Before Qi Tian descended into the world, the three of them had fought with all their might, but that was in the past; after acquiring their bloodline talents, the strength of the Gold Soul Clan members increased by another tier when transforming into their Golden Buddha Form.
Therefore, Qi Tian wanted to see what their current strength was, and incidentally, test what his own strength was as well.
Naturally, he would certainly not use his full power; since all three of them possessed nine Six-sided Golden Crystals within their dantian, it proved that this was a corresponding realm of strength.
Qi Tian decided to maintain that level of strength to fight them, based on the power level he had when he was gestating and also possessed nine Six-sided Golden Crystals within his Life Crystal Core.
"I will use energy at the same level as yours. You may attack me with all your might and let me see where your limits lie," Qi Tian said to the three after suppressing the energy in his body to the corresponding level.
Qi Jingshi was a bit stunned when he heard Qi Tian's words, as he had never once entertained the thought of attacking Qi Tian.
"You cannot hurt me. Even if I suppress my strength, my physical toughness is not something you can compare to. Attack without worry."
Qi Tianshou was a reckless man by nature and loved to fight; normally, he would not dare to offend Qi Tian, but now that Qi Tian had spoken, he naturally wanted to give it a try.
"Forgive me, Buddha Lord, then I shall strike," Qi Tianshou said.
Qi Tian looked at Qi Tianshou with a smile, nodding gently while also giving the three of them an encouraging look.
"Whoosh."
The moment Qi Tian nodded, Qi Tianshou erupted with terrifying speed. A sonic boom rang out instantly, and his figure vanished from where he stood, streaking across the sea like lightning and tearing through the surface to kick up waves dozens of meters high.
The next second, Qi Tian saw a fist arrive before him, striking fiercely toward his chest. However, after his consciousness expanded, the speed of that fist seemed to hit slow motion, becoming delayed.
With just a light flick of his hand, Qi Tianshou's fist, which contained terrifying force, was swept aside. At the same time, the force of Qi Tian's downward flick broke Qi Tianshou's balance, causing his entire attack trajectory to shift toward the sea.
In a single exchange, Qi Jingshi saw Qi Tianshou, who had been charging at Qi Tian with a punch, have his attack trajectory altered in an instant, sending him careening toward the sea to one side while maintaining his punching posture.
"Boom!"
A thunderous roar erupted, sounding like a high-powered shell exploding on the sea surface, kicking up a ring of waves a hundred meters high.
Following that, a new spray of water exploded at the center of the waves; it was Qi Tianshou bursting out from under the sea, his clothes remaining dry thanks to the timely release of his origin power to envelop him.
At this moment, Qi Tianshou hovered above the sea, recalling the feeling of being interrupted by Qi Tian during his attack, as if he had realized something.
Seeing that Qi Tianshou had already launched an attack and that it had been easily swept aside, Qi Jingshi's own desire to fight was ignited, and he immediately attacked Qi Tian as well.
Off to the side, Qi Shangye smiled, his consciousness shifting slightly as an invisible force covered his body.
As he lifted his right hand, the necklace hanging around his neck snapped, and eighteen sharp beast claws strung together by thin threads scattered, floating around him.
"Swish."
"Swish."
"Swish."
Under the control of Qi Shangye's consciousness, the eighteen beast claws shot out, turning into streaks of light invisible to the naked eye as they aimed straight for Qi Tian.
The flight speed of the beast claws was even faster than Qi Jingshi's initial attack, instantly crossing the space where Qi Tian stood. However, after the beast claws pierced through his chest, Qi Tian's originally hovering figure slowly dissipated.
Qi Tian could clearly see the beast claws being manipulated and shot at him; in his eyes, the speed was still slow, and with a mere shift of his consciousness, his body flashed away from the spot.
But just as his figure stabilized, Qi Jingshi seemed to have predicted it, sweeping a leg at the spot where Qi Tian had stopped, his speed as fast as a flash of lightning.
"Slap."
Qi Tian bent his arm to block Qi Jingshi's heavy, whip-like kick. Although it could not break his defense and he felt no pain, he had suppressed his strength, and the impact of the massive force still sent his entire body flying back dozens of meters.
After steadying his body, Qi Tian felt a piercing sound from behind; it was Qi Tianshou, who had seized the opportunity to attack again.
"Hah!"
Qi Tian's consciousness erupted, and a powerful, tangible wave of pressure expanded from his sea of consciousness. The sea surface, already rippling from the previous combat, now exploded as if hit by a tsunami.
Qi Tianshou, who was about to attack Qi Tian's back, felt the invisible impact and was blown away by the air wave, retreating over a hundred meters.
Following this, he saw Qi Tian flash and accelerate to his front, slamming a fist into his stomach. A sense of dangerous intent made him subconsciously activate his talent to transform into the Golden Buddha Form.
"Clang!"
After a thunderous sound like gold and iron colliding, Qi Tian discovered that the moment his fist hit Qi Tianshou, the other party had transformed into the Golden Buddha Form in an instant, flying backward under the massive force of the punch.
"Slap."
"Slap."
"Slap."
Like a stone skipping across water, Qi Tianshou tumbled seven or eight times across the sea, sent flying over ten kilometers away by Qi Tian's single punch.
Watching Qi Tianshou being sent flying so far away, Qi Tian was quite satisfied with his punch, but just as he was distracted, several more cold glints shot out from the seabed, with sharp beast claws attacking from multiple directions.
This time, Qi Shangye, who was controlling the beast claws, also transformed into the Golden Buddha Form. His consciousness strength was amplified, the flight speed of the beast claws increased significantly, and they were covered in golden energy, which also boosted their attack power considerably.
At the same time, a five-meter-tall golden figure flashed above Qi Tian; it was Qi Jingshi, who had also activated the Golden Buddha Form. At this moment, his will, strength, and consciousness had reached a strange state, just like Qi Tian before.
Qi Jingshi also felt the changes in his body. In an instant, his physical strength, spiritual power, and consciousness combined, triggering a resonance with the surrounding space.
"Swish."
A golden energy field rose from Qi Jingshi, covering a range of hundreds of meters. Terrifying origin power condensed on his raised right fist, the distorted air accompanied by a terrifying force that had yet to be unleashed.
"This is the moment!"
Qi Jingshi felt his essence, energy, and spirit reach their most perfect state. Under the control of the golden energy rising from within his body, the golden energy within the coverage area followed his fist as he swung it toward Qi Tian.
The origin power punch force, poured out in an instant, carried the golden energy and crushed toward Qi Tian like a shockwave. The sea surface beneath them instantly caved in, forming a massive semicircle.
"Boom!"
The seawater within a range of several kilometers was eroded by the golden energy, forming a vacuum state. Immediately following, a world-ending tsunami formed by the giant waves surged outward in a ring, the exploded water spray scattering into the sky like a rainstorm before pouring back down.
Even the Gold Soul Clan members far away on the continent could feel a trace of the energy fluctuations, and they all looked toward the direction of the oceanic battlefield.
