Hyperdimensional Universe: I have Three Thousand Ultimate Talents

Chapter 35: The Third Talent

"Ding: It has been detected that the host has achieved the ability to solidify their cultivation level in a special environment, officially stepping into the Martial Arts Realm of the Third Layer of Gang Qi, temporarily solidifying the 'Reincarnation of Nirvana' talent."

"Ding: Host, please comprehend ten kinds of realms within the Martial Arts Realm of the Third Layer of Gang Qi; otherwise, the talent 'Nirvana Rebirth' will disappear."

Jiang Ming suddenly felt an immense life force surge into his body, filling every cell, especially a strange force imprinting onto his blood vessels and engraving into his soul.

But at this moment, he could not pay attention to the system's content.

Facing Xuanming Master's attack, Jiang Ming gave off a strange wave of power, like clouds, mists, or water, which seemed to make heavy rain fall centered around him.

This was the Rain Intent.

He had comprehended it.

He had also entered the Master-level Realm of this world, and the Dao resonance bathed his body, refining his Qi and even allowing his spirit to undergo a metamorphosis, uplifting and purifying his entire being.

His combat power skyrocketed in an instant.

Without taking the time to delve deeper into his comprehension, Jiang Ming stretched out his hand, forming a long sword with his Qi, and thrust it straight upward.

It seemed as if thousands of raindrops fell into the void, suddenly merging with the tip of the sword.

This was the Drop Rain One Sword, bolstered by the power of Rain Intent.

It made the power of this sword much more terrifying than before.

"Impossible!" Xuanming Master exclaimed.

In the snap of a finger, he could feel the earth-shaking changes within Jiang Ming's body and could also sense the heavy rain falling around him.

But there was no rain.

He understood that this was the illusion created by the comprehension of the Rain Intent, but the change in the opponent's body was too fast and too terrifying. The burst of strange power in that instant was much stronger than when he had broken through.

Xuanming Master found it incredible and inconceivable.

It was already defying common knowledge for a young person like Jiang Ming to fight him, but to break through during the battle?

That's bullshit!

"What kind of demon are you?" Xuanming Master hadn't even realized that his voice was trembling, and the power within him surged out madly, making this attack surpass its peak.

It all happened in a flash.

In a split second, Jiang Ming's sword pierced through the large handprint, and the sharp power on the sword's tip made Xuanming Master shiver. He quickly dodged the attack by turning away.

The long sword in Jiang Ming's hand shattered, dissipating into specks of Qi light in the air.

He clenched his palm and another long sword appeared, stabbing out again. This time, it gave off a feeling of torrential rain pouring down.

It was at its extreme speed.

Once again, it was the Drop Rain One Sword.

Whoosh...

Xuanming Master couldn't dodge in time, and his shoulder was pierced, retreating to a distance.

Jiang Ming didn't chase him but carefully pondered the changes in his own body.

Finally, he understood why comprehending realms made everyone so powerful. Comprehending a realm meant gaining the Dao Resonance power of Heaven and Earth, refining one's body, and ascending. Even the soul and will could undergo a certain degree of transformation.

When invoked, it was equivalent to being blessed with the power of Heaven and Earth, making the power increase many times over.

This was just a preliminary comprehension.

"This old bastard's understanding of the Ice Intent is not deep."

Looking at Xuanming Master, Jiang Ming gained some enlightenments.

Moreover, comprehending the realm allowed him to achieve one of the goals for coming to this world. Not only could he leave at any time, but he could also keep all the gains from this world except the physical objects.

With the pressure gone and a sudden sense of relief in his heart.

"Being able to retain my cultivation and the talent of the Third Layer of Martial Arts relies on the Main World as a support? That's interesting."

[Nirvana Rebirth]: Extremely powerful vitality, possessing a trace of the supreme life rule imprint, granting the host unparalleled recovery, limb regeneration, rebirth with a single drop of blood, and even immortality through Nirvana Rebirth. The talent's abilities strengthen as the host's power increases.

The talent Jiang Ming had acquired also made him extremely delighted.

Although it didn't seem to directly enhance his combat power, it greatly improved his survivability. At the very least, he wouldn't die easily.

As for the ten realms he needed to comprehend in order to solidify the talent, he didn't care much.

Compared to everything else, it was a relatively simple task.

The face of the Xuanming Master on the opposite side changed unpredictably.

The wound on his shoulder had stopped bleeding, and he looked at Jiang Ming not pursuing him. He hesitated in his heart: should he fight or flee?

If he didn't kill the enemy today, there was a high probability that he would be killed by Jiang Ming in the future.

