The white-armored youth was far beyond the peak of a two-star Battle God before he traversed the great curtain and arrived here.
His strength was weakened and suppressed by the rules when he crossed the great curtain.
From the moment he stepped onto this land, he had been trying to adapt to the rules, even during his fight with Wang Tuo.
At this moment, he had completely adapted to the rules. Even though he could not recover his true strength, he had raised his power to the first level of a three-star Battle God!
"My Lord is mighty!"
"My Lord has adapted to the rules and raised his strength to the first level of a three-star Battle God!"
"Haha, next, that native probably won't be able to withstand even one of my Lord's slashes!"
...
As the white-armored youth increased his strength to the first level of a three-star Battle God, the surprise on the faces of the extraterrestrial enemies vanished, and they returned to their previous arrogance and presumptuousness, laughing heartily.
Swish, swish, swish...
At the same time, the faces of the soldiers of the vanguard turned ashen!
Before, they were all excited and thrilled when Wang Tuo suppressed the white-armored youth, believing Wang Tuo would surely win.
As the battle progressed, they discovered that Wang Tuo, despite trying his best, could not even injure the white-armored youth, while the white-armored youth grew stronger with each passing moment.
This outcome gradually diminished the excitement and thrill on their faces.
At this moment, when they sensed the aura of the white-armored youth radiating at the first level of a three-star Battle God, their faces held no trace of excitement or thrill, only fear!
Because they all knew that a three-star Battle God could attack with true energy detached from their bodies, marking a watershed moment in the great realm of Battle Gods.
In the history of the global martial arts world, there had never been a two-star Battle God who had killed a three-star Battle God across realms!
Wang Tuo could not create a miracle!
After all, Wang Tuo, in a battle of the same realm with the white-armored youth just now, could not even harm him in the slightest.
Not only them, but the soldiers of the other nine regiments in front of the ancient city's east gate were also immensely shocked.
They had not expected the white-armored youth to have hidden his strength, but they all knew that the vanguard, led by Wang Tuo, could not possibly withstand a three-star Battle God!
Even Ning Feng and the other nine regiment leaders on the ancient city wall felt the same!
Although they did not know why Zheng Yuandong and Wu Yong believed that Jiang Wuming alone could replace the Battle character camp in assisting the vanguard, their expressions all changed when they sensed the white-armored youth's increase in strength.
Among them, Ning Feng directly requested to fight: "Commander, Chief of Staff, I'll go protect them!"
"No need!"
Wu Yong calmly rejected Ning Feng's request to fight.
Huh?
This made Ning Feng and the other nine regiment leaders stunned again. They looked at Wu Yong's calm and wise face, their hearts filled with the same question: What basis did Jiang Wuming and the vanguard have to resist a three-star Battle God?!
Despite their doubts, including Ning Feng, no one inquired further. Instead, they cast their gazes back to the battlefield ahead.
"Wang Tuo has comprehended the forbidden technique - God Slayer?!"
The next moment, they clearly saw Wang Tuo standing proudly before the vanguard's formation, his true energy surging, and a true energy battle saber manifesting behind him, floating in the air.
Upon seeing this, a regiment leader couldn't help but exclaim.
Forbidden Technique, God Slayer.
This was the ultimate killing move developed by Jiang Zhan after he improved the "True Dragon Treasure Technique."
In the divine war twelve years ago, Jiang Zhan used this very move to slay the extraterrestrial enemy leader, who was suspected to be in the Innate Realm, before the great curtain!
The forbidden technique God Slayer possessed unparalleled power, but it was extremely difficult to comprehend, and its cultivation conditions were incredibly stringent—only those at or above the three-star Battle God realm could cultivate it successfully!
This was why that regiment leader was shocked to see Wang Tuo using the forbidden technique God Slayer.
Hearing the regiment leader's words and seeing the true energy battle saber floating behind Wang Tuo, Ning Feng and the others were also shocked and somewhat confused: Did the Commander and Chief of Staff believe that Wang Tuo could kill the enemy at the first level of the three-star Battle God realm by using the forbidden technique God Slayer?
Impossible!
The next moment, they almost simultaneously negated this speculation.
