Chapter 176

Shen Tianxing never imagined these three were actually brothers; they must be sworn brothers, otherwise the age gap would be too great.

But now is not the time to think about that; facing the three, they all leapt into the air—one punched, one palmed, one kept kicking—launching a full attack on Shen Tianxing.

"Buddha Moves Mountains and Rivers!"

Shen Tianxing thrust out both palms, erupting with terrifying power; a golden giant hand descended from the heavens, accompanied by a continuous rumbling boom.

The three Zongshi Peak masters' attack shattered the golden hand, which dissipated; they fell from midair, spitting blood.

"How is this possible? We're all Zongshi Peak masters—how could you be so much stronger than us?"

The old master's face was full of shock; the other two likewise wore expressions of disbelief.

"What's impossible? In my dictionary, there's no such thing as impossible; the three of you combined, your explosive strength is also just about equal."

My full-power output is close to 20,000; beating the three of you is a piece of cake. Of course you wouldn't understand me saying that, but it doesn't matter—in short, you are no match for me.

Shen Tianxing spoke confidently, but he himself was surprised; he hadn't expected to possess such terrifying combat power, which could only be due to his Northern Void Divine Skill absorbing ample internal force.

Moreover, his martial arts greatly boost his overall attributes, even if not shown; they still significantly increase his combat value in battle.

"Indeed, you don't understand, but don't get cocky—what can killing us accomplish? You'll only be trapped forever in this tiny Shenzhou Continent."

And sooner or later, outsiders will discover this place; when Land Immortal experts arrive, you will all die.

The young master spoke with heroic fervor, but could Shen Tianxing see the fear in his eyes? He merely smiled, then spread his hands.

The three Zongshi Peak masters hadn't even realized what was happening before they became immobilized, their internal force draining away nonstop, their speed increasing rapidly.

"Is this the Great Absorbing Skill? The Supreme Evil Skill—he actually knows the Supreme Evil Skill? Could he be a remnant of the Worship Moon Dynasty?"

The old master instantly recognized it as the so-called Great Absorbing Skill, a terrifying martial art from their continent, which explains why Shen Tianxing is so much stronger than them.

One must know that the construction method itself allows people to endlessly absorb Internal Force; although it takes a long time to transform, it is indeed a genuine strengthening of strength.

After all, the stronger the Internal Force, the stronger the techniques; for the same technique, the gap between injecting 100 and injecting 10,000 of Internal Force is a heavenly chasm.

「What's the Great Absorption Skill? This is the Northern Ice Divine Skill. It can endlessly absorb others' Internal Force, and after absorption it transforms, and it's a 100% transformation of Internal Force with no upper limit. 」

「When I reach Land Immortal, my Internal Force will transform into true qi, also endless; dying from depleted Internal Force, how terrifying that is for you master-level experts, I need not say more. 」

Hearing Shen Tianxing's words, the three masters' faces were filled with horror; they certainly knew how terrifying dying from depleted Internal Force was for masters—it was nothing less than agonizing, even more painful than being flayed and having tendons pulled.

This is actually what every master fears most; you must know that in their twilight years, just before death, masters begin to gradually lose their cultivation.

At first it's not painful, but when Internal Force drops below one-third, the body can no longer sustain itself; during normal movement, Internal Force will wildly leak, each wisp lost brings excruciating pain, to the point they wish they could slap themselves to death with a single palm.

「Enough, you've won. Tell me, what do you want to give us a swift end? 」

The first to give out wasn't the old one nor the young one, but the middle-aged master; he likewise guessed that Shen Tianxing wanted to know what the world beyond Shenzhou Continent was like.

「Your question is excellent, very high-level; tell me, what is the situation of the continent beyond Shenzhou Continent? The more detail, the better. 」

Shen Tianxing said while controlling the Northern Ice Divine Skill, he stopped absorbing the middle-aged master's Internal Force, letting him heave a deep sigh.

「Ah...... 」

The old and young ones then felt a more terrifying suction madly devouring their Internal Force, they couldn't help letting out heart-rending screams, wanting to speak but could no longer do so.

Gradually, they couldn't even utter screams, because that pain had completely numbed them, or rather they could no longer make any sound.

The middle-aged master trembled all over, it was truly terrifying.

「We come from a place called Baiguo Continent; even the smallest country there is much larger than a country in your so-called Shenzhou Continent; it's not really a hundred countries, but at least thirty. 」

The name Baiguo Continent comes from the fact that there truly were a hundred countries thousands of years ago, but after years of war, countries kept being destroyed, leaving only thirty now.

The largest is the Great Holy Dynasty, its territory at least ten-plus times larger than Shenzhou Continent, and the Great Holy Dynasty has thirty Land Immortals stationed, the strongest having already reached Perfection as a Land Immortal.

The second largest is the Great Flame Dynasty, third is the Great Splendor Dynasty; each of these two dynasties has thirteen Land Immortals stationed, but none have reached Perfection as a Land Immortal.

However, the two together can still maintain a delicate balance with the Great Holy Dynasty; the rest are just minor countries, some with three to five Land Immortals, the smallest with only one.

These dynasties have smaller states attached according to region; nine small states are attached to the Great Holy Dynasty, while each of the other two dynasties has four small states attached.

We three come from a dynasty called Da Yuan, which has only two Land Immortals; martial artists like us at Zongshi Peak are actually not few, but to a Land Immortal, we can be extinguished with a flick of the finger.

In Baiguo Continent, children start tempering their bodies with medicine from birth; normally by age sixteen they have Third-Rank to Fourth-Rank strength, those with good aptitude can reach Five Pin, and those with heaven-defying aptitude can even reach Seven, Eight, or Nine Pin.

Even the most ordinary soldiers must at least have Five Pin strength, and the Great Holy Dynasty also has a terrifying Ten-Thousand-Strong Master Army, namely an Elite Soldier army of ten thousand masters.

Of course, the actual ruler of each country, the Emperor, must be a Land Immortal; without that strength, a state cannot be established.

The so-called Shenzhou Continent is actually just an island in the sea, shrouded in a thick black mist; after entering the mist, one still needs a long voyage to reach Shenzhou Continent.

This black mist can poison masters to death and even fell ordinary Land Immortals; we were able to enter this black mist only because, by chance, we found a spot without mist and broke through.

After we broke in, that place was again filled with black mist, meaning the mist follows a certain pattern, occasionally opening a passage that allows outsiders to enter.
