"Kill Break Wolf—it's been years since Ming Ngo used it. Rumor has it, three years ago at Late Void Refining, he defeated a Perfected Void Refining with it!"
"Exactly—his strongest attack. Each use summons a Kill Break Wolf one tier above himself. Now… Half-Step Body Integration!"
"With his rank, how could it be simple? Even Ba Li Jiao Huang's defense might not hold!"
The pitch-black wolf howled eerily. Whispers spread—many knew Ming Ngo's famed technique.
Devastating skills always echoed in the cultivation world.
Even more famed: Strange Attributes—especially Seven-Colored Lotus Ice, owned by the peerless Heavenly Mountain Lord.
Wang Ying's hands were now frozen in seven-colored ice—Seven-Colored Lotus Ice's power too immense for full control.
Biting his tongue for clarity, he began his strongest strike…
Palms faced inches apart before his abdomen, center lowered, slowly gathering force…
Seven-Colored Lotus Ice's terror escaped, swirling between palms—forming a breathtaking, pure, radiant ice lotus.
Seven petals—each a color, an element: Metal, Water, Wood, Fire, Earth, raging Lightning, howling Wind… and bone-chilling Ice. Though clashing, they remained distinct—space trembling around Wang Ying…
As the lotus formed, his face paled, blood trickled—spirit force drained.
"Ice Lotus World-Rage Palm!"
Su Yan's grave voice named it…
Gasps rippled. A Peak Spirit-Grade technique—crafted by the Heavenly Mountain Lord using Seven-Colored Lotus Ice. Its fame shook the realms.
Hidden in Wang Ying's jade token—external aid. Yet he struck it himself—no one could protest.
Against two apocalyptic attacks—could Lan An endure?
Eyes turned. Seeing his familiar Combined Spirit Palm stance—disappointment sighed.
Though famed, none believed it could counter Seven-Colored Lotus Ice and Kill Break Wolf.
Then—faces convulsed…
"This… not the usual Combined Spirit Palm…"
"Lightning, Flame, Earth, Wood, Water—five attributes fused?!" A Body Integration elder roared.
"Monster Young Master indeed—five spiritual roots!"
"Five roots already unprecedented—but fusion? Heavens!"
"If he succeeds, Lan An's name will etch into history!"
"Worthy disciple of Senior Wu San Niang!"
Amid fervor, Lan An's forehead dripped sweat. Between palms…
True Earth, Nirvana Spirit Water, Devouring Heaven Wood, Emperor Flame, dual Lightning—slowly, carefully merging…
A terrifying force erupted, centered on him—space shattered, pressure overwhelming. His body swayed, arms trembling, skin flaking—bones visible.
Second-layer Combined Spirit Palm could fuse six elements. Five was his limit.
In Spirit Realm Pearl, he'd practiced countless times—few successes. But now—failure meant defeat. Unacceptable.
Finally—a comet-like energy sphere formed. Unknown power within…
"GO!" Ming Ngo commanded, brush dancing…
Kill Break Wolf became black shadows—claws, fangs, ancient beast fury. Speed crushed space—black rift trailing. Half-Step Body Integration—unignorable.
Wang Ying inhaled, whispering:
"Ice Lotus World-Rage Palm!"
Eyes locked on Lan An. The lotus trembled, then gently flew…
Slow motion—yet deadly aura.
Compared to Kill Break Wolf's savagery, Ice Lotus drifted gracefully—no threat apparent. Then—vanished.
Reappearing—past Kill Break Wolf, inches from Lan An.
"Space penetration?!"
Eyes contracted. Seemingly slow—yet pierced layered space. Profound.
Even Piercing Weakness struggled to track—soul force draining.
ROAR…
Kill Break Wolf bared steel fangs, Dark Spirit Force eclipsing the sky—devouring Lan An in one bite…
In that darkness, Seven-Colored Lotus Ice glowed—sacred, inviolable…
One savage, one serene—both aimed to crush Lan An.
Robes fluttered. Under countless grave eyes, trembling hands moved…
Combined Spirit Palm raised—pushing…
SPLURT…
Blood sprayed. Body swayed. Yet teeth clenched—bloodied skeletal arms thrust…
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM…
Centered on Lan An—hundred-li space shattered. Combined Spirit Palm unleashed apocalyptic force…
Where it passed—void. Light and dark annihilated. Onlookers' eyes bled, pupils screaming…
"True-Grade Technique!"
