Chapter 1227 s.p.a.ce-splitting Punch
“What realm is Taoist Deadwood in now? He has been suppressed for a thousand years. However, he destroyed the Gutuo Divine Temple and killed the king and six lords in the few days after he came out,” Zhang Guangyou asked.
His words also attracted the attention of the others.
Everyone who had met Taoist Deadwood had the feeling that his strength was unfathomable, and that there was a certain rhythm to his actions.
“He is now in the G.o.d Transformation Peak-Stage. He was likely in the Void-refining Realm before,” Zhang Han said.
“Even he can’t control the Dark Cold Fire with such strong strength?” Chen Changqing was surprised. “Will Mengmeng bear it?”
“So, I need to milden its energy and make it suitable for absorption,” Zhang Han said with a smile.
“What is the Dark Cold Fire?”
Ah Hu and the others, who had never seen the Dark Cold Fire, could not help asking.
...
“That’s it.”
Zhang Han opened his right hand, and the Dark Cold Fire sealed in his palm flared up.
“Swoos.h.!.+”
A cl.u.s.ter of milky white flame kept flas.h.i.+ng, while the temperature of the surrounding air suddenly dropped. The crowd felt the cold that they had not experienced for a long time.
“I’m cold!”
Many of the crowd with low cultivation were s.h.i.+vering in the cold, and they felt that their teeth were about to chatter.
“White flame…”
“What an imposing aura.”
“I feel that I will definitely freeze to death if I touch this flame. Oh my G.o.d, how can the flame be cold? Why?”
Many of the people on site discussed animatedly. All of them felt extremely surprised.
It was contradictory that the flame made the people feel cold. However, it was burning in front of them.
“Daddy, what are the benefits of the flame?” Mengmeng blinked her big bright eyes and asked.
“It can improve your attack ability, defense ability, cultivation level, and so on. After refining it, you will get a lot of benefits.” Zhang Han smiled.
“They all said that they are cold, but why am I not?” Mengmeng muttered.
“Er?”
Zhang Han was stunned. He had not suppressed the Dark Cold Fire. Even he could feel the cold as if there were an ice cube in his palm. Everyone present felt cold, except Zi Yan and Mengmeng whose expressions did not change at all, as if they did not feel anything.
“This case… Could it be because of the goodwill of the Dark Cold Fire?
“Is it submitting to Zi Yan and Mengmeng?”
Zhang Han was lost in thought.
“Can I touch it?” Mengmeng seemed to be a little nervous. She walked over from Zhang Han’s side and stood next to him. Staring at the flame in Zhang Han’s palm, Mengmeng was eager to try but she did not dare to stick out her hand, which made her look cute.
“You can touch it. It’s okay.”
Zhang Han chuckled and increased the strength of suppressing the Dark Cold Fire. The surrounding people felt that the temperature of the air had returned to normal as if the flame only had its shape.
“Okay.”
Mengmeng slowly raised her right hand, stretched out a finger, and carefully approached.
“Don’t get burned too badly,” Felina suddenly said, curling her lips.
“Swis.h.!.+”
Mengmeng seemed to be scared. She withdrew her palm at lightning speed, but she felt that she overreacted the next moment. She glared at Felina with annoyance, snorted, and reached out her right hand again.
“It’s okay.”
Zhang Han smiled.
With her father by her side, Mengmeng was not afraid at all. That she withdrew her hand before was just a subconscious move.
However, the moment that Mengmeng’s finger touched the Dark Cold Fire, something unexpected happened.
“Swoos.h.!.+”
The Dark Cold Fire appeared to have lost control at this moment.
It began to tremble violently, but it could not escape at all under Zhang Han’s suppression.
“Whoos.h.!.+”
The pearl representing the Saint Warrior Planet suddenly appeared from Mengmeng’s right hand, and the image of the whole planet instantly covered Mengmeng and circled around her.
The unexpected scene made Zhang Han’s face change in an instant.
But when he sensed it carefully, he found that there was nothing unusual. It was the energy pulsation of the pearl representing the Saint Warrior Planet and did not affect Mengmeng.
