The surrounding area of the Fire Origin Cave is a wasteland.
Endless blue-white flames burst from the ground, reaching up to several tens of zhang.
However, within the range where Chen Yun and Zhen Qiang were located, those flames acted as if they were thinking beings, instinctively avoiding them.
Zhen Qiang was taken aback by Chen Yun's words at first, but then he laughed loudly, saying, "Your physical body is stronger than mine? That's just a joke!"
In his words, he seemed to turn into a beam of light, disappearing abruptly from the spot.
Chen Yun seemed not to care at all, sighing, "Why try to be strong and suffer for it?"
As he said this, he extended a single finger in front of his face.
The next moment, a punch shimmering with white light seemed to perfectly collide with the finger.
The figure of Zhen Qiang, who had disappeared, reappeared. The veins on his right arm were bulging, and his entire face was as red as a beetroot.
Moreover, a look of incredible disbelief appeared on his face, "You... you could actually with one finger, block my 'Bing Zi' Secret Box's ordinary style?"
His move seemed to be no different from that of ordinary martial warriors, but in reality, the power was a far cry.
It can be said that even if a star were placed before him, Zhen Qiang's punch just now could smash it into pieces.
But just like that, this powerful punch hit Chen Yun's right index finger, yet not only was it blocked by the other, but not even the slightest bit of its power was leaked out?
This could only mean one thing, Chen Yun's strength was far beyond Zhen Qiang's by a countless number of times!
Or, to put it another way, the strength of Chen Yun's physical body was truly something beyond Zhen Qiang's imagination!
Zhen Qiang felt a chilling sensation all at once.
He was born into a world where the only way to achieve immortality was through refining his body.
In order to train his body to be incredibly strong.
He paid for it with countless hardships.
Even many times he almost lost his life.
Only to achieve today's achievements.
Becoming the strongest person in that small world.
He was respected as the "Proud Battle God" by the people of that world!
Now, he has seen the strength of Chen Yun.
Zhen Qiang has for the first time felt the incredible smallness of himself.
Even the fear had arisen in his heart.
He thought that today he might turn thousands of years of hard cultivation into ashes and perish in the cave sky!
After blocking Zhen Qiang's attack, Chen Yun made no attempt to retaliate but calmly said, "Now, if you surrender, you can spare yourself some flesh wounds. Otherwise, once the Taoist becomes angry, your strength won't be able to bear it!"
"Don't even think about it!"
Zhen Qiang was not going to sit back and wait for death, so he roared back a response.
He left again, his figure fading, and at the same time, a sharp shout echoed, "Don't underestimate the power of my 'Bing Zi Secret,' watch my ultimate skill!"
Zzzz!
Zhen Qiang's roar was like a majestic white tiger in the mountains and forests loudly howling.
Suddenly, the ground trembled and the wind roared.
Chen Yun sensed a powerful, extremely Yang energy.
A vast, unimaginable force emerged from all directions, sweeping across in all directions, not only eradicating all the blue-white flames within hundreds of kilometers but also causing the ground to shake violently. Even the nearby small mountains were directly shattered into dust by the force.
Zip!
Before the figure of Zhen Qiang could be seen in the sky, a barrier of qi several tens of zhang long and several eights zhang wide shone brightly.
As soon as the qi appeared, it immediately brought an indescribable power and fiercely chopped towards Chen Yun.
Chen Yun watched with interest, not moving an inch.
Boom!
A resounding boom!
The earth burst into pieces instantaneously.
Dust, lava, and underground water were all shattered and shot into the sky.
Then they were all shattered into "particle" state by this powerful force.
Needless to say, the strength of this strike was incomparably powerful!
Indeed, the "Bing Zi Secret" was created by a revered ancestor from the ancient period in Zhen Qiang's world.
It was said that the ancestor later cultivated into an immortal and successfully ascended to the realm of immortals.
And before his ascension, the "Bing Zi Secret" was a powerful martial art that swept through the heroes of the small world.
Zhen Qiang believed that in front of such a powerful technique, even a Heavenly Immortal at the early stage of the ground realm would not dare to directly bear the power, otherwise, they would definitely be smashed into dust.
Well, it means that the flesh cannot withstand it directly.
In fact, the Earthly Immortal realm is extremely strong. If one were to seriously unleash the essence of the immortals, it could withstand the power.
But that is only for the strong in the Earthly Immortal realm.
Chen Yun only has the post-period of the human immortal realm.
Zhen Qiang does not believe he can withstand it.
Just as Zhen Qiang's thought had just emerged, a voice came from the smoke and dust.
"Use a little more force, I can withstand it."
It was Chen Yun's voice!
Upon hearing this, Zhen Qiang was shocked.
He never imagined that even when he unleashed the "Bing Zi Secret" to its ultimate level, it still couldn't shake him.
"It's your own fault for provoking a Taoist like me, don't blame me for my ruthless actions!"
