Dragon Elephant Thunder Sound

Deep within the underground palace, the deathly silence was shattered by heavy footsteps.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

With every step Fang Gang took, the hard bluestone tiles beneath his feet exploded, spiderweb-like cracks spreading wildly!

The entire underground palace trembled along with him, dust raining down from the vaulted ceiling!

Dragon-elephant force surged and roared through the fully perfected Tendon Transformation Realm muscles and bones. Every contraction and release of his muscles brought a deep, muffled thunder-like rumble from his sinews and bones—Dragon Elephant Thunder Sound!

His right hand tightly gripped the pitch-black Broken Horn. The dark-gold blood patterns winding across it shimmered as they continued pouring violent source power into the imprint on his left arm.

Beneath the skin of his left arm, strange dark-gold patterns had already spread to his shoulder like living vines. They brought an unusual pain where scorching heat and icy cold intertwined, along with explosive growth in strength!

Buzz—!

At the end of the underground passage ahead, two enormous shadows embedded in the stone walls abruptly opened their eyes! They were pairs of pupils formed from burning ghostly green flames!

Rumble! Rumble!

The stone walls exploded!

Two stone figurine guards, each three meters tall and forged entirely from some dark cyan metal, crushed the rubble beneath their feet and stepped out!

Their bodies were as heavy as mountains, their joints covered in savage beast-head carvings. Their movements were somewhat stiff and slow, yet they carried an overwhelming, crushing might!

Each held a bronze halberd over four meters long, its blade as thick and heavy as a door panel and covered in ancient thunder patterns!

The tips of their halberds glinted with cold light. Merely dragging them across the ground carved deep furrows into the hard floor!

Grade A! Slumbering Guardians! Incarnations of strength and defense!

"Those who disturb the sacred relic... die!" A dull voice like grinding stone emerged from the leading stone figurine's chest, carrying icy killing intent.

Before its words had faded, the two bronze halberds tore through the air. With shrill howls and colossal force, they struck from the left and right like two cyan bolts of lightning, chopping down upon Fang Gang in the center of the passage!

Where the halberd winds passed, the air was forcibly driven aside, forming visible ripples of vacuum!

The attack was simple! Direct! Pure strength crushing everything!

Facing this terrifying combined strike, powerful enough to reduce a small building to ruins, Fang Gang showed not the slightest fear. His eyes held only boiling battle intent!

"Good!"

He neither dodged nor evaded! He did not even put down the Broken Horn in his right hand!

The perfected Nine Yang vitality and blood within him erupted like a dormant volcano! Golden-red magma surged beneath his skin! The defensive power of the Indestructible Golden Body gathered in his left fist!

Dragon-elephant force crazily compressed and condensed amid thunderous rumbling from his muscles and bones!

"Dragon Elephant! Break!"

His left fist transformed into a blazing golden-red meteor, striking after yet arriving first! Carrying the domineering will to shatter the void and destroy all laws, it fiercely smashed toward the bronze halberd cleaving down from the left!

A fist against a giant halberd!

"Clang—!!!!!"

An indescribably terrifying explosion rang out through the underground passage! It was like nine heavens' thunder erupting within a cramped space!

The violent sound waves formed a tangible impact, smashing viciously against the stone walls on either side and shaking down countless fragments!

At the center of the collision!

Dazzling golden-red radiance and dark cyan halberd light clashed and annihilated each other madly!

Crack crack crack—!!!

A dense burst of teeth-grinding metallic wails rang out!

The incomparably heavy bronze halberd, forged from an unknown metal, bent into a horrifying arc the instant it came into contact with the iron fist burning with golden-red flames!

At the point where blade met fist, the hard metal seemed unable to withstand the impact of that terrifying force, instantly splitting with countless spiderweb-like cracks!

"Roar!" The stone figurine guard holding the halberd let out a dull roar. Its massive body staggered backward from the violent recoil, its heavy metal feet plowing two deep trenches into the ground!

As for Fang Gang, he stood as immovable as a boulder rooted in the earth! His left fist, covered in faint golden-red light, did not even bear a single white mark!

The giant halberd of the stone figurine guard on the right had arrived! It descended with the force of Mount Tai crushing down!

Fang Gang's gaze turned cold. Without even looking at it, his right arm muscles bulged like dragons! His hand gripping the pitch-black Broken Horn moved as though wielding a heaven-cleaving warhammer, swinging backward with savage force!

Whoosh—!

The Broken Horn tore through the air, raising a dull wind pressure so heavy it made hearts tremble!

The dark-gold blood patterns flowing across it flared brightly, releasing an oppressive aura originating from the source itself, heavy enough to make one's soul shudder!

"Get lost!"

The Broken Horn smashed fiercely against the side of the bronze halberd descending from the right!

There was no clash of metal!

Only a dull, shattering sound, like a heavy hammer smashing rotten wood!

"Bang—!!!"

That imposing bronze halberd began twisting, warping, and shattering inch by inch from the side that had been struck, as though explosives had detonated inside it!

