Chapter 475: Chapter 154: Flesh Shakes a Profound Weapon, the Might of Breaking the Limit Revealed; Demon Suppression Crushes the Fiery Sun, An Eye for an Eye

The White Snake cried out in alarm, but before she could finish, Chu Fan had already grabbed the Cyan Snake by the collar and tossed her aside.

WHOOSH! A streak of cyan light arced through the air, landing hard on the edge of the Martial Arts Arena.

A dull THUD was followed by Xiaoqing’s furious cursing from afar. "Damn it! You’re way too rough!"

Chu Fan paid her no mind, turning to Mo Yunzi. His tone remained flat. "Use a different Profound Weapon. Let’s continue."

"He... he wants to go again? And with a different Profound Weapon?" The White Snake’s lip twitched. ’Everything I’ve seen today is beyond my comprehension.’

Mo Yunzi took a deep breath, stood up, and picked up the Lower-Grade Profound Weapon longsword. Steeling herself, she once again slashed at Chu Fan!

CLANG!

The massive sound was deafening...

This time, the Lower-Grade Profound Weapon left a clear white mark on Chu Fan’s shoulder, but still failed to break his skin.

Instead, the webbing between Mo Yunzi’s thumb and forefinger split open. Blood dripped down the hilt, and the Profound Weapon flew from her grasp. It landed with a CLATTER, sticking into the ground some distance away, its blade still quivering.

The Cyan Snake, who had just limped back, froze on the spot at this sight, her mouth agape and speechless.

Chu Fan wanted to test himself further, but he saw that Mo Yunzi had no higher-grade weapons.

He pondered for a moment, then took out a Five Elements Cauldron and handed it to her.

Mo Yunzi took the cauldron, her eyes staring blankly. Her breathing suddenly quickened...

’This was the High-Grade Profound Weapon that had sealed Mo Daozi and that burly Demon Race man!’

’Its power was countless times greater than a Lower-Grade Profound Weapon!’

"I should be able to take it. Give it a try. 50% Power will be enough," Chu Fan said.

"Sir, this is a High-Grade Profound Weapon... What if I start with 30% power?" Mo Yunzi’s voice trembled, her heart still filled with worry.

"No more talk. Use 50% Power." Chu Fan’s tone left no room for argument. "A full-power blow might injure me, but it won’t be serious."

Resigned, Mo Yunzi could only grip the small cauldron tightly, channeling the Primordial Qi from her body into it.

In an instant, the cauldron’s body swelled, transforming into a Giant Cauldron over ten feet tall that hovered in the air.

The cauldron’s body shimmered with the Spiritual Light of the Five Elements—Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. Its imposing aura made the Cyan Snake and White Snake’s hearts tighten. They quickly retreated to the side, holding their breath.

BOOM!

With the strike, a heaven-shaking sound erupted. Mo Yunzi, along with the cauldron, was sent flying by a ferocious rebound force, her body soaring backward like a kite with a snapped string.

With a thought, Chu Fan controlled the Five Elements Cauldron, making it trace a gentle arc through the air to steadily catch her falling form, sparing her the pain of another fall.

Watching this, the White Snake’s mouth twitched repeatedly. She muttered, "This guy... he’s not human! Definitely not! That was a High-Grade Profound Weapon!"

By now, the loud noises from the Martial Arts Arena had startled the members of the Seven Stars Gang.

Fortunately, Cao Feng and the others were already aware of Chu Fan’s extraordinary strength. When the first boom sounded, they had dispatched men to secure the perimeter of the Martial Arts Arena, stopping the terrified gang members. They explained that the Cyan Snake and Mo Yunzi were just training, which barely managed to quell the commotion.

...

On the Martial Arts Arena, Chu Fan closed his eyes to feel the results for a moment. When he opened them, the light in his eyes was even more intense.

The core principles of the Martial Arts, ’Immovable as a Mountain, Pillow Sea as Emperor,’ flashed through his mind. He then sat down cross-legged and said to Mo Yunzi, "Use 80% power. Try again."

Mo Yunzi did as she was told, urging the Giant Cauldron to crash down with immense power!

BOOM!

Another colossal boom rang out. The bluestone ground where Chu Fan sat shattered, caving in to form a crater several feet deep.

When the dust settled, Chu Fan merely raised a hand to rub his head, his expression unchanged. He was completely unharmed!

Such tyrannical defense left Mo Yunzi, the Cyan Snake, and the White Snake all completely dumbfounded!

Even Chu Fan himself was slightly surprised. Then, as if he’d figured out the key, he slapped the ground with his palm. His body spun out like a top before he landed flat on his back. He announced loudly, "Again! Use 100% power this time!"

Mo Yunzi and the two snakes were already numb to the shock...

Mo Yunzi took a deep breath and poured all of her power—the full 100% of a Fifth Level of Divine Power Realm expert—into the Five Elements Cauldron!

The Spiritual Light from the Giant Cauldron flared violently as it smashed down fiercely toward Chu Fan on the ground!

RUMBLE!

The ground with Chu Fan at its center collapsed with a roar, forming a massive crater dozens of feet in diameter.

Shattered stone flew everywhere, and thick dust filled the air, almost completely obscuring their vision.

When the dust began to settle, they saw Chu Fan lying at the bottom of the crater. Though his clothes were stained with dirt, his expression was as calm and carefree as ever.

"Something’s wrong!" Mo Yunzi suddenly exclaimed, her voice filled with bewildered suspicion. "Before, whether I used the sword or the cauldron, I could feel the impact on your body. But that last strike... the cauldron never actually touched you!"

’Was it as if an invisible barrier surrounded his body, completely blocking the full force of the Five Elements Cauldron?’

"You noticed it too?"

Chu Fan, at the bottom of the crater, started to laugh.

He leaped up, landing steadily on the edge of the crater.

’So the Breaking Limit of the Twelve True Forms, created from the fusion of three Martial Arts, has made the Vajra Undying Body’s defense this powerful... and this is only the first layer...’

’With a defense like this, even a mid-to-late stage Acupoint Realm expert wielding a Middle-Grade Profound Weapon would probably find it hard to harm me in the slightest.’

’It’s just a bit strange that this defense is strongest only when I’m lying down.’

Chu Fan sat up at the edge of the crater. He rubbed the bluestone ground with his fingertips, pondered for a moment, and then lay down again. Closing his eyes, he carefully recalled the description for the "Pillow Sea as Emperor" Trait...

[Pillow Sea as Emperor: When all four limbs are on the ground and the body rests upon the earth, the Array’s effect reaches its peak. The body fits seamlessly with heaven and earth, as if using the thick soil as a bed and the vast earth veins as a sea to pillow one’s head upon for defense. In this state, within a one-meter radius of the body, ripples will appear in space, flowing like the tides and forming a self-contained realm of absolute defense...]

"’All four limbs on the ground, body resting on the earth...’" Chu Fan muttered to himself.
