Invincibility Begins with Mastery of Fist Techniques

Chapter 551: Chapter 544: Unprecedented

He succeeded...

Hearing Daoist Bailong’s words, Lei Yi snapped out of his daze. As if he had understood something, a look of wild joy spread across his face.

He succeeded! He forged a path forward!

A new era for the Martial Dao was about to begin!

To be born in this era would be the great fortune of every Martial Artist!

He succeeded...

The members of the Forest Race also realized something upon hearing Daoist Bailong’s words.

Yes, if he hadn’t broken those shackles, it would have been impossible for a mortal to survive such horrific injuries. After all, the brain had always been a mortal’s greatest limitation and weakness!

Only by reaching that realm could one truly overcome this weakness!

Incredible! Absolutely incredible!

From ancient times to the present day, the superiority of the Spirit Guardians stemmed from a single fact: without the power of a Bloodline, no ordinary person could ever break through those shackles and reach that mysterious, profound realm.

This had seemingly become an iron law.

But now, this iron law had been shattered. An ordinary person, with nothing but a humble mortal body, had forced his way into a forbidden domain accessible only to the divinely favored!

Unprecedented!

Perhaps they should all feel honored to have witnessed this historic moment.

Batu, Siger, and Naliss glanced at each other, all seemingly feeling that their earlier words of despair had been the greatest insult to this unpredictable being.

Nearby, Andy watched the figure bathed in the massive pillar of light, the smile completely frozen on his face.

’His skull was crushed, yet he can be revived and reborn? This guy... he broke through that shackle?!’

’Has a being who naturally broke through biological limitations—aside from the Spirit Guardians—finally appeared in this planet’s biosphere?’

’This is not good news at all!’

’Or rather, for the Celestial Demons, this would be a nightmare!’

"You broke through? You actually broke through?"

The joyful expression on the black-robed man’s face vanished completely. His pale red eyes stared intently at the now fully healed Zhou Yuanjue as he spoke, practically grinding his teeth.

"To be precise, I’m still one final transformation away, but that’s just a matter of time. And I really do have you to thank for it. If you hadn’t tried so hard, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have found the opportunity to break through. You’ve really worked yourself to the bone."

Zhou Yuanjue nodded, his calm expression tinged with a sort of sincerity.

But to the black-robed man, these words sounded like the greatest sarcasm.

The state he was in right now was simply too wonderful.

Every cell in his body was roaring like a mountain tsunami, constantly surging and resonating.

His life had just undergone a revolution. A new order had just been established within his body. Having just successfully passed through a crisis of annihilation, every one of his cells was now filled with powerful confidence and vigor, brimming with endless courage and determination, constantly radiating intense power and desire.

At this moment, the new internal order had just been established, and his body had yet to complete its full evolution. It was like a new nation that had just been founded but had not yet completed a comprehensive societal transformation.

However, it was also during this period that the nation and its organizations were united as one, and the "will of the people" was at its most potent.

"So what if you broke through? When I broke through, it took me at least three days to completely transform my body. You broke through in the middle of a fight. Without that transitional period, how strong can you possibly be?!"

"Besides, after suffering such heavy injuries just now, you must have expended a great deal of energy. Right now, you’re nothing but an arrow at the end of its flight! How can you possibly compare to me?!"

The black-robed man’s face twitched.

BZZZZ!!

The next moment, a vast, dark blue light once again overflowed from his body, enveloping him and forming the shape of a tortoise and a snake.

SWOOSH!!

His figure abruptly vanished and charged toward Zhou Yuanjue.

He thrust a palm through the air!

BANG!!

Laced with Divine Soul Power, his palm shot straight for Zhou Yuanjue’s face. Even though his opponent had broken through, he still held the absolute advantage in raw power!

And at the same time, Zhou Yuanjue responded in kind.

In an instant, some of the cells in his body roared and then disintegrated, sacrificing themselves to squeeze out the most potent biological Energy.

They gave their lives without a second thought.

SCREEE!!!

The shape of a massive bird’s beak appeared at the tip of Zhou Yuanjue’s fist. It too was condensed from Divine Soul Power, and its vibrations sent a piercing shriek through the surrounding air.

In terms of total volume, Zhou Yuanjue’s power seemed inferior to the black-robed man’s, but in terms of density and quality, it was far beyond what the black-robed man could compare to!

This was the true power one grasped after personally establishing a new internal order and spearheading a revolution of life itself.

A person is like a nation, and this nation was now reborn—brimming with vigorous life and completely under his command!

’This...’

The black-robed man clearly felt it the moment their fist and palm met. ’My Divine Soul Power... it’s actually failing to resist his corrosion and destruction?!’

BOOM!!!

An intense force erupted. Even though the black-robed man’s physical strength and Divine Soul Power surpassed Zhou Yuanjue’s, he was actually sent flying backward in the head-on collision, accompanied by a rippling shockwave.

"Impossible..."

A savage roar was forced from the black-robed man’s throat.

He couldn’t believe that he was the one who had been forced back.

"There is no impossible," Zhou Yuanjue said calmly. As he spoke, wisps of Divine Soul Power began to seep from his body, suffusing the air around him and faintly forming a pair of wings. "In this world, there was a nation that loved to be opportunistic. It used a world-spanning war to amass talent and money, stealing the title of the world’s strongest nation like a thief. Undeniably, this nation possessed the world’s most powerful technology, most advanced weapons, and greatest wealth."

"And there was another nation that had experienced centuries of decline and turmoil. Yet it gritted its teeth, swallowed its own blood, and endured a crisis that threatened its very existence. Through constant searching, it found the correct path. It exchanged immense sacrifices—a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood—for the awakening of its people. Step by step, it reclaimed its homeland and regained its dignity."

"Just a few decades ago, the world’s strongest nation went to war with that steadfast nation, which had just been established after a long and painful struggle."

"That strongest nation possessed the world’s most advanced weapons and was considered invincible. The other side, however, was still rebuilding from ruins, its society yet to complete its transformation, possessing only equipment equivalent to the strongest nation’s cast-offs."

"But in the end, the nation considered the world’s strongest lost that war."

"Do you know why?"

"Even if it is emaciated and covered in wounds, an Azure Dragon that swims against the current and leaps over the Dragon Gate on its own is still an Azure Dragon."

"And even if it is fat and sturdy, dressed in a fine suit, a Giant Rat that grows strong by opportunistically devouring the grain of others in secret is, in the end, still just a Giant Rat."

"How can the two possibly be compared?"
