My father is a Confucian sage, but the system forces me to be a crude warrior

Chapter 460 Breakthrough! Second-Rank Combat Power! A New Entry!

Darkness, an endless expanse of darkness.

Zeng Anmin and Dongfang Cang descended into that endless abyss.

This place was once a vast ocean.

But now, there is only pitch-black darkness and deathly silence.

After entering the abyss, Zeng Anmin circulated his martial arts aura, jumped off the lotus platform, and hovered in the abyss.

"It's still so dark..."

Zeng Anmin had already circulated his martial arts true energy, and with his third-grade combat strength, his visibility in this abyss was not high.

Within a radius of thirty feet, one could barely see anything, but beyond that, it was completely blind.

"It's this black mist..."

Dongfang Cang frowned, sensing the air around him, and said in a solemn voice:

"This black mist... I've never seen such a strange aura before."

"It seems to have been designed specifically to obstruct vision?"

At this point, his brows furrowed deeply.

"And besides blocking vision, it also seems to be able to block sensors..."

"My divine sense can only perceive a radius of five zhang."

Five zhang?

Zeng Anmin blinked.

He could sense it from thirty feet away...

"It seems that this black aura, besides blocking senses and vision, also suppresses the divine soul to some extent..."

He stroked his chin, noting that because he possessed the [Unyielding Martial God] ability, which granted him immunity to all divine and spiritual suppression, his visibility in the abyss was significantly improved.

But none of this matters.

Zeng Anmin looked toward the swirling black mist.

The martial arts aura within his body exuded a strange restlessness and desire.

"Why is this black energy so compatible with the martial arts aura within my body?"

Zeng Anmin hesitated for a moment, then slowly reached out and touched the black mist.

He didn't dare to get too involved; he just wanted to observe and study it little by little.

But as soon as he reached out, his martial arts aura condensed.

He then felt the endless black energy around him find an outlet and frantically gather towards his fingertips!
"Um?!"

Dongfang Cang was taken aback.

He naturally sensed the dramatic changes in his surroundings.

Zeng Anmin was also somewhat stunned:

"This is……"

But at this moment he dared not be negligent in the slightest. He held his breath and focused his mind, slowly releasing the domain within his body, trying to shield himself from the black energy surging from all directions.

"Boom!!!"

Little did he know, the moment he released his time domain...

Then I felt the black energy growing increasingly frenzied!

"Chirp chirp~"

He could even feel the black energy desperately crowding into the Time Realm!
It was like grasping at a lifeline...

The change was so fast that Zeng Anmin couldn't react in time!

However, the next moment, his solemn expression turned somewhat blank.

Because he could sense that his domain seemed to be...absorbing this black energy?

"What exactly is this black mist?!"

He could even sense that with this black energy, his domain seemed to be on the path of improvement!

"Are they improving the quality of my 'domain'?"

Zeng Anmin was stunned.

But this unparalleled abyss was filled with far too much black energy!

His domain, nearly a hundred feet wide, was as insignificant as a grain of sand in the ocean within this terrifying abyss!

"boom!!!"

The power of the surging black energy formed a super vortex in this enormous abyss!
Before Dongfang Cang could even react, his spiritual power and the black lotus platform appeared, automatically protecting him.

"What's going on?"

Dongfang Cang felt somewhat exhausted.

He tried his best to look up at Zeng Anmin.

All that could be seen was Zeng Anmin being enveloped by that frenzied black energy, forming an "egg".

"I don't know... I feel like I'm going to burst..."

Zeng Anmin's intermittent voice came from the huge black egg.

"What can I do to help you?" Dongfang Cang dared not be negligent in the slightest.

He felt that if he hadn't kept a close eye on Zeng Anmin and he had let Zeng Anmin perish here, that bastard Zeng Shilin would definitely have appeared immediately and killed him.

"Don't worry about me. My only option now is to break through..."

Zeng Anmin felt his teeth chattering as he spoke.

Just as he had thought when he sensed the black mist in the sky.

It can indeed enhance his martial arts abilities.

But there are just too many of these!

Even if he had the combat strength of a third-rank martial artist, he, a mere fourth-rank martial artist, simply couldn't withstand it.

