The Oriental Pearl, standing about 468 meters tall!

It is one of Tianhai's iconic landmarks. From its summit, Hong Tianshu stood as if a Divine Dragon coiled on the peak of a high mountain, exerting an overwhelming presence to suppress everything, sweeping across Tianhai!

At that moment, Qin Heng roared furiously, soaring to the heavens. He drew up the waters of the Huangpu River, forming a water bridge that spanned the sky. Bathed in the glow of neon lights, it resembled the divine bridge of an Immortal's palace, incredibly beautiful.

Initially, Hong Tianshu reigned supreme, crushing all opposition with his dominating aura. Yet, in an instant, Qin Heng shattered it. He was like a sword of the Immortals, capable of cleaving through all the paths of heaven and earth, forcefully carving a gigantic rift through the formidable presence Hong Tianshu had established.

In the blink of an eye, the skies roiled, and the suspended water bridge suddenly coalesced into a Water Dragon. Astonishingly, it took flight, somersaulting towards Hong Tianshu at the very top of the Oriental Pearl.

WHOOSH!

As the Water Dragon ascended, massive volumes of river water cascaded down like torrential rain, splashing along the banks of the Huangpu River.

However, at that moment, no one paid any attention to this. All eyes were fixed incredulously on the Water Dragon in the sky and the majestic figure ascending to the heavens, like an Exiled Immortal.

"My God! What is this, an Immortal Technique?!"

"Is this still martial arts? What kind of martial arts skill can achieve this effect?!"

"Qin Xuantian's methods are simply inconceivable, unbelievable, utterly unbelievable!"

Gasps of amazement echoed continuously.

Even those who had initially underestimated Qin Heng, believing Hong Tianshu could kill him with a single palm strike, couldn't help but marvel. With a mere flick of his finger, Qin Heng had summoned a soaring Water Dragon from the Huangpu River, a spectacle akin to a divine miracle that left everyone awestruck.

"Child's play, nothing more than fancy tricks!" Hong Tianshu sneered as his aura suddenly exploded. His Qi Force erupted from his entire body, showing a hint of resonance between his inner and outer self. Drawing upon the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth, he even managed to manifest the phantom of a Divine Dragon behind him!

In this moment, he seemed to truly become the incarnation of the Dragon King, a veritable Divine Dragon!

"Qin Xuantian! You haven't disappointed me! Come, fight me! Help me break through to the Innate Realm and become a Great Grandmaster, hahaha!"

Hong Tianshu laughed wildly as he leaped into the air. Soaring upward, he looked down from above, his raised palm morphing into a dragon's claw. The phantom of the Divine Dragon behind him undulated in sync.

It was as if a real Divine Dragon was descending from the heavens.

The Dragon Claws reached out, poised to tear the Exiled Immortal-like Qin Heng to shreds!

His furious roars thundered like earthquakes, shaking all ten directions!

"Qin Xuantian!! Show me what you've got! Give it your all in this battle, or you will truly die, a death where not even your corpse remains!"

At this moment, on the Huangpu Riverbank, a terrifying Internal Force surged through the void. Within a radius of several hundred meters, the wind howled and clouds gathered, the fierce gusts feeling like sharp blades scraping painfully against one's face.

"Too powerful! Too terrifying! We thought Qin Xuantian was strong, but who could've imagined this Nanyang Divine Dragon wielding such tactics! Unbelievable!"

"The interaction of internal and external energies, Qi Force materializing, the tangible manifestation of martial intent, shaking the very void—these are all hallmarks of an Innate Grandmaster. Hong Tianshu... he is really about to break through to the Innate Realm!"

"A Great Grandmaster! Hong Tianshu is truly about to become a Great Grandmaster! Once he completes the breakthrough, Qin Xuantian is doomed!"

The people on the ground exclaimed incessantly.

The power Hong Tianshu displayed stirred the winds and clouds, altering the weather. With human strength, he connected with and commanded the mighty forces of heaven and earth—it was an almost inconceivable feat, utterly terrifying and dreadful!

Under this immense and horrifying pressure, it was as if a Divine Dragon controlling the Huangpu River had truly descended. The river itself roared and surged, battering the banks and the boats on its surface, threatening to swallow everything whole!

"Die!" The light in Hong Tianshu's eyes flared, and the phantom of the Divine Dragon behind him almost fused with him. His momentum and power surged to their absolute peak.

He was now filled with confidence. He felt as if the very essence of his life was about to transform, ascending to the Innate Realm through the interplay of internal and external forces. This would grant him a glimpse into the secrets of heaven and earth, allowing him to march toward the legendary Saint Realm!

