Heaven-engulfing power ca down like a tsunami that reached toward the heavens.
When the Jewel Immortal Sovereign unleashed all her might, everyone sensed just how terrifying her power really was, and they began to put themselves in Tang Jie's shoes, speculating on whether they could block this attack and how long they could do it for.
That deluge of Divine Connections put the power of a Soul Projection Celestial Sovereign on full display. If she were allowed to continue, she could even punch a hole through the heavens themselves.
The Infinite Palace groaned under the weight of all these attacks.
While the Five Elents Dao power was sturdy, it was not endless. Tang Jie could sense his Dao power quickly draining, the Dao Runes in his body dimming.
The Infinite Palace had once shattered from eleven of the Jewel Immortal Sovereign's fingers, and it seed like she was about to repeat her feat.
But this ti, Tang Jie wasn't restricted to just helplessly watching.
Standing on the raised platform, Tang Jie howled and unleashed seven Ten Extinctions Blade in a row at the Jewel Immortal Sovereign. These Ten Extinctions Blades were particularly powerful, wreathed in the Pale Cloud Fla.
This fla was a supre sacred fla once possessed by the Fla Celestial Sovereign, but in the past, Tang Jie had been unable to use its full power. As Tang Jie had grown in power, so had the Pale Cloud Fla, and it was no weaker than any other sacred fla. As the fla swept out, it transford into countless fire birds and beasts to attack Jewel.
Jewel laughed. "You know I have a sacred beast that can eat flas, yet you still dare to try this?"
As she spoke, her original body slapped the Ink Jade wagon, upon which the nine Fireglass Snakes lunged at the Pale Cloud Fla.
The Fireglass Snakes loved to eat fire, and they could even swallow the Pale Cloud Fla without a problem, so they directly countered Tang Jie's fla attack.
Tang Jie laughed. "I know you have fire snakes, but you definitely don't know what I have."
Jewel was startled, instantly realizing she was in trouble. Suddenly, the nine Fireglass Snakes opened their mouths and hissed in pain, spitting out blue flas.
These blue flas were none other than the Deicide Fla.
While Fireglass Snakes could swallow exotic flas, there were so that they could not digest, and the Deicide Fla was one of them.
This fla was simply too powerful, making up for what it lacked flexibility-wise compared to the Pale Cloud Fla. Even after reaching Deification and entering the Dao of Fire, Tang Jie still couldn't completely control the Deicide Fla. But while complete control was impossible, he could control its size, and with the Pale Cloud Fla serving as a cover, he had managed to hide the Deicide Fla within it. The Fireglass Snakes didn't know this, but once they had devoured the flas, they imdiately knew that they had eaten sothing they shouldn't have. The Deicide Fla burned them up from within, but thanks to the innate attributes of the Fireglass Snakes, they were spared from being burned to ash. However, the fla raging within them caused them to wildly pull on the wagon.
The wagon was dragged around here and there, and since they were blocked from moving horizontally, the nine snakes rushed up to the sky, much to Jewel's alarm—she would lose if she left Heavenly Balance Mountain.
Shocked and enraged, Jewel hastily acted to stop the Fireglass Snakes.
But having been burned by the Deicide Fla, the Fireglass Snakes weren't easy to control at all, even spitting their flas at Jewel. Those raging blue flas were so powerful that even Jewel had to deal with them cautiously, which ant that she could no longer pay any attention to Tang Jie.
Without the original body using the Fixlight Bottle to restrain Tang Jie, his movents were no longer hindered, and he bellowed and punched at the sky.
As this strike slamd into the empty air, the air rippled like water.
Yet these were no ripples, but waves of spiritual energy, howling outward like a furious storm.
The Ring Rending Strike!
This was the second of the moves in the Combat Emperor Catalog. While the initial strike hit empty air, the subsequent attack swept up everything in its surroundings in a furious tide of energy. Even the Three Pure Bodies were caught up in the wave and sent tumbling through the air.
Tang Jie used this mont to make another punch, and Jewel saw a giant fist flying out of the distance, exuding an unstoppable aura that threatened to pulverize everything in its way.
This was the strongest of the twelve Combat Emperor Catalog Strikes Tang Jie had learned: the Spirit Tearing Strike!
