Counterattack System appeared when I'm already At The Mahayana Realm

Tang Yi had to swallow hard, marveling at how this imperious, robed man had remained hidden under his bed in a hub of spiritual energy. Just how lucky was he to have survived till this moment?

The moment the Emperor appeared, it turned everyone’s understanding of cultivation upside down. In this era, the Divinity Transformation Stage was considered the most powerful. But what about this man robed like an emperor?

The magnificent power he displayed was unprecedented, even in mythical legends.

And yet, this man with boundless strength seemed to be on guard, watching the newcomer without blinking an eye, not daring to lax in the slightest.

Even though the newcomer seemed ordinary, lacking even the aura of a Qi Cultivation Stage cultivator.

Two men with identical appearances but starkly different demeanors locked their gazes. After declaring “I, Emperor Jiang Li,” no one spoke again.

...

The Emperor eyed Jiang Li warily. In his life, he had never suffered defeat, unbeatable by peers and at his own stage, until there were no more rivals left.

He unified the nine provinces and subdued the heavens. His zeal for battle only grew stronger and he achieved an unprecedented feat – he forced the Immortal Realm into retreat!

The Emperor’s only defeat was in his dream battle against Jiang Li.

In that fight, the Emperor conceded defeat, admitting that he was outmatched and unable to overpower Jiang Li, even with his full strength. There appeared to be no opportunity for a comeback.

The gap was too significant.

The Emperor was not one to give up easily. After his defeat, he quickly pulled himself together and sought to make up for his disadvantage with more intensive cultivation.

The Emperor had always sought to duel with Jiang Li, hence his frequent visits to the dream realm.

Unfortunately, all he met in the dream realm was an idle Jiang Li, who had no particular merit except for enduring blows.

If not for the fact that they both bore the name Jiang Li, the Emperor would not even have bothered with him.

Over the last year, the Emperor had been single-mindedly seeking the escaped Immortal Realm and had not visited the dream realm.

He came to the Orange Heart World in search of fragments of the Heavenly Ascension Ladder.

The task assigned by the system was to kill a God-transformation stage cultivator, but the Emperor discovered that the cultivator was already long dead.

What a rubbish system, with such high latencies.

Just as the Emperor was about to lose hope, he stumbled upon fragments of the Heavenly Ascension Ladder within the hub of spiritual energy, which he presumed to be the reward from the system. ȓΆ𐌽őВÈȘ

The Emperor dived into the hub of spiritual energy and sealed himself off, releasing spiritual energy. After several months of searching, he finally found the fragments in the space layers.

When he obtained the fragments, he lost control of his spiritual energy, causing a gusher that broke the seal on the spiritual energy hub.

Who would have thought that he would come across the opponent he had been eagerly seeking in his dreams just as he emerged from the hub of spiritual energy?

Without a doubt, the newcomer was Jiang Li from a new parallel world, stronger than the Emperor himself, yet easily mistaken for an ordinary person. It could only be Emperor Jiang Li!

“Ha, ha ha ha, you’ve finally shown up!” Monarch chuckled instinctively, then his laughter grew more boisterous, setting the entire world trembling.

“I’ve been looking for you for a while, and yet you never showed up!”

Jiang Li tampered down the world’s tremors and smirked, teasing, “So you can actually talk like a normal person. I thought you only referred to yourself as ‘this Emperor’.”

“Fight me!” The Emperor, burning with a fighting spirit and ambitious desires, wished to redeem his previous shame.

Jiang Li flew through the world barrier and into the void. The Emperor followed closely behind.

The power of their clash could easily destroy the world even with just the aftershocks.

Boom–

The brawl between those in the Mahayana realm began, its intensity trumped the Emperor’s battle against the Heavenly Dao – this fight was enough to be noted down as the greatest in history!

The number of individuals qualified to watch this duel could be counted on one’s fingers.

The Emperor made the first move, unleashing a punch charged with latent energy. His punch thrummed with such energy, resonating from primordial times to the present, suppressing all discordant noises, even causing ripples in the void.

Any past or present cultivator who witnessed this punch would prostrate themselves in reverence, worshiping him as a god.

However, Jiang Li simply extended his palm to block the punch.

“Too light.”

Jiang Li contracted his palm, grabbed hold of the Emperor’s fist, tossed him over, and even added a kick.

The Emperor had anticipated this and simultaneously kicked out.

Their kicks collided. The Emperor, coming up short in strength, was sent flying.

“Unifying Divinity with Qi, the five elements into one, Applied Creation Lightning Charm!” Using his own blood as a guide, the Emperor sketched out complex runes, merging his grand momentum with the universe, becoming the supreme master of lightning techniques, towering over all other lightning methods.

Jiang Li raised his eyebrows. The runes the Emperor used were unheard of – they held immense power and suited the Emperor perfectly – as if they were designed for battling.

“Are these runes of your creation?” Jiang Li quickly made a guess.

“These are the unique runes I created after my battle against the Heavenly Dao, created specifically for me. I named them ‘Imperial Runes’!”

The thunder rumbled, like a grand ocean, vast and devoid of light. As far as the eye could see, there was only dazzling thunder, blindingly bright.

The void had transformed into an ocean of thunder. Not even the 16th Heavenly Ascension Tribulation could compare with it.

Amongst the current thunder tribulations, the most potent one appeared when achieving the Primordial Pinnacle Immortal Status. The Emperor’s Applied Creation Lightning Charm far surpassed this tribulation.

What the Emperor executed couldn’t be accurately called a thunder tribulation, but rather, a death tribulation.

No being could survive the Applied Creation Lightning Charm.

In this moment, all cultivators who practiced thunder techniques felt a shift.

“Ugh–” The God-transformation stage cultivator who had just cast the “God Shadow Thunders” technique in the Orange Heart World spat up a mouthful of blood.

“Senior, what’s wrong with you?”

The man’s real name was Li Xingyun. As he continued to cough up blood, he wore an incredulous expression: “It’s a mountain… A mountain in the path of thunder techniques has appeared! Unsurpassable!”

Instances similar to Li Xingyun’s reaction were occurring across the Ten Thousand Realms.

“Unite!” The Emperor yelled, and the ocean of thunder rapidly closed in, its power centralized on Jiang Li. The power was terrifying beyond measure!

Jiang Li remained serene and collected, extending two fingers to touch the thunder.

“Turning Thunder into Gold.”

The thunder that Jiang Li touched immediately turned to gold, setting off a chain reaction and transforming all the thunder to gold, rendering it harmless.

Jiang Li outstretched a huge hand, kneaded the gold together, molded it into the shape of lightning, and threw it towards the Emperor, simultaneously whispering, “Revert.”

The gold transformed back into thunder, the power unabated. Except this time, the target wasn’t Jiang Li, but the Emperor!

The Emperor was smeared in the face by his own technique, making him grubby and weary, and evaluated to sustain significant injuries.

A drop of blood splattered onto Jiang Li. He caught it with his fingertip, cast a minor spell, and returned it to the Emperor.

Upon sustaining injuries, the Emperor’s body was quick to regenerate as if time was rewinding and returning him to his original state.

The blood Jiang Li had cast a spell on also returned to the Emperor’s body, assimilating all his blood.

“Explode.”

All the blood in the Emperor’s body exploded, turning into a mist of blood, leaving the Emperor bloodless, deathly pale, and resembling a dried corpse.

The Emperor harnessed the power of Creation to generate Imperial Blood. His face regained its color, his blood surged, reaching for the heavens, and returned him to his peak state.
