Chapter 273: Chapter 273 - Holy Body
His expression turned ice-cold, murderous intent surging within him.
"How dare you show such ingratitude when I offered kindness! Don’t think I fear you!" Helen Martin’s form filled with dark energy, black rays exploding from his dantian.
A sinister atmosphere blanketed the entire canyon.
This aura couldn’t be dismissed, making even Conrad Schroeder feel somewhat wary.
"Mason Raymond, you’ve disrupted Earth Fiend Valley’s schemes repeatedly. Today, if I don’t end you, I’m unworthy of being Valley Master!"
Helen Martin bellowed furiously, the light streams in his dantian flowing toward the body at the center!
"You’ll all offer your lives for Earth Fiend Valley’s resurrection!" Helen Martin shouted again!
He lifted his palm, forming a gesture that seemed to support the heavens!
Instantly, the eight elders’ faces contorted as the power within their dantians was forcibly drawn out!
"Valley Master, you..." The elder spoke through gritted teeth, gazing at Helen Martin with difficulty.
Helen Martin smirked coldly, "Giving your life for Earth Fiend Valley brings you honor."
As he spoke, the eight elders’ energies were completely drained!
At that moment, a figure shot out from Helen Martin’s forehead!
The figure rapidly rushed toward the holy body!
"Mr. Raymond, watch out! We can’t allow him to complete the possession!" Conrad Schroeder called out anxiously.
I narrowed my brows. I had already recognized Helen Martin’s plan, but stopping him now was impossible.
"This body... isn’t ordinary," I murmured, stroking my chin.
Yet no fear filled my heart, only a trace of excitement!
Since beginning my cultivation path, I had never met anyone with a more formidable body than my own!
This holy body before me might be one of them!
"Come, let me witness what this so-called holy body can accomplish," I said, stomping my foot as golden light burst from my form!
The radiance covered me, making me appear wrapped in golden armor!
Meanwhile, at the array platform’s heart, black mist engulfed the male corpse, crackling sounds emerging from within.
"Boom!"
Soon, a tremendous explosion erupted from the array platform’s center!
The whole canyon shook from the blast, even the distant dungeons felt this power’s impact!
——
"What’s going on?" Marvin Samuel and Aislinn Noble, who were pursuing closely, couldn’t help but show alarm.
They gazed toward the distance, their eyes filled with astonishment.
"Someone’s battling. Quick, we can’t let this chance slip by!" Marvin Samuel declared with excitement.
——
The array platform was completely destroyed by this force! The darkness vanished instantly!
The corpse that had been lying at the platform’s center slowly rose.
An aura of absolute supremacy emanated outward, inspiring the urge to bow down!
This overwhelming pressure seemed to stem from inherent bloodline dominance, something even the mighty couldn’t resist.
Even Conrad Schroeder’s legs started shaking!
"Such tremendous power," I observed, watching Helen Martin who had successfully seized the body, speaking quietly.
Helen Martin walked slowly toward me from the array platform’s center.
His physical form had no visible light surrounding it, yet at first glance, one could perceive its exceptional nature.
"It’s magnificent..." Helen Martin licked his lips, examining his new form.
Sensing unprecedented strength, Helen Martin seemed to relish it completely.
"I had planned to use this to revive the ancestor, but now, it appears unnecessary," Helen Martin spoke with a sneer.
He looked at me and said, "Actually, I should be grateful to you for this incredible body. Letting someone else have it would be wasteful."
I replied with disdain, "Is this what you call a holy body? Nothing remarkable about it."
"Hahahahaha!" Helen Martin burst into laughter. His laughter thundered like a storm, making listeners’ ears ring.
"The holy body may not match the chaotic body, but the gap isn’t vast," Helen Martin grinned coldly.
"This flesh reached the Grandmaster realm’s peak in life, Mason Raymond, what gives you confidence to challenge me!" Helen Martin roared, a crushing wave of Inner Strength instantly pressing down on me!
"Puff!"
Conrad Schroeder couldn’t endure the pressure and suddenly coughed up blood!
I also felt something constricting my chest, causing slight discomfort.
"This holy body truly is remarkable," I said with a grave tone.
Fortunately, the stone statue hadn’t fallen into Helen Martin’s hands; otherwise, if that ancestor were revived, it would spell trouble.
"Mason Raymond, I’m eager to test this new body! Hahaha!" Helen Martin laughed heartily, his Inner Strength boiling!
Then, Helen Martin stepped forward, his devastating fist targeting my body directly!
"Clang!"
I didn’t dodge or retreat, instead, I clenched my fists to counter the attack!
"Boom!"
The fist collision made the air explode!
Earth Fiend Valley couldn’t endure it anymore and began collapsing in that moment!
"Truly the holy body!" My eyes narrowed and my battle fervor intensified!
This was my first encounter with something that could match my own flesh and blood head-on!
Helen Martin also licked his lips and grinned: "The chaotic body truly deserves its fame, but sadly...today you’re meant to perish here!"
Speaking thus, Helen Martin charged again!
We engaged in an unprecedented close-quarters battle!
Each flesh-to-flesh strike caused surrounding chaos!
The "clang-clang" sounds continued endlessly!
Not far off, Conrad Schroeder gritted his teeth; he attempted to use his techniques to assist me.
Countless Inner Strength streams transformed into raindrops and attacked Helen Martin.
But surprisingly, Conrad Schroeder’s assault proved completely useless! It couldn’t even scratch Helen Martin’s skin!
"How can this be!" Conrad Schroeder’s expression turned extremely grim!
How could Helen Martin’s flesh be so formidable?
Mason Raymond was actually wrestling with such a monster?
This had already surpassed Conrad Schroeder’s understanding!
"Boom!"
Helen Martin roared in fury, his fist swelling as it crashed ruthlessly into my chest!
My body shot through the mountain stone and flew out!
"Hahaha! That’s the power I desire, that’s the strength!" Helen Martin shouted excitedly, his emotions reaching their zenith!
I crawled out from the debris and looked down at my fist with a serious expression.
"The hardness of this holy body actually exceeds mine slightly," I thought to myself.
After all, the holy body’s original owner had once been a Peak Grandmaster, his realm far superior to mine.
If not for my over five hundred body tempering sessions, I might have already met my end here.
"Swoosh!"
As I contemplated, Helen Martin charged once more!
We didn’t employ any elaborate techniques, just straightforward punches and kicks!
"Clang! Clang!"
Every punch shook the air, and no one could interfere with our battle!
——
"What... What is that? So powerful..." Marvin Samuel, who had just reached the scene, couldn’t help but gaze at the sky in amazement.
"It appears to be Mason Raymond," Aislinn Noble said with surprise.
