s.h.i.+ Tianhao calmly stood where he was. His form was evidently different from his form before.

He did not display his terrifying form earlier on. After s.h.i.+ Tianhao had perfectly merged his Fleece of the Grand Sage, Heaven-Shaking Thunderstorm, and his other attacks into his physical body, he no longer exhibited the Thunderstorm Avatar and the Golden Great Beast Form.

His form earlier was his cultivation form and not his battling form.

Now, s.h.i.+ Tianhao"s originally jade-white appearance began to glow with a faint golden light. Underneath his skin, a greenish-purple light flashed non-stop.

However, his body did not change. He was still a tall, young man.

However, the vitality and strength in his blazing hot body were like an active volcano that could not stop erupting. Such power made worried all cultivators below the Immortal Soul stage.

The power of his physical body surpa.s.sed that of late Nascent Soul stage cultivators who had merged their cosmic forms together with their physical body.

Looking at s.h.i.+ Tianhao before them, they were deeply moved.

s.h.i.+ Tianyi too appeared different compared to before. His skin shone with a golden light like a Buddha statue.

He had mastered the ultimate defensive Buddhist move, the Unmovable Nagaraja Buddha Cloak, which pushed his body to its limits.

An immovable, eternal and indestructible power began to appear.

However, at this moment, s.h.i.+ Tianyi"s golden Buddha statue-like body began to crack!

The Unmovable Nagaraja Buddha Cloak was broken. During the exchange of blows just now, s.h.i.+ Tianhao whacked s.h.i.+ Tianyi"s Unmovable Nagaraja Buddha Cloak like a hammer smas.h.i.+ng a walnut. Through sheer force, he was able to crack the Unmovable Nagaraja Buddha Cloak!

Looking at this scene, the onlookers all took in a deep breath.

To be frank, had s.h.i.+ Tianyi not cultivated the ultimate defensive move of the Great Thunderclap Temple and instead, the defensive move of some other sect, he may have been beaten to a b.l.o.o.d.y pulp by s.h.i.+ Tianaho.

Thinking about it here, the hearts of every single cultivator under the Immortal Soul stage chilled. If they were in s.h.i.+ Tianyi"s position, they would have been beaten to death by s.h.i.+ Tianhao.

Even the Celestial Sect of Wonders looked at this scene with shock.

Xiao Yan thought about the spar they had when they just entered the Foundation

Establishment stage a long time ago.

Then, s.h.i.+ Tianhao was only four to five years old. He had already exhibited an enormous amount of physical prowess. When they battled, Xiao Yan knew that in a strictly physical fight he would have been defeated.

He looked at w.a.n.g Lin and Zhu Yi, both of whom were in their Nascent Soul stage, and asked, "Do you two dare to battle Little Junior using only physical strength?"

Zhu Yi, who was normally a very calm person, glared at him and said, "If I go insane, then maybe."

w.a.n.g Lin thought about it carefully for a while and said, "The Yellow Springs will not die. I can only guarantee that Little Junior won"t be able to kill me. However, even after my body turns into the Yellow Spring, I cannot fight head-on. Before the Yellow Spring can eradicate his physical prowess, I"m sure that he will have destroyed it."

Xiao Yan turned his head to look at Yue Hongyan. The red-haired girl, normally fearless, smiled bitterly and said, "After I reach the late-Aurous Core stage, I may be able to battle him using the Golden Dragon Demon Battle Pole-Ax. I don"t dare to take him head-on in a purely physical brawl."

Xiao Zhener, who stood by the side, smiled and said, "Brother Xiao Yan, you are the only one in the same stage as him. What about yourself?"

He did not care that his own disciples were behind. Xiao Yan chewed on a stalk of gra.s.s in his mouth and said casually, "It"s simple. I can"t beat the little b*stard in a battle of physical strength and prowess. In an all-out fight, I can use my Tri Fire Lotus to bombard him into oblivion. If I fail, I will die."

