Holy Fist!

Chapter 451 The Great Battle Ends!
"Boom!"

The mountain valley, along with the area near the sea, was completely shrouded in black mist and blood-red light. The heavens and earth trembled, and the fluctuations were mysterious, as if a scene of a ghostly hell had been created in an instant, inexplicably eerie.

In an instant, everyone's gaze turned to the Cloud Mountain Valley, staring intently at the sky. There, the Myriad Souls Box floated silently, bursting forth with countless dense streams of deep black light, like Pandora's Box.

"call out……"

From inside the box, a black, carved wheel embedded in the box flew out. It rotated slightly, and all the black light emanated from the wheel, the densely packed, writhing black dots resembling countless ghosts.

The wheel swelled in the wind, suddenly enlarging, looking like both an ancient compass with engraved markings and a prehistoric altar. Something was faintly imprinted on it, only becoming barely visible after it expanded.

Countless tiny figures knelt on the ground, devoutly worshipping a demonic deity. The deity, above the dark sky, seemed to merge with the heavens, obscuring the sunlight. It lowered three scaly heads, resembling snakes but not quite, exuding extreme ferocity.

In the darkness, countless ghosts gathered in dense clusters, like a dark cloud covering the sky, extremely eerie.

"Buzz!"

The constantly rotating wheel has reached a diameter of tens of meters.

Careful observation will reveal this.

The three heads of the Black God are slightly raised in relief, and their overall hard outline is exactly the same as the recessed part of the Netherworld Mask.

"Click!"

"Click!"

Two mithril masks were quickly drawn over and instantly covered the Black God's left and right faces, fitting perfectly without any gaps.

"Boom!!!"

Instantly, the roulette wheel emitted a brilliant light.

In an instant, all the black mist and blood-red light suspended in the air from all directions were absorbed, forming an enormous vortex.

All of it was poured into the two heads of the Black God.

In an instant, it was like the finishing touch on a painting.

Beneath the mask, those two pairs of eyes gradually became intense and bright.

"Boom!"

From the depths of the world, endless vital energy surged forth, as if it had broken through the barriers of time and space and the suppression of heaven and earth, appearing in the real world.

Vast swaths of dark clouds burst through the void and crashed down. It was as if another realm, a netherworld, was about to collide directly with the world and merge into one.

"Buzz!"

Just as You Tian was about to completely break through the blockade.

"Empty, empty, empty, empty..."

Beyond this world, a colossal metallic hand, obscuring the sky and the sun, traverses the endless void. All sorts of bizarre turbulence and void forces are forcefully blasted apart by it. It locks onto You Tian, ​​attempting to capture him, possessing boundless power.

"Master, you can't stop me!"

You Tian let out a series of loud, overlapping roars.

The netherworld he was carrying exploded, with half of it actively moving forward to block the advance of the giant metal hand. At the same time, in the deeper void, a spear wrapped in jet-black spiraling ghost patterns, exuding an ancient and savage aura, its tip stained with the scarlet blood of a mythical beast.

"Ding!"

The ghost spear struck the giant metal hand, instantly causing a shockwave. The entire Deep World violently rippled, unleashing turbulent currents that could cover vast swathes of the void.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, You Tian rushed into the real world.

……

Cloud-shrouded mountains and valleys, a secluded wheel of heaven.

The Black Heaven God statue carved on it came to life in that instant, radiating an aura of boundless terror. The Black Heaven God's three heads twitched slightly, extending outwards and reaching towards the sky, looking down from above. Its extremely ferocious gaze swept across the cloud-covered valley, and its terrifying will made everyone tremble, as if they would become food for the Netherworld God at any moment.

"You did a great job..."

"I just got back and I'm already able to have a good meal."

You Tian's voice was layered and overlapping, like countless people talking at once, a mingled sound. It slowly opened its huge mouth, ready to devour everything in one gulp.

"Huh? What about the spiritual essence!?"

You Tian suddenly realized that his middle head had not been activated and remained in a lifeless, statue-like state. His endless "essence" and "qi" entered the real world, but his "spirit" was suppressed and sealed by heaven and earth, extremely repelled. Almost the next second, the divine light in You Tian's two heads dimmed drastically, the brief chaos of rules caused by his forced breakthrough of the world's barrier disappeared, and his "spirit" was completely suppressed.

"Bang!!!"

The Youtian, carrying immense power, plummeted straight down from the sky, crashing onto the coastline with a deafening roar. Instantly, a terrifying earthquake struck an area spanning hundreds of kilometers, and a massive tsunami swept in.

