Chapter 40: Flick of the Finger, Creation and Destruction
re you, to dare command me”"The mountains and rivers of Zhuang State belong to all the people of Zhuang State, not yours alone!"Jiang Wang swayed in mid-air before abruptly charging forward: "No one's...All of Jiang Wang's memories of Deng Shu were connected to Zhao Rucheng.
This elder's presence wasn't very strong, but if you carefully sift through your memories, you can always catch glimpses of their figure.
The one who urges you to go home after drinking late every time.
The person who always silently pays the bill.
...always gazing at them with kindness...
At that time, he didn't even know Deng Shu's full name. He just called him that way with Ru Cheng. He was Ru Cheng's steward, and also a member of Ru Cheng's family.
Then he learned that Uncle Deng was actually a master. He was Deng Yue, known as "One-Fingered Severing the River," who had escaped the Qin State's Prison Corps with Ru Cheng.
At that time, such a strong person gave those young people patience, how precious.
Who could forget those days in Maplewood City
Ru Cheng said that Deng Shu later became a travelling merchant on the grasslands. He drove several horses every day, carrying goods and selling them all over the place, playing games in the world of mortals.
For someone who has lived a transient life, that would be the ideal way of life.
He wasn't trying to bother anyone.
I was just thinking about the day when we can all meet again. This time I came to the grassland, and RuCheng went to Erdmi to practice martial arts. He could only let go of his other abilities for now.
>Never thought I'd be seeing Uncle Deng again today, under these circumstances.
"Uncle Deng" walked out of the thick fog. His indifferent and merciless eyes met Jiang Wang's, and with a sudden gesture, he pointed at him.
Crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle!
The desolate space was pierced, giving off such a violent roar.
At first, it was just a wisp of finger wind, and in the end, it had crossed mountains and rivers.
It has an unstoppable momentum, which cannot be stopped by any force.
Life and death are a kind of breaking, a kind of piercing.
Zhao Ruocheng once demonstrated the Nine Tribulations Cave Immortal Finger on the Guanhe Terrace!
At that time, Zhao Ruocheng had only cultivated to the seventh tribulation, and he was already astonishing everyone. This peerless finger technique requires the eighth tribulation to be performed outside the building and the ninth tribulation to require a divine presence. The “Deng Yue” unleashed at this moment is the complete form of the nine tribulations' finger.
What is referred to as "one finger breaking the river" was, in those days, actually a clear stream that was broken.
Jiang Wang's eyes instantly turned crimson. After completing the outer chapter of Gan Yang's slumber and starting his cultivation of the Self-Seeing Immortal Canon, Gan Yang's red-eyed power grew stronger day by day.
Even in this oppressed and remote wasteland, there was a significant increase in insight. This person is not Deng Shu.

Although they look exactly the same, although their auras are identical, and although they both possess a layer of divine power, he couldn't recognize himself.
That gaze was too indifferent, with no spark in its depths.

But if it wasn't Uncle Deng, why would it be the Nine Tribulations Cave Immortal Finger
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Wang flipped his left hand over and pressed out a ball of ghostly light. It was already the Mountain and Sea Classic Divine Seal. The Absolutely True Law of Disaster was undoubtedly one of the strongest seal techniques in the world. When pushed to its limits, it would be enough to shake the ancient times. Jiang Wang's Calamity Seal and Bi Fang Seal, even missing the complete scriptures, and only possessing eight hundred and seventy-one existing seal techniques, were more than enough as regular powers at the Divine Presence level after he ascended and thoroughly understood their secrets. But facing Deng Yue's Nine Tribulations Cave Immortal Finger, only the regular power of the Divine Presence level was clearly insufficient. The ghostly light exploded instantly, scattering in the air.

