He Changtian struck with full force, holding nothing back. The violent flame power made Jiutian's face change.
Even Supreme experts couldn't help but be moved. To instantly raise one's power to such a level is extremely difficult.
It should be known that any strong fighter needs to "warm up" in battle, because to move from normal to combat mode, the body's qi and blood must circulate for several days before they can achieve this.
If you don't warm up and suddenly unleash too much force, your meridians will be overwhelmed and may get injured—hurting yourself before harming your enemy.
He Changtian instantly entered combat mode, his aura shaking the heavens and startling everyone.
However, people quickly realized that He Changtian's ability to achieve this was most likely thanks to his Tianxi battle armor, which helped him neutralize some of his power.
"Rumble... The
spear roared like a dragon, roaring forward. Because of this spear, a massive vortex swept up in the void.
Faced with such a powerful strike, Xia Chen did not unleash any momentum. As he extended his right hand, a golden talisman appeared.
"Burn!"
Xia Chen shouted sharply, and the golden talisman in his hand shattered with a roar, forming a golden divine radiance. The radiance was like liquid, permeating his entire palm, making it appear as if forged from gold.
"Boom!"
Amid everyone's shocked gazes, Xia Chen's golden palm struck the spear, producing a thunderous explosion that resonated with heaven and earth.
Xia Chen pressed his left hand behind him, and in an instant, a web—billions of miles long—appeared behind him, covering the sky.
Then people saw endless flames surge into the spider web on Xia Chen's left hand, instantly turning into a web of flames.
"Transfer He Changtian's fire power."
People were shocked—He Changtian's full-force strike had been neutralized. Xia Chen was completely unharmed. The spider web behind him was burned by the flames, shattering inch by inch, transforming into a sky full of divine light.
"Talisman cultivator! He's actually a talisman cultivator!"
Someone exclaimed, and at this moment someone recognized Xia Chen's identity. Just now, when Xia Chen made his move, he was holding a talisman in each hand, easily blocking He Changtian's strike.
A smile appeared at the corner of Long Chen's mouth. Talisman cultivation was truly amazing. A small talisman possessed the power to measure heaven and earth. Even now, he still couldn't figure out the true mysteries within.
"Boom!"
At that moment, He Changtian suddenly closed in on Xia Chen and slammed a punch at his face. He reacted extremely quickly—he was actually a close-combat expert.
"Boom!"
Xia Chen pressed his palms together, holding a talisman between them, blocking He Changtian's punch head-on. When He Changtian's punch landed on Xia Chen's palms, a shield appeared on his hands, perfectly blocking He Changtian's attack.
With a loud bang, both of them retreated three steps at the same time. He Changtian sneered, "It's just an external force. Let's see how many talismans you have." Xia
Chen took two of his strikes but destroyed three talismans. These talismans were single-use and gone once used. Although powerful, they were consumables.
"As a talisman cultivator, you don't need to worry about that. You should just worry about yourself!" Xia Chen sneered.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, he spread his hands, crossed his chest, and between his fingers tucked eight talismans. With a sharp shout:
"Eight Ghosts Exorcism Order!"
"Boom!"
With Xia Chen's shout, the eight talismans exploded with a roar. From each talisman emerged a transparent being, resembling human heads, carrying long tails and charging toward He Changtian with eerie laughter.
When they heard that eerie laugh, everyone felt a chill run down their spines. The sound was like the devil's deadly laughter, terrifying.
The most terrifying part was that the voice pierced straight to the soul, impossible to defend against. For a moment, everyone's expressions changed.
"Spiritual power attack?"
Someone exclaimed that spiritual power attacks are unique to spiritual power cultivators, a force that lies between soul and spiritual power, making it impossible to guard against.
"You dare to show off your petty tricks and embarrass yourself."
Seeing the eight strange beings approaching, He Changtian sneered, and the Heavenly Seal Mad Lion within the strange phenomenon behind him let out a roar.
"Buzz!"
A ring of flame burst forth from his vision, radiating out and instantly devouring the eight strange beings.
When the ring of fire struck the strange being, it exploded with a thunderous crash, but at the very instant the creature shattered—
"Pfft!"
He Changtian spat out a mouthful of blood. His brow split open, blood gushing out, as if something inside his head had exploded, nearly shattering it.
The moment the strange creature shattered, countless people present screamed in agony, clutching their heads and showing expressions of pain.
"Ghost Dao techniques?" Ignite the soul? Someone
exclaimed, and countless powerful figures turned pale. Rumor had it that only the ghost path could unknowingly affect a person's soul, allowing them to be controlled unnoticed. This situation was somewhat akin to the "ghost possession" in the mortal world.
Even in the Immortal Realm, the ghost path remains unfathomable; people are full of unknowns and fear toward it.
People associate it with the Ghost Dao because Xia Chen just mentioned the "Eight Ghosts Exorcism Order." Only the Ghost Dao has such terrifying and bizarre attack methods.
Not only was He Changtian affected, but some powerful soul powers with weaker souls also felt their heads splitting, as if their souls were about to burst out of their heads.
Even Long Chen and the others were startled. He had just researched this move, and had long since mastered it, never showing it to him.
"All you know is playing dirty tricks. Despicable guy, do you think these petty tricks can hurt me? Dream on. He Changtian howled to the sky, his violent aura soaring into the sky, endless flames erupting, and the entire world instantly turned into a sea of fire.
"He Changtian has opened the Flame Domain."
Someone exclaimed, "When the domain is stretched open, it becomes a true battle of strength. There can be no shortcuts. In this domain, He Changtian is the master."
"Boom!"
He Changtian's figure flickered, and a pair of fiery wings sprouted from his back. As the wings trembled, He Changtian appeared before Xia Chen as if teleporting, thrusting his spear fiercely.
"Whoosh."
But to everyone's shock, He Changtian's swift and fierce spear shot hit its mark. At the same time, the powerful warriors of the Tianxi Empire cried out in shock, shocked to discover that Xia Chen had somehow appeared behind He Changtian.
He Changtian's spear missed, and he sensed trouble. Suddenly, he took a fierce step forward, the spear rising above his headFang Ji swung his waist, arching his waist. The spear traced a mysterious arc from the front, stabbing straight behind him. The spear tip flickered and was already at Xia Chen's face.
"Counterattack"
wasn't some mysterious move, but the fact that he could control reaction speed, attack angle, and accuracy to such a level proved that He Changtian had extremely rich combat experience.
Especially his move, which flowed like clouds and water, with extremely graceful movements, earning applause from countless people. He Changtian truly was a master.
"Whoosh."
But to everyone's shock, as the spear struck, Xia Chen's figure vanished again, and each shot missed again.
The suddenly vanished Xia Chen abruptly appeared above He Changtian's head and kicked him right in the face.
