Chapter 1409: Dont Blame Me For Bullying The Weak

As the overwhelming pressure filled the air, Pork Rong (猪肉荣) could still clasp his fists in a respectful gesture, remaining neither humble nor arrogant, displaying an extraordinary demeanor.

Jiang Yuan (姜源) watched with increasing admiration.

"Facing me, you can still maintain such composure, your fighting spirit even stronger than before. Truly, you are a talent worth nurturing."

"Unfortunately, you have chosen to align yourself with the demonic race, and for that, you must pay the price!"

Hearing this, the expressions of the shadowy figures behind him grew complex.

Even though they were reluctant to admit it, Pork Rong's displayed talent was indeed terrifying. To receive such high praise from Elder Jiang was already a feat that surpassed countless prodigies throughout the ages.

Facing this young man, several of them felt somewhat overshadowed.

After their defeat, they had lost face entirely!

Unconsciously, a hint of jealousy flickered in some of their eyes as they glanced at the weapon in Pork Rong's hand, unable to resist quietly sneering.

"So what if his talent is strong? His cultivation is still lacking. If we hadn't come here only with our avatars, how could this demon have been so arrogant until now?"

"Brother Lei speaks the truth. He only has a bit of talent and luckily defeated our avatars. Now, facing Elder Jiang, without even a decent weapon, he is doomed!"

"Evil has never triumphed over good since ancient times. No matter how strong his talent, once he falls into the demonic path, there is only death!"

...

As these righteous words continued, the shadowy figures regained their composure.

These exchanges never caused any change in Jiang Yuan's expression.

His eyes were solely focused on the calmly standing Pork Rong.

This ordinary-looking junior, now standing with his blade in hand, faced the disrespectful comments from his seniors with unshakable calmness.

Such mental fortitude was truly impeccable.

In terms of Dao heart alone, this young man was already on par with his peers.

It was hard to imagine.

What kind of arduous training had this young man undergone, what scenes had he witnessed, to achieve such composure?

If he could continue to grow...

Given time, his future would be limitless.

For Yunxing (云星) to have such a junior was truly a rarity. For him to perish now would be a great loss.

What a pity, what a pity.

The more Jiang Yuan looked, the more regret he felt, and a trace of sorrow flashed in his eyes. But when it came to the righteousness of the entire clan, personal emotions would not sway him in the slightest.

The next moment.

This ancient giant's eyes turned cold, and his thin lips parted slightly.

"Young one, don't blame me for bullying the weak."

As his words fell.

Jiang Yuan lightly raised his right hand and pointed forward with a single finger.

Instantly.

The profound power of ancient times condensed like a rainbow and shot forward. Wherever it passed, everything was engulfed in white light, and all things were bathed in a dazzling radiance!

Seeing this, the other shadowy figures exclaimed in awe!

"The Return to Origin Finger!?"

"Back then, Elder Jiang used this finger to sever the demonic path. With this move, all things lose their color. This young man is doomed!"

"Indeed! Even though Elder Jiang's avatar is less than 30% of his peak strength, using the Return to Origin Finger, even a late-stage Heavenly Transformation realm expert would struggle to escape unscathed, let alone him?"

"Exactly. He has talent but no weapon to rely on. He is destined to die!"

"However, this young man is indeed terrifying. To force Elder Jiang to use the Return to Origin Finger, even if he perishes, it is enough to be proud of."

As the exclamations continued.

The white light shot forward, and Pork Rong's eyes trembled!

The profound cultivation contained in this move made his expression change drastically. Facing a giant like Jiang Yuan, he couldn't afford to be careless. Instantly, he crossed his arms and pushed forward with his blade, using the blade to block!

The butcher's knife, marked by the passage of time, looked utterly ordinary, completely incomparable to the dazzling light. Pork Rong, gritting his teeth as he raised the blade, showed a strained expression on his face!

The stark contrast made the shadowy figures smile faintly.

The next moment.

The white light collided with the blade, erupting in a light that swallowed heaven and earth!

Pork Rong was pushed back, but the momentum of the white light did not diminish in the slightest. In the blink of an eye, the endless desert was turned into a snowy plain, and even the light of the sun was completely obscured!

The ancient shadowy figures were blinded by the light and could only sense the movements with their divine consciousness, marveling at Elder Jiang's power!

High in the sky.

The nervous onlookers also averted their eyes to avoid the blinding light.

The white light swallowed everything, and it was unclear how long it took for it to gradually dissipate.

The world was silent, utterly still.

When everyone opened their eyes, they saw that the ground had been split open by a bottomless chasm, as if the earth itself had cracked, stretching for hundreds of miles before finally stopping!

