As Xiao Yan surveyed the area around the Fire Lotus, Hei Mu, on the other hand, also caught sight of the invisible vortex. His expression shifted, and he couldn't help but gasp in amazement at Xiao Yan's heaven-defying abilities.
He never imagined that a mere Half-Emperor level youth could unleash such a terrifying Dou Technique. And judging from the current situation, his Fire Lotus Dou Technique clearly still has room for improvement.
So, the future grade of the Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus will not be limited to the Human Class Dou Technique. Once it truly matures, coupled with Xiao Yan's continuous growth in strength, the Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus will become increasingly terrifying. At that time, the Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus may even directly transcend the Spirit Class Dou Technique category and become the Intent Class Dou Technique!
Even with Hei Mu's composure, the thought made his heart skip a beat. As an old man from ten thousand years ago, he was well aware of the terrifying power of Intent Class Dou Technique.
After all, he currently possesses three scrolls of Intent Class Dou Technique, which would have been an immense fortune even in ancient times. Hei Mu clearly remembered how many powerful individuals, stronger than him, had tried to compete with him, only to end up with nothing to show for their efforts, losing both their wives and their troops.
With his Intent Class Dou Technique, Hei Mu Hei Mu able to remain undefeated even though his opponent's cultivation level had reached the Yuan Zong realm, thanks to the domineering power of his Intent Class Dou Technique!
Therefore, Hei Mu always placed great importance on Intent Class Dou Technique. As for the even higher Saint Class Dou Technique, Hei Mu didn't even dare to think about them. Even in his time, only the true powerhouses of the continent could possess such Dou Technique, and even with Hei Mu's past temperament, he had never dared to imagine their Dou Technique...
Human Class Dou Technique are capable of completely destroying a region; wouldn't Spirit Class Dou Technique be even more devastating? And Intent Class Dou Technique are already capable of rendering the world insignificant; then what about Saint Class Dou Technique...?
Thinking of this, Hei Mu suddenly shuddered, his empty gaze snapping back to reality. He shook his head, quickly severing the thought from his mind, before turning his gaze back to Xiao Yan with lingering fear. However, at this moment, Hei Mu's dark face appeared somewhat pale. Faced with Saint Class Dou Technique, even he dared not think too much...
This doesn't mean he's afraid of Saint Class Dou Technique. Dou Technique are just a vessel for Dou Qi or Origin Qi; without someone to use them, they're useless.
However, Saint Class Dou Technique are not just for show; otherwise, Hei Mu wouldn't have felt his hair stand on end just thinking about them. Saint Class Dou Technique are not only terrifying, but also require immense power to control. As for the Saint Class Forbidden Dou Technique that follow, they are unimaginable...
That kind of power would probably cause a devastating upheaval to the entire continent!
Fortunately, let alone Saint Class Forbidden Dou Technique, even Saint Class Dou Technique have seen virtually no news of their emergence in the past thousand years on the continent. As for Intent Class Dou Technique, very few people on the continent can truly master them these days...
After all, those terrifying Dou Technique, while incredibly powerful, also require a considerable amount of effort to create, and only the true powerhouses of the continent can accomplish such feats...
At the same time, and more importantly, is comprehension, or some other ethereal state, or some special inheritance left by a powerful figure. Perhaps there is a chance to create Dou Technique, or it's just a matter of luck, like... Xiao Yan.
The situation took a dramatic turn for the better.
Under the combined suppression of the powerful figures on the continent, all Dou Technique exceeding the Heaven Class Dou Technique must be released into the Endless Void when used. This rule prevents the entire continent from being devastated by battles between powerful figures.
While Xiao Yan's Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus was rapidly gathering power, the equally terrifying Intent Class Dou Technique, Heaven-Seizing Claw, was also frantically vying for all the energy within this space.
The pitch-black claw, formed from the Endless Void, was now releasing terrifying devouring power. This power originated from the void, and at this moment, it was devouring the void once again, making itself even more terrifying.
As the Endless Void was continuously devoured, a layer of dark light spots was rapidly condensing on the surface of this black claw at a speed visible to the naked eye.
As these dark points of light coalesced, fragments resembling pieces of armor began to appear on the terrifying claw. These fragments gradually pieced together as the dark points of light continued to coalesce, and the shattered armor was being restored to its original state...
