~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He Yiming stood like an iron man, his dark eyebrows pulled together, and a pair of cold, terrifying eyes shining brightly. The moment the twenty-first stance of the Mountain-Splitting Thirty-Six Forms was unleashed from his hands, he seemed like a master in control of everything, exuding an aura of dominion over the world.
The pressure caused by this aura was in no way inferior to that of Suo Ge, who had seemingly transformed into a terrifying beast.
Two vastly different, yet equally powerful, auras fiercely intertwined, seemingly solidifying the entire space.
He Yiming's eyes widened, and he suddenly let out a loud roar. With this roar, the True Qi within his body surged out wildly, creating an extremely strange phenomenon with the external True Qi.
At this moment, the heavy feeling brought by the aura seemed to become real.
If the oppression of the aura merely affected each person's consciousness, merely exerting pressure within their thoughts, then at this moment, the result of He Yiming's True Qi was a tangible, physical pressure.
The Totem Emissaries, who had been full of vitality moments ago, all changed their expressions dramatically. Like many of the Innate experts, they felt this incredibly real pressure. It was as if countless hands were pressing them firmly in place, and even a slight movement required immense effort.
Everyone's expressions changed. Those who didn't understand the reason were naturally bewildered, and apart from the fear in their hearts, they didn't comprehend what was happening.
However, those from major sects or with knowledge of higher realms knew what this meant.
Their gazes towards He Yiming were filled with envy and a subtle hint of fear.
He Yiming had actually begun to grasp a method for solidifying his own True Qi.
This was the first step towards the Three Flowers Gather at the Summit realm, and also the most difficult one to take.
Although Yu Jinglei could already solidify two flowers, and they appeared far more stable than the Flower of Water He Yiming was solidifying at this moment. However, Yu Jinglei absolutely could not achieve this step.
This was because Yu Jinglei's solidified two flowers merely refined the True Qi within his body. No matter how solidly he refined them, they could not affect the external Heaven and Earth Qi in any way.
This was because he only cultivated two element cultivation techniques, unable to achieve the balance of a tripod, and thus unable to support the entire world.
Therefore, his two flowers were always like rootless duckweed, forever unable to advance to the true Three Flowers Gather at the Summit realm.
However, He Yiming was different. Although he hadn't truly solidified the Flower of Water at this moment, his solidified True Qi, when released, could affect the Heaven and Earth Qi to a certain extent.
This was the true path to Three Flowers Gather at the Summit.
It was just that most people only managed to evoke the resonance of Heaven and Earth Qi, causing substantial physical oppression to others, when they had already solidified three flowers and were about to reach the summit.
Yet, He Yiming, even without a single Flower of Water solidified, had already demonstrated such power.
Although in terms of power, it was far from comparable to the true Three Flowers Gather at the Summit seniors who were about to succeed, it seemed as if they could break free with a little effort.
However, this feeling was enough to drive everyone crazy.
They knew that as long as He Yiming could survive, within a few decades at most, he would be able to solidify three flowers and succeed in reaching the summit.
Moreover, with He Yiming's advancement speed, it would likely take far less than a few decades.
Suo Ge, who was charging forward, also seemed to sense this incredible power. A ferocious glint flashed in his blood-red eyes. It seemed that the stronger his opponent, the greater his interest.
Behind him, the massive wolf head, which had almost materialized, suddenly opened its mouth wide, and an incredible force sprayed out from it.
The space seemed to ripple with visible power fluctuations.
This power, spat from the wolf's mouth, instantly destroyed the still thin, solidified power in the void.
Including the many Totem Emissaries, they all felt a lightness in their bodies. Although the pressure He Yiming brought to them was not immense, the psychological pressure was overwhelming.
Fortunately, Suo Ge was now displaying his might. The Heaven and Earth Qi changes caused by the phantom wolf head actually dispersed He Yiming's pressure, as if blowing away the shadow in their hearts.
You have the genius He Yiming, and we have the great emissary Suo Ge. Who will win or lose is yet to be known...
After the giant wolf head exhaled, it became a bit fainter. However, Suo Ge let out another sharp howl, and a strange blood-red color surged onto his face. Instantly, the wolf head above him became clear again, and together with him, it charged towards He Yiming like Mount Tai pressing down.
Although his form seemed to have transformed into a beast, his heart was as calm as a thousand-year-old black ice, with no emotions capable of disturbing him.
After seeing He Yiming's posture at this moment, he knew it was an extremely profound stance. If he were to face this stance normally, he would never choose to clash head-on. But now he was committed, and although this form could unleash maximum power, it could not last long, so the battle had to end in the shortest possible time.
Even if there were mountains of blades and seas of fire ahead, even if there were thousands of troops, he could only move forward, with no way back...
The real man and the phantom wolf, at this moment, seemed to become a complete entity, smashing down towards He Yiming like a meteor chasing the moon.