That intangible yet substantial force, with an unstoppable momentum, surged forward directly towards Jiang Wang's heavenly spirit. However, it hovered before a single crimson flame, as red as a bean.
No, it is not suspended.
...but it is an end, a clash, an opposition.
The nine tribulations cave immortal's finger force was stopped by such a tiny flame, as small as a bean.
"Deng Yue" walked forward coldly, getting even closer.
The power raging within was like a furious sea.
Crackle!
The terrifying Dōxiǎn Jìn erupted suddenly. The force wasn't visible to the eye, but black fissures appeared in the surrounding space. Even the small flame was instantly suppressed.
But it rises again, its flames burning even brighter!
At first glance, it merely swayed once.
It burned so faintly, yet so grandly, brimming with life.
More than just fire and divine powers, burning is also the boundless spiritual energy of the sea.
The spirit world interferes with the mortal realm, establishing rules like those of a god here!
Like a bean's flame, it silently expanded, engulfing both "Deng Yue" and Jiang Wang himself. The sky resembled a vast canopy, the earth a thin mountain range, crimson clouds swirling into a sea of mist. Separating purity from impurity, giving birth to a vibrant world.
In this world, flames give birth to the will of freedom, and beautiful fireworks bloom one by one.
Please let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The ever-present "drought" of Bianhuang was also consumed by flames here.
Even under the oppression of the desolate frontier, this world retains a scale of ten zhang in radius. The flames here are intensely hot, burning with vibrant and lively life.
This is Jiang Wang's spiritual domain.
With the power of his formidable soul, he achieved a god-like presence on the battlefield against Xia, immediately constructing his spiritual domain. Through persistent cultivation, diligent study at the Jixia Academy, and a deeper understanding of the nature of the world, he integrated the art of fire into his spiritual domain, forming a truly divine and awe-inspiring realm, which can be called "Fire Domain." This is one of his strongest trump cards today.
The Nine Tribulations Cave Immortal Finger could easily pierce space and break through the containment limit of the Calamity Seal, but before Jiang Wang's spirit domain, it was difficult to advance an inch.
Because this domain has other rules, "Deng Yue" can no longer "cave" in.
The strongest aspect of the Nine Tribulations Cave Immortal Finger lies in using divine descent cultivation as "Cave" Immortality, which can even be considered a glimpse and touch upon the power of True Humans.If it were truly Deng Yue, he would naturally be able to quickly adjust and pierce through the fire domain rules again. That expert who severed the Wei River, wielding the pinnacle Nine Tribulations Cave Immortal Finger, wouldn't have launched such a futile attack, easily being dissipated if they aimed to shatter the fire domain in an instant.
Now this "Deng Yue" possesses the power of Deng Yue, yet it is insufficient to match that strength.
Jiang Wang, at this juncture, abruptly unveiled one of his strongest trump cards, summoning the fire realm to descend upon the world. Of course, it wasn't simply due to an opponent of this caliber, "Deng Yue". Even though the Nine Tribulations Cave Immortal Finger was powerful, it wasn't to the point where he felt the need to leave himself with no room for maneuver.
He cautiously kept his distance from "Deng Yue" within this fiery realm, but his peripheral vision was focused on the other side.
Tap, tap.
Another figure emerged from the thick fog.
This person had a sinister countenance. He wore a black robe that felt as hard as iron, with two black arrowheads dangling from the hem. As he walked, a pattern of a dark prison slowly appeared on the back of his robe.
Please note that I only translated the content within the > tags.
The Xuanwu prison robes, the Qin dynasty's Prison Warden!
And this person truly invoked the secret methods of the Zhenyu Prison, otherwise, the Xuanjue Robe wouldn't have appeared to protect Zhao Ruocheng from fleeing. Deng Yue, who protected Zhao Ruocheng, and the Grand Qin Zhenyu Prison Warden, who had been pursuing Zhao Ruocheng for many years, joined forces in this bizarre scene that actually happened in Bianhuang, where demons roamed freely, to encircle Jiang Wang, the Wu'an Hou of Daqi.
How is that possible
Unless this Deng Yue is not Deng Yue, and this Thai prison warden is not the Qin state warden,
Who are they
Where is the real Deng Yue
Where is the actual warden of the Qin State's Prison
Jiang Wang was full of doubts, but he didn't have much time to ponder them.
Because with the arrival of this nameless "warden," his attack also began simultaneously. As his image became concrete and entered Jiang Wang's field of vision, night descended.
The grayish sky was shrouded by the black night, and the thick fog surged in the darkness. It was already difficult to see your fingers, and the sound of wind and sand gradually subsided. The world divided into yin and yang, with a unity of qi containing both clarity and turbidity.
