Xiao Zhan: Take My Eight Extremes Collapse!

A faint red hue gradually spread through his arm. Moments later, his entire arm had turned crimson, looking from afar like an arm made of flame.

"This is the forelimb of a Fifth Tier Monster Beast, the Blazing Flame Mountain Breaking Rhinoceros. This Old Man has named it the Mountain Breaking Arm! With this arm, even against a Dou King Expert, this Old Man can contend for a few exchanges!"

"One last thing. Everyone of the Xiao Family, there is no direct enmity between the Mo Family and the Xiao Family. We came here today only because we were ordered to do so. It was truly an act of desperation."

"If the Xiao Family is willing to spare this Old Man, the Mo Family is willing to become a subsidiary family of the Xiao Family!"

Although he had already prepared to perish together with them, Mo Cheng still made one final attempt.

Once he died, the Mo Family would lose its Dou Ling Expert. Decline would inevitably follow, and with everyone kicking them while they were down, they might even be completely wiped out!

"This transplantation method is rather interesting. It is somewhat similar to the Barbarian Race this Old Man encountered while traveling the continent back then—man and beast becoming one..."

"Beast Soul, human soul, Demon Spirit, Magic Core, Beast Body, Puppet, Body Seizure, fusion..."

Old Yao's figure appeared beside Xiao Yan. A thoughtful look appeared in his eyes as he murmured to himself.

"Teacher, have you thought of another research idea?"

Seeing this, Xiao Yan's Corner of the Mouth Twitched Slightly as he asked in a low voice.

Who knew what was wrong with his Teacher? Ever since he had come into contact with the cultivation system of the Profound Sky Continent and tasted its benefits, he had wanted to study everything he saw.

"Leave his corpse intact. Your Teacher needs to test an idea. If it works, the Puppet can be optimized once more!"

Old Yao came back to his senses, a faint smile appearing on his face.

Magical Beast corpses were lifeless objects, and Puppets were lifeless objects as well. Humans and Magical Beast corpses could fuse together, so what if he modified a Puppet and integrated a Monster Beast's Demon Spirit and organs into it?

Could he create a Monster Beast Puppet that could cultivate and possessed independent intelligence?

"Yan'er, what do you think?"

Hearing Mo Cheng's words, Xiao Zhan was somewhat tempted as well. The three elders kept the former locked down while Xiao Zhan moved over to Xiao Yan.

"Teacher needs his corpse for research. Leave him an intact corpse."

"As for the Mo Family... the Imperial Family will handle it."

Looking at Mo Cheng, whose arm had become that of a Magical Beast, Xiao Yan pointed at Old Yao, who was shrouded in a black robe beside him, and spoke helplessly.

"Since Senior needs him, this old guy is destined to die."

At those words, Xiao Zhan's expression turned solemn. His Entire Body was enveloped in dense Dou Qi as he unleashed Lion Mountain Split at Mo Cheng.

"Too Arrogant!"

"You forced this Old Man to do it!"

Mo Cheng stared venomously at Xiao Zhan, then stomped fiercely on the ground. His knees bent slightly, and his body shot forward like a cannonball.

"Creak, creak..."

As he charged, Mo Cheng's unusually huge palm dragged across the ground. Its sharp fingers tore five deep furrows into the hard floor!

Though he was only a Two-Star Dou Ling, the aura he emitted at that moment was already comparable to Xiao Zhan, a Peak Dou Ling.

"Compared to the Barbarian Race's fusion with Beast Souls, the Mo Family's transplantation method cannot discard the beastly nature. It turns the human host into a Puppet driven by animal instinct."

Old Yao had been observing Mo Cheng's changes. When he saw the latter's eyes gradually turn crimson and his reason continuously eroded away, he shook his head.

"Such a paltry trick, and you dare show off before experts? This Old Man sees that you have no regard for us at all!"

"Second Brother, Third Brother, attack!"

The Great Elder shouted sharply. Then, together with the other two elders, he attacked at the same time, forming an encirclement with Xiao Zhan and trapping Mo Cheng in the middle.

Four high-level Dou Lings surrounding him, along with seventy-two Dou Qi Puppets at the Peak Great Dou Shi level stationed around the perimeter...

