Chapter 2159 Devastating Victory
Wei Yelan's pupils narrowed slightly the moment they locked onto Chen Fei and Cao Feiyu.
Just now, through the spatial portal, although he sensed Chen Fei's aura rising, he didn't take it seriously.
However, at this moment, with their true forms descending, the aura fluctuations of Chen Fei and Cao Feiyu, belonging to the late stage of the Tai Cang Realm, were clearly reflected in his perception at close range.
Chen Fei, in particular, not only stood firmly at the late stage of the Tai Cang Realm, but his aura was also rising rapidly towards the peak of the late stage of the Tai Cang Realm at a speed that made even him feel his heart pound.
Cao Feiyu, standing beside him, though not as ferocious as Chen Fei, was still firmly in the late stage of the Tai Cang Realm, with a cool moonlight flowing around her and the phantom of the Xuan Bird behind her becoming increasingly solid.
"They actually both broke through to the late stage of the Tai Cang Realm in such a short time?" Wei Yelan felt an indescribable sense of absurdity and rage rising in his heart.
Immediately, this absurdity and rage were replaced by an even stronger killing intent and greed. What good is a breakthrough? They're nothing more than two slightly fatter ants.
Breaking through in the heat of battle, with an unstable cultivation level, is precisely when they are at their weakest and easiest to exploit. Not to mention, the rapidly increasing aura emanating from them, the pure and powerful energy fluctuations, are, in Wei Yelan's perception, no less than a peerless elixir exuding a deadly allure.
If he devours them, especially that human boy who is frantically consuming vital energy, he might be able to break through the barrier that has troubled him for many years and truly step into the peak of the Tai Cang Realm.
"Even if you break through, you'll still die!"
Wei Yelan let out a low, violent roar that shook the hall. Before he finished speaking, Wei Yelan's right hand, covered in dark red bone armor, suddenly lashed out forward.
"Buzz!"
The void trembled, and viscous, dark red demonic energy gathered wildly, instantly condensing into a grotesque two-handed giant axe in his hand.
The axe body is not metal, but rather resembles a solidified polymer of darkness and resentment, its surface covered with distorted, tormented human face reliefs that constantly emit silent wails.
The axe blade was not sharpened; instead, it had an irregular serrated shape, with a faint, dark purple demonic flame burning along its edges, emitting a chilling, corrosive, and tearing pattern.
The moment this giant axe appeared, the surrounding space seemed to freeze.
Holding a giant black axe, Wei Yelan's monstrous body, towering over ten feet tall, suddenly stomped forward.
"Boom!"
The floor of the great hall, inscribed with ancient runes, shattered like tofu beneath his feet, sending shards of stone flying and leaving behind numerous craters emitting black smoke, corroded by demonic energy. Wei Yelan's figure vanished instantly with that single step.
In the next instant, Wei Yelan's demonic body, exuding overwhelming ferocity, appeared out of thin air less than three zhang away from Chen Fei. The ferocious giant axe burning with dark purple demonic flames in his hand was raised high above his head, and the demonic flames on the axe blade surged.
Wei Yelan let out a sinister laugh, gripping the axe handle tightly with both hands. His dark red lava muscles erupted with terrifying power, and the scorpion tail on his back, covered with joints, suddenly straightened, its tip flashing with a dark, poisonous light, echoing the axe's momentum.
He held nothing back, unleashing his full power to cleave the human youth in the midst of his breakthrough in two with a single axe strike, tearing apart and devouring his soul as well.
The pitch-black giant axe, carrying the terrifying power to cleave through the soul, tore through space, leaving a long, lingering black trail, and slashed down fiercely toward Chen Fei's head.
Before the axe even arrived, its extremely sharp edge and terrifying resentment had already caused ripples to spread across Chen Fei's body.
Chen Fei stared at the massive black axe hurtling toward his head, neither dodging nor retreating a step.
The fist is clenched, without dazzling light or earth-shattering momentum; it's just like an ordinary person casually raising their hand and then throwing a punch.
But the instant the punch was thrown, Wei Yelan's pupils, which were burning with dark red flames, suddenly shrank to the size of pinpoints.
Because he felt a terrifying power that made his soul tremble, bursting forth from that fist.
Wherever the fist passed, space silently twisted and collapsed, forming a black trail visible to the naked eye.
A faint, dark golden light flashed across his fist, containing the Daoist essence of devouring, destruction, and the ultimate power.
next moment.
"clang!"
Fist and axe clashed together without any fancy moves.
There was no crisp, metallic clang, only a deafening, yet terrifyingly loud, explosion, as vast as a thunderclap from the heavens.
The sound was so intense that it instantly shattered the wailing of the vengeful spirits attached to the giant axe, transforming into a ring-shaped shockwave mixed with dark gold and pitch black. Centered on the point of contact between the fist and the axe, it exploded and soared into the sky.
"Boom!"
