As someone in the early Guiyuan Realm, yet able to defeat Ye Luofeng and Red Flame King, such people are not uncommon; the identity of the person before him was almost obvious.
Huh!
Chen Yu slowly descended, laying Ye Luofeng on a bed in a dilapidated palace.
Throughout this process, Meng Chixiong continued to stand in the sky and did not intervene.
"Be careful, he is very strong!"
Ye Luofeng couldnât help but reach out and touch Chen Yuâs arm, then immediately withdrew her hand.
"I am strong too!"
Chen Yu gave a faint smile, but as he turned around, his smile instantly morphed into a cold demeanor.
Booom!
The ground gave in, leaving a footprint; Chen Yu had already charged forward, drawing the Giant Ruler Sword and slashing fiercely at Meng Chixiong.
As Meng Chixiong was a Destiny Protagonist among the Nine Clans of Beiyuan, Chen Yu knew not to underestimate him.
He himself was a living example of someone with great destiny, rising step by step and had now reached the Guiyuan Realm.
Meng Chixiong also carried the same destiny and based on reports, had broken through the Guiyuan Realm four years ago with a very solid cultivation base; by now, he was probably ready to push towards the early peak of the realm.
Meng Chixiong wore a look of anticipation, his body bursting out with fierce flames, and his right fist turned red, smashing down.
"Gravity attribute?"
Meng Chixiong felt the gravitational field from Chen Yuâs Giant Ruler Sword, his figure slightly sank feeling some pressure.
Booom!
The giant sword collided with the red fist, and moments later, the black light demon patterns on the sword extinguished the surging red flames.
Chen Yu had broken through to the Guiyuan Realm, and the "Heavenly Demon Secret Pattern Record" naturally advanced to the fourth layer.
Inside his body, all the True Qi and Half-step True Essence transformed into Demon Pattern True Essence.
Before breaking through, the Half-step True Essence was equivalent to regular True Essence, but now, the Demon Pattern True Essence that transformed from Half-step True Essence became even stronger!
In their first clash, Chen Yu already had the upper hand.
Of course, having just broken through to the Guiyuan Realm, Chen Yu had not had time to adjust to his power or solidify his cultivation before he rushed into battle. Hence, his control over True Essence was not ideal. Although he had the upper hand with that strike, he did not inflict any damage on Meng Chixiong.
"Just breaking through the Guiyuan Realm and possessing such powerful True Essence, truly a person with great destiny. It seems you also have your own unique experiences."
Meng Chixiong started to regard Chen Yu even more seriously.
"Less nonsense."
Chen Yu snorted coldly and charged again.
This person attacked while he was in seclusion. Had it not been for Ye Luofeng and Red Flame Kingâs interference, he might have failed his breakthrough, and Ye Luofeng was seriously injured because of it.
Faced with the fierce Chen Yu, Meng Chixiong did not retreat in the slightest, but his fighting spirit soared even higher.
Huh!
He stretched out his left hand, and a layer of dark yellow phantom enveloped around Chen Yu, forming an even stronger gravitational field.
The gravitational field from Chen Yuâs Half Spirit Artifact weakened, and his movements were also hindered.
Booom!
The two clashed again, evenly matched.
"Kill!"
Chen Yu shouted loudly, his eyes surging with demonic intent, exuding a strong and contemptuous demonic aura.
Holding the sword with both hands, he chopped frenziedly.
With Chen Yuâs strong physique, the gravitational field released by Meng Chixiong had limited effect on him.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In the sky, the black light and red flames continuously exploded, thrilling.
"His physical strength is so strong!"
Meng Chixiong was slightly surprised.
First, Chen Yuâs movements remained very swift under the influence of his gravitational field.
Secondly, his massive flame attacks, occasionally some residuals landed on Chen Yu, but did not cause him any harm.
And with each collision, he felt a strong force transmitted to him, if it werenât for his strong physique, he probably could not have withstood it.
Not far away, people from the Snow Mountain Tribe were incredulous.
"Just breaking through the Guiyuan Realm, and able to fight General Meng to a standstill, itâs incredible."
