Myriad Dragon Divine Sovereign

”Then you can just die!”

After the bald man spoke, he swung his hammer. With a BOOM, the void trembled. A golden tiger dozens of feet long roared as it tore through the air, charging toward Wen Qingye. Wherever the giant tiger passed, the air exploded, leaving a distinct wake behind it.

”Domineering Hammer Technique, First Form!”

Wen Qingye’s brow furrowed in concentration. This bald man’s cultivation was roughly at the Refining Spirit First Layer Heaven, but this Hammer Technique was at least a Seventh-Grade Martial Arts. Moreover, it seemed he had mastered it to perfection, wielding it with effortless proficiency.

”Hah! A fine attack!”

The moment his voice fell, Wen Qingye snapped his arm straight and threw a punch. As he swung his fist, the air within a radius of dozens of feet suddenly exploded. Even the handmaidens at the far edges of the area were blown back by the gale whipped up by his Fist Qi.

”Fall of the Celestial Star!”

As Wen Qingye raised his fist, a phantasmal expanse of starlight suddenly rose behind him. When the force of his punch reached its peak, the starlight seemed to dim abruptly. Wen Qingye’s fist, carrying an indomitable aura, slammed toward the bald man’s enormous iron hammer.

BOOM!

The void trembled and Powerful Qi radiated outward. The first golden attack from the bald man’s Hammer Technique was actually met force-for-force by Wen Qingye. Relying on his tyrannical Celestial Star Fist Technique, he brutally smashed it, and both attacks dissipated into nothing.

A violent shockwave surged outward, causing everyone far off in the Divine Wind Auction House to frown and look over.

”Not bad, kid! Take my second move—Domineering Hammer Technique, Fourth Form!”

The bald man, realizing his first move couldn’t suppress Wen Qingye at all, immediately leaped forward. He closed the distance with large strides, getting within ten feet of Wen Qingye, and cleaved down with another wide, ferocious, and domineering hammer strike.

Wen Qingye felt a wild wind burst forth, stinging his cheeks.

The bald man’s Hammer Technique flashed with golden light, carrying an incredibly thick aura and oppressive might. Faint peals of thunder seemed to echo from it. The bald man himself was like an Angry Thunder Vajra, pressing down on Wen Qingye with a Heaven-shattering, Earth-splitting momentum.

Seeing how fierce and domineering the bald man was, Wen Qingye couldn’t help but praise him inwardly. ’What a fine Hammer Technique! This strike is different from the first; its momentum carries a hint of lightning, possessing a Thunderous Force that could catch anyone off guard.’

”Celestial Star Unrivaled!”

Wen Qingye stomped his foot, advancing instead of retreating, and simultaneously unleashed the most tyrannical form of his Celestial Star Fist Technique.

In an instant, a gale raged through the entire courtyard. Specks of starlight danced across the sky, resembling a night sky at its most brilliant—bewitching and beautiful.

Wen Qingye’s fist descended from mid-air with endless oppressive might, smashing toward the bald man’s enormous iron hammer.

BANG! Hammer and fist collided, once again annihilating each other!

The two of them staggered back four or five steps at the same time.

”This kid actually met Big Brother’s hammer head-on for two moves.”

”Isn’t his cultivation just at the Refining Essence Eighth Layer Heaven? How terrifying. What a monster.”

”This kid’s Fist Technique has already reached the Transformation Realm. His whole body’s Primordial Qi is so condensed, it’s almost as if he’s at the Peak of Refining Essence.”

Seeing Wen Qingye trade blows with the bald man for two moves without backing down, the surrounding Divine Wind Guard exclaimed in surprise. They were well aware of how formidable their leader’s Hammer Technique was.

...

The bald man gasped for breath, glaring coldly at Wen Qingye with a hint of disbelief in his eyes.

”Domineering Hammer Technique, Third Form!”

The Domineering Hammer Technique was created by a prodigy of the Martial Dao. After observing mountains and rivers, he was so moved that he couldn’t help but channel his feelings into this creation. Every move and form displays the domineering spirit of heaven, earth, mountains, and rivers.

In ancient times, there was a great mountain that connected heaven and earth, suppressed all in its domain, and was the greatest under the heavens. It was even rumored that Gods and Demons and true immortals resided within this mountain.

