346: Crush the three prides!

The Mu Zun's words were soft, yet they exploded in everyone's ears like a clap of thunder.

Fated to be mine?

These simple four words carried a calmness that took everything for granted.

It was as if he was merely stating an established fact, completely ignoring the fierce competition among the five top Prodigies present.

Bai Shuo was the first to erupt in fury. His personality was inherently domineering and unruly; when had he ever been treated with such contempt? Even though

he felt the unfathomable pressure emanating from the Mu Zun, the White Tiger Divine Son's pride would not allow him to retreat.

"Imperial Son of the Qin Clan? What arrogance! Take a punch from me first!"

Bai Shuo roared. The White Tiger Bloodline within him boiled, and the Geng Metal Killing Power, suppressed by the Secret Realm, was forcibly condensed onto his right fist.

A blinding white-gold light erupted from the tip of his fist, resembling a miniature star, carrying a terrifying aura capable of tearing apart all things as it smashed toward the Mu Zun.

Wherever the fist wind passed, the space emitted an unbearable hum, and the mirror-like Dao patterns on the ground shattered inch by inch.

Facing a punch capable of severely wounding an ordinary Profound Venerable, the Mu Zun's eyes remained as calm as an ancient well.

He didn't even make any move to defend or dodge, merely raising his right hand slowly.

His five fingers were long and slender, his skin white and luminous. He pressed lightly toward the world-destroying fist edge.

There was no earth-shattering collision sound, nor any shockwave of rampant energy.

Under everyone's disbelieving gaze, the White Tiger Killing Fist, which was powerful enough to shatter mountains and annihilate stars,

instantly melted away the moment it touched the Mu Zun's palm, like ice and snow encountering the scorching sun.

That incomparably violent Geng Metal Killing Qi silently dissolved and disintegrated, failing to even stir up a single ripple.

The Mu Zun's palm seemed to contain the Power of Grand Beginning from before the heavens and earth were separated, encompassing everything and dissolving everything.

The savage grin on Bai Shuo's face instantly froze, replaced by extreme horror.

He felt as if his full-strength punch had struck an endless Abyss of Chaos; all his power was swallowed, broken down, and vanished without a trace.

The force of the rebound caused intense pain in his arm and churned his blood and Qi. He couldn't help but stagger back several steps, each step leaving a deep imprint on the hard ground.

"What?!"

Yan Yuchen and Liu Xiangling's pupils contracted sharply, and massive waves surged in their hearts.

They understood Bai Shuo's strength perfectly; even they would have to treat that punch with caution.

It was absolutely impossible to receive it so casually, let alone in such a manner... almost "erasing" it!

Just how strong was this Qin Zun? Was he completely unaffected by the Secret Realm's suppression?

"Attack together!"

Yan Yuchen made the decision instantly. If they fought alone, none of them would likely be a match for this Qin Zun.

He rapidly moved his hands and spat out a mouthful of Natal Pill Qi. The illusory projection of the Medicinal Pill suddenly solidified slightly.

It transformed into a streak of light. It wasn't an attack, but instantly submerged into him, Liu Xiangling, and Bai Shuo, who had just stabilized his footing.

"Three-Origin Augmentation Pill!" Yan Yuchen shouted.

Immediately, the aura of Bai Shuo, Liu Xiangling, and Yan Yuchen himself surged dramatically. Although their Laws and Divine Abilities were still suppressed,

their Physical Body strength, speed, and reaction time all received a significant boost.

This was a Secret Pill Art passed down by the Pill King Pavilion, capable of stimulating potential within a short period.

Having received the augmentation, Liu Xiangling unleashed her killing move without hesitation.

The faint Phoenix Flame surrounding her suddenly shot up into the sky, forming the illusory image of a massive Fiery Divine Phoenix. Although it wasn't as solid or grand as outside the Secret Realm,

the scorching heat and noble, awe-inspiring aura still caused the temperature of this gray-white space to rise sharply.

The Divine Phoenix let out a long cry, spread its wings, and dove toward the Mu Zun with the intent to burn everything in the Eight Desolations!

At the same time, Bai Shuo suppressed the shock in his heart. His tiger eyes turned crimson, and he fully activated his Bloodline Power.

He let out a deafening tiger roar toward the sky, White Tiger Divine Runes appeared on his body surface, his muscles bulged, and he seemed to transform into a Humanoid Ferocious Tiger.

