……

A biting wind swept across the stands, and Tang Yusheng's gaze pierced through the swirling dust, settling on that familiar, tall figure in the arena.

His voice was deep and steady, revealing little emotion: "Through years of living alone, Lao Wu's strength has not diminished; on the contrary, it has grown day by day."

Tang Jigen narrowed his eyes slightly and slowly said, "He only used one soul skill to catch the superposition of two soul skills from Tang Potian, who was of a higher level."

He paused, his sharp gaze capturing the subtle tremors of Tang Yucheng's body amidst the torrent of energy. "He didn't use any additional defensive soul skills; he simply withstood the recoil and blood pressure surge from the combined impact..."

"This is due to the profound foundation of his own Kun Yuan Jue technique, which he has honed to a very high level."

"In terms of sheer resilience, he surpasses you."

Tang Yusheng smiled slightly, accepting the "inferiority" without hesitation, and laughed heartily: "Heh, Fifth Brother has always been excellent."

"A solid foundation." Tang Jinghe stood with his hands behind his back, nodding slightly.

It seems that more than a decade of free-range grazing has not only not reduced the population size, but has actually yielded the results we initially hoped for.

Tang Jigen's gaze swept over the intensely colliding orbs of light in the arena once again: "Yu Chen has been working on the front line of the forging platform for many years to make a living. With each swing of the hammer, what is being forged is not only steel, but also his muscles, bones and internal organs, and the condensation and polishing of his mind and soul."

"Over time, the mind, body, and spirit have progressed in tandem and become one."

He glanced at the imposing Tang Potian opposite him, "On the other hand, how long has it been since Tang Potian's Haotian Hammer was touched by the heat of the forging furnace, and since he experienced the condensation of being forged a thousand times?"

"Although forging is different from fighting on the battlefield, the solid foundation brought by the thousands of hammer blows has ineffable benefits for the purity and sustained growth of cultivation."

…………

The air in Lancashire suddenly seemed to freeze, and all breathing seemed to stop.

Every collision between the two figures captivated everyone's attention.

Tang Potian's soul power surged and roared, and the Haotian Hammer with its golden and red outline was no longer just a cold weapon, but a ferocious beast's limb connected to his blood and bones.

With each powerful swing, the wind pressure compressed and twisted, and a deep roar tore through the solidified air.

Fifth Soul Skill: Shaking Mountains!

With a sharp shout, the Haotian Hammer slammed into the ground with tremendous force.

It's not about attacking the enemy, but about igniting the rage of the earth's veins.

Superimposed: Haotian Nine Absolutes: Zhen Character Technique!

Om-!
The entire arena seemed to be gripped and distorted by an invisible giant hand.

A solid, earth-yellow shock halo, accompanied by a deafening roar that tore the earth apart, suddenly exploded.

The hard stone slabs of the arena arched violently and cracked inch by inch.

That violent and unparalleled shockwave not only tore the earth apart, but also, like countless invisible hammers, pounded the hearts and lungs of all living things within the domain, attempting to turn the resonance of flesh and bones into a chaotic torrent, completely disrupting the target's balance and the flow of soul power.

Faced with this terrifying, overlapping offensive, Tang Yuchen did not back down in the slightest.

He stepped forward with his right foot, and the solid ground beneath him instantly caved in as if it were molten iron.

The Xuanhuang Hammer was raised high, and the thick, viscous Xuanhuang soul power gathered and compressed wildly at the hammerhead at an astonishing speed.

Fifth Soul Skill - [Radiant Meteor Collapse]!
This is a soul skill with the three attributes of Yang, Strength, and Earth.

At the center of that condensed soul power, a dazzling sphere of dark yellow light rapidly expanded, like a miniature star being forged, radiating a blazing and robust aura of destruction. Inside, there was a violent energy that was frantically compressed to the extreme and almost out of control, while the sphere as a whole was exceptionally condensed, carrying a heavy, unshakeable texture like the earth.

The next second, the hammer, wielding the blazing sun, swung down fiercely!

