Hale made his move, and his momentum wasn't like that of Qin Wushuang and Hao Tianlin before him, where one move would shake the heavens and earth, causing an aura of power to overwhelm the entire Point General Platform.

When Hale acted, it felt quite ordinary, calm and without waves, as if he didn't possess much strength. His enormous fist swung toward Tangyu, shattering the void and forming a black hole. Hale's fist, overwhelmingly powerful, bore down on Tangyu. This punch was akin to the pressure of a celestial dome, terrifying beyond measure, with a strength that reached an astonishing level.

Though it lacked an intimidating momentum, this punch made everyone instinctively feel a heaviness in the celestial dome, as if oppressed by a dreadful force. This feeling made everyone hesitant to underestimate Hale.

Tangyu's brow furrowed as he sensed a terrifying force surging toward him. This power was truly too frightening. It was clearly just a punch, but its might could shatter the Five Mountains, break rivers and mountains. The sheer force was astoundingly formidable, causing a wave of doubt within Tangyu. It didn't resemble any Supreme Immortal Technique; it wasn't Immortal Might, merely pure physical power. How could it be this strong?

However, Tangyu had no time to consider such matters. Faced with this offensive, he could only respond with everything, exerting his own power to the extreme. The Pangu Axe cleaved heavily toward Hale's fist, a vast force descending from the sky, as if intending to split Hale's fist in two.

Boom—

Soon, Hale's iron fist clashed heavily with Tangyu's Pangu Axe, their confrontation unleashing a terrifying tide of energy, a storm of force, accompanied by thunderous symphony. The battle's momentum was indeed substantial. Majestic power poured down like a flood toward Tangyu, pounding relentlessly like mountains falling incessantly.

Though Tangyu's physique was formidable, his defense strong enough, he was nonetheless forced to retreat step by step under this terrible power, his face revealing a hint of discomfort. His hand holding the Pangu Axe slightly trembled, his arm subtly numb, feeling as if his wrist might fracture.

Tangyu's mind was filled with astonishment, his gaze toward Hale becoming more altered: "Such terrifying power completely suppresses me. Moreover, his body's strength seems even more robust than mine. His pair of iron fists can completely overpower my strength. What exactly is this Hale's background? How can he cultivate his body to such a strong degree? Could it be—he also practices Divine Demon Body Refinement? And his realm far exceeds mine, hence such formidable power?"

Tangyu's mind conjured a thought, a possibility he found highly suspect.

Onlookers gasped in astonishment.

"Such dominance, such terrifying strength, purely with physical power? How can it be so strong? Who exactly is this Hale?"

"I don't know; in the previous confrontation, Hale somehow gained the upper hand. At this rate, is it possible for him to defeat Tangyu and seize the title of General Master?"

"Could such a thing really happen? Among the Eight Holy Lands, the Three Ancient Families present today include several Holy Lands and Ancient Family members. Could the General Master be taken by a dark horse? One Tangyu was surprising enough, where does this Hale come from?"

"If it truly happens, that would indeed be interesting."

Xuanyuan Wushang's eyes were fixated on Hale, suddenly uttering a few words: "Divine Demon Body Refinement, it's actually the ancient Divine Demon Body Refinement. Such a physique, such strength, could it be—indeed the descendant of ancient divine demons?"

Upon hearing Xuanyuan Wushang's words, Sun Wukong looked at him with confusion: "Divine Demon Body Refinement, what's that? Ancient Divine Demon?"

Pan Chenyu's brow slightly furrowed, "Isn't the Divine Demon Body Refinement said to have been lost long ago, disappearing into the stream of history after the ancient war, no longer existing? Has it been countless years with no one practicing Divine Demon Body Refinement?"

Xuanyuan Wushang nodded: "Yes, it's said to have been lost long ago. The prevalence of Divine Demon Body Refinement dates back to the early Ancient Times, an extremely distant era, countless billions of years ago, completely beyond our imagination. But in Ancient Times, Divine Demon Body Refinement already waned, declined, gradually replaced by Qi Refinement, which corresponds to our current cultivation practices. Coupled with the great war of that era, the divine demons suffered a crushing defeat, nearly annihilated. Therefore, Divine Demon Body Refinement also vanished with that period into history's stream."

"It's been countless years with no appearance. Of course, perhaps it's just unrecorded. Anyway, the world has almost forgotten Divine Demon Body Refinement. This Hale, purely relying on physical power is frightening, with an incredibly strong physique, making me suspect he's a descendant of divine demons. Ancient divine demons were characteristically burly and majestic. I've always suspected divine demons still exist, and Divine Demon Body Refinement hasn't truly vanished, just hidden, unbeknownst to the world."

