The tattered martial imprint of half a shield had formed a sigil far larger than an ordinary one, yet it continued to writhe and writhe, and writhe again...

Qian Jin felt his Wind and Cloud Golden Body begin to stir! It seemed to possess an attractive force towards that half-sigil.

The next moment, the half-sigil exploded completely, truly merging into his body, rapidly fusing with the Wind and Cloud Golden Body—every inch was the Golden Body, and every inch was that half-shield.

Qian Jin let go of the thought, his mind filled only with the endless changes of star charts; the shattered Submerged Thunder martial skill was slowly recovering, writhing...

The two sigils formed from the top-tier archery skills of the two great tribes also began to writhe and change...

The martial imprint of the Earth-Splitting Slash was also slightly writhing and changing...

The sigil of the Super Void Soul was also writhing...

The next moment, even the martial skill of the Gold-Severing Chain Slash began to writhe!

These Sacred Martial Skills writhed rapidly, as if instantly transforming into countless stars; an almost visible chain of battle qi connected them, forming a constellation within the stars.

It was a person! Someone resembling Fabredis, holding a massive battlefield saber in his left hand and a broken shield in his right, striding forward as if knowing no retreat! As if all the stars were his incarnation!

Qian Jin shifted slightly, and these martial skills immediately displayed new transformations; the surging power left Qian Jin unable to distinguish—was this the Submerged Thunder skill? Or the Gold-Severing Chain Slash, or the Earth-Splitting Slash...

Fabredis trod upon a gigantic, fiercely blooming lotus flower!

These martial skills had continuity with each other but had not truly merged into a single skill!

This was... a nascent form of a new martial skill! Qian Jin's throat bobbed repeatedly as he swallowed, the creation of martial skills was always something mature powerhouses began to research for their unique skills, or the domain of old scholars who had studied martial skills for years.

For the younger generation of warriors, merely finding their own path of the warrior was already a remarkable achievement; as for independently creating a martial skill? Even the most brilliant among geniuses didn't necessarily possess the ability to create an entirely new set of martial techniques on their own.

In an instant, another thought flashed through Qian Jin’s mind; the battle qi within his body once again spun wildly, and the surrounding surging stars began to boil.

"Heaven and Earth Stars enter my Battle Body! Form my Battle Soul!" Qian Jin suddenly looked up and threw a punch towards the sky: "The stars gave birth to me, I am the stars!", Boom!

Fentur Kuangge, which hadn't absorbed any metal for a long time, suddenly sensed the powerful energy surging within Qian Jin’s body, and his body was directly shaken backward.

Lying on the cot, Qian Jin suddenly raised his hand and threw a punch in the direction his head faced—a completely unconscious burst of savage power rolled everywhere, its target precisely the position of Serpent Emperor Pan Hongji.

This was? Pan Hongji’s previously troubled eyes suddenly widened rapidly, his pupils shrinking instantly to the size of a pinprick; his expression showed gravity as he stared at the magnificent, earth-swallowing punch Qian Jin had suddenly unleashed.

Bahuang Wusheng was also startled. How could the severely injured person suddenly throw a punch? Moreover, this punch had surpassed any previous punch thrown by Qian Jin; this punch even vaguely contained the profound truth of the stars!

Eye of Myriad Release! A gigantic black Nine-Headed Serpent Battle Soul suddenly rose behind Pan Hongji; he directly activated the Nine-Headed Serpent Bloodline Battle Body, meeting Qian Jin's punch at the peak state of the Battle Soul, without truly activating the power of the Soul Domain or the power of Entering Sainthood.

Both being in the Battle Soul realm! Serpent Emperor Pan Hongji also possessed the pride and glory of the Serpent Emperor; facing a warrior of a younger generation, and one who wasn't even a genius among bloodline warriors, why would he use the power of Entering Sainthood to meet it? Even if he easily blocked the power of Entering Sainthood, it wouldn't be impressive.

Especially in front of Duanfeng Buer, Serpent Emperor Pan Hongji wanted to show off a bit, to let this young man know how glorious it was to return to the Nine-Headed Serpent Bloodline Family.

The heaven-swallowing punch tore through the air as if ripping space apart, forming a massive cyclone of airflow that instantly appeared before Pan Hongji. The punch, mingled with the aura of the stars, immediately created a pressure—a punch with the supreme momentum that made one feel the urge to kneel when gazing up at the boundless sky!

Pan Hongji’s scalp tingled; his usually smooth hair almost truly exploded. The Eye of Myriad Release ignored whether Duanfeng Buer would suspect cheating, and fully opened to search for any flaw in this punch.

The heaven-swallowing punch imbued with the stars! Pan Hongji’s fully opened Eye of Myriad Release was even more shocked; how could this be just one punch? This punch had genuinely struck forth a new, small stellar domain!

The endless airflow rotated like a spinning star, as if truly intending to birth a new constellation in the void!

