Chapter 509: Chapter 228: Continuous Breakthroughs! Annihilating a Taboo Figure

There would be no turning back!

"Chen Xuan, be careful! That’s a curse! Don’t let it touch you!"

Chu Shanhe shouted in panic, trying to warn him.

But Chen Xuan paid him no mind, his body moving at extreme speed.

His massive body, like a bolt of lightning wreathed in a brilliant golden glow, shot directly toward his opponent.

In just a few moments, his body had once again accumulated an unimaginable amount of power.

In his Heaven and Earth form, he was like a massive pipe sucking up water—drawing in huge amounts with ferocious speed and accumulating power just as quickly.

His body flashed past, completely ignoring all the curses.

His expression was icy as he unleashed the ultimate punch, smashing it right into his opponent’s face.

BOOM!

The sound of the terrifying blow was explosive.

SQUELCH!

Even though this was an Innate Stone who had attained the Dao, with a body as tough as diamond, Chen Xuan’s punch blew half his face apart. Brain matter flew—a gruesome sight—as purplish-red blood splattered in every direction.

His face contorted in agony as he let out a miserable scream.

"How are you unharmed?"

"You piece of trash. I thought you had some trump card, but all you managed was to cook up a curse for your daddy? Don’t you know that curses are the one thing in this world your daddy isn’t afraid of!"

RUMBLE!

Chen Xuan seized the opportunity. His fists, like brilliant meteors carrying the terrifying Power of the Heavenly Dao, began to relentlessly pummel his opponent’s body.

As the saying goes, fall behind once and you’ll fall behind at every step.

Before, Chen Xuan had pummeled the Stone Man for ages, only managing to mangle his cheeks without damaging his brain.

But now, having given Chen Xuan the chance to gather his strength, a single blow had shattered half his face, costing him half his life on the spot.

With half his life gone, he was even less of a match for Chen Xuan.

He stumbled backward, screaming continuously.

His once-mighty aura receded like the tide, rapidly weakening.

Finally, Chen Xuan seized his body. Unfurling his three heads and six arms, he used his main two arms to hold the Stone Man in place, while his other four grabbed the Stone Man’s arms and yanked violently outward.

The Stone Man immediately let out an even more pained and blood-curdling scream.

His eyes looked as if they would tear from their sockets as he struggled with all his might, but he couldn’t break free. All he could feel was a searing pain in his arms until, at last, blood burst from his skin.

RIP!

Chen Xuan had actually ripped both of his arms clean off.

Thick, purplish-red blood gushed out like a fountain.

His face was a mask of terror and disbelief.

’Chen Xuan actually tore off both my arms?’

’How can this be?’

’I’m an Innate Stone who attained the Dao!’

’Natural disasters and man-made calamities could never harm me.’

’Even the encroachment of darkness was useless against me.’

’Over countless years, I’ve faced every disaster imaginable. My body was selected by the Celestial Dao itself and tempered to be indestructible.’

’And now, my indestructible body is broken?’

But his expression quickly turned to one of even greater terror. Chen Xuan’s two main hands had hoisted him into the air, while the other four had seized his two legs and were pulling them apart.

"AAAAH!"

The piercing pain made the Stone Man shriek in agony once more.

"Chen Xuan, I am an Innate Stone Man! If you harm me, you will face heavenly retribution!"

"Heavenly retribution, my ass! I *am* the heavens!"

Chen Xuan roared.

RIP!

The Stone Man’s body couldn’t take it. Amidst a series of hoarse screams, Chen Xuan grabbed him by the legs and tore him apart, unleashing a frantic spray of purplish-red blood.

The tear ran from his groin all the way to his chest.

But that wasn’t all.

With another forceful tug from Chen Xuan...

SPLIT!

He was torn completely in two.

The two halves of his body were held in separate hands.

The head was still attached to the right half.

The Stone Man’s eyes were filled with terror, his heart turning to ash. As his body was ripped apart, the blackness on his skin rapidly faded, and in the blink of an eye, he reverted to his previous orange-yellow color.

"Hahahahaha..."

Chen Xuan burst into raucous laughter.

All three of his faces laughed at once, the sound causing the very sky to tremble.

In the distance, the minds of Chu Shanhe, Xue Wanchuan, and the Nine Heavens Elder were reeling.

