The Imperial Guards began to head towards the spot where the dragon's head had fallen. From afar, Jiang Liu saw Cheng Tieniu, a towering figure like a black tower. After the battle of Jiangnan, he had been promoted to the leader of the Imperial Guards and was deeply trusted by Li Shimin.
At this moment, Cheng Tieniu took the lead, followed by soldiers in black armor.
The corpse of a true dragon is the most precious material for refining weapons, and is priceless.
Jiang Liu looked again at the mysterious young Taoist priest, but the window was now empty.
With Jiang Liu's current Celestial Immortal realm, if he were to suppress his strength, even an Earth Immortal would have difficulty sensing him. Coupled with the concealment of "the one who vanished," the young Taoist naturally did not notice that someone had developed a great interest in him.
"If I'm not mistaken, that young Taoist priest should be following the cultivation system and has already reached the Nascent Soul stage... but it seems to be more than that. There is a mysterious aura surrounding him, making it difficult to perceive his true strength."
Within the young man's abdomen, Jiang Liu sensed a tiny, infant-like figure sitting upright, meditating and breathing deeply. However, Jiang Liu felt this was something the young man had deliberately revealed.
"This is invisibility? Hmm, true invisibility, this is the power of the rules... Wait, even Mu Zha couldn't see through his invisibility? If I hadn't escaped, and if I didn't have the Origin Heaven Divine Sense, it would have been really hard to find him..."
Jiang Liu stood at a distance with his hands behind his back, blending into the crowd with Mu Zha, unnoticed by the young Taoist. In this world of Journey to the West, he possessed one-fiftieth of the Great Dao, making him the dominant force.
"Haha, the bloodline of the true dragon is in my hands!" The young Taoist carefully collected a small bottle of dragon blood. Seeing that there was no danger, he looked greedily at the huge dragon head and the dragon corpse.
"Although the dragon race is pitifully weak in the Journey to the West world, not every world is like the Journey to the West world, directly transformed from the primordial land, with sages and Great Luo Golden Immortals... If I obtain this dragon corpse and research its true dragon bloodline, it will be of great use. I'll take it..."
The young Taoist priest approached the dragon's head with trepidation. The corpse of the Celestial Dragon naturally possessed a terrifying pressure. Even though his cultivation had reached the Nascent Soul realm, he could not completely withstand it.
Jiang Liu frowned and muttered, "Could it really just be a Nascent Soul cultivator? Or is he just pretending to be weak to deceive others..."
The dragon corpse and dragon head vanished instantly, and no trace of dragon aura appeared again. Clearly, this Taoist priest possessed a supreme treasure capable of concealing heavenly secrets.
Perhaps it is also "the one who has escaped" from another world!
"The dragon corpse is gone!" Mu Zha exclaimed in surprise, his mouth agape. Then, as if sensing something, he looked intently in the direction where the Taoist had disappeared. Just as the dragon corpse was being collected, the Taoist's invisibility technique showed a slight flaw.
Among the Imperial Guards, Cheng Tieniu suddenly stomped the ground, rushed over, slammed the giant axe in his hand onto the ground, and roared, "Who took the dragon corpse? Hand it over at once!"
The Taoist priest ignored him completely, collected the dragon's corpse, and left.
Mu Zha immediately gave chase.
Jiang Liu, hanging far behind, noticed that this Taoist priest who had traveled through time was extremely cautious and proficient in the Five Elements Escape Technique.
After leaving Chang'an, the young Taoist priest entered the Jing River and used water magic to enter the Dragon Palace.
"How dare they be so audacious as to raid the hometown of the Jing River Dragon King after he was beheaded!"
Jiang Liu sneered and stopped approaching, instead using his Origin Heaven Divine Sense to observe the underwater movements. Sure enough, the Daoist's strength was not as weak as it appeared; he was not merely a Nascent Soul cultivator.
The shrimp soldiers and crab generals in the Jinghe Dragon Palace were no match for them. Their Five Elements Divine Power was so superb that they stormed into the Dragon Palace.
"As expected, his strength is not just at the Nascent Soul stage! He dared to keep Muzha at bay and even dared to raid the Dragon King's estate in the Jing River. It seems he is not afraid of Muzha. Muzha is going to suffer..."
From afar, Jiang Liu saw Mu Zha and the Taoist priest engage in combat.
"A fire person?" Jiang Liu was extremely surprised. Just a moment ago, he was a Taoist cultivator with an air of otherworldly elegance, but after fighting with Mu Zha, he instantly transformed into a fiercely burning fire person.
Mu Zha's two Wu Hook swords rose up like two dragons, but they had no effect on the elusive flames.
"Mere flame transformations? Watch me break through them!"
Mu Zha made a hand seal, and nine water dragons roared as they charged towards the fire man.