"Take the Heavenly Wheel with you..."

In his final moments, You Tian forcefully sent out a will, transmitting it to the mind of the Netherworld Sect within the Court of Evil Spirits. The next second, You Tian's body, radiating an aura of endless terror, along with the surrounding Netherworld world that seemed to exist alongside it, were all sucked back into the roulette wheel, transforming back into the mythical statue on it.

"call out!"

The Netherworld Sect rushed out, flashing rapidly, and grabbed the Netherworld Wheel.

With a hum, the roulette wheel shrank back to the size of a palm and was put into his pocket.

"Bang!!!"

Behind him, Ouyang Ming suddenly unleashed a palm strike, and nine massive, winding lightning dragons, blotting out the sky, coalesced into one and roared wildly as they charged out. In that instant, it was as if a mountain range of lightning crashed down upon the Underworld Sect.

"puff!"

Mingzong suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

"call out!"

His back was completely blackened as he was violently sent flying backward, crashing into the White Bird cruise ship of the Demon's Court. With a deafening roar, the over 100-meter-long metal-framed luxury cruise ship exploded instantly, turning into countless fragments.

"retreat!"

In the sea, the Underworld Sect rose into the sky once more and issued its orders.

Immediately, the combatants of the Demon Court ceased their engagement with the enemy without hesitation and sped towards the coastline. From a distance, they resembled a vast swarm of black ants, well-trained, converging on their distant anthill.

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

Not far away, the Ya Sect and the Yu Sect also unleashed their power simultaneously, repelling their opponents. Then, their figures flickered, and they converged towards the Ming Sect.

Ouyang Ming hovered in mid-air, gazing at the distant coastline.

A Grandmaster is extremely difficult to kill unless they fight to the death. Only by having a numerical advantage, with more Grandmasters, can one claim a 100% chance of killing one. But this time, the numbers on both sides are equal.

"Unfortunately, the two members of the association, one and a half years ago, and the other three months ago, began their seclusion to suppress the intrusion of the root power behind the forbidden secret martial arts. I'm the only Grandmaster who can move freely. Even with the Crane Sect and the affiliated Holy Sect Group, we're barely on par with the Court of Evil Spirits..."

Ouyang Ming's mind raced, and he felt a pang of regret.

But the next second, he still took the initiative without hesitation.

"You two, we absolutely cannot let the Court of Demons escape so easily!"

"Prison Master was already seriously injured..."

"Let's give chase together and make them pay an even greater price!" Immediately.

Two streaks of light flew out from the left and right sides, keeping pace with the rapidly flashing Ouyang Ming, and the three of them sped towards the depths of the sea.

……

Half a minute later.

In the desolate and ravaged Yunshan Valley, a scene of utter chaos and devastation unfolded.

From the rocky ruins, a figure slowly emerged and stood on the uneven ground. He gazed into the distance, taking a deep look at the coastline.

The waves there were still surging, crashing against the earth.

Bai Xiao turned his head slightly and exhaled a breath of scorching air.

He reached into his robes, and a ghostly mask, its surface shimmering with light, was revealed in the sunlight. It was blue-faced, fanged, and exceptionally ferocious. He glanced down at it with a strange look, and with a thought, a vast lake filled with spiritual energy appeared before him, frozen in a state of deathly stillness.

Bai Xiao also sensed You Tian's aura from it.

"The power of You Tian has entered the real world, but its 'god' has been sealed and suppressed by heaven and earth. The Mother of Masks in my hand is like a key; only with it can the seal be broken! In other words, this Netherworld Mask can directly lead to the place where the spiritual power of You Tian, ​​the third seat of the Court of Evil Spirits, is sealed..."

His eyes flickered as he muttered to himself.

"If I could find a way to absorb and devour this spiritual power, just like I absorbed the grandmaster's insights from the Glazed Enlightenment Lotus Platform, my willpower might increase dramatically!"

Bai Xiao took a deep breath and thought to himself.

He raised his head slightly, as if suddenly realizing something, and muttered to himself.

"Oh right, the forbidden secret weapon!"

Bai Xiao felt there was a certain possibility of success. His spiritual martial arts had not yet fused with the forbidden techniques; if he incorporated extraordinary wisdom, it might mutate into a divine skill with the effects he desired. After pondering for a while, Bai Xiao put the Netherworld Mask into his robes and then quickly found an open space.

He sat cross-legged.

He took out the pills and swallowed them to recover.