Such an aura, such prestige, even the heavens and earth seemed to tremble slightly.
Everyone watched this scene in astonishment, their minds wondering if they, in their shoes, could withstand this impact.
However, at that very moment, He Yiming looked up.
He opened his mouth...
Just like the phantom wolf had exhaled moments ago, he too exhaled all the air and all the True Qi he had inhaled into his belly at this moment.
A beautiful, vibrant azure flower sprayed out from his mouth.
This was a soul-stirring flower, its colors so bright and dazzling that anyone who saw it would feel an urge to possess it.
At this very moment, a strikingly consistent thought surged in everyone's minds.
He Yiming's Water Element power was so pure, without a single trace of impurity. No wonder his Water Element power could cause changes in the Heaven and Earth Qi. It was truly incomprehensible how he could cultivate a single-element power to such a refined degree!
Others were unclear, but He Yiming knew that this flower was more solidified than ever before. Facing a powerful enemy like Suo Ge, he had completely ignited his potential, unleashing even greater power.
Suo Ge exclaimed, and the virtual wolf head surprisingly charged out first, colliding with this beautiful Flower of Water that seemed to want to penetrate human souls.
"Boom..."
It was as if two mountains had collided in mid-air, creating a deafening roar.
Explosions continuously echoed in the air, and the force of the impact far surpassed the Heaven and Earth Qi that had been stirred up earlier.
Suddenly, everyone felt the ground beneath their feet give way drastically, and then their bodies slid rapidly to one side.
"Be careful, the mountain is collapsing," Medicine Daoist roared.
Medicine Daoist, who had lived in the mountains for a long time, instantly assessed the current situation.
Upon hearing his shout, everyone relaxed instead.
A landslide was a matter of nine deaths and one life for ordinary people, but for them, unless they deliberately sought death by standing still, the possibility of being buried alive by a landslide was truly small.
For a time, dust flew everywhere. The narrow mountain path they were on, under the impact of several Innate experts, finally collapsed completely.
Everyone displayed their unique abilities, leaping up from the rubble. Any shattered stones that came near them were swatted away like flies.
However, even at this moment, the sounds of rushing wind continued to echo in everyone's ears.
Those sounds, like sharp swords, created piercing screeches that persisted even amidst the landslide.
A hint of sorrow arose in everyone's hearts. It turned out that the gap between themselves and them was so vast.
※※※※
He Yiming's aura had reached its peak, and the twenty-first stance was fully charged. As long as he could blast away the flaunting True Qi wolf behind the opponent's head in one breath, he was absolutely confident he could defeat Suo Ge.
After all, the confidence the Mountain-Splitting Thirty-Six Forms gave him was incredibly immense.
However, the sudden change underfoot greatly startled him.
Due to the void beneath his feet, this incredibly powerful stance in his hand could not be unleashed no matter what.
If it were someone else, it would surely be a disaster. But He Yiming merely moved his body slightly, and the powerful Metal Element True Qi returned to his Dantian, and an endless flow of Water Element True Qi surged forth.
Then, amidst the dust that obscured the sky, He Yiming, like a maggot attached to bone, circled Suo Ge, who was also forced to change his cultivation technique. However, this time Suo Ge seemed to have been prepared, and He Yiming did not seize the initiative. The two continued to clash on this collapsed land.
Finally, when all the dust settled, apart from the two people who were fiercely fighting, the others looked around in astonishment.
The two sides had already leapt to opposite sides, facing each other across the collapsed area.
And He Yiming and Suo Ge had fought from the mountainside down to the bottom of the cliff.
Everyone exchanged glances, and Mao Lieguang suddenly whispered, "Lunatics, truly two lunatics."
Although others didn't respond, the same meaning could be seen in everyone's eyes.
These two, lunatics who didn't know how to live or die...
※※※※
The mountain wind, carrying the roar of pine trees, rolled in from afar like a turbulent ocean, with terrifying sound waves. It swept across the cliff top, through the trees, against the rock walls, and against the people, creating a frightening din. Sometimes, it even let out sharp wails, as if mountain demons were patrolling outside.
Amidst the mountain wind and flying dust, two figures danced with unparalleled speed. Their movements were as fast as lightning, as agile as foxes. Even in this extremely dangerous place, they continued to leap up and down, fighting with great enjoyment.
He Yiming's movement technique was derived from his understanding of wind and rain. In such a dangerous environment, it could unleash its most powerful might. His body seemed to have merged into the wind, without any weight, letting the strong wind carry him away from his original position, then suddenly bringing him to the other side, ready to deliver a fatal blow to Suo Ge at any moment.
However, across from him, Suo Ge's Light Body Technique seemed to be no less impressive.
He crouched, like a human-shaped Giant Wolf, unbelievably agile.