But in the blink of an eye, the fire-man underwent a new transformation, becoming an ice man made of solid ice. An endless chill swept over, freezing the water dragons one by one.
Jiang Liu couldn't help but smile. The Taoist priest wasn't a cultivator; his true identity was actually an extremely powerful superhuman.
Fire people, ice people, immortality, invisibility... or even more!
"Did he somehow merge all the superheroes from the entire American comic book universe?"
Chapter 362 Marvel Visitors
There is no necessary correlation between cultivation level and combat strength. For example, Tieguai Li of the Eight Immortals is close to the level of a Celestial Immortal, but in terms of combat strength, he is inferior to Shishila, who has just entered the Earth Immortal realm.
But when it comes to alchemy skills, even ten Jiang Lius couldn't compare.
There is a sequence to learning, and each profession has its own expertise; that's all there is to it!
There are also the two fellow disciples, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, whose divination skills are unmatched even by Golden Immortals. But when it comes to actual combat, Xie Chou, the Great Water Buffalo, can chase and hack away for ten streets with an axe.
Qi cultivators cultivate immortality, a sublimation of body and soul. Therefore, some immortals may appear weak in combat, but they possess long and enduring lives, transcending the cycle of reincarnation.
Of course, Qi cultivators are not without means to protect their path and subdue demons. As long as they refine magical treasures, they can always use their Dao to suppress others.
As a disciple of the Bodhisattva, Muzha possessed numerous supernatural powers and magical treasures. His two Wu Hook Swords had been refined for two thousand years, using precious materials such as refined gold from all directions and forged with the Samadhi True Fire of Taoism and the Red Lotus Karmic Fire of Buddhism. Although they failed to be refined into acquired spiritual treasures, they were still extremely high-level among immortal artifacts, far stronger than the Purple and Green Twin Swords that Jiang Liu obtained in the Shu Mountain World.
Two sword lights, like divine dragons soaring through the sky, crossed paths and lashed out at the transmigrator. Instantly, a piercing metallic scraping sound echoed through the sky.
At this moment, the transmigrator who came to the Journey to the West world to cause trouble transformed into a metal man. Wu Gou Sword slashed at him repeatedly, but to no avail. The damage he caused was not as fast as the metal man recovered.
"Colossus?!" Jiang Liu became increasingly curious about this visitor from another world.
It's hard not to be surprised that someone can master so many mutant superpowers.
"He has actually mastered the Five Elements Divine Power to such an extent!" Mu Zha took a deep breath, his seemingly frail body trembled, his delicate skin turned dark gold, and a terrifying aura, as if mountains were about to collapse and the earth were about to crack, surged up from his body and shattered the rocks around him with a loud boom!
The Vajra Body Protection Technique in Buddhism.
Then, a dark gold iron rod appeared in Muzha's hand. It had no decorations and seemed to be just an ordinary iron rod.
But that's not actually the case; the Iron Cudgel is Muzha's true killing move. This extremely ordinary cudgel, like the Ruyi Jingu Bang (Golden Cudgel), was made by Laozi (Taishang Laojun).
"Haha, so you are Muzha? It seems you have wasted two thousand years..."
Muzha was enveloped in golden light, the golden light of Buddhism, which possessed the power to subdue demons. The golden light was dazzling, but it had no effect on the transmigrator at all.
Chapter 363: The Universe Cube
"What kind of flame is this?"
The Hulk transformed rapidly, his body engulfed in orange flames, returning to his Fire Man form. The blazing flames distorted the air, making him appear like an even more dazzling sun in the sky.
He thought he could become immune to fire damage by becoming a fire spirit, but this time traveler was being too naive.
The Red Lotus Karmic Fire released by Muzha was no ordinary fire; it could unleash boundless energy using karma as fuel. While the transmigrator could sever ties with cause and effect, and the Red Lotus Karmic Fire couldn't cause fatal damage, the fire Jiang Liu added was far from simple.
This is the immortal fire of the Fire Domain in the "Covering the Sky" world. Even powerful experts at the level of great power find it difficult to withstand. Although this transmigrator has a wide range of methods, he has not yet reached the level of being able to withstand the immortal fire.
To prevent any accidents, Jiang Liu unleashed his true power. The ancient and majestic bronze cauldron transformed into a towering structure, like a mountain, awe-inspiring and imprinted on the void. The Dao, woven from the interplay of heaven and earth, slowly rotated on the cauldron, emanating an indescribable pressure.
The cauldron sealed off the space, preventing him from escaping. Then, Jiang Liu struck out with a palm, and a vortex immediately appeared in his palm, turning into a millstone that crushed him.
This strike incorporated the "Fighting" technique from the Nine Secrets, the essence of the Immortal Martial Arts' fist intent, and even more powerful than the Heaven and Earth Millstone, almost materializing into reality. Under its full force, the "All" technique was also triggered, unleashing a tenfold power buff.
