Everyone was somewhat shocked. Charles had opened with such a terrifying skill—if he really killed Christine, the Di Man Race probably would not let him leave so easily.
Seeing the Golden Divine Radiance shine toward him, Christine neither dodged nor evaded. He raised his palm like a blade and slashed at the Golden Divine Radiance.
The next second, everyone felt as though they were seeing glass crack before their eyes.
No, it did not merely seem that way. It had truly cracked.
The Golden Divine Radiance and the sphinx split apart together, cleaving in two down the middle and shifting to either side.
"Pfft!" Blood sprayed from Charles's mouth. His life base had been destroyed, and the backlash injured his body as well.
Everyone had long known that Christine was strong, but they had never imagined he would be strong to such an extent.
He had only just attained a Nirvana body. Without even using his life base, a single strike had destroyed Charles's life base. It was simply too domineering, too overwhelming.
"Christine... truly not bad..." There was surprise in Long Yue's eyes as well.
"Everything about him is good, except his temperament is terrible." Catherine shook her head with a bitter smile. Christine's temper had already improved considerably. If this had been the Christine of old, Charles would likely have lost his life already.
"Christine... you ruthless bastard..." Charles tossed out a harsh remark and left in disgrace.
Before encountering Christine, he had always believed himself to be powerful, and everyone else had thought so too. Yet he could not even withstand one strike from Christine. Shame and fury churned within him. In that instant just now, his face had nearly drained of all color—he had thought he would be cleaved in half along with his life base.
