Chapter 391: Three Extremes Converging into One Form

As if heaven tilted and earth fell, only one fist reigns supreme.

The massive fist seems capable of destroying everything.

Mu Yi does not even dare hope that the half‑baked Great Asura Dharma Form could stop this fist.

This unremarkable fist is fiercer than Qiongxiao's thunder, more explosive than Yan Zhongxian Luo Xuan's flames, and heavier than Wu Yun Xian's gravity suppression…

The Hungry Ghost Realm and Hell Path are fully opened, hoping to weaken the fist's power.

Countless Animal Realm wraiths form beast after beast, surging forward toward the fist, yet they cannot even get close.

The wraiths blocking the fist vanish inch by inch, unable to slow the fist at all.

The Asura Realm's Sea of Blood pours forth; the Great Asura Dharma Form's six arms wave together, yet it is still futile, turning to powder in an instant.

Break! Break! Break! Break!

The Four Paths Reincarnation Barrier is pierced by the fist in an instant.

"Slash!"

The Great Summer Dragon Sparrow Blade slashes downwards, and the will of the Celestial Realm shines brilliantly upon Mu Yi.

The massive fist collides with the blade's edge.

It seems to cause no ripple, yet the change within weighs on Mu Yi's mind.

What appears a simple, bland clash of a fist and a blade is actually perilously extreme; Mu Yi flickers, sheathes the Great Summer Dragon Sparrow Blade, and silently looks at Duobao Daoist.

Clearly a shadow simulated by Heaven and Earth's essence, yet overwhelmingly strong.

All the opponents he has faced before, combined, are probably still no match for the one before him.

The opponent's power leaks not a single iota, all concentrated on the fist, so the damage to the Reincarnation Barrier is piercing rather than outright shattering.

As for the grand spectacle, it is the Heaven‑Earth essence spontaneously formed by the fist, and even its aftershock can shatter a Reincarnation Barrier.

The Great Summer Dragon Sparrow Blade was damaged in the clash; a further hard strike would snap it instantly, which is why Mu Yi reluctantly sheathed it.

"So that's it!"

Sheathing the fist, Duobao sighs.

"I wondered how such a genius could exist in the mortal world, and it turns out Mu Tianjun is here!"

"To others it is a great opportunity, but to you it is a chicken rib—tasteless to eat, regrettable to discard."

"I have seen the Buddha…" Mu Yi is about to bow.

Duobao Daoist waved a hand, halting Mu Yi's motion.

"Here, I am merely Duobao, Jie Sect Duobao Daoist!"

"You and I are fated…"

Duobao Daoist looked at Mu Yi and said that for anyone else he would surely take them as a disciple or even as a direct heir.

But thinking of the one whose palm almost shattered his golden body, he sighed—cannot provoke, cannot provoke.

He may be the top among Jiuzhou, but that one…

"Even a fated person must not be let to come here in vain!"

"Being a direct disciple of Biyou Palace isn't really a reward for you; so I'll decide: if you can defeat me… endure my three moves, I'll grant you the status of walking the Biyou Palace and also teach you the Eight‑Nine Profound Skill. Any objections?"

"Boundless Celestial Venerable, many thanks, senior!" Mu Yi bows deeply.

"In the Land Immortal Realm I excel at artifacts, not fists, but here I cannot use artifacts, only fists, which is unfair to you; therefore you only need to endure my three moves."

"The second move is a self‑created fist technique called Three Extremes Converging into One Form!" Duobao Daoist nodded, then spoke to himself and raised his own fist.

"Although its true application cannot be displayed in the Land Immortal Realm, this self‑created fist is indeed a supreme art."

Duobao Daoist seems to be bragging, yet also stating an ordinary fact.

Mu Yi dares not hold back any longer; the Six Paths Reincarnation Barrier fully opens.

The Human Realm army pours out, and heavy Cloud Energy presses back toward Duobao Daoist.

"Interesting!" Duobao Daoist smiles, then throws a fist.

Like falling stars, a massive fist slams down on Mu Yi.

At that moment, a similarly massive fist suddenly appears in the firmament, and simultaneously the earth cracks open, raising another massive fist.

Three fists from three directions, using the positions of Heaven, Earth and Man, form a simple formation that converges on Mu Yi; the area they sweep becomes vacuum.

Not a feint, not an illusion, but a solid triple‑fist force; each fist is like the first, supreme.

