Traveling across the globe for the first time

This series of movements was so fluid and smooth, it was clearly premeditated.

First, he used the decapitation sword technique to force the Overlord to use his left arm to block, and then he suddenly launched an attack when the Overlord finished his attack and was habitually charging up his strength.

He used the Nine Yin White Bone Claw to break through the qi and blood defenses on the arm, then used the Tendon-Separating and Bone-Dislocating Technique to dislocate it, and finally tore the arm off.

"Roar!"

The Overlord Emperor reacted quickly, roaring and unleashing a burst of blood and energy with a kick. This was both a way to retaliate in kind and to avoid the ensuing barrage of attacks.

Zhang Haoran had achieved his goal and took the opportunity to retreat and create distance.

The Overlord Emperor did not continue his attack, but began to recover from the loss of his severed arm and adjust his condition.

A golden light flashed at the wound, and a new arm quickly grew out.

A flash of white light appeared on the severed arm in Zhang Haoran's hand, and the artifact gauntlet disappeared, appearing on the newly grown arm.

The Overlord Emperor was not upset about losing his left arm. Instead, he said with great satisfaction, "Kid, not bad! A very impressive joint technique, and the timing was also very accurate."

"Heh! Just lucky."

He waved his severed arm and said with a smile, "I was studying your combat techniques before and didn't notice that you would take the opportunity to build up your strength with each collision."

No wonder you can change your tactics at will; so that's the key.

Although changing tactics doesn't require a long charging time like ultimate moves, it still requires a short charging process to change the way qi and blood circulate in the body.

The Overlord Emperor relied on these brief periods of energy accumulation and the alternating use of various battle tactics to gain a slight advantage when their health and manpower were roughly equal.

However, this time Zhang Haoran seized the opportunity and caught him off guard, resulting in the loss of his forearm.

The Overlord Emperor nodded in satisfaction and said, "It's good that you noticed I was gathering my strength."

During battle, you must observe carefully. Once the battle begins, no matter who the opponent is, you must go all out and seize every opportunity you can.

Another thing you need to be careful about is not letting the enemy get a feel for your attack rhythm, otherwise you'll end up like I just did, suffering a loss without realizing it.

Another crucial point is that after unleashing a killing move, you must quickly gather your vital energy to prepare for any eventuality. If a mistake is made, you must have the ability to recover from the disadvantage and not allow your opponent to take advantage of the situation to suppress you.

If the enemy falls into a disadvantageous position, you can use this remaining health to relentlessly pursue and attack.

These are all lessons learned from experience, and they were also the methods used by the Overlord Emperor in the battle just now. He quickly gathered a portion of his qi and blood in his body, which enabled him to launch a rapid counterattack and turn the tide despite losing an arm.

Zhang Haoran's ability to make the Overlord Emperor suffer a loss has earned his approval, which is why he is willing to say so much.

"Kid, I can tell you've killed quite a few people."

However, you haven't fought many fierce battles against powerful enemies, and that's your problem—you don't understand the true meaning of fighting to the death.

When you're truly fighting a formidable enemy, don't think about slowly observing and figuring out your opponent's tactics before figuring out how to strike. That approach only works against enemies who don't pose a fatal threat to you.

When you encounter a truly threatening opponent, you must use every means at your disposal. Once you discover the enemy's weakness, you must unleash all your trump cards and killing moves without regard to the cost. If the enemy doesn't die, you will.

Don't think there will be a second chance.

You should have just taken that kick and kept attacking; even one more strike would have been good.

After giving some instructions, the Overlord Emperor shook his head and said, "Alas, it's a pity that it's not the time of the great war anymore, and there aren't many enemies for you to practice against."

Prodigies like you improve their strength very quickly. The enemies you encounter are either easily defeated or so powerful that you cannot resist them.

Opportunities to fight to the death with the enemy are few and far between.

Today, let me teach you a lesson.

Come on! Let's continue.

Zhang Haoran immediately said respectfully, "Please enlighten me, senior."

He had indeed killed many enemies in the underground caves and on the human battlefield, but he had not really encountered many equally matched opponents. If it weren't for his experience fighting Su Xiao and Chu Mu, his performance would have been even worse.

Now that the Overlord Emperor is carefully guiding us, we must seize this opportunity.

"Enough with the nonsense! Kid, take this..."

The Overlord Emperor roared and charged forward like a savage beast, his ferocious aura suffocating everyone.

He raised his hand and threw a punch, which burst out with dazzling golden light; it was clearly a killing move.

Just as the Overlord Emperor said before, we must seize every opportunity. While teaching, he also did not forget to gather his killing moves. This is teaching by example.

