Chapter 593: Chapter 579: War Body Shows Off, Void Assassination!_1

Xiao Chen was on high alert. He was about to exit the Xuanling Mountain Range, yet the warriors from the Yuan Feng Marquis Division hadn’t given up. They were lying in wait for him to emerge!

A few hundred feet ahead of Xiao Chen, a fissure stretched open in the Void, about a foot long. Out stepped an elder carrying an iron sword. That elder was Yuan Hong from the Yuan Feng War Brigade.

Hearing the sound, Xiao Chen’s mind was instantly on edge. No wonder he couldn’t sense him. This venerable figure was hiding in the shadow of the Void, beyond Xiao Chen’s spiritual awareness.

Xiao Chen halted his movement, acknowledging that he had underestimated this warrior’s intelligence. To go far in martial arts and become a truly powerful figure, one had to possess extraordinary means.

The ones who could ascend to Venerable status were absolutely the elite among warriors, cunning as foxes. The most dangerous place is often the safest place. This was something he knew, but others could figure it out as well.

Perhaps when the secret realm was destroyed, the Venerable was too furious to think clearly. But with his determined, he must’ve inevitably guessed his whereabouts once he’d calmed down.

What Xiao Chen didn’t expect was that after failing to find him in the ancient mine, in order to lower his guard, they lay in wait for him at the outermost part of Xuanling Mountain Range. This cunning strategy was truly terrifying!

The Venerable from the Yuan Feng Marquis Division was not far from Xiao Chen. There were numerous warriors in the Xuanling Mountain Range, and if they could identify him, they must possess some special tactic. But all that was insignificant to Xiao Chen now.

"The most dangerous place is indeed the safest place. You truly took that to heart, hiding in the Xuanling Mountain Range for several days without leaking any trace of your presence, evading my investigation. Your concealment technique has aroused my curiosity!"

The elder’s voice radiated cold ruthlessness. His gaze revealed no emotion, as though looking at a dead man. He seemed to have complete control over Xiao Chen’s life and death.

"However, since you snatched an opportunity that belonged to my Yuan Feng Marquis Division, even if your concealment technique surpasses all others in the Great Wasteland, you will still pay the price in blood!"

The icy voice echoed through the mountains, sending chills deep into Xiao Chen’s ears.

"Hand me the treasures you obtained from the secret realm, or I will tear your soul apart and leave you a corpse! The mental will of someone in the Venerable realm is unbeatable for a warrior at a lower level. But for me, it’s useless. Without the will of someone in the Venerable realm, you are no more than an ordinary warrior in the Towering Realm."

"He who is fated gets the treasure. If you wish to know what treasures lie within the secret realm, let’s see if you have the capability!"

Now that he had been recognized, Xiao Chen no longer hid his intentions. Initially, he had planned to enter the Xuanling Mountain Range unnoticed. But he had not expected to discover a secret realm, and now it seemed unlikely that he would get away clean-handed. Xiao Chen had no intentions of hiding anymore. Unable to remain hidden, he chose to take the fight head-on without fear.

Now, his Golden Battle Body had advanced to the sixth level. His level was similar to that of a Venerable, only he lacked the various transformations of the Qi cultivation path. The body cultivation path was about overcoming everything with sheer force.

In the past, Xiao Chen never stood a chance against a Venerable. A few years ago, the Ice Frost Venerable had dealt him a heavy blow; recently, the Ghost Tribe Venerable did the same. Today, he finally had the chance to pit himself against a Venerable!

"Ignorant!"

Xiao Chen’s words enraged Venerable Yuan Hong. Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Hong’s iron sword on his back let out a shrill whine and shone with a rich yellow glow as he clutched it in his hand.

"Yuanling Sword Art, Sword Seal Infinite!"

In an instant, the rusty iron sword emitted a bright, earthy yellow glow, and countless bursts of sword energy blossomed, interlacing into an octagonal seal several feet in diameter.

Above the seal, mysterious runes disappeared and reappeared. This seal cleverly integrated three great mysteries: the Earth, Sealing, and Swordsmanship. The sword seal flew across the Vault of Heaven toward Xiao Chen!

"So this is a Venerable’s move!"

Xiao Chen stood tall with his green battle robe fluttering, as huge as an ancient mountain and radiating a solid aura. Watching the incoming sword seal, his eyes could not help but reflect his awe. A Venerable could effortlessly integrate several profound mysteries into their casual strike, unleashing a power several times stronger.

"But if you think that’s enough to best me, you’re sorely mistaken!"

In Xiao Chen’s eyes, his pupils were as clear as black crystals. The Venerable wanted to seal him. A cold smirk flashed across Xiao Chen’s face.

In the next moment, Xiao Chen’s body erupted with a golden glow. The vitality within his body surged like a tidal wave, roaring out with a thundering sound. His Golden War Bones shone brightly, like golden jades, and his abundant vitality flowed toward his right hand.

"Break!"

Accompanied by a roar, Xiao Chen instantly moved forward. His golden fist exploded with an intimidating aura, resembling a blazing sun, fierce and unyielding. The air in front of him instantly shattered, tearing apart the vacuum. A long trail of white streak appeared in the void and collided with the incoming sword seal.

