Chu Feng complained in his heart. and looked over at Ji Rui who was beside him with a worried expression on her face. She frowned slightly.

“I heard that you were about to break through to the Martial Emperor realm a few years ago. Although you failed to transcend the tribulation, I’m sure you’re not too lousy. Brother Ji Zheng, I’m looking forward to sparring with you!”

Ling Taihe rose from the mountain peak in a flash, his robe fluttering in the wind.

Chu Feng was still thinking hard about how he could have intimate physical contact with Ji Rui. They had just gotten married, so it was not too appropriate to kiss her on the lips straight away… If he does not ask for too much, it was probably not impossible for him to give her a kiss on the face.

Everyone’s attention was drawn towards Ling Taihe. As soon as he finished speaking, the mountain peak on one side of the Dual Polarity Sect suddenly darkened.

“What’s going on? Why does the sky suddenly turn dark!”

There was a commotion in the crowd. A moment later, everyone realized that the sun was being blocked by a huge palm!

“Blocking the sky and covering the sun. This is a technique that I spent a thousand years perfecting. No one in the Northwest Clan is a match for it. Brother Ji Zheng, I wonder if you can withstand this move of mine?”

This huge hand seemed to be solidified from brass and had already manifested into a physical entity. The palm prints on it were lifelike and the entire Dual Polarity mountain peak was being enveloped by it.

The huge hand slapped towards the Dual Polarity mountain peak without a sound!

Everyone felt their vision go blurry. All the plants rustled as a strong wind rose and the entire mountain peak was completely covered by a huge hand.

However, in the next moment, a gust of extremely pure spiritual energy surged out of the Dual Polarity mountain peak. When everyone could finally open their eyes, what they saw was this spiritual energy resisting the huge palm.

It was the Dharma Idol!

It must be made known that the speed of the huge hand was so fast that no one could see it clearly. However, the speed at which Ji Zheng gathered the spiritual energy into a physical form was as quick as him waving his robe?

Ji Zheng’s spiritual energy had already transformed into a giant that had a figure similar to him. Everyone was shocked when they saw this giant.

It was rumored that Ji Zheng was about to break through to the Martial Emperor realm, but after all, no one had really seen what Ji Zheng was capable of. Now that they had seen it, they realized that Ji Zheng had already reached the top capability of a Saint realm warrior.

It was also at this realm that he could condense spiritual energy into a physical entity that looked similar to him.

Everyone called it the Martial Realm Dharma Idol.

Meanwhile, Ji Zheng’s Dharma Idol was already a thousand feet tall. It imitated his movements and could move mountains and filled seas in an instant!

As soon as Ji Zheng’s Dharma Idol appeared, everyone’s expression kept changing. They watched helplessly as the Dharma Idol enveloped the entire Dual Polarity mountain peak into its protection.

The giant hand inched another half step forward.

It was at this moment that the Dharma Idol completely blocked out the sunlight. It was pitch-black everywhere and only vast spiritual energy could be felt.

Ji Zheng’s figure disappeared in a flash, but his Dharma Idol became taller and taller. Everyone looked closely and realized that he had already stood on top of the Dharma Idol’s head.

However, Ji Rui’s expression became even more solemn at this moment because she had realized that the size of this huge hand was actually almost the same size as the Dharma Idol that her father had condensed…

“Hah!”

The huge hand suddenly made another massive attack. Everyone felt a fierce wind mixed with spiritual energy blow against them and they almost lost their balance and fell off the cliff.

However, Ji Zheng did not retreat and launch a counterattack instead. He consolidated his qi into his dantian1 and threw a punch. His Dharma Idol immediately followed suit and held off this extremely powerful slap.

A deafening thud came from the sky, as if Pan Gu1 had split the world apart. Coupled with the darkness around them, everyone was filled with panic.

Strong winds blew everywhere and many people were swept off the cliff, leaving nothing behind.

The aftershock of this tremor was even felt a hundred miles away. Fortunately, the capabilities of the people who came to the ceremony were far from weak, but they were also shocked by the terrifying power of this battle between Martial Sages.

However, Ji Zheng himself did not expect that the seemingly indestructible hand would be shattered by his punch!

The huge palm instantly turned into a handful of yellow sand and scattered in the air. If one listened carefully, one would be able to hear a buzzing sound as the surrounding space kept collapsing and then slowly repairing itself.

It was as if this strike was about to pierce a hole in the sky.

Ji Zheng’s right eyelid suddenly started twitching.

An indescribable sense of dread settled in him. He had rarely felt this way since he was born.

His heart beat wildly.

Retreat quickly!

Back off quickly!

His head almost exploded as millions of thoughts surged in his mind, but his body subconsciously avoided what was coming.

The Dharma Idol also immediately made a move to avoid this stubborn strike from the palm.

At this moment, the elders of the three main sects turned into an arc of rainbow and disappeared.

Alarm bells went off in Ji Rui’s head.

“Oh no, it’s a trick!”

As she predicted, above the Dharma Idol, Miao Yuan and Hu Fu blocked Ji Zheng from his front and behind. Meanwhile, San Si consolidated all the spiritual energy in his body and slammed it towards Ji Zheng’s chest!

Ji Zheng had nowhere to dodge and could only take the blow head-on and spat out a mouthful of blood!

“Hehe, you can’t hide——”

The other two men were afraid of his strength and struck out in the direction where Ji Zheng was about to retreat. Ji Zheng subconsciously dodged the attacks, but he was unaware that he had fallen into the gush of wind created by the palm…

“No!”

But with her strength as a ninth-stage Martial Sage, it was too late to do anything.

Ji Rui felt a chill run down her spine when she saw the scene.

Her long red nails dug into her palm and her entire hand was covered in blood. Even Chu Feng’s bones were almost crushed by her.

Ji Zheng’s Dharma Idol collapsed to the ground, stirring up a huge pile of dust that slowly scattered.

“Cough, cough!”

Ji Zheng did not look well as he pressed hard on his wound.

He had been struck by the wind created by the huge palm and the essence of his soul was damaged. The spiritual energy in his body was being scattered around and everyone present tried their best to absorb the whiffs of pure spiritual energy.

At the same time, Ji Zheng’s fallen giant Dharma Idol on the ground was dissipating quickly…

Ji Zheng desperately tried to activate the spiritual energy in his body, but realized that after suffering that palm strike, he could no longer consolidate his Dharma Idol!

“How did it happen?”

He quickly understood that there must be something strange about the wind from the palm.

Seeing that Ji Zheng had lost his Dharma Idol, Ling Taihe immediately seized the opportunity and threw a punch at Ji Zheng’s injured chest.

“Bang!”

There was a muffled sound of flesh tearing open.

Ji Zheng protected his vital areas but it was still a heavy attack from a Martial Sage. The flesh on Ji Zheng’s left shoulder split open and he almost lost his life.

Blood snaked down Ji Zheng’s left arm and a few drops spattered onto his white brow.

“Poof——”

Ling Taihe had intended to kill him with that punch, but he had been lucky enough to avoid it.

A bloody wound opened up on Ji Zheng’s left shoulder and his mind got progressively weaker. The spiritual energy in his body dissipated even faster.

No one had expected that the day of the Dual Polarity sect master’s wedding would be the day of the old sect master’s death!

Moreover, it was four peak-level Martial Sages who joined forces to kill Ji Zheng.
