……

Before the dust had settled, the heavy breathing of the two people at the bottom of the pit could be clearly heard.

Panda stroked his chin, his gaze sweeping over Tang Yuchen, who was standing firmly on his hammer in the deep pit, and said in a low voice, "This Tang Yuchen is really something."

Chen Chen nodded slightly: "Uncle Tao (Panda), we have invested more than just a little in him. We have a Grade 9 precious medicine, the 'Mysterious Vein Golden Melon,' plus a 50,000-year-old Mountain Giant Ape Soul Bone."

The Mysterious Vein Golden Melon is a ninth-grade treasure form of the Immortal Grass Dragon Golden Melon, primarily possessing the dual attributes of Earth and Metal, with Strength and Yang as secondary attributes.

Its nature is a perfect match for Tang Yucheng's Xuanhuang Hammer Soul, perfectly complementing each other.

It was by refining this item that he was able to break through the level 70 barrier in one fell swoop and successfully upgrade his martial soul to the ninth rank, which also helped him comprehend the two intentions of Dust Gathering and Mountain Leap.

Upon hearing this, Panda put down the wine pot, smacked his lips, and a knowing glint flashed in his eyes: "Tsk tsk, with such a huge investment, it seems this person will have to work like a slave for the family for the next ten years or so to make up for it."

Chen Chen's lips curled slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile: "His worth is well-deserved."

"Whether it's his own forging skills or the Xuanhuang Tang family he represents, he's worth investing in."

"Whether this deal will ultimately be profitable or not remains to be seen."

Xia Ying then spoke in a low voice: "However, these two items are not something that can be purchased by a director-level official. They are special cases that are handled specially. He only received this treatment because it happened to coincide with this plan."

She paused, then said softly, "Our authority is limited; we can only access the 'Level 6' highly classified part of the incident."

"The core of the entire plan has been rated as 'Level 8 Forbidden'... What we see is just the tip of the iceberg beneath the surface."

They are all at the vice-ministerial level and have the authority to understand some of the Level 7 content, but the ultimate layout involving Level 8 remains shrouded in mystery.

Panda took a swig of wine, squinted, and looked at the two disheveled figures in the pit: "A hidden thread in the grass, a long-term plan."

Sooner or later, we will find out about these things.

……

Amidst the dust and rubble, Tang Potian slowly stood up, supporting himself on his knees. His eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was dry and hoarse: "Good... very good, Tang Yucheng. Twenty years have passed, and you've become quite arrogant."

Tang Yuchen raised his hand to wipe away another trace of blood from the corner of his lips and shook his head.

After more than a decade of wandering the world, he had long since passed the age of being passionate and impulsive.

Even though he was in the lead at that moment, he felt no sense of pride.

He looked at the man he once considered his greatest rival with a calm gaze, as if he were looking at a familiar stranger.

This almost indifferent calmness, however, was interpreted as silent contempt by Tang Potian, whose self-esteem had been severely wounded.

The humiliation of defeat, which he already found hard to accept, was instantly ignited, and he roared, "But I don't believe in this nonsense!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly shot out.

With a swift grab of his right hand, the Haotian Hammer, which was stuck diagonally in the ground not far away, hummed and trembled, transforming into a streak of silver light and instantly entering his palm.

"Fourth Soul Skill - Thunderous Fury!"

A blinding blue-white lightning bolt exploded, and violent electric snakes writhed and leaped wildly across his body, making his entire aura incredibly ferocious.

The Haotian Hammer was completely enveloped in blinding lightning, emitting a violent buzzing sound.

The hammer suddenly trembled, and he was lifted up from the ground.

This was followed by an even fiercer roar: "Sky-Piercing Strike!"

With the enhancement of the thunderous fury, the "Soaring Strike," which was already the strongest single-target burst technique of the Haotian Sect, became even more powerful.

The Haotian Hammer in the air, wrapped with thousands of lightning snakes and forcibly expanded to a larger size by lightning energy, carried an extremely pure and savage impact force.

There were no fancy trails, only immense pressure falling from the sky.

The air was compressed and exploded, producing a muffled roar like that of a prehistoric beast.

A hint of helplessness flashed in Tang Yuchen's eyes.

Immediately, his eyes sharpened, and the originally heavy, earthy-yellow soul power around him suddenly became sharp and condensed.

