KABOOOMMMMM!!
When the fist was released, it was as if all the air in the area was immediately suffocated into exhaustion, turning into an absolute vacuum!
This in turns, created enormous pressure on the temporal s.p.a.ce of the surrounding, building up invisible breaking lines that streaked out towards the sky, away from Duan Li"s fist.
To put it into an a.n.a.logy, the breaking lines was similar to a ceramic pot being hit by a hammer on the top. The initial transfer of stress from the tip of the hammer onto the ceramic pot would cause its molecular bond to shatter due to reaching its limit tolerance, causing the ceramic pot to break downwards until it reached the bottom and merged with the other cracks to finally crumble into pieces!
Therefore, when the breaking lines of the temporal s.p.a.ce curved and merged together at one end point in the sky, a loud rupture sound immediately exploded out!
The heat and waves from this single explosion was not that fabulous and as showy as his Nine Fists Shattering Meteor. In fact, the explosion was more compounded and focused in a centered position!
However, the impact of this explosion had evaporated the clouds that was within 50 kilometers radius from it!
This was an absolutely shocking phenomena!
Still, through the untrained eyes and lowly comprehension of mortal cultivators, it would seem that the lacking visuals would make them misunderstood that this fist art was inferior to Duan Li"s meteoric fist from before.
But, Dugu Liubai, a bonfide immortal, that was watching this had taken eight steps backward by pure instinct alone!
What does this mean? It means that his body had reacted defensively by its own accord!
This was because he had witnessed something that was totally impossible to happen in normal situation!
In fact, even if the situation was abnormal, it would still not happen at all!
"How.. how is this even possible?!" he cried out. If he had hairs, he would have long plucked them out from his head. Unfortunately, he was already bald, similar to the most pious of all monks in the holy mountain. Even the reflection of heaven could be seen from the shine of his bald head.
He was shocked to his core because as an immortal that would be able to release the second shackle anytime soon given a few more years, he naturally had a wide understanding regarding the topic of s.p.a.ce.
The punch that Duan Li had executed before was far too devastating that the present s.p.a.ce was not able to contain it!
Therefore, the force instead had to travel through the fabrics of the inner s.p.a.ce, a special s.p.a.ce that made up the existence of the current s.p.a.ce in the third dimension plane which connects all matter together!
That was why the previous breaking lines in the sky was made visible; it was the sheer force from Duan Li"s punch that the present s.p.a.ce could not compute and had to transfer it into the inner s.p.a.ce!
However, as with all energy, they would eventually lose their momentum due to the conversion from one form of energy to another. Therefore, the breaking lines slowly curved together and merged after reaching a certain distance along with its force dissipation, because their energy was reduced to the form that the present s.p.a.ce could finally take and exploded out!
But, with all these explanations combined together, one thing was made apparent!
It was that Duan Li"s fist had reached a new, incredible heights that could threaten even those on the immortal realm! Or at least those on the first shackle!
Gulp!
To Dugu Liubai"s extensive knowledge, such method of offense could only be obtained when one had released the second shackle and entered the second state of immortality - the Omnipresent realm state!
At that state, even a casual movement of their"s would be able to induce such a world-breaking phenomena!
But for Duan Li, a mere mortal at the trashy realm, to be able to achieve such a similar effect.. this was something that was absolutely incredulous to him!
"Absolutely impossible!" Dugu Liubai almost bellowed out these pair of words out loud, even his b.e.s.t.i.a.l instinct was on the verge of cursing all the nine devas up to their ancestors. Thankfully, his last bit of rationality prevented him from doing so, or else a lightning bolt would probably struck him right then and there.
However, it doesn"t seemed that the impossible might was achieved without cost.. for Duan Li"s right arm..
Was completely destroyed, mangled together that it was too scary to look at!
"Urgh...!!" Duan Li groaned out at the sharp pain that even seemed to seethe into his bones, the pain was enough to cause him to bend and fell down on both of his knees while clutching at his right arm!
His facial expression was hideous as he tried to suppress the pain to no avail!
After executing that punch, all the bones in his right arm was reduced to fine dust, the meridians in it completely ruptured and his skin was bleeding out profusely!
"Sit down quickly and swallow this pill!" Dugu Liubai immediately flew into action after he snapped out from his daze.
Without any time to think properly, Duan Li followed the latter"s instructions and crushed the pill with his teeth and swallowed them. Almost immediately, he felt that the rate of degradation on his body slowed down considerably!
"That is a grade 9 medicinal pill, Violet Recovering Dust! It will slow down any chain-reaction injuries within one"s body to a snail"s pace for treatment. You really are too reckless you idiot!" Dugu Liubai bellowed out as he quickly put both palm onto Duan Li"s right arm that was disfigured beyond recognition.
Huuu!!
Driving his spiritual Qi, milky white light surrounded Duan Li"s right arm and wrapped around it. This was an all-round healing technique called "White Saint Heal" that he was most proficient at which could heal almost anything back to its original state.
However, to his horror, Duan Li"s meridians and Qi pathways was very abnormal!
"You!! What is with your inner body pathways? There are pathways and meridians that shouldn"t have existed here!" he said with a grim expression.
If he was confident with his healing technique before, now, he was not so sure anymore!
This was because the healing technique requires one to be able to remember every position of meridians and its recurring pathways which should be similar to all cultivators as long as they were human.
However, Duan Li was definitely not the case!
"Does this mean this fellow is truly a monster?" he quickly shook this thought away.
After all, Duan Li"s body const.i.tution and make up was definitely of that of a human. Therefore, he peered further and exclaimed another mouthful of shock as he finally realized the reason.
"This.. you.. you cultivated all three dantians.. and created new pathways to make a shortcut for some of the meridian channels?!"
Duan Li that was pale as a ghost and could not utter a single word due to the intense pain gritted his teeth and forced out a reply, "Yes.. Ah! This hurts!"
I don"t feel so good..
Duan Li could feel that even though the medicine pill had significantly slowed down his injuries, his All-Seeing eye ability was able to detect that his meridian ruptures was slowly escalating to the other parts of his body like a chain bomb!
If this didn"t stop.. he would become a helpless cripple!
This is bad..
