I Don't Have Any Divine Abilities, I'm Just Rather Big
Boom!
His enormous body, more than a hundred thousand li long, surged forward. The entire Myriad Sha Abyss shook violently at that moment!
Lu Yuan swept both fins, and his terrifying physical strength squeezed the Sha Sea ahead into two towering waves. Space twisted constantly along his path, and vast stretches of rock wall crumbled with a roar beneath the terrifying blast before they even touched his body.
Shen Ni's eyes narrowed slightly.
He could naturally tell that Lu Yuan had used no Law Technique or Divine Ability in this attack.
Relying on physical strength alone, he had unleashed such terrifying might.
Most striking was the enormous head charging straight at him, its surface covered in thick, dark-gold scales. Silver-white star patterns flickered across it as Qi and Blood circulated.
The pressure bearing down on him even left Shen Ni somewhat surprised.
"What a powerful body!"
Shen Ni gave a low shout and vanished from the spot.
The next moment.
Lu Yuan's enormous head slammed through the place where he had just stood!
Rumble!
The void within tens of thousands of li abruptly collapsed.
The black-and-red Sha Sea, which Shen Ni's pressure had held in check, was thrown up by a terrifying impact, forming enormous walls of water thousands of li high.
The Ferocious Beasts watching from afar had yet to react before the oncoming blast sent them staggering backward.
A Golden Immortal Ferocious Beast looked up in terror at the black wall of water growing before it, then hurriedly drew on its Law Power to flee farther away.
"Retreat! We can't stay here!"
Several Ferocious Beasts beside it turned deathly pale with fright.
They had already retreated what they thought was a safe distance. Who could have imagined that the aftermath of a single charge from Lu Yuan could reach them here?
The Taiyi Realm Ferocious Beast King immediately raised a protective divine light, its eyes fixed on the direction where Lu Yuan was.
"Such might from physical strength alone! This Grand Void Sky Whale's power is simply more terrifying than that of many Great Luo who specialize in tempering their bodies!"
Its voice was full of shock.
A Golden Immortal Ferocious Beast beside it couldn't help swallowing.
"If that blow had landed on this king, I'm afraid there wouldn't even have been a scrap of bone left!"
Meanwhile.
Lu Yuan had missed, but he did not continue to pursue blindly.
His body was simply too large.
It was clearly unrealistic to rely on agility when fighting a top expert like Shen Ni.
Just now, Shen Ni had easily dodged without even trying to block.
Lu Yuan quickly realized this.
He adjusted his direction slightly, turning his enormous head back toward Shen Ni.
Shen Ni stood in the void tens of thousands of li away, hands behind his back as he watched Lu Yuan, his face calm once more.
"Good power. A pity your movements are too obvious."
"Powerful as your body is," Shen Ni said mildly, "I'm afraid you're still a long way from hitting this emperor with that method alone."
Lu Yuan did not argue.
Shen Ni did have a point.
Even so, he did not give up.
The Grand Void Sky Whale was enormous and not particularly agile, but its true advantage lay in the range of its attacks.
As long as he got close.
Shen Ni would have to face his body.
With that thought, Lu Yuan swept his massive fins again.
This time, however, he did not charge straight ahead.
Instead, he slowly turned, bringing his enormous flank to face Shen Ni.
At the same time.
A terrifying suction suddenly erupted from Lu Yuan's mouth!
Whoosh!
The Sha Sea, which had been calm, erupted into turmoil once more.
Vast quantities of black-and-red seawater were drawn toward Lu Yuan's enormous mouth, pouring madly into it.
Standing in the void, Shen Ni felt the suction as well.
The fierce wind whipped his robes into a flutter, and even the surrounding Principles began to fluctuate faintly.
"Trying to swallow again?"
Shen Ni frowned slightly.
This time, Lu Yuan had clearly widened the range of his devouring considerably.
Space within tens of thousands of li was affected.
Even with cultivation far beyond that of an ordinary Great Luo, Shen Ni had to divert some of his strength to steady himself.
That was the moment Lu Yuan had been waiting for.
His massive fins swept violently!
Boom!
His enormous body suddenly surged sideways.
