Gaze and you will become stronger: starting from Doupo

Meanwhile, in the Perfect World universe, the climax of the story is unfolding.

In the desolate region, chaos reigned within the Stone Kingdom's royal palace.

"Senior... what did he do!" An old, white-haired elder stared at the sky, his cloudy eyes filled with terror. The divine power within him surged wildly out of the palace like a burst dam.

"What are these blue-green lights? Why did they fly from our bodies to our senior?" The young prince gripped his sword, his voice trembling. He could clearly feel that these lights contained the essence of his years of cultivation.

"I don't know! This is the first time I've encountered such a situation, and I haven't seen any record of it in ancient books!" A scholar who studies ancient secrets slumped to the ground, his bamboo slips scattered all over the floor.

"I don't feel any decrease in divine power within me either, I really don't understand." A burly general circulated his cultivation technique and was surprised to find that his power had not weakened, but rather felt even stronger, which made everyone even more confused.

Unlike other planes where power is gathered through golden bowls, in the eight domains of the lower realm, any faith power produced flew directly into the outer realm and floated around Jiang Han.

Above the Medicine Capital, the five overlord-level giants frowned, bewildered, as they watched the power of faith emanating from the bodies of countless cultivators in the Eight Domains.

“Those are…” A woman holding a jade fan looked on with a puzzled expression.

"What kind of trick is this!" A burly man whose body was wrapped in chains clenched his fists.

"Could the situation possibly change?" An elderly man with white hair stroked his beard, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.

"Legend has it that in ancient times there were immortals who could mobilize the power of all living beings for their own use. Could it be that this Ancestor Hongjun..." The ancient goddess with double pupils stared blankly, as if she had remembered some ancient secrets, and disbelief appeared in her eyes. Her double pupils glowed slightly, trying to see through the essence of this mysterious power, but she only saw chaos.

"My God, who are you?! Were you hiding your true strength all this time?" In the outer battlefield, the Bone Tower floated beside Jiang Han, uttering a surprised exclamation. The runes on its surface flickered wildly, revealing its inner shock.

At this moment, Jiang Han was enveloped in blue-green light surging from all directions. Above his head, a huge golden bowl floated, its rim pointing downwards, spewing out beams of blue-green light like an inverted Milky Way, directly piercing Jiang Han's entire body. His figure appeared and disappeared in the light, as if he had merged with heaven and earth.

"Die!" The Nine Nether Hound's gaze fixed on Jiang Han, its brows furrowing before letting out a long howl. Its nine tails thrashed wildly, the black light bursting from its scales blotting out the sky. The next moment, a terrifying black beam of light, formed by the intertwining of the nine dragon mouths, pierced the heavens, shattering space in its path, and shot fiercely towards Jiang Han.

Boom!

However, just as the terrifying beam of light was about to pierce Jiang Han's body, Jiang Han opened his eyes, and a ray of blue-green light shot out, directly meeting the beam of light fired by the Nine Nether Hound. This ray of light, though seemingly slender, contained the power to create the world.

A deafening roar!
The blue-green light, like a peerless divine sword, annihilated the terrifying beam of light with overwhelming force. The aftershocks of the collision between the black energy and the blue-green light unleashed a storm in the outer realms powerful enough to destroy a galaxy.

"This...this is impossible!" The Nine Nether Beast was shocked, its expression changing drastically. As an ancient ferocious beast, it had devoured countless powerful beings, but it had never encountered such a terrifying opponent.

"Awooo—!" The Nine Nether Hound roared, its scales glowing, its nine tails trembling, bursting forth with boundless divine light.

"Nine Netherworld Heavenly Technique!"

With a roar, the Nine Nether Beast shook its nine dragon heads, each transforming into a true dragon, trapping Jiang Han from nine directions. Simultaneously, it spewed black-purple flames, scorching Jiang Han within the blue-green pillar of light, attempting to refine him with the power of the Nine Netherworlds. This Nine Netherworld fire, forged over millions of years in the depths of the Nine Netherworld, could incinerate all living things; even a true god would be reduced to ashes upon contact.

However, to the Nine Netherworld Hound's horror, no matter how fiercely its Netherworld Fire burned, it could not burn through the blue-green light shield surrounding its opponent's body. Ripples spread across the surface of the light shield, like pebbles thrown into a calm lake, completely neutralizing the power of the flames.

