Seventy-Two Transformations, Earth Escape Technique!

The moment Yun Shan appeared, all the floating rocks around him exploded, a clear testament to the sheer strength of his power.

At that moment, Yun Shan stood barefoot in the air, his expression radiant. His entire state was completely different from before.

He had entered the ranks of the Dou Zong. His arrogance had reached its peak!

"Is this the power of a Dou Zong?" Yun Shan raised his hand, sensing this strength. It felt as though he possessed inexhaustible power capable of destroying everything.

The Misty Cloud Sect disciples all looked up at the sky. "The former Sect Master has broken through to Dou Zong? The Misty Cloud Sect is saved now."

"Yeah, Xiao Tian was far too reckless. He actually killed Elder Yun Leng!"

Yun Yun's delicate brows furrowed slightly as she watched the scene, her feelings a complicated mess.

Gu He supported the injured Yun Yun. "Let's head elsewhere first!"

"A great battle is about to break out here."

After Xiao Tian's rampage through the Misty Cloud Sect had destroyed more than half of it, there was no longer any chance of peacefully settling matters.

As a Dou Wang and an honorary elder of the Misty Cloud Sect, Gu He had no need to fight Xiao Tian to the death. He was merely worried about Yun Yun, whose condition did not look good.

Yun Yun had no choice but to nod. The two flew elsewhere, while all the Misty Cloud Sect disciples fled toward safety under Nalan Yanran's command.

After all, when immortals fought, mortals suffered! People as weak as them were better off staying far away.

The only thing those disciples could do was activate the sect-protecting formation. But that formation could not stop Xiao Tian at all.

Seeing that Yun Leng had already been smashed into dust, Yun Shan narrowed his eyes, fury showing in them. "Xiao Tian, you killed the Misty Cloud Sect's Grand Elder. You are prepared to leave your life here, then."

"Whatever happens today, this old man will not let you leave safely!"

Xiao Tian smiled faintly. "What a joke. I can come to the Misty Cloud Sect whenever I want, and leave whenever I want."

"You can't stop me!"

With that, Xiao Tian swung his cudgel directly at him. "So what if you've broken through to Dou Zong?"

Xiao Tian shot into the air like lightning, the Golden Cudgel in his hand whirling with overwhelming force. Wherever it passed, the air was torn apart, producing booming blasts.

Yun Shan raised a hand, intending to catch it, but the next instant, his entire body was sent flying. With a thunderous crash, he slammed into a floating rock.

After the smoke dispersed, Yun Shan was utterly bewildered. His Dou Zong power should have been enough to block that cudgel. Why did it feel like Mount Tai was crushing down on him the instant they made contact?

That weapon is mine!

Jia Xingtian's eyes nearly popped out of his head as he stammered, "H-How is this possible?" He had thought Yun Shan's breakthrough to Dou Zong would definitely suppress Xiao Tian. Why was it still ineffective against him?!

Xiao Tian was truly terrifying. The imperial family absolutely could not offend the Xiao Clan in the future.

Jia Xingtian was like an old fox. In any case, he would not make a move. He would side with whoever was stronger. Of course, he was also very confident. Even if Xiao Tian truly threatened the imperial family, though he might not be able to defeat him, he would still make him pay dearly.

Fa Ma was even more dumbfounded. "He's actually stronger than me!"

Yun Shan flashed out once more, pain shooting through his arm in waves. If he had not used the force of the blow to send himself flying, he would have suffered badly trying to take it head-on.

After their repeated exchanges, he understood that the cudgel in Xiao Tian's hand was no ordinary weapon. He absolutely could not let it hit him.

Even with his Dou Zong strength, he had to remain cautious.

A smile curled across Xiao Tian's lips. You dared take the Ruyi Golden Cudgel head-on? Behaving yourself now, aren't you?

Yun Shan stepped through the void. In an instant, azure Dou Qi wrapped around his palm as he struck toward Xiao Tian!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The two clashed!

With a single cudgel strike, Yun Shan was sent flying.

Two beams of light collided in the air, destroying everything in their path.

The surrounding floating mountains all collapsed!

Holding the Golden Cudgel, Xiao Tian instantly enlarged it and thrust it straight at Yun Shan. The latter had no time to react; a wind-attributed Dou Qi shield appeared in his hand as he resisted with all his strength!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The Golden Cudgel drove Yun Shan straight through three enormous floating mountains. By then, the Golden Cudgel had grown several thousand meters long!

Everyone who witnessed this was stunned speechless, especially Xiao Yan. He had never imagined that his older brother could be this terrifying.

With such power, even a Dou Zong was nothing to fear.

No wonder his older brother had told him before that he did not fear the Misty Cloud Sect in the slightest. This was his confidence.

Medicine Elder's eyes had widened as well. He had traveled the Dou Qi Continent for a long time and could be said to have seen much of the world.

Yet he had never seen the armor on Xiao Tian's body or the weapon in his hand. They did not seem like things that could exist on the Dou Qi Continent.

Or perhaps there were still things he had never encountered. After all, the Dou Qi Continent was so vast that he could not possibly have seen everything.

He was truly curious.

Even Venerable Yao was muttering to himself and shaking his head.

At that moment.

A thunderous boom rang out.

Immediately afterward, Yun Shan was driven into the ground by the Golden Cudgel, blasting out a massive crater!

Suddenly, dust and smoke filled the air, making it impossible to see anything. Xiao Tian raised a hand and peered into it, golden light shining from his eyes. He used his Fiery Eyes, Golden Pupils to investigate and discovered that Yun Shan had entered the ground!

With a thought, Xiao Tian recalled the Golden Cudgel and shrank it back to a suitable size. Then he dove straight down, plunging headfirst into the earth.

This was one of the divine abilities within the Seventy-Two Transformations: the Earth Escape Technique, which allowed him to travel through soil.

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Tian vanished.

The sounds of battle had been ringing through the air just moments ago, but now everything suddenly returned to silence. This terrified everyone, and they could not help swallowing.

What was going on? Xiao Tian had directly escaped into the earth?

Jia Xingtian narrowed his eyes. "What kind of Dou Technique is this? Why have I never heard of it?"

"Fa Ma, do you know?"

Fa Ma beside him was equally bewildered and shocked. He blankly shook his head. "I have lived for so long, yet I have never seen anything like it. It is truly remarkable."

Bang!

In an instant, the ground exploded, and Yun Shan was sent flying. His face was filled with shock. What was wrong with this kid? How could he do everything, from soaring through the skies to burrowing through the earth?

Underground, he had been tormented in every way and could not even find Xiao Tian. More importantly, no matter how he fled, he could not outrun him.

Yun Shan immediately swallowed several restorative pills. If he continued tangling with this brat, things would become troublesome.

With a flicker, he rose to an even greater height. The instant Xiao Tian emerged from underground, Yun Shan's eyes sharpened. "Now!"

Great Wind Hand Seal!

Yun Shan formed seals with both hands. A cyan palm-shaped sigil suddenly appeared before him. Then he thrust out a palm. The moment it passed through the sigil, an energy hand seal several yards tall shot forth!

Xiao Tian looked up to see a terrifying giant palm descending upon him, carrying wave after wave of pressure!

Xiao Tian raised the Ruyi Golden Cudgel in his hand. In an instant, it enlarged and thrust toward that palm!

Boom!

Even after Yun Shan used his Great Wind Hand Seal, he still could not strike Xiao Tian. The Ruyi Golden Cudgel was simply too powerful.

"Damn it!" Yun Shan was deeply shocked as well.

If this continued, he could only use another move.
