Chapter 2003 - 1523: The Holy Dynasty Pillar Like a Stray Dog!

Bang! The ground shuddered violently, a ring of dust rippled out, and a spray of fresh blood splattered onto the floor.

"He’s injured."

Not far away, the people of the several Four Top Families all showed delight, staring at Jiang Dali whose arm had been torn open. Yet in the next instant, their gazes all tightened.

"You actually... made me feel a little pain."

Jiang Dali smiled faintly, rising from his half?crouched State. The terrifying wounds torn open along his arm were already healing rapidly, those madly entangled, wriggling flesh buds enough to make one’s heart quail, and the Will power from Ling Yun permeating his cells was swiftly purged.

"So this is your Hell’s Radiant Earth Store Body?"

Jiang Dali’s gaze locked onto Ling Yun, whose appearance had already undergone a drastic change.

From his chest to his back, even at the joints of all four limbs, sharp scarlet bone spurs had sprouted.

His entire Body had bulked up to more than three times its original size, his height increased by five chi; his whole body, including his face, was covered in ferocious, scarlet muscles like red?hot rock, radiating surging high heat and power fluctuations. Both hands and feet had become sharp crimson claws.

This form truly was terrifying.

"You actually know this Body Refining Martial Arts I created myself."

Ling Yun’s expression congealed, then he caught the mocking smile in Jiang Dali’s eyes. His heart flared with anger, his Will suddenly condensed, the air around them solidified in an instant. Almost at the same time, his figure shot forward at high speed, his Body beginning to emit astonishing blazing Energy, the distance between him and Jiang Dali closing in a heartbeat.

"Bright Sun Sky Light..."

"Bright Sun my ass!"

Jiang Dali, well aware of Ling Yun’s trump card, cursed furiously, abruptly gathering and unleashing the Qi Fortune Power that stemmed from the Emperor. His Momentum and inner strength within his Body surged explosively; blocks of muscle radiating black, white, and gold instantly bulged up again, veins standing out.

The Illusion Soul Gold Fist rapidly condensed once more into a barrier whose defense was powerful, like a Turtle Shell.

Boom!——

Blazing light?heat Energy erupted the instant the two touched. The barrier condensed by the Illusion Soul shattered yet again, but Jiang Dali’s Body, under the blessing of Yellow Emperor’s Luck, had its mass rapidly boosted, in an instant breaking past ten tons. Not only did his defensive power soar, every punch and kick unleashed a terrifying, shocking force.

The two traded punches and kicks, every blow slamming into flesh as they battled while moving at high speed. Waves of shocking blast ripples spread out in circular shock?waves of Qi Force, densely exploding in all directions with their clash point as the center.

The Four Top Families’ Returning to Truth Realm level?9 experts who had originally intended to join the fray had only just approached the battlefield when the spread of Qi Force shockwaves churned their Qi-Blood. To move any closer would be extremely dangerous, and they all hesitated at once. Shocked to the core, they could only stay close and watch for an opening, not daring to strike rashly.

From this, the disparity between a Holy Dynasty Pillar Level powerhouse and an ordinary Returning to Truth Realm level?9 became crystal clear.

An ordinary Returning to Truth Realm level?9 expert, even if at the same Realm as Jiang Dali and Ling Yun, under the combined blessing of secret skill and Qi Fortune Power on the two of them, even the Family Heads of the Xu and Sha families were roughly three times weaker in sheer power. Only by patiently waiting for an opportunity and charging up a single blow might they manage to injure one of the two, but if they rushed in and took a direct punch from Jiang Dali, the outcome would likely be grievous injury.

Only Dugu Qiubai, who had withdrawn to a distance, could look them in the eye and intervene in this earth?shattering battle. Yet his palm tightened and loosened on his sword hilt; in the end, his eyes flickered, and he gave up this best chance to defeat Marquis Wei Wu, Jiang Dali.

"This guy... who knows where he obtained such Qi Fortune. Truly exciting. However, the power of Qi Fortune doesn’t interest me... it’s not pure."

Dugu Qiubai felt both excitement and recognition within, yet also regret, and he did not Choose to directly intervene in this fight.

Indeed, Jiang Dali, now wielding Qi Fortune Power, was displaying battle strength as terrifying as in that fight at Sky last time, posing an immense threat to him. This was the best chance to join forces with Ling Yun and eliminate their foe.

But he was Dugu Qiubai!

Precisely because he was Dugu Qiubai, he would rather not strike at this perfect moment!

Call him foolish if you will, rigid and inflexible if you must—this was his Sword Dao!

Rumble rumble!——!

Bursts of savage booming collisions erupted within the Emperor’s Treasure Vault.

Under the blessing of Yellow Emperor’s Luck, Jiang Dali’s Body mass and Weight grew ever more immense, reaching a terrifying twelve tons. Every punch and kick he threw generated kinetic Energy comparable to a micro?nuke yield, blasting out blazing pillars of flame, driving Ling Yun back step by step, leaving him shocked and dazed.

Wherever the two passed, the buildings within the Emperor’s Treasure Vault collapsed one after another, smoke and dust roiling outward in violent waves, drawing stunned looks from afar.

Then, with a towering crash—

A tall building was directly blasted through. The dust had yet to reach the two before it was swept away and scattered by the shockwaves of Qi Force wrapped around their bodies as they streaked past.

Bang?thud!!——

The stone tiles underfoot split and exploded, clods of earth spraying out like bullets and arrows, gouging long furrows.

"Ugh—aaaah—"

Ling Yun’s entire Body shuddered violently, his clothes scraping against the ground and catching fire, his skeleton nearly coming apart.

He was being crushed and pinned to the floor by Jiang Dali’s powerful arms, his facial muscles twitching wildly as his skin and muscle membrane were torn by Qi Force. His skull smashed crazily against the stone tiles; strands of hair flew through the air, his scalp ripped open, blood spurting. He tried to resist, but even with the blessing of Holy Dynasty Fate, he still couldn’t withstand the mountain?like Weight pressing down on him, that colossal force as if Taishan Pressing descending from above.
