Chapter 349: Chapter 135: Black Sky

"Slash!"

A Limit-Breaking strike slashed out.

At Fang Rui’s current Realm in the Sword Path, unless it was an Innate Supreme Treasure or a Super Grade Secret Treasure, it made almost no difference whether he wielded a weapon.

He had mastered them all—the Celestial Blade, the Mysteries of the Bladeless.

CRACKLE!

With a sound like tearing silk, the various vistas of the Immortal Family in this Alternate Space shattered like a mirage. The black-red river of blood was cleaved in two, and White Bone Mountain split down the middle. In the next instant, the attack landed on Bao Sichun.

CRUNCH!

The strike pierced through Bao Sichun’s body and the deceitful aspect behind him in one swift thrust.

Not only did his bizarre body disintegrate, but the massive, three-hundred-foot-tall Deceitful Immortal Dharma Aspect behind him also shattered like glass. The visual impact was as stunning as a city-wide cascade of collapsing dominoes.

"That easy?!"

Fang Rui frowned, then his eyes narrowed as he looked down at his feet.

RUMBLE!

The earth cracked open. Fleshy mud and bloody soil roiled as a mountain of flesh bulged upward from below.

No, that was no mountain of flesh. It was... a colossal giant of flesh and blood, a massive three hundred feet tall, its head touching the heavens!

Its face was a fifty or sixty percent match for Bao Sichun’s, and its entire body was composed of blackish-red fleshy mud and bloody soil. Billowing black qi turned into flowing pus and blood.

The fleshy topknots covering its head were, in fact, human heads—shouting, roaring, and shrieking.

Its arms seemed to be covered in countless writhing tentacles, but upon closer inspection, one could see they were frantically waving human arms—as if pleading for help, struggling, or trying to pull someone under.

Yes, compared to the legendary three heads and six arms, this was a creature of a thousand heads and ten thousand arms!

Merely gazing upon ’Bao Sichun’ in this state was enough to trigger a violent mental assault, as if something were traveling along one’s line of sight to contaminate them.

"ROAR!"

The flesh-and-blood giant simply pushed upward as it appeared.

Fang Rui was sent flying like a gnat by the resulting shockwave.

’What I just killed was only a phantom. This flesh-and-blood giant is Bao Sichun’s true form! The madman actually abandoned his Half-Immortal Dharma Aspect to extend his life. He devoured and fused with living beings, turning himself into this monstrosity that’s neither human nor ghost!’

The realization dawned on him.

"Martial Arts Saint Body, manifest!"

High in the sky, Fang Rui manifested his Martial Arts Saint Body, but it was only a little over two hundred feet tall. ’Such powerful suppression! Being here is like fighting against this entire Alternate Space!’

That’s right. His Martial Arts Saint Body, originally a full three hundred feet tall, had been suppressed by this Alternate Space until it was now barely over two hundred feet!

Even so, its presence still caused the surrounding air to hiss and hum relentlessly.

"Bao Sichun, have you ever heard of a Palm Technique that descends from the heavens?!"

High in the sky, Fang Rui flipped upside down and began to plummet. His Martial Arts Saint Body erupted with explosive, cyan-jade Spiritual Essence, and a dense Spiritual Light wreathed his form.

He looked just like a giant, cyan sun!

As he plummeted, a palm as vast as the Buddha’s own took shape and pressed down.

Building power! Building power! And building even more power!

Accelerating! Accelerating! And accelerating again!

This divine palm, descending from the heavens, created intense friction with the air, producing a shower of sparks. It looked as if it were on fire, a truly dazzling sight.

BOOM!

It was unstoppable!

The flesh-and-blood giant Bao Sichun had become couldn’t slow the palm in the slightest before being crushed into a meat paste.

This palm, carrying endless explosive Spiritual Essence, enhanced by layers of Magic, and charged with continuously building power, annihilated the flesh-and-blood giant. It slammed viciously into the ground, causing the world to shake and vast cracks to appear.

For a moment, the entire Alternate Space seemed to buzz and tremble.

’Is it over?! An attack like that would have been certain death for any other Super Grade existence.’

After such an earth-shattering palm strike, Fang Rui righted himself and drifted back like a feather. He hovered in midair, fully integrated with his Martial Arts Saint Body.

GLUG GLUG GLUG!

On the ground, in a massive, palm-print-shaped lake, the crushed flesh and blood bubbled and churned. It began to rise, reinflating like a balloon to once again become the flesh-and-blood giant.

It appeared to have taken almost no damage.

’Hm?! Such powerful life force! Is this bizarre state highly resistant to energy attacks? Then... let’s meet force with force!’

With a flash in his eyes, multicolored Spiritual Lights flared up around Fang Rui’s Martial Arts Saint Body, forming various enhancements that made him look like a Divine Being.

"Die!"

He shot forward, and with a sonic boom, appeared before ’Bao Sichun’ in the next instant. He threw a punch.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Amid a sound like rolling thunder, two massive shadows, too fast for the naked eye to follow, collided again and again. Everywhere they passed, the ground of fleshy mud and bloody soil exploded as if hit by a dense barrage of high-yield bombs.

If anyone had been able to see clearly, they would have discovered fine black cracks constantly appearing in the space around the two combatants.

Shockingly, the residual energy from their clash was threatening to tear this Alternate Space apart.

「About ten minutes later.」

BANG!

With a world-shaking bang, the two combatants shot apart. At the center point of their clash, a black hole the size of a human head appeared and then vanished.

’Bao Sichun’ crashed to the ground like a cannonball.

Fang Rui, still in the form of his Martial Arts Saint Body, landed on one knee. He clutched a massive, pus-leaking arm in his right hand, and a surge of Spiritual Essence from his palm ground it into dust.

Clearly, the latter had gained the upper hand!

But at this moment, his heart was filled with relief. ’That was close. If I hadn’t advanced on the Spirit Master path, I would have been the one injured in that exchange. No wonder my first Divination result was ’minor misfortune.’’

This made sense.

This was Bao Sichun’s home ground, where he was greatly empowered and incredibly formidable. Fang Rui, on the other hand, was suppressed.