Zhen Qiang angrily responded with a shout.
Again, he moved at super high speed to avoid being tracked by his enemies.
Zhen Qiang tightly clutched his hands in the air, as if Pan Gu was splitting heaven and earth, once more lashing out at Chen Yun.
This strike was even stronger by three times than the previous one!
But what was truly terrifying to Zhen Qiang was that in the dusty air, Chen Yun seemed not to have any intention to dodge.
The powerful barrier qi released by the second move of the "Bing Zi Secret" struck Chen Yun once more, shaking the land within several thousand miles into dust.
At this time, the surroundings have become void.
Only that the blue lamp still remains intact, suspended in the void and flickering as if mocking Zhen Qiang's ineptitude.
Zhen Qiang was indeed shocked to the core.
The second move he just displayed, known as the Yin-Yang Palace Earth-Shaking Axe.
A single strike was enough to shatter and blow up hundreds of stars at once.
Yet it still couldn't harm Chen Yun?
This is undoubtedly terrifying.
However, even so, Zhen Qiang didn't give up attacking.
Because the "Bing Zi Secret" ultimate technique consists of nine moves, each wave of attack is three times more fierce than the previous one.
The ninth wave of attack was even eight times more powerful than the first, extremely fierce!
Usually, practitioners can't fully unleash the power of the "Bing Zi Secret" ultimate technique.
Even if they could barely perform the first two moves, they would suffer from backlash, harming both themselves and others.
Zhen Qiang is different, his physical body is incredibly strong and he can fully unleash the power of all seven moves.
As for the eighth style, he was somewhat struggling to unleash it.
The ninth style isn't that it can't be executed.
Once activated, he might suffer severe harm to himself.
Therefore, in previous confrontations, Zhen Qiang had never considered using the eighth or ninth styles.
Chen Yun's strength had long surpassed Zhen Qiang's imagination.
Based on the current situation, he estimated that the eighth style might not be enough to deal with Chen Yun. Only the ninth style had a chance to kill him.
Thinking of this, Zhen Qiang became resolute.
Although using the ninth style will also cause him to suffer severe harm, he has no other choice.
But if he doesn't use it now, he won't have any hope of survival.
After deciding to use the ninth style, a pair of white beams shot out from Zhen Qiang's eyes.
The entire force in his body was mobilized, and his body actually seemed to expand by a circle!
……
With all his effort as a middle-stage human immortal, an terrifying aura immediately spread throughout the entire Lalu Island and the Moon and Sun Gushing Spring.
It attracted the attention of the remaining few immortals, who focused on this battle.
As for others who had not achieved immortality, even if they were thousands of miles away from here, they still felt a powerful sense of oppression, making it difficult for them to breathe.
For example, Yuan Chu in the distant Teacher Realm, even though he has reached the level of a teacher, he still feels as if a mountain is pressing on his body, and he is constantly gasping over there.
Yuan Chu, anxious to look, saw a beam of white light like a wolf smoke directly shooting into the sky, penetrating the clouds and sky, as if the North Pole's light had cut through the sky!
What was even more fierce was that this beam of white light, as it spread out in the sky, seemed to gradually form into a huge whirlpool.
Within this immense whirlpool, Yuan Chu felt an ancient, solemn, and deadly taste of chaos.
It's as if it's not a immortal performing infinite powers over there, but a god who holds life and death in their hands.
That domineering aura did not allow for any resistance, and any transgression would result in death!
……
Yuan Chu, who is tens of thousands of miles away, can feel such powerful and unstoppable aura.
Let alone Chen Yun, who is facing Zhen Qiang directly.
Looking on with admiration at the "performance" of Zhen Qiang, Yuan Chu thinks that this set of martial arts is really good.
Of course, it's just that he thinks it's good.
In fact, Chen Yun didn't even take that strike seriously.
"The Heavenly Galaxy Dropfall Style!"
Zhen Qiang roared and split downwards with empty hands, unleashing the third move of the ultimate technique.
A barrier of qi resembling the falling Milky Way, dazzling like a gathering of a thousand suns, shone brightly among the high-altitude clouds, blinding to the point of being unendurable!
Boom!
The third strike hit Chen Yun's body again!
Chen Yun still stood in the void, as light as a breeze and calm as clouds, allowing the fierce barrier of qi to engulf him.
The fourth strike!
The sixth strike!
The eighth strike!
Each strike is earth-shattering and can envelop everything!
In a short time, Zhen Qiang had already unleashed the eighth move of the ultimate technique.
The light and spiritual Qi chaos produced by the explosions completely obscured the view and confused Zhen Qiang, preventing him from sensing Chen Yun's fate.
The power of the eighth move is too strong.
Even Zhen Qiang, with his incredibly strong flesh, felt all his muscles, tendons, and skin membranes burst open at this moment, with crimson blood splattering everywhere.
