Far off in the sky, two utterly terrifying auras wildly entangled and collided with each other!
Above the azure heavens, the lazy white clouds had long since been torn to pieces by those incomparably violent auras! Even the surrounding space seemed to tremble slightly beneath the pressure of those two vast presences!
Below, the two Hall of Souls Protectors who had retreated far away found their soul bodies beneath their black robes trembling uncontrollably under that terrifying pressure. It felt as though they were carrying a thousand-pound boulder, their minds crushed beneath it, their breathing growing incomparably heavy!
Further below, although the Xiao Family members were protected by the golden barrier and could not feel that terrifying pressure—even the slightest leak of which would have crushed them ten thousand times over—they watched the sky change color, the horrific scene resembling the arrival of the apocalypse. Their hearts rose to their throats, filled with worry.
High in the air, Ninth Heavenly Venerate stared fixedly at the young figure opposite him. The indifference and arrogance on his ancient face had long vanished, replaced by unprecedented gravity and... madness!
He could clearly sense that the energy gathering in that brat's palm was so terrifying that it had faintly surpassed even his full-power Soul Burst Heavenly Star!
"You little bastard! That... wasn't even your full strength?!" Ninth Heavenly Venerate gritted his teeth, his voice squeezed through the gaps between them, filled with incredulous fury. "You... you can actually unleash a Dou Technique even stronger than that last move?!"
"But you are ultimately only a Dou Zong! And I am a true Dou Zun!" A savage glint flashed through his eyes. "No matter what fortuitous encounter or trump card you possess, I will kill you today! I cannot let you live!"
He roared madly, his hands forming ever more complex seals as if in a frenzy. He wildly drew upon the Heaven and Earth Energy within a thousand li, continuously strengthening the black sphere of energy in his hands!
On the other side, Xiao Yao's face overflowed with unprecedented heroic fervor!
"Ha ha ha ha! Exhilarating! Truly exhilarating!"
He could feel every inch of his muscles and bones, every cell in his body, roaring with excitement beneath this immense pressure! Since crossing into this world, this was the first time he had used ten percent of his strength, the first time he was preparing to unleash his strongest strike without holding anything back!
With a cultivation comparable to the peak of the Dou Emperor realm, he would face a two-star Dou Zun head-on!
Today, I, Xiao Yao, could be said to have created a miracle unprecedented in the history of the Dou Qi Continent!
"Carefree Seal, condense!"
He shouted inwardly. Within his dantian, golden Immortal Family Mana surged out without reservation like a river bursting through its banks! Even his immense Spirit Realm soul power was thrown into the seal in his palm without hesitation!
"Buzzz—!"
As that immense energy poured in, the dazzling golden seal in Xiao Yao's palm instantly blazed with boundless radiance! An entirely new seal, larger and more complex than the Heaven Annihilating Seal, with threads of mysterious violet-gold Dao charm flowing over it, slowly condensed above his palm!
The moment this seal appeared, the energy of the entire world seemed to be stirred by it, emitting a hum of submission!
"Condense... for me!"
Xiao Yao's eyes turned bloodshot. Putting everything into this one strike, he madly compressed that vast energy, enough to burst apart any Dou Zong expert!
Even his palms, tempered by the Lightning Law and harder than metal, could not withstand that terrifying compression of energy!
"Crack!"
A muffled sound like thunder erupted from his palms!
His hands instantly split open, flesh torn and blood flowing freely! Pale white bones could faintly be seen beneath!
Seeing this horrifying sight, Xiao Yao felt it even more deeply. No wonder Xiao Yan in the original story had found it incredibly difficult even to cultivate a Heaven Tier Dou Technique. Techniques and immortal arts that touched upon the ultimate laws of heaven and earth truly possessed such terrifying power!
If he had not undergone Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering, making his physical body far stronger than those of the same realm, the backlash of this energy alone would have been enough to blast both his arms into fragments on the spot!
Yet Xiao Yao seemed not to feel the agonizing pain coming from his palms at all!
An almost wildly exhilarated smile appeared on his face!
He could feel his soul power and Immortal Family Mana merging perfectly under this extreme pressure with an unprecedented smoothness!
Good boy! He grasped it so quickly! This is true natural Dao, where the spirit follows the intent! Grandpa Lu's voice rang in his heart, full of admiration.
Both sides had fallen into a strange balance, each continuously accumulating energy and preparing to stake everything on one strike.
Finally, once all the energy had been compressed to the limit, that originally enormous seal slowly shrank into an ancient seal only the size of a palm, entirely violet-gold in color.
The violet-gold seal no longer possessed the previous world-destroying aura. It floated silently there, like an exquisite work of art. Ninth Heavenly Venerate's pupils suddenly contracted as he instantly hurled out the man-sized black energy sphere in his hands! Xiao Yao also slowly pushed the violet-gold seal forward.
The palm-sized violet-gold seal silently cut through the void, passing directly through Ninth Heavenly Venerate's energy sphere technique without even stirring the faintest sound of wind along its path.
Yet that harmless-looking posture made Ninth Heavenly Venerate, who had already pushed Soul Burst Heavenly Star to its limit, suddenly feel his soul leave his body. Without a second thought, he turned and tried to retreat!
Too late!
A cruel curve rose at the corner of Xiao Yao's lips. He stretched out his hand and gently pushed forward.
That violet-gold Carefree Seal silently crossed the void. Without raising even the slightest breath of wind, it drifted lightly through the pitch-black energy sphere that contained all of Ninth Heavenly Venerate's power!
The next instant.
Time seemed to freeze.
Then...
"BOOM—!!!!!"
An uncontrollable, earth-shattering explosion that made the entire Jia Ma Empire tremble violently erupted above the heavens!
A destructive energy storm swept outward from the center of the explosion like world-ending tidal waves!
The empty space rippled violently like the surface of water!
In the distance, a mountain several thousand meters tall, shrouded in clouds year-round and piercing into the sky, was merely brushed by the edge of those ripples...
"Crack... boom!"
That enormous mountain was sliced cleanly in half as though by the hand of a god. Its upper half exploded with a deafening crash, turning into dust that filled the sky! The fractured surface was smooth as a mirror!
More than half of the Jia Ma Empire trembled beneath that terrifying energy storm!
