Chapter 515 - 513: All-Out Battle

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The terrifying explosions made everyone’s scalp tingle. They had a feeling Lin Xuan would be blown to smithereens, that not a single piece of him would be left intact.

On the other hand, they couldn’t help but marvel at Jiang Xuanyuan’s immense power. The Flesh Array amplified his strength tremendously, drawing Elemental Power directly from his body and greatly reducing its limitations. The only downsides were the immense energy consumption and a lack of stability.

But to achieve this ultimate effect, Jiang Xuanyuan had ruthlessly embedded the Array Talisman within his own body. The results were now plain to see—its incredible power far surpassed anything he had displayed before.

After the explosion subsided, a golden figure descended from the sky. His skin was slightly charred, and blood seeped from his Dragon Scales. He didn’t seem to have taken too much damage, but at the very least, Jiang Xuanyuan had succeeded in shattering his protective barrier and wounding him with the blast.

"Oh, so you’re still alive? It would’ve been pretty boring if it ended just like that." Jiang Xuanyuan licked his lips, brimming with fighting spirit. There was no longer a trace of exhaustion about him.

"A Flesh Array... its power is truly extraordinary." Lin Xuan’s expression remained unchanged as he smiled faintly. "It’s very strong, but its weakness is obvious. The moment the flow of Elemental Power in your body is disrupted, you’re finished."

Arrays have a particularly strict requirement: the supply of Elemental Power must be stable. If it becomes unstable, problems arise easily. It will either fail or explode!

"If you have the ability, then go ahead and try! That is, if you can even touch me!" Jiang Xuanyuan flashed a sinister smile. The moment he finished speaking, he charged toward Lin Xuan. With a BOOM, his speed erupted. Those with low Cultivation could hardly even see his figure.

But Lin Xuan’s attack was faster. His eyes narrowed as he unleashed the Spirit God Technique.

BOOM!

A powerful Soul Attack bore down on him, but upon reaching Jiang Xuanyuan, it was blocked by a protective barrier. This too was a benefit of the Array. It could block not only physical attacks but also Soul Attacks. From a defensive standpoint, it was nearly perfect, capable of blocking almost anything.

If not for such an outstanding effect, Jiang Xuanyuan would never have embedded the Array Talisman in his body. One could say that as long as he maintained internal stability, he was in a state of semi-invincibility.

The Soul Attack had no effect!

WHOOSH!

Flame erupted from his legs as he executed the Cyan Cloud Fire-Treading Step. Combined with his peak Body Technique, his speed saw a considerable boost, putting him on par with Jiang Xuanyuan.

A golden light flashed, intertwined with the Yulan Sacred Fire. The two lights collided at extreme speed with a deafening bang. Lin Xuan was thrown violently backward, spinning several times in mid-air before crashing to the ground. Jiang Xuanyuan, in contrast, was largely unaffected. He only took a few steps back, completely unharmed. The barrier before him had a slight dent, but otherwise, there was no damage to speak of!

The advantage of a Flesh Array is that its Array Hub is inside the user’s body. Unless he was gravely wounded, how could anyone destroy it? To put it bluntly, by the time an attack was strong enough to destroy the Array Hub, the user would either be on the brink of death or already dead.

’What a tough barrier...’

Lin Xuan frowned. He was in a much worse state. The barrier from his Yunlan Sacred Robe had been shattered by a single punch. When their fists collided, it was his that had been injured by the impact. Blood trickled down his arm and dripped onto the ground, slowly pooling.

Even the Yulan Sacred Fire couldn’t penetrate the barrier. Its extreme cold only managed to form a layer of frost on Jiang Xuanyuan’s skin. It froze the surface, but it didn’t seep in, rendering it meaningless. With a simple flex, Jiang Xuanyuan easily shattered the layer of ice, proving its ineffectiveness.

This sight immediately drew a wave of cheers from the audience, though they were mostly mixed with jeers.

"Jiang Xuanyuan, hurry up and finish that brat! See how arrogant he can be now!"

"With just that little bit of skill, he wants to make it into the top two? Get rid of this country bumpkin for us!"

"Thinking he can climb over us? He should go crawling back to his mommy!"

...

The endless stream of curses didn’t affect Lin Xuan’s mood in the slightest. He simply smiled, as if everything was still under his control.

"Let’s end this. The Flesh Array isn’t perfect. I hope this will serve as a lesson for you... I was merely testing its effects just now," Lin Xuan said calmly.

"Hmph?!" Jiang Xuanyuan grew angry. "Are you saying that was all just a test? That you haven’t even used your real strength?"

"That’s right. Dealing with your Flesh Array takes no effort at all. It will shatter with a single poke! In fact, dealing with you is even easier than dealing with Mu Qianlong!"

Lin Xuan’s aura changed abruptly. His entire presence shifted. The Dragon Scales covering his body vanished, leaving him looking completely ordinary. Yet, the more ordinary he appeared, the more profound he felt, for his entire being had merged with the space around him, becoming one with his surroundings.

Martial God Soul Possession!

The Void Spirit Level Martial God Soul Possession instantly transformed his aura. Endless battle intent radiated from his eyes. Immediately after, Martial Intent rose from his body, and the phantom of a Martial God wielding a massive Yanyue Saber appeared in everyone’s view. This boundless Martial Intent alone was enough to shatter all things!

Faced with this terrifying Martial Intent, Jiang Xuanyuan’s expression changed. In fact, *everyone’s* expression changed. This was Martial Intent—the very will of a Martial God!

Its name was legendary among the Super Races. It was incredibly difficult to master, though a few had succeeded in their Cultivation. No one had expected Lin Xuan to possess Martial Intent. It was as if he had an endless supply of trump cards; he had just played one, and now he was revealing another.

"It’s over..."

Lin Xuan gripped the empty air, as if he were holding a Yanyue Saber himself. He then swung it fiercely forward, and the Martial Intent surrounding him slashed down in unison.

"A single slash to sever mountains and rivers!"

He unleashed the most common of the Martial God’s techniques. With his swing, a massive blade of light swept out horizontally, cutting across the entire arena and covering everything in its path.

Jiang Xuanyuan’s face fell, but he could only brace himself. With a roar, he met the attack head-on, swinging his fist upward to intercept it. The Array covering his body flared to life, triggered by his Hand Seal as a blinding light flashed in his eyes.

"Array Control of Heaven and Earth!"

Jiang Xuanyuan roared, channeling all his inner fury into the cry. Amidst a blinding flash, he himself transformed into a piercing beam of pure light, shooting forward. The very space around him seemed to twist, as if he intended to warp the massive blade of light coming at him.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

A violent explosion erupted, once again obscuring the entire arena from view. This time, however, the crowd wasn’t worried about Lin Xuan, but about Jiang Xuanyuan. After all, the epicenter of the blast was where Jiang Xuanyuan stood, not Lin Xuan.
