“Thud!”
At the edge of the stellar garbage heap, the middle-aged leader stood on a meteorite, then his legs went soft and he collapsed to the ground, a massive gaping wound appearing on his chest.
“Gah!”
He spat out a mouthful of blood, his bulging eyes flashing with disbelief.
Clearly, he had been struck by an attack.
From the single wound, it was apparent he had only been attacked once.
The middle-aged man’s strength was no less than any of the Five Stellar Overlords. He even wore armor of quality no inferior to the Battlefield Phantom’s, yet his chest had been blasted through—absolutely terrifying!
However.
The camera pulled infinitely far back.
The garbage zone that stretched like a long river revealed a massive blank area slanting toward the meteorite where the middle-aged man stood, without even a single grain of sand remaining, still containing energy aftershocks that hadn’t completely dissipated.
The feeling was like turbulent river waters being severed at the waist by some terrifying force!
At the other end of the blank area, the Tonggu Warship floated quietly in mid-air.
Standing on the deck, Shang Youhen was now completely stupefied, finally collapsing to sit down as tumultuous waves rose in his heart.
As the only witness, he swore that what he had just seen was absolutely unprecedented, absolutely unforgettable, because Big Brother Jun had stepped forward and thrown a punch the instant the black-armored warriors charged.
Very plain.
As if casually swung out!
However, this simple and unadorned punch contained terrifying power. Not only did it kill all the attacking thousand black-armored warriors, it directly destroyed the warship, and the leader was blasted away, presenting the scene now visible!
Shang Youhen was dumbfounded.
Based on the Tonggu Warship, he had guessed Big Brother Jun’s strength was formidable, but never imagined it would be this formidable—capable of instantly killing a lower-level Void Breaker with one punch!
“Mid-level!”
Shang Youhen thought in shock, “Big Brother Jun must be mid-level!”
The Star Meteorite Continent’s strongest realm was Martial Emperor, but it had no detailed sub-realm divisions because it was considered the highest.
In fact, within the mortal universe’s martial dao system, this realm was classified as Shattering the Void, abbreviated as Void Breakers, or Breaking Through the Void Realm, the Ascension Realm.
Shattering the Void had very clear sub-realm divisions, namely—lower-level, mid-level, and upper-level.
When the Night Emperor fell years ago, he was at lower-level Breaking Through the Void Realm.
Experts at this level already had excellent understanding of heaven and earth attributes and spatial force, completely able to roam freely through the universe without restriction.
Simply put.
They had already broken free from continental constraints.
As for ascending to the Upper Realm? That required comprehending cosmic force.
This power was higher than continental heaven and earth attributes and could only be grasped after reaching lower-level Breaking Through the Void Realm.
When an expert comprehended cosmic force, they stepped into mid-level Breaking Through the Void Realm, already possessing the qualification to ascend to the Upper Realm.
Of course.
Mid-level Breaking Through the Void Realm was also known as the Rushing to Death Realm.
Because upon reaching this level, many people chose to ascend, ultimately often ending in failure and death.
According to relevant department statistics, the success rate for mid-level Breaking Through the Void Realm ascending to the Upper Realm was less than five percent.
On average, only five out of a hundred people successfully ascended, yet this still couldn’t stop mortal beings’ urgent desire to grow stronger, so nearly every day experts died because of this.
There were many reasons for ascension failure—insufficient body tempering, weak souls—but the main one was incomplete comprehension of cosmic force.
Thus, upper-level Breaking Through the Void Realm was born.
Experts at this realm achieved massive improvements in all aspects, especially deeper understanding of cosmic force. According to the author’s statistics, the ascension success rate was around thirty percent.
The probability greatly increased, but those who could break through to upper-level Breaking Through the Void Realm were far fewer than those who succeeded at mid-level ascension.
If anyone could reach this level, they were absolutely a monster-level talent of the mortal universe.
