"Pervert!"

"This guy is a pervert!"

Shouts echoed in the vast purple-silver world.

While everyone was shocked by Han Yuan's Elemental Bonding, his Spirit Soul also felt the same.

Di Yating has accompanied Han Yuan in his endeavor to create this new ability in the Elemental Plane. At first, she scoffed at his idea, thinking it absurd.

Then, Han Yuan slapped her face with his success.

Initially, he could only construct a crippled version of the elements he wanted, but slowly but surely, those elements became stable and solid enough to be shaped and controlled.

The most terrifying fact is that each element is 'significantly' strengthened by Han Yuan's ultimate life and lightning attribute. And it's not just putting 1 + 1 and making it two.

No, no, his ultimate attribute is a defining multiplier.

Yes, a multiplier that makes any attribute he made stronger than ordinary elements, but weaker than ultimate ones. In Di Yating's knowledge, this kind of element is called quasi-ultimate!

And yet, Han Yuan could use all these quasi-ultimate elements by waving his hand away.

Han Yuan utilized his ultimate life attribute as fuel, as it was neutral and capable of supporting all things, thanks to the inherent qualities of Blue Silver Grass. He employed his ultimate lightning as the generator. This process continuously operated in the back of his mind. If not, Di Yating won't be shocked.

Even Dragon God, who wielded many elements, couldn't do this.

Meanwhile, Neru (Heavenly Horned Ant) constantly praised, "As expected of my king, he's so talented and powerful!"

"..." Di Yating's mouth twitched.

One thing Di Yating regretted after becoming Han Yuan's contracted spirit soul was that she had a roommate. And this roommate is very loyal to their contractor, to the point of fanaticism.

Honestly, Di Yating understood. Who wouldn't be fanatical if they followed such a great man? Even then, she is still speechless.

This nympho of an ant is just fawning 24/7!

Get some fucking sleep, you little-!

Thankfully, Han Yuan hasn't actively monitored his Spiritual World, or he'd have a headache like Di Yating.

...

Back to the battlefield.

Two tsunamis clashed in the middle of the plain, crashing and creating a sky-high pillar.

Han Yuan obviously won't stop at this and changed his hand sign, which caused the tsunami to harden rapidly like a rock. Weirdly, the rock has this crystal-like gleam with several blades of grass poking out.

At last, the inky mud stopped.

Xumi was stunned and stared at Han Yuan solemnly, "This fight won't be easy, after all."

Yet, Xumi doesn't think much of it. He's just a shadow of his past, and his purpose is only to light up the past for the next generation. While Xumi was shocked, he calmed down quickly due to his rich experience.

The massive shield attached to his hand shone brightly with a white light as he slammed down, launching himself toward Han Yuan. The inky mud under his leg made another wave, allowing him to ski his way toward Han Yuan.

Han Yuan narrowed his eyes. 'This was an interesting way of moving and quite flexible in a way.'

'But still too slow.'

"Purple Silver Pillars!" Under Han Yuan's control, the hardened crystal-like blue silver grass shook violently, and countless spikes rose in the way of Xumi.

Xumi skillfully dodged several 20-meter-tall pillars, riding his inky mud with an unbothered expression.

That's until Han Yuan vanished from Xumi's sight and appeared in one of the pillars, having condensed lightning, his left hand ready to slam his face.

"What?" Xumi got caught off guard.

"Chidori." Han Yuan's voice reached his ears as brilliant purple silver light filled his vision.

BOOOOOM!

A thousand bird cries echoed in the plain, followed by an explosion. Xumi was launched off his wave, crashing into several spikes before landing on an untouched plain with a dazed look.

Han Yuan was like a ghost.

Let alone his presence, Xumi's heightened battle instinct couldn't even detect him.

As if he didn't exist in the first place.

Then, Xumi noticed countless small pollen-like particles in the air. They are so small that even his sharp eyes and strong mental power could barely see them.

What surprised Xumi was that these pollen-like particles were emitting a strange buzz. They prevented him from using his sensor ability, whether it was his five senses or his mental power, properly.

"When did he..." Xumi was about to say something when he realized that the first explosion, when the mushroom cloud filled the plain, gave Han Yuan a perfect chance to do it.

Xumi's eyes inside the jet-black helmet twitched in disbelief. "Damn, kids these days aren't chill!"

Realizing how meticulous Han Yuan was, Xumi realized he couldn't hold back anymore. His seventh spirit ring lit up, and the Mountain and Sea Shaking Shield grew another meter, matching his height.

At the same time, an enormous silhouette of a mountain and vast sea manifested above Xumi.