Seeing this, Xiao Yan frowned deeply. The Heaven-Seizing Claw truly lived up to its reputation as Intent Class Dou Technique. It could actually use the spatial power in the Endless Void to condense armor. In this way, the Heaven-Seizing Claw not only gained a significant boost in power, but it could also continuously devour the spatial power in the surrounding space as a supplement. If the Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus could not break it in one go, the result would probably be something Xiao Yan did not want to see at this moment.
As for the master of this weapon, Hei Mu, after witnessing what was happening on the Heaven-Seizing Claw, he didn't seem too surprised. The Heaven-Seizing Claw was one of his trump cards when he was at his peak. Even now, although the Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus in front of him was not weak, he still had considerable confidence in his Heaven-Seizing Claw. Intent Class Dou Technique cannot be just talked about.
Feeling the increasingly powerful and terrifying aura emanating from the Heaven-Seizing Claw, Hei Mu's previously tense expression due to the Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus returned to calm. It seemed that in order to use the power of the Heaven-Seizing Claw to take down Xiao Yan in one fell swoop, Hei Mu was now truly giving it his all.
Hei Mu slowly extended his withered hands from beneath his sleeves. His withered hands were slightly curved as he raised them and gently traced a line across his wrinkled forehead. His fingernails, which were usually inconspicuous, were sharper than steel knives and swords at that moment.
As Hei Mu's fingertips traced a line, a bloody gash was slowly cut open in the center of his brow. Then, under Hei Mu's control, a drop of blood essence with a dark golden glow floated leisurely in front of Hei Mu.
As this essence blood was forced out, Hei Mu's already pale face turned even more sallow, and it seemed as if only a skull remained beneath his withered skin. The light in his pair of gloomy eyes vanished completely, and his aura suddenly dropped a level.
Given Hei Mu's current state, mobilizing his own essence and blood for his own use is indeed too high a price to pay. However, fortunately, this body is not entirely his. While he suffers, the original owner of this body, Qing Mu, will also be affected to some extent. In this way, Hei Mu feels a little better.
But the current situation is not so simple; what he needs to do is to further enhance the power of the Heaven-Seizing Claw!
As Intent Class Dou Technique, the current Heaven-Seizing Claw doesn't even possess one percent of its peak power. The most important aspect of Intent Class Dou Technique is the fusion of Dou Qi and Spiritual Strength. Only when the two are integrated and complement each other can their power be multiplied.
With a slightly strained breath, Hei Mu took a deep breath of the air that rushed towards him, carrying a hint of blood. He slowly closed his eyes, and the moment he opened them again, his pupils shone brightly. With a thought, the remaining Dou Qi within his body surged like a raging river, and at the center of Hei Mu's brow, a surge of powerful Spiritual Strength transformed into towering waves that swept across every corner of the space.
The next moment, Hei Mu brought his right index and middle fingers together, flicked his wrist, and his fingertips began to move across the drop of blood.
As his fingertips moved continuously, the invisible Spiritual Strength around him seemed to be drawn towards that drop of essence blood.
"Drink it! Melt it for me!"
Suddenly, Hei Mu let out a low growl like a ferocious beast, and at the same time as the growl, his dark index finger touched the drop of blood essence.
Instantly, light radiated outwards, countless golden rays enveloped in Spiritual Strength scattering like blinding sunlight. They then converged into the Heaven-Seizing Claw, flowing into the vortexes on its surface, imbuing the Heaven-Seizing Claw Heaven-Seizing Claw a subtle yet powerful aura...
"Weng..."
At a certain moment, a buzzing sound, as if the space itself was trembling, quietly came from the silent void. Then, a circle of brilliant flames, like ocean waves, spread rapidly out of the void with that buzzing sound, breaking through all the constraints of the surrounding space and crashing straight into the huge Lingtian claw that was enveloping it.
As if sensing something, Ling Tian's claw, which had been covering most of the Void Space, also trembled at this moment. Then, the huge Ling Tian claw seemed to come alive. The massive claw suddenly moved, its five fingers spread open, and it swung its sharp claw, slamming it fiercely against the oncoming wave of flames.
At this moment, the real clash has only just begun...
