Chapter 211: Chapter 197: Demon Body Wielding a Halberd
Forced back by the blow, Xiang Ji’s spirit, momentum, and Physical Ability didn’t weaken in the slightest. Instead, they grew even more formidable.
A pillar of black smoke shot straight into the sky.
His body had surpassed its original limits, unleashing even greater power.
Breaking Extreme!
Originally, the Breaking Extreme Intent within the Celestial Dragon Extreme Breakthrough had never been strong enough because the Overlord’s Heavy Pupils and the Will Training Method were lost to time. But now, Xiang Ji had forged his own path.
With a sweeping, direct strike, he brought his halberd down on Ye Jian Mountain’s head once more.
’It’s the same thing every time. Let’s see just how many of these you can take!’
With a savage expression, Ye Jian Mountain showed no fear and leaped up to meet the attack once more!
Once again, Xiang Ji was sent reeling by his opponent’s terrifying power.
This time, however, he wasn’t sent flying into the wall. He only retreated five steps!
"KILL!!"
The next moment, Xiang Ji’s Celestial Dragon Body flared to life. His Qi and Blood churned violently, instantly dispelling the impact of the powerful blow as he unleashed his power and charged his opponent again.
Amidst the thunderous battle cry, his momentum surged once more. The black smoke shot toward the sky as his physical form began to expand even further.
He now stood around 2.3 meters tall, his condensed muscles forming what looked like a suit of angular Battle Armor.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Explosions echoed continuously throughout the courtyard. Both fighters used direct, sweeping Techniques, leaving no room for subtle Mechanical Skill in their duel. It was like a savage clash between Fierce Beasts, filled with an Overbearing Fury.
Crisscrossing Qi Force stirred the air and cracked the ground. Incredibly, pillars of wind like tornadoes began to rise around the courtyard, growing larger and larger as the two continued to trade blows.
In less than ten seconds, they had exchanged more than a dozen blows. Ye Jian Mountain had originally held an absolute advantage, but he gradually began to feel his strength failing him.
He could clearly feel his opponent growing stronger every time he knocked him back. At first, he’d assumed it was the effect of some Secret Technique that couldn’t last. However, after more than a dozen exchanges, the growth in his opponent’s Physical Ability and momentum seemed to have no limit.
He, on the other hand, now stood over three meters tall; his ability to increase his size had reached its limit. In this strongest form, his Physical Ability was being consumed at a terrifying rate.
As his own power waned and his opponent’s grew, it seemed he would soon be unable to withstand the pressure!
’Just moments ago, I could crush him with ease. How can I be the one feeling powerless now?!’
’What in the world is happening?!’
’No! I can’t let this go on. I have to defeat him as quickly as possible!’
’His power can’t grow indefinitely. If I can just injure him badly enough, I might be able to stop his Secret Technique—maybe even make him suffer a backlash from it.’
’I’ll risk it all!’
"HAAH!!"
Ye Jian Mountain let out a great roar as his muscles swelled once more.
CRACK!!
His muscles expanded so rapidly that his bones, unable to bear the strain, began to crack under the pressure. His internal organs felt like they were on fire, and each heartbeat was an agony of immense pressure.
He had pushed his ability to grow in size past its limits.
He had to grievously wound Xiang Ji in the shortest time possible.
BOOM!!
He stomped his foot, and the entire courtyard trembled. It felt as if nothing in the world could stand against his power.
Soul Suppressing Warrior!!
BAM!!
He thrust out a palm, unleashing a terrifying, overwhelming power.
CRACK!!
As his palm struck his opponent, he clearly heard the sound of shattering bone—the sound of his force invading Xiang Ji’s body and pulverizing his skeleton.
The immense impact sent Xiang Ji’s body tumbling like a sack of broken rags, and he crashed heavily into the wall once more, leaving a deep indentation.
’Success.’
Ye Jian Mountain gasped for breath. The strain of that beyond-limit strike was immense, but thankfully, the Technique had worked. Once he recovered a bit, he would be able to finish Xiang Ji for good.
However, at that very moment...
BOOM!!
The dense black smoke around Xiang Ji’s body erupted violently once more, but this time, something was different.
The twisting black smoke coalesced into a giant, humanoid form.
It was pitch-black and clad in Battle Armor, its features impossible to discern. Its blood-red eyes stared down upon the world like those of a world-ending fiend!
BAM!!
The next moment, Xiang Ji’s body, still on the ground, began to expand even further.
He pushed himself up with one hand, rising instantly to his feet. One arm hung limply at his side, but that did nothing to diminish the terrifying pressure now radiating from him.
He now stood nearly 2.8 meters tall, like a Divine Demon from legend. Blood oozed unceasingly from his pores—a savage and gory sight—yet his expression was utterly serene.
"It’s over."
He slowly uttered those two words, and before the sound had even faded, his figure shot forward.
The Divine Demon Form enveloping him followed like a shadow.
SWOOSH!!
With the bones in his right arm shattered, he formed a blade with his left hand and swung it viciously.
Blood erupted from his body into a crimson mist which, along with his Gang Qi, instantly coalesced to form a giant Blood Halberd nearly ten meters long.
Most surprisingly, the moment Xiang Ji swung his arm, the giant Divine Demon Form behind him mirrored the motion, grasping a halberd with both hands and bringing it down upon Ye Jian Mountain.
And the Battle Halberd it held was none other than the giant Blood Halberd that Xiang Ji’s Technique had just created!
