Chapter 178 Great Divine Power

Beside the window in the restaurant, Xu Jingming and Wu Qi were eating and drinking.

"The food here is really good." Xu Jingming ate happily and drank another glass of wine, feeling refreshed.

Wu Qi ate the meat, looking at his young master with a smile.

Seeing his young master eating heartily and enjoying himself, Wu Qi felt genuinely happy from the bottom of his heart.

"This Uncle Qi has been following Chen Qi's mother, and later followed me." Xu Jingming had been with Wu Qi for over a decade. He hadn't spent as much time with his wife and daughter as he had with Wu Qi in those years.

"I never thought that I would spend so long with another person in the virtual world; it's quite a rare fate." Xu Jingming thought as he poured another glass of wine and continued to drink.

"Young Master, are you full?" Wu Qi asked. "Do you want to order more dishes?"

"I'm full," Xu Jingming said. After cultivating the divine body, he didn't need to eat or drink. If he wanted to eat, he could devour ten bulls. He ate and drank mainly to satisfy his appetite.

Wu Qi immediately sped up, finishing all the dishes before wiping his mouth and standing up. "I'll pay the bill."

Xu Jingming also stood up.

Having traveled around for so many years, Uncle Qi had always handled the trivial matters; he couldn't stop him even if he wanted to.

…

That night, Xu Jingming sat cross-legged on the bed, cultivating the Li Xing Divine Body technique. This was the most core divine power he had created over the past decade, combining numerous Subduing Demon Secret Methods.

Because he loved spearmanship at heart, Xu Jingming created many secret techniques. He put the most effort into the divine body, even naming it after his daughter, Li Xing. Of course, since they were all in the initial stages, Xu Jingming hadn't spread his secret techniques.

"My Visualization of Light has reached the sixth level; I can visualize a clearer and more vast Primordial Star. My Li Xing Divine Body… can also be further improved."

As Xu Jingming cultivated, the runes hidden within his divine body became more complex, and his body faintly emitted light. With countless runes combined, Xu Jingming's body resembled a Primordial Star.

Yes, the so-called Li Xing Divine Body was to transform himself into a Primordial Star!

The higher the level of visualization, the deeper the level to which the Li Xing Divine Body could be deduced.

Time passed by.

Organs, bones, muscles, skin, hair… new runes were condensing everywhere. After more than two hours, the newly condensed runes formed a new, perfect whole.

"My Li Xing Divine Body has improved again," Xu Jingming thought with joy. Suddenly—

Xu Jingming sensed something. He opened his eyes, runes swirling in his pupils, and his gaze pierced through the roof to see a scorching sun hanging high in the depths of the starry sky. Even in the night, the sun was still in the depths of the starry sky.

At this moment, this sun resonated with Xu Jingming's divine body. A strand of light flew out from the deepest part of the sun, instantly traversing the void and appearing in the room where Xu Jingming was.

Xu Jingming watched with open eyes as this strand of light, glowing with colorful radiance, captivating and suspended in the room, illuminated the interior.

This strand of light pounced and merged into Xu Jingming's body.

"Is this the power of the origin of heaven and earth?" Xu Jingming felt that after this strand of light merged into his body, it nourished the subduing demon magic power within him and also nourished his Li Xing Divine Body. Both his physical body and magic power began to evolve.

"According to the information recorded by the Primordial Research Institute, the Subduing Demon World was built by the Cosmic Human Alliance at a great cost. The so-called rules of heaven and earth are actually evolved based on numerous Supreme Inheritances," Xu Jingming thought.

"The more one conforms to the rules of heaven and earth, the greater the power of spells and divine powers. When a certain level is reached, one will gain resonance with heaven and earth, and be bestowed with the power of the origin of heaven and earth," Xu Jingming thought. "And I just received a strand of the sun's origin power."

"In the Subduing Demon World, there are countless divine powers."

"Only by gaining resonance with heaven and earth and being bestowed with the power of the origin of heaven and earth, does one have the qualification to be called… a Great Divine Power," Xu Jingming thought with mixed feelings. "I never thought that I would create a Great Divine Power."

In fact, there were quite a few like Senior Brother Gu Shan and some geniuses in the history of the Primordial Research Institute who had created Great Divine Powers.

But generally, reaching the level of Great Divine Power involved a lot of borrowing from the content of the Supreme Inheritance.

Like Xu Jingming, after breaking through in visualization, he almost completely copied the visualization diagram of the *Visualization of Light* into his own Li Xing Divine Body.

In the future, if Xu Jingming wanted to spread his Dharma, he would have to delete and simplify it to ensure that the Supreme Inheritance of the Primordial Research Institute was not leaked.

Of course, it was no problem for him to use it himself.

"This feeling…" Xu Jingming could sense that after being nourished by the origin power of heaven and earth, his subduing demon magic power had become much purer, and its power had also become much stronger. The Li Xing Divine Body had been comprehensively improved!

"If I were to fight Tianmo Yu Xin one-on-one again, I believe I could take him down within five moves," Xu Jingming thought.

Like Senior Brother Gu Shan, Senior Sister Mo Yu, and some of the most outstanding geniuses in history, who had mastered several Great Divine Powers when they were at the ninth level Subduing Demons, they possessed strength comparable to the ceiling of the Subduing Demon World.

Only now was Xu Jingming gradually revealing the brilliance of a peerless genius of the Primordial Research Institute.

