Chapter 648: The Sun of the Immortal Path

"The first step in advancing along the Immortal Path begins with the Extreme Tiger."

As Tian Shenggong stepped forward, the colossal puppet behind him unleashed waves of earth-shattering radiance.

"Every step into the future elevates your potential on the Immortal Path."

Fixing his gaze upon Zhang Yu, Tian Shenggong let out a low roar: "Zhang Yu, whether in construction, transport, communication, output, or high temperatures, you have lost in every regard."

"Now, accept your utter defeat."

"Extreme Tiger Overclocking! Activate!"

In the blink of an eye, the power of all Tian Shenggong's magical treasures on the field surged, erupting with two hundred percent efficiency, poised to seal his victory across all five fronts.

Countless fans of the Extreme Tiger, witnessing this spectacle, cheered across every live-streaming platform, their surging comments nearly swallowing the battlefield whole.

Yet at that very moment, Zhang Yu's eyes flashed as lines of Spirit Realm text materialized: "Tian Shenggong, have you not yet realized it?"

"The crux of our battle today has never been about surpassing the other in any single metric."

"For any product, any combat framework, the most critical factor is the capacity for integration, the holistic fusion, rather than a contest of isolated values."

"You and your treasures have focused solely on besting me in individual metrics, never considering the synergy of the whole."

As he spoke, deep rumbles echoed from the bowels of the earth, and the moisture in the air began to rise sharply.

Twenty-four Mountain-Shifting Titans roared in a frenzy as they charged downward.

Zhang Yu watched it all with serene detachment, the text behind him continuing to manifest in that very instant.

"Or perhaps this is simply your habit, the flaw cultivated through your long history of plagiarism and patchwork."

"It allows you to glimpse only the superficial veneer of my various Immortal Path technologies, yet you can never truly assimilate them or weave them into harmonious cooperation."

Meanwhile, accompanied by the frenzied excavation of the Mountain-Shifting Titans, vast tracts of groundwater were unearthed, gushing forth to merge into the torrent controlled by the Azure Water Golden Crystal Armor.

On the other side, driven by the continuous heating of the Heavenly Sun Radiant God, massive plumes of vapor soared into the sky, finally coalescing into dark clouds that unleashed a torrential downpour.

The floodwaters swept across the surface and the depths, instantly transforming both construction sites into a fully submerged environment.

Propelled by the surging waves, Zhang Yu's Mountain-Shifting Titans moved like fish in water, while Tian Shenggong's Unceasing Walkers on the other side were as if caught in a maelstrom, their construction efficiency plummeting.

The long-bred legion of demonic beasts surged into the site along the floodwaters, aiding the Titans and further widening the gap between the two sides.

The clash of Earth-Fiend Gravity was dragged into the water, granting Zhang Yu an even greater environmental advantage, as every strike and maneuver was bolstered by the surging torrent.

In mere moments, as Zhang Yu's various military-grade forces interacted, influenced, and propelled one another, they functioned as a single entity, erupting with even more formidable and unstoppable performance.

Zhang Yu: "Tian Shenggong, it is you who has lost..."

Tian Shenggong: "I have not lost yet!"

Tian Shenggong knew he could not let the situation persist.

He could feel Zhang Yu's various abilities tightly interwoven; as time passed, like a rolling snowball, his opponent's momentum would grow ever stronger, ever more unstoppable.

"I cannot lose, and the Extreme Tiger must never lose."

"I must put a stop to this gathering momentum of his at once."

In this moment, Tian Shenggong resolved to stake everything on a single throw.

The constructing puppets, the transported earth, the surging Spirit Realm signals... all of them drastically waned in the next instant.

"Zhang Yu, you claim my various forces have not become one? You are wrong, gravely and utterly wrong."

"All products of the Immortal Armament University, all products of the Extreme Tiger Group, utilize standardized structures."

"This means their power can seamlessly transfer, propel, and mutually... en!hance!"