"Third Soul Skill - Breaking Army Cutter!"

The Xuanhuang hammerhead suddenly burst forth with a dazzling dark golden light.

The highly compressed and condensed soul power instantly extended into a solid, heavy, and metallic-gleaming drill-shaped energy body, its sharpness restrained yet possessing an indestructible penetrating quality.

He stomped his right foot on the ground and charged straight ahead like an arrow, heading towards Tang Potian.

In the instant he drew near, his body suddenly spun rapidly, causing the dark gold drill bit to spin upwards, aiming straight for the heaviest point of the massive thunder hammer.

Take a break!

At the same time, the Kun Yuan Technique soul power within Tang Yuchen's body, which was as solid as a mountain, instantly boiled.

Every inch of soil and stone beneath his feet became an extension of his meridians.

The soul power was no longer poured into the hammer in one direction, but instead, through the Yongquan acupoints on both feet, it was like countless tiny roots, deeply rooted into the depths of the broken arena, firmly "grabbing" the surging torrent of earth vein energy below.

"Eight Desolations Suppress the Mountains!"

With a deep shout, the power of the earth's veins, drawn by his soul force, surged and poured back along the invisible veins connecting him to the earth.

It wasn't just a simple injection; it was more like a giant hammer transforming into a volcano erupting with the power of the earth's veins.

What was originally just a simple upward swing of the hammer has now triggered a dramatic change deep within the earth's strata—

Rumble…

The dull thud did not come from an impact, but rather from ten feet below his footing, a groan as the thick rock layers were forcibly torn and arched by violent force.

The earth element energy of the entire area was instantly activated, and the cracks on the ground were no longer scars, but instead became channels for the earth's power to gush upwards.

At this moment, the Xuanhuang Hammer became several times heavier. It wasn't the hammer that was drawing power, but rather the earth vein power rising from below that was supporting the giant hammer and propelling it to strike.

As the hammer is swung upwards, the visible shockwaves do not emanate from the hammerhead, but rather spread in reverse from the handle, frantically drawing in and gathering the restless, heavy energy (the essence of earth) from the surrounding strata.

This powerful, turbid air, under his precise control, did not disperse but instead rose rapidly along the trajectory of the hammer.

A whoosh—wherever the hammer struck, the space emitted a mournful sound as if compressed by a heavy force.

A semi-transparent, brown funnel-shaped force field, composed of pure, solidified, and profound spiritual energy, rotated upwards and instantly formed.

Like countless invisible chains extending from the earth, winding and twisting together from bottom to top, eventually forming the earth's backbone.

It was stable, heavy, and carried an unshakeable will like a mountain, forcefully resisting the thunderbolt that fell from the sky.

This was not merely a defense or an outward projection of power; it was more as if he had briefly "broken" an invisible foundation from the earth itself to support the sky.

……

boom----! ! !
One is the [Sky-Piercing Strike], which descends from the sky, condensing the ultimate power of thunder and violently colliding!
One is the [Eight Desolate Mountains Suppressor], which combines the power of the earth's surging upwards, the ultimate metal element's penetrating and chiseling strikes, and the earth's suppression and shockwaves!
Two completely different yet fiercely opposing single-target attack techniques collided violently in mid-air in the most direct and violent way.

Time seemed to freeze in that instant.

The raging purple lightning and the thick, dark gold light devoured and annihilated each other in a frenzied battle.

The immense energy collided at the center, forming a brief sphere of light, and then—

Bang! ! !
The overwhelming shockwave, mixed with violent lightning fragments and shattered primordial energy, exploded violently in all directions.

The already dilapidated center of the arena collapsed again.

Tang Potian groaned in mid-air and flew backward out of control. While in the air, he spat out another mouthful of blood, and his face instantly turned pale.

On the ground, Tang Yuchen retreated more than ten meters before barely managing to steady himself, each step leaving deep footprints on the hard stone.

His blood and qi surged violently in his chest, and his throat tasted sweet.

Fortunately, his body, forged and tempered over a long period of time and refined by the Xuanmai Golden Melon, was tough and strong enough. The thick and long soul power of the Kunyuan Technique in his body flowed on its own, which had the function of nourishing the body and smoothing the blood and qi.

A moment later, although his face was still pale, his turbulent blood and qi had gradually calmed down.

