"Heavenly Emperor's Fortune Hand – Starshatter Hammer!!"
Yi Tianxing didn't hesitate. With a swift motion, he unleashed a supreme divine ability. A massive Starshatter Hammer emerged, radiating endless divine light. Expanding to thousands of feet in size, it descended from the heavens like a meteor, ruthlessly smashing down toward Wuxin.
The hammer was infused with supreme True Intent, surrounded by eight tribulation-level rings of starlight, swirling and transforming around it.
Wherever it passed, space shattered and collapsed.
There was only one will embedded in the blow—to smash, to crush, to kill.
"Demon Buddha Body!"
In an instant, a pitch-black Buddhist light burst from Wuxin's body. His entire figure transformed into a Demonic Buddha, shining with an indestructible demonic glow. The pressure it exerted on the surrounding space was immense. Towering at several thousand feet, demonic chants echoed behind him, and a black halo emerged, floating behind his head. Within it, one could vaguely see a rotating, jet-black sarira.
The Demonic Buddha Body—eternal and undying.
"Demonic Palm of the Tathagata – Demonic Surge Over Mountains and Rivers!!"
Without delay, Wuxin reacted. A colossal Buddhist palm thrust toward the Starshatter Hammer. Within that palm surged endless demonic intent. One could see legions of evil demons destroying mountains and rivers, collapsing the lands, and bringing boundless annihilation in their wake. The Demonic Buddha's strike overturned the heavens—mountains and rivers bled under its might.
Boom!!
When the hammer and the demonic palm collided, a deafening shockwave exploded, and the terrifying power radiated outward in all directions. Starlight and black light clashed in the void, annihilating each other.
In the midst of the stalemate, as both forces were about to cancel each other out, the dimming demonic palm suddenly burst with blinding demonic light. Chants echoed endlessly, demonic sounds roared like oceans. The power within it suddenly surged.
This surge wasn't just a mere doubling.
In a blink, the strength multiplied by sixty-four times.
It was like a mudfish transforming into a true dragon—a complete upheaval. The earlier palm strike was already strong enough to suppress most Dao Platform realm powerhouses, even crush them. That level already stood at the pinnacle of the genius tier. But now, with a sixty-four-fold increase, it was as if he leapt from the mundane to the divine, breaking through all barriers and stepping directly into the Dao-Proving Realm level of combat strength.
The Seven-Orificed Exquisite Demonic Heart possessed miraculous effects. For each orifice opened, all aspects of one's power—physical body, mana, soul, primordial spirit—would be amplified. One orifice doubled the power.
This amplification could be activated at will.
Two orifices: 2×
Three orifices: 4×
Four: 8×
Five: 16×
Six: 32×
Seven orifices fully open: 64× power.
Now, Wuxin had opened all seven orifices. Within each, he had evolved an independent world, transforming them into Demonic Buddha Realms. Even without external blessings, this alone multiplied his strength by 64 times.
The resulting destructive power was unimaginable.
In an instant, the star rings circling the Starshatter Hammer began to shatter, the martial True Intent rapidly disintegrating—forcefully collapsed. The enormous demonic palm then pressed toward Yi Tianxing like a mountain, as if it would crush him in a single blow.
The stronger the cultivator, the more lethal their battle. Between life-and-death enemies, there was no such thing as probing attacks. Hesitation could lead to death in the next second. Thus, the higher the cultivation, the shorter the battles—unless perfectly matched, the first move was always a killing blow.
If the attack wasn't aimed to kill, it had no meaning at all.
At Yi Tianxing's level, this principle was even more true. Unless one reached the Saint tier, where victory and defeat became almost impossible to determine, at the Dao-Proving level, life and death could still be decided. If one could strike to kill, there would be no hesitation. Wuxin embodied this philosophy to the extreme.
This single strike could seriously injure even a Dao-Proving powerhouse.
"Seal of Hell!"
"Heaven-Flipping Seal!"…"Seal of the Lunar Yin!"
"Seal of the Solar Yang!!"
In an instant, Yi Tianxing's blood surged like a vast sea, rising to the sky and engulfing the heavens and earth, transforming the area into a furnace of vital energy.
Eight divine seals simultaneously appeared around him, rotating in orbit. Each one radiated a tangible aura, akin to that of an innate spiritual treasure. Space visibly distorted, creating terrifying chaotic imagery.
"Eight Seals Unite – Heavenly Emperor Seal!!"
