Chapter 97: Power Accumulation Method
In the distance, Wu Ming was surprised: “I thought they would abandon the planet and flee, but instead, they are shifting the battlefield. It seems that honored guest truly values his homeland.”
Jin Chu’s voice was heavy: “Speed up. We must not let anything happen to honored guest.”
Lao Bone slammed down heavily on the mountain range. The massive peaks collapsed under the impact, cracks spreading through the earth, and lava burst forth.
One by one, the Gong Nation soldiers surged forward, charging toward the distant ship.
Inside the ship, Wang Jie removed his outer garments, revealing his well-built muscles. “Senior Xuan, this battle, I leave it to you,” he said.
Xuan took a drag from his cigarette. “Feels good.”
Wang Jie smiled faintly, walking out of the ship. He raised his sword, pointing toward Lao Bone in the distance. There, Kui Rock stood quietly, a sinister grin on his face as he licked his lips.
He charged.
His figure flashed as he swept past, slicing through Gong Nation soldiers one by one. Wang Jie made a straight dash toward Lao Bone. Ahead of him, a Gong Nation soldier in the Star Breaking Realm growled and flattened his palm, thrusting it forward. His bones pierced through his own arm, and the flesh behind it swelled, yet it contained immense destructive power—this was the Star Breaking Combat Technique.
Wang Jie locked his gaze on the Gong Nation soldier and extended a finger, using the Heaven and Earth Luo Xuan Finger.
The power exploded.
The collision of forces pierced through the soldier’s arm, smashing through his head. His body continued its forward momentum, crashing several meters ahead before falling to the ground.
Kui Rock’s gaze sharpened. “Such strength with ten seals? A natural-born warrior.”
From the side, another Gong Nation soldier charged forward. This time, he was at the Full Star Realm. Leaping high, he smashed down with a punch.
Wang Jie didn’t move. Xuan crossed the air and struck the Full Star Realm Gong Nation soldier with a palm.
The Gong Nation soldier turned and punched at Xuan.
The collision of fists and palms released a wave of force, sending shockwaves through the land, collapsing mountains once again. Lava surged and erupted into the sky like fiery fireworks.
Amid the fire and sparks of molten rock, Wang Jie charged at Kui Rock, his sword slashing down.
Kui Rock sneered. “Looking for death. Ten seals can kill Star Breaking Realm, but they cannot deal with Full Star Realm. And I am no ordinary Full Star Realm.”
With a mighty turn of his blade, Kui Rock swung a massive slash.
Bang!
The sword clashed with the blade, and Kui Rock spun the blade to catch the sword’s edge, throwing Wang Jie back with tremendous force. He nearly lost his grip on his sword.
Such great strength.
Wang Jie stepped into the Armor Eight Steps, twisting in mid-air and countering with his sword, locking Kui Rock’s blade. Kui Rock was startled—he couldn’t find Wang Jie’s figure, only to find his own blade being moved. “Does this human possess such power?”
A low growl escaped Kui Rock as he forced his body to twist. The ground beneath him shattered completely.
Wang Jie unleashed the Star Gazing Sword Style, and countless sword beams rained down.
Another massive explosion rang out, the sword shattered, and Kui Rock’s blade cracked under the pressure of the sword light.
Kui Rock bent his body almost to the point of folding in half, forcing his giant blade to bend and snap. He used the handle to strike at Wang Jie. This reckless style of combat was something Wang Jie had never encountered before. With no choice, he raised his left arm to block.
The blade struck his arm with a brutal impact, forcing him backward.
Swords and broken blades clattered to the ground with soft sounds.
Kui Rock gripped the blade handle, surprised, staring ahead. The human had not been injured.
Wang Jie glanced at his wristguard. His arm was numb from the blow.
The Full Star Realm is something else.
Its strength exceeds mine.
I can’t unleash my full potential.
In the distance, Xuan was engaged in a fierce battle with another Full Star Realm Gong Nation soldier. Both were injured, fighting to the death, while other Gong Nation soldiers rushed toward that direction.
No one could disturb Xuan.
Wang Jie rushed toward the approaching Gong Nation soldiers. Kui Rock’s cold eyes followed, and he pursued.
Wang Jie’s finger shot out, and the Spiral Qi Force cut through the air, piercing through the Gong Nation soldiers one by one.
Wang Jie was too fast, and his attacks too powerful. Kui Rock couldn’t keep up. Grinding his teeth, it turned and headed toward Xuan’s battlefield.
Seeing Kui Rock about to strike at Xuan, Wang Jie had no choice but to abandon his pursuit of the Gong Nation soldiers. He pointed a finger forward.
The Heaven and Earth Luo Xuan Finger stretched across the air, two fingers striking from above and below in a dramatic display of force aimed at Kui Rock.
Kui Rock raised his head in confusion. “What is that?”
It punched out, smashing the two fingers, then turned, just as Wang Jie closed the distance. Energy and force collided as Wang Jie spun, delivering a powerful kick.
Kui Rock raised its hand to grab but underestimated Wang Jie.
Wang Jie’s kick sent Kui Rock flying, crushing its chest inward. It landed heavily in the mountains.
Wang Jie pursued, and Kui Rock slammed the mountain range behind it, glaring as Wang Jie relentlessly followed. Kui Rock roared, fists clashing in the air. Star Force surged into its body, and one punch hit.
Boom!
Wang Jie was sent flying by the overwhelming force. The burst of star force made it impossible for him to resist. Kui Rock pursued, delivering a downward punch.
If energy and force can’t stop it, then… energy and energy together.