Feeling like he could not hold on any longer, but fearing that Chen Yun would not die, Zhen Qiang bit his teeth and shouted fiercely, "The ninth move: The Heavenly Thunder Dancing Through the Nine Heavens and Shaking Style!"
A bright light as bright as the sun and moon shone forth.
Moreover, within the light, there were zizi lightning sounds.
There were thick as an arm lightning serpents visible and invisible in the white light.
This was not ordinary thunder, but the powerful barrier of qi and lightning that Zhen Qiang had refined from his essence of immortality. Its power was far beyond ordinary.
As expected, before this move was struck down, the leaked immense power had already torn the space apart, creating tiny cracks. In the silent and dark void, the white light shot down fiercely!
Like a white rainbow piercing the sun!
Even more, it brought along tens of thousands of lightning forces as thick as arms!
"Explosion!"
Zhen Qiang screamed!
This terrifying strike descended, sizzle!
The lightning beam shot up, instantly expanding to several hundred meters wide and plummeting straight down!
"Interesting."
Chen Yun was drowned by the lightning beam, smiling with a face full of joy.
Thump, thump-thump, the rumbling sound lasted for a full minute before it stopped!
The white light of the lightning and thunder gradually dispersed.
Zhen Qiang seemed to have lost all strength, his body falling downward continuously.
And, his entire body was spewing blood, as if he had suffered a severe injury.
Hūchī.
Hūchī.
Zhen Qiang was breathing heavily.
Is he dead?
Is that bearded scholar dead?
As Zhen Qiang bled and fell, he stared fiercely towards the direction where the explosion's glow was receding.
However, what made Zhen Qiang lose hope was that...
He saw that after the glow faded, a figure still floated there, looking as light as breeze and calm as clouds!
"What?"
"How can he not be killed by such a powerful strike?"
Zhen Qiang was shaken.
Chen Yun seemed to sense Zhen Qiang's shock in his heart and responded with a faint smile.
"It's over!"
This is definitely done for!
Zhen Qiang was bitter and despairing to the extreme.
He never imagined that even after enduring the backlash and suffering severe injuries to unleash the "Bing Zi Secret" ultimate technique's nine moves, he still couldn't kill Chen Yun...
No, should say that none of them could harm even a single hair on Chen Yun's body...
Now, what awaited him seemed to be death, with no other possibilities left.
Death is not terrifying.
The terrifying thing is that Zhen Qiang just told Chen Yun the secret of "Wan Jia Light."
Next, he is very likely to be burned to ashes and annihilated in the "Wan Jia Light"!
Thinking of this, Zhen Qiang shivered all over.
To an immortal, death is not too terrifying because there is always the possibility of reincarnation and rebirth.
Perhaps in a future life, if fate is good, he may have taken some kind of earthly and celestial root, regained his past cultivation, and could return to the path of cultivation again.
But this annihilation of form and spirit, is something no immortal would dare to face.
Everyone knows what it means to be annihilated of form and spirit.
It means that one can never have the opportunity to turn things around, and it means that life truly passes away!
"No!" Zhen Qiang cursed silently in his heart, "I would rather die than let him succeed!"
Thinking of this, he immediately decided to shatter his meridians and vessels.
And destroy the barely formed yet somewhat powerful spirit essence.
As Zhen Qiang was about to do so, something even more terrifying happened.
Suddenly, he felt as if his entire body's power was "sealed" and he couldn't move even the slightest bit!
Zhen Qiang's pupils constricted abruptly, finally realizing that Chen Yun was even more powerful than he had previously imagined.
So powerful that he can "seal" all of his powers without a trace!
If Chen Yun is the sun in the sky, then Zhen Qiang's best might just be the light of a single oil lamp.
Yes, the gap is that great!
Zhen Qiang has lived for over a thousand years.
He ruled over the small world for five or six hundred years.
He truly hadn't expected that one day he would meet an opponent as deep and unfathomable as Chen Yun.
"No regrets." Zhen Qiang revealed a miserable expression, "To lose to such an incredible bearded scholar, it's not unfair. I'm not unfair either!"
He closed his eyes in a state of extreme sorrow and waited quietly for death to arrive.
Indeed, Zhen Qiang didn't have to wait long before he felt a powerful and irresistible force that pulled him and threw his body towards a place of extreme heat.
Soon, the terrifying high-temperature explosion occurred, and Zhen Qiang lost consciousness completely.
Chen Yun had his hands behind his back, looking at Zhen Qiang, who had been burnt to ashes in the "Wan Jia Light," and he couldn't help but sigh.
At first, he hadn't thought of killing someone for no reason.
It's a shame that Zhen Qiang had evil thoughts towards himself and made such an aggressive move as an attack.
If he didn't kill the other party and offer them up to refine the "Wan Jia Light," it would be hard to justify.
He also just sighed lightly and looked at the "Wan Jia Light" with a calm gaze, wondering if the amazing celestial lamp would truly give him control after sacrificing Zhen Qiang, this immortal.
