Chapter 318 Absolute Crushing
"The Black Dragon Society?"
Yuanzhen muttered these three words, her dough twitching slightly.
He racked his brains, going through the power map of Zhongzhou and even the surrounding areas in his mind, but he had never heard of this name before.
The bald, burly man in front of me exuded a menacing aura and was ruthless. Apart from his superb Vajra Kung Fu, I couldn't see a trace of the compassion of a Buddhist disciple.
What Yuanzhen feared even more was the opponent's fighting instinct, an intuition honed through countless battles and bloodshed, something that could not be acquired through solitary, arduous training.
"Could it be that old scoundrel?"
Yuanzhen's mind flashed with the sinister face of the Crane-Crowned Master, and evil thoughts arose in his heart.
"That old bastard Heding doesn't dare to confront my Vajra Temple head-on, so he hires these desperate thugs to mess with me behind my back?"
Aside from Crane Crest, Yuanzhen couldn't think of anyone else who would resort to such despicable means against him at this critical juncture.
Although this bald man's Vajra Kung Fu cultivation was not as profound as his own, his exquisite control over his divine sense and his keen insight into the flaws in the technique indicated that he was being guided by at least a peak fourth-level Vajra Kung Fu master.
This is definitely not the kind of foundation a wild, independent cultivator could possess.
Chen Yi didn't give Yuanzhen much time to think.
He stomped his foot heavily in the air, creating a visible white shockwave, and his figure approached again like a cannonball.
The wind howled with each punch, each strike landing precisely at the point where Yuanzhen's old strength had just dissipated and new strength had yet to arise.
Chen Yi remained expressionless, but his mind was racing with calculations.
If the Soul Thunder Whip were unleashed, or the power of the Thunder Crystal Marrow were directly detonated, even with Yuanzhen's golden body protecting him, he would have long since become a charred corpse.
But this is a battlefield for Nascent Soul cultivators.
Once lightning magic is used, the violent fluctuations of spiritual energy are extremely difficult to conceal, easily attracting the attention of other powerful individuals.
Before he could overwhelming the Vajra Temple with absolute strength, Chen Yi had to disguise himself as a pure body cultivator.
Conceal your secrets and act discreetly.
Using only the Vajra Technique, even if the Vajra Temple later consulted a great master to deduce the truth, they would only be able to deduce a vague figure of a body cultivator, and would never associate it with Chen Yi, who was skilled in thunder magic.
boom! boom! boom!
The dull thuds of punches landing echoed across the wilderness, like the beating of a broken cowhide drum.
Yuanzhen grew increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed.
His Vajra Indestructible Body had been cultivated to the fourth level, and his physical body was comparable to a top-grade magic weapon, yet at this moment, he was experiencing waves of soreness, numbness, and excruciating pain.
The opponent's punch penetrated his body, causing his internal organs to shift, and each impact caused his blood and qi to surge.
If this continues, the golden body will surely be broken.
The temple has strict rules, and the precious treasures passed down must not be easily depleted of their original essence.
But when you're about to lose your life, who cares about those damn temple rules?
Chen Yi unleashed another sweeping kick, aiming straight for Yuan Zhen's waist and ribs.
Taking advantage of the gap in the parry, Yuanzhen retreated a hundred feet, his left hand suddenly reaching into his robes.
A withered, yellow finger bone appeared in his palm.
The surface of the finger bones is covered with cracks from the passage of time, yet it exudes an ancient and desolate aura.
This is a finger bone relic left behind by a high-ranking monk from Jingang Temple who failed to ascend to immortality ten thousand years ago.
The moment the relic appeared, the spiritual energy within a ten-mile radius instantly solidified.
A blinding golden light burst forth from between the finger bones, and a terrifying pressure surpassing even the most powerful magic weapon descended, crushing all the surrounding rubble into dust.
Yuanzhen held the relic, his entire arm was dyed translucent with golden light, and the veins on his face bulged, making him look ferocious and terrifying.
"I don't care if you're from the Black Dragon Society or the Green Dragon Society!"
Yuanzhen roared, his voice distorted by extreme tension, a madness born from being driven to the brink.
"You dare to covet my Vajra Temple? You think you can devour me? You have no chance!"
He held the relic high, and golden light condensed behind him into a blurry, wrathful Vajra phantom, his voice booming: "If you leave now, I may spare your life! If you insist on fighting again, today I, this monk, will destroy this relic! Let's see whose Vajra is harder!"
This relic is one of the treasures of the Vajra Temple. Once detonated, its power is comparable to a strike from a peak Nascent Soul cultivator, enough to level an area of dozens of miles.
But the cost was equally heavy.
Not only were the relics destroyed, but Yuanzhen, who was the one who detonated them, was at the center of the explosion. Even if he didn't die, his foundation would be completely destroyed, and he would become a cripple.
This is only a deterrent measure unless absolutely necessary.
He's gambling.
I'm betting that the other person knows their stuff, and that they value their life.
Chen Yi stopped a hundred meters away, his eyes slightly narrowed, a barely perceptible glint of light flashing deep in his pupils.
