Chapter 451: Chapter 450: Big Xumi Hammer

```Domain, this is Huang Bingbing's domain! The true Domain of Cold Ice.

Without a doubt, maintaining such a domain must have an enormous energy cost, but it also undoubtedly brought her power to its zenith.

The piercing chill was bone-deep, exerting an indescribable and immense pressure. Within Huang Bingbing's deep blue eyes, a profound halo flickered. Being pushed to this extent by a non-God rank opponent, she had truly been enraged.

It must be known that since the battle began, it had been her, a peak God rank being, who had been suppressed! It was only after she resorted to the powers of her true form that she managed to turn the tide of the battle.

Tang San's gaze was serene, as tranquil as an ancient well, devoid of any fluctuation of emotion. He raised his hand, and with a flash of light from the ring on his finger, an object emerged from within it the next moment.

The instant this object appeared, even the process of its descent towards the ground became incredibly slow. And with it, everything around them also started to slow down.

The ice element that Huang Bingbing was extending towards Tang San at an astonishing speed also started to slow, even her thought process was affected.

Stone of Delay! It was precisely the Stone of Delay that was in reality a time-space marker which Tang San had acquired at the auction!

Even as a God level strong, Huang Bingbing was still affected by the Stone of Delay; the ice element she was condensing suddenly slowed, her actions slowed, her thoughts slowed. Everything seemed to follow suit in slowing down.

Huang Bingbing's face showed shock and astonishment, as she had been present at the auction that day and naturally knew what this was. Although knowing is one thing, she had not expected Tang San to throw the Stone of Delay at such a crucial moment.

What was he going to do? While this object could slow her down, wasn't he a non-God rank, and therefore more affected by it?

However, in the next moment, her expression changed.

Tang San moved. Almost instantaneously, a flicker of light and shadow, and he was by Huang Bingbing's side, the Earth Shattering Hammer in his hand striking down fiercely without the slightest reduction in speed, as if it were no different from before.

Charged with the Lion Tiger Golden Gang, a fierce blaze ignited on the hammer, arriving next to Huang Bingbing instants later with an unmatched heat.

How is this possible? Why isn't he affected?

Huang Bingbing was filled with shock and anger, her ice element burst forth to try and defend. A layer of deep blue ice armor congealed on her. Under normal circumstances, with her cultivation base, the ice armor would form instantly within the Domain of Cold Ice, strong enough to withstand attacks from Tang San, whose cultivation base was inferior to hers.

But the problem was, under the state of delay, she simply couldn't make the ice armor fully form in time, and the attack had already arrived.

"Boom—" Huang Bingbing's body was sent flying by the blow, the ice armor also shattered into icy dust. Had her body not turned into dark blue solid ice instantly, she might have been grievously injured by that strike.

Tang San didn't pursue; his body slowly rose in place, his eyes flickering with a glint of light, as a golden radiance seemed to unfold. He switched to holding the hammer with both hands, and the Earth Shattering Hammer in his hands suddenly shrank inward with its reddish-gold flame, growing subdued, as the hammer itself began to emit a strange dark gold color.

Though it was still the Earth Shattering Hammer, in Huang Bingbing's eyes and under Wu Bingji's watchful gaze, it seemed as though it had been magnified, giving off an imposing presence akin to that of a mountain.

Tang San lifted the hammer high over his head with both hands, his terrifying and immense aura rapidly climbing to its limit.

Is this…

God Rank?

Huang Bingbing's pupils constricted abruptly, that was unmistakably the aura of God Rank! And it was so powerful.

At that moment, Tang San stood as if he was a mighty God of war, with the Earth Shattering Hammer plunging down fiercely in his grip. The blinding golden light made it fall like a meteor, unaffected by the Stone of Delay, and this strike carried an unparalleled brilliance as it descended.

```

Huang Bingbing's eyes flashed with a trace of fear, and her body transformed back into ten-thousand-year deep ice, but in that instant of transformation, she felt that this hammer strike wouldn't be fully blocked by her becoming ice, and she might not die but would certainly suffer severe damage. However, she had no possibility of dodging.

"Boom!" The hammer fell, and rings of dark golden ripples suddenly burst outward, the violent and terrifying explosion causing the entire valley to erupt with piercing, shrieking echoes.

Even though Wu Bingji was at a relatively far distance, he could profoundly feel the terror of this hammer strike. The earth was trembling, and the intense rumbling even caused him to temporarily lose his hearing.

Numerous stones flew about, and dust and smoke rose from all around.

When he looked at Tang San again, what he saw was Tang San standing in a crater over thirty meters in diameter and five meters deep.

Countless cracks spread out from the crater, even reaching a hundred meters away. The might of this hammer strike had somewhat of an earth-shattering, heaven-destroying flavor.

Huang Bingbing was nowhere to be seen, as if she had been pulverized into powder. Tang San's aura also receded subsequently.

He suddenly lifted his hand, a stone fell from the sky, landing in his palm and then disappearing—it was the Stone of Delay. Along with the disappearance of the Stone of Delay, the flow of time in the surrounding area also returned to normal.

Killed? Did he kill the Ice Maiden Clan's patriarch? Wu Bingji stared dumbfounded at Tang San.

Although he had always known Tang San was strong, he really hadn't expected that Tang San would be so powerful that he could just kill a God-level strong being. Tang San wasn't even God-level yet! What would happen when he broke through to God-level in the future? How mighty would he become? Wu Bingji couldn't even see clearly what kind of power Tang San had used. To win just like that seemed too simple, right?

Just then, a blue silhouette slowly walked out from the distance. She looked somewhat disheveled, her clothes in disarray, her once-neat hair now somewhat unkempt, and a trace of fear had not yet faded from her attractive face—wasn't this the Ice Maiden Clan's patriarch, Huang Bingbing?

Tang San, of course, hadn't truly harmed her. The target of that hammer strike wasn't Huang Bingbing, but the ground beside her. Huang Bingbing was blown away by the tremendous shockwave rather than being struck by the hammer.

But at this moment, the fear in her heart was extremely intense. Although she had only been affected by the shock, she could clearly sense how terrifying the might of that hammer strike was. If it had landed on her, the consequences would've been unthinkable.

"You've won," Huang Bingbing said with some difficulty.

"The patriarch is too kind," Tang San said, his Earth Shattering Hammer already put away, his gaze calmly on her.

Taking a deep breath, Huang Bingbing said, "I will keep my promise and will also push forward your proposal."

"Good. So, shall we go back to the hotel, or shall we do it here?" Tang San was referring to enhancing Wu Bingji's bloodline at the Ice Sealed Throne.

"Let's do it here," Huang Bingbing said, "I need to return to my clan as soon as possible. Once it's done, I'll leave immediately."

"Alright," Tang San nodded.

By this time, Wu Bingji had already run over, seeing Huang Bingbing unharmed. He had a complicated expression on his face, not knowing why, but he felt as if Tang San was the true senior brother.

Tang San looked at Wu Bingji and said, "Senior brother, you go with the patriarch, I'll wait here for you." As he spoke, he simply sat down cross-legged on the spot, showing no concern for Huang Bingbing's presence at his side.

Huang Bingbing looked at him intently and asked, "Can you tell me what that hammer strike was called?"

Tang San said indifferently, "To contain the great within the small, the Big Xumi Hammer!"

"A good name, Big Xumi Hammer. Come with me," Huang Bingbing said to Wu Bingji, and while speaking, turned and walked toward the forest nearby. Searᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Wu Bingji looked at Tang San, and upon seeing him nod, followed Huang Bingbing.