And being a Saint signified longevity! Martial Saints lived for a thousand years, enjoying true longevity!

"Die!" Hong Tianshu's Dragon Claw descended, howling winds accompanying the terrifying force that caused the Huangpu River to churn tumultuously.

He was truly like a mythical Divine Dragon, in absolute control! All for the sole purpose of annihilating Qin Heng!

"By killing you, I can break through to the Innate Realm, become a Great Grandmaster, glimpse the Saint Realm, and open the gates to longevity! For the sake of my Dao, for the sake of my eternal life! Qin Xuantian!! Go to hell!"

This battle would concentrate his Qi. By killing his enemy, he would prove his Dao, elevating his spirit, energy, and soul to an unprecedented level. This was precisely why Hong Tianshu was determined to kill Qin Heng!

Battle!

It was for breakthrough!

It was for longevity!

"It's over! Absolutely over! Hong Tianshu has completely let loose; Qin Xuantian is finished!"

"Hong Tianshu is using this battle to fuel his breakthrough to the Innate Realm, and he's on the verge of success. Qin Xuantian has no chance of winning!"

"Such calculation, such planning! Even though Qin Xuantian is an unparalleled genius, a young Grandmaster, he is no match for the cunning and scheming Hong Tianshu. It's over; a flash in the pan!"

Many Half-Step Transcendence experts and Grandmasters shook their heads and sighed.

In their eyes, Qin Heng was already a dead man. Hong Tianshu's aura was simply too overwhelming. Before him, Qin Heng seemed like an ant beneath a towering mountain, a bamboo raft in a tsunami, about to be crushed at any moment.

"Grandpa, what should we do?" Su Yiyi asked worriedly, looking up at the sky. "Could it really be that there is no way out? He is an eighteen-year-old young Grandmaster; how can he fall like this?!"

"..." Su Beihe remained silent, staring at the sky, his eyes filled with deep regret—such a pity.

"A meteor flashing across the sky, a shooting star falling too soon—such tragedies have been all too common throughout history," Yuan Zheng shook his head and said with equal regret. "Brother Su, it seems you know this Qin Xuantian. When his funeral is held, please let me know. I wish to pay my respects to such a young genius."

Talk of funerals and memorials began to circulate. A heavy silence fell upon the crowd; Qin Xuantian was undoubtedly doomed!

However, at this very moment, Qin Heng stood suspended in the air, like a lone boat upon a vast sea.

Facing the might of Hong Tianshu, which seemed to emanate from the nine heavens themselves, he suddenly shook his head lightly.

A look of mockery appeared on his face as he gently raised his palm, saying indifferently, "Hong Tianshu, I thought you would have some sort of impressive technique, but it's just these trifles that you dare to flaunt before me. Very well, I'll use just one move to show you how the light of a firefly can ever compare to the bright moon in the sky!"

At the same time, a slender, pristine hand, like one carved from exquisite jade, extended.

This was Qin Heng's hand. His was a body naturally aligned with the Dao!

Then, this hand gently lifted, fingers spread, rising above his head.

Within his palm, a power, dim and somber yet incredibly dense and substantial, began to coalesce. It was as if an ultimate divine seal was forming—one capable of crushing the indestructible, shattering all obstacles, and obliterating everything in its path!

Then, he flipped his hand down!

BOOM!

Heaven and earth seemed to tilt, the cosmos itself reversing, as if the vault of heaven had shattered and the earth collapsed!

An incomparable, terrifying power instantly crushed down on Hong Tianshu!

"You!!" Hong Tianshu was horrified, his eyes wide open, looking at Qin Heng in disbelief.

With a force capable of effortlessly destroying anything, it instantly shattered the phantom dragon enveloping him!

He was sent flying on the spot, plummeting from the sky!

He became a dark streak in the air before crashing violently into the Huangpu River!

SPLASH!

The river water churned violently. Waves crashed against the shore and battered the harbor as if a natural disaster had struck; the entire Huangpu River seemed on the verge of overturning!

On the Huangpu Riverbank, an absolute silence fell. Those who had been eagerly discussing moments before now held their tongues, staring at the sky in utter disbelief!

At this moment, between heaven and earth, it seemed only the figure of the youth in the air remained.

He stood in the void, riding the wind with ease!

Like an Exiled Immortal descended to the mortal world!

With a sweep of his hand, he had overturned the Huangpu River!

With a single hand, he could command the very waves of the world!
