This is ridiculous.
The bandit leader regretted it.
Although, from his current perspective and aura perception, the young man before him only had a cultivation of Qi Yuan three stages, far from his own Qi Yuan five stages.
Qi Yuan five stages against Qi Yuan three stages, the win rate was more than ninety-nine percent.
But he didn't feel he had any chance of winning.
Who knew how much strength this kind of person who liked to show off and slap faces was hiding.
He looked like an ordinary person before, but turned out to be Qi Yuan three stages.
Now he looked like Qi Yuan three stages, and when he truly fought him later, who knew what level of strength he would reach.
Of the thirty-six stratagems, fleeing was the best course of action.
The bandit leader prepared to escape… no, he had already started to flee.
He abandoned much of the goods on the carriage, did not avenge his bandit brothers, and simply ran away, fearing that Fang Ming would catch up to him.
However, Fang Ming, who possessed extraordinary power, would not let him go.
Fang Ming appeared in front of the bandit leader as if teleporting, and the Qi Yuan in his palm transformed into endless blood-red light.
The bandit leader instinctively swung his tempered long saber at Fang Ming, but it was shattered into pieces by the blood-red light.
Fang Ming enveloped the bandit leader with this blood-red Qi Yuan.
Then, this bandit leader, along with the second-in-command, the third-in-command, and a large number of bandits, died.
Or rather, perished.
With Fang Ming possessing extraordinary power, killing opponents of higher cultivation levels was a trivial matter.
The bandit leader had only lived for over forty years, with less than thirty years of combat experience. It was wishful thinking to suppress Fang Ming with his cultivation.
Fang Ming instantly killing him, who had higher cultivation, was the truly realistic outcome.
With the death of the bandit leader.
Another surge of energy, through the energy converter, entered Fang Ming's body.
The quality and quantity of Qi Yuan in Fang Ming's body further increased.
He entered Qi Yuan five stages.
Although at Qi Yuan five stages, the body was still mortal and its physical strength was not high.
However, it was already possible to maintain a protective aura while simultaneously emitting multiple streams of Qi Yuan.
With a protective aura, unless it was a siege by hundreds of mortals, or a situation of ten thousand arrows shot simultaneously, one basically didn't need to worry about mortals.
"I still need to quickly familiarize myself with the various properties of Qi Yuan!"
"Only by familiarizing myself with its properties can I grasp it more accurately and improve my combat power."
Fang Ming thought to himself.
Seemingly, Fang Ming's previous ability to kill a Qi Yuan five-stage opponent with almost one move at Qi Yuan three stages was already considered a challenge beyond his level.
But Fang Ming felt that this level of challenge beyond his level could not fully utilize the vast gap in combat experience between him and the bandit leader.
If it weren't for the inapplicability of cultivation experience, causing many of Fang Ming's methods to become useless.
The strength Fang Ming could currently display was far from sufficient.
If in the lower realm, Fang Ming had lost all his cultivation and only retained the strength of the Qi Refining stage.
Fang Ming could, with his trillions of years of cultivation experience, directly use his infinite knowledge to leverage a small source to move a large source, and with the body of a Qi Refiner, set up a spirit-attracting grand formation, attracting trillions of times more heaven and earth spiritual energy than himself to obey his command.
In that situation, although only having Qi Refining stage cultivation, cultivators of Golden Core stage, Nascent Soul stage, etc., would be unable to resist this infinite heaven and earth spiritual energy, and would only be instantly assimilated by Fang Ming into a part of the vast spiritual energy.
With the body of a Qi Refiner, it was entirely possible to exert the strength of a True Immortal or Golden Immortal realm.
Because with Fang Ming's understanding of the universe and worlds, he could make the world's origin and universal rules favor him, and then wield immense power that did not belong to him for his own use.
But these were situations that could only occur in the lower realm.
It was based on Fang Ming's familiarity with spirit-attracting formations, his familiarity with universal rules and world origins, and his familiarity with controlling trillions of times more power than himself without any loss of control.
Only then could he create the legendary feat of a Qi Refiner killing a Golden Immortal by challenging his level.
In this God Realm, all previous cultivation common sense was rendered useless.
Fang Ming did not understand spirit-attracting formations that complied with the God Realm, nor did he know the rules and world origins of the God Realm. Naturally, he did not feel he could, with his Qi Yuan five stages cultivation, control trillions of times more energy than himself.
He could do so in the lower realm because Fang Ming had reached a higher realm before, and had a thorough understanding of the power of lower realms, thus having the confidence to do so.
But in this God Realm… who knew what the nature of higher cultivation realms and powers would be, or how they operated.
Therefore, Fang Ming's ability to challenge opponents of higher cultivation levels was infinitely restricted.
All the extraordinary common sense he had learned was useless.
Fang Ming could only start anew to familiarize himself with the common sense of the extraordinary side of the God Realm.
And, in this process, he had to cautiously remember not to bring the extraordinary common sense he had perceived and comprehended in the lower realm here, because it might not be helpful, but rather hinder him.
"It's a new beginning."
Fang Ming sighed.
However, the cultivation of Qi Yuan five stages gave him some confidence.
The next step should be to clarify the organizational structure of the God Realm.
Regarding this, he could inquire from the people on the carriage.
Fang Ming's gaze turned towards that direction.
It was a carriage with extremely poor living conditions.
The planks were covered with various foul-smelling black stains due to long-term neglect, and flies and mosquitoes swarmed everywhere.
Inside the wire mesh were more than a dozen slaves.
These slaves all wore shackles and metal collars.
They were slaves captured by the bandit group.
The reason why these people were still on the carriage and did not escape, even after witnessing Fang Ming's battle with the bandits, and even causing most of the bandits to flee in disarray…
Fang Ming saw it clearly. It was naturally because they were all locked onto the carriage, and the wire mesh prevented them from escaping.
"The material of this collar…"
Fang Ming carefully observed the metal collars on all the slaves' necks. He reached out to touch them, and they felt cold.
Fang Ming's curiosity about the organizational structure of the God Realm grew even greater.
Because, judging by the feel of his hands, Fang Ming was almost certain that this so-called metal collar should be a product of technology.
It should contain an electric shock function.
This meant that the civilization of the God Realm was indeed capable of using electricity.
This at least indicated that the technological level of the God Realm should be comparable to Earth's 21st century, a civilization that could use electrical appliances.
It had surpassed the steam age.
But Fang Ming then looked at the clothes of these slaves.
Although most of the clothes were tattered, Fang Ming could tell their level of civilization from the remaining garments… these clothes were still at an ancient level.
So, was it a deformed world?
A combination of ancient and modern styles, where only some items reached a high-tech level, or only a few people could enjoy technological products?
And most people still lived in an environment similar to ancient Earth?
Speculation would not yield answers.
Fang Ming searched the carriage for someone who could provide him with answers.
