……

Three seconds passed in the silent struggle between the two sides.

Seeing that the giant hammer could not advance an inch no matter what it did, and that its own light began to flicker due to the lack of follow-up power.

Xiao Yi finally made a move.

She slightly raised her right arm, and with the tip of her fair, jade-like index finger, she gently touched the light membrane of the spacetime prison that stretched across the sky.

Buzz! An extremely faint spatial ripple spread out from the point of contact between the fingertips.

At the same time, the light membrane, bearing the immense pressure of the giant hammer, like a bowstring stretched to its limit, suddenly contracted inward, accumulating unimaginable recoil force. The next moment—

When——!
It wasn't a loud bang, but a dull thud that could stop your heart.

The Heavenly Emperor's Hammer, as heavy as a mountain, was triggered by this light touch!

The entire massive hammer was as if it had been violently swung up and lashed upwards by an invisible giant hand, then suddenly bounced backwards and upwards!
However, this was the final blow that Tang Chen, Xue Shiming, and Ning Zhongtian had forcibly unleashed at the cost of burning themselves.

The hammer, already at its limit due to the combined impact of overload operation and the recoil from the spacetime cage, was thrown back the instant it was sent flying.

It bounced upwards by less than ten meters—crack—bang—!!!
Countless dense, spiderweb-like golden cracks spread wildly across the surface of the massive hammer!

The five-colored celestial feather pattern of the swan and the seal of the glazed sacred heart engraved on it were the first to dim and shatter, turning into scattered fragments of light.

Immediately afterwards, the entire tangible soul power hammer disintegrated.

Transformed into countless golden-red light spots, mixed with violent residual energy, they helplessly dissipated and vanished in all directions!
"Pfft—!" "Pfft—!" "Pfft—!"

The moment the giant hammer collapsed, the three people below were struck as if by a heavy blow, and their soul power circuits instantly backfired!
Three mouthfuls of bright red blood gushed out simultaneously, tracing dazzling arcs in the air before crashing heavily to the ground.

The connection has been completely lost!

The three of them staggered apart.

Tang Chen braced himself against the cold, cracked ground with both hands to keep from falling headfirst.

He lowered his head, his body covered in blood, bright red blood dripping down his arms and cheeks, pooling into small puddles on the ground.

His heavy, labored breathing was like a broken bellows, each breath straining against his battered and bruised body.

The moment Ning Zhongtian hit the ground, he completely lost the strength to stand.

His kneeling body swayed, then he fell backward weakly, eventually lying on the ground in a "spread-eagle" position.

His chest heaved violently, he gasped for breath, and stared blankly at the sky that was gradually turning blue again, as if he had not yet recovered from the huge shock and defeat.

He didn't want to think about anything, he just wanted to sleep.

Only Xue Shiming.

As the excruciating pain and weakness from the shattered formation and the reversed flow of qi and blood swept over his entire body, he bit his tongue so hard that a salty, metallic taste filled his mouth.

The excruciating pain instantly brought out the last vestige of consciousness!
His knees trembled violently, and he was completely unaware that blood was seeping out.

As the captain of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team, and as a prince of the Heaven Dou Empire!
He straightened his back with all his might, using the last bit of strength in his body to stabilize his swaying figure, like a pine tree in the wind, struggling to stay upright.

They did not fall, nor did they kneel.

……

When the golden and red flames dissipated, revealing the clearly visible blood-red soul ring suspended atop the throne, and the slender new vine quietly unfurling its verdant branches amidst the aftershocks of the violent energy, the entire arena utterly lost its order.

Without any prior preparation or gradual build-up, an unimaginable wave of sound, a massive roar like a tsunami, erupted from hundreds of thousands of throats, instantly filling the entire arena dome.

The sound was so dense, mixed, and high-pitched that everyone at the center of the sound source experienced only a continuous, sharp tinnitus, as if being crushed by immense pressure.

People could see each other's lips moving excitedly, yet they could barely hear any specific words. However, without needing to hear them, a few words, destined to be deeply imprinted, resonated in that boiling air:
"Red Soul Ring!"

"My God, how is this possible?!"

"How could a 100,000-year-old spirit ring appear on her?!"

"A 100,000-year-old soul skill! I didn't lose unjustly."

"You were just crying and wailing a moment ago, and now you think you're not wronged?"

"Nonsense, can 1000 gold coins compare to a 100,000-year spirit ring that you might only see once in your life? From now on, I am also one of the chosen ones who has seen a red spirit ring."

"Wow, today's shock is more than ten years ago."

"Didn't you say you've eaten more salt than I've walked roads? Tell me, how come you've eaten more?!"

"This...is the seventh vine?"

"Why does that tree look so ordinary, like a common willow branch?"

"Ordinary? Open your eyes and look closely! Of the other six giant vines, which are as imposing as mountains and peaks, apart from the one supporting the throne, which of the other five doesn't subtly exude an awe?"

Just how many kinds of vines does she have?

"Are you worried about the vines right now? Focus on the spirit rings and spirit skills first, okay?!"

"What's there to say about spirit rings? They're only 100,000 years old. As for spirit skills, I don't understand them."

"I don't understand it either; I guess only those big shots can understand it."

"Oh my god, she just mentioned a time-space prison and time-space attributes, didn't you guys hear that?"

"Wait... a sixth spirit ring?! She's a six-ring Spirit Emperor?!"

"Wasn't it said that she possesses twin martial souls?"

"Idiot! Did you see the seven vines? Have you ever heard of a person having seven martial souls?"

"Ignore him. A Soul Emperor! He's actually a Soul Emperor! This is comparable to Qian Daoliu, the Martial Soul Saint who burst onto the scene in the last competition!"

……

In the Oasis team's private room, Shanwei's mouth involuntarily opened, his heart churning with turmoil, and only one thought remained: "My God... is my sister-in-law going to tear the sky apart before she's done with it?"

Long Xiaoqian didn't say anything, but just let out a long, long sigh.

Chen Haokai, standing beside him, spoke with barely concealed awe and a hint of lingering fear: "Boss, you've been able to compete against such a monster. You'll have something to brag about for the rest of your life."

……

On the high platform, most of the titled princes who had been startled and stood up earlier had now sat back down.

Lei Xing slowly sat down, exhaling a long breath, but he didn't make a sound.

The entire high platform area was shrouded in an unusual tranquility. The shock from before seemed to have settled into deeper contemplation and suppressed bewilderment, so much so that no one was in a hurry to break the almost stagnant silence.

……

Inside the VIP box, She Yaolei and Qian Gu Hongying sat facing each other, the faint light emanating from the huge floor-to-ceiling screen illuminating their solemn faces.

After a long silence, Qian Gu Hongying gave a bitter smile: "Old She...you're right."

"She is not just a matter concerning the Northern Sea Star... Now it seems that she is a figure who needs to be reconsidered and dealt with in terms of the future structure of the entire Spirit Hall."

She Yaolei showed no smugness; he muttered under his breath, "Damn it, I'm such a jinx..."

"This is huge, absolutely huge! A six-ring, 100,000-year-old soul ring... This is unprecedented in history!"
