Chapter 1037 997: Battle at the Fourth Heavenly Layer

A low growl of shock and disbelief echoed between heaven and earth. The crowd clearly saw Lu Qiuqing's face change several times in an instant, unusually shaken! It turned dark and unsightly...

His eyes were filled with an indescribable tremor.

Could it be that this scene before him was actually real?

Because regardless, whatever he had previously heard or believed about Chen Fei's ultimate power only suggested he was at the Peak of the Third Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm...

After all, he had once injured Lu Hong, one of the Qian Long Sect Eighteen Peaks' leaders, and the latter was a Peak of Third Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm expert!

But even so, even the Peak of Third Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm, compared to him, Lu Qiuqing, was worlds apart, like the difference between a glowworm and the bright moon! If he decided to act, someone like Lu Hong would be like a helpless child!

Because Lu Qiuqing, as a Supreme Elder of the Yan Zhen Sect in Ghost Wolf City, was a being at the Fourth Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm!

And now, not only had someone dared to interfere in his affairs, but the other party was also astonishingly formidable, making him somewhat embarrassed and leading him to suspect if it was an old monster or an old rival of equal level targeting him!?

But now, what did he just hear?

He heard that this person claimed to be Chen Fei!

Could this person possess combat strength equal to his own at the Fourth Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm?

How is this possible!?

In the sky, the gigantic figure enveloped in the Qi of Purple Firmament released a terrifying oppressive force. Though not as overwhelming and surging as Lu Qiuqing's presently emotional aura, the feeling it gave off was akin to a hidden undercurrent beneath the sea...

Silent and invisible, yet extremely terrifying.

"You, are you really that Chen Fei?" During the standoff, Lu Qiuqing still found it hard to believe the truth, his face trembling and gloomy, coldly questioning.

"Do I have any reason to deceive you?" The gigantic body of Qi of Purple Firmament, which was Chen Fei, coldly laughed, raised a hand, and suddenly a terrifying and vast blood energy flowed from its gigantic form, shaking the sky.

"Alright, I don't have time to waste so many words with you. Time and time again you come seeking trouble; it seems your Yan Zhen Sect is determined to take revenge on me?" Chen Fei looked at his opponent, ice-cold aura flowing around him.

"So what?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qiuqing finally accepted this astonishing truth before his eyes.

Glaring coldly at Chen Fei, he said ominously, "You dared to use a lethal hand against the future leader of my Yan Zhen Sect, so what if we make you pay with your life?"

"Make me pay with my life?" Chen Fei's mouth twitched into a cold smile, "Indeed, right now I'm not much... but your trash sect thinks it can take Chen Fei's life!?"

Boom!

In an instant, the blood energy trembled, and the Qi of Purple Firmament filled the sky.

Wisps of flame began to appear on his body, it was the Heavenly and Earthly Exotic Flame — Earth Spirit Flame of the Snake Heart!

The sheer power of the Heavenly and Earthly Exotic Flame became increasingly sinister as Chen Fei grew stronger, finally revealing its fearsome side!

"Trash sect? Little bastard, are you looking to die?" Lu Qiuqing's eyes turned red, angrily roaring.

"The one looking to die is you!"

"Die!"

Boom!

In that instant, the heavens and earth trembled as Chen Fei, in his present gigantic form of Qi of Purple Firmament, swung a giant fist towards Lu Qiuqing in the distant sky! The terrifying blood energy was like a dragon, the Qi of Purple Firmament filled the sky, sweeping all around...

In the blink of an eye, the terrifying spiritual energy shield of Fourth Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm blocking Chen Fei's path was shattered by that punch! The sky shuddered.

Rumble...

Intense ripples surged toward Lu Qiuqing, directly knocking him from the sky, sending him plummeting down, in great distress.

"What?" Faced with such an assault, Lu Qiuqing's face turned ugly in an instant. How could such a monstrous person appear, so young, yet possessing such formidable combat power, causing him, Lu Qiuqing, such shame!?

But then he quickly composed himself, launching forward to attack.

Lu Qiuqing is who? He is the Supreme Elder of Yan Zhen Sect, an individual of high status!

When he roamed Ghost Wolf City, young punks like Chen Fei were probably not even born decades ago.

So he can't back down today. If he backed down, where would his face be!?

Boom!

Just saw the light around Lu Qiuqing shimmer, his eyes becoming strangely dazzling.

Amid the dazzling light, strands of grey-white chilling aura flowed out, merging with the broken gong in his hand, and immediately, the sky trembled! Chen Fei's punch, unexpectedly, was forced back!?

"...Interesting."

Seeing this, Chen Fei was slightly silent, then narrowed his eyes, revealing an amused smile.

Apparently, he hadn't expected that his opponent, who was just at the Fourth Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm, could so easily break his punch. He knew he was no longer what he used to be, having transformed!

The Purple Firmament Judgement Heavenly Palace path, paired with Foundation Establishment True Person Realm Second Heavenly Layer level, was not a joke!

His current strength was at least ten times what it was a few months ago!

"Interesting? Heh, very good... Don't worry, I will let you know what is even more interesting?" Hearing Chen Fei's muttering, Lu Qiuqing interpreted it as mockery, laughed in extreme anger, and in a flash, he placed the broken gong against his head...

The broken gong, an incredibly powerful Silver Magical Treasure, released a grey-white airflow, unexpectedly forming an incredibly mysterious captivity domain, trapping Chen Fei's gigantic figure inside, unable to move!

"Die! You little bastard!"

