Chapter 2523: Chapter 2491: Battle at the Peak (Part 3)

Lii Miao’s arm swiftly expanded and inflated at a speed visible to the naked eye, resembling a monster. Crimson patterns crisscrossed his gigantic arm, accompanied by a swirling dark red glow, inundating the entire space with a bloodthirsty aura.

Li Chen cautiously scanned his surroundings, the bloodthirsty aura severely reducing visibility and even restricting his perception ability.

Whoosh!

The next moment, the giant arm swept over, accompanied by a powerful surge of True Yuan that instantly leveled the ground in its path, sending rocks and branches flying everywhere.

"Today, I will show you the difference between the Peak Palm Source and an Origin Realm Powerhouse!" Lii Miao’s eyes flashed with a ruthless glare and he spoke fiercely.

This Blood Domain Demon Claw is considered Lii Miao’s signature technique. Years ago, before he comprehended the Founding Dao, he managed to escape unscathed from an Origin Realm Powerhouse using this move.

Thus, Lii Miao had absolute confidence in his Demon Claw.

In Li Chen’s eyes, the giant scarlet claw kept enlarging. Without hesitation, Li Chen tightly gripped the Red Moon in his hand, simultaneously retreating while preparing to attack.

Just as the scarlet arm was about to strike Li Chen, he suddenly leaped, soaring into the air. He thrust the Red Moon in his hand, which harbored an extremely domineering power, towards the red claw. A dark light slashed through the air, accompanied by a sharp sound of Wind Breaker.

Whoosh————Bang!

The blade light from the Red Moon directly cut into the giant arm, but it didn’t have much effect, merely slightly restricting Lii Miao.

Lii Miao sneered coldly, "Ha ha, just a tickle!"

After speaking, Lii Miao turned quickly, stepping into the attack, his scarlet arms embraced like an all-encompassing wave, directly sweeping towards Li Chen. Li Chen gritted his teeth, his Red Moon defending while retreating, frantically slashing at Lii Miao’s massive scarlet hand.

"Unsheathed!!"

"Unsheathing the sword!!"

With the Red Moon in hand, Li Chen unleashed a fierce storm of horizontal and vertical cuts, employing multiple techniques in quick succession, none of which yielded satisfactory results.

Their fight continued rapidly in mid-air, Lii Miao maneuvering swiftly while swinging his arms, leaving giant handprints on the ground below as if swatting mosquitoes.

Such power could instantaneously cause a burst of blood for any Ancient Ancestor Level powerhouse struck.

But soon, Lii Miao sensed something was amiss.

Although the Blood Domain Demon Claw was formidable, Li Chen didn’t give him the opportunity for direct confrontation. Li Chen moved through the space like a loach, occasionally blocking, remaining unscathed.

Bang!

Lii Miao struck again with fury, only to miss as Li Chen’s former spot on the rock was left with just a shadow. The rock was pulverized by Lii Miao, with Li Chen already on the opposite side.

When Lii Miao reacted, preparing to counter-strike, Li Chen’s deceptive movement technique caused his position to shift, the Blood Moon rapidly rotating, sending a red tornado surging forth. The immense power halted Lii Miao’s attack.

At this moment, Lii Miao’s expression grew increasingly grim.

After several tussles, Lii Miao’s veins bulged with anger. He decided to waste no more words, opting for the most direct method to end the battle.

That is the boundless True Yuan of an Origin Realm Powerhouse!

If previously they clashed while close combat to determine victory, Lii Miao now changed his approach, intending to use long-range attacks, leveraging the difference in hard power to obliterate Li Chen.

Lii Miao retreated two steps, the violent True Yuan surging from his body like a tsunami. Behind him formed several True Essence Giant Dragons, around which pure True Yuan Force swirled.

"Boy, let’s see where you hide this time??"

After speaking, Lii Miao’s expression showed cold malice, channeling all his True Yuan. Several giant dragons swept across the heavens, charging towards Li Chen, mingled with low, resounding dragon roars echoing in the space.

The intense fluctuation touched even Tai Chu and others, engaged in combat afar, prompting Tai Chu to furrow his brows and remark, "Such strong True Yuan fluctuation... I wonder if that kid below can withstand it."

"Hehe, there’s no need for concern. Secular Taoist Friend wouldn’t be passed down by Lord Hong if he lacked substance." Tian Que remained unconcerned, calmly facing the White Demon ahead.

He had personally witnessed Li Chen’s immense True Yuan capacity in the Jianmu Universe.

Tian Que threw a punch directly, catching the White Demon off guard. The right wing was struck down by Tian Que’s fist, blood splurging instantly.

"This bird monster is weak, isn’t it?" Tian Que taunted.

The White Demon opposite felt infuriated and inclined to curse, having narrowly evaded Zhou Huo’s attack using a Spirit Talisman, but already suffering serious injuries, clearly showing inadequate strength.

Meanwhile, Lii Miao’s several True Essence Giant Dragons converged, like a thunderstorm, angrily rushing towards Li Chen below.

Boom boom boom!

The True Essence Giant Dragons fiercely crashed onto Li Chen, distorting the space slightly, causing instant ground collapse.

Seeing Li Chen engulfed by his assault, Lii Miao erupted in wild laughter, "Hahaha, a weakling daring to challenge me. I shall trap your soul in the Soul Furnace and have you suffer eternal agony!"

Lii Miao’s demeanor twisted, evidently having not directly resolved Li Chen’s situation felt like losing face for the Origin Realm.

An Origin Realm Powerhouse finds instant kills quite challenging due to the True Universe’s nature, but among those below the Origin Realm, in Lii Miao’s view, it’s like killing one out of one ten times!

The True Essence Giant Dragons mercilessly bombarded where Li Chen stood, leaving wreckage; a moment later, Lii Miao smiled smugly, transforming into a shadow, charging towards Li Chen’s location, now engulfed in flames and dust. Lii Miao preliminarily judged Li Chen dead by this time.

He extended his scarlet large hand, intending to retrieve Li Chen’s corpse, yet after probing and searching, he discovered no trace of Li Chen, nor his body.

"Did I strike too hard, destroying his flesh completely?" Lii Miao pondered.

However, just as he basked in triumph, a voice emerged from the fire and dust below.

"Ha ha, thinking you can kill me so easily? Aren’t you afraid of choking to death with such ambition?"

Lii Miao paused upon hearing Li Chen’s voice. Without time to react, a sharp pain surged through his arm.

"Wordless!" Li Chen’s Red Moon suddenly flashed, releasing a blade light that instantly slashed down, the fierce cutting power severing Lii Miao’s right arm.

The giant arm, once cut, deflated like a punctured balloon, rapidly shrinking until it reached normal size.
