Free Web NovelChapter 155: Chapter 123: Single-handedly Shaking the Heroes
At this moment, atop the giant tree, countless pure white, bowl-sized flowers were in full bloom. Their petals were crystal clear, shimmering with a milky-white halo in the sunlight. freёwebnovel.com
As the mountain wind blew, innumerable specks of pale gold pollen, like fantastical stardust, rose gracefully from the stamens. They danced through the air, casting a hazy, sacred glow over the area.
Even from miles away, Chen Xuan could feel the once-calm molten True Qi within him begin to stir and boil uncontrollably, like hot oil splashed with a spark, conveying a sense of intense longing.
More striking still, beneath the miraculous Ancient Tree of Life, a dozen or so figures darted across a chaotic clearing, clashing fiercely amidst an unending series of explosive sounds.
Clearly, these were the prodigies, all fighting for a favorable position!
"The Ancient Tree of Life..."
A glint appeared in Chen Xuan’s eyes. Without a second thought, he shot off in that direction at extreme speed.
As he rushed forward, terrifying layers of golden True Qi ignited across his body, as if he were cloaked in a fearsome, sacred golden fire. It ultimately erupted like a volcano, impossible to contain.
His speed grew ever faster and more ferocious.
In the end, he was like a streaking meteor.
「...」
Just as everyone was locked in fierce combat.
RUMBLE...
A deep, rolling roar, like muffled thunder, suddenly approached at high speed from the distant sky!
With it came a torrent of heat so intense it was almost tangible, carrying a heart-pounding, ferocious pressure that brutally crushed the treetops as it descended mercilessly upon the area!
The expressions of every prodigy engaged in battle changed. They all simultaneously broke off their attacks and whipped their heads around to look.
The sight before them made everyone’s pupils shrink.
From deep within the forest, a figure as scorching as a meteorite tore through the air, trailing a crimson-gold tail flame dozens of yards long. With an unparalleled, tyrannical momentum, it slammed brazenly toward the densest part of the crowd. Everywhere it passed, treetops bent and snapped with a mournful cry, and the heat warped their vision. It was as if a burning sun had fallen from the heavens!
BOOM!!!
The next moment, the figure leaped high, soaring into the sky in a blinding flash of light that captured everyone’s attention.
Then, the golden figure, carrying a terrifyingly powerful force, smashed directly into the center of the clearing.
THUD!
The ground shook!
The entire open area was trampled as if by a primeval beast. The ground exploded and buckled, sending countless millstone-sized chunks of earth and rock blasting outwards in a ring, swept along by a violent, crimson-gold shockwave! The scorching airflow instantly evaporated all moisture, and some of the nearer plants and trees withered and burst into flames.
Under the force of this terrifying impact, even seasoned masters of the True Qi Fifth Layer like Zhang Yunhe, Ling Feiyu, and Hui Ming had to retreat rapidly, their expressions grave.
The others, with their weaker Cultivation, felt their blood churn in their chests, their faces filled with horror.
At the very center of the blast.
A black-robed youth with wildly dancing ink-black hair stood there. Sheets of golden True Qi blazed on his body, and his powerful, fiery aura radiated an indescribable heat and pressure, like a smoldering volcano.
Everyone’s faces were filled with shock and disbelief.
"True Qi Fifth Layer!"
"He’s at the True Qi Fifth Layer!"
"Chen Xuan! That’s him, Chen Xuan!"
"The Chen Xuan who just sent the Zhao family siblings flying!"
「...」
Everyone’s eyes were wide.
’This guy!’
’When did he reach the True Qi Fifth Layer?!’
’There are only three people here at that realm!’
’But they’re all seasoned experts.’
Zhang Yunhe of the True Martial Sect, Ling Feiyu of the Lingxiao Sect, and Hui Ming of Jingang Temple!
The so-called "seasoned experts" were those who had long since graduated from the Human List, a group of older cultivators!
They had reached the True Qi Fifth Layer through the slow accumulation of years, bit by bit through arduous training.
But Chen Xuan?
’He’s only in his early twenties, and he’s already at the True Qi Fifth Layer?’
’How is that possible?’
’What the hell is the Celestial Secret Pavilion doing?’
’They ranked an absolute monster like him at number twenty?’
No one could believe it.
Chen Xuan’s gaze swept over the crowd like a bolt of cold lightning, finally landing on the heavily injured Shen Qinghan.
Shen Qinghan’s face was completely blank, her mind roaring and buzzing. Her beautiful eyes were wide with extreme shock and confusion.
No one could possibly know how shaken she was in this moment...
’Wasn’t Chen Xuan at the True Qi Fourth Layer before?’
’When did he reach the True Qi Fifth Layer?’
’This is the True Qi Realm! Every minor realm breakthrough requires patient, grinding effort and opportune epiphanies. How could it be so easy? My previous disdain and doubts now seem so laughable, so pathetic, in the face of this majestic, volcano-like aura!’
As for "Mountain Shattering Palm" Shi Pojun, he was even more horrified.
’You’re telling me I have to deal with an enemy like this?’
He had originally been furious that the man had knocked him out of the twentieth spot on the Human List.
But now!
’Furious my ass!’
’With this level of strength, he’ll be ranked in the top ten of the Human List once this is all over!’
’This fucker is a monster!’
The young master of the Sword Sect was trembling, her face fearful as she subconsciously backed away.
’She knew she couldn’t beat Chen Xuan...’
’The crucial thing was, she had long since heard about Chen Xuan’s methods.’
’He liked to strip people naked and hang them up.’
’She was so scared.’
[Detected three people’s mental states collapsing. +20,000 retribution points!]
A line of text floated into view.
"..."
Chen Xuan frowned slightly.
’That’s a bit unexpected.’
’I haven’t even done anything yet, and three people have already broken down.’
’How interesting.’
"Come here."
Chen Xuan looked at Shen Qinghan, his tone calm.
Shen Qinghan’s lips were dry and her pretty face was pale. She subconsciously started walking slowly toward Chen Xuan, and soon positioned herself dutifully behind him.
Chen Xuan’s dark eyes swept over the crowd. With his black hair fluttering and his aura spreading out, he spoke indifferently, "Fighting for a spot at the Ancient Tree of Life, are we? Everyone here, I’ll take you all on. You can come at me together now!"
BOOM!
As if a seal had been completely undone, or a volcano had finally broken through the last of the earth’s crust, the already terrifying crimson-gold flames on Chen Xuan’s body suddenly flared up again. Waves of tangible heat rippled outwards, and the air temperature instantly soared to a point where it stung the skin!
Innate Tyrant Body!
A threefold increase in his aura, unleashed without reservation!
He seemed to transform into a golden deity descended upon the mortal world. The vast, scorching, heavy, and violent pressure washed over everyone like an invisible tsunami, battering their minds and bodies!
It made everyone’s faces fill with horror.
’His aura is still increasing?’
"He... he’s at the True Qi Sixth Layer... No, what realm is this?"
"A Secret Technique? Is he using a Secret Technique?"
「...」
The extremely condensed golden light gave off the feeling that it could incinerate and destroy everything.
But!
’Is he tired of living?’
’Using a Secret Technique so soon?’
’He’s clearly this strong already, why waste his energy like this!’
’What if everyone decides to kite him? What will he do then?’
「...」
