The Water-Fire Grinding Disc Refines Void Return (Brothers, please keep reading! Give me some motivation!)

Inside the second level of the War God Hall.

Thoughts collided frantically within the mind of Lei Zhan.

To be honest, the difficulty of the trial arranged by the Yellow-Haired Great Bear for this second level of the War God Hall truly exceeded his expectations.

However, even if the true form of this Bald Elder is a genuine Void Return god-demon, the divine power of this god-demon is like water without a source, a tree without roots, Lei Zhan pondered inwardly.

If I want to defeat him, I don't need to do anything special; I simply need to exhaust his divine power. As long as I drag this out long enough, it will be enough to achieve final victory.

In combat, one must always use their own strengths to attack the enemy's fatal weaknesses.

Clearly, this sliver of divine power belonging to the Bald Elder could not be replenished once it left his true body; once consumed, it could not be regenerated.

Of course, this was the only way to defeat this Void Return god-demon in the trial of the second level of the War God Hall.

"Kill!" Lei Zhan's thoughts shifted.

Having unleashed Three Heads and Six Arms and the Law of Heaven and Earth, Lei Zhan's entire form stood five zhang tall. The three Cold Shadow Divine Spears in his hands were gripped by his six arms, and in an instant, they grew longer and larger along with his stature.

Boom!

Lei Zhan held the Cold Shadow Divine Spears, his body shifting, and suddenly a massive roar erupted as he lunged toward the Bald Elder in the blink of an eye.

"A spear user?" The Bald Elder looked at the long spears in Lei Zhan's hands, which were much taller than his own body, and raised an eyebrow, a hint of interest appearing in his eyes.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The spears were like dragons; the response to the Bald Elder was the spears thrust out by Lei Zhan.

The three spears arrived in an instant, soaring like flood dragons through the nine heavens, striking simultaneously.

"Slow! Too slow!" The Bald Elder walked leisurely with his hands behind his back, yet every step he took seemed to utilize an escape technique, allowing him to cross hundreds of zhang in an instant.

The Bald Elder was a Void Return god-demon on the verge of undergoing the Tribulation of the Celestial God; his strength was formidable.

Even though this was merely one ten-thousandth of a sliver of his divine power within this hazy space, his comprehension of the Dao and his keenness in combat remained undiminished.

Troublesome! Lei Zhan knew it would be difficult, but his expression remained calm. Such a powerful god-demon would naturally not be easy to defeat.

"Little fellow, if your speed remains this sluggish, you might not even be able to exhaust one ten-thousandth of this sliver of my divine power by the end," the Bald Elder said with a smile.

He understood Lei Zhan's intentions clearly. But as long as he kept moving, the divine power required to do so was negligible.

And if Lei Zhan wanted to exhaust this sliver of his divine power this way, it would not be so easy.

"Hmph!" Lei Zhan let out a cold snort.

"Azure Sea."

Splash!

Splash!

Within the previously silent, hazy space, the sound of surging waves suddenly erupted. In an instant, countless azure seawater emerged from the void, immediately condensing into towering, monstrous waves.

"Since you are fast, I will leave you nowhere to hide!"

Lei Zhan's gaze remained fixed on the Bald Elder, who moved with the leisure of a teleporting master. Countless waves swept forward continuously.

Over the past five years, although the Black Bead had been accumulating a certain energy, it had been unable to plunge Lei Zhan into a state similar to an epiphany again.

However, with his own natural talent and the assistance provided by the Black Bead, Lei Zhan had progressed deeper into the Way of the Azure Sea and the Way of Blazing Fire.

"Hmm. The power of this Dao is indeed much better than that shallow and crude spear technique from before." The Bald Elder nodded slightly, his body glowing faintly, standing as immovable as a reef in the ocean amidst the overwhelming waves.

Now that the space within a thousand zhang was filled with the Domain Realm of the Dao unleashed by Lei Zhan, no matter how profound his movement technique or how his form shifted, he was confined to this square inch of space.

It's working! Lei Zhan's eyes lit up. Since this Void Return god-demon would not dodge, he could unleash his methods to his heart's content.

"True Intent of Blazing Fire."

"True Intent of the Dao of the Spear."

Mysterious True Intents of the Dao descended upon this space one after another.

The raging fire was violent and scorching, burning wantonly, causing the very air to distort wherever it passed.

At the same time, the towering waves surged like ten thousand galloping horses, the crashing billows rolling forward with immense power.

This... Lei Zhan seemed to have captured something at this moment, yet he felt as if a thin layer of window paper stood between him and the truth.

"Water... Fire..."

Whoosh!

Suddenly.

Within his Purple Mansion dantian, the Black Bead, which had been accumulating a certain energy over the past five years and now seemed to shimmer with countless starlight, radiated light once again.