The Celestial Sect of Wonders burst into a discussion. s.h.i.+ Tianyi, who was in the arena, had the deepest impression of s.h.i.+ Tianhao"s strength.

He lowered his head to look at the cracks on his golden body as his eyes flashed. "I can"t believe that you are this strong."

Earlier on, in the Void Battleground, the Marquis of Jinghuan did not use all of his powers. However, as a late-Nascent Soul stage cultivator of the Martial Way, he was still unable to crack s.h.i.+ Tianyi"s Unmovable Nagaraja Buddha Cloak

Cloak till it looked like a wrecked statue despite his physical prowess.

At this moment, s.h.i.+ Tianyi"s Unmovable Nagaraja Buddha Cloak was broken. The indestructible and unmovable power gradually began to disappear.

He quickly withdrew the Unmovable Nagaraja Buddha Cloak and said, "I"ve heard for a long while that your physical strength is terrifying. Hence, I want to see it for myself. It appears that the rumors are true. Since that"s the case, I shan"t let you touch me anymore."

s.h.i.+ Tianhao smiled and said, "Do you think I won"t be able to touch your body just because you say so?"

As he said that, he rushed towards s.h.i.+ Tianyi as quickly as a bolt of lightning. In the blink of an eye, he was next to s.h.i.+ Tianyi as he punched out.

Both pupils in s.h.i.+ Tianyi"s right eye flashed as a golden light spread from it. It turned into fog and in the fog, numerous runes appeared and floated in mid-air. They began to organize themselves into paragraphs as they started to form a world.

"Are you trying to create a false world?" s.h.i.+ Tianhao suddenly became alert as he stopped himself.

s.h.i.+ Tianyi looked at him calmly and said, "What"s wrong? Can"t you differentiate between reality and illusion? Are you afraid that I"m actually an illusion? Are you afraid of entering the world I created and hence falling under my control?"

"Speaking from the heart, your senior w.a.n.g Lin"s soul is extremely powerful," said s.h.i.+ Tianyi quietly. "My right eye isn"t very effective against him, particularly since he was prepared."

s.h.i.+ Tianyi"s tone was slow and casual. It was almost as if he was talking about daily matters to s.h.i.+ Tianhao. "However, you are different. Your soul is ordinary and the disparity between our souls is too wide. You cannot differentiate between reality and illusion."

s.h.i.+ Tianhao bared his teeth and said with a smile, "Don"t talk so much c.r.a.p. If you dare, come over."

"Do you think that my polycoria is used only for defense? Do you think that as long as you don"t come near to me, you won"t be hurt?" s.h.i.+ Tianyi said quietly. "You are wrong, fatally wrong. Ever since my right eye gazed at you, you have already been trapped in the world I created."

In the next instant, s.h.i.+

instant, s.h.i.+ Tianhao suddenly heard s.h.i.+ Tianyi"s voice from behind his back. He could even feel s.h.i.+ Tianyi"s breath on his neck.

"Now, do you understand?" Another s.h.i.+ Tianyi appeared just inches away from s.h.i.+ Tianhao. In his hand, a light blazed crazily. It was both fog and electricity. He smashed it straight towards the back of s.h.i.+ Tianhao"s head!

At this moment, s.h.i.+ Tianhao smiled, "You are the wrong who misunderstand."

As he said that, he vigorously turned his body around. His right hand was clenched in a fist and as he raised his arm, his right fist was like a hammer smas.h.i.+ng down towards s.h.i.+ Tianyi!

"Boom!"

s.h.i.+ Tianhao"s punch directly blew apart s.p.a.ce itself. Numerous spiritual energies were destroyed. Heaven, Earth, Wind, Thunder, Water, Fire, Mountain and Pond all flashed into existence before heading straight for oblivion. From their destruction, a terrifying, unlimited power appeared. The energy burst forth!