This was the force solely generated by his physical body, bearing the power to shatter the vacuum.

Boom!

The collision of the golden fist imprint and the sword imprint created a dramatic sound that resonated across the wilderness. The pale yellow sword imprint shattered under Xiao Chen’s powerful punch, creating an earth-shattering noise, with the waves of the impact spreading for miles.

What!

"How is this possible!"

The shattered sword imprint brought a strong color of shock to Yuan’s eyes. He could clearly perceive that Xiao Chen had managed to shatter his sword imprint, which contained the profound mysteries of three different kinds of combat essence, with only his body’s vitality.

"Could it be that you have chosen the path of the Body Becoming Emperor?"

A roar erupted from Yuan Venerable’s mouth. At this time, he had no choice but to believe that an ordinary warrior in his eyes, who was only at the fifth level of the Towering Realm, could resist the conquest of a venerable being with just his physical strength!

"What if you chose the path of body refinement? The sword imprint was just a casual strike of mine, I want to see how many of my swords your body can withstand. Watch me break your war body!"

Moments later, Venerable Yuan Hong had already reacted. He was only momentarily unsettled because Xiao Chen had suddenly demonstrated a remarkably strong physique. His eyes revealed a frenzied color. At this moment, Xiao Chen’s strength was enough to make him take him seriously.

"Primordial Spirit Sword Secret, Sealing the World!"

The iron sword in Venerable Yuan Hong’s hand burst forth with a more dazzling earthy yellow power. Where the edge of the sword pointed, a hundred-zhang mountain manifested, releasing a significant profound aura. Even more remarkable was the rich presence of sealing profound mysteries.

The next moment, the mountain fell, aiming to crush Xiao Chen completely!

"Bring it on!"

With a flicker of thought, Xiao Chen let out a long cry, his entire body moved, surprisingly going straight up to greet the hundred-zhang ancient mountain. He punched out again, nine successive punches filled with vitality. The nine streams of vitality intertwined in the void to form a force. It was like nine silhouettes simultaneously punching, their vitality filled with golden light illuminating half of the sky vault.

Xiao Chen’s whole body was shining with divine lights, akin to a gigantic furnace. The rolling hot blood reflected against the heavens, giving off heat as potent as molten lava.

This punch could be described as Xiao Chen’s strongest. His punch painted the sky in a bloody hue, his punch crossed hundreds of zhang in the vacuum, hitting the earth-yellow mountain, even passing straight through.

The hundred-zhang seal mountain, emitting endless profound mysteries, suddenly stagnated in the void. Then, it erupted with a loud noise, exploding all at once.

"Impossible. I have already comprehended the three profound mysteries to the great perfection realm, and their mutual integration has even reached fifty percent. How can you break them so easily?"

Unconcerned by the roar of Venerable Yuan Hong, Xiao Chen was surrounded by surging vitality, and the aura of his fists was like an ocean, unfurlingly crashing down on him.

No fancy moves that shook the world, but each punch carried the power to tremble the heavens. Every punch was as if a mountain was crashing down; the punch sound was thunderous, piercing the surrounding void with holes.

The whistling sword energy constantly neutralized Xiao Chen’s punching intent. Xiao Chen knew that he now merely resisted the venerable’s conquest with physical strength, yet he only stood on an invincible ground. His newly promoted Golden Battle Body was not yet powerful enough to destroy everything.

If it weren’t for a real life-and-death battle, where lives are staked for fame, it would be impossible to do anything to Venerable Yuan Hong before him. After all, Venerable Yuan Hong wasn’t a fool. He wouldn’t shirk or dodge, but would directly withstand Xiao Chen’s attacks.

Facing Xiao Chen’s punch, a black hole of fists appeared all around, and Venerable Yuan Hong felt incredibly stifled. He had ascended to the Venerable Realm for a hundred years and was now at the early peak state of the sixth layer of the Towering Realm.

At this level, Combat Qi is not the only way to enhance strength. Understanding the mysteries is equally imperative. However, the profound mysteries of earth and seal he understood could not trap Xiao Chen at all.

In the Great Wasteland, the Dao of the Body is not weaker than the Martial Art of cultivating profound Combat Qi. He unexpectedly encountered it, and with it, what seemed like a revered dignity could not harm him. If he doesn’t dodge in time, his entire body will be smashed.

Facing the surging sword energy everywhere, Xiao Chen’s battle body was also pushed to the extreme. At this time, within a hundred zhang range between the two, an endless space turbulence had already formed.

Under the intertwining of sword energy and blood energy, space was constantly twisting, collapsing, and even in the collapsed space, a silver space storm was formed, sweeping towards Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen’s battle body instantly burst forth with golden light, and at the same time, his whole body retreated violently. Although his Golden Battle Body had a formidable defense and an extremely powerful ability to recover, it didn’t mean he could be reckless, disregarding any attack without care!

Vibrate!

Just at the moment when Xiao Chen had lurched backward, a whisper-like sword squeal rang out in the Void World. Behind Xiao Chen, space twisted, and a silver war sword pierced through the void. Circled with endless Death Qi, it drilled towards Xiao Chen’s back!