This time, Lu Yuan slammed more than half his flank straight at Shen Ni!
With such a vast area covered, it was clearly not so easy for Shen Ni to evade using an ordinary movement technique.
Shen Ni's expression changed slightly.
"Interesting!"
He did not continue to dodge.
He raised a hand, and a Blood Principle barrier rapidly formed directly in front of him.
The next moment.
Lu Yuan's enormous flank crashed into it!
Rumble!
Another terrifying collision erupted!
The blood-colored barrier shook violently, the Ferocious Beast patterns on its surface flickering continuously. Shen Ni, whose body had remained steady, finally took a step back.
Just one step.
But to the Ferocious Beasts watching from afar, it was enough to make them completely lose their composure!
"His Majesty stepped back?!"
The Taiyi Ferocious Beast King's eyes widened, and it even forgot to maintain its protective divine light.
A Golden Immortal Ferocious Beast beside it was equally horrified.
"His Majesty the Beast Emperor was knocked back!"
"How is that possible?! His Majesty is the supreme emperor of our Ferocious Beast Clan!"
A Ferocious Beast with six arms instinctively took two steps forward, its eyes fixed on the center of the battlefield.
Shen Ni had just broken through Lu Yuan's scales with one palm strike, and the Ferocious Beasts had thought the battle would not last long.
Who could have imagined.
In the blink of an eye.
Lu Yuan would also be able to knock Shen Ni back head-on with his body!
Although Shen Ni was uninjured, that single step back still left them incredulous.
Inside the Beast Emperor Palace.
The black-armored giant's expression also changed slightly.
It instinctively clenched its fists, staring intently at the water mirror.
"That fellow's strength..."
The white-bone giant beside it couldn't help saying, "That charge actually shook His Majesty's barrier of Principles?"
Qiongqi watched the scene, its expression growing solemn.
After all, it had personally endured the force of Lu Yuan's tail.
Now that it saw Shen Ni knocked back head-on as well, it was not all that surprised.
What truly shook it was that Lu Yuan's strength seemed to have grown again.
"When he broke through the hundred-thousand-li mark just now, his bloodline must have undergone an astonishing change."
"If he fought me again now," Qiongqi said slowly, "I'm afraid even my Great Luo Dharma Form might not be able to withstand a head-on charge from him."
After those words.
The Ferocious Beast giants in the hall fell silent at once.
Qiongqi was a Daluo Golden Immortal.
Even it had admitted of its own accord that Lu Yuan's body had grown this powerful.
Just how terrifying was this Grand Void Sky Whale's potential?
In the Myriad Sha Abyss.
Shen Ni finally steadied himself again.
He glanced at the blood-colored barrier before him, now covered in fine cracks, and his eyes grew somewhat serious.
"It seems this emperor did underestimate you."
As his words fell.
Shen Ni stopped maintaining the barrier.
He slowly raised both hands.
The blood-colored beast mark between his brows suddenly blazed!
Boom!
Boundless Fierce Sha Qi gathered from every direction.
An incomparably enormous Dharma Form slowly appeared behind Shen Ni!
The Dharma Form stood tens of thousands of li tall, clad in dark-red scales, with two fearsome horns on its head and arms as thick as divine pillars holding up the heavens. Blood Principle chains coiled behind it.
The moment it appeared.
The entire Myriad Sha Abyss began to tremble violently.
A terrifying presence far surpassing that of Qiongqi's Great Luo Dharma Form instantly enveloped heaven and earth!
"Beast Emperor Dharma Form!"
The distant Ferocious Beast King cried out in shock.
The horror on its face had turned to fervent zeal, and its whole body trembled uncontrollably.
"His Majesty has even unleashed the Beast Emperor Dharma Form!"
The Ferocious Beasts beside it all prostrated themselves.
Deep roars rang out one after another.
"Greetings, Beast Emperor!"
"His Majesty's divine might is unparalleled!"
"This is the true emperor of our Ferocious Beast Clan!"
Shen Ni paid no attention to their cries.
With a thought.
The Beast Emperor Dharma Form, tens of thousands of li tall, slowly raised both arms.
Between its two giant claws, surging Fierce Sha Principles rapidly gathered, producing a suffocating pressure.
