The End of Dharma 40K: My Evil God Wife Feeds Me to Prove My Emperorship

Wei Kun cheered, "I've been waiting for you to say that! Little Chenzi fighting alongside me is so much fun, hahaha!"

Wang Chen: "..."

Within the Immortal Scripture Space, a brilliant gray light shone.

[Possession] Activated.

In an instant, Wei Kun and Wang Chen merged into Li Mingyu's body.

Within a breath, Li Mingyu felt his muscles swell, his spiritual acupoints were rapidly opened, and spiritual energy gathered and surged within them, raising his cultivation level to the fourth stage of the Spirit Awakening Realm.

At the first level of spiritual awakening, one can only vaguely sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but has almost no spiritual power and operates sluggishly.

The second stage of spiritual awakening allows one to cultivate spiritual energy within the body, forming a circulatory flow of spiritual power in the meridians, which can then be used to bless specific parts of the body at will.

Upon reaching the third realm of spiritual awakening, the amount of spiritual energy within the body greatly increases, allowing it to circulate flexibly and cover the entire body.

Awakening the four realms of spiritual energy opens up all the spiritual apertures in the body, allowing for a doubling of the amount of spiritual energy that can be circulated.

Once the five realms of spiritual awakening are established, spiritual veins are formed, connecting all the spiritual apertures in the body. At this point, spiritual energy permeates the entire body, sufficient to empower external objects even when separated from the body.

Furthermore, cultivators in the Awakening Realm cannot use spells because the spiritual energy in the Awakening Realm is too low in purity and full of impurities to meet the demands of spells.

Once you reach the Qi Refining stage, the impure spiritual energy is compressed and transformed into pure spiritual energy. At that time, releasing spiritual energy will no longer be a problem, and you can cast simple spells.

Within the five realms of spiritual awakening, the amount of spiritual energy circulating increases with each advancement in the realm.

Among them, the four realms of spiritual awakening are a key node for increasing the amount of spiritual energy circulating.

The burly man sighed softly, his entire body enveloped in spiritual energy. He was about to raise his cleaver, forcing the child in front of him to make some concessions.

Li Mingyu, however, channeled the spiritual energy of the fourth level of the Enlightenment Realm into his right leg and kicked the rough man in the abdomen.

Li Mingyu used all his strength in that kick.

Li Mingyu had been standing still, but now he suddenly moved, and his speed was incredibly fast.

The rough man had no time to react and was kicked head-on. With a loud "bang," the dull thud exploded in the air.

The burly man didn't even utter a muffled groan before he was sent flying backward, leaving a trail of blood in the air.

To everyone's astonishment, it flew seven or eight meters before finally coming to a stop.

Ignoring the stunned crowd around him, Li Mingyu grabbed his aunt and quickly followed, bending down to pick up the cleaver that the rough man had dropped and holding it to the man's neck.

The rough-looking man lay on the ground, unaware that the machete was already at his neck. Driven only by his physical instincts, he convulsed, coughing up blood repeatedly, his pupils filled with terror.

In his pupils was Li Mingyu's disdainful gaze, his condescending posture.

"How could this be...?"

He didn't know who this child was, but judging from the level of spiritual energy circulation at that moment, he actually had the cultivation of the fourth level of the Spirit Awakening Realm.

But that's not the scariest thing.

Even if the opponent is at the fourth level of the Spirit Awakening Realm, the opponent is still just a child, and I, as an adult male, am by no means powerless to resist.

The most frightening thing is...

He discovered that his cultivation level at the third level of the Qi Awakening Realm and his combat skills, which he had accumulated over many years by risking his life with courage and drive, had been shattered by a single kick from his opponent.

The force of that kick was comparable to that of the elites from those sects he had once been fortunate enough to witness.

If it weren't for the spiritual energy I still had to cushion the blow, I probably would have already died by now.

The victor is king, the loser is villain.

They know all the rules.

He kept coughing up blood, hoping that the "handsome young man" in front of him would make some demands so that he could back out gracefully and perhaps save face.

