Chapter 754 -192: Lu Mountain Kanglong Dominance

The longsword that was about to strike Princess Zhaohua wrenched around. He transformed into a frenzied black streak, abandoning everything to hunt down Chu Fan!

“Chu Fan, don’t go up—!”

Princess Zhaohua’s cry tore through the stifling air, her voice trailing off into a sharp, trembling shriek born of sheer terror.

She watched helplessly as streams of cyan energy erupted around Chu Fan, and with unflinching resolve, he became a meteor streaking defiantly toward the heavens!

‘Is he insane?’

An icy dread filled Princess Zhaohua’s mind.

Of all the unknowns within the Profound Origin Secret Realm, two places were universally feared. The first was the deepest part of the Secret Realm: the fantastical “Realm of Confusion” that had devoured countless mighty predecessors.

Legend said the Burial Immortal Valley lay dormant within, a place of no return.

The other was this seemingly boundless sky above!

That was no ordinary firmament, but the space beneath the “membrane” where the Laws of the Secret Realm intertwined with the outer chaos.

Here, the terrifying Nine Heavens Gang Wind endlessly raged, collided, and annihilated.

The wind wasn’t merely sharp; it was laden with shattered spatial fragments and chaotic torrents of energy.

Even a peak Bright Heart Realm expert, their physical body and Divine Soul forged into one, would never dare to tread there lightly.

If caught within, at best, their Protective Spiritual Light would be shredded in an instant and their body torn to pieces.

At worst, they would be flung into a randomly opening and closing spatial rift, vanishing forever into the endless void—a fate more final than death.

‘What is Chu Fan trying to do?’

‘Is he committing suicide? Or…’

In a flash, Wang Yiyi’s cold fingers clamped down on Princess Zhaohua’s wrist.

The color had drained from her face, yet she recovered from her horror faster than the princess, finding a sliver of resolve. “Go!”

‘There’s no time to figure out what Chu Fan is planning.’

‘If they stayed here, they would be nothing more than an obstacle for Zhang Tianyu to casually eliminate.’

‘Their only slim hope lay in Chu Fan’s monstrous body, which had taken a direct hit from a Ruyi Realm expert’s sword and emerged unscathed.’

‘Maybe… maybe he really could survive in the Gangfeng?’

Wang Yanfeng reacted with lightning speed. The moment Wang Yiyi spoke, he summoned the “Flowing Cloud Disc,” which transformed into a solid bank of clouds.

The four of them leaped aboard, preparing to activate the flying Magical Treasure and escape.

However, the speed of a Ruyi Realm expert was simply too fast…

The instant after Chu Fan shot skyward, Zhang Tianyu’s figure “vanished” from where he stood.

It wasn’t Instant Teleportation, but an afterimage left by a straight-line pursuit of ultimate speed.

He savagely blasted the air apart, creating a continuous chain of sonic booms, like an invisible dragon tearing through the sky in ravenous pursuit.

The speed Chu Fan gained from burning his Wind Seed was already astonishing, but compared to Zhang Tianyu, he was a fledgling desperately flapping its wings before a diving falcon.

The gap was despairing.

In the space of just a few breaths, Zhang Tianyu’s palm, wreathed in destructive black qi, was already less than three feet from Chu Fan’s ankle!

The black qi roiled, faintly coalescing into the shape of a demonic claw. Wherever it passed, even light was devoured and distorted, radiating a deathly chill that could freeze the very Divine Soul.

To be caught would mean snapped tendons, shattered bones, and the complete ruin of his Cultivation!

Princess Zhaohua’s heart stopped.

Just at that hair’s-breadth, do-or-die moment—

Chu Fan, still rocketing upward, activated his Shadow Step, and his body vanished into thin air!

WHOOSH!

The faint sound of displaced air was almost drowned out by the moaning of the Gangfeng.

Chu Fan’s figure appeared behind Zhang Tianyu like a phantom!

Then, in the split second of instinctive hesitation that came from his target vanishing, Chu Fan’s arms snapped shut like iron bands—

—locking themselves around Zhang Tianyu’s waist in a death grip!

Zhang Tianyu: “…?!”

Even with his Ruyi Realm Mental Realm, this sudden, almost thuggish body lock made his mind go blank for a split second.

It wasn’t a Divine Technique, nor a Magical Treasure, not even a sophisticated technique—just a simple, thuggish bear hug, straight out of a back-alley brawl.