With a Heavenly Net such as this, let alone Mo Cheng, who had merely transplanted a Magical Beast limb, even the genuine Fifth Tier Monster Beast, the Blazing Flame Mountain Breaking Rhinoceros, would have only one outcome: death!

"Bastard, die!"

His face twisted in madness, the irrational Mo Cheng glared with bloodshot Eyes. He stomped fiercely on the ground and shot above Xiao Zhan's head, his massive palm smashing down.

"Bang!"

The instant his palm swung down, the air itself was battered by the terrifying force, producing a piercing sonic boom!

"Ka Cha, Ka Cha..."

Beneath Xiao Zhan's feet, the hard stone floor cracked inch by inch under the pressure of the terrifying force above!

"To preserve an intact corpse, it seems I'll have to use my full strength. Good thing Senior taught me this Dou Skill, or I really would have been in a scramble."

"Mysterious-tier High-grade Dou Skill, Eight Extremes Collapse!"

Xiao Zhan Took a Deep Breath, clenched his right fist, and hurled it forward. The terrifying force likewise produced wave after wave of sharp sound.

"Boom!"

Fist and beast claw collided violently.

Under Xiao Zhan's full-force attack, even with the partial strength of a Fifth Tier Monster Beast augmenting him, Mo Cheng was instantly blasted backward by the terrifying force contained within that fist.

"Pfft!"

Unlike Xiao Zhan, whose Entire Body was powerful, Mo Cheng could unleash the strength of a Half-step Dou Wang with one arm, but his internal organs could not withstand such a tyrannical collision. As he flew backward, he spewed a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of organs.

"In just a few months, Father has actually cultivated Hidden Strength."

Xiao Yan praised him in surprise.

Eight Extremes Collapse was a Mysterious-tier High-grade Dou Skill, a close-combat Dou Skill renowned for its overwhelming attack power. Once cultivated to mastery, each attack contained eight layers of force. When all eight layers stacked together, its power was comparable to a Low Earth Tier Dou Skill.

The same Eight Extremes Collapse displayed completely different power depending on whether it contained Hidden Strength.

Eightfold Hidden Strength stacked together was comparable to an Earth-tier Dou Skill.

Based on that evaluation alone, Eight Extremes Collapse was the strongest Dou Skill in the Jia Ma Empire!

After all, in the remote backwater that was the Jia Ma Empire, the most powerful Dou Skill of the strongest sect, the Misty Cloud Sect's Wind Extreme, was merely an unremarkable Mysterious-tier High-grade skill.

"Wave Overlap!"

"Fire Blowing Palm!"

"Clear Wind Spinning Fist!"

As Xiao Zhan sent Mo Cheng flying with a punch, the three elders naturally would not miss this chance to beat a drowning dog. They immediately and tacitly unleashed three Mysterious-tier Dou Skills.

One Peak Dou Ling and three Eight-Star Dou Lings against a Two-Star Dou Ling who had already lost his reason—even if the latter had transplanted the forelimb of a Fifth Tier Monster Beast, he was already severely injured. How could he possibly resist?

There was no surprise whatsoever. Under Old Yao and Xiao Yan's watchful Eyes, after only a few exchanges, Mo Cheng's heart meridians were shattered by Xiao Zhan's punch, and he died on the spot!

"It is over. However, after this battle, most of my Xiao Family's strength has also been exposed before everyone."

"Third Elder, please make a trip to the City Lord's Mansion and tell him that the Vice Commander of Zhen Gui Pass, the Local Snake of the Northeast provinces, and the Misty Cloud Sect colluded together, and have been slain by my Xiao Family."

Xiao Yan rubbed his chin. After thinking briefly, he turned to the Third Elder and spoke.

Wu Protector of the Soul Hall should have gotten involved with Yun Shan around the time Yun Shan broke through to Dou Zong. Yun Shan was still a gentleman in the early days, but a few years later, his temperament would become completely twisted.

By this point, Wu Protector should not yet have fully controlled Yun Shan. As for whether Yun Shan had already broken through to Dou Zong, or whether Wu Protector was currently in the Misty Cloud Sect...

He would have to trouble Jia Xing Tian, this chess piece, to probe them once more.
