There is a fiery root stem of the Japanese sun tree in the earth, which is a magical place.
Although Kangyuan had previously cast a spell to extinguish the flames around him, as soon as the explosion here stopped, countless blue-white flames shot up from the ground.
Hoo la, hoo la.
The sky-high flames, with the strengthening of the gusty wind, swept across almost the entire plain.
Kangyuan, hiding inside the ice crystal "field", was sweating profusely on his forehead at this moment. His eyes were filled with disbelief and fixed on the front as if there was something extremely shocking to him.
Yes, amidst the endless glow of flames ahead, there was a youth cultivator carrying a divine sword, who was looking over with a sneer.
"Impossible! Impossible!" Kangyuan couldn't believe it, "You're just a mediocre level magic user. How could you possibly survive my fierce attack without a scratch?"
The difference between a medium-level mage and an upper-level mage is not just the gap in qi quantity, but also the fundamental quality issue.
If one must describe the gap between an upper-level mage and a medium-level mage, the difference is no more aptly described than as being like heaven and earth.
An upper-level mage is like the high-up clouds, while a medium-level mage is just like the inconspicuous mud on the ground.
However, at this moment!
But now!
How can the mud on the ground fly higher than the high-up clouds?
This undoubtedly caused Kangyuan's worldview to feel a bit of collapse, it's really hard to believe that Chen Yun is not injured in such fierce attack, so he was surprised.
Chen Yun looked at the startled, flustered face, and as he stepped forward with a leisurely flight, he unleashed his full aura, "Oh, a medium-level mage? Look and see if I'm truly just a medium-level mage."
Bang!
A thunderous sound resounded!
Chen Yun's true essence gushed out from his body instantly. Perhaps the quantity was too vast, and as it surged out, it even caused a violent resonance with the air, producing a fierce explosion-like sound.
This wasn't the end yet. Just as Chen Yun had just breakthrough to the vast true qi of an upper-level mage, he suddenly soared into the sky, forming a qi column and sweeping in all directions. The surrounding flames, which had just emerged from the ground not long ago, were once again pushed back by the terrifying qi waves in all directions.
For a moment, a strange scene was formed on the ground.
The flames were continuously compressed into a circle of "fire line" by the powerful aura leaking from Chen Yun, eventually forming a circular shape.
The turbulent qi force was like arrows shot from a nine-stone hard bow, continuously striking towards the sky and the ground wildly.
"Aah!"
A cry of agony suddenly rang out.
Kangyuan had never expected Chen Yun to suddenly unleash such a fierce burst of true essence. Overwhelmed by the powerful true essence, he was shattered from his ice crystal "field" and struck his body. Although he managed to channel his essence to resist, it was not enough to fully withstand the impact, and he was sent flying backward, crashing heavily into the deep pit.
Kangyuan had been a well-established upper-level mage for over fifty years, and could be considered an old one. At this moment, he was even shaken by Chen Yun's true essence, causing him to fly backward and crash into the deep pit. This was truly surprising.
Kangyuan, half lying on the ground with disheveled hair and a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth, turned his head in disbelief and looked at the young Daoist surrounded by a true essence "hood" in shock.
Kangyuan, experiencing Chen Yun's true strength for the first time, couldn't help but show a look of terror in his eyes!
In just a few days, Chen Yun's strength had surpassed Kangyuan's cognition!
"You... You've already become an upper-level mage?" Kangyuan asked, not quite sure.
Chen Yun had flown to three feet in front of Kangyuan, the divine sword in his hand holding back its thunderous light. He calmly replied, "That's right."
Kangyuan took a sharp breath, "Seven or eight days ago, you were still a medium-level mage in the middle stage. Seven or eight days later, you've broken through to an upper-level mage? This... This is simply too unbelievable!"
Chen Yun snorted coldly, "The mysteries of the true method of my school of the martial arts are beyond your imagination, evil demons and outsiders. Enough talk. Die!"
"Wait a minute! Wait a minute!" Kangyuan shouted urgently.
Chen Yun paused and frowned, "What else do you want to say?"
Kangyuan's eyes flashed a trace of cunning, but his voice seemed extremely desolate. "I've lived for over eighty years, and I've never seen an upper-level mage of the reputable True Method of the Xuanmen Sect truly display their full power. I know I'm no match for you, and in the next few moments, I might die. So... Mr. Chen, could you allow me to see just how powerful you are when you fully unleash your abilities? Although my mistakes and sins are unforgivable, this is my last wish. Please, show some mercy on account of our past friendship."
Although he had breakthrough to an upper-level mage, which normally made him much stronger than an upper-level mage from an evil sect, the other party had only shown one trick so far, and it was through a sneak attack. The most important thing is that Kangyuan still has the ice ring as a treasure, and now showing such a weak demeanor is clearly a ruse.
However, Chen Yun did not refuse. He had previously seen Kangyuan's escape technique during his time in the centipede's cave - yes, it was earth tunneling.
If it were any other escape technique, Chen Yun could still have stopped it with the Long Dragon Red Blood Array.
Unfortunately, the Long Dragon Red Blood Array cannot stop fire tunnelers and earth tunnelers from escaping.
Therefore, he must seal off Kangyuan's escape routes and then have the chance to kill him.
Thinking about it, Chen Yun smiled slightly, "Alright, I'll grant your last wish."
Kangyuan's eyes flashed with a hint of joy, but it was quickly hidden. He was afraid that Chen Yun would notice and rushed to thank him, "Thank you, Mr. Chen."
