Armipotent

The golden flame palm dragged Alderman’s body down with it to the sea of magma. The magma splashed as the palm hit the surface, and it continued to sink to the bottom. It reached the bottom with a boom as the golden palm slowly dispersed.

Alderman was still standing, but didn’t look in good condition. His chest heaved up and down, grunting, holding the pain all over his body. His body was made of magma, but he could feel the searing pain through the golden flame palm that struck him.

Then his body slowly disintegrated, starting from his leg as he fell on his knees, then his hands. By this time, the sea of magma that had been split by the palm filled the gap back. Alderman maintained his upper half before the magma swallowed him as a whole.

Tang Shaoyang tried to see through the magma, but was surprised that his Chaos Eyes could not penetrate it. He didn’t know what happened in the sea of magma, didn’t know where Alderman was.

The eye above him was still active, but no longer sent the suppression force. There was no killing notification as well. That meant Alderman was still alive, somewhere inside that sea of magma.

His domain clearly weakened the skill, but that Heaven Shattering Palm was not enough to kill Alderman. He expected Alderman’s core to shatter with that attack to cancel out that annoying form so he could Alderman for real. But it seemed his plan failed as well. That meant Alderman didn’t have a core to maintain the fire; there was something else.

There must be something to stop that form, and he needed to find that out. This was truly getting even more annoying than he expected.

’I should get rid of the eye first. That might weaken Alderman.’

Tang Shaoyang looked up, and the eerie crimson eye also stared at him. Chaos Flame blazed in his right hand. He was about to send the Chaos Flame until the eye brightened.

Energy gathered at the eye’s pupil as the eye released a wave of fierce aura. Before he could proceed, the eye shot a five-centimeter beam toward him. The activation was so quick and traveled even faster.

The best he could do was to create a barrier made of Chaos Energy with his right hand. He tried to block the beam with his right hand as he moved to the side slightly. To his surprise, the crimson beam contained a destructive power he never expected.

Not just the beam broke through the barrier made of Chaos Energy. The beam broke the Chaos Shroud, the gauntlet, and the scale. It didn’t stop there as it went through his entire right arm, shattering the bone and burning his flesh inside.

Tang Shaoyang frowned, not expecting such a high destructive power from the eye. Until now, he hadn’t sensed any danger from the eye. Even when it shot the beam, his Absolute Sense was not triggered. That was why he tried to face the beam instead of avoiding it.

It seemed there was something that even his Absolute Sense couldn’t detect. This just convinced him to get rid of the eye first. Even though the eye looked weakened after that one-shot beam, it was still more dangerous than he thought. He didn’t know when that might pierce his head or heart.

That was when his Absolute Sense was triggered, a danger coming from behind him. It was so quick that he felt a force hitting the back of his head, sending him upward as his vision shook.

Then a figure appeared before him. Alderman appeared before him, a bit different. There was this blackish stain that mixed in that magma form. He started to notice that the magma’s color darkened as well.

Alderman’s four hands blurred, then the next, and he felt a great force hit his chest. That was not just one hit, but four hits in the span of less than a second.

He was sent flying down, crashing down into the sea of magma once more. The sea of magma completely neutralized the crashing impact. He could taste his own blood inside his mouth. The punch was packed with great strength to wound him despite his defense. A manic grin formed on his lips; the fight had just started.

A figure emerged in front of him, and Tang Shaoyang quickly used Blink, leaving the magma. The weakened magma could no longer disable skills. He appeared twenty meters above the sea of magma, and his figure blurred, shooting toward the eye.

His Absolute Sense didn’t just pick up where the danger came from, but he also accidentally caught Alderman’s emotion. The former Executive Administrator panicked slightly when he was after the eye.

Of course, Alderman would not let that happen as he appeared before Tang Shaoyang once more with Blink. This time, Tang Shaoyang clashed with the Alderman, exchanging punches. He still used his Heavenly Force to fight Alderman, and the magma hand burst apart. But Alderman regenerated the new hand instantly.

Tang Shaoyang used Blink again right after, trying to pass through the former Executive Administrator. However, he could not shake off the pursuit as Alderman followed with the same Blink.

Their figures disappeared and appeared around the eye. Alderman’s hand would splatter and burst, but he kept up with Tang Shaoyang’s speed. The former Executive Administrator kept blocking Tang Shaoyang from approaching the eye.

The battle intensified as each time their fist clashed, it would create a massive shock wave. The shock wave was enough to create massive turbulence on the sea of magma, just like a storm.

Realizing that he might not be able to go through Alderman, he created hundreds of Chaos Blades around the eye. At that same time, Alderman responded with his magma.

The magma shot up and enveloped the eye completely before the blades could move. By the time the blades shot toward the eye, it was already protected by the magma. It looked ridiculous, more like a meatball made of magma, and his Chaos Blades failed to break through the defense because of how thick the magma was. The Chaos Blades were stuck in the magma.