With a single palm strike, everything was reduced to nothingness, creating a vacuum.
Under the terrifying blow, the transmigrator's eyes were bloodshot with rage. The internal crisis of the flames was not yet resolved, and the external crisis was rapidly approaching, causing him to roar in anger.
Unable to resolve the fire crisis, the Fire Man instantly transforms into the Ice Man. Beyond the endless deep cold, the flames continue to burn, melting the solid ice and making his screams even more piercing. He then continuously changes his superpowers.
"Ah...ah...I'm going to die here!"
Amidst the constant changes, Jiang Liu discovered that he could only possess one superpower at a time, occasionally two superpowers would appear simultaneously. These numerous superpowers reminded Jiang Liu of "Legion" from Marvel.
Legion, the son of Professor X Charles, is an Omega-level mutant and a severe case of multiple personality disorder. He can absorb the consciousness of others into himself. He possesses thousands of personalities and thousands of abilities, and can continuously deploy different personalities in battle.
One personality represents one superpower, while Daqun can absorb the consciousness and abilities of others indefinitely, and each absorbed consciousness and ability is independent. This gives him multiple personalities and a variety of superpowers. However, if his mind is slightly distracted, these personalities will repel each other, bringing him to the brink of collapse.
If Daqun were possessed by a transmigrator and his personalities were controlled, it wouldn't be difficult for him to control countless superpowers at will. At least, Jiang Liu felt that if he were to possess Daqun now, he could achieve a level of perfection even greater than that transmigrator.
Because his spiritual sense is powerful, he can multitask, or even use multiple things at once. This means that he can use multiple superpowers simultaneously.
One plus one does not equal two. The superpowers of the two combined can unleash power many times over.
Finally, under immense internal and external crises, this time traveler, along with a large group of similar figures, sensed the danger.
He's trying to escape.
If you lack strength, make up for it with equipment!
In an instant, an incredibly rich blue light emanated from his body, immediately attracting Jiang Liu's attention, whose eyes flashed with amazement.
Under the divine perception of the source heaven, it was a cube-shaped blue crystal the size of an infant's head. In the center of the crystal, one could seem to see the workings of the universe. The entire crystal radiated a mesmerizing azure divine light. Looking at this cube-shaped blue crystal, it was as if one could see the entire universe.
"What is this? The Cosmic Cube!"
Jiang Liu's eyes narrowed involuntarily. He sensed that the small crystal contained boundless energy. Immediately, a glint of greed flashed deep within his eyes.
The Tesseract in the Marvel universe is said to be a treasure possessing inexhaustible energy. In Jiang Liu's perception, the energy is almost boundless, as vast as the ocean.
The Marvel universe is a complex plane; it's not simply a science fiction plane, nor a mythological plane, nor a fantasy plane. This plane has high technology, gods, and even countless bizarre and wonderful superheroes.
Familiar names include Spider-Man, Iron Man, and the X-Men...
Hidden behind Earth is the realm of gods. Judging from the Thor movies, this world has so-called gods, and even the world Earth is in is just one of the nine universes.
The vastness of the Marvel universe is beyond anyone's imagination.
This is a vast and magnificent world, where advanced martial arts are in no way inferior to those of the immortal and demonic worlds.
For example, Galactus created four minions to devour other planets, with Stardust being the strongest and Tyrant the weakest. The strongest, Stardust, possesses the power of tens of millions of suns exploding simultaneously and can create dimensional portals and black holes. His body is entirely composed of cosmic particles and energy, making him virtually indestructible; he can survive even when caught in planetary explosions or black holes. He can unleash devastating shockwaves from his eyes and hands, self-repair at will, travel faster than light, and survive indefinitely in space because he requires no food, air, or water. Stardust has no lifespan limit and is immune to all common diseases.
Even the weakest tyrant's messenger can destroy a planet similar in size to Earth.
For example, Omega-level mutants are defined by the minimum requirement of being able to manipulate matter by controlling atoms. This is the most basic ability, equivalent to the power of a creator in the Yangshen world. Other generally accepted abilities include immortality, manipulation of enormous energy (the ability to convert matter into energy almost infinitely), telepathy, superhuman willpower, or the potential to transcend the currently known physical world and its laws.
For example, the Celestials are a group of unknown, non-material energy consciousness life forms in the universe. They are one of the earliest life races to be born in the universe and their strength is terrifying.
And there's the Living Tribunal, the Phoenix Force...
High-end military force, terrifying beyond measure.
As for the Tesseract, it's not just about having near-infinite energy. It's the Space Stone, one of the six Infinity Stones in the Marvel Universe, also known as the Infinity Cube. It possesses spatial power, capable of opening portals and teleporting any object to any location.
In other words, this tiny crystal is equivalent to an alternative portal!
Such a priceless treasure naturally piqued Jiang Liu's interest...
