"Bang!"
Almost at the same moment that beam of Buddha Light struck Xu Taiping, the second Ghost King abruptly broke free of the Great Light Extinguishing Ghost Curse's restraints.
"The Pagoda Ghost Domain is about to form. Meet your deaths!"
He raised his hand, clenched it into a fist, and smashed it toward Xu Taiping ahead with a boom.
As that punch hurtled out, everyone could clearly sense that this Ghost King's strength was at least equivalent to the great completion of the Spirit Refining Realm. His fist might carried a heart-palpitating aura of destruction, making them feel that anything standing before his fist would be blasted to pieces.
In an instant, the astonishment in the eyes of Chu Xiaoxiao and the others as they looked at Xu Taiping turned back into worry.
Yet in that flash of lightning, Xu Taiping, who had seemed to be comprehending something, suddenly assumed a fist stance and threw a punch straight at the Ghost King's.
Like the fluctuations of his aura, Xu Taiping's punch was nowhere near as powerful as the Ghost King's.
Yet as his fist shot out, it too carried a heart-palpitating might.
Unlike the Ghost King's, however, Chu Xiaoxiao and Monk Chongde could sense that the might of Xu Taiping's punch came not from his cultivation, but from the fist technique itself.
"The ultimate realm?"
Astonishment appeared once more in Monk Chongde's and Chu Xiaoxiao's eyes.
Unlike in True Martial Heaven, cultivators in Youyun Heaven pursued the ultimate realm far more fervently than advancement in cultivation once they reached the Spirit Refining Realm. Some even forcibly suppressed their advancement to raise a cultivation technique to the ultimate realm.
That was why they lost their composure so badly upon seeing Xu Taiping casually throw a punch brimming with ultimate realm might.