……

The smoke and dust at the edge of the pit were stirred up by the torrent of soul power. Tang Potian's eyes were filled with blood, and his soul power surged and churned around him.

Sixth Soul Skill - Blazing Sun Body

A golden-red flame rose silently, leaving dark, lava-like marks beneath his skin.

At the same time, the left arm bone burst forth with dazzling golden light, drawing in the sunlight to pour down upon the hammer.

"Left Arm Bone Technique - Heavenly Judgment"

This is a 28,000-year-old soul bone, and his sixth soul skill comes from a soul beast, comparable to a nearly 40,000-year-old soul bone.

The blazing flames of the Blazing Sun Body were ignited by the golden light of the same origin, and suddenly expanded.

The lightning that had been wrapped around the hammer had completely transformed into boiling golden-red flames, distorting the air with its destructive heat.

The ground beneath his feet instantly melted into a glass-like crater. He used the momentum to launch himself forward, letting out a low roar as he shouted, "True Yang Force!"
He cultivates the same metal-attribute True Yang Energy as Tang Chen.

Jin Zhiyang unleashed his full inner strength, and the speed and power of this hammer blow surpassed the previous [Sky-Piercing Strike]. Before the incinerating pressure even arrived, the rocks on the ground were already cracking and scorching.

On the other side, Tang Yuchen's pupils suddenly contracted.

"Sixth Soul Skill - Undying Golden Body".

A dense, dark yellow light enveloped his body, and a dark gold metallic luster condensed and flowed on his skin.

The outer layer of Xuanhuang armor shone brightly with its patterns, and combined with the original defensive effects of Kunyuan Transformation, the triple defense was silently superimposed, making it truly armed to the teeth.

At the same time, the dark gold drill bit extending from the right hammer head remained in a drilling posture—the Broken Army Chisel had not dispersed.

He gripped the hammer with both hands, his soul power surging along the secret meridian: "Mysterious Iron Ore Soul Technique!"

This is one of the Nine Gai Techniques, meaning the sharpness and firmness of a mineral vein, corresponding to the concept of rock collapse.

Driven by the cultivation technique, the hammer-shaped dark gold drill bit solidified into ancient black iron, swirling with the unique, cold light of the mineral vein.

The penetrating power of the metal element was elevated to its peak, and a sharpness that seemed to pierce through everything silently permeated the air.

boom--

The Haotian Hammer, wreathed in crimson gold and fiery flames, collided with the Xuanhuang Drill Edge, formed from dark gold.

A deafening explosion, along with the teeth-grinding sounds of metallic friction and energy annihilation, continued to tear at the scene.

The golden-red flames eroded the dark gold light, while the dark gold drill pierced the core of the Radiant Hammer's power.

The armor-piercing properties granted by the Xuan Tie Ore Soul Technique (increased by 50%) forcefully resisted the explosive high temperature of the True Yang Force.

Light fragments rained down like a storm.

The struggle for power was only a fleeting moment.

The next instant, a muffled cracking sound came from Tang Potian's arm bone, and the backlash caused blood to gush from his mouth, while the light of the Radiant Judgment suddenly dimmed.

The Xuanhuang Hammerhead drill, imbued with the power of mineral essence, precisely penetrates the weak point at the core of power.

Sizzle—Bang!

The golden-red light cluster tore apart instantly.

Tang Potian was struck as if by an invisible heavy blow, his flying figure trailing shattered flames.

His feet plowed two scorched marks into the molten ground. He knelt, leaning on his hammer, his chest heaving violently. Blood dripped from his chin onto the lava. The bone in his left arm was dull and dark, clearly indicating an injury.

However, the Blazing Sun Body greatly enhanced his defense and resistance, so he didn't cough up blood again this time.

Tang Yuchen was also forced back more than ten steps, each step shattering the green rocks.

The indestructible golden body trembled violently several times before stabilizing, the cracks in the Xuanhuang battle armor deepened, and his face turned deathly pale.

However, as the Kun Yuan Technique's soul power circulated, the surging blood and qi were quickly calmed down, and his gaze returned to its original calm.

The triple defense, combined with the armor-piercing strike, finally withstood the opponent's all-out desperate attack.

Simply put, you can't break my defenses, but I can penetrate my armor.