This punch was incredibly violent, a full-force strike from a king.

Zhang Haoran naturally had to be careful. He waved his hand and retracted half of his arm, where a piece of the Overlord Emperor's essence was located.

As long as this essence exists, no matter what happens in the future, it can be resurrected.

However, just as he put his severed arm into his storage space, preparing to face the killing move, he suddenly sensed a chilling killing intent. This killing intent flashed by, extremely subtle, yet it penetrated deep into his soul, causing his body to stiffen and his pupils to shrink to a single point.

This sense of crisis only arises when faced with a mortal threat.

To be honest, he had never sensed such a strong crisis before.

Even when fighting against the Human Emperor and incurring the hatred of the God Emperor and others, I did not feel this intense sense of crisis.

"What's going on? Who wants to kill me?"

He first looked at the powerful Tyrant Emperor who was charging towards him. The golden fist was growing larger and larger in his eyes, but he did not focus his attention on it. The power of this punch was strong, but not enough to kill him.

"It's definitely not him!"

"Even if the Overlord Emperor truly has murderous intent, he doesn't have the ability. Even if his true form were here, he would at most be on par with the Human Emperor, and it would be impossible for him to make me feel this kind of crisis."

This is the arena. Besides me and the Overlord Emperor, there are only the seeds.

Is the seed trying to kill its father?

impossible?

The seed is equivalent to the Heavenly Dao in the outside world, and its projection in this small world should have a similar status. Why would it want to kill Laozi?
Could it be because I and the Overlord Emperor tricked him, causing him to consume a large amount of the power of the rules?
That shouldn't be the case. If he had murderous intent because of this, he should have appeared long ago.

This has been going on for so long, I've already finished forging the Jade Bone once, and it's only now that I'm feeling murderous. That's a bit illogical.

That was the murderous intent that just arose! But I didn't do anything!

Could it be because I just retracted my severed arm and preserved a piece of the Overlord Emperor's essence?
possible!
All projections here are under the jurisdiction of the seed, and the energy in them is provided by the seed.

Although they cannot be taken back at will, their upper limit of strength can be controlled.

Lao Tzu withheld a portion of the original source, which is equivalent to snatching food from a tiger's mouth. It is normal for the seed to generate murderous intent.

Even if the seed is unhappy, so what? In this little world, who can do anything to me?

Take the current Overlord Emperor, for example; he already possesses the strength of an emperor.

But if he unleashed his full power, killing his opponent would only be a matter of time. Besides, this small world has a limit; if he unleashed too much power, the barrier would collapse.

"Then who else has the ability to kill me?"

"Is the seed going to take action itself?"

"impossible!

If the seeds could personally annihilate all living beings in the Three Realms, those emperors wouldn't be alive today.

The small world Fang Ping was in before his transmigration was a martial-free world created by a seed, waiting for all the powerful beings of the Three Realms to die so it could be used as a replacement.

"No one can kill me, so what's the point of having this killing intent?"

Thinking of this, he immediately felt relieved.

"and many more!"

Zhang Haoran thought of another question.

"Am I mistaken?"

The seed, not the projection here, is the one that cannot harm the beings of the Three Realms.

This rule does not apply within the boundary point. Just think about what happened to the Northern Emperor when he was struck by the Great Dao Thunder.
And then there's the Overlord Emperor, who will be rebuilt after being defeated by the seed.

Therefore, the rule that one cannot act against beings within this world cannot bind the seed projection; it can act against them.

Besides, I'm an outsider, not a native of this little world at all.
Even if this rule still applies, I'm not among those protected.

Almost forgot!

The seed had attacked Lao Tzu before.

That time, when the Life Fish was stolen, a bolt of lightning tens of meters thick fell from the sky.

If I hadn't managed to escape back to the Myriad Realms Tower in time, I would have been relentlessly pursued to the death.

So it seems that seeds can be planted, but rather that certain rules must be followed. Seeds cannot be planted unless I break the rules.

In other words, given the chance, this guy will definitely find a way to kill me.

Most importantly, the seed still possesses that strength. The killing intent that pierced his soul just now left him with lingering fear. He never expected the seed to be so powerful; even a single projection could rival a God Emperor!
However, Zhang Haoran didn't have time to think about it anymore.

The Overlord Emperor's punch landed squarely on his chest.

There was a loud bang!
He was blasted backward, his golden blood splattering through the air.

Zhang Haoran's injuries this time were extremely severe. His chest exploded, all his internal organs were shattered, and half of his body was blasted into a bloody mist.

