Bibi Dong gripped the pontiffs scepter tightly out of nervousness, the veins on her arm bulging slightly.
Facing Tang Xiao's increasingly aggressive actions, she felt a sense of familiarity, reminiscent of the Rakshasa God.
"Five hundred thousand years... isn't that something only a god could possess? At the very least, a demigod."
Devil Bear Douluo, that old fool, was the first to lose his composure; having witnessed Chu Feng's nine layers of red spirit rings, he simply could not withstand the pressure of a five hundred thousand year spirit bone.
"What has the Clear Sky Sect gone through these past twenty years?" Ghost Douluo exclaimed.
Chrysanthemum Douluo clutched his chest with a miserable expression, unable to suppress his previous internal injuries any longer as blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
The other All Elders were constantly wiping bean-sized drops of sweat from their foreheads; their years of experience could not keep them steady in the face of this scene.
But was five hundred thousand years truly equivalent to a god?
According to the original settings, even million-year Spirit Beasts were still quite far from godhood.
However, there were currently no Spirit Bones of such a high age, and the number of corresponding five hundred thousand year Spirit Beasts was essentially zero.
Furthermore, they were even rarer and more important than spirit rings, so a direct comparison would likely equate them to the effects of self-created skills from some low-level gods.
Nevertheless, once these Spirit Bones were used on the continent, it would be the most breathtaking sight imaginable.
Tang Xiao was currently merging these Spirit Bones, and sounds of tearing and snapping echoed continuously from within his flesh.
Blood-colored drifting winds passed through him strand by strand, manifesting the favor bestowed upon him by the Asura God.
Chu Feng felt that excessive greed never ends well; even a small competition could make Tang Xiao willing to sell his life to the darkness.
Compared to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile, it seemed the character of the Clear Sky Sect was not much better.
Qian Renxue managed to squeeze to the front of the crowd at this moment, but Chu Feng gave his familiar wave, signaling her to stay back.
Then he shrugged, a golden light suddenly appearing in his right palm as a square platform emerged, with a round bead embedded on top.
He had waited all this time, and finally, there was an opportunity to bring out this magical treasure.
This was the Immortal Grade Spiritual Treasure, the heaven overturning seal; it was cyan-green all over, its simple engravings revealing the domineering side of immortal qi.
The greatest feature of this item was that it would automatically lock onto an enemy after use, specifically smashing people's skulls, and the state of the victim after death was exceptionally tragic.
"I won't use spirit power, but can I use this item of mine?"
Chu Feng held up the heaven overturning seal for everyone to see clearly.
Tang Xiao laughed dismissively, "As you wish. Can such a small object compare to my three super Spirit Bones?"
In terms of outward appearance, it certainly couldn't; after using the Spirit Bones, Tang Xiao was clad in a set of silver heavy armor, with lightning jumping wildly across it.
Chu Feng spoke again, "That's what you said. I have asked for your opinion, so don't regret it."
"What, have you learned to talk nonsense too? If you have the ability, take this hammer of mine."
Tang Xiao's confidence had reached its peak; he lifted the Clear Sky Hammer and wielded it in a wild whirl.
The Great Cathedral could no longer withstand it, collapsing outward in all directions with a thunderous boom, and the ground of Spirit City immediately caved in entirely.
These three Spirit Bones must have made his physical body infinitely close to a god, and he had surely learned new skills; only then would Tang Xiao roar so wildly.
"Let me show you the new Clear Sky Nine Absolutes: Asura Absolute Will Clear Sky Stance!"
Tang Xiao first fully displayed the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes through the nine normal force-exertion methods. The nine characters—Void, Seal, Pierce, Penetrate, Entwine, Tremor, Break, Snap, and Collapse—appeared one after another in the air, then all overlapped and merged into a tangled mess.
Then the Clear Sky Hammer broke through the center and swung down, as the faint shadow of the Asura God became若隐若现.
