Battle Through the Heavens: I can solidify the talents of all things

Inner perimeter of the Warcraft Mountains, in the Dark Forest—

Towering ancient trees blocked out the sun, with only scattered specks of light penetrating the layers of canopy to bring a faint glimmer of light to this gloomy place.

The air was filled with the pungent smell of earth, the musty odor of decaying leaves, and a scorching, violent energy surge that made one's heart pound.

Xiao Qing's figure moved through the crowd like a ghost, her steps light and her landing silent.

His powerful soul force had already spread out, carefully scanning the area several times.

"Found it..." Xiao Qing's gaze sharpened as he looked at a hidden cave several hundred meters ahead.

A faint, dark red light flickered at the cave entrance, and a scorching, violent aura emanated from it—his target, a fifth-tier magical beast, the Demon Flame Wolf!

His gaze precisely locked onto a cave not far ahead, emanating a dark red light and the smell of sulfur.

"The fifth-tier Demon Flame Wolf... that's you."

Xiao Qing murmured to himself, the vast and boundless Dou Qi within his body had reached the peak of the Great Dou Master, and he was no longer suppressing his Dou Qi, which was halfway into the Dou Ling realm!

Like a dragon awakening, he slowly rose up, no longer concealing his presence.

The powerful battle aura of a peak Grand Battle Master slowly rose up, step by step walking towards the cave, carrying a clear sense of provocation, pressing towards the cave.

Ow—

A wolf howl filled with fury and ferocity suddenly erupted from inside the cave, shaking the surrounding leaves and causing them to fall!

The next instant, a huge dark red figure, accompanied by scorching heat and dust, shot out like a cannonball!

Demon Flame Wolf!

Its body is as large as a small hill, and its dark red fur looks like it is made of cooled lava, with a faint red glow like magma flowing between the gaps.

Above the ferocious wolf's head are a pair of huge crimson eyes, and a cluster of dark red flames on its forehead pulsates violently, demonstrating the terrifying pressure of a fifth-tier magical beast.

With each stomp of its powerful limbs, the ground trembled slightly, and its sharp claws left deep burn marks on the rocks.

Faced with this ferocious beast that would make even ordinary Dou Wang experts take it seriously, Xiao Qing's eyes blazed with a fierce light.

The terrifying pressure of the fifth-order magical beast was like a tangible mountain, crashing down on Xiao Qing!

"Well done!"

Xiao Qing let out a low shout. Faced with this pressure that was enough to make even a fighting spirit tremble with fear, he not only did not back down, but his eyes instead burned with a fierce fighting spirit.

With a thought, the surging battle qi within him burst forth!

Battle Qi Armor, Condensed!

A low shout rang out.

A layer of incredibly solid, almost tangible, golden-red aura instantly covered his entire body!

Unlike the slightly ethereal battle qi armor of ordinary Great Dou Masters, Xiao Qing was instantly covered with a surprisingly solid golden-red armor!

This armor appears to be forged from the purest energy crystals, its entire body shimmering with a glass-like luster. It is thick and sturdy, and even reveals metallic-like textures in the details.

Even more astonishing is that on this golden-red main body, there are mysterious white patterns, like those formed from extremely cold ice crystals, which exude a strange aura that perfectly intertwines extreme cold and extreme heat!

This is the embodiment of his ultimate refinement of battle qi, the original power of the law of fire, and the characteristics of bone spirit cold fire and child fire, forming a unique battle qi armor!

This unique battle aura armor has a defensive power far exceeding that of other armors of the same rank. It also possesses a passive erosion and damage reflection characteristic. Any attack that comes into contact with the armor will be weakened by both the chilling white aura and the flames of the law!

It is both an indestructible shield and a spike that can be used for passive counterattacks!

This is also what gives him the confidence that he can fight against fifth-order magical beasts at the peak of the Great Dou Master level!

Roar!

The Demon Flame Wolf clearly sensed the strange and dangerous aura emanating from the human before it, but as the overlord of this area, it was even more ferocious.

At the same time, he was also completely enraged by the strange and powerful aura on Xiao Qing's body. It suddenly exerted force with its hind legs, and its huge body turned into a red afterimage. Its giant claw, burning with black demonic flames, brought down with the momentum to tear everything apart!

Before the claw wind even arrived, the terrifying heat had already scorched and distorted the air!

"Well done! Eight Extremes Collapse!"

Instead of retreating, Xiao Qing advanced, his "Burning Technique" circulating at high speed within his body, and his immense Dou Qi, approaching the level of a Dou Ling, frantically converged towards his right fist!

The stark white patterns on his golden-red armor flowed towards his fist as if alive, making it appear as if he were wearing a gauntlet burning with icy flames! He threw a fierce punch, directly confronting the demonic claws head-on!

boom--!!!

The moment fists and claws collided, it was like a thunderclap!

A visible energy shockwave suddenly spread out in a ring, destroying all the vegetation within a radius of tens of meters and scraping the ground down by a layer!

Xiao Qing's body sank slightly, and the ground beneath his feet cracked inch by inch, but the incredibly solid battle qi armor only flashed brightly without breaking, successfully withstanding this fierce attack!

However, the immense strength of the fifth-tier magical beast still made his arm go numb and his blood and qi surge slightly.

In their initial clash, the Demon Flame Wolf held a slight advantage in strength.

The Demon Flame Wolf went berserk, its claws tearing and biting, its tail burning with demonic flames attacking like a storm, while its huge mouth opened and closed repeatedly, spewing out black fireballs containing terrifying corrosive and explosive power!

Xiao Qing unleashed the Xuan-level movement technique to its fullest extent. Protected by his golden-red armor, his figure moved like lightning, weaving and dodging through the dense attacks.

