138: Destructive power eliminated

The true meaning of Xuanwu True Skill is that I can hit you, but you cannot hit me!

Anyway, as long as the enemy is the one who suffers, that's fine.

Although it lost the special attribute of Turtle Shell Divine Skill, which added points when getting hit, ten times its base 30 defense is 300 points. Generally speaking, as long as he doesn't encounter a Saint-level powerhouse, using Xuanwu True Skill can basically make him invincible for a short period!

The only drawback of this Cultivation Technique is its immense consumption!

If he had an “energy bar,” then after fighting for a while, his energy bar would have already dropped by a third. Especially the 100% counter-damage move just now, which consumed a huge amount.

“In a normal battle, it actually can’t be sustained for that long… Hmm, if I want to unleash the full power of this move, I need to simultaneously use another Cultivation Technique… However, I don’t know if this Cultivation Technique can still be used while using Xuanwu True Skill!”

Tang Ku tried to activate the Cultivation Technique with a certain incantation. A Qi vortex contracted from his Dantian, and then a large amount of energy freely floating in space continuously replenished his body.

“Hmm, it really works… It seems that moves not from the System can actually still be used?” What Tang Ku was cultivating was precisely the Kunpeng Mystic Skill taught by Patriarch Bodhi.

It could quickly absorb external energy for his own use.

Of course, this energy had to be unowned, or permitted by its owner.

“There’s too little free-floating energy… It can only prevent my body’s own strength from depleting too quickly, but it’s still depleting!”

Tang Ku narrowed his eyes slightly and flew towards Aspros, punching him in the face.

At this moment, Aspros was furious, almost losing his mind. He suddenly stopped in mid-air, neither dodging nor evading, and raised both arms to block Tang Ku's fist.

Boom!

Aspros flew out like a cannonball. Although he didn't suffer much damage due to the golden saint cloth, the impact was unavoidable. In an instant, this punch had already sent him flying to a mountain outside the city. His small body crashed into the mountain, and half of the peak crumbled into rubble.

Aspros, as if disbelieving, rushed out of the pile of rubble and aimed a headbutt at Tang Ku, who was pursuing him.

Bang!

Tang Ku was thrown back to his limit by the immense force, but his hands suddenly gripped Aspros's wrists tightly, and then he returned the headbutt.

Aspros fiercely retaliated, and the two of them continuously collided four times. Just at the instant of the fifth collision, Aspros suddenly felt as if his head had been smashed by a pile driver. His mind went blank, his ears buzzed, and everything in front of him was a double image.

“How could this be… Is he accumulating power, which is why his last attack was so strong?”

Aspros kicked Tang Ku's abdomen with both feet, twisted his wrists, and suddenly broke free from Tang Ku's control, retreating a hundred meters away with lingering fear!

How could he know that in that headbutt just now, in addition to the attack power Tang Ku himself exerted, there was also his full-force attack? This was equivalent to the combined power of two people of equal strength acting on his head at the same time, which is why he suffered this degree of damage.

A bell-like sound still rang in his ears, and a purplish-blue mark had already appeared on his forehead, with a slight indentation in his frontal bone, making him look quite disheveled.

“No, I can’t fight him in close combat. I must finish this quickly!”

Aspros raised his arms, and the energy of his Cosmos began to surge. Terrifying power continuously gathered on his body, and the next strike would definitely be an earth-shattering ultimate move.

And at this moment, Tang Ku was thinking: “Not good… Only one-third of my energy is left this time. If it weren’t for the Kunpeng Mystic Skill, it would probably be completely depleted by now…”

“No, if I continue to deplete it, I’ll just be a lamb to the slaughter. Moreover, this guy seems to be charging up a big move… I can’t use this move anymore…”

Tang Ku frowned slightly, then withdrew Xuanwu True Skill. His energy consumption immediately stopped, and it even increased under the operation of Kunpeng Mystic Skill.

“It’s impossible to fully replenish it. I have to take this guy down quickly, otherwise, I’ll be the one in trouble later!”

Saying that, he had already begun to mobilize the remaining energy in his body. The Illusory Buddha Clone suddenly appeared. This time, he didn't let these Clones besiege the opponent. Instead, he directly arranged 108 Clones behind him, and then in less than a second, they instantly merged into a thirty-meter-tall golden Clone.

This was the Illusory Buddha Clone's strongest offensive move, exchanging the power of 108 Clones for one full-force attack, and this attack did not consume his own remaining energy.

“Galaxy Explosion!”

With a roar, Aspros unleashed both fists, and then Tang Ku saw a scattering of starlight, as if the entire Galaxy was pressing down. Countless stars, planets, satellites, and even meteorites and asteroids, all smashed towards the Illusory Buddha Clone's fist. The power, like a supernova explosion, once it exploded, even though it was several kilometers from the capital of Jisai Kingdom, it could sweep away most of the city.

“Heh heh, the Galaxy? Then I can only contend with you with a fist that opposes the Universe!”

“Great Wilderness Divine Fist, Third Form… Shatter Universe!”

The ripples in the air were visible to the naked eye, and then the entire space was shattered by the huge Illusory Buddha Clone's punch. The shattered spatial cracks continuously spread, meeting the Galaxy Explosion from the opposite side.

The two purely destructive forces collided, and at that instant, they actually mutually annihilated, mutually eroded, and mutually canceled each other out. In just a blink of an eye, the two energies suddenly disappeared, with no explosion sound, no light, sound, or electrical effects. Everything was silent.

This scene, let alone the astonished Aspros, even Tang Ku was dumbfounded.

The Illusory Buddha Clone behind him suddenly dissipated, turning into golden specks that floated in the air and slowly disappeared.

“Impossible!”

Aspros shrieked, “My Galaxy Explosion, after my improvements, already has the power to destroy a city with one strike! How could you annihilate it, unless you are a god… No, even a god couldn’t do that… You… Who exactly are you?!”

“Me?… I am Tang Sanzang!”

Tang Ku immediately resumed his calm and composed demeanor, saying with a playful tone, “Oh, I forgot to tell you, I can use a powerful move like that again, but I wonder if you can still use Galaxy Explosion one more time?”

Aspros finally hesitated for a moment, then said grimly, “I can use it one more time by risking my life! But… why would I still use such a desperate move?”
