"He has arrived!"

Seeing the newcomer, Fei Yun’s expression was complex. Others might not recognize Shen Changqing, but he certainly would. The impression from the battle at the Heavenly Realm was still profound for Fei Yun.

Yun Venerable’s gaze fixed on the figure standing in the void, a look of doubt and solemnity on his face. "Is that Shen Changqing?"

Although his words were a question, they carried a hint of certainty. Truthfully, Yun Venerable had never actually seen Shen Changqing’s face. However, observing the other’s aura now, he understood that South Nether Prefecture housed no such powerhouse. If such a powerhouse had existed, he would surely have encountered them. Therefore, Yun Venerable immediately thought of the newly-promoted Defender Envoy of South Nether Prefecture.

Upon hearing this, Fei Yun nodded. "It is him!"

"His aura is extraordinary," Yun Venerable exclaimed with emotion. "I wonder if his strength is truly as it appears. If so, perhaps he really can contend with Shimohe!"

He too hoped someone could keep Shimohe in check. After all, the Defender Envoy’s appointment was already a settled matter, and he had no power to change it. If that was the case, it would be better for the order in South Nether Prefecture to return to how it was.

On the other side, Shimohe, who had been sitting in a half-lotus position, suddenly rose. He walked barefoot through the air as illusory lotuses bloomed beneath his feet.

A lotus bloomed with every step!

Seeing this technique, Shen Changqing’s eyebrows rose slightly.

This kind of technique... he actually couldn’t perform it either. Producing a lotus with every step wasn’t something anyone could do; it required a specific method. However, even if he admitted he couldn’t perform the ’lotus at every step’ technique, it didn’t mean he was weaker than his opponent. Strength or weakness... only a true confrontation would make it clear.

Soon, Shimohe was standing in the void, positioning himself level with Shen Changqing. He wore a white kasaya, his face calm. "We meet again!"

"We meet again!" Shen Changqing was equally calm.

Immediately, the two fell silent.

After a moment, Shimohe spoke, "Your breakthrough to the Great Grandmaster Realm is indeed impressive. But you must understand, even among Great Grandmasters, the gap can sometimes be beyond your imagination. I see you have decent talent. Would you be willing to join my Heaven Alliance?"

"I also have something to say," Shen Changqing countered. "Your talent is considerable. If you surrender now, I might be able to secure a chance for you to live. What do you say?"

"You are very confident!" Shimohe gazed at him intently.

It was the first time someone had dared to be so audacious in his presence. In his eyes, the other man was already dead.

"Amitabha Buddha!" Shimohe intoned the Buddha’s name softly, his left hand forming the gesture of picking a flower, his face a mask of worldly compassion. "Stubborn and unenlightened. Then let this one see what strength you truly possess!"

With that, he thrust out a palm. Terrifying True Qi surged, and as his palm shot out, it seemed to stir the winds and clouds. A simple palm, yet it carried the overwhelming power of a raging sea.

Seeing this, Shen Changqing’s expression remained unchanged. Almost at the same instant, he pointed forward. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Divine Sun Collapsing Heavenly Finger!

Excluding the integrated Star Finger Divine Skills, in his memory, the Divine Sun Collapsing Heavenly Finger was one of the highest-ranked Martial Arts he possessed and had cultivated to a significant degree of mastery.

That single finger attack! Its fiery aura, as vast as the Great Sun, swept out with sky-shattering force, threatening to envelop everything.

Now, everyone looked up, watching the scene unfold. In their vision, the two powers had already collided.

CRACK—

The air itself seemed to shatter. A sound like an erupting volcano tore through the sky.

Then, shockwaves rolled out. The Finger Gang shattered, and the Palm Gang was destroyed. The two forces disengaged almost instantly upon contact.

Shen Changqing’s face grew more solemn. He had believed his sixth-stage Divine Heaven Golden Body could decisively suppress Shimohe. But unexpectedly, their recent exchange had yielded him no advantage whatsoever.

Clearly, the man before him was no ordinary Great Grandmaster.

On the other side, Shimohe also withdrew his hand. The gentle smile vanished from his face, his gaze turning sharp. "I underestimated you!"

He had assumed that even if Shen Changqing broke through to Great Grandmaster, his foundation couldn’t possibly match his own. Yet, their brief exchange had shown he couldn’t suppress his opponent. His opponent’s strength was far from simple.

Shen Changqing suddenly smiled. "I have seen your strength. Now, why don’t you witness this move of mine!"

He raised his hand and casually pointed towards his opponent again.

But this time, the moment his finger descended, the winds and clouds of Heaven and Earth roiled. It was as if everything darkened instantaneously, as if stars were plummeting from Outer Heaven, their boundless might shaking the void.

Seeing this finger, Shimohe’s expression finally changed.

Facing that finger, which seemed like a falling star, he placed one hand vertically before his chest and pushed the other forward. Golden light erupted from his Flesh, coalescing in the void to form the phantom of a Buddha.

The Buddha was vast, seeming to occupy half the sky. As Shimohe pushed forward with his palm, the Buddha also raised a hand, pushing forward.

In the end, the two powers merged, forming a colossal palm strike. That palm seemed capable of suppressing space and time, as if it could obliterate anything.

From the perspective of the onlookers, the sky was split into two colors: one gold, one black. The gold was majestic and vast, filled with a righteous aura that inspired awe and reverence. The black devoured all, its depths teeming with a destructive power that made hearts tremble.
