Chapter 89: True Fire Giant Palm
Taking a deep breath, Su Zhan stood up from the ground.
After nearly ten days of arduous cultivation, Firestar Sword Technique had reached the pinnacle, and his Limitless Stellar Body had also reached the level of small achievement!
The rapid progress he had made was not only due to his Sun and Star Divine Body and his innate talent, but also the tempering from the Sacred Pool of the Flower Moon Kingdom and reaching the Origin Elixir realm in his cultivation, which were key elements. With the improvement of his cultivation, it became easier for him to cultivate his martial arts techniques.
The miniature Spirit Gathering Pearl in his hand was stored in his storage space, and a speck of starlight flew out from Su Zhan's brow. The Great Sun Star Sword revolved around him, flying up and down.
As his cultivation improved and the time spent nurturing in his sea of conciousness increased, the Great Sun Star Sword became more and more spiritual. Even now, the it had a simple self-awareness.
Of course, its power had also become stronger! Su Zhan's gaze fell upon the Great Sun Star Sword, and he smiled faintly as he walked towards the entrance of the cave. "Let's go, follow me to kill."
As these words sounded, the Great Sun Star Sword hummed and the starlight surged, seemingly excited.
Just as Su Zhan arrived outside the cave, his gaze directly met Li Qingyang's.
Li Qingyang also keenly sensed it and met Su Zhan's eyes.
"Such a young Origin Elixir realm cultivator, such a powerful lifesource weapon, you must be Su Zhan?" As Li Qingyang's voice resounded, countless people turned their attention to White Cloud Peak.
Although they couldn't see Su Zhan's figure, they anxiously stared at White Cloud Peak, specifically the location of Peak Seventeen.
"Are you from the Clear Sun Kingdom?" Su Zhan stood on the Divine Wind Boat, appearing in the sky a thousand meters away from Li Qingyang, faintly blocking Qin Jincheng behind him.
"Su Zhan! Why, why did you show yourself? You know—"
"I know." Su Zhan glanced at the anxious Qin Jincheng and shook his head. "So, if I hide and don't come out, he won't find me?"
"Indeed, the perspective of a genius is higher than that of ordinary ants. They know that hiding is futile." Li Qingyang smiled faintly. "Unfortunately, extraordinary ants are still ants. Since you took the initiative to appear, I will give you a dignified chance to die. Take your own life!"
These words shook many people.
Chen Changfeng exclaimed, "Su Zhan, don't listen to his nonsense!"
"Elder Chen, isn't that obvious?!"
Su Zhan looked at Chen Changfeng, who was hovering not far away, with a helpless expression. "Should I just die because someone tells me to? Am I that stupid? By the way…"
He paused midway and his gaze fell on the now angry Li Qingyang. "Did you practice some evil cultivation method that damaged your brain? We haven't even fought yet, and you're telling me to take my own life? Why don't you ask me to abolish my cultivation and fight you instead? You really have no shame!"
"You!" Li Qingyang was furious, and green light surged in his eyes.
"Since achieving the Fish-Dragon Realm, no one has dared to speak to me like this for hundreds of years, you—"
"Perhaps others pitied you for being an idiot and deliberately said nice things to you?"
"You're seeking death!" Li Qingyang angrily shouted and threw a punch!
This punch had no technique, just pure power that contained True qi.
But the moment this power appeared, a gust of wind immediately swept through the surrounding space! The force of the punch was enough to destroy a mountain peak!
Qin Jincheng's expression changed slightly, and he was about to rush forward to block the attack when he saw the divine lifesource weapon that had been following Su Zhan suddenly flash and directly shot into the punch.
"Boom!"
The force of the punch dissipated!
The Great Sun Star Sword didn't pause and continued forward, aiming at Li Qingyang.
"Get lost!" Li Qingyang waved his sleeve, and a strand of green flame struck the blade of the Great Sun Star Sword.
The sword hummed and returned to Su Zhan's hand.
Li Qingyang narrowed his eyes slightly. "Is that all you've got? Today, I finally came out of seclusion, so I'll give you a chance. Come, show me everything you've got. I'm curious to see where your limits lie."
