Chapter 809: Chapter 802: Stronger Violence

Three days later.

Outside the Chiyan Safety Zone, several figures gathered in a sparsely populated, desolate land.

Four of them stood aside, watching from a distance—they were Anjina, Dorobaku, and their two companions. Meanwhile, Zhou Yuanjue, Qingling, and his three companions stood in a massive clearing.

"By the way, is the improvement from the first layer Transformation Boundary really that huge? That guy took on all four of us at once, and he beat us without even using a Technique Domain?" Dorobaku muttered softly, looking at the people in the distance.

Three days ago, they had been full of excitement, wanting to see just how strong Zhou Yuanjue had become after breaking through the first layer Transformation Boundary. As a result, they had suffered a heavy blow to their confidence.

When the four of them attacked him together, he hadn’t even used a Technique Domain. Yet, in less than three minutes, they couldn’t hold on anymore and had to admit defeat.

This level of strength seemed to far exceed their imagination.

Given the combined strength of the four of them, even someone like Qianyue Jian wouldn’t necessarily lose, but would at least find it troublesome and be forced to use their true strength. They couldn’t figure it out—why would the first layer Transformation Boundary bring such a massive improvement?

"How long do you guys think those four will last at most?" Anjina asked the group.

"Hard to say. Maybe once they recover their strength beyond the first layer Transformation Boundary, their power will also reach an unimaginable level just like Zhou Yuanjue’s," Bodante said with a shrug.

"It’s also possible that Zhou Yuanjue is just a special case. I just can’t shake the feeling that this guy is too extraordinary." Irene shook her head.

"Are you guys coming at me one by one, or all together?" Zhou Yuanjue asked the four people in front of him with a smile.

"All together? You’ve got to be kidding. Are you insulting us?" Qingling shrugged.

The others nodded in agreement. For geniuses like them, ganging up on a single person in a normal sparring match, especially when they were at the same realm, was indeed a massive insult.

"Fine by me. So, who’s going first?" Zhou Yuanjue asked.

"Me, of course. Our last battle didn’t have a satisfying conclusion. This is the perfect opportunity to see just how far you’ve come after breaking through the first layer Transformation Boundary." Qingling stepped forward with a smile.

"Mr. Qingling, everything should follow a first-come, first-served order. Among us, I was the first to arrive at the Chiyan Safety Zone. By rights, I should go first." Bolaka stepped up with a chuckle.

The other two didn’t seem to want to yield either, and they began to argue back and forth.

"Let’s draw lots."

In the end, unable to convince one another, they decided to rely on the most primitive method of luck to determine the turn order. As it turned out, the one with the best luck was surprisingly Nirut, the big oaf.

The other three looked unwilling, but since they had agreed beforehand, they couldn’t go back on their word. They could only retreat to the side, clearing the field for Zhou Yuanjue and Nirut.

"This big oaf hasn’t made any progress in his techniques. No matter how many times he fights, the outcome will be the same," Qianyue Jian said with a cold snort.

"I’m just curious about how much Zhou Yuanjue has improved after breaking through the first layer Transformation Boundary. Nirut might be able to help us test the waters," Qingling said.

While they were conversing, the battle between Nirut and Zhou Yuanjue had already begun in the clearing.

BOOM!!

Nirut’s body instantly mutated as he entered his combat form, the ninety-nine secret holes all over his body opening and closing. However, this time, Zhou Yuanjue could sense a difference in him.

His eyes were no longer a bloodthirsty scarlet. Instead, he looked extremely calm. The flow of his energy wasn’t just purely berserk; it now followed a certain rhythm. His massive body didn’t charge forward on all fours like a wild beast. To everyone’s surprise, he actually assumed a stance similar to the opening position of a martial arts technique.

"I’ve been studying techniques for the past few months. It’s indeed my weak point, but things should be different now.

"Besides, my capabilities above the first layer Transformation Boundary are vastly different from what they were below it. You’d better be careful," Nirut said in a deep voice.

"It seems you’ve made quite a bit of progress as well.

"However, I don’t plan on using any techniques this time.

"On the contrary, I want to test the pure, raw power of this body.

"You should be careful, too," Zhou Yuanjue said with a smile.

"Pure power? Comparing it with mine? Then let me see exactly what kind of capabilities you’ve upgraded," Nirut said with a frown.

He truly didn’t believe that anyone in the same realm could match him in pure, raw power. None of the people present could. He had immense confidence in his own abilities. The reason he had lost to Zhou Yuanjue before wasn’t due to a lack of strength, but a massive gap in skill.

"Well then, watch out." Zhou Yuanjue smiled faintly.

BUZZ!!

As he released his energy, a pristine white Sacred Lotus floated above his head, with Twelve True Meridians flowing within the lotus body.

"White?" Qingling was slightly surprised. Previously, this guy’s Sacred Lotus had been blood-red. It seemed the breakthrough in the Transformation Boundary had indeed brought about a significant change in him.

However, purely from perception, there didn’t seem to be any strong energy fluctuations. Even the sense of threat wasn’t strong. By the looks of it, he wasn’t planning on utilizing his technique insights and was actually going to compete in pure, raw power against that beast?

No matter how you looked at it, this seemed a bit like overestimating himself. To put it bluntly, if they were merely competing in raw power, he wouldn’t even last ten minutes against Nirut.

Zhou Yuanjue’s body slowly arched, and his legs suddenly exerted force.

BOOM!!

Dense cracks instantly spiderwebbed across the ground. From his body, which seemingly carried no major threat or intense energy signature, an absolutely terrifying speed and power erupted.

His respiratory system absorbed massive amounts of energy; his digestive system compressed and stored it, then transported it to the Twelve True Meridians for further compression and acceleration. It was subsequently supplied to every single cell in his body, completely activating his physical energy through the cells’ gravitational pull.

On the surface, there didn’t appear to be any formidable anomalies. But in reality, that was only because Zhou Yuanjue’s abilities had an incredibly high synergy with his body. They had become a part of his bodily functions, making them difficult to perceive and detect.

Nirut’s pupils shrank violently as Zhou Yuanjue appeared right in front of him, striking out with a palm.

His palm was hollowed, as if grasping a true bolt of lightning.

True Vein Seal Technique, Heavenly Punishment Seal!

Terrifying power poured out abruptly. In an instant, Nirut abandoned all his martial stances and let out a massive roar. His ninety-nine Black Abyss Secret Holes completely liberated their energy, wrapping his body in black lightning that resembled a Divine Dragon.

He could feel that the pure, raw power in Zhou Yuanjue’s attack...

...seemed even stronger than his own!!

BOOM!!

Amidst a deafening boom, the palms of the two men clashed together.

THUD THUD THUD!!!

Nirut’s enormous body staggered back over a dozen steps before he could barely steady himself, leaving deep craters in the ground with every step.

In contrast, Zhou Yuanjue had only stepped back three paces.

Although his pure energy reserves were inferior to Nirut’s, the strongest aspect of the Holy Body Structure lay in integrating multiple abilities into one. The functions of his entire body coordinated perfectly, producing an effect where one plus one was far greater than two. This allowed his explosive force to surpass Nirut, who relied on a singular ability.

The Holy Body Structure possessed even stronger, more absolute power!
