One Slap Sends Taiyi Flying, The Entire Audience Stunned

Qin Feng's words, "Don't be afraid, I'm here," were like a warm current, instantly melting away all the ice in Shi Ji's heart.

But these words, gentle to the extreme, fell into Taiyi Zhenren's ears in the sky above like the most vicious mockery.

You're here?

What are you?

Taiyi Zhenren recovered from the searing pain and shock of his magic treasure being destroyed. His handsome face was contorted with extreme rage, completely devoid of any immortal grace.

He stared intently at the gray-robed figure below, his divine sense scanning frantically, trying to discern the other's origins.

His aura was ancient and unfathomable, as if he had lived as long as heaven and earth.

His physical body seemed to contain a terrifying power capable of shattering stars.

But what about his cultivation?

There wasn't the slightest fluctuation of spiritual power!

He's just a mortal?

No, impossible!

How could a mortal shatter his Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover with just the residual shockwave of his emergence?

Taiyi Zhenren's mind raced, and an absurd yet seemingly the only logical explanation surfaced.

"So that's how it is!"

A flicker of realization flashed in his eyes, quickly replaced by intense contempt and greed.

"I understand! You're no great power. You're just an Innate Being who has just undergone transformation, possessing only brute strength and not even knowing how to conceal your aura!"

The more he thought about it, the more convinced he became.

In the prehistoric world, there were always some gifted beings with extraordinary origins, possessing immense power and divine abilities from birth.

However, these beings often awakened their intellect very late, like a child holding a mountain of gold, completely unaware of how to wield their own strength.

This person before him must be such a case!

Terrifying aura? That's because he doesn't know how to conceal it, leading to his power leaking out!

Shattered the Divine Fire Cover with a roar? That was him triggering his innate power during his transformation, a one-time burst!

Once he figured this out, the fear that had just arisen in Taiyi Zhenren's heart vanished instantly, replaced by boundless excitement.

This was a being with an innate origin!

If he could capture and refine this being into his life-bound avatar, or directly devour his origin... wouldn't his cultivation soar to the heavens, perhaps even allowing him to glimpse the threshold of a Quasi-Saint?

As for the strength he just displayed?

He's just a brute who doesn't even know how to use spiritual power, what's there to be afraid of!

"What kind of demonic evil are you, daring to interfere in the affairs of my Chan Sect with such ignorance of heaven and earth?"

Taiyi Zhenren's greed and arrogance completely overwhelmed his reason. He glared down and shouted sternly, regaining the condescending demeanor of a Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect.

"I don't care what your origins are. Today, you have offended me, and it marks the beginning of your eternal damnation!"

"You're seeking death!"

As his voice fell, he forcibly suppressed the injuries to his primordial spirit, formed a hand seal, and attempted to activate the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover again.

But as his divine sense moved, he suddenly remembered that his treasure had been blown to pieces.

Taiyi Zhenren's face instantly turned the color of liver, filled with shame and fury.

He roared and directly hurled out the shattered fragments of the Divine Fire Cover, pouring his immense spiritual power into them.

"Burn the heavens and boil the seas for me, and burn him to death!"

The fragments glowed intensely. Although they could no longer form the divine fire dragons, they spewed out innate divine fire even more ferocious and chaotic than before, like a rolling sea of fire, sweeping towards Qin Feng.

This time, he would burn this ignorant fool, along with that Stone Goblin, to ashes to vent his hatred!

The sea of fire raged, its power terrifying.

Shi Ji, who had just felt a glimmer of hope, turned pale again, instinctively wanting to shield Qin Feng.

He had emerged for her sake; she could not stand by and watch him fall into danger because of her.

However, as soon as she moved, a warm and strong hand gently rested on her shoulder.

Qin Feng didn't even look back at her, his upright back still facing her.

Facing the terrifying sea of fire capable of burning mountains and boiling seas, Qin Feng didn't even lift an eyelid.

He casually raised his right hand and lightly waved it towards the surging crimson in front of him.