In that instant, Tian Shenggong withdrew the power of all his other treasures, channeling it entirely into the colossal puppet, which in turn directed all its force into driving the Dual Polarity Primeval Magnetic Pearls.

The twelve Dual Polarity Primeval Magnetic Pearls burst with blinding radiance, shining like twelve suns to illuminate the entire world.

Simultaneously, waves of visible ripples erupted from the twelve pearls; wherever the ripples passed, the atmosphere warped, mountains crumbled, the earth split, and the floodwaters reversed their course...

To wield such surging power, the meridians throughout Tian Shenggong's body swelled violently, nearly bursting through his skin.

Vast streams of data flowed frantically before his eyes; his brain, consumed by countless calculations and dispatches, began to heat up rapidly, causing the cooling devices across his body to vent plumes of white steam.

"With the heat engine at this stage, all treasures can be driven to their absolute limit."

"Now, converge their power layer upon layer, and unleash the overclocking output unique to the Extreme Tiger!"

"Stacking identical treasures to erupt with ultimate performance that transcends the treasures themselves—this is the philosophy of the Extreme Tiger!"

The twelve Dual Polarity Primeval Magnetic Pearls aligned in a row, and then the light of one pearl was entirely absorbed by the next, which then passed it to the next.

Passing from one to the next, until finally, aside from eleven dimmed and weakened pearls, only one last orb remained in the sky, its brilliance dazzling and its white-hot light piercing the heavens.

"Twenty-fold Overclocking Mode!"

"Zhang Yu, can you withstand this strike?"

With a furious roar, Tian Shenggong pressed down his scorching, crimson body and hurled the Dual Polarity Primeval Magnetic Pearl toward the battlefield like a falling star.

In his heart he roared: "This strike is for the countless students of the world, the countless users of the Extreme Tiger, the countless souls seeking to advance further on the Immortal Path—a strike propelled for the advancement of all under heaven." His eyes entirely obscured by a blinding white light, Tian Shenggong stared fixedly toward Zhang Yu, shouting in his mind: "Zhang Yu! The Dharma Realm! And Kuang Tianqing! The life-extension technology... you shall all be shattered by this very strike."

"The Immortal Path Revolution! Begins here!"

Watching the thunderous descent of the Dual Polarity Primeval Magnetic Pearl, Zhang Yu felt the heart-stopping power within it and could not help but feel a jolt of alarm.

What was the key to defeating the Extreme Tiger, to defeating Tian Shenggong?

Before the battle began, Zhang Yu had asked himself this question time and time again.

Verbal sparring, the sway of public opinion, and dragging the opponent into his own favored arena—Zhang Yu knew these were but elements of this battle.

"The most crucial point: since Tian Shenggong intends to decipher all my moves, I must deliver a strike beyond his wildest imagination."

The Seven Absolutes Dharma Carcass upon Zhang Yu's body suddenly flared to life, mysterious runes forming intricate patterns across his skin with an ethereal glow.

At the same time, waves of searing heat surged within him, venting fiercely through the cooling vents of the Seven Absolutes Dharma Carcass.

This Dharma Carcass, reforged by the seven Nascent Soul masters of the Artifact Refining Department and personally designed by Zhang Yu, pooling his own knowledge and that of the Magnetic Pole, finally operated at full capacity for the very first time.

At that same moment, lines of text materialized behind his head.

"Tian Shenggong, did you not wish to unravel my every move and every technique?"

"Then tell me, can you unravel this one?"

As he spoke, the Heavenly Sun Radiant God had somehow already summoned streams of flame, converging toward the palm of Zhang Yu's hand.

Simultaneously, a gravitational field rose through the Seven Absolutes Dharma Carcass, enveloping the Eternal Sun Radiant Flames pouring forth from the Heavenly Sun Radiant God.

Zhang Yu's words continued to project: "Tian Shenggong, your actions are like those of a copyist trailing behind a master painter."

