Emperor Seal Technique

In an instant, with the activation of the final stage of the Heavenly Fire Three Mysterious Transformations, Xiao Jinchen's aura surged to the level of a Limit Douluo.

It was not just his aura that skyrocketed; Xiao Jinchen's appearance underwent changes as well. His once pitch-black hair turned snow-white, and a chilling frost began to emanate from his pale, ghostly eyes.

Xiao Jinchen slowly clenched his fist, feeling the explosive power surging within his body, and couldn't help but grin. He then turned his gaze toward Xuan Zi, whose face looked as unsightly as if he had swallowed excrement, and chuckled, "Old dog Xuan Zi, you were the one shouting about killing me just a moment ago, weren't you?"

Upon hearing this, the ferocious expression on Xuan Zi's Taotie beast head froze instantly. Even his breathing hitched, and a chill shot straight to his crown.

"Kid, I'll admit defeat this time. This grudge! Shrek will remember it!" Xuan Zi spat out a harsh threat and suddenly bolted toward the distance. Even at this point, he still had no intention of handing over the Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone.

"Hmph!" Xiao Jinchen snorted coldly at the direction in which Xuan Zi was fleeing and said, "Did I say you could leave?"

Before the words had even faded, Xiao Jinchen reached back and drew the Heavy Profound Ruler from his back.

Xiao Jinchen poured the Emperor Flame directly into the Heavy Profound Ruler, then swung the weapon, now wreathed in terrifying heat, fiercely toward the direction of Xuan Zi's escape.

"Boom!"

The Heavy Profound Ruler, carrying a terrifyingly high temperature, slammed heavily into Xuan Zi's back.

Xuan Zi hastily mobilized the spirit power within his body to defend, but it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot; his defense was shattered instantly. The immense impact sent him flying, and he crashed heavily onto the ground like a kite with a broken string, creating a deep crater.

Amidst the swirling dust, Xuan Zi lay on the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood. The light of his Taotie spirit had dimmed significantly, leaving him looking quite wretched.

"Run? Why aren't you running anymore?" Xiao Jinchen landed slowly in front of Xuan Zi and spoke in a mocking tone.

"Kid, leave a path for others to retreat, so we can meet again in the future." Xuan Zi climbed up from the crater, trembling.

"It seems you treated everything I said as wind passing by your ears." Xiao Jinchen smiled slightly, though a trace of coldness emerged from behind that smile.

"Kid, the power you are using now cannot last, can it? It has a time limit after all. Once the time is up, will you still be able to be this arrogant?" Xuan Zi bluffed, "If you let me go now, the grievances between us can be wiped clean."

"Oh? Is that so?" Before Xiao Jinchen finished speaking, his figure transformed into a streak of blue lightning, and a fist wrapped in fierce wind slammed heavily into Xuan Zi's face.

"Bang!"

Accompanied by a dull thud exploding against Xuan Zi's face, he was sent flying into the air. Teeth mixed with blood sprayed out, half of his face swelled up instantly, and he crashed heavily to the ground once more, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Xiao Jinchen did not give Xuan Zi any chance to catch his breath. His figure surged forward like lightning, his fists raining down like a torrential storm.

Every punch carried a sharp, fierce wind, slamming ruthlessly into Xuan Zi's face as the dull sounds of impact rang out in rapid succession.

Xiao Jinchen didn't strike anywhere else; he focused entirely on beating Xuan Zi's face.

"Bang!"

After being struck in the face by Xiao Jinchen once more, Xuan Zi suddenly erupted and roared, "Ninth Spirit Skill, Devour..."

"I'll let you devour!"

Before Xuan Zi could finish his sentence, Xiao Jinchen slammed another punch into his face.

"Still want to use a spirit skill? My left fist deals high damage, my right fist deals even higher damage—what are you going to use to fight me?"

Dozens more punches rained down.

Finally, as Xiao Jinchen landed a final heavy blow on his temple, Xuan Zi's body stiffened violently before going completely limp, collapsing into a dead faint without a hint of movement.

"Damn, he's tough as hell," Xiao Jinchen cursed, kicking the unconscious Xuan Zi.

"Whew."

Xiao Jinchen let out a long breath and deactivated the amplification of the Heavenly Fire Three Mysterious Transformations. Although the technique allowed him to burst with power in a short time, maintaining it for long periods still had its side effects.

Following this, Xiao Jinchen searched Xuan Zi's body and removed his storage spirit tool.

Xiao Jinchen probed his spiritual power into the storage tool. Chicken leg? Chicken leg? Still a chicken leg? After searching for a moment, Xiao Jinchen couldn't help but frown and curse, "It's all damn chicken legs! Where is the spirit bone?"

Xiao Jinchen searched Xuan Zi's body again and pulled out another storage spirit tool. This time, he found the Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone he was looking for inside, and he promptly tucked the spirit tool into his Storage Ring.

"I remember Shrek's Mu En should have a Dragon Pill," Xiao Jinchen thought to himself, shifting his gaze toward the unconscious Xuan Zi.

"Shrek should be very willing to trade that Dragon Pill to get you back." A cold sneer curled the corner of Xiao Jinchen's mouth. He raised a hand, and the spirit power within Xuan Zi was completely sealed, along with his five senses.

Immediately after, he brought Xuan Zi directly into the Exotic Flame Space. If he didn't seal his senses, this guy would likely cause quite a stir inside.

Now, Xuan Zi could see nothing, hear nothing, and make no sound. He would let him starve in the Exotic Flame Space for a few days; it wouldn't be too late to trade him for Mu En's Dragon Pill when he went to Shrek later.

After settling Xuan Zi, Xiao Jinchen slowly walked to the side of Xiao Yan's stone statue.

Around the statue, numerous light orbs danced, looking incredibly brilliant.

"Since I'm already here, I might as well pick another battle skill," Xiao Jinchen muttered, looking at the light orbs before him.

His gaze swept over the many orbs, and soon, Xiao Jinchen locked onto one.

Xiao Jinchen stared at that orb, his mind stirred, and seven-colored spirit power surged rapidly from his palm as he reached out and grabbed it.

As his palm grasped the orb, a stream of information flooded into his mind.

Emperor Seal Technique: Earth-tier High-grade. An ancient clan secret technique, the "Emperor Seal Technique," rumored to have been created by an ancient Dou Di powerhouse. It consists of five forms: Mountain Opening Seal, Sea Turning Seal, Earth Covering Seal, Heaven Annihilating Seal, and Ancient Emperor Seal. The seals are interconnected; once all five are mastered, they possess the power to overturn rivers and seas, to swallow the heavens and devour the earth! However, each level requires a breakthrough in cultivation; that is to say, to practice the Ancient Emperor Seal, one must at least reach the Dou Sheng level. The combined power of the five seals approaches that of a Heaven-tier battle skill!

"Holy crap! Emperor Seal Technique? It's actually the Emperor Seal Technique!" Xiao Jinchen felt a surge of joy in his heart.

In the original work, ever since Xiao Yan mastered the Mountain Opening Seal and severely injured Yun Shan, he had used the Emperor Seal Technique to dominate the Central Plains. The combination of three seals could break any Dou Zong technique, four seals could contend with a five-star Dou Zun, and the fusion of all five could shake a Dou Sheng with its palm force. The five-colored giant seal crushed all manner of powerful enemies, making it his most formidable trump card.

Now that he had obtained the Emperor Seal Technique, he could fight even if a God-level powerhouse appeared.
