Fantasy: After transmigrating, I effortlessly became a god.

Chapter 315 Safety First

"Master, I'm about to unleash my strongest move."

Li Zun's words filled the Tianmai Sect disciples traveling with him with worry, not only about Li Zun, but also about Zheng Qian.

"Li Zun, sparring is supposed to end when you've touched a nerve, so let's call it quits."

"Yes, your strongest technique is too domineering; it's not good if it hurts anyone."

Everyone tried to dissuade Li Zun, but Zheng Qian was very confident: "It's alright, go ahead and make your move. Whether it's a friendly spar or training, you should go all out, otherwise it will be difficult to make progress."

Li Zun nodded. "Alright, since you said to go ahead and make your move, then I have no qualms about it."

The Nine Dragons Palm of Rebellion is Li Zun's strongest move, capable of controlling his power. There is another move, the strongest technique he has learned so far. However, this move is too powerful; using it not only causes him aftereffects but also makes it impossible to control the explosive energy of the attack.

The Dragon Breath Burning Heaven Fist will drain all of Li Zun's spiritual energy, blood energy, and power. Either the enemy will die, or he will collapse from exhaustion.

Zheng Qian's strength exceeded Li Zun's expectations. Driven by his pride, he decided to unleash the Dragon Breath Burning Heaven Fist. If Zheng Qian could withstand this attack, he would relinquish his title as the strongest Dragon Shaping Realm expert in the Southern Region.

Li Zun vanished from the spot, like a dragon king soaring through the sky, descending from the heavens with countless thunderbolts and the dragon race.

"Dragon Breath Burning Heaven Fist".

The world changed color, and nine phantom dragons intertwined and coiled in the air, their breath as fiery as flames, incinerating everything. This punch was no longer Li Zun's punch, but rather spiritual energy transformed into dragon breath, having embarked on the powerful path of manifesting form through physical means.

Zheng Qian raised his head and faced the scorching dragon breath. He could already feel the powerful force contained within it, an aura of invincibility and the ability to burn the heavens with a single punch.

With a step forward with his left foot, Zheng Qian retracted his right fist to his waist. Ignoring the raging dragon breath, his eyes were fixed only on Li Zun's dragon-transformed hand. Spiritual light flowed beneath his skin; this was the fusion of power of control. He had found his own combat system, and could now attack the raging dragon breath at will, accurately targeting Li Zun and striking him with pure physical strength.

"Surge Fist".

Zheng Qian exerted all his muscles, perfectly fusing his physical strength with the power of space, causing the space itself to resonate and form massive spatial waves. He swung his fist with the force of 120,000 jin, without any dissipation, accurately striking Li Zun's fist.

A burst of lightning erupted as the lightning spirit exploded from the impact of the two men's punches. As the two men clashed, the ground beneath Zheng Qian's feet sank, and Li Zun coughed up blood with a "poof," his body falling alone amidst the lightning like a kite with a broken string.

With a thud, a cloud of dust rose from the ground. Li Zun was so exhausted that he couldn't even move a finger.

The energy of heaven and earth calmed down, and Lei Ling disappeared without a trace. Everyone stared in disbelief at the two people on the battlefield.

Li Zun lay on the ground, his eyes wide open as he stared at Zheng Qian, his expression a mixture of disbelief, admiration, doubt, and a deep sense of defeat.

Zheng Qian had his left hand behind his back and his right hand hanging down naturally. Apart from the large crater that Li Zun had blasted into the ground, he looked exactly the same as before the battle.

"Li Zun, the number one in the Southern Region, was a level above Master Gao, yet he was still defeated by Master Gao with just one hand."

"Our master searched for a disciple for three hundred years, and the disciple he found was indeed a prodigy among prodigies."

If word got out that Zheng Qian had defeated the number one fighter in the Southern Region with a single hand, not only the Southern Region but the entire human race would be in an uproar.

After Li Zun consumed the pill, his spiritual energy slowly recovered, and he now held Zheng Qian in the highest esteem.

"Grandmaster, I, Li Zun, am convinced. The honor of being the strongest Dragon Transformation Realm expert in the Southern Region should belong to you."

