The belt itself wasn't the issue. The real problem lay in the purple gemstone inlaid on it. Yi Tianxing could clearly sense the mysterious Dao patterns carved into the gem—each line exuding an overwhelming sense of power. That kind of power could destroy and annihilate everything, tyrannical to the extreme. Among all the gems Yi Tianxing had ever known, only one matched such a description: the legendary Infinity Gems.
And this one—this must be the Power Gem.
With a single thought, Yi Tianxing immediately invoked the power of the Wordless Heavenly Tome, focusing his gaze on the gem.
Power Gem: A heaven-and-earth treasure, one of the Infinity Gems. Grants the wielder limitless strength, immense offensive and defensive power. The body becomes indestructible, and its strength can shatter the void. Possessing it means possessing boundless power.Mystic-grade treasure.
Yellow-grade: Increases strength, attack, and defense by 10 times.
Mystic-grade: Increases by 100 times.
Earth-grade: Increases by 1,000 times.
Heaven-grade: Increases by 10,000 times.
If the user's body cannot withstand the amplified power, it will collapse and disintegrate into nothing.
In just an instant, all information about the gem appeared in his mind.
It truly was an Infinity Gem, and among them, the one representing Power.
However, it was clear this was not the ultimate unbeatable treasure. Though it could dramatically boost strength and defense, it wasn't a Heaven-grade treasure—not one of the mythical Innate Supreme Treasures. It could only be classified as a treasure with immense potential. Initially just Yellow-grade, it would need ritual refinement and nurturing to evolve into Mystic-grade and beyond.
Only the Behemoth King knew how deceptively demanding the Power Gem really was.
To evolve, it needed to devour massive amounts of Faith Power and even Luck. The Dao patterns of power on the gem were refined through this faith energy. But the amount required was absurd.
Even with all the Faith Power gathered by the entire Beast King Court, the Behemoth King had barely elevated it to Mystic-grade, just enough to classify it as a true magical treasure. To advance to Earth-grade, the Faith Power and Luck needed were utterly unimaginable.
Even if the entire fortune and fate of the Beast King Court were offered to it, it would still fall short. The volume of Wish Power and Fortune Energy required was bottomless.
A money pit among money pits.
Still, the Behemoth King believed it was worth it.
Thanks to the Power Gem's amplification, his strength had skyrocketed. His already monstrous body had reached new extremes—nearing the invincible. With it, "one strike to break all techniques" was no longer a mere dream.
Of course, this kind of amplification came with a cost: your body must be able to withstand it.
If not, your flesh and bones would collapse under the massive power surge, ground into pulp, not even ashes remaining. For an ordinary person, even a tenfold increase would be fatal, shattering their body instantly. It was like gravity: if you can handle it, it refines and strengthens your body. But if it surpasses your limits, you're crushed.
The same principle applied to power—without a body strong enough to contain it, everything was an illusion.
The Behemoth King, however, had one of the strongest bodies in existence. As one of the mightiest terrestrial races, he was known across the realm for his physical prowess. He could even wrestle true dragons. His body was nearly indestructible. With time, it could even become undying, capable of regenerating from a single drop of blood.
Currently, his body had already received a tenfold amplification.
And it showed: with a single swipe of his claw, he was shattering divine techniques, crushing spells with raw strength. No mystical power could last in his presence.
What's more, he could still draw on the gem to gain even greater boosts.
Even now, at ten times amplification, the power was terrifying.
"What a Power Gem," Yi Tianxing thought in admiration. "If it were in my hands, I might be able to unleash even greater strength."
He understood that the Infinity Gems in the Eternal World were not exactly the same as those in legends. While still formidable, they couldn't truly destroy worlds. Instead, they represented a Dao path. In this case, Power Gem = Dao of Force.
It was a Dao Origin Treasure.
And in terms of cultivating such a treasure, the Great Yi Dynasty far surpassed the Beast King Court. Eternal Coins could constantly harvest Wish Power, forming Wish Orbs. As for Luck, the more territory they claimed, the faster their fortune grew. Though it would take massive resources to raise such a treasure, the benefits would be immense. After all, supreme treasures helped anchor and stabilize a dynasty's Luck.
"Emperor Yi, come down and fight me!"
"We never settled our score last time. Today, let's end it—decide victory and death! Come forth!!"
The Behemoth King roared furiously, his voice thundering like a golden wave. Wherever the sound passed, earth cracked and mountains crumbled. Even the clouds were torn apart.
"Even with a treasure boosting your strength, this emperor does not fear you."
Yi Tianxing answered calmly, raising the Ten Thousand Talisman Banner.
On it, talismans began to glow.
Lightning Talisman
Golden Thunder Talisman
Wood Thunder Talisman
Water Thunder Talisman
Fire Thunder Talisman
Earth Thunder Talisman
Heaven Thunder Talisman
Thunder Spear Talisman
Seven types of thunder talismans activated in unison. Instantly, they fused into a grand talisman formation, forming a massive war spear wrapped in multicolored lightning. Runes of thunder covered its surface.
This was a divine weapon of the heavens:
Talisman Divine Art — Spear of the Thunder God!!
This spear looked as though it belonged to the Thunder God himself, forged to judge heaven and earth. Thunder, as the embodiment of divine punishment, held a natural suppression over all living things.
The spear was hundreds of meters long, floating in mid-air like a divine judgment.
Boom!!
With the sound of crackling thunder, the Five-Colored Thunder Spear hurled toward the Behemoth King. As it flew, bolts of lightning rained down like an apocalyptic storm.
Had they chosen to fight near either army, the collateral damage would've been catastrophic. Their battle was deliberately taken far from the main battlefield to avoid unnecessary losses.
"Kill!!"
The Behemoth King roared, swiping with his claw. Golden light surged across the sky, trying to engulf the Thunder Spear.
BOOM!!!
With an earth-shaking crash, the claw met the spear.
But this time, unlike before, the Behemoth King's blow did not shatter the spear. Instead, the spear unleashed a hidden power, blasting him backwards. Yes—he was actually forced back.
Even more astonishing, cracks appeared on his golden claw, torn open by the spear's lightning.
At the same time, the spear exploded, splitting into countless mini-thunder spears that pierced toward the Behemoth King.
"Impossible!!"He roared in disbelief. His body shone with golden light, barely managing to halt the spears at the surface of his skin. His flesh was like divine metal—immovable.
"My body is indestructible. With this tenfold boost, even divine weapons can't harm me. How can this be?"
He was shocked. He knew his body better than anyone—his strength could crush his unboosted self with one claw. And yet, he couldn't stop that Thunder God Spear.
"There is no such thing as impossible. A single treasure won't make you invincible. If a technique is powerful enough, no strength can destroy it."
Yi Tianxing's voice was calm.
Though the Power Gem was mighty, it wasn't unmatched. Yi Tianxing possessed the Hongmeng Heavenly Emperor Tower, with small worlds inside it. When invoked, they provided the crushing force of an entire world—more than enough to match sheer physical amplification.
Even the Ten Thousand Talisman Banner could tap into that force. That earlier strike carried the full might of a small world. The spear's power surged to unbelievable levels, forcing back even the tenfold-boosted Behemoth King, injuring him outright.
True power was finally revealed.
"Again!!"
The Behemoth King showed no fear. His body flashed with light once more, swelling as his strength soared again.
