1361 Chapter 1356-changing the great Dao and entering the beginner level of martial arts
In the cat world.
Fang ping left the origin realm, deep in thought.
Beside him, a small cat was a little nervous and said pitifully,””Liar, are you trying to pretend to be the captain of the cat guards?”
“Yes.”
!!
“But … Can you not burn it?”
“I don’t want him to die. If you burn the path, he might die,” the grey cat said.
When the great Dao burned, it was the true collapse of the Dao.
Even if Tian Chen changed his Dao, he might die.
The reason why it wasn’t a definite death was that if one was lucky, they might only be seriously injured.
However, the probability of death was still extremely high.
If not for this, di Xing would not have been coerced by Fang ping to help the human race.
Not only di Xing, but the previous Ming ting Thearch was also like this.
These people had changed their great DAOs, and their true DAOs were under Fang Ping’s control. Whether they lived or died would depend on whether Fang ping could sever their great DAOs.
Fang ping glanced at the gray cat and suddenly laughed.”Fat cat, I have a question for you …”
“I’m not fat!”
Cang Mao hurriedly explained,”three cats are fat!”
As she said that, she felt a little wronged. The three cats were dead.
Fang ping was helpless.”Alright, big cat it is then! Let me ask you, if tianchen and I were to fight to the death, one of us must die. Who do you think should die?”
“……”
“Chubby face and your mother fell into the river, who are you going to save …” Cang Mao said angrily.
“……”
Fang ping had nothing to say.
I’ll go!
The old cat actually retorted?
You even retorted until I’m speechless!
“Ahem, so what if they fell into the river? it’s fine even if you don’t save them …”
Cang Mao stared at him,”then if you don’t fight, you won’t die!”
“Yo, you’re so full of logic. Who did you learn it from?”
“You!”
“……”
Fang ping smiled bitterly. ‘Fine, you win.’
Did I teach you?
I don’t know!
Who knew if she had seen this cat on the internet, or if Fang Yuan had told her, or if she had mentioned it before?
Fang ping did not mention this again. He smiled and said,”the great Dao of breaking eight is extremely long and stable. How can it be broken so easily?” As long as there’s a little bit left, it’s useless. He doesn’t need it anyway. ”
Fang ping chuckled and said,”unless you encounter an Emperor, there’s no need to burn your great Dao.” When the true Emperor descends, I won’t be able to care about him or his great Dao. He might not die, but if I don’t burn it, I’ll be dead.
Big cat, are you going to watch me die?”
Cang Mao ignored him angrily.
It did not want Fang ping to burn down the great path of the captain of the cat guards.
“Alright, alright. How about this? I won’t burn even if I’m killed, but if I’m killed, the other party will definitely cut off my path. I think he’ll end up the same …”
Fang ping did not continue this topic. Very quickly, Fang ping laughed and said,”Big cat, what do you think is the difference between the true Dao and the false Dao?”
“I don’t know,”
“I know,”
Fang ping grinned and said,”I’ve taken a look. Tian Chen’s great Dao could be the truth!” Actually, there wasn’t much of a difference. The fake Dao all had the gate of void, but the true Dao didn’t seem to have one.
Even if there was, it would only be a broken one for show.
Old w.a.n.g and iron head were both like this, and old Yao should be the same.
Their truth realm also had a gate, but the gate was all open, and it was just for show.
“Tian Chen seems to be the same. The doors of his other two DAOs are open. I don’t know if the doors are broken or if they were originally like this.
In the path of mind power, the door is also open, but his third path hasn’t reached the gate of void yet. If he had, he wouldn’t need to break down the door, he could just pa.s.s through it. ”
Cang Mao was confused. He said casually,”yes, they didn’t close the door. What’s wrong?”
Was it strange?
Tian Chen had died long ago, so who would seal the door?
“Idiot, I mean, if Tian Chen dies and there is no heavenly change …”
The old cat stared at him.
...
“I mean, his great Dao has collapsed. If there is no heavenly change, it means that he is actually not under the control of the celestial source.”
The grey cat nodded.
“In that case, the difference between the true Dao and the false Dao lies in the three gates of void …”
Fang ping touched his chin and said,”the Emperor might be controlling martial artists through the gateway!” There must be a connection between the gate and the immortal source. ”
Cang Mao continued to nod, it should be?
