Chapter 655 - 655: The Joy of the Harvest

"This… Fine."

"Kid, since you won't listen, I'll teach you the rules of the Inner Sect today and make you understand that some people can't be defied!"

After speaking, Li Da suddenly formed his five fingers into a claw and lunged forward.

The moment he extended his hand, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Power in the air above gathered rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it condensed into a giant hand of Primordial Power nearly a hundred meters tall.

Although this Li Da had debased himself to become Wu Jiancheng's lackey, he still possessed the strength and basic combat experience required to cultivate to the Martial King Realm and become an Inner Sect Disciple of the Saint Extreme Sect.

Li Da knew Chu Qingyun had just broken through to the Martial King Realm, so his control over the Heaven and Earth Primordial Power was surely not yet very proficient.

Therefore, directly mobilizing the Heaven and Earth Primordial Power to suppress him with brute force was the best and most direct way to defeat him.

The giant hand of Primordial Power spread its five fingers, blotting out the sky as it swooped down to grab Chu Qingyun.

Wu Jiancheng sneered at Chu Qingyun, waiting for him to be suppressed in a single move. Then, he would humiliate him thoroughly and seize his Earth Seal Sword Fragment.

As for the consequences, he didn't care in the slightest.

He just saw Chu Qingyun as an ordinary Core Disciple who had recently entered the Inner Sect. With his background and connections, he had no reason to fear someone like that.

Meanwhile, Deng Xuan's beautiful eyes were also fixed on Chu Qingyun, curious to see how he would respond.

He had mastered a true Thunder Sword Intent while still in the Martial Spirit Realm, and she wanted to witness it for herself.

As the giant Primordial Power hand closed in, Chu Qingyun's first instinct was to circulate the Primordial Power within his meridians to resist.

However, the moment that thought occurred, Chu Qingyun was stunned to discover that all the surrounding Heaven and Earth Primordial Power was surging madly toward him, gathering around him as its center.

In the blink of an eye, an amount of Primordial Power even larger than the giant hand had amassed above him!

Instantly, everyone in the vicinity was utterly dumbfounded.

Even Li Da's giant Primordial Power hand paused for a moment.

They simply couldn't imagine that someone who had just broken through to the Martial King Realm a few days ago could mobilize the Heaven and Earth Primordial Power at such a speed!

Moreover, the sheer scale of that Heaven and Earth Primordial Power was something that not even a Tier Two or perhaps even a Tier Three Martial King could achieve!

At that moment, even Chu Qingyun himself was startled.

Since breaking through to the Martial King Realm, he'd had many things to do, from cultivating new Secret Techniques to new Sword Techniques. As a result, he hadn't deliberately practiced mobilizing the Heaven and Earth Primordial Power.

He never expected his first attempt would be so astonishing.

'This is... the Primordial Pill! My Primordial Pill!'

'My Primordial Pill... compared to a Martial King of the same level with a Tier Four Martial Soul, mine is probably hundreds, maybe even a thousand times larger. The power contained within my Martial King Essence Pill must also far exceed that of an ordinary Martial King of the same level!'

In an instant, Chu Qingyun figured out the reason for all this.

At that moment, he couldn't help but feel a sense of happiness, like all his hard work was finally paying off.

Throughout the Martial Master Realm and the Martial Spirit Realm, Chu Qingyun had painstakingly accumulated a massive amount of Primordial Liquid. Now, it was finally yielding a return.

With the advantage of this Primordial Pill alone, Chu Qingyun could probably fight an ordinary Tier Two, or even a Tier Three Martial King!

Furthermore, this advantage would only continue to grow as his Realm increased.

This was the so-called foundation of the Martial Dao. Only with a solid and stable foundation could one walk further and faster on the path of the Martial Dao!

"A giant hand of Primordial Power... Hmph. Break for me!"

Chu Qingyun let out a soft cry and pointed a finger. The massive amount of Primordial Power above him roiled and instantly condensed into a giant fist of Primordial Power, over two hundred meters in diameter, which smashed down toward Li Da's giant hand.

Before the giant fist, the nearly hundred-meter-tall hand of Primordial Power was like a baby's hand—utterly fragile.

BOOM! The giant Primordial Power hand was instantly crushed to dust.

But the giant fist of Primordial Power was completely unaffected. With unparalleled momentum, it smashed downward, striking Li Da. He was instantly sent flying backward, severely injured and vomiting blood, tumbling all the way to the base of the Saint Extreme Tower.

"He sent a Tier One Martial King flying with one punch just by using Heaven and Earth Primordial Power... T-that's too ferocious..."

"Is that really a Tier One Martial King who just broke through two days ago? Even a Tier Two Martial King couldn't mobilize such formidable Heaven and Earth Primordial Power!"

"As expected of the publicly acknowledged number one Core Disciple of the Outer Sect. He could defeat a Martial King Realm expert as a ninth-level Martial Spirit. The world of geniuses is truly beyond our comprehension..."

The surrounding disciples couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Their gazes toward Chu Qingyun were filled with awe and worship. In the world of Martial Artists, the strong are respected, and Chu Qingyun was clearly a future powerhouse!

As for Deng Xuan, her beautiful eyes were also filled with shock and bewilderment.

Clearly, she too was astonished by Chu Qingyun's strength.

She had originally been prepared to intervene and help Chu Qingyun if he couldn't handle it. Unexpectedly, her assistance was now completely unnecessary.

"Useless trash! Bao Yongnian, you go! Teach him a good lesson for me!"

After snapping out of his daze, Wu Jiancheng became furious and turned to his other subordinate.

That man was a Tier Two Martial King.

"Young Master, this has already gotten a bit out of hand. We're right outside the Saint Extreme Tower..."

Bao Yongnian glanced worriedly in the direction of the Saint Extreme Tower as he spoke to Wu Jiancheng.

The Saint Extreme Tower, the Secret Technique Hall, the Secret Manual Hall—important sect locations like these were always guarded by on-duty Inner Sect Elders. No one dared to cause trouble in such places.

"Shut up and get over there!"

"If anything happens, I'll take the fall! What are you afraid of!?"

Wu Jiancheng barked coldly.

Helpless, Bao Yongnian could only turn and fix his gaze on Chu Qingyun.

"Kid, don't think you're so great just because you beat Li Da. Today, I'll let you witness the power of a Tier Two Martial King!"

Bao Yongnian shouted coldly as the terrifying aura of a Tier Two Martial King slowly radiated from his body.

"The power of a Tier Two Martial King? I would actually like to see it for myself..."

As Chu Qingyun spoke, with a mere thought, a vast amount of Heaven and Earth Primordial Power once again gathered above him. As the Primordial Power churned, it emitted waves of a terrifying aura.

This aura was in no way weaker than that of Bao Yongnian, the Tier Two Martial King!

Bao Yongnian's eyelid twitched, and he felt a sense of dread welling up inside.

Although his words were tough, he actually had no confidence. Putting everything else aside, just the speed and sheer amount of Heaven and Earth Primordial Power Chu Qingyun could mobilize was not something he could easily handle.

Besides, Chu Qingyun still hadn't even used that rumored Sword Intent of his!

However, at this point, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and press on.

"Vajra Saber!"

"Golden Blade Slash!"

Bao Yongnian roared, instantly unleashing his Martial Soul and a Soul Technique.

A white, saber-shaped Martial Soul flashed before him. Then, he leaped into the air, and a two-hundred-meter-long, platinum-gold blade of light instantly appeared in his hands. He slashed down at Chu Qingyun from mid-air.
