Chapter 92 Outbreak
"this……!?"

Sensing such power, everyone's expression changed. Zhong Qingcang, who was at the forefront, reacted immediately, his body flashing with spiritual light and instantly transforming into a suit of armor. The power of spiritual control was also instantly bestowed upon him.

This is the power of the previous Destiny!

Unlike Dongfang Bai and other relatively inexperienced successors, they have already reached the pinnacle of the Spirit Control Continent after experiencing two generations of dark beast tides. Their skills have been honed to perfection, making them the most powerful Emperor-level Spirit Control Masters in the world and the core combat force of the Spirit Control Holy City.

As the former leader of the Heavenly Mandate, Zhong Qingcang was the strongest among the strongest. In an instant, he summoned the Spirit Control Armor and performed the Spirit Fusion Technique in one go. He didn't even need to summon a spirit beast; with a flash of inspiration, he could fuse with the power of the Heavenly Mandate Emperor.

He stepped forward in response, blocking the crowd, and stared coldly at Shen He: "Are you really going to take this step?"

"It was you who brought this to this point!"

Shen He remained expressionless, his body radiating golden light. He was wearing a suit of armor, seemingly cast from gold, with nine dragons coiled around it, each one incredibly lifelike and vivid. The dragons' eyes opened and closed slightly, their heads thrashing and bulging, and unparalleled light and heat flowed within them, their brilliance dazzling the heavens!
"Ouch!!!"

Zhong Qingcang's eyes narrowed, then he took a deep breath, his expression turning cold and resolute: "Then let me, your teacher, see just how much confidence you have!"

Having said that, he unleashed his spiritual power and punched out with a thunderous roar.

His powerful punches, seemingly simple and unadorned, were actually the result of countless hours of practice and refinement. They even condensed the domain power of the Heavenly Emperor Beast, and the fist contained the Dao of Wind and Thunder, the Law of Wind and Thunder. It could be said to be a return to simplicity, containing his hundreds of years of hard work and accumulation.

Such an offensive would severely injure even a fifth-order Monarch Spirit, let alone a sixth-order Emperor Spirit, if they were not careful, or even be blasted to ashes in one blow.

This is the strength of the Destiny Spirit Master and the Destiny Emperor Beast. Although their destiny has long since vanished, those who once reached that realm still possess power that ordinary Spirit Masters cannot reach, and even an insurmountable gap.

Only destiny can defy destiny; this has been an ironclad rule of the Spirit Continent for millennia.

however……

"boom!!!"

A palm strike against a fist, a dragon and tiger shake the wind and thunder, a terrifying wave of energy raged out, instantly turning the small mountain pavilion into dust. The group of Heavenly Fate Spirit Masters behind were also impacted. The eight great Emperor Spirits remained unmoved, only Jun Cangming and his successors were forced to retreat by the force.

"Such power!"

The group was thrown back by the force, but managed to regain their footing. Jun Cangming's expression was solemn, while Yin Nianyun, He Yanfeng, Dongfang Bai, and the others were even more shocked.

Less than four months had passed since the Battle of the Raging Tide. Although everyone knew that Shen He was able to kill Shen Tu Yu and that his combat power was comparable to that of an Emperor Spirit, no one expected that this Emperor Spirit would include Zhong Qingcang.

Although they are all sixth-tier Emperor-level Spirit Masters, just like among spirit beasts there are lower, higher, and even kings and emperors, there are also different levels and strengths among Emperor-level Spirit Masters.

Shen Tu Yu, a mere ruler of the Fire Kingdom, though known as the Flame Emperor, was only of average ability among Emperor-level Spirit Masters. His strongest subordinate was a sixth-tier monarch-type immortal Vermilion Bird, and he was only a little over three hundred years old. His accumulation in all aspects had not yet reached its peak.

Zhong Qingcang is different. As the Supreme Elder of the Holy City of Spirit Control and the former leader of the Heavenly Mandate, the Chapter of Courage, he has lived for more than four hundred years. Not only does he possess the Heavenly Dragon King, a sixth-order Emperor Beast whose Heavenly Mandate has degenerated, but he has also honed his various skills to the peak of the Emperor Spirit level.

