Zhuge Liang's Journey to Dominate the World: Starting from Another World

Chapter 280 Challenging the Nascent Soul Stage

Facing the menacing Ji Rong, Kongming remained calm, a hint of excitement igniting in his eyes as he prepared to use this opportunity to test his refined magical power.

Instead of retreating, Kongming advanced, his hands moving swiftly like phantoms, forming hand seals. In an instant, a rich, mellow, earthy-yellow light enveloped him completely.

At the same time, he made a rapid, sweeping motion with his other hand in front of him, and the Seven Stars Magic Power, which had been fused with the power of chaos, instantly condensed into a large cauldron, which pressed down on Ji Rong.

"Hmph! You're nothing but ants!"

When Ji Rong saw that Kongming still dared to take the initiative to attack, he couldn't help but laugh in anger.

He held a revered position in the cultivation world, and for countless years, no one dared to take the initiative to attack him, let alone a mere Golden Core cultivator.

He casually slapped out a palm, and the black spiritual energy in his palm surged like ink, instantly transforming into a huge palm print, which slammed down on the cauldron like Mount Tai.

go to hell!

The group of Ji family members below became excited when they saw their elders make a move, as if they could already see Kongming being smashed into dust by this palm strike.

boom……

The cauldron and the giant palm print collided with a deafening roar, and in an instant, it exploded in the center of the battlefield like a blazing sun, stinging everyone's eyes.

The cauldron trembled violently under the impact of Ji Rong's palm print.

Immediately afterwards, a tiny yet incredibly clear crack appeared and quickly spread out.

In the blink of an eye, more cracks intertwined, like a fine net covering the entire body of the cauldron.

Click...

After a few breaths, the cauldron finally succumbed to the pressure and turned into countless fragments of spiritual energy, dissipating into the world.

Kongming grunted and staggered back several steps.

He felt as if he had been struck by a heavy hammer in his chest, his blood surging, a sweet taste in his throat, and a mouthful of blood involuntarily spilled from the corner of his mouth.

what!

A hint of surprise flashed in Ji Rong's eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

He truly hadn't expected that his palm strike wouldn't kill this tiny ant, or even seriously injure it.

It should be understood that although it was just a casual strike, there is an insurmountable gap between the Golden Core stage and the Nascent Soul stage.

For a Nascent Soul cultivator to attack a junior is hardly a glorious thing, let alone failing to instantly kill him. If word gets out, what will become of his prestige?

Thinking of this, Ji Rong's eyes grew even colder...

"This...how is this possible!"

Below, the Ji family members could hardly believe their eyes when they saw Kongming standing there unharmed.

"Hahaha... I know now, Elder Ji must not want this kid to die too easily, so he did it on purpose!" A member of the Ji family said as if he had suddenly realized something.

“Yes, yes, yes…that must be it! I knew it! How could a Golden Core cultivator possibly escape Elder Ji’s clutches!” another member of the Ji family chimed in.

The other two families also had different expressions, but they almost all shared the same thought.

Kongming stopped in his tracks, raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and a meaningful expression flashed across his face.

He had just withstood Ji Rong's attack entirely with his own magic power. Although his blood and qi surged, he did not suffer any substantial damage. Even his defensive light barrier only dimmed slightly, not completely shattered.

Kongming was overjoyed. He realized that his refined magical power was far stronger than he had imagined, and it was actually able to contend with a true Nascent Soul cultivator.

Moreover, the opponent was a mid-stage Nascent Soul expert from an ancient family!

How could he not be excited!

"Haha, it seems you're nothing special after all!" Kongming laughed loudly, his eyes flashing with a fierce light.

"you wanna die!"

Ji Rong slowly uttered a few chilling words.

In front of so many people, to be so provoked by a mere Golden Core junior, Ji Rong felt a surge of heat rush to his head, and the killing intent in his heart surged like a tidal wave that could no longer be suppressed...