The third form of the Domineering Hammer Technique was inspired by the observation of this great mountain. The fact that the bald man was using it now showed its tyrannical might.

RUMBLE!

The bald man leaped high into the air, his body seeming to merge into the void. In an instant, with a tremendous crash, the image of a mountain appeared behind him.

This mountain was majestic, towering into the clouds. It carried an ancient, desolate, and supremely suppressive aura—it was clearly a miniature version of a great mountain.

CRACK! CRACKLE!

Unable to withstand the pressure, the floorboards shattered inch by inch. The handmaidens and Divine Wind Guard watching from the sidelines felt their shoulders sink, as if an unimaginably heavy mountain had been placed upon them. With soft thuds, their feet sank into the dirt. The handmaidens with lower cultivation even spat out blood and retreated several steps.

”Big Brother’s Hammer Technique is just too tyrannical,” the surrounding Divine Wind Guard muttered, wincing.

”Be suppressed!”

The bald man vanished into the great mountain, his voice drifting down from the sky as the attack condensed, poised but not yet unleashed.

Wen Qingye looked at the bald man whistling toward him, shook his trembling arm, and couldn’t help but laugh. ”You want to defeat me with this move? It’s still not enough.”

The moment Wen Qingye finished speaking, his hands began to move, continuously crossing and changing positions. A black and white stream of air flowed between his palms, exuding waves of profound and mysterious charm. The onlookers suddenly felt a deep chill in their bones, as if wisps of a sinister wind had burrowed into their flesh, causing an intense ache.

”Undying Seal Technique, First Form! The Sinister Wind Comes to Reap Your Soul!”

Wen Qingye shot into the air. With a flicker of his body, he sent a bizarre Seal Technique from his palm to strike the bald man’s Hammer Technique.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Above the courtyard, explosions rang out continuously as the giant mountain and the Undying Seal Technique repeatedly collided. A wave of Powerful Qi rolled back down from the sky, ripping up all the stone slabs in the courtyard and instantly turning the ground into a pockmarked mess.

”Quick, quick, get back!”

Everyone was startled and scrambled to get away. Even Yux Yang and Luu Fangliang paused their fight and hastily retreated several steps.

”Good, again!” the bald man roared, his entire body emitting a series of sharp cracks like breaking bones.

The bald man’s Hammer Technique utilized grand, sweeping movements. Its ferocious power was something that an ordinary practitioner at the Refining Spirit First Layer Heaven could never hope to match, which was precisely why so many of the Divine Wind Guard obeyed him.

The two exchanged dozens of blows, scattering the Primordial Qi in the air. They met force with force, neither giving an inch.

After the clash, their Primordial Qi attacks both dissipated.

”My Hammer Technique only gets fiercer the longer it goes on. It’s not just vicious, it’s fast. I’d like to see how many of my strikes you can take,” the bald man sneered.

After speaking, the bald man’s hands flew up and down, his great hammer dancing in a continuous flurry. Wen Qingye immediately felt he was being overwhelmed.

BANG!

Wen Qingye and the bald man clashed once more. The two spun several times in the air before coming to a stop.

”Now it’s my turn to attack!” Wen Qingye laughed loudly and suddenly shot into the air again. While airborne, his hands began to move continuously. The black and white airflow reappeared, but this time, what it shook wasn’t flesh and bone, but one’s very Heart Spirit. A black-and-white Eight Trigrams Disc suddenly manifested behind Wen Qingye, rotating endlessly with a hint of profound mystery.

”Undying Seal Technique, Second Form! Separation and Death Shatter the Heart!”

In the Undying Seal Technique, each subsequent Seal Technique is stronger than the last—and by a large margin. Not only is the power greater, but the very essence of the technique also changes.

”A fine attack! Now take this hammer strike!”

The bald man likewise shot up, swinging his iron hammer with mountain-shattering, peak-splitting momentum as he smashed it forward.

The Hand Seal descended. The rotating black-and-white seal directly shattered the bald man’s Primordial Qi, then, with a BOOM, slapped him out of the void. It only dissipated abruptly after flying for over a hundred feet.

The bald man lay spread-eagled in a large crater, his black robes shattered. Beneath him, blood flowed freely.

Wen Qingye wasn’t in good shape either. A trickle of blood slowly ran from the corner of his mouth; the tyrannical Hammer Technique had already injured his internal organs.
