386: One punch shatters the heavens!

Myriad Dao Academy, Training Ground.

Chu Wujiu was sweating profusely, wielding a Profound Iron Great Halberd that whipped up Gale Force Winds like soaring dragons.

Suddenly, his movements halted without warning. Then, he abruptly looked up toward the distant horizon.

What is it?

Li Xuan, who was regulating his breath nearby, noticed his abnormality and asked as he opened his eyes.

I can't quite say... I just suddenly got a very strange feeling.

He paused, his tone becoming slightly more certain.

Moreover, someone used the 'heaven-opening battle halberd'.

Hearing this, Li Xuan relaxed slightly: "Isn't that normal?"

"There's more than one person in your Chu Family who Cultivates the 'heaven-opening battle halberd'."

"It's different." Chu Wujiu shook his head, but didn't immediately explain, his brow furrowing even deeper.

The phantom of the heaven-opening battle halberd could only be summoned by direct descendants of the Chu Family; more critically—

Every direct descendant of the Chu Family had a unique 'Opening Heaven Imprint' branded deep within their Divine Soul since childhood.

That was not just the token for summoning the halberd's phantom, but more like a proprietary 'line' connecting them to that supreme sacred artifact.

That momentary tremor was not as simple as sensing a halberd phantom being summoned.

"Never mind, maybe I've been training too hard, and the blood rushing to my head caused an illusion."

Chu Wujiu shook his head, then took a deep breath and shouted like a great bell: "Good!"

"Add another hour of training!"

He added more training even though he thought he had an illusion?

Li Xuan beside him shook his head, asked no further questions, and closed his eyes again, sinking his consciousness into his spiritual platform.

He intended to forge a unique Divine Ability Sword.

Simultaneously, deep within the Chu Family's Forbidden Ground.

Ancient Bloodline Star Charts flowed along the walls of a secret chamber. At this moment, one light pattern was faintly flickering, pointing to a distinct name—

Chu Wujiu.

The air was thick with gravity.

"Just now, the phantom of the heaven-opening battle halberd manifested in the Qin Family's territory," an Elder with white hair and beard, whose gaze was as sharp as an eagle's, spoke gravely.

Although it was only a phantom, its might was less than one ten-thousandth of the true body's power.

But it was, after all, a great killing weapon, and manifesting the phantom of a sacred artifact was forbidden in the territories of the Qin, Ji, and Li Families.

This action undoubtedly violated the prohibition.

"That brat Chu Wujiu, even if he is friendly with the Qin Family Divine Son, should not disregard the prohibition so blatantly."

"Immediately send a message to ask what is going on and administer appropriate punishment."

"At the same time, send someone to the Qin Family..."

Several orders instantly transformed into streaks of light and shot out of the Forbidden Ground.

However, less than half the time it takes to brew tea had passed.

"Chu Wujiu... has been at the Academy the entire time, never leaving, nor has he summoned the halberd's phantom."

"What?!"

The Elders looked at each other, seeing the shock, confusion, and a trace of indescribable... dread in the others' eyes.

It wasn't Chu Wujiu??

The scene shifted back to the battlefield over Qiyun City.

In the sky above, three Destructive Sword Lights, carrying the intent of myriad techniques, were slashing down towards Qin Hongchen below!

Before the swords arrived, the pure, ultimate intent of 'Slicing' had already sealed off the space below layer by layer.

An ordinary Cultivator would have already had their Divine Soul shattered, either fleeing or desperately defending.

But Qin Hongchen did not.

Not only did he not evade, but he stepped forward, his crimson eyes erupting with madness and resolve like a volcano!

"Myriad Transformation Law—"

He roared, every word seeming to resonate with the Laws of Heaven and Earth.

"Great!"

As the word fell, the towering 'Formless Sight, My Sole Truth' Dharma Idol behind him inflated with a whoosh, instantly growing by another layer out of thin air!

Its majestic body nearly rivaled that of a mountain.

The [Myriad Reflections Mirror of All Beings] behind its back simultaneously blazed with light!

The mirror light flashed, copying this technique!

"Great!"

The mirror light flashed again!

"Great!"

"Great!"

"Great!"

Five more flashes of mirror light, so fast they left only afterimages, successively swept across!

Every flash caused the already enormous Dharma Idol to surge and expand again!

After five flashes, the 'Formless Sight, My Sole Truth' had expanded to an inconceivable degree, as if an ancient primeval giant had set foot in the mortal realm once more.

The Formless Pure Radiance flowing around the Dharma Idol was now as dense as solidified divine light, making the heavens and earth lose their color.

This was still not the end.

Qin Hongchen looked up, fixing his gaze on the three descending sword lights, and uttered True Words again:

"Myriad Transformation Law—"

"Fist!"

The right arm of the 'Formless Sight, My Sole Truth' suddenly raised, its five fingers closing into a fist.

Endless Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, vast and magnificent Dharma Idol power, along with all the rage, pain, unwillingness, and desire for destruction that Qin Hongchen poured out at this moment, frantically converged toward that giant fist!

At the tip of the fist, space directly collapsed into a dark vortex that swallowed light.

The mirror light flashed ruthlessly again!

One flash!

Two flashes!

Three flashes!

Four flashes!

Five flashes!

Five copies, five layers of stacking!

That fist, which had already condensed destructive power capable of overturning heaven and earth, saw its power climb madly in a geometric progression after being enhanced five times by the mirror light!

The dark vortex surrounding the fist expanded violently, and terrifying shrieks capable of returning all things to ruin could faintly be heard from within.

There was no roar, no yell.

The giant fist, layered with five times the mirror light, blasted out fiercely!

Where the fist passed, space silently annihilated, leaving behind a pure trajectory of nothingness that pierced through heaven and earth.

It carried all of Qin Hongchen's madness and despair, striking back against the firmament in the most primal and violent manner!

"Explode—!"

The fist collided head-on with the three judgmental Dao Swords!

There was no stalemate.

The moment they made contact.

Crack—!!!

The three Dao Swords, imbued with the might of Tribulation Slicing, actually shattered instantly, spiderweb cracks appearing all over their bodies, as if glazed pottery had struck divine iron!

Immediately following, they completely exploded!

The myriad sword light fragments had not yet scattered before they were completely swallowed and crushed by the vortex of destruction carried by the fist, turning into nothingness.

The aftershock spread out like a ring, sweeping across the firmament.

One punch shattered the heavens!

The aftershock had not yet dissipated; only pure booming sounds and shattered spiritual tides remained in the world.

The Dharma Idol of 'Formless Sight, My Sole Truth', expanded to its absolute limit, began to rapidly wither, shrinking drastically as if completely drained.

Qin Hongchen's face was pale, but his crimson eyes were locked tightly onto Qin Wangchuan in the distance.

"My punch is called [Myriad Transformation · Heaven Pillar]!"

His voice was hoarse, yet carried a near-manic sense of catharsis and provocation.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, the meaning was clear.

If you can borrow it, then try borrowing this!

This was not a single technique.

It was the ultimate punch resulting from the Fusion of the Dao Law, the Life-Bound Technique, and the Heaven and Earth Law—Three Laws Unified!

Although this punch was indeed impossible to borrow.

But—

Qin Wangchuan slowly raised his hand.

The wound on his left arm split open, blood dripping from his fingertips, his expression pale from intense pain and exhaustion.

Yet, the giant Wheel of Destiny behind him opened halfway again.

"I borrow the Law—Great."
