Chapter 158, Humans in the Secret Realm
Jiang Ming withdrew his gaze from the stands of the Hongmeng Duel Arena.
"I wonder where I'd rank on the honor list with my current strength."
Jiang Ming thought to himself.
With that thought in mind, Jiang Ming immediately challenged Jiang Ming to a duel.
A cold, electronic voice rang in his mind.
Please confirm your identity information.
"Identity verification in progress..."
'
Title: King of the Blade River
Race: Human
Strength Level: King-level
Affiliation: Virtual Universe Company
"Confirmation complete. Welcome to the Arena of Glory. Your starting score is 0. Current ranking: None."
Jiang Ming's choice of "King of the Knife River" was clearly a wicked quirk; he was curious to know what title Luo Feng would have after he claimed it.
The next moment, his figure disappeared from the spectator stands and entered the duel space.
In the spectator stands, many powerful figures who had reached the King level noticed Jiang Ming's disappearance.
However, few people cared, because at this time, many powerful individuals were also preparing to challenge for a duel.
The dueling space in the Glory Arena is a vast and boundless starry sky.
In the starry sky, there floats a huge arena with a diameter of over one million kilometers.
Jiang Ming appeared on the arena, feeling the body formed by the scanning of the virtual universe.
Unlike the Battle of the Peak Geniuses, the Glory Duel Arena does not use a unified physical standard, but is set up entirely according to the scanning standard of the virtual universe login device.
The body data scanned by the login device will determine the body data displayed in the Glory Arena.
Generally speaking, assisting plant life is not included in personal strength.
After all, assisting a plant's life is ultimately an external force. Even if it shares the same intentions as its owner, it is still an independent living entity.
In the Arena of Glory, a stage that tests individual strength, auxiliary life forms are usually stripped away, leaving only the cultivator's own power.
However, Jiang Ming's situation is somewhat special. With his true cultivation level at the cosmic level, without the divine power of the Ancient Tree of Life, his personal strength is completely insignificant in Hongmeng City.
Let alone a king-level enemy, he even has difficulty killing a marquis-level enemy.
Understanding the laws is one thing, but without sufficient divine power to support it, it's like possessing an unparalleled divine sword without the strength to wield it.
Therefore, Jiang Ming used his privileges.
With this kind of permission that doesn't involve rules, Jiang Ming wouldn't be subject to any restrictions, so he could bypass some system verifications and adjust certain data.
Jiang Ming incorporated the Tree of Life into his personal strength.
Of course, the Tree of Life will only provide Jiang Ming with divine power assistance, and will not have any ability to attack on its own.
However, this would give Jiang Ming the divine power foundation to achieve immortality and put him on the same starting line as other powerful figures in the Hong Alliance.
"King of Blades, your first opponent has been matched."
Opponent: Dark Bone King (Bone Clan)
Strength Level: One-Star Expert
Current ranking on the Honor Ranking: 472310
A humanoid creature composed entirely of dark gray skeletons was coalescing in front of Jiang Ming. It was about five meters tall, and a faint aura of death flowed across the surface of its skeleton.
"Human? I've never seen a human before. What's your name?"
Upon seeing Jiang Ming, Dark Bone King immediately felt a sense of apprehension.
Within the Hongmeng, the human race is undoubtedly the strongest, possessing the greatest overall strength and also boasting impressive individual strength on average.
Even a human powerhouse he had never seen before made Dark Bone King extremely vigilant.
"My name is Daohe, and I come from the Primordial Secret Realm."
"The Primordial Realm?"
Dark Bone King looked astonished.
This self-identification indicates that the human in front of us is not a human from outer space, but a human from a secret realm of the universe!
"They're actually humans from a secret realm. What a pity."
Even Dark Bone King couldn't help but show a hint of regret in his eyes.
Jiang Ming saw the regret in the other person's eyes and naturally knew what the other person was thinking.
In the primordial universe, the human race can be simply divided into three types.
The first type is extraterrestrial humans.
These are humans born in the universe, on various life-bearing planets.
The second type is humans from the secret realms of the universe.
Cosmic realms are extremely special environments in the primordial universe. They exist in the cosmic sky but possess unique laws, structures, and energy environments. Within these cosmic realms, a vast continent is often inhabited by the population of a cosmic kingdom.
The third type is the humans of the divine realm.
The Divine Kingdom is an independent space created by immortal powerhouses, located in a spatial rift, and not in the original universe.
In the primordial universe, the birth of life was very special.
Every life form absorbs the essence of the universe upon birth.
Just as plants need sufficient sunlight to grow, if plants are too densely packed, none of them will grow well.
Humans are the most widely distributed beings in the universe, yet the fewest in number. However, this also means that over 98% of the strongest beings in the universe are from the human race.
Other beings, such as those from the Cosmic Secret Realm and the Divine Kingdom, although their numbers are tens of thousands or hundreds of millions of times greater than those from the Cosmic Realm, together only account for one or two percent of the total number of powerful humans.
Of course, the "strongest" here refers to the cosmic sovereign.
After all, it's not difficult for immortal powerhouses to emerge from cosmic secret realms.
"The duel begins!"
The moment the electronic sound faded, Dark Bone King moved.
His figure was like a ghost, leaving countless afterimages in the void.
Those afterimages were not simply residual speed, nor were they reflections of some kind of space; rather, they were a profound movement technique.
Each afterimage contained real attack power, rushing towards Jiang Ming from all directions.
Jiang Ming did not move.
His third eye quietly opened, and under that superdimensional perspective, the Dark Bone King's attack trajectory, power distribution, and weak points unfolded layer by layer in his consciousness.
"The three afterimages on the left are feints, the five on the right are the real killing moves. And the one in front... is the true form."
Jiang Ming made a decision instantly.
He raised the spear in his hand.
The gun is fired.
This shot was devoid of any fancy moves; it was simply a straightforward thrust.
But the moment the spear tip pierced through, the surrounding space froze.
The numerous afterimages of the Dark Bone King shattered like paper before this single shot.
puff!
The moment the spear tip touched the bone crevice, the immortal divine power of the ancient tree of life surged forth like a flood, flowing into the Dark Bone King's divine body through the spear tip.
boom!!!
Dark Bone King's body flew backward like a cannonball, tumbling through the void for hundreds of thousands of miles before barely managing to stabilize himself.
He looked down at his chest, where a fine crack was slowly spreading.
"You One"
Dark Bone King raised his head, his eyes filled with disbelief.
This simple strike actually depleted nine percent of his divine power!
Before he could organize an effective counterattack, he was engulfed in a hail of gunfire.
"King of the Blade River wins."
