I am submissive in Journey to the West, I strike hard at the gods

"Another arrogant brat who doesn't know his place, daring to challenge the Secret Realm Tower. Watch me beat you to death with one blow!"

The black bear demon roared and swung his spiked club, bringing it crashing down on Jiang Wang with a whistling sound.

The spiked club contained immense power and divine force; wherever it struck, the air itself was compressed and burst open.

Jiang Wang remained expressionless, standing motionless as the spiked club struck his chest.

With a loud "bang," the spiked club slammed into Jiang Wang's chest, producing a dull thud and sending sparks flying.

The black bear demon felt a sudden numbness in his arm, as if his spiked club had struck an incomparably hard innate treasure, causing his tiger's mouth to split open and bleed profusely.

"what?!"

The black bear spirit stared wide-eyed at Jiang Wang, his face filled with disbelief. "How can your body be so hard?"

His blow would have seriously injured even a cultivator at the mid-stage of the second level of the Strength Saint realm, but Jiang Wang was completely unharmed and didn't even move a step.

Jiang Wang slowly raised his hand, grasped the shaft of the spiked club, and applied slight force.

With a crisp "crack," the incredibly hard spiked club was instantly snapped in two, sending splinters flying everywhere.

"impossible!"

The black bear spirit was so frightened that it turned to run away.

He could sense the terror of Jiang Wang; it was something he couldn't possibly contend with.

Jiang Wang's eyes turned cold, and with a swift movement, he appeared behind the black bear demon, raising his hand to strike its back.

The black bear spirit let out a shrill scream, its body flying out like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the wall of the stone chamber. It spat out a mouthful of blood, its breath instantly weakening, and it lost its fighting ability.

"First level, challenge successful."

The cold voice rang out again, and the wall on one side of the stone chamber slowly opened, revealing a staircase leading to the upper level.

Jiang Wang didn't linger. He turned around, stepped onto the stairs, and headed towards the second floor.

He could feel the increasing pressure on the steps, and with each step he took, he had to endure even greater pressure, which was a great test for the cultivator's physical body and divine power.

However, this pressure was nothing to him. He walked steadily and soon arrived at the second level.

The second-level stone chamber was larger than the first, with speed-related runes carved all over its walls, and a rich spatial energy permeating the air.

In the center of the stone chamber, a woman dressed in black stood quietly. She was slender with a cold face and sharp eyes. A faint spatial power surrounded her, and her cultivation had reached the peak of the second level of the Power Saint realm.

"The second-level tower guardian, Shadow Princess, is at the peak of the second level of the Power Saint realm."

A cold voice rang out.

Yingji looked up at Jiang Wang, her eyes filled with surprise: "A Saint of Strength at the first level, you actually managed to pass the first level so quickly? It seems you have some skill."

Her voice was cold and clear, like ice shattering.

Ying Ji snorted coldly, her figure instantly disappearing from the spot, turning into a black shadow. With the support of spatial power, her speed reached its limit. A slender dagger appeared in her hand, and she stabbed towards Jiang Wang's neck.

The dagger contains a rich spatial power, capable of easily tearing through space, and is extremely powerful.

Jiang Wang's eyes narrowed. Although he couldn't see Ying Ji's figure, he could pinpoint her location with his keen senses.

He dodged the dagger to the side, and at the same time raised his hand and struck the empty space beside him.

With a muffled thud, Ying Ji's figure was forced to appear, her face slightly pale, clearly shaken by Jiang Wang's palm strike.

"I didn't expect you to have such keen senses."

A hint of surprise flashed in Shadow Princess's eyes, and she launched another attack.

Her figure flickered, constantly darting through the void, her daggers like venomous snakes emerging from their holes, stabbing towards Jiang Wang's vital points, each strike containing the power to tear through space.

Jiang Wang responded calmly, his footwork shifting to avoid each of Ying Ji's attacks.

Although his physical body was strong, he did not want to be cut by the dagger. After all, Shadow Princess's dagger contained spatial power. If he was stabbed, even if his physical body could resist, he would inevitably suffer the backlash of spatial power.

The two engaged in a fierce battle in the stone chamber. Ying Ji was extremely fast, her figure elusive and difficult to catch; Jiang Wang, on the other hand, relied on his keen senses and powerful physique to calmly deal with the situation and not be at a disadvantage.

After half an hour of fierce fighting, Shadow Princess's aura gradually weakened. Her spatial power was greatly depleted, and her speed also slowed down.

That's the end of it.

Jiang Wang's eyes turned cold. He pushed off with his feet and instantly appeared in front of Ying Ji, raising his hand to strike her chest.

Shadow Princess let out a muffled groan, her body flying backward and crashing heavily into the wall. The dagger slipped from her hand, her aura completely weakened, and she lost all fighting ability.