Instead of pressing his advantage, the Overlord Emperor angrily rebuked, "What are you doing? I just told you to go all out in the battle. Why are you spacing out at this moment?"
And you're not even mobilizing your qi and blood for defense? Do you think I can't kill you?

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"fine!"

From Zhang Haoran's shattered heart, an indestructible power surged forth, a flash of golden light appeared, and his injuries began to heal rapidly.

He didn't show any unusual behavior, suppressing all his doubts, and gave a wry smile, saying, "Hehe! I just saw that your move was extremely powerful, so I wanted to see if I could withstand it."

This will help me forge my jade bones. I didn't expect your attack to be so strong; I was almost killed by your punch.

The Overlord Emperor was unaware that he was affected by that killing intent, and his mind was only focused on the seed. He didn't pay much attention to the punch, which is why he was beaten so badly.

Under that deadly crisis, they couldn't care less about the confrontation at hand.

The Overlord Emperor said somewhat helplessly, "Even if you have forged the Jade Bone, you can't be too careless. You still need to defend yourself."

If I hadn't realized something was wrong and stopped in time, that punch would have really killed you!
"Your current invincible body is indeed very strong, but it's not strong enough to ignore an attack from a king."

"Ok!"

"I understand! I was too naive just now, thinking that forging jade bones would make me invincible. I will definitely be more careful in the future."

Come on, let's continue!

Zhang Haoran immediately brandished his sword and charged forward, not wanting to give the Overlord Emperor any time to think.

Otherwise, the other party would definitely have noticed his momentary lapse in concentration and might have been able to deduce something from him.

The Overlord Emperor is merely a projection and is still subject to the control of the seed.
If he finds out that Seed intervened in their fight, given the Tyrant Emperor's personality, he might just go after Seed to the death.

Don't assume these projections will be restrained; they are all former emperors, and they are willing to fight to the death in critical moments.

In the original story, the Overlord Emperor was formatted after fighting a battle with the Seed.

Zhang Haoran didn't want to see this scene happen in front of him.

Even if the Overlord Emperor is to die, he must die with value.
Although he is now stronger and has recovered to the level of an emperor, he is definitely no match for a seed.

The killing intent that the seed just revealed proves that it is definitely a sixth-order being.

"Forget it, I shouldn't think about it too much. It's more important to improve my strength as soon as possible and forge the jade bone to leave this place."

Even if we really have to fight the seed, we can't do it here, or we'll implicate the Overlord Emperor.

Zhang Haoran suppressed all his doubts. What he needed to do now was to increase his strength as much as possible. When he had the power to sweep away everything, all the conspiracies and tricks would be nothing but fleeting clouds.

"boom!"

The two exchanged deadly moves and were both knocked back.

This time, Zhang Haoran hadn't even recovered from his injuries. He forcibly stopped his retreat, braced himself against the shockwave, and charged forward. His eyes were incredibly determined. As long as he had the strength to charge forward, he absolutely could not retreat. His indestructible power, life force, and true blood were being consumed without regard to the cost.

He needed to finish forging the jade bones as soon as possible, as he might not have much time left. He didn't know when the seed would attack him! It was best if he didn't get caught up in the Heavenly Emperor's challenge.

"Hehe! Very good, fighting to the death without retreating, that's more interesting."

The Overlord Emperor was very pleased to see this, but at the same time, he became even more ruthless, wondering what had gotten into this kid? Why was he suddenly fighting so desperately?
Seeing the resolute look in the other's eyes, the Overlord Emperor was also filled with passion. He was born to fight and never feared battle. As long as the enemy dared to charge over, he would definitely fight back!
The two clashed again. Zhang Haoran became extremely serious, desperately trying to learn combat experience from the Overlord Emperor. Every time the opponent used a different killing move, he would completely abandon defense and withstand the attack head-on.

This will not only allow the jade bones to be forged faster, but also allow one to fully experience the power of this move.

He benefited greatly, especially from the techniques for generating power.

Zhang Haoran originally thought he had mastered quite a few power generation techniques.

Shocking force, spiraling force, pouring force, unloading force, force transfer... but compared to the Overlord Emperor, it is far inferior. Tearing, cutting, penetrating, annihilation... the most terrifying is annihilation, which is the Overlord Emperor's unique force exertion technique, which should be improved based on the Battle Emperor's battle tactics.

The War God Emperor achieved molecular-level destructive power by utilizing the power of vibration.

The Overlord Emperor, on the other hand, focused his power—enough to shatter a mountain—onto a very small point, achieving the same annihilation effect.

Moreover, there's no way to counter this kind of pure burst of power; one can only hope not to get hit. (End of Chapter)
