Chapter 2241 What kind of monster is this?
Chapter 2241 What kind of monster is this?
As the pale blue light curtain surrounding the training ground solidified completely, a soft sound, like ripples on water, arose.
The duel has officially begun.
The moment that sound rang out, Liao Zhixu's smile vanished instantly, replaced by a chilling killing intent tinged with the strong smell of blood.
He extended his right hand in a grasping motion, and a burst of black light flashed. A ferocious warhammer, entirely black with dark red blood-red patterns on its surface, appeared out of thin air in his palm.
The moment that warhammer appeared, the surrounding space became viscous.
A violent surge of primordial power erupted from the warhammer.
This power of the Great Dao's origin merged perfectly with the portion of the Great Dao's origin power that Liao Zhixu himself controlled, forming an even more condensed power.
Liao Zhixu gripped the massive warhammer with one hand, and his aura surged instantly.
A smile appeared on Chen Fei's face. He raised his right hand, spread his five fingers, and gently clenched them in the void in front of him.
The moment he clenched his fist, the vast power of the Great Dao began to frantically converge and condense into his palm.
In the blink of an eye, a halberd with a chaotic color throughout and a faint flow of silver-gray spatial power on its blade condensed in his hand.
This halberd is not a physical object, but a weapon formed entirely from the power of the Great Dao's origin.
Seeing this, not only Liao Zhixu, who was preparing to launch an attack, was stunned, but even the Heavenly Monarch Realm experts in the surrounding viewing area, who were originally somewhat indifferent, were all stunned for a moment, and their faces showed surprise.
"Hmm? He doesn't have his own low-grade Heavenly Monarch Divine Weapon?"
"At the peak of the early stage of the Heavenly Monarch Realm, he actually used the power of the Great Dao Origin to condense a weapon? This..."
"Is he too poor to afford a Heavenly Monarch Divine Weapon? Or... is he extremely confident in his strength, so confident that he believes he can defeat Liao Zhixu without a Heavenly Monarch Divine Weapon?"
"Impossible, right? Everyone knows how much a Heavenly Monarch's Divine Weapon enhances a Heavenly Monarch's combat power."
Immediately, various speculations and discussions arose in the minds of the Heavenly Lords in the observation area.
Their gazes toward Chen Fei became complicated.
Liao Zhixu's brows furrowed tightly.
He looked at the halberd in Chen Fei's hand, which was formed from the power of the Great Dao, and then at the pitch-black warhammer in his own hand, which exuded a violent pressure. A look of humiliation and anger appeared on his face.
"You look down on me?" he asked coldly, his voice carrying a hint of suppressed anger.
In his view, Chen Fei's actions were blatant contempt for him.
To fight him, they didn't even bother to bring out their own divine weapons, resorting instead to hastily conjured energy weapons. This was the greatest insult to him.
Upon hearing this, Chen Fei was taken aback at first, then followed Liao Zhixu's gaze to look at the halberd in his hand, which was formed from the origin of the Great Dao, and then he understood why the other party was angry.
He chuckled softly, shook his head, and explained, "You misunderstand, sir. It's not that I look down on you, but I simply don't possess a low-grade Heavenly Monarch Divine Weapon."
He spoke these words frankly, without any attempt to conceal them.
He indeed did not possess a Heavenly Sovereign Divine Weapon. Although the Heavenly Evolution Division had promised to provide it for him, he had not yet officially joined the Heavenly Evolution Division, so naturally he had not yet received it.
His own halberd, though made of good material, was still at the Tai Cang Realm level, which was no longer sufficient to deal with opponents at the Tianjun Realm.
Upon hearing this, Liao Zhixu's brows twitched slightly, still somewhat disbelieving.
Having cultivated to the peak of the early stage of the Heavenly Monarch Realm, how could he not even have a low-grade Heavenly Monarch Divine Weapon?
Unless his previous divine weapon was destroyed in battle? That's possible.
After all, while the Heavenly Sovereign's Divine Weapons are powerful, they can indeed be destroyed in some extremely fierce battles.
"Humph!"
Liao Zhixu snorted coldly. Whether Chen Fei truly didn't have a divine weapon or was deliberately hiding his abilities, he wouldn't show any mercy because of it.
He flashed and appeared in front of Chen Fei as if by teleportation, raising the huge black warhammer in his hand high. The dark red blood patterns on the hammer seemed to come alive, emitting an eerie light.
