Battle of the Extreme Heavens Chapter: Shi Tan's Strength

Battle of the Extreme Heavens Chapter—Shi Tan's Strength

It all began with Shi Tan suddenly letting out an angry roar. The power of his bloodline ignited throughout his body, and that bloodline power was inherently an incomparably perfect match for his Dao of Battle Intent.

The God Tank Race could be said to be a race born for battle. Even though Shi Tan had been reincarnated, the memories carried by his soul still granted him a portion of the God Tank Race's bloodline power.

With that surge, it was as if a layer of shackles restraining the bloodline power within his body had been broken open.

An ancient and majestic bloodline power radiated from Shi Tan's body. Under that immense strength, although his soul was still suffering intense pain, he struggled and sent the heavy sword in his hand crashing toward the Triangle Palace. The vast Intent of the Heavy Sword blasted it away.

At the same time, Shi Tan suddenly exerted force with both hands. Taking advantage of the pain being dispersed, he roared and unleashed an incomparably terrifying force through his arms, breaking free from Luo Feng directly.

At the same time, he did not forget to throw a punch at Luo Feng's face.

Luo Feng was horrified.

This guy seemed to have awakened some sort of power. His strength had risen far too much in an instant. Even the force he used to break free just now was greater than Luo Feng's.

A fist came at him. Luo Feng reacted immediately and raised a hand to block it. The next instant, a violent impact slammed into his palm, and Luo Feng used the force to pull some distance away.

On Shi Tan's side, the Dao Seal was clearly still taking effect. However, without Luo Feng's endless power to wear him down, it seemed that some power within Shi Tan could contend with the Dao Seal, greatly easing his pain.

At this moment, he was also doing his utmost to widen the distance, trying to find a way to wear away the Dao Seal.

"That Luo Feng possesses Dao Soul Guiding and the Emperor Blade. It seems he should be one of the targets."

"However, I can't help you with this. Even if you helped awaken the Battle Intent Bloodline of my God Tank Race." The expression in Shi Tan's eyes shifted, and he visibly looked much better.

Still, the Dao Seal remained in effect.

After steadying himself, Luo Feng gave Shi Tan no opportunity at all and charged at him again.

To Luo Feng, the qualification for Purple Thunder Soul Refinement was immensely important. No matter what, he had to claim it, even if his opponent was Shi Tan.

When he saw Luo Feng charge over again, Shi Tan could only dodge as much as possible. Even though his bloodline had awakened, he could not afford to be too distracted, and his strength was still relatively limited.

But trying to evade Luo Feng was not very realistic.

Luo Feng's figure once again used a phantom body to arrive beside Shi Tan. At the same time, a thought flashed through his mind. "Explode!"

Suddenly, the Dao Seal within Shi Tan's soul erupted with even stronger power. This time, Luo Feng had actively detonated it, releasing its strength to the fullest in order to create another similar opportunity.

"Aah!!!"

Shi Tan could not help clutching his head and roaring in agony again. This time, the sudden release of power was too much for his Soul Power to withstand. The immense force tore directly through his soul, and the excruciating pain made him struggle even more violently.

This time, Luo Feng's slash came even faster. It swept past Shi Tan's two heads, then stabbed fiercely into an eye again. In that instant, endless radiance from the blade intent erupted, dyeing both Shi Tan's body and Luo Feng's figure gold.

Since it was the same routine, the Triangle Palace appeared again. Luo Feng seized the chance to embrace Shi Tan once more, unleashing vast Soul Power. This time, endless blade intent surged around Shi Tan as well, actively sending him toward the Triangle Palace at a speed even more violent than before.

Though Luo Feng had him restrained, Shi Tan still struggled fiercely. The tearing pain in his soul made him wish he were dead, but his senses remained intact.

The moment he sensed extreme danger, he could no longer care about anything else. Faced with a madman like Luo Feng, he had no choice but to go mad as well. The bloodline power he had just awakened was abruptly ignited completely—

"Burning Battle Soul!"

At that moment, golden flames of battle intent instantly ignited across his body. His entire soul also burned with those flames. Under their influence, the pain in his soul lessened greatly, and he soon regained clarity. More of his focus was finally freed.

Luo Feng also sensed that Shi Tan's soul was turning into flames, and the power he suffered from the Dao Seal seemed to be weakening. His expression changed.

What he did not know was that the God Tank Race had been born for battle. Their true core bloodline power could ignite the soul and turn it into a Battle Soul. Emperor-level battle intent could bring out this guy's strength even more completely, while his soul possessed an extraordinarily terrifying ability akin to a phoenix's rebirth through nirvana.

However, achieving something comparable to a phoenix's nirvana was impossible in the Primordial Chaos Realm. Only Great God Heaven experts possessed such power.

Thus, Luo Feng's Dao Seal had merely been weakened, not ignored.

Yet once it was weakened, Shi Tan's power was released as well. This time, he broke free from Luo Feng's restraint again, summoned his heavy sword, and smashed it fiercely toward Luo Feng.

Luo Feng used the Blood Shadow Saber to block, but the violent force sent him flying away.