Lu Qiuqing sneered coldly, gently waving that thin hand.

"Bang!"

But at this moment, streams of Qi of Purple Firmament wrapped around the Earth Spirit Flame of the Snake Heart burst forth like a long rainbow piercing the sky!

The immense power directly exploded in the sky. Lu Qiuqing's face suddenly changed as he quickly retreated…

"Why are you running? Weren't you going to kill me?" A massive figure followed closely behind.

Boom!

Five fingers, like purple copper pillars, spread wide, with thunder and lightning, imposing a grand pressure… The gigantic palm pressed down like a huge mountain, unleashing a terrifying force of purple wind and thunder! The Earth Spirit Flame of the Snake Heart also revealed its power.

Roar.

Rumble, rumble, rumble…

A bizarre howl, neither snake nor dragon, echoed from within the Earth Spirit Flame of the Snake Heart.

Suddenly, the sky trembled, and the massive flames sealed off an area…

Lu Qiuqing's body trembled violently and fell from the sky once again, unable to stand steady.

"You, I will kill you!" Lu Qiuqing was furious, his face flushed and twisted, feeling a sense of humiliation.

With his identity and status, such a formidable expert, how could he now accept being thrashed by Chen Fei like this? How could he be willing!?

"Damned gong!" Lu Qiuqing roared, and his whole body burst into terrifying rays, empowering the damned gong.

In an instant, Chen Fei seemed to be entangled and enveloped by the power of that damned gong. A flowing silver desert appeared around him, trying to entomb Chen Fei.

"Hmph!"

"Crimson Flame Tide Bowl." Chen Fei snorted coldly, and with a surge of crimson energy, the Crimson Flame Tide Bowl, which was also a Silver Magical Treasure, shot out from his body! At the same time, the Earth Spirit Flame of the Snake Heart flew over to merge with it, then the terrifying flames directly incinerated the Silver Desert to nothing!

Pfft!

Lu Qiuqing's face changed drastically as he suffered a backlash, spitting out blood!

With the blood spewed from his mouth, his aura started to weaken. Flecks of pallor crawled over his face.

"Damned brat!"

Escaping from the combined onslaught of the Crimson Flame Tide Bowl and the Earth Spirit Flame of the Snake Heart, Lu Qiuqing's face was livid with rage, roaring furiously. He was a Fourth Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm existence! A dignified Supreme Elder of Yan Zhen Sect, yet now he was at a disadvantage in Chen Fei's hands, feeling utterly stifled.

"Die for me!" The more stifled Lu Qiuqing felt, the more unwilling he became.

Spiritual radiance howled, the Silver Desert filled the sky, and he released the full power of himself and that damned gong!

Boom!

In the desert, giant pythons made entirely of flowing Silver Desert rose, devouring the sky and earth, the light of magical treasures surged powerfully, rushing toward Chen Fei to swallow him.

"This thing doesn't work on me… Do you still not believe you'll die?" Chen Fei sneered, his massive body descending from the sky, releasing the Qi of Purple Firmament, causing a dazzling purple sun to appear behind him…

"Falling Star Rain!" Chen Fei growled lowly, and the purple sun, dozens of meters in diameter, fell terrifyingly, engulfing everything.

"This, this, this…" In the distance, Cang Kun, Blue Whale, the Eight Great Iron Guards, and everyone in the Enlightened Deity Cave were almost stupefied, both immensely shocked and terrified.

They obviously hadn't expected that their Lord Mansion Master of the Enlightened Deity Mansion, would be so formidable now! Even the Supreme Elder of Yan Zhen Sect, a Fourth Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm existence, was being battered so badly by him?

And what exactly is this purple sun divine skill? It's incredibly terrifying…

Pong, an explosion!

The Silver Desert transformed by the damned gong shattered instantly, and everything turned to nothingness. The giant pythons engaged in devouring also ceased to exist.

"What?" Lu Qiuqing's pupils shrank to the size of a needle, filled with shock and anger! At this time, the terrifying purple sun descended towards him…

"No!" Lu Qiuqing's face was filled with terror, fleeing desperately, but the purple sun still locked onto him.

Moreover, not only that, but the Crimson Flame Tide Bowl combined with the Earth Spirit Flame of the Snake Heart had already quietly sealed off this area!

The terrifying pressure of the purple sun made the area in which Lu Qiuqing could evade smaller and smaller…

At the same time, his body seemed to become pitted and riddled with holes from being unable to bear the weight.

This astonishing reality and pressure caused Lu Qiuqing to panic!

"Damn brat, how can he be this powerful?"

Lu Qiuqing roared with a grimace, full of unwillingness. He could see that Chen Fei's age was surely even younger than his great-grandson, yet this junior could actually overpower him! How could he be willing to accept this!?

"This can't go on!" Lu Qiuqing screamed within, his gaze trembling. If this continued, it might not be long before he'd have to worry about life-threatening danger.

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth. His hands flowed with restless silver light, and at the same time, within him, a long-sealed energy cluster exploded!

Boom!

In an instant, Lu Qiuqing's entire momentum surged violently!

The damned gong became a terrifying weapon in his hand, imprinted on his palm, vibrating intimidatingly, condensing into a supreme beam of light to strike upward, colliding fiercely with the purple sun.

Rumble, rumble, rumble…

In an instant, the sky trembled, and the purple sun disappeared.

In its place was an expansive mass of grayish-white smoke, the Divine Sense unable to penetrate it. Chen Fei's face slightly changed.
