Chapter 509 - 32: Shock and Awe
At that moment,
Xiao Chenyang seemed to transform into a blazing solar furnace, radiating endless light and heat.
The air seemed to catch fire. The terrifyingly high temperature distorted vast swathes of space, and even the vacuum itself trembled!
Facing this power head-on, Shen Changchuan felt as if he were standing before the sun itself, enduring an unprecedented, searing pressure!
"Die!"
Xiao Chenyang roared and leaped forward.
At the same time,
He punched through the void, blasting a fist toward Shen Changchuan!
The sky boomed as his punch tore a channel of white vapor through the air.
The fist, wreathed in the golden phantom of a dragon, distorted the vacuum and rolled forward like a crushing sun!
Shen Changchuan’s gaze sharpened.
But facing this sky-shattering blow, he felt no fear.
He formed a sword with his fingers and slashed through the void, a move that seemed to realign the sun and moon, to sever Yin and Yang.
In an instant,
CLANG!
A clear sword cry rang out between heaven and earth as a boundlessly brilliant sword light erupted, slashing straight toward Xiao Chenyang!
A Tier Two Top Level Skill at Perfection—
Cyan Wood Cloud-piercing Sword!
The crisp sword gleam pierced a thousand feet of empty space, meeting Xiao Chenyang’s fist head-on!
The next moment,
Diamond met diamond.
A violent collision erupted in an instant!
RUUUUMBLE!!!
The two forces collided, setting off a deafening explosion!
Searing flames and cyan sword light intertwined, forming a massive vortex of energy!
In an instant, an earth-shattering explosion swept across a radius of several hundred feet, churning the surrounding Spiritual Mist into a chaotic tumble!
The others nearby were forced to raise their arms, shielding their faces with their sleeves from the sweeping shockwave to avoid injury.
Fortunately, the space within this Blessed Secret Realm was stable,
And it was further protected by an Array that enveloped the entire area,
Which suppressed the destructive force generated by battles between Cultivators.
Otherwise,
Everyone present would likely have been caught in the blast and injured!
A moment later, the flames and sword light dissipated simultaneously.
Shen Changchuan still stood in his original spot, his robes fluttering, his expression as calm as ever.
Across from him, however, Xiao Chenyang had been forced back several steps, his face a mask of fury.
"It seems you’re not all that impressive after all."
Shen Changchuan spoke faintly, his tone calm as if stating a simple fact.
His attitude was like a resounding slap across Xiao Chenyang’s face.
A savage glint flashed in Xiao Chenyang’s eyes as he sneered,
"Don’t get cocky. That was just a warm-up!"
Before he had even finished speaking,
The aura around him surged once more, erupting like a volcano and sweeping across the heavens!
"Flame Dragon Break!"
Xiao Chenyang bellowed, clapping his palms together and then thrusting them forward!
His boundless Magical Power instantly combusted, transforming into a towering inferno that turned the sky for hundreds of feet around into a sea of fire!
The next moment,
The towering flames coalesced into a gigantic fire dragon that bared its fangs and claws, roaring as it lunged toward Shen Changchuan!
Wherever the fire dragon passed, the air ignited with a CRACKLE, its terrifying presence churning the void into Chaos!
Seeing this, the surrounding disciples quickly retreated, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.
But Shen Changchuan remained where he stood, not moving an inch.
’Innate Divine Techniques?!’
Shen Changchuan’s eyes narrowed as he sensed the familiar aura and pressure emanating from the fire dragon.
’That aura...’
’That pressure...’
’There’s no mistaking it!’
’It’s an Innate Divine Technique!’
And so,
Divine Skill: One Sword, Myriad Phenomena!
Without a shred of hesitation, Shen Changchuan unleashed his own Innate Divine Technique!
In that instant,
Wherever the sword light passed, time and space seemed to freeze.
The incomparably sharp sword gleam, which seemed capable of splitting the world in two, finally collided violently with the blazing fire dragon!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!
Endless flames and Sword Qi intertwined,
Forming a gigantic energy storm that connected heaven and earth and completely scattered the surrounding Spiritual Mist!
The entire Blessed Secret Realm trembled violently at that moment, as if it could not withstand the force of the impact!
The surrounding Immortal Sect Disciples instinctively raised their Magical Power Shields, bracing against the storm-like assault of Magical Power!
Some of the weaker ones,
Were forced to retreat all the way to the edge of the area.
"So strong! With that kind of power, they probably wouldn’t fear a Cultivator at the Ninth Layer Early Stage!"
"The strength of these two is on a whole other level!"
"To be able to do this, they’d be considered prodigies even among the many geniuses of the Immortal Sect!"
"I doubt anyone among us can compare to them!"
Feeling the immense, oppressive power washing over them,
The surrounding Immortal Sect Disciples exchanged shocked looks, communicating via Divine Thought.
The purpose of the Spirit Transformation Pool,
Was primarily to help Cultivators at the Soul Emergence Late Stage break through their Realm bottlenecks.
Furthermore, its effects diminished greatly after the first use. Thus, to avoid wasting resources, the Sect established a rule: every Immortal Sect Disciple could only enter the Spirit Transformation Pool once.
Because of this,
Those who entered the Spirit Transformation Pool this time,
Were either at the Soul Emergence Seventh Layer Peak or the Eighth Layer Peak.
There was no one at the Soul Emergence Ninth Layer Cultivation Realm.
Undoubtedly,
The power displayed by both Xiao Chenyang and Shen Changchuan at this moment,
Already surpassed that of everyone else present!
Even the other two Immortal Sect Disciples who occupied the largest platforms, both at the Soul Emergence Eighth Layer Peak, believed this to be true.
But compared to the others,
The two of them watched the clash between Xiao Chenyang and Shen Changchuan with even graver expressions.
"I’ve heard that Shen Changchuan comes from a remote Small Domain. Although he supposedly became a disciple of Elder Master Wandering Dragon, the Spiritual Qi in his home domain is barren, and their Immortal Dao is backward... I have no idea how he managed to reach this level in just twenty or thirty years!"
"No matter what, I’m afraid we’re in trouble!"
The other person said with a grave expression.
Regardless of who wins or loses, the platform beneath them would likely be taken by the loser of that fight!
No,
If Xiao Chenyang won, he probably wouldn’t just stand by and watch Shen Changchuan try to take their platforms.
He would definitely intervene!
In that case,
There might be a chance for them!
"I’ve heard that Shen Changchuan comes from a remote Small Domain. Although he supposedly became a disciple of Elder Master Wandering Dragon, the Spiritual Qi in his home domain is barren, and their Immortal Dao is backward..."
"In contrast, Xiao Chenyang has been training under Elder Wu Zhen since he was young. His techniques are bound to be stronger, and he even has a higher Cultivation Realm."
"The final victor will most likely be Xiao Chenyang!"
The two conversed in low voices,
The light of hope rekindled in their eyes.
Naturally, Shen Changchuan and Xiao Chenyang, locked in battle, paid no attention to the reactions of the crowd.
At this moment,
Their eyes were only for each other.
Flames and sword light wove a tapestry of destruction. The fire dragon roared, the sword gleam pulsed with Spiritual Power. The two forces tore at and consumed each other in the skies above, as if trying to rip the very world apart!
This continued until all the power was annihilated at once, the fire dragon and sword gleam completely dissolving into an energy storm that swept between heaven and earth!
