Chapter 156: Chapter 124: Peerless Bearing
In an instant, the area was filled with a blazing light, and the temperature became scorching hot.
The very air began to warp.
Waves of terrifying heat, like tangible tsunamis of rage, swept outwards, carrying a searing wind that roared through the air.
Everyone’s vision blurred, their faces filled with horror.
’Has this guy gone mad?’
’He has this kind of power, there’s no need for all this. He just wants a spot at the front. If he’d just asked, we might have given him one.’
’After all, there are four such spots.’
’Why did he have to resort to a Secret Technique like this?’
Everyone could see that Chen Xuan was using a Secret Technique. The terrifying aura erupting from his body was like a volcano, surging outward in every direction. The scorching, dreadful heat was so intense that even Zhang Yunhe, Ling Feiyu, and Hui Ming were stunned.
Under this powerful aura, even these three veteran masters felt their skin prickle and sting.
"A madman! This guy is a madman!"
Zhang Yunhe of the True Martial Sect cursed under his breath.
"A madman? I like it!"
A blazing light flickered in the eyes of Ling Feiyu from the Lingxiao Sect. He stared intently at Chen Xuan, licked his lips, and said, "Are all the youngsters these days so wild? He’s far more impressive than we were back in our day!"
He had once reached as high as number eighteen on the Human List.
After falling off the list, he spent two arduous years painstakingly cultivating to reach the True Qi Fifth Layer.
And now, some kid barely in his twenties had managed to reach the same realm.
It was utterly shocking.
But amid the shock, the thought of testing him began to form.
’Perhaps this ’senior’ should teach him a proper lesson about humility and courtesy.’
’Does he think reaching the True Qi Fifth Layer makes him invincible?’
’He was about to be proven wrong!’
"Amitabha Buddha."
Hui Ming of the Vajra Temple was also staring intently at Chen Xuan. "My friends," he said, "it seems this Little Brother Chen is not the reasonable type."
As he spoke, he suddenly turned to look at a young figure in a corner.
It was the young noble from the Sword Sect.
"Miss, your strength is no less than ours. Why don’t we join forces?"
A smile suddenly appeared on Hui Ming’s face.
Everyone was shocked once again and turned to look.
Their gazes fell upon the handsome young noble in the white robe.
They had previously thought the person was absurdly handsome and had been secretly puzzled.
’Who would have thought she was actually a woman?’
’And her power... it was this incredible!’
’Strong enough to earn the acknowledgment of Hui Ming from the Vajra Temple!’
’Could she also be at the True Qi Fifth Layer?’
’But someone like that shouldn’t be so unknown.’
"I... I can’t do it. I can’t..."
The young noble waved her hands frantically, her voice and face filled with panic.
At this moment, she was completely overwhelmed by Chen Xuan’s astonishing aura.
Recalling Chen Xuan’s past combat achievements, how could she possibly dare to make a move against him?
Especially now, with his aura blazing and his body wreathed in golden light, Chen Xuan looked like a divine being. The sight struck her to her core, and it felt as if countless fists were pummeling her from the inside out.
The three masters all frowned.
’This mysterious woman is so powerful, yet why is she so timid?’
’She’s nothing like what a master of the Martial Dao should be!’
"Very well. I’ll give you time. Go ahead, call for backup. Use your Secret Techniques, gather your strength, use every means at your disposal. I’ll stand right here today and see if any of you can make me budge!"
BOOM!
Chen Xuan’s voice was cold and domineering. His golden aura grew even more terrifying, shaking the very ground beneath them!
With his combat power tripled, he possessed a strength that felt capable of dominating everything.
’If he was going to be arrogant... ’
’Then he might as well be arrogant to the very end!’
His powerful and terrifying presence once again left everyone stunned.
All eyes were fixed on him.
’This guy... What an incredibly domineering attitude!’
’Isn’t he afraid of falling into a weakened state when the Secret Technique wears off?’
’Or is he so absolutely confident that he can crush everyone here?’
"Chen Xuan, don’t waste time. The pollen from the Ancient Tree of Life is on a timer... it will gradually dissipate. The longer you drag this out, the faster it will fade, and the effect of the baptism will grow weaker and weaker..."
Shen Qinghan couldn’t help but whisper a reminder from behind him.
Chen Xuan frowned and looked back, his gaze focusing on the pure white flowers in the massive treetop.
Thick clouds of pollen, shimmering with tiny motes of light, danced on the wind before dissolving into the air.
It was as if vast amounts of spiritual essence were dissipating along with it.
His expression darkened, and he spoke.
"In that case, forget it. I’ll take the initiative!"
SWOOSH!
His body vanished in a flash, and in the next instant, he was charging straight for Hui Ming of the Vajra Temple.
Hui Ming had been on guard against Chen Xuan the entire time, his internal True Qi already circulating at its peak. The moment Chen Xuan vanished, Hui Ming’s body suddenly swelled as if being inflated.
RIIIP!
Hui Ming’s robes instantly disintegrated as his body swelled, growing significantly larger and more muscular. He now resembled a small giant, his entire form flickering with specks of golden light.
"Vajra’s Wrathful Gaze!"
He let out a furious roar as his True Qi surged. With the unstoppable force of a thunderbolt, he swung a massive hand to meet Chen Xuan’s charge head-on.
In full view of the crowd, the two golden figures—one large, one small—collided in an instant.
