["Father, are you alright?"]
[Looking at the injured Shui Wuhen, Shui Bing'er wept uncontrollably and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.]
["Miss Shui, help your father back to heal his wounds. Leave the rest to me."]
[Looking at the over fifty-meter-tall Titan Snow Demon and the five ten-thousand-year ice-attribute Spirit Beasts before him, Tang Chuan narrowed his eyes, his Battle Intent surging.]
[Previously, he had wanted his second Spirit, the Gold-Eating Heavenly Gang Hammer, to absorb the spirit ring of the Mirror Shadow Beast.]
[He had originally hoped to obtain a Spirit Ability similar to an Image Clone.]
[If that were the case, he might be able to control the Image Clone to perform the 'Great Sumeru Hammer: Ring Blast!']
[In that case, wouldn't he effectively have two chances for a Ring Explosion!]
[Of course, Tang Chuan had not yet mastered the Great Sumeru Hammer: Ring Blast.]
[However, Tang Chuan had mastered the spirit ring fusion technique. Through spirit ring fusion, he could concentrate the power of all his spirit rings into his second Spirit, the Gold-Eating Heavenly Gang Hammer, to perform the Great Sumeru Hammer.]
[The power of such a move was already extremely close to a Ring Explosion.]
[As it happened, although the third Spirit Ability of the Gold-Eating Heavenly Gang Hammer after absorbing the Mirror Shadow Beast's spirit ring was Copy, not Image Clone...]
[...the Spirit Bone Skill of the Mirror Shadow Beast's torso bone, Image Replication, could also produce an Image Clone to test his theory.]
[Now, this eighty-thousand-year Titan Snow Demon and these ice-attribute ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts were undoubtedly the perfect touchstones to verify his newly acquired Spirit Bone Skill 'Image Clone' and 'spirit ring fusion: Great Sumeru Hammer'!]
["Blue Silver Emperor——Binding!"]
[As Shui Bing'er helped Shui Wuhen retreat rapidly toward the rear...]
[...Tang Chuan pressed his right hand downward, and blue-gold light instantly erupted from beneath the frozen lake!]
[In an instant, countless thick and resilient Blue Silver Emperor vines, appearing like blue crystal and entwined with fine gold patterns and other colored markings, burst through the ice. They grew frantically like countless giant pythons, instantly Binding the five ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts!]
[Meanwhile, the spirit rings surrounding Tang Chuan's body lit up one after another in rapid succession.]
[The Blue Silver Emperor vines were incredibly tough. Under the effect of the Eighth Spirit Skill: Devour, they began to frantically drain the spirit power and life force of the five ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts as soon as they entwined their bodies.]
[The five Spirit Beasts roared and struggled, using frost, claws, and breath attacks to tear apart large swaths of vines.]
[But the recovery power of the Blue Silver Emperor was terrifying; the severed parts Rebirth instantly as more vines surged forward. Furthermore, barely perceptible 'Parasitic Seeds' mixed into the wind and snow, quietly invading their wounds, mouths, and noses.]
[At the same time, Dominating Seeds were also silently injected into the bodies of these five ten-thousand-year ice-attribute Spirit Beasts.]
[After using his Spirit, the Blue Silver Emperor, to control these five ten-thousand-year ice-attribute Spirit Beasts...]
[...Tang Chuan's mind moved, activating the Spirit Bone Skill of the Mirror Shadow Beast's torso bone: Image Replication, choosing to Copy himself.]
[Suddenly, amidst a dazzling silver light, an 'Image Tang Chuan' appeared. It looked exactly like Tang Chuan, though its entire body glowed with a faint silver light and was slightly transparent.]
[Except for its eyes, which lacked Spirit, the Image Tang Chuan was identical to Tang Chuan's original body in appearance, aura, and spirit power fluctuations, as if they were twins of a single entity.]
[After producing the Image Clone...]
[...Tang Chuan's body was instantly enveloped in a Mirror Shield. He suddenly soared into the air, rising directly to a height of over a thousand meters. With his robes fluttering, he looked down from above.]
