A shriveled fist looked somewhat amusing, but the power of the laws attached to his punch distorted space, making the world seem unreal.
"Boom!"
Long Chen swung his blade to block. With a loud explosion, the void was shattered. Long Chen and the ancient corpse of the Immortal King under Ku Wuya's control were sent flying backward simultaneously, both crashing hard into the chain barrier but being bounced back.
People were shocked to discover that the Immortal King corpse's fist had only a thin white line, carved by Long Chen with a single strike. Long Chen's strike had the power to shatter the heavens, yet it couldn't cut through the corpse's skin.
The younger generation of experts all stared at the ancient corpse of the Immortal King in terror, unable to imagine how it could be so terrifying.
The elder generation of Divine Lords all stared at Long Chen in shock, unable to believe how Long Chen had survived the pressure of the Immortal King.
You have to know, the Immortal King's ancient corpse is perfectly preserved, and its fist still bears the life rune from when he was alive. Judging by its attire, it's definitely an ancient corpse. After the erosion of time, it still survives, which means the Immortal King's body was absolutely terrifying in life—otherwise, he wouldn't have been treated as a treasure by Ku Wuya.
Ku Wuya's soul entered the ancient corpse of the Immortal King, merging his own essence blood into it as well. He could unleash part of the Immortal King's innate pressure, which was enough to annihilate all experts below the Four Extremes Realm. Even Divine Lord Realm experts could only flee upon seeing him. Could it be that Long Chen was unafraid of any pressure?
Although Gui Yun also carried the pressure of a Realm King, it was only a trace of aura. The ancient corpse of the Immortal King controlled by Ku Wuya contained the true life runes of an Immortal King.
Although Long Chen blocked the strike, he was left with multiple wounds. Clearly, this strike had hurt him, and Bai Shishi and the others felt their hearts clench.
"Kill!"
Ku Wuya stepped through the void, covering hundreds of miles in a single step, like a bolt of lightning charging toward Long Chen. With a wave of his large hand, the spiked club flew into his grasp and charged at Long Chen. Long Chen snorted coldly, swinging his long blade, sending countless blade shadows flying toward him.
"Boom boom boom... blades
and clubs clashed, metal clashed, light pierced the sky, tearing through the void, shaking people's eardrums with intense pain, as if their souls were being torn apart. Yet people still desperately focused to watch, because countless people would never witness such a battle of prodigies. They didn't want to miss a single detail, which was crucial for their future cultivation path. It is extremely helpful.
"Boom!"
The two exchanged hundreds of moves in a row. With a violent explosion, Long Chen and Ku Wuya were separated. At this moment, Long Chen was covered in blood, with multiple wounds splitting open and flesh turned out, looking extremely terrifying.
"Long Chen, are you still being so stubborn? You destroyed my body, and my path of cultivation was destroyed by you. I will make you wish you were dead. If anyone dares to interfere, I will perish with them. "Ku Wuyai wielded a wolf-tooth club, roaring toward the sky, his face twisted like a ghost, his voice filled with endless resentment.
People were stunned—how could his path of cultivation be ruined? Later, upon reflection, they seemed to understand: Ku Wuyai's soul had completely merged into the Immortal King's ancient corpse. Influenced by the corpse's life runes, he could only cultivate through this corpse.
Moreover, the cultivation path he took had to follow the ancient corpse's path. Ku Wuya already had his own cultivation path, but suddenly changing it, to break through the ancient corpse, he had to follow its path and break through its original realm to break free from its constraints and seek a new physical body.
To walk someone else's path and reach a higher realm than others is nearly impossible—almost impossible. So by destroying Ku Wuyai's body, Long Chen effectively fixed his cultivation ceiling in advance—he would never be able to break through to the Immortal King realm.
For an ordinary person, their lifelong goal might be the Divine Lord Realm, but for a peerless prodigy like Ku Wuya, there must be even higher ambitions. Now, knowing their ultimate limit, it's like someone who knows their death time in advance—all their efforts become meaningless. For a peerless prodigy, this is the most unacceptable thing.
Ku Wuya's roar was also a warning to Gui Yun. If Gui Yun dared to interfere in killing Long Chen, since he was already in this situation, he would give up and kill Gui Yun as well.
Gui Yun stood at a distance, his face also somewhat grim. He wanted to kill Long Chen too, but Ku Wuya had already gone mad. Unless he could kill both Ku Wuya and Long Chen together, he would never avenge this slap.
After several twists and turns in a great battle, reaching such a point was something no one could have imagined. Such a terrifying monster, Ku Wuya, had lost his physical body and his future. The price of this battle was enormous.
"Whoosh"
Watching Ku Wuyai roar at the sky, seemingly filled with endless resentment, Long Chen lazily slung the black long blade over his shoulder, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, then slowly opened them, shook his head, and said:
"Isn't it too early to talk about this now? Don't you understand yet? Why would I take on two at once? I already said, I'm afraid that after I kill one of you, the other will escape. Have you all forgotten?
Alright, that's about enough. I've reached the limits of my body. With my healing speed, I should be able to hold on. Since that's the case, let's end this boring battle. As
Long Chen finished speaking, the aura he had been releasing wildly around him slowly faded away, leaving no trace behind. He seemed to have given up fighting and returned to his usual self.
"I hate your expressionless face, talking nonsense to yourself. Die!"
Ku Wuya roared, gripping his spiked club, stepping hundreds of miles away. Runes lit up all over his body as he smashed fiercely toward Long Chen. This time, it seemed he was determined to settle the outcome with a single move.
Facing Ku Wuyai's full-force strike, Long Chen slowly raised his black long blade. Without a sound, without any sign of the sign, he slashed down with a plain and unremarkable stroke.
"Boom!"
Just as everyone thought Long Chen was about to be killed, the black long blade in Long Chen's hand struck the spiked club. Countless runes lit up on the blade, and with a thunderous crash, to the shock of the crowd, Ku Wuya's body shot out like a meteor, trailing its long tail and crashing hard into the chain net. He had smashed a huge hole in the circular barrier, and the entire barrier was deformed.
Moreover, people were shocked to discover that the heavy treasured weapon in Ku Wuya's hand, the wolf-tooth club, was only half left. For a moment, everyone present felt a chill down their spines and turned to look at Long Chen.