Immediately, countless cool sensations began to permeate his soul and true spirit, and the feeling of becoming extremely ethereal—a sensation Lei Zhan had not felt in five years—surfaced once more.

"Way of the Azure Sea. Way of Blazing Fire. Great Dao of the Spear."

Countless insights surged into his heart all at once under the influence of the Black Bead.

With the help of the Black Bead, he had fallen directly into an epiphany.

"This is... an epiphany!" Immortal Juhua stared wide-eyed at the handsome youth in the circular mirror, who seemed to have merged into one with the heavens, the earth, and space itself, his face brimming with smiles.

"This appears to be a secret technique? A grinding disc?" A hint of surprise flickered in the eyes of the Yellow-Haired Great Bear. He had his reasons for choosing this top-tier Void Return Nine Fangs of Gods and Devils as the trial for the second level of the War God Hall.

In his estimation, this battle should have been an arduous struggle, with both sides eventually engaging in a frantic, close-quarters melee until the Bald Elder's trace of divine power was exhausted, leading to Lei Zhan's victory.

But now...

"Such comprehension," the Yellow-Haired Great Bear mused to himself. "It seems the master's divine abilities may yet see the light of day again."

"Hahaha!" Lei Zhan laughed heartily.

"The secret technique I've been pondering all this time has finally come to fruition."

Before the words had even faded.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~~~

The Dao of the Azure Sea and the Way of Blazing Fire—two Daos that should have been diametrically opposed—began to intertwine and spiral in a strange and uncanny manner, resembling a grinding disc, methodical yet concealing endless killing intent.

Below was a vast, boundless azure sea, the water surging with each wave containing the power to overturn mountains and drain seas; above was a sea of raging flames, the firelight soaring into the sky and dyeing the entire space crimson.

In the space where the two met, cold light flickered; these were spear rays filled with the aura of slaughter, acting like sharp blades slicing through space.

"Water-Fire—Grinding Disc!" Lei Zhan pointed from afar.

Rumble~~~

Rumble~~~

The entire thousand-zhang space seemed to be stirred by an invisible, colossal force.

A massive phantom of a water-fire grinding disc slowly emerged and began to rotate. As the disc turned, it emitted a dull, heavy sound, each thud feeling like a hammer striking the heart.

At the edges of the disc, water and fire fused to form a powerful, shredding force, sweeping toward the Bald Elder, who was protected by divine power and surrounded by a faint glow.

"Hmm? A Dao that has reached the Domain Realm of the Dao? And the true intent of a Great Dao? This secret technique... it wants to grind away my divine power?" The Bald Elder furrowed his brows and took a step forward, instantly arriving before Lei Zhan.

This secret technique made him sense a hint of danger! Compared to enduring the technique, it was naturally simpler to directly eliminate the cultivator unleashing it.

"Want to fight me now?" Lei Zhan's handsome face remained calm, but the battle intent in his eyes surged like the sea of fire above his head.

"Die!"

Instantly, the Cold Shadow Divine Spear in his hand swept horizontally, the force seemingly capable of halting the flow of rivers as it smashed toward the Bald Elder.

Three long spears struck down simultaneously, and the Bald Elder, shrouded by the massive phantom of the water-fire grinding disc, no longer dodged.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The Bald Elder flicked his hands, batting away the sweeping spears as if they were shields.

"Even though this avatar of his is quite weak, he is stubbornly able to withstand my multiple methods. Even the Water-Fire Grinding Disc I just comprehended will take a long time to wear down this trace of his divine power."

Lei Zhan gritted his teeth. "If my Qi Refining Path had broken through to the Purple Mansion, controlling the Rahula Divine Needle to form this Water-Fire Grinding Disc wouldn't be this exhausting."

"Wait! The Rahula Divine Needle..."

Lei Zhan's mind stirred, and he immediately split his focus three ways.

On one hand, he controlled the rotation of the Water-Fire Grinding Disc, continuously crushing his opponent.

On the other, he maintained his Three Heads and Six Arms, his six arms waving frantically as the three Cold Shadow Divine Spears thrust, smashed, swept, and hacked.

In an instant, dense, black divine needles hovered around Lei Zhan. The needles were only an inch long, light flowing across their surfaces as they emitted ripples of energy.

"Go!"

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Invisible Divine Sense enveloped the needles, and all one hundred and twenty-eight Rahula Divine Needles tore through the sky at the same moment, piercing toward the Bald Elder.

"Hmm? He has more tricks... it's Divine Sense!" The Bald Elder's expression shifted slightly, no longer as relaxed as before.

The moment the phantom of the Water-Fire Grinding Disc formed, the endless shredding force of the water-fire spear rays began to continuously grind away the divine power shielding his body.

If he were in the outside world, he naturally wouldn't fear such a slow-to-form, rudimentary secret technique.

But here, he possessed only a trace of his most meager divine power, trapped within this space and unable to escape.
