52: The Power of Shattered Universe

The shadow of the giant elephant finally appeared, and its power seemed even stronger than before!

The injuries on Hercules's head were slowly recovering, but very slowly. In fact, he already felt that the attack on him was very similar to his own.

But now, he couldn't bother with that much!

The task given to him by his superiors was to eliminate this guy who was about to invade the Universe. If he couldn't complete the task, his wish would never be fulfilled.

The red giant elephant phantom was much more solidified than before. This was him truly treating Tang Ku as an evenly matched enemy, only then did he reveal all his strength.

The giant elephant seemed alive, its large trunk curled around Tang Ku's waist, lifting him up, and then slamming him heavily onto the ground of Jade Morning Palace below.

Boom!

Half of Tang Ku's body was smashed into the Bricks and stones. He couldn't help but look up at Hercules and the giant elephant chasing after him, tilted his head, thought for a moment, and said helplessly, "This attack only reached this level... 0.1 Iron Fist Points... With defense at this level, this kind of attack basically can't achieve my desired effect..."

After taking these few hits, a plus sign appeared after Tang Ku's 30 defense points, with the number 11 marked in red after the plus sign.

In other words, his current defense reached 41 points!

Turtle Shell Divine Skill: For every normal attack received, defense increases by one point. This means, the more he gets beaten, the stronger his defense becomes.

Bang... Boom!

The ground suddenly exploded into a large crater, like a meteorite impact. Tang Ku swung his right fist fiercely, directly smashing into the giant elephant phantom.

Boom!

Tenfold amplitude plus War God Gauntlets's bonus, the terrifying physical strength directly shattered the energy-composed giant elephant phantom into pieces.

Hercules had already arrived, swinging his bludgeon down as if it cost nothing. Tang Ku stood still and said helplessly, "It seems I still have to do it myself to get what I want!"

Bang!

His left palm suddenly caught the descending bludgeon. Hercules's charging figure immediately jolted, then he felt an irresistible force acting on him, and his body involuntarily fell headfirst onto the ground.

Tang Ku turned around and slammed his right fist into the side of Hercules's face. A huge force erupted, smashing his entire head into the ground.

In fact, from several battles, Tang Ku had already figured out a certain pattern of the System.

That is, these six types of data, when applied to him and to others, have completely different strengths.

Data of the same Rank, for example, if both have 30 strength points, on him it would be five or six times stronger than on an average opponent.

It's actually easy to understand. This is a matter of the intensity of these attribute points. Or, to give an example, if it's a bucket, and both are a bucket of oxygen, if one is a full bucket of liquid oxygen and the other is gaseous oxygen, their density and weight are worlds apart.

And Tang Ku's body data is like liquid oxygen, while these seemingly terrifying opponents, in fact, at most only half are liquid oxygen, and the rest are in a half-full, half-empty state.

Of course, this also depends on the person. For example, Nezha and Yang Jian before, their data strength was only slightly weaker than his, and the most terrifying one he had seen was the blackened Sun Wukong from before.

Now that he thought about it, everyone else's data, like Tang Ku's, basically showed a state of white with a faint golden hue, while Sun Wukong's body data was pure gold!

As for Hercules's data, the golden light was almost negligible. So, his strength seemed terrifying, but if they truly confronted each other head-on, it was still unknown who would win, especially since his body data was extremely unbalanced, and his flexibility was far inferior to Tang Ku's.

When Hercules finally struggled to his feet, Tang Ku had already moved behind him and delivered a fierce punch to his lower back.

Boom!

The God of Strength was enraged and swung his bludgeon down as he turned around, but Tang Ku didn't dodge or evade. Like a boxer, he delivered straight punches, hooks, and swings, unleashing a barrage on Hercules.

Hercules felt as if someone was hitting him hard with an oil hammer. Although it couldn't cause too much damage to his body, it was still dull and uncomfortably stifling. And when his bludgeon hit the opponent, the opponent seemed completely unfazed, continuing to attack him with those heavy punches.

"If it were an ordinary god, one of his punches would be enough to kill them, no wonder the superiors sent me over..."

Hercules swung his bludgeon down repeatedly. He and Tang Ku were like two pile drivers standing still, savagely attacking each other, without defense or evasion, only knowing how to attack.

If Nezha were here, he might curse the two of them as freaks.

Boom!

The bludgeon once again smashed into Tang Ku's neck, but Tang Ku was not injured. Instead, Hercules suddenly grunted and fell to the ground, clutching his neck.

"...You..."

Hercules gasped, roaring, "What sorcery did you use? You clearly didn't touch my neck, so why am I injured?"

"Get lost, only a barbarian like you would call this sorcery!"

Tang Ku swung his right fist, the War God Gauntlets hummed, solidifying. With the tenfold amplitude bonus, his fist seemed to have grown a size larger.

"Do you know, I've never met anyone who could make me use this move, and you... are the first!"

Tang Ku's fist, like a hammer, directly aimed at the side of Hercules's neck where he had just been injured and hammered down. The air seemed to distort at that moment.

Great Wilderness Divine Fist, Third Form: Shatter Universe!

Crack!

Where the fist passed, a series of black cracks were left behind... those were spatial rifts, indicating that this punch was strong enough to shatter even space.

Hercules roared, raising his bludgeon to meet it, but in the moment the fist approached, it was shattered into countless flying fragments.

With irresistible force, this punch finally landed on Hercules's neck.

With a cracking sound, muscles and bones instantly shattered. Tang Ku's punch actually smashed his entire neck into pieces, his large head flew into the sky, rolled on the ground, still showing a look of terror on his face, and his huge body crashed into the dust.

Tang Ku sighed, saying helplessly, "I can't be blamed for this, because you came to kill me, so this is your Karma. This is called the cycle of Karma... Hmm, you two stay here, I'll be right back!"

The last sentence was directed at Shi Jingmo and Brick. As soon as the two approached, they heard Tang Ku's instructions, and then the monk flew into the sky and entered the huge black cave.

What appeared before Tang Ku was the vast Universe, identical to the Universe outside Earth in his previous life.

Looking down, a sphere extremely similar to Earth was slowly rotating.

"It's just as I guessed..."

Tang Ku's eyes suddenly looked in one direction, as if deep in the Universe, a pair of identical eyes were staring at him!
