"Di Tian, take this!"
"True Thousand Hands – Top Transformed Buddha!!"
In the sky, Di Tian was still struggling against the massive wave of Blue Silver Spirit Jade Trees, each towering over five kilometers tall and sparkling like blue crystal. The giant trees summoned by Advent of a World of Flowering Trees surged at him from every direction. No matter how hard he slashed with the Dragon God Claw, he couldn't break free.
Ye Yu shot into the air. His silver-blue hair danced wildly in the wind, and his silver-blue eyes shimmered with brilliance. A wild grin appeared on his striking face. He extended his right hand toward Di Tian and clenched it.
In that instant, the Blue Silver Thousand-Hand Buddha, towering like a divine titan, its expression solemn and merciful, began to move.
Behind it, countless arms radiated outward in concentric rings like sunflower petals. In a flash, they extended violently, turning into thousands of afterimages. With a piercing howl like a storm, they rained down upon the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King that Di Tian had transformed into.
Thanks to the restraint from Advent of a World of Flowering Trees, Di Tian was still being bound by the massive trees lunging from all sides. He couldn't even tear open space to escape with his Dragon God Claw.
With no other options, Di Tian let out a furious roar and slashed his claw forward. At the same time, he unleashed a massive surge of Spirit Power, activating several powerful Spirit Abilities in quick succession to try and block the oncoming barrage from the Blue Silver Thousand-Hand Buddha.
Yin Yang Complement technique!
Black Dragon Annihilation!
Evil Dragon Soul Devouring Wave!
Despite using all his strength — both in physical attacks and Spirit Abilities — to resist the assault...
It was useless.
The fists launched by the Blue Silver Thousand-Hand Buddha carried no added elements or effects.
No fancy techniques.
No extra attributes.
Only pure, raw, terrifying force, speed, and explosive power.
Each fist strike was like a missile.
And there were over a thousand of them.
And they were all punching at a rate of five times per second.
This was Ye Yu's core principle:
"One overwhelming strike shatters ten thousand techniques!"
All of Di Tian's Spirit Abilities were smashed apart one after another, unable to withstand the rain of fists.
Even the Dragon God Claw, facing a barrage of high-speed strikes from fists over a hundred meters in diameter, was powerless to break through.
Though Di Tian managed to tear apart a few of the fists with great effort, the rest came like a tidal wave.
The sky echoed with howling gusts as the fists landed blow after blow on his massive draconic form.
Previously, Di Tian's massive body — over a kilometer in length — had always been a tremendous advantage in battle.
But now, under this storm of fists so fast they left only afterimages...
That size had become a giant target.
Boom!
Boom!
BOOM!
One after another, the thunderous impacts of flesh against flesh resounded across the sky.
The countless fists pounded into Di Tian's Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King form, shredding scales and tearing flesh.
With a pained roar, Di Tian's massive dragon body plummeted like a downed aircraft, crashing into the forest of Blue Silver Spirit Jade Trees below.
BOOM!
The impact left a massive crater in the earth.
From the moment the barrage began to the moment Di Tian was smashed into the ground...
It had only taken a few seconds.
And yet his mighty dragon body was now utterly battered, covered in wounds.
Broken dragon scales lay everywhere, his flesh was torn open in dozens of places, and both of his enormous wings had been snapped in half.
The horn on his dark dragon head had been shattered, his golden vertical pupils were bloodshot and clouded with bruised clots, many of his fangs were broken, and blood streamed from his mouth and nose.
The once-dominant dragon lay on the ground — grievously wounded and barely clinging to life.
What... what kind of monster is this human?!
This massive wood-and-spirit construct, this Buddha-like Blue Silver Titan, over three kilometers tall, had launched over a thousand punches with such terrifying speed and force...
Each punch could shatter a mountain!
And then combine that with the summoned crystal-blue trees that bound his movements?
Forget me...
Even the gods might not be able to stop him!
Di Tian's heart was full of unwillingness and despair.
Is this how I, Di Tian... fall?
But just as Di Tian thought Ye Yu would follow up with a killing blow — finishing him, Bear Lord, Bi Ji, Scarlet King, and the rest of the hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beasts to harvest their Spirit Bones...
Ye Yu didn't.
After using True Thousand Hands – Top Transformed Buddha to heavily injure Di Tian in a single strike, Ye Yu saw the dragon crash down, barely breathing...
And calmly ordered the Blue Silver Thousand-Hand Buddha to stop attacking.
His heart was satisfied.
The combined effect of Advent of a World of Flowering Trees and True Thousand Hands – Top Transformed Buddha had far exceeded his expectations.
And besides — if he killed Di Tian now, it might draw out Gu Yuena, the Silver Dragon King.
Not to mention, now that he had secured the Skydream Iceworm, Ye Yu was about to acquire his second Martial Soul.
All these fierce beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest would be perfect candidates for his second set of Spirit Rings.
Killing them now would just be a waste.
With that, Ye Yu began deactivating both Spirit Abilities — Advent of a World of Flowering Trees and True Thousand Hands.
He was ready to leave, taking the Skydream Iceworm with him.
Under Ye Yu's control, several massive roots of the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Tree's true form broke through the earth.
Wrapped within them was the crystal pillar that sealed the Skydream Iceworm.
The roots carrying the pillar soared up into the air and flew toward Ye Yu.
With a wave of his hand, Ye Yu stored the pillar into the Blue Silver Domain.
He turned for one last glance.
At Di Tian, Bi Ji, Bear Lord, and the other fierce beasts...
And at the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python, who had finally arrived, but now stood frozen in the distance — trembling in fear.
Ye Yu gave a faint smile.
Then, transforming into a bolt of lightning, he vanished across the sky.
After Ye Yu left...
The summoned Blue Silver Thousand-Hand Buddha, over three kilometers tall, and the countless massive Blue Silver Spirit Jade Trees exploded into a sea of blue-silver Spirit Power light particles and scattered into the wind.
Though the battlefield cleared, the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest was still filled with many remaining Blue Silver Spirit Jade Tree sub-bodies.
He didn't kill us?
Lying broken on the ground, still in his Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King form, Di Tian stared in shock and confusion.
He couldn't believe it.
"Lord Di Tian!"
As the summoned trees dispersed and the area was finally freed, Bi Ji quickly flew over on her emerald wings.
She landed beside Di Tian and immediately activated a healing-type Spirit Ability to treat him.
