Chapter 1451 Sumeru Kunlun: A Terrifying Thought

……

Originally, he thought that "Great Sumeru Hammer" was just a name given by the Haotian Sect for a peerless technique that was full of imposing power and happened to be a coincidence.

After all, Tang Chen had said in his previous life that this was a divine skill.

But now, the core secret technique passed down through generations of the Xuanhuang Tang family is also called "Great Kunlun Hammer".

Can this... can this still be called a coincidence? It's too much of a coincidence!
The coincidence is so striking... it's enough to defy common sense!
Chen Xiaojun clenched his fist tightly, his nails almost digging into his palm, and a chill ran down his spine to the top of his head.

In the fragments of his past life memories, Tang Chen (or the will he represented) had vaguely mentioned that "the Great Sumeru Hammer was originally a divine skill."

Does Tang Chen's statement from later generations point to a truth far more terrifying than imagined?

If the names of these two things are not coincidental, but point to some origin... if they are indeed related to some ancient, transcendental divine understanding, ultimate mountain imagery from another world (or dimension)...

So, the secret involved will concern...

Chen Xiaojun felt as if a chilling liquid was flowing back up his throat, which then turned into an extremely heavy thought: I must find out!

The powerful figures, such as Shao Siming, the Ziwei Emperor, the Donghuang Emperor, and even Nuwa, appear and disappear in the shadows.

We must spare no effort to figure out the essence of the connection between these two unparalleled skills—"Sumeru" and "Kunlun"!

This is by no means just a secret about the dispute between two families with the surname Tang... It is very likely directly related to the ultimate source of the power system on this continent!
It relates to the true origin of so-called divine skills!
For the Chen family, who are currently planning for the future and intend to implement a three-step grand strategy...

The core strategy of the Chen family in their attempt to unravel the mysteries of Douluo Continent and the God Realm...

The significance of the meanings represented by "Sumeru" and "Kunlun" is so great that it could shake the heavens!
It even points directly to the very foundation of power in this world!

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his surging emotions, and looked at Tang Yuchen with eyes as deep as an abyss. His voice trembled slightly, without even realizing it, and carried an undeniable urgency: "Master Tang... could you... tell me more about this 'Great Kunlun Hammer'?"

……

Tang Yuchen remained silent for a moment, a rare hesitation appearing on his face.

This is, after all, the deepest secret of the Xuanhuang Tang family, and only a direct descendant like him could know it.

He then thought that the Chen family had a deep foundation and might not be completely unaware of this—the name "Great Kunlun Hammer" had been circulating in the top circles for a long time.

Finally, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders, his voice was deep yet clear: "The 'Great Sumeru Hammer' of the Haotian lineage condenses the energy of the soul rings into one, providing a continuous power boost."

"And 'ring explosion' is the extreme application of this technique, which uses the destruction of the soul ring as a price to obtain terrifying bursts of power in a short period of time."

He gathered his thoughts and said in a deep voice, "Our 'Great Kunlun Hammer' operates on a different principle than the Great Sumeru Hammer."

"It sinks its soul ring deep into the earth's veins, making it a node connecting it to the vast earth."

"In this way, the primordial power of the earth accumulated within a radius of several miles is drawn in, and a flowing cycle of 'mountain power' is constructed around the body and inside and outside the hammer."

"This power has two effects: first, it greatly enhances defense and pure strength; second, it can condense and materialize this vast earth vein power into a huge rock hammer—this is also the important reason why the hammer of my Xuanhuang lineage is called the 'Mountain-Breaking Hammer'."

Tang Yuchen paused, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes: "Similar to the Clear Sky Sect, the higher the quality of the soul ring, the more abundant the earth vein power it can draw upon, and the greater the amplification." "As for its ultimate technique, 'nuclear explosion'..."

"It is to instantly and completely detonate and release the core essence of the earth that connects this 'node,' thereby obtaining unparalleled power that is enough to overturn the course of the battle!"

As he described it, Chen Xiaojun thought of the Great Desolation Scripture in fantasy novels, which draws on the life force of the earth and transforms it into a desolate land.

He astutely grasped the core difference: "A nuclear explosion? Isn't it like exploding a spirit ring, sacrificing the spirit ring itself?"

“No,” Tang Yuchen shook his head, “In the profound mystery, our soul rings serve as core ‘nodes’ and ‘channels’, constructing an energy cycle, drawing it in but not releasing it, and ultimately detonating the power of the earth’s veins that are drawn in from the outside.”

"This aligns better with our clan's belief in the earth's 'bearing virtue and carrying all things' yet containing endless energy, emphasizing the activation rather than overdrawing one's own soul ring."

Chen Xiaojun lowered his head and pondered for a moment. When he looked up, his eyes held a clear deduction: "The Haotian Sect's 'ring explosion' forcibly increases energy by brutally squeezing and destroying the soul rings."

“A spirit ring will inevitably be damaged after being subjected to intense exploitation and will be unusable for a short period of time.”

"If the outburst is too violent, the Soul Master himself will also suffer a severe backlash, and the damage to his meridians will be almost irreversible."

"Similarly, in your 'nuclear explosion,' which forcibly detonates such a massive amount of ley line energy in an instant, the spirit ring is not only the catalyst, but also plays a crucial role in channeling and buffering it, just like..."

He used a concise analogy: "Forcing a precision pipeline to instantly bear a torrent of lava far exceeding its design load, under the impact of overload, it is possible that the soul ring structure, which serves as both the 'pipeline' and the 'guide valve,' will be damaged or even collapse."

"The spirit ring itself will inevitably bear tremendous pressure."

As a master blacksmith, Tang Yuchen instantly understood the analogy about "overload" and "pressure limit" and could not refute it.

The young master of the Chen family's insight into the role of the "carrier" in the flow of power surprised him somewhat.

“Young Master is right.” He nodded heavily. “Any technique that relies on a huge instantaneous boost will inevitably come at a heavy price.”

"Forcing the machine to operate beyond its capacity will at worst cause it to explode. And our tribe..."

His voice lowered, "I am not the inheritor of the Great Kunlun Hammer, so I dare not say whether the soul ring will be damaged."

"But the clan history clearly records that... an ancestor used 'nuclear explosions' multiple times at the critical moment of life and death, and shortly after the war... his whole body was petrified."

"Petrification?!" Chen Xiaojun's eyes narrowed.

“Yes,” Tang Yuchen confirmed. “In the past, some ancestors overused ‘nuclear explosions’ in a major battle that was a matter of life and death.”

"Shortly after the war, his body... inside and out, turned into cold rock."

He paused for a moment, his voice carrying a hint of heaviness, "This is probably... the final form after the body is completely unable to withstand the erosion and erosion by that terrifying earth's soul power."

Chen Xiaojun nodded silently: "Yes, the power is out of control, and the external manifestation is petrification, which is very consistent with the backlash of the earth attribute."

A moment of silence filled the tavern.

Chen Xiaojun finally spoke, asking the crucial question that had been lingering in his mind: "So, Master Tang... can this 'Great Kunlun Hammer' be considered... a divine skill?"
