2437 Iron Fist of Words, Power of Knowledge!

“Seize this opportunity, Tyrannical Song,” Slow-Witted Song said softly.

He then extended his hand and beckoned gently to summon an object from his original dantian which landed in his hand—the secret treasure, the Shadow Sacred Land!

This treasure, the Shadow Sacred Land, was the only one in all the realms capable of harnessing the fire of obsession and manifesting it as combat power. It was a highly cherished secret treasure of the Shadow Lord.

At that moment, the Shadow Sacred Land still bore numerous cracks.

Over these past few days, the Shadow Sacred Land had been nourished by Song Shuhang’s intrinsic spiritual lake, and the cracks had somewhat begun to mend. However, to fully restore it, relying solely on the nourishment of his natal spiritual lake wasn’t sufficient. Many precious heavenly and earthly treasures were still needed for its repair.

“You must hang on,” Slow-Witted Song called out to the Shadow Sacred Land.

In the past, when Song Shuhang’s Saber Nurturing Technique had activated it, the Shadow Sacred Land had evolved once, significantly increasing its strength.

“As long as you persevere, I will find a way to completely restore you after this incident is over. Now, lend me your power,” Slow-Witted Song urged as he activated the Shadow Sacred Land.

In the next moment, the land that the Great Southern Emperor had brought over ignited with flames of obsession—the obsession left behind by the Scholarly Sage was once again activated by the power of the liquid metal sphere.

The most suitable candidate to confront the liquid metal sphere was none other than the Scholarly Sage.

The burning obsession of the Saint was drawn over and converged upon the Shadow Sacred Land.

The Shadow Sacred Land grew intensely hot, and the cracks on it widened, emitting a faint sound of distress.

Unfortunately, Slow-Witted Song hadn’t mastered the Blade Nurturing Technique, so he couldn’t alleviate the Shadow Sacred Land’s pain.

“Hold on, you must hold on. Once we pass through this trial, countless Saber Nurturing Techniques will be waiting for you. The cracks on your body can be fully repaired,” Slow-Witted Song reassured.

The Shadow Sacred Land emitted a spiritually resonant sound.

In the next moment, countless flames of obsession were transformed by the Shadow Sacred Land, enveloping Slow-Witted Song in an illusory flame.

The flames shrouded Slow-Witted Song, causing his form to vanish.

Simultaneously, an indescribably potent aura emanated from the flames.

Boom!

The flames expanded…

A man clad in a Confucian robe materialized in the void.

Merely by standing there, he exuded the aura of a master.

When people beheld him, for some inexplicable reason, they were awed by his presence.

No introductions were necessary, and no intimidating aura leaked. Just by his presence, he was a master—a mysteriously impressive one.

“I have succeeded,” the Soul-Seizing Emperor smiled with satisfaction. His efforts to excavate the entire continent and drag it into the battle space had not been in vain.

Now, it was time to reenact the battle between the Scholarly Sage and the liquid metal sphere.

In the skies above the Scholarly Sage’s obsession body, a group of holy apes quickly lined up in formation behind the saint’s obsession, silently flipping open the saint’s scripture.

“I excelled in my studies!”

“I was remarkable when I entered the Dao!”

“My cultivation is extraordinary!”

“The Dao I established is outstanding!”

As their chanting continued, the righteous energy in the world gathered and fortified the Scholarly Sage’s state.

In the void, the number of holy apes continued to multiply.

One thousand, two thousand, three thousand.

The true legion of holy apes had descended.

The holy apes didn’t need to take any action. Their mere presence and unified singing exerted immense pressure on the enemy.

In the air, the liquid metal giant’s attention was drawn to the Scholarly Sage’s obsession body.

At this point, the liquid metal giant was in dire straits.

The few individuals who had confronted it were the top Immortals of the ancient Heavenly City.

Thick vines ensnared its body, thick ice immobilized it, and the eternal fire of the rising sun enshrouded its wounds to prevent any form of regeneration.

The Scholarly Sage’s obsession raised its head and met the gaze of the liquid metal giant.

The liquid metal giant’s eyes filled with rage and hatred.

But the Scholarly Sage’s eyes remained devoid of emotion.

“Howl!” The liquid metal giant roared while abandoning its levitation and preparing to descend, intent on crushing everything below.

The Scholarly Sage’s obsession lightly touched its own body. Perhaps because Song Shuhang had previously summoned the Sage’s obsession, its body had already acclimated to it.

Additionally, Song Shuhang possessed the Sage’s blood and frequently used the Scholarly Sage’s eye. Therefore, Song Shuhang’s body readily accepted the Scholarly Sage’s obsession, allowing him to unleash the Sage’s power flawlessly.

The Saint’s Obsession Body raised its hand and hurled the scripture it held.

The scripture expanded instantly, revealing a pitch-black spatial gate.

Within the book was a golden palace, containing an entire world.

The portal hovered before the Saint’s Obsession Body and projected its other end beside the liquid metal giant.

The Saint’s Obsession Body rolled up its sleeves, clenched its fists, and assumed a stance.

Simultaneously, countless scholarly characters materialized and enshrouded the fist of the Saint’s obsession body.

This was the iron fist of knowledge!

The power of erudition!

Gripping the iron fist of knowledge, the Scholarly Sage struck the scripture’s spatial gate before him.

In the next instant, a colossal fist extended from the spatial portal projection beside the liquid metal giant and hammered the giant’s face.

The iron fist, brimming with the power of knowledge, struck the liquid metal giant’s face with great force. Water splashed in all directions, and the liquid metal giant’s visage crumbled.

The Saint’s Obsession Body didn’t stop at a single strike.

Its fists pummeled the scripture spatial gate incessantly!

The fists were like a tempest relentlessly assaulting the spatial gateway. Subsequently, they magnified upon emerging from the other side of the spatial gateway and relentlessly battered the liquid metal giant’s head.

The liquid metal behemoth tried to evade, but the spatial gateway’s projection shadowed its movements. Its massive size left it incapable of dodging the relatively diminutive spatial gateway.

Boom! Boom!

The iron fist of knowledge, infused with the power of words, was instructing the liquid metal giant on becoming more human.

Every punch bore the recitation of scholarly students and imparted knowledge. The saint’s iron fist struck not only the giant’s body but also educated its spirit.

Attacking the foe’s exterior with fists and reshaping their interior with knowledge—cultivating both the external and internal. This was the invincible Confucian Dao that the Scholarly Sage had upheld throughout his lifetime.

The Great Northern Emperor, the Great Western Emperor, the Soul-Seizing Emperor, and the Immortal Peach Fairy were powerless to intervene.

The scene of the Saint’s Obsession Body battling the liquid metal giant that everyone had imagined failed to materialize.

From beginning to end, it was the Scholarly Sage’s Obsession Body dominating the liquid metal giant.

‘In the battle of the Heavenly Dao all those years ago, was it truly the Scholarly Sage who lost?’ This thought crossed the minds of everyone present.
