That was a personal martial will imprinted upon the very fabric of this world.
Stepping into the half-step Imperial Dao, it was Chen Jiuyang's first punch after condensing his Martial Dao Furnace, and his most powerful to date!
From the True Qi of the Profound Realm, to the Divine Abilities of the Heavenly Realm, then to the Dao Venerable Realm's nurturing of Dao, condensing Dao, imprinting true names, and forging the furnace, Chen Jiuyang's entire being was fused and integrated!
And all this under the state of Heavenly Man Unity!
As this punch was unleashed, Fang Lie Daoist, Qiu Ling Daoist, and the great demon Ning Shang perceived nothing more than a boundless and vast aura and power.
But in the eyes of Lotus Birth Mother, this punch striking towards her was not merely a matter of the heavens and earth losing their color, nor the terrifying exclusion and compression of heaven and earth, but rather—
Despair!
As this punch came towards her, she felt her facial features almost receding, as if she had lost all perception of the outside world. This immediately startled her, and a sense of mortal danger surged within her heart once more!
On her wrinkled old face, expressions of shock, anger, fear, confusion, and bewilderment flashed, her emotions surging!
How could this be!
This brat is less than fifty years old, his lifespan not even a fraction of hers. Even if he forged a Martial Dao Furnace, why is his strength so terrifying, capable of threatening her life in battle!
In this era, the emergence of Yan Fengyun had already given her a headache, forcing her to bow her head and join forces with the Five Great Sacred Lands to kill Yan Fengyun.
And this brat…
"I don't believe it!!!"
Lotus Birth Mother's wrinkled face trembled with rage, and she let out a long roar, her azure true qi erupting: "Eight Generations of Immortal Cultivation!!!"
With the accumulation of ten thousand years of martial arts, the support of forbidden techniques from the Immortal Clan, and the fusion of myriad laws, her Dao could only be described as 'terrifying'!
In an instant, Lotus Birth Mother's physical body seemed to split, or perhaps it was afterimages, as her hands frantically formed seals.
Amidst the surging azure true qi, countless divine abilities erupted, like countless great fish emerging from the sea's surface, and then—
"Rumble!!!"
The heavens and earth roared, and the flowers, plants, and trees within a five-hundred-meter radius vanished instantly. The intense shockwaves could even reach three to five kilometers away!
A sky full of white mist suddenly rose into the sky. After one move.
"Brat!!!"
Lotus Birth Mother's physical body flew backward, covered in blood, her eyes filled with venom: "This grandmother will surely kill you one day!"
She actually used the residual force of Chen Jiuyang's punch to turn and escape the battlefield.
The might of a single punch had gravely injured Lotus Birth Mother, forcing her to flee without a fight!
Many people's expressions changed.
"Hoo~~~"
Chen Jiuyang stood in place, his punch delivered. His skin was like gold and raging fire, shimmering with a faint light. A nearly tangible spiritual energy emanated from his skin, and his eyes flickered with uncertainty:
"If not for Emperor Yan being heavily injured, and the presence of people from the Five Great Sacred Lands and this great demon, I would certainly pursue and kill this man-eating old monster."
"This battle has only just begun..."
Chen Jiuyang took a step forward. The blood furnace in his chest provided him with inexhaustible strength. The earth-shattering punch had consumed very little.
The forging of a furnace, referred to as 'Golden Core' in Daoism and 'Sarira' in Buddhism, is the ultimate manifestation of reaching the pinnacle of a Dao, merely a difference in nomenclature.
Forging a furnace means completely breaking the limits of the human body, transcending the mundane in physical body, Dao techniques, combat skills, and spirit.
"If we cannot eliminate this devil, we might not be able to kill this Yan Fengyun today..."
Fang Lie Daoist's eyes were grave. Then, he instantly pushed his own Dao-Enlightenment Furnace to its limit, his body's blood vessels erupting, spreading crimson all over his body, his skin stretched taut!
And then, in an instant, he charged towards Chen Jiuyang, sonic booms erupting into the sky. His weapon was like a venomous dragon emerging from its lair, accompanied by a roaring sound:
"Kill!"
"Boom!"
Before the earth-shattering sonic boom had fully subsided, it was interrupted by an even more terrifying move.
Chen Jiuyang drew the Yan Sheng Saber from his waist and suddenly slashed out. In an instant.
Red and black intertwined in the sky. The extremely potent force, divine abilities, and profound insights of both sides were displayed to their fullest in this single saber strike.
After the saber strike.
"Clang!"
On the saber's body, a colossal phantom of gods and demons suddenly appeared. This was Chen Jiuyang's personal martial will, manifesting in the world.
The taste of iron and blood, a tangible assault, washed over him. Even Fang Lie Daoist's expression faltered for a moment under this saber strike.
This is…
"Such personal martial will…"
Fang Lie Daoist was startled, a flicker of fear in his eyes: "If you are not going to act now, when will you wait!"
As this sentence was roared out, a thought arose in his mind: 'I am inferior to him,' followed by 'Absurd!'
He, a peerless mighty being who had ascended to the Imperial Dao countless years ago, was actually inferior to a brat who had just forged a Martial Dao Furnace?
However, in less than a moment, this thought was swept away, replaced by an even more ferocious ferocity:
"I want to see how strong your Martial Dao Furnace is!!!"
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
One move after another, as if unleashing the rules of the Great Dao, the residual force of one move directly blew away and shattered distant mountain ranges.
Was the title of Peerless Martial Mighty Being merely for show?
"Crash! Crash! Crash!"
Suddenly, Fang Lie Daoist, Qiu Ling Daoist, and the great demon Ning Shang simultaneously attacked Chen Jiuyang from different directions.
Even Emperor Yan watched with concern in his eyes.
Chen Jiuyang had just forged his Martial Dao Furnace and had not yet fully tempered it, yet he was to face the combined assault of three peerless mighty beings…
If he could not withstand it, before these three could kill Chen Jiuyang, the shattering of Chen Jiuyang's Martial Dao Furnace would lead to his own demise.
However, the 'Sleepless' Patriarch standing beside him did not intervene. His Martial Dao Furnace, forged with five origins, was unprecedented. He did not believe that these mere three ordinary peerless mighty beings could push Sect Master Chen Jiuyang into a desperate situation.
If it truly came to that point, Sect Master Qian Yang would contact him, and since the Sect Master had not contacted him yet, he had his own plans.
Just as Patriarch 'Sleepless' pondered, Chen Jiuyang himself intended to test the strength of his furnace.
Facing the combined assault of these three peerless mighty beings, Chen Jiuyang, with a fist in one hand and a saber in the other, engaged in dozens of moves in an instant, fighting like falling meteors, with constant flashes of light.
"This devil…"
"Just by forging his furnace, he can hold out for so long against the three of us, and is already so terrifying before breaking through to the Imperial Realm."
"If he were to step into the Imperial Dao, what then! It's likely…"
After exchanging blows with Chen Jiuyang, Qiu Ling Daoist immediately understood the pressure that Fang Lie Daoist and Lotus Birth Mother had felt.
"This state of Heavenly Man Unity is truly strange… Only enemies locked onto by his spiritual will can truly feel his strength. Otherwise, at first glance, what's the difference from an ordinary person?"
A punch, a palm, a spear!
All were blocked by Chen Jiuyang's saber. He let out a breath, exhaling turbid air:
"Peerless Mighty Beings?"
"Nothing more than that."
"You have disappointed me somewhat."
