Chapter 189: Chapter 173: Challenging Prince Nanyang’s Fist
WHOOSH... WHOOSH... WHOOSH...
On Wuliang Mountain, at the 2,200-zhang mark.
All kinds of Divine Light surged violently, and the Five Elements Magnetic Power had almost become tangible.
He hadn’t even set foot inside.
Yet he could already feel a weight as heavy as a vast ocean or a deep abyss, along with a grim, world-obliterating killing intent that permeated everything.
WHOOSH...
Wu Dao let out a soft breath. His expression was calm, not changing in the slightest, as he lifted his foot and stepped directly into the surging, lightless, multicolored ocean.
He could feel it.
The higher he climbed, the more tenuous the affinity the Five Elements Primordial Magnetism had for him became, and the harder it was to command and control.
Ultimately, while the essence of his Life Primordial Magnetism was high-level within the path of the Magnetic Field, his current capacity was still too small.
He was nowhere near the level required to challenge the authority left by the patriarch of Martial King Mountain, to change the will and duty of the Royal Artifact Wuliang Mountain, or to force it to bow in submission.
This meant that the ’backdoor’ he had been using would gradually close as he ascended, forcing him to bear the pressure head-on.
However, Wu Dao had nothing to fear.
The suppressive power of Wuliang Mountain primarily acted upon the physical body.
With his physical body and his control over the Magnetic Field Power, his limit would far exceed anything the people of Martial King Mountain could imagine!
BZZZT!!
With a single step, the world turned upside down!
The moment he stepped into the 2,200-zhang domain,
a pressure as heavy as a mountain and as vast as the sea bore down on Wu Dao’s body and soul from all directions.
It weighed him down, stifling his qi and blood, tensing his flesh and bone, and causing his body to bow slightly. Even the flow of his Spiritual Thoughts grew somewhat sluggish.
But...
’Is that all?’
BZZZZ—CRACKLE!
A torrent of pure gold magnetic currents erupted from his pores like a furious dragon leaving its nest, forming a solid Primordial Magnetic Gang Shield. The moment it expanded, all the worldly pressure was crushed and repelled.
The instant the Primordial Magnetic Gang Shield manifested, the immense Magnetic Field Power caused Wuliang Mountain’s attitude toward Wu Dao to vacillate between affinity and hostility.
WHOOOSH...
The storm of Divine Techniques—covering all directions, utterly explosive and domineering, a kaleidoscope of colors and radiances—also fell into slight disarray.
Most of the Divine Techniques’ power began to turn on itself, with only a small fraction striking Wu Dao’s Primordial Magnetic Gang Shield. It created ripples like those on water, which were basically negligible.
’He can even control and subvert Wuliang Mountain’s Magnetic Field?’
「At the foot of Wuliang Mountain.」
Qiu Tianjing and Elder Wu gazed at the golden sun that had lit up within the five-colored ocean and took a deep breath.
At that moment, the same thought surfaced in both their minds.
If Wu Dao’s strength were to reach the level of a Daoist Embryo Great Divine Ability User, and he used this same technique, would Wuliang Mountain directly ’betray’ Martial King Mountain and become his personal property?
’It’s not just possible!’
’He could definitely do it!’
Wu Dao was the perfect nemesis for Wuliang Mountain!
’Thankfully...’
’This nemesis isn’t standing in opposition to Martial King Mountain.’
"He should be reaching his limit."
Elder Wu stroked his sloppy beard, his gaze fixed on the great golden electromagnetic sun whose ascent was gradually slowing. He subconsciously let out a sigh of relief.
He could sense that the higher Wu Dao went, the less his strange ability affected Wuliang Mountain. Unless he stopped, he would eventually have to face Wuliang Mountain’s torment head-on.
But even so, the domain Wu Dao had now set foot in was terrifying enough—
2,200 zhang!
The domain where Prince Nanyang had been stopped at the Celestial Human Level!
But the situations for the two of them were completely opposite.
Back then, Prince Nanyang had been utterly battered in this domain, unable to advance a single step, and was even severely injured and knocked unconscious.
The successor, Wu Dao, however, still stood with his spine ramrod straight!
"Taiping Fist..."
「Wuliang Mountain, 2,200 zhang.」
Wu Dao paused his steps, his gaze peering deep into the storm of multicolored Divine Light.
There stood a blood-stained stone stele.
The expert’s mark it carried was relatively weak, yet it was like a great sun rising in the sky, releasing a magnificent Fist Dao Will that shone brilliantly, dispelling endless suffering and darkness.
A Divine Power Domain!
The one who left a stele with their Fist Dao Will—their identity was already obvious. Prince Nanyang!
The Twelfth Floor of the Main Path!
The Twelve Floors of Fist Intent!
He had reached the absolute peak of the Heavenly Human Domain!
But Wu Dao believed that Prince Nanyang must have also possessed considerable attainments in the Transverse Refining Dao.
Otherwise, relying on his Main Path Fist Intent alone, his physical body would have been crushed flat at 2,100 zhang!
’Cultivating three paths simultaneously... And it seems he was advancing in all of them at once.’
’Such world-class talent and aptitude for the Dao...’
’He is truly worthy of his title as a peerless lord of this age.’
"Kings do not meet. If they do, a contest is inevitable!"
Wu Dao’s eyes narrowed slightly, the corners of his mouth curling up.
His golden pupils were swiftly consumed by a black abyss as he briefly entered the Divine Heavenless State. Releasing his full power without reservation, he took a step, clenched his fist, and threw a punch toward the stele left by Prince Nanyang!
He wanted to see—since both were at the Heavenly Human Peak Domain—who between him and Prince Nanyang was stronger, and who was weaker, in terms of the Fist Dao alone!
BOOM—!!
CRACKLE!!
One punch, and the heavens and earth changed!
It was clearly visible even from the foot of the mountain. freewebnσvel.cѳm
Following Wu Dao’s punch, a Fist Dao Will as majestic as Celestial Might erupted like countless thunderous volcanoes, surging to the heavens and transforming into a twelve-layered sea of purple Celestial Punishment thunder that descended upon the mortal world!
That’s right!
A twelve-layered sea of Fist Intent!
Under the enhancement of the Divine Heavenless State, which liberated three hundred percent of his body’s functions,
Wu Dao’s Thunder Strike Dominating Whale Fist Intent, originally at the Ninth Floor, explosively surged, rocketing into the same Twelfth Floor domain that Prince Nanyang had once reached!
Both at the Twelfth Floor!
Who was stronger, and who was weaker?
A single punch would reveal all!
RUMBLE—
WHOOOOOSH!
Empowered by an infinite Battle Intent,
the twelve-layered sea of Thunder Strike Dominating Whale Fist Intent roiled with thunderous storms. It was as if the heavens themselves were endlessly enraged, unleashing a torrent of frenzied lightning from a bursting Celestial River to pass judgment upon the world!
One after another, thunder-whales dove down, flooding the heavens and earth in all directions, suppressing the stele left by Prince Nanyang with the utmost tyrannical, fierce, and wild posture!
「At the foot of the mountain.」
