Heavenly Road, Yellow Springs, The Wisdom of Battle
"Holy crap!"
Ling Xiao flew out like a shooting star, gliding through the air for hundreds of millions of miles before stopping his cultivation. A dent appeared in his chest, and he completely collapsed, covered with shocking cracks.
With just one punch, he suffered a severe injury, the worst he had ever sustained since the start of the competition.
"Ten strands of transcendent power! This guy seems honest, but I never expected him to be hiding such power!"
The power brought by the ten transcendent powers is far beyond what the nine powers can compare to.
Especially for exceptionally powerful individuals like divine generals, challenging opponents of higher levels becomes even more difficult.
"Admit defeat... You've come a long way, but everything has an end. Give up."
Divine General Pan Wu said calmly. His features were simple and unadorned, without any special features. He was just like one of the millions of ordinary creatures, inconspicuous and easily overlooked in a crowd.
But this very person is now displaying terrifying dominance.
"The word 'defeat' doesn't exist in my dictionary. I won't step down from the ring unless you defeat me."
Ling Xiao spoke in a serious tone, his words causing Divine General Pan Wu pause for a moment in surprise.
A dictionary? What kind of martial art is this?
"Your courage is commendable; I will personally send you down."
Pan Wu nodded slightly and launched another attack. All his Daoist magic condensed at his fingertips, and the River of Martial Arts surged beneath his feet.
This finger gesture was equally simple and unadorned, without any earth-shattering spectacle, but it gave Ling Xiao an even more terrifying feeling.
Because this finger strike is entirely composed of essence, gathering the Dao and Dharma at its fingertips, its destructive power is even more terrifying, far more lethal than the previous punch.
The path that Divine General Pan Wu cultivated was very simple. He spent his entire life honing his martial arts skills, condensing all his understanding of the Great Dao into simple offensive techniques such as fists, palms, feet, and fingers.
With his simple punches and kicks, he was virtually invincible.
"Finger techniques reveal the human heart, the soul, and even your life."
This finger, like the finger of heaven, the finger of the Great Dao, fell down, pointing directly at Ling Xiao's brow.
In an instant, Ling Xiao felt his soul tremble, completely locked in, as if his entire essence had been seen through, and this finger could fundamentally dismantle everything about him.
"Very good! I also have a finger technique, the Divine General Pan Wu. Please take a look."
Ling Xiao laughed loudly, and a yellow light burst forth from his body, frantically condensing in the void, finally forming a Yellow Spring that stretched from Tongtian to earth.
Within the rolling spring waters, countless hells float and sink.
"The Heavenly Path Yellow Springs Finger!"
All of this was accomplished in an instant. Ling Xiao pointed a finger, and the sound of ghosts wailing and wolves howling resounded in everyone's ears.
In that instant, everyone seemed to see heaven, and the gate to the Pure Land of Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss was opened.
The Yellow Springs Heavenly Path is one of the ultimate techniques in the Yellow Springs Evil Emperor True Scripture.
With supreme power, one can penetrate the Yellow Springs, open the path to heaven, and reach the true pinnacle. This is the essence and profound meaning of the Yellow Springs Finger Technique.
With a single finger, anything can be pierced and shattered.
Rumble!
The massive arena suddenly sank, pressed down by two intertwined, enormous forces, and continued to plummet downwards.
Ling Xiao was sent flying again, spitting out a mouthful of blood. In the clash of strength, he was at a disadvantage, as the difference in their cultivation levels was simply too great.
However, this time, Divine General Pan Wu no longer as relaxed as before. He retreated repeatedly and suffered a minor injury.
"Good lad, Ye Chen, is it? You're increasingly impressing me!"
Divine General Pan Wu's eyes shone with an astonishing light, and at this moment, he felt a surge of excitement, his desire to fight gradually rising.
Immediately, he moved his foot and stomped towards Ling Xiao, his huge footprints covering the sky and the vast will appearing like the Great Dao manifesting itself.
"World-Ending Black Flame!"
Ling Xiao's eyes flickered, and he suddenly spat out two streams of black flames, which lashed out and stained the golden footprints with the World-Ending Black Flame, making a sizzling sound as they slowly burned.
However, even so, it did not collapse.
Seeing this, he immediately summoned the Primordial Cauldron. The upgraded Primordial Cauldron was quite different from before, and Ling Xiao felt he could use it without any qualms.
The Primordial Cauldron of today is vastly different from what it once was, having become an unparalleled divine artifact approaching the Great Dao.
Once the precious cauldron appeared, it Qiankun the universe, allowing the giant footprint to fall and tread upon it, producing a resounding Daoist sound.
"Invincible defense..."
Ling Xiao, who was under the cauldron, was completely unharmed. Almost all of the power was blocked by the Primordial Cauldron, and he himself was not greatly affected.
"The magic weapon smells so good!"
Having fought this far, Ling Xiao had no choice but to unleash the Primordial Cauldron, experiencing the joy of using a magical weapon.
Fortunately, the Primordial Cauldron has been upgraded; otherwise, it would be completely unpresentable.
Other magical treasures he possessed included the Heavenly Lord Seal of Jun Xiaoyao, which he had seized, and the Great Thousand Tower of the Great Thousand Dao Child.
Even the ancient word "" (), which is the Hell Beast King's Dao, cannot be used.
He absolutely cannot use it until his identity is exposed, otherwise it will be immediately obvious to others.
"It's a pity there are limitations, otherwise the battle wouldn't have been so difficult."
Ling Xiao sighed inwardly, feeling a pang of regret.
If it were a life-or-death battle with no scruples, he was even 70% confident he could kill Divine General Pan Wu.
Knock knock knock!
Divine General Pan Wu's footprints were blocked, but he did not give up his attack, continuously unleashing palm strikes that made the Primordial Cauldron tremble.
Ling Xiao, inside the cauldron, felt as if an alarm clock had been shoved into his head, making his head feel like it was about to explode.
"This can't go on..."
He began to ponder, employing the wisdom of combat.
"This person is incredibly powerful in martial arts, but his weakness might lie in his spiritual power."
I've got it... I know what to do.
A smile curved Ling Xiao's lips.
At this moment, the outside world was in a Ling Xiao. Ling Xiao's behavior of hiding in the cauldron and refusing to come out had already angered everyone.
"Despicable and shameless! What kind of fighting style is this? A coward! As a divine general, you don't even have the courage to fight head-on?"
"Bah! They dare not confront us head-on, they're only concerned with hiding inside their magical artifacts."
"The gap is too obvious. He can't hide forever. The outcome will be decided very soon."
The onlookers around them cursed and talked incessantly. They wanted to see a fierce, head-on fight, not this clown show of hiding and dodging.
Finally, amidst a chorus of curses, the Primordial Cauldron suddenly took flight, Ling Xiao made a dazzling appearance, returning to everyone's sight.
At the same time, the moment the Primordial Cauldron opened, he activated his Immortal Soul, unleashing the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles, which, with the power of his divine soul, silently pierced the brow of Divine General Pan Wu.
"Ah!"
A sharp roar sounded, and Divine General Pan Wu, like a wounded beast, stared at Ling Xiao with bloodshot eyes.
The severe damage to his soul made it almost impossible for him to stand.