“Sizzle!”
The next second, Zhang Han suddenly found that the Dark Cold Fire was no longer under his suppression. It suddenly rose and turned into a several-meter-high cl.u.s.ter of flame, which was absorbed by the pearl representing the Saint Warrior Planet.
“Forcible s.n.a.t.c.h?”
Zhang Han narrowed his eyes. He felt a little angry now.
“How dare you s.n.a.t.c.h my daughter’s thing?”
“Bang!”
Zhang Han performed a secret skill with his enormous soul sense and wanted to seize back the Dark Cold Fire.
However, in the face of the pearl representing the Saint Warrior Planet, the skill was ineffective.
The pearl even emitted a ray of light that shone on Zhang Han’s face, as if it was saying, “I like to watch you sulk while knowing that you can’t do anything to me.”
Zhang Han’s facial muscles trembled.
He was also a little confused.
“Why did the pearl representing the Saint Warrior Planet s.n.a.t.c.h Dark Cold Fire?
“Although this flame is in the second echelon of Alien Fire, it is extremely difficult to control. I’ve heard that several cultivators had obtained Dark Cold Fire, but in the end, only one could exert half of the power of Dark Cold Fire, who was addressed as Immortal Master of Dark Fire afterward.
“The others could only exert the power of no more than thirty percent. Such a natural alien object is extremely difficult to control and refine.
“But the pearl representing the Saint Warrior Planet was a treasure itself. What benefits can it obtain from Dark Cold Fire?”
Zhang Han was also confused and stared at the pearl representing the Saint Warrior Planet.
The milky white flame was swirling around the image of the pearl representing the Saint Warrior Planet. At that moment, the scene made the people feel weird.
“Mengmeng!”
“What’s going on?”
“How could this happen?”
The crowd was shocked.
Mengmeng was the most adorable in Mount New Moon. Seeing this scene, many people were anxious.
Zi Yan, who was standing by the side, ran up to Zhang Han immediately.
“What happened to her?” asked Zi Yan in a hurry.
Although Zi Yan sometimes liked to make fun of her daughter, her maternalism would be immediately awakened when she encountered something serious.
“She’s fine.” Zhang Han shook his head slightly. “Let’s observe for another while. The abnormal action of the pearl representing the Saint Warrior Planet won’t hurt her.”
In Zhang Han’s eyes, the pearl representing the Saint Warrior Planet was s.h.i.+ning with a different color.
Upon taking a closer look, Zhang Han found that there seemed to be something flas.h.i.+ng in the pearl, which made him feel strange.
“There are too many secrets about Saint Warrior Planet concealed,” Zhang Han murmured in his heart as he looked at Mengmeng.
Although being the Heavenly Lord and possessing the pearl representing the Saint Warrior Planet was good for Mengmeng, they often made Zhang Han feel that they would be out of control. He did not like the feeling. However, he also often felt glad as he knew that his daughter would definitely be very powerful in the future.
As Zhang Han was immersed in the mixed feelings, two minutes pa.s.sed.
It was silent on the site. No one spoke. The atmosphere got a little heavy. Even Dahei, who had come near, widened its eyes as if it was frightened. Little Hei’s eyes were cold as it stared at the image of the pearl representing the Saint Warrior Planet. No matter how powerful the enemy was, Little Hei would not let the person under its protection get hurt before it died.
Obviously, Little Hei regarded the image of the pearl representing the Saint Warrior Planet as an enemy.
“Coo-coo, coo-coo…” Tiny Tot barked a few times and fell silent. It blinked its little eyes and looked at Mengmeng, lost in thought.
“What is Little Master doing?”
Finally, the strange phenomenon changed.
The image of the pearl representing the Saint Warrior Planet kept circling around Mengmeng. The outer layer of the milky-white flame was absorbed by the pearl representing the Saint Warrior Planet.
However, in the next second, the pearl representing the Saint Warrior Planet shrank and sank into Mengmeng’s right hand.
“Clatter!”