"No matter how earnest you are, how desperately you strive, or how closely you pursue."

"As long as you cannot escape my shadow, you will forever remain one step behind me."

As he spoke, the flames enveloped by the gravitational field flickered violently, followed by vast torrents of water being swallowed and expelled by the field.

Yet as the water surged in, it did not quell the ferocity of the flames; instead, it further intensified the reaction within.

Zhang Yu understood this was because the flames were no longer merely burning—they were detonating!!

Fusing Zhang Yu's ingenuity from Earth with the pinnacle Nascent Soul immortal arts of True Lord Magnetic Pole, and further linking the military-grade might of the Radiant Sun God and the Azure Water Golden Crystal Armor through the New Seven Absolutes Dharma Remains.

A gravitational field enveloped the immortal flames and waters, triggering a violent reaction under extreme heat and pressure, and the resulting eruption... proved far more astonishing than Zhang Yu had anticipated.

In that very moment, an artificial immortal sun was born in the palm of Zhang Yu's hand.

Sunlight bearing a trace of an otherworldly civilization's radiance illuminated Kunxu for the very first time.

The next instant, all present felt that before this true sun, the Dual Polarity Primeval Magnetic Pearl, once blazing with dazzling brilliance, now appeared utterly dim.

Boom!

As the immortal sun collided with the Dual Polarity Primeval Magnetic Pearl, an incandescent radiance instantly swallowed the entire battlefield.

Under the shocked gazes of countless onlookers, Zhang Yu's immortal sun gradually tore apart and devoured the magnetic pearl, then burned with even greater ferocity.

"What?!" Heavenly Artisan Tian stared at the scene in disbelief, roaring in his mind, "What kind of technique is this? When did Zhang Yu learn such a devastating move?!"

The incandescent light soon engulfed the colossal puppet entirely, bringing with it terrifying heat and a devastating shockwave.

As the radiance converged and gradually dissipated across the arena.

The crowd could only see the heavily battered colossal puppet kneeling on the ground, still tightly shielding Heavenly Artisan Tian within its core.

Mana circuit damage at 67%

External armor damage at 89%

Sensory module sensitivity decreased by 33%

Various parameters of the colossal puppet continuously flashed across Heavenly Artisan Tian's ocular sockets, and the more he read, the more he grasped the sheer terror of that strike's destructive power.

At this moment, he had no strength left to fight.

And the thought of the spirit coins required to repair the colossal puppet made his heart ache all the more.

Yet pondering the repercussions of this defeat left Heavenly Artisan Tian with no leisure to dwell on any other losses.

Zhang Yu stepped forward, pace by pace, until he stood before the colossal puppet.

Watching Heavenly Artisan Tian crawl out from within the puppet, surrounded by billowing white steam of extreme heat, Zhang Yu asked, "Do you wish to continue?"

Heavenly Artisan Tian glared fiercely at Zhang Yu before him and demanded, "Which company exactly invented this immortal killing technique?!"

Zhang Yu smiled faintly and replied, "Why? Looking to plagiarize it again?"

Watching the furious and frustrated Heavenly Artisan Tian retreat from the battlefield, Zhang Yu felt a slight sense of relief in his heart.

That earth-shattering strike just now had also placed an immense burden on his mortal flesh, dharma remains, and magical treasures.

Under the backlash of the immortal sun, his entire body suffered severe wear and tear, and his operating temperature far exceeded normal limits.

"If I were to unleash a second strike, I might just die, wouldn't I?"

"This technique still needs refinement."

Meanwhile, True Lord Anzhen, watching this unfold, was equally astonished in his heart: "If his last bout against the Nine Heavens Gilded Stream was a narrow survival laced with luck, then this fierce battle against Heavenly Artisan Tian can be called a fair and square victory, defeating the opponent head-on."

Immediately after, True Lord Anzhen received a message from the headmaster.

Divine Lord Tianyan: Once it is over, have Zhang Yu come see me
