Chapter 574: Overpowering
Whoosh!
The aura from the two sides clashed like two torrents meeting each other head-on.
The clash created a shockwave of aura that spread in all directions, with the two fighters at the center of it all.
“Gosh, that’s terrifying.”
Those watching from below looked on as the frightening torrents washed all over the place with each clash. Despite only watching from far away, they all had to put up defensive barriers to avoid getting severely injured.
“The shockwaves alone could already do that much damage. Is there anyone who could compete with those two right now?”
Many were astonished by the sight, unable to believe what was happening before them.
Apparently, common cultivators who were half a step into the Divine Transformation Realm were nowhere near those two in terms of combat prowess.
Even an elite who was half a step into the Divine Transformation Realm like the Heretic was no match for those two.
“Someone with a godlike physique way above that of common people could easily overpower peers of the same level.”
Many knew that the difference between them and those two who were fighting in the sky was more than just how talented they were; it was also a difference in their constitutions.
It was like when a short, scrawny kid had been training in martial arts for 10 years. Compared to a much larger person who only trained for a month, the scrawny kid could never surpass him.
The longer each side trained, the wider and more apparent such differences between the two became.
Everyone knew what kind of physique Yan Han possessed—the Holy Body of the Sun.
A cultivator with such a body would’ve been able to easily wipe the floor with their peers. Yan Han was mostly known as the best among his peers because of his body.
Someone with such a physique would’ve definitely been able to overpower everyone else around them.
They would’ve been invincible.
However, Lu Xuan’s combat prowess was every bit on par with that of someone with a Holy Body of the Sun. It even seemed that he might’ve been more terrifying.
Everyone wondered just what kind of physique Lu Xuan possessed.
Even the Heretic, who was still in the sky, was forced to back away in awe.
“So this is what those of godlike constitution is capable of then?” The grimace on the Heretic’s face was unmistakable. Despite being a Taoist priest dedicated to his practice, he still felt very frustrated, unwilling to accept the truth before him.
However, he quickly calmed himself down. He saw that Yan Han, shrouded in golden light and looking like a sun god, was somewhat shaken from the clash.
He was actually thrown back a considerable distance.
Yan Han’s face reddened from the flush of aura.
His eyes were bloodshot—70% of it was filled with murderous intent, while 30% was filled with utter confusion.
He did not hold back earlier. He was even more ferocious than when he dealt with the Heretic.
He truly had reached his full potential, his aura raging like the sea.
He was sure that none of his peers who were on the same level as him would have been able to withstand one attack from him.
Even someone like the Heretic would have probably been severely injured if he took such an attack head-on.
In reality, Yan Han’s aura was messed up by the recoil from clashing with Lu Xuan. The backlash was so strong that he felt a bit of pain from his rattled innards.
One could’ve only imagined just how terrifying that would’ve been.
It was as if the man before him was not even a human, but rather a monster disguised as a human.
He felt like he was fighting some beast of disaster and not an actual human.
No, that wasn’t right. Even such beasts wouldn’t have been so terrifying.
After all, he would have crushed such a beast of the same level as he was midair right away instead.
Zoom!
The space before him seemed to have been torn apart before he could think about it any further. Lu Xuan appeared before Yan Han very quickly; it was as if he had teleported.
Lu Xuan charged at Yan Han as if he were a comet.
The terrifying aura around him made him look capable of crushing Earth itself.
“Die!”
Yan Han shouted in defiance, unwilling to let Lu Xuan gain the upper hand. As he made his move, the sun behind him gradually rose to the sky. That was the most terrifying scene around them at that moment, with the beams of golden light being able to crush everything in their path.
Lu Xuan’s advance was halted by that sun, preventing him from closing in on Yan Han any further.
Lu Xuan’s combat prowess was so unimaginably terrifying that his aura alone could easily be likened to the raging seas.
Yan Han’s might was overshadowed completely before him.
It even forced Yan Han to cast the miracle from his Holy Body of the Sun. A sun emerged to stop Lu Xuan in his tracks.
Meanwhile, golden beams of light burst throughout Lu Xuan’s body and transformed into a golden dragon.
The golden dragon looked ferocious with its lifelike scales. It did not shirk at all when facing off against the sun, roaring at the sky before grabbing at the sun with its two front claws.
Scrattttcchh!
At that moment, everyone seemed to hear something being torn. They soon saw the sun instantly being ripped apart.
“How is this possible?”
Yan Han was shocked. That miracle was born from his Holy Body of the Sun, which he hardly ever used in any of the battles he fought. Every time he brought the sun out, the enemy was destined to lose.
Had it been any other common cultivator who was half a step into the Divine Transformation Realm, they would have most probably ended up being severely injured by the sun. In that case, they would’ve no longer been able to fight Yan Han. Nobody had ever heard of some monster such as Lu Xuan, who was able to directly tear apart the sun.
A streak of blood was seen from the corner of Yan Han’s lips; it was a sign that he was suffering from the recoil of having such a miracle from his own body destroyed.
However, Lu Xuan did not stop at just tearing apart the sun.
He clenched his fist and threw a punch.
“Golden Dragon Claws!”
The punch transformed into a golden dragon claw capable of tearing everything in its path apart, heading straight for Yan Han.
At that moment, Yan Han had nowhere to run. The punch came right before him at blitzing speeds. All of his defensive barriers and formations were utterly useless against that punch, as they were destroyed right away.
That one punch alone had decimated all of his defenses.
Yan Han had no other choice but to take it head-on. He had no idea what else he could’ve done.
Nothing like this had ever happened before during the many battles he fought, especially when he was against his peers. He had never been the one being run over by someone of his level.
He had no idea what he was truly up against. As a Celestial Lord back in his past life, Lu Xuan was well-versed in more than just cultivation. All that combat experience that he had accumulated throughout the ages was far more than what Yan Han could comprehend.
The sun miracle that Yan Han had conjured would have thrown any other cultivator at a loss, making them unsure how to proceed from there.
Even so, Lu Xuan was able to tear it down due to his sheer, absolute power. The sun posed no threat to him at all.
Yan Han then thrust his spear at the incoming dragon claw.
Golden light filled the air again, but this time was completely different.
Everyone watched as the opposing golden beams clashed against the other, looking like two stars colliding with each other with enough force to shake the heavens.
The resulting shockwaves destroyed everything in their paths. The heavens seemed to be on the brink of collapse as well.
At that moment, the others in the mountains were all watching in awe. None of them could have stood any chance at all against either of those two goliaths.
Pffftt!
Blood spilled from someone’s mouth.
