Space Collapse!

In the center of the violent turbulence formed by the Elemental Tide, Tang San's figure wove through the chaos, resisting the onslaught.

His Blue Silver Grass wrapped tightly around his body for protection, while his Eight Spider Lances constantly pierced and disrupted the incoming elemental currents. Most striking of all was the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand, which he swung with ever-increasing speed.

The Elemental Tide released by Gu Yena was a destructive vortex formed by the high-speed collision and rotation of various elemental attributes, its interior filled with chaotic tearing forces and turbulent energy.

Yet, Tang San did not meet this extreme chaos with brute force. Instead, he pushed his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track footwork to its limit, his form becoming like willow catkins in the wind.

He skillfully utilized these chaotic streamlines to move and dissipate the incoming force.

The Clear Sky Hammer in his hand swung in an arcane trajectory—it was the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique passed down by the Clear Sky Sect.

Borrowing force to strike with force, generating power through power! He channeled a portion of the violent energy from the Elemental Tide through the Clear Sky Hammer, stacking it layer by layer to make it his own.

The elemental vortex that had originally trapped him was now faintly being stirred by him, showing signs of instability.

"Haa!"

Tang San let out a low roar. A flash of purple light crossed his eyes as he spotted a weak node within the Elemental Tide and brought the Clear Sky Hammer, now charged with the power of dozens of swings, crashing down!

"Boom!"

With a dull, thunderous roar, the colorful, destruction-filled Elemental Tide vortex was forcibly smashed open by that single strike. The elemental energy found a vent and spilled out frantically.

The stability of the entire tide was shattered, and it began to collapse rapidly.

A trace of imperceptible surprise flickered in Gu Yena's purple eyes.

Although she had only used power at the level of a Spirit King, this Elemental Tide was a sophisticated application of her element control, far exceeding the complexity and power of her peers.

Although I only used the power of a Spirit King... for him to be able to break it with his own strength as a Spirit Ancestor... he really is impressive!

Gu Yena evaluated him silently, giving high recognition to Tang San's adaptability and combat talent.

This had nothing to do with their positions; it was purely respect for the strength of a powerhouse.

Yang Teng also sighed.

"As expected of the protagonist Tang San. If you hadn't met me, there truly would be no one who could subdue you, kid!"

Tang San, having broken through the Elemental Tide, did not pause for a second. Utilizing the recoil force, he pushed his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track footwork to the limit, his figure turning into a series of blurred afterimages.

In an instant, he appeared beside Xiao Wu, who was being pushed into a precarious situation by Yang Teng's "Space Strangling."

"Xiao Wu!"

At this moment, Xiao Wu's pink figure was flickering rapidly at the edge of the arena, each teleportation narrowly avoiding the space cracks appearing out of thin air.

However, the frequent use of her third spirit skill had left her face pale, her spirit power heavily depleted, and her movements visibly sluggish.

A new Space Strangling was forming right beside her!

Tang San flipped his left wrist, and several streaks of black light, so fine they were almost invisible, shot out!

These were not attacks condensed from spirit power, but fine needles forged from refined steel!

They shot with pinpoint accuracy toward the node where the Space Strangling was forming!

"Ding, ding, ding..."

A dense, crisp sound rang out.

Yang Teng narrowed his eyes slightly. Looking at the unremarkable needles that had fallen to the ground, a look of genuine seriousness appeared on his face for the first time.

"Bat Wing Reincarnation..."

He whispered the name, a playful curve touching the corner of his mouth.

"Heh, Tang Sect hidden weapon technique... so you've finally used it?"

This was one of the ultimate techniques Tang San had used in the original work to turn the tide of battle and defeat the Golden Generation of Spirit Hall.

He hadn't expected it to be used against him in this timeline.

The battle in the sky was equally intense, reaching a fever pitch!

"Nether White Tiger Break!"

The massive Nether White Tiger, formed by the fusion of Dai Mubai and Zhuqing's power and amplified in every aspect by Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, possessed heaven-shaking might!

It let out a deafening tiger roar, its massive body carrying destructive power as it lunged fiercely at the Ice Phoenix it was grappling with.

"Frost Seals Heaven and Earth!"

Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu were of one mind. The Ice Phoenix let out a clear cry and spread its wings wide. Extreme cold erupted, attempting to freeze space and delay the Nether White Tiger's offensive.

However, under the terrifying amplification of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, the Nether White Tiger's power, speed, and defense had reached an astonishing height!