The first six moves of the Combat Emperor Catalog focused on using physical power and were also aid at physical power, while the middle six strikes targeted the soul, which was why they had nas ntioning the soul or spirit.
This strike wasn't necessarily stronger than the Devil Crushing Strike, but it was many tis stronger than it when it ca to the Divine Soul. To deal with Jewel, Tang Jie had cast aside the order and used his strongest strike, but even so, the combat aura he exuded almost instantly doubled compared to what it was before.
Jewel said in alarm, "You were acting weak!?"
Of course he had been. Having already reached the peak middle-grade Immortal Spirit Body, Tang Jie couldn't possibly have been suppressed by Jewel's assault. But he had been holding himself back so that he could find the right mont, and the Deicide Fla had thrown off Jewel enough for Tang Jie to unleash his explosive attack.
He was well aware of how powerful and scary the Jewel Immortal Sovereign's Three Pure Bodies were. The four combined could simply drown him to death with Divine Connections. If he let her use this strategy, he would end up losing like he had to Xiao Biehan. This was why he had chosen this strategy.
He had even consud his own lifespan to heal himself in order to keep up the act.
The punch soared like a shooting star into the Jade Pure Body.
The Jade Pure Body let out a scream of pain.
Among the Three Pure Bodies, the Jade Pure Body had the strongest attack but the weakest defense. Tang Jie had put all his strength into the punch, unleashing a surge of supre strength. At that mont, Jewel realized that she wouldn't be able to protect the Jade Pure Body. The Jade Pure Body let out a sharp whistle and threw out the snake coiled around her body. Clenching her teeth, she ford a black and red vortex around her to defend against this punch.
Tang Jie's punch struck the vortex, the energy within it rushing out. Much to everyone's shock, all of that fierce energy was sucked into the vortex, leaving nothing behind. Could even this heaven-shaking strike from Tang Jie do nothing to the Jewel Immortal Sovereign?
Suddenly, a crack appeared on the Jade Pure Body's face.
More and more cracks spread across her body, and ultimately, the avatar shattered and disappeared.
Obliterated in a single strike!
As the Jade Pure Body was only an avatar created through the mantra, its Divine Soul was much weaker than the original. This plus the fact that the Spirit Tearing Strike specifically targeted the Divine Soul ant that it had taken only one strike to destroy it.
Of course, Tang Jie had planned everything out precisely for this mont. Repeating the feat would be very difficult.
"NOOOO!" The Jewel Immortal Sovereign erupted in rage.
Creating these Three Pure Bodies had not been easy, and each one had their own unique use. Moreover, together, they ford the Three Purities World, each one serving as a supporting pillar. Tang Jie had now hacked one of them down, which had a massive effect on the small world, even threatening to collapse it. How could she not be enraged over this?
As the Jade Pure Body dissipated, the Three Purities World trembled and swayed, showing its instability.
Jewel howled in anger, and she pointed at Tang Jie. "You will pay for this!"
The Grand Pure Body and Supre Pure Body raised their arms, and all of the Three Purities World began to sway, transforming into an azure gale that swept toward Tang Jie.
This was the power of the Three Purities World, and one of the Jewel Immortal Sovereign's ultimate moves.
Alas, Tang Jie had cut down one of its supports before she had even had a chance to use it, greatly damaging it. Enraged, the Jewel Immortal Sovereign decided to gather up all of its power and use it to crush Tang Jie.
In this aspect, Tang Jie had actually made an error, for he had pushed Jewel into a dead end.
But even if he had known that things would turn out this way, Tang Jie wouldn't have regretted it.
He wasn't inclined to play the part of a punching bag. As that azure gale swept toward him, he simply laughed and threw a punch at the power of this small world.
Wave Reversing Strike!
This punch was all about pushing against the current. The stronger the attack, the fiercer the counter strike would be.
As Tang Jie punched at the power of Jewel's Three Purities World, the world swayed and its plants withered. The fierce power of the Wave Reversing Strike had not just fended off the Jewel Immortal Sovereign's attack, it even pushed her back.
The spectating cultivators were all stunned.
"Is this the power of the Martial Lord's body cultivator legacy? As expected of a divine existence of High Antiquity!" Reverend Wuwang stroked his beard and smiled.
The battle had reached a white-hot intensity.
