Boom!!——
The building’s do could no longer withstand the fierce impact of the two supre warriors’ powers and collapsed with a crash, burying everyone within.
Bang!——
Xiong Ba’s body hit the ground heavily like a ragged sack, feeling intense pain all over, unable to tell how many bones were broken. Dust and stones pressed down like an avalanche, and large gulps of fresh blood gushed from his mouth. His arms, wrapped in the Divine Stone, almost lost all feeling, nearly numb.
Pain!
Excruciating pain!
He hadn’t felt such intense pain in so many years, so severe that his body felt like it was falling apart.
This was due to the Divine Stone shielding him from the majority of the force. Otherwise, both arms might have been shattered by now.
On the other side, in the debris-covered ruins, Jiang Dali, who had exited the Golden Bell Unbreakable Body state, was no better off. His sturdy arms were twisted and fractured, his strong body had multiple skin cracks, and blood vessels burst open, with blood gushing out from ghastly wounds.
He spat blood, looking extrely miserable, and the Great Strength Fire Qilin Saber was nowhere to be found, also leaving him out of the 10th level Demon Intent state.
Exhausted.
Jiang Dali felt his once robust body no longer belonged to him, weak and powerless, as strength vanished with the continuing blood loss.
If not for the final bit of yet-to-be-fully-absorbed thousand-year-old yellow ginseng juice sustaining his vitality, he would have perished by now.
Yet, this state of sustained vitality wouldn’t last long either...
What severely injured him was not the clash with Xiong Ba, but rather the internal damage caused by forcefully entering the Life and Death State.
A twelvefold amplification of strength, even with his Golden Bell Unbreakable Body, couldn’t withstand the violent impact of such power within his body.
Thus, the mont he entered the Life and Death State, his internal organs were torn apart by the force.
And now, even his brain was damaged, and his consciousness began to blur...
The human physique, after all, is not as resilient as a divine object.
Although Xiong Ba also amplified his power by tenfold, the main bearer of that strength was the Divine Stone, sparing him from devastating injuries by the amplified power.
But even soone as powerful as Xiong Ba, possessing the Divine Stone, couldn’t withstand Jiang Dali’s twelvefold power impact, and he was now severely injured.
Mutual Destruction!
"Boom!——!"
In the dark ruins, a majestic figure crashed through the broken walls and darted out, and his silver cloak fluttered in the moonlight like a Demon King descending to earth. His purple-red gilt robe was spotless, and his eyes sparkled with a demonic allure. He swept a glance at the positions of Jiang Dali and Xiong Ba, suddenly letting out a faint, cold laugh.
"Xiong Ba! I assisted you once, and for a second ti, you still got severely injured by that Black Wind Village Chief? Is your Heavenly Destiny now deprived of divine favor?"
At this point, recalling the Heavenly Monk Primordial Spirit that was destroyed earlier, his main consciousness couldn’t help but be influenced by Xie Tiao’s joyful sentint. His eyes gathered a chilling intent, suddenly he raised his head and laughed loudly, the echo rumbling through the mountain cliffs nearby.
Suddenly, at that mont, a sound like a wild beast’s breathing abruptly erged from the darkness, which Pang Ban instantly detected.
"Who!?"
Pang Ban’s eyes instantly brightened like lamps, and his Primordial Spirit Power quietly spread out through his eyes.
A shadow suddenly shot out from a gap in the ruins, swiftly raising their palms, and within them twin beams of red light erupted like Double Thunder Bomb, crashing fiercely toward Pang Ban.
The figured who darted out, with crimson and black alternating long hair, a face full of evil laughter, and a much rosier complexion than before, was unmistakably the Divine General!
Yet the Divine General’s presence was not mainly to attack Pang Ban...
His offensive wavered, suddenly shifting the Destructive Demon Body power to strike at the injured Xiong Ba in the ruins, diving toward Xiong Ba like a swimr plumting into water.
His target was— the Divine Stone!
Originally, he had long harbored greed for the Divine Stone.
When he seized the Divine Stone under the orders of the Immortal God, he never intended to present it to Xiong Ba.
He was well aware of the Divine Stone’s power. If he could amplify it to the maximum twentyfold power, even a god couldn’t oppose him.
However, the Divine Stone he initially seized was sealed by Shaolin. To avoid it becoming a hot potato, and to dissolve the seal through Xiong Ba’s hands, he had no choice but to go along with the plan, gifting the Divine Stone to Xiong Ba.
Later worried that Xiong Ba, once unlocking the seal, would beco too powerful for him to reclaim the Divine Stone.
Thus, he painstakingly utilized intelligence from the God-searching Palace to find Wu Ming, the forr Martial Arts Legend who once played chess against the Immortal Body and forced the Immortal God to admit defeat, intending to use Wu Ming to counter Xiong Ba. When the clam and snipe are fighting intensely, he’d play the fisherman and reap the benefits.
Such intricate scheming was nothing short of thoughtful and perilous. Every calculated target was no simple character; a slight misstep would plunge himself into a hopeless abyss, but the Divine General was no ordinary character, either?
