CHAPTER 1142: CHAPTER 1142: WUDI’S BEARING

"Buzz!"

A wave of unsettling fluctuation surged in Xu Nian’s eyes.

The next moment, Xu Nian’s entire demeanor changed; his hair moved without wind, and his eyes emitted a frightening red glow.

Then Xu Nian directly threw a punch, simple but carrying a powerful force.

"Boom!"

A thunderous explosion.

"Ah..."

Chen Qing’s arm suddenly burst open, his body flung backward, blood splattered, flesh blurred.

Looking again at Xu Nian, he merely stepped back a single step, and the black scale armor on his arm just cracked without substantial damage.

"This... how is this possible?"

People around showed expressions of surprise.

The scene before them was beyond their expectations.

Chen Qing spent three hundred years of lifespan, enhancing his strength nearly a hundredfold.

A punch like this, even a Late Stage Peak Earth Immortal Powerhouse couldn’t withstand.

How was it that it was Chen Qing’s arm that exploded instead?

Such a result was unimaginable to them.

Chen Qing was also in a state of shock, having strengthened his power by a hundred times, his physical strength greatly enhanced.

Even an Earth Immortal Peak Powerhouse might not surpass him physically, but this young man before him burst his arm with a single punch.

Such a physique, isn’t it Invincible?

Xu Nian stood poised in the void, an eccentric wave constantly emanating from him, stirring the void around, causing cosmic ripples.

"His state is so bizarre, there’s an indescribable feeling, as if he has merged with the surrounding void," Liu Bai Ru said in astonishment.

"I feel it too. Confronted with him in this state, I can’t help but feel the urge to worship, a feeling of inferiority, as if he has become the master of this universe, causing fear in one’s heart." Li Tiangang remarked.

Li Anshan and Mei Ji, although silent, felt similarly in their hearts.

At this moment, Xu Nian truly exuded a True Immortal aura.

Xu Nian stood in the void, not taking advantage to chase Chen Qing.

He felt an incredibly wondrous sensation, as if he could freely harness the Space Power within the surrounding void.

Yes, the Talent Divine Ability he’s currently using is just newly mastered.

The Undying Devouring Sky Beast possesses three Talent Divine Abilities.

The first Talent Divine Ability, Swallowing Heaven and Earth, is an innate skill.

The second and third require reaching a certain growth level to be activated.

Xu Nian’s cultivation breakthrough to Earth Immortal Realm marked the Undying Devouring Sky Beast’s entrance to the juvenile stage, thus activating the second Talent Divine Ability, Control Heaven and Earth.

As for the third Talent Divine Ability, it’s likely only accessible once the Undying Devouring Sky Beast reaches maturity.

Now Xu Nian has activated the second Talent Divine Ability, Control Heaven and Earth.

Harnessing the cosmic Void Power around him, integrating into his fist, he exploded Chen Qing’s arm.

Chen Qing enhanced his strength at the cost of lifespan, but how could he compare to Xu Nian’s Heaven and Earth Power condensed strength?

"Chen Qing, your Death Rune is indeed formidable, but unfortunately, you encountered me. I didn’t intend to provoke you initially, but since you pushed the blame on us for self-preservation, you can’t blame me for being merciless." Xu Nian looked at Chen Qing ahead.

He walked slowly through the void, but with each step, rings of spatial ripples formed beneath his feet.

"Such powerful strength, how can Xu Nian possess such terrifying power? Such strength must have reached the Peak Level of Earth Immortal Realm!" Yuan Ba exclaimed.

He had a vendetta with Xu Nian, who killed his son Yuan Tianming.

Hence, he desperately wanted revenge, hoping Chen Qing could defeat Xu Nian and avenge his son.

But seeing Xu Nian’s immense strength now, his desire for revenge shattered instantly.

With Xu Nian being so powerful, seeking revenge would be suicidal.

Gu Xiangxiang beside him was also dazed, muttering in his mind, "He has grown stronger again; how can he progress so quickly?"

Gu Xiangxiang was one of the few aware of Xu Nian’s strength, yet in her impression, Xu Nian, though powerful, was not at such a level.

At this moment, Chen Qing’s expression showed the most shock, terror surged in his eyes.

He seemed locked by an invisible force, with a feeling of helplessness, as though he was falling into a quagmire.

"You forced me; I want you to understand that Chen Qing is not someone a junior like you can humiliate." Chen Qing shouted, his aura rising again.

All his skin burst open, his hair turned gray-white, entering an extreme frenzied state.

His aura reached an ultimate state, seemingly about to explode.

"This guy’s crazy! He depleted another two hundred years of lifespan?" The crowd exclaimed.

Chen Qing spent five hundred years of lifespan, the utmost he could bear.

Even if he wins this battle, his cultivation path might be hindered indefinitely.

Such rampant power causes significant damage to the body, so Chen Qing essentially ruined his foundation.

No matter if Xu Nian wins or not, forcing Chen Qing to such an extent is already quite impressive.

"If this kid survives, see if we can recruit him; with this, Mu Residence will gain a formidable ally." Wei Dong considered aloud.

"Indeed, if he survives, he’s indeed a genius of unparalleled talent, but recruiting such an exceptional genius isn’t easy." Elder Yu Mo remarked.

Wei Dong smiled without further comment, but he had already made up his mind to recruit Xu Nian.

Gui Hai Qinglong beside them, listening to the conversation, felt a wave of strong jealousy arise.

"Xu Nian, you must die!" Gui Hai Qinglong murmured with intense killing intent.

At this moment, Xu Nian couldn’t ponder others’ thoughts; he had reached the crucial point of the battle.

Because Chen Qing was charging at him again.

This time, the speed was more terrifying, the momentum more ferocious.

"Die!" Chen Qing once again launched a punch, his fist wielding immense power.

A punch aimed at Xu Nian.

Xu Nian merely sneered, his figure like a ghost, appearing in front of Chen Qing.

Then, with lightning speed, he punched before Chen Qing’s fist could make contact.

Xu Nian’s fist directly hit Chen Qing’s abdomen with terrifying power.

Instantly Chen Qing was nearly split, eyes bulging, bent like a shrimp.

As if his soul departed, he was utterly stunned!