And then?
Fang ping said tiredly,”are you stupid? it’s hard for us to go to the celestial source, but there’s still a chance to go to the door!” Perhaps this problem could be solved through the door, and people would not be controlled by the celestial source.
Now that everyone knew that there was a problem with the immortal source, they were all staring at it, including the Emperor.
But no one seems to have thought that the celestial source is related to the gate, so we can solve the problem of being controlled through the gate. The fake Dao has also become the true Dao!”
The grey cat looked at him adorably, was there a difference?
Forget it. Fang ping could not be bothered to explain to it.
...
Of course there was a difference!
However, he had nothing to say to this cat.
Fang ping had a little antic.i.p.ation. How much could he keep after installing the Heavenly Star great Dao?
His combat power had been more than 43 million at its peak, and after cutting off some of his mentality, it was still more than 42 million.
He did not need much, just a 50% increase, which meant that his combat power would soar to more than 60 million in 500 meters.
He was chasing after a spiritual Emperor!
Tian Chen was an expert at the peak of breaking 8. It shouldn’t be a problem for him to stay 500 meters, right?
Fang ping felt that it should not be big!
If that was the case, he would be able to take on an Emperor in a one-on-one battle!
Of course, it was an outsider’s Dao after all. What he was afraid of was that the great Dao would be unstable and break.
High-intensity battles also consumed a lot of the great Dao.
Even so, Fang ping felt that he could sustain it for a battle.
Fang ping decided to give it a try now.
He wanted to see how much he could keep.
With this in mind, he did not panic even if he encountered trouble. He estimated that there might be an Emperor’s avatar coming to kill him.
He wasn’t afraid before, and he was even less afraid now.
However, he had only been thinking about dealing with the emperor’s clone previously … If he had made great progress this time, should he plot against an Emperor?
Fang ping did not hesitate anymore and entered the origin realm again.
He wanted to try installing it, in case it completely collapsed.
He felt that he would at least leave some of the Dao of breaking eight, so that it would not be completely crushed.
Let’s see how much we can keep!
……
A few minutes later, Fang ping walked out again.
At this moment, Fang ping was in a daze. He punched the air …
The grey cat looked at him angrily!
The scammer killed many fish-headed demons with a single punch, and the entire cat world was shaking.
“Don’t be angry, I’ll fill you in later. ”
Fang ping did not have time to reply. He was still in a daze. It was really strong!
It was a completely different feeling!
At this moment, he felt that he could beat the Heavenly King to death.
[Wealth: 280 billion points]
[Vitality: 00000 Cal (18 million)]
[Mentality: Mach 0 (180000Hz)]
[Force: 1800 origin (36 million Cal vitality)]
[Jade bone: 99%(with vitality change)]
[Source world: 1680 meters]
[Origin amplification: fake Dao (60%)]
[Combat technique: chaos-vanquis.h.i.+ng saber technique (+18%)]
[Power control: 99%]
[Explosive limit: 63439200Cal/64080000Cal]
Previously, when he had cut off 10000 Hz of mentality for his clone, Fang Ping’s mentality and vitality had declined a little.
After merging with many cities on earth, the source world had expanded to 1680 meters. However, it did not help Fang ping much this time. It was still his original vitality and mentality.
Fang ping predicted that there would be an increase at 2000 meters.
However, it was no longer important now!
More importantly, Tian Chen’s Dao had been compressed to 600 meters!
On the other hand, the 600-meter long great Dao had actually given Fang Ping An increase of tens of millions, instantly raising his combat strength to more than 60 million Cal.
Fang ping was really surprised. It could really increase!
The Dao of origin was truly too profound.
No wonder the celestial Thearch wanted to cultivate the origin Dao. Even now, Fang ping was pleasantly surprised by the increase of tens of millions of Cal.
The celestial Thearch was also an early stage martial artist back then. He did not have the Origin’s amplification, but he probably had the power to break nine. After he created the origin, perhaps his combat power directly soared to more than 100 million Cal!
One could imagine that such a rapid rise was an indescribable temptation to anyone.
There were so many flaws in the Dao of origin, but why was it that no one was willing to give up?
The nine emperors and the celestial Thearch were both unwilling to do so!
Actually, Fang ping was not very willing to do so. If he had not known that his origin Dao was being controlled, he would probably want to cultivate another Dao now.
