As Xiang Yun lunged, the ferocious pressure of his fist swept up the sand and dust on the Primordial Battle Platform.
It formed a dark, roiling dragon of dust that descended with the overbearing force of a landslide and tsunami.
"Not bad!"
Xiang Huang laughed heartily at the sight of that punch's might.
He could tell that Xiang Yun now had the strength to fight an Initial Life Profound opponent in a fierce battle, or even defeat one.
The next moment.
Xiang Huang's Qi and blood swelled throughout his body as well. Surging Origin Energy belonging to the Advanced Life Profound stage gathered around his fist, and he punched out in turn.
First of the Three Heaven-Breaking Forms, Earth Splitting!
But Xiang Huang's punch was just as terrifying, as though it had stolen the gaze of everyone around them.
"What? Is this some kind of joke? Young Hall Master Xiang is actually going to meet Peak Master Xiang head-on?"
Ning Chen's pupils contracted as he murmured.
"Has he gone mad?"
The many disciples watching the battle were stunned. They had only assumed that Xiang Yun intended to engage Xiang Huang in a prolonged fight.
Who would have thought he would meet him head-on instead?
After all, this was someone at the Advanced Life Profound stage, and he was even using the Three Heaven-Breaking Forms, the surging Qi and blood in Peak Master Xiang's body.
Wu Xun frowned slightly. "Xiang Huang's Primordial Battle Body has reached the point where it can resist death Qi. Xiang Yun is being far too reckless!"
Hong Wuji, however, smiled faintly. "Keep watching."
When the two burly figures collided on the Primordial Battle Platform, time seemed to stop for an instant.
Boom-!
As Xiang Yun's purple-glowing fist met Xiang Huang's arm,
A heaven-shaking explosion erupted. Terrifying fluctuations of Origin Energy shot into the sky with the two men at their center, then were carried in every direction by the fierce winds sweeping across the platform!
Gulp!
At that initial clash, Xiang Huang raised an eyebrow. His figure immediately retreated as he said, "If that's all the strength you have, you're going to lose!"
"Heh, take another punch!" Xiang Yun immediately manifested his Tyrant Body Ancestral Form, empowering himself with terrifying strength once more. A vast purple force swept out, contending against Xiang Huang's surging Origin Energy.
"Heavenly Tyrant Fist!"
This time, Xiang Yun had also empowered it with the Heavenly Horned Ant Precious Technique and the Kun Peng Precious Technique. The Heavenly Horned Ant went without saying; those who understood its strength understood.
As for the Kun Peng Precious Technique, though it was known for extreme speed, its speed was merely more worthy of praise compared to its strength. But since it was the source of one of the Ten Fierce Techniques,
How could its strength be lacking?
The entire void trembled at that moment, as though every last bit of force was being drained away beneath that punch.
Xiang Huang's gaze sharpened. Isn't this brat's strength a little too terrifying?!
He, too, threw another punch. "World Suppression!"
Second of the Three Heaven-Breaking Forms, World Suppression!
A vast fist appeared, like a martial artist who suppressed all things, a pair of fists suppressing the countless living beings of heaven and earth.
Suppressing the world with fists.
"Even someone in the Death Profound Realm would probably be injured if that punch landed. Didn't Xiang Huang say they were just going to spar? Why is he going all out?!"
It was not just Wu Xun; Hong Wu and the others were stunned as well. Xiang Huang did not look like he was merely testing moves with Xiang Yun.
Hong Wuji stood in the air with his arms folded, but he nodded in satisfaction. "It means Xiang Yun is putting too much pressure on Xiang Huang. He's worried he really will lose if he holds back. Besides, what reason is there to hold back on the Primordial Battle Platform?!"
The disciples around them cried out in alarm as well. Though many of them had not mastered it, they knew what World Suppression meant.
"Holy shit, they're really fired up now! Peak Master Xiang is going all out! Young Hall Master Xiang isn't going to get killed by that punch, is he?!"
"Hard to say. I'm afraid Young Hall Master Xiang won't be able to withstand this punch."
"It's hard to say."
Everyone discussed it, but none of them took their eyes off the Primordial Battle Platform. Under all those gazes, the two figures collided.
Xiang Yun's body was enormous, his fist bearing down on Xiang Huang.
The next moment.
A deafening blast rang out, and wave after wave of terrifying force swept wildly outward from the center of their collision.
A boundless, violent force field expanded at incredible speed, covering an area more than a hundred meters across.
Layer upon layer of ripples in the air, carrying tremendous sound waves, spread in every direction like the raging waves of a furious sea. Just as the shockwaves were about to sweep outward, the Primordial Battle Platform stopped them.
The next moment.
The crowd saw only two figures fighting ferociously. Fists, elbows, legs, and even heads became weapons for the two men.
Though Xiang Yun's body was enormous, his movements were exceptionally nimble. The ceaseless explosions rang out like densely packed peals of thunder.
Ripples of fierce wind swept outward in circles, and the air within dozens of yards promptly exploded with a succession of bangs.
The dull thuds of fists landing on flesh made everyone's hearts pound with fear.
They were so fast that the crowd could see only two afterimages. Just as everyone thought they would remain locked in combat for a long time,
A figure suddenly flew out of the fray.
"Is it Young Hall Master Xiang?"
"Can't you use your eyes? That's obviously Peak Master Xiang! Peak Master Xiang lost in close combat!"
"Fucking awesome!"
Xiang Huang hastily clutched his body in midair. Feeling the force wreaking havoc on his flesh, he could no longer hide the shock in his eyes.
It had even shaken the Origin Energy inside him and left his body numb!
No one had told him that the one he had adopted was a humanoid true dragon!
Was this kind of strength really something a human could possess?
"Dad, take another punch! Heavenly Tyrant Fist!!"
This time, Xiang Yun blended the Heavenly Horned Ant Precious Technique, the Kun Peng Precious Technique, the Heavenly Tyrant Body, even the Primordial Battle Platform and World Suppression, the second Heaven-Breaking Form... all together.
"Boom-!"
The Heavenly Tyrant Fist, containing all of Xiang Yun's strength, intertwined in the void at that moment.
It hung in the sky like an overbearing existence that had torn through space and descended into this world.
At once.
Heaven and earth shook.
The Heavenly Tyrant Fist, containing Xiang Yun's ultimate strength, shattered space and slammed into Xiang Huang as he flew backward, before countless shocked gazes.
Clang!
The instant they collided, a heaven-shaking sound shook the skies!
A brilliant, violent burst of purple light rose like a purple sun falling from the heavens, suppressing everything in existence.
Within that intense light, everyone could feel a terrifying fluctuation that bordered on destruction.
Bang! Bang!
Rings of earth spread across the Primordial Battle Platform, and some of its runes had already grown a little dim.
The Primordial Battle Platform, which could withstand elders in the Death Profound Realm fighting, had reached the edge of its limit under that instant's eruption.
That meant this punch
Had reached the might of the Death Profound Realm. Even without the special power of a Death Profound Realm cultivator's death Qi, its destructive force alone was enough.
"What an astonishing clash..."
The many peak masters stared intently at the source of that dazzling light, at the astonishing fluctuations emanating from it.
Even they could not help looking grave.
At this level, even with their strength, they could not simply dismiss it.
Yet such an attack had erupted from Xiang Yun's hands.
It left even these experts of the older generation unable to help sighing in amazement.
Especially Zhong Ling, the deputy peak master of Battle Heaven Peak. He had heard that Xiang Yun had previously intended to challenge him.
"Thank you for sparing my life, Young Hall Master!"
He certainly could not have taken that punch!
