Chapter 259: Chapter 161: Absolute Domination, Paying Respects to the Eldest Senior Brother

"It’s done."

Watching the body cultivator close in on the white-clad youth, the several peerless prodigies of the Beardless Sect pinned to the Beardless Dojo voiced this thought almost instinctively.

Not to mention them, even Mu Yunshang and Jun Yichen—the last two remaining of the top ten—felt an inexplicable surge of joy at the sight.

"Junior Brother Fan, show him the true terror of a body cultivator!"

"Body cultivators have the most terrifying close-range explosive power. Bar none. As a Great Power of Transcendence, how can he lack such basic common sense? And he still wants to be the Eldest Senior Brother of our Beardless Sect?"

"To think that the dignity of us ten would ultimately rely on Junior Brother Fan to salvage. Body cultivators truly are the most dreaded type of cultivator."

Countless elders and cultivators couldn’t help but sigh in awe. After all, among the top ten peerless prodigies of the Beardless Sect, only this one had managed to get close to the youth.

However, just as everyone was lost in their own thoughts, already picturing the white-clad youth being sent flying and severely injured...

Suddenly, Jiang Hao moved.

His hand, previously clasped behind his back, violently clenched into a fist. He took a half-step back, gathered the strength of his entire body, and threw a vicious punch.

For this punch, the youth did not mobilize a single ounce of the Power of Transcendence. He relied solely on the explosive power of his physical body.

Although he had yet to practice any physical martial arts, the bodily strength of the Thirty-Three Heavens—even when unleashed so crudely—was unimaginably terrifying.

The moment Jiang Hao threw his punch, the surrounding void visibly collapsed and annihilated. The sheer might of the fist churned the world itself, as if threatening to shatter the nine heavens.

"What? You...?"

Sensing the raw physical power erupting from his opponent’s fist, the burly youth looked up, his eyes roiling with stormy disbelief and absolute horror.

But it was too late to retreat. Their fists were destined to collide in a fraction of a second, leaving zero room to pull back.

In a split second.

BOOM!

As their fists clashed, the two terrifying physical forces rammed into each other, unleashing an earth-shattering explosion.

Fearsome power rippled outward, swallowing the heavens and shaking the earth.

Unlike the Power of Transcendence, physical force was nearly invisible and colorless. Its exact form couldn’t be seen, but the shockwaves that blasted outward like ripples were plainly visible.

RUMBLE!

Almost instantaneously, the void around the two of them caved in madly, collapsing layer by layer. The destruction extended endlessly, sweeping across the entire void in the blink of an eye. The energy fluctuations it emitted were world-shaking.

At the same time, a faint CRACK sounded out.

It was the noise of bones snapping. Though quiet, it reached everyone’s ears.

The sound of fracturing bone was immediately followed by a muffled thud.

BOOM!

"Argh—!"

The crowd watched as Junior Brother Fan, the bearer of all their hopes, was blasted backward. He shot across the sky like an arrow unleashed from a bow.

However, Jiang Hao didn’t have it easy either. Forced a half-step back, he looked up sharply, a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes.

"A body cultivation martial art?"

This was Jiang Hao’s first thought. His opponent’s physical realm definitely hadn’t reached the Thirty-Three Heavens, but by relying on some martial art tailored for body cultivators, Fan Tian had managed to focus all his bodily strength into a single point for a total explosive release.

This force made the webbing of Jiang Hao’s hand sting. It felt as though he had just slammed into a massive mountain, leaving his entire body feeling like it was about to fall apart.

Yet, compared to the minor shock in Jiang Hao’s heart, the entire Beardless Sect felt as though they had been struck by ten thousand bolts of lightning, blasting their minds to pieces.

The moment they saw their great hope, Junior Brother Fan, go flying backward, everyone was stunned.

Truly and utterly stunned.

"What?"

"Heavens, what did I just see?"

"Senior Brother Fan... he... he...?"

Senior Brother Fan was actually sent flying. How was this possible?

At this moment, everyone’s gazes were frozen, as if they had lost the ability to process anything before them.

Inside the Beardless Saint Hall.

The instant Fan Tian was blown away, Master Beardless and the other two felt their scalps go numb. It was as if an electric current had surged through them from head to toe.

The three men stepped forward simultaneously, standing in a row as they stared blankly at the figure in the center of the dojo.

"A body cultivator?"

Master Beardless, Master Wuchen, and Master Wugou said almost in unison, their ancient eyes filled with indescribable shock.

Master Beardless, in particular, was genuinely trembling, his breathing accelerating to several times its normal rate.

"He... he’s also a body cultivator? How is that possible?"

"Isn’t this kid’s primary focus on his cultivation base? How can his physical body be this strong?"

"If I remember correctly, the Fan kid’s physical realm has already reached the Thirty-Two Heavens, hasn’t it? You could even say he has one foot in the Thirty-Three Heavens. He’s a Half-Step Thirty-Three Heavens body cultivator."

And yet, a body cultivator at the Half-Step Thirty-Three Heavens physical realm, while using a body cultivation martial art, was actually blasted away by a single punch?

Didn’t that mean the figure’s physical realm was even more terrifying and fearsome than Fan Tian’s?

"A physical realm of the Thirty-Three Heavens!"

Looking at that absurdly young figure, Master Beardless was so shocked that he was practically speechless.

The Thirty-Three Heavens.

That youth’s physical realm had reached the staggering level of the Thirty-Three Heavens!

What kind of world-shocking monster was this? It was one thing for his cultivation base to crush the seven peerless prodigies of the Beardless Sect, but to think he had even crushed their sole peerless body cultivator!

After all, that figure had only unleashed his raw physical strength just now; he hadn’t used any body cultivation martial arts at all.

Or rather, it seemed the youth didn’t know any. A body cultivator who had practiced martial arts would never throw a punch so completely devoid of technique and utterly barbaric.

But it was exactly this kind of punch that had sent Fan Tian flying.
