The young man in white armor, with a seemingly hasty strike, had unleashed the killing move of his signature blade technique, the Crescent Slash, a technique rumored to be able to cleave the full moon in two.
He hadn't anticipated his blade's aura being repelled upon contact with the thunderous storm.
By the time he attempted to dodge, it was already too late!
However—
His combat instincts and life-or-death combat experience were truly profound!
The moment he was engulfed by the thunderous storm, he frantically channeled his true qi, manifesting a white palace to shield himself.
This palace was an exact replica of the one within the young man's spiritual world, lifelike and seemingly tangible.
Sky Palace Guard.
This was the white-armored youth's strongest defensive maneuver.
Ancient legends of the outer realms spoke of a Sky Palace, where deities resided and offered protection to all.
A peerless overlord from a certain era in the outer realms had drawn inspiration from this legend to create this technique.
Previously, within his spiritual world, the white-armored youth had used the Sky Palace Guard to block Jiang Wuming's spiritual attack—the Five Elements Sword Array.
Now, in his moment of crisis, he had manifested a Sky Palace with his true qi to protect his physical body. How would it fare?
"Rumble~"
Accompanied by deafening thunder, Jiang Wuming's amplified thunder, a fusion of his secret power and true qi, violently struck the palace of true qi, instantly causing cracks to appear on its surface.
Subsequently, like the earlier Crescent Slash, the palace of true qi was sent flying into the air.
It felt akin to a wooden house being directly lifted by a hurricane.
Boom!
After soaring upwards, the palace continued to be assaulted by the true qi lightning, exploding with a resounding boom that echoed through the heavens.
"Pfft—"
The white-armored youth's battle blade slipped from his grasp. Bloodied, he was sent flying backward, spewing blood from his mouth!
He had consecutively employed his offensive move, the Crescent Slash, and his defensive technique, the Sky Palace Guard, yet he couldn't overcome a single move from Jiang Wuming. Instead, he suffered unimaginable grievous injuries!
Concurrently, as the thunderous storm dissipated, Jiang Wuming stood proudly, completely unharmed, enveloped by white true qi, resembling an immortal descended to the mortal realm.
"Uh..."
Witnessing this, the black-armored warriors behind the white-armored youth were utterly stunned!
Their eyes widened as they stared, disbelievingly, at the bloodied, retreating white-armored youth!
Indeed.
They couldn't fathom that the white-armored youth, whose strength had been elevated to the peak of a Three-Star War God, could be defeated by Jiang Wuming, who was only at the sixth stage of a Two-Star War God!
After all, even in the outer realms, such a feat would be exceptional for even the most elite prodigies!
Furthermore, the white-armored youth's combat instincts and life-or-death combat experience remained undiminished, despite his power being suppressed by the world's rules upon his arrival in this realm.
This scene was akin to a myth, leaving them in a state of daze.
Not only them, but all the Lou Lan soldiers, except for the Battle Dragon Corps led by Zheng Yuandong, Wu Yong, and Ning Feng, and the Four-Star War Gods on the two mountains, were also dumbfounded!
At this moment, they stared blankly at the young man standing proudly on the ancient battlefield and the white-armored youth spitting blood as he retreated, their hearts filled with the same thought: How did Jiang Wuming do it?
There was no answer.
At this moment, like the extraterrestrial black-armored warriors, they believed everything that had just transpired was like a myth!
As for the Battle Dragon Corps led by Ning Feng and the Four-Star War Gods on the two mountains, beyond their shock, they were momentarily transported back twelve years.
Twelve years ago, when Jiang Zhan slew the leader of the extraterrestrial enemy forces, who was suspected to be in the Heavenly God Realm, the expressions of those extraterrestrial enemies were precisely the same as they were now!
"What... what martial art is Wuming using?"
At the same time, Zheng Yuandong turned his head, looking at Wu Yong in surprise.
Even though he was aware of Jiang Wuming's true combat prowess and his past deeds, witnessing Jiang Wuming unleash his ultimate move and critically injure a white-armored youth with the strength of a Three-Star War God, he was still astounded!
Bang!
Responding to Zheng Yuandong was a muffled thud from afar.
On the ancient battlefield, the white-armored youth's body, like a kite with a broken string, fell heavily to the ground after being sent flying a considerable distance.
"Pfft—"
Upon landing, the white-armored youth's body trembled violently, and he spat another mouthful of bloody mist.
"You... you not only cultivate spiritual power and martial arts simultaneously, but your true qi also contains other energy—have you cultivated a Supreme Divine Art?!"
After spitting blood, the white-armored youth trembled as he looked at Jiang Wuming.
At this moment, any trace of the arrogance he displayed upon descending to this world was gone from his face.
That arrogance stemmed not only from his belief that no one, neither Jiang Wuming nor the vanguard, could match him, but more importantly, from his origin in the outer realms!
It was the arrogance and prejudice born from racial superiority and civilizational dominance!
In his and all the extraterrestrial warriors' eyes, this world, praised as the cradle of origin in legends, was now inhabited by a group of uncivilized natives!
If not for the suppression by the world's rules, preventing the powerful from the outer realms from descending, they could easily have flattened or even annihilated this world!
What is a Supreme Divine Art?
Upon hearing the white-armored youth's words, all the Lou Lan Legion soldiers, including Zheng Yuandong and Wu Yong, were taken aback.
They had never heard of these four words; there was no such thing as a Supreme Divine Art in this world!
And the black-armored warriors behind the white-armored youth were shocked once more!
In fact, the words spoken by the white-armored youth had a more profound impact on them than Jiang Wuming's earlier injury to him!
This was because they had indeed heard of the term Supreme Divine Art.
In the outer realms, Supreme Divine Art was a legendary cultivation technique, one that even those so-called peerless prodigies could not cultivate. Only deities could practice it!
And now, a native, in their eyes, had actually cultivated a Supreme Divine Art?!
Crack!
The next moment, before anyone could recover from their shock, Jiang Wuming strode towards the white-armored youth, his steps firm and powerful.
"You... who exactly are you? Are you truly a native of this world?!"
The white-armored youth was jolted awake by Jiang Wuming's footsteps. He once again voiced his doubts.
"Native?"
Jiang Wuming raised an eyebrow. His figure flickered, and he instantly appeared before the white-armored youth. Before the youth could resist or struggle, Jiang Wuming placed a foot on his head and said coldly:
"The natives in your eyes are the masters of this world!
As for me, I am merely one of them.
As long as your kind of extraterrestrial scum dares to invade this world, millions upon millions like me will pick up our battle blades and fight in a bloodbath!
If one comes, we kill one. If a group comes, we kill a group, until you fear to come!"
"How can this world have millions upon millions like you? No... impossible! This is f—ing impossible..."
"Bang—"
However, before the white-armored youth could finish his sentence, his head shattered, and he met a tragic end on the spot!
Even in death, he could not comprehend: If this world truly possessed millions upon millions like Jiang Wuming, how could the outer realms possibly win the war?
"Next."
Like crushing an ant, the young man, having publicly crushed the white-armored youth, swept his gaze across the group of extraterrestrial black-armored warriors.
There was no response.
The ancient battlefield was shrouded in deathly silence!
The one hundred and forty-nine extraterrestrial black-armored warriors stared in terror, as if facing a deity!
