Sea Overturning Fist had been created after he gained an insight while guiding Ji Juechen, then delved deeper into researching it.
Unlike Star Breaker Claw, this punch did not rely on Soul Power or spiritual power, but on the fusion of a powerful physique and will.
In a sense, calling it Intentional Bombing Fist was more appropriate.
Soul Power was compressed and condensed within the fist, charged to the limit of what his body could withstand, with his will fused into it.
Once my fist struck, all things could be destroyed.
However, this punch had always possessed a flaw and had yet to be perfected.
While compressing Soul Power to charge it, the body had a limit to the energy it could bear. Nor was there any vessel that allowed him to compress it without limit. That was why he had not displayed it in the previous battle.
When Di Tian saw this, an unusual glint appeared in his vertical pupils.
At first, he had merely wanted to demonstrate it and provide better guidance. He had not expected this little fellow to possess both the strength and conviction to resist. This was good.
Thus, he put real force behind this claw.
Bang!
With a dull explosion, Di Tian's Dragon Claw collided with Jiang Heng's fist.
The next moment, Jiang Heng entered an exceedingly profound state.
Vaguely, the thing he had always failed to grasp quietly emerged before him.
At that moment, his mind was clearer than it had ever been.
He had never abandoned his cultivation and research into cultivation methods, but Soul Beasts were ultimately Soul Beasts. Even if they could take human form, their nature as Soul Beasts could never be changed.
The human body possessed acupoints throughout its body and twelve meridians... things Soul Beasts did not have.
In the past, he had focused too heavily on comparing human bodies with beast bodies. He had always wanted to incorporate every aspect of human Soul Master cultivation into Soul Beasts in pursuit of faster progress.
There was nothing inherently wrong with that, but he had quietly overlooked what Soul Beasts themselves should possess.
Bloodline, physique, Innate Soul Skills, and harmony with heaven and earth.
Within this profound state, many things he had previously been unable to understand gradually became clear. Human Soul Master research quietly merged with the instincts of his own Soul Beast bloodline.
Without realizing it, a month passed just like that.
Jiang Heng remained in enlightenment for an entire month.
The next moment, he abruptly opened his eyes, and a powerful aura erupted from within him.
"This punch can attack and defend. It uses bloodline and physique as its foundation, Innate Soul Skills as its driving force, and incorporates my own will. With the fusion of Soul Power and spiritual power, it has truly become Intentional Bombing Fist!"
"And the vessel is the Soul Beast's own skeleton!"
As Jiang Heng spoke in a deep voice, the power within him surged madly, continuously compressing into his right hand. Golden radiance blossomed, faintly condensing into the phantom of a Golden Sacred Dragon King's head.
Roar!
As his fist shot forth, accompanied by a dragon's roar and infused with spiritual power and the majesty of the Dragon Clan bloodline, it hurtled straight toward Di Tian, who had been guarding him nearby.
"Good!"
Seeing Jiang Heng throw a punch at him the instant he opened his eyes, Di Tian was not angered. Instead, his gaze was full of approval.
From Sheng Long's earlier battle against Xiong Jun, Di Tian had gained insight and created his own unique Soul Skill, Dragon God Rage.
Yet Di Tian knew very well that he had only mastered a portion of it. He relied on his formidable cultivation and spiritual power.
But this little fellow before him had merely received one claw strike from him, without even a word of guidance, and had already fused his insights into something that belonged to himself.
What a monster!
The next moment, their fists collided once more.
Di Tian's control over his own strength was extremely precise. He was confident that he could receive Sheng Long's punch without harming him in the slightest.
But the instant they collided, his expression changed drastically.
At the moment their fists met, at least thirty percent of his power was actually devoured by his opponent. That thirty percent was then absorbed into the dragon-head phantom on the other party's fist.
That was not all. The next moment, a berserk force erupted from Jiang Heng's body, like floodwaters bursting through a dam, unstoppable.
"Charging through compression, then instant release?"
Though shocked, Di Tian hurriedly activated his Soul Core and drew upon his power once again.
This time, he had no choice but to get serious.
Sheng Long's punch had already reached the point where it could injure him.
Judging purely by its explosive force, it rivaled Xiong Jun's Sky-Rending Claw. In other aspects, it was slightly weaker.
Bang!
Another dull boom rang out. Di Tian took half a step back before suppressing the eruption of all that power.
A single punch unleashed two entirely different bursts of power. It also possessed formidable defense and could absorb an opponent's Soul Power. Even Di Tian had to admit that the punch Sheng Long had comprehended was exceedingly domineering.
"Thank you for your guidance, Beast God!"
Only after Jiang Heng steadied his thoughts did he respectfully thank Di Tian.
He casually took a Milk Bottle from his Soul Tool to restore his Soul Power. That punch had consumed a full eighty percent of the Soul Power within his body.
It was domineering, but its consumption was immense as well.
"This was your own realization, not my achievement."
"I called you here because there are other things I wish to teach you."
Only after seeing Jiang Heng recover from that state of enlightenment did Di Tian reveal his true purpose.
Next, Di Tian began to teach in earnest.
Whether it was his understanding and use of strength, or certain techniques unique to the Dragon Clan, he explained every detail thoroughly to Jiang Heng.
Toward the end, he even personally demonstrated Dragon God Claw, allowing Jiang Heng to gain an initial understanding of it. Once his strength was sufficient, Di Tian would teach him this divine technique personally passed down by the Dragon God.
This was something Jiang Heng had never expected.
Everything he had done was merely to make use of Di Tian and the Soul Beast clan, largely for self-preservation and to enhance his own strength and foundation.
Di Tian's wholehearted instruction left him feeling somewhat embarrassed for a time.
What a pity that you are too loyal to the Silver Dragon King!
Looking at Di Tian before him, Jiang Heng silently murmured to himself.
He was not completely cold-blooded or heartless. Everything he did was simply for the sake of survival.
If he wanted to set his sights on the Silver Dragon King, he was destined to become Di Tian's enemy.
There was no avoiding such a thing.
Jiang Heng could only tell himself that when he killed Di Tian in the future, he would make it swift and let him go peacefully.
"Lord Beast God, I will remember your guidance."
"I will certainly not disappoint your expectations!"
After learning all the guidance and inheritances, Jiang Heng rose to express his gratitude once more, preparing to leave.
This journey to the Star Dou Great Forest had delayed him for too long. He needed to return as quickly as possible, lest something unexpected happen to his plans.
"Go."
"Once your strength improves further, come find me again. I will give you a surprise."
Di Tian looked at Jiang Heng, growing more satisfied the longer he looked.
He definitely needed to arrange a bloodline evolution for him. Beyond that, the area where he could still help was Jiang Heng's understanding of spiritual power.
From their previous battle, he could clearly sense that Jiang Heng's spiritual power was extremely formidable. It had already surpassed King of Ten Thousand Monsters and was second only to his own.
Clearly, he had encountered some sort of opportunity himself.
Di Tian had no intention of probing further. He only wanted Sheng Long to make better use of his power.
As for spiritual power, he truly was not particularly skilled in it.
No matter. It was enough that someone among the Fierce Beasts excelled at it.
"Evil Emperor... it has been a long time since I last fought him!"
As Di Tian spoke softly, his gaze turned toward the distant sky, toward the Evil Eye Forest within the Sun Moon Empire.
