Chapter 559 Violence 2

"Your body... I’m taking it."

Gan Ming snarled in a low voice.

"You want my body? I’m afraid you’re not capable enough."

Zhao Xuanqi’s expression was calm. The third gate of the Dragon Gate had been his limit in his past life, but it was far from the limit of this current body.

HUMMM!!

Above his five vital organs, the forms of five talismans manifested simultaneously, rapidly expanding and appearing on the surface of his body.

Most importantly, a strange connection seemed to form between the five talismans. They rotated in sync with the rapid cycling of his five organs, eventually merging completely, undergoing a massive transformation in both form and essence.

The five talismans formed an array, becoming one.

The Formless Array Map, the Talisman Wheel!!

"Six Dips?!"

Ling and the Ten Thousand Laws Inference immediately recognized that the talismanic form, born from the fusion of the Formless Array Map, had faintly reached a kind of limit.

Below the Innate realm, a Six Dips talisman was the absolute limit!

A talisman applied to the body wasn’t an external Attack Technique that drew upon Primordial Qi, but a Body Rune that acted upon the body itself.

It stimulated the body’s Primordial Qi, strengthened muscles and skin, and pushed one’s Physical Ability to a higher peak.

However, without exception, all Body Runes placed immense pressure on the user’s body. A Six Dips-level talisman was even more extreme. Even with Vitality to sustain it, could his body’s fundamental essence truly withstand it?!

A question arose in the minds of both the Ten Thousand Laws Incarnation and Ling.

Indeed, with Zhao Xuanqi’s original physical strength, he wouldn’t have been able to withstand a talisman of this level. Using it even briefly would have left him severely injured and near death. It was a last resort, granting him a burst of power that lasted only a few breaths.

But now, his Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Acupoints were temporarily opened, as if seventy-two steel nails sealing his body had been pulled out. With the Dragon Blood Secret Technique active, allowing him complete freedom of control, how could this be an ordinary situation?

GURGLE! GURGLE!

Zhao Xuanqi’s body swelled further, his height suddenly approaching three meters. He looked as if he were transforming into a Giant Spirit.

The culmination of his gains from his past and present lives allowed him to reach an even greater level of strength.

This was the infinite possibility!!

The formidable power surging within him gave him an urgent need to unleash it.

"It begins."

His voice was like rolling thunder. The next moment, he slightly raised his arms. With a faint tremor, he simultaneously pushed off with his feet.

BOOM!!

His sudden acceleration sent terrifying ripples spreading through the air. At this moment, the speed Zhao Xuanqi displayed was almost beyond what the eyes of Ling and the Ten Thousand Laws Incarnation could track.

There was no propulsion from Primordial Qi drawn by a Technique, only the raw outpouring of terrifying physical power.

Unbelievable!!

’Is this the body of a Limit Breaker from the Infinite Dao?!’

At the same time, facing Zhao Xuanqi’s sudden attack, a rare sense of terror welled up in Gan Ming’s heart. He hadn’t even felt this way when facing the Ten Thousand Laws Incarnation using its Secret Technique.

But the more this happened, the more his heart burned with greed for that body.

’It’s mine! It has to be mine!!’

HUMMM!!

His mouth opened and closed, spreading silent Sound Waves. At the same time, his Cyan and Red Ghost Pupils fixed on Zhao Xuanqi, each one rotating independently.

He intended to use the Sound Waves in concert with the ability of his Cyan and Red Ghost Pupils to directly distort the flow of Primordial Qi inside Zhao Xuanqi’s body.

The stronger the Physical Ability, the greater the backlash from a chaotic surge of internal Primordial Qi, to say nothing of his opponent currently being empowered by a Body Rune.

’Does he think he can counter me just by not using Primordial Qi attacks?’

’How naive. Without the defense of Primordial Qi, the effect of my Cyan and Red Ghost Pupils on the human body will only be greater. Back then, the Evil Spirit who possessed these pupils killed people directly with just a look!’

Even with Zhao Xuanqi’s rapid movements, he was still caught by the ability of the Cyan and Red Ghost Pupils. His figure visibly distorted as a force bypassed his skin, penetrated deep into his body, and tried to affect the flow of his Qi and Blood.

However, for an ordinary Martial Artist, the Qi and Blood pathways in the body were winding and complex, making them easier to influence. But now, under the Dragon Blood Secret Technique, new channels for Qi and Blood had been constructed between the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Acupoints. For an ordinary Martial Artist, this was the difference between a stream and a great river—how could the two even be mentioned in the same breath?

