Chapter 353: Ascending to the Heavens and Entering the Earth

Boom!!

The heavens and earth shook violently!

Tiancan possessed the cultivation of a peak Grandmaster.

Among the experts who had dueled with Yu Liancheng, his strength was second only to the Evil Emperor Xiang Yutian.

If this had been before Yu Liancheng entered the Divine Palace and pushed his flesh and soul to a new realm, although he could still have defeated him, it would have required great effort and a bloody battle.

Yu Liancheng stood with his hands behind his back in the void, looking down. Amidst the swirling dust and smoke, one could vaguely see a massive palm print imprinted into the ground, and within that palm print, Tiancan was coughing incessantly.

"Damn it! This kid really has some skills."

A violent, sharp glint flashed in Tiancan's eyes. He channeled the immense power of the Millennium Ginseng King within his body, and his entire being brimmed with exuberant vitality, rapidly healing his injuries.

"Are you using the power of the Millennium Ginseng King to heal?" Yu Liancheng frowned.

"Heh, that's right." Tiancan sneered: "I have consumed the Millennium Ginseng King; no matter how severe the injury, I can recover quickly until my power is exhausted."

"I advise you not to use the power of the Ginseng King."

"Oh? Are you afraid?"

Yu Liancheng shook his head and said: "You're wrong. The unrefined Ginseng King in your body is mine, and your Tiancan True Qi is also mine. So it is best not to move around, otherwise, your end will be even more miserable."

These words were arrogant and overbearing to the extreme. Tiancan was also enraged to the extreme, and he roared like thunder: "You're courting death!"

One could see a surging sea of blood emerge behind Tiancan, spreading continuously and obscuring a space of over a hundred meters. The thick, bloody stench was almost enough to make one vomit.

Immediately, Tiancan kicked out again. The sea of blood flowed through the void, crashing and rolling toward Yu Liancheng.

The sea of blood churned incessantly. Within the mighty sea of blood, it seemed as if countless ghosts and wronged souls who had died under Tiancan's legs appeared, baring fangs and brandishing claws, acting as accomplices to evil, wanting to drag Yu Liancheng into this purgatory of death.

——The fourth form of the Tiancan Divine Skill, "Sea of Blood Filling the Sky."

Yu Liancheng let out a cold snort, his Qi and Blood surging. He threw a punch, and the vast, scorching fist momentum covered all directions, filling a radius of several dozen zhang. The air waves roared and rolled incessantly. Even an ocean or a river would be diverted or collapse because of this punch, let alone the ethereal sea of blood.

Boom!!

The forces collided with a bang, shaking and sweeping out in all directions.

After this blow, Tiancan's figure fell from the sky like a meteor, smashing heavily into the ground and sinking deep into the soil.

Yu Liancheng did not give Tiancan another chance to recover. His figure flashed down like lightning, driving Tiancan entirely into the thick soil.

And with a thunderous explosion, the ground suddenly began to shake. The soil kept bursting open, waves of earth rising into the air to form a wall of dirt twenty or thirty meters high, the momentum shocking to the extreme.

Among the four people watching the battle on the sidelines, let alone the two young men Wang Xiaohu and Shi Heilong, even the veteran martial artists Baozugong and Baozupo, who had seen their fair share of grand scenes, were pale with shock at this moment.

This level of combat power was unheard of and unseen.

Deep underground,

Yu Liancheng and Tiancan were still locked in a fierce battle.

It was pitch black all around, and the two had squeezed out a long tunnel through the solid earth. As their True Qi dispersed, the entire tunnel felt as if it were ten thousand meters under the sea. An ordinary person placed within it could be crushed into a pulp at any moment.

The two fought continuously, fists and feet clashing.

Although Yu Liancheng was several notches stronger than Tiancan, the Millennium Ginseng King provided a constant supply of power, allowing Tiancan to maintain his peak state for a long time.

Bang!

Yu Liancheng struck with another palm, his True Qi instantly sealing a portion of Tiancan's meridians, preventing the Ginseng King's power from circulating through his limbs and bones.

Then, Yu Liancheng backhanded and gripped Tiancan's wrist, his True Qi taking advantage of the opening to enter, frantically channeling the Art of Absorbing Power. He sucked the "Tiancan Heaven Defying Strength" and the power of the Millennium Ginseng King into his own body.

At the same time, he circulated the God of War Record within his body. The boiling True Qi transformed into a Yin-Yang fish, constantly chasing and playing, refining the absorbed power without leaving a trace of impurity.

Yu Liancheng only intercepted a small portion of Tiancan's True Qi; his goal was the Tiancan Divine Skill.

He was very interested in this divine skill. Among the supreme arts he had witnessed, there was no leg technique that could compare to it, pointing directly to the Shattered Great Dao. Moreover, it was mutually reinforcing and conflicting with the "Tathagata Palm" in Long Jianfei's tomb, each having its own merits. By comparing the two, he would surely be able to reach a higher level.

As for the Ginseng King, it added to one's lifespan and could continuously heal injuries, so even Yu Liancheng could not help but feel a trace of greed.

With the channeling of the Art of Absorbing Power, in just a few breaths, this top expert of the evil path from several hundred years ago seemed to have aged several decades. His hair turned white, wrinkles covered his face, and his aura became old and weak.

"Forcibly seizing internal energy is, after all, not what you have cultivated yourself. There will surely be disasters in the future. You will not go far on the path of Martial Dao. I will be waiting for you below..." Tiancan's face was deathly pale, his eyes filled with a hint of unwillingness.

"You wait slowly. Perhaps it won't be long, or perhaps you will never wait for me."

Yu Liancheng released the other's wrist and struck with a backhand palm. The tunnel that had been forcibly pushed open by their battle began to collapse, mud and sand falling to gradually bury Tiancan: "The feng shui here is not bad; let it serve as your burial ground."

……

"So there really are peerless experts in the world who can ascend to the heavens and enter the earth. If I could cultivate to this step, where could I not go in the Tianshan or underground..." Shi Heilong's eyes were filled with reverence as he muttered to himself.

"I've really had my eyes opened today. I thought my husband's and my martial arts were quite good, but compared to that young man, I realize we've lived our lives in vain." Baozupo bit her cigarette and muttered to herself.

Baozugong gave a lecherous smile: "I'm not a dog."

Baozupo slapped Baozugong on the head: "Stop spouting nonsense."

Baozugong held his head and hurriedly shouted: "Wife, give me some face in public, there are children watching."

The corners of Shi Heilong's and Wang Xiaohu's mouths twitched. If they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, no one would believe that the legendary God of War Couple would be like this.

The dull sounds of collision from the ground came to an abrupt halt.

Seven or eight breaths later, a figure broke through the ground and flew into the sky.

That person looked back at the four, nodded slightly as a greeting, and then his figure folded in mid-air, turning into a fleeting shadow and disappearing at the end of the valley.

"It seems the outcome has been decided."

After waiting for a long while, the four did not see the other figure appear, so they naturally knew the result of this battle.

Baozugong sighed, feeling a sense of loss in his heart; after all, the other guy did indeed look somewhat like him.

"Two seniors, should we follow and take a look?" Shi Heilong asked urgently.

Baozugong and Baozupo looked at each other, their expressions grave.

That person's identity was mysterious, yet his martial arts were ridiculously high. If he harbored any killing intent, none of the four present would likely be able to escape.

Finally, Baozugong made the decision: "Let's just wait here. The other party didn't invite us, and if we go rashly, it won't be good if we offend him. If he has something to find us for, he will come back this way at any time. If he doesn't return within thirty minutes, we will go into the valley to investigate."