"If Harley is truly cultivating Divine Demon Body Refinement, then it proves my suspicions are correct. From what we can see, it's almost certain that Harley is practicing Divine Demon Body Refinement. He doesn't have a trace of a Qi Refining Cultivator's aura."

Pan Chenyu nodded and said, "It's true. From him, you don't feel any Immortal Qi, and when he made a move just now, not a hint of immortal power overflowed—it's entirely physical strength. It seems highly likely that he is a descendant of a Divine Demon."

At this moment, Hao Tianlin's brow was furrowed as well. They could naturally see some of Harley's situations and immediately made similar speculations in their minds.

Tangyu watched Harley, who didn't say much, but continued to charge aggressively. His fist force was earth-shattering, like a mountain crashing down. This supreme power came crashing fearsomely.

Harley continued to be aggressive, and Tangyu could only continue to meet his challenge.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Each punch landed solidly, fiercely, thunderously.

Each clash sounded like midnight thunder. Under such pressuring power from Harley, Tangyu felt somewhat strained. In terms of strength, Harley indeed had the advantage and could overpower Tangyu. Competing in strength puts Qi Refining at a disadvantage. Otherwise, why is it said that in the same realm, a Divine Demon Body Refinement is always more formidable than a Qi Refining Cultivator? Such a head-to-head clash means it's all about the body.

In terms of the body, Tangyu also felt Harley was much stronger than himself. Hence, Tangyu estimated that Harley should be at the later stage of the Third Layer of Divine Demon Body Refinement, equivalent to the Ninth Layer of the Golden Core Realm. As far as Divine Demon Body Refinement goes, it surpasses him by an entire major realm. Therefore, Tangyu naturally felt at a disadvantage.

Just like when Tangyu fought Hao Tianlin earlier, it was because Tangyu had an absolute physical advantage. Therefore, in a head-on confrontation, Hao Tianlin was obviously at a great disadvantage, and there was no need to elaborate on the outcome.

Currently, Tangyu faced the same predicament. Continuing this kind of struggle, Tangyu felt he might lose. The Pangu Nine Axes, Bright Moon Sword Art, Reincarnation Style, and Lei Ming Sword Art all couldn't play a significant role here. Facing Divine Demon Body Refinement isn't like dealing with a Qi Refining Cultivator. Because Harley could completely withstand Tangyu's attacks with his body, Tangyu's fierce assaults had little to leverage. As a result, Tangyu found it difficult, being suppressed.

Their battle had stalemated for dozens of rounds.

Harley suddenly stopped, his eyes lighting up as he looked at Tangyu and said with surging battle intent, "Daoist Tangyu, your strength is indeed formidable. I suspected for a long time that we are of the same kind, and now it truly seems that way. So, I am willing to battle you and to show my full strength in this battle. Now, I will use my strongest technique, the 'Invincible King Fist.' This battle isn't about winning or losing; being able to fight someone on the same path is a blessing. Honestly, this opportunity shouldn't have much appeal to me. What I value more is this fight with you."

Upon hearing Harley's words, Tangyu couldn't help but frown, showing a more serious expression. This means that Harley had not used his full strength earlier. Even without going all out, he had made it difficult for Tangyu. If Harley used his full strength, what terrifying level would that reach? Naturally, this made Tangyu more serious. It seemed that today, he had indeed encountered an extremely formidable opponent. Such an adversary also fired up Tangyu's fighting spirit.

Tangyu also looked at Harley with a glint in his eyes, clenching his fist tighter: "Come on, let's fight. Let me see how powerful your 'Invincible King Fist' really is. Fighting against a master like you is truly an honor for me."

The battle intent surged in both of them, evidently pushing the fight to a climax.

Beneath the platform, Xuanyuan Wushang couldn't help but frown, showing a hint of puzzlement. After some thought, he suddenly realized and said, "I understand now. I finally understand why Tangyu can be so demonic. It turns out that we have always overlooked one issue. Actually, Tangyu is not only a Qi Refining Cultivator but also a Divine Demon Body Refining Cultivator. It's strange because Tangyu is not a descendant of a Divine Demon and should have originally been a Qi Refining Cultivator, so how did he also practice Divine Demon Body Refinement?"

"So strange, truly strange. Even in the earliest times of the Ancient Period, such a character who cultivates both Qi Refining and Divine Demon Body Refinement is rare. Brother Tangyu has managed to advance both paths to this extent, which allows him to stand out with his Divine Skills at the Seventh Level and dominate over others. Indeed, he is formidable. Divine Demon Body Refinement emphasizes combat, generally being more fierce and superior in battles than Qi Refining Cultivators."

"It seems Brother Tangyu does indeed possess many earth-shattering secrets that are unknown, definitely a person of Great Destiny."

Pan Chenyu was utterly astonished.
