Chapter 243: The Terrifying Tiancan

"This… how could this be possible?"

In the reception hall, someone let out a startled cry, instantly shattering the dead silence.

Everyone widened their eyes, staring intently at the two figures in the center, their faces filled with incredulous shock.

It was truly the scene just now, utterly overturning their Knowledge!

Who is the Tiancan Daoist? He is a Half-step Celestial Being, a top-tier powerhouse just one step away from the legendary Heavenly Human Realm!

The palm he just delivered, even a Grand Master Nine-Peak Apex would surely be pulverized into mush by a single strike!

But what about Jiang Feng?

A young man who looks only in his twenties somehow managed to hardily receive that terrifying palm?

This is nothing short of a fairy tale!

"No… impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Jiangnan Wang widened his eyes, his Pupils nearly popping out.

"How could he possibly withstand the senior Tiancan's palm? This kid is clearly just a Grandmaster, how does he possess such strength?"

He rubbed his eyes vigorously, thinking he had misseen, but Reality seemed to deliver him a harsh Mouth!

Jiang Feng stood still, his expression calm, showing no sign of Injury at all.

Instead, the Tiancan Daoist, who seemed incomparably powerful to him, had his arm slightly Trembling.

This scene sank Jiangnan Wang's heart to the Valley Bottom.

Xu Congyang's proud Laughter instantly froze.

He had always thought Jiang Feng was merely lucky, daring to be arrogant only because of Yitian Pavilion's protection, but now it seemed Jiang Feng's strength was terrifyingly at this level!

"This… what kind of monster is this kid?"

Xu Congyang swallowed, his voice trembling.

"My heavens! Mr. Jiang is unbelievably powerful, able to hard‑hit the Tiancan Daoist's palm!"

"This strength is downright defying the heavens! I think he's not an ordinary Grandmaster; perhaps he's also a Half-step Celestial Being!"

"No wonder he dares such arrogance; he truly has the capital for it!"

Miao Linfeng stood still, watching the figure in the center, a hint of regret flashing across her face.

She never imagined Jiang Feng's strength could be so terrifying!

Much stronger than she had imagined! If she had persisted a bit more and firmly stood on Jiang Feng's side, with his strength and potential, he would surely become a great powerhouse in the future.

Then Yitian Pavilion could also benefit, even gaining the support of a top‑tier strongman!

But now? Her earlier action has undoubtedly created a rift between Jiang Feng and Yitian Pavilion.

She chose to stand by and watch at the crucial moment; even if she tries to make amends later, it will be hard to erase this resentment.

"Sigh…"

Miao Linfeng let out a soft sigh in her heart, full of regret.

She was truly swayed by Xu Congyang just now, missing a massive opportunity.

It's too late to say anything now; she can only think of ways later to see if she can repair her relationship with Jiang Feng.

The Tiancan Daoist stared intently at Jiang Feng, his arm still slightly Trembling.

The massive recoil force from his palm disrupted the true Qi within him, and his chest felt a sudden pressure.

He inhaled deeply, forcibly suppressing the surging blood within, his eyes filled with intense resentment.

"Good! Very good!"

The Tiancan Daoist gritted his teeth, speaking word by word.

"I didn't expect you, kid, to be even stronger than I imagined; no wonder you have the confidence to contend with me!"

He paused, his gaze becoming even sharper, and his aura began to rise slowly.

"But you must know, the gap between our strengths cannot be bridged by some petty side‑path tricks! Just now Old brother only used eighty percent of his power, not yet showing his true skill!"

"You were able to receive Old brother's eighty percent power palm; that counts as some ability."

"I congratulate you; today will be your First Time, and also your Final Time, seeing my full‑might terror!"

As soon as the words fell, the Tiancan Daoist let out a sudden skyward howl, his aura instantly surging to the extreme!

"Buzz!"

A jet of ink‑black energy erupted from his body.

Like flames in darkness, it burned wildly, enveloping his entire being.

This energy was extremely bizarre, bearing an aura of total destruction.

Even more shocking, amidst the surrounding black flame, the Tiancan Daoist's body emitted a faint peculiar ripple, as if a certain connection with Heaven and Earth had formed.

"This… what is this…"

The Qin Family patriarch Qin Feihong's Pupils suddenly contracted, his face showing an extremely solemn expression.

Instinctively, he extended his hand, and a dazzling Golden Light Shield instantly enveloped Jiang Feng and the Tiancan Daoist, isolating the two from the surrounding people.

After completing this, Qin Feihong slowly spoke, his tone tinged with a hint of apprehension.

"This Tiancan Daoist has already achieved a fragment of Comprehension of the Heaven and Earth Will! With his current strength, he is only one final step away from the true Heavenly Human Realm!"

Comprehension of the Heaven and Earth Will?

When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned, their faces filled with horror.

They all know that for a cultivator to break through to the Heavenly Human Realm, the most crucial step is the Comprehension of the Heaven and Earth Will, to resonate with Heaven and Earth.

The Tiancan Daoist has already accomplished this, meaning his strength is now infinitely close to the Heavenly Human Realm!

Just now he only used eighty percent of his power, without employing the Comprehension of the Heaven and Earth Will, and was already that terrifying.

Now he is giving his all, employing the Heaven and Earth Will—can Jiang Feng still withstand it?

Jiangnan Wang heard Qin Feihong's words, and a wildly ecstatic smile instantly appeared on his face.

They replied, "How could the Heavenly Remnant Daoist possibly be so easily suppressed by Jiang Feng!"

It turned out that the Heavenly Remnant Daoist hadn't actually unleashed his full power just now!

"Hahaha! Excellent! Senior Heavenly Remnant Daoist actually achieved Comprehension of the Heaven and Earth Will!"

Jiangnan Wang shouted with Excitement.

"Jiang Feng that kid is doomed! A Half-step Celestial Being who has achieved Comprehension of the Heaven and Earth Will is absolutely beyond his capacity to contend with!"

The people of other Faction also nodded one after another, and the gazes they cast toward Jiang Feng were filled with sympathy.

"Alas, Mr. Jiang just now performed so dazzlingly, but unfortunately, he ran into a Heavenly Remnant Daoist who has achieved Comprehension of the Heaven and Earth Will!"

"Indeed, a Half-step Celestial Being who has achieved Comprehension of the Heaven and Earth Will is a completely different Concept from an ordinary Half-step Celestial Being; Mr. Jiang this This Time may truly be doomed!"

"Originally I thought it would be a dragon versus tiger battle, but now it appears to be a one‑sided crushing!"

Everyone held their Breath, staring tightly at the two figures Inside the light dome, awaiting the impending earth‑shattering collision.

Inside the light dome, the Heavenly Remnant Daoist's aura had already risen to its peak, and the pitch‑black flames burned even more fiercely.

His gaze became incredibly cold, like a hellish Asura.

"Kid, die! This time, Old brother will make your Divine Soul utterly vanish!"

The Heavenly Remnant Daoist let out a furious shout, his figure moving as if teleporting toward Jiang Feng.

This time, his speed was several times faster than before, almost becoming a black afterimage.

He transformed into a pitch‑black, ink‑like energy sphere, containing the terrifying Heaven and Earth Will, and smashed it down fiercely onto Jiang Feng!