This youngster was too much of a demon.

It made his heart tremble.

"Is he understanding the changes of true meaning?"

The Xuanming Master narrowed his eyes, clenched his teeth in his heart, tore open the wound on his shoulder, and blood immediately spurted out. He guided the blood before him, and waves of cold power poured into it, turning it into a blood-colored spear that was thrown at Jiang Ming.

This was the Forbidden Ice Blood Spear he had comprehended.

As the blood spear swept through, Heaven and Earth trembled.

It seemed that the energy of Heaven and Earth was even blessing it, making the spear tear apart the void and pierce through everything, annihilating everything. The Xuanming Master followed close behind.

Jiang Ming's blurry eyes focused, and his big hand grabbed the spear, turning Qi into a sword and stabbing it out. It was still Drop Rain One Sword, easily shattering the opponent's Ice Blood Spear.

"Impossible!" The approaching Xuanming Master's pupils shrank and he exclaimed in horror.

"Nothing is impossible!" Jiang Ming's long sword in his hand also shattered, but it reappeared again, using the Thirty-Six Sword Skills of Light Rain this time.

With the Rain Intent blessing him, the power of his sword technique rose by several levels.

"I don't believe it! I, the great Xuanming Master, can't even deal with a brat like you!" The Xuanming Master went mad.

His hands fluttered, and cold Qi surged, the fog blurring his surroundings.

However, he still couldn't break through Jiang Ming's Sword Array.

Thirty-Six Sword Skills of Light Rain, Sudden Rain Eighteen Swords, Storming Nine Swords, and Crazy Rain Three Swords were displayed one by one, grinding down his opponent.

His comprehension of the Rain Intent grew deeper and more profound.

Even with every sword he struck, its power would increase by a fraction.

"How can you be such a demon? Understanding true meaning in battle, your true meaning keeps getting stronger even during battle. Even Elder Zhang isn't this demonic. No, he's far from it." The Xuanming Master went mad, his hair disheveled, and his body covered in blood, "Are you a human or a demon?"

"I am an Immortal, a banished Immortal from Heaven!" Jiang Ming replied with a smile, feeling more and more relaxed, "Intent, or True Meaning, once you break through the threshold, it becomes extremely simple."

"Simple?" The Xuanming Master's voice rose by seventy-two degrees, "It took me more than twenty years to understand it when I reached the peak of Grandmaster level, and then I was thrown off a cliff, falling into the ice and snow, struggling to survive at the border between life and death before I barely understood it. And you're saying it's simple!"

"Of course simple!" Jiang Ming laughed, "Look, isn't this another kind of true meaning?"

His breath changed, and the surrounding Dao Resonance transformed, like a pouring rain environment, wisps of fog suddenly appeared, making his sword momentum unpredictable.

"This is the Fog Intent!"

The sword momentum turned again, and the cold air surged, turning the condensed fog into ice particles, which were no weaker than the cold air emitted by the Xuanming Master.

"This is Ice Essence!"

Jiang Ming's momentum kept changing.

Rain is the liquid state, fog is the gaseous state, and ice is the solid state; they are the three different states of water. For Jiang Ming, who had already entered the realm of comprehension, understanding and reasoning these were too easy.

But the Xuanming Master looked as if he had seen a ghost, his eyes bloodshot.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, that's true meaning! How did you comprehend three kinds in a moment? Jiang Ming, are you a human or a ghost?" The Xuanming Master even felt a spine-chilling sensation.

"That's nothing!" Jiang Ming was unhurried, and as he performed his sword techniques, he first activated the Ice Intent and spread cold air, condensing water vapor into fog.

With the blessing of the Fog Intent, a thick fog enveloped the surroundings in an instant.

The power of the realm was supposed to be intangible, but the Ice Intent was extremely special; its invisible influence materialized, forming fog.

The next moment, Jiang Ming activated the Rain Intent.

The fog condensed and formed raindrops that fell.

This was real rain.

Jiang Ming immersed his mind in Heaven and Earth, comprehending the beauty of Dao Resonance and the Dao of Nature. He also condensed Qi into weapons and started performing sword techniques that had already surpassed the category of Light Rain Swords. He could easily alternate between the three intents.

When the falling rain met the extreme cold intent, it turned into Ice Rain.

An unusual force field formed within this area, trapping the Xuanming Master tightly, making it difficult for him to break free.

Jiang Ming's sword technique continued to evolve and transform, and even the three Intents changed, merging with each other. Vaguely, they gained the momentum of a surging river.
