"Yak! Yak! Yak! Yak!"
Uniform and precise, each cry of "Yak" was like a deity setting foot on the ground, shaking one's body and soul.
Li Qianxia unleashed his full strength to shout, but still couldn't break his voice free from the unyielding cage of these countless devoted believers.
Li Changzhou saw Yak's body tremble slightly, sensing his emotions surging and burgeoning, perfectly excited.
At the same time, fear bloomed in his heart.
The opponent had already made a move in secret.
"Emotion Control"!
Yak's brow furrowed, and their emotions simultaneously returned to calm.
"At the second stage, the Spirit Clan has never ranked second," Yak slowly began.
Li Changzhou smiled, "Well, I've always been first."
"I will kill you," the ground ebbed and flowed like Tetris blocks, Yak's gaze sharp as a blade, "and you'll be the first to die!"
Beneath his feet, a column shot up, elevating Li Changzhou to just the right height.
He flicked the hem of his coat.
Swish!
Something was repelled by the coat, leaving shallow cuts on several blocks not far behind him, Yak's gaze truly turning into a blade.
Stone pillars rapidly rose on both sides, "digging" a long trench between Yak and Li Changzhou.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Countless blades of light surged forward like an invisible dragon, rushing along the trench toward Li Changzhou, his coat flapping noisily.
Li Changzhou was about to leap up when a stone pillar, noodle-like, meandered above him, weaving into a bridge to block his path.
The stage made of stone pillars, their hardness rivaling Mi'er metal, were built by Saints, merely to prevent excessive destruction. Little did they know it would become Yak's weapon!
Li Changzhou had no way to break through in a short time.
His eyes lit up with a blue glow.
Swish——!!!
Blue beams collided with the invisible gaze-blades, emitting a sizzling sound like flames melting metal.
Boom!
Li Changzhou appeared behind Yak, his eyes still vividly blue, spewing flames nearly solidified.
Not right!
Yak vaporized instantly, but a shiver ran down Li Changzhou's spine; he tilted back, falling just into the unfolding Teleportation Vortex, relocating to the skies.
The stage segmented into elongated grid-like boxes, undulating like waves, Yak appeared atop each one.
"Teleportation," thousands of Yaks spoke simultaneously.
Among them, one clasped his hands together, and suddenly a pair of hands as tall as a person appeared on either side of Li Changzhou, clapping together like swatting a mosquito.
Li Changzhou teleported to another spot, and right as he appeared, clap! Another pair of hands joined.
The hands passed through the Energy Shield, turning into invisible particles, becoming even more harmless than dust.
Not waiting for the vortex to unfold.
Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!
Thousands of Yaks clapped their hands simultaneously.
Hands as high as a man, like a coffin, buried Li Changzhou. Hands as high as two men covered the single-man-high hands, and hands as high as three men concealed the two-man-high hands...
Layer upon layer, until the last clap, a mountain of hands tens of thousands of meters tall stood majestically on the stage.
The audience was stupefied, unable to believe this was a First Rank Divine Will Warrior.
"No, he's Second Rank!"
"Yak, after the second stage, has risen to a Second Rank Divine Will Warrior!"
"Spirit Clan!" even the chanting participant was recognized, incredibly also a Second Rank Divine Will Warrior.
"Yak!!"
"Spirit Clan!"
"Yak!!!"
On the stage, a clapping Yak blinked, seemingly catching a glimpse of a black line streaking across his field of vision.
In an instant, two hundred Yaks turned to black ash, collapsing above the stone pillars, like piles of completely burned bonfires.
The two hundred and first Yak finally realized something was amiss. The pillar beneath his feet rose, avoiding the deadly strike, but his foot was...
Whoosh!
This Yak also turned to ash.
"So one hit means certain death?" questioned the remaining nine thousand seven hundred and ninety-nine Yaks.
The stone pillars beneath their feet melted, flatten like dough rolled by a rolling pin.
The flattened stone wrapped into spheres, encompassing the nine thousand seven hundred and twenty Yaks—I seventy-nine Yaks were killed by the deadly line during this process.