The earlier gravity is already enough to turn a 10,000-year-old spirit beast into paste. Still, this mountain enhanced that gravity even further, making even a 100,000-year-old spirit beast explode into blood mist.

That's just how much pressure the mountain has.

As for the sea, it washed away all the pollen and even had the effect of neutralizing Han Yuan's previous tricks, whether it was Purple Silver Tsunami or Purple Silver Pillars.

Han Yuan raised his eyebrow, 'Neutralization effect, huh? No, this is the cleansing power of water, but how pure it must be to wash away elements like that?'

Once again, Han Yuan was impressed. He didn't expect Xumi to have a trick like this.

If Xumi knew Han Yuan was calling his 'True Martial Soul Body' a trick, he'd have cursed at him.

Too bad Xumi is just a shadow of his past. He's only recorded an image with some will.

Xumi slowly gets up, and his jet-black armor gains some greenish runes as a faint image of a green-robed woman floats near him.

"Hmm, that's new." Han Yuan commented in surprise.

Di Yating also saw this and warned Han Yuan, 'Han Yuan, that green-robed woman is most likely that guy's wife.'

'And she was a Holy Beast.'

'Holy Beast?' Han Yuan learned a new term.

Di Yating sighed, 'Holy Beast is just a way of calling Spirit Beast with noble bloodline back in the day. They have immense talents and fast cultivation speed due to that.'

'However, what makes them special is the ability to bestow their luck to others.'

'Luck is intangible, but exists and is powerful. And for Holy Beast, who were stuck on cultivation, like using it to invest in others is much more beneficial.'

Han Yuan couldn't help but comment, 'And this guy is lucky to bag the Holy Beast as a wife on top of that? Damn!'

'Well, yeah.' Di Yating awkwardly replied.

'If I'm not wrong, that green-robed woman was a Black Tortoise. Her luck and essence allowed the shield to evolve into a God-level Martial Soul.'

'So, be careful, Black Tortoise might not look threatening as it was simply a turtle in a shell, but it can bite you back badly.'

'Look out for the counterattack!' After saying that, Di Yating cut off from the mental communication.

Without further ado, a black flash appeared before Han Yuan's eyes as the three-meter slab of a shield smashed through his mental and bioelectric barrier.

Han Yuan's body moved instinctively, summoning Twilight Shield and using it to mitigate the damage while eliminating the chance of Xumi's heavy shield touching him.

Then, Han Yuan learned that the Mountain and Sea Shaking Shield is terribly heavy.

He would have never thought something so small could be so dense and packed with momentum. After all, this thing weighs over thirty tons.

Thirty tons alone is dangerous enough, and then you add extreme speed to it.

BOOOOOOM!

Kacha!

Twilight Shield cracked, unable to store much elemental damage, as it was all physical attack.

Han Yuan watched this and immediately entered Lightning Armor Final Stage, as well as Great Thunder Sun Body, enhancing his physical prowess significantly.

He also summoned the Fallen Holy Spear, throwing it at Xumi almost instantly as soon as the spear appeared in his hand.

Xumi raised his shield and deflected the spear away, giving Han Yuan a split second for another attack.

Han Yuan raised his right hand and waved it, "Purple Silver Blades."

Countless scattered Purple Silver Grass stormed the sky above, swirling and forming a complex formation of a tornado.

And this is no ordinary grass tornado because each blade of grass is as tough and as sharp as a blade due to the Elemental Bonding - Metal (Gold) element.

Clank! Clank! Clank! Clank! Clank!

The sharp tornado surrounded Xumi, making a continuous metal clashing sound as they bounced off his armor and shield. Regardless, each metal clash allowed the blade-like grass to spin more aggressively and vibrate almost like a saw, simply shaving the shield warrior's defense slowly but surely.

When Xumi used the vast sea to wash away all these grass blades, it was too late.

The smell of burning grass appeared, and intense heat rose to the sky.

A mighty roar came from the atmosphere as thunderclouds gathered into a horned beast. Han Yuan wielded the Fallen Holy Spear and looked down as if he were a god judging the world.

"Furious Kirin's Heart Strike!"

Han Yuan clenched his hand, holding the rapidly spinning spear, and then threw it down in one smooth motion.

Xumi couldn't react in time because the attack was too fast this time. A purple-silver horned beast descended from the dark sky, followed by a crack in his defense.

Crack!

A small crack appeared on Xumi's helmet.

BOOOOOOOOM!!

As the area cleared and some lightning snakes still danced, Xumi made it out with a half-destroyed helmet. He appeared to be a handsome man with bright green eyes because of Black Tortoise's bloodline, and a cut across his face.