Deep beneath Blood Spirit Sect, a light screen showed all. Blood Envoy shot up—spirit force erupting, blasting sect experts back, blood spraying…
He'd watched from start. Lan An's Strange Attributes—coveted. Now—a True-Grade technique…
High-grade, perhaps higher.
A being who dismissed most on Viet Long Star—shocked, struck.
When ten thousand disciples died to Stone Men—he'd been unmoved…
"Who is he?" Blood Envoy's eyes glowed like blood moons, staring at Lan An's image, voice hoarse.
Sect Leader and elders struggled up, silent despite blood, bowing:
"Lan An—disciple of Wu San Niang, one of Viet Long's strongest Tribulation Transcenders!"
Blood Envoy's eyes flickered. Such backing—he dared not seize. Alerting Wu San Niang—trouble.
Inhaling, suppressing greed:
When the invasion plan begins—he's my top prey!
…
Combined Spirit Palm rampaged indescribably. Backlash slid Lan An's feet across the sky, arms reduced to rattling bones, robes shredded…
His attire—lowest Heaven-Grade.
Facing it, Kill Break Wolf refused weakness. Eyes blood-red—all darkness gathered, power peaking…
Charging the hated light…
BOOM BOOM BOOM…
Five fused elements vs. condensed darkness.
Combined Spirit Palm—a drill. Kill Break Wolf—a beast ramming it.
Instantly—darkness cleaved. Body pierced—space reduced to nothing…
SPLURT…
"How…" Ming Ngo vomited blood, disbelief.
Half-Step Body Integration—one strike?
Now—Ice Lotus World-Rage Palm neared…
Mortal danger. Lan An gritted teeth—skeletal arms shifted, firing Combined Spirit Palm into the lotus…
SLASH SLASH SLASH…
Destructive beams met delicate lotus—friction ferocious…
Breaths later…
Scalp numb, bones rattling—Lan An held stance. Light fired—near dissolving the lotus…
Dantian: five Cauldrons spun—but spirit force lacked…
"Just a bit more!"
Lan An smirked. His palm stronger—nearly neutralized…
Wang Ying saw. Pale face flashed triumph, muttering:
"You lose! Lotus—EXPLODE!"
Hand clenched skyward…
Countless eyes contracted—Ice Lotus spun wildly, blazing, swelling…
"NO!"
Su Yan's eyes widened, heart aching—she lunged…
Yan Ruo Xue gripped her, signaling calm…
Hua Yu Feng clenched fists. Hundred Flowers elders held breath.
Dream Immortal Boat's arrays activated—protecting the women.
BOOM…
Ears bled. World—gray-black. No light.
Sound—gone. Heaven silent…
Seven-Colored Lotus exploded like a planet—Combined Spirit Palm's force detonated within…
Blood Spirit Sect—obliterated. Spirit force screamed, upturning earth…
"Bastard!"
Blood Envoy cursed. Sleeve waved—blood from his body formed a massive shield, reinforcing underground…
Sect members sighed relief—death's scent moments ago.
Wang Ying and Ming Ngo—blasted away despite distance. Organs churned—sprawled powerless…
"If he dies… Heavenly Mountain faces catastrophe!" Ming Ngo shuddered at the blast.
"Didn't expect such power!" Wang Ying grimaced. His sister's life-saving trump—against mighty foes.
First use—beyond imagination. Killing Lan An? Wu San Niang's wrath—Heavenly Mountain doomed…
He'd used external aid. If she retaliated—unimaginable.
"She'll hate us forever!" Ming Ngo despaired. Su Yan as enemy—regret flooded.
"Hope he breathes…" Wang Ying consoled himself.
Eyes fixed skyward—awaiting storm's end.
Long after—clear skies… nothing. Only healing spatial rifts.
"Little An!" Su Yan trembled, tears falling, body collapsing.
Yan Ruo Xue and Hua Yu Feng caught her—eyes meeting, understanding…
Onlookers thought as one:
Not even flesh remains?