Civilians within hundreds of meters were tragically turned directly into bloody water, and Spirit Masters with low spirit power were completely crippled.
The scene became a burial ground for Asura, this hammer strike carrying an infinite, violent intent of bloody slaughter!
Chu Feng remained motionless—he said he wouldn't move a step, and he didn't—throwing the small heaven overturning seal to meet the attack head-on.
The heaven overturning seal appeared exceptionally small and delicate before the massive Clear Sky Hammer, but upon impact, it radiated ten thousand feet of radiant light.
The radiant light swept away the gloom, drawing down the sun's glory from the heavens to spill across the land.
The withered ground gradually began to glow with brilliant colors; it was the Golden Immortal Power of deification that had been summoned by Chu Feng.
Seeing this, Tang Xiao glanced at the ground; in an instant, he felt as if his heart was being carved while still alive.
Meanwhile, those among the crowd who still had enough spirit power to move desperately scrambled toward Chu Feng's vicinity.
Because within this web of drifting light woven from Golden Immortal Power, they could recover to their original state with full spirit power in moments.
Boom!
The Clear Sky Hammer continued its display of power, and the Spirit Bones bestowed upon Tang Xiao by Asura actually showed protruding marks within his flesh; in the end, was the human the host, or were the bones?
But that didn't matter; the heaven overturning seal also surged with momentum, like a small diamond drill that, with a little effort, drilled through the Clear Sky Hammer.
What! The Clear Sky Hammer could be damaged?
The dignified world's number one Tool Spirit actually couldn't withstand a small square seal.
The onlookers' faces were now bitter and grim, filled with conflict; their scalps were so numb it felt as if their brains were about to spill out.
They had thought the Clear Sky Hammer would not only force Chu Feng back three steps, but even thirty thousand miles would be no problem.
But now, Tang Xiao's Clear Sky Hammer had broken first, and what followed... there was no 'what followed,' as the heaven overturning seal had already drilled through the Clear Sky Hammer and was aimed straight at the forehead of the Howling Sky Douluo, Tang Xiao.
By this time, Tang Xiao's spirit power was exhausted and Asura had vanished; he could only submissively offer up his head.
With a crisp 'crack,' Tang Xiao's brain matter truly exploded, his flesh and blood spraying in an arc through the air.
Only then did Chu Feng stand up; the three-step competition was officially over.
But the other disciples and Elders of the Clear Sky Sect were instantly enraged; they could not accept the death of their Sect Master.
In that case, don't blame the heaven overturning seal for being merciless; smashing so many foreheads all at once wouldn't take much time anyway.
Consequently, the members of the Clear Sky Sect one after another summoned their Clear Sky Hammers to construct a storm of thunder and wind, but unfortunately, before the wave could even rise, the heaven overturning seal glided through smoothly, claiming all their foreheads.
Chu Feng floated in the air with his hands behind his back, watching quietly. What the heaven overturning seal crushed was not just the Clear Sky Sect, but also the authority of the nobility, and the notion of 'the people' as spoken by the vested interests; it could truly be called defying the world.
"See, I told the truth—it's impossible for you to make me retreat even a single step, yet you refused to believe it and insisted on being stubborn."
Chu Feng's casual joking before the onlookers was like an ice explosion from the Great Cold of the Far North, crashing heavily into their hearts.
Everyone's pupils seemed to widen an inch, their jaws dropped an inch lower, and their foreheads rose an inch; their faces were almost deformed by the absolute shock they felt.
The Hall Master of the Spirit Hall—he was the one truly comparable to a god.
The knees of All Elders were now only an inch from the ground; they were on the verge of kneeling.
"Hall Master, we were just making fools of ourselves; how could we dare to question your strength."
"This is simply the strongest Spirit Master in hundreds of years, matching the might of a god without even using spirit power."
"Hundreds of years? Thousands of years!"
"Thousands of years? Tens of thousands of years!"
All Elders exhausted their praise; however foolish their previous thoughts had been, their admiration for Chu Feng was now just as deep.