Lu Yuan looked up at it.
A Dharma Form this enormous was indeed astonishing in the Primordial World.
But against a Grand Void Sky Whale now more than a hundred thousand li long, it still had no clear advantage in size.
Moreover.
A Dharma Form was ultimately formed from Law Power and Principles.
The things Lu Yuan liked best just happened to be those containing vast amounts of energy.
As he felt the terrifying presence radiating from the Beast Emperor Dharma Form, his eyes instead grew brighter and brighter.
"You're finally willing to show what you can really do."
Lu Yuan spoke in a low voice.
Hearing this, Shen Ni's lips curled up slightly.
"Since you like swallowing so much, let this emperor give you a taste of my Beast Emperor Dharma Form!"
As his words fell.
Shen Ni's Dharma Form abruptly raised a hand.
Boom!
A blood-colored giant claw thousands of li across came crashing down from on high toward Lu Yuan's head!
Lu Yuan did not dodge.
He simply opened his mouth.
A terrifying devouring force erupted to meet it!
This time, however, Shen Ni was clearly prepared.
The Principles around the blood-colored giant claw rapidly contracted, tightly binding the Fierce Sha energy within.
Lu Yuan swallowed a vast quantity of Sha Qi from its outermost layer in one gulp, but the giant claw, formed from Principles, continued to descend with terrifying force.
Boom!
The enormous blood-colored claw slammed into Lu Yuan's head.
Fine cracks spread once again across his freshly healed scales.
The impact knocked Lu Yuan's head slightly to one side.
But just as Shen Ni prepared to press his attack.
Lu Yuan suddenly opened his massive jaws.
He bit down on the blood-colored claw!
Crack!
A grating crunch rang out.
Lu Yuan had bitten a huge chunk straight out of the Beast Emperor Dharma Form's right claw!
Shen Ni's expression changed abruptly.
He could clearly sense it.
The power concentrated in the Dharma Form's right claw was being steadily drawn away by Lu Yuan.
"Good grief!"
Shen Ni gave a low shout.
He immediately invoked his Principle, preparing to pull the giant claw back.
But how could Lu Yuan let go so easily?
With that bite just now.
He had swallowed a vast amount of highly concentrated baleful Sha energy.
Although the Principle within it was extremely resilient and could not be completely digested in one go, Lu Yuan could gradually weaken it by continuing to bite and devour it.
In that case.
Naturally, he had to take a few more bites.
Lu Yuan's jaws clamped down with sudden force.
Crack!
The Beast Emperor Dharma Form's right claw shattered again!
A great expanse of Blood Principle light exploded.
Lu Yuan swallowed most of its power on the spot.
The ferocious beasts in the distance stared dumbfounded.
"He... he ate it?"
A Golden Immortal ferocious beast stared wide-eyed, its voice trembling.
"That's his majesty the Beast Emperor's Dharma Form!"
The Taiyi ferocious beast king beside it was even more shocked.
"He can even bite his majesty's Dharma Form to pieces?!"
"Just what are that Grand Void Sky Whale's teeth made of?!"
The ferocious beasts' hearts pounded.
None of them had expected it.
The terrifying Beast Emperor Dharma Form had barely appeared before Lu Yuan bit a piece off it.
Even more outrageous.
He had actually swallowed the shattered piece of the Dharma Form!
And now, Shen Ni finally felt a trace of real difficulty.
Lu Yuan's body was simply too enormous.
His defenses were formidable.
His regenerative ability was astonishing.
And on top of that, he could devour all kinds of energy.
Ordinary Divine Abilities had little effect on him.
Even when the Dharma Form was shattered, the power that escaped from it became nourishment for Lu Yuan.
Thus, the more Shen Ni relied on large-scale energy attacks, the easier it was for the giant beast to take advantage.
A fierce light flashed in Shen Ni's eyes.
"Since you like biting so much, I'll show you the true power of a Principle!"
The Beast Emperor Dharma Form abruptly raised its other giant claw.
This time.
Shen Ni compressed all his power into the tips of the claw and struck viciously at the spot on Lu Yuan's neck that had been injured earlier!
Boom!
