Heaven-Opening, a Familiar Pincer Attack

"It's not stuffed."

An elder from the Zhao Clan sat down next to him, his tone tinged with smugness.

"Although the effect appears to be Heaven Reversal Array, it is actually something else entirely."

"The Qin Clan has monsters, but my Zhao Clan has them too."

He paused, looking down at the panting figure below the stage.

"That is the monster belonging to my Zhao Clan — Tian Xuanzi, Zhao Lingyun."

No sooner had he finished speaking than someone nearby scoffed in Qi Ingestion.

"Come on, it's just an enhanced life-saving charm."

An elder of the Ye Clan spoke slowly, "My Ye Lingchuan is still the strongest. He was the first to subdue the monster from the Immortal Burial Coffin. How many people did that thing turn against? He was the only one who survived."

"Your guy is a piece of cake!"

The Ji Clan elder immediately objected, "No matter how powerful the Immortal Burial Coffin is, it's just an external force. My Ji Wuchen is the youngest prodigy in history to comprehend his Natal Dharma!"

"So what if you have Natal Dharma?"

A Chu Clan casually interjected, without even raising his eyelids. "Is he as powerful as my Chu Wujiu?"

"You have the nerve to say that? Your Chu Wujiu is the oldest one, isn't he?"

Another voice rang out; it was an elder of the Yan Clan, arms crossed, "My Yan Wujin has broken away from the Golden Crow and is now seeking another path of fusion."

"Clad in the Nine-Flame Dharma Robe, wielding the Dual Heaven and Earth Law —this is the true monster!"

"What's the use? It'll just get kicked to pieces anyway."

The smile on the Yan Clan elder's face froze.

A low chuckle immediately rippled through the crowd.

The elders from each family chimed in with their own opinions.

While boasting about their own Prodigy, they didn't forget to put others down, making the scene as lively as a vegetable market.

Only three families remained silent.

The Qin Clan and Li Clan families exchanged a glance.

'Isn't my Qin Wangchuan strong?'

'Strong, but my Li Qingluan is no weakling either.'

Of course.

Everything is understood without words.

The Zhou Clan elders didn't utter a single word from beginning to end, unable to get a word in edgewise.

As the battle progressed, more and more elders of the Imperial Clan quietly appeared on the viewing platform.

They stood with their hands behind their backs, their gazes fixed on the ferocious dragon shadow on the arena, each with a different expression.

There was appreciation, solemnity, apprehension, and complexity.

But more than anything, it was an indescribable emotion.

The younger generation is truly formidable.

On stage.

Qin Wangchuan looked at the group, now fully recovered, and slowly spoke:

"Warm-up complete, now it's time to get serious."

As soon as he finished speaking, the air seemed to grow even heavier.

Chu Wujiu nodded solemnly.

Yan Wujin took a deep breath, and the flames around him reignited.

The exposed "Heaven-Burning Sea-Boiling Wisdom King" has reformed, now smaller than before, but its power remains undiminished.

"Chu Wujiu, aren't you going to use your battle halberd?" Yan Wujin asked, turning his head to the side.

Chu Wujiu shook his head.

"It's not the right time yet."

Holding the Immortal Burial Coffin, Ye Lingchuan silently walked to Ji Wuchen's side.

Li Xuan, carrying that invisible and intangible sword, also came to the same front.

The three stood side by side.

Anyone could see that the one who caused Qin Wangchuan the most trouble just now was Ji Wuchen.

Although his Natal Dharma are still immature, he doesn't have much of an advantage in one-on-one combat.

However, the interference with the flow of time could cause substantial disruption to Qin Wangchuan.

At this moment, Ji Wuchen's threat even surpassed that of Yun Zexuan and Zhao Lingyun.

As for why Li Xuan also stood over --

"The side section is yours."

"I know," Ye Lingchuan nodded.

The side view is where Li Xuan's weakness lies.

As long as Ye Lingchuan, the strongest shield, can protect the flanks, Li Xuan will have room to maneuver.

Far away.

Yun Zexuan turned around and glanced at the person hiding behind him, then shook his head helplessly.

"It seems I have absolutely no trust in you."

Zhao Lingyun poked half her head out from behind.

"I don't care about all that! Have you come up with a winning strategy yet?"

"No."

