Chapter 800 - 789: Enemy of the World
Ding Ling was about to pursue further, but suddenly noticed the grass beneath his feet turning into small snakes, winding around his ankles. Even the flowers not far away began to release strange fragrances, attempting to confuse and poison him.
Ding Ling pointed down with his finger.
Clang!
The Sword River erupted from his fingertips, transforming into a Sword Dragon that spun around him. Wherever the Sword Dragon passed, all grass and flowers were crushed to nothingness.
Ding Ling carefully observed this world.
He saw peculiar peaks a hundred miles away swaying like people, as if trying to encircle him;
The very air of this world began to slowly draw out, giving Ding Ling an increasingly suffocating sensation.
Not only that.
When Ding Ling tried to fly upwards, he inadvertently went underground.
Attempting to move left, he found himself uncontrollably moving right instead.
"The order of Heaven and Earth is completely reversed."
"What kind of world have I entered? How can Nanhua Old Immortal vanish without a trace?"
Ding Ling was puzzled.
Fortunately, his Body Refining had reached the Immortal realm.
Whether it was the War God Technique or the Dragon Elephant Wisdom Skill, Ding Ling had cultivated to Full Level previously, and had also absorbed numerous Great Medicines and divinities, making the War God Technique and others reach Great Perfection, birthing Divine Form and the War God Spirit Body.
The War God Spirit Body was akin to Ding Ling’s second soul.
As long as this spirit body remained unscathed.
Ding Ling could remain unharmed even if beheaded.
And afterward.
With the advent of the Martial Dao True Understanding.
The War God Spirit Body underwent a transformation, becoming the Martial Arts Spirit Body.
This Martial Arts Spirit Body emerged from the Body Refining Skill within the Martial Dao True Understanding.
And the Body Refining Skill was an essence merged from Dragon Elephant Wisdom Skill, War God Technique, World-Ending Demon Skill, Golden Bell Shield, Iron Cloth Shirt, and other Body Refining techniques.
Extremely formidable, it can directly reach the Martial Arts Battle Immortal Realm! Achieving the Martial Arts Immortal Body!
Of course.
Currently, Ding Ling’s Body Refining Skill could only be considered Golden Core Level.
But even so, its extraordinary nature allowed Ding Ling to easily withstand dismemberment without dying.
Thus.
Even as the air here became thinner, until eventually nearly all was drained away.
Ding Ling could still walk freely in this world, fiercely combating with flowers, grasses, and trees.
Bang!
The Sword River roared like a dragon, annihilating everything in its path.
Ding Ling moved swiftly, cutting through the vast grassland, sweeping away all obstructing plants and trees.
He smashed through the peculiar peaks.
Forcing his way from one part of the realm to the world’s edge.
Of course.
By now, Ding Ling had grasped some understanding.
"The entire world is opposing me."
"Flowers, grasses, and trees attempt to strangle and bind me. Peculiar peaks intend to crush me. Vast waves try to drown me. Even the air seeks to suffocate and poison me..."
Ding Ling was at a loss for words.
"How could it be like this?!"
He was somewhat baffled.
"This defies common sense. How did Nanhua Old Immortal manage it?!"
"Unless..."
Ding Ling ignored the entwining vines threatening to strangle him, looking at what was supposed to be the world’s edge, he circled around only to return to the starting point.
The so-called world’s edge is endless.
This seemed to be a sphere!
To confirm his suspicions.
Ding Ling swept all the way from the left to the furthest right;
Again from the front to the furthest end.
Several intersecting sweeps.
Erasing countless obstructing plants and trees, collapsing unknown numbers of mountains, overturning river after river...
Ding Ling understood:
"This is Nanhua Old Immortal’s internal world!"
Unexpectedly, Nanhua Old Immortal had cultivated an entire world.
I haven’t even achieved this!
Ding Ling was shaken.
Previously, he hadn’t considered this possibility at all.
Because he sensed Nanhua Old Immortal’s cultivation was just around the Middle Tier of First-grade Primordial Spirit, a rank above Kun, several ranks above him.
But his Martial Dao True Understanding could cheat fate, Reverse Ascension!
Combined with the Sword Spirit’s support, the blessings of the Netherworld’s Heavenly Dao.
Therefore, although Ding Ling’s current cultivation was only at the High Tier of Saint-Grade Golden Core, his overall strength was capable of contending with the High Tier of First-Grade Primordial Spirit!
Being so powerful himself.
But he had only cultivated an oval-shaped Grotto World Structure.
Let alone becoming a world.
Not even a grotto heaven.
Because he hadn’t even touched the border of creating a world, Ding Ling wouldn’t have thought in that direction.
But now faced with reality, he couldn’t help but consider it.
"No wonder this world is against me at every turn."
"That’s why it was me who came. Any ordinary Golden Core expert coming here would only meet death."
An ordinary Golden Core expert couldn’t survive without breathing while fiercely battling.
Moreover, this is a battle against an entire world.
A fight against air, plants, trees, mountains, rivers, and everything else.
A single mistake.
Like drinking a sip of water could choke you to death!
Taking a step could make you trip and fall to your death!
Only Ding Ling’s body, being Immortal, has no fear of falling, striking, drowning, or suffocating...
An ordinary Golden Core expert, lacking Ding Ling’s Body Refining standard, would likely perish upon arrival—a harsh reality.
"So, Nanhua Old Immortal, realizing he couldn’t defeat me, plans to trap me to death?"
Over time.
Facing an entire world, indeed, one might die from an unexpected misstep.
For the air inhaled was all poisonous.
Luckily, Ding Ling was Immune to All Poisons!
"Fortunately, I am versatile. Had there been any weakness, surviving this time would leave me crippled."
Ding Ling pondered:
"That old fox Nanhua Old Immortal is certainly extraordinary. But where exactly does he come from in the Upper Realm? What’s his secretive, sneaky move in the Lower Realm for? Just to refine the Heaven and Earth Pill for Kun?!"
Ding Ling was skeptical.
Nanhua Old Immortal had descended several times, imparting Immortal Techniques to others, for what purpose?!
How did Nanhua Old Immortal descend to the Lower Realm?!
This was what Ding Ling couldn’t fathom.
He was rewarded after clearing the game as a king, allowing him to descend.
Could it be...
"Is Nanhua Old Immortal also a game player, rewarded similarly?"
Ding Ling was uncertain.
He stopped overthinking and prepared to wreak havoc on this world.
"Since it’s confirmed to be Nanhua Old Immortal’s Inner Heaven and Earth world, to get out, I must shatter Heaven and Earth."
Ding Ling held his breath.
Ignoring the air’s toxicity,
the strangling flora,
the crushing mountains looming imminently;
the rivers sweeping over,
the earth’s pitfall, the lightning strikes from the sky...
He fixed his gaze on a single direction, beginning to slash unceasingly.
Celestial Cry Saber Technique!
Heaven and Earth Shattered!
With one strike, a thousand-foot long saber glow slashed the void, and a deep ravine appeared in the ground, so Ding Ling continued to slash downward.
Continuously hacking at the furrow, the ravine!
