Novel Full Chapter 480 - Intangible
Hirko's body trembled as it enlarged and shrunk simultaneously due to One with the Law's power. His muscles, bones, and even inner organs underwent a massive increase in density, resilience, and the amount of energy they could channel.
As his laws fused with his flesh, golden patterns that released a sharp wind force appeared in his skin, generating cataclysms gales around his figure.
The Titan trained the Law of Wind, Law of Gold, and Law of Sharpness. Each of them was very powerful, and while gold lacked the versatility of earth, its defensive power was extraordinarily high.
Of the three, the most developed was the Law of Sharpness, which neared the Half Completion level. If sharpness reaches the limit, then every movement of your body could easily cut stars, moon, and even suns in half. Only a fool would underestimate its power.
Hirko's power-ups did not end there as his spine began to protrude. A painful expression appeared in the Titan's face when each vertebra began to throb, filling the blood vessels with dark plasma.
It was like hundreds of dark snakes moved beneath Hirko's skin, and things grew more potent when the Titan unleashed his Bloodline Inborn Rune.
The dark plasma saturated every cell in Hirko's body, making his skin adopt a chromatic color. The change did not limit to the exterior, as his insides also changed, enhancing, even more, the Titan already monstrous defenses.
Dean's eyes narrowed, and his expression grew serious when he saw the changes in Hirko's body. He recognized the Path Technique the Titan used to train his physique.
Its name was Impervious Mantle, one of the best techniques in the Titan Race. The difficulty and demand on talent to train it were astronomical, but the defenses it granted were exceptional, and it seemed Hirko's bloodline was able to magnify it.
Tksar smiled when he saw Dean's reaction and focused back on the battle.
'Thanks to his bloodline, Hirko reached the third level of the Impervious Mantle before reaching Rank 6. With the help of the Bloodline Inborn Rune, his defenses got so high that even Early Hollow Sun Domain Demon Lord would find it hard to damage him.'
Hirko displayed a bloodthirsty smile while his power grew, and his eyes burned with killing intent as he focused on Ezequiel.
The Supreme Neo-Demon did not show even the slightest hint of fear as he stared back at his opponent and unleashed the full might of his True Soul and True Doomsday Body.
Strength, Inner Force, Space, Time, Lightning, Wind, Fire, Earth, and Water. All those laws fused with Ezequiel's body, enhancing every aspect of his existence.
Ezequiel's skin became white as Primordial Entropy Lightning permeated his body, and above his heart, a black hole for natural energy, Origin Power, and World Strength manifested itself.
Next, bone armor coated both of the Supreme Neo-Demon's arms as their bone and muscle density grew by a factor of six each. Two more faces appeared in his head, with white eyes capable of piercing into the Flawed Universe, and his consciousness grew immensely, enhancing his speed of thought.
Lightning with a black edge blasted out of Ezequiel's body, enhancing his defenses and granting Terminus Force to his attacks.
It was not hard for the geniuses to figure out the nature of Ezequiel's rune since its quality could compare with a Bloodline Inborn Rune.
Tksar frowned when he saw the power of Vajra Terminus Body. 'An Animax Soul Rune, and it should be at Rank 6. How did he obtain such a powerful and special rune?'
Even for powerful races with Primarchs, the Ultimate Rune Path was obscure and incredibly hard to develop. Animax Soul Runes were taken as a very valuable and sought cultivation resource.
Hirko's also noticed the might of the black-edged lightning and how it greatly enhanced Ezequiel's offensive and defensive power. Still, that only made the killing intent in his heart grew decisive.
They finished their power-ups around the same time, and none of them hesitated before flashing forward, unleashing all their power.
The Titan and Supreme Neo-Demon clash generated a blast of chaotic and dangerous energy that covered thousands of kilometers.
Ezequiel's right fist connected directly against Hirko's, and although he did not show it, the Supreme Neo-Demon understood his opponent was much more powerful than him.
Now that Hirko was able to unleash all the power of his Sacred Body of Laws, Peak Rank 5 True Soul, and body training Path Technique, his strength reached the Peak Hollow Sun Domain Stage!
After his training in the Atlantean Race's world and improved Vajra Terminus Body Animax Soul Rune, Ezequiel's power only got near the Middle Hollow Sun Domain Stage.
The difference between the power of someone at the Middle and Late Hollow Sun Domain Stage could easily reach a factor of three, and the difference only grew along with the cultivation level.
Fighting a more powerful opponent was nothing new to the Supreme Neo-Demon. The fighting intent inside his heart only grew stronger as he used his speed and martial skill to the limits, forcing them to rise higher!
As their fists pulled apart, the duo immediately engaged in a vicious melee battle.
A punch that seemed capable of pulverizing a star shot toward Ezequiel's head, but the Supreme Neo-Demon was able to dodge it in the last second and then unleash a devastating blow toward Hirko's right ribs.
Hirko's face twitched as he felt a devastating power trying to pierce his defenses and annihilate everything in its path. The damage received would have been important if it wasn't for Impervious Mantle protecting him.
The Titan resisted the pain, and his body rotated, generating a massive momentum that he charged into his leg to strike his enemy.
Ezequiel used his left arm to block the strike, and although his bones trembled, he managed to keep his position and land a direct blow to Hirko's solar plexus.
Both Ezequiel and Hirko's battle styles focused on using powerful energy and destructive laws alongside their bodies to unleash a devastating might.
Their arms and legs moved faster and faster, and soon it reached the point that dimensionless Rank 6 life forms would be incapable of responding to them.
Ezequiel was able to land twice the number of blows his opponent did, but the damage he did was not enough, and every attack of Hirko did considerable damage.
Despite that, the fight maintained itself in slightly even ground with no way of knowing who the victor would be any time soon until the Titan decided to trigger his trump card.
Hirko's eyes glowed with purple light, and the next instant, phantasmagoric faces emerged in his body. Each of them unleashed a wicked and ancient aura whose nature was above the Prima Universe's laws!
Ezequiel's instincts were superb, so despite his enemy growing faster and stronger, he managed to make a cross with both of his arms and put them in the path of the punch aiming at his chest.
Unfortunately, to the Supreme Neo-Demon's shock, Hirko's fist ignored his guard. The entire arm became intangible, allowing it to pass through Ezequiel's flesh.
To make things worse, after surpassing the blockade, part of the arm remained intangible while the fist regained its physical nature and landed right above the Supreme Neo-Demon's hearts!