His realm of time was already bursting with hiccups.

Fortunately, besides time, he also had space, and wind, fire, thunder, and lightning...

He can showcase these six areas in different ways.
Once one is full, the other is released.

"No, the advancement in this field will put too much strain on my body!"

"I must now raise my martial arts level to the third rank."

"With the help of [High-end Martial Arts], my combat power has reached the second rank."

"Once my physical body becomes stronger, I can withstand even the strongest domain!"

Zeng Anmin pursed his lips, his eyes hardened, and he closed them, frantically mobilizing the martial arts energy within his body!

Following the breakthrough achieved in the last westward flow.

After so much time has passed, he has actually reached the point where he is on the verge of breaking through to the third rank of martial artist.

It's just one step away from being a goal.

But at this crucial moment, he simply couldn't find an opportunity when there was no fighting involved.

The breakthrough from fourth rank to third rank represents the continuous compression and refinement of the "domain."

What's needed is to gradually condense the external "domain" into the body through battle. Once the "domain" is completely integrated with the body and nurtured for a sufficient number of days, it can be released to achieve a "domain" length of one hundred feet.

[Upon reaching the third rank, one becomes a Grandmaster of the Earth Realm, capable of basic flight, and experiencing a significant improvement in all aspects of their body, especially their recovery ability.]

These were the words Gu Xiangnan said to him in the Heavenly Dao Alliance when they were in Xiliu.

At this moment, it slowly appeared in Zeng Anmin's mind.

"To gradually condense the external domain into the body."

Zeng Anmin took a deep breath.

"Since Xiliu, I have been trying to condense the domain into my body."

"With the help of [high-end martial arts], my 'domain' is a third-grade domain, but my body is also a third-grade physical body."

"During this period, I have condensed these 'domains' into my body and have been able to control them completely."

"However, it's still a little short of the 'complete integration' that the first wife mentioned."

"What's wrong with it?"

Zeng Anmin squinted his eyes...

He stared at the black mist that enveloped him in madness.

At this moment, his time, and the five domains of wind, fire, thunder, and lightning, were all forcibly filled by this black energy...

Only one "space" remains, struggling to stay afloat.

"Integration requires not only one's own autonomy but also some external pressure..."

Zeng Anmin stared at the frenzied black mist.

A breathtaking glint flashed deep within his eyes!

"Isn't the force of this surging black energy just external pressure?!"

"Fight!!"

"Since we'll be squeezed to death by this black energy after the space is filled up anyway, we might as well take a gamble!"

Zeng Anmin took a deep breath.

He began to try to communicate with the spatial realm, gradually... withdrawing it.

But it's not just about withdrawing it; it's about letting it attach to one's own body.

In addition to the spatial domain, he also tried to use his mind to multitask, allowing the other five domains to spread throughout his body as well.

The good news is…

"it works!!"

Zeng Anmin's eyes suddenly lit up.

These areas are extremely obedient!

"boom!!!"

After the territory was consolidated.

The black energy became restless!

It's getting increasingly insane!!

"Come on!!" Zeng Anmin stared intently at the black mist, taking a deep breath:

"Success or failure hinges on this one battle!!"

"Give me……"

"break!!!!"

Zeng Anmin tilted his head back wildly, his martial arts aura now functioning like a high-speed motor.

It not only drives the domain, but also resists the pressure from the surging black energy!
"boom!!!"

The boundless black energy seemed to be enraged.

It charged madly toward Zeng Anmin's body!
"Bang!!"

"Bang!!"

"Bang!!!"

……

Dongfang Cang's eyelids twitched extremely fast.

Within his field of vision.

The enormous black egg in front of us was so big that we couldn't see the end!
The enormous black egg resembled a vortex.

All the surrounding black energy roared wildly.

“What the hell are you doing??”

At this moment, Dongfang Cang was even on the verge of tears.

This kid is too weird.

Things have developed to this stage.

He couldn't even be of much help anymore.

He could only watch helplessly as the boundless black mist charged toward Zeng Anmin time and time again.

"Should we collect this kid's body first, or run away?"

"Find a place where no one can find me and hide, so the Human Emperor won't find me..."

Dongfang Cang murmured slowly:

"Never mind, such intense energy."