[Through mental force, he gained complete control over the Image Clone.]
[Under Tang Chuan's control...]
[...on the ice surface, the Image Tang Chuan instantly extended his right hand. An Image Gold-Eating Heavenly Gang Hammer, identical to the second Spirit but shimmering with silver light, instantly manifested.]
[At the same time, three spirit rings—pitch-black, crimson, and black-tinged-with-red—rose from beneath his feet and circled his body.]
[Upon seeing Tang Chuan suddenly soar a thousand meters into the sky, leaving only the Image Tang Chuan behind...]
[...although it didn't understand what was happening...]
[...since it was an enemy, the eighty-thousand-year Titan Snow Demon ignored the interference of the surrounding Blue Silver Emperor vines and charged toward the Image Tang Chuan with a roar of fury.]
[Seeing this, the Image Tang Chuan's eyes remained calm. He executed the Self-created Spirit Skill: Thunder Flash to retreat rapidly.]
[On the other hand, the three spirit rings surrounding him quickly fused together, turning into an incredibly crimson spirit ring.]
["spirit ring fusion!"]
[Light flashed in the Image Tang Chuan's eyes as he raised the Image Gold-Eating Heavenly Gang Hammer high and shouted.]
[As the spirit ring fusion was completed, a terrifying spirit power instantly erupted from the spirit ring. Under Tang Chuan's guidance, it all flooded into the Image Gold-Eating Heavenly Gang Hammer in his hand.]
[In an instant, the Image Gold-Eating Heavenly Gang Hammer in his hand rapidly expanded, becoming increasingly solid and deep black in color.]
[Pitch-black spirit power swirled around the hammer head. The space itself seemed to distort violently, emitting a low, terrifying hum.]
[An indescribable, destructive sense of oppression suddenly erupted, sweeping across the surroundings.]
[Sensing a strong threat, a deep wariness and fury flashed through the Titan Snow Demon's ice-blue beast pupils, and it couldn't help but roar.]
[It could feel that the thing condensing in the human's hand contained power capable of threatening its life!]
[However, as a member of a kingly race of the Far North, the Titan Snow Demon was unwilling to turn and flee.]
[The pride and rage of a king caused it to let out an unwilling roar, transforming its fear into an even more frenzied charge. Ice-blue spirit power condensed into thick crystal armor on its body as its speed increased further, vowing to crush the human before him before he could launch his attack!]
[Because spirit ring fusion required a longer charging time and more time to guide the spirit power compared to a Ring Explosion...]
[...and seeing the Titan Snow Demon roaring and charging toward him...]
[...Tang Chuan simply shifted his thoughts.]
[The Blue Silver Emperor vines that were Binding the five ten-thousand-year ice-attribute Spirit Beasts instantly released them, allowing the Frost Giant Crocodile, Snowfield Demon Wolf, Ice Vulture, Ice Magic Lion, and Glacier Giant Elephant to regain their mobility.]
[But at this moment, the five ten-thousand-year ice-attribute Spirit Beasts had all been controlled by the Dominating Seeds, turning into Tang Chuan's Puppets.]
["Stop it!"]
[Under Tang Chuan's command, the five ice-attribute ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts all rushed toward the Titan Snow Demon.]
[The Frost Giant Crocodile swung its tail, striking at the Titan Snow Demon's knee joint!]
[The Snowfield Demon Wolf turned into an afterimage, lunging straight for its eyes!]
[The Ice Vulture dove down, its ice claws snatching at the top of its head!]
[The Ice Magic Lion exhaled extreme cold frost, blocking its forward path!]
[The Glacier Giant Elephant raised its trunk and trumpeted, slamming into the Titan Snow Demon!]
[Seeing that its subordinates seemed to be controlled by the human before it, the Titan Snow Demon became even more furious, going completely berserk.]
["Get out of the way!"]