Countless dark cyan metal shards mixed with broken thunder patterns shot backward like cannonballs!

The stone figurine guard on the right suffered a devastating blow! Its enormous body was blasted off the ground by the terrifying force and heavy pressure transmitted through the Broken Horn, hurtling backward into the stone wall behind it!

Rumble!!!

A massive crater was smashed into the stone wall, rubble falling like rain!

The stone figurine guard was deeply embedded within it. Cracks covered its dark cyan metal body, and the ghostfire in its chest flickered violently, its glow dimming!

Fang Gang withdrew the Broken Horn without even looking at the two guards he had driven back.

The dark-gold patterns of the imprint on his left arm seemed to have spread a little farther upward during that outburst, and the burning sensation intensified.

He strode forward, heading straight for the exit deeper within the underground palace!

His heavy footsteps landed on the shattered ground, Dragon Elephant Thunder Sound roaring without cease. Every step made the entire underground structure groan under unbearable strain!

"Stop him!" The halberd-wielding stone figurine on the left struggled to its feet and let out an enraged roar, charging again while dragging its cracked halberd!

Without turning around, Fang Gang casually swept his left hand backward!

"Great Sun! Incinerate Demons!"

A palm imprint condensed almost into substance, blazing with golden-red flames, flew from his hand and instantly struck the stone figurine guard's heavy chest!

Sizzle—boom!!!

The supremely yang true fire violently collided with the dark cyan metal!

Firelight instantly swallowed the upper half of the stone figurine! The terrifying explosive force blasted it away once more, sending it crashing heavily to the ground!

A charred hole had been melted through the metal on its chest. Its internal energy core crackled as it shattered, and the ghostfire rapidly went out!

The other guard, trapped in the stone wall, struggled to crawl free.

Fang Gang had already reached the end of the passage. Stone stairs rose ahead, leading to the surface. His footsteps paused slightly as he glanced sideways at the struggling stone figurine, then his right arm suddenly exerted force!

Whoosh—!

The pitch-black Broken Horn in his hand became a black streak tearing through the darkness. Like a boulder hurled from a catapult, it carried a piercing shriek as it smashed viciously toward the stone figurine's head!

Bang—crack!!!

The stone figurine's metal-forged head shattered instantly like a fragile clay jar beneath the Broken Horn!

Countless metal fragments and scattered motes of internal energy flew in every direction! The massive headless body went completely rigid before crashing to the ground!

The Broken Horn embedded deeply into the stone wall behind it, still humming and trembling as dark-gold blood patterns glowed faintly across its surface.

Fang Gang walked up the stone steps and extended his right hand without looking back.

As though pulled by an invisible force, the Broken Horn embedded in the wall abruptly tore free and flew back, landing steadily in his palm.

The sense of power brought by devouring the source intertwined with the searing pain of the imprint on his left arm, like drinking poison to quench thirst.

He stepped out of the underground palace entrance and once again stood within the ruined City God Temple.

The night wind wailed, and leaden clouds hung low.

But Fang Gang's spiritual perception had long since penetrated the temple walls, clearly "seeing"—

Shadowy figures filled the wasteland outside the temple!

Three figures radiating powerful and bizarre auras stood in a triangular formation like vultures waiting for prey, tightly sealing off the City God Temple's exit!

On the left stood a woman in gaudy opera costume, her face painted with deathly white makeup. She held a mourning staff that constantly dripped black viscous fluid, while mournful illusory sounds that dazed the mind curled around her.

On the right was a hunched figure shrouded in a voluminous black robe, holding a bone staff. Beneath its feet churned a sticky black mist made up of countless tiny poisonous insects, accompanied by an unceasing hiss.

Directly ahead stood a hulking man in tattered bronze armor, his face covered by a savage bronze mask. He held a horse-chopping saber the size of a door panel upside down in one hand, its blade burning with ghostly green flames!

Countless wailing phantom souls coiled around the blade!

Three of the Nightmare Twelve Priests: the Phantom Sound Priest, the Insect Gu Priest, and the Ghost General Priest!

Farther away, countless shadowy black figures radiating vicious auras writhed through the darkness as they closed in! They were elite cultists and controlled malevolent ghosts that had been summoned!

Icy killing intent flooded the entire City God Temple like a tangible tide!

The Faceless Cult Master's cold command seemed to still echo in his ears.

Fang Gang tightened his grip on the Broken Horn, which still transmitted power into him. He felt the burning patterns of the imprint on his left arm spreading to his shoulder blade, along with the violent power within that nearly burst from his body.

He stood at the entrance of the ruined temple, shadows outlining his tall, spear-straight figure.

Looking at the powerful enemies waiting outside and the surging darkness, he did not retreat. Instead, he bared a mouthful of white teeth in a grin, the battle intent in his eyes nearly turning into tangible flames.

"Everyone's here?"

His voice was not loud, yet it clearly pierced through the night wind, carrying a wild arrogance that looked down on everything. "Saves me the trouble of finding you one by one!"

Dragon Elephant Thunder Sound rumbled through his muscles and bones, answering the coming bloody feast!
