As the skeleton broke through the first layer of Soul Waves from Aotian in an instant, Qiu Mingjie suddenly revealed a cold smile.
In Qiu Mingjie's eyes, Aotian's attack was nothing extraordinary.
However, when the second layer of Soul Waves struck, Qiu Mingjie's cold smile instantly froze.
From this attack, Qiu Mingjie clearly felt that the power of this strike was twice as strong as the previous one. Yet it was still shattered by his Eclipsing Spirit Skeleton.
Before Qiu Mingjie could feel pleased, the third layer of Soul Waves followed closely behind. Instantly, Qiu Mingjie's previously bright expression darkened.
From the continuous attacks, Qiu Mingjie also sensed something strange. Each layer of attack was twice as strong as the last, which was the oddity he discovered.
Qiu Mingjie knew that although he still held the upper hand, the situation was not optimistic.
Because he had no idea how many layers Aotian's attacks had. If it continued endlessly, he would surely be the one to lose in the end.
But now Qiu Mingjie had no way out; he had already used all his trump cards. If he still couldn't defeat Aotian, then the inheritance would definitely be beyond his reach, and he might even face a threat to his life.
Thus, a rare sense of tension began to spread within Qiu Mingjie.
At this moment, Xiao Ya and the Xiao Brothers had stopped their attacks, and their opponents did not strike back either.
Everyone nervously watched the battle circles of Aotian and Snow Qincheng. They could see that everyone had started to reveal their true strength, and this clash could very well determine life or death.
If Aotian and Snow Qincheng were to lose, then they would likely have to flee in disgrace. If Aotian and his companion won, they would gain fame in Mystic Spirit Town. But if it ended in a tie, then the final outcome remained uncertain.
Therefore, everyone tacitly halted their actions, eager to see who would ultimately be defeated.
The onlooking martial artists unconsciously held their breath. It was clear to everyone that the battle had reached its final stage; soon enough, there would be a resolution regarding who would win and who would lose.
As everyone looked towards the tall and slender figure not far away, their eyes were filled with astonishment.
No one expected that the kid, who was only at the Innate Fourth Layer, could fight against the top powerhouse of Mystic Spirit Town to such an extent. Moreover, the outcome was still uncertain.
However, regardless of the result, Aotian had already gained immense fame by reaching this level at the Innate Fourth Layer.
As everyone anxiously awaited the final result, a cold and delicate voice rang out, shaking everyone's hearts like a massive stone:
“Feng Moyang, this ends here!”
As soon as the words fell, a surge of icy power erupted from Snow Qincheng like a volcano that had been brewing for a long time.
Instantly, the spread of the Ice Layer on the ground accelerated dramatically. More terrifyingly, wherever the Ice Layer passed, whether it was flowers, grass, trees, or fertile soil, all vitality vanished in an instant.
Feng Moyang's attack towards Snow Qincheng was also instantly covered by a thick layer of Ice Layer, bizarrely suspended in mid-air. Upon closer inspection, one would notice that even the flowing air was covered by a thin layer of frost.
Before Feng Moyang could react in shock, he felt an icy chill capable of freezing the world rushing towards him. In an instant, Feng Moyang's face turned as pale as paper.
A thick layer of Ice Layer completely encased Feng Moyang. His aura grew weaker and weaker within the Ice Layer, as if even his life force was being frozen by Snow Qincheng's Ice Layer.
At that moment, Aotian's deep voice echoed:
“Thirty-Three Layered Waves!”
Immediately after, everyone strangely heard the sound of roaring waves reverberating in their ears.
In the distance, tangible Soul Waves surged with overwhelming power towards the skeleton with a mighty strike.
Soul Power was originally formless and invisible; however, when Aotian unleashed the Thirty-Third Overlapping Wave, the formless Soul Power transformed into waves. One could imagine how majestic and powerful the Thirty-Third Overlapping Wave truly was.
“Boom!”
After the Soul Waves struck the skeleton, it did not shatter like before; instead, cracks began to spread across the skeleton.
The cracks became increasingly dense, ultimately covering the entire skeleton.
Qiu Mingjie looked at the cracks on the skeleton, his face turning pale, with blood seeping from the corners of his mouth. His eyes dimmed, losing the dominating aura he once had in Mystic Spirit Town.
"Break!"
Suddenly, Aotian's cold shout echoed, and a deep sense of despair gradually filled Qiu Mingjie's eyes.
The Soul Waves seemed to be imbued with enough power to obliterate the heavens, completely enveloping the skeleton.
"Boom!"
A loud explosion resonated through the waves, and at that moment, as the explosion sounded, a mouthful of bright red blood gushed from Qiu Mingjie, who staggered backward several steps, his once tidy clothes now in disarray.
Everyone understood that Qiu Mingjie spat out this blood because the skeleton connected to his mind was utterly shattered by Aotian's Soul Waves.
At this point in the battle, the outcome had already been determined.
However, Aotian understood a very simple yet cruel principle—if you cut grass without removing the roots, it will grow back with the spring breeze!
Therefore, Aotian showed no hesitation. After crushing the Eclipsing Spirit Skeleton, the thirty-third Soul Waves surged toward Qiu Mingjie with overwhelming force.
Qiu Mingjie's expression changed drastically; he was severely injured and had no strength left to fight Aotian. Thus, facing this astonishing strike from Aotian, he could only cross his arms to protect his heart, preventing himself from being killed in an instant.
Seeing this, Aotian slowly curled his lips into a cold smile. This Thirty-Third Overlapping Wave was formed using his Soul Power, and naturally, the attack of Soul Power possessed unparalleled lethality against souls...
"Boom!"
Soul Waves struck Qiu Mingjie in an instant, and a deep fear immediately appeared on Qiu Mingjie's face, as if he had witnessed something incredibly unimaginable.
Soon after, his gaze became hollow and lifeless, and his body grew stiff.
On the surface, Qiu Mingjie showed no signs of change, still standing there. However, Aotian knew that at this moment, Qiu Mingjie was as good as dead. His soul had been shattered, and his consciousness erased; he was truly in a state of soul scattering.
It is said that after death, a soul can reincarnate, but if the soul is shattered and consciousness erased, then there is no chance for reincarnation. It is a true non-existence in this world!
Looking at Qiu Mingjie with his vacant eyes, Aotian slowly exhaled a breath of white mist, and his alertness gradually relaxed.
At this moment, Aotian was also filled with shock. The power of Ninety-Nine Overlapping Waves completely exceeded his expectations. If Thirty-Three Layered Waves was this terrifying, how horrifying would it be if all Ninety-Nine Overlapping Waves were unleashed?
It is known that the later waves of Ninety-Nine Overlapping Waves grow increasingly powerful. The Thirty-Third Overlapping Wave likely could not even match one-third of the power of Ninety-Nine Overlapping Waves.
Of course, being able to execute the Thirty-Third Overlapping Wave was already Aotian's final limit. After all, his Soul Power was only at the mid-level of the first stage and could not support him in unleashing the subsequent waves...