Zheng Qian said with a serious expression, "Li Zun, what we pursue is the Great Way, not honor. If you are too attached to fame, you will inevitably go astray and be plagued by inner demons."

Zheng Qian took a step forward, intending to leave the Ancient Thunder Secret Realm and head to the Devouring Void Beast Nest Domain, while his voice, filled with the power of the Great Dao, echoed in the air.

"Never forget your original aspiration, and you will achieve your goal. Fellow disciples, fame and fortune are nothing but fleeting clouds. Only strength is the foundation of power. I hope you will pursue your true selves and embark on the path of Kuang Kang."

Li Zun and the disciples of the Heavenly Vein Sect bowed to Zheng Qian's retreating figure, saying, "Thank you, Master, for imparting your teachings!"

Li Zun stared blankly in the direction Zheng Qian had left. He couldn't understand, and couldn't believe, how Zheng Qian could be so strong.

It's unbelievable and incomprehensible.

Zheng Qian swiftly passed through the two domains, then coughed up a mouthful of blood; he had suffered severe internal injuries. Li Zun's strength exceeded his expectations; even the eight punches that killed the Void Devouring Beast phantom were not Li Zun's full power, as he had only displayed less than 30% of his strength at the time.

During their sparring earlier, Zheng Qian easily parried the Dragon Roar Heaven-Shaking Fist. Now, with the Heaven-Defying Nine Palms technique, Zheng Qian's blood was boiling. He believed this was Li Zun's strongest move, so he forced himself to fight without using spiritual energy, relying solely on pure brute force.

Unexpectedly, Li Zun had hidden a deadly move like the Dragon Breath Burning Heaven Fist. Zheng Qian didn't use spiritual energy at the beginning, so he wouldn't use physical strength for the last move either. Relying on his advantage of comprehending and controlling the power of spatial vibration, he used pure strength to unleash the Wave Surge Fist, ultimately blocking Li Zun's Dragon Breath Burning Heaven Fist.

The price he paid for taking the Dragon Breath Burning Heaven Fist was severe internal injuries. Out of pride, he endured it until now before finally spitting out blood.

He popped a pill into his mouth, and as the warm current spread throughout his body, Zheng Qian's internal injuries slowly healed. The pill that Yun Youzi gave him was almost enough to regenerate flesh from bones. As long as he had a breath left, he was not afraid of an accidental death. He once again experienced the benefits of having a master.

"Showing off will get you struck by lightning. I must never do anything like that again. Safety must come first, and I must be careful not to make a fool of myself."

Zheng Qian reflected on his experience: ever since becoming Yun Youzi's disciple, he had felt like he had found a powerful backer, and he had become a bit arrogant these days—a dangerous sign. Yun Youzi was powerful, that was an undeniable fact. But he couldn't possibly be with him every moment to protect him.

Mountains may crumble, people may run away. Only when you are strong yourself can you have a true support.

Zheng Qian kept giving himself pep talks: the world's system is flawed; as long as you're strong, you can do almost anything. The weak have to depend on the whims of the strong even to breathe.

To survive, and to live a carefree and joyful life, traveling the world with a group of girls—this is Zheng Qian's goal. And to achieve this goal, he needs immense strength.

Zheng Qian carefully remembered the thirty-two-character method of movement given by Yun Youzi. It was actually very simple: different domains required different directions. For example, upper left and lower left, upper right and lower right, and eastward and westward.

The route given by Yun Youzi has seven key domain fields. The first is the Thunder Heart Refining Domain when you enter, which is the domain field to determine whether the teleportation location has changed in the past fifty years.

The second is the Devouring Void Domain, the third is Li Zun and his group's destination, the Ancient Thunder Secret Realm. And the fourth is the Soul Devouring Valley right in front of Zheng Qian.

Soul Devouring Valley is the most sinister and terrifying place in the Twin Absolute Domains. Here, the resentment of the Void Devouring Beasts intertwines with the souls of countless trial participants, forming a powerful negative emotional field. Once you step inside, your mind will be corrupted by this power, and you will eventually become a wandering soul in the valley.

At this moment, a figure five meters tall was constantly moving within the Soul Devouring Valley.