"He probably won't even be able to leave behind a complete corpse."

"I think I'd better just make my escape..."

Thinking of this, Dongfang Cang prepared to use his spiritual power to summon the black lotus platform and head towards the sky above the abyss.

but……

"Bang!!!"

Suddenly, a loud bang.

It attracted all of Dongfang Cang's attention!
“That’s it!!!”

Dongfang Cang's eyelids twitched suddenly.

The pupils contracted violently!
in front of you.

The enormous black egg had shattered into pieces!

A dragon was staring at him with an unwavering gaze.

……

Zeng Anmin felt as if his body was being crushed into pieces.

But at that moment, his body seemed to have met some kind of condition.

A clear "click" was heard.

What followed was an unexpected transformation for him!
Muscles break down, but they also rebuild.

The martial arts aura formed an internal vortex.

But the black mist was like Mount Tai, pressing down on him so hard he couldn't breathe, and even his thoughts became somewhat unclear...

Finally, there was the Ancestral Dragon Diagram, which remained motionless for a long time!

"Groan!!"

He seemed to hear a dragon's roar!

Only then did he suddenly remember that he had one more trump card!

Transform into the Ancestral Dragon!
Without any hesitation, he fought desperately at the last moment and completed the dragon transformation!
"Yan!!!"

The roar of a dragon echoed throughout the entire abyss!

The fierce black energy froze instantly.

The speed at which it surged became gentler.

Zeng Anmin seized this opportunity to complete the final step of his breakthrough!

"Fusion!!!"

The Six Paths Realm, at this moment, perfectly merged with his body!

"wave~"

A barely perceptible sound rang out within his body.

It's like completing some kind of transformation.

He...broke through!
The third rank!
Because he possesses [high-level martial arts], his combat strength is... Second Rank!!!
Martial Arts Master, Rank Two!
and……

Zeng Anmin's mind stirred slightly.

His eyes narrowed:

"What exactly is this black mist?"

"How...can it have such a great effect??"

In addition to breaking through to the third rank in cultivation and reaching the second rank in combat power, he also achieved other significant advancements.

Because of this inexplicable black aura, the power of the Six Paths "Domain" was greatly enhanced.

The transformation from "domain" to "law" is only one step away!!

“In other words…” Zeng Anmin murmured slowly:

"My current cultivation level is the peak of the third rank."

"Just one step away from the second rank."

At the third rank, in addition to improving physical strength on its own, you also need to constantly hone the strength of your body in order to withstand the transformation of "Domain" into "Law".

[Law, also known as principle, is the rule governing the operation of heaven and earth. There are three thousand great paths, each with its own principle, and each martial artist's "law" is predetermined from the beginning.]

His first wife's words whispered softly in his ear again.

Zeng Anmin felt the immense power surging within his body.

Besides the joy of breaking through the rank, I also felt a sense of accomplishment.

There are also doubts about the black aura.

He stared intently at the remaining black mist.

"If I absorb all this black energy, will I be able to break through two ranks in a single day?"

"His cultivation level has risen to the second rank, and his combat strength has reached the first rank??"

The thought came to mind.

His heart skipped a beat.

"Whoo~"

It's not impossible!!!

"The most important thing in breaking through from the third rank to the second rank is to hone the physical body, just to withstand the pressure brought by the transformation of 'domain' into 'law'."

“But…” Zeng Anmin blinked, “With the help of [High-End Martial Arts], I now have a second-grade physical body!”

"Moreover, my six domains have all become laws!!"

Zeng Anmin took a deep breath.

He closed his eyes, sensing the power of the "laws" within his body!
time.

space.

wind.

fire.

Thunder.

electricity.

The original six domains were no longer confined to his divine sense.

Rather, it is within his body.

Like his hands and arms, they became part of his body.

"Is this the law?"

Zeng Anmin slowly raised his hand, and a small, milky-white dot could be clearly seen gathering on his fingertip.

That tiny, milky-white dot, now like the sun, condensed immense power within this bottomless abyss!

Even the surrounding space became distorted because of the appearance of that milky white dot.

Just as he was thinking.

A voice quietly sounded in his ear.

Congratulations on breaking through to a higher rank!
