"I thought this battle would be somewhat interesting, but now, I see you're no better than that Chu Sheng. Useless, what other tricks do you have!" Dian Wei bellowed, wielding his twin halberds.
Chu Fan stood in the void, his long spear now cracked in several places, and his entire right arm trembled faintly.
"You dare to scorn me!"
"Die!"
Chu Fan gripped his azure long spear and brought it down in a vertical strike. The azure spear light surged like a tidal wave, a rune flickering at his brow. The moment this rune appeared, an ancient aura swept out, a destructive force as if the souls of countless beings were screaming within it. It was evident that this rune had devoured much blood energy in ancient times. Covering the spear light, it shattered the vast skies, and fragments of broken space clattered amidst the torrent of qi.
This rune was inherited from the Immortal Lord, akin to the Wang family's Longevity Art or the Jian family's Arrow Art. The Chu family lineage inherited a grand formation for augmenting combat. This formation was passed down through a special bloodline, and as the rune circulated, terrifying auras enveloped the spear intent. Chu Fan, holding the long spear, now seemed like an ancient behemoth emerging, causing all things to sink with a flip of his hand. The boundless void collapsed, and his spear intent blazed, invincible.
Dian Wei gazed at the terrifying spear light, wielding his Vermillion Bird-transformed iron halberds to meet it with all his might. The halberd light, carrying immense crimson divine fire, obstructed the dense spear light that rained down like a storm. The clang of metal against metal in the void never ceased. Crimson fire dragons flew, azure divine light burst forth, and space shattered and reformed, only to shatter again.
The rune on Chu Fan's brow flickered, and a cold smile touched his lips. He stood in the sky, his long spear flowing with the rune's divine light, constantly empowering it. With a swing of his arms, it was as if hundreds of spear shadows were unleashed, striking downwards repeatedly. The spear light, amplified by the rune's power, delivered a devastating blow, truly terrifying.
"Boom!"
The myriad spear shadows merged into one and smashed forward furiously. The void collapsed, resembling a gray dragon, carrying azure divine light, lunging at Dian Wei.
"Hahaha, come on!"
Dian Wei laughed wildly, whirling his Vermillion Bird twin halberds to block the gray dragon's advance. Sparks flew, dark clouds dispersed, and crimson streaks of light flashed everywhere.
Boom!
A deafening explosion echoed from afar. Wang Zhuo was sent flying backward from a massive mushroom cloud. Compared to Xia Xin Yu's swift victory, Wang Zhuo was in a truly wretched state.
"Alas!"
He looked at his severed right arm. "Hong Ba Zhen was indeed formidable. It took all my trump cards to barely kill him."
Both were reincarnated supreme beings. The greater reason Wang Zhuo survived was that he was an ancient being with countless hidden cards. He had exhausted all his combat trump cards to slay Hong Ba Zhen, demonstrating that Hong Ba Zhen, a rising star, was also extraordinary.
"This human, Dian Wei, is truly remarkable. With merely thirty years of cultivation, he can withstand Chu Fan's rune attacks. What is the origin of the Great Han Divine Dynasty?"
Wang Zhuo, drawn by Dian Wei's battle, swallowed a pill to heal his severed right arm and couldn't help but sigh.
Chu Fan was now employing the ancient rune inherited from the Chu family lineage, augmenting his long spear. His divine power would undoubtedly double, piercing heaven and earth, sweeping away all opposition. Yet, he was unable to overcome the human Dian Wei. Even he himself would have to handle it with caution if he were to face him, and might have to resort to some trump cards. But here, the human Dian Wei was directly blocking Chu Fan's onslaught with the power of his bare twin halberds.
"Xia Xin Yu?"
Wang Zhuo gazed into the distance, seeing Xia Xin Yu, accompanied by Long Ju and Yang You Ji, heading deeper within. He scanned several intense battlefields, pondered for a long time, and then rose to follow in Xia Xin Yu's direction.
"Boom!"
In the void, Dian Wei annihilated the gray dragon. The Vermillion Bird twin halberds in his hands whirled wildly. The Vermillion Bird armor he wore now emanated layers of crimson divine light. Empowered by the divine beast's might, flames blazed in Dian Wei's eyes, and his divine power surged instantly as he charged towards Chu Fan. The void cracked, and the two traversed thousands of miles, their clashes causing significant geographical changes.
"Human, I truly underestimated you!"
Chu Fan looked at the extraordinary armor on Dian Wei, his expression growing solemn. He had intended to use the ancient rune for a swift victory, but he hadn't expected this human, Dian Wei, to have his own trump cards, even suppressing him at one point. He looked at Dian Wei and let out a roar, his left hand grasping the rune at his brow and suppressing it onto his long spear. The azure long spear instantly turned deep blue.
"Boom!"
His entire body instantly became ethereal, expanding outwards layer by layer. In three breaths, he grew a thousand feet tall. Deep blue divine light surged in all directions. The thousand-foot-tall phantom gradually solidified, and Chu Fan, like a giant, stood a thousand feet high. His cold eyes opened, like the divine sun in the nine heavens.
The deep blue long spear, a full three thousand feet long, seemed to support the heavens, stirring the winds and clouds for thousands of miles. Each step he took shattered thousands of miles of land, and an immense, terrifying aura enveloped the surroundings!
Chu Fan was now unleashing the rune's most powerful combat technique, using his body as the foundation, augmenting it with divine power, and continuously stimulating the killing intent contained within the rune. However, what truly condensed the rune's divine power was the deep blue long spear clutched in his hand.
"Kill!"
With a mighty roar, heaven and earth trembled. The colossal Chu Fan swung his three-thousand-foot deep blue long spear, tearing through heaven and earth, shattering the void, and smashing down at Dian Wei. Heaven and earth darkened, all four directions were extinguished!
"Fight!"
A thousand-foot Vermillion Bird divine beast ignited behind Dian Wei. The twin halberds in his hands came alive, smashing forward ferociously. At this moment, it was as if a tiny needle was striking a colossal tree trunk, and with a resounding boom, waves of energy swept out.
Inch by inch, the land beneath the impact of these energy waves churned up soil dozens of feet deep, causing entire swathes of void to collapse completely.
"Bang!"
Dian Wei, wielding his twin halberds, felt his blood vessels pumping vigorously. With sheer might of his halberds alone, he resisted the three-thousand-foot deep blue long spear. The fierce battle between the two directly overshadowed the battlefields of Wang Yun Xuan, Wang Le, Hong Fei Yang, and Hong Yi Xiu not far away.
Even Xia Xin Yu and Wang Zhuo, who were tens of thousands of miles away, looked back in shock, gazing at the towering figures.
"I never imagined he could force Chu Fan to use this move!"
Wang Zhuo exclaimed. Although the Chu family's inherited ancient rune from the Immortal Lord did not embody its full divine essence, it was extraordinary that Chu Fan could push it to this extent.