The violent power of the Great Dao's origin, like a star exploding, gathered and compressed on the hammer, forming a terrifying force capable of instantly smashing an entire surface into dust.
Then, he swung the hammer down hard on Chen Fei's head.
This hammer blow was incredibly powerful, as if it would crush all obstacles in its path.
Facing this seemingly world-destroying hammer blow, Chen Fei's eyes remained calm as still water.
Deep within his sea of consciousness, he had already pushed the Myriad Soul Source Technique to its limit.
That invisible mirror of the mind, hanging high above the sea of consciousness, clearly reflected every detail of Liao Zhixu's hammer blow, the flow of power, the distribution of rules, and the fluctuations of the origin of the Great Dao.
To onlookers, Liao Zhixu's hammer blow was unstoppable and flawless.
But in Chen Fei's eyes, he could clearly see that the force distribution of Liao Zhixu's hammer was not absolutely uniform.
Due to the angle of his strike and the characteristics of his technique, the force of this hammer blow had an extremely slight weak point three inches to the left of the hammerhead.
This is not a flaw. At the Heavenly Monarch Realm, cultivators have reached an extremely refined level of control over their power, and such obvious flaws rarely appear in their attacks.
The so-called weak points are simply slight differences in the distribution of power due to the different characteristics of different techniques.
Some places are stronger, some places are weaker, that's all.
Of course, there are also some techniques that strive for perfection, distributing power so evenly that they appear flawless.
But in Chen Fei's view, this perfection is itself the biggest flaw, because when the power is evenly distributed to every point, it means that the power at each point is not strong enough.
Just moments before that jet-black warhammer, carrying immense force, was about to smash down on Chen Fei's head,
Chen Fei gently flipped the halberd in his hand, and then the blade struck precisely the weakest point of Liao Zhixu's hammer blow.
"clang!"
A sharp, metallic clang suddenly rang out.
Immediately afterwards, under the incredulous gazes of Liao Zhixu and all the Heavenly Lords watching the battle, the pitch-black warhammer that seemed capable of shattering planes was actually deflected the moment it collided with Chen Fei's halberd blade, which was formed from the origin of the Great Dao.
Liao Zhixu felt a force capable of penetrating all defenses slam into his body through the warhammer.
He clearly felt that he controlled more of the power of the Great Dao's origin, but all his defenses were as if made of paper, easily pierced by that power.
"puff!"
Liao Zhixu felt a tightness in his chest and a sweet taste in his throat, and then a mouthful of blood gushed out uncontrollably.
He was thrown backward uncontrollably.
Just one move.
In a head-on clash, Liao Zhixu, a demonic cultivator who was definitely considered a master among ordinary early-stage Heavenly Monarchs, was actually knocked back by Chen Fei's halberd and coughed up blood on the spot.
The Heavenly Monarch level experts in the spectator area surrounding the martial arts arena all staring wide-eyed, their faces showing disbelief.
"Liao Zhixu was actually sent flying by a single halberd strike?"
"And did you notice? His halberd strike just now seemed to have hit the weakest point of Liao Zhixu's hammer blow."
"Impossible. Liao Zhixu's hammer strike was perfectly rounded and controlled. How could it possibly have an obvious flaw?"
In a corner of the spectator area, the two or three Heavenly Lords who had previously placed a token bet on Chen Fei with the hope of an upset all had their eyes light up.
"Interesting, indeed interesting."
"Anyone who dares to perform in the martial arts arena without a Heavenly Monarch weapon is indeed quite skilled."
"It seems we might make a fortune this time."
On the martial arts stage, Chen Fei repelled Liao Zhixu with a single halberd strike without pausing for a moment.
He took a step forward, his figure directly catching up with Liao Zhixu, who was flying backward. He raised his halberd high once more and slashed down at Liao Zhixu again.
Liao Zhixu was, after all, a demonic cultivator who had cultivated for many years. Although he was repelled by Chen Fei's halberd and suffered some injuries, he did not completely lose his fighting ability.
Seeing Chen Fei press his advantage, he let out an angry roar.
He forcefully steadied his backward-flying body, and the vast demonic energy within his body circulated wildly.
Behind him, the void trembled, and a gigantic warhammer phantom, formed from pure demonic energy and the power of the Great Dao's origin, suddenly appeared.
The phantom warhammer emanated a more terrifying and violent pressure than the physical warhammer in Liao Zhixu's hand.
Demon Hammer - Heaven Suppressing!
Liao Zhixu roared, gripping the black warhammer in his hands and swinging it again.