It was too terrifying!
At his level, he could still easily increase his strength by tens of millions of Cal. Who would not be tempted by such an increase?
He would not be able to cultivate at the beginner level.
If he were to tell the G.o.d of the underworld that he would be given a 100% boost if he was given an origin Dao, would the G.o.d of the underworld accept it?
No doubt!
With a 100% increase, underworld G.o.d would be a powerhouse with 60 to 70 million Cal of vitality. How could he give up?
At that time, they wouldn’t care about the difference between the beginner origin martial arts anymore. They only cared about it now because they couldn’t cultivate the origin Dao.
“More than 60 million Cal …”
Fang ping looked at the gray cat and suddenly laughed.”Big cat, why don’t you give me a punch? If I can kill you, I should be able to kill that old ghost, the Heavenly King of suppression …”
Cang Mao rolled its eyes, no way!
Why should I let you hit me?
“Don’t burn the captain’s path!”
Cang Mao still warned.
It did not want Fang ping to burn the path and the captain of the cat guards to suffer a backlash.
“Don’t worry. I’m so strong, why would I need to use the burning great Dao?”
Fang ping suddenly felt a little impulsive.”Big cat, why don’t we kill our way up to the ninth heaven now? the emperors should be suppressing the natural source now. As for the celestial source, at most, they’ll have a few clones. Even if they have three to five clones, I don’t think it’ll be difficult to beat them to death!
We’ll destroy the celestial source and let them scheme against us!”
“……”
The old cat didn’t want to speak.
Before they came, they had agreed to cooperate with beginner martial stage, but now the scammer wanted to fight his way up to the ninth heaven.
“You’re so powerful,” the gray cat said gloomily.”They’ll definitely run out of the origin. Even if something happens to the origin, they’ll kill you and go back to suppress it.”
“That’s true …”ƒ?ℯ???????e?. ???
Fang ping dispelled this thought for the time being. Besides, the origin Dao was not safe. After all, it was not the Emperor Dao. He was worried that the Emperor would have a way to confine his great Dao. That would be troublesome.
It was very possible!
They even cut off his great Dao and prevented it from increasing.
Was that even possible?
There was!
Fang ping felt that now was not the time. There was hope in ambus.h.i.+ng an Emperor, but if one was ambus.h.i.+ng, the second one would definitely have a way to resist.
Fang ping suddenly licked his lips and mumbled,”Why don’t I … Reveal my ability to break nine? Break nine, kill the emperor’s avatar. There might be an Emperor coming in person. Should I plot against him?
“When the emperors make a move, at most one of them will come to deal with me. It’s impossible for two emperors to come. After all, there’s a problem with the origin and they have to suppress it.
Perhaps … I can kill an Emperor this time!”
Cang Mao was used to it. Every time a liar came out and said that a small thing would become a big thing.
For example, the last time, they said they killed a few catacombs venerable sovereigns. In the end, two died and eight broke. In the end, it even evolved into a great battle with the Emperor.
From venerable sovereign to Emperor.
This time, the scammer said that he would deal with a beginner martial artist. There were many beginner martial artists who had broken eight levels. Now, from breaking eight to killer Emperor … It didn’t seem like a big leap.
However, Cang Mao still mumbled,”even if you have installed a Dao, you are not as strong as many emperors. Even the last ranked fatty is not sure of his strength. You can’t kill them. They will kill you.”
Fang ping raised his brows slightly. That was true. In that case, even if he had installed a great Dao, he would not be able to kill the Emperor.
In that case, the Emperor would be on guard instead.
“If I can’t kill him … What if old ghost Zhen is added to the mix?”
Fang ping mumbled. What if the Heavenly King was included?
What if I add a page boy?
What if you add a bunch of 8%?
What if he fused with some other experts?
Could he?
Can I?
He didn’t know!
“If they can hold the Emperor back, I only need to cut the Emperor into pieces with one strike. Even if the Emperor doesn’t die, he’ll be crippled!”
The Emperor was not an idiot. He would just stand there and let you strike.
But what if there was someone who could restrain him?
Could the Heavenly King and the others work together?
Fang ping was not sure. After all, the Kings now were all very strong.
If it was 30000 years ago, it would not have been difficult for him to kill an Emperor.
