Chapter 392 - 285: Suppressing the World

Hurricane, heavenly lightning, and earthly fire!

To be afflicted by the Three Calamities was, without a doubt, one of the most powerful attacks in this world. Yet, Zhao Xuanqi endured the raging calamities and continued to walk forward.

Clad in True Essence, he was Vajra Indestructible.

Seeing this, the pupils of the Three Calamities Bird contracted violently.

Although his power had not yet returned to its peak, he had recovered at least eighty percent of his full strength.

In the Ancient Times, Holy Seeds ran rampant. The number of top-tier Holy Seeds was not small, and at their peak, their strength could rival that of a newly ascended Divine General.

For the Ancient Eight Fiends to stand out among so many Holy Seeds and become hegemonic beings that suppressed all eight directions, their peak strength had reached the very apex of the initial Divine General realm. Even at just eighty percent of that power, he was still no match for an ordinary Divine General. He was still a being who stood at the pinnacle of the world.

In his long life, the Three Calamities Bird had seen many human Divine Generals and fought against numerous masters of the Divine General rank from the Ancient Times. He had even devoured a Divine General once. But he had never seen anyone like Zhao Xuanqi—someone who could remain completely unharmed by his attacks, even strolling casually as if it were nothing.

No, there was one.

The Holy Beast Divine General, Li Zhenyuan!

He who had broken through the initial Divine General realm and reached a higher level of power.

And that represented the pinnacle of this world!

’Impossible!’

’To survive being afflicted with the Unquenchable Fire and then forcing an infusion of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi shortly after his breakthrough is already a miracle. To think he could reach a realm in just two short years that takes others ten, even dozens of years, is another thing entirely.’

’The world today is not the world of the Ancient Times!’

"You’re just putting on a brave face! Let’s see you show your true colors!"

The Three Calamities Bird let out a low shout, shook his arms, and his figure blurred. He shot out from the eye of the storm and into the hurricane.

Neither the hurricane, the heavenly lightning, nor the earthly fire caused him any harm. In fact, they became his strength.

The hurricane quickened his movements. The infusion of heavenly lightning greatly enhanced his physical reactions and neural recruitment. The conflagration of earthly fire activated his body, dramatically increasing the speed at which his Primordial Qi circulated.

Natural disasters were his domain.

He swung his arms, which seemed to transform into those of a terrifying giant bird. His palms took the shape of a beak as he lunged at Zhao Xuanqi.

The storm churned, flames spewed, and lightning flashed like chains.

The Form of a monstrous giant bird materialized from thin air, dozens of meters in size, emitting a deafening vibration as it swooped down to devour Zhao Xuanqi.

The Three Calamities fused, a manifestation of Primordial Qi.

Matt considered his Secret Transmission to be the Strongest Spear, but its sharpness was like mud compared to clouds when measured against the technique the Three Calamities Bird now unleashed.

’Now this is a little more interesting.’

A slight smile touched the corner of Zhao Xuanqi’s lips.

This technique of his opponent’s interwove his Force and Primordial Qi, rearranging them to elevate its destructive power by a whole new level. In terms of attack power alone, it had indeed reached the apex of the initial Divine General realm.

However...

It was still far from enough!

There was no terrifying aura, no dazzling technique. Primordial Qi simply condensed into a thin layer of Qilin Armor that covered his entire body, making him look like a Celestial General descended from the heavens.

Zhao Xuanqi moved. The Primordial Qi in every cell of his body was mobilized, and the scales of the Qilin Armor all over him opened and closed in a wondrous, divine display.

At this moment, Zhao Xuanqi’s body seemed minuscule compared to the monstrous bird manifested by the Three Calamities Bird, which was dozens of meters in size. The contrast was stark, yet he showed no fear, striking out with his palm to meet the beak lunging at him head-on.

Impact. Eruption!

BOOM!!

The minuscule body erupted with unimaginable power. The Three Calamities Bird’s giant beak, which looked as if it could pierce through anything, not only failed to penetrate the thin layer of scales on Zhao Xuanqi’s body, but on the contrary, under the terrifying force, its Primordial Qi collapsed and it snapped in two!

The human body’s Primordial Qi is generated based on the physical body. The reason True Essence can produce its indestructible quality is, in the final analysis, due to the fundamental strength of the flesh—not just its defense, but all physical attributes!

The Hundred Beasts Fist seeks to forge a body perfectly suited for combat, combining the advantages of a hundred beasts to leap the Dragon Gate, transforming a man into a Saint.

The body has always been the foundation of the Hundred Beasts Fist. All abilities stem from the body’s strength.

Having endured the trial of the Unquenchable Fire, achieved the rank of Divine General, and condensed his True Essence, the strength of Zhao Xuanqi’s body had now surpassed the limits envisioned by the Hundred Beasts Fist.

Shattering the Three Calamities Bird’s attack with a single palm, Zhao Xuanqi did not stop, but continued to advance.

The scales of his armor opened and closed, his palms turning like lightning. Zhao Xuanqi truly looked like a Celestial General who had descended upon the world, his movements firm and filled with Overbearing Fury, grand and sweeping, suppressing all Evil Spirits and fiends.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!

In the blink of an eye, he struck three consecutive palms. The giant bird Form condensed by the Three Calamities Bird had its essential Primordial Qi forcefully scattered by Zhao Xuanqi. As the aftershocks of Force and Primordial Qi spread, the very air seemed to collapse with each palm strike, creating massive, ten-meter-wide indentations in space.

The sky-soaring hurricane, a fusion of wind, lightning, and fire, had its airflow disrupted by these three palms and abruptly exploded.

The air currents surged wildly. In the sky, the dark clouds were blown apart by the exploding hurricane, unable to hold their form any longer.

Meanwhile, the Three Calamities Bird was forced back again and again, the color draining completely from his face.

’If I still can’t see the depths of my opponent’s strength after clashing with him personally, then I’ve truly lived all these years for nothing.’

’For True Essence to be capable of this... it can only be True Essence Power!!’

’In just two short years, this man has already reached the realm of that Holy Beast Divine General from my past.’

The fear of being dominated by that person seemed to flood back into his mind at this very moment.