At this moment, Shi Tan was in the Battle Soul awakening state. His Emperor-level battle intent power had fully taken shape. Under its influence, Shi Tan's combat strength had risen across the board, including his Intent of the Heavy Sword.

The force behind that heavy sword strike had completely surpassed the power of Luo Feng's slash.

Luo Feng forcibly stabilized himself and stared fixedly at Shi Tan. Through his connection to the Dao Seal, Shi Tan's soul had clearly been wounded, yet in the Battle Soul state, it was slowly repairing itself. Moreover, that burning state had completely made up for the strength lost from his soul's severe injury, even making him stronger than before.

"Monster. I knew he wasn't simple, but I never expected him to be this strong. This Dao Seal of mine wasn't constructed from the strongest Dao Intent Power. Its power is still far too weak." Luo Feng's expression was incomparably grave.

If he had mastered the Emperor Blade, and the Emperor Blade Intent had fully fused with his soul, then the power his Dao Seal could unleash would be even greater. With that kind of Dao Seal power, Shi Tan would likely have been suppressed just now.

Unfortunately, he was not in his Demon Blade state, so there was nothing he could do.

Now, it seemed he could only force himself completely into a mad state.

With a wave of his hand, Luo Feng retrieved the remaining Dao Seal. There was little point in continuing to drain it. From here on, he could only force himself onward.

"Luo Feng, you and I both walk the Emperor Dao, but having come this far, our destinies are destined to be different. I will defeat you with my strongest strength, as a sign of my respect." Shi Tan looked at Luo Feng, his voice deep and booming.

At this moment, he was a true Battle Emperor.

In the Battle Soul state, his aura was too intense. Even Luo Feng's Emperor Blade could not compare to Shi Tan's presence.

The next instant, Shi Tan moved.

This time, he was the one taking the initiative to attack.

He moved incredibly fast, no slower than Luo Feng. Within his heavy sword and battle intent domain, every movement was as swift as teleportation. He had only just spoken one moment, and the next, his heavy sword came smashing down fiercely.

Its target was Luo Feng.

Luo Feng swung his saber upward to block with all his strength, but the violent force erupted and blasted him backward. His body staggered in a miserable state.

After taking that sword head-on, Luo Feng only felt tremendous force jolt the web between his thumb and forefinger. The fierce penetrating power slammed into his body, inflicting a certain degree of injury.

"So strong!" Luo Feng's expression darkened.

However, Shi Tan clearly had no intention of letting him go this time. If one strike did not achieve the desired result, then he would follow with a second, a third, and a fourth.

Shi Tan's initiative this time gave him an overwhelming advantage. His suppression of Luo Feng was far too obvious. Although Luo Feng's saber techniques were superb and flawless, before absolute overwhelming power, skill and technique were useless. No matter how perfect you were, one force could crush ten techniques. All that flashy nonsense was useless.

Boom!

Another heavy sword strike crashed down, sending Luo Feng flying. This time, he had no control over himself at all. He was being completely crushed. After this move, Luo Feng would likely have no power left to fight back.

As the battle continued, Shi Tan's battle intent power accumulated without cease, growing increasingly stronger. It was as if there were no upper limit to his strength.

This sight directly drove the spectators' emotions to a fever pitch.

Especially those on the God Heaven Realm viewing level.

This time, they had finally bet correctly. Shi Tan's strength had not disappointed them.

At the beginning, when Luo Feng suppressed Shi Tan twice, they thought the battle was about to end. At that time, their hearts had practically sunk. Yet they had never expected Shi Tan to awaken the core bloodline power of the God Tank Race at the critical moment, then ignite it once more and raise his combat strength to its current level.

This level of power was simply too strong. In their eyes, Luo Feng no longer had any chance at all.

"Shi Tan, kill him!"

"Shi Tan, don't give him any chance!"

One after another, the Big Guys at the God Heaven Realm level watched these two Primordial Chaos Realm fighters as though they had become completely absorbed in the battle, their emotions fully stirred.

Especially the few God Heaven Realm experts standing in the same area as Fire Emperor and Shaoqing Huang Ting. They were even more frenzied.

This time, they had finally vented their frustration properly!

Throughout the whole time, Fire Emperor and Shaoqing Huang Ting had been the ones making money. Being able to make them lose once felt incredibly satisfying.

"What's wrong, Fire Emperor? Why aren't you smiling anymore? Is the competition not entertaining? I think it's quite exciting. Why do you two look so worried? What's the matter?" A God Heaven Realm expert teased.

"Hmph, I already said I was giving you some money to take back. What are you so smug about? So what if I gave you five million? I've still made over ten million. Aren't you jealous?" Fire Emperor glared as he spoke.

These guys had only bet on this one match. What was there to be so smug about?

If he had not been considering Luo Feng's dignity, he would not have bothered with any spiritual victory nonsense. Looking at it now, giving them five million was fine. Otherwise, having too much money might bring trouble upon himself.

"He's getting anxious. Hahaha." Kabailong laughed.

"Fire Emperor, don't bother with them. They've lost too much, so just let them win once." Shaoqing Huang Ting shook his head.
