Chapter 826: Chapter 627: Power Refinement_1

"Go." Qi Ming took Su Yu by one hand and Qin Jiagui by the other, kicked his feet, and instantly pulled them out of the secret room. Under everyone’s gazes, they soared into the sky and disappeared without a trace.

Qi Ming was excited, not because he was about to witness the birth of two Silver Soldiers, but because these were two Silver Soldiers he was going to help create, who had limitless future achievements, and they even had the most hope of reaching Immortal status.

For tens of thousands of years, Qi Ming had only been able to achieve Demi-god status and was unable to glimpse the true Immortal realm. He understood the journey’s hardship. It could be said that amongst the trillions of living beings, there might possibly be one such as him, a Demi-god, while the chances of achieving Immortality were even more indeterminably slim.

Although he might never achieve Immortality himself, witnessing the birth of two Immortals would also be an exhilarating affair.

That was the state of mind Qi Ming held at the moment.

With Su Yu and Qin Jiagui, wrapped in powerful force, they rocketed skywards, climbing unknowable heights in an instant. Soon, Su Yu and Qin Jiagui realized that above these clouds, there lay a vast expanse of sky with chunks of reef-like strange stones floating around.

At this moment, atop these floating reef stones, there were many figures stood tall—humans and human-like advanced intelligent beings. Su Yu and Qin Jiagui opened their eyes wide, totally unprepared for the existence of such a world above theirs.

Qi Ming swept his eyes around and soon barked, "Go there—" His figure darted through the air, and quickly he saw an uninhabited floating reef nearby. No sooner had he landed with Su Yu and Qin Jiagui than another figure descended with someone else right in front of them.

"Get lost!" The person arrived a step later than Qi Ming, but spoke with an extremely fierce tone. And it was a woman. Su Yu, sharp-eyed, noticed that she was a middle-aged woman in striking red clothes and skirt, holding the hand of a young man about their age.

Qi Ming’s brow furrowed, completely unprepared for such a domineering woman. Glancing around, he saw these floating reefs were continuously drifting, and at that moment, all within sight were occupied. Without another thought, the red-clothed middle-aged woman glared once more, raising her voice to scold, "Quick, get out of my way, I am from the ’Imperial City’."

Just then, another empty floating reef drifted nearby. Qi Ming couldn’t be bothered to argue over a mere woman and was about to steer Su Yu and Qin Jiagui to it. However, hearing the woman mention "Imperial City," he suddenly stopped, retorting coldly, "I was wondering who could be so rude and overbearing, it turns out you’re from the ’Imperial City.’ Well then, I refuse to move—"

As he spoke, he coldly assessed the red-clad woman in front of him.

Qi Ming had long been dissatisfied with the arrogance and unreasonableness of the "Imperial City," but since it had never crossed his path directly, he hadn’t had a reason to act. That is, until the recent fray between the "Imperial City" and "Demon City" which resulted in countless casualties from the Hundred Clans Settlement. It angered Qi Ming considerably. Seeing that this red-clothed woman was using the "Imperial City" to pressure him, he decided to confront her head-on.

"Damn you—" The red-clothed woman’s eyebrows shot up.

Coming from the "Imperial City," she looked down upon others as if they were subordinates. In her mind, any who heard she came from the "Imperial City" should naturally make way for her. She never imagined Qi Ming would dare to stand up to her. Enraged, she immediately extended her hand, fiercely aiming a slap at Qi Ming’s face.

Qi Ming could never have imagined encountering such a domineering woman, and he wondered how one of her age could still be so conceited.

"The ’Imperial City’... truly domineering indeed..." Qi Ming muttered quietly. For the "Imperial City" to have nurtured such an overbearing temperament in this middle-aged woman, it must reach an unprecedented level of arrogance. Just by that alone, Qi Ming silently shook his head. The Silver Empire had utterly decayed.

He could tell that although the middle-aged woman in front of him was not weak, she was definitely inferior to himself by more than a notch, yet she dared to be so arrogant towards him. What she relied on was nothing more than the power of the "Imperial City," which was unfortunate for her, as she had encountered him.

During the previous battle between the giants in silver armor of the "Silver Empire" and the dark giants of the "Demon City" that spill over to the Hundred Clans Settlement, Qi Ming had drawn his Netherworld Sword and killed more than twenty silver-armored giants and dark shadows. Now facing this red-clothed woman from the "Imperial City," he had no hesitations.

Thousands of years ago, eight thousand Black Warriors swept the world, unmatched in their might. What grandeur and spirit they had! Today, even with him being the last, the same pride in his heart had not diminished in the slightest. With a low chuckle, Qi Ming boldly stepped forward and launched a forceful palm strike.

"Boom!" A thunderous noise erupted as Qi Ming let out a ferocious howl, "Overestimating your capabilities—" He struck before the red-clad woman could react, his slap heavily chopping down onto her shoulder.

