Tang Yuchen was slightly taken aback: "Divine skill? What do you mean by that?"

Instead of directly explaining the knowledge from his past life, Chen Xiaojun followed his own line of thought and delved deeper, throwing out a startling conjecture: "I just suddenly thought... could it be that the Great Sumeru Hammer and the Great Kunlun Hammer are essentially... two sides of the same coin?"

Tang Yuchen's body stiffened abruptly, as if struck by an invisible electric current.

Chen Xiaojun spoke slowly but clearly: "Look at their paths: the Great Kunlun Hammer uses spirit rings as nodes to absorb the power of the earth's veins for its own use; the Great Sumeru Hammer condenses the power of the spirit rings themselves, and may also involve some kind of absorption and transformation..."

"Let's look at the ultimate techniques: 'Ring Detonation' is destroying the spirit ring to unleash a devastating burst; 'Nuclear Explosion' is detonating the power of the earth's core, channeling the spirit ring into the martial soul, and triggering super-limit power..."

“What if…” Chen Xiaojun’s eyes gleamed with contemplation, “What if these two diametrically opposed yet seemingly complementary paths… could be combined?”

“Even further,” he looked at Tang Yuchen, “your family’s Kunyuan Nine Heavens Technique constructs a ‘miniature world’ within the body that simulates the earth’s veins, nurturing different elemental powers.”

"If this structural foundation could be integrated with the vigorous and intense operation of the Haotian Sect's Nine Yang Force..."

Tang Yuchen's eyes flickered violently, as if every word Chen Xiaojun said was like a hammer chiseling into the foundation of his understanding, stirring up unprecedented waves.

Once a thought is brought to light, it can never be ignored.

It seems the Chen family knows a great deal about the Great Sumeru Hammer; they've certainly learned a lot about it.

This young master, having just learned about the Great Xuanhuang Hammer, was able to put forward this idea that his family had not discovered for thousands of years. He is truly quick-witted, has a broad vision, and is ingenious.

He is not Chen Xiaojun, and he does not know Chen Xiaojun's way of thinking.

How about learning about Yin and Yang? Or perhaps about Marxist-Leninist dialectics?

This is the depth of civilization.

Seeing his reaction, Chen Xiaojun did not stop, but continued to explain his observation: "The fundamental difference between the two sects is also clear: your Xuanhuang sect seeks a kind of simplicity of 'purity' and 'profundity'; while Haotian sect is more like a sect with complex techniques and a pursuit of ultimate explosiveness of 'breadth' and 'sharpness'."

He took a deep breath and turned to the most crucial point of this conversation: "So, Master Tang, regarding these two unparalleled techniques... especially the 'Great Kunlun Hammer' and the 'Great Sumeru Hammer,' who exactly created their origins?"

Tang Yuchen looked at Chen Xiaojun's serious expression and remained silent for a few moments, seemingly weighing some deep-seated family memories.

Finally, he spoke slowly, his voice low: "This... has to start with the two ancestors of the Tang family... Tang Haotian... and Tang Xuanhuang."

Chen Xiaojun keenly picked up on the information in the name: "Tang Haotian? Tang Xuanhuang? So, your lineage is directly descended from the ancestor Tang Xuanhuang? Tang Haotian is the ancestor of the Haotian Sect?"

Tang Yuchen nodded: "Yes. Back when our hammer spirit was still called the Mountain-Breaking Hammer, our family had a pair of twin brothers with extraordinary talent, both of whom had innate soul power exceeding level nine."

His words carried the dust of history: "They once ventured together into an unfathomable ancient ruin... it was after they returned from that unknown ruin..."

He took a deep breath and, word by word, clearly described that turning point: "The two brothers did something amazing—they abandoned their names that had been with them for decades."

Chen Xiaojun was somewhat surprised: "'Haotian' and 'Xuanhuang' are not their real names?"

“No,” Tang Yuchen confirmed, “Since then, ‘Haotian’ and ‘Xuanhuang’ have not only become their names, but also their titles that have made them famous throughout the continent, completely replacing their original identities.”

"Therefore, we have continued to call him that over time. As for his real name, we would probably have to look it up in the family genealogy."

Chen Xiaojun's heart stirred slightly: "So, the names Haotian and Xuanhuang were... re-given by themselves after that trip to the ruins?" "That's right," Tang Yuchen said with certainty, "and it was also shortly after they received their new names... that the astonishing Great Sumeru Hammer and Great Kunlun Hammer were displayed in their hands for the first time, shining like the sun and moon!"

He shifted his tone slightly, revealing a cautious view of family tradition: "As for these two unique skills, do they originate directly from that ruin?"

"Or what exactly happened within the ruins that triggered this phoenix-like transformation?"

"The family records have long been lost, and I cannot give a definite answer."

Chen Xiaojun understood his meaning. Although he wasn't 100% certain that these two sets of ultimate techniques came from the ruins, he was pretty close to it.

So he pressed on, "With such extraordinary talent, did they ultimately... fail to reach level ninety-nine?"

A deep pain and regret flashed across Tang Yuchen's face, and his voice lowered: "It was precisely because they both achieved the level 98 Supreme Douluo and were at the height of their power that the Crimson Church became wary of them at the time."

"Therefore, the level 99 peerless Douluo of the Crimson One personally took action."

He paused, as if he could still feel the devastation of that battle: "That battle blew the land and shook the heavens and the earth."

"The ending... that arrogant and peerless Douluo finally fell to the combined forces of the two ancestors."

Chen Xiaojun couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, "Killed?"

This is a level 99 peerless Douluo!

How could two level 98 characters possibly kill him?!
Back then, when Chen Zixiu and Bo Xian'er faced Qian Chongling, they only said they could hold out for a while.

The two ancestors of the Tang family were actually able to kill each other from a specific direction. Regardless of whether they were Limit Douluo who had comprehended the rules, their level 99 soul power was genuine.

Even if they can fight back, we can't kill them.

Needless to say, the Great Sumeru Hammer and the Great Kunlun Hammer, as well as the exploding ring and nuclear explosion, will definitely be used.

Each person's combat power increased four or five times...

Tang Yuchen nodded emphatically, his voice even heavier: "Yes, but the price... is extremely high."

"Our ancestor Tang Xuanhuang, who was the main force of the defense, was completely exhausted and died in battle. He turned into an indestructible rock statue and became the first petrified person in our race."

"Although our ancestor Tang Haotian survived, he suffered unimaginable injuries... He passed away just a few years after the war."

Chen Xiaojun understood: "It seems that... in that battle, the two ancestors must have pushed the two ultimate mysteries of 'ring explosion' and 'nuclear explosion' to an unprecedented limit, unleashing power far beyond their realms."

"In fact, with the combined power of the two ancestors' Great Sumeru Hammer and Great Kunlun Hammer, the power is multiplied, enabling them to kill enemies of higher levels."

"This price... is it due to excessive backlash, or perhaps it was created not long ago, and its profound meaning was not yet perfect?"

Tang Yuchen shook his head sadly: "This history is too tragic and distant, and the secrets within... I have no way of knowing them."

Perhaps not each of them had enough of the six soul bones to support the burst of power, so later generations took this as a lesson and made improvements.