Chen Yun did not respond, directly channeled his true essence into his body, then roared loudly, unleashing his strongest power. He stretched out both hands, sending a massive shockwave radiating outward in all directions.
Although he was floating in mid-air, the moment his true essence burst forth, it directly struck the deep pit below and caused it to crack once again. Streams of even hotter purple flames surged out from the ground like waves, roaring with the surge of energy.
This is just the scene on the ground.
It is even more terrifying on the ground.
The terrifying impact waves centered around Chen Yun shook the surroundings, within a radius of a couple hundred miles. The sky and earth turned chaotic with wind and rain. Thunder rumbled.
The clouds in the low sky were shaken by the powerful airwaves and dispersed into countless raindrops that fell down. However, before they reached the ground, they were instantly vaporized by the high temperature into mist that circled in the semi-air.
Several miles away, a small hill was blasted apart by the powerful true essence. Countless boulder-sized rocks were swept up into the air by the shockwave, then crushed into powder, mingling with the steamy mist to become an endless sea of dust!
Kangyuan, having witnessed Chen Yun reveal only a fraction of his power before, knew that a full-scale unleashing would be terrifying. He had already started channeling qi. However, when Chen Yun truly released his full power, Kangyuan was horrified to find that his qi was not enough to withstand the true qi impact. It was instantly broken open and wave after wave of formidable shockwaves, resembling a train crash, relentlessly rushed towards his body!
Bang!
Kangyuan was thrown out by the powerful gust, about a dozen of li away from the original location. He felt as if his entire skeleton had been shattered by this immense force.
However, Kangyuan's face lit up with a smile. He roared with laughter, "Idiot! Old man's going now!"
After saying that, he immediately performed the earth tunneling technique and turned into a beam of earth, diving into the depths of the ground in an attempt to quickly escape from this place.
A shocking scene unfolded before Kangyuan's eyes!
A shocking scene unfolded! As Kangyuan transformed into a beam of earth, ready to merge with the soil for a sprint, he discovered that the depths of the earth were filled with boundless true essence. Not only was the temperature extremely hot, but it was also as hard as steel, rendering his earth tunneling technique ineffective!
At the same time, a loud shout from Chen Yun echoed in the sky, "Come out!"
Soon, Kangyuan felt the earth tremble and mountains shake, as if his entire body was out of control and forcefully lifted from the ground by a powerful force.
Pain!
The piercing pain sank into Kangyuan's bones, deepening his injury!
However, Kangyuan couldn't care about the pain in his body. His eyes were filled with extreme terror. He never expected that his godly skill of earth tunneling, which he relied on to escape, had become ineffective. In fact, Chen Yun's promise to "display" his strongest power was actually a release of true essence that penetrated deep into the earth, preventing him from escaping!
Not even a move has been made yet!
And yet he displays such incredible strength?
And he had effectively wiped out all of Kangyuan's possible ways of escaping?
This... How is it possible for this person to be so powerful while also being so cunning and deep in his thoughts?
At this moment, Kangyuan was both terrified and repentant. He was terrified because he knew that Chen Yun's current powerful strength was beyond anything he could handle. He regretted that when he first realized something was wrong, he should have immediately used earth tunneling to escape instead of "playing smart" and inadvertently allowing Chen Yun to seal off all his escape routes!
At this moment, watching Chen Yun's figure slowly rise in the air, Kangyuan had a feeling of being locked down by a fierce beast. He had an intense premonition that if he didn't make a move now, he would really be finished!
Thinking of this, Kangyuan's gaze involuntarily swept towards the ice ring treasure he wore on his arm.
This... Perhaps this is his only chance to turn the tide!
……
In the sky.
Wu Kejiu, Qin Ming, and Long Niu'er, along with others, have been watching the battle from above.
Initially, they were worried to see Chen Yun being attacked by Kangyuan, but later on, when they saw Chen Yun emerge from the smoke and dust completely unscathed, the whole group was filled with joy and cheers.
Everyone was extremely angry at Kangyuan!
Everyone wished that the treacherous and cunning evil villain was ruthlessly killed by Chen Yun!
Initially, everyone thought that after Chen Yun emerged unscathed from the smoke and dust, he would immediately unleash a fierce attack to kill Kangyuan.
However, to everyone's surprise, Chen Yun did not immediately kill Kangyuan. Instead, he released his qi, creating a tremendous and earth-shattering scene.
They only saw a visible impact wave spreading outwards in all directions on the ground.
Suddenly, the entire area within a radius of one or two hundred miles was enveloped, with lightning flashing and clouds changing color. The earth that had already been blasted out of the deep pit was further shattered by Chen Yun's terrifying gusts and erupted with endless streams of purple flame.
What is even more shocking to Wu Kejiu, Qin Ming, and Long Niu'er is that even though they are hiding in the sky at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, they are still being impacted by this powerful force and have to use all their qi to defend themselves.
They are at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters!
Wu Kejiu, Qin Ming, and Long Niu'er really cannot imagine what it would be like if they were to face Chen Yun's terrifying explosion up close.
Let alone Long Niu'er, Gao Chen, and Ding Xu and the rest of the upper-level mages, who were shocked beyond words.
Even Wu Kejiu and Qin Ming, the upper-level mages, couldn't help but feel their bodies and minds tremble. Deep in their hearts, an involuntary thought emerged: Mr. Chen might already be invincible at the level of upper-level mages?