It's really interesting that Tang Potian uses Earthquake Stance while Tang Yuchen uses Yang Stance, which is the opposite of what I remember about their fighting styles.

In fact, both of their martial souls possess the attributes of Yang, Strength, and Metal.

"boom----!!!"

There was no sharp clang of metal clashing, only the explosive roar of pure energy annihilation.

Two forces, each representing different extremes of destruction, collided precisely and violently.

The center point suddenly collapsed!
The incomparably blazing sphere of primordial yellow light was instantly detonated, and thousands of streams of fiery yellow light, carrying a destructive heat capable of tearing apart molten gold, exploded with a deafening roar.

At the core of this explosion, space suddenly caved inward, forming a powerful gravitational vortex that forcibly tore and dragged the shock halo released by Tang Potian toward the center of the explosion.

The shockwaves, which had not yet fully spread, were compressed and aggregated. Along with the countless pieces of arena debris that flew away, and even the scattered turbulent flow of soul power, they were all drawn in and swallowed up by this terrifying gravity trap.

Immediately following this was a second, earth-shattering eruption.

The matter and energy, compressed to their limits, could no longer withstand the devastating pressure and exploded once again with exponentially increased power, centered on the atomic bomb.

An even more terrifying shockwave, mixed with molten rock fragments and residual shock energy that had not been completely absorbed, transformed into a deadly, ring-shaped wave of death that swept out with overwhelming force.

The entire Lancashire stadium trembled violently.

The arena's protective light barrier was slammed into by this massive wave of energy, emitting a teeth-grinding groan.

The light screen was instantly covered with glaring spiderweb-like cracks, flickering like a candle in the wind, barely holding on and not collapsing immediately.

As the energy dissipated, a massive crater over thirty meters in diameter replaced the original center of the arena, its bottom filled with scorching, glassy crystals and wisps of blue smoke. Further on the arena's surface, enormous fissures spread out like ugly scars.

This strike delivered a textbook example of widespread energy rampage, scorching internal force erosion, terrain restructuring, and devastating energy annihilation. Smoke and light mist slowly rose, blurring the two figures in the deep pit.

……

The ashes had not yet settled, and the flames still flickered. Within the deep pit, two distinct protective barriers lit up simultaneously.

A layer of dark golden light (Iron-Blooded Overlord Body) flowed around Tang Potian's body, along with the 360° protection of Haotian Body. The two layers of radiance struggled to resist the scorching aftershocks, dispersing and annihilating the remaining shock fragments.

The light film fluctuated violently, revealing the impact it was enduring.

On the other end, a layer of armor-like patterns, resembling an ancient stone tablet, quietly appeared on Tang Yuchen's body, covering his entire body. It was dark yellow, thick, and the patterns were simple and unadorned.

This secret technique, the Xuanhuang Armor, is not a simple energy barrier, but a medium that is connected to the bloodline of the earth (the mountain's will is integrated into the armor).

The violent impact of the illusory collapse crashed into his armor like waves crashing against rocks. The force was supported and dispersed layer by layer by the rock-like texture, eventually turning into subtle tremors that were directed to his feet, causing his body to sink only an inch.

After withstanding the combined effects of high-level soul skills, it then defended itself with pure secret techniques, remaining as solid as a rock.

This scene silently illustrates a result: the Haotian Hammer's proud and invincible impact, in the pure energy clash just now, was pushed back from the front by the Xuanhuang Hammer's Huangyun Collapse power, which combined burst, collapse, and gravity.

In Tang Yuchen's hands, the Xuanhuang Hammer revealed a form capable of directly confronting and even suppressing the power of top-tier weapon spirits.

……

Amidst the billowing dust, Tang Jinghe locked onto the Xuanhuang Hammer in Tang Yuchen's hand, his brow furrowing slightly: "Something's not right. Yuchen's hammer... the aura is off."

"Father, have you noticed anything unusual?" Tang Jigen immediately asked.

"The rank of the Martial Soul," Tang Jinghe said in a low and confident voice, "should be rank nine."