Su Zhan gripped the Great Sun Star Sword, feeling the information conveyed back to him, giving him a rough estimate of Li Qingyang's strength.
Then, without hesitation, he directly activated the Sun and Star Divine Body! A golden sun appeared. Nightfall enveloped the stars above.
Seeing this scene, many disciples of the Sword Sect were filled with excitement.
"Senior Brother Su has activated his divine body!"
"The divine body… but his opponent is a Fish-Dragon Realm powerhouse. No matter how powerful the divine body is, it can't let a person in the early Origin Elixir Realm fight against a Fish-Dragon Realm, right?"
"That's true…"
They had a glimmer of hope at first, but upon careful consideration, their hopes were shattered. The gap in cultivation realm was simply too vast!
However, soon after when Su Zhan unleashed a dazzling river of starlight with his sword energy, they changed their minds.
In the sky.
The pinnacle level Firestar Sword energy was unleashed from Su Zhan's hand in the divine body state. Terrifying sword intent accompanied the sword energy, instantly forming a river of stars above Li Qingyang!
"Pinnacle level sword intent! And this sword technique…"Li Qingyang's pupils slightly contracted. He didn't dare to be careless and circulated true qi throughout his body, slapping his palm towards the sword energy. A gigantic flame palm, spanning a hundred meters, formed, exuding scorching heat as it swung towards the sword energy.
"That's the True Fire Giant Palm! It's one of Li Qingyang's renowned palm techniques!"
"It is said that before Li Qingyang achieved the Fish-Dragon Realm, he used this palm technique to strike down several half-step Fish-Dragon powerhouses who were well known!"
"Can Su Zhan withstand it?"
Qin Jincheng stood on the main peak hall, his fists clenched. "If Su Zhan is not a match, I will release the sword energy preserved by the successive masters of the Cloud Heaven Sword, including the sword energy left by the founder who was in Fish-Dragon Realm. It can momentarily hinder Li Qingyang! At that time, all of you must do your utmost to protect Su Zhan and let loose the captive demonic beasts, activate the formations, and create chaos. There might be a chance!"
"Sect Master, are you suggesting…" Chen Changfeng was startled as he looked at Qin Jincheng, but he couldn't continue his words.
The Cloud Heaven Sword was the inherited sword of the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect, naturally powerful. But once all the sword energy was released to stop Li Qingyang, Qin Jincheng, who went to confront him, would be facing certain death.
"It hasn't been long since the four of these major powers suffered defeat, and now Li Qingyang is here, immediately wanting to kill Su Zhan. Junior Brother, can't you see it?" Qin Jincheng said with a sudden smile, "Actually, it doesn't have to be this way. Su Zhan hasn't lost yet!"
Although he said that, it was clear to everyone that Qin Jincheng didn't have much hope. Even though he had great faith in Su Zhan's strength, the three words "Fish-Dragon Realm" had been ingrained in him since he started cultivating. He was always told that it was the strongest existence in the Eastern region, undefeatable. Over time, the concept of invincibility became deeply ingrained in him.
Chen Changfeng and the others were also filled with anticipation for Su Zhan's victory, but at the same time, they felt that this hope was too faint.
Among the peaks of the Sword Sect, the top experts of the three major powers who hadn't fled far were also somewhat astonished when they saw the flame palm and a river of sword qi.
"So, that's Su Zhan's sword qi? Truly terrifying! No wonder he killed Yun Hengtian!"
"Even though he is infinitely close to the Fish-Dragon Realm, he is not the Fish-Dragon Realm itself, so it's impossible for him to win!"
"You're right. I never expected that today we would witness the scene of Su Zhan being struck down. It's truly—holy shit!"
Before the Sect master of the Treasure Mountain Sect could finish speaking, he saw what was happening ahead and his face instantly became dumbfounded. He was completely bewildered.
In front of them.
The river of star descended from the sky!
The flame palm dissipated, and Li Qingyang, the Fish-Dragon Realm powerhouse who was invincible in the hearts of everyone, was enveloped by the river of stars and plummeted from the sky!
"Boom!"
His body crashed into a mountain peak, and in the next moment, the several hundred meters tall mountain peak crumbled!