Ahead, large swaths of black information were scrolling down.

[Your profession "Martial Arts Master" has been upgraded to +18050 experience!]

Your profession "Martial Arts Master" has reached LV.3!

A glance, then a fixed gaze.

【Profession: Martial Arts Master LV.3 (9550/16000)】

(Extractable)

In this battle, the Martial Arts main class gained nearly 20,000 experience points, directly leveling up from level two to level three, with the level three progress bar already more than halfway complete. Only a little over 6,000 experience points are needed to level up.

The reason Bai Xiao had so many experience points was inseparable from his battle with the two Grandmasters; killing the four peak sect leaders was just a bonus. Fighting a Grandmaster naturally yielded extremely rich experience points.

"The martial arts master's professional advancement is imminent."

"Ultimate enhancement is just around the corner!"

Bai Xiao's eyes flashed, and then he summoned the cheat without hesitation.

"Dark red!"

"Extract potential points".

With a thought, a hazy, sunset-like red aura enveloped him, completely covering his entire martial arts main profession. A mysterious power descended, blurring his status bar as experience points were continuously extracted and rapidly converted into other mysterious energies. This process lasted for over half a minute before stopping.

A moment later, the vision became clear.

[Dark Red Modifier]

Potential Points: 402.8 → 822.8

With a total of 420 potential points, plus the 400+ that were already in the Dark Red Modifier, White Owl's total potential points reached 820.

That should be the most ever.

He took a deep breath, feeling that things should be going well from here on out.

Whether it's the brand-new forbidden martial arts weapon of the spiritual type or the Water and Fire Immortal Robe, the reward for winning the martial arts tournament, both should be able to be upgraded to the perfect level.

Time flew by, and about half an hour later...

Cloudy mountain valley.

The three Grandmaster-level figures who had given chase have finally returned.

Ouyang Ming, who was leading the group, descended from the sky and arrived at the place that should have been the battle square. At this moment, Bai Xiao was healing his wounds there.

"President Ouyang, how is the situation?"

He stood up, his condition much better now. The flesh-repairing and bone-healing effects of the Huangting Sutra were constantly at work. As long as Bai Xiao's spirit continued to recover, his body could continue to heal, allowing him to quickly recover from his near-death state of severe injury, making his survival ability incredibly strong.

"The three of us joined forces and chased him all the way from the East China Sea to the depths of the ocean, ignoring the other two Grandmasters. We finally intercepted Yu Zong. He was already severely injured, so naturally he was no match for the three of us combined, and I personally killed him!"

Ouyang Ming spoke up.

He turned to look at Bai Xiao and continued speaking.

"Master Bai, you played a crucial role in the victory against the Prison Sect. On behalf of the Martial Arts Association, I will reward you with a generous gift afterward. It will be delivered along with the opportunity to study the Enlightenment Tea Tree."

Ouyang Ming knew perfectly well that if Bai Xiao hadn't used the power of a forbidden martial art to forcibly hold off Yu Zong at the beginning, he would have had a hard time injuring him in such a short time. All subsequent developments were based on Yu Zong's pre-existing injuries, which gradually worsened until he was finally intercepted and killed.

"Then, thank you very much, Chairman Ouyang."

Bai Xiao raised his hand in a fist salute and spoke.

……

Time flew by, and two hours passed.

It's already past 7 p.m., and the twilight is pitch black.

In the Yunshan Valley, a large number of members of the Martial Arts Association were handling the aftermath. Meanwhile, many participants in the martial arts tournament, still shaken, headed towards Donghai City. With various powerful factions stationed in the city, it was clearly much safer.

President Ouyang, Crane Sect, Flying Upgrade Mech.

Three grandmaster-level figures also arrived in Donghai City, seemingly discussing something, probably related to the arrival of You Tian from the Evil Ghost Court.

At the same time, at the Dragon Elephant Martial Arts School, behind the Elephant Mountain.

At the mountaintop where the wind howled, a tall figure stood silently.

After nearly three hours of rest, Bai Xiao finally recovered, but his energy and spirit were still severely depleted, and even taking many pills couldn't replenish his losses. Fortunately, just now, President Ouyang sent someone to deliver another golden pill. After taking it, Bai Xiao finally recovered.

His gaze drifted to the brightly lit city center ten kilometers away.

A right hand flip.

"Shh!"

A secret martial arts manual, exuding an aura of forbidden power, floated in the palm of his hand.

Unparalleled external skills, ethereal robes of water and fire!
