Chen Jie and Du Zundao awakened a colossal Yin Yang Turtle in the magma ice waters, prompting it to spew freezing vapor and lunge ferociously at the chains they clung to, though they narrowly evaded. Enraged, the beast prepared a greater leap to devour them. Tensions boiled over as Du Zundao consumed an elixir to surge into Dragon Realm power and unleashed Ice Soul Divine Tiger Fist against Chen Jie, who countered with Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms—Kanglong Youhui, just as the turtle charged.

Ice Soul Tiger God Fist!

Kanglong Youhui!

Right now, Chen Jie and Du Zundao unleashed their most powerful killing techniques. One swallowed an elixir, forcing his power up to the Dragon Realm.

The other triggered the world's supreme martial art, releasing the Extreme Yang and Extreme Firm strike of Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms, Kanglong Youhui.

Abruptly, a massive frost tiger materialized behind Du Zundao, bellowing skyward as it bore his overwhelming might, lunging straight at Chen Jie. This blow aimed to settle the fight and decide their fates!

Chen Jie held back nothing, instantly firing off the ultimate technique from Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms, Kanglong Youhui.

Kanglong comes from the "The Book of Changes" Line Statements of the Qian Hexagram. It signifies supremacy where excess equals deficiency, foreshadowing regret.

Chen Jie grasped this skill such that deploying the Extreme Firm and Extreme Yang assault demands restraint—never depleting it fully. Kanglong Youhui implies that even in peak firmness and yang, a withdrawal lingers.

As Chen Jie unleashed Kanglong Youhui, a gigantic magma fire dragon instantly appeared behind him.

In the following instant, the fire dragon fiercely assaulted Du Zundao’s frost tiger.

Roar roar roar...

The huge tiger boldly rushed the magma dragon, intent on clinching victory with a single clash.

Dragon roars and tiger cries instantly filled the air, creating a scene of savage intensity.

Both fighters had kindled their True Fire now—it was do or die, no room for mercy.

Moreover, they might get just one shot, thanks to the ancient turtle lurking under the chain bridge.

The old turtle then sprang upward, jaws snapping at the pair on the chain.

Faced with this peril, they poured every ounce of power into their attacks.

Kanglong Youhui clashed with Ice Soul Divine Tiger in a thunderous boom, like fire clashing ice—flames and frost blazed across the sky, the deafening blast resounding through the heavens.

At the same time, the old turtle vaulted high, its horrifying mouth gaping wide to chomp down.

Roar...

Boom!

The magma dragon and Ice Soul Divine Tiger burst apart, vanishing into void. Chen Jie and Du Zundao's exchange yielded no clear winner, yet Du Zundao's elixir boost lingered, allowing him at least three more such blows.

Chen Jie, however, couldn't manage it—his body couldn't handle another Kanglong Youhui.

Clearly, Chen Jie fell short against Du Zundao.

But by chance, right after Du Zundao's full-force punch, he required a brief interval to ready his next one. Short as it was, that pause proved vital.

Chen Jie's Kanglong Youhui differed; regret follows Kanglong, so post Extreme Firm and Extreme Yang, he retained a follow-up strike.

Though not deadly, this follow-up proved decisive here, as it carried zero delay.

Chen Jie then struck lightly, his palm wind mild yet shoving Du Zundao back three paces. Using the recoil, Chen Jie soared ten meters toward the island.

Witnessing this, Du Zundao prepared to summon a second Ice Soul Divine Tiger against Chen Jie.

Out of nowhere, a colossal beast eclipsed the sky, instantly biting at the chain under Chen Jie and Du Zundao.

Roar!

The old turtle clamped down, severing the Zoroastrian Sect's ancient suspension bridge chain—Chen Jie and Du Zundao lay right in its bite's path.

Enraged, Du Zundao unleashed his second Ice Soul Divine Tiger, slamming it hard at the turtle.

Boom!

The attack detonated, but the old turtle emerged unscathed—Du Zundao's hit felt like a mere tickle.

Click!

The chain broke apart; shock drained the color from Du Zundao and Chen Jie's faces as they scrambled back. Du Zundao stood nearer the Ice and Fire World.

Chen Jie's spot was at the bridge's far side, toward the Central Island.

The turtle's fresh bite lay between them; as it severed the chain, both men fled for safety.

Du Zundao summoned his full might, leveraging the chain's swing to vault back into the Ice and Fire World, landing firm on the bank.

Chen Jie had no such fortune—a gap remained to the far shore. He gritted his teeth, seized the chain amid its grinding noise, then swiftly scaled it, reaching the opposite side in a flash.

That is, the lake-heart lotus platform holding the Qiankun Great Method.

Thud!

Just as Chen Jie had pulled himself up, a massive splash echoed through the water. In the very next moment, the Yin Yang circulation's waters burst dozens of meters skyward, ice blending with magma in a dazzling spectacle.

Chen Jie steadied his footing and gazed down, spotting the old turtle gnawing on the chain gripped in its mouth like spicy snacks.

Its eyes scanned the heavens, searching for those two tiny silhouettes, before it resumed chewing with obvious relish.

Chen Jie glanced at the old turtle right then, noticing that Du Zundao across from him was staring at it too, his face etched with profound disgust.

The suspension bridge was destroyed!

Now he and Chen Jie were stranded on opposite sides, with him even farther from the Central Island, making his Dao Heart falter a bit.

Chen Jie took in the sight as well, a derisive grin spreading across his features; he desperately wanted to mock like the plump Dayi Realperson from that famous past-life cartoon "Nezha": "You hit me, come on, hit me~"