The movement was as if he were swatting away an annoying fly, casual and unconcerned.

This palm strike seemed incredibly slow, not even stirring a gust of wind.

But the moment it was unleashed, an indescribable Dao charm spread out.

Time seemed to slow down as if a slow-motion button had been pressed.

The space completely solidified at this moment.

That wild, raging innate divine fire, which seemed capable of burning all things, abruptly stopped when it was still a hundred zhang away from Qin Feng.

All the flames, all the heatwaves, all the power, were frozen in mid-air, forming an incredibly bizarre painting.

Immediately after, that casually delivered palm, arriving later but striking first, ignored the distance of space and imprinted itself upon the still sea of fire.

There was no earth-shattering roar.

No world-destroying explosion.

That innate divine fire, enough to make ordinary Grand Unity Golden Immortals turn pale with fear, along with the fragments of the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover magic treasure, under that light and airy palm strike, were like ice and snow under the scorching sun, or like dust wiped away by a rag.

Starting from the point of contact, they silently annihilated, decomposed, and vanished.

Not even a spark of fire, not a speck of dust, was left behind.

It was as if they had never existed in this world.

Crushed!

This was a true, complete crushing from the level of laws!

High above, Taiyi Zhenren's face, still bearing ferocity and greed, froze completely.

His pupils, at this instant, contracted to the extreme, shrinking into the most dangerous pinpoint!

His brain, at this instant, completely crashed, becoming a blank slate.

What... was this?

What divine ability was this?

What power was this?

Before he could even react to this worldview-shattering terror, he was horrified to discover that the palm that had been swung, after erasing all his attacks, still had its residual power undiminished.

That seemingly fair, slender, and perfect hand, like a work of art, pierced through the solidified space, tore through the shackles of time, and at a speed he could neither comprehend nor react to, moved towards his face.

Striking first despite arriving later!

Every hair on Taiyi Zhenren's body stood on end at this moment!

A sense of mortal danger, originating from the deepest part of his soul, crashed down upon his heart like billions of icebergs.

He wanted to dodge, to flee, to summon all his magic treasures to protect himself.

But it was useless!

His body, his primordial spirit, his thoughts, at this moment, seemed to be completely suppressed by the supreme Dao Charm emanating from that palm, rendering him utterly unable to move!

He could only watch, with his own eyes, as that palm grew larger and clearer in his vision.

"Slap--!"

A crisp, piercingly loud slap, like divine thunder from the nine heavens, suddenly exploded, spreading throughout Skeleton Mountain, and even across tens of thousands of miles of heaven and earth.

The next second.

Under the utterly stunned gazes of Shi Ji, Biyun, Caiyun, and all the surviving beings on Skeleton Mountain.

Taiyi Zhenren, one of the Chan Sect's Twelve Golden Immortals, with profound cultivation and noble status, who had been so arrogant moments ago, was sent flying like a ball kicked by a giant.

His body traced a tragically beautiful parabola through the air, accompanied by a long string of immortal blood glittering with golden specks in the sunlight, finally transforming into a tiny meteor and disappearing into the distant horizon.

He didn't even have time to let out a scream.

On Skeleton Mountain, one could hear a pin drop.

No, not even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard.

The wind stopped, the clouds stilled, and the breathing of all the spirit monsters ceased.

Shi Ji's already large, phoenix-like eyes widened even further, her small mouth slightly agape, her entire being like sculpted wood, completely petrified.

Her two young attendants, Biyun and Caiyun, rolled their eyes back, almost fainting from fright on the spot.

One slap.

Just such a casual, light slap.

A Grand Unity Golden Immortal, renowned throughout the prehistoric world... was sent flying like this?

Both person and treasure, without even a shred left, were cleared from Skeleton Mountain, both physically and conceptually?

Shi Ji felt her primordial spirit tremble, not from fear, but from an unprecedented, extreme shock that surpassed the limits of imagination.

Is this... truly the power a stone can possess?

Is this truly, her backer?
