526 Death Punch (1/2)
In his moment of enlightenment, the Buddha had famously said: ”A flickering of a finger contained sixty most basic units of time. In each of that unfathomably short moment, nine hundred lives were lost and another nine hundred were born.”
Chen Fan had killed Wu Guanchao using just one strike and try as he might, Wu Guanchao could not break free from the iron hold of the mighty palm strike. Even his Divine Soul melted away under the deadly energy.
Daxin and the Prophet of the Sea God were both shaken to the core after seeing the development.
Although Wu Guanchao had just entered Immortal State not long ago, his peers had expected him to last longer than that.
”This curmudgeon had increased his power by leaps and bounds over the years.”
Daxin gave Chen Fan a long glance and then patted the giant snake python his feet. The python slammed the invisible seal with its tail as if it had understood its master's command.
”Kaboom!”
With an ear-deafening blare, the python's tail stirred up huge waves.
This python was well over fifty meters long and two men could wrap their arms around its girth. His tail could crush an armored vehicle with ease. However, when it slammed into the invisible barrier, the barrier only flickered and held its ground. Meanwhile, the hard impact shredded many scales off of the python's body.
”Don't even bother. We wouldn't be able to break the Divine Force unless you have become an Earth Level Deity.” The Prophet of the Sea God put in.
”Bang!”
Even as she spoke, Chen Fan had already charged forward.
Chen Fan had gathered the Power of Heaven and Earth to freeze the very fabric of reality in place.
These tactics consumed a tremendous amount of Divine Will and True Essence, therefore, the effect could at the most last at the most ten seconds. Since time was of the essence, Chen Fan didn't hold back his power even the slightest. His True Essence had transformed into scintillating Fist Aura that illuminated the dark sky.
”Naga!”
Daxin shouted as a wet noise came out from his throat.
Hearing its name, the giant python opened its mouth and spat out a ray of emerald-colored light.
Upon closer inspection, Chen Fan found out that this ray of light was made out of a moving mist of the same color. This plume of green mist was the python's Inborn Divine Powers. It was extremely poisonous and a drop of this deadly substance could kill tens of thousands of people. The python had been devouring many poisonous herbs and insects for centuries to strengthen the potency of the mist.
”KOM!”
The green light darted toward Chen Fan at lightning speed and surrounded Chen Fan in a blink.
Daxin's face finally softened a little as a faint smile crept onto the corner of his lips.
As the most successful Gong Tau master of Southeast Asia, Naga was one of his most proud possessions.
Naga didn't always belong to him, instead, it used to be a Guardian Spirit Beast of Daxin's sect. After Daxin took over the sect business, he started to feed the python poisonous plants and the python's power started to grow rapidly and reached Immortal State. Daxin was confident that no one could survive Naga's deadly poison mist. It was not only poisonous but also extremely corrosive and could melt away steel in a matter of seconds.
”Be careful, Chen Beixuan is not an ordinary foe.”
The Prophet of the Sea God pushed a Sapphire spear from the roiling seawater as she warned her peer.
”Bang!”
Her warning turned out to be quite necessary. Chen Fan rushed through the poison mist and hurled a fist at Daxin.
”What?”
Daxin gaped in utter surprise.
The poisonous mist didn't cause any harm to Chen Fan, it didn't even taint Chen Fan's shirt. Chen Fan had reached mid-stage of the Divine Sea Level, so his power was well beyond the imagination of Daxin. Not even a direct impact from a field cannon could make a dent on Chen Fan's body, much less the mist. Chen Fan didn't even need to use his Azure Thearch Longevity Body to ward off the poisonous mist.
”Gu Worm of Ten Thousand Poisons!”
Daxin scrambled to put up some defense. He waved both arms and summoned two plums of dark smog from under his sleeves.
The dark smoke was made out of tiny Gu Worms. Daxin had collected these Gu Worm over the decades and each one of them could kill a man with one bit.
”Void Dimension Shockwave!”
Chen Fan was unfazed by the deadly retinue of worms as he charged up his Fist Qi.
Suddenly, a shock wave rippled through space, turning the air into liquid and annihilated all living things within its radius of effect.
The True Martial Thirty-Six Forms, Void Dimension Shockwave!
It wasn't until now that Chen Fan could finally start to unleash the real power of the technique. An accomplished Immortal Cultivator from the True Martial Celestial Sect could shatter the space and annihilate an entire dimension using this technique. Chen Fan had only reached the Divine Sea level, but his attack was destructive nonetheless.
”Arrh!”
The shockwave shot through the air and reached Daxin, ripping apart Daxin's hands, arms, shoulders, and even his head. In a blink, only Daxin's lower body remained intact.
So powerful was Chen Fan's attack that it threatened to tear a hole through the fabric of reality.
The other overlords were stunned beyond belief by what they saw.
Even Xie Yan's face became heavy as he contemplated what he would do if he was in Daxin's shoes.
”Bang!”
Suddenly, a flicker of panic lit up in the giant python's eyes as it turned tail and was going to dive deep into the ocean. Before it did that, the beast spat out a ray of green light from its mouth at Chen Fan.
”Does that beast carry the second Primordial Essence of Daxin?”
Chen Fan narrowed his eyes as he registered Daxin's presence inside the python.
Content and incompetence had driven the cultivators on earth to focus on protective measures rather than striving for real immortality. Many Immortal State cultivators on earth had one or two life-preserving last-ditch measures up their sleeves.
