"Tss—!"
Two streaks of finger energy collided silently in the void!
There was no earth-shattering explosion as one might have expected. Instead, at the epicenter of the collision, space silently annihilated like fragile glass, forming a massive black hole!
At the edges of the black hole, the elements of earth, water, fire, and wind raged, and the chains of laws snapped inch by inch! A destructive fluctuation that would make even a Saint realm expert's soul tremble spread outward like a ripple!
"Crack—!!!"
The already devastated earth below was instantly pushed down a thousand zhang, as if slammed by an invisible giant palm!
Distant mountain ranges collapsed and annihilated silently like piles of sand! The shockwave transformed into visible ripples of destruction, spreading madly in all directions!
"Retreat! Retreat another ten thousand miles!"
The cultivators watching from afar were scared out of their wits, frantically burning their essence blood to flee backward!
Some cultivators who were too slow to escape, along with the mountain peaks beneath their feet, were instantly erased by the expanding ripples, leaving not a single trace behind!
In a battle between Saint Kings, mere shockwaves could destroy the heavens and exterminate the earth!
Just a single clash of finger energy between the two Saint Kings possessed a might that far surpassed the full-powered strike of Elder Ying desperately pushing his Saint Weapon earlier!
The First Patriarch's figure swayed slightly, the light and shadow around him fluctuating for a moment before he stabilized himself.
Li Wuya, however, felt a tyrannical, overbearing, and destructive force transmit through the finger energy. It caused his vitality and blood to churn slightly, filling his heart with awe!
His opponent's power was actually so formidable and pure!
The two confronted each other across the void. Their gazes clashed in midair as if they were tangible, sparking invisible flames!
The oppressive auras of their Saint King domains ground against each other, turning the area between them into an absolute forbidden zone for life. Space continuously annihilated and reorganized, resembling the scene of the universe's creation!
The entire world fell dead silent! All the spectators, including those powerful divine senses prying from the dark, held their breath!
A battle of Saint Kings! This was a clash between true titans standing at the pinnacle of the Eastern Region! A rare occurrence even in ten thousand years!
"Li Wuya! Is this all you are capable of?!" The First Patriarch's voice shook the cosmos.
"Bring out the true foundation of your Glazed Holy Land! Otherwise, today will be the day you fall!"
He took a step forward, causing the void to tremble, and actively launched an attack!
He swung his fists. Each punch was simple and direct, yet contained the supreme might to shatter stars and reset the elements of earth, water, fire, and wind!
The fist shadows blotted out the sky, completely enveloping Li Wuya and the Glazed Dharma Idol behind him!
Li Wuya's expression was grave. Not daring to hold anything back, he channeled his Glazed Dharma Idol, brandished his Saint Sword, and executed the Glazed Holy Land's supreme sword art to its absolute limit!
Seven-colored sword auras crisscrossed, violently clashing with the sky full of fist shadows!
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom—!!!"
The endless, deafening explosions were like doomsday thunder, echoing throughout the entire Eastern Region!
The all-out battle between two Saint Kings caused apocalyptic destruction! The sky was torn apart, the earth was reshaped, and all living creatures within tens of thousands of miles shivered in terror, as if the end of the world had arrived!
The eyes of all the top factions in the entire Eastern Region were dead set on this place!
Everyone understood that the outcome of this battle would completely change the power dynamics of the Eastern Region!
Li Wuya held the Glazed Saint Sword. The Dharma Idol behind him stood tall between heaven and earth. Pushing his sword art to the limit, every strike contained the Saint King's mighty power to purify all things and reshape order. As his sword light scattered, it seemed as if he wanted to transform the entire world into a Glazed Pure Land!
However, his heart was far less calm than his outward appearance suggested.
"This person's strength is actually this formidable!"
Li Wuya's gaze was sharp, locking onto that blurry figure as waves of shock surged in his heart.
