance, they would regret it for the rest of their lives.
"You foolish girl, Emperor Jiang wants to guide us, and you refuse! Song Ying then realized that Jiang Li was not speaking in anger but really wanted to guide them. She quickly pulled Qin Luan to join the eager crowd.
To everyone's surprise, Li Litong was the first to make a move. He had been kicked away by Jiang Li earlier and believed that Jiang Li had taken advantage of his realm, feeling quite annoyed. Now, having obtained power beyond what he had ever imagined, he naturally wanted to retaliate.
He imagined himself as an enemy of the world, killing countless enemies and gaining vast amounts of blood and strength, pushing himself to the pinnacle of the Combined stage.
At this moment, his blood surged behind him like a vast sea, breaking through the sky. The two blood blades from before evolved into two chopping knives, capable of splitting mountains and seas, displaying an astonishing momentum!
"Emperor Jiang, please instruct me!" Jiang Li no longer maintained his mid-Combined-stage strength and reverted back to his original level, delivering another kick.
The two forces intersected, pressing against Li Litong's chest, attempting to protect himself, but he was still sent flying far away by Jiang Li.
"Brother Litong, I'll assist you!" A genuine four-clawed dragon charged into Li Litong's sea of blood, instantly causing a surge of dragon blood. His dragon power surged, even regrowing the horn that had been broken off.
The dragon's physical body was robust, with vigorous blood and now in a sea of blood, pushing his physical strength up a level.
Li Litong once again condensed his blood into two knives and attacked Jiang Li with the true dragon.
Jiang Li didn't hold back; he seized the blood knives and effortlessly grabbed Li Litong's shoulders, gently disarming him and then kicking him away.
Li Litong flew out, crashing into three large mountains before losing his strength and fainting.
Facing the fierce attacks of the four-clawed true dragon, Jiang Li punched, crushing three scales, causing the true dragon to wail in pain.
"The human clan also has methods of refining the body. Mount Sumeru has the Dragon Tiger Arhat who subdued the true dragon, and the Emperor's Hall has Zhang Konghu who can resist the Thunder Tribulation with his physical body. Why bother forcing an outside clan's body?" Jiang Li gripped the dragon horn and flung the true dragon into the crowd, causing chaos.
After being guided by Jiang Li, the true dragon awakened to the truth. Previously, in his pursuit of high purity Dragon and Jiao blood, he wanted to transform into a dragon-man, but human and dragon bodies are constructed differently; it's impossible for them to completely merge.
As he transformed from dragon to human, he deeply bowed to Jiang Li, determined to leave the secret realm and reconsider the path of body refinement.
People had just fought each other and knew that Li Litong and the four-clawed golden dragon were extremely powerful. Among them, they could make it into the top ten. However, even so, they were still defeated by Jiang Li in one move.
They retracted their pride, knowing that it was impossible to defeat Jiang Li with just one or two people. They couldn't even make him move his feet. Only by attacking together did they have a chance to defeat Jiang Li.
"We don't need to talk about morality when dealing with the Emperor; let's attack together!" Someone in the crowd shouted, and those about to act subconsciously used their strongest skills to attack Jiang Li together.
Qin Luan observed clearly; it was Qisha Daozi who had just shouted, but after doing so, he hid in the crowd, pretending he had nothing to do with it.
The golden sun blazed, evaporating the moisture in the air instantly!
The Kun fish leaped out from the sea, transformed into a golden roc, with all of its 108,000 golden feathers fluttering. It initiated the profound and ancient runes, with a sharp beak capable of piercing through a mid-Combined-stage cultivator!
The Dharma Heaven and Earth Humans stood tall, their iron fan-like hands pressing down, as if the sky was collapsing!
Qisha Daozi spat out a mouthful of blood, activating seven Immortal Swords, with earth, fire, wind, and thunder revolving on the tips as if they were reshaping the world!
The person in control of the Thunder Tribulation had the heavens in their mouth, commanding the ascension tribulation clouds to gather in the sky above Jiang Li, with a dazzling silver thundercloud mightily inducing the heart demons of the recipient of the tribulation, causing them to succumb to the demons and become weary of resisting the heavenly thunder, ultimately ending up in a sorry state!
The person in control of the Thunder Tribulation was believed to be the strongest person within the crowd, as even in the recent chaotic battle, they managed to gain the upper hand against multiple opponents and mock the weaknesses of others at will.
Seeing the diverse and numerous attacks, Jiang Li smirked, finding the group of lively youngsters quite interesting.
"I envy you all for still having dreams. As for me, I can't think of anything stronger than myself," sighed Jiang Li, as if completely disregarding the ongoing attacks and wallowing in self-pity.
Although he was in a dream, Jiang Li did not become stronger. The reason behind this was that he could not think of any changes that would make him stronger than he was now. While he was aware of things like bifolio talismans and mathematical rate weapons, he knew that merely understanding the concepts was not enough; he needed to understand the principles behind them. However, he was not a genius physicist and did not understand these things.
Regarding becoming an immortal, he was only a step away from entering the immortal realm and transforming his spiritual energy into immortal power. However, he couldn't imagine what kind of power immortal energy was like.
Furthermore, even if a true immortal came, he was confident in defeating them.
In terms of which race to become, since he had reached the Great Vehicle stage, the title of the strongest race had always fallen on the human race, and no one had been able to challenge this.
When it came to mastering divine abilities, he could imagine things like using spatial tricks and using beans as soldiers, but for him, these were more like life skills, making it more convenient to store and transport items, rather than making him stronger.
As for mastering immortal tools, he felt that his giant halberd stored in the storage ring was the most useful, but as there was no enemy worth using it on, the halberd had already collected dust.
As for mastering rules, crossing the Thunder Tribulation was as easy as taking a bath. However, temporal and spatial rules were too difficult for him to grasp.
"What a pity," Jiang Li exclaimed.
Upon hearing the Emperor's lament, the people immediately intensified their attacks, and even the highly admired Song Ying felt the urge to strike.
It was extremely irritating!
