JI Song looked straight at the mountain, waiting for the outcome of his attack. Meanwhile, all around him, there was not a single piece of frozen land. The majority of the Northern Region was turned into lava.
The land that used to be blue from one point all the way to the horizon, had turned red and orange with patches of dark or charcoal molten debris scattering everywhere.
Smoke and steam were billowing towards the cloud, turning them dark. Ashes were blowing all over the place, suffocating any life that had the destiny to survive the shuddering heat.
A few minutes after the attack, the mountain that Wang Wei landed on was instantly blasted off. There, Wang Wei floated in the air.
The upper garment of his clothes were burned off, while only the bottom part of his robe still remained relatively intact. Wang Wei’s 8 pact abdomen muscle was showing, while his long grey hair floated in the air.
Ji Song’s face--inside the armor--became ugly as he could see that his opponent was still perfectly intact. He took a deep breath to calm himself down as he knew that in order to win this battle, he had to use his last hidden card.
Without hesitation, he jumped a few thousand meters into the air, did a somersault before doing a single leg drop kick towards Wang Wei, who was standing on the lava as if it was nothing but his bath at home.
Wang Wei clenched his hand, mobilized all the powers of his steel-like muscles and threw a punch .
Boom!
A powerful explosion was generated by the clash of these two titans, however, they did not care about such a thing.
Following the explosion, the ground under Wang Wei’s feet indented inwards, created a very large web-like crack more than a thousand of meters. Immediately afterwards, to his surprise, Wang Wei actually vomited a big mouthful of blood.
However, Ji Song did not give him time to think or react. He followed his first attack with another powerful punch.
Wang Wei wanted to respond with one of his own, however he soon discovered that it was very hard for him to move. It was as if he was surrounded by a quagmire and his every action was greatly hindered.
As such, Ji Song’s punch hit Wang Wei right above his heart, making him throw up another big mouthful of blood before he was sent flying a few thousand kilometers.
On his way, he rebounded on the floor countless times before he managed to regain his footing. He looked at Ji Song after spitting on the ground. His spit and blood instantly vaporized even before hitting the ground.
"You can control gravity?" said Wang Wei with a calm look on his face.
He could tell that the reason that he was injured was not because the attack broke the defense of his skin or muscles, but because it directly bypassed these things and acted straight on his internal organs.
Furthermore, the only reason that he was not that injured was because his Innate Field fended off most of the gravity.
Additionally, in the last attack, Ji Song’ strength did not magically become more powerful than him. No, he bent the gravity around him and redirected it towards Wang Wei, thus increasing his strength.
It was like using gravity to lift an object by controlling the direction of the gravity from downward to upward. In the case of this attack, Ji Song controlled the gravity from downwards to forwards, thus dramatically increasing his power.
Wang Wei frowned after thinking about this as he knew that this battle would be more difficult than he thought.
When cultivating the [Ancient Desolate Body Refining Scripture], the process of tempering the internal organs comes after the bones. And at the moment, Wang Wei has not even finished tempering his bones, let alone his internal organs.
However, he did not back down as a sudden idea suddenly came to his mind, then he started breathing strangely. Then, he rushed straight into the sky, heading towards Ji Song who had used his gravity manipulation ability to fly in the air.
Ji Song also rushed towards his opponent and immediately activated the gravity around him, making Wang Wei’s movement very stiff. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he threw another punch.
Boom!
Wang Wei was again sent flying. He hit the ground with supersonic speed, resulting in a massive lava tsunami that traveled for miles in. He then coughed off a big mouthful of blood again.
This time, not only was the gravity affecting him, but the ashes on the volcano around him started to enter his body and started wreaking havoc.
However, Ji Song did not give him a single chance to breathe. By increasing the gravity downwards, his speed suddenly increased as he rushed towards Wang Wei.
Five circular vapor shapes could be seen in Ji Song’s path, followed by five loud explosions. This showed that using this method, Ji Song’ speed has reached Mach 5--which is five times the speed of sound.
Booooom!