Princess Zhaohua, Wang Yiyi, Wang Yanfeng, and Lin Xiao had just stepped onto the Flowing Cloud Disc when they witnessed this. They all froze in place, their faces masks of utter, stupefied disbelief.

‘What… what kind of tactic is that?!’

“Hahahahaha—Lu Mountain Kanglong Dominance!”

Chu Fan’s wild laughter shook the heavens, filled with the exhilaration of a final, desperate gamble and a near-maniacal resolve.

He gave Zhang Tianyu no chance to throw him off. Using Stepping on Gang and Dou, his feet seemed to find purchase on invisible stairs. He engaged his core, and holding the Ruyi Realm “Humanoid Weapon” in his arms, he rocketed toward the iron canopy of the sky once more—even faster and more violently than his own ascent!

He wasn’t trying to escape into the sky.

He meant to drag Zhang Tianyu in with him!

A strange thought even crossed Chu Fan’s mind…

Only now did he realize his move was almost identical to the “Lu Mountain Kanglong Dominance” that Purple Dragon had used against Asura all those years ago.

But in truth, he wasn’t aiming for mutual destruction…

“Fool! Do you think such a thuggish tactic can break my defenses?”

Zhang Tianyu snorted and tried to break free.

Black qi erupted from his body as the terrifying Primordial Qi of his Ruyi Realm cultivation vibrated violently, intending to blast this reckless ant into dust.

But Chu Fan’s arms didn’t budge an inch.

A faint, dark gold light flowed beneath his skin, as if his body wasn’t made of flesh and blood, but forged from divine iron.

The Rebound force from Zhang Tianyu, powerful enough to shatter mountains and split stone, simply vanished without a trace.

The next moment…

KRAKOOM!!!

A ten-yard-wide bolt of blood-red lightning, coiling like an ancient, malevolent dragon, struck down directly from the deepest part of the Secret Realm’s firmament—from the very boundary between Law and chaos!

It struck the tightly embraced pair with unerring accuracy!

“AARGH—!!!”

This time, however, it was Zhang Tianyu who screamed.

His immense Ruyi Realm Spiritual Light and protective black qi were torn asunder by the blood-red, heavenly bolt.

Destructive power surged downward. He bore the brunt of it, his body instantly scorched black as the horrifying sound of splitting skin and groaning bones filled the air.

A wave of agony struck his Divine Soul directly, making his vision go black and his consciousness begin to fray!

Chu Fan was also wracked with violent tremors. The muscles on his arms clutching Zhang Tianyu coiled like dragons and his veins bulged as he absorbed the vast majority of the lightning’s aftershock.

Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes, illuminated by the lightning’s glow, were terrifyingly bright.

Before the blood-red lightning had even faded, their entangled forms, like two meteorites hurled by a god, plummeted downward with a roar, several times faster than they had ascended!

BOOM—!!!!!

An earth-shattering boom.

Below, a relatively flat expanse of gravel was instantly blasted into a bottomless crater over a hundred yards in diameter!

Thick smoke mixed with dust kicked up by the shockwave, forming a small, slowly rising mushroom cloud.

A terrifying, ring-shaped shockwave howled outward, shattering entire swathes of the distant Stone Forest.

Even the Flowing Cloud Disc, which had just ascended a short distance and was about to flee, was violently flung away by the explosive force!

Wang Yanfeng grunted, struggling desperately to stabilize the disc. The shockwave sent the qi and blood of all four passengers churning, and they looked back in horror.

Billowing dust and smoke obscured the center of the massive crater.

Only the residual destructive aura of the blood-red lightning and the wailing wind from the briefly torn layer of Gangfeng—a sound like the weeping of the world’s edge—still lingered in the air. They echoed for a long time, speaking to the utter madness and brutality of that one collision, that one bolt, and that one fall.

All sound temporarily fell silent.

The fate of the two within the deep crater was unknown…

A moment later, Chu Fan’s voice echoed from the crater. “Hahahahaha, just fucking die!”

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

The sound of blows like ten-thousand-ton hammers, so powerful they were Earth-Shaking!

Princess Zhaohua and the others were all petrified…

‘Chu Fan isn’t dead…’

‘Not only is he alive, he sounds full of energy… Is he furiously pummeling Zhang Tianyu?!’