"This battle is pointless now."

An utterly calm voice rang out from the battlefield beyond the realms, then drifted across the eight domains. Though the voice was serene, it struck a chord deep within everyone's heart. This voice seemed to possess a magical power, causing all who heard it to involuntarily lower their weapons.

Amidst the buzzing sound, the blue-green light surrounding Jiang Han's body, as well as the blue-green beam of light hanging from the golden bowl above his head, instantly contracted into his body. The next moment, Jiang Han took a step forward, and all the surrounding blue-green light disappeared, but what changed along with it was the aura emanating from him.

If Jiang Han was powerful before, he now gives off a very ordinary feeling, without the slightest bit of pressure emanating from him. But if you truly treat him as an ordinary person, you will find that he has an eerie aura, making you inexplicably want to kneel down and prostrate yourself. This aura is like the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao, the manifestation of the rules, instilling a sense of awe in people instinctively.

The powerful beings of all realms watched this unfold, their hearts filled with turmoil. They knew that a colossal upheaval, capable of altering the very fabric of all planes, was quietly beginning. As for the mysterious being named Jiang Han, what were his true intentions, and where would he lead the myriad realms? No one could know.

In the primordial chaos of the outer battlefield, dark purple gales, like countless invisible blades, tore through space. Jiang Han stood with his hands behind his back, his black robes fluttering in the stillness, his hair, like ink snakes, slightly upturned, each strand seemingly imbued with the laws of heaven and earth. He took a seemingly casual step, yet the entire void was torn apart like silk by a giant hand, and a huge, pitch-black gaping hole appeared behind him. Within the gaping hole, black lightning surged like an ancient dragon, sometimes converging, sometimes dispersing, exploding with a roar powerful enough to shatter stars. Stars swirled within, some bright and dazzling, others dim and lifeless, as if enacting the birth and death of the universe. The supreme power released from the gaping hole caused the void within a radius of ten thousand miles to distort and deform, spreading out in layers like ripples on water after a boulder has been thrown in.

"Awooo—!" The Nine Nether Hound roared to the sky, its voice filled with boundless ferocity and rage, as if it wanted to tear the entire void apart. Its body was engulfed in Netherworld Fire, a deep, dark blue flame, like the gates of the Netherworld abruptly opened, from which the wails of countless wronged souls faintly echoed. The Nine Nether Hound urged these flames forward, surging towards Jiang Han, attempting to completely devour him.

However, shockingly, even though the blue-green light shield around Jiang Han's body had dissipated, the Nine Nether Flames, upon touching him, were completely undisturbed, like a mud ox sinking into the sea. Jiang Han remained calm, raising his hand and gently waving it, as if dispelling a wisp of smoke. With a hiss, countless spiderweb-like cracks spread within the Nine Nether Flames, and the flames began to disintegrate at a visible speed. In no time, they completely vanished into the void, leaving only wisps of ashes drifting in the air.

"How...how could this be..." The Nine Nether Hound's eyes widened, and its nine heads roared in disbelief simultaneously. It stared at Jiang Han, who was slowly drifting towards it, and fear finally surfaced in its previously arrogant eyes. It couldn't understand. Just a short while ago, this person before it was merely an early-stage Supreme Being, with an ordinary aura, but in this instant, he seemed to stand at the pinnacle of Supreme Being, his oppressive aura as vast and boundless as an abyss, completely enveloping it.

"You've done very well." Jiang Han's voice was as calm as a still lake, devoid of any emotion. The moment he finished speaking, he pointed a finger, and a dazzling golden light pierced through the void, rushing towards the Nine Nether Hound.

In an instant, the Nine Nether Hound let out a piercing scream as a terrifying, invisible force invaded its entire body. This force, like countless tiny steel needles, pierced directly through its scales, which were as hard as black iron, and seeped into its body, mercilessly tearing at its internal organs. The Nine Nether Hound writhed in agony, its nine tails whipping wildly, causing spatial tremors, and black orbs of light condensed from its nine enormous dragon heads. These orbs were covered with strange runes and emitted a chilling aura; previously, they had easily pierced through the system's absolute defense, their power truly terrifying.

However, these black orbs of light were as fragile as bubbles when facing Jiang Han. Jiang Han casually raised his hand and slapped them, and an invisible force spread out. Before the black orbs could even hit him, they exploded in mid-air, turning into starlight and dissipating.