The Eye of Penetrating Emptiness opens.
The world before my eyes instantly disintegrated into countless lines of cause and effect.
He saw the chaotic flow of spiritual energy within Yuanzhen's body, the violent energy contained within the relic, and several possibilities for the future.
Although Yuanzhen's energy was violent, he did not have the decisiveness to truly detonate the relic.
Even if he really went mad and tried to self-destruct, with the predictive ability of the Void Insight Eye, Chen Yi could use the Spatial Thunder Escape Technique to escape ten miles away the instant before the energy went out of control.
The only problem is that it will expose his spatial and lightning abilities, which is a disadvantage for him in hiding his identity.
Since that's the case, then I'll make sure you don't even have time to think about self-destruction.
Chen Yi's lips curled into a cold, hard smile. A flash of lightning appeared beneath his feet, which he forcefully suppressed to within an inch of the soles of his feet.
His figure vanished.
When it reappeared, it was already beside Yuanzhen.
Without any preamble, they went straight into battle.
The golden fist, accompanied by the sound of pure flesh tearing through the air, slammed fiercely towards Yuanzhen's wrist.
"You're asking for it!"
Yuanzhen never expected the other party to be so stubborn, advancing instead of retreating in the face of the threat of the inherited relic.
Left with no other choice, they could only activate the energy within the relic.
It's not about detonating, but about borrowing.
A thick golden light barrier opened from the finger bone, protecting Yuanzhen within it, while beams of golden light shot towards Chen Yi like sharp swords.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Golden light burst forth between heaven and earth, accompanied by a deafening roar.
The two figures collided wildly in mid-air, each contact exploding into a shower of light fragments.
Chen Yi's fist slammed into the light screen, creating ripples.
The golden light emitted from the relic struck Chen Yi, producing a crisp metallic clang. Chen Yi's clothes instantly ripped apart, revealing his muscular upper body.
On the skin's surface, golden light shimmered and flowed endlessly.
That is the indestructible divine power.
But beneath the golden light, a fine crystalline structure could be faintly seen shimmering between the skin and flesh; that was the defensive array constructed by the Thunder Crystal Marrow.
The relic in Yuanzhen's hand was indeed powerful. With each collision, Chen Yi could feel an extremely domineering penetrating force trying to tear apart his defense.
His skin cracked, oozing golden blood, but that was all.
The moment that force penetrated the skin and flesh, it was pulverized by the Thunder Crystal Marrow Array, unable to damage the bones and muscles at all.
In contrast, Yuanzhen, despite having the relic protecting him, fought with extreme frustration.
Under the power of the Void Eye, Yuanzhen's every movement seemed to be in slow motion.
The points where the energy of the relic flows, the moments when the protective light barrier weakens, the gaps in Yuanzhen's breathing—nothing can escape its notice.
Chen Yi was like a meticulous anatomist, always able to find that one and only gap in the midst of a fierce and relentless attack.
Speed up.
A deadly golden light flashed past as he turned to the side.
Turn around.
Avoid the heavy blow that Yuanzhen is about to strike.
An outbreak occurred ahead of schedule.
Chen Yi's fist struck the same spot under Yuan Zhen's ribs precisely before Yuan Zhen's old strength was exhausted, causing Yuan Zhen's attack to miss completely.
Even though Yuanzhen held the inherited relic, he was still beaten so badly that he felt extremely uncomfortable. The feeling of being unable to exert his strength and hitting cotton made him almost vomit blood.
"Get out of my way!"
Yuanzhen roared, disregarding the loss of spiritual energy, and suddenly activated the relic, unleashing a ring of resistance.
Chen Yi leaned back, seemingly forced back, but in reality, he tapped his toes in the air and used the force to fold his body in a strange way.
His whole body was like a fully drawn bow, and his spine cracked with a popping sound.
All the power was concentrated in his right fist.
This is pure physical strength, without any fancy moves, just extreme violence.
Yuanzhen had just released the resistance aura and was in a brief period of paralysis when she was horrified to see the bald figure return, even faster than before!
The fist rapidly magnified in his field of vision.
He instinctively raised his right arm, trying to use the relic in his hand to block.
But Chen Yi had already anticipated his blocking route with this punch. He pressed his fist down slightly, avoiding the hardest part of the relic, and struck Yuan Zhen's forearm ulna.
Bang-!!!
A sickening sound of bones shattering drowned out the roar of the battlefield.
Time seemed to stand still for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, Yuanzhen's entire right arm twisted at a bizarre angle, the protective golden light shattered instantly, and golden-red blood gushed out.
The enormous impact sent Yuanzhen flying like a cannonball. He tumbled more than a dozen times in the air before he could barely regain his balance.
No matter how much Vajra Indestructible or Relics were used to block it, they could not withstand this brutal attack.
Yuanzhen coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face as pale as paper.
He tried to mobilize his spiritual power to heal his injuries, but found that the meridians in his right arm had been completely destroyed by a domineering force. His entire arm was in excruciating pain, and he could no longer use it.