Now … The difficulty was very high.
If the Heavenly King and the others could not hold them back, it would be extremely difficult for Fang ping to kill the Emperor. It was almost impossible.
However, as long as he could pin down the other party, making it impossible for the other party to escape or leave, Fang ping might have a chance to kill the other party if he used all his strength in one slash.
“Who should I kill?”
Fang ping fell into deep thought.
This wasn’t something he could decide, but it wasn’t impossible to control which Emperor to descend.
For example, he could insult the other party and madly insult them!
Mockery, humiliation, disdain, and even standing on the head of the other party’s clone to s.h.i.+t!
Could the other party endure it?
It would be a wonder if he could endure it!
Big shots were magnanimous and usually didn’t argue with small people …
He was just saying it!
If he could, why not?
You’re a weakling, yet you’re taking a sh * t on the other party’s head. It would be strange if they didn’t beat you to death!
No one could resist it.
Bearing and magnanimity were all nonsense at this point. The Emperor had nothing to worry about. Besides, they had wanted to kill Fang ping in the first place. Fang ping was not their chess piece. The divine Emperor’s attack on Fang ping last time was proof of that.
Since he wasn’t his chess piece, it didn’t matter if he was killed.
“I still need to carefully calculate …”
Fang ping mumbled,”which of the nine emperors hates me more? And they are weaker?”
Above spirit Emperor was Emperor Nan, with a minimum of 70 million Cal.
In fact, even if it was Emperor Nan, Fang ping would find it difficult to kill him.
With a base of 70 million Cal, Fang ping had given it his all, but he had not exceeded the opponent’s limit. The probability of killing the opponent was extremely low.
But now that he thought about it, it wasn’t illegal.
In any case, Fang ping felt that he really had a trump card this time.
If he could not kill an Emperor, it would be difficult for the few weak emperors to kill him.
“If Tian Chen’s great Dao is burned, it might be even stronger. However, Tian Chen might be killed … If Tian Chen is killed, Cang Mao will be in trouble …”
Fang ping considered it for a while and decided to hold it in.
However, it seemed that it was fine to expose the strength of nine-breakthrough.
I’ve already revealed my ability to break nine levels. Do you think I’m stronger?
No way!
Even stone break and chaos probably wouldn’t think he was stronger.
However, they knew that he had taken Tian Chen’s great Dao, so they might have thought in this direction. It all depended on whether they could guess how much stronger Fang ping would become after taking Tian Chen’s great Dao.
“I still need to have a strong foundation. If I have a strong foundation, with 60 million Cal, coupled with the 78% increase in combat techniques and the Dao of origin … Then I’ll be able to reach a hundred million!”
And this was still in the integration of Earth’s cities and the replacement of True Blood.
……
Fang Ping’s real body was planning, while his clone was hurrying on his way.
Chuwu continent was very far from the catacombs, but it was not far for Fang ping.
He was too lazy to walk too fast, so he took it slow and was not in a hurry.
He would rush over when Chu Wu received the news.
He didn’t want them to think that he had come secretly and wanted to harm them.
Furthermore, it would give the emperors some time to prepare. Wouldn’t they need to discuss which clone to send over?
He would give them time!
That’s right, even if Fang ping was clearly going to eat the clones of the emperors, he would not be afraid even if three to five of them came.
He wasn’t afraid before because he had the Heavenly King and his page boy.
Now … He was even less afraid!
Even if the clone broke nine, it would only burst at the limit of more than 40 million Cal. Fang ping would be much stronger with the clone.
“Tian Chen’s Dao is so awesome. What about old ghost Zhen?”
Fang Ping’s clone started to stroke his chin.
How about he let old ghost Zhen change the main road and install it himself? it might leave behind a thousand meters, and he would be rich.
He would just kill the Emperor!
However, Fang ping shook his head very quickly. Forget it. It would be a wonder if this old ghost gave it to him. If he did, he would break it, burn a part of it, and leave the 1000-meter mark for him. He would be furious.
At that moment, iron head shouted,”we’re almost there!” The sacred martial continent is just ahead of us, and the skyarm continent is just ahead of the sacred martial continent …”
Fang Ping’s eyes flickered.”There’s no sacred martial continent. These people seem to have pushed all the continents together and merged them into one.”
It seemed like the beginner level was also combining his strength.
