Chapter 461 - Clash!! (1/2)

They both had five extreme states, with Kua Fuding missing the Awakening level and Zhong Yue missing the Inner Core and Heavenly Dharma levels. However, Zhong Yue had opened the Bloodline Wheel and reverse-opened the secret realms, achieving two different states of extremity in the Awakening level!

For the rest of the world, any one of these two extreme states was already a huge achievement, and yet, he had done both!

Among the cultivation levels, the Awakening's extreme states were comparatively the hardest to achieve. This was because of the incompleteness of the Six Paths Reincarnation in their Six Paths World, which made the cultivation of the sixth realm harder than ever, nearly impossible.

But reverse-opening the five secret realms weren't that easy either. The cultivators would have to break open the chaos in their mind, a process that could leave them in a permanent vegetative state, or even dead! Without the help of a divine eye, this was quite improbable as well, the rate of death was highest compared to the other extreme states!

Thus, the two extreme states of the Awakening level were the hardest of all, and succeeding in either one would allow one to rise far above their peers!

For Kua Fuding and Zhong Yue who had both achieved five extreme states, who would be stronger?

…

Kua Fuding's face was solemn, his mortal body suddenly shrunk to only over 20 feet tall, approximately twice Zhong Yue's height.

To the others, the bigger mortal body granted them superior strength, but to Kua Fuding, he was the opposite. With a smaller body, Kua Fuding would be able to focus his strength to make each of his attacks all the more deadlier!

After all, in the face with a formidable opponent like Zhong Yue, being big didn't mean strong.

"Houtu Mountain River Cauldron!"

Kua Fuding roared, and earth totem patterns surged out from his body and linked with his arm guard before crawling across his whole body. His body resembled the cauldron main frame, and his head was like the cauldron cover.

From time to time, there would be the images of mountains and rivers flitting across the earth totem patterns that formed an armor-like protection on his body surface.

His body began to heat up, burning the air and melting the surrounding metal as an endless stream of energy coursed through him!

Zhong Yue raised his brow for a second and quickly regained his usual composure.

For a moment, Zhong Yue thought that Kua Fuding's Houtu Mountain River Cauldron was a divine weapon, with the armor pieces forming a divine armor set. But now, he could tell that they were all just imitations of divine amor formed from totem patterns.

If it was genuine divine armor, there would be no point fighting anymore.

If what Kua Fuding was wearing was the genuine Houtu Mountain River Cauldron, Zhong Yue wouldn't even able to put a scratch on it.

However, Kua Fuding only received the genuine arm guard rather than the complete armor. But despite this, he was still the strongest opponent that Zhong Yue had ever encountered in the same cultivation level, not even Yan Zhen could compete against him as he was now a Heavenly Dharma existence who could even fight against the True Spirit magnates!

The earth totem patterns on his body were not truly of the same origin as his arm guard, but they were formed from the same cultivation technique. They would be able to maximize its defensive potential.

But what was more terrifying was that the arm guard was able to flow in his body and re-emerge anywhere around his body. It could come out at any angle and direction, blocking the incoming attacks and also appear on his arm to strengthen his attacks.

Zhong Yue heaved a long breath, the totem patterns then flowed out from his body and formed a translucent barrier around him.

It was the [Shao Hao Bell]!

Abruptly, the two moved. Kua Fuding's punch was accompanied by the sound of thunder. It left a blazing streak across the ground surface and a flash of lightning cracked the dark sky. In just one punch, the [Shao Hao Bell] was shattered into pieces.

Zhong Yue drew a circle in mid-air, and the [Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art] emerged and the incoming punch fell into it. The [Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art] cracked but still withstood the strike. Kua Fuding's punch was drawn into the Tai Chi and the power of Yin and Yang ground Kua Fuding's power away.

Kua Fuding then struck his other palm out on the [Tai Chi Art] and it shattered away!

While the Golden Feathery Peng Sword flashed out from Zhong Yue's Yuan Shen secret realm like a nocked arrow let loose right at Kua Fuding's head!

The arm guard emerged in front of Kua Fuding's face and blocked Zhong Yue's killing blow. However, the totem patterns on Kua Fuding's head still took a great hit, they cracked down and were crushed away.

Zhong Yue then bowed and images of gods appeared all around him, they were bowing down as well. Kua Fuding opened his hands and struck out thousands of palm strikes to the front. His fingers moved with an intriguing rhythm, and every palm strike left afterimages in the air. In just an instant, these afterimages consolidated together and formed the image of a continent with finger-like mountains!

The [Boundless Continental Earth]!

A skill of the Kua Fu Celestial Race!

Krong——

The earth shuddered and the clouds scattered. Thunder rumbled through the air, and the two of them both muffled a deep groan. The impact force of the collision of their skills pushed the two of them backward, leaving skid marks on the ground.

Pu!

Zhong Yue spat out a mouthful of blood but rushed forward with seeming disregard for injuries. He raised his hand and brought it down in a slashing motion. If one looked carefully enough, they would notice dense totem patterns on Zhong Yue's skin.