If it is truly impossible to avoid, then use the part covered by the armor to take the hit.

Bang! Bang! Boom!

Each collision produced a deafening roar.

Xiao Qing's battle qi armor displayed astonishing defensive power, with its stark white patterns constantly dissolving the erosion of the demonic flames.

But the immense impact forced him to retreat continuously, putting him in a somewhat passive position for a time.

Xiao Qing's gaze sharpened, and without hesitation, he swallowed a high-quality Qi-restoring pill that he had refined himself.

The pills transformed into pure energy upon entering his mouth. Combined with the terrifying recovery speed brought by his innate spiritual body and the mid-level Xuan-rank "Burning Technique," his consumed battle qi was being replenished at a visible rate, maintaining a state that was always close to full!

At this moment, he no longer engaged in brute force with the Demon Flame Wolf.

Even with the blessing of an innate spiritual body and that special [talent], as a peak Great Dou Master, he can only suppress some Dou Kings whose physical bodies are relatively weak.

The physical strength of a fifth-tier magical beast is far superior to that of a human cultivator of the same level, so a head-on confrontation would be unwise.

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Qing's battle strategy had already changed.

He began to use his superior agility to fight back, his eyes sharp as knives, fixed on the cluster of purple flames on the Demon Flame Wolf's forehead.

His steps suddenly became unpredictable, and his figure moved like a ghost between the wolf's claws and sharp teeth.

He no longer pursued a one-hit kill, but instead relied on his superhuman spiritual perception to accurately predict the trajectory of each of the Demon Flame Wolf's attacks.

"roar!"

Unable to break through after a prolonged attack, the Demon Flame Wolf became enraged. Dark red flames rose around its body, and it unleashed a torrent of scorching fire breath, intending to incinerate the slippery human into ashes.

Faced with the fiery waves that could melt metal and stone, a glint of shrewdness flashed in Xiao Qing's eyes.

This is the opportunity he's been waiting for!

Instead of retreating, he advanced, dodging the main force of the flames at the last second. At the same time, his right hand formed a sword shape with his fingers together, and a highly refined golden-red battle aura swirled around it.

Instead of attacking the Demon Flame Wolf's hardest parts, such as its head or back, he precisely stabbed at the joint of its forelimbs!

That was precisely the weakest point in its defenses when it launched its attack.

"Pfft!"

With a soft sound, the golden-red battle aura seeped into the gaps between the joints.

The Demon Flame Wolf let out a painful howl, and its massive body lurched forward.

Xiao Qing took the opportunity to retreat, calmly observing the Demon Flame Wolf's reaction.

Although the attack was not fatal, it successfully restricted its movement and created more space for the battle to begin.

He knew that patience and skill were far more important than brute force when fighting such ferocious beasts.

At this moment, several follow-up tactics had already appeared in Xiao Qing's mind.

Should they risk using their still-immature Earth-rank combat skills, or continue to fight evasively and seek a better opportunity?

"Young man, attack three inches below the purple flame on its forehead, at the junction of its skull!"

Just then, the old doctor's calm advice rang in Xiao Qing's mind like a guiding light.

"That's a relatively weak point in its defenses! Watch out for the energy backflow gap after it unleashes its full-force flames!"

Opportunities are fleeting!

At the same time, the Demon Flame Wolf was also completely enraged!

It gathered its strength once more, opened its massive maw, and unleashed a black pillar of fire several times thicker than before, spewing towards Xiao Qing like a destructive torrent!

Just as the pillar of fire erupted, its massive body experienced an extremely brief moment of stillness due to the intense energy output!

"Now!"

Xiao Qing's eyes flashed with a sharp light!

With a sudden, mysterious change in his footwork, his body slid sideways as if teleporting, narrowly missing the pillar of destructive fire!

At the same time, his battle qi, which was close to that of a Dou Ling, erupted like a volcano and was poured into his right fist, making the white patterns on his golden-red armor shine brighter than ever before!

Advanced Xuan-rank combat skill - Eight Extremes Collapse!

Eight layers of hidden strength combined!

Xiao Qing shouted and shot out like an arrow, his fist aimed straight at the vital spot below the purple flame on the Demon Flame Wolf's forehead!

This punch not only contained all his power, but also pushed the eight layers of hidden force of the "Eight Extremes Collapse" to its current limit. Wherever the fist wind passed, the air was slightly distorted.

The Demon Flame Wolf sensed a deadly crisis, and fear appeared in its crimson pupils for the first time. It tried to dodge, but its movements were slowed by the fact that its old strength had just been exhausted and its new strength had not yet been generated!

BOOM!!!

A punch imbued with terrifying power and the flames of law landed squarely on that vital spot!

Click!

A crisp sound of bone cracking could be clearly heard!

The Demon Flame Wolf let out a deafening, mournful howl, and the purple flame on its forehead dimmed and almost went out.

The massive body was sent flying backward by the immense force of the punch, crashing through several ancient trees that required several people to encircle before finally slamming heavily to the ground.

Hot blood gushed from his mouth, nose, and ears. His breath deflated rapidly like a punctured balloon. After struggling a few times, he could no longer stand up!

Xiao Qing slowly withdrew his fist, and the unique golden-red and snow-white battle qi armor around his body gradually disappeared.

He landed steadily, slightly out of breath, and calmed his churning blood and qi. Looking at the dying Demon Flame Wolf in the distance, a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

From initially being at a disadvantage to accurately seizing opportunities and dealing a heavy blow to a powerful enemy, he has gradually taken control of the battle!

This battle fully demonstrated his true strength, as well as his terrifying defensive and offensive capabilities that far surpassed those of his peers!
