One person said: The essence of Wuhou Qimen lies not in Qimen, but in Wuhou.

The two giant golden hands appeared out of nowhere with a muffled sonic boom that tore through the air. Without dodging or evading, they met the oncoming Tuhecha dragon head-on with a fierce and unparalleled combined strike!

*Smack!*

It was as if a god had clasped his hands together and swatted a moth away!

Two colossal mud dragons, powerful enough to crush modern heavy tanks into metal, couldn't even hold their ground for half a second when they collided with the golden giant hand. They were instantly pulverized into flying dust by the domineering and unparalleled pure yang divine power!

The violent air currents transformed into a hurricane, lifting the rubble around the training ground hundreds of meters into the air!

At the same time, the third stone dragon crashed down from the head of the old celestial master! The old celestial master didn't even look at it. He clenched his other golden giant hand into a fist and shot it into the sky like a heavy hydraulic press. With a powerful upward punch, the violent pure yang energy pierced through the third stone dragon from head to tail, blasting it into a rain of stone dust in mid-air!

"break!!"

The old celestial master let out a low shout, and his palms shone with golden light. His two giant hands swept across the battlefield, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound that tore through the void, and shoved Zhuge Ming, who was dozens of meters away, with a fierce shove!

Wherever it went, it carved two terrifying trenches, several meters deep, into the bluestone ground!

"Well done!"

Zhuge Ming used the Qimen footwork, his figure flashing like a ghost between the eight trigrams, and in an instant he stepped into the fire position in the due south!

"Stepping into the Li Palace... the Nine Stars of the Celestial Plate, the Heavenly Hero Star in its proper position! Assist my divine might!!"

Zhuge Ming formed hand seals, and the pure Yang fire within his body, amplified by the presence of the Heavenly Star of Heroes, instantly surged several times in power, forcefully pushing forward:

"Eight Trigrams of the Earthly Branches - Li Character: Crimson Flame! Li Character: Mars Guards the Heart!!"

"roar--!!"

The raging winds suddenly transformed into a scorching inferno of lava!

A hundred-foot-long fire python, entirely constructed of pure Yang golden-red flames, roared and soared into the sky from Zhuge Ming's palm. Its body was as solid as liquid lava, carrying a temperature that could scorch mountains and boil seas, and it fiercely coiled around the two golden hands! The raging fire and the golden light rubbed together wildly, bursting out a sizzling sound like a branding iron being plunged into water!

Not only that, but directly above the old Celestial Master's head, the sky was completely dyed a strange, blood-red color!

Dozens of violent meteor showers, resembling falling Mars, accompanied by devastating heat and continuous high-altitude impacts, bombarded the place where the old master stood like a storm!

"BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!"

The center of the training ground instantly transformed into a sea of ​​fire and a furnace! The earth was scorched and cracked, and the intense heat even distorted the surrounding air into a blurry, double image!

Zhang Chulan in the stands was completely stunned, drool dripping down his chin without him even noticing: "This...this is the Wuhou Qimen?! When I saw Zhuge Qing fight Wang Ye, those little flames could barely even light a tree...this...this is a hand-crafted tactical nuclear strike, isn't it?!"

Zhuge Qing stood to the side, his face full of bitterness, unable to refute.

Both being descendants of Zhuge Liang and practicing the same ancestral legendary sect, Zhuge Ming's Five Elements magic not only borrowed the power of the land but also triggered the celestial timing and power of the Nine Stars! This layered amplification of magic has completely exceeded the scope of human comprehension!

However, at the epicenter of that explosion, amidst a sea of ​​fire and falling meteors—

"Young friend, though the fire is fierce, it is not hot enough to burn through my Golden Light Mantra."

The old Celestial Master's calm and aged voice pierced through the deafening roar of the explosion, clearly emanating from the depths of the sea of ​​fire.

"Buzz!!"

Amidst the raging flames, a pure golden pillar of light rose from the ground like a divine warrior descending from the heavens!

The golden light surrounding the old Celestial Master suddenly hardened from a "glowing" state into a nearly tangible "black gold crystal," a glassy texture refined to its extreme! Meteor showers of fire rained down on the old Celestial Master's head, but were all deflected and dispersed by the black gold glassy barrier, not even a single white hair on his head was burned!