ROAR!!

A sound like a dragon’s roar erupted from within Zhao Xuanqi’s body. The force that was twisting his Qi and Blood and Primordial Qi was instantly blasted away by the torrent of Qi and Blood that raged like a berserk dragon.

Under the effects of the Dragon Blood Secret Technique, a single surge of Zhao Xuanqi’s Qi and Blood could neutralize all sorts of terrifying direct impacts and vibrations, rendering his body nearly impervious to all evil. The mere influence of a pair of eyes was not yet enough to break through the power of Zhao Xuanqi’s Dragon Blood!!

BANG!!

The air churned. Zhao Xuanqi’s body broke through the influence of the Cyan and Red Ghost Pupils and continued to close in on Gan Ming.

’He’s completely unaffected?! What in the world is going on inside his body?!’

Gan Ming’s heart shook. He had never expected the influence of his Cyan and Red Ghost Pupils to be rendered completely ineffective.

Seeing Zhao Xuanqi about to reach him, he let out a sudden roar. A massive amount of Primordial Qi flooded into his right arm. In an instant, nine jade-colored arms manifested, pressing down on Zhao Xuanqi from all directions, covering nearly the entire area.

Even an expert like Ling, who could launch an Innate Strike using the Hundred Flowers Array, would have difficulty withstanding such a terrifying attack head-on.

However, in Zhao Xuanqi’s eyes, this seemingly meticulous attack that covered everything was actually riddled with holes.

SWISH!

His arms vibrated. His massive frame displayed unimaginable agility. His body shifted rapidly, and combined with short bursts of Gang Qi, he was like a true bird in flight, weaving between the flailing jade arms with incredible grace.

Closer again!!

Seeing the obvious change in Gan Ming’s expression, a hint of mockery appeared in Zhao Xuanqi’s eyes.

’Yes, this man’s abilities are indeed bizarre, and his power is certainly great. If other Martial Artists attacked him using only Primordial Qi techniques, defeating him would be an incredibly difficult task. Even a master like Ling was put at a disadvantage in their brief clash.’

’However, once his abilities fail, or even just partially fail, his true state is exposed.’

’How could he possibly use stolen power and patched-together abilities as if they were an extension of his own body?’

’Ultimately, he’s just an ordinary person who stumbled into great power and acts recklessly because of it!!’

SWISH!!

In an instant, Zhao Xuanqi’s body had endured the lock-on from the Cyan and Red Ghost Pupils, bypassed the attack range of the jade arms, and appeared right in front of Gan Ming.

As their eyes met, the towering figure, the unbeatable posture, and the almost condescending gaze ignited a fierce jealousy and shame-fueled rage in Gan Ming’s heart.

HAAH!!

He suddenly thrust his left arm toward Zhao Xuanqi. A terrifying black vortex instantly formed in front of him like a shield, separating him from Zhao Xuanqi.

However, Zhao Xuanqi paid the black vortex no mind at all.

He stepped forward, advanced, and struck with his palm!!

BOOM!!

His massive, fan-like palm plunged directly into the black vortex. The vortex’s influence was beyond imagination; even with the support of the Dragon Blood Secret Technique, he couldn’t completely block its effects. A constant stream of Primordial Qi was being drawn from his body.

However, this level of influence would only affect his stamina consumption, because he wasn’t attacking with Primordial Qi, but with his physical body!

The huge palm passed through the distorted vortex, growing larger and larger in Gan Ming’s eyes like a descending canopy of heaven.

His final line of defense was shattered by Zhao Xuanqi in the most brutish and violent manner!!

The giant palm slammed down upon Gan Ming’s head.

For a moment, time seemed to freeze.

The next second.

BANG!!

Gan Ming’s body shot backward like a cannonball. The instantaneous acceleration created three concentric rings of air, and he smashed into the buildings behind him at a speed the naked eye could barely follow.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!

Walls collapsed, roofs shattered, pillars snapped, and dust and smoke filled the air. In that instant, it was impossible to tell how many buildings Gan Ming’s body had crashed through.

Behind him, the Ten Thousand Laws Incarnation and Ling stood frozen in place, watching the scene unfold.

’Without drawing on the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, without any Techniques, Talismans, or external projection of Primordial Qi... to be able to reach this level with pure physical strength?’