"Second level, challenge successful."

A cold voice rang out, and the wall on the other side of the stone chamber slowly opened, revealing a staircase leading to the third floor.

The pressure on this level of stairs was several times stronger than that on the second level, and there was even a faint power of the Great Dao permeating the air. Clearly, the guardian of the tower on the third level was far stronger than the first two levels.

Jiang Wang took a deep breath and stepped onto the stairs.

With each step he took, he could feel the terrifying pressure constantly squeezing his body, and the divine power within him began to stir slightly.

However, he did not back down. He steadily climbed upwards step by step, and his innate treasure-level physical body withstood the pressure. He quickly reached the third level.

The third-level stone chamber was extremely spacious, like a world unto itself. The walls were covered with thick runes, and the air was filled with a strong sense of power. The floor was paved with huge blue stones, covered with traces of battle, clearly indicating that countless fierce battles had taken place here.

In the center of the stone chamber, a woman dressed in a blue dress stood quietly. The woman had a dignified face and a cold temperament. A terrifying power surrounded her. Her cultivation had reached the peak of the third level of the Power Saint, and she was only one step away from the Great Dao Saint.

She held a pair of stone gauntlets in her hands, the gauntlets engraved with ancient runes and exuding a domineering power; she was none other than Lady Shiji.

"The third-level tower guardian, Shi Ji, is at the peak of the third level of the Power Saint realm."

A cold voice rang out.

Shi Ji looked up at Jiang Wang, her eyes filled with scrutiny: "You're a Saint of Strength, level one, and you've managed to reach the third level. Your physical body is ridiculously strong."

She could feel the terrifying physical power within Jiang Wang's body, which was stronger than any other power master she had ever seen.

Jiang Wang said, "Make your move. I want to pass the third level."

Shi Ji smiled faintly, her smile carrying a hint of disdain: "Young man, it's good to have courage, but being too arrogant will only lead you to your own demise."

I advise you to give up voluntarily, lest I beat you to death and you won't even have a chance to be reincarnated.

Her tone was calm, yet it carried absolute confidence. Her cultivation level as a Saint at the peak of the third level of the Heavenly Realm gave her enough confidence to say these words.

"Whether we can win or not, we'll know once we try."

Jiang Wang spoke firmly, his physical strength quietly circulating, a faint golden light emanating from his skin, and the aura of a supreme innate treasure spreading out.

A hint of surprise flashed in Shi Ji's eyes: "A physical body at the level of a Primordial Treasure? No wonder you dare to be so arrogant. However, even if your physical body is comparable to a Primordial Treasure, it still can't withstand my Shattering Stone Fist!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Shi Ji exerted force with her feet, and her figure instantly appeared in front of Jiang Wang. The stone gauntlets in her hands burst out with a dazzling light, and a domineering force was gathered on them, smashing towards Jiang Wang's chest.

This punch contained the essence of Shi Ji's life's cultivation, enough to shatter mountains and rivers and tear apart heaven and earth. Even a cultivator at the first level of the Great Dao Saint realm would have to avoid its sharp edge.

He could feel the terror of that punch. If he were hit head-on, even if his physical body was at the level of a supreme innate treasure, he would probably be injured.

He moved his feet, leaned back slightly, and at the same time raised his hand to meet Shi Ji's fist with a palm strike.

With a loud "bang," fists and palms collided, and terrifying power instantly erupted, forming a huge shockwave that spread outwards.

The bluestone floor in the stone chamber instantly cracked open with huge fissures, and the runes on the four walls began to flicker erratically, as if they were about to shatter at any moment.

Jiang Wang felt a tingling sensation in his arm, and a domineering force surged into his body through his arm, where it was forcibly digested by his physical body.

He took three steps back before regaining his balance, his face slightly flushed.

Shi Ji also took two steps back, a hint of shock flashing in her eyes: "You're actually alright? Your physical body is even stronger than I imagined!"

Even a cultivator at the mid-stage of the third level of the Power Saint realm would be seriously injured by her punch, but Jiang Wang only took three steps back, his face slightly flushed, which was beyond her expectations.

"Again!"

He pushed off with his feet and instantly appeared in front of Shi Ji, raising his hand to strike her head.

The palm strike contained a powerful physical force, making it extremely domineering.

Shi Ji snorted coldly and raised her hand to block.

Fist and palm collided again, and terrifying power erupted once more.

The two engaged in a fierce battle in the stone chamber, their fists and palms clashing, each collision producing a deafening roar. The floor of the stone chamber continued to crack, and the runes on the walls gradually faded.