Heavenly Hammer of the Eight Trigrams!

s.h.i.+ Tianhao"s hammer was extremely fast. Despite attacking later, it was quicker than s.h.i.+ Tianyi"s attack. Before s.h.i.+ Tianyi"s right hand reached his head, s.h.i.+ Tianhao had already punched his mid-section.

s.h.i.+ Tianyi, who had shed his Unmovable Nagaraja Buddha Cloak flew back immediately with blood spewing out from his mouth.

Looking at this scene, Yue Hongyan"s eyes flashed. Lin Feng did not turn his head back. Instead, he said with a smile, "It appears that Hongyan had learned something."

Yue Hongyan replied, "Master, after I learned the Heavenly Hammer of the Eight Trigrams from you, I can only form the Resounding Thunder Hammer, the St.u.r.dy Mountain Hammer and the Expansive Earth Hammer. Now, as I look at s.h.i.+ Tianhao"s perfect Heavenly Hammer of the Eight Trigrams, I learned much. I believe a few days of self-study and reflection will greatly benefit me."

Lin Feng smiled and said, "It"s best for you to figure this out by yourself."

Yue Hongyan bowed and said, "Yes, master."

On the Great Qin Empire"s side, s.h.i.+ Chongyun nodded his head and said, "While s.h.i.+ Tianyi"s right eye can form a false world, the world is not meant for offense. Even if he creates an illusion of attack, it can only control his enemy, rather than harm or kill him."

"If he wants to attack, s.h.i.+ Tianyi must make the move himself."

s.h.i.+ Chongyun then said, "If he cast"If he cast the spell from afar, then it"s still okay. However, he went to attack s.h.i.+ Tianhao from a close distance. He did not expect s.h.i.+ Tianhao to react so quickly to the point where his counter-attack was faster than s.h.i.+ Tianyi"s own attack. Without the Unmovable Nagaraja Buddha Cloak, s.h.i.+ Tianyi is now at a severe disadvantage."

s.h.i.+ Xingyun, by his side, said, "Brother, s.h.i.+ Tianyi is not so simple."

"Oh?" s.h.i.+ Chongyun knew that his sister was special. While her mastery may not be as good as his, her soul was exceptionally powerful.

Hearing s.h.i.+ Xingyun"s words, he immediately turned his focus back to the Dragon Battle Arena.

As he watched s.h.i.+ Tianyi fly back because of s.h.i.+ Tianhao"s punch, he noticed that s.h.i.+ Tianhao did not follow up with more attacks. Instead, he lowered his head and looked at his fist.

"Cunning indeed. However, did I hit an illusion?"

A third s.h.i.+ Tianyi appeared not too far from where he was. His expression was calm as he said, "Naturally, I know that you are exceptionally powerful physically. Hence, why would I stupidly go near you?"

s.h.i.+ Tianhao waved his hand and said, "Oh, then what do you plan to do? Have a staring match with me till one of us die from hunger?"

"Don"t worry, it"s coming," s.h.i.+ Tianyi smiled as the void began to vibrate.

s.h.i.+ Tianhao swept his surrounding telepathically. He could only feel that many new items appeared in the void. However, they weren"t spiritual energy or mana. Not only was it hard to see them, he could barely sense them.

"Do you want to attack me with your soul"s power?" s.h.i.+ Tianhao"e entire body began to brim with energy and a cloak of red light covered his body. Approaching him was extremely difficult.

Power cultivators of the Martial Way had strong vital spirits. They burned as hot as the sun and their souls were deeply connected to their strong, physical body. Sometimes, they would be able to resist soul-based spells.

With this move, s.h.i.+ Tianhao"s eyes narrowed into slits.

Around him, he could see hundreds, even thousands, of specter-light shadows. Every single of them was s.h.i.+ Tianyi!

When onlookers saw this, even the Immortal Soul stage elders furrowed their brows.

Everyone had a soul, but only one. However, s.h.i.+ Tianyi managed to produce thousands of them!