At this moment, Suo Ge's shoes had long since burst and disappeared. His feet were arched like longbows, and once they touched the mountain wall, they instantly bounced up high like springs. Rising and falling, he treated this steep cliff as a flat road.
He Yiming naturally didn't know that for these powerful individuals who lived in the mountains, such an environment was also the most suitable for them to display their abilities.
The two of them thus entangled themselves and descended to the bottom of the cliff. Their four eyes, hidden amidst the wind and dust, met faintly, each filled with a thick, almost tangible murderous intent.
They even knew that on this day, only one person would likely leave alive, but they both had absolute confidence that it would be themselves.
He Yiming's Five Elements True Qi circulated endlessly. At this moment, he had entered a state of seeming disregard for everything else. The True Qi of different attributes flowed effortlessly, as if perfectly harmonized, unleashing boundless power.
Of course, he also restrained himself, not deploying the Ice True Qi and the final Five Elements fusion of the Guan Broadsword.
This was his ultimate trump card, and under the gaze of over ten Innate experts above, he was unwilling to expose all his cards so easily.
Moreover, he also faintly sensed that although Suo Ge appeared fierce and his eyes were blood-red like a wild beast's, he still seemed to have reserves of strength.
This feeling was what truly made him wary. Even to deal with the opponent's unrevealed trump card, he could not act recklessly without limit.
On the mountain wall, rows of footprints, some neat, some chaotic, were left behind.
Each of these footprints was deeply embedded, as if the path taken was not a hard mountain wall, but a muddy ground.
Under the destruction of Innate experts' True Qi, even this mountain wall, which had withstood countless years of wind and rain unharmed, was rendered useless.
With two soft thuds, almost simultaneously, He Yiming's and Suo Ge's feet touched the ground.
The moment their feet solidly met the ground, their expressions suddenly tightened.
The previous carefree, seemingly light exchange of blows had completely dissipated. Their auras instantly rose to their peak once more.
At this moment, whoever's aura gained the upper hand would seize the initiative.
Both of them were willing to pay any price for this.
Suo Ge's eyes grew even redder, not just the pupils, but even the whites. If anyone saw this, they would surely suspect he was a demon and not human.
His clothes burst open inch by inch, revealing his unnaturally strong muscles on his shoulders, which bulged out of his torn clothes like steel castings, full of power.
If it weren't for the Red Wolf vest being so tough, he would likely be completely naked by now.
His body slightly hunched, he suddenly charged forward, like a tank, or an ancient giant beast, displaying his power to the fullest at this moment.
His hands were raised high. In the eyes of others, these no longer seemed like human hands, but terrifying wolf claws that had torn countless lives apart.
As soon as He Yiming's feet touched the ground, his palms immediately returned to their initial stance.
Mountain-Splitting Thirty-Six Forms, Twenty-First Stance, this powerful skill that seemed only learnable by entering another martial arts hall, was now unleashed without reservation.
In the mountain pass on the mountainside, when the two of them gathered all their strength, intending to fight to the death, the entire mountain path couldn't withstand the power they unleashed and collapsed. But at this moment, they had reached the bottom of the cliff. The solid feeling of their feet on the ground allowed them to use their most skilled martial arts for a life-or-death battle.
After another loud bang, He Yiming remained still like a mountain. His body stood tall like a thousand-year-old pine, with a hint of fearless pride in his eyes and brows.
When practicing the Mountain-Splitting Thirty-Six Forms, he had a peculiar feeling.
The first twelve stances were cultivation techniques for the Acquired Realm, while the thirteenth to twentieth stances, although powerful, were at most martial techniques cultivated by Innate experts who had just advanced from the Hundred Scattered Heavens Realm to the Single-Line Sky Realm.
But from the twenty-first stance onwards, they were skills exclusively for powerful individuals who could solidify True Qi.
He Yiming only truly mastered this twenty-first stance after barely solidifying half a Flower of Water.
At this moment, this stance, unleashed by He Yiming, indeed displayed extraordinary power.
The vertical palms were like two giant axes, smashing open the two wolf claws that Suo Ge had materialized, and striking his terrifyingly bulging body.
Suo Ge, who charged high, although fierce-looking, was filled with a massive murderous aura, as if he had slaughtered thousands of living beings.
However, after a head-on clash with He Yiming, he was mercilessly sent flying backward. And in mid-air, a shower of blood was already falling.
He Yiming's eyes brightened. Just as he was about to let out a long, defiant roar, he heard Suo Ge, who had already flown back, first raise his head and let out a wolf howl a hundred times more unpleasant than a ghost's wail.
"Aoooo..."
The sound spread far and wide, instantly crossing countless mountain peaks.
Immediately after, another wolf howl, seemingly even more desolate, came from afar. The two rapidly approached, and even He Yiming couldn't stop them!