The eight divine seals converged above his head and fused in an instant. Radiant divine light burst forth. In the next moment, the eight vanished—replaced by a single, purple-gold divine seal, etched with the characters "Heavenly Emperor". The moment it appeared, heaven and earth fell silent.
Vast blood energy surged into the Heavenly Emperor Seal, causing its power to soar explosively.
Heavenly Emperor Divine Sovereign Physique!!
Yi Tianxing's body instantly grew to thousands of feet. Clad in a chaotic dragon imperial robe, he grasped the Heavenly Emperor Seal. Supreme imperial majesty radiated in all directions, like a peerless Heavenly Emperor shaking the world. Simultaneously, an invisible pressure descended.
This pressure was beyond imagination—it was as if the will of the heavens pressed down upon all beneath it. Every creature under that aura felt their power suppressed.
Heavenly Might of the Emperor!!
Under the boost of Heavenly Might, at this moment, Yi Tianxing became the true Heavenly Emperor. Wielding the Heavenly Emperor Seal, he exercised the ultimate authority that belonged to the Heavenly Emperor.
Under this might, even Wuxin's overwhelming aura was visibly suppressed—reduced by at least 30%. This was the innate divine power of the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sovereign Physique. The once-terrifying demonic palm now faltered; the raging demonic flames began to subside.
Thirty percent.
A full thirty percent suppression.
Don't underestimate this—it could completely flip the battle.
"What terrifying pressure… Even my power is being suppressed by 30%. What divine power is this? No ordinary ability could wield such might. As expected, I've progressed, but Yi Tianxing hasn't stood still either. His strength… is even more terrifying than before."
Wuxin's heart trembled. He had already been prepared, knowing this fight would not be easy.
Thirty percent—it was too terrifying.
Appearing on the battlefield, such a force was a massive threat.
Especially that Heavenly Emperor Seal—from it emanated not just boundless blood energy, but also vast surging mana. It connected with the heavens and the earth, condensed heavenly will, and became the Will of the Heavenly Emperor, ruling the cosmos.
At the same time, with a single thought, countless worlds within the Heavenly Emperor Pagoda inside Yi Tianxing's body merged with him, empowering the Heavenly Emperor Seal.
"I am the Heavenly Emperor—and I shall sweep away all enemies!!"
His voice rang out like heavenly thunder, shaking the world. The Heavenly Emperor Seal, thousands of feet large, smashed down toward Wuxin.
Boom!!
The seal collided directly with the demonic palm.
Wuxin's face changed drastically. From the Heavenly Emperor Seal, he felt an overwhelming, unstoppable force roaring toward him—capable of crushing and annihilating everything.
"How is this possible? How has his combat power soared to such heights? Dao-Proving Realm… This definitely reaches the Dao-Proving level. And even among Dao-Proving cultivators, few can match him. A monster… He's truly a peerless monster."
Wuxin nearly coughed up blood. He, too, was a monstrous genius capable of fighting across realms. His power could rival the Dao-Proving level. But Yi Tianxing—he could outright crush them. His aura felt like it could shatter everything, obliterate all.
No divine ability, no True Intent could stand under that Heavenly Emperor Seal.
It was pure power—absolute strength.
No matter what you have—I crush it all.
One force to break ten thousand techniques.
"Demonic Buddha Realms, lend me your strength!!"
Without hesitation, Wuxin's body resonated with endless demonic chants. Behind him, seven worlds suddenly appeared. In each of these worlds, countless believers of the Demonic Buddha were praying fanatically, radiating burning faith. They had entirely surrendered their bodies and souls—living only for their faith. Their sense of self no longer existed.
In an instant, vast torrents of faith power surged into Wuxin's body. The strength of the seven realms fused with him. The dimming demonic palm regained its brilliance, once again rising to push back the falling Heavenly Emperor Seal.
"Mere mantis trying to stop a chariot—overestimating yourself."
Yi Tianxing's eyes remained indifferent as he slowly spoke.
As his words fell, the Heavenly Emperor Seal flared with divine radiance once again. It had not been stopped—it continued its descent. In an instant, the demonic palm was crushed to pieces. The Heavenly Emperor Seal slammed into Wuxin's Demonic Buddha Body.
Boom!!!
With an earth-shaking roar, the massive Demonic Buddha Body, like an ancient divine mountain, was shattered—cracked like a spiderweb and then completely destroyed.
In the void, only a single seven-colored, glass-like heart remained, floating in the sky. Within it, seven mystical apertures could be seen, and within each aperture—a world.