The two forces merged.
Transparent flames enveloped his body as Wang Jie grabbed the punch Kui Rock threw and spun, kicking it in the face. The kick sent Kui Rock’s head to the side, flipping it and throwing it out. Kui Rock was sent crashing into the group of Gong Nation soldiers.
The Gong Nation soldiers were crushed under the impact. Finally, a Star Breaking Realm Gong Nation soldier held the line.
Kui Rock was stunned. “How can Ten Seals have such terrifying combat power? Impossible, absolutely impossible.”
The Gong Nation soldiers had dominated battlefields for years but had never encountered such a foe.
Not only it, but Jin Chu and Wu Ming were also shocked.
They had expected Wang Jie to be strong, perhaps able to fight against Star Breaking Realm or even Full Star Realm, but they never imagined that he could go toe to toe with Kui Rock, a formidable figure even recorded by the Frost Radiance Sect, and even suppress Kui Rock.
This was too unreasonable.
But Wang Jie had a trick up his sleeve. The Full Star Realm has a huge advantage over the Star Breaking Realm and lower-level cultivators: control over star force.
What is Full Star Realm? It is a cultivator capable of absorbing the star force of an entire planet—that is Full Star Realm. Meanwhile, the Star Breaking Realm cannot do this. This is the most direct comparison of star force control.
A Full Star Realm cultivator can strip and absorb the star force from lower-level cultivators, forming an absolute counter to star force.
But Wang Jie doesn’t cultivate star force, which renders Kui Rock’s advantage ineffective. It’s a straight fight. If Wang Jie cultivated star force, this battle wouldn’t have turned out this way.
In the distance, Xuan’s battle was intense. He was risking his life to prevent the Full Star Realm Gong Nation soldier from interfering with Wang Jie’s fight.
Wang Jie was panting heavily. Merging energy and energy could greatly increase his strength, but it also consumed it quickly. Not only his energy, but his physical strength was draining fast. He needed to finish this battle quickly.
Kui Rock was thinking the same thing. A dignified Full Star Realm powerhouse, ruling the battlefield, was being suppressed by a mere Ten Seals human. It simply could not accept it.
Slowly, Kui Rock bent down, adopting a hunter’s posture. Its star force, which had previously erupted, began to gather and condense, focusing on its bones and joints. The power came from both itself and the star force. Most of it was from the star force.
What is it doing?
Wang Jie observed carefully and saw Kui Rock’s muscles darken and contract, its entire body shrinking. A sense of unease filled Wang Jie. He could no longer wait—Armor Eight Steps.
He flashed past and appeared behind Kui Rock. With the fusion of energy, his power surged, and he punched Kui Rock in the back.
Kui Rock didn’t react in time—it couldn’t see through the Armor Eight Steps. But this punch felt like hitting a stone. It only knocked Kui Rock back a few meters.
Kui Rock flipped and swiped its arm, sending a powerful palm toward Wang Jie. Wang Jie raised his arm to block and was sent flying with tremendous force.
Its strength had grown even more.
Its reaction speed was faster, so fast that Wang Jie didn’t even have time to step into Armor Eight Steps.
Wang Jie landed and looked up to see Kui Rock’s body leaning back, its dark red muscles tight, like a bowstring drawn taut, the air around it warping as it prepared to strike.
The ground shattered, rocks flew everywhere.
Lava spread across the cracks, bringing intense heat.
A fierce wind swept from the distance, uprooting trees. Wang Jie raised his hand, pulling a branch from a tree, using it like a sword. Star Gazing Sword Style.
The branch flicked through the air, sending sword qi that accompanied falling stars toward Kui Rock.
Kui Rock leaned back further, and with a sudden explosive sound, it disappeared, charging toward Wang Jie with unparalleled speed.
Wang Jie’s pupils contracted, and as Kui Rock collided with the branch, he was forced to step back using Armor Eight Steps. Just as the branch shattered, Kui Rock’s dark red arm brushed past him, cutting deep into his neck, leaving a bleeding wound.
Wang Jie immediately stepped again, disappearing once more.
Kui Rock didn’t know where Wang Jie was, but its attacks were now aimed at everything around it.
Its dark red body left behind afterimages as it flashed between them. Wang Jie was struck in the right shoulder, sending his body flying. Kui Rock gave chase.
Wang Jie raised his head, staring at Kui Rock’s falling fist. Clenching his fist, he used his finger as a sword. Star Gazing Sword Style. Waves of sword qi targeted Kui Rock’s joints, but he was hit squarely in the chest, with his wristguard taking the brunt of the blow.
Boom!
He was sent flying, spitting out blood, half of his body numbed.
The sword qi hit Kui Rock’s body but couldn’t break its physical defense. However, its star force at the joints was shattered, slowing down its charging state significantly.
Kui Rock was stunned. It didn’t expect Wang Jie to precisely target its joints. This person understood the Gong Nation’s Power Accumulation Method.
It took a step forward and chased after Wang Jie.
Wang Jie locked his gaze on Kui Rock, and within his body, the Lock Force began to condense at his joints. Instantly, he felt a deeper control over his body. Using the Lock Force to control his joints, he turned and dodged as Kui Rock rushed past him, missing its strike.
Impossible.
Kui Rock turned to chase, but Wang Jie continued to use the Lock Force to control his body. As long as he kept up with Kui Rock’s movements, he could dodge it. His actions were completely different from before, like a puppet being controlled.
Kui Rock realized what was happening. “Power Accumulation Method? How is that possible?”
“No way.” Wu Ming was shocked.