"His vitality and blood are as vast as a sea of stars, and his power is peerlessly tyrannical... When did such a figure appear in the Eastern Region? Why have I never heard of him!"
The more he fought, the more alarmed he became. The opponent's combat style was wild and direct, completely devoid of flashy moves, yet he could always break techniques with sheer force. It shook Li Wuya so much that his Saint energy churned, and even his Glazed Saint Light showed faint signs of instability.
This was absolutely not a realm an ordinary Saint King could reach!
"Is he really the true mysterious powerhouse behind those few juniors?"
At this thought, Li Wuya's heart couldn't help but sink.
If he is the main mastermind, although troublesome, at least the target is clear. By exhausting the foundation of my Glazed Holy Land, it might not be impossible to suppress him!
But if he is not the main mastermind, and merely a Dao Protector sent by that mysterious powerhouse... then just how terrifying would the true master's strength be?!
Just then, from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Shi Wanshan, who was going all out to protect Xiao Ruobai and the others, and a thought struck him:
"No... that body-cultivating Saint's vitality is as steady as a mountain. He is clearly the Dao Protector for those brats."
"To have a Saint as a Dao Protector is already shocking enough. Looking across the Eastern Region, even for my Glazed Holy Land, it is absolutely impossible to have a Saint King titan condescend to act as a Dao Protector for a few Heaven and Man realm juniors—it makes no sense!"
"Therefore, the person before me must undoubtedly be the mysterious figure behind those brats."
"As for when he erased the mountain gate and secret realm with a single palm earlier, leaving behind traces of Dao Charm... could it be that he relied on some heaven-defying supreme treasure, or utilized a forbidden secret technique beyond his own realm, to achieve such apocalyptic yet naturally Dao-charmed effects?"
"That must be it!"
A bright glint flashed in Li Wuya's eyes as his mind suddenly cleared, sweeping away all his hesitation.
"The person before me is definitely the true body of that mysterious figure! All those previous displays were nothing but empty bluffs!"
At this moment, all the doubts and apprehensions in his heart vanished into thin air, replaced by a cold, killing intent of certain victory!
At the same time, across the Eastern Region, several powerful divine senses that stood above all living beings were also locked dead onto this battlefield that had been reduced to scorched earth.
The masters of these divine senses were all top-tier titans who ruled their own territories and overlooked the rise and fall of the Eastern Region.
They were no longer merely spectating an earth-shattering battle, but nervously evaluating and guessing the true identity of that mysterious Saint King, as well as the monstrous waves this battle might trigger.
"Is he, or is he not, the true mastermind who annihilated the Demonic Heaven Sect?"
An ancient divine sense rippled, carrying deep inquiry.
"Observing his vitality and combat methods, they are incomparably fierce, somewhat similar to the tyrannical Dao Charm left by that palm print. If it really is him... although troublesome, at least the target is clear and still within the realm of comprehension."
"My only fear is..."
Another, more ethereal divine sense intervened, carrying an indescribable solemnity.
"If he is not the true body, but merely a Dao Protector... then to what terrifying degree would the faction and karma he represents behind him reach?"
These unspoken implications loomed like dark clouds over the hearts of the titans, elevating their attention to this Saint King battle to an unprecedented height.
"Hmph! Playing the fool! If there truly is a stronger expert behind you, how could they cower and refuse to show themselves until now? Today, I will make you, this mysterious powerhouse, reveal your true colors!"
A fierce light flashed in Li Wuya's eyes, his mind already made up. Since the other party refused to make peace, they were already mortal enemies.
Regardless of whether he was or wasn't, no matter what, he had to take down the person before him first!
He fiercely knocked away the incoming fist shadows with a single sword strike, using the momentum to drift back ten thousand zhang. Raising the Glazed Saint Sword high in his hand, the seven-colored saint light around his body converged madly at an unprecedented speed!
"Impressive means, Your Excellency! But if you think this alone is enough to shake our Glazed Holy Land, you are far too naive!"