Han Yuan saw this and thought, 'That attack combined Thunder Sonata's Kirin Attack and Heavenly Spear Judgement's Furious Heart Strike, but it only destroyed his helmet and made a shallow cut on his face.'

'This guy is TANKY AS FUCK!'

Han Yuan estimated that anyone below the Limit Douluo Realm would get their defense shredded to pieces by his Furious Kirin's Heart Strike, and would get killed or seriously injured if they didn't have a life-saving artifact, but this guy? He's something else!

What Han Yuan didn't know was that Xumi was on his last breath. Using the True Martial Soul Body and Xuanwu's bloodline already exhausted the severely weakened Quasi-God Expert.

Of course, there are some last cards or forbidden techniques Xumi could use, but that's only possible in the right conditions.

Xumi breathed in and out, staring at Han Yuan solemnly. He glanced at his shield and then slammed it down, supporting its inner part with his right shoulder, confusing Han Yuan.

Xumi's green eyes burned with an intense aura as if asking Han Yuan to attack again with all his might.

'Attack me again if you have the guts!'

Usually, Han Yuan won't fall for such a provocation.

But he actually enjoyed this fight.

After all, he rarely holds back.

So, Han Yuan set aside and clasped his palm, making an echo in this vast plain. Despite the extreme weight of the mountain and the vast sea, the echo reverberates miles by miles.

Han Yuan's hair suddenly became white, and his complexion became pale with a demonic aura burning out from the depths of his body. Four jet-black feathered wings burst from his lower and upper back.

However, the transformation is far from over.

ROAR!

A mighty roar appeared, and Han Yuan's body was 'intensely' clad in black armor, but different from Xumi's bulky armor, this armor is more skeletal with a golden shine.

The helmet opened itself, revealing Han Yuan's face and his now silver-gold slit eyes with purple sclera.

Both Di Yating and Neru naturally appeared, standing behind Han Yuan like loyal followers. Even then, they are more than surprised to see Han Yuan in this state.

'My King, so Handsome! Today is Awesome!' Neru was on the verge of tears.

Meanwhile, Di Yating was speechless because Han Yuan used three martial souls at fucking once!

[Demonic World]

A purple abyss-like gas appeared from Han Yuan's body and quickly changed the surrounding world, making it a true abyss for Demonic Power.

[Heavenly Demon's Chilling Gaze]

[Heavenly Demon's Broken Seal]

As Han Yuan gazed on Xumi, the shield warrior felt extreme discomfort and chills on his spine. The Demonic Invasion has affected him.

Then, a purple-gold sun halo descended from the sky and branded Xumi again with extreme slowness.

Han Yuan could have sealed Xumi's power, but he didn't.

Because he wasn't over yet!

[Clear Sky Horn Transformation - Extreme Penetration]

[Demonic Power Boost - Ultimate Penetration]

Han Yuan glowed with golden shine as he traced the now-shaking Fallen Holy Spear, granting the spear the attribute to ignore virtually any defense, even God!

Han Yuan and Xumi stared at each other, and then Han Yuan made his move.

He clenched the Fallen Holy Spear in his left hand and hurled it down with all his might. The five fundamental elements—fire, wood, water, earth, and metal—along with lightning, enveloped the spear like threads, merging at its tip.

In that moment, the spear appeared to flicker, as though it momentarily glitched out of existence, and then it teleported right in front of Xumi's shield.

Kacha!

BOOM!

A crack appeared on the shield upon contact, then a sizzling hole, and finally Xumi's chest, which was 'literally' blown clean as if a drill had run through him. Of course, there is no blood as Xumi was just a shadow.

Yet, Xumi still had a stunned look on his face.

Even in his prime, Xumi never gets his shield broken this badly.

At most, people used the gap in his defense and landed a killing blow, which was how he died.

However, Han Yuan did it.

He destroyed his Ultimate Shield with his Ultimate Spear.

Xumi laughed weakly, 'Who would have thought many years later, after my death, something like this could happen...'

'Shanjie, it seems your bragging about the unbroken ultimate shield was proven wrong today.'

After that, Xumi vanished on the spot. A shield's piece fell off to the ground, being an inheritance of Xumi.

Han Yuan descended and grabbed the piece. "If you're at your peak, I might not be able to defeat you."

"Xumi, you're unlucky."

"But don't worry, your inheritance will live on."

Under the shocked looks of three women and Thirteen, Han Yuan then returned as if nothing had happened.

Han Yuan looked at them, "What are you guys looking at?"

"Let's go back, I'm hungry."

"..." Thirteen.

"..." Han Yue.

"..." Ah Yin.

"..." Liu Erlong.

"No, no, no! You have some explanation to do!"

Thirteen and others shouted simultaneously.
