"So that's how it is," Meng Changqing nodded slightly.

According to Dongmen Xiangzhong, the true potential of the technique required the second chapter. The initial chapter alone shouldn't grant such terrifying regenerative abilities.

As for Sikong Wuque's status panel, it only listed the initial chapter.

So, it's a temporary inheritance from a predecessor?

Swish!

Sword light rose once more as Meng Changqing charged forward, sword in hand.

"Let's see how many times you can regenerate!"

Bang!

Sikong Wuque exploded again and reformed shortly after, his expression increasingly grim.

First, he felt powerless. His opponent's strength was overwhelming to an absurd degree.

Second, in his entire cultivation journey, when had he ever been reduced to such a state?

Even against chief disciples of the Holy Lands, he could confidently exchange dozens of moves.

This, however, was one-sided suppression.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Sikong Wuque exploded repeatedly, his recovery growing slower each time.

Finally, in the last instance, he could no longer regenerate his arms or even part of his chest.

It was clear he had reached his limit.

"Meng Changqing!" Sikong Wuque roared, his anger surging to the peak.

He fully activated the power of his bloodline!

Boom!

The heavens quaked as a towering, pitch-black shadow, hundreds of feet tall, materialized behind him.

The oppressive aura of the shadow was ancient and overwhelming.

"So, he's preparing a big move now?" Meng Changqing's eyes flickered with interest.

This shadow seemed extraordinary.

"Meng Chief, be cautious. This is one of the Eternal Nether Sect's ultimate techniques, The Three Bows of the Nether Emperor. It's extremely powerful," Dongmen Xiangzhong reminded again.

"It channels the power of the Nether Emperor's reverence to retaliate against the target."

Sikong Wuque shot a cold glare at Dongmen Xiangzhong.

He swore to himself that one day, he would tear this man's mouth apart!

"Three Bows of the Nether Emperor?" Meng Changqing's expression lit up with intrigue.

Interesting. He had never encountered such a unique technique before. Attacking through gestures of reverence.

"The First Bow of the Nether Emperor!" Sikong Wuque wasted no time, dropping to one knee before Meng Changqing.

The shadow behind him mirrored his motion, kneeling down.

Boom!

In the instant the shadow knelt, a terrifying force erupted, surging toward Meng Changqing like an invisible tidal wave.

The void shattered wherever it passed.

The Nether Emperor — a figure of legend!

How noble and exalted was such a being?

Who in the world could bear the weight of his bow?

Boom!

The Heaven-Piercing Sword Intent surged, unleashing boundless sharpness that shattered the retaliatory force just inches away from Meng Changqing.

It stood like an unyielding ancient mountain, eternal and impervious to all laws.

Witnessing this, Sikong Wuque's eyes showed regret, though he had expected the outcome.

The Three Bows of the Nether Emperor was indeed formidable — just the first bow alone had the power of a high-tier Heavenly-grade technique.

But as a technique of the True Domain, its full potential required True Domain power.

At his current level, it was only mid-tier Heavenly-grade at best.

"Sword Twenty-Four!" Meng Changqing swung his sword again.

Knowing that this was Sikong Wuque's final card, he decided it was time to end the fight.

Boundless sword energy swept through, cleaving both Sikong Wuque and the towering shadow behind him.

Both shattered simultaneously, blood spilling into the void.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

At the same time, the unyielding aura surrounding Meng Changqing finally reached its peak, breaking through its constraints.

From chrysalis to butterfly, he transcended!

"Unyielding!"

"Unyielding!!"

"Unyielding!!!"

Ancient voices echoed in the void as countless figures appeared, each radiating an overwhelming presence that stirred the heavens.

"It's said that whenever an invincible being emerges, the heavens manifest visions of past undefeated figures," Dongmen Xiangzhong exclaimed with excitement.

The others clenched their fists, their faces full of awe.

An Unyielding Will!

An invincible being!

How arduous was such a path?

They dared not even dream of it.

But now, before their very eyes, such an invincible figure was being born!

Boom!

A massive sun appeared behind Meng Changqing, radiant and blinding.

It exuded an aura so overpowering that no one dared to meet it directly. It inspired only reverence, quelling any desire for battle.

"An Unyielding Will, radiant as the sun," Dongmen Xiangzhong murmured, slowly bowing his head.

This was an instinctive response from the depths of his soul.

—

"So, this is the unyielding will?" Meng Changqing turned to gaze at the brilliant sun behind him.

It embodied his unyielding conviction — his invincible will made manifest.

"Finally, I've forged it," he said with a smile.

The benefits of the Unyielding Will were vast, primarily affecting the mental realm.

Now, even when facing Marquis-level experts or the legendary Kingly Domain pressure, he could remain calm and unaffected.

In combat, unless his opponent's mental strength vastly exceeded his, a single glance could shatter their courage and will to fight.

Additionally, under the protection of the Unyielding Will, his combat power would only grow stronger the longer he fought, allowing him to unleash his full potential and even surpass it!

"Not bad," Meng Changqing said, satisfied.

With this, he had nearly accomplished all his goals for this journey.

He retracted his power and donned a white robe, returning to his composed, gentle demeanor.

Gone was the world-dominating, invincible presence from moments earlier.

With a flash of his figure, Meng Changqing arrived at Sikong Wuque's location.

Amidst the scattered remains of flesh, he retrieved a spatial ring.

Probing its contents with his consciousness, he was relieved to find the jade box containing nine second-tier Wish Spirit Fruits.

These fruits were incredibly valuable.

Though he had no use for them himself, they would make excellent gifts for others, such as Kong Linxue and Mo Xiaoyu.

It would let them know just how fortunate it was to be his close companions.

Aside from the jade box, the spatial ring contained many other items.

Unfortunately, the Nether God Reincarnation Codex wasn't among them.

But that was expected. Such a core sect technique was unlikely to be carried around.

Most were transmitted through jade slips that would shatter upon use, just like his Heavenly King Art.