"Hmph, General Meng still hasnât played his trump card, otherwise this kid would be crushed instantly!"
Meng Chixiong, a renowned hero of the Nine Clans, was the God of War in many peopleâs hearts; they believed that Meng Chixiong would definitely defeat Chen Yu.
Besides, Meng Chixiong had never been defeated.
"Red Dragon Sniff!"
Meng Chixiongâs flames vaguely formed a flame dragon phantom that followed his palm strike.
Chen Yu held the sword with both hands, wielding the sword technique, and the massive Demon Pattern True Essence on the Giant Ruler Sword burst forth, forming a demonic light nebula.
Boom boom boom!
The two powerful moves collided, the sky interwove with black and red, and clouds of fire surged.
Before the aftermath had dissipated, Chen Yu plunged into it.
However, he suddenly felt a strong aura rushing from the other side.
It turns out Meng Chixiong chose the same approach.
But at this moment, Meng Chixiongâs aura was even more powerful and ferocious, giving Chen Yu a sense of invisible oppression.
"This is the aura of bloodline."
Chen Yu sensed.
He saw, on Meng Chixiongâs ancient yellow skin emerged a layer of rocky patterns, his body slightly heightened, and his entire figure seemed like a small mountain.
Booom!
The two clashed forcefully, Chen Yu was repelled a step back.
With the power of bloodline activated, Meng Chixiongâs defense and strength greatly increased.
He suddenly extended his left hand and grasped at the air.
Instantly, a dark yellow small mountain phantom descended around Chen Yu, at this moment, the gravitational field released by Meng Chixiong became several times stronger than before.
"Those gloves, can simultaneously exert the power of cultivation technique and bloodline."
Chen Yu sighed internally.
Whoosh!
Meng Chixiong rushed forward rapidly, his right handâs flames condensed, striking ferociously.
Meng Chixiongâs bloodline not only amplified defense and granted control over gravity but also enhanced strength.
"Itâs not just you who has a bloodline."
Chen Yu shouted lowly, unwilling to take it slow with Meng Chixiong, immediately mobilized the dragon scale bloodline power within his body.
Suddenly, his demon body shimmered, a dark red gleam passing over it before forming a layer of dark red scales, sinister and terrifying.
Boom!
Activating his Bloodline Power, Chen Yu thrust his sword forward, and the immense black demon pattern contorted, subtly twisting into the shape of a dragon shadow that roared forth.
In an instant, Meng Chixiongâs attack was torn apart by the dragon shadow sword light.
"What a powerful bloodline!"
Meng Chixiongâs gaze slightly hardened.
However, he wasnât too surprised; he had never underestimated the other Destiny Protagonist prophesied by the Great Witch.
He possessed the power of bloodline himself, so it was possible that his opponent also had Bloodline Power.
Ha!
Meng Chixiong roared aloud, fully activating his Bloodline Power and Cultivation Technique. His earthy yellow skin, hard as rock, suddenly turned red hot and began to crack, spewing out intense flames.
At that moment, Meng Chixiongâs Cultivation Technique and Bloodline Power merged and complemented each other.
Now, he looked somewhat ferocious, like a lava war god, exerting a heavy and scorching fearsome pressure.
Chen Yu, on the other hand, resembled a sinister Demon Lord.
Boom!
Both surged forward and collided fiercely, fire waves and black winds masking everything.
Meng Chixiongâs body was extremely hard and scorchingly hot. Fire nourished earth; the two powers complemented each other, making his punch as powerful as a sudden volcanic eruption.
In contrast, Chen Yuâs burst of power seemed slightly weaker.
However, Chen Yuâs Secret Pattern Demon Body had formidable defense, and with the added defense from his dragon scale bloodline, Meng Chixiong couldnât harm him at all.
After exchanging a punch, both unleashed another round of fierce attacks.
Bang bang bang!
Those below couldnât see anything; they only heard rapid loud explosions within the black and red flames cloud.
"Too terrifying."
Deputy Commander Weiâs forehead was dripping with cold sweat, heart pounding with fear.