There is a kind of silence at night, which is not ostentatious but irresistible, causing all things in the world to rest.
Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
Including the fog here, the wind and sand here.
This power is spreading further into Jiang Wang's Fire Domain, and within the darkness, the panting of demonic beasts can be heard drawing nearer.
A fire pit ten paces in radius, became the only light on this night, like a single tent in the vast desert. With its stubborn candlelight, it called out to travelers returning home.
However, even in this fiery realm, there was no moment of peace. Deng Yue, who wielded the Nine Tribulations Cave Immortal Finger, clashed fiercely with Jiang Wang in the fire domain. The cloth robes and blue shirts danced together, while finger strength and sword energy soared through the air. In the vast wilderness, one could see nothing but endless expanse.
The darkness was deep, obscuring all things.
Two thousand six hundred miles from the brink of death, this place, which was otherwise unremarkable... within a radius of hundreds of miles, demons retreated, and demon hunters vanished. The thick fog concealed everything, destined to bury some stories.
Night fell like a giant lid, inverting the world.
The fire pit was like a small bowl, with crickets fighting inside.
In a broader perspective, perhaps the struggles of powerful beings are no more than ripples, like crickets fighting for their lives.
But the fighting of crickets, their courage and fierceness are not to be unseen.
At this very moment, as Jiang Wang engaged Deng Yue with his sword, he flipped his left hand over, fingers outstretched. With a flick, five orbs of light – gold, azure, black, red, and yellow – ignited and hung suspended at his fingertips. Meanwhile, in the palm of his hand, a single orb of white light leaped forth!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
That was a moment of confusion, like a crescent moon, and then suddenly it became a white fox.
Its fur was snow-white and beautiful, its eyes were bewitching like water.
It suddenly leaped into the sky, soaring beyond the flames and hovering above the heavens. It let out an endless roar towards the sky. The pure white moonlight poured down like a waterfall, illuminating the night for a moment. The Azure Dragon's Seven Transformations Heart, the Moon Fox!
The moon hung high in the sky, ruling over the night.
Outside the fire realm, snakes, worms, rats, and ants that had been gathering all emerged at once. The sinister jailer also reappeared in sight.
While sparring with "Deng Yue" , Jiang Wang's eyes scanned his surroundings.
Wherever the crimson gaze fell, the water-bucket thick black snake, the incredibly fast flying black insects, the stone-sized black rats, and the sharp-mouthed black ants... all were ignited by the crimson flames!
>
Like torches being lit in the depths of a long night.
The Samadhi True Fire ignited everything, including the nameless jailer. Flames roared, burning wildly on his Xuan Prison Arrow Robe. He remained immersed in the flames, his expression unchanged. He merely raised his hand, pointing it towards the heavens,
And there, in the midst of the flames, lay a hand as white as frost, with icy fingers like webbing between them.
And the beautiful fox in the sky, radiating boundless moonlight and dispelling the power of darkness, had its fur frosted over in an instant.
Those lively and enchanting eyes, were now frozen.
The heart-moon fox was frozen solid!
The fire on this Qin prison warden's body, even with its intense flames, could never burn through the Xuan Yu Chiao robe he wore. It couldn't truly touch his flesh. In fact...it was slowly starting to dim.
Is this man surnamed Gongyang Jiang Wang thought so in his heart, turned around with a sword strike, and had already cut Deng Yue open.
And then, people followed the sword and unleashed a frenzy of swordsmanship!
Regardless of whether this "Deng Yue" is real or not, before figuring out the truth, he didn't want to actually kill him, lest there be any regrets. That's why he entangled with him for so long within his own controlled spiritual domain.
Today, he has reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship, his skills so profound that all manner of human sword techniques have become as natural as breathing.
This sudden onslaught pressed forward, already slashing and hacking the "Deng Yue" who couldn't truly control his power into seven pieces. With a backhand, he unleashed Dragon-Tiger, drilling through the void with chains, suddenly creating a fiery domain to suppress him, imprisoning "Deng Yue" in place.
In that instant when the flames parted, Jiang Wang suddenly turned back.
>
Sword light soars high like the moon!
That heart of the sky-suspended Moon Fox, already shattered into ice particles and fallen, that moonlight that resisted the long night has been swept away. Yet when Jiang Wang's sword came... starlight blazed through the long night, starlight illuminating the desolate lands!
What endless night, what dreary sky.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
At this time, the starlight is brilliant like a waterfall. At this time, the swordsman who crosses the sky, resembles a god or fairy.

