Chapter 226: Chapter 226 - Endless Torment
The crushing, terrifying force cracked the earth beneath!
"Boom!"
An incredible sight emerged: my fist smashed straight through the ancestral phantom’s palm!
The palm split apart, appearing fragile against the golden radiance!
But I didn’t pause there—my savage punch burst through the palm and targeted the massive head directly!
Helen Martin’s eyes widened in shock, and he bellowed in rage!
"Impossible!" Helen Martin shook violently!
"Boom!"
With that strike, the Earth Fiend Valley’s so-called ultimate move crumbled!
One punch! It carried world-shaking power!
Most crucial of all, this time I hadn’t depended on any formation!
Everything settled into stillness.
The dark phantom slowly faded, leaving the area in ruins.
I stood bathed in golden light, resembling a deity walking among mortals.
"Your Earth Fiend Valley’s ultimate technique is pathetic." I fixed Helen Martin with an icy stare.
Helen Martin’s expression shifted multiple times before he gave a light snort.
"Based on his energy, Mason Raymond is merely at the Master realm’s Sixth Layer; how could he possess such power..." Conrad Schroeder gulped, utterly stunned!
Even the legendary war zone heroes from years past couldn’t have managed this!
"Nothing a chaotic body accomplishes would shock me." Helen Martin ran his tongue across his lips.
His gaze grew more fixated, his desire for Mason Raymond’s body intensifying.
"Show me whatever else you’ve got," I said with cold detachment.
Helen Martin licked his lips and smirked, "Mason Raymond, despite your strength, your cultivation level is too weak to break free from this place."
"While you remain here, I’m invincible, and your Inner Strength will eventually run dry!"
Helen Martin stayed composed. His strategy was to gradually exhaust Mason Raymond through torture, then seize his body.
My face showed no alarm, just a hint of a mocking grin.
This expression made Helen Martin deeply uneasy!
"Keep acting tough—let’s see how long you can hold out!" Helen Martin snarled.
He lifted his hand to channel his technique, and an enormous palm dropped from above!
A thunderous crash echoed around them, crushing pressure bearing down!
I stayed composed and threw a punch upward.
This seemingly simple strike carried world-ending force!
Helen Martin’s technique looked pitiful against this punch!
"What’s the point in dragging this out? If you had any sense, you’d surrender your body willingly. I might even show you a way to steal another body and keep living..." Helen Martin licked his lips, speaking with chilling calm.
I didn’t respond directly, instead asking, "Are you afraid of pain?"
Helen Martin looked puzzled and scowled, "What are you getting at?"
I shook my head and chuckled, "Your technique is pretty impressive, I’ll give you that. Anyone with a lower cultivation than yours can’t break the spell and escape."
"Exactly." Helen Martin stood tall with his hands clasped behind him.
"But this technique has one deadly weakness." I suddenly shifted my tone, and my smile grew wider.
Helen Martin’s face darkened, and he glared at me coldly, "Stop trying to trick me! You can’t fool me!"
I sneered, "Don’t believe me?"
Helen Martin scoffed, "Of course not, I...ugh!"
Before Helen Martin could finish, I had already closed the distance, and my brutal punch slammed into his chest!
With raw power, I punched straight through Helen Martin’s chest!
Searing pain made Helen Martin’s pupils contract sharply! His whole body shook!
Wiping blood from his mouth, he ground his teeth and said, "So what if you pierce my chest! My body can regenerate instantly!"
"True," I nodded.
"You can repair your body, but... you’ll still experience the pain."
My words made Helen Martin’s face go pale with horror!
"You... what are you saying!" Helen Martin suddenly felt dread creeping in!
I sneered, "What am I saying? You’re no match for me, so what if you can heal? I can torture you without end, and eventually, there’ll be a breaking point you can’t handle, right?"
Helen Martin suddenly understood!
Right, in terms of raw power, Helen Martin couldn’t compete with Mason Raymond, so he could only rely on a war of attrition!
But he’d missed a critical detail!
Mason Raymond could also use his superior strength to inflict torture and unbearable agony!
Everyone had their limit, and once crossed, they’d break completely!
"Looks like you get it now." I flashed a grin, showing bright white teeth.
Yet this radiant smile looked demonic in Helen Martin’s eyes!
"No, I can’t let him get close!" Helen Martin thought desperately, trying to flee.
But sadly, it was already too late.
I moved faster and caught up!
Then they watched as I seized Helen Martin’s throat with one hand, and after a deep growl, massive force exploded from my palm!
"Puh!"
With this crushing force, I snapped Helen Martin’s neck completely!
"Ah!!!"
Pain!
Excruciating, bone-deep pain!
But quickly, Helen Martin’s body started healing.
Once he was fully restored, I moved in again and grabbed Helen Martin’s fingers!
"Crack!"
One after another, I snapped all ten fingers!
As they say, ten fingers connect to the heart; Helen Martin experienced this truth firsthand!
The endless torture commenced.
I showed no mercy, repeatedly tormenting Helen Martin each time his body recovered!
Even Conrad Schroeder, watching from nearby, found such brutality too much to bear!
Helen Martin began breaking down.
The constant torture wore down his mental fortitude, and his sight started going hazy.
I looked down at Helen Martin and sneered, "Seems you’ve got this backwards. I’m the one who trapped you, not the other way around."
