Jun Yi gave Tang Chen a deep look, but he didn't speak. Instead, he attacked Tang Chen again. His figure instantly transformed into a streak of light, and the light sword in his hand slashed towards Tang Chen. Tang Chen smiled slightly, and his figure also instantly disappeared from the spot.
The next second, he appeared behind Jun Yi, and the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand slammed down, a powerful force instantly pressing down on Jun Yi. The lightsaber collided with Tang Chen's Clear Sky Hammer, and a powerful force instantly flowed from the sword to Jun Yi's wrist, making Jun Yi's arm go numb.
"Excellent! I never expected to be able to fight such a powerful young generation so soon after I awoke. Even if I perish here today, my life will not have been in vain!"
Tang Chen laughed heartily as he sparred with Jun Yi.
" Great Sumeru Hammer!"
As Tang Chen's voice fell, the surrounding air instantly tensed, as if an invisible force was constantly accumulating. Above the sky, a huge red phantom of the Clear Sky Hammer appeared.
It seemed as if its power would engulf the entire world.
A hint of seriousness flashed in Jun Yi's eyes. The power of the Great Sumeru Hammer released by Tang Chen far exceeded that of Tang Hao before.
The entire earth trembled, as if the sky itself was about to be torn apart by the enormous red phantom of the Clear Sky Hammer. Jun Yi's eyes flashed with a hint of solemnity. He gave Tang Chen a deep look, and the lightsaber in his hand instantly transformed into countless rays of light, slashing towards the enormous red phantom of the Clear Sky Hammer.
However, all of this seemed to be in vain. Under Tang Chen's all-out attack, the countless rays of light were instantly shattered, and the illusory image of the Clear Sky Hammer crashed down on Jun Yi like a storm.
Jun Yi's eyes instantly deepened, and his entire body radiated golden light as he allowed the enormous red phantom of the Clear Sky Hammer to strike the spot where he had been standing, producing a deafening roar. A huge crater appeared in the ground, and everything around him was instantly pulverized by the blow.
A faint smile appeared on Tang Chen's face, and he coughed up another mouthful of blood. His body could no longer support him to continue fighting, and he could only use the Clear Sky Hammer to support himself so as not to fall.
Just then, countless golden rays of light began to converge in the deep pit. Tang Chen's expression instantly turned serious. He clearly saw Jun Yi's figure slowly appear within the golden light.
Tang Chen's pupils contracted instantly. He never expected that Jun Yi would be able to remain unharmed under his Great Sumeru Hammer.
"It seems my Elementalization grants immunity to attacks imbued with Divine Power," Jun Yi said calmly. "This... how is this possible?"
Tang Chen's eyes were filled with astonishment and disbelief. He never expected that his Great Sumeru Hammer would be unable to harm Jun Yi. He watched Jun Yi's figure slowly emerge from the deep pit, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind as he considered his next move.
However, Jun Yi didn't give him much time to think. He slowly walked towards Tang Chen, and his lightsaber slashed out again. This time, his attack was more powerful than ever before, as if this sword strike would completely cut Tang Chen down.
Tang Chen's eyes instantly hardened. He took a deep breath and, with great difficulty, raised the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand and brought it down again.
The sword and hammer clashed with a deafening roar. Tang Chen was instantly knocked back several steps, coughing up blood again. Jun Yi only paused briefly before attacking Tang Chen once more.
This time, Jun Yi's attacks became even more ferocious, each sword strike seemingly aimed at cleaving Tang Chen in two. Although Tang Chen tried his best to defend, he was still struck on the shoulder by a sword, instantly losing his balance and falling to the ground. Jun Yi did not stop; he stepped forward, raising his lightsaber high once more.
A crimson light illuminated the entire Slaughter City. However, at this crucial moment, Tang Chen suddenly let out a loud shout, and nine spirit rings—eight black and one red—appeared. Immediately afterward, the first black Soul Ring exploded, and his body instantly transformed into a beam of light, disappearing from the spot.
The next second, he appeared behind Jun Yi, his Clear Sky Hammer slamming down, a powerful force instantly pressing down on Jun Yi. This attack made Jun Yi feel unprecedented pressure. He wanted to turn around to defend, but it was too late. He could only hold his lightsaber horizontally in front of him, trying his best to block. The Clear Sky Hammer and the lightsaber collided, producing a deafening roar. Jun Yi's body was instantly knocked back several steps, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
" Ring Detonation? Senior Tang Chen, how many Soul Ring can your body withstand?"
Jun Yi quietly watched Tang Chen cough up blood, a cold smile curving his lips.
"Then let's continue. I have already passed the Asura's Eight Trials, and my body has been upgraded to Demigod's body. I can still withstand the side effects of the Ring Detonation."
As he spoke, Tang Chen's fingers rapidly formed hand seals, his eyes instantly turning crimson, and streaks of blood appearing on his forehead. A layer of dark gray armor quickly covered his body, completely enveloping him.
Immediately afterwards, three more black Soul Ring shot out from his feet and exploded, and Tang Chen's aura also surged wildly.
Jun Yi squinted, watching Tang Chen's strength steadily increase, a serious look flashing in his eyes. He knew he had to take this seriously now, or he might suffer an unexpected setback.
Tang Chen raised his head, looked at Jun Yi not far away, and said with a faint smile, "Little guy, I haven't used the Ring Detonation technique in a long time. I hope you can give me a surprise."
" The Clear Sky Nine Absolutes!" Tang Chen roared, and the Clear Sky Hammer swung instantly, spinning rapidly as it crushed towards Jun Yi.
Jun Yi frowned deeply. This time, Tang Chen's aura was far more terrifying than before. Without hesitation, he brandished his longsword, countless red sword lights slicing through the void to meet the whistling Clear Sky Hammer.
"Clang!"
Sparks flew everywhere, and the shockwaves from the violent collision swept in all directions in an instant. The earth cracked instantly, and huge fissures spread in all directions. Even the sky turned dark red.
Tang Chen and Jun Yi both retreated. Tang Chen took seven steps back before regaining his balance, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes flashed with a crazed look.
"Hahaha! That's great! That's great! Explode, explode, explode!"
Tang Chen's loud laughter echoed in all directions. The remaining four black Soul Ring on his body exploded completely. At this moment, his body was expanding continuously. In the blink of an eye, his size had more than doubled. Only one red Soul Ring remained around Tang Chen's body.
