Peerless!

Though the collision between the spear shrouded in crystalline light and the Maha Tian Bell unleashed terrifying power, the actual contact lasted only an instant.

Combining the spear's sealing aura with the True Dragon Precious Technique, Futu Yijing had actually pierced the Maha Tian Bell's defenses.

The spear shot straight toward the space between Maha You's brows at an astonishing speed.

It was incredibly fast, but Maha You's reaction was hardly slow. At the critical moment, he stepped diagonally aside, and the spearhead grazed his cheek as it passed.

The spiritual energy dragon slammed into the White Jade Platform behind Maha You.

The terrifying force sent tremors through the entire White Jade Platform.

Blood trickled down Maha You's cheek. The spearhead had torn away a sizable chunk of flesh, leaving blood streaming from a gruesome wound.

Inside the Maha Tian Bell, spiritual energy surged across Maha You's face, staunching the flowing blood. His icy gaze glowed red as he stared at Futu Yijing.

He had never been so thoroughly suppressed before.

At that moment, Maha You's heart seethed with fury and dread.

That fellow's divine ability was actually this formidable on the offensive. Even cultivators in the Supreme Realm would certainly have cultivated their own Supreme Dharma Body; there was no way Futu Yijing lacked one.

Yet so far, that fellow had not even used his Supreme Dharma Body.

I'll force you to reveal your Supreme Dharma Body today! Maha You snarled inwardly.

Maha You fixed Futu Yijing with a savage, chilling stare. He bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a thick mouthful of blood essence. Boundless spiritual energy erupted from it, seeming to transform into dense winds and clouds that filled heaven and earth.

An indescribable might enveloped heaven and earth, making even the ground tremble.

Winds and clouds churned between heaven and earth, and terrifying power filled the air. Caught within it, Futu Yijing felt an immense pressure, his expression growing exceedingly grave. He knew something of the Maha Ancient Clan, so he naturally recognized that what Maha You was now unleashing must be the Maha Immeasurable Tribulation, one of the Thirty-Six Peerless Divine Abilities.

Above Maha You, black and white clouds roiled and converged furiously, gradually forming a black-and-white tornado. Destructive lightning raged within the storm, and everything in its path was annihilated.

"Tear him apart!"

Maha You let out a vicious laugh and changed his hand seal. The black-and-white tornado connecting heaven and earth swept toward Futu Yijing.

Watching the black-and-white tornado connecting heaven and earth, Futu Yijing drew a deep breath and stamped his right foot forward. He swung his spear, gathering savage spiritual energy into an enormous black dragon whose body rivaled the towering mountain beneath everyone's feet.

Roar!

A dragon's roar rang out. As Futu Yijing swung his spear, the black dragon soared into the sky, circling and wheeling through the air.

"True Dragon Precious Technique: Black Dragon Severs the Firmament!"

Futu Yijing thrust his spear, and the enormous dragon charged toward the black-and-white tornado with the might to contend against the heavens.

The black dragon slashed with its sharp claws, ripping open the tornado connecting heaven and earth, then plunged fearlessly inside.

Everyone looked up at the sky. Within the black-and-white tornado, the black dragon flew and crashed about freely between heaven and earth, showing not the slightest sign of faltering against the terrifying storm.

Maha You rapidly formed hand seals, unleashing the Maha Immeasurable Calamity. The spiritual energy within Futu Yijing was also being consumed at a furious pace. The black dragon's might grew ever stronger, carrying a terrifying force that seemed capable of shattering heaven and earth.

Suddenly, cracks appeared across the black-and-white storm, then spread rapidly into every corner. Cracking sounds rang out from the storm as, under countless horrified gazes, it shattered and collapsed. Yet the black dragon's might did not diminish in the slightest as it continued circling and wheeling in midair.

"He actually defeated the Maha Immeasurable Calamity?!"

Cries of shock rose from the surrounding peaks. The many powerful cultivators exchanged glances, all finding it impossible to believe. With Maha You's strength, unleashing a divine ability of this caliber should have left him virtually unmatched beneath the Heavenly Sovereign level.

Yet this very divine ability had been defeated by Futu Yijing in a head-on clash, while his own showed not the slightest sign of weakening.

"Just what divine ability is that?!"

Everyone was utterly aghast.

So far, Futu Yijing had revealed only four forms of his divine ability, yet they had already forced Maha You to exhaust every trick he had and still fail to match him.

"Grand Elder, how many forms does the young master's divine ability have?" Xuan Guang, head of the Xuan Lineage, swallowed as he watched the black dragon raging between heaven and earth, unable to resist asking Futuo Xuan.

"Nine!" Futuo Xuan, too, stared blankly at the scene before him.

He knew that his grandson possessed a Heaven-Gifted Divine Ability called the True Dragon Precious Technique, which he had begun cultivating as a child.

He had heard his grandson mention it when the boy first came to him hoping to obtain some true dragon bloodline.

At the time, he had merely felt that, as a Heaven-Gifted Divine Ability, it must be the divine ability best suited to Futu Yijing. Thus, he had even traveled to other continents to gather the finest true dragon bloodline for his grandson.

But he had never imagined that this Heaven-Gifted Divine Ability would be so astonishing.

With just four forms, he had beaten his opponent until he had no room to fight back.

Above the White Jade Platform, the black dragon's fierce momentum remained undiminished. It lowered its head toward Maha You, then flicked its tail and dove at him.

At that critical instant, the Immortal Golden Body moved in front of Maha You and swung its fist in time with his movements.

But the black dragon's might was even greater than before. Futu Yijing had clearly increased the flow of his spiritual energy, intending to end the battle with this strike.

The black dragon's enormous head crashed into the Immortal Golden Body, its terrifying force driving it back thousands of feet.

On such an occasion, Futu Yijing naturally could not take Maha You's life. After driving back the Immortal Golden Body, the black dragon lashed its tail, sending Maha You flying before dissipating. Only then did the savage spiritual energy disperse.

Having taken a direct blow from the black dragon, Maha You crashed heavily into the White Jade Platform. Blood sprayed from his mouth and continued spilling uncontrollably from its corners.

Compared with his arrogant bearing when he first stepped forward to challenge the Futu Ancient Clan, he now looked utterly bedraggled, his injuries clearly far from light.

Futu Yijing put away his spear and stood in midair, looking down upon Maha You without any sign of attacking again.

This allowed the Heavenly Sovereign on the Maha Ancient Clan's side to breathe a sigh of relief.

Just moments earlier, he had wanted to intervene and stop the match, but Futuo Xuan had held him in check, leaving him no choice but to watch obediently.

Everyone present gazed at Futu Yijing, replaying the clash in their minds. The insufferably arrogant Maha You had only gained a slight advantage when he was not using the Immortal Golden Body. The rest of the time, he had simply been subjected to a brutal beating.

"The Futu Ancient Clan's young master hasn't even used his Supreme Dharma Body," one Heavenly Sovereign remarked.

The others realized it as well and could not help drawing sharp breaths. Looking at Futu Yijing's bearing, they could think of only one word to describe him.

Peerless!