Those who could be selected by the Primordial Research Institute and cultivated with the Supreme Inheritance were naturally far superior to their peers in the Subduing Demon World.

A man in green clothes walked on the street, looking at the buildings along the street, looking at the individuals on the street, and feeling their joys, sorrows, and happiness.

"Dad, I want to eat sugar pills."

"Okay, I'll buy them for you later."

"Dad, I want to eat them too."

"I'll buy them all!"

A couple held a child each, both children were elated, but the couple had an undisguised look of fatigue on their faces.

"Don't spoil these two children too much," the woman said in a low voice. "Tomorrow, we still need to buy rice for the family; we don't have much money left."

"It's okay, it's just a few sugar pills," the man said with a gentle smile. "To live life, you still need to be happy. The children are already suffering enough following us."

The woman sighed softly and nodded.

The couple gradually walked away. The man in green clothes looked at this scene, as if he were seeing the past.

"If my wife were still alive, we would also be so loving," the man in green clothes thought. "If my two children were still alive, they should be older than these two little ones and would also like to eat delicious things."

The eyes of the man in green clothes were full of reminiscence. He would think of those beautiful memories every day.

"It's a pity…"

The man in green clothes murmured, "They're all gone."

He walked step by step through the crowd and, unknowingly, entered a residence.

Inside the residence, figures immediately appeared, respectfully saluting him. Many of the figures had fanaticism in their eyes.

"Venerable One." "Venerable One."

These figures were extremely respectful; they were all *tianmo* (heavenly demons).

The man in green clothes walked to the edge of the pool, sat down casually, and said indifferently, "Have you found out the identity of that mysterious person?"

"No," a female *tianmo* said respectfully. "We have tried everything, but we can only determine that… that mysterious person's strength surpasses that of ordinary ninth-level Subduing Demons. As for who he is and where he comes from, we can't find out."

"The identity of that mysterious person is likely only known by those few ninth-level individuals in the entire Red Cloud State; we simply have no way to investigate."

"Venerable One, should we temporarily withdraw from the state city?"

All the *tianmo* were waiting for the Venerable One's decision.

The Venerable One had already surpassed the level of strength of normal *tianmo* and was unfathomable.

"Why withdraw?" the man in green clothes said. "We are building a country ruled by *tianmo*. The difficulties and obstacles we encounter will be a hundred or a thousand times stronger than what we face now. If we are even afraid of the obstacles in Red Cloud State, what can we accomplish?"

"Yes," all the *tianmo* listened obediently.

"Since we can't find out, then there's no need to investigate," the man in green clothes said with a cold look in his eyes. "The setup in the state city was prepared long ago; we can directly reel in the net."

"That mysterious person?" a *tianmo* asked.

"The most powerful *tianmo* from the seven states have gathered; can't we overturn a single Red Cloud State city?" the man in green clothes said indifferently. "According to the second plan, the *tianmo* from the seven states will be divided into seven teams according to their respective regions and simultaneously attack seven locations! Even if that mysterious person is powerful… he can only support one place at most."

"Go back and report to your respective leaders," the man in green clothes instructed. "I will send them the detailed plan on the night before the operation." "Yes." "Yes."

Six *tianmo* immediately saluted respectfully and quickly left.

The man in green clothes looked at the fish in the pool, his eyes without the slightest ripple. "Red Cloud State City is the first battle! No matter who it is, don't even think about stopping me." Since breaking through that layer of shackles and being bestowed by heaven and earth, he had already become invincible.

"Venerable One," a *tianmo* stepped forward and said in a low voice, "When the *tianmo* from the seven states take action, which location will the *tianmo* from our Red Cloud State attack?"

"Didn't they say that when the Subduing Demon Wu Ming fought the *tianmo* Yu Xin, that mysterious person made a move?" the man in green clothes said. "That mysterious person may have some relationship with the Subduing Demon Wu Ming. We will deal with this Wu Ming and lure all the Subduing Demons here. Especially that mysterious person; I want to see how strong the Subduing Demons can be under this heaven and earth."

"Yes," the *tianmo* obediently replied and retreated.

The man in green clothes stayed alone by the pool for a long time before saying softly, "Wu Ming, ah, Wu Ming, you are a very good Subduing Demon, doing many things for ordinary people. But, my mother, my wife, and children… were all implicated because of you!"

"I know I can't blame you for this. I haven't sought revenge on you these years."

"But to establish a country ruled by *tianmo*, all Subduing Demons are obstacles! Demons and Subduing Demons are naturally opposed to each other," the man in green clothes said with cold eyes. "Since we are going to kill all Subduing Demons, then let me personally send you on your way; it will also settle the grudges between us!"

The former Li Jin Ge killed all demons and Subduing Demons without exception.

He believed that a world without demons and Subduing Demons was the best world. But soon, he suffered a bloody nose, and he understood that he needed to unite the power of the demons! After all, as a *tianmo*, it was impossible for him to gain the trust of a large number of Subduing Demons.

In the process of growth, he was also getting stronger, and his obsessions were becoming more complete until he broke through that layer of shackles and reached his current realm.

The only thing he couldn't let go of now was his attachment to his mother, wife, and children.

"In a few days, it will be the anniversary of their death. Let's do it on that day," the man in green clothes said silently.

On the night before the operation, the *tianmo* forces hidden in Red Cloud State City received the order to act and would launch seven major battlefields in the state city. The battlefield launched by *Tianmo* Venerable One Li Jin Ge would be centered around the Subduing Demon Wu Ming.
