NOVPUBYou should know that his strength among the younger generation was already considered among the best.
"This is their true strength," Bai Lin murmured to himself.
Recalling his earlier inclination to challenge Xu Zimei, he couldn’t help but blush.
...
The shattered void spread out.
Explosions sounded all around with "bang bang bang".
Bai Lin could only follow the sounds of the explosions to discern the two fighters’ positions as countless afterimages flickered before his eyes.
After a dozen breaths, another violent explosion ensued.
Mo Tianming’s figure was seen flying backwards from the aftermath of the explosion.
"Brother Xu truly lives up to his reputation," Mo Tianming said with a light laugh, stabilizing himself and wiping a trickle of fresh blood from the corner of his mouth.
"You’re not bad either," Xu Zimei replied indifferently.
His words weren’t an exaggeration; among the young people he had fought against, Mo Tianming could rank in the top three, solely in terms of hand-to-hand combat skills and battle experience.
"If that is the case, then I will no longer hold back," Mo Tianming declared.
Behind him, an imposing aura surged mightily.
True Fate Emergence, a sun and a moon rose from the void with astonishing momentum. 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓹𝓾𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
It was as if tidal waves were coming from the sky, the sun and moon shining together, overpowering heaven and earth, reflecting each other.
The cold moonlight intertwined with the scorching sunlight.
The space behind seemed to be divided into two realms.
The bright sun in the sky, the full moon overhead.
Mo Tianming rose into the air, his presence altering, as if he grew more imposing.
Like picking the sun and the moon with his hands, and shouldering the Cang Tian.
The spiritual energy inside his body converged into a surging sea, the waves tumultuous, as he charged forth once more.
"You probably didn’t use your real strength when you fought with Ji Ruobing earlier," Xu Zimei pointed out.
"She wasn’t up to it, but I believe Brother Xu will witness it," Mo Tianming said with a smile.
His fists came smashing toward Xu Zimei.
One fist like a blazing sun, the other like a bright moon.
The void along their path was melted and burned to nothingness.
Shaking Heaven Power surged within Xu Zimei.
He summoned the Heaven-Shaking Giant.
This embodiment of ultimate strength bellowed up to the sky, its mountain-like hefty fists collided with Mo Tianming.
Simply based on size, it could crush Mo Tianming.
But when the two met, there was a momentary pause.
Their powers were deadlocked, stalemated at the point of impact.
Blasts of wind dispersed in all directions.
Space, like a spider web, spread outward from the center points of the Heaven-Shaking Giant and Mo Tianming.
In an instant, it could no longer withstand the force of their power.
Space completely collapsed.
A torrent of spatial turbulence wreaked havoc, blowing over their bodies.
This spatial turbulence could tear apart those with lower cultivation, the Vein Practitioners, into pieces.
Xu Zimei let out a smile; he utilized not only the Power Vortex inside him but also opened his Extraordinary Meridians.
The thirty-six Extraordinary Meridians, now with the aid of the Heaven and Earth Divine Stone, Xu Zimei had managed to unlock twenty-five.
Once all twenty-five Extraordinary Meridians were opened.
Strength began to flow through the Extraordinary Meridians and all his meridian channels.
The Heaven-Shaking Giant’s previously dull eyes suddenly erupted with a sharp glint.
The next moment, the winds of the punches howled by, striking with ruthless force, sending Mo Tianming flying.
After Mo Tianming’s figure was blown away, he crashed heavily against a large hall.
The rumbling sound of its collapse followed, and amid the rising dust, the great hall completely fell.
"If you leave now, I will spare your life," Xu Zimei said flatly.
He glanced back at the Myriad Treasures Pavilion.
The Myriad Treasures Pavilion, concealed within the void, was only accessible by destroying the stone table inside the gazebo.
That was the heart of the formation, which, once destroyed, would reveal the Pavilion’s independent space.
Normally, the Myriad Treasures Pavilion would be visible to the world and seen by all.
But this time, with the Heavenly Dao Academy facing a great catastrophe, the Pavilion had been concealed.
"With Brother Xu’s words, I won’t kill you later," Mo Tianming said, rising from the ruins of the great hall, a light smile on his face.
He stretched his limbs, and his injuries healed at a rate visible to the eye.
"Are you that confident?" Xu Zimei asked with a smile.
"Your trump card is that Emperor Qi, isn’t it?"
"It seems Brother Xu knows," Mo Tianming responded.
As his words ended, a tremendously powerful force burst forth from his body.
The force seemed to flow from his limbs, infusing every cell, and completely sublimating Mo Tianming’s very being.
The Emperor’s Aura was vast and mighty.
The entire sky was enveloped by this Emperor Qi.
The river of spiritual energy flowed without end, purple qi coming from the east for three thousand miles, hanging in reverse in the southeast horizon.
Centered on Mo Tianming, all the spiritual energy of the area converged towards him.
At this instant, his aura changed.
He seemed to have stepped out from the ancient, desolate lands.
A mighty Emperor’s Aura cascaded down.
"Great Emperor," Xu Zimei muttered as he watched Mo Tianming’s figure above.
He quickly shook his head, "No, compared to a Great Emperor, you have the form, but not the spirit.
You are still within the Divine Vein Realm."
"How does this compare to a young emperor?" Mo Tianming asked with a light chuckle as he descended from the sky.
With a casual grasp, the air solidified, and space shattered.
Countless air arrows formed in his hand, scattering in all directions.
"Young emperor?" Xu Zimei laughed and said, "It’s possible and yet not.
Becoming a Great Emperor isn’t just about having great strength."
"Try it again, Brother Xu," Mo Tianming laughed loudly.
The sun and moon behind him were both shrouded in Emperor Qi.
The two began to merge with each other.
As if the Heavenly Dog was devouring the sun and moon,
At that moment, the whole world turned pitch black.
"What’s happening?" Inside the Heavenly Dao Academy, everyone engaged in battle paused in shock.
They looked around, puzzled.
"It seems like some force is concealing the secrets of heaven, covering the sun and moon," someone said after sensing for a moment, speaking indifferently.
"Nine Stars Chain," came a soft shout.
Xu Zimei sensed a powerful force locking onto him.
Within his field of vision, aside from the pitch-black world, appeared nine stars arranged in a straight line.
Each of these stars represented a small world.
Each emitted a power capable of destroying heaven and earth.
As the light from the stars shone, it seemed as meteorites were falling from the sky, all smashing towards Xu Zimei.
"Nine Stars Chain, isn’t that the Great Void Emperor’s signature move?" Xu Zimei murmured to himself.
The Nine Stars Chain was originally a natural celestial phenomenon.
Legend had it that many small worlds, hidden around the Yuan Central Continent...
Each of the small worlds orbited in their unique trajectories.
Because these trajectories were relative, the numerous small worlds could coexist peacefully.
Avoiding collisions, interferences, and spatial chaos.
But this trajectory, once every hundred thousand years, would culminate in the phenomenon known as the Nine Stars Chain.
