Chapter 0331: The Power of the Great Dao

The biggest edge the Martial Dao stage has over the Martial Body stage is the ability to tap into the potent and enigmatic Great Dao power.

When Xiao Yanglong and Qin Yun were fighting, Xiao Yanglong did not use the Great Dao power!

Xiao Yanglong had initially figured that sticking to basic strength against Qin Yun would let the battle drag on, letting him toy with Qin Yun and spice up the fight.

Little did he know, Qin Yun's strength was shockingly overwhelming.

Without tapping into the Great Dao power of the Martial Dao stage, it would be difficult to achieve victory.

Just as Xiao Yanglong leaped up, Qin Yun roared again, unleashing the Heavenly Lion's Sky-Roaring Sound, letting loose a fearsome sound wave laced with lightning, barreling forward.

"Child's play!" Xiao Yanglong coldly shouted, his body shuddered as a blinding golden light burst forth, blocking the sound wave and lightning.

Hit by the intense light, Qin Yun felt a searing pain shoot through his body and bolted to the edge of the arena.

It should be noted that the Heavenly Lion's Sky-Roaring Sound he had just unleashed had gained much more power after the evolution of the Heavenly Lion's Totem, with the roar now carrying lightning.

Yet, it was utterly nullified by the light radiating from Xiao Yanglong's body!

"That's the Great Dao power... totally crushing Qin Yun's strength!"

"Xiao Yanglong wields the Golden Sun Martial Soul, and the Great Dao Life Trace he's honed is undoubtedly tied to the sun. This kind of Great Dao power is downright terrifying!"

"This is the advantage of a Heaven-granted Martial Soul! The Heaven-granted Great Dao power!"

Noticing Qin Yun's stunned look, Xiao Yanglong sneered icily: "The ninth level of the Martial Body stage stands no chance against the Great Dao power!"

After speaking, his body left a golden blur in its wake, and in a flash, he was right in front of Qin Yun, slapping him with his palm!

He didn't bother with any martial techniques, just a casual slap, but it was lightning-fast, hitting Qin Yun's face!

Bang!

Qin Yun's face was struck by the palm, creating a thunderous crack, and he was sent flying, crashing into the transparent barrier wall.

"The Great Dao power is truly terrifying!"

Qin Yun, horrified, scrambled to roll away on the ground to avoid a golden beam of light Xiao Yanglong hurled at him.

Boom!

The golden beam missed, but it still detonated with a mighty shockwave, sending Qin Yun flying.

With the use of the Great Dao power, Xiao Yanglong's abilities were multiplied, especially in speed, which Qin Yun couldn't match at all.

"Let's see how many moves you can dodge!"

Xiao Yanglong sneered coldly, and with a flash, he appeared above Qin Yun, then suddenly descended, his leg condensed with golden Great Dao power, stomping fiercely on Qin Yun's abdomen.

Thud!

The intense shock and violent stomp shook everyone's hearts!

Qin Yun's abdomen was brutally stomped, and he spat out a stream of blood like an arrow, letting out a scream!

Yang Shiyue clenched her fists, her heart wrenching, as tears brimmed in her stunning eyes!

Qin Yun was suffering like this because of her, yet she could only watch from below, unable to do anything!

"That jerk Xiao Yanglong, I’ll make him pay!"

Lan Fengjin stomped her feet, frantic with worry, her heart filled with resentment. Qin Yun was her master. If Xiao Yanglong really killed him, it would mean a blood feud.

Xie Wufeng said grimly, "If Brother Yun can't get up again, it's dangerous!"

The fierce sword aura around him flickered, as if wanting to burst forth, but he suppressed it.

Seeing Qin Yun's pained expression, Xiao Yanglong narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Qin Yun, I actually thought you were something, but you’re nothing!"

After speaking, his leg glowed with golden light, and he kicked Qin Yun fiercely, sending him flying into a distant pillar.

Qin Yun lay on the ground, writhing in pain!

Although he had suffered two heavy blows, the Vajra Bones inside him weren’t broken, only his muscles and meridians were damaged.

The Tree Totem in his Nether Sun Martial Soul stirred to life, its patterns, like roots, wrapped around his meridians, bones, and muscles!

Feeling the Tree Totem wake up, Qin Yun felt a surge of hope and quickly drew in Nine Sun spiritual energy through his Nine Sun Divine Soul, which could rapidly repair his muscle and meridian injuries.

Crash!

Xiao Yanglong charged over again, slamming down with a palm!

The force, condensed from the Great Dao's power, slammed into Qin Yun like a falling mountain, causing the arena to tremble violently.

This hit was way stronger than the last two!

After all, it was a life-and-death battle, and Xiao Yanglong's attacks were becoming increasingly heavy. Qin Yun’s clothes were in shreds!

But this time, Qin Yun stayed silent!

Qin Yun knew Xiao Yanglong well enough, who was only at the first level of the Martial Dao Realm and could not condense much of the Great Dao's power.

If he could just wait for Xiao Yanglong’s Great Dao's power to run out, there would be a chance to win!

"Qin Yun, you’ve crossed me too many times, costing me big and making me look bad. Now, I will take it all back!" Xiao Yanglong stomped down on Qin Yun's upper body repeatedly.

Each stomp was packed with the Great Dao's power, looking brutal, yet Qin Yun did not cry out!

"Let’s see how long you can last!" Xiao Yanglong got off on Qin Yun’s screams, but now that Qin Yun remained silent, it infuriated him.