Although "the moon is high in the sky and frost has already formed," at this moment, “there are seven stars shining upon the Big Dipper!”
The path of a single sword, like winter's dominion over the world, sliced through the air.
The most unfortunate descendant of the Gongyang lineage, froze for a moment, and then shattered into countless flying ice particles.
For a brief moment, the darkness lifted, revealing stars dancing among falling frost flowers and burning embers that flickered like solitary lanterns guarding the passing night. Each ice crystal, catching the frost's glow, was so pure and pristine, as if it had never been touched by anything since the day he vanished from the world – how could this be possible
It was only then that Jiang Wang realized that this nameless jailer wasn't actually flesh and blood, nor did he possess a concrete soul.
But before his death, his clothing, skin, flesh, and strength... everything was no different from a real cultivator. He could even use the secret techniques of Qin's prison warden and the bloodline divine powers of the prestigious Gongyang clan of Qin. What was the reason for this
Magic Human
Especially now that it has been erased, there is no trace of a soul stone's aura remaining on his body.
Without a soul stone, it shouldn't be unaffected by the dryness of this world. It could only belong to a demon category. The jailer just now, was actually a demon using its powers to take form How is that even possible
Is Deng Yue the same
In midst of confusion and bewilderment.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!

With successive sounds of breaking air, Jiang Wang drew his sword and looked around.
The thick fog persisted, stretching endlessly into the depths, with no end in sight.

And piercing the dense fog to arrive here were another six divine-transcending cultivators!
There were both men and women, tall and short, fat and thin, all dressed differently and exuding different auras. The common point was that they were all cold, not speaking a word, and regarded Jiang Wang as an enemy, openly displaying murderous intent.
These people are like wolves surrounding prey, standing in different positions, each with their own methods ready to be deployed.
This is the danger that should be encountered after venturing two thousand six hundred miles into the border wilderness. This place is more than three hundred miles away from the forbidden zone of life, and it can be considered a true entry into the forbidden zone of life. It is possible to encounter demons passing through, but it should not be like this!
Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!
Zhongshan Yanwen's slain true demon, but after venturing deep into the Barbarian Wasteland for eight thousand li... Counting on his fingers, since Jiang Wang entered the Barbarian Wasteland, he had killed three demons of the Divine Presence level and encountered eight cultivators of the Divine Presence level. As for whether those who came later were humans or demons, in terms of strength, they were all undoubtedly combatants of the Divine Presence level.
That is to say, in just four days, Jiang Wang had already encountered eleven divine level combat strengths.
Excluding those two days that weren't deep enough, this frequency became even more terrifying.
This is completely abnormal for a demon hunter's difficulty, nor a normal demon encounter. If the monsters in the borderlands were all this strong, what would an ordinary hunting party do They wouldn't even be able to sweep through the borderlands! It would be like feeding the demons. Where there's something strange, there's a demon.
Please provide me with the content you would like translated. I'm ready to help!
Such a dense concentration of powerful monsters... could this be the arrival of a demon tide
>
With a thousand thoughts swirling in his mind, Jiang Wang could only clench the hilt of his sword.
No matter what, at this point in time when we are already surrounded, it is impossible to escape without paying any price.
Even if all these people were like "Deng Yue" and the jailer, possessing divine power but unable to fully utilize it, he could still put up a fight!
Sometimes one plus one doesn't necessarily equal two. A foolish opponent is often more helpful than a teammate.
In the midst of chaos, seeking opportunities, grasping victory from the cracks of life and death, Jiang Wang asks himself, he is no inferior to others!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
But one plump woman, the first to make a move, caused Jiang Wang's heart to sink.
That woman took a step through the air, landing precisely on the most uncomfortable point. She couldn't push forward or retreat. With a flick of her jade hand, she pulled "Deng Yue," who was trapped within the fire domain, to the front. Her position clearly showed her ability to seize opportunities. What's even stranger is this bizarre supernatural power. If all these newcomers were like this, I fear...
It won't be long before "I'm afraid" is no longer necessary. Because in an instant, the sudden offensive launched by these newcomers informed Jiang Wang—
Of course, everyone is like this.
The six new divine cultivators who arrived possess a far greater mastery over power than the eradicated warden could ever dream of. Even "Deng Yue" at this moment, wielding their nine tribulation Cave Immortal Finger, fully embodies the might of a Cave Immortal! It's as if before now they were merely going through the motions, but now they are truly fighting with all their strength.
Jiang Wang instantly went from being in control to being in imminent danger.
The attack was happening almost simultaneously.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Every divine being present at this moment wields their own unique techniques, special divine abilities, and a combat system built upon them. Understanding the intricacies of battle is paramount, and as they clash, their attacks and defenses intertwine seamlessly, almost perfectly harmonizing with each other.
One plus one doesn't necessarily equal two. The synergy they create together far surpasses the simple sum of their individual strengths!

