Lei Qianjue and Hun Yuan Xue also were unwilling to show weakness, and simultaneously activated the power of their own celestial veins, manifesting the strongest Dao and Fa.

For a moment, within a layer of space in the Ascending Heaven Hall, the Thunder Dragon roared, the Fire Phoenix cried, and the Wind God bellowed.

The three peerless heavenly prides standing at the pinnacle of the True Immortal Realm completely shed their façades and launched a cataclysmic battle that shook heaven and earth.

The celestial vein phantoms behind them, like three divine dragons piercing heaven and earth, each collision caused the Great Dao to wail and the laws to shatter.

The various heavenly prides that followed them had already retreated far away, their faces filled with terror.

"This... is this the monster that has opened more than ninety‑eight celestial veins?"

"It's terrifying! I feel even the aftershocks could crush me ten times!"

"Are we truly on the same realm as them?"

Both being True Immortals, they felt that before each other they might not even be able to land a single move.

Behind Hun Yuan Xue, the nine selected aboriginal strongmen were so frightened by this world‑shattering might that they collapsed to the ground, trembling and unable to stand.

Only Gu Yuan (clone) still stood "just right" a short distance behind Hun Yuan Xue, while his heart was as still as an ancient well.

"Ninety‑nine celestial veins... now that's interesting. Condensing one's own laws into veins and storing them within the body does yield impressive power upon release."

He, like the most professional observer, calmly analyzed the three's strengths and weaknesses.

Lei Qianjue's thunder technique excels in dominance, with grand openings and closures, but lacks variation and is easy to counter.

Feng Lingyun's body method wins in strangeness, being fleeting and unpredictable, yet its attack power is slightly weak, making a single decisive strike difficult.

Hun Yuan Xue's fire technique is the most balanced and harmonious, integrating offense and defense; it appears to have no flaw, but that also means it lacks any particularly outstanding advantage.

A faint, barely perceptible glimmer flickered deep within Gu Yuan (clone)'s eyes.

He simultaneously observed the three's celestial vein circulation methods, accumulating experience for the future "Celestial Vein Technique" of his own clone's clone, while a strand of his mind slipped silently into the Snow Talisman, which had long been altered by him and bestowed by Hun Yuan Xue.

Buzz.

A faint, almost intangible thread of Hun Yuan Xue's fortune followed the talisman, silently drawn by him and merged into his own cause and effect.

Though extremely weak, it accumulates over time.

Being a fisherman is also a skillful craft.
