Eternal Life: My Lifespan Increases Daily

Chapter 729: Chapter 472: Great King-Level Combat Strength, Yun Province’s Demon Extermination! (Double Release)

”It’s only been a year, Changming, your transformation is truly too drastic...” Li Xuan couldn’t help but say to Song Changming again.

Hong Zhen only exhibited the typical power level of someone who had just broken through to the Martial Arts Grandmaster level. In contrast, Song Changming only broke through to the Grandmaster Realm six months earlier than Hong Zhen.

Yet the power he displayed far surpassed that of Hong Zhen.

Even Li Xuan himself had to reassess the power gap between himself and Song Changming after this encounter with the Cold Evil Wind.

It sounded absurd, yet he couldn’t deceive himself. Song Changming might already be close to, if not possessing, the powerful strength comparable to that of Yun Province’s thirty-six Great Kings!

It had only been a year since they last met at the Imperial Banquet, and Song Changming had grown to such an extent, truly astonishing.

”Indeed, a blessing for our Human Race...” Thinking of this, Li Xuan couldn’t help but marvel at the significance of Song Changming for the entire Human Race!

In his view, a martial genius like Song Changming is not something one encounters once in a century, perhaps not even in five hundred years among the Human Race!

In another fifty years, maybe even a hundred years later, Song Changming might become yet another Stabilizing Needle-level powerful existence for the Human Race.

From the entire Human Race’s perspective, this would be a great fortune indeed!

”To be honest, if Changming hadn’t broken through to the Grandmaster Realm in time to come to my aid, I might not be standing here talking with Brother Li today.” Prince Cui, hearing Li Xuan’s praise, couldn’t help but agree.

He had previously discussed the downfall of the Su Family with Li Xuan, but did not elaborate on the details.

Before, Li Xuan couldn’t have guessed that Song Changming could play such a crucial role in the conflict between the imperial authority and the Changsheng Clan.

Listening to these two Great Kings complimenting him back and forth, Song Changming also modestly responded, while in his heart pondering whether his current skills could truly match those of these Great Kings of Yun Province.

An annual reward significantly boosted his strength, from mastery-level martial arts, enhanced Grandmaster cultivation, to obtaining the Orange Level innate Celestial Essence Body.

Now, even he wasn’t sure just how strong he truly was.

He discreetly glanced at Li Xuan, then his gaze fell upon Prince Cui flying ahead.

He wondered if he had the power to challenge Prince Cui...

Having some free time, he simply treated Prince Cui as an imagined enemy in his mind for strategic battle simulations.

He possessed the trait of a ’Taoist Dreamer,’ skilled in strategic planning; he had also witnessed Prince Cui in action more than once, especially the time Prince Cui fought fiercely with the Su Family ancestor, which left a deep impression on him.

Song Changming simply replaced the Su Family ancestor with himself in his mind, gathered his heart and spirit, and repeatedly simulated the battle.

Prince Cui seemed to sense something, turned to glance at Song Changming, but said nothing.

From dusk till dawn, Song Changming finally let out a breath, ending this mental brainstorming during their journey.

The final simulation result ended in his defeat.

But during the process, he wasn’t without the power to contest!

”Compared to Prince Cui with his Late Realm Grandmaster Cultivation, the power gap between us doesn’t seem that large...” Song Changming thought to himself.

Yet he also understood that this was ultimately just a fictitious simulation; the truth of real combat has many uncertain factors and would only become clear in an actual fight.

After the Cold Evil Wind passed, their group experienced no further incidents in Feng Province.

A few days later, they flew out of Feng Province, passing through parts of Miao Province.

Although they couldn’t see the full picture, the environmental terrain of even these fringe areas differed greatly from Feng Province, and even Yun Province.

Miao Province had many water towns and maritime areas.

Song Changming looked down, wherever his eyes rested were lakes, rivers, and vast oceanic expanses that seemed endless.

Shui City, islands, were the main habitats for humans here.

Additionally, Miao Province had frequent rain, over half the year was spent in rainfall.

Miao Province was renowned for its frequent rains, with clear, sunny days being a rarity on this continent.

Although Song Changming had never been to Miao Province before, he had heard many rumors about it.

However, on this trip, they did not enter Miao Province and soon passed through, reaching their destination.

Gazing upon the vast expanse of forests, ancient giant trees with roots intertwined like majestic giants as guardians, a primordial aura permeated this land.

Yuan Province, abundant with forests, giant trees, and flower seas, is a province full of vitality, and now also the favorite stronghold of the Demon Race.

Years ago, Su Qingqing traveled across the great distance to Yuan Province in search of her mother, a journey that took more than half a year.

Yet Song Changming and his group of four reached it in less than ten days, a pace possible only by Grandmaster powerhouses.

Pure innate qi aura could not compare to the evolved Master’s power.

Song Changming gazed at the dense forest stretching to the horizon, sensing a faint presence of demon qi lingering in the atmosphere above.

”Now that we have arrived in Yuan Province, we can no longer traverse like before.” Prince Cui stopped and spoke first.

After all, this was no longer Human Race territory; a blatant intrusion would only alert and draw in the numberless Great Demons of Yuan Province, not only thwarting their mission but also leading them into peril.

After all, many Martial Tao Grandmasters had fallen in the domain of the Demon Race in the past.

While they were unafraid of ordinary Great Demons, contending with an endless stream of them could still overwhelm them, not to mention there were undoubtedly powerful beings in Yuan Province that were beyond their capabilities to confront.