He pounced toward the Mu Zun again, launching both fists simultaneously. Fist shadows filled the sky, and every punch contained the Geng Metal Sharp Qi capable of collapsing everything, sealing off all of the Mu Zun's retreat paths.

Yan Yuchen positioned himself slightly behind, with faint blue Pill Fire flickering on his fingertips. The flame looked weak but emitted a coldness that could freeze the Divine Soul—the Nether Soul-Devouring Flame.

He flicked his fingers repeatedly, sending out streaks of faint blue fire that silently coiled toward the Mu Zun like venomous snakes, specializing in attacking the Divine Soul, making them extremely malicious.

The three great Prodigies, having set aside their previous grudges, launched a combined attack.

Even outside the Secret Realm, this combined assault would be enough to make veteran Profound Venerable experts change their expressions and fall in defeat immediately.

Qin Tianhai and Qin Xinghe watched, their hearts surging with emotion yet secretly alarmed.

They asked themselves, if they were in the same position, facing the combined might of these three, they probably wouldn't last more than a few rounds before being defeated.

Could the Imperial Son... block this?

Faced with this overwhelming combined strike, capable of instantly killing any contemporary Prodigy, the Mu Zun finally moved.

He still stood in place, but the faint Grand Beginning Chaos Qi surrounding him began to circulate slowly.

He slightly raised his left hand, joining his fingers like a sword, and lightly sliced toward the diving illusory image of the Fiery Divine Phoenix.

There was no dazzling light, nor was there Sword Qi crisscrossing the air.

But the moment his fingertip sliced down, the awe-inspiring Fiery Divine Phoenix seemed to be split open by an invisible Heavenly Chasm, letting out a mournful cry.

Its massive body cleanly split in half down the middle.

The scorching Phoenix Flame quickly dimmed and extinguished as if it had met its nemesis, eventually dissipating into specks of flowing light.

It was as if he had sliced open not a Divine Ability, but the Origin Law that constituted the Divine Ability itself.

Simultaneously, the Mu Zun clenched his right hand into a fist and threw a simple punch toward the overwhelming Geng Metal fist shadows launched by Bai Shuo.

This punch had no fancy moves, nor any brilliant divine light.

It only carried the meaning of returning to simplicity, seemingly pushing the Chaos and crushing the Void Realm.

Boom!

Like the first thunderclap when Chaos first parted.

The fierce fist shadows filling the sky shattered and vanished like colored glass the moment they connected with the Mu Zun's fist edge.

Bai Shuo only felt an indescribably immense force rush toward him.

That power contained not only terrifying kinetic energy capable of pulverizing matter but also a Concept of dissolving Laws and returning to the Grand Beginning.

"Crack!"

His arms, covered in Geng Metal Qi, emitted the sound of cracking bones under the overwhelming pressure. His entire body felt as if it had been struck by the Primordial Divine Mountain.

He was sent flying backward at a speed faster than he had approached, spitting out a large mouthful of blood while still in mid-air.

He crashed heavily onto the distant ground. After struggling a few times, he was temporarily unable to stand up.

As for Yan Yuchen's silently attacking Nine Nether Soul-Devouring Flame, when it approached within three feet of the Mu Zun's body,

it was naturally swallowed and assimilated by the circulating Grand Beginning Chaos Qi, failing to even cause a ripple, like a clay ox sinking into the sea.

In a flash of lightning, the combined strike of the three great Prodigies was effortlessly dismantled by the Mu Zun in a manner that bordered on utter crushing defeat!

The entire scene fell into dead silence.

Qin Tianhai and Qin Xinghe gaped, their eyes filled with endless shock and reverence.

They knew the Imperial Son was powerful, but they never imagined he was strong to such an unbelievable extent.

Those were three top Prodigies renowned throughout the Immortal Domain! Yet, before him, they were as fragile as toddlers!

Yan Yuchen's face was pale. He looked at Bai Shuo, who lay motionless on the ground, and then at the Mu Zun, whose expression remained calm and whose clothes were not even ruffled.

A chill shot straight from his soles to the top of his head. This was fundamentally not a competition on the same level!

The color drained from Liu Xiangling's pretty face as well, and her beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief.

Her Divine Ability was actually destroyed by the opponent's casual slice? What kind of power was this?

The Mu Zun's gaze fell once more upon the suspended Qi of Return and Concealment, as if he had merely swatted away a few annoying flies just now.

He slightly raised his hand, and the Qi of Return and Concealment was taken away by him.
