Sovereign of the Three Realms - Chapter 509

Chapter 509: Enormous Arm of Buddha’s Warrior Attendant

Jiang Chen’s own arts did indeed lack ways to counter earth based moves. None of the skills in his repertoire would be able to hold this Great Earth Flood back, but that didn’t mean he was helpless.

He extended his arms, and eighty one ice and fire lotuses erupted from beneath the ground like snakes, surrounding him in their mist. Jiang Chen stood within a flower with a gentle look in his eyes. He reigned supreme in the world of the Bewitching Lotus of Fire and Ice. Even the Great Earth Flood would falter before the Lotus that could drill through even the most durable of mountains. Therefore, when the Lotus emerged, the force of the Great Earth Flood was ablated to a reasonable degree.

“Rong Zifeng, you only have ten moves. Make them count!” Jiang Chen was holding back enough to even verbally spar with his opponent during the battle.

Although Jiang Chen was slightly surprised by the earth attribute art that Rong Zifeng was training, this level of gravitational restraint wasn’t enough to render him helpless. If it’d been a sage realm expert deploying the gravity art, then perhaps Jiang Chen would’ve truly been immobilized. However, Rong Zifeng was far from strong enough.

A cold hint played about Rong Zifeng’s lips when he heard the taunt, responding with a shout, “Jiang Chen, since you’re obviously seeking death, I’ll be happy to send you on your way!” His arms suddenly ballooned, rapidly becoming as thick as a pair of elephant legs. Each arm was five meters long, and resembled a giant tree trunk. His fists radiated yellow ripples the size of a great drum.

Wham!

Rong Zifeng slammed his fist down, but his target wasn’t Jiang Chen. He punched the ground as hard as he could.

Bam!

The ring shook fiercely like it had been hit by an earthquake. Jiang Chen’s body swayed as he kept his balance through the shaking.

Rong Zifeng’s other fist whistled through the air, instantly filling the space in front of Jiang Chen. The enormous fist’s descent was accompanied by countless soil-colored runes, full of the domineering aura of a sky origin realm cultivator.

Jiang Chen was inwardly impressed when he saw the overwhelming force behind the punch. The geniuses in the Sovereign Area well deserved their titles. Rong Zifeng wasn’t number six on the Sovereign Area rankings for nothing.

When the enormous fist came crashing down, Jiang Chen didn’t remain idle. He directed eighteen ice lotus vines to whip towards that enormously thick arm. “Wind around it!”

With a quick gesture, he manipulated the vines to twine around the arm. As soon as the vines were fully wrapped around the arm, he made a different seal with his hands, “Freeze!”

Eighteen ice lotuses spat out beams of frost, as the air filled with crackling sounds. The enormous arm was covered in a layer of hardened ice. The combination of the ice and the vines managed to bring Rong Zifeng’s punch to an abrupt and forceful halt!

“Great! That’s one!” Mu Gaoqi shouted from below. He’d sucked in a quick breath when he saw just how frightening this punch was. If it were him in the ring, he likely would’ve long been pounded to a fine meat paste. It was a good thing that Brother Chen was amazing and had even managed to counterattack after catching this punch.

Rong Zifeng’s fist was sealed, and the enormous surge of ice energy was even seeking to freeze his arm solid. He roared loudly as a brown haze appeared on his arm.

Wham!

The arm flexed, growing thicker again as various green tendons trembled beneath the skin like water snakes, as if they were struggling with everything they had. The vibration from the green tendons actually fractured the ice to pieces, causing it cascade to the floor in great sheets.

“Jiang Chen, take another of my punches!” This time, Rong Zifeng swept his arm over in a sweeping move that sought to clear everything before him. If the Lotus could catch that previous blow that bore down with the weight of Mt. Tai, then this arm that swept everything up in its path was aimed straight at the stalk of the Lotus.

Snap snap snap snap.

More than ten vines were instantly snapped by this momentum, but Jiang Chen was ready. He pushed out with a magnetic storm and crashed into the arm. The fist it was coming down with suddenly seemed to punch into a patch of turbulence, and Rong Zifeng was unable to bring any force to bear.

“Haha, move number two. Go Brother Chen!” Mu Gaoqi was both excited and agitated beneath the ring. He was completely enthralled in the fight now, completely oblivious to Shen Qinghong’s furrowed brow of displeasure. Mu Gaoqi was well aware that he was destined to be suppressed by Shen Qinghong in the Sovereign Area. Now that they had erupted in open hostilities, there was no need to be on tenterhooks around Shen Qinghong.

Although he was weak and cowardly, the Mu Gaoqi of today wasn’t the Mu Gaoqi of yesteryear. His mindset had started to transform.

Jiang Chen activated the fire lotuses and numerous fire vines breathed flames like dragons, surrounding Rong Zifeng’s entire arm and beginning to burn it fiercely.

