Wang Wei looked at the freshly healed Ji Song with a pensive look on his face. He could tell that Ji Song did not use his own natural healing ability, but absorbed energy from the Earth to heal himself.
Although in the Five Elements, Wood is often known for its healing properties, the Earth element is also good at healing.
Many people or culture believed that we humans were born from the soil and will eventually return to it. As such, the Earth is our mother and it can nourish us, it can both heal and protect us.
So, Wang Wei guessed that the cultivation method that Ji Song used was based on that idea.
After thinking about the information he knew from the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty, Wang Wei then said with a calm smile, "If you only cultivate the [Myriad Earth Codex] to this level, then you are destined to lose this battle."
However, Ji Song just shrugged his shoulders and answered with a cold voice, "It's you that should be worried. From what I've seen so far, it seems that the [Ancient Desolate Body Refining Scripture] was wasted on the likes of you."
"Hehe," replied Wang Wei with a smirk on his face. "And yet, this waste almost killed you with one punch."
Veins instantly started to appear in Ji Song's face, then his mouth started to twitch. However, he immediately calmed himself down. Then, the rock armor manifested around Ji Song again; however, this time things were slightly different.
There were countless red and hot lines that were inscribed in the armor. Following which, it turns from grey to dark red. Two horns appeared on top of Ji Song's head, then, the frozen ground under his feet melted and turned into lava.
Meanwhile, Wang Wei was a little surprised after seeing this. Of course he was not surprised by Ji Song's transformation, but by his reaction. The last time they fought, he instantly became angry after being taunted by Wang Wei.
However, this time, he managed to calm himself down after just a few seconds. After seeing this, Wang Wei then realized that he was not the only one who grew up and learned new things in the past few decades; that his opponents were also growing and learning from their adventures and failures.
In the end, the ones that grow faster and learn to adapt as quickly as possible will be the ones that he gets to meet during the Heaven Will Battle.
After quickly thinking about this kind of thing, he reigned in his mind and focused on the battle. Without hesitation, he rushed straight towards Ji Song and threw a [Earthquake Fist].
However, Ji Song was not to be outdone, so his hand turned into boiling hot magma and he also threw a punch.
Boom!
A terrible explosion occurred after these two clashed. A massive mushroom cloud appeared afterwards. It was as if a nuclear bomb had exploded in the place where their fist clashed.
Then, the entire Northern Region of the Warring Kingdom World started to tremble. All the people and animals living there suddenly felt that everything around them was shaking, that they could hold on to their footing. Luckily, there were few houses or buildings in this region.
Meanwhile, in the middle of the clash, Wang Wei was pushed a few steps behind, lava could be seen all over his body, but there was not even a scratch on him. His skin was still not even injured. As for Ji Song, he stood in the same place, however, he spewed out a big mouthful of blood.
This time however, Wang Wei did not give his opponent the time to recuperate. He instantly activated his Divine Veins and threw a punch. He used the [Lion Fist] attack in his grandfather's cultivation technique, [Overlord Fist].
A lion suddenly appeared after Wang Wei threw his punch, and roared to create a soundwave attack. However, this attack was not a regular [Lion Fist].
No, Wang Wei used the vibration from his [Earthquake Fist] to fuse with the soundwave attack of the Lion's Roar.
As such, Ji Song suddenly felt his eardrum burst, then a powerful shockwave was started to do a number on his internal organs. So, without hesitation he opened his mouth and also roared.
However, what came out of his mouth was not sound waves, but burning lava, which instantly created another powerful explosion after hitting the lion's roar.
Wang Wei reacted quickly and created a shield around him with both his origin qi and the spiritual qi in the environment. He rushed straight into the explosion, bearing all the blunt of the shockwave that it created.
In just a few seconds, he appeared in front of Ji Song, who could not see anything due to all the fire and smoke around him. Nevertheless, he still sensed some sort of danger, so instantly created more lava around his armor and cooled it down, thus reinforcing his defensive ability.
Meanwhile, after Wang Wei reached in front of Ji Song, he used the [Tiger Fist] this time. A tiger manifested from Wang Wei's punch, then revealing an intense killing intent that wanted to overwhelm Ji Song' senses.
However, he woke up after less than a second of being in a trance, however, by that time, the tiger had already turned into a red light pierced straight into his body, trying to destroy anything in its path.
Ji Song's instant armor managed to buy him a brief moment of rest, however, he knew that he would not be able to stop this attack. So, he immediately redirected it into his right arm, thus sacrificing it.
Psst!
A red light pierced Ji Song's right arm, but Ji Song did not scream or back down. Instead, he instantly counter-attacked.
He lifted his leg and stomped on the ground, then the frozen earth seemed to have been cracked by a Heaven Defying Axe.
Meanwhile, Wang Wei--who had just finished his attack--watched as the ground under his feet suddenly separated into two sides, then a powerful volcano eruption appeared with him at the very center.
A terrifying heat engulfed his whole body, wishing to sunder not only his body, but his soul as well; this heat wanted to burn his very existence.
All this while, Ji Song watched all of this happening while at the same time observing how his arm will heal. Unfortunately for him, his fleshly body did not allow him to instantly heal his injuries. So, he began to absorb energy from the Earth to heal.
However, the process was still extremely slow. It was then that Ji Song noticed that this attack also contained a powerful will that prevented his healing, so he started to fight with it.
Meanwhile, after a few minutes, the volcano eruption stopped, and Ji Song watched Wang Wwi floating in the air.
Ji Song's face instantly became ugly as he realized that his attack did not break the defense of Wag Wei, let alone injure. To be precise, this attack did not break all of his defense.
Ji Song could see that a powerful field was surrounding Wang Wei' skin, providing him with a powerful defense. His attack managed to break that field, but it still failed to break his skin.
After a few seconds, Ji Song had managed to remove the killing will inside his arm and healed properly. However, Wang Wei's Innate Aura or Field recovered by itself and began to protect him again.
Ji Song's face became ugly as he refused to believe that he could not even wound his opponent.
How could he accept that someone that could not even take on a single punch from a few decades ago, now has outclassed him to this level?
So, he decided to go all out for this fight. His Black Lava Armor suddenly increased from ten meters to 20 meters. Then, Ji Song started to throw punches.
However, with each powerful punch, a meteor was formed and rushed towards Wang Wei. What's more, these meteors broke the sound barrier, increasing their levels of destruction.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The burning meteor brought with them the will or intent to destroy all things--both physical and spiritual. They wanted to destroy all worlds, all known civilization. Furthermore, this destruction had nor rhyme or reason: it existed simply for the sake of destruction.
Wang Wei had a serious look on his face after seeing this attack. However, he was not the least afraid. Without hesitation, he threw a punch with all strength, thus creating air bullets by bending the air pressure in his surroundings to his will.
The first meteor exploded, scattering countless flaming pieces of earth debris all over the surrounding area.
After seeing this, Wang Wei's eyes lit and he continued to punch them. However, the quantity was quite outrageous and they came too fast.
So, after crushing a few dozen meteors, many of them suddenly rushed towards him and crashed into him.
Boom!
Another powerful explosion occurs. Although Wang Wei managed to cross his arms to block the attack, the powerful shockwave still sent him flying a few hundred kilometers until he landed on a frozen mountain.
With another boom sound, the mountain was instantly destroyed after Wang Wei landed. Meanwhile, Ji Song had stopped attacking. He looked in the direction of the mountain while breathing heavily.
He was looking to see whether his attack actually worked this time.
