After finishing Chen Aiyang, watching him pass away peacefully, He Heng's mood was complex, or perhaps calm.

"To hear the Dao in the morning and die in the evening is enough!"

For someone seeking the Dao, to die after hearing it was a fitting end, without regret!

"If Chen Aiyang is like this, where does my path lie?" He Heng questioned himself, receiving no answer. His path was still long, and he would find its end in the endless journey of life ahead.

He walked back to his seat slowly and steadily, ignoring the awestruck gazes of others. He sat with unusual calm, like a deity overlooking the mortal world, or like the eternal Heavenly Dao, silently observing everything!

The Martial Dao Convention continued. After He Heng, fierce battles erupted one after another.

The Martial Dao Convention lasted for several days. During this time, Wang Chao, Ba Liming, God, and others also competed. The battles were extremely intense. Many world-renowned martial artists and grandmasters shed blood here, making it incredibly tragic.

However, this tragedy also stimulated people's potential. Many surviving martial artists made breakthroughs, and several Core Strength masters even emerged.

During this period, Wang Chao accomplished another great feat. Under the ambush of several Gun Kings, he forcefully killed a master from European Catholicism, serving as a warning to others.

Yan Yuanyi, Wu Yunlong, Liu Mubai, Chen Taiyi, Feng Cai, Yue Peng, and many other Core Strength masters engaged in successive duels, eliminating many contenders.

But for He Heng, this was not worth paying attention to. After his battle with Chen Aiyang, watching the opponent attain the Dao and die, his state of mind had entered a state of clarity, overlooking it all.

He had also made a few moves during this time, but his opponents were not impressive. Most could not withstand a single punch from him. Even two Core Strength masters lacked the brilliance of Chen Aiyang, making them barely worth mentioning.

For a time, he found the Martial Dao Convention dull, only waiting for the final duels to arrive.

Finally, on this day, the top ten masters were decided. Wang Chao's disciple ranked tenth, barely making the cut.

Then, after several more exchanges, several of the top ten powerhouses withdrew successively. It was Yan Yuanyi's turn. Her opponent was Feng Cai!

These two were possibly the strongest women in this world besides Tang Zichen. They unleashed their strongest sparks here, ultimately both breaking through and glimpsing the realm of Shattering the Void and Unbroken by Gods, though it was unknown if they could truly enter it.

He Heng was happy for them. This was not about personal matters or any grudges, but a mutual appreciation among those seeking the Dao.

Then, it was finally He Heng's turn. His opponent was... Wang Chao!

"It's finally their turn. The number one under heaven, they are both the most likely candidates!" Exclamations erupted from below as people discussed.

In recent days, with He Heng's successive victories, his formidable record had shown that this unknown young man was no less than, and perhaps even surpassed, Wang Chao and God, the two strongest figures in the world.

How this battle between him and Wang Chao would turn out had earth-shattering implications.

However, at this moment, the two involved were calmer than ever. He Heng and Wang Chao calmly scanned each other, the silence profound.

It was like the calm before a storm.

A moment later, Wang Chao spoke first, cupping his fist and saying, "Brother He, my last battle with you was unable to fully determine the victor, which has been a great regret in my life. Today, having this opportunity, I hope you will offer guidance."

"Not at all. Brother Wang's reputation has been thunderous these days, the number one under heaven," He Heng said with a slight smile, looking at Wang Chao.

"Haha, these are all empty titles. They are nothing compared to Brother He's consecutive victories over Old Ba and Chang Mei," Wang Chao laughed, his expression then turning solemn. With his hands behind his back, he said, "Brother He, please!"

"Since that is the case, let us fight!" He Heng's expression instantly turned stern, his gaze chilling, looking at Wang Chao, his pupils contracting. At this moment, his blood qi was churning, as if boiling, making a rushing sound. His entire body expanded.

Wang Chao's expression was also calm and solemn. He raised his hands, his gaze piercing, his entire body flushed red, his blood qi boiling to the extreme!

He struck first. His blood qi erupted with a bang, his internal organs roaring, instantly unleashing his ultimate combat power!

Peng! Peng! Peng!...

A series of sonic booms echoed through the air, like tiger roars and dragon cries, like thunder. Wang Chao moved with incredible speed, leaping to He Heng's side in an instant, his fist aimed at his chest.

He Heng's expression was calm, his gaze unfathomably deep. The moment Wang Chao reached him, he instantly raised his left hand, using the Innate Winding Silk Hand to entangle Wang Chao's wrist, immobilizing his right fist.

At the same time, he flicked his right arm, accompanied by cracking sounds, and with a powerful punch, struck Wang Chao's ribs. Wang Chao dodged with a violent twist, like a giant python rolling, his left hand like a venomous dragon, stabbing towards He Heng's right arm.

He Heng immediately abandoned his attack on Wang Chao's ribs. His left hand entangled Wang Chao's right arm, and he suddenly raised his right forearm, blocking Wang Chao's left arm.

Boom!

The collision of their arms was muffled and heavy. Both took a step back, leaving deep footprints on the ground. The concrete floor shattered.

Then they attacked again. With a swift step, their figures intertwined rapidly, their arms colliding repeatedly. Wang Chao suddenly braced himself with one hand, and his entire arm became engorged with blood. Tendons bulged, and the muscles in his hand and palm suddenly swelled, emitting a humming sound like a rotating steel ball.

His large, dark-green hand, shimmering with luster, opened, qi flowing, pressing down violently.

