CHAPTER 1445: CHAPTER 1416: WHETSTONE

The earth attribute is heavy, while the water attribute is gentle.

When these two are combined, a wondrous power is generated.

And Li Chen’s Stacking Fist is the most suitable for the fusion of these two attributes.

The first layer of attack is like a mountain, pressing down on someone until they can hardly breathe, and the subsequent second, third, or even more layers are even more violent, like the endless waves of the ocean.

Indeed, you might not fear wave after wave, but what if mountain after mountain were to bear down on you?

Right now, such is the feeling for this Envy Heaven Realm powerhouse, who feels like he is being continuously pummeled by mountain after mountain.

Even with his cultivation at the late stage of the Envy Heaven Realm, he was sent flying, coughing blood incessantly in mid-air as his chest caved in at a bizarre rate, almost squeezing his internal organs to bursting.

This is the Stacking Fist of Li Chen.

After reaching the Heavenly Level, Li Chen perfected the Stacking Fist to be even more terrifying. For the current Li Chen, his killer move is no longer limited to sword techniques alone.

Everyone witnessing this scene couldn’t help but show expressions of astonishment.

It was already unexpected that Li Chen, a martial artist at the late stage of the Mid-Heaven Realm, dared to challenge an Envy Heaven Realm late stage, but to everyone’s surprise, Li Chen’s punch actually inflicted serious injury upon the Envy Heaven Realm late stage martial artist.

However, Li Chen had no intention of lingering in battle. After injuring the Envy Heaven Realm late stage with one punch, he immediately turned and sprinted outside.

The ring was nothing but a ruse, empty inside, containing nothing.

Seeing Li Chen charging forward, the martial artists on the perimeter rushed to intercept him the moment they could.

However, at this moment, a blood-red long knife appeared in Li Chen’s hand.

It was the Red Moon!

After a period of dormancy, Red Moon had completed its metamorphosis, its blade becoming even more clear and bright. The blood-red edge was like it had been soaked in an endless sea of blood, making anyone who gazed upon it shiver with an involuntary chill.

"Unsheathing the sword—Slay a thousand soldiers!"

A terrifying scarlet blade light soared skyward and then came crashing down on the surrounding martial artists.

The martial artists from the Xuanlian Commerce Chamber who came to intercept were below the Envy Heaven Realm, directly severed by this one cut from Li Chen, thoroughly bifurcated, their bodies cracking inch by inch.

This one cut took the lives of all the mid-Heaven Realm martial artists daring to intercept him.

Even those in the Envy Heaven Realm, though not killed outright, staggered back in terror.

Terrifying wounds appeared on their bodies, incredibly severe, putting their lives at risk without prompt healing.

At this moment, these people finally realized the terror of this youth who seemingly hadn’t yet reached the Envy Heaven Realm cultivation. The ordinary martial artists dared not impede him any longer, letting Li Chen break through.

However, behind Li Chen came a fierce shout.

"Trying to run?! Die!"

This voice came from another powerhouse at the late stage of the Envy Heaven Realm.

The Envy Heaven Realm late stage injured by Li Chen’s punch knew he couldn’t stop Li Chen in his current state and had already revealed the secret.

Behind Li Chen, a golden light suddenly descended.

It shattered the ground, terrifying power exploding in all directions, causing the surrounding martial artists to retreat in horror.

The Envy Heaven Realm late stage martial artist was clearly not someone they could contend with.

Reaching the Ninefold Heaven of the Heavenly Realm, power undergoes a dramatic transformation, especially after the fusion of law and True Yuan, resulting in astonishing metamorphosis. The gap between each minor rank is perhaps as vast as that of a major rank at a lower level.

A Envy Heaven Realm late stage martial artist could indeed be considered invincible here.

But Li Chen did not see it that way!

"I can’t defeat a third-level Celestial Demon Beast, but no matter how strong an Envy Heaven Realm is, it’s still just that. Unless they reach the Heaven Following Realm, I refuse to believe they can’t be dealt with!" A resolve flashed in Li Chen’s eyes, and his figure flickered, racing quickly toward the depths of Devil Ruin Mountain.

As soon as Li Chen departed, Hujin and others moved too.

A group immediately launched an assault on the injured Envy Heaven Realm late stage.

No one dared to act while he was in peak condition, but now it was a different story. Among these martial artists, there were even some in the Envy Heaven Realm, and two were at the mid-stage of the Envy Heaven Realm.

Hujin and others, along with the two Envy Heaven mid-stages, immediately joined the siege, intent on killing the Xuanlian Commerce Chamber’s Envy Heaven Realm late stage.

As for the other martial artists, unwilling to relinquish their gains, they clashed with the surrounding Xuanlian Commerce Chamber martial artists.

To ensure the matter didn’t reach the Xuanlian Commerce Chamber headquarters, these people all had to die!

A group of martial artists, eyes red, engaged in a life-and-death struggle.

...

Li Chen darted forward, using his wind and thunder attribute enhancement to speed up, but the Envy Heaven Realm late stage behind him was clearly not slow either. In terms of True Yuan, the late stage Envy Heaven Realm, in any case, was much stronger than Li Chen. Though Li Chen was fast, his opponent was even slightly faster.

Of course, if Li Chen used his spatial attribute to flee, this guy could only eat dust.

However, Li Chen had no intention of fleeing!

He was going to treat this late-stage Envy Heaven Realm as his whetstone!

"Run, keep running, huh?" Seeing Li Chen suddenly come to a stop, the Envy Heaven Realm late-stage martial artist sneered.

Ahead lay a valley, but it was not tranquil; instead, it was extremely violent, with wild gales continually erupting, causing their robes to flap noisily.

Here it was, Devil Ruin Mountain’s famous Storm Valley!

"Who said I was running?" Li Chen shook his neck, stretched his muscles, and joints cracked in a burst of ’pattering’ sounds.

"I just wanted to find a better place to make a move," Li Chen smiled. "If there are too many people, I’m afraid you’ll run away."

Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, the Envy Heaven Realm late-stage martial artist’s face darkened.

It was the first time he’d heard such arrogance from a mere Mid-Heaven Realm individual.

A Mid-Heaven Realm, actually wanting to kill him? And afraid he’d run? Such ignorance!

However, he remembered the punch that heavily injured his comrade earlier at the Enchanted World entrance, and his heart grew wary.

Though just a Mid-Heaven Realm, to harm his comrade was no simple feat, or else he wouldn’t be saying such things.

His gaze turned cautious.

"So, have you thought it over?" Li Chen asked calmly.

"I have thought it over." The Envy Heaven Realm late-stage martial artist nodded grimly, his face turning vicious: "You may die now!"

As he spoke, a golden cold light suddenly attacked from behind Li Chen.