Sensing danger, Lu Yuan immediately released the Dharma Form's shattered right claw.
His enormous body turned swiftly.
But Shen Ni's attack was too fast.
The giant claw still struck his scales with crushing force.
Rip!
A great swath of dark-gold scales was torn open.
Golden-red blood spilled into the Sha Sea once more.
Lu Yuan growled in pain.
But this time, he finally seized the chance when Shen Ni's Dharma Form came close to him.
The enormous tail fin that had remained hidden behind him suddenly swept across!
Boom—!
His body, over a hundred thousand li long, unleashed its strength!
The surrounding Sha Sea was heaved apart, opening a vast trench whose bottom could not be seen.
The Beast Emperor Dharma Form had just completed its attack and had no time to withdraw before the sky-blotting giant tail struck it with tremendous force!
Bang!
The terrifying impact resounded throughout the Myriad Sha Abyss!
Shen Ni's Dharma Form, tens of thousands of li tall, was sent reeling sideways by the blow!
A great expanse of blood-colored scales burst apart.
The countless beast markings that had gathered over the Dharma Form's surface also shuddered violently under the blow.
Shen Ni himself was forced back several thousand li before he could steady himself again.
"What tremendous strength!"
He finally could not help exclaiming.
The power of that tail strike was far greater than what Lu Yuan had displayed when fighting Qiongqi!
In particular, after completing his life transformation, the vast Qi and Blood within Lu Yuan had undergone a qualitative change.
Whenever he truly exerted himself, the strength of his entire body erupted at once.
Although Shen Ni's cultivation was higher and both his body and Principle were more refined, he found it difficult to gain an absolute advantage in such a clash of pure strength.
Lu Yuan was not faring well either.
After taking Shen Ni's attacks head-on in succession, he had several wounds on his body.
Although the energy he had swallowed was constantly being converted within him, Shen Ni's attacks were simply too powerful, and for the moment his recovery could not keep pace with his injuries.
For a time, the two sides had reached something of a stalemate.
Shen Ni could wound Lu Yuan.
But Lu Yuan could also rely on his physical strength to drive Shen Ni's Dharma Form back time and again.
Moreover, as the battle continued, the high-quality energy Lu Yuan had swallowed was steadily strengthening his flesh and blood.
The strange development made Shen Ni's expression grow increasingly grave.
In the Beast Emperor Palace.
Qiongqi had fallen completely silent as it watched the scene in the water mirror.
It had thought it already understood Lu Yuan's strength well enough.
But now it seemed it had still underestimated the Grand Void Sky Whale.
An innate divine beast that had only just entered its growth stage could actually fight Beast Emperor Shen Ni to such an extent!
Beside it, the black-armored giant's expression changed repeatedly.
It stared fixedly at Lu Yuan, and only after a long while did it manage to speak.
"His majesty has already used the Beast Emperor Dharma Form..."
"And this fellow can still fight back?"
The white-bone giant drew a deep breath.
"If he's allowed to keep growing, how many living beings in the entire Primordial World will be able to withstand a body like that in the future?"
No one could answer.
Inside the Myriad Sha Abyss.
Another clash erupted!
Shen Ni's Dharma Form struck with both claws, Blood Principles crisscrossing to seal off tens of thousands of li of space in front of Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan abruptly turned his body, bringing his enormous fin crashing down ahead of him!
Rumble—!
Their attacks collided head-on!
Violent power spread wildly downward.
The rock walls deep within the Myriad Sha Abyss, already destabilized by the devouring of vast quantities of baleful Sha, finally gave way.
Crack!
An exceedingly distinct cracking sound came from the very bottom of the abyss.
Shen Ni abruptly froze.
The movement he had been preparing to make for another attack suddenly stopped.
Because he sensed it.
In the deepest reaches of the Myriad Sha Abyss.
A crack had appeared in the core region that had long been sealed by ancient restrictions.
Lu Yuan stopped as well.
An older, denser presence was slowly rising through the crack.
The moment that presence appeared.
Nearly all the flesh and blood in Lu Yuan's body felt an intensely powerful craving at once.
He slowly lowered his head.
His golden eyes looked into the depths of the darkness.
The cracking sound rang out again.
Crack—!