This was the strike of the "Heaven Overturning Seal"! After several rounds of exchange, Wang Chao finally unleashed his ultimate move!

He Heng's eyes instantly became sharp as lightning, piercing, his pupils clearly reflecting the appearance of Wang Chao's palm.

"Good!" From his throat, he uttered a syllable. He Heng flicked his fist, and with a sway, it surged forward like a tide, rushing straight up, as if the sun and moon were rotating. He directly met Wang Chao's Heaven Overturning Seal with his fist.

The Great Dao is Heartless, revolving the Sun and Moon! This was He Heng's Great Dao Heartless Fist!

As their fists met, both their bodies vibrated simultaneously. Their clothes were puffed out by the airflow, seemingly about to explode.

Wang Chao's gaze flickered. His steps shifted lightly, his body moved, and he retreated a full fifty meters, completely creating distance between himself and He Heng!

He Heng, at this moment, had shed all emotions belonging to a living being. His eyes were filled with absolute rationality, absolute coldness, entering a state of profound mystery, like the azure heavens overlooking the mortal world. He would not be swayed by anything.

"Again!" He Heng's figure enveloped Wang Chao like a shadow, swinging his fists, unleashing the Great Dao Formless Fist. An infinite momentum, like the opening of heaven and earth, crushed down on Wang Chao, heavy as mountains, like a vast ocean pouring down from the sky.

Wang Chao's eyes showed determination. Facing He Heng's fist technique, which seemed to come from the heavens like the Yellow River, surging and powerful to the extreme, he chose to confront it directly, stirring up his blood qi and unleashing his strongest power.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!...

In less than three seconds, He Heng and Wang Chao exchanged dozens of blows. The floor beneath their feet cracked, concrete splattering and turning into dust.

Roar!!

Wang Chao suddenly let out a roar, the intense sound echoing through the stadium, shattering pieces of glass.

He Heng's expression was extremely solemn, his eyes filled with profound depth. A silver-white light enveloped him, his blood and qi surging, muscles bulging, tearing his upper garment. Piece by piece, his muscles transformed into those of a giant. With a swift step, he lunged towards Wang Chao.

Wang Chao was no different, transforming into a giant-like figure. His overwhelming fist intent was incomparably vast, surging towards He Heng like a tidal wave covering the sky and earth.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Fist shadows intertwined, their auras incredibly fierce. Infinite ripples appeared in the air, like water waves. He Heng suddenly raised his leg, kicking towards Wang Chao's chest.

Wang Chao's eyes changed, and he dodged the kick by turning his body. His right hand suddenly transformed into a finger, pointing directly at He Heng's temple.

He Heng's right hand shot up fiercely, catching Wang Chao's arms. With a sudden swing, he made a choice and threw him flying. In mid-air, Wang Chao used the Thousand Jin Drop technique, stabilizing himself and flying towards He Heng. From a superior position, he threw a punch.

A smile suddenly appeared at the corner of He Heng's mouth. His blood and qi erupted to the extreme at this moment, his muscles expanding to their limit. He bent his knees sharply, then pushed off fiercely, leaping into the air and punching towards Wang Chao.

The two men's fists collided, and the air itself seemed to explode. Their fist momentum was immense, the collisions continuous. Under the effect of gravity, their figures were rapidly descending, but He Heng didn't stop. Punch after punch, he unleashed them like a raging storm. In just one second, he threw dozens of punches, far exceeding the limits of a human.

"Pfft..." Finally, Wang Chao's strength failed. He couldn't keep up with He Heng's punching speed and was sent flying by a straight punch from He Heng, spitting out several mouthfuls of blood before falling to the ground.

He Heng, at this moment, also finally returned to the ground, smashing a large pit.

"Wang Chao actually lost? How is that possible?" Many people exclaimed in shock. This was the astonishment of the layman.

But the true grandmasters of fist techniques looked on in disbelief, dumbfounded. This was because they had clearly seen the speed and power of He Heng's punches just now.

Dozens of punches in less than a second. This wasn't just a question of whether it could be done, but whether the body could withstand it.

One had to know that above the Core Strength realm, each punch gathered the full power of the body. Each strike was a full-power attack. To perform continuous, high-intensity punches in such a short period was simply something no one's body could endure.

This was also why Wang Chao could keep up at the beginning but couldn't later. It was because his muscles had already been damaged by the overwhelming force during the continuous barrage of punches. He was later unable to continue, and a moment of slowness led to his defeat.

Although Wang Chao's fist techniques were superb and his physical quality far surpassed others, he was still a normal person. Continuously throwing dozens of full-power strikes, his body naturally couldn't withstand it. But what kind of monster was this He Heng? Looking at him now, he seemed perfectly fine. The number and intensity of his punches should have been even greater than He Heng's, so why was he unharmed?

As for the questions of these martial arts masters, perhaps only God, Ba Liming, and Tang Zichen, who had fought He Heng before and knew of his monstrous physical quality, could answer. However, they had no desire to answer at this moment because they felt a cold gaze, devoid of any emotion, fixed upon them.

He Heng looked at Wang Chao, who was struggling to get up from the ground, coughing up blood. There was a huge fist imprint indented on his chest. He then looked up at God, Tang Zichen, and Ba Liming sitting at the head. His eyes became even more profound, an ultimate fighting spirit erupting. The battle with Wang Chao had sent his thoughts into a state of clarity, mysterious and profound.

However, this was still not enough! Because Wang Chao alone was not enough to provide him with sufficient pressure, sufficient stimulation, to achieve a breakthrough. Therefore, "You all come at me together!"
