The Sea-Overturning Seal Fusion
Dead silence.
A deathly silence.
Inside the main hall of the Yi family mansion, it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Whether it was the high and mighty patriarch and elders or the arrogant young master, they were all like ducks with their necks choked, mouths agape but unable to utter a sound.
Their bodies were trembling uncontrollably, and their faces were filled with an expression more terrifying than seeing a ghost.
The ancestor... has fallen?
The martial arts grandmaster, who was like a god in their hearts and had suppressed Coldwind City for decades, just like that... died? Turned to ashes by a single punch from a young man?
This fact, like the heaviest iron hammer, shattered all their pride, greed, and scheming, leaving only endless fear.
"Thump!"
It's unclear who was the first to give in, but their legs buckled and they collapsed to their knees.
Immediately afterwards, a series of thuds rang out as Yi Zhengyang, Yi Tianlei, Hong Batian... and all the other survivors present knelt down, prostrate on the ground, trembling, not daring to lift their heads.
In the face of absolute, overwhelming power, any dignity and backbone become a joke.
Dongfang Yueming slowly withdrew his fist, and the violent lightning intent subsided. His calm gaze swept over the kneeling crowd, and he spoke softly:
"Now, can you hand over your Yi family's Grandmaster martial arts techniques and that ' Sea-Overturning Seal ' to me?"
"Yes! Yes! Senior! This junior will go and get them right away!" Yi Zhengyang felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He scrambled to his feet and, with trembling hands, took out two ancient jade slips from his bosom, respectfully holding them high above his head.
Dongfang Yueming Xukong out and grabbed at the air, and two jade slips flew into his hand.
With a single scan of his divine sense, the information was immediately clear to him.
He glanced at the others kneeling on the ground, his eyes indifferent.
As for you...
"Senior, spare me! Senior, spare me!" Hong Batian was terrified and kowtowed frantically. "This junior was blind and did not recognize your greatness! I have offended you, senior! This junior is willing to offer all the martial arts techniques and secrets of my Hong family, just beg you to spare my life!"
"No need," Dongfang Yueming shook her head. "It'll be more convenient for me to get it myself."
Before he could finish speaking, he flicked his finger.
A burst of highly concentrated energy shot out and instantly pierced Hong Batian's forehead.
Hong Batian's body stiffened, and the divine light in his eyes quickly dimmed.
"You...!" Upon seeing this, Yi Zhengyang, Yi Tianlei, and the others were terrified.
"Keeping you around is just trouble."
Dongfang Yueming gave them no further chances. With a gentle wave of his hand, several bursts of energy, like the scythe of death, mercilessly sliced across the necks of all the core members of the Yi family.
Moments later, the entire hall was empty except for him.
He found the Yi family's Inner Force cultivation technique on Yi Zhengyang's body, and then turned his attention to the jade slip he had just obtained.
[So that's how it is. The core of the so-called Grandmaster's method lies in 'Gathering Spirit'. Through specific methods, spiritual power and the Martial Dao True Intent are highly integrated, thus giving birth to that mysterious 'Aura Domain'.]

Just as the "Sea-Overturning Seal" reached its Perfection, a vast and boundless true meaning of water, seemingly capable of overturning the four seas, erupted from Dongfang Yueming! This aura was so strong that it even penetrated the walls of the mansion and soared into the sky!
Then, that familiar feeling surged up again!
[Ding! Detected two martial arts of the same origin, "Yin-Yang Sea-Burning Record" (Perfection) and "Sea-Overturning Seal" (Perfection). Initiating fusion...]
This fusion is far more intense than any before!
Dongfang Yueming's consciousness seemed to be pulled into a chaotic space!
On one side is a constantly rotating Tai Chi diagram, constructed from water and fire, which was transformed from the "Yin-Yang Sea-Burning Record"!
On the other side is the blue ocean, formed from the "Sea-Overturning Seal," which contains the true meaning of endless water!
When that blue ocean collided with the "yin" position of the yin-yang symbol!
"BOOM--!!!"
The entire chaotic space trembled violently!
It is no longer a simple accumulation, but a transformation that is almost like the "Tao"!
The original Tai Chi diagram seemed to have been infused with a soul! The Yin position, representing "water," was no longer a simple black raging torrent, but had become deep, vast, and all-encompassing, like a truly boundless deep sea! Correspondingly, the Yang position, representing "fire," had also become more intense and dazzling, as if it had transformed into a truly radiant sun!
The fusion of water and fire is no longer a simple clash of energies, but transforms into the supreme realm of the rotation of yin and yang and the origin of all things!
[Fusion successful! Obtained a brand new martial art - "Two Aspects Seal"!]
Dongfang Yueming suddenly opened his eyes. In his eyes, it seemed as if the sun and moon rose and fell, and stars were born and died! An unprecedented sense of power and harmony filled his entire body!
He had a strong premonition that if he were to use the Two Aspects Seal again at this moment, its power would be several times greater than before!
Just then, two incredibly powerful auras of Grandmaster descended from the sky and landed outside the Yi family mansion.
Dongfang Yueming raised an eyebrow and instantly sensed it.
[One of them is an old fellow from the Jiao Clan.]
[Another one...] He sensed the fluctuations of the same cultivation technique as the recently deceased Hong Batian within that aura, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
[This must be the patriarch of the Hong family.]
Outside the mansion, the Jiao Clan patriarch and the Hong family patriarch arrived almost simultaneously.
Both of them sensed the extremely pure and powerful Sea-Overturning True Intent that suddenly erupted and then instantly subsided within the Yi family mansion!
[Could it be that Old Ghost Yi broke through his limitations in the heat of battle, reaching a new level of mastery?!]
Both patriarchs were filled with the same shock and apprehension.
When they saw the corpses scattered all over the Yi family mansion, and the only standing figure wearing a bamboo hat, their pupils both contracted sharply!
The Yi family... were wiped out?
Old Ghost Yi... is dead?!
