"Oh?" Fang Xingjian said indifferently, "Is that so?"
As he spoke, his fists clenched tightly. He instantly shattered and then reassembled, appearing before the Panwu Heavenly Raiment and striking out with a punch.
The space was struck into vacuum, with the movement of space being like curtains. A violent power kept on surging toward the inside of the Panwu Heavenly Raiment, causing the Divine Armor to keep spinning like a spinning top that had just been whipped out.
The power of this punch was even fiercer than the attacks from before, and the Panwu Heavenly Raiment seemed to be slightly astonished. However, he soon reacted, "It's useless. The Panwu Heavenly Raiment is the product of several decades of the Mountainous Sea Dynasty, and it's impossible to be taken down."
Fang Xingjian clearly did not pay him any heed. Bringing along the immense power of the Heaven-Connecting Sword Physique and his physical body, he landed another fierce strike on the Panwu Heavenly Raiment.
With this palm strike, it was as if the heavens had collapsed, the ground had sunken in, and the mountains and rivers had shattered. There were only a bit of space ripples appearing, and there was no feeling of one's five senses being sealed. It was because Fang Xingjian had not used this palm attack to distort space and seal one's five senses. He merely struck out all of his violent powers onto the Panwu Heavenly Raiment.
With this one palm, the Panwu Heavenly Raiment trembled intensely. The Panwu Heavenly Raiment's will that was deep within the Divine Armor bellowed out furiously with a distorted expression, "How many times do you need me to say this before you would get it? It's useless! No matter who you are, it's impossible for you to break through this Divine Armor!"
Fang Xingjian still did not say a word and once again struck out his punch at full-power. It slammed onto the Panwu Heavenly Raiment and instantly caused it to spin non-stop and fly out toward the sky.
Then Fang Xingjian's body shattered, and his martial will moved at light speed. Next, he once again reassembled his physical body. This was the ability to move to close to light speed that those who were at the second tier of the Divine level had.
He instantly caught up to the Panwu Heavenly Raiment and struck out another punch. The Panwu Heavenly Raiment trembled even more fiercely and was sent flying out of the cavern. It was then struck with another punch from Fang Xingjian, who quickly caught up.
Although the Panwu Heavenly Raiment had been forged by depleting the Mountainous Sea Dynasty's endless amount of effort, there was still a limit to their legacy. Moreover, the dynasty had not had any Divine level experts who experienced the world's metamorphosis, thus their understanding of the theory behind the Divine level had been only until the fourth tier.
Therefore, although the Panwu Heavenly Raiment had depleted countless precious ingredients, it still was not as terrifying as the Hell's White Bone Armor which Saint Adam had forged in the past.
Moreover, Fang Xingjian had already reached the second tier of the Divine level, condensed the Heaven-Connecting Sword Physique, and transitioned into the Eternal Sword Seigneur. His abilities now surpassed the level of even the third tier of the Divine level. It was unknown who would emerge victorious until the fight was over, even if he were to face a fourth or even fifth tier Divine level expert.
Fang Xingjian struck out three consecutive punches like this, causing the Panwu Heavenly Raiment to tremble crazily in the sky. It was like a big bell, releasing loud buzzing sounds. The Divine Armor was unable to move under the force of Fang Xingjian's punches.
As Fang Xingjian landed punch after punch onto the Panwu Heavenly Raiment, its trembling grew increasingly intense while spinning at an increasing speed. In void space, there were even snapping sounds, as if something was going to break.
With a martial will at 1,150 points, physical strength of over 500 points... At this moment, Fang Xingjian's full power was unleashed explosively, showing a perfect display of the word 'power'. The vital energy and blood throughout his body seethed. Every part of his muscles, every single one of his bones, and every hint of his martial will became extremely tensed up, drawing wildly upon his power.
There was a total of nine punches, with the prowess of each punch being even more intense than the one before, and the sound of each punch being softer than the one before. It was because at the very end, the area within a radius of several thousand kilometers was compressed into a vacuum state. Moreover, this had only been caused by a small portion of repercussive waves, temporarily muting all sounds on the entire island.
After a consecutive of nine punches, Fang Xingjian stopped in midair, and his physical body flushed red just like a cooked prawn.
If someone were to take his body temperature now, they would realize that his body temperature had reached 500 degrees Celsius. White steam kept coming off from the surface of his body as if he was a large bamboo steamer.
Before him, the Panwu Heavenly Raiment had turned dark and dull, as if it would collapse completely at any moment. It had been whacked from a beautiful white swan into an ugly duckling.
The Panwu Heavenly Raiment's consciousness hid in the deepest part of the Divine Armor. He was shivering like he had been greatly astonished by Fang Xingjian's power.
'How is this possible? Who on earth is this guy? How can there be such a terrifying person in this world? To think that he's going to crush the Panwu Heavenly Raiment with sheer power?'
While Fang Xingjian was continuously chasing and striking the Panwu Heavenly Raiment out of the cavern, the heads of the six great clans reacted instantly. However, they did not make their moves immediately. Instead, they waited until Fang Xingjian finished unleashing his nine consecutive punches and the Panwu Heavenly Raiment had been rendered to an extremely weaken state.
"They're coming," Jacob's martial will bellowed wildly in the minds of the other five clan heads. "Now! Do it!"
Six light pillars soared into the air instantly. The entire tropical island seemed to be encompassed holy light and hymns as powerful aura came down from the skies. It was as if God had set His gaze onto this place.
Jacob floated up with his mouth open, and invisible sound currents filled up the entire island.
"The light is with me. Holy light bestows me with power."
His hands formed two seals and then consecutively changed to over 100 different seals. As he did this, the sky suddenly turned dark.
It was not just that the sky had turned dark. The sky within a range of several hundred lis had actually suddenly sunk into darkness. An endless number of light rays seemed to have been snatched away, absorbed, and gathered at the sky on top of the tropical island.
"Evil spirit! Kill!"
A great bronze door slowly opened in the sky above the tropical island, and an endless light scattered out from it. All sorts of feathers, holy light, hymns, and existences with or without form gushed out.
The 'Gates of Heaven' which Jacob led the six great clans to set up had the effect of amassing all light rays within several hundred lis and then attacking the target.
All the light rays within a range of several hundred lis... How terrifying were the heat and light energies involved? The amassed light rays could incinerate an entire city with a single blow.
However, the even more terrifying thing was that while the sunlight shone down, the energy supply was almost endless and could be used to conduct continuous attacks.
A white light pillar shot out from the Gates of Heaven, like a world-splitting divine sword. It engulfed Fang Xingjian in a single blow and then struck onto the surface of the sea from an angle.
In a mere one second, several hundred thousand tons of seawater were evaporated, causing steam to seethe in the air.
'It's a success!' Jacob rejoiced. 'The beam from the Gates of Heaven was formed by gathering all the light energy within a radius of several hundred lis, and it's also enhanced by the powers of our six experts. Moreover, due to how it moves at the speed of light, it would be too late for to dodge it by the time it is shot out.
'One blast of the power it contains would be sufficient to vaporize the body of a first tier Divine level expert. Although this person has strong martial prowess, he has depleted too much of his powers by attacking the Panwu Heavenly Raiment. This moment is when he is at his weakest.'
However, Jacob was never one to look down on any person, let alone an expert who gave the Panwu Heavenly Raiment a great bashing right before them and caused the Divine Armor to be completely incapable of resisting.