As he swung his warhammer, the towering phantom of the warhammer behind him also moved, carrying even more terrifying power, and smashed down towards Chen Fei.
This hammer blow was even more ferocious and domineering than the previous one.
Moreover, Liao Zhixu had clearly learned from his previous experience. When he swung the hammer, he deliberately adjusted the distribution of his power, trying to conceal the weak point that Chen Fei had just exploited.
However, in Chen Fei's eyes, Liao Zhixu's adjustments seemed pale and futile.
As his strength was distributed, while he concealed that weakness, another new weakness emerged elsewhere.
In Chen Fei's eyes, who had already cultivated the Devouring Heaven Creation Technique and the Myriad Soul Source Technique to the Great Perfection, every weakness in the power of any of his moves would be revealed.
"boom!"
A deafening explosion, even more violent than before, resounded across the martial arts arena.
The chaotic halberd in Chen Fei's hand, formed from the origin of the Great Dao, collided fiercely with Liao Zhixu's all-out attack, which incorporated the illusory image of the Heavenly War Hammer behind him.
A violent energy shockwave, originating from the center of the collision between the two, swept wildly in all directions.
The light blue protective light barrier surrounding the training ground rippled violently under the impact of this shockwave, emitting a buzzing sound.
At the moment of impact, Liao Zhixu felt an indescribable, terrifying force surge wildly into his body through his warhammer.
The towering warhammer phantom behind him shattered like glass the moment it touched Chen Fei's Chaos Halberd.
The black warhammer in his hand was also shaken upwards by the domineering force transmitted from Chen Fei's halberd, leaving it wide open.
The halberd in Chen Fei's hand continued its momentum, like a chaotic bolt of lightning, rushing straight in and piercing Liao Zhixu's chest.
Liao Zhixu's pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinpoints.
He could clearly sense that the blade of that Chaos Halberd contained a terrifying power that was enough to easily tear apart his protective demonic energy and severely injure him.
If he were pierced by this halberd, even if he didn't die, he would definitely lose his fighting ability.
At the critical moment of life and death, Liao Zhixu unleashed his survival instinct as a veteran Heavenly Monarch.
His left hand rapidly flipped through hand seals, and layer upon layer of pitch-black shields, formed from demonic energy and the power of the Great Dao's origin, appeared before him.
At the same time, he flew backward at top speed, trying to increase the distance between himself and Chen Fei.
However, while he was fast, Chen Fei's halberd was even faster.
"boom!"
Another earth-shattering explosion.
The layers upon layers of pitch-black shields were easily pierced and torn apart by Chen Fei's Chaos Halberd. Immediately afterwards, Chen Fei's halberd struck Liao Zhixu's hastily extended left palm.
"Pfft!"
Liao Zhixu's left palm, along with his left arm, was crushed by the violent force the moment it touched the Chaos Halberd, turning into a cloud of blood mist that exploded in the air.
"what!"
Liao Zhixu let out a piercing scream as he was sent flying backward once more. Blood gushed out like a fountain from the severed part of his left arm, scattering across the sky.
Chen Fei shattered Liao Zhixu's left arm with a single slash of his halberd, his face expressionless. He lightly stepped on the air with his right foot, and his figure caught up with Liao Zhixu, who was flying backwards.
The Chaos Halberd in his hand was raised high once more, descending from above like a chaotic divine punishment, fiercely slashing down towards Liao Zhixu's head.
If this halberd strike lands squarely, Liao Zhixu, even with ten lives, would not survive.
Liao Zhixu's mind trembled violently as he watched the chaotic halberd grow larger and larger in his field of vision.
Without even a second thought, he instinctively channeled all the remaining strength in his body into his right arm, desperately holding the black warhammer horizontally in front of him.
At the same time, he frantically drew upon the power of the Great Dao's origin, creating layer upon layer of pitch-black barriers in front of him in an attempt to withstand Chen Fei's fatal blow.
"I admit defeat!" Liao Zhixu shouted.
The halberd stopped before Liao Zhixu's black barrier. Though it didn't touch it, the violent power caused the barrier to tremble violently. Had he hesitated to surrender even a moment longer, the halberd would have torn through all his defenses.
Liao Zhixu's eyes twitched slightly as he looked at the god-like figure in blue robes. A bitter and helpless smile appeared on his face. Where did these monsters come from?
Even without a Heavenly Sovereign's weapon, he's already ridiculously powerful! (End of Chapter)