Previously, the G.o.d of the underworld had led chuwu continent for eight thousand years and had never unified it. Chuwu continent had its own camps. Now, it seemed that it was because fist G.o.d and the others had returned, and chuwu continent had been unified.
As soon as Fang ping arrived at this area of the sea, he felt waves of mentality fluctuations.
Someone was hiding in the dark and delivering the news.
It was probably to inform the people of Chu Wu continent that he had come.
“Big cat, transform into a Tiger. You still have to give me some face.”
Fang ping felt that he could not be too disrespectful.
Cang Mao was the enemy of the other party. If he directly brought Cang Mao here, he wouldn’t be giving them any face.
Even if he turned into a Tiger, he would still be able to save face.
At least I didn’t provoke you, right?
“Even if beginner martial arts can see through me, it’s fine. I’ve given you face, so you guys should give me some face too, right?
Giving each other face was the foundation of cooperation.
Otherwise, how could they cooperate?
These people didn’t let go of the old cat, so they couldn’t work together.
After Fang ping finished speaking, the gray cat did not pay much attention. It changed its form, and in an instant, a silly and cute little tiger appeared.
“Aowu!”
Cang Mao meowed once, feeling quite satisfied. The Tiger was quite good.
At the side, the heavenly Hound’s face stiffened!
Who can’t see that you’re the old cat?
Change what!
“Also, when we went to the secret realm, the cat was like this. It’s still like this now. Were you an idiot back then?
There was no sincerity at all!
“Fang ping …”
The heavenly Hound was not as confident as Fang ping. It growled,””There are a lot of people at the beginner level who have broken eight, and there are also many who have broken seven and six! “Also … They can seal essences. Don’t forget!
If you insist on bringing this stupid cat here, then protect it well … Otherwise, I’ll never let you off!”
It wasn’t confident that it could protect the gray cat. There were several beginner martial artists who were stronger than it.
Fang ping waved his hand and said impatiently,”what trouble can there be?” Tian bi and Ming Shen know my personality. Even if fist G.o.d and the rest don’t know, they know that I killed the Dao tree. How dare they provoke me?”
The skilled were bold. Since Fang ping dared to come, he was naturally prepared to fall out with them.
The initial martial stage was a big problem!
They had been wanting to kill the gray cat for tens of thousands of years, yet they were still so persistent. Fang ping had to figure out what they were thinking.
Otherwise, once the battle started, these guys would turn around and attack. Fang ping felt that it would be more troublesome than Tian Chen.
No matter what, Tian Chen was only one person.
The initial martial stage had dozens of Heavenly Kings!
As Fang ping was thinking, someone broke through the air from far away and laughed.”Human King, I’ve long received the news of your arrival. I apologize for not coming out to welcome you!”
The person was Tian bi.
He had the deepest relations.h.i.+p with Fang ping. When the beginner martial arts team received the news, they naturally sent heavenly arm to welcome them.
Fang ping was the human King and had even killed the Dao tree. This was prestige. If he did not break eight to welcome him, he would be looking down on Fang ping.
Naturally, the G.o.d of the underworld would not let such a thing happen. There was no need to embarra.s.s Fang ping over such a small matter.
At first, Tian bi was still smiling …
When he got closer, his smile suddenly stiffened and gradually began to fade.
He was not surprised that Fang ping had come.
Li Hansong’s presence was a good thing.
The longevity sword had come. This was Fang Ping’s sincerity, his sincerity for cooperation. After all, there were many beginner martial stage powerhouses. Fang ping had brought his own teacher along, so he had to consider the possibility of falling out. The longevity sword was not considered strong, and there was a risk of death …
Fang ping had indeed shown his sincerity by bringing his men here, because he felt that they could cooperate.
But … Why did the heavenly Hound come?
The heavenly Hound was here, but it was nothing.
Chuwu and the Tengu had a grudge and had even killed it once before. However, it was normal for there to be wins and losses in a battle between experts. It could only be said that the Tengu was not as strong as chuwu.
But … But the little tiger on Fang Ping’s shoulder …
Tian bi didn’t think that the little tiger was cute at all. He was only shocked!
This was big trouble!
Why did Fang ping bring the gray cat here?
It was fine before. Now, fist G.o.d and the others wanted to kill the gray cat. Now, the gray cat came to their door. Do you think they should help?