’The Old Stone Man... was torn limb from limb by Chen Xuan?’

’Torn limb from limb?’

[You have severely injured a taboo figure, causing his mind to collapse. +250,000 retribution points!]

A line of text suddenly appeared before his eyes.

"Hm?"

Chen Xuan’s eyes flickered with surprise.

’I unlocked another talent?’

’A time talent?’

’Control over the Power of Time?’

’Excellent!’

’As expected. The further I progress, the more outrageous these powers become.’

’I can shorten or extend time...’

Countless possibilities flashed through Chen Xuan’s mind.

’If I use this ability well, it’ll be absolutely heaven-defying.’

"Stone Man, thank you for what you’ve helped me achieve. You can rest in peace now. After you’re dead, I’ll send your entire village to join you in the afterlife. Not a single one will escape!"

Chen Xuan’s face was cold and ruthless.

One of his large hands shot out like lightning, clamped down on the Stone Man’s head, and squeezed with immense force.

"Chen Xuan, spare me! I’m willing to... urgh..."

CRUNCH!!

The head was instantly crushed by Chen Xuan’s grip.

It burst like a rotten watermelon.

Then, he activated the power of the Five Thunders, which instantly enveloped the remains, bombarding them countless times until nothing was left but a thoroughly mangled corpse.

[You have slain a taboo figure, bringing immense satisfaction. +200,000 retribution points!]

Another line of text appeared.

Chen Xuan looked up. He retracted his three heads and six arms, casually tossed aside the Stone Man’s corpse, and turned his gaze to the other battlefield.

「Over there.」

Feng Wuji, his mouth full of blood and his hair a mess, frantically waved the Ten Thousand Souls Banner. It unleashed endless waves of dark light and black energy as he and Qin Xiong remained locked in a desperate struggle.

Behind Feng Wuji, a massive black Dapeng would occasionally flicker into view. Its eyes were icy, its scarlet pupils like portals. Like an assassin moving through the shadows, it would periodically lash out with its sharp claws, swiping at Feng Wuji from behind.

This two-front assault was forcing Feng Wuji into a sorry state.

"So, you like sneak attacks?"

Chen Xuan’s eyes narrowed, a terrifying coldness within them.

Behind him, the Power of the Heavenly Dao surged, pouring into him at an unbelievable speed. This immense celestial might swelled rapidly beneath his skin, making a low thrumming sound.

If one could see inside his body at that moment, they would find that all his blood vessels had turned crimson-gold, with the boundless Power of the Heavenly Dao surging wildly within them.

As Chen Xuan rapidly gathered power, his gaze locked onto the giant black Dapeng, which seemed to sense his attention.

Its scarlet, demonic eyes turned to look coldly at Chen Xuan. At first, it paid him little mind, but then its pupils contracted as it saw the mangled corpse of the Stone Man on the ground.

The black Dapeng’s heart skipped a beat, utterly shocked.

Without a second thought, it immediately began to retreat.

With a flap of its wings, it transformed into a bolt of black lightning, intent on fleeing.

But there was no way Chen Xuan would let it escape.

The moment it noticed him, Chen Xuan’s power accumulation was complete. His entire body transformed into a golden bolt of lightning, piercing the darkness as he shot forward at incredible speed.

Empowered by the Five Thunders, his speed was simply unbelievable.

The Dapeng was known for its extreme speed, capable of covering ninety thousand li with a single flap of its wings. But even that was not enough to outrun the speed of the Five Thunders.

"Get down here!"

As if shattering the limits of time and space, Chen Xuan’s voice boomed. He blazed with golden light, erupting with lightning and fire. His eyes were unspeakably ferocious as he brought a palm crashing down on the Dapeng.

This palm strike!

It carried an immeasurable amount of accumulated power.

Even the Innate Stone Man had been unable to withstand it!

What chance did the Dapeng have?!

In that instant, the Dapeng’s feathers bristled as a sense of mortal danger washed over it. It tried to spin around and defend itself in horror, but Chen Xuan’s palm connected solidly.

SMACK!

Flesh and blood exploded.

Feathers flew everywhere.

Half its body was instantly vaporized into a mist of blood.

It was as if it had been cleaved by a celestial blade.

[You have severely injured a taboo Dapeng. +250,000 retribution points!]
