Chapter 303 - Utterly Terrifying Powers of One at the Airborne Realm (2/2)
However, that crone was of the legendary Airborne Realm.
The concept of Airborne Realm had once been something far away in their minds; however, as Lu Xuan went about showcasing his overwhelming combat capacity, the concept became increasingly real.
There was only one thought that everyone shared at that moment—run.
While it seemed as if a long time passed, it was all but a single moment. The crone attacked right there and then.
She swung that snakehead staff of hers, and a beam of brilliant light flashed in midair. The beam transformed into a huge snake immediately, launching itself in Duan Shan’s direction shortly afterward.
While it looked to just be a beam of light conjured by Spiritual Qi, the power it packed was more terrifying than common high-grade cold weapons.
Duan Shan did not hesitate. He roared, growing his height to over two meters, becoming a tiny giant.
His powers became noticeably more powerful after activating his lineage of the giants when compared to his status just a month ago.
Boom!
Duan Shan threw a punch right away, filling the sky with the force of his punch, clashing hard with that huge snake.
Boom!
Duan Shan was already clearly at a disadvantage after the clash. He was sent flying without being able to last for even a second, crashing hard to the ground like a kite with its string snapped.
Pfftt!
Duan Shan rolled around on the ground and spewed blood. He was seriously injured. He felt that several ribs of his were broken.
He felt himself getting increasingly dazed.
So, this is how terrifying beings at Airborne Realm is then?
Duan Shan recalled the time Lu Xuan sparred with all of them, and he deduced that his master had probably hardly used one percent of his latent powers, so much so that the sparring was simply considered to be a game on Lu Xuan’s part.
The power difference between the Celestial Realm and the Airborne Realm was that between heaven and earth. Just any single move from someone at the Airborne Realm was more than enough to incapacitate someone at the Celestial Realm. Worse still, what happened right there resulted from Duan Shan activating his special abilities, which strengthened his constitution. It gave his body toughness that was far beyond that of the usual Celestial Realm beings.
He would have probably ended up killed right there and then otherwise.
All of the representatives from the other cultivation forces were frightened to the core from what they saw.
Duan Shan was incapacitated with one move.
He, at the moment, was no longer some nameless punk that he had been a month ago. All 12 military governors of the Heavenly Palace had become far more powerful than they had ever been before.
The growth was so frightening that all of them became widely known figures.
It was especially so in the case of Duan Shan, who had even defeated several Celestial Realm beings who resisted arrest, enabling him to come to serious fame. While he had not been making the breakthrough for long, he nonetheless became known to be among the strongest of those at Celestial Realm.
All of that served only to show just how terrifying that crone was.
Many gasped when they realized that.
Duan Shan lost all combat capacity right there and then, from just taking one single move.
Pfftt!
He spewed blood yet again, holding in the intense pain inside, and shouted, “Activate the barrier and notify the military.”
The crone muttered, “huh,” under her breath. While she never used anywhere near her full powers with that attack, she was still confused about how a mere Celestial Realm being managed to survive her attack.
An impossibly huge barrier was erected right above the Heavenly Palace at that moment, enveloping the entire place.
The crone reacted with lightning speed, bringing her snakehead staff down hard yet again.
However, that snakehead staff, which seemed to gave her every advantage she needed, did not manage to break that barrier. The barrier rippled from the attack, yet it managed to stay intact.