Rong Zifeng cackled. “Jiang Chen, don’t waste your efforts. My Gorilla Arm is impervious to fire and water. You want to use those powers to defeat my Arm? Dream on!” He began swinging his fists manically after speaking and brought them crashing towards Jiang Chen.

Rong Zifeng was quite irked that he hadn’t connected with his first two moves. His “Gorilla Arm” method didn’t only have those two, but was a set of continuously attacking techniques. Once he deployed them, it was as if a gorilla stirring to rage, with even the heavens trembling in fear.

Bam bam bam!

The boxing aura soared to the skies as it continuously shrank the defensive perimeter from the Lotus.

Ever since Jiang Chen had obtained the Lotus, he’d never lost a battle. But currently, the Lotus was indeed being suppressed to its lowest power. It wasn’t that it wasn’t good enough, but that it was indeed difficult to contend with this crazy set of attacks with only the power of fire and water.

It was a good thing that there were many lotuses, and that Jiang Chen could control 108 vines in a single moment now. Although his defenses were being continuously shrunk, the defenses from the Lotus wouldn’t be that easily destroyed either. The most critical factor was that the Lotus had strong regeneration skills, and that was the key to Jiang Chen protecting himself.

“This won’t do, I will still end up on the back foot if I keep only defending myself. I can’t let him have a great time fighting and not respond now, can I?” With that thought, Jiang Chen once again began forming hand seals and making countless golden currents stream out of his fingers. This time, the magnetic storm he was building was many times greater than the one before. Jiang Chen suddenly pushed with both hands and sent the storm whirling towards the threatening Rong Zifeng.

Rong Zifeng was having a great time hurling punches forward when he crashed into the magnetic storm. He swayed and was almost churned into it. He hastily retracted both arms and pushed viciously forwards.

Wham!

One had to say, the Arm did indeed possess great power. This push was enough to tear the frightening magnetic storm into a shower of golden fragments of light, disappearing into the void. The two had already exchanged seven moves by now.

“Go Brother Chen! This guy only has three moves left!” Mu Gaoqi called out loudly.

Rong Zifeng was incensed. If they’d been betting based on the three moves he’d said originally, he would’ve lost already. He had never thought that Jiang Chen would be so strong. When he deployed his Gorilla Arm, even the four kings would have to let him claim his glory for a while, only defeating him when he ran out of strength. But now, it hadn’t defeated Jiang Chen even after seven blows in a row? Jiang Chen, a mere cultivator at the peak of the minor origin realm? This fellow even seemed to be only a pill genius to boot?

Rong Zifeng couldn’t accept this at all.

Jiang Chen suddenly laughed cold at this time. “Rong Zifeng, you take one of my blows too!” He pointed in the air as he spoke.

All of the fire lotuses spewed out countless gouts of flame as he moved, with his fingertip sucking away all the fire. Go! Jiang Chen stabbed forward with his finger and the terrifying force behind it filled the air.

“Skyblaze Supernova Point!” If this point was at its peak, it would be able to destroy even planets. Its destructive power was astonishing, and it arrived with a presence of setting the very skies on fire as Rong Zifeng hesitated. He grew enraged and sent forth various ripples from his palm with a thirst of the arm.

Bam!

When the force behind the finger blasted away, the defenses formed by the ripples exploded, and Rong Zifeng felt his arms grow hot when the enormous forces collided into each other.

At this time, Jiang Chen’s moves suddenly changed as he stabbed forth with another finger, one that was even more profound. “Supernova Galaxy Point!”

This move was the most annihilating out of the ones he could harness at the moment. It encompassed boundless metal energy and formed a terrifying destructive energy. The two moves arrived at almost the same time despite being fired at different times.

When Rong Zifeng felt the burning sensation, the Supernova Galaxy Point had already arrived.

Wham!

The terrifying point transformed into a golden stream and sank into his arm, causing ear piercing explosions to reverberate in people’s ear drums.

Rong Zifeng’s enormous arms were turned into bloody gore the next moment, shuddering in midair as they’d been blasted to a crimson mess by the Supernova Galaxy Point. This scene left everyone openmouthed with astonishment.

Everyone, including Shen Qinghong, were well aware of how frightening the Gorilla Arm was. But now, it’d been defeated by a minor origin realm cultivator! Even if Rong Zifeng’s bones and tendons were completely fine, this was something that had never happened before!

Mu Gaoqi was overjoyed. “Fantastic! The ninth move! Only one left Brother Chen! Hang on and victory will be yours!” Mu Gaoqi’s shouting and yelling were quite ear piercing, but also an extraordinary blow to Rong Zifeng’s psychology.

“Jiang Chen!!” Rong Zifeng threw back his head and howled, killing intent exploding in his eyes. “You… you harmed my Gorilla Arm! This is unforgivable! I will tear you to shreds for this blasphemy and eradicate you, no matter what your background or patron!”

Rong Zifeng had gone mad as he looked as his arms dripping with blood. This was a humiliation he’d never tasted before!