Though the Ice Phoenix's cold was strong, it could hardly restrain the beast completely!

"Roar!"

The Nether White Tiger swiped a claw, slamming it fiercely into the frost shield condensed by the Ice Phoenix!

"Crack!"

The ice shield shattered! The Ice Phoenix let out a mournful cry as its body was sent plummeting by the blow, crashing heavily into the arena floor and sending ice crystals scattering everywhere.

Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu groaned simultaneously, their faces turning deathly pale. Their spirit power fluctuated violently and chaotically, clearly having suffered significant backlash.

"Fatty! Protect Rongrong and Oscar!"

Dai Mubai's voice boomed from the mouth of the Nether White Tiger.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Phoenix Sky-Screaming Strike!"

Ma Hongjun was bathed in flames, the scorching heat forming a shockwave that forcibly pushed back Shui Yue'er and another Tianshui member who were attempting to seize the opportunity to attack Ning Rongrong and Oscar.

Although he felt stifled by the Ice Phoenix's elemental suppression, his determination to protect the support members allowed him to erupt with even greater power.

With the ground battle turning unfavorable, Gu Yena's eyes turned cold.

No longer content with merely trapping Tang San, she lifted a slender hand and pointed toward the rear of the Shrek formation!

In an instant, the temperature in the sky plummeted!

Countless sharp ice cones condensed out of thin air, each one gleaming with a frigid, chilling light, raining down upon the Shrek team like a torrential storm!

The coverage was so vast and the density so great that it was almost like a hailstorm falling from the heavens!

Even the airflow above Spirit Hall was affected, surging and churning!

In the VIP seats, Pope Bibi Dong narrowed her phoenix eyes and whispered to herself:

"I underestimated this girl. I thought that although Yang Teng's cultivation might not match Gu Yena's, their overall strength should be comparable."

"It seems now that Gu Yena's control over elements is even superior!"

The power and precision of the ice-cone storm she summoned so casually exceeded the scope of an ordinary Soul King, causing even her to feel a trace of alarm.

"San! Use the Seven-in-One Fusion Skill! Otherwise, it will be too late!"

Dai Mubai's anxious voice came through the Nether White Tiger.

He, too, saw Gu Yena's terrifying area-of-effect attack, the defeat of Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu, and the unfavorable situation where Yang Teng remained difficult to take down quickly.

Tang San gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with unwillingness.

He had wanted to defeat Yang Teng head-on using his own strength! But Yang Teng's elusive space abilities were far too troublesome.

Whether it was his hidden weapon Bat Wing Reincarnation or the fierce onslaught of the Clear Sky Hammer, it was difficult to strike him accurately; he would often dodge at the last moment by a hair's breadth using spatial movement.

With Gu Yena's threat growing and her area-of-effect attack about to descend, their own Nether White Tiger, while suppressing the Ice Phoenix, was consuming massive amounts of energy, and Ning Rongrong and Oscar needed protection...

"Everyone! Seven-in-One!"

Tang San finally stopped hesitating and roared hoarsely.

This was their final trump card and the only chance to turn the tide of the battle!

"Don't even think about it!"

Shui Bing'er endured the excruciating pain of soul power backlash and shouted sharply, looking toward Yang Teng.

"Yang Teng! Stop them!"

If the Shrek Seven Devils succeeded in unleashing the Seven-in-One Fusion Skill that had defeated the Spirit Hall team, the consequences would be unthinkable!

However, facing Shui Bing'er's urgent cry, Yang Teng showed no anxiety. Instead, a smile of cold mockery, as if he had expected this all along, appeared on his face.

He watched as the Shrek Seven Devils began to converge rapidly toward Tang San to perform the fusion skill, forming a faint straight line, and the curve of his lips widened.

"I was... waiting for you to line up."

In an instant, alarm bells rang in Tang San's heart, making the hair on his body stand on end! He shouted at the top of his lungs, almost instinctively:

"Scatter! Quickly, scatter!!!"

Beneath Yang Teng's feet, a black ten-thousand-year soul ring slowly rose, shining brilliantly!

This was his fourth soul skill, one he had never used in the tournament, and no one had noticed that this skill had never been revealed.

An indescribable, terrifying fluctuation spread out from him as the center.

Yang Teng raised his hand toward the straight line where the Shrek Seven Devils were gathering and slowly clenched his five fingers.

His voice was calm, yet it rang clearly in everyone's ears like the declaration of a grim reaper:

"Fourth Soul Skill!"

"Space Collapse!"
