The five elemental planets, Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, rotated above Heige’s head, emitting vast, boundless energy fluctuations. Heige’s gaze sharpened.

Infinite sacred radiance erupted from his World, falling like dense rain upon the five planets, enhancing their might. They formed a pentagram, roaring as they descended to envelop Shi Yan’s head.

“Refine!” Heige roared! Bang!

The five planets burst forth with golden, azure, white, red, and yellow light, respectively. These five colors materialized simultaneously, and clusters of flame spread outward from the planets’ peripheries.

This was one of the Primordial Heavenly Fires, and moreover, a fused form of the Heavenly Fires, possessing infinite power capable of refining all creation! The various powerhouses concealed within the thirteen stone towers all changed expression, revealing looks of shock.

This was a demonstration of the highly integrated state of the Primordial Heavenly Fires. Heige’s understanding of the profound mysteries of the Heavenly Fires after integrating the origin was clearly far surpassing that of the other three.

Audrey gasped in surprise, unable to help but utter a soft cry, “In the path of Heavenly Fire fusion, Heige is likely much more profound than any of us!” Gila Da’s face was grim as he secretly nodded, saying, “If Shi Yan lacks any special means, I don’t favor him in this fight.” Many shared his sentiment. The hidden experts from the Illusory Sect, the Shattered Hall, and the Heavenly Water Palace, along with Xing Huo and Mu Wei and their companions, all showed looks of astonishment.

Truly worthy of being the most outstanding figure among the Divine Race in ten thousand years, the power Heige displayed was in no way inferior to that person of yesteryear. Perhaps that person’s comprehension of the Primordial Flames upon first entering the Early God Realm did not even match Heige’s.

No wonder the Divine Race elders cultivated him so meticulously, intending for Heige to grasp the future authority of the Divine Race. Waves of aura capable of refining all living beings emanated from the five planets overhead, enveloping Shi Yan below.

At this moment, a tremor resonated deep within Shi Yan’s primary soul, as if it would be utterly destroyed by the rotation of the five elemental planets! He believed the words Heige had spoken.

Back when he was in the Barren Lands, Heige deliberately suppressed his realm, stubbornly restraining himself even though he could have broken through to the Early God Realm, leading to a flaw in his state of mind, preventing him from truly demonstrating his strength. He finally understood why the Divine Race regarded Heige as their leader, rather than Ha Sen, because Heige’s innate talent was truly peerless.

In the path of realm comprehension, he had long surpassed Ha Sen, stepping into the Early God state of mind very early, his profound power approaching perfection. Now that he had taken that step, reaching the Early God Realm, his state of mind was flawless, and unlike those newly ascended to the Early God Realm whose power mysteries might be stagnant, he was like a seasoned veteran immersed in this realm for years.

All profound power flowed smoothly, naturally integrated, thoroughly merging with his soul’s intent. “Refine!” Heige growled low.

The blazing flames swirling around the outer ring of the five elemental planets suddenly pressed inward, like five divine mountains squeezing space, causing explosive cracking sounds to emanate from the void. The spectacle was earth-shattering!

Shi Yan took a deep breath, his eyes instantly turning blood-red, and a wondrous artistic conception immediately spread outward. The Death Profundity!

In an instant, a chilling death intent resonated from the depths of the Black Iron City’s clouds. The speed at which the wisps of death aura from the hundreds of thousands of warriors whose souls had instantly dissipated were disappearing was suddenly halted, as if gripped by a hand.

Thread after thread of grayish filaments poured down from the depths of the clouds like a cascading river. Tens of thousands of threads filled with dense death fluctuations, intermixed with lingering, unwilling soul thoughts, were instantly drawn down by Shi Yan’s Profundity.

Countless threads condensed in the void, transforming in an instant into a gigantic palm. This palm seemed to embody the wrath of a Heavenly God, filled with countless mournful roars originating from within, gradually taking shape above Shi Yan’s head.

“Transform!” Shi Yan roared. The death fluctuations saturating the gigantic palm suddenly underwent a bizarre change; the dense death aura vanished without a trace, as if converted by some strange rule.

In mere seconds, the palm underwent a complete metamorphosis. It became saturated with crimson blood, harboring vast vitality, akin to the total vital essence of a peak expert—this was the fluctuation of life!

The giant palm radiated infinite vitality, its fine palm lines twisting and writhing, vaguely forming a Mark of Life. The massive palm suddenly pressed down, tightly grasping the Metal Planet, and then wrenched it sideways.

Whoosh, whoosh! The Metal Planet, pulled forth from Heige’s Origin World, was flung toward the depths of the firmament by the giant palm, vanishing from sight in a flash.

The palm’s intense vitality then underwent another subtle evolution. Countless starlights roamed within the lines of the palm.

The Mark of Life actually incorporated the patterns of the stars. The trajectory of the writhing palm lines mimicked the curves of stellar movements within the celestial river—endlessly marvelous.

“Life-Death Transformation!” “Triggering new life from the extremity of death, refining life energy—this is the true fusion of the Profundities of Death and Life!” “Perfect fusion of Profundities!” For a time, stifled exclamations erupted from the various stone towers. The experts from the myriad factions looked at Shi Yan with a fresh sense of terror in their eyes.

“Impossible! Between the conversion of Life and Death Profundities, there is also the pattern of the stars—this is a new fusion of Profundities!” “Can this child actually reach such a height?” “To wield the various power Profundities with such exquisite precision, his innate talent and aptitude are in no way inferior to Heige’s!” “Truly worthy of being the inheritor of the Bloodthirsty Legacy!” “This battle is getting interesting!” Many exchanged hushed words within the stone towers, their gazes seeming to pierce through the countless light waves and surging torrents of power above the manor, fixing upon Shi Yan.