Qi Ming had shown some mercy, but even so, he sent the red-clad woman hurtling straight through the air in an instant. The young man who accompanied her exclaimed in shock, "Aunt Hong—" He glared fiercely at Qi Ming and Su Yu, before quickly turning to chase after the woman who had been sent flying.

The floating reef wasn’t large, and Qi Ming’s palm strike had sent the red-clad woman flying right off of it. Following her trajectory, she fell sharply downwards. The young man, while crying out for Aunt Hong, leaped off the reef. From behind him sprouted bronze-colored spines, attached to which were transparent thin wings. Utilizing buoyancy, he glided down, chasing after the red-clad woman and soon vanished from sight.

After sending the woman flying with his blow, Qi Ming retracted his palm and gave a faint smile, shaking his head and saying, "Senseless, had she not been a woman, that strike would have claimed her life. The Silver Empire... Imperial City, might be capable of intimidating others, but it surely doesn’t frighten me, Qi Ming."

As he spoke, his eyes shone with a peculiar gleam; he looked up into the void with a challenging expression.

Su Yu and Qin Jiagui noted Qi Ming’s demeanor, secretly admiring his domineering strength, which was completely unexpected. Based on what Qi Ming had said, the influence of the Silver Empire must be terrifying to the extreme, yet he seemed not to fear it whatsoever. Did he possess such formidable strength, or was there another hidden reason? Or was he simply being recklessly impulsive?

However, judging by his ability to grow the "Hundred Clans Settlement" to its present size, he was clearly not some brainless brute.

Regardless, the sheer arrogance and disdain he held for the world indeed won Su Yu and Qin Jiagui’s secret admiration.

One palm strike had sent the red-clad woman tumbling off the reef. From other reefs nearby, some people couldn’t help but look over in their direction. Many had heard the woman loudly claim to be from the "Imperial City," yet Qi Ming still showed no mercy in blasting her away. To these onlookers, Qi Ming’s audacity was silently commendable; had they been in his place, they might not have dared to offend the "Imperial City."

"Alright, this is the place. Sit down cross-legged. I’m going to draw the Power of the World to you. The process might be somewhat painful, but if you endure it, you will certainly enter the Silver Realm."

When Qi Ming spoke, there was always a sense of unparalleled magnanimity. Su Yu and Qin Jiagui nodded, then one after the other, they sat cross-legged on this not-so-large reef floating high in the sky. They had already been baptized by the Power of the World twice in their journey across worlds, so they were not that nervous. After seating themselves, they closed their eyes, attuning to the condition of their bodies, ready to face the forthcoming baptism of power in peak condition.

Seeing they were prepared, Qi Ming let out a soft howl and waved his hands continuously, releasing terrifying energy. Soon after, the floating reef once again soared skyward, flying higher into the heavens.

Ascending continuously, Su Yu and Qin Jiagui began to feel an increasing pressure on their bodies from the outside. As the reef rose higher, Qi Ming’s power completely enveloped the reef, allowing it to ascend like a flying vessel. As they rose higher, Su Yu and Qin Jiagui could finally feel the surge of the Power of the World. When they could no longer keep their eyes shut, what they saw were endless dark lightning bolts descending from the void above, with terrifying energy in every arc.

At this moment, in this vast sea of dark lightning, distant floating reefs could be seen from time to time. Atop each reef was a powerful individual, aiding their successors in receiving the baptism of the Power of the World.

"Haha, this is the Power of the World. It is said that anyone who can traverse the sea of dark lightning created by the Power of the World can completely leave this world behind. However, no one knows what lies beyond this world. At least in our current world, no one has the power to cross this sea of dark lightning. I can only bring you to the edge of this region," Qi Ming laughed heartily as he spoke.

"With the baptism of this Power of the World, you’ll quickly reach the Silver Realm. Otherwise, relying solely on self-cultivation, it might take ten or a hundred years to make such a breakthrough." Amid his laughter, he suddenly stamped his foot, causing the reef to shoot heavenward. He retracted his power, and almost simultaneously, Su Yu and Qin Jiagui roared. The dark lightning had already struck their bodies.

Qin Jiagui instantly transformed into a four-meter-tall bronze mechanical giant. He swung his arms up, attempting to resist, but the might of the dark lightning had overwhelmed him. Then, endless streams of the World’s Power turned into lightning, invading his body like thousands of serpents, gnawing at every inch of his skin.

Qin Jiagui screamed in agony, thinking this was nothing like the "bit of pain" Qi Ming had mentioned—it was as if his life was being taken from him. Fortunately, back in the Black Iron World, he had been cursed by the Black Iron Guardian, Beth Finley, and experienced agony daily. Due to this, Qin Jiagui had developed a superhuman tolerance for pain. Despite the constant screaming, he still managed to bear it without reaching his limits. (To be continued...