Because they all knew very well that even if Wang Tuo had truly comprehended the forbidden technique God Slayer, the possibility of him using it with the strength of a two-star Battle God at the ninth stage was extremely slim.
To put it mildly, even if Wang Tuo miraculously created a miracle and unleashed that blow, he would suffer severe damage!
After all, all forbidden techniques had side effects, and 'God Slayer' was even more so!
After negating this speculation, they invariably turned their gaze to Jiang Wuming, their faces filled with even greater confusion!
Because reason told them that Zheng Yuandong and Wu Yong had placed their hopes on Jiang Wuming, but they simply couldn't figure out how Jiang Wuming, who was merely a nine-star martial artist, could possibly resist the white-armored youth who possessed the strength of a three-star Battle God at the first level!
The next moment, the answer was revealed.
On the ancient battlefield, Jiang Wuming took a step forward, appearing beside Wang Tuo, his true energy swirling around him.
As the white-armored youth elevated his strength to the first level of a three-star Battle God, Jiang Wuming not only appeared beside Wang Tuo immediately but also entered a combat state, his aura surging to its peak, and his true energy churning wildly!
Two-star Battle God, sixth stage?!
Sensing Jiang Wuming's strength, Ning Feng and the other nine regiment leaders, as well as the soldiers of the nine regiments before the ancient city, were all shocked!
They had never dreamed that Jiang Wuming, who was only twenty years old and originally just a nine-star martial artist, had transformed into a two-star Battle God at the sixth stage!
Huh?
At the same time, the white-armored youth was also taken aback.
After increasing his strength, the white-armored youth was about to launch an offensive, intending to kill Wang Tuo with a single strike. Suddenly, seeing Jiang Wuming's actions and sensing his aura, he stopped in shock.
He was shocked not by Jiang Wuming possessing the strength of a two-star Battle God at the sixth stage, but by the fact that Jiang Wuming had concealed his aura just moments ago!
Because, even in the world he came from, only a very few top-tier cultivation techniques could conceal one's aura!
"That native is actually a two-star Battle God at the sixth stage?"
"He... how did he conceal his aura?!"
At the same time, the extraterrestrial enemies behind the white-armored youth were also extremely shocked.
"I'll hold him off, vanguard, retreat!"
While the white-armored youth and the other extraterrestrial enemies were in shock, Wang Tuo's expression was unprecedentedly solemn. He roared, his eyes turning red, and frantically urged the true energy within him, intending to forcibly use the forbidden technique God Slayer.
"I'll do it."
Jiang Wuming glanced at Wang Tuo. He could sense that Wang Tuo's true energy was unstable and could be backfired at any moment.
"Jiang Wuming, although I don't like you, it's not out of jealousy, but because I believe you are not qualified to take over the Loulan Legion now, nor should you carry the God Slayer Saber—that is your father's battle saber, and it is the blade that guards Longguo!
But even so, I don't want you to die here.
Because such a death is meaningless.
And you are still very young!"
Wang Tuo's eyes were red, and his face was flushed. He spoke hoarsely. Seeing Jiang Wuming unmoved as he spoke, he roared, "Get lost!!"
"Pfft—"
As his voice fell, the true energy battle saber behind Wang Tuo suddenly dissipated, and he spat out a mouthful of bloody mist.
Before he could even unleash God Slayer, he suffered a backlash from his true energy, was severely injured, coughed up blood, swayed, and fell backward.
"Commander!!"
Seeing this, the other soldiers of the vanguard roared. Instead of retreating, they were about to charge toward Wang Tuo collectively.
However—
Just then, Jiang Wuming grabbed the spitting Wang Tuo and threw him towards An Lotu.
An Lotu instinctively caught Wang Tuo. The other soldiers of the vanguard stopped in unison, all looking at Jiang Wuming, as if asking: What is he going to do?
"Take your commander and retreat, that is his order!"
As if to respond to the soldiers of the vanguard, Jiang Wuming said in a deep voice, his tone unquestionable.
As his voice fell, the youth turned his back to everyone, his back to the ancient city of Loulan, and took a step forward, heading forward alone.
One person, one saber.
He intended to fight the enemy alone!