In their sight, Shi Yan was seated motionless on the stone ground of the manor plaza, his scarlet eyes fixed on the sky. Heige hovered in the heavens, four planets rotating ceaselessly above his head, clusters of Heavenly Fire moving slowly like an ocean, enveloping the giant palm, attempting to refine it.

After its initial strike, the energy fluctuations contained within the giant palm rapidly diminished, as if being refined away. Shi Yan remained seated, letting out a cold snort, and again muttered lowly, “Draw Flow!” Hiss, hiss, hiss!

The void behind Shi Yan’s neck appeared to be sliced by countless light blades, and abrupt spatial rifts emerged. Dense, fierce malice emanated from these fissures.

Within them were the death auras of countless deceased souls. These death auras, as if summoned by the God of Death, were drawn over from infinitely distant spaces.

Heaven and earth fell into deathly silence, and Black Iron City suddenly grew dark; even the light of the nine suns could not penetrate the surging gray mist of death. The gray death mist streamed from the spatial cracks, transforming into rivers that poured into the giant palm.

Yet, the palm exhibited an even stronger vital presence. Once these rivers of death mist were absorbed, the palm lines acted like the primordial imprints of life, forming seals capable of creating existence.

Streams of starlight appeared from nowhere, covering the giant palm and flowing into the markings on its palm. “Split!” The giant palm instantly changed, transforming into four equally sized fists.

Each fist was tightly clenched, harboring raging vital energy and brimming with robust life force. The four fists targeted their objective and suddenly hammered at the four planets appearing within Heige’s Origin World.

Upon impact, each planet would erupt in billions of sparks, scattering everywhere like meteors falling across every corner of Black Iron City. Many warriors failed to dodge and were pulverized by the residual shockwaves.

“Disaster!” “These two are too insane!” “They are going to destroy Black Iron City!” “Defenses! Seal!” At the center of the Black Iron City Chamber of Commerce, Tie Dun hovered in the sky.

A miniature city suddenly materialized above his head. This city was pitch-black, clearly a perfect replica of Black Iron City.

Tie Dun’s face was cold as he rapidly executed complex hand seals, striking them down onto the miniature Black Iron City. As his seals landed, the Black Iron City depicted on his chest awoke like a great beast.

Tremendous shaking sounds echoed from every corner of the city. The runes inscribed upon the city structure, forged from the profound dark heaven above the firmament, were instantly activated.

Suddenly, a sealing barrier of power enveloped the entire Black Iron City. Any residual energy shockwaves from the clash between Shi Yan and Heige that descended from the sky were intercepted by the black cloud mass and shattered by beams of black light.

Not a single residual energy wave could harm the citizens of Black Iron City. Having completed this, Tie Dun’s face was pale, his eyes weak, yet he gritted his teeth, his expression venomous, angrily rushing toward the direction where Shi Yan and Heige were fighting.

The situation… was somewhat beyond his expectations. As the de facto City Lord of Black Iron City, he had to ensure the safety of the city; he absolutely could not allow Black Iron City and its citizens to suffer heavy losses due to the battle between Shi Yan and Heige.

This was the duty of the person in charge of the Chamber of Commerce. He knew that if any accident befell the city, the Chairman would mercilessly strip him of all his duties, perhaps even making it impossible for him to survive in any corner of the universe.

His fear of the Chairman was greater than his fear of the Divine Race’s Seal Extinction. He knew the secrets of this Chamber of Commerce, knew how terrifying it was, and dared not let the Chairman hold him accountable.

Boom, boom, boom! The four massive fists fiercely struck the four planets.

Where the fists collided with the planets, both Shi Yan’s and Heige’s divine bodies violently shuddered, yet their gazes remained resolute, both utterly confident in their eventual victory. “Qiankun Shift!” Heige looked up and released a seal.

Upon manifestation, this seal generated a miraculous attractive force. The Metal Planet, struck by a great wave and flung outward from the perimeter of the Great Vast Star, was pulled by the seal, transforming into an extraterrestrial meteor hurtling toward him.

Heige looked at the meteor, gritted his teeth, and muttered low, causing two streaks of blood to emerge from his mouth. The meteor was suddenly infused with boundless energy.

Far away on the Divine Race’s ancestral star in the Ancient God Star Field, the star suddenly trembled three times; mountains collapsed on its surface, and rivers dried up, as if a certain profound energy had been forcefully extracted. The meteor formed from the Metal Planet instantly erupted with dazzling light, surpassing the intensity of the Great Vast Star’s sun.

It possessed a skyrocketing power capable of killing even those in the third heaven of the Early God Realm, plunging down like a thunderbolt directly toward Shi Yan’s head. The meteor fell faster and faster, the power it contained growing stronger, seemingly capable of piercing through Black Iron City and even the Great Vast Star itself.

The ancient figures in the stone towers, watching the meteor descend and sensing the terrifying energy fluctuations within, were all aghast. Only now did they realize that even an Early God Realm cultivator who had fused with the origin could wield true world-shaking power.

A power that even they, with their long years, might not dare to resist head-on. They all looked toward Shi Yan.

To see how Shi Yan would respond. For this strike, Heige had drawn upon the power of the Ancient Continent—this was a true killing move… The last half-day remains, little brother begs fellow readers for monthly votes to help!!!