The mountain of hands ten thousand meters high dissipated like being blown away by the wind; instead, on the stage, stood nine thousand seven hundred and twenty stone spheres.
Li Changzhou landed on a pillar that hadn't turned into a stone sphere, looking up at the densely packed forest of spheres in the sky.
Whoosh!
A stone sphere began to accelerate slowly, stirring up the sound of the wind.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
All the stone spheres began to accelerate, the air shattered into pieces, turning into streaks of white air waves, like white ribbonfish clinging to the stone spheres that had become meteors.
Rain of stone sphere meteors fell.
Li Changzhou flipped over and leaped, landing on a tall pillar in the corner behind him, with the rain of stone sphere meteors closely following.
Just a step behind Li Changzhou was the audience, who despite knowing they were protected by a barrier, were still frightened enough to run away.
Only a few bold ones remained.
In the perspective of the online audience, it was as if Li Changzhou was leading them, preparing to resist this terrifying meteor rainstorm.
Li Changzhou raised his right arm, and everyone watched him.
Surrender?
Or stubborn resistance?
The Five Organs Gears jammed, rumbling as if a world began to turn, a powerful Qi ballooning filled Li Changzhou's body, all converging in his right arm.
Li Changzhou retracted his raised right arm, making a pulling back motion to gather strength.
To resist?!
The audience's hearts raced!
Boom!!!!
An explosion in the air, a punch was thrown, and Li Changzhou seemed to strike at the sky!
Boom!!
The ground shook violently, the leading meteor tore apart instantly, and Yak inside was reduced to a blood mist in less than one ten-thousandth of a second.
Rumble!
One after another, the originally despair-inducing meteors, under Li Changzhou's punch, seemed like balloons, successively exploding and shattering.
This punch forcibly shattered over five thousand meteors, and the remaining over four thousand were blown away by the air waves, turning their fall into an ascent.
The audience standing behind Li Changzhou instinctively stood up, gripping their hands excitedly.
"Who is he?!" Someone began to truly pay attention to Li Changzhou.
Bang!
Li Changzhou blasted off from where he was, and before the audience could see clearly, he was already atop the highest meteor.
This was pure speed.
The Five Organs Gears turned once, Li Changzhou twisted his waist, and kicked out with a matchlessly furious strike.
Boom!!
The meteor caught squarely, like a soccer ball kicked with great strength or a billiard ball struck in a game, careened wildly through the stone sphere pile.
Swipe! Li Changzhou appeared behind another stone sphere, equally fierce with his kick.
Swipe! The third one!
"Brother!!" Qian Xia's heart jumped up to her throat.
Outcries rose among the audience, and some of them instinctively stood up.
Behind Li Changzhou, who was gearing up for another kick, a Yak appeared, falling from the sky, his face pale and dripping with water.
'Divine Will - Reanimating Corpse'
He reached out with clawed hands, aiming at Li Changzhou's back, making a tearing motion.
The Five Organs Gears turned again, and a surge of strength emerged, forcibly changing the direction of Li Changzhou's kick.
Bang!
At the very last moment, Yak crossed his hands in front of his chest, blocking Li Changzhou's kick.
The air directly exploded outwards, waves of white Qi devastated everything in their path like the end of the world.
Whiz! Whiz!
Li Changzhou and Yak both landed, standing on separate intact stone pillars from each other, facing off mid-air.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Only then did the shattered stone spheres burst out of the white mist, raining down one after another.
Before the audience had a chance to catch their breath, Yak squatted with his legs splayed like a frog, palms resting on knees, his cheeks puffing up.
Whoosh! He blew out a gale.
The gale, like a pillar, wherever it swept through, the hard rock instantly melted into magma.
The wind reached Li Changzhou in an instant.
His coat was blown up by the hot air waves as if it were trying to fly away.
However, its owner stood steadfast atop the pillar, not moving an inch.
Hiss! Li Changzhou took a breath, the Five Organs Gears turned, and he blew out a breath as well.
Boom!!
The two breaths collided like a nuclear explosion, a massive mushroom cloud rising.
Qian Xia unwittingly covered her mouth, the billions of people stood up, their eyes glued to the stage buried by the explosion.