[The Titan Snow Demon roared, its giant arm sweeping out to swat away the crocodile, its head slamming into the demon wolf to knock it back, its ice claws swiping upward to cripple the vulture. Facing the lion's frost breath, it unleashed an even more violent breath of its own, freezing half of the lion's body!]
[As for the Glacier Giant Elephant, the Titan Snow Demon's massive body simply sent it flying upon impact.]
[However, this brief delay had already won the final moments of time for the Image Tang Chuan.]
["spirit ring fusion: Great Sumeru Hammer!"]
[The Image Tang Chuan let out a low, thunderous shout. He gripped the handle of the dark-gold giant hammer, which had expanded to its limit like a mountain, and met the charging Titan Snow Demon with a pure, violent upward swing!]
[No technique, no flashiness, only power!]
[Power that was pure to the extreme, compressed to the extreme, and explosive to the extreme!]
[In an instant, the massive Image Gold-Eating Heavenly Gang Hammer sliced through the sky. The pitch-black spirit power surrounding the hammer head left a black trail in the air, and space was easily torn like silk cloth.]
[In the Titan Snow Demon's eyes, only that ever-expanding, silver-shimmering dark-gold giant hammer remained.]
[It let out a furious roar, pouring all its spirit power and life force into the ice crystal armor on its body, crossing its claws in front of its chest in an attempt to block.]
["Boom!"]
[Amidst a thunderous roar, the massive Image Gold-Eating Heavenly Gang Hammer and the Titan Snow Demon's defensive posture—its giant ice crystal claws formed from all its spirit power—collided solidly!]
[Time seemed to freeze for a moment at that point.]
[Then—]
["Crack! Crack, crack——!!!"]
[A scalp-numbing, dense sound of bones shattering, like popping beans, exploded from the Titan Snow Demon's arms and chest!]
[Its ice crystal arm bones, which were strong enough to withstand an attack from a Titled Douluo, shattered and disintegrated like rotten wood under the peerless impact of the dark-gold giant hammer!]
[Its crossed defensive arms twisted and deformed grotesquely. Pale white broken bones, mixed with ice-blue blood and muscle tissue, pierced through its fur and were exposed to the bitter cold wind!]
["Pfft——!!!"]
[The Titan Snow Demon's massive body was as if struck by the full force of an ancient giant god. A giant hammer-shaped crater visibly caved in its chest; its breastbone was completely shattered, and its internal organs were turned to mush!]
[It only managed half a scream before it was blasted off its feet by the irresistible, majestic force. Blood mixed with shattered internal organs sprayed from its mouth, drawing a tragic arc of red across the snow!]
["Boom, rumble——!!!"]
[The fifty-meter-tall massive body was like a giant rock thrown by a catapult, flying backward!]
[It smashed through countless ice pillars and leveled ice hills along the way, plowing a terrifying trench hundreds of meters long on the ice surface before finally slamming hard into the distant ice peak wall!]
["Thud——!!!"]
[There was another extremely dull explosion, and the entire valley shook. Countless piles of snow and ice blocks fell from the ice peak.]
[The Titan Snow Demon's body was deeply embedded in the mountain wall. Centered on the impact point, spiderweb-like cracks spread out for dozens of meters.]
[Embedded in the mountain wall, its head hung powerlessly, bleeding from its seven orifices. The massive depression in its chest was shocking to behold, and its life force was instantly extinguished like a candle in a gale.]
[The eighty-thousand-year Titan Snow Demon was killed instantly by Tang Chuan with a single strike of the Great Sumeru Hammer: spirit ring fusion!]
[Behind him, seeing this scene, both Shui Wuhen and Shui Bing'er could not help but widen their eyes, their hearts filled with extreme shock.]
White World, Clear Sky Sect.
"This!!!"
At this moment, seeing in the comparison video that Tang Chuan actually used an Image Clone to perform the Great Sumeru Hammer, and used the power of spirit ring fusion to unleash a terrifying strike that was incredibly close to a Ring Explosion!
Both Tang Xiao and the Clear Sky Sect Elders like Seventh Elder Tang Lie immediately widened their eyes, their hearts filled with shock and horror.
