Chapter 544 543: Old Dog, You Dare
A vast river surged, waves churning, radiating an aura of absolute dominance!
BOOM! The Palm Force, like a great river, descended from the sky, washing over the void. The ground beneath Mo Bokong and the others couldn't withstand the immense pressure. It cracked inch by inch, sending sand and dust flying as it caved in a full fifty feet!
"We can't block it!"
"Damn it! We have to block it even if we can't."
Mo Bokong let out a deep roar. Endless frigid qi radiated from him, forming a blizzard that rushed upward toward the sky, erupting with majestic power!
Bi Xiaoyu, Black Dragon, White Wolf, and the others were not resigned to perishing here either.
In that instant, Sword Qi, blade gleams, Palm Force, and Fist Wind erupted. They formed dazzling beams of energy that kicked up a storm of sand, all blasting toward the river of palm energy.
But before this river of Palm Qi, everything seemed futile.
Their many attacks could only hold it back for a moment before being annihilated into dust. The great river continued its descent from the heavens with unstoppable might.
"Old dog, you dare!"
Just then, an explosive shout came from the distance. A figure streaked over at an indescribable speed, and Space itself rippled.
The great river of energy actually froze in Space for a split second.
At that moment, a figure appeared before Mo Bokong and the others. Clad in white with an impassive face, his eyes pulsed with a chilling coldness. A tyrannical killing intent surged to the heavens, stirring the clouds, making him look like a Demon God ascending from Hell!
Everyone couldn't help but tremble at the sight.
Yet, upon feeling this killing intent, Mo Bokong and the others felt a strange sense of security. Bi Xiaoyu gazed at the white figure, a smile blooming on her pale face. Her eyes shone with an unprecedented light. "He's here."
At that moment, a dense Qi of Destruction filled the space between heaven and earth.
"Heaven's Woe and Earth's Misery!!"
As the words fell, a boundless and incredibly potent True Essence condensed, forming an enormous, pitch-black Palm Seal. Within the palm, a scene of armageddon was depicted!
The Hand of Destruction versus the river palm!
The clash kicked up churning shockwaves, and the earth within ten thousand zhang collapsed. Then, the five fingers of the Hand of Destruction clenched, and the vast river of energy slowly shattered.
The black Palm Qi mercilessly slammed into Dongmen Gu.
BOOM! The Palm Qi sent Dongmen Gu flying. He shot toward a nearby mountain peak and smashed right into it. Dust flew, trees were obliterated, and countless boulders tumbled down. The mountain trembled violently before exploding.
The earth quaked. Where the mountain had vanished, a massive crater dozens of zhang deep now lay. Dongmen Gu was at the very bottom, an expression of disbelief in his eyes as he coughed up mouthful after mouthful of blood.
A layer of white Divine Light flowed across his body, shimmering under the sun. It continuously blocked wisps of the Qi of Destruction. Clearly, without the defense of this Divine Light, Dongmen Gu's injuries would have been far more severe.
'This kind of power…'
'It's already comparable to the very top tier of Era-Defining Kings.'
'Why has his strength increased again after just a few days?!'
Even without seeing the newcomer's face clearly, Dongmen Gu knew that the only person who could wield the Qi of Destruction and execute Heaven's Woe and Earth's Misery was Qin Ya.
But he couldn't believe it.
The youth who could, at best, fight him to a standstill just a few days ago... why did he now possess such overwhelming combat strength after such a short time, to the point of decisively suppressing him?
Just then, a figure broke through the air, standing proudly in the void above.
His white robes fluttered and his black hair whipped in the wind, making him resemble a merciless Deity.
The moment he saw this person, the rage in Dongmen Gu's heart erupted. A terrifying fury brewed in his eyes. He swallowed an Elixir and shot into the sky. The Divine Light around him surged like the mighty Yangtze River, each pulse unleashing a force powerful enough to shatter mountains and split the earth.
"Qin Ya!!"
"Die!"
He waved his palm, unleashing a flurry of afterimages that resembled torrential waves. They completely enveloped the space within dozens of zhang of Qin Ya, releasing waves of immense, destructive force.
"Old dog, you've come after me and those I care about time and time again."
"Today, I will cut you down!!"
As his words fell, a long spear appeared in Qin Ya's hand. Its shaft trembled, a humming sound echoing through the void, as wisps of the Qi of Destruction flowed across its surface.
The spear struck out like a torrential downpour!
Combined with his terrifying Spear Technique that Skill Approaches Dao, it collided with the layers of Palm Seals, creating countless thunderous booms. Terrifying energy fluctuations swept through the void.
"Profound Technique… Extreme Stab!!"
The Extreme Stab was thrust, appearing like a streak of Flowing Light, so fast its trajectory was impossible to trace. However, relying on his Divine Thought Power, which far surpassed Qin Ya's, Dongmen Gu managed to pinpoint the spear's destination. With a shift of his body, he narrowly dodged the attack. He then waved his palm, "Profound Technique… Torrential River Waves!"
As the words fell, the Divine Light flared brilliantly. It condensed, forming the majestic force of a colossal river wave, so powerful it even created the sound of a roaring tidal surge in the void. Then, Dongmen Gu blasted a palm strike straight at Qin Ya's chest.
'Is that all the strength you have?'
A few days ago, Qin Ya might not have dared to take this head-on. But after absorbing over a hundred Golden Sea Jades, the quality of the True Essence in his body had long surpassed his own imagination. Not even an Era-Defining King could possibly possess True Essence like his.
He could withstand the might of the Divine Light with his True Essence alone.
Not to mention he also possessed three Top Profound Mysteries and several Seventh-Grade Profound Techniques.
"Space, Vibrate!!"
Qin Ya extended his five fingers and abruptly clenched his fist. A massive power of Vibration rippled through the void, directly dissipating half of the torrential wave's force. Immediately after, an unbelievably terrifying Qi of Destruction erupted.
"Heaven's Woe and Earth's Misery!"
The majestic Palm Seal appeared again, slamming directly into the great wave. The collision of the two energies created a deafening roar. The ground beneath them cracked and trembled violently.
Then, the Hand of Destruction shattered the Yangtze wave and sent Dongmen Gu flying once more. He crashed into a mountain peak hundreds of zhang away, blasting a huge hole clean through it. Immediately, Dongmen Gu, his eyes bloodshot, charged out again.
"Hmph. I'd like to see how many of my palms you can take!"
In the distance, the crowd watching this battle was already dumbfounded. They all sucked in sharp breaths, their faces filled with utter shock.
"Gods, his combat power has gotten even stronger."
"That's Dongmen Gu! The pillar of the Dongmen Family! His Divine Light is almost solidified—he's among the highest tier of Upper Grade Era-Defining Kings."
"I can't believe he's able to fight him on equal footing... no, he's actually suppressing him, and he still looks like he has strength to spare. What a terrifying young man."
Meanwhile, in Tianyun City, Lin Leimu stared at the figure in white and swallowed hard. "It looks like Qin Ya has already absorbed the Golden Sea Jade. Otherwise, I can't think of any other way he could have raised his strength to this level in such a short time."
At this, another person said in disbelief, "Even if he did absorb Golden Sea Jade, how much would he need to reach this level? Ten? Fifty? A hundred? That absorption speed is just too fast."
"It's simply unheard-of!"