As the Divine General turned his spearhead toward Xiong Ba at that mont, Pang Ban’s spiritual abnormal power aiming at the Divine General also suddenly redirected, attacking Xiong Ba, while his body sprang out like an eagle.
These two people were both playing the sa ga, both had their eyes on the Divine Stone in Xiong Ba’s hands.
Indeed!
Anyone with eyes could see the power of the Divine Stone in the recent battle.
Such a treasure, now that Xiong Ba is seriously injured, who wouldn’t want to claim it for themselves?
"Divine General!"
Jiang Dali quickly glimpsed the figure of the Divine General through the gaps in the rubble, his heart stirred, and without hesitation, while his consciousness was still clear, he imdiately executed the undying secret technique from the Great Strength Divine Skill’s Undying Divine Skill to enter a false death state for preservation and to recover from injuries.
He closed his eyes, his ears and nose suddenly sealed off as well, yet he didn’t feel any suffocation, the Essence Qi in his body automatically circulated, quickly entering the fetus breathing false death Realm, his spirit also ascended to a calm and unperturbed Silent Realm, gradually without thought or intent.
At that instant, a picture suddenly appeared in his mind as if by inspiration...
One of the forty-nine pictures recorded in the War God Temple, the thirty-eighth War God Relief.
In that relief, a War God stood naked, with stars densely above his head.
The relief had inscriptions saying: "The cycle of one Qi in Heaven and Earth, all flows because forms differ, creating myriad transformations and uses, yet if the source is traced, it returns to one. Therefore, by keeping the one within, how am I different from wood and stone, how am I different from the stars, uniting with one, the essence of Heaven and Earth, all for to seize."
Jiang Dali felt that his current state, his spirit had unconsciously aligned with a certain mont in the picture’s Realm, his spirit imdiately entered a tranquil spiritual realm, unable to feel the pain of his entire body, he seed as if naked with nothing, with stars above his head, like the War God in the Chronicles.
This was naturally the spiritual perception of the external night sky...
Only feeling at that mont, his spirit and the stars above collectively revolved in the boundless world, faintly sensing an imnse cold and ruthless terrifying danger, seemingly rejecting and disliking him greatly.
But in the next mont, the image of the War God erged within his spirit, like a giant standing between Heaven and Earth, instantly making that feeling of rejection disappear, as if protecting him, seizing the essence creation of Heaven and Earth to strengthen himself.
This flash of spiritual change, to the outside world, was just a mont.
Boom—
Pang Ban and the Divine General’s assault simultaneously smashed into the ruins, producing a sky-rending roar, scattering sheets of debris and rubble.
However, within the lower ruins, the dazzling radiance of the Divine Stone burst forth, turning into a shield, blocking in front of the crouched Xiong Ba.
Although their attack was blocked by the Divine Stone, it evidently caused Xiong Ba to be injured again, coughing up blood.
In such a situation, there’s no longer any hesitation.
The two didn’t hesitate, simultaneously leaping forward, one hand open with fingers spread grabbing towards the Divine Stone transford into a Divine Shield, while the other hand attacked each other, calculating against one another.
Pang Ban swiftly punched out.
The Divine General abruptly converted his palm into a knife.
In an instant, the fist and palm were re inches apart, not yet fully contacting, the fist and palm already stirred the surrounding air into a "buzzing" sound.
Boom!!—
At the mont when the fist and palm connected, the Qi Force had already stirred up dust and debris on the ground into a frenzied dance.
The palms of both n had already grasped the shield transford from the Divine Stone.
Xiong Ba appeared to feel nothing of the impending storm and pervasive killing intent.
Instead, he smiled lightly, his pale wide face suddenly exuded a kind of intimidating majesty and dominance.
An overwhelming suction force suddenly spread from the Divine Stone, causing Pang Ban and the Divine General to change their expressions, instantly realizing they were tricked, without hesitation they altered their attack, simultaneously punching Xiong Ba who was crouched down.
Bang Crash!—
Xiong Ba’s body trembled wildly, ribs and even shoulder bones were smashed, collapsing, he spewed a mouthful of blood, yet his palm instantly turned red, executing his family’s secret technique Returning Blood Hand with tenfold amplification through the Divine Stone, drawing and absorbing the power within Pang Ban and the Divine General, making their successive second wave of attack suddenly weaken by half.
"Hehehe... hahahahaha, you two truly think I would forget to guard against you? Especially you, Divine General, you also wish to benefit from the fishing?!?"
Xiong Ba laughed wildly with blood spewing, stomping his feet, his body propelled up, taking Pang Ban and the Divine General into the air, maliciously devouring.
In an instant, the three entangled and rotated into a tumult in midair.
Pang Ban and the Divine General added fists and palms, violently attacking Xiong Ba.
But now, Xiong Ba rapidly recovered after absorbing the power of these two people, his Protective Essence Qi growing stronger with the Divine Stone’s amplification, while Pang Ban and the Divine General grew weaker by the depletion, under the change in power dynamics, the tide slowly turned and even began to reverse.
Yet at this mont, an authoritative long howl and an unrestrained furious roar suddenly ca from the Heaven Mountain steps outside the building, as if two rumbling thunderclaps carried stormy changes, striking the heart, causing the sneering Xiong Ba to change color abruptly...