At the same time, he hoped that Chen Yu wouldnât fail; otherwise, they would all perish here.
"It seems I cannot take you down just like that."
Meng Chixiong stared at Chen Yu, eyes full of resolve, his chest heaving violently.
"Hehe, no one at my level has managed to fight me in close combat to this extent."
Chen Yu gave a light laugh, feeling somewhat impressed with the person before him.
"However, all battles must come to an end."
Meng Chixiong calmed himself.
He slapped his storage bag, withdrawing a dark yellow talisman paper detailed with extremely complex and obscure symbolic lines that, upon a mere glance, could dazzle the eyes.
"What is this?"
Chen Yu grew cautious.
Swoosh!
Meng Chixiong suddenly flung the dark yellow talisman paper.
Before it hit Chen Yu, it eerily burned up, turning into a stream of green smoke that encircled Chen Yu, and then gradually disappeared.
In a flash, Chen Yu sensed something was amiss.
He suddenly felt his body heavy, his abilities somewhat weakened.
"The Great Witchâs witchcraft power is indeed formidable."
Meng Chixiong said with a faint smile.
This piece of talisman paper, given to him by the Great Witch before he left, was said to be capable of restraining Chen Yu.
Now, it seemed the Great Witch had indeed anticipated correctly.
As a Body Cultivator, Chen Yu relied heavily on physical strength, and this talisman, named "Weakness," could diminish the bodily life force, leading to a state of fatigue and weakness.
Chen Yuâs physique weakened, including the strength of his dragon scale bloodline.
At this moment, Chen Yuâs combat strength was truly reduced.
"Thereâs actually such power."
Chen Yu was shocked, realizing there were always bigger fishes, and the mysterious power Meng Chixiong had just displayed was elusive and particularly effective against him.
Swoosh!
Meng Chixiong charged violently, employing a gravity field in one hand, while the other hand swung a punch.
"Demon Scale Shield."
Chen Yu used a Demon Rune Battle Technique, forming a protective shield of scale patterns around him.
However, Meng Chixiong in his prime state, stronger than an average Early Guiyuan Realm Peak, launched an attack that was ferociously unstoppable.
Rumble!
After a brief standoff, Meng Chixiongâs punch melted through the Demon Scale Shield, heading straight for Chen Yuâs chest.
"Demon Scale Armor!"
Chen Yu immediately activated the battle technique capable with the third demon pattern.
While also being a defensive battle skill, the Demon Scale Armor consumed less and formed a suit of armor that clung to the Secret Pattern Demon Body, effectively merging their defensive power.
Chen Yuâs body was covered in a surge of dark black scale patterns in an instant, forming a majestic and commanding demon armor all over him.
Bang!
A fierce punch came crashing down, yet Chen Yu did not move an inch, withstanding it firmly.
"Even using âWeaknessâ hardly injures him."
Meng Chixiong was greatly surprised.
Chen Yuâs cultivation of the "Heavenly Demon Secret Pattern Record," known as the ancient top defensive Cultivation Technique, made his defense even more infuriating to his enemies.
At this moment, Meng Chixiong felt that Chen Yu was like a turtle shell, impenetrable no matter how he attacked.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Even in a weakened state, Chen Yu was not one to just take hits and not fight back; at this moment, his heart fiercely erupted.
Suddenly, Chen Yu felt the life force bursting from his mysterious heart, seeming to have a strong resistance against the witchcraft power that weakened his body.
Simultaneously, the beating of his heart seemed to affect the witchcraft force oppressing him, causing it to tremble and dissipate somewhat.
As the eruption from his heart continued, Chen Yuâs sense of weakness gradually disappeared.
Great!
"Demon Scale Claw!"
Without a second word, Chen Yu executed another Demon Rune Battle Technique, the first demon claw pattern on his right hand seemingly coming to life, covering his entire arm, appearing like a demonic dragon claw.
Whoosh!
He clawed out, black True Yuan forming a fearsome and grotesque demon claw, its surface covered with bizarre patterns, ancient and sinisterâdomineering and overpowering.
