Chapter 233 - 139: Fierce Battle
On the vast, wide arena stage, Wu Wuji suddenly felt a sharp, piercing danger at his back.
His pupils constricted slightly.
He spun around in an instant with astonishing speed.
Gathering his vast and heavy True Yuan, he threw a ferocious punch that tore through the air, smashing with the force of Taishan’s Mountain-Suppressing Power into Gu Yun’s terrifying, thunderous fist—a blow as dreadful as Celestial Punishment.
BOOM!
The two terrifying fists collided in mid-air.
The impact instantly set off a deafening roar.
In that moment, space itself seemed to shatter like glass.
Endless torrents of energy erupted from the void, surging forth like ravenous beasts.
It was a terrifying sight to behold!
The entire world seemed to heave and shudder violently, like a boundless, churning tsunami.
The massive arena stage teetered, looking as if it might completely collapse and shatter at any second!
This hasty defense from Wu Wuji lasted for less than a single breath.
He felt an overwhelming force transmit through his fist—the pure, ultimate Power of Destruction from the Thunder, and a monstrously terrifying might.
The power gap between them wasn’t enormous. But how could Wu Wuji’s hasty reaction possibly defend against the terrifying, thunderous might of Gu Yun’s meticulously prepared strike?
Soon,
Wu Wuji thought, ’This is bad!’
The next instant,
BANG!
With a thunderous roar,
Wu Wuji was sent flying backward like a cannonball,
hurtling through the air.
He didn’t manage to regain control until he was a great distance away, nearly at the edge of the arena, where he stomped hard on the empty air to brake his momentum.
He cut a rather pathetic figure.
He glanced behind him; he had nearly been blasted off the stage entirely.
Then, his eyes fell on Gu Yun once more, a trace of apprehension in his gaze.
’This man is truly terrifying!’
’He turned the tables in a single instant.’
’Now, I’m actually at a disadvantage.’
’If this keeps up, I might even lose!’
’How is this possible?’
’I, Wu Wuji, will never lose to someone in a lower Realm than me!!’
At this thought,
an even more turbulent aura surged from Wu Wuji’s body.
Its terrifying pressure twisted the very space around him.
Then,
a Battle Halberd, etched with arcane runes, materialized in his palm.
His burly, muscle-bound frame, now armed with the Battle Halberd,
instantly exuded a boundless, oppressive aura!
The next instant,
a sharp light flashed in Wu Wuji’s eyes.
"You are strong!!"
"Worthy of my full strength!"
The moment his words fell,
VMMMM!
The arcane Battle Halberd began to vibrate,
letting out a clear, ringing hum.
In an instant, a terrifying will to fight swept across the world!
The next instant,
Wu Wuji stomped on the air, shattering space itself into fragments. He then transformed into a golden meteor, tearing through the sky and leaping to the apex of the heavens.
A Heaven-Reaching Halberd Intent erupted from within him, threatening to tear a hole through the very sky!
He swung the Battle Halberd, viciously cleaving downward with a massive beam of Halberd Light.
The immense, heavy, and utterly domineering Halberd Light formed a golden crescent moon, radiating a dazzling brilliance that illuminated every corner of the world.
It then shot across the sky, seemingly cleaving through all of existence and splitting space in half.
Then, it descended upon Gu Yun with overwhelming force!
’As expected of the tenth-ranked expert on the Profound Celestial List.’
’He’s terrifyingly strong!’
Gazing up at the sky-piercing Halberd Light—a golden crescent moon tearing through space as it descended upon him—
Gu Yun couldn’t help but marvel.
’But so what!’
’My journey is still long.’
’I can’t possibly!’
’I can’t just stop here!!’
An astonishing aura erupted from Gu Yun, its terrifying presence instantly distorting the space around him.
A glint as sharp as a saber’s edge flashed in his eyes, like a blade of light cutting through the dim sky, shining with unprecedented brilliance.
With a wave of his hand,
light flashed,
and the Flame Soul Thunder Saber, crackling with lightning, appeared in his grasp.
VMMMM! VMMMM! VMMMM!
The Flame Soul Thunder Saber in his palm trembled incessantly, as if overcome with excitement, letting out a cry that echoed to the heavens.
The next instant,
Gu Yun unleashed a Heaven-Reaching Saber Intent.
The terrifying Saber Intent seemed poised to shatter everything in its vicinity!
SWOOSH!
Then, Gu Yun swung his saber in an upward, horizontal arc.
A blade of light, infused with Saber Intent and impossibly sharp, suddenly ripped through the void. It was like a bolt of blue lightning tearing through the dim world, erupting in mid-air with a blindingly brilliant glow!
The Saber Intent shot toward the nine heavens. A saber beam thousands of yards long tore through layer upon layer of space, as if to cleave through any obstacle. Like a meteor from beyond the heavens, it surged overwhelmingly toward the moon-like Halberd Light above!!
BOOM!
The two supremely powerful attacks—the Halberd Light and the saber beam—collided violently in mid-air,
instantly triggering a world-shaking explosion,
like two planets colliding,
bursting forth with infinite power!
The two attacks intertwined madly in the sky, emitting a brilliant light that enveloped the entire world!
HISS...
"Is... is this still the True Martial Realm...?"
"I’m afraid they’re already touching upon the Tongxuan Realm..."
In the spectator stands surrounding the vast arena, someone stared, dumbfounded, their mouth agape and their face a mask of utter shock.
"Senior Brother Gu is barely even trying, and it’s already beyond what we could ever achieve."
"I thought I was overestimating Senior Brother Gu, but it turns out I was severely underestimating him..." an Inner Sect Disciple in a white robe marveled.
"They’re too strong.
Perhaps... we’ll never even be able to glimpse their backs for the rest of our lives."
Disciples from other Sects saw this, their worlds broadened, and they couldn’t help but cry out in awe.
Far off in the sea of people, a man in a black Profound Robe watched. He had a sturdy build, dark hair, and a resolute face, with an air of unshakeable composure about him. As he gazed at the god-like figure on the vast arena stage, he couldn’t help but sigh in his heart:
