"Why? How could this be?"
"No!" The lightning torrent instantly engulfed Si Yao. Although he quickly cast his defensive spell, magicians are known for high attack but low life force, so even with magic, he continued to endure intense suffering.
This was not just simple thunder and lightning; the toxins and corrosive nature it carried were lethal blows to him. From within the darkness, Si Yao's miserable screams reverberated.
Everyone watched Zhang nglong with horror, unable to comprehend why Si Yao's magic rebounded and struck himself.
"Thank you, Thor teacher!" Zhang nglong dispelled Thor's power, his aura returning to its original level.
The magic persisted on Si Yao for two minutes. When the toxins dissipated, his body had almost beco half skeletal, with marks of lightning burns clearly visible on his bones, emitting a foul charred sll.
The battered Si Yao struggled to pull out a bottle that looked like a potion, pouring it into his mouth even as so leaked from his damaged esophagus, a scene both grotesque and bizarre.
With the effect of the magic potion, his wounds began to slowly heal.
Minutes later, his body was restored, but his aura visibly weakened. If not for the strong magical defense of his robe, he would have died!
Now, the robe is almost ruined, and he has suffered severe injuries.
Regret filled his heart; he could have let Titan King finish him, but he chose to step up for face. Even breaking the World Crystal and entering the Heroic Spirit Tomb wouldn't help him seize anything from so many people.
At this mont, Zhang nglong darted out like lightning. In flight, a red and golden aura appeared around him, his breath matching that of a level nine perfect being, despite being just a level six perfect being!
Before Si Yao could react, a loud slap landed on his face, echoing across the land.
His body flew like a teor, crashing hard onto the ground.
"You lost, you owe five Tathagata Divine Palms, now four remain!" Zhang nglong dusted his hand.
Si Yao, teeth gritted, stood up, his face crooked from the slap and even his facial bones shattered, looking utterly pitiful.
Being slapped by a young man, his heart swelled with humiliation.
"Why look at like that? A bet lost is a bet owed. I said, as long as witnesses recorded it, I can use my five Tathagata Divine Palm chances anyti." Zhang nglong said while mock-punching the air, "Don't worry, I'll avoid slapping you when you're in the toilet, I can't stand the sll!"
"You..."
"What 'you'? Zhang nglong interrupted him, "You yourself acknowledged the bet, everyone heard it, don't tell you're trying to renege?"
...
"Enough!" At this mont, Titan King stepped forward.
Though Si Yao agreed to the bet, their silence implied consent; Zhang nglong won, and their personal vendetta involving five Tathagata Divine Palms wasn't stopping him from entering the Heroic Spirit Tomb!
No matter if Zhang nglong enters, with his strength, he won't get anything, most people had faith in themselves.
"We've wasted enough ti. Settle personal vendettas later; the priority is crushing the World Crystal now."
"Titan King's correct; don't lose sight of our real goal this ti!"
"Feel free to go all out; we've prepared many elixirs to restore energy and stamina, willing to share freely," the Pill Hall Master proclaid, even now winning favor. "I'm not interested in other things, but I'd appreciate it if no one competes against for items related to alchemy."
"Hahaha, the Master's generosity is such that it would be ungracious not to appreciate his kindness!"
"Indeed, we're rough folk, unenlightened in alchemy. Treasures in our hands would be wasted; items related to elixirs surely belong to the Master."
Beneficiaries of Pill Hall voluntarily backed him; the consensus was accepted without question.
"Begin!"
They leaped down before the layer of World Crystal, a thin barrier now their obstacle.
On Titan King's command, all level nine perfect beings launched fierce attacks.
Though their strength only left faint marks, relentless assault would eventually breach the barrier.
"That Titan King is brutal!" Zhang nglong remarked, watching Titan King surrounded by steaming redness, a human wrecking machine, hamring the World Crystal with sheer energy.
"Yes, truly a destructive machine!" Drake's eyes widened; each punch equaled Si Yao's Forbidden Curse power, unknown what Gift could forge such innate power.
"He's only using his physical body; if he used martial arts techniques, his combat power would multiply."
"That man is also strong," Zhang nglong observed the middle-aged man in a robe.
Unlike Titan King, he appeared ethereal, manipulating dozens of tools like spikes from afar to bombard the World Crystal, akin to a spiritual master, yet his energy resembled a cultivator's True Yuan Force, powerful beyond spiritual force.
"And there's that one."
Beside the robed man stood another in a simple tight armor, proud in the air akin to a mighty figure, casually projecting powerful energy attacks.
The trio - physical, cultivation, mystical - embodied top combat elents and were the strongest Zhang nglong noted.
Even facing a Demon General, they'd stand a chance.
"Enough, getting boring!" Zhang nglong found Si Yao in the chaos, smacking him!
Si Yao dazedly stared at Zhang nglong, bewildered.
"Nothing much, just bored, so felt like slapping you, now you owe three more."
A mont of grievance surged in Si Yao.
Zhang nglong was outright bullying!
...
With days of continuous attacks, the World Crystal finally gave a crisp sound.
"It's breaking, push harder!" Excitent surged among all.
Hours later, after Titan King's trio's charge, the World Crystal finally shattered!
At this instant, everyone lost their minds.
"Grab!"
"It's all mine!"