A pure-white flame appeared on the surface of Mengmeng’s body.
“What?”
Zhang Han was taken aback. He looked at the flame in confusion.
Finally, he figured out the meaning of the appearance of the pearl representing the Saint Warrior Planet.
He let out a long breath and smiled.
“Can’t believe that the pearl has refined the Dark Cold Fire directly and made it completely fit Mengmeng’s body. It seems that I don’t need to use the Thunder Yang Treasure Land to milden the energy.”
“The Dark Cold Fire has been absorbed?”
“I was wondering why sister Mengmeng closed her eyes and sat on the ground.” Chen Chuan scratched his head. “It turns out that she is cultivating.”
“Hahaha, it’s just a false alarm. Mengmeng is the Heavenly Lord. And she’s amazing.”
“It seems that it won’t take long for her to absorb the Dark Cold Fire. Han, how many days will it take?” Zhang Guangyou asked.
“I’m not sure. It depends on how it goes, but it should be finished in a few days.”
Zhang Han smiled happily.
Among the crowd, only he could feel that the Dark Cold Fire was much stronger than before. As it had a lot of impurities that did not fit the way of human cultivation before, one needed to purify its energy and refine it to exert its power. The current Dark Cold Fire was of excellent quality.
In other words, the previous Dark Cold Fire was ranked at the bottom of the second echelon of Alien Fire. Now, it was ranked at the top. There was a huge gap between the essence of the previous one and the current one.
Zhang Han just did not know how much power Mengmeng could exert after absorbing the Dark Cold Fire.
“If Mengmeng can exert 30% of the power, she won’t have any pressure to reach the Integration Realm.
“If she can exert 50%, she won’t have a rough journey to reach the Tribulation Stage.
“If she can exert 70%, she will have the qualification to reach Tribulation Stage Ninth Tier.
“Fifty percent would be a good result. ”
Zhang Han looked at Mengmeng with a smile. Everyone could see how delighted he was from his expression.
As for Nina and Felina, they had never heard of the Heavenly Lord and the pearl representing the Saint Warrior Planet, so they were a little confused. But they also felt that Mengmeng was very awesome.
“Will our daughter break through to the Elixir Realm this time?” Zi Yan asked with a smile.
“Of course. It’s a natural breakthrough. It’s very great.” Zhang Han nodded.
“She will be stronger.” Zi Yan was in a good mood.
The atmosphere on the spot gradually became lively.
“Hahaha, even my granddaughter is going to reach the Elixir Realm.” Zhang Guangyou laughed.
“That’s great.” Rong Jiali and Rong Jiaxin were also beaming with smiles.
“Do you see that? Your sister Mengmeng is reaching the Elixir Realm. You should also work hard on cultivation.” Zhou Fei touched Chen Chuan’s head.
“Sister Mengmeng is super powerful at the beginning,” Chen Chuan muttered.
The crowd had a happy chat before leaving one after another.
After a while, only the three of Zhang Han’s family were left.
It was late at night. The crescent moon rose high into the sky, s.h.i.+ning brightly. The silver moonlight covered the Mount New Moon.
Under the shade of the Thunder Yang Tree, Mengmeng was sitting cross-legged on the ground, surrounded by faint white flames. She was in a state of cultivation, absorption, and breakthrough.
“Ho-hum…”
Zi Yan yawned.
“Let’s go to sleep.” Zhang Han took Zi Yan’s hand.
“What about Mengmeng? I’ll go back by myself. You stay with her,” Zi Yan said.
“I’ll accompany you for a while. After you fall asleep, I’ll come back.”
Zhang Han smiled. He knew that Zi Yan liked to sleep with her arms around him, so he took her hand and flew back to the bedroom. After a while, Zi Yan fell asleep. Zhang Han gently took off her hands and flashed to the Thunder Yang Tree.
“It seems that it will indeed take several days.”
Looking at Mengmeng’s delicate face appearing indistinctly under the flickering white flames, Zhang Han smiled gently.
