Chapter 257: Chapter 160: Ultimate Power, A Head-On Physical Clash, The Entire Audience Stunned

"Senior Brother Lin must have been careless just now, which was why he was caught off guard. Now that these three senior brothers and sister are prepared, how could they be suppressed so easily?"

"What an arrogant youth."

Watching this scene, let alone the hundreds of thousands of Beardless Sect disciples, even the Elders standing at the peak of the Elder Immortal Palace couldn’t help but mutter their complaints.

However, in the very next moment, the youth standing with his hands behind his back felt the fluctuations of their three powers. He put on a symbolic show of taking them slightly seriously as a sign of respect.

In a flash, hidden from everyone’s view behind his back, the youth’s right hand slowly rubbed its fingers together before abruptly clenching into a fist at the critical moment.

In the instant the white-clad youth clenched his fist...

BOOM!

Suddenly, an even more terrifying power condensed out of thin air and crashed down from the sky directly above the trio’s heads.

"What?" The three peerless prodigies abruptly looked up. Sensing that power, traces of shock and horror surged in their eyes.

But it was too late. Just as they paled in shock, the sheer force forcibly altered their trajectory.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Three more billowing clouds of dust kicked up across the arena.

Not far from Lin Huai’an, the three were similarly suppressed. It was as if an invisible Five Finger Mountain was firmly pinning them down, making it impossible for them to move even an inch.

Seeing three familiar figures suddenly beside him, Lin Huai’an actually seemed to feel much better, revealing a somewhat relieved expression. His look seemed to say that it was better for everyone to lose face together than for him to be humiliated alone, and that he could accept this disgrace as long as his senior brothers and sister were there to keep him company.

When that scene repeated itself, there were no cries of alarm. There were no voices of doubt. The entire Beardless Sect was left in dead silence. The crowd was completely muted; you could have heard a pin drop.

Even Mu Yunshang and Jun Yichen were utterly stunned at this moment.

However, compared to the rest of the sect, the place experiencing the greatest shock right now was the Beardless Saint Hall.

The moment the white-clad youth mobilized his power for the second time, Master Beardless’s elderly body visibly gave a violent shudder inside the Holy Hall. The shock in his eyes intensified by the second.

Even Master Wugou and Master Wuchen were so startled in that instant that their jaws dropped, looking as if they couldn’t close their mouths.

It took two whole breaths before anyone spoke.

"Limit... the Power of the Limit! That’s right, it’s the Power of the Eternal Limit." Master Wuchen was the first to speak, his voice trembling slightly.

Master Beardless was gasping for air, his eyes filled with a mix of disbelief and wild ecstasy. "A power that breaks the eternal limit! This kid actually possesses a power that can shatter the limit!"

Such power might be completely unfamiliar to Cultivators who had never seen it before, but for ancient monsters like Master Beardless and the other two, who had lived for several millennia, they could spot the clues at a single glance.

To be accompanied by the eternal limit and empowered by a force that broke through its shackles—there was only one possibility for this kind of existence. He had broken through at least one eternal limit.

And anyone capable of breaking an eternal limit was undeniably a terrifying existence beyond imagination.

"The Power of the Limit, it really is the Power of the Limit." Even Master Wuchen, who appeared to be the calmest and carried a scholarly air, began to lose his composure.

No one understood what breaking an eternal limit meant better than experts at their level of cultivation.

This time, the dead silence didn’t pass quickly; the pin-drop quiet lingered for a long time. Looking at the four peerless prodigies firmly suppressed in the center of the arena, the entire Beardless Sect was dumbfounded.

Even the Elders were breathing heavily, the expressions in their eyes growing more and more shocked by the second.

"Impossible, impossible."

"Good heavens, where did the Sect Leader find this guy? How can he be such a monster?"

At the edge of the arena, the Beardless Sect’s remaining six peerless prodigies were numb. Their eyes were filled with nothing but absolute horror, as if they were incapable of holding any other emotion. It wasn’t until a junior brother beside them spoke up softly that they finally snapped back to reality.

"Everyone, let’s attack," one of them said. "If we really lose like this, the ten of us will completely lose face in the Beardless Sect."

"Just what kind of monster is this guy?" another muttered.

"It doesn’t matter what kind of monster he is anymore. What matters is that he hasn’t even made a damn move yet! If word of this gets out, people who don’t know the truth will think the top ten peerless geniuses of the Beardless Sect are just frauds with unearned reputations. Junior Brother Fan, you are a Body Cultivator. We’ll lend you a hand. We don’t ask for victory; at the very least, we must force that guy to lift a finger!"

Having said that, another trio frantically channeled their Power of Transcendence and charged into the arena like madmen, clearly paving the way for that junior brother surnamed Fan.

Seeing the three already taking action, the burly Junior Brother Fan, who had been clamoring to strike first just a moment ago, froze for a second. However, upon regaining his wits, he could only force himself to step forward.

"Senior Sister Yun Shang, Senior Brother Yichen, if we lose too, it’ll all be up to you two."

Even if they only made Jiang Hao lift a hand, they wouldn’t lose too humiliatingly.

After the burly peerless prodigy spoke, he immediately soared through the air. Unlike the previous challengers, he was a genuine Body Cultivator. Even his method of attack was different; his entire body felt like a massive mountain as he bore down on his opponent, carrying the heavy, oppressive aura of his physical flesh.

In the center of the arena, Jiang Hao murmured, "Hm? A Body Cultivator."

Upon sensing the fluctuations of physical power from the burly youth, Jiang Hao was slightly taken aback at first, but then a hint of interest sparked within him. His physical body was currently at the Thirty-Three Heavens stage, and he had been worrying about not having anyone to test it on. Seeing a powerful Body Cultivator approach, he felt an eager itch in his heart.

"Perfect timing."