Yun Zexuan spoke frankly, holding a compass in one hand and a fragment of a Law Artifact in the other, "There are only three Law Artifacts; using one allows you to foresee the next five breaths."

"We just used one; we'll have to wait for the crucial moment."

"Then you just wait!"

After Zhao Lingyun finished speaking, she shrank back.

"Now that you're ready--"

As Chu Wujiu spoke, he manipulated the Heaven and Earth Law to rush forward.

With each step the enormous Dharma Manifestation took, the arena trembled.

"Then let's start the war!"

"Yan Wujin!"

"No need to shout so loudly, I know!"

Two powerful Heaven and Earth Law descended upon them in an instant.

"Heaven-Burning Sea-Boiling Wisdom King" pounced from the right, flames soaring into the sky, his fists gathering again.

"Destiny Aspect of Killing and Judgment" pressed in from the left, its fighting spirit soaring to the heavens; the shadow of the halberd had not yet arrived, but the Killing Intent had already reached it.

One left and one right.

A pincer attack.

The Covering the Sky and Sun shadow completely blocked out the light.

The arena beneath their feet was like thin ice, ready to crumble at any moment.

A truly overwhelming force.

Qin Wangchuan stood still, making no attempt to dodge.

Yun Zexuan watched this scene from behind, his pupils suddenly shrinking.

He suddenly shouted:

"Beware of Chu Wujiu! He's a fake!"

However--

No.

Qin Wangchuan raised his hand.

His palms faced the two enormous creatures charging towards him.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, he spoke:

"The Heaven-Opening."

A crack appeared in mid-air.

The sky opened.

A dark crack appeared from the horizon and stretched across the sky to the other side.

The crack passed between the two celestial Heaven and Earth Law.

Its power, like the Heaven-Opening, spans the void.

Boom!

"The Heaven-Burning Sea-Boiling Wisdom King" was cut in half.

The upper half of the fiery Dharma Body separated from the lower half with a crash, and flames erupted wildly at the break, like an erupting volcano being brutally cut in half.

"Destiny Aspect of Killing and Judgment," he broke at the waist.

The body, formed from fighting spirit, broke apart. Before the shadow of the halberd had even dissipated, the hand holding the halberd, along with half of the body, fell to the ground.

Two deities of Heaven and Earth Law.

Two colossal figures that Covering the Sky and Sun.

Before this crack, they were all cut down simultaneously!

But Chu Wujiu had anticipated this!

Just as "Destiny Aspect of Killing and Judgment" was broken at the waist, his true form had already broken free from the shattered Dharma Manifestation.

He plummeted down from mid-air.

Like a hunting eagle, it swooped straight down on Qin Wangchuan.

His face beamed with a triumphant grin, a smile of smug satisfaction at his plan succeeding.

"I knew it was you!"

He laughed loudly, his eyes blazing with intense light—

This is the moment we've been waiting for!

We've been waiting for this moment: Qin Wangchuan will unleash the power of Heaven-Opening!

The crack had not yet healed; it stretched across the void, dark and deep.

Chu Wujiu's swooping figure left afterimages in the air. He faced the crack with his palm, spread his five fingers, and then clenched them tightly!

"Heaven-Opening!"

A loud shout.

The crack trembled violently.

The next moment.

The crack that Qin Wangchuan had summoned was slowly healing.

A halberd emerged from it.

The halberd was jet black, its blade gleaming with an eerie light, as if it had just returned from another world.

It fell into Chu Wujiu's hands.

Instantly, Chu Wujiu's aura surged.

He didn't stop.

He leaped down and slashed!

Before the halberd even arrived, the Heaven-Opening Intent had already filled the entire arena.

Qin Wangchuan was about to move--

His body froze.

Left side.

Li Xuan's Supernatural Power Sword was already three feet to his side.

The sword's edge is silent, formless, and intangible, yet it carries a chilling, deadly edge.

Right side.

Ye Lingchuan pushed the Immortal Burial Coffin horizontally with both hands, and the coffin, carrying immense force, slammed into him!

The air exploded in front of him, producing a low rumble.

The enormous coffin loomed overhead like a mountain; even before it arrived, the strong winds stung people's cheeks.

The Heaven-Opening War Halberd fell in front of them.

Both sides are locked.

There is no way to retreat.