The terrifying Taoist light and shadow exploded in an instant. They spread across the sky and earth, almost filling every inch of this world, leaving no room for anything else.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
All kinds of supernatural powers spread out, almost cutting off the possibility of life.
Jiang Wang also instantly manifested the celestial body of the Heavenly Treasury, illuminating the Divine Skill Sword Immortal!
Regardless of who he faces, his sword always sings in his hand. Anyone, any being, who seeks his life, must be prepared to die by his blade.
The beginning of the battle, or perhaps a sudden burst, yet the evolution of the battle is so natural.
Like a wisp of wind passing by, like a handful of sand falling.
Of course, the process of battle is more brilliant than anything that happens naturally, because everything that goes against nature is the light of life's indomitable spirit! For example, starting a battle with no hope of victory, for example, drawing a sword to face almost certain death,
The fiery domain unfolded, and the Immortal Swordsman evolved myriad laws.
For the current generation's pride of heaven, every day must surpass yesterday.
And the war between Qi and Xia had already lasted for a full six months.
At this moment, Jiang Wang's displayed combat power almost pierced through the gloom that covered the entire sky! In this vast and boundless borderland, there was also enough clamor. And a boot stepped out of the cracks in the haze.
This is an ordinary pair of sheepskin boots.
The owner of the boots was dressed only in ordinary peasant's clothing.
But he was enveloped in a divine glow, from head to toe. His every glance radiated boundless majesty. With a single step, it seemed as if he had crushed all discord in the world beneath his heel. His boot touched the ground completely, and his entire figure materialized before Jiang Wang's eyes.
But just now, the seven powerful and imposing Shenlin cultivators who had been frantically attacking Jiang Wang were all gone!
Like a bubble being popped.
Only dust rose high, then fell helplessly.
In just a few breaths, Jiang Wang had been inevitably wounded. While help was always welcome, the sudden deflation of his boiling fighting spirit left him with an almost suffocating frustration.
...especially this suddenly appearing grassland powerhouse, which made him very surprised.
“Master Tu!”

The person standing before Jiang Wang at this moment had eyes as dark as night and a handsome face. Though he was dressed plainly, far from the dazzling brilliance of their previous encounters, how could Jiang Wang not recognize him
It was precisely him, the abbot of Minguo Minhe Temple, Tu Yuan, whom I had met and personally received before.
How could he be here
“Are you the Marquis Wu'an of Daqi” said the man bathed in divine light.
This tone of unfamiliarity
Jiang Wang was a little puzzled, but still replied: "That's me."
And then asked, "How did you get here"
He actually wanted to ask if Tu Hu had come specifically to save him, or had always been secretly protecting him... But thinking about it, Minhe Temple didn't seem to have that obligation, nor any reason to do so.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Whether a person is from any country, participating in monster hunting is something they should do. The nation itself has many talented warriors who died on the border, and no powerful expert follows them around every day for protection.
"I've been here all along," Tu Hu said in a low voice; "You went too deep, please retreat back. What has happened in this area is no longer something you can participate in."
"The strength of the monsters appearing here doesn't match the intelligence I had. Do you know what's going on" Jiang Wang couldn't help but ask. "These cultivators... " Tu Li Jing said, "The changes happened just these past two days. You wouldn't have received any intelligence updates. He is targeting me, you just happened to be caught in the crossfire.""He" Jiang Wang asked, "Who is it that wants to deal with you here in Bian Huang"
Tu Chen did not answer the question directly, but instead said, "As for those cultivators you saw just now, they were all unregistered and snuck over from the borderlands. They died in the Wilds and were not under the protection of the Great Shepherd Kingdom's power, so they were captured by demons."
...died on the fringe of nowhere.

Die in the wilderness!
All Jiang Wang could think about were these four words: Uncle Deng is dead
"By the way," Tu Hu suddenly asked, "Have you seen a magic skill book along the way"
Jiang Wang subconsciously asked, "Which one"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Tù Hù cast him a deep look and said, "One of the Eight Great Demonic Arts, 《彈指生滅幻魔功》"
Jiang Wang shook his head: "Never seen it."
“Go back, it's almost dawn.”
Tu Hu finally said only this, then turned and walked into the mist.
