"This Island of the Underworld is filled with mountains and palaces, and it may hold some great opportunities. Let's form a team and explore it!"
Next, the Ancestral Dragon looked at the mountain peaks and then ordered the celestial beings to form small teams and enter the vast mountains to explore and see if they could obtain any opportunities.
Lu Ming, however, remained on that island, pondering the meaning of the word 'war'.
He has been on this island for ninety years.
After so many years of contemplation, he has benefited greatly.
The word 'war' is so profound. As Lu Ming comprehended it, his experience of combat deepened considerably.
Although he doesn't possess any special combat skills or abilities, Lu Ming's fighting spirit soars to the heavens whenever he makes a move, and every gesture he makes is filled with powerful combat strength.
His previous combat skills and supernatural abilities became much more powerful when he used them.
The word 'war' is truly wondrous. It means that no matter what combat techniques or supernatural abilities Lu Ming cultivates in the future, their power will be enhanced.
No matter what weapon is used, it can be used skillfully and exert its strongest power.
This is 'war'; anything related to battle will lead to improvement.
In the decades since Lu Ming comprehended the word 'war', his cultivation level has not improved at all, but his combat power has become significantly stronger.
Now, he is more confident.
Previously, he didn't have much confidence when facing invincible powerhouses at the demigod level, but now he is confident he can fight them.
Swish! Swish!...
Boom! Boom!...
Below the cliff, Lu Ming moved swiftly and unleashed a variety of divine abilities, all of which were amplified in power by the addition of the word 'battle'.
This cultivation lasted for nine days and nine nights.
After nine days and nine nights, Lu Ming finally stopped.
call...
Lu Ming let out a long breath, his eyes brightening.
"happy,
That felt so good!
Lu Ming laughed heartily.
Click!
Just then, a crack appeared on the character "战" (war), and then the cracks multiplied until it exploded with a bang, just like the previous statue.
Lu Ming has completely grasped the meaning of the word 'war'.
When the character 'war' cracked open, the void flashed, and the transparent-winged man reappeared.
"Not bad. To be able to comprehend this 'Battle Technique' within a hundred years shows considerable talent!"
The man with transparent wings nodded, a hint of excitement flashing deep in his eyes.
"Senior, can I proceed to the next level?"
Lu Ming said.
"Next level? There isn't one, this is the last one!"
The man with transparent wings smiled.
"The final hurdle? Then can I head to the Island of the Dead?"
Lu Ming was secretly delighted.
"Okay, I'll take you there!"
The man with transparent wings nodded, then waved his hand, and an array plate flew out, hovering above Lu Ming's head. The array plate emitted a beam of light, enveloping Lu Ming.
Lu Ming felt himself step into the teleportation array, and the next moment, his body disappeared from there.
The void spun around, and after a while, Lu Ming found himself in a spacious hall.
"Where is this? Could this be the Island of the Dead?"
Lu Ming was somewhat stunned.
He had expected to appear on the island, but instead, he found himself in a grand hall.
Lu Ming looked around. The main hall was empty except for a statue at the very top.
Lu Ming was shocked. Wasn't this the same statue he had been seeing before?
However, the statue here showed no sign of domination, which disappointed Lu Ming slightly.
Just then, a figure appeared in the void with a flash of light.
He was a refined middle-aged man dressed in a white robe.
This middle-aged man was indeed the one who had appeared above the Tree of Life and reminded Zu Long and the others.
"Congratulations on passing all the levels and arriving here!"
The refined-looking middle-aged man smiled.
"Junior Lu Ming greets Senior!"
Lu Ming clasped his hands in a fist salute.
"My name is Bai Ya!"
The refined middle-aged man smiled and continued, "Lu Ming, your mastery of the Dao of Domination is a rare talent, and your cultivation is remarkably similar to that of my master!"
"The Way of Domination, senior, does such a path truly exist between heaven and earth? This is just a name I made up myself!"
Lu Ming quickly asked.
"Randomly chosen? Hahaha, that's quite a coincidence. Indeed, there is a Path of Domination in the world. Cultivating the Path of Domination, once you break through to the Martial God Realm, you can control the power of the Domination God, which is an extremely high-level divine power!"
Bai Ya said.
"Martial God Realm, Dominator God Power?"
Lu Ming was puzzled.
"That's something that only applies to those at the Martial God Realm. Your cultivation is still too weak right now, so you don't need to worry about it!"
Bai Ya said, "Most importantly, you have overcome all the obstacles to get here, and you have also cultivated the Path of Domination, so you can inherit the master's legacy!"
"Inheritance?"
Lu Ming's eyes lit up.
"Let me tell you, my master is an extremely powerful being with unparalleled talent and unfathomable cultivation. The entire Yellow Springs Mountain is a treasure of my master!"
Bai Ya said.
Lu Ming gasped, his heart filled with turmoil.
The entire Yellow Springs Mountain is a treasure belonging to the Bai Ya Master.
Oh my god!
The area of Huangquan Mountain is comparable to the combined area of the nine heavenly domains of the celestial realm. It is vast and boundless, and is home to countless living beings, including even Martial Gods.
Furthermore, within this Yellow Springs Island, Lu Ming encountered a series of powerful figures. The man with the transparent wings earlier, and the refined man before him, were both unfathomable. Lu Ming suspected that they were both Martial God Realm beings.
Therefore, it is clear that the master that Bai Ya mentioned is definitely stronger than the God of War.
Even stronger than the God of War, how could such a being exist in the world?
Before this, Lu Ming thought that the Martial God was the strongest being in the world, but now it seems that he is far from it.
There are beings even stronger than the God of War.
Legend has it that Mount Huangquan came from beyond the heavens, and there must be beings stronger than the Martial God Realm in those so-called beyond the heavens.
Lu Ming felt a surge of longing and anticipation.
His cultivation level had reached a point where he was almost at its peak.
In the entire Celestial Realm, the Evil God Clan had few rivals left. Now that he knew there were even stronger beings above the Martial God Realm, Lu Ming had even higher aspirations.
"Can I receive the inheritance of this existence?"
Thinking of this, Lu Ming felt a surge of excitement.
“My master’s name is Jingyu. This statue is my master. You must have seen my master’s statue in many places before. That’s because this treasure belongs to my master, so many places enshrine my master’s statue!”
Bai Ya said.
Lu Ming suddenly realized why there was a statue in every cursed land.
"Unfortunately, my master is dead, murdered by a villain, and we and this Yellow Springs Mountain are sealed here, generation after generation, never to leave!"
As he said this, a hint of ferocity and murderous intent flashed in Bai Ya's eyes.