Chen Yi slowly withdrew his fist and stood still. Although the golden light on his body was somewhat dim, his aura remained steady and long.
Several deep wounds, exposing the bone, are healing at a visible speed.
Yuanzhen stared intently at Chen Yi, her anger completely replaced by terror.
He couldn't understand it.
Even a body cultivator of the same level would be severely injured if they withstood the attack of the inherited relic, if not killed. But this person in front of him only suffered superficial wounds and was not seriously injured at all.
"Your Golden Crystal Marrow energy is clearly inferior to mine, so why can't I withstand it?"
Chen Yi did not answer and continued to attack.
Boom!
The loud bang instantly drowned out the howling of the swirling snow.
The explosive golden crystal marrow, compressed to its limit, in Chen Yi's palm was firmly imprinted on Yuan Zhen's back.
A burst of golden light erupted.
Yuanzhen transformed into a golden meteorite that had gone out of control, smashing through the thick ice sheet and plunging deep into the earth.
The hundred-foot-wide ice plain trembled violently, and countless sharp ice shards were shaken into the air, only to be crushed into dust by the subsequent shockwave.
Chen Yi did not stop moving.
While you are sick, I will kill you.
He was enveloped in dazzling golden light as he rushed into the underground through the huge ice hole that had been smashed open.
With a swing of his fists, several more balls of golden light crashed down.
The depths of the ice cave were no longer cold and pale, but were instantly filled with high-temperature golden light, turning it into a crimson red.
The terrifying heat and impact raged within the narrow space, instantly vaporizing the millennia-old, solid ice. The originally narrow ice cave collapsed and melted wildly, transforming in the blink of an eye into a boiling ice lake.
The black rocks, hundreds of feet below, were exposed, covered with spiderweb-like cracks.
Yuanzhen was in that pile of rubble.
Half of his body was a bloody mess, his golden bones were covered in cracks, and his once dignified face was now twisted like a demon.
A deadly chill enveloped his entire body; this was the closest he had ever come to death since he began his spiritual practice.
Can't escape.
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Yuanzhen's eyes after despair.
Since we can't escape, we might as well take someone down with us.
He no longer suppressed the surging blood and qi within his body. Instead, his face contorted with rage as he deliberately detonated the golden marrow energy accumulated in several acupoints near his dantian.
puff!
Several jets of blood spurted from his acupoints.
Using this violent thrust, he transformed into a twisted golden thread, frantically weaving through the cracks in the collapsing ice.
He appeared to be fleeing in a disheveled state, but in reality, his right hand was tightly gripping the relic of inheritance.
The remaining magical power, essence, and even the power gained from burning one's lifespan are being frantically poured into this relic.
On the surface of the relic, the ancient patterns gradually lit up, and a heart-stirring fluctuation was brewing.
He is waiting.
Just when Chen Yi thought victory was in his grasp.
The wind pressure overhead suddenly increased.
Chen Yi broke through the ice and threw a punch, the force of which blocked all of Yuan Zhen's escape routes.
It's now!
Yuanzhen suddenly turned around, his mouth splitting open to reveal a row of bloodstained teeth.
"die!"
He roared, and the relic in his hand burst forth with dazzling golden light, the fluctuations instantly breaking through the limit of the peak of the fourth rank.
This attack, though called a self-destruction, was in reality a sure kill.
They're right there; no one can escape.
Yuanzhen had even seen Chen Yi dissolve in the golden light.
however.
In that instant when the light, powerful enough to melt metal, burst forth.
Yuanzhen saw Chen Yi's eyes.
Those eyes were as calm as an ancient well, showing no panic, only indifference, and even a hint of knowing mockery.
not good.
The thought had barely formed when a thunderclap exploded in Yuanzhen's mind.
It wasn't the sound of thunder as perceived by hearing, but rather a sharp thorn that directly struck the depths of one's soul.
Chen Yi's brow gleamed slightly as he activated the Refining Spirit Technique, sending an invisible soul needle piercing deeply into Yuanzhen's sea of consciousness.
"what!"
Yuanzhen screamed in agony, his sea of consciousness trembled violently, and the divine sense that had been locking onto Chen Yi instantly collapsed.
His vision blurred, and the excruciating pain caused a momentary lapse in his control over his body.
The golden light emanating from the relic in his hand, which was difficult to contain, veered off course.
boom-!
A straight golden line shot out, grazing the hem of Chen Yi's clothes.
This beam of light was indestructible, slicing through the ice beside Chen Yi as easily as cutting tofu.
The ice field, several miles thick, along with the granite mountain below, was instantly sliced apart.
The earth split open into a bottomless, pitch-black chasm, the cut surface as smooth as a mirror, leading straight into the depths of the earth's core.
If it strikes the physical body, even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator will perish.
But if you didn't win, you didn't win.
Chen Yi's figure twisted and turned strangely in the air, easily avoiding the aftershocks.
Yuanzhen stared blankly at the chasm that seemed to cut through the sky.
Despair, like an icy tide, drowned out his last shred of fighting spirit.
