Chapter 579 - 242: The World-Shocking Punch, The Fourth Stage

A massive crater, over a hundred meters in diameter, was vaporized and melted in an instant!

The terrifying shockwave even triggered violent seismic tremors!

A chill ran down Lin Ye’s spine.

He instantly realized he had made the right choice.

’In my P2 Frenzy state, there’s no way I could have taken that hit!’

’It’s better to switch to P3 myself than be forced into it!’

SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

Three Profound Prisms carved treacherous arcs through the air, stabbing viciously toward Noah’s back.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

However, this time, when the supposedly indestructible Spiritual Artifact struck the layer of dark purple armor on Noah’s body, it only produced a few sparks before being instantly repelled, not even leaving a single white mark!

Noah’s Defense Power had also been boosted to an inconceivable level!

The one second of phasing seemed short, but in a battle of this caliber, it was long enough to decide the outcome.

Since this wasn’t the first time Lin Ye had switched phases in front of Noah, the latter didn’t seem anxious.

He simply waited for the moment Lin Ye would emerge from his phased state.

Thousands of floating units detached from the metal bone wings on his back, instantly forming a Celestial Net of Heaven and Earth that completely sealed the dozens of meters of space around Lin Ye!

The next instant, annihilating death rays capable of melting anything shot toward him in a concentrated barrage from all directions!

At the same time, Noah laughed maniacally and threw a tempestuous barrage of punches at the location of Lin Ye’s ethereal form, moving at a speed completely imperceptible to the naked eye!

Each punch contained the full force of a blow far surpassing his previous combat form!

Each punch sent visible ripples and cracks through space!

The afterimages of his fists and the death rays intertwined, forming an absolute domain of death!

In the distance, Yin Liulan’s fine brows furrowed slightly. With just a light wave of her hand, Qin Feng and the other four vanished from their spot, reappearing the next second in a safe zone on a higher level of the Painful Labyrinth.

She knew perfectly well that in the aftermath of a battle of this level, a mere graze would wound Qin Feng and the others, and a direct touch would mean certain death.

After seeing Qin Feng and the others to safety, Yin Liulan turned her attention back to the center of the battlefield.

’In the heart of that raging tide of death rays and furious punches, Lin Ye...’

’How will you break this impasse?’

Just then, for the first time, a trace of astonishment appeared on Yin Liulan’s perpetually composed face.

She could feel it. From the center of that destructive storm, a terrifying power was awakening from within Lin Ye’s body... a power that moved even her, a power that seemed to hail from the primeval wilderness, transcending all of creation!

BZZZZ—!

The phased form of Lin Ye abruptly solidified!

The very instant he became solid, a layer of archaic bronze color washed over his exposed skin.

Upon that bronze skin, incredibly complex and profound light-gold patterns lit up like living things, flowing and outlining some kind of primal battle pattern that did not belong to this era!

The Ancient Battle Pattern!

Yin Liulan’s pupils contracted sharply. For all her vast knowledge and experience, she had never seen such a divine and extraordinary pattern!

But she was certain it was a fundamental ability that came with a Cultivation Technique of an unimaginably high grade!

At the same time, Lin Ye watched his Life Value on his attribute panel—which had reached a high of ten million after activating Frenzy—suddenly plummet by over nine million, as if a floodgate had been thrown open!

Chaos Battle Body!

His final trump card, and his current strongest form!

Almost at the very instant the transformation was complete, Lin Ye saw his base attributes, which had been doubled by Frenzy, begin to skyrocket in an even more absurd fashion under the enhancement of the Chaos Battle Body!

Three times...

Five times...

Seven times...

Ultimately, the surge stabilized. His attributes were now nearly eighteen times higher than in his normal P1 state!

At this moment, all of Lin Ye’s All Attributes broke through the one million mark!

When Lin Ye’s figure completely solidified, the countless death rays—each powerful enough to instantly melt an A-Class Intelligent Mechanism—struck his body and merely burned his upper-body clothing to ash.

His bronze body, covered in the light-gold Ancient Battle Pattern, was exposed to the air.

The death rays, capable of annihilating anything, struck him and vanished like a clay ox in the sea, failing to even make his skin feel the slightest bit warm.

They couldn’t leave the faintest of marks.

CRACK! CRACK!

Two cringe-inducing sounds of shattering bone cut clearly through the deafening explosions.

The instant Noah’s wildly swinging arms made contact with Lin Ye’s body, they were shattered inch by inch by an unimaginable reactive force, spraying out bone shards mixed with liquid metal!

And Lin Ye remained completely unmoved.

He slowly raised his eyes, and a faint golden, divine light flashed in the depths of his pitch-black pupils.

At this moment, Lin Ye felt something profound.

He finally understood what Zhu Mingyi had meant when he said that this Cultivation Technique, in its ultimate state, was equivalent to "birthing a trace of Divine Blood within the body."

It was a sense of omnipotence... as if he could see through the origin of all things and control all laws of existence.

But Lin Ye knew that this moment of god-like power, bought with over nine million Life Value, was fleeting.

It would last less than twenty seconds.

Once the time was up, he would fall into an unprecedented state of weakness, even feebler than his normal P1 state.

’But it’s enough.’

’I don’t even need twenty seconds.’

’This battle will be over in three seconds.’

Noah’s figure flickered, reappearing a thousand meters away. He stared, shocked and uncertain, at the human who seemed to have been completely reborn.