At the same time, Zhang Yunhe of the True Martial Sect and Ling Feiyu of the Lingxiao Sect, positioned on opposite sides, felt their eyes blaze with a sudden, heroic passion. A vast surge of True Qi erupted from their bodies.
’Excellent!’
’Let’s go all out!’
’It’s just a Secret Technique!’
’As if we don’t have our own!’
Just as their hearts pounded with excitement and they were about to charge forward, their expressions suddenly changed. They skidded to a halt, looks of pure horror on their faces, unable to believe their eyes.
’What the fuck...’
BOOM!
Hui Ming’s body finally collided violently with Chen Xuan’s. A sound like rolling thunder exploded in mid-air as a terrifying torrent of power and aura erupted. But in a single exchange, Hui Ming’s True Qi was blasted apart. His massive, expanded Vajra Body was like a scarecrow as Chen Xuan’s palm struck his chest with a deafening WHAM!
They then watched as Hui Ming’s body was sent flying backward with a bloodcurdling scream. His chest instantly caved in, the bones within snapping like dry twigs. Blood and air shot from his mouth and nostrils as his body flew horizontally over their heads, smashing violently into the distant woods.
CRASH!
Dust billowed, and the ground shook.
Countless trees were shattered by the impact of his body.
He landed like a cannonball, kicking up a maelstrom of air and debris.
After he landed, he violently coughed up more blood, his face a mask of agony. He couldn’t even manage to get up.
[You grievously wounded a veteran master of the True Qi Realm, bringing you a sense of satisfaction. Retribution points +9000!]
"Wha... what?"
Zhang Yunhe and Ling Feiyu both stared wide-eyed in horror.
’Are you kidding me?’
Not far away in the crowd, Shi Pojun of the "Mountain Shattering Palm" was even more horrified. His mouth hung open, his jaw nearly hitting the floor.
’Hui Ming, using his Vajra Body, was grievously wounded in a single blow?’
’How is that possible?’
’The Vajra Body is one of the Vajra Temple’s most secret techniques.’
’Once activated, the user becomes indestructible, impervious to all poisons, and experiences an explosive increase in power. It wards off all manner of evil spirits and is known as one of the most powerful and perfect body-tempering methods in the world.’
’And it was shattered in a single blow?’
The young noble from the Sword Sect grew even more terrified. Her conviction in her Martial Dao wavered, and she could only stumble backward.
BOOM!
Chen Xuan spun around, his eyes icy. Golden True Qi blazed around his body as he casually flexed his wrist.
’Not bad.’
’The impact actually made my palm go numb.’
’But that was all.’
’After all, I have mastered multiple physical talents, including Bronze Skin and Iron Bones, Innate Divine Strength, and the Innate Tyrant Body. And that’s on top of my perfected Iron Wall Dragon-Elephant Technique.’
’With so many buffs active, the fact that he could even make my palm go numb was an impressive feat in itself.’
"Damn it, this guy..."
Zhang Yunhe, who just a moment ago had been brimming with confidence and ready for a desperate battle, was now staring in shock, his eyes filled with terror.
’The difference in power is just too absurd!’
’How is anyone supposed to beat a monster like that?!’
"Wait, stop! All you’re fighting for is a spot! We can give you a spot!"
Ling Feiyu of the Lingxiao Sect shouted hastily.
"That’s right, we’ll give you a spot!"
Zhang Yunhe immediately chimed in.
’There was no need for a life-or-death battle!’
’Why risk their lives over this?’
"Give it to me?"
Chen Xuan’s True Qi blazed, his aura immense. His voice was calm, stating the obvious. "Give me what’s already mine? By what right?"
"You!"
Both of them were shocked and furious.
’This guy!’
’He’s too arrogant!’
’Too tyrannical!’
’Does he have any sense of reason at all?’
As they seethed with impotent rage, Zhang Yunhe’s pupils suddenly shrank. He felt every hair on his body stand on end as a terrifying, unpredictable figure—like a great dragon wreathed in dense, golden flames—charged toward him at incredible speed.
The terrifying momentum and astonishing aura were simply overwhelming.
"Ling Feiyu, attack with me now!"
Zhang Yunhe roared.
SLAP!
"Aaargh!"
The word had barely left his lips when his scream rang out. Blood sprayed through the air as his clothes exploded. The sight was too horrible to behold. Like a scarecrow, his entire body was sent spinning through the air by Chen Xuan’s slap. His mind went blank, his vision turned black, and an excruciating pain washed over him, as if he’d been struck by a colossal beast. With a loud THUD, he smashed into the ground in the distance.
[You grievously wounded a veteran master of the True Qi Realm, bringing you a sense of satisfaction. Retribution points +9000!]
"Farewell!"
Ling Feiyu of the Lingxiao Sect was extremely decisive. He turned and fled, covering an unknown distance in a single SWOOSH.
He didn’t even glance back.
A faint, bloody scent lingered in the air.
Evidently, in order to escape, the man had resorted to using a Secret Technique similar to the ’Heavenly Devil Disintegration’.
He would rather injure himself than face Chen Xuan.
He fled so fast that Chen Xuan didn’t even have a chance to stop him.
"..."
Chen Xuan was momentarily speechless. But soon, his gaze, sharp as lightning, swept across the remaining, dumbfounded crowd. His powerful aura erupted once more. With a RUMBLE, the ground trembled, and the air grew scorching hot.
"The rest of you can come at me together!" he said, his voice cold.