"Ninth Rank?!" Tang Yusheng's gaze sharpened, his words urgent. "His ninth-rank aura isn't obvious, is it?"

Tang Jigen's eyes focused on the soul light. After a moment, he said in a deep voice, "The earth is heavy and solid, the power is abundant and vigorous, the metal is sharp and restrained, and the yang is full of vitality—the four attributes flow together in harmony, and the divine brilliance is contained within. He has undoubtedly entered the ninth rank, but his sharpness is hidden in the abyss."

Tang Yusheng laughed and said, "So that's how it is... Not only has his cultivation improved, but his martial soul has also undergone a change."

"It seems that the fifth brother has gained tremendous good fortune during his years away from home."

……

Tang Potian raised his hand to wipe away the barely perceptible bloodstains from his lips, his face ashen, only his eyes burning with an almost tangible fighting spirit as he stared intently at his opponent in the dust.

"A disheveled cloak."

The deep shout was squeezed out from between his teeth, no longer containing any probing, but only resolute determination.

As his soul power surged, the jet-black Haotian Hammer suddenly lost its cumbersome feel, and he swung it with one arm with great force for the first strike.

The immense wind pressure tears through the air, serving as the trigger for the first strike, like the impact of a meteorite's radiation.

The second hammer fell immediately!
Using the momentum of the previous hammer and the force of the rebound, the hammer speed increases sharply, and the power is subtly superimposed. The precise point is at the end of the tremor of the previous hammer's force field, and the connection point carries the power-gathering momentum of the "penetration" technique, moving forward smoothly.

Its power is quietly rising.

The third hammer blow, the fourth hammer blow... In Tang Potian's hands, the Haotian Hammer transformed into an ever-growing golden-red whirlwind.

Each blow is heavier than the last, each blow is faster than the last!
Power is like piled-up mountains, and speed is like a vortex that devours everything.

Each strike embodies the precise control of the penetrating force and the delicate transmission of the vibrating force.

On the arena, a storm of soul power swirled around his wildly dancing figure, drawing in rubble and dust to form a deadly vortex full of attraction.

The terrifying suction force in the center of the eye of the storm was like an invisible giant hand, desperately dragging Tang Yuchen to the other end.

Faced with this destructive storm, Tang Yuchen swung his Xuanhuang Hammer horizontally, advancing instead of retreating.

"Nine Gai".

The Xuanhuang hammer danced, its trajectory ancient and solemn, each movement like stirring up a thousand pounds of mud and sand.

The golden-red destructive hurricane collided violently with the thick, dark yellow clouds, and the dense collision sounds instantly merged into a heavy, muffled thunder.

The pit has long since lost its shape, transforming into a churning swamp of energy.

At its center, two figures, like the vortex of a storm, continuously fueled an even more terrifying collision.

Tang Potian's disheveled cloak had reached a state of utter chaos.

The hammer shadows are no longer simple superpositions; each hammer blow is imbued with a specific sharp will, changing freely within the continuous framework of the "penetration" technique.

The seventh strike suddenly transformed into a dark rainbow piercing the sun, the ruthless thrust of the "Breaking" technique aimed directly at Tang Yuchen's center, but was intercepted by a Xuanhuang horizontal bar with the steady and solid weight of a mountain.

The twelfth hammer strike, its tip condensing into a black jade-like force, aimed the penetrating edge of the Xuanhuang armor at the same point, producing a piercing friction sound.

Tang Yuchen slightly turned his steps, and the hammer seemed to draw an arc lightly, but it was the intention of gathering dust that was activated, which drew and stagnated the penetrating force that was attacking, and then transformed it into the starting point of the next hammer counterattack (the flow of earth). As soon as the counterattack hammer touched the side of the Haotian Hammer (the position of the twenty-sixth hammer), the flexible force of the entanglement technique quietly wrapped around the handle of the Xuanhuang Hammer, trying to delay the change.

Tang Yuchen's wrist trembled, and the force of rock collapse surged back from the hammer handle, forcibly dispersing the sticky, binding force.

The pace of the game quickened in an instant!
