201: Final Expression of Love

After reviewing the Cultivation Technique, Liu Jiangyi unhesitatingly chose to activate the Initiation and Enhancement (Empowerment Boost) first.

“Boom!!!”

In an instant, Spiritual Qi, vast as the sea, descended from the sky, surging madly into Liu Jiangyi’s body.

His Meridians, Dantian, flesh, and bones were all tempered and sublimated at this moment!

“Awesome!”

Liu Jiangyi couldn’t help but let out a low roar; this feeling of rapidly increasing power was simply irresistible!

“Thump! Thump! Thump!”

Muffled thuds echoed within his body as his Realm began to climb frantically!

Great Martial God First Layer!

Great Martial God Second Layer!

...

Great Martial God Great Perfection!!!

In just a short while, Liu Jiangyi directly broke through a major Realm, his aura reaching a terrifying height, even subtly touching the threshold of the Acquired Realm!

“Great Martial God Peak!!!”

Liu Jiangyi clenched his fists, feeling the surging power within his body, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

With his current strength, combined with “Ten Directions Annihilation” and “Immortal Demonic Body,” he could easily kill anyone below the Acquired Realm!

Even against a powerful expert in the Acquired Realm, Liu Jiangyi was not without the power to fight!

And in the entire Eastern Continent of the Tianxuan Continent, the strongest, Chen Yuan, might only be in the Acquired Realm; everyone else was now mere ants before Liu Jiangyi!

“The day of sweeping across Hongyuan Planet… is not far off!”

Liu Jiangyi’s lips curved slightly, his heart filled with heroic ambition.

The shock of Liu Qing and the others!

When Liu Jiangyi collected his thoughts and looked up at Jian San and the others, he found them all petrified, staring at him dumbfounded.

“True… True God… You… You broke through?”

Jian San’s voice trembled, his face filled with disbelief.

“This Breakthrough… is it as simple as eating and drinking?!”

“Gulp!”

Several powerful experts collectively swallowed, cold sweat beading on their foreheads.

They were completely unable to gauge Liu Jiangyi’s current Realm, only feeling that Liu Jiangyi before them was like a towering mountain, unfathomably deep!

Gazing at Liu Jiangyi was like gazing into an abyss!

Powerful!

Mysterious!

Unfathomable!

Liu Jiangyi smiled indifferently, slowly rose, and stood with his hands behind his back, saying calmly:

“Give the order, tell all Martial Artists to prepare for battle and to fully construct large-scale teleportation arrays.”

“Ten days from now.”

“My City 39… will officially sweep across the world!”

Boom!!!

At these words, Jian San and the others were struck by lightning, their bodies trembling violently!

Sweeping across the world?!

This was no longer just about counterattacking Hongyuan Planet…

This was about… unifying both Realms!?

Thud!

Several powerful experts wept with excitement, kneeling on the ground, their voices trembling:

“The ancestors of Blue Star have spirits! Heaven has eyes!”

“My Blue Star… is finally going to rise!!!”

...

Liu Jiangyi stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze deep, looking into the distance.

Ten Directions Annihilation!

Immortal Demonic Body!

Great Martial God Peak cultivation!

With all these trump cards combined, he now had the capital to sweep across the world!

“Ten days from now…”

“The Eastern Continent of the Tianxuan Continent, it’s time for a new master!”

...

At the Peak of Spirit Mountain.

Ya Ya sat by the mountain, clutching a few crane feathers in her hand, staring blankly at the distant sky with a worried expression.

“Silly girl, if you keep pulling like that, all the crane’s feathers will be gone.”

Liu Jiangyi sat beside Ya Ya and handed her a rose.

Ya Ya dropped the feathers, took the flower, and tears welled up in her beautiful eyes as she looked at Liu Jiangyi.

Thump!

Liu Jiangyi’s heart skipped a beat.

“You… miss home?”

Ya Ya nodded heavily, “When will I finally prove myself to my father?”

“I already have the cultivation of a Great Martial God, almost on par with my father. I think I’ve done enough to prove myself to my father and my clan. Can I go home now?”

Liu Jiangyi was momentarily speechless.

Go home...

But she no longer had a home.

The counterattack on Hongyuan Planet was imminent, and the matter of the Beast King Clan’s destruction was bound to be revealed.

Liu Jiangyi couldn’t imagine how cruel it would be if Ya Ya knew the truth.

What extreme actions would she take?

Thinking of Ya Ya’s heartbroken appearance at that time, Liu Jiangyi felt his heart ache as if being cut by a knife.

Could he… really have fallen for this girl?

Liu Jiangyi took a deep breath, reached out and took Ya Ya’s hand. After a long silence, he finally mustered the courage to ask, “Do you like me?”

Thump!

Ya Ya’s body trembled, and then a blush spread across her pretty face as she quickly lowered her head.

She instinctively wanted to pull her hand away from Liu Jiangyi’s, but after a moment’s hesitation, she ultimately didn’t.

“I… I’ve already kissed you, what do you think…”

Ya Ya’s voice was barely a whisper.

“But you… don’t like me, do you?”

Tears welled up in Ya Ya’s eyes.

“Why do you say that?” Liu Jiangyi asked in surprise.

“After I kissed you that day, you never brought it up again. You definitely don’t like me.”

Ya Ya’s tone was dejected.

Liu Jiangyi smiled wryly, “It’s not that I don’t like you, it’s just… I lacked some courage.”

“You like me too?” Ya Ya suddenly looked up, her eyes full of joy.

Liu Jiangyi didn’t reply. He pulled Ya Ya into his arms and gently kissed her.

An electric sensation coursed through both their bodies.

They had been through thick and thin together, and unknowingly, they had become inseparable.

Perhaps because of their identities, or their races, this feeling had always been buried deep in their hearts, unwilling to be mentioned.

If not for Ya Ya’s initiative, perhaps Liu Jiangyi would never have been able to say those words to Ya Ya in this lifetime...

...

In a flash, ten days passed.

On this day, a killing aura permeated City 39; even the air seemed to condense with the scent of iron and blood.

Liu Jiangyi had been spending this time intimately with Ya Ya, and although they hadn’t crossed the line, they were no different from a couple in passionate love.

But today, Liu Jiangyi uncharacteristically wasn’t with Ya Ya. Instead, he had woken up early and changed into a solemn black True God robe.

Even on the day of the Sermon Ceremony, he had not been so serious.

Inside the main hall, there was a profound silence.

Only Ya Ya stood in the hall, her slender hands tightly clutching Liu Jiangyi’s sleeve, tears glistening in her eyes.

“Jiang Ge… are you really going to do this?”

Her voice trembled, filled with deep reluctance and worry.

Liu Jiangyi’s expression was calm, his gaze as deep as an abyss, and he said lightly:

“A true man stands between heaven and earth; some things… must be done.”

Ya Ya suddenly stood up and embraced Liu Jiangyi, her tears soaking his robe.

Liu Jiangyi reached out and gently stroked her forehead, his fingertips tender, yet carrying an undeniable firmness.

“Wait for me obediently at home.”

“I want to go with you!” Ya Ya looked up, her eyes misty with tears, at Liu Jiangyi.

Liu Jiangyi frowned and said, “Didn’t we agree? I’ll go to the Tianxuan Continent first, and you’ll watch over the home for me.”

“If they use the teleportation array to sneak attack our home, I won’t feel at ease without a powerful expert guarding it.”