The power of a single finger was enough to split heaven and earth.

The Return to Origin Finger was truly terrifying!

The ancient shadowy figures looked on with reverence, not daring to speak.

However.

When they followed the chasm to its end, Pork Rong's figure was still standing!

Although he was panting and sweating, the overweight junior was still holding his blade, standing tall. After withstanding the Return to Origin Finger, not only had he not perished, but he was also completely unharmed, without a single visible wound?

How was this possible!

Shocked...

The four ancient shadowy figures were utterly shocked, their eyes widening in disbelief!

"This!"

"He actually withstood Elder Jiang's Return to Origin Finger!?"

"This young man is only at the mid-stage of the Heavenly Transformation realm, and he doesn't even have a protective treasure. He doesn't have a single weapon on him. How did he achieve such a miraculous feat!"

"Strange, strange!"

The shadowy figures were completely stunned, unable to believe what they were seeing. They didn't know how to explain it and suddenly seemed a bit flustered.

Their panicked expressions were as if they had seen some kind of monster.

No matter how they looked at each other, all they saw was doubt and confusion. Countless questions instantly filled their minds.

How had this young man achieved such a miracle?

By relying solely on his physical body?

Did that mean that his human flesh and blood had already surpassed the inherent weakness of the human race, reaching the level of some terrifying alien race?

This was simply absurd.

Did he rely on some profound insight to find a flaw in the Return to Origin Finger?

That was even more impossible!

Elder Jiang was a being who had stood tall for countless ages, the founder of countless Dao paths. Back then, he single-handedly severed the demonic path, a feat of unparalleled brilliance. No one in the world could surpass him in talent.

Moreover, Elder Jiang had experienced two epochs of slumber, and his understanding of the Dao and the laws of the universe had long since surpassed all living beings. He could even comprehend the will of heaven.

In terms of insight, who in the world could surpass him?

The Return to Origin Finger was undoubtedly the strongest killing move below the level of divine abilities!

How had this junior managed to withstand it?!

As the surrounding figures were filled with doubt, Jiang Yuan's expression also darkened slightly.

Looking at Pork Rong's panting figure, he once again felt a sense of surprise. It had been countless years since someone had made him pay such close attention, even causing him to feel a hint of astonishment.

At this moment.

Jiang Yuan finally took Pork Rong seriously, using his divine consciousness to thoroughly investigate.

When his gaze fell on the wide-bladed short knife, his pupils suddenly froze.

This blade...

On the surface, it looked utterly ordinary, like a mundane object from the mortal world. Yet, after withstanding the Return to Origin Finger, it showed not a single crack, and even its black color remained unchanged.

This was absolutely abnormal!

Even with less than 30% of his power, under the Return to Origin Finger, even a divine weapon would not remain unscathed, let alone a seemingly ordinary blade.

Something was wrong.

This blade was definitely not an ordinary divine weapon!

Realizing the key point.

Jiang Yuan suddenly felt a sinking feeling in his heart, an indescribable sense of unease growing within him.

The next moment.

Pork Rong slowly lowered the short knife, and his face, previously hidden, reappeared. Gone was the greasy smile, replaced only by a resolute expression.

In his eyes, a flash of cold intent suddenly appeared!

"Since the elder has made his move..."

"Now, it's my turn!"

As soon as the words fell, a cold wind swept across the heavens and the earth, causing even Jiang Yuan to feel an extremely ominous premonition, forcing him to focus entirely!

Before he could respond.

Pork Rong had already raised his blade and let out a fierce roar!

"Gut and Split!"

The name of the move was still crude, but no one dared to look down on it.

After what seemed like a simple upward slash, the blade emitted a terrifying aura, sweeping forward along the deep chasm in the ground. Whether in terms of momentum or the exaggerated ancient power, it was even more terrifying than before!

Even the deep chasm in the ground was being torn apart by the blade's energy!

The ground cracked even more, and the earth trembled!

The blade's light surged like magma from the depths, and wherever its edge passed, everything turned to dust. The shadowy figures were shocked, their expressions changing drastically. Even Jiang Yuan's pupils constricted!

This blade's momentum was something even he rarely saw!

It was no exaggeration to say that its power had surpassed the Return to Origin Finger!

Seeing the situation change drastically.

Jiang Yuan immediately mobilized all his cultivation, holding nothing back. His hands formed seals, and the ancient power caused his white hair to dance wildly. Even his avatar's shadow began to show cracks!

With a fierce roar, he pushed his right palm forward!

"All Laws Return to Origin!"