Tian BI’s smile became even more stiff. Suddenly, his qi and blood shook, deliberately shaking the void to shatter the few psyche forces that were coming from behind!
He couldn’t let fist G.o.d find out, or he would be in big trouble.
“Fang ping!”
Tian bi forced a smile back on his face and said,””The human King’s presence this time is the Fortune of the beginning stage of martial arts! However, the heavenly Hound and fist G.o.d have some misunderstandings … Do you think …”
Tian bi smiled and gestured at the heavenly dog. His eyes were apologetic as he said,”Why don’t we let the heavenly Hound wait here for a while?”
“There’s a small island 80000 miles away from here,” Tian bi said with a smile.”There are many heavenly Dragonfish gathered near the island. They’re not strong, but they’re delicious. Heavenly dog, why don’t you take a rest over there?”
Small fish, delicious …
Tian bi clearly knew about Cang Mao’s interests and had purposely said this so that the heavenly Hound and Cang Mao could leave together. That way, they could still have a good talk.
However, these two had followed Fang ping to Chu Wu continent. He was worried that they would fall out as soon as they arrived!
As Tian bi spoke, he gave Fang ping a helpless look.
Don’t bring the old cat with you!
It would be very troublesome!
It wasn’t easy to suppress the thought of fist G.o.d and the others going to the human world to kill the cat. You brought the cat, isn’t this adding fuel to the fire?
“Heavenly Dragonfish?”
Cang Mao was overjoyed,”I … No, I haven’t eaten fish in a long time. Are there many heavenly Dragonfish there?”
Tian BI’s head was hurting. ‘This Tiger, do you think I’m blind?’
If you go there like this, fist G.o.d and the others will see through you at a glance.
“There are a lot of heavenly Dragonfish over there …”
“I’m going fis.h.i.+ng … I’m going fis.h.i.+ng!”
Fang ping said indifferently,”you don’t have a fis.h.i.+ng rod, what are you fis.h.i.+ng for?!” Let’s go to the Chu Wu continent first and talk about fis.h.i.+ng later!”
He knew what Tian bi meant, but this time, he had specially brought Cang Mao here!
What he was worried about was that Chu Wu wanted to deal with Cang Mao, which would cause a conflict between the two sides. If he didn’t resolve it now, was he going to hide forever?
How was that possible?
The gray cat’s combat strength had broken nine. Fang ping could not possibly not let it go to the battlefield. Of course, there was no need to kill, but mentality intimidation was enough.
Could it be that Cang Mao had to hide from the people of beginner martial arts?
What kind of logic was this!
Therefore, this time, he had to bring the gray cat along. Fang ping was really not trying to provoke them. He was trying to solve the problem.
“Senior Tian bi, there’s no need to say anymore. We’re not tired. Let’s go to Chu Wu continent first …”
“Fang ping!”
Tian BI’s expression changed slightly.”Let them stay. What do you think?”
“Not much!”
Fang ping frowned.”Don’t worry, senior. Even if someone attacks canghu … Canghu, we can understand. We’ll just talk slowly. It’s not like there’s no way to talk. I’m not the kind of person who’s overbearing.”
He had thought of this point. Fist G.o.d and the others might attack the gray cat as soon as they came, but if he showed off his thick arms, the two sides could still sit down and talk slowly.
At any time, strength spoke the loudest. The human race was not weak, so he did not need to lose his reputation.
It wasn’t a bad idea to have a fight first and then have a good talk.
However, Tian bi was not as optimistic as him!
Fist G.o.d and the others were very stubborn. They were afraid that it was not as simple as a fight. They were really going to kill!
What about Fang ping?
Could he tolerate it for a while, or could he tolerate it forever?
This is really troublesome!
The feeling that Fang ping gave him now was not as strong as breaking two gates. Even with the addition of the Tengu, there were only two breaking two gates. The fist G.o.d might leave them behind.
Tian bi was having a headache, but Fang ping did not care. He laughed. “Let’s go, senior. There’s no reason to block the guests and not let them in! I’m a reasonable person, and I don’t kill people everywhere I go. Senior has cooperated with us many times, and you’re half a master to iron head, so how could we kill you?”
Fang ping laughed out loud, acting as if he was a good person. Tian BI’s eyelids trembled as he watched.