"Slash!"

Mu Yi acts decisively, draws the Zhanlu Sword, and unleashes all the refined intent he has learned from blade and sword.

"Oh?" Duobao Daoist's eyes brighten; he did not expect Mu Yi to use this move—it is his own master's sword technique, or so he says.

Earlier, using the blade from afar, he could not connect it in time and thought it was Mu Yi's and Jialan Shen's blade intent.

That is why he inferred Mu Yi's identity, and now Mu Yi's sword instantly reminded him of that technique.

"But alas, the refinement is still insufficient!"

Duobao gives a barely perceptible shake of the head, then a slight surprise the next second.

Mu Yi's sword move precisely cuts off the connections among the three fist forces, which would have merged into a single devastating power against the enemy, but now paradoxically contradict each other and cancel out.

In the end, the force that struck Mu Yi is even weaker than the first fist.

"You understand formations?" Duobao looks at Mu Yi with some doubt.

"Oh! Right! I remembered!"

Suddenly Cloud Energy sweeps over his head; Duobao gives a self‑mocking smile, having stood atop the mountain too long, almost forgetting what the scenery below looks like.

"You come from a Military Strategist background, how could you not understand battle formations!"

"It was my oversight!" Duobao shakes his head, yet his expression shows admiration.

His fist technique isn't something ordinary can break; Mu Yi must possess considerable formation skill.

Power can be increased, but this talent is hard to increase; if you don't have it, you just don't.

One of the most famous things about the Sect of the Cut is its various formations.

At this moment, Mu Yi couldn't utter a word; even if the power that had been weakened layer after layer struck him, it was still an unbearable heavy blow.

Puh~

A large mouthful of blood spurted out, and Mu Yi's face was extremely grim.

His five viscera and six bowels were churning like a stormy sea, his whole body wracked with excruciating pain as if crushed; if his flesh weren't tough enough, this punch would have turned him into a puddle of mud.

Even this was the power weakened by Cloud Energy; if it had struck him at full force, he would probably have died an untimely death.

Mu Yi stared at Duobao Daoist's physique, his eyes flickering with an uncertain, dark expression—it was too strong.

Simple, pure, without any flashy nonsense.

It was just an ordinary punch, yet its force was unstoppable.

It was clearly only the same level of strength as his, but the will truly penetrating the fist was supremely self‑centered, to the point that heaven and earth had to echo this punch.

The Military Strategist's battle formation turns all things into one, while Duobao Daoist's fist is one that is everything.

"Third move, still the Three Extremes Return to One, just a second variation!" "This time, you have no room to cheat!"

Duobao Daoist laughed as he raised his fist, but saw Mu Yi already slashing to his front.

Third move, a hard block means certain death!

Mu Yi clearly understood this, so he chose to take the offensive, using attack as defense.

The divinity of the Heavenly Human Path, the great army of the Human Path, the sea of blood of the Asura Path, the mount of the Animal Realm, the heavenly plague of the Hungry Ghost Path, and the sea of fire of the Hell Path—these six forces completely fuse into one, and a hundred‑zhang‑tall dharma form of Mu Yi appears between heaven and earth.

Immediately following, the hundred‑zhang dharma form kept compressing until it fully entered Mu Yi's body; at this moment, his power surged wildly.

"Good!" Duobao uttered an indistinct praise from his mouth, yet his fist had already blasted out.

Three Extremes Return to One!

There was nothing flashy about it; it was simply stacking the fist force from the three directions of Heaven, Earth, and Human paths just now, then blasting them out together.

It was very simple, very plain, yet extremely deadly.

"Boundless Eternity!"

Mu Yi burst forth with all his power, and the surrounding matter, vital energy, space, and even time directly solidified.

The Six Paths Reincarnation Barrier behind Mu Yi transformed into a Dharma wheel that continuously turned.

With each rotation, Mu Yi's power grew a bit stronger.

In that instant, even eternity enveloped everything within the boundless.

Originally, everything within this space and time should have been solidified, but at this moment Mu Yi horrifiedly saw Duobao Daoist slowly nodding, a smile on his face, as if affirming his own strength.

It also seemed to be affirming his own performance.

It had no effect on the opponent at all, even if the opponent was merely a wisp of shadow bearing will.

Mu Yi only felt a chill all over his body, but the incoming fist force prevented him from thinking further.

Put away, like the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Sword, the already overburdened Zhanlu Sword.