But the young man's eyes flashed with cold light, his killing intent palpable, and he remained silent for a long time.

The boy half-squatted, gently holding the middle-aged woman's hand with one hand, while the machete in his other hand remained held horizontally in front of the rough man's neck, unmoved.

His men around him all froze in place, not moving an inch.

The rough man panicked completely; the fear of death shattered his will.

Ignoring his injuries and the distance between the machete and his neck, he convulsed, using all his strength to try and pronounce the words as clearly as possible:

"Let...let...me...Ichima..."

Seeing that he was desperately begging for mercy, Li Mingyu moved the cleaver aside and asked, "Why?"

The burly man curled up, coughed up blood a few more times, and after catching his breath for a while, finally replied:

"I... have an elderly mother to support, and three children to raise. The mother of my children has passed away. Prices in Hanzhou are too high, and my family really can't survive. This month is almost over, and if I don't receive enough spiritual resources, my cultivation level will drop..."

Li Mingyu sighed heavily and continued, "Isn't the Immortal Palace of Hanzhou going to do anything about it?"

The rough-looking man's gaze was unfocused: "Actually, this natural disaster was caused by the battle between the Yangbai Immortal Sect and the Beiming Sect, and the intervention of Foundation Establishment cultivators. Cough cough... Foundation Establishment experts... the Immortal Palace has no way to manage them."

Li Mingyu nodded and put away his machete: "Understood."

The rough-looking man's voice was hoarse: "Everyone... just accepts their bad luck, we... really can't do anything..."

Li Mingyu pulled his aunt up, stood up, picked up his machete, and coldly surveyed the surrounding area. None of the refugees dared to step forward.

"Listen up, my eyes are bothering me today, I can't get any sand in them. Don't let this kind of robbery or theft happen under my nose."

After he finished speaking, there was silence all around.

Will this world change?

do not know.

Whether one fights for survival or waits to die, it's all just dust in the wind.

Li Mingyu knew that this was all he could do.

He pulled his aunt along, silently passed through the encirclement, and continued towards Gudu City.

Behind him, even more refugees have gathered.

The refugees included both old and young people; some remained silent, while others whispered among themselves.

Although most of them didn't know each other, they all followed Li Mingyu closely as he passed through the encirclement.

Along the way, more and more people gathered, and like a snowball rolling downhill, they gradually formed a small but sizable group.

No one gave any instructions, no one asked any questions, and no one even exchanged glances. Everyone tacitly followed the person who walked forward without hesitation.

The refugees simply stood by the roadside, silently watching the gradually forming "flood" pass by. Their eyes held a complex mix of confusion and calculation, and none of them stepped forward to stop it.

The aunt tugged at Li Mingyu's sleeve, feeling proud of her nephew but her face was full of worry:

"Xiaoyu, you were at the fourth realm just now, right? The expenses for cultivators at the fourth realm are huge. What will you do in the future? Your uncle couldn't afford it when he was at the third realm..."

Li Mingyu gently held his aunt's calloused hand and comforted her:

"It's okay, Auntie, I'm not at the fourth realm, I'm at the second realm. Really, Xiaoyu isn't lying to you."

The aunt paused for a moment, then asked:

"Oh. That's good. Second realm is good, second realm is good. Hmm, Xiaoyu, but how can the spiritual energy of the second realm be..."

Li Mingyu laughed heartily:

"Ah, this is all thanks to that secret technique Wang Chen had before. It's an ancient secret technique that can temporarily raise one's cultivation level. It's very powerful."

Auntie's tense expression relaxed:

"So that's how it is. It really is a case of good fortune and misfortune being intertwined. Hey, Xiaoyu, does this secret technique have any side effects? We have to be careful..."

Wei Kun: "Little Li is lying again."

Wang Chen: "Where can I find any secret techniques to elevate one's cultivation level? Uh... okay, [Possession] will do."

Wei Kun: "Hehe, it seems like I'm praising you, but I'm actually praising myself."

Li Mingyu led his large "team" for almost an hour, and Gudu City came into view.