"What other tricks do you have up your sleeve? Show them before I kill you." Jiang Han's tone was nonchalant, yet his eyes held a disdainful indifference, as if looking down upon ants. Since receiving the blessing of the faith power from the myriad planes, the power within him had surged like a burst dam, rising several levels in an instant. At this moment, his strength was comparable to when he had fully developed the Rumble-Rumble Fruit in the Shrouding the Heavens plane. In short, he was now a flawless Great Emperor!

However, this power of faith, though strong, was not inexhaustible. The line of small, golden text in the lower right corner of the prestige value interface turned gray, silently telling of the limitations of this power. Jiang Han knew in his heart that he had to finish this battle quickly.

"Nine Netherworlds Unite!" The Nine Netherworld Hound finally realized the impending crisis. Its nine heads roared simultaneously, and its nine enormous tails began to lash out rhythmically. With each lash, an ancient and eerie syllable resonated, rumbling like thunder or the beating of ancient war drums. In this desperate situation, it unleashed an ancient secret technique, forming nine hand seals in one breath. Each seal corresponded to a divine power. The nine tails slowly converged, and the nine divine powers merged within them, radiating a blinding light. Within that light, it seemed as if chaos had been created and heaven and earth reforged; the power was so immense that it could eclipse the sun and moon.

"Kill!" The Nine Nether Hound combined nine precious techniques into one, its ultimate move, which had killed countless supreme beings with this move. Now, it was unleashing its full power, and the entire outer battlefield was trembling violently, as if it could not withstand this power and would collapse.

Facing the oncoming Nine Nether Hounds, Jiang Han showed no fear. He raised his hand, and a ball of eerie white light appeared in his palm. Within the light, the Tremor-Tremor Fruit slowly rotated, radiating powerful energy. Boom! A deafening explosion rang out, and a terrifying energy storm spread wildly outwards from the two of them. The outer battlefield shattered completely under the impact of this force, turning into a sky filled with white light, obscuring everything!

Everyone instinctively closed their eyes, feeling the aftershocks sweep over them. Even from a great distance, they could feel the terrifying power contained within. After a long while, when they opened their eyes again, the image projected on the void battlefield had vanished, leaving only emptiness.

What was the outcome of the battle?

"Where are they!"

"there!"

……

Coming to their senses, the group of leaders immediately began searching for Jiang Han and Jiu You'ao. Their gazes swept around, eventually settling on the direction of the Stone Kingdom's imperial palace.

Above the palace, Jiang Han stood with his hands behind his back, exuding an indescribable aura of majesty. A mysterious bone tower floated on his shoulder, swaying gently back and forth, its surface shimmering with strange runes, as if absorbing the power of heaven and earth. To his right, a golden battle suit floated silently—the Supreme Battle Suit, its patterns shimmering with a faint light, seemingly telling of its extraordinary origins. To his left, an enormous, rippling hand stretched across the sky, restraining a semi-transparent object.

Upon closer inspection, the so-called translucent object was indeed the soul of the Nine Nether Hound. Its physical body had been completely destroyed in the previous earth-shattering collision. The soul of the Nine Nether Hound struggled and twisted incessantly, its nine heads emitting unwilling roars, filled with anger and despair.

"Master won! Master won!" Inside the Stone Kingdom's palace, the little boy was the first to react, his childish voice filled with barely suppressed excitement and joy. He jumped up and down, his eyes full of admiration as he looked at Jiang Han in the sky, as if he were seeing an omnipotent god.

"Senior, congratulations..." Following Little One, the Stone Emperor, Fire Emperor, Nether King, Sky-Splitting Demon Butterfly, Nine-Headed Lion, and other Venerables came to their senses one after another. Their voices trembled as they bowed to Jiang Han. At this moment, in their eyes, Jiang Han was already a symbol of invincibility.

"How on earth did he do it?"

"What kind of power was that? Or perhaps, this is his true strength!"

"Even among the same Supreme Being, the difference in this major realm is simply too great!"

……

Above the Medicine Capital, the five overlord-level giants, including Chaos True Man and Black Gold Sparrow, were still in a daze, unable to extricate themselves from the awe-inspiring supreme battle they had just witnessed. The situation had reversed far too quickly, especially Jiang Han's sudden surge in strength at the end, which left them completely bewildered, their hearts filled with doubt and shock.