"Good timing!" Pan Hongji's competitive spirit was completely ignited. The airflow striking the forefront carried an almost chaotic momentum, as if it could toss this head of the Nine-Headed Serpent Clan into the sky at any moment; his divine robe crackled loudly under the blast.

Pan Hongji suddenly brought his five fingers together and clenched them tightly, throwing a punch into the very center of Qian Jin’s Star Fist, which was not yet fully formed.

It was clearly just one punch! But it appeared as if nine punches were rising from different locations! These nine roars, seeming powerful enough to punch a hole through the heavens, suddenly converged, forming an even more savage strike!

Bahuang Wusheng’s eyes narrowed further: Nine Serpent Tyrants? One of the nine unique martial skills created by Pan Hongji?

Boom! The airflow from the clashing fists immediately erupted everywhere; the long table beneath Qian Jin violently exploded into pieces, transforming into sharp, lethal wooden shards that flew around. Qian Jin, lacking any point of leverage, was directly sent flying. In mid-air, he suddenly opened his eyes to survey the surroundings, quickly stomping his feet to forcefully halt his retreat.

Bang, bang, bang...

The clothing on Pan Hongji’s arm suddenly shredded, revealing his muscular arms with a series of cracking sounds. Battle qi was visibly steaming around his forearms, bulging veins rose high, and a faint trickle of sweat ran down from his long hair.

A vast punch! A punch that nearly narrated half of humanity’s epic history! Although still immature, although still incomplete in many ways, the momentum of this punch was already beginning to show the blueprint of its power!

Pan Hongji stood stunned on the spot, his mind continuously replaying the punch just thrown. Countless airflows formed countless stars, each star representing a martial skill; all skills seemingly lacked connection, yet subtly they were linked to each other.

What kind of insight, what perspective, allowed for the comprehension of such a unique momentum?

With just one punch! A bead of cold sweat rolled down Pan Hongji’s forehead, but a joyful smile played on his lips! Strictly speaking, he had gained from this punch.

Qian Jin's unconscious punch was completely different from a punch thrown in actual combat; this unconscious strike was not just an attack, but also a verification, revealing many of its mysteries as it was thrown.

For a powerhouse like Serpent Emperor Pan Hongji, one punch was enough; he could comprehend much from it, not even counting the fact that he had used the Eye of Myriad Laws when intercepting that punch!

"Serpent Emperor, can you fight me? A serious fight."

Qian Jin lightly flexed the fingers of his left hand, looking earnestly at Serpent Emperor Pan Hongji.

"Fight now?" Pan Hongji glanced at Qian Jin's injured right arm: "You are not lightly injured; I don't want to take advantage."

"Then tie up your arm and fight me," Qian Jin extended the invitation again, his persistence surprising others, as this young warrior did not usually possess such a temperament.

"Fight then." Duanfeng Buer stepped forward eagerly, looking at Pan Hongji: "Why don't we both go against him."

Checforlit silently stepped forward, forming a triangle to surround Pan Hongji in the center.

Mu Ne Zhence lightly fanned himself, moving behind Qian Jin. Fabredis’s death had stimulated Qian Jin too deeply; a large stone still pressed upon his heart, a stone so heavy it threatened to crush him. Perhaps only battle could release his pressure.

At the same time, only through battle could he more clearly gauge the gap between himself and Qian Zhanxuan, since Pan Hongji was a warrior of the same rank as Qian Zhanxuan.

Duanfeng Buer, without a word, directly activated his Bloodline Battle Body. If Qian Jin still couldn't defeat Qian Zhanxuan one-on-one in the future, they would attack together! Kill him!

Checforlit’s three pairs of black wings on his back unfolded silently. The entire battlefield seemed to be enveloped within them. Pan Hongji's expression immediately changed. The rumored Ultimate Awakening? No! He hadn't reached the Ultimate Awakening, yet he possessed three pairs of wings—what did this mean?

Could it be that the Ultimate Awakening for this generation of Fallen Angel Bloodline War-Mages belonged to this mixed-blood demon? To Checforlit, the sharpest and most ruthless blade in Qian Jin's hand?

The Nine-Headed Serpent Battle Soul rising behind Duanfeng Buer grew increasingly ferocious; a pair of eyes never seen before appeared in his pupils. Pan Hongji watched the Nine Shadows manifesting outside the Battle Soul, his excited scales almost standing on end.

The Nine Shadows appearing in a battle state! This was something unprecedented in the history of the Nine-Headed Serpent Bloodline Warriors! And that ferocious Battle Soul, while not having broken through to Sainthood, inexplicably gave off a feeling of being 'Almost Saintly'? And those eyes, what kind of eyes were those?

"Those who haven't entered Sainthood are still not strong enough," Pan Hongji gently shook his head. "I don't know what fortuitous encounters you've had, but I sense you have suddenly gained immense potential. What you need now is to develop that potential. Especially you, Qian Jin! If you want to avenge Fabredis..."

"Great Ji... just one punch," a hint of pleading entered Qian Jin's resolute gaze.
