Perfect: I am Shi An from Shicun, and I am Huang’s brother!

Chapter 207 The Place of Tempering
"Break it for me!"

With a roar, Shi An moved like lightning, instantly appearing in front of a stone statue. He threw a punch, the wind from the punch howling, carrying the power of chaos, directly blasting the stone statue backward.

Even so, the stone body did not collapse. Instead, it emitted more black mist, which condensed into a giant black hand that reached out to grab Shi An.

"Humph!"

Seeing this, Shi An couldn't help but snort coldly. Instead of retreating, he advanced, quickly forming hand seals. The illusory image of the Chaos Bell shone brightly, and the bell tolled even more urgently. Under the vibration of the bell, the black hand actually shattered inch by inch.

At the same time, Shi An flashed behind another stone statue, kicked it, and sent it crashing into a pillar of the hall with a dull thud.

Shi An, with his sharp eyes, moved quickly through the hall, engaging in fierce battles with several stone statues.

In an instant, the hall was filled with flashing light and overflowing energy.

The fierce battle continued, causing the entire black ancient palace to tremble violently, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.

Inside the hall, Shi An fought with increasing ferocity, constantly changing his moves and unleashing the full power of the Chaos Bell's phantom. The bell's tolling was sometimes melodious, sometimes rousing, and each ring caused the stone statue to pause briefly in its movements.

"This kid is so strong! I really underestimated him before!"

Bird Lord's eyes were filled with amazement as he stared intently at the battle in the hall.

Grandpa Jingbi nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "Indeed, this child is exceptionally talented and has extraordinary potential. His future achievements are absolutely limitless."

"Boom!"

The illusory image of the Chaos Bell vibrated once more, like a great bell, echoing for a long time in the ancient hall. In addition, a strange rhythm contained within it made the movements of several stone statues become increasingly sluggish.

Seeing this, Shi An immediately got the idea. Seizing the opportunity, he moved like a ghost between the stone bodies, his hands moving quickly. Rays of chaotic light shot out like sharp blades, accurately hitting the vital points of the stone bodies.

"boom!"

However, the stone statue did not back down; instead, it became even more frenzied, and the black mist around it grew thicker, eventually engulfing the entire ancient temple in the blink of an eye.

This sight made Shi An feel even more pressured, but he was not afraid at all. Instead, he took a deep breath, and his divine light circulated wildly within him, with chaotic power surging out like a tide.

He quickly formed hand seals, and mysterious runes appeared in front of him, merging with the power of chaos to form a huge energy shield.

"Bang bang bang..."

The stone statues' attacks rained down on the energy shield like a storm, creating deafening roars, but the energy shield remained as solid as a rock, steadily blocking all the attacks.

Shi An's eyes gleamed with brilliant light. In the chaos of endless black mist and attacks, he was like an immortal war god, with chaotic light flowing around him, resisting the erosion of that demonic force.

"Hmph, you think you can stop me from obtaining the precious technique!"

Suddenly, Shi An let out a cold snort, which resounded like rolling thunder in the ancient hall. At the same time, his hands formed a seal again, and the illusory image of the Chaos Bell became more and more solid, and the sound of the bell became more and more intense, like invisible blades cutting through the surrounding black mist.

This scene seemed to have caught the stone statue off guard, making the attack even more ferocious.

"Crack!"

Suddenly, cracks appeared on the stone statues, and black mist gushed out from them, emitting sharp roars, as if it would completely engulf Shi An.

"These guys..."

This scene caused Shi An to frown slightly. Then, the divine light within his body circulated wildly, and the power of chaos surged within him like a torrent.

His hands moved rapidly, and streaks of chaotic light, like dragons and snakes, clashed with the stone statue's attack, producing deafening roars.

"Boom!" The black ancient palace trembled violently, as if it would collapse at any moment.

The battle continued and intensified, but Shi An did not seem to be in a hurry to seize the two bone books. Instead, he kept fighting with the stone statue. Even though he was close to the bone books several times and could have obtained them easily, he ignored them and focused on the battle.

Bird Master and Master Jingbi watched from outside the hall with their brows twitching. They knew very well how precious the techniques recorded in those two bone books were, but Shi An was completely unaware of it, and was completely absorbed in the fierce battle with the stone statue.

His figure appeared and disappeared in the hall, moving like a ghost. With each move and each confrontation, he became more and more proficient in using his own strength, as if he had reached a new level. Wherever the chaotic light passed, space was distorted.

“This kid…”

Such a scene moved the bird to sigh, and the bird on its shoulder also chirped in amazement at Shi An.

At the same time, Grandpa Jingbi unconsciously stroked his chin, his gaze deep and slightly dazed: "This seems to be the original purpose of this place."

As time went on, the battle between Shi An and the stone statues reached a fever pitch.

As if sensing Shi An's power, the stone statues began to unite and unleash an even more powerful attack.

In an instant, black mist surged, demonic power raged, and the entire ancient palace was shrouded in a terrifying atmosphere.

Upon seeing this, Shi An's gaze sharpened, and the chaotic light around him shone even brighter, like a burning sun, dispelling much of the gradually thickening black mist.

"when!"

A melodious bell rang out, and the phantom of the Chaos Bell hovered above his head, as if it could purify all evil in the world.

Despite being in this chaotic and demonic ancient palace, Shi An's expression grew increasingly resolute.

The main purpose of this battle was not just to obtain the two bone books, but also to challenge one's own limits.

After his battle with Shi Hao, he realized that it was almost impossible to find a peerless expert in the lower realm who could make him go all out. Even if he went to the upper realm, the Ten-Crown King and the Immortal would not necessarily make him fight to the death with all his might.

Therefore, after watching Liu Shen's battle with a group of sect leaders, he suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a suitable place in the Void God Realm. That's why he asked Shi Hao for those fragments of the bronze book, all for the sake of having a thrilling battle.

But now, it hasn't disappointed him.

"This place truly lives up to its reputation as the location where Immortal Kings are sealed; its power is indeed remarkable!"

The light in Shi An's eyes grew brighter, and as he moved, the chaotic light swept outwards like a surging tide, colliding fiercely with the combined attack from the stone statue.

"boom!"

The deafening roar was like a thunderclap, and the aftershocks of energy spread out like ripples, making the surrounding black mist even more chaotic.

Shi An swayed slightly, but quickly regained his balance. His eyes were sharp as he stared intently at the several stone statues that had been joined together, searching for their weaknesses.

The stone statues seemed to have sensed Shi An's intentions, and their attacks became even more ferocious and unpredictable.

The black mist on their bodies constantly changed shape, sometimes turning into sharp swords, sometimes into giant beasts, attacking Shi An from all directions.

Shi An moved nimbly through the dense attacks, constantly unleashing the power of chaos to counterattack.

He would sometimes throw a punch, the force of which carried chaotic power, shattering the incoming black mist swords; at other times, he would kick out with a force as heavy as a mountain, dispersing the black mist that had transformed into a giant beast.

And so, as time passed, in the midst of fierce battles, Shi An became increasingly clear about the limits of his own strength, and he became more and more adept at using them.