Precisely because upper-level Breaking Through the Void Realm was too difficult to touch, many experts ultimately could only take desperate risks and forcibly ascend at mid-level due to lifespan and other constraints.
Failure meant death.
Success meant complete transformation!
Having covered the realm information, let’s return to the main topic with Shang Youhen.
At this moment, he firmly believed that Jun Changxiao’s ability to instantly kill that middle-aged man with one punch meant his strength had definitely reached mid-level Breaking Through the Void Realm.
The truth?
Gousheng hadn’t even touched the threshold of lower-level.
His ability to instantly kill a lower-level Breaking Through the Void expert relied entirely on One Punch Must Kill!
The middle-aged man was quite tragic.
From his appearance to his conversation with Shang Youhen, he never properly looked at Jun Changxiao, even treating him as air, directly charging One Punch Must Kill to full capacity.
His subsequent words were also extremely pretentious, with energy rising all the way to 100%.
Since that was the case.
Jun Changxiao naturally didn’t stint, locking onto the middle-aged man and blasting him from a distance.
This time he didn’t use his foot, because he already understood that even using his buttocks to attack would result in side effects.
“Whoosh!”
A breeze blew.
Standing proudly at the warship’s bow, Jun Changxiao’s full head of jet-black lustrous hair flew away, revealing a shiny bald head.
“Big… Big Brother Jun…” Shang Youhen stared wide-eyed, “You… you went bald…”
Jun Changxiao said nothing, silently taking out the Never-Wearing Black Robe and pulling it over his head, saying, “With my protection on this journey, you’ll be extremely safe.”
…
“Whoosh!”
The Tonggu Warship flew along the blank area created by One Punch Must Kill, smoothly escaping the stellar garbage heap.
“Thud!”
The middle-aged man kneeling on the meteorite fell over.
Though his bulging eyes had already lost their life force, his face still bore an expression of pain and disbelief.
With nearly two Handsomeness Force worth of power, he had just taken his lunch box so simply.
On the Tonggu Warship.
Jun Changxiao happily held the other party’s spatial ring, smiling, “This guy was quite wealthy.”
“Big Brother Jun…” Shang Youhen gradually calmed down, his gaze flashing with admiration, “So you’re mid-level Breaking Through the Void Realm!”
“Mid-level Breaking Through the Void Realm?”
Jun Changxiao asked, “What does that mean?”
Shang Youhen was stunned, “Big Brother Jun doesn’t know about Breaking Through the Void Realm?”
“Uh…”
Jun Changxiao spread his hands, “This one has managed a sect on a plane for many years and rarely goes out, so I’m not too familiar with many things.”
“I see.”
Shang Youhen understood, then explained Breaking Through the Void Realm to him.
“This complicated?” Learning that Shattering the Void was divided into lower, mid, and upper levels, Jun Changxiao felt somewhat speechless. According to his Martial Saint Great Perfection, he still needed to break through three realms to become the strongest existence in the mortal universe.
The System said, “As if the host could break through so easily.”
“Big Brother Jun.”
Shang Youhen asked weakly, “You also manage a sect?”
“Yes.”
Jun Changxiao affirmed.
“Is it strong?” Shang Youhen asked.
Jun Changxiao didn’t even think before answering, “The strongest sect on the plane where this one resides, bar none.”
In terms of overall strength this was indeed true, but coming from Gousheng’s mouth, it really made people want to spit in his face.
“Big Brother Jun, can I join your sect?” Shang Youhen asked.
One punch to instantly kill a lower-level Breaking Through the Void expert—absolutely a master among masters. If he could join under his tutelage, his future would definitely be bright!
Readers: “Author, come out and take a beating.”
“Of course you can join.”
Jun Changxiao said, “However, my Eternal Ancient Sect follows an elite route, focusing on aptitude and money. If you have neither, then I’m very sorry.”
“Big Brother Jun!”
Shang Youhen hurriedly said, “I have money!”