This was because Qin Yun's Nether Sun Core was absorbing Xiao Yanglong's Sun Great Dao's power!

The Nether Sun could absorb the power of the sun, moon, and stars!

Especially with the mysterious Tree Totem attached to it, the core grew even steadier, able to handle the energy surges it was absorbing!

Lying on the ground, Qin Yun took a deep breath, and black energy erupted from his body, his eyes turning pitch black!

Seeing this, everyone held their breath!

Finally, Qin Yun was ready to unleash his black Shockwave Martial Soul!

Previously, Qin Yun had not allowed the Shockwave Martial Soul to possess him, to protect himself.

But now, the power of the Nether Sun Core could fully protect his body, letting the Shockwave Martial Soul go all out!

Yang Shiyue was both shocked and relieved at the sight, as Qin Yun still had an ace up his sleeve!

Everyone had expected Qin Yun to be quickly defeated by Xiao Yanglong, but no one expected him to be so tough!

Xiao Yanglong, feeling the terrifying shockwave from Qin Yun, grew more anxious. He roared, and the golden light around him intensified, focusing on his fists.

"Qin Yun, die!"

Xiao Yanglong bellowed, his golden fists smashing down toward Qin Yun's head with tremendous force!

The entire West Palace trembled, a testament to the terrifying power of the condensed Great Dao.

Using such immense Great Dao's power against a ninth-level Martial Body warrior was unstoppable!

Swoosh!

As Xiao Yanglong's fists came down, Qin Yun's inner energy surged out, blocking the powerful blows.

The shockwave was shattered by the fists.

Qin Yun had managed to block the deadly strike.

The crowd was in awe.

Xiao Yanglong was just as shocked. Qin Yun not only blocked his full-force strike but recovered instantly.

Xiao Yanglong quickly gathered his remaining Great Dao's power and lunged at Qin Yun.

Qin Yun swung his fist, unleashing the Tsunami Strike with his inner energy, creating black ripples. Nine ripples turned into shockwaves, crashing one after another.

Xiao Yanglong struck at the shockwave with his palms.

Now, Qin Yun and Xiao Yanglong were neck and neck.

It was shocking that Qin Yun, a ninth-level Martial Body warrior, could hold his own against Xiao Yanglong.

Could this really be the power of a ninth-level Martial Body warrior?

Qin Yun's shirt was shredded in the fierce fight.

His muscles were visible, showing he wore no Runes Equipment, yet his recovery was astonishing.

"Xiao Yanglong, you're not so tough!" Qin Yun stepped forward using the Star Profound Steps. His Heavenly Lion's arm glowed with purple-gold mist, wreathed in thunder and fire, forming a huge lion's claw.

Many recognized Qin Yun's Heavenly Lion's Dragon-Slaying Claw.

But now, the claw was larger, with longer, blade-like claws, surrounded by purple-gold thunder and fire.

As the Heavenly Lion's Dragon-Slaying Claw emerged, it was followed by the Six Forms of Wind Slash!

The Heavenly Lion bloodline within Qin Yun's body had completely boiled over!

His bulging muscles radiated a terrifying ancient beastly power, as if capable of slaying dragons and immortals, with overwhelming momentum and unstoppable force.

"Arrogant!"

Xiao Yanglong roared in fury, his body exploding with golden light. He repeatedly struck with his palms, condensing the Great Dao's power to counter Qin Yun's Six Forms of Wind Slash unleashed by the Heavenly Lion's Dragon-Slaying Claw!

On the martial stage, thunder roared, lions howled, and violent storms and lightning erupted incessantly, with golden and purple lights flashing intermittently!

The Six Forms of Wind Slash, unleashed in succession, with the Dragon-Lion Claw cleaving through the air, ignited purple-gold thunder and fierce flames, like a furious dragon, its arrogance overwhelming, relentlessly charging at Xiao Yanglong!

Xiao Yanglong, using his bare hands to block six consecutive slashes, his hair disheveled, his clothes in tatters, looking disheveled!

Everyone was stunned!

Qin Yun's strength had surged unexpectedly, becoming so terrifying that even a martial artist utilizing the Great Dao's power was reduced to such a pitiful state.

"A-Long, use an Earth-level martial art now!" The Yang Palace Lord from the West Palace, also anxious, shouted urgently.

"No chance for that!" Qin Yun, using the Star Profound Steps, launched another fierce attack.

Suddenly, on his muscular torso, black patterns emerged across his chest muscles, with a faint black mist seeping from them, looking incredibly astonishing!

"Totem markings! A totem has appeared on Qin Yun's chest!" someone exclaimed in shock.

"It really is a totem! What in the world is happening!"

"Qin Yun not only has dual martial souls, but dual totems as well—this is terrifying, how can anyone stand against him!"

"Look, that's the Dragon-Tiger Totem! Zhou Zhonghui's Dragon-Tiger Totem!" a Star Palace elder shouted, eyes wide in disbelief.

Zhou Zhonghui, a prodigy from the South Palace, who awakened the Dragon-Tiger Totem Soul, fell to Qin Yun in a duel within the arena!

No one had anticipated the Dragon-Tiger Totem ending up in Qin Yun's possession, concealed within his pulsating martial soul!

The entire West Palace square fell into stunned silence!

The seasoned elders of the martial world, each struck with awe, were consumed by fear!
