Free Web NovelChapter 1689: Chapter 1686: Ancient Sword Stele!
Chen Yanshou’s speed in escaping was extremely fast, having already broken through the thrice supersonic barrier.
However, Li Chen pursued even faster, reaching directly four times the speed of sound, with his limit speed even breaking through five times the speed of sound.
Within just a few breaths, Li Chen had already blocked Chen Yanshou’s path.
Seeing Li Chen relentlessly pursuing him like a leech attached to the bone, Chen Yanshou couldn’t help but become furious.
Seizing a moment when Li Chen was unprepared, he suddenly turned around, raised his sword, and thrust forward, shooting out a brilliant rainbow straight towards Li Chen’s Life Gate.
Seeing this, Li Chen quickly brought his hands together, forming seals, layering golden marks one atop another.
"Rumble!"
This sword strike from Chen Yanshou, powerful enough to pierce through a Middle Mahayana Cultivator, merely penetrated a few layers of marks without being able to go deeper.
Watching the fierce and unmatched Sword Intent, a cold, confident smile appeared on the corner of Li Chen’s mouth.
"With just this bit of Sword Dao proficiency, you dare show off in front of me? Truly reckless!"
As his words, full of murderous intent, still hung in the air, Li Chen reached into the void, grabbing the Seven-star Dragon Abyss.
Blazing red flames wrapped around the blade, roaring out as it went straight for Chen Yanshou’s Life Gate.
Seeing this, Chen Yanshou was greatly horrified, having no choice but to switch from offense to defense, trying desperately to block Li Chen’s lethal strike.
Given Chen Yanshou’s cultivation, even in haste, blocking this sword strike from Li Chen was not an impossible feat.
Li Chen knew very well that trying to kill a top-level power like Chen Yanshou, with just this sword strike, was a complete pipe dream.
So, after this sword slash, while Chen Yanshou was fully defending,
Li Chen suddenly spread his five fingers, quickly clenched them, with lightning and golden light swirling between the gaps, radiating domination.
Immediately, his entire body took the shape of a drawn bow, using his fist as the arrow point, suddenly shooting out explosively.
"Crack!"
A thousand layers of void were instantly torn apart, creating explosive ripping sounds.
Seeing Li Chen capable of such terrifying killing moves, Chen Yanshou was greatly startled.
However, Chen Yanshou was not someone ordinary. Just relying on these methods wasn’t enough to destroy him.
Chen Yanshou’s gaze deepened, shooting out a cold intent from his eyes, he shouted fiercely.
"Sword Stele, Dominate the Heavens!"
With Chen Yanshou’s shout, an ancient inscribed stele broke through the skies.
The stele was surrounded by extremely terrifying Space Laws.
When Li Chen’s fist struck the Sword Stele, it instantly became incomparably heavy, seemingly frozen in place, unable to advance even a fraction.
Realizing this, Li Chen was greatly alarmed, his body retreating swiftly, drawing a string in the air.
This ancient Sword Stele was simply too terrifying, it seemed to contain the law powers of a Tribulation Crossing Great Ability.
Thinking of "Tribulation Crossing Great Ability," a shiver ran through Li Chen involuntarily, his expression turning incomparably grave.
Although Chen Yanshou seemed quite disheveled, holding the ancient Sword Stele, he couldn’t help but laugh heartily up to the sky.
"Li Chen, how does my Sword Stele taste?"
Li Chen steadied his mind, sneering coldly: "Hmph, it’s just a broken stele left by a tribulation transcender, nothing to boast about!"
Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, Chen Yanshou first felt a surge of anger.
After anger came shock, and then fear.
Ever since fortuitously acquiring the Sword Stele, Chen Yanshou had always treated it as life itself.
But to Li Chen, it was just a broken stone stele, how could he not be infuriated?
The shock was due to Li Chen immediately identifying it as a broken stele and not a complete one.
After the shock, there came fear.
Li Chen had just mentioned "tribulation transcender," and his tone was dismissive.
Regardless of whether Li Chen did this deliberately or unintentionally revealed his true feelings, this bravery alone was enough to terrify him.
Chen Yanshou’s eyes were bloodshot, like a furious beast, he roared hysterically.
"Who exactly are you?"
A mocking smile tugged at the corner of Li Chen’s mouth, as he coldly replied, "Who I am isn’t important, what’s important is today, Chen Yanshou, you shall perish, vanish completely!"
Hearing Li Chen’s words of utter arrogance, Chen Yanshou was completely incensed.
"Arrogant brat, even if I perish today, I will drag you down with me. We shall go down together!"
Facing the furious Chen Yanshou, in the depths of Li Chen’s starry, bright eyes, there remained only disdain.
"Hmph, you think you can rely on a broken stone stele to end up in mutual destruction with me?"
Chen Yanshou was consumed by rage, his face turning red, unable to utter another word.
Immediately, he raised the broken Sword Stele high, transforming it into a towering mountain, ready to suppress Li Chen.
Seeing this, Li Chen didn’t hesitate, immediately summoning the Jiuzhou Divine Tripod, ramming it towards the broken Sword Stele.
"Boom!"
The broken Sword Stele and the Jiuzhou Divine Tripod collided in mid-air, like two planets crashing, exploding with a sound echoing through the sky.
The light from the explosion turned the ink-black universe into stark white.
Even nearby asteroids were shaken off their original paths by the impact.
Though the ancient Sword Stele was a broken thing, being a legacy of a Tribulation Crossing Great Ability, the Space Law it held was extremely daunting.
Therefore, Li Chen gained no advantage from this collision.
The ancient Sword Stele’s light remained dazzling, while the Jiuzhou Divine Tripod had dimmed, like a falling meteor.
Seeing himself at an absolute advantage, Chen Yanshou’s face overflowed with pride. Even his shriveled cheeks twitched from excitement.
"Li Chen, now do you understand the might of my Sword Stele?"
Li Chen took back the Jiuzhou Divine Tripod, speaking in a plain, calm tone: "I said, it’s just a broken stone stele!"
Upon hearing Li Chen’s words again, Chen Yanshou was once more consumed by rage.
"Hmph, at the brink of death, you still talk tough. Let’s see if your mouth is sharper or the Sword Stele stronger?"
As he spoke, Chen Yanshou roared to the sky, infusing all his Spiritual Power into the ancient Sword Stele continuously.
However, this time, no matter what, he couldn’t lift the Sword Stele.
Initially, he thought perhaps there was something wrong with his magic spell.
But even after continuously casting spells several times, the result was still the same.
What terrified him most was the shocking discovery that the ancient Sword Stele seemed to be ravenously devouring the Spiritual Power contained within his body...