With a speed of Mach 5, Ji Song hit Wang Wei straight in the guts, making him spit saliva, blood, and a few pieces of internal organs. Furthermore, he could hear the sound of bones cracking. Immediately afterwards, Ji Song kicked him from the ground, sending him flying away again.
Meanwhile, Wang Wei groaned before using all his strength before preventing stabilizing himself in the air. However, immediately afterwards, he saw Ji Song coming straight after it, so he crossed his arm to block the oncoming attack.
This time, Wang Wei only sent away a few meters, while actually sliding in the air.
Ji Song frowned, then decided to increase the intensity of the gravity by a few folds. As such, Wang Wei was flown away again with tremendous force, while simultaneously vomiting blood.
However, Wang Wei’s healing ability was simply inhuman. Only a few minutes after his injury, his bones would heal by themselves. As for his internal organs, he would use his pure origin force to heal and nourish them.
During the entire confrontation, the Northern Region was completely destroyed. Not to mention that it had already turned into complete lava, thus killing any kind of life that inhabited it: whether it was animals, people, insects, or plants.
The shockwave created by these two people are enough to kill any cultivators below the Divine Body Realm. Luckily for them, only a few people actually lived in the Northern Region; however, the casualties created by their battle was still in the 100,000s.
Meanwhile, Ji Song kept pummeling Wang Wei with more and more powerful attacks. However, his opponent refused to stand down.
More importantly, Ji Song discovered that with each attack, he has to increase the gravity around by a few folds. At this rate, he will not be able to sustain these attacks any longer.
What’s more, Ji Song had a feeling that something was wrong, so he used a powerful attack to try to end this battle once for while.
"[Gravity Implosion]" roared Ji Song with a clutching motion of his hand.
Suddenly, Wang Wei felt like he was in a cage as the gravity around him was actually crushing him from all directions: upward, downward, or sideways. All four sides seemed to want to crush him.
Without hesitation, he started to fight back. He stretched out his hands to fight the gravity that seemed to be slowly closing in. He gritted his teeth as he mobilized all the muscles in his body.
The air around Wang Wei started to tremble, then twisted around creating the illusion that the space was about to be destroyed. As a matter of fact, the space of the Warring Kingdom World was indeed close to breaking apart.
Meanwhile, inside the gravity "sphere", Wang Wei’s muscles and bones started breaking as he could not bear all the power. However, Wang Wei did not scream or groan, nor did he have a look of despair on his face.
On the contrary, he looked excited. As his muscles and bones kept breaking, Wang Wei kept breathing in a certain way to repair them. Vast amount of spiritual energy between Heaven and Earth entered his body to speed up the process.
At first, Wang Wei was forced on one knee in order to fight back the imploding gravity, but as time passed, he managed to stand up. Then, with a mighty roar, he tore apart the gravity field around him with his bare hand.
Meanwhile, Ji Song looked at all this with an ugly look on his face inside his rock armor before saying, "You used my gravity ability to actually refine your body. To be specific, your internal organs."
As for Wang Wei, he smiled after hearing this before saying: "Well, I would have to temper them with gravity eventually after I finish tempering my bones. I just used this moment of life and death to speed up the process and prepare for the future."
After saying this, he checked his body. His muscle and bone strength have dramatically increased. After he gets back home, all he needs to do is absorb the material necessary for his bones to finish tempering them.
Of course the reason that he allowed himself to be beaten so much was because of the [Overlord Fist] that he cultivated. According to this technique, the more brutal one gets injured, the more benefit they will receive. So, Wang Wei allowed himself to suffer so much.
As for his internal organs, this was the most benefit he received during this fight. According to the [Ancient Desolate Body Refining Scripture], refining the organs is a very dangerous process. As a result, it takes a very long process.
Wang Wei did not want to wait that long. So, he used a life and death situation to force out his potential and accelerated the process. And the benefits he got were unimaginable.
After finishing checking his body, Wan Wei looked at Ji Song with a calm smile, and yet a terrifying killing intent was in his eyes. Then he said, "Are you prepared to experience hell?"
