Boom! In the vast expanse of heaven and earth, a giant hammer shadow trembled, emanating an astonishing aura. The hazy light flickered, and this powerful energy soared into the sky, with an invisible force enveloping Li Dongyu, merging into his body.
At this moment, everyone opened their eyes.
"Impressive, as expected of Li Dongyu, the Young Master. He just arrived at the inheritance site not long ago, and he activated the giant hammer's phantom for the first time. Truly powerful."
"Indeed, did you see that invisible power? As long as the first giant hammer phantom is activated, the grand event will bestow endless power, cleansing the body and helping one break through to the Earth Saint realm."
"It is said that as long as one activates the giant hammer phantom once, there is an eighty percent chance of stepping into the Earth Saint realm. Li Dongyu has only just arrived at the square not long ago and has activated the first one. It seems he is almost certain to break through to the Earth Saint realm soon."
"So enviable! But I wonder how many he can activate in total. The more he activates, the stronger his body will be refined. I heard that activating three phantoms grants one the refining inheritance from the giant hammer phantom."
"There was once a refining master, albeit a Human Level one, from Yuzhou outside of Yanzhou, who happened to pass by here without ever comprehending the giant hammer phantom. Yet, during the grand event, he inadvertently activated three phantoms and later received the inheritance. I heard he established a refining sect in Yuzhou and has become a prominent figure there, capable of forging peak Earth-ranked sacred weapons."
"Hiss, peak Earth-ranked refining master—he could establish an immortal refining sect in Yanzhou, and even Heaven Saint powerhouses would treat him with respect."
As the crowd discussed, their gazes towards Li Dongyu were filled with astonishment. Li Dongyu was indeed formidable; he had just arrived at the square not long ago, yet he was already ahead of the countless others. If someone could activate the giant hammer phantom three times this time, then Li Dongyu would definitely be the one with the most hope.
Sure enough, a gleaming aura surged around Li Dongyu, visibly stronger than before, indicating that his body had undergone a transformation.
Envy.
This was the most direct thought of countless peak Human Saint realm martial artists.
With Li Dongyu's talent, stepping into the Earth Saint realm was not particularly difficult. The Soul Fire family had sufficient resources to elevate him to the Earth Saint realm. But even such a genius, the first to achieve transformation, how could one not feel jealous?
Not surprised.
Many secretly sighed, realizing that there was indeed no fairness in this world.
Some people are born better than you, have greater talent than you, and work harder than you—how can you compete?
As for activating the giant hammer phantom, Li Dongyu merely cast a glance at Ao Qingling's location, and the meaning in his gaze was quite obvious; he was the true number one genius. In his eyes, Ao Qingling's valued Qin Chen was simply insignificant.
Everyone was drawn to Li Dongyu's gaze, looking at the motionless Qin Chen, and couldn't help but shake their heads.
In fact, given the recent popularity of Chen Di Pavilion, many in Cangxuan City still held great hope for Qin Chen, firmly believing he could be one of the first to activate the giant hammer phantom.
But now... they shook their heads, realizing that indeed, there is a difference between geniuses.
Qin Chen had arrived a few days earlier than Li Dongyu, yet it was Li Dongyu who activated the giant hammer phantom first. This back-and-forth made the gap between them evident—vastly different.
Qin Chen, of course, was unaware of the thoughts in everyone's minds. Even if he knew, he wouldn't care, fully immersed in his comprehension.
"Buzz!"
At this moment, the giant hammer phantom lit up once more, a thick light flickered, and at the same time, an invisible deep power descended once again.
