78: Intermediate Heavenly Rank Fist Technique

"This kid must have exhausted most of his true Protective Aura after taking that previous move. With this next move, the outcome will likely be decided."

A spectator analyzed.

The others nodded one after another, expressing their agreement.

Among everyone present, only Elder Mu's eyes were filled with anticipation.

He knew deep down that Ji Mo must still have a trump card he hadn't revealed, though he wasn't sure what kind of trump card it was.

At this moment, Ji Mo made an inconceivable move; he slowly sheathed the long sword in his hand, then took it off his waist and placed it into his storage space.

The upcoming battle was bound to be even more violent and intense, and he felt that having the long sword hanging at his waist would only get in the way.

"What does that kid mean? Why did he put his sword away? Is he giving up?"

The audience below the stage was in an uproar.

"I really don't understand! Could he have been so discouraged that he's preparing to admit defeat?"

The crowd discussed it heatedly.

Even the Emperor couldn't help but frown, secretly pondering that if Ji Mo couldn't withstand the pressure like this, his Heart-Nature was truly unworthy of cultivation, and he would have no value for special nurturing.

"I am a Sword Cultivator! It's a pity that my weakest means happens to be sword techniques; this is truly embarrassing."

As soon as these words left Ji Mo's mouth, it was equivalent to dropping a bombshell among the crowd, shaking everyone to their core.

"Could this kid be talking nonsense? Less than 20 years old, yet his Sword Intent has reached ninety percent, and his comprehension of sword techniques is terrifying. He actually says sword techniques are his weakest means?"

The crowd was full of suspicion.

Even the Emperor and those high-ranking officials were full of surprise, casting their gazes toward Chu Feng, as if they wanted to get some explanation from him.

Facing the gazes cast by the crowd, Chu Feng also looked helpless, only able to shrug, indicating that he was just as confused.

Ji Mo on the stage was completely unaffected by the outside world. At this moment, his mind stirred slightly, and the 1800 heaven and earth creation bells formed by the heaven and earth furnace once again hovered steadily above his head.

At the same time, the remaining 500+ heaven and earth furnaces in his inner space, like crazily operating refining machines, were fully refining Spirit Stones and Spirit Medicine, continuously restoring the Protective Aura Ji Mo had consumed.

Ji Mo's hands moved like phantoms, quickly forming Hand Seals. With his movements, the bell bodies of the heaven and earth creation bells shone brilliantly, and a dazzling little sun once again appeared stunningly before the eyes of everyone.

As the Hand Seals in Ji Mo's hands changed continuously, his own true Protective Aura poured into the bell bodies like a torrent. The bell bodies began to expand continuously, eventually forming a huge sun with a diameter of one hundred meters, emitting endless light and heat, carrying a majestic power that seemed to suppress time and space, heading toward the whistling giant fist.

Although this huge sun and the giant fist with a hundred-meter radius in the sky were vastly different in size, anyone could clearly feel that this sun, which constantly emitted terrifying fluctuations, was definitely not to be underestimated.

"Clang!"

"Boom, boom, boom!"

A deafening bell sound suddenly rang out, as if it wanted to drown out the noise of the entire world.

Immediately after, there was a series of energy explosion sounds, like rolling thunder, continuous and unending.

This scene was as shocking as Mars colliding with Earth.

High above in the sky, over a thousand meters up, an energy storm raged like an atomic bomb explosion, and the dazzling light illuminated the entire arena.

Waves of energy storms spread wildly in all directions with the center of the explosion as the origin point.

The shockwave generated by the explosion, like surging waves, constantly crashed toward the arena's protective barrier, causing this barrier, set up by a Saint Realm expert, to ripple like waves.

When all the noise gradually subsided, everyone's gazes eagerly turned toward the two people in the arena.

At this moment, Pang Ban's expression no longer had the initial calm and confidence; instead, it was replaced by a deep sense of gravity, as if facing an unprecedented formidable opponent.

And Ji Mo's heaven and earth creation bells had already shattered in the earth-shattering explosion just now. The heaven and earth furnaces, invisible to outsiders, now all turned into tiny, brilliant specks of light, merging into his body.

"You are strong, Ji Mo, I will remember you! But you will still be defeated today! Among my past opponents, I could basically kill them in one or two moves, so no one has ever seen the power of my left fist until now."

The more Pang Ban spoke, the more ferocious and vicious his expression became, until finally, it turned into a hoarse roar.

"Everyone thinks I only know that one Heaven Rank fist technique, but in reality, this left fist is my true trump card! Go to hell!"

As soon as his voice fell, Pang Ban slowly retracted his raised right fist and slowly lifted his left fist upwards.

In an instant, endless heaven and earth phenomena suddenly appeared. The originally orderly sun and moon began to invert, emitting eerie and twisted light.

Immediately after, these strange scenes were completely absorbed by Pang Ban's left fist like a whale swallowing water.

At the same time, the stars above the Nine Heavens seemed to be pulled by an invisible, powerful suction force, shooting out beams of brilliant stellar energy, gathering toward Pang Ban's left fist like shooting stars chasing the moon.

Before long, a strange and shocking scene appeared above the Nine Heavens—the Sun and Moon in the Same Dust.

The sun and moon, originally hanging high in the sky, actually fell toward the Nine Heavens simultaneously, finally gathering on Pang Ban's left fist.

Pang Ban's left fist began to grow rapidly, as if all the energy in this world was being crazily extracted and continuously gathered upon it.

Gradually, a terrifying energy fluctuation that was heart-palpitating and seemed capable of destroying a world slowly spread out from Pang Ban as the center, like ripples.

However, forcibly unleashing this Cultivation Technique was not without cost.

Only to see wisps of blood slowly seeping out from Pang Ban's seven orifices; this was the backlash he suffered from forcibly driving the Cultivation Technique.

"Ji Mo, this move is the highest Cultivation Technique in my Awakened Bloodline Legacy, a Heaven Rank Intermediate fist technique. Although it is only a partial move, it is definitely not something a Martial Artist in the Condensing Gang Realm can resist. Dying under this move is your honor!"

It turned out that in Pang Ban's Bloodline Legacy, only these two Cultivation Techniques reached the Heaven Rank level.

And this move had always been his hidden trump card, which he had intended to save for the finals, but he hadn't expected to be forced to this point by Ji Mo today, exposing it early.

This not only made him feel extremely unwilling, but more importantly, forcibly driving this fragment of the Heaven Rank Intermediate Cultivation Technique required burning his lifespan as the price.

This undoubtedly made Pang Ban's hatred for Ji Mo, like oil on a fire, instantly rise to the level of a father-killing vendetta.

The moment Pang Ban swung his left fist violently, the entire world seemed to lose its color.

The originally orderly cycle of the four seasons instantly became chaotic, and the alternation of spring, summer, autumn, and winter fell into a state of Chaos.

The timeline of this space also seemed to be torn apart and became unbearably chaotic.

The heaven and earth seemed to be inverted by an invisible giant hand, and the stars began to perish under this terrifying power, emitting bursts of dazzling and desperate light.

Pang Ban's left fist continued to enlarge as he swung it out; the sun and moon shone together on the fist surface, stars were dotted within it like gems, and it was continuously gathering the majestic power of heaven and earth.