After watching for a while, Zhang Han came to sit in the pavilion and began to mutter to himself, “I have just completed the Immortal Body of the Five Elements, I still need a set of battle methods.”
“Being immune to all kinds of attacks does not mean invincibility. There is no real invincibility. Only when one keeps getting strong in all aspects can the one be invincible.”
“The faster a martial artist was, the harder he is to be blocked. However, sometimes speed is not the only choice. I need to practice my martial arts.”
Zhang Han thought for a moment, then darted into the air.
A punch was suddenly struck forward.
“Bang!”
A sonic boom suddenly rang out.
Zhang Han made a wry smile.
Relatively speaking, his was too fast. Each of his moves was beyond the speed of sound. And the fastest real-time speed even reached seven times the speed of sound.
In this case, it seemed that he did not need any battle method at all.
It made sense that the faster the martial artist was, the harder he was to be blocked.
“Ordinary punching and kicking methods are useless for me. I can develop a way of fighting that fits my Immortal Body of the Five Elements according to battle methods.”
Zhang Han suddenly slowed down and performed all the martial arts he had seen before with his fists and feet.
Some fist skills were very fast and powerful, while some palm skills were slow but full of abstruse aura.
Mengmeng cultivated in seclusion and constantly absorbed the Dark Cold Fire, while Zhang Han practiced nearby. Just like that, the rest of the night pa.s.sed.
“Honey.”
It was not until after seven o’clock the next morning that Zi Yan who was wearing pajamas walked to the balcony and called Zhang Han sleepily.
“Phew… I’m coming.”
Zhang Han let out a long breath and stretched his body. Dedicating himself to the practice for such a long time, he sweated a lot and soaked his s.h.i.+rt.
He took a few glances at Mengmeng and found that her state was very stable.
Then, Zhang Han came to the balcony in a flash.
“Why did you sweat so much? Go to take a shower,” Zi Yan said.
“Okay. I’ll make the breakfast after that.” Zhang Han smiled.
They went to the bathroom together. Zi Yan washed up, while Zhang Han took a shower.
Zi Yan really enjoyed this atmosphere of life.
After that, they came to the kitchen. Zi Yan sat on the side of Zhang Han. As Zhang Han did not ask her for help, she browsed all kinds of hot news on her mobile phone.
“Pfft… Honey, the film Interstellar War we produced hit cinema screens in May. Now it’s in July, but its reputation remained good. Its scores on all the major scoring websites maintain above 9.5 points. Quite a few entertainment companies have released movies recently, but the audience compared their movies with ours. I just saw the complaints of several bosses of the entertainment companies.”
“Look at this boss called Tang Meng. He noted, “The film we’ve released is definitely not comparable to the great work like Interstellar War. Please be rational when you comment.”
“Although it’s been two months, the reputation effect is still large.”
“I guess this movie will get a lot of awards.”
Looking at Zi Yan, who was elated behind him, Zhang Han also felt full of energy in cooking. He cooked quietly without using any special power. Twenty minutes later, the breakfast, which was simpler than usual, was served on the table.
“Feifei, w.a.n.g Ya, my sister s.h.i.+ya and I will go shopping later. We won’t come back for lunch,” Zi Yan said.
“Okay. I also plan to look after Mengmeng and practice my fist skills incidentally.” Zhang Han nodded.
After the meal, the shopping squad set off.
Zhang Han also came to a place near Mengmeng and practice martial arts steadily.
“This is the feeling of martial arts.
“The most important point of battle methods is not how fast they are, but is whether they can fit the body and reach the best effect. With the power of my Immortal Body of the Five Elements, after I successfully create my own battle methods, they will be a great help to me.
“These are just ordinary means. However, I guess that each punch may be as powerful as a supernatural power in the eyes of others.”
Zhang Han caught some enlightenment. Each punch and kick gave people a special feeling.
w.a.n.g Ming, First Elder, and w.a.n.g Zhanpeng were walking toward the Thousand-formation Image as usual.