Immediately afterwards, the old master lightly waved his right arm, his five fingers gently plucking outwards as if playing a zither.

"Transforming Qi into Form: Golden Light Heavenly Net!"

*Sizzle!*

The originally thick and violent golden light broke through all physical constraints in a fraction of a second, and was forcibly stripped away by the old master, turning into tens of thousands of brilliant golden wisps, each ten times finer than a hair!

Those golden threads, as tough as divine weapons, spread and shuttled wildly along the ground and air at supersonic speed, weaving a deadly net that covered the entire training ground in the blink of an eye!

Wherever the golden threads passed, the raging Crimson Flame Python was silently torn into eight pieces, slicing into countless scattered sparks! Furthermore, extremely sharp golden threads shot straight towards Zhuge Ming's limbs and major meridians and acupoints, at a speed that was breathtaking!

There is nowhere to retreat, nowhere to escape!

Zhuge Ying, standing in the stands, couldn't help but gasp and cover her lips.

Faced with this golden net of killing intent filling the sky, the divine light in Zhuge Ming's eyes did not diminish in the slightest; instead, it burst forth with an even more terrifying brilliance!

"The character '巽' (Xun) – Listening to the Wind's Whisper!"

A halo of sound waves, barely perceptible to the naked eye, emanated from the side of Zhuge Ming's ear.

Under the extreme perception of Listening to the Wind, the golden threads that were originally as fast as lightning around him were slowed down a thousand times in an instant. Every tiny sound of air being cut was transformed into clear coordinates and imprinted into his mind!

"The Divine Plate Eight Gods - Nine Heavens, Soaring High!!"

Zhuge Ming's figure rose from the ground, and the protective power of the Divine Plate Nine Heavens transformed into endless thrust, making his movements light and agile, like a divine bird soaring through the nine heavens. He made a series of micro-operations that defied the limits of human biomechanics to avoid the gaps in the golden threads!

"Dui Character - Black Glazed Glass!!"

In mid-air, facing dozens of unavoidable, chilling golden threads, a layer of deep, obsidian-like black crystal instantly appeared on the surface of Zhuge Ming's arms!

"Clang clang clang clang clang—!!"

The crisp sparks of metal clashing exploded wildly in front of Zhuge Ming! Zhuge Ming's fists were like dragons, relying on the extreme hardness of the black glass with the character "兑" (duì), he smashed dozens of golden threads that were thrusting towards him to pieces with his bare hands!

However, taking advantage of the recoil in that instant, Zhuge Ming's figure had already approached within ten feet of the Old Celestial Master's head!

"Eight Gates of Human Interaction—Eight Gates of Transportation!!"

Zhuge Ming's eyes closed slightly, and eight pitch-black spatial ripples suddenly appeared in the void!

No charging, no trajectory!

The overwhelming force of Zhuge Ming's punches vanished into the spatial rift in front of him in an instant! The next minute later, from the eight trigram positions of mutual generation and restraint, eight jet-black fists suddenly burst out from the void, accompanied by a roar that tore through the void, and simultaneously struck the old master's crown, back of the head and major vital points from eight absolute blind spots!

A dimensional attack that transcends space!

"Excellent tactic!!"

Even the venerable Zhang Zhiwei, a man of great experience and knowledge, couldn't help but clap his hands in praise at this moment!

But despite the praise, the old master's counterattack was as ruthless as the ruthlessness of heaven!

The old master didn't even turn around; his footsteps shifted by an extremely small half-inch in an instant.

"boom!!"

A ring of viscous, flowing golden liquid, like mercury, suddenly spread out from beneath the old master's feet!

Golden light liquefaction and fluid reaction!

The eight spatial fists that shot out from the void, upon striking the layer of flowing golden light, had their destructive kinetic energy instantly guided by the Old Master's Tai Chi energy into the ground beneath his feet, completely turning the violent impact into nothingness!

Immediately afterwards, the old Celestial Master's expression turned slightly solemn, and his right hand, which was hanging in his sleeve, suddenly clenched its five fingers!

"The Crimson Palace... Thunder roars!"

"Snap—!!"

A sharp, high-frequency ionization explosion, sharp enough to pierce the soul, suddenly resounded in the old master's palm!
