Everyone heard only a crisp crack, like the sudden popping of a major spinal joint—powerful and startling.
"If you don't try, how will you know?" Simulation Yun Ming's eyes gleamed with savage light. His body seemed to ignite like blazing fire as he charged forward without fear.
Boom!
Two powerful forces collided violently, unleashing a shockwave that shook heaven and earth.
The entire King's Hall swayed under the impact and began to collapse.
The marble floor beneath their feet shattered as if trampled by a giant elephant. Mountains and rivers seemed to tremble, as though the whole world were shaking.
Boom!
A bolt of lightning tore across the sky, and in an instant, the winds and clouds changed. Heaven and earth shook.
Simulation Yun Ming surged forward with the wrath of thunder. His palms contained endless lightning, and every strike came with deafening thunderclaps.
"Five Thunders Heavenly Heart Technique?" Yuan Tiangang's voice carried a trace of surprise before his expression darkened. "I underestimated you."
Clearly, the power Simulation Yun Ming displayed had far exceeded Yuan Tiangang's expectations.
In reality, every viewer stared at the screen in stunned silence as they watched the fierce exchange.
The protagonist and the masked man on the screen collided again and again, each clash as devastating as the collapse of heaven and earth.
With a single blow, everything within dozens of meters was reduced to dust. The entire Palace City instantly became ruins beneath their battle.
From the Royal Palace to outside Palace City, their battle swept through like a raging storm. Everywhere they passed was left in utter chaos, as though it had been thoroughly ravaged.
In this battle between giants, innocent lives—soldiers, palace maidens, eunuchs, commoners, and more—were mercilessly taken like ants beneath their feet.
"Is this even martial arts?"
"This is straight-up fantasy!"
"These two are insanely overpowered!"
"The protagonist has only cultivated for a few years, yet he can fight Yuan Tiangang, who has cultivated for so long, on equal footing! If he gets more time, won't he become even more terrifying?"
"This has to be cheating!"
Everyone cried out in amazement and discussion, utterly shaken.
"This looks even stronger than our Super Soldiers." Zhao Xin widened his eyes and muttered.
The two figures on the screen crashed together like humanoid missiles. Every exchange made people's hearts pound.
"It only looks that way. They possess mystical Inner Force." Qiang Wei frowned. "We use physical attacks. We might be slightly weaker in terms of destructive power, but they definitely can't stand against us."
"Xiao Lun can withstand bombardment from grenade launcher batteries." Qi Lin glanced at Ge Xiaolun.
Remembering his daily training, Ge Xiaolun quickly shook his head. "That still hurts a lot."
"With a flick of my hand, a miniature flare can blow up a whole area. If I put in some effort, it would be a nuclear bomb." Lei Na proudly raised her chin. "And I have a divine body. I wouldn't even need flares. I could take those two out with one punch each."
"I think that if we really fought them, we might not actually be their match." Zhao Xin stroked his chin thoughtfully. "Look at their hand-to-hand skills. Their combat experience is incredibly rich, far beyond ours."
"Bullshit!" Qiang Wei scoffed at his words with utter disdain. "Do you know what it means when overwhelming strength crushes every technique?"
"There's no real comparison to make. One is martial arts, and the other is science." Qi Lin shook her head and said calmly, "If we really want to decide who is stronger, we'll have to fight first. It's too early to say any of this now."
Far away in the Angel Nebula, a group of angels was also watching the battle.
"Those two are completely reckless. Half the city has been destroyed by their battle, and they don't care about the lives of ordinary people at all." Angel Leng gave a cold snort, her face full of contempt.
"Based on the combat power they've displayed, what level do you think they're at?" Holy Keisha stared at the screen, one leg crossed over the other as she asked casually.
"Judging by their destructive power, they should have reached the level of Second Generation Warriors." Angel Yan answered Holy Keisha. "But I feel their true level is only comparable to First Generation Warriors."
"If they were compared with our angels' First Generation Warriors, they probably wouldn't be opponents." Angel Zhui added. "Their attack power may have reached the level of First or Second Generation Warriors, but their defense should only be at the First Generation level, perhaps even lower."
"They can alter the weather, turning a clear sky into one full of dark clouds in the blink of an eye." Holy Keisha chuckled and patted the sofa. "That's rather interesting. Yan, you're an expert in lightning too. What do you think?"
"Judging from the results, their abilities truly aren't inferior to mine." Angel Yan showed a thoughtful expression and said gravely, "I create lightning by manipulating positive and negative charges, while they seem to use so-called Inner Force to react with positive and negative charges. This method of controlling power is indeed difficult to comprehend."
Holy Keisha nodded and said with interest, "Inner Force. It sounds like a form of bioenergy. I'm very curious—how do they obtain this energy? Do they draw it from the air, or does it come from some power within their own bodies?"
"Seeing how they play with fire, lightning, and ice, they should be drawing energy from nature."
In a certain garden, He Xi wore a silver gown, elegant and dignified. Her delicate features were like a work of art carefully carved by nature.
Resting her cheek on her hand, she gazed at the screen in the sky with starry eyes as brilliant as jewels and said softly, "If they obtain that power from within themselves, then it truly is rather mysterious."
"Perhaps we could try studying it?"
A soft laugh sounded by He Xi's ear, like a spring breeze rippling across a lake.
He Xi shook her head slightly, her earrings swaying with the movement. She sighed. "The elemental substances in the air are far too complex. We have no way of determining which one is at work. We only have an abstract concept and lack any tangible object to serve as a basis for research. That's a difficult problem."
She paused, her brows furrowing slightly before she continued, "Moreover, if this so-called Inner Force comes from within the body, then it will be even harder to grasp. I've read the records of many civilizations. Honestly, I think this Inner Force has much in common with the wild fantasies found in those civilizations. It is all steeped in mysticism."
He Xi stared at the screen, a hint of conflict in her voice. "What this screen has revealed lies beyond our understanding, yet it also seems to be confirming something."
She raised her hand and caught a beautiful butterfly. "Keisha, what do you think is the purpose of this screen playing these videos?"
Holy Keisha shook her head, indicating that she did not know either. "Perhaps it is promoting some evil power. Perhaps this protagonist has an unusual identity. Or perhaps it is the prank of some great god? We have no way of knowing."
He Xi sighed softly, her bright eyes falling on the protagonist on the screen, who was now covered in blood and looked utterly miserable. "Then we'll keep watching and make our judgments slowly. Perhaps, as time passes, we'll discover more clues and truths."
