Man covers the sky and conquers all worlds

Chapter 138 Atonement Through Merit
"You... are the current Emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty?!"

The young man, with his rosy lips and white teeth, had a wary look in his eyes. He took a step forward, his thoughts stirring the heavens and earth, and his true energy manifested as sword energy.

The sky above Bianjing City was instantly enveloped by a dense array of terrifying sword intent, and the entire sky seemed to dim slightly at that moment.

boom!
Li Ming, standing at the end of the long street, slightly raised his eyes.

Above the sky, a vast storm of sword energy was brewing, constantly exuding a terrifying and sharp aura.

Complex yet perfectly orderly, each sword aura seemed to possess its own will.

"Six Meridian Divine Sword, Northern Darkness Divine Art... Hearing about them a hundred times is not as good as seeing them in person!"

Feeling the essence of heaven and earth that he had drawn in being absorbed by the young man before him and then rapidly transformed into a sky full of sword light, Li Ming sighed softly.

The Six Meridian Divine Swords are divided into the Shaoshang Sword, Shangyang Sword, Zhongchong Sword, Guanchong Sword, Shaochong Sword, and Shaoze Sword.

Each sword strike has a unique sword path and effect.

Some are majestic and grand, some are solemn and austere, some are exquisitely varied, and some are stirring and uplifting.

Unlike the things he had seen in movies and TV shows in his previous life, which shot out like laser beams!
Such a level of sword energy is indeed top-tier in this world.

The Northern Darkness Divine Skill, inherited from the Free and Unfettered Sect, amazed him even more.

This is a first-class cultivation technique that allows one to absorb the true energy of others and convert it into one's own.

Even the spiritual energy he had just dispersed in the air was almost partially devoured by Duan Yu.

This shows that Duan Yu had already mastered these martial arts techniques to a high level.

Duan Yu sensed the softening tone in the man's voice, and his gaze sharpened.
"Now that you know my origins, release my descendants and swear an oath never to invade my Dali territory again!"

"Please also release our fellow martial artists! My brother and I will retreat immediately!"

Xu Zhu, with his long black hair flowing down his shoulders, had an indifferent expression.

Clearly, the two of them mistook the immense spiritual power that dawn had just released for the effects of the human dragon energy it had received.

After all, both of them had many extraordinary encounters when they were young.

One person accidentally broke the chess game and received the power of Wu Yazi's hundreds of years of cultivation, gaining several cultivation techniques that directly lead to the pinnacle of the first-rank martial saint.

One of them already had a family tradition of learning, and after falling into the deep valley, he gained the Northern Darkness Divine Skill, which can absorb people's internal energy and true qi.

He later found the lost secret manuals at home, and by chance, he also absorbed the essence of several martial arts grandmasters, which made up for his lack of profound knowledge.

This is because, despite their good fortune and talent, they were both over fifty years old before reaching the rank of First-Grade Martial Saint.

Therefore, subconsciously, they did not believe that the person in front of them could be so powerful at such a young age that he could almost suppress the two of them with his spiritual power.

After all, throughout the thousands of years of recorded history of martial arts, apart from the Hegemon-King of Western Chu, no one in the world has ever stepped into the first-rank Martial Saint before the age of twenty.

Not to mention that this was done while still within the Martial Saint realm, covering an extremely long distance.

In contrast, reason led them to believe that the emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom had only managed to barely reach the first rank by some stroke of luck.

Moreover, they possess extraordinary mental strength.

The gilded dragon robe on Li Ming's body billowed slightly.
"You two... seem very confident, thinking that my Great Xia capital is like the Liao capital of decades ago, where you can come and go as you please!"

boom!
The moment the sound landed, it was like a thunderclap from a clear sky, and the world suddenly darkened.

An immense pressure, as heavy as Mount Tai, like a heavy meteorite falling from the sky, instantly pierced half of the two people's bodies into the street.

"What... how could they be so powerful?"

The two men, who had been so imposing just moments before, were now dressed in tattered robes and looked utterly disheveled. It was merely a trace of the oppressive aura of the Human Dragon Qi that had rendered the two First-Rank Martial Saints unable to move.

With such strength, the mental energy he just released, which was as clear as if he could read, was not obtained through any other opportunity.
Duan Yu's eyes were resolute, and a chilling, resonant sword cry emanated from the depths of his body.

Zheng!
In the void, sword light layered upon layer, like a storm falling and blooming.

At the same time, a blazing and majestic aura of humanity emanated from Xu Zhu's body.

He brought his five fingers together into a palm and pushed them out horizontally into the void.

boom!
In just a moment, the boundless energy gathered towards him, transforming into a solid, nine-zhang-tall giant hand that struck down towards dawn.

He actually managed to simulate a trace of the charm of human dragon energy using the Lesser Formless Skill!

"If that's all there is to it, you should stay!"

Beneath the wide black sleeves, Li Ming slowly extended his hand, his five fingers suddenly closing in his fair heart, and a heavy thunderous sound erupted the instant he clenched his fist.

It was as if the entire world had been completely crushed in his grasp.

Immediately, he delivered a horizontal punch!
hum!
The big sound is loud, the elephant is invisible.

The two men standing in front of the fist suddenly felt as if they had gone deaf and the world had fallen silent!

The moment the punch was delivered, visible transparent ripples suddenly appeared in front of the fist imprint.

This is not because the air has been compressed to its limit, but because the space of this world can no longer withstand this level of pure power and has begun to distort and deform!
The next instant, before the fist imprint even arrived, the surging spatial waves from heaven and earth had already crushed the two people's full-force attack!
Amidst their somewhat dazed expressions, the fist imprint vanished abruptly just before it reached their brows.

Whoosh!

The fist imprint dissipated, transforming into a sky full of gusts of wind that swept in, waking the two somewhat dazed individuals.

"Considering your meritorious service in protecting the people decades ago, I hereby grant you a chance to atone for your crimes through meritorious service!"

The moment the sound fell to the ground, that powerful, almost divine figure had already vanished from the spot, leaving no trace.

"Ahem! Second brother...should we go back?"

Duan Yu coughed up blood, his eyes filled with an overwhelming sense of bewilderment.

His early life was too smooth. Although he encountered some setbacks, they were insignificant compared to the many adventures he had.

Later, after Xiao Feng committed suicide at Yanmen Pass and Wang Yuyan left him.

Disheartened, he returned to Dali alone, inherited the throne, and, thanks to his accumulated experience and the refinement he had accumulated over more than a decade, naturally ascended to the first rank.

Since then, he has traveled alone to the far north ice fields and also searched for it in Southeast Asia.

But things have always gone too smoothly, and I can't find the excitement of my early years again.

But only this time did he truly feel that he was on the verge of death.

"There's no going back! You and I, brothers, are in deep trouble this time."

Xu Zhu sighed deeply.

Behind the two of them, an old scholar in a tall hat and wide belt, walking with measured steps, slowly approached. Two divine flames ignited in his cloudy eyes, and then he slowly raised one arm.
"Please, gentlemen!"

Duan Yu gasped.

They never imagined that the emperor in this capital of the Great Xia Dynasty was so terrifyingly powerful.

Where did this old man, who was almost breaking through the void, come from?