Shi Ji's Shattering Stone Fist was incredibly domineering, each punch containing the power to tear apart heaven and earth, constantly smashing towards Jiang Wang's vital points; Jiang Wang, relying on his innate treasure-level physical body, withstood Shi Ji's attacks, while using his keen senses and agile movements to look for opportunities to counterattack.

After an hour of fierce fighting, both of them were panting heavily.

Several faint red marks appeared on Jiang Wang's body, marks left by Shi Ji's fist wind. Although he was not injured, he still felt the terror of Shi Ji.

Shi Ji's condition was not good either. Her arms trembled slightly, the light on her gauntlets gradually dimmed, her internal strength was greatly depleted, and her face turned pale.

"I never imagined that I would be forced to this point by a cultivator at the first level of the Strength Saint realm."

Shi Ji looked at Jiang Wang with a serious expression, her tone tinged with resentment, "Your physical body is truly a monster."

Jiang Wang wiped a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth and said calmly, "You are also very strong."

However, I'm determined to win this battle.

"Insanity!"

Shi Ji roared, unleashing all the remaining power within her body. Her aura surged instantly, and her gauntlets emitted a dazzling light. "Stone-Shattering Fist, a full-force strike!"

She threw her final punch at Jiang Wang.

This punch contained all her power, and even faintly contained the rudiments of the power of the Great Dao, making it several times stronger than before.

Jiang Wang's eyes narrowed, and he activated all the physical power within his body. The golden light on his skin became even more intense, and the aura of a supreme innate treasure permeated the entire area.

He didn't dodge, but instead met Shi Ji's fist head-on with his strongest palm strike.

With a deafening roar, terrifying power instantly swept through the entire stone chamber, shattering the floor and dimming the runes on the walls, which even developed cracks.

A huge shockwave spread outwards, shaking the entire stone chamber to the point of collapse.

Jiang Wang and Shi Ji were both sent flying backward, crashing heavily into the wall of the stone chamber.

Jiang Wang spat out a mouthful of blood, his face as pale as paper. His physical strength was greatly depleted, and even a crack appeared in his body.

Shi Ji fared even worse, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Her aura instantly weakened, and the stone gauntlets in her hands shattered. She struggled a few times but ultimately couldn't stand up, completely losing her fighting ability.

"Third level, challenge successful."

A cold sound rang out, and a crack appeared in the floor in the center of the stone chamber, revealing an ancient jade box that slowly rose up. At the same time, the wall on one side of the stone chamber slowly opened, revealing a staircase leading to the fourth floor.

Jiang Wang struggled to his feet, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, walked to the jade box, and opened it.

Inside the jade box was a red fruit, emitting a rich fragrance and containing terrifying vitality. It was the Blood Dragon Fruit, a primordial spiritual fruit that could repair the physical body and enhance cultivation.

Without hesitation, he picked up the dragon fruit and put it in his mouth.

The blood dragon fruit melted instantly in his mouth, transforming into a rich, warm current that flowed down his throat and into his body, rapidly repairing his injuries while nourishing his physical form and enhancing his cultivation.

Half an hour later, Jiang Wang's injuries were completely healed, his physical strength was also improved, and his cultivation showed signs of breaking through to the peak of the first level of the Power Saint.

He took a deep breath and looked at the stairs leading to the fourth floor.

The pressure on the fourth level was dozens of times stronger than that on the third level, and the air was filled with a rich power of the Great Dao. Clearly, the guardian of the fourth level was a cultivator at the level of a Great Dao Saint.

"Should we continue pushing upwards?"

Jiang Wang pondered in his heart.

His power is currently greatly depleted. Although the Blood Dragon Fruit has helped him recover, it will be extremely difficult for him to challenge a tower guardian at the level of a Great Dao Saint. He may even perish.

Just then, Tu Ba's instructions, as well as Tu Jian and Tu Qiang's worries, echoed in his mind.

He shook his head, giving up the idea of ​​continuing the challenge.

"Let's go back and rest for a while. We'll challenge the fourth level again after we break through our cultivation level."

He turned and walked down into the stone chamber.

After passing through the first two levels, the tower guardians, the Black Bear Spirit and the Shadow Maiden, had disappeared, clearly having been teleported away by the Secret Realm Tower.

Soon, he left the Secret Realm Tower and returned to the outside of the tower.

When Tu Jian and Tu Qiang saw him come out, they immediately went to greet him, their faces full of worry: "Young Master! How are you? Are you injured?"

Jiang Wang smiled and said, "It's nothing, I'm just a little tired."

I've made it through the third level.

"what?!"

Tu Jian and Tu Qiang stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief. "Young Master, you really passed the third level? You're a first-level Saint of Strength!"

They never expected that Jiang Wang could overcome a two-level barrier and defeat Lady Shiji, a peak third-level Saint of Strength. (End of Chapter)
