Chapter 328: Chapter 186: Breakthrough to Outer Saint! Thrashing the Northern Barbarian Goddess

CRACK!

The space before them was instantly covered in a web of cracks, like shattering glass. Then, with a BANG, it shattered apart.

All the strange visions vanished completely.

As if they had never appeared at all.

The clear, bright world was restored once more.

WHOOSH!

The moment the visions vanished, a tall and imposing figure in a black robe shot into the sky, landing on the highest cliff. His expression was placid, his robes fluttering. His sharp, piercing gaze swept over toward Su Lun and her companion. The man stood like a colossus, a pillar supporting the heavens and suppressing the earth.

"Chen Xuan!"

The old man’s expression changed once more.

’It’s actually Chen Xuan! How can it be Chen Xuan?’

’He broke through! He reached the Outer Saint realm?’

’An Outer Saint at twenty years old!’

The old man felt his scalp tingle with dread.

’But how is that possible!’

’A Dao Fruit can’t be consumed directly. It has to be refined together with other spiritual treasures from heaven and earth...’

’What did he use to break through?’

"..."

Su Lun’s expression darkened slightly. Her eyes, once as tranquil as a deep well, now held a hint of coldness. "I underestimated you," she said. "You actually managed to refine the Dao Fruit! Can you tell me how you did it?"

"You’re not worthy!"

The indifferent words came from Chen Xuan’s mouth.

He didn’t need to ask who they were. He already knew.

He had seen plenty of her portraits over the last few days.

The Northern Barbarian Celestial Saintess, Su Lun!

The possessor of the Six Paths Samsara Body!

An old monster who had lived for nearly a thousand years!

She had already reincarnated three times, accumulating the foundation of all three lifetimes in one body.

Though she appeared to be at the Outer Saint First Layer, her true combat strength was unfathomable!

However!

Chen Xuan was going to fathom it anyway! He was going to test her!

’Let’s see just how deep the waters of this so-called Goddess run.’

"..."

Su Lun stared intently at Chen Xuan and said indifferently, "Very well. If you don’t want to talk, that’s fine. I’ll just make you kneel first, and then we’ll talk. I’m becoming more and more curious about your secrets. I hope you can keep resisting."

BOOM!

An intangible, divine aura radiated from her body.

It was as if a sacred god had awakened within her, exuding an aura that made one tremble and want to submit. Before her, all of creation seemed infinitely insignificant.

She alone was the master of heaven and earth!

The favored child of this world!

"Stand back!"

Su Lun’s tone was frigid.

"Yes, Goddess!"

The old man at her side felt his scalp crawl as he slowly backed away. He felt his very soul tremble and his heart pound wildly. He knew that the Goddess, normally so placid and detached, was finally getting serious.

’No matter how many secrets or fortuitous encounters the boy had, they would all be for naught before the Goddess.’

"I quite like the look on your face. I hope you can keep it up for a while longer!"

"You absolutely must not compromise under my pressure, or I will be disappointed!"

"And if I’m disappointed, you will suffer. At that point, any undignified behavior from you won’t be a pretty sight—for either of us!"

The cloud patterns on Su Lun’s pristine white robes seemed to dance as she slowly walked forward. The divine aura around her surged, making her seem like a god walking the earth.

That vast and sacred aura pressed outward, layer after crushing layer.

Chen Xuan watched her approach, the corner of his mouth lifting into a slight smirk.

"You really love putting on a show, don’t you?"

"..."

Su Lun’s expression remained divine. Her perfect lips seemed to twitch ever so slightly, forming a cold smile. "You think I’m putting on a show?"

Inwardly, however, she was growing suspicious.

’This young man is very strange.’

’My Spiritual Power is constantly probing him, yet I can’t sense any aura, any fluctuation at all. That’s never happened before.’

BOOM!

The moment the words left her mouth, Chen Xuan took a step forward, transforming into a brilliant golden flash of lightning. He gave her no more time to speak, appearing before Su Lun in the blink of an eye.

It was only then, as Chen Xuan burst forth at full speed, that Su Lun’s pupils constricted. She finally sensed the vast and terrifying power radiating from him.

’This aura...’

’This is absolutely not the Outer Saint First Layer!’

Moreover!

’His body is actually in harmony with the Celestial Dao.’

’It’s like the very firmament is bearing down on me.’

Su Lun hastily flew backward, but it was too late.

Chen Xuan’s speed was blinding. His furious, long-charged palm strike—like the hand of a War God, wreathed in a brilliant yet terrifying light—flew straight for Su Lun’s cheek in a vicious slap.

An unprecedentedly grave expression appeared on Su Lun’s face. In that instant, a tremendous amount of Spiritual Power shot out from between her eyebrows, rushing toward Chen Xuan’s brain in an attempt to control him.

At the same time, her immense True Essence surged violently, forming a suit of divine armor that instantly enveloped her body. Only her two cold eyes were visible as she thrust her own palm strike viciously at Chen Xuan’s heart.

But Chen Xuan showed no intention of retreating or dodging. His ferocious palm strike continued its path toward her face, its speed only increasing.

BOOM!

A brilliant divine light erupted. A terrifying, unfathomable shockwave instantly swept out in all directions, unleashing an explosion of unimaginable power.

The earth quaked and the mountains shook; the sun and moon lost their light.

A deafening RUMBLE echoed.

Endless waves of True Qi swept out wildly.

Su Lun let out a pained grunt. The thick, divine armor covering her face was utterly useless. Chen Xuan’s slap nearly shattered it, and she spat out a mouthful of blood.

Several of her perfect, pearly-white teeth flew from her mouth. Her cheek was nearly twisted out of shape as her entire body spun uncontrollably for dozens of rotations, sent flying several thousand meters away.

’If not for the protection of the divine armor, she suspected that palm strike would have shattered half her skull.’

’The power was too terrifying!’

’It was not of this world!’

As for the Spiritual Power that had shot from between her eyebrows and the palm she’d aimed at Chen Xuan’s heart—it was as if they had had no effect whatsoever.