Compared to him, Shen Tu Yu, the Flame Emperor, is nothing more than a firefly, if not a grain of rice that shines.

But now...

"call!"

A fierce mountain wind swept in, carrying away the lingering dust and smoke.

At the edge of the cliff, two figures stood tall and imposing, their fists and palms clashing in a cold confrontation.

Shen He pressed down on Zhong Qingcang, completely ignoring his expression, and only turned his gaze to the eight Emperor Spirits behind him who had not yet made a move: "You—come at once!" "This..."

The eight Emperor Spirits' eyes narrowed, showing surprise and hesitation.

Although they knew that Shen He must have something to rely on for his actions, they only assumed that this reliance was the Golden-Winged Roc King, who could move freely with the speed of heaven and earth and the power to pierce through the air, and then use intimidation as he had done in the past.

But now, he can suppress Zhong Qingcang head-on, and even challenge the eight of them to a duel, taking on the nine Heavenly Mandate Emperor Spirits alone.

Where does such strength come from?

Did he really just inherit the legacy of an Emperor-level Spirit Master?

What kind of Emperor-level Spirit Master's inheritance can compare to the Spirit Holy City, or to their Nine Heavenly Mandates?
What secret is he hiding?
Filled with astonishment and growing increasingly fearful, the eight imperial spirits dared not act rashly for the time being.

Fortunately, Zhong Qingcang in front was not completely at a disadvantage. He activated his spiritual power and the wind and thunder rose up with power again.

"boom!!!"

A burst of wind and thunder erupted, and two figures moved in unison, rushing into the sky and engaging in fierce combat in mid-air.

"Heaven is terrified by thunderous fury!"

Zhong Qingcang activated his palms, pushing his Emperor-level Spirit Fusion Secret Technique to its limit. His Spirit Control Armor transformed into a dragon beast form, even altering his flesh and blood. His eyes were sharp and cold, his face was covered in scales, and a pair of dragon horns intertwined with wind and thunder grew from his white hair.

This is the ultimate manifestation of the Emperor-level Spirit Fusion Secret Technique, which merges the spirit beast with oneself to the maximum extent, entering a state of "one mind and one body". Human is beast and beast is human. Not only are they indistinguishable, but they can also complement each other and unleash a power that is more powerful than that of a single person or a single beast.

"Boom!"

With this secret technique activated, the power of wind and thunder was startled and instantly formed a domain, transforming all the primordial spirits within its range into wind and thunder spirits. Furthermore, as he moved his hands, they condensed into two dragon shadows, which blasted towards Shen He in the form of two dragons playing with a pearl.

Imperial Battle Technique - Wind and Thunder Fury!
As the former leader of the Heavenly Mandate, Zhong Qingcang's Heavenly Mandate Emperor Beast, the Heavenly Dragon King, is an extremely powerful true dragon-type spirit beast. It wields the power of wind, thunder, and air, making it the king of aerial combat and giving it an absolute advantage in the high heavens.

"hold head high!!!"

The two dragons emerged together, accompanied by wind and thunder, employing both strength and gentleness to create a playful, pearl-playing formation, aiming to blast Shen He, this humanoid dragon pearl, into dust in mid-air.

Shen He was not afraid at all. With the activation of his martial arts golden core, a dragon and tiger phenomenon appeared, which also startled the wind and thunder, and brought forth both strength and gentleness.

"boom!!!"

Xingyiquan skills and imperial combat techniques clashed head-on, resulting in a devastating explosion of three dragons and one tiger.

Amidst the surging waves, Zhong Qingcang took a half-step back, his spiritual energy rapidly circulating within him, using the Spirit Fusion Secret Technique to stabilize himself.

Even if the Spirit Fusion Secret Technique reaches the Emperor level, it only involves fusing with a spirit beast, not becoming a spirit beast. The fragility of the human body will cause problems. Although it can unleash stronger attacks, the body also bears greater pressure and needs some time to recover, otherwise it will be difficult to withstand.

But his opponent...

"hold head high!!!"

Before the aftershocks subsided and the situation was settled, the dragon's shadow appeared in fright, charging menacingly towards them.
