Chapter 353 - Unparalleled God’s Strength
As if he had already formulated a plan, Chen Fan fearlessly stood as the crimson lights darted from all directions.
He resembled an emperor surveying his conquered domain, his gaze fixed on Xue Tianhe. He felt a tingle of excitement as he watched the blood dragons, an amalgamation of the crimson lights, speed toward him. Finally, he countered with the Undefeated King's Fist.
Rumble!
Six arms struck out fiercely, breaking through the air. Each punch could shift mountains and rivers and leave the space shaking. They smashed into the oncoming dragons and reduced them to smithereens.
The guardian elder in the battle palace had told him that in the Divine Strength realm, his physique would be strong enough for him to fight Core Formation realm experts.
The short exchange of moves with Xue Tianhe had proved that those words were a fact.
His qi cultivation wasn’t as boundless as Xue Tianhe, but his physical strength was unparalleled. Faced with Xue Tianhe’s power of golden core and ferocious attacks, he could keep himself from falling into a disadvantage.
“Impressive, truly impressive!”
“We made the right call this time. To shake up a Core Formation realm expert with pure physical strength... Unbelievable! This guy really became a monster after his breakthrough.”
“That’s right. I thought he was exaggerating, but looking back at it now, he was just confident.”
“......”
Xin Wuming and the others have already killed the dozen or so ordinary blood demons. So, they were all watching the battle, regretting ever doubting him.
They did not go forth to help Chen Fan because the resultant ripples from their exchange could severely injure even someone at the ninth level. They simply were not capable of giving him a helping hand.
“Everyone, let’s tend to our injuries first,” Xin Wuming said, sitting cross-legged. He took out a Recovery Elixir and swallowed it.
In this battle, they had almost died.
To buy time for Chen Fan, they had all ignited their primeval force or their illusory core, undoing years of bitter cultivation. Still, they didn’t regret it.
After all, the power they achieved from years of cultivation was not worth mentioning compared to their lives.
They could always rebuild their strength through diligent cultivation as long as they survived. But if they died, all was truly lost. “I’ve truly underestimated you, damn it. I should have killed you at the Foggy Swamp. My foolish hesitation allowed you to grow to this extent. Damn it!”
Xue Tianhe’s expression was horrid. Back when they were in the Foggy Swamp, although Chen Fan still hadn’t been that weak, he was only prey in Xue Tianhe’s eyes.
Yet, due to this fatal miscalculation, Chen Fan seized the opportunity to escape. In such a short period, Chen Fan had grown to a level where he was as strong as Xue Tianhe.
“No amount of words will change the fact that you'll die here today,"
Chen Fan neutralized Xue Tianhe’s attack with his spear and stabbed it out simultaneously. It rushed through space as fast as lightning.
“What boastful words.” Xue Tianhe was furious. He retorted, “That should be my line to you. So what if your physique is stronger now? Your fate won’t change! This time, I won't repeat the same mistake. I will ensure your death!"
Boom, boom, boom...
Their movements seemed to defy time itself, shattering the laws of nature.
One wielded a blood-colored halberd, while the other held an ancient, simple-looking iron spear.
Their sheer force from their exchanges tore through space, painting an apocalyptic scene of crumbling skies and splitting earth, sending terror coursing through the onlookers.
The sky turned gray, and chaos engulfed the entire five-mile radius. The primeval qi in heaven and earth was chaotic beyond recognition. It stormed everywhere, causing explosions in the area.
Although Chen Fan’s cultivation was not in the Core Formation or Illusory Core realm, his flesh contained godly strength. His punch could shake heaven and earth, and a kick could shatter mountains.
The power they wielded had turned the natural order on its head. The sun and moon paled, and the stars seemed to dim.
“Kid, go to hell!” Xue Tianhe was enraged. His primeval force surged, and he infused it into the blood-colored halberd in his hands.
Immediately, bloody light rushed out from his halberd like sharp blades, ripping through space.
He swung his arm, and his halberd flashed. The blood-colored, sharp light immediately spread in all directions. It seemed like the god of war had emerged from the Corpse Mountain Blood Sea wielding a giant halberd and was killing its way toward Chen Fan.
“Blood Ocean Halberd!”
Heaven and earth changed colors at once. The space turned crimson, like an ocean of blood.
Xin Wuming and the others were tending to their injuries about ten miles out. Yet, even they felt how terrifying this halberd of Xue Tianhe was. Their eyes narrowed, and they paused their movements, their minds shaken. They sensed a disastrous power about to descend upon them.
“What a terrifying attack!”
Chen Fan’s pupils shrank slightly, feeling a sense of danger in his heart.
Yet, fear did not appear in his eyes; instead, they hardened with resolve. Behind him, an illusory space-time materialized, revealing ancient wild elephants thundering forth.
“Devastating Thrust!”
Chen Fan’s gaze was incredibly sharp. He focused solely on utilizing the Myriad Elephants Divine Art. His qi and blood surged like an unrelenting waterfall, showcasing an extraordinary spectacle.
Inside him, his flesh and blood gave birth to endless strength and converged together like giant elephants galloping, causing his tendons and bones to cry out in unison.
Following a loud shout, Chen Fan thrust his spear.
“Break!”
In the blink of an eye, their attack collided.
Brilliant light flooded the surroundings as ferocious whirlwinds tore through the air, engulfing the five-mile radius in a maelstrom of chaos and explosive blasts.
Terrifying forces dispersed in all directions, rending the fabric of space. A fierce wind blew out from the pitch-black space, lashing against Chen Fan and Xue Tianhe and generating sparks and metallic clangs. Xin Wuming and the others shuddered in shock at the sight.
The fierce wind in that pitch-black space carried terrifying cutting strength. Even Illusory Core realm experts would be ripped to shreds if they encountered it.
However, Chen Fan and Xue Tianhe ignored the wind.
Chen Fan forcibly resisted it with his tough physique, while the protective primeval force around Xue Tianhe was powerful enough that the fierce wind couldn’t break through it.
Waves of bloody light flickered in Xue Tianhe’s eyes.
In his heart, he felt increasingly gloomy.
The toughness of Chen Fan’s physique far exceeded his imagination.
Chen Fan looked at Xue Tianhe coldly and said indifferently, “Xue Tianhe, today, only death awaits you. Although we’re equally matched right now, how long can your golden core support you? As long as you cannot pierce my flesh, my strength will be endless. I can easily exhaust you to your death.”
Xue Tianhe’s eyes flickered. He took a deep breath and said, “Fine. Since that is the case, I’ll just cut into you!”
“Blood God Halberd, Conquers the Land!”
Xue Tianhe grew taller. He swung his arm. A blood-colored light flashed in space, and in the next moment, he appeared in front of Chen Fan.
A terrifying force descended, suppressing Chen Fan as he tried to kill him in one strike.
Chen Fan’s body shook. Ten thousand elephants cried out in unison.
“Unparalleled God’s Strength!”
He simply stabbed out with his spear.