The Jewel Immortal Sovereign was no longer holding back, and Tang Jie had used two strikes of the Combat Emperor Catalog back to back and taken the advantage.
But Tang Jie knew that advantage didn't an victory. The Combat Emperor Catalog was powerful, but its greatest flaw was that he could only unleash twelve strikes and would be powerless afterward. If he could not settle his victory in those twelve strikes, any advantage he had gained in the anti would be pointless.
But how could just a few punches be enough to defeat Jewel?
Jewel's face flashed red as she howled, "A good punch, but this one would like to see how many more such punches you can make!"
The Jewel Immortal Sovereign had abundant battle experience and had imdiately noticed the flaw of the Combat Emperor Catalog. Even though she was at a disadvantage, she remained unafraid. With a wave of her sleeve, that world power continued to surge forward.
The Grand Pure Body and Supre Pure Body also unleashed all their power. The Supre Pure Body threw out her golden hoop, which transford into a giant golden ring that sought to cast itself onto Tang Jie's head. The snake the Jade Pure Body had thrown out before her death also turned into a giant snake and attempted to take a bite at Tang Jie's head.
The Grand Pure Body seed very simple, but it had the Hand of Myriad Wonders, which granted her the greatest variety of moves. With a wave of her hand, she summoned a chilling wave that sealed the valley in ice.
Jewel herself pointed her finger at the air, the bottle paralyzing Tang Jie once more and the nine snakes spewing the Deicide Fla back at Tang Jie, getting themselves out of their own crisis in doing so.
Tang Jie knew that this was a critical mont, and as that wave of attacks approached, he let out a roar:
"Stop!"
Through the power of Law Speaking, the power of the world trembled.
This single roar had even caused so of its power to collapse.
Tang Jie threw out three punches.
Fierce Gale Strike!
Thousand Heavens Strike!
Illusion Crushing Strike!
The Fierce Gale Strike stirred countless walls of wind. The Thousand Heavens Strike, though it was only one punch, filled the sky with phantom fists. As for the Illusion Crushing Strike, it was second to the Reincarnation Strike among the six middle strikes. It was stronger than the Spirit Rending Strike, able to make all things vanish in a single punch.
The terrifying power of these three punches filled the valley. The valley couldn't hold all this power, and it was sent upward like a volcanic eruption.
These punches obliterated the endless army generated by the banner, halted the sea of trees, stymied the wave of ice, and stopped the golden hoop right over Tang Jie's head. As for the Deicide Fla, Tang Jie called it back before it could hurt him. Only that massive snake from the Jade Pure Body refused to give up, throwing itself at Tang Jie in an attempt to devour him, and as a result, the Thousand Heavens Strike blasted away half of its head.
Even then, the snake didn't give up. A dark bolt of energy shot out of its mouth. It just so happened that the Infinite Palace shattered at this mont, allowing that dark energy to strike Tang Jie in the shoulder. This threw Tang Jie's blood energy into turmoil, which allowed the golden hoop to smash into his head, flattening his skull. But as he was knocked down, a punch flew out of the air and struck the Jewel Immortal Sovereign in the back, causing her to stagger and her complexion to pale.
This strike was the Void Light Strike, the only stealth attack of the Combat Emperor Catalog. There was no indication given when this punch was made, allowing it to catch the opponent completely off guard.
In this round, both sides had suffered injury.
Tang Jie's injuries seed worse than the Jewel Immortal Sovereign's, his brains splattered everywhere, but his recovery powers were also stronger than Jewel's, so in an actual comparison, it was Jewel who was worse off.
The two of them gazed at each other, and then they roared in unison.
Tang Jie's berserk roar made him seem like an incarnation of the god of war.
And with a wave of the Jewel Immortal Sovereign's hand, the Supre Pure Body and Grand Pure Body rged with her, disappearing into Jewel along with the Three Purities World.
As all of her power returned to her, Jewel began to radiate a supre aura.
Her terrifying presence made her seem like a god high in the heavens.
The majestic Jewel Immortal Sovereign bellowed in fury, "Tang Jie, for the feat of destroying one of my avatars and forcing this far, you can be proud! I have seen your Dao Arts, so now, let show my own Dao Art!
"Gale of Dancing Void!"
