Hearing the cry for help, Fang Hai froze. The Vajra Elder’s expression changed drastically. What’s going on? Could the Stone Race be in danger? How is that possible!

He had just boasted that no matter who came, their Stone Race could suppress them all, but he was unexpectedly slapped in the face a moment later.

The Vajra Elder’s expression turned grim as he rushed over. He had to see for himself who this enemy was that could defeat their Netherworld Stone Race.

Fang Hai quickly followed. When the two emerged outside, they found a bloody rain falling from the sky and over a dozen corpses strewn across the ground—some from the Fang family, others from the Netherworld Stone Race.

Fang Hai’s eyes instantly turned red. The Vajra Elder roared in rage. Not only had their Netherworld Stone Race been defeated, but their members had been killed! How could this be? Damn it, who did this?

Soon, their eyes locked onto a single figure—a young man. Could this be the enemy? The Vajra Elder radiated killing intent.

However, Fang Hai, standing beside him, was taken aback. He frowned and said, "No, that’s not right. This kid is only a nine-star Martial General. He couldn’t possibly have killed so many five-star Grandmasters."

"He can’t be the one who did this. There must be someone else," Fang Hai said, his gaze sweeping the surroundings. "It seems more than one enemy came."

After seeing Lin Xuan’s cultivation level, the Vajra Elder also dismissed him. In his eyes, this guy was just an ant. Someone like that couldn’t possibly have killed members of their Stone Race. They scanned the area, but after a full sweep, they couldn’t find anyone else.

The Vajra Elder roared, "You dare attack my Stone Race, but you don’t dare show yourself? You coward! Get out here!"

Fang Hai’s expression was also ugly. Has the enemy already escaped? Damn it! He was about to go mad with rage.

The other Grandmasters, however, were bewildered. What are the two elders roaring about? The man is right in front of them!

Lin Xuan, who was standing ahead, also stopped. He looked at Fang Hai and the Vajra Elder, noting that both were top-tier five-star Grandmasters. "You two must be the elders of the Fang family and the Stone Race," he said. "If I defeat you both, I should be able to get the Earth Dragon Pearl, right?"

"You’re here for the Dragon Pearl!" Fang Hai’s expression changed drastically. The existence of the Dragon Pearl was an utmost secret. Besides them and the Netherworld Stone Race, absolutely no one else was supposed to know. In fact, most members of the Fang family were unaware of it. How did this kid find out?

The Vajra Elder roared even more furiously, "Someone like you dares to covet the Earth Dragon Pearl? You’re courting death! Now, get the expert backing you to show themself!"

The expert backing me? Lin Xuan was startled for a moment, then said coldly, "I alone am more than enough to deal with you."

The Vajra Elder was about to lose his mind. He had never met someone so brazenly arrogant.

However, the experts from the Stone Race cried out, "Vajra Elder, what are you waiting for? Kill this kid!" "It was him! He killed our clansmen!"

What? The Vajra Elder was dumbstruck.

Fang Hai frowned. "What nonsense are you spouting? He’s just a nine-star Martial General. How could he possibly defeat your Stone Race?"

"It’s true," a member of the Fang family added. "This kid is monstrously powerful. He killed over a dozen of our family’s Grandmasters."

What? Fang Hai was stunned. The enemy... is really this kid in front of me? How is that possible? He couldn’t believe it. But judging by everyone else’s expressions, it didn’t seem like they were lying. Could he really have done it? Fang Hai was utterly dumbfounded.

He had never seen someone so monstrously talented.

The Vajra Elder’s expression also grew solemn. He hadn’t expected that it was truly this young man before him who had done it. It was simply unbelievable. I will not let him get away with this!

He stepped forward and said coldly, "Kid, I don’t care who you are. You dared to kill members of my Stone Race, so you will die without a doubt. Kneel on the ground and surrender now. If you do, I can grant you a quick death."

"You? You’re not worthy," Lin Xuan sneered, glancing at him with disdain.

The Vajra Elder was driven mad with rage. The kid didn’t even take him seriously. How outrageous!

"Alright, kid, you’re certainly arrogant," the Vajra Elder said. "Since you’re courting death, I’ll grant your wish."

The Vajra Elder stepped forward, preparing to act personally. He said coldly, "I advise you to use your strongest attack, because you will only get one chance to strike. I will not give you a second one."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan laughed. "To deal with you, one move is all I need."

What? His words stunned everyone present. This kid was far too arrogant. He actually showed no regard for the Vajra Elder! How incredibly insolent!

The members of the Stone Race roared, "Foolish kid, you have no idea how powerful the Vajra Elder is! He has cultivated the Vajra Body. That’s a Physique with unrivaled defense! No matter how strong you are, you’ll never break through the Vajra Elder’s defense."

"Exactly! Who do you think you are?"

"You want to defeat the Vajra Elder? Dream on!"

The Vajra Elder stepped forward and said coldly, "I’d like to see just how you plan to defeat me in a single strike."

With that, he let out a roar that shook the heavens. Golden patterns materialized on his body, connecting into a seamless layer. From a distance, it looked as if he had donned a suit of golden Battle Armor.

RUMBLE!

The earth began to shake violently, cracks spiderwebbing across its surface. The sky itself seemed to groan under the strain, unable to bear the force.

The members of the Fang family were thrown back, their blood and energy roiling within them. What a powerful Physique! So this is the Vajra Body! For many of them, this was the first time they had ever seen the Vajra Elder in action.

Fang Hai, who had been worried, now breathed a sigh of relief. The legendary Vajra Body was truly as terrifying as the stories claimed.

When Fang Qingyu saw this, her face turned pale. She was so frantic she was on the verge of tears.

A Grandmaster beside her said, "Qingyu, why are you crying? There’s nothing to be afraid of. That kid is guaranteed to lose."

Fang Qingyu wanted to scream out a warning to Lin Xuan, to tell him to run if he couldn’t win and find another chance later. But before she could make a sound, the Vajra Elder roared again, and the golden light radiating from his body erupted with even greater intensity.

His body suddenly doubled in size, and he seemed to transform into a towering golden mountain, standing immovably in place. The sheer force of this power nearly made Fang Qingyu faint, while the others were sent staggering and stumbling.

So this is the true power of the Vajra Body? It’s too strong!

Fang Hai also drew in a sharp breath. Even if I went all out, I probably couldn’t break through that Physique.

After unleashing the true power of his Vajra Body, the Vajra Elder bellowed, "Kid, make your move! I want to see what you’ll use to break through my defense."

The members of the Stone Race sneered. "Give him a hundred chances, and he still won’t be able to break the Vajra Body."

"Defeat the Vajra Body in a single strike? What a joke! Who does he think he is?"

"The only way he could possibly defeat the Vajra Body in one strike is if he had a Divine Sword in his hands."

"But a Divine Sword is the stuff of legends. How could a kid like him possibly possess one?"

"Therefore, it’s impossible for this kid to defeat the Vajra Body!"