Mu Yi assumed a solemn and dignified posture, as if bearing a weight of a thousand jun, and an inconceivable atmosphere condensed and enveloped him.

When he ascended to demigod, he had once, during a breakthrough in the Reincarnation Barrier, caught a fleeting glimpse of true reincarnation.

The core of the Underworld, the returning ruin of all living beings, exuded an ancient and desolate aura.

Even if only for a moment, it gave Mu Yi a reference point.

Previously shattering numerous divine weapons was merely borrowing that hint of desolation.

Even so, he had consumed nearly half of his power.

And now, he staked everything he had to replicate reincarnation.

He did not know how much of the essence of reincarnation he could replicate.

But this was already the best he could think of as a final counter to Duobao Daoist's fist.

Recalling the true reincarnation he had seen when he comprehended the Dao.

The Book of Life and Death and the Judges' Brush appeared in his hands.

An ancient and desolate aura emanated from the depths of his soul.

As this aura of space and time appeared, an uneasy tremor arose, sending forth layers of mournful ripples.

In the frozen spacetime, Mu Yi opened his eyes.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Space collapsed, giving rise to grim cracks; the fractured river of time flowed backward under this tremendous force, and as the shattered space caved in, it took on an even more destructive form.

Crimson!

Boundless crimson!

The crimson light seemed to engulf everything, devouring all.

Even Duobao Daoist's supremely self‑centered fist now appeared pale and powerless.

When everything settled into dust.

"Pfft~"

Mu Yi trembled as he crawled up from the ground, slightly lifting his head with an air of antiquity; at this moment, the power within him had completely vanished, leaving him powerless like an ordinary mortal.

He urgently wanted to know the final outcome—whether his all‑out strike could take Duobao Daoist away.

"I lost!"

Seeing the green‑robed Daoist fallen before him, Mu Yi felt somewhat unwilling; although Duobao Daoist only asked him to withstand three punches, Mu Yi wanted more than that.

He wanted to win.

Even though his opponent was a rare giant of Jiuzhou, their strength was ultimately equal, and he wanted to win.

He wanted to give it a try, to see just how big the difference between humans and Buddhas really was.

Now it seems truly huge.

He could barely stand, while Duobao remained as relaxed as a leisurely stroll in an idle courtyard.

"You're mistaken; if I were truly an Earthly Immortal, this move of yours would surely blast me to pieces!" Duobao Daoist seemed to know what Mu Yi was thinking, saying with a smile.

"Even though it's only a wisp of my divided spirit, it still possesses the trait of being invulnerable to all techniques, so your move is useless against me!"

"Even if it's merely an imitation, it already possesses a hint of that true intent; even an ordinary immortal or deity could not possibly survive this move!"

"You've won; you've passed this trial!"

Duobao Daoist lightly waved his hand; the palace's regulatory power fluctuated, and all the heavenly and earthly essence surged toward Mu Yi. In just a moment, Mu Yi recovered to ninety percent of his condition; although his spirit was still fatigued, it was not as before.

"Take out your swords!" Duobao Daoist said softly.

Mu Yi, puzzled, drew his swords, saw the cracks, and couldn't help feeling a pang of heartache.

"Any other materials? Bring them out together, I'll strengthen them for you!"

Mu Yi froze for a moment, realizing that this person before him was a big shot who had fabricated a wall of divine weapons; he hurriedly produced the various divine artifact fragments he had obtained from the plane battlefield earlier.

"You do have some fortune!"

Duobao exclaimed, flicked a finger to release a ball of flame, and threw all the divine artifact fragments into it to refine them into tangible divinity and energy.

With a wave of his hand, the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Sword and the Zhanlu Sword were also thrown into the fire; all the divinity and energy then flowed toward the swords to be smelted.

In a moment, they were freshly forged anew.

"The conditions are crude; this is all I can do. If you ever obtain better materials, come find me and I'll refine them for you!"

As soon as the swords were in his hands, Mu Yi clearly felt the impurities on them dissipate into nothing, and their strength increased another notch.

"Thank you, senior!" Mu Yi thanked from the heart.

"Since you are now a Biyou Palace Walker, you should call me senior brother!" Duobao smiled slightly.

"Thank you, senior brother!" Mu Yi naturally complied.

"Go on!" Duobao smiled slightly, and flicked a finger to release a speck of spiritual light.
