"Now, use your life to celebrate my... rebirth!"
Chen Wei's frantic declaration still echoed in the underground space, but he himself had vanished from the spot.
There was no sonic boom, and no airflow.
It was as if he had become part of this Flesh and Blood Furnace, disregarding the rules of space.
Su Yu's pupils suddenly contracted, and the [ Blood Baleful Pagoda Manifestation ] behind him, which was tens of feet tall, trembled violently, and the chaotic suppressive power instantly covered a hundred feet around him.
However, it was too late.
A white figure appeared before him without warning, almost touching him.
It was that face, as handsome as a god, now filled with madness.
Chen Wei raised his fist.
It was an ordinary punch, without any fancy moves or even a surge of blood-red light.
But the moment that punch was thrown, the entire Flesh and Blood Furnace seemed to be paused.
The surging blood mist solidified, the muffled heartbeats disappeared, and all the energy, all the rules, were paying homage to that pale fist.
The Heaven Realm Second Level has taken shape, and the initial form of the domain has been established.
boom!!!
A thick, unyielding mass of blood-red light exploded from Chen Wei's fist, condensing into a tangible blood-red fist imprint that slammed solidly into the Pagoda Manifestation in front of Su Yu.
Click--!
The Blood Baleful Pagoda Manifestation, which had fused the power of Buddha and demon and was capable of devouring attacks from the Heaven Realm First Level, actually let out a mournful cry of unbearable strain under this punch!
Cracks spread wildly across the tower like a spider web!
Immediately afterwards, the terrifying power contained in the fist imprint pierced through the barrier of the Pagoda Manifestation and slammed heavily into Su Yu's chest.
"Puff!"
Su Yu felt as if he had been struck head-on by a star that had crashed into him from outer space, and his internal organs seemed to shift instantly.
The golden-red light emanating from the Blood Baleful Intent Wisdom King Body flashed wildly, yet it still couldn't completely counteract that domineering and unparalleled force.
His body, like a meteorite slammed into the ground, plummeted uncontrollably downwards.
Rumble!
He smashed a bottomless crater into the viscous, fleshy earth.
Smoke and blood billowed into the sky as Su Yu's figure was blasted a hundred feet into the ground by this punch!
One punch shatters the Dharma form and injures the true body!
This is the Heaven Realm Second Level!
"Oh."
In mid-air, Chen Wei slowly withdrew his fist, looked down at the deep crater, and had a sickly satisfaction on his face.
Its power is unprecedented.
Without pausing for a moment, he flashed and transformed into a streak of crimson light, plunging straight into the ground, determined to crush this ant who dared to defy the "gods" into dust.
Deep underground, it was pitch black.
Buried in the strata of flesh and blood, Su Yu coughed up a mouthful of blood mixed with dark gold and scarlet.
[This guy's on drugs too high.]
A cold thought flashed through his mind, but he felt no panic whatsoever.
Almost at the same moment Chen Wei caught up, a deep, earthy-yellow light flashed in Su Yu's eyes.
The Yellow Springs Earth Vein Art, in operation!
boom!
The ground beneath his feet was no longer an obstacle, but a source of his strength.
He forcibly extracted the power of the mountains and rivers within a thousand miles in a ruthless manner, transforming it into surging Yellow Springs Prison Qi, which frantically poured into his limbs and bones.
His blood and qi, which had been churning from the heavy blow, calmed down instantly.
His injuries healed at an astonishing speed, nourished by both the Blood Baleful Intent Wisdom King Body and the power of the earth's veins.
Sensing the rapidly approaching crimson light overhead, Su Yu advanced instead of retreating, stomping his right foot on the ground and soaring into the sky like a cannonball to meet Chen Wei!
He held one palm upwards, and within his palm, it seemed as if a dark golden abyss capable of devouring all things was slowly opening.
The ultimate killing move at the Earth Realm Qi Refinement— [ Palm Abyss: World-Burying Mountains and Rivers ]!
"You still dare to resist?"
A hint of mockery flashed in Chen Wei's eyes, and he also threw a punch.
The crimson fist shadow collided violently with the all-consuming dark golden abyss underground!
There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a deathly silence of annihilation.
At the point where the two forces meet, space itself becomes distorted and wrinkled.
Using the force of that violent impact, Su Yu made a strange turn in mid-air, not engaging Chen Wei in a prolonged fight, but instead shooting off in another direction like an arrow released from a bow!
Um?
Chen Wei was taken aback, then realized what was happening.
This kid never intended to fight me head-on from the start!
He looked in the direction Su Yu flew, his gaze landing on the core area of that underground space.
There, on top of the withered giant heart, more than a dozen blood-red spheres, each about ten feet in diameter, had appeared at some unknown time.
Each blood cell is like a beating, ominous heart, its surface shimmering with crimson light, while inside, familiar figures are imprisoned.
It was none other than Abbot Yuanxin of Xuankong Temple, Li Ping, the former patriarch of the Azure Sword Manor, Liu Yi, the commander of the Demon Suppression Bureau... all the Earth Realm experts who had been defeated by Chen Wei before, without exception!
Their collarbones were pierced by blood-red chains, and they were suspended in the center of a blood sphere, their eyes tightly closed, their faces filled with extreme pain, as if they were enduring a slow, agonizing torture on a spiritual level.
Su Yu's target is them!
"You want to save people?"
Chen Wei appeared in front of Su Yu in an instant, blocking his way. His gentle smile reappeared on his face, but this smile was full of cruelty and mockery, like a cat toying with a mouse.
"It's too late."
He extended a finger, pointing it towards the blood spheres, and said leisurely in an almost boastful tone:
" Su Yu, do you think this is just an ordinary prison cell?"
"Wrong."
"This is the ' Soul-Refining Blood Prison,' forged using my Immaculate Blood God Body as its foundation and the resentment of all living beings in Qing Province as its fire... a millstone!"
Chen Wei's voice carried a chilling fervor.
"What's needed to awaken that slumbering master isn't their frail lives, nor their pitiful cultivation levels..."
His gaze swept over the Yuanxin, over Li Ping, as if he were admiring his most perfect masterpiece.
"It's their indomitable 'will' as peak martial arts masters!"
"This blood sphere is the millstone that grinds down their will!"
When their sword-wielding spirit, Buddhist spirit, and martial spirit are thoroughly refined into the purest 'soul essence,' that will be the day that great one... descends!
As soon as the words were spoken, one of the blood Abbot Yuanxin suddenly trembled violently.
Within the blood sphere, for the first time, cracks appeared on the solemn face of the abbot at the Abbot Yuanxin, and black demonic runes were faintly visible on his smooth forehead.
His Buddhist faith is on the verge of collapse!
Seeing Su Yu's face turn incredibly ugly in an instant, Chen Wei's smile deepened, and he slowly extended two fingers.
"Look, that old monk in the Yuanxin won't last much longer."
"I can tell you with great compassion that from the moment a crack appears in the Buddha's heart until it is completely shattered, it will take approximately... ten more breaths."
Chen... Wei...
Su Yu stared intently at the smiling face, uttering two words through gritted teeth, his murderous aura almost tangible.
Chen Wei seemed not to see it, and simply began counting down on his own. His voice was not loud, but it clearly echoed throughout the underground space, like the death knell of the Grim Reaper.
"Ten."
"Nine."