First Elder said, “I’ve finally comprehended most of the Thousand-formation Image, but there are several formations I still can’t see through. As the saying goes, reviewing the past could help one to understand the present. I plan to comprehend the Thousand-formation Image thoroughly once again.”
“Eh?”
As soon as First Elder finished speaking, they halted and looked at Zhang Han, who was practicing martial arts like an Obvious Strength or Inward Strength martial artist in the distance.
“Zhang Han is practicing martial arts. Why can’t I sense him?” w.a.n.g Ming was confused. “There seems to be no energy of the formation, but I can’t sense him as if there were no one there. It’s strange.”
“Me too.” First Elder narrowed his eyes. “Is he cultivating? He has unconsciously affected the surrounding s.p.a.ce?”
“Awesome. I don’t know how he did this.” w.a.n.g Zhanpeng shook his head and sighed. “Now the gap between him and us is getting larger and larger.”
“Alas, I’m old. It’s a world of young people now,” w.a.n.g Zhanhong said with a smile.
Currently, the three backbones of the w.a.n.g family were also in the Elixir Realm Last-Stage, so their cultivation speed was much slower. But they all knew that in the future, they would be able to reach the Yuan Ying Realm easily. However, it would take them much more time compared to those young people.
They could not help sighing with emotion.
This also reflected that everyone’s apt.i.tude was different.
Although many people had learned the cultivation method given by Zhang Han, their realms still varied. There were even gaps among the members of the security group. Leng Yue and the five generals such as Zhao Feng were well ahead of the rest and had reached the Yuan Ying Realm Middle-Stage, while most of the rest were in the Yuan Ying Realm Early-Stage and a small number of the people were in the Elixir Realm Peak-Stage.
Different apt.i.tudes resulted in different cultivation speeds. And the levels they would reach varied as well.
Since they could not figure out anything from Zhang Han’s practice, they went to the back mountain without disturbance after watching for a while.
Wisps of smoke were rising from the deep forest, indicating that the three Heihei powers were roasting meat.
Beside the cliff, the Thousand-formation Image was still attractive in the eyes of First Elder and the others.
The second and third days went by with nothing special.
Except for having meals and waiting for Zi Yan to fall asleep, Zhang Han spent the rest time practicing martial arts beside Mengmeng.
On the fifth day…
“Swoosh, swoos.h.!.+”
As Zhang Han was practicing martial arts, some sites of the surrounding s.p.a.ce seemed to be vibrating.
“Crack! Crack! Crack!”
Low-pitched thunder-like sounds were made by Zhang Han’s punches.
“The cracks have lasted from the morning to the noon.”
“Boss seems to be in cultivation.”
“The aura of this fist skill is too oppressive.”
Mu Xue, Sect Leader Mu, Chen Changqing, and the others were standing a hundred meters away from Zhang Han. Feeling the overwhelming aura, they were all shocked.
Zi Yan, Zhou Fei, Yue Xiaonao, and the others also stood on one side.
“Uncle Zhang is so powerful.” Nina looked thrilled.
“s.p.a.ce is being torn apart.” Felina looked serious and muttered in a low voice, “If I have to bear this kind of attack, I might not be able to hold a single punch.”
“The oppressive feeling is getting stronger and stronger.”
“I really cannot imagine what kind of attack means this is. I feel it’s much stronger than the supernatural power I’ve comprehended.”
The crowd discussed in low voices.
As if there were no one around, Zhang Han was immersed in his comprehension.
With every move he made, the power that tore s.p.a.ce apart became stronger and stronger.
The buzzes and vibrations around Zhang Han spread out in all directions.
Only the dozen meters of s.p.a.ce around Mengmeng was quiet.
Suddenly!
Zhang Han paused.
After letting out a long breath, he stopped the practice.
“I have created a set of battle methods for myself.”
“It fits my Immortal Body of the Five Elements.
“I will name this set of battle methods as… s.p.a.ce-splitting Punch.”
A cyan light glittered in Zhang Han’s eyes.
At 12:32 on July 5th, the s.p.a.ce-splitting Punch came into the world at Mount New Moon in Xiangjiang.