Where the circular shockwave passed, the walls, pillars, and dome of the main hall, inscribed with defensive runes, groaned as if struck by an invisible giant hammer. The entire ancient hall shook violently, as if it might collapse completely at any moment.
The core of the shockwave, where fists and axes clashed.
The sinister smile on Wei Yelan's face froze and stiffened, replaced by unparalleled horror and disbelief.
His natal demonic weapon, forged from countless resentments, twisted and deformed at a visible speed at the moment of impact, even developing fine cracks.
At the same time, the force emanating from the axe handle was so domineering as to be inconceivable. It was as if it were not a fist, but a star plane falling from the heavens, carrying the will to crush everything, and slamming heavily onto his giant axe.
Wei Yelan's demonic body shuddered violently, as if struck head-on by an invisible divine mountain.
The cracking sound of bones breaking echoed from his arms gripping the axe handle, and his tiger's mouth split open instantly, spurting out demonic blood like molten lava. His proud and powerful demonic body appeared so fragile before this pure power.
Wei Yelan felt a numbness in his arms and could no longer hold the giant axe. The demonic weapon was forcefully blasted upwards and flew out of his hand. It transformed into a jet-black stream of light and embedded itself deeply into a thick stone pillar in the distance, all the way down to the hilt.
The stone pillar groaned under the weight, cracking open with countless spiderweb-like fissures.
After blasting away the giant axe, Chen Fei's fist continued its relentless advance without pause, tearing through space with an unstoppable and terrifying momentum, hurtling towards Wei Yelan's head.
The force of the punch completely shattered the space around Wei Yelan's head. The bone spurs on his face even cracked under the pressure of the fierce punch.
Everything happened too fast. From Chen Fei throwing a punch to the giant axe being blasted away, and then the fist aimed straight for the head, it all happened in the blink of an eye.
Before Wei Yelan's shock could fully dissipate, Chen Fei's fist, carrying immense and unstoppable force, was already inches away.
"Roar!"
At the critical moment of life and death, Wei Yelan let out a violent roar. After all, he was a vengeful demon at the peak of the Tai Cang Realm, and his reaction was extremely fast.
Almost the instant the fist struck his body, his left arm, covered in dark red bone armor, suddenly flipped and rose, like a dark red shield, blocking his head in the nick of time.
On his arm, the dark red bone armor erupted with intense blood-red light, countless twisted black runes flashing and swirling wildly, emanating a dense aura of resentment and venom. At the same time, demonic blood surged, pouring all its power into it, attempting to withstand this fatal blow.
"boom!"
This collision, though not as loud as the clash of fists and axes, was more muffled and heavy, as if two solid iron mountains were crashing together.
"Crack!"
A crisp, dense sound, like shattering glass, exploded instantly from the point of impact.
The grotesque bone armor on Wei Yelan's left arm cracked inch by inch the moment it made contact with Chen Fei's fist, and then shattered with a deafening roar. Countless fragments of bone armor, mixed with viscous dark red demonic blood, shot out in all directions.
"Ugh!"
Wei Yelan let out a muffled groan of extreme pain. The terrifying power contained in that fist not only destroyed his left arm, but the remaining force also surged into his body like a flood bursting its banks, frantically destroying his meridians and internal organs.
His demonic body could no longer hold on, and he was forced to stagger backward by the immense force.
"Boom boom boom!"
Each step backward was incredibly heavy, leaving deep footprints several feet deep in the solid floor of the hall. Each step was accompanied by a violent tremor of the ground and the groans of his bones as they could no longer bear the weight.
After staggering back seven or eight steps, carving deep furrows in the ground, Wei Yelan barely managed to steady himself. He knelt on one knee and used his remaining right arm to support himself, preventing himself from collapsing completely.
"puff!"
Another mouthful of dark red demonic blood gushed from Wei Yelan's mouth, corroding the ground in front of him and leaving it in a mess.
Just one move.
No, strictly speaking, it was just one of Chen Fei's actions.
He wielded his natal demonic weapon and attacked with all his might, but his weapon was blasted away by a punch from his opponent, and his left arm was shattered by another punch. He was sent flying backward, coughing up blood, looking utterly disheveled.
This...this is impossible!
He could accept that these two people had broken through to the late stage of the Tai Cang Realm, but he could not accept that a human cultivator who had just broken through to the late stage of the Tai Cang Realm, and whose realm might not even be completely stable yet, possessed such terrifying and unparalleled combat power.
That pure and extreme power, that domineering and unparalleled fist intent, that power that easily pierced through his bone armor defense... How could this be the strength of a cultivator who has just broken through to the late stage of the Tai Cang Realm?
The power contained in that punch carried a terrifying will that transcended ordinary rules, devouring and destroying everything, making his defense appear so fragile in the face of that power.
"You lowly human, you deserve to die!"
Wei Yelan suddenly raised his head and let out a hysterical roar. This roar was no longer just anger, but also carried a resolute determination to sacrifice everything, even if it meant mutual destruction.
With that roar, Wei Yelan's towering demonic body, which was over ten feet tall, suddenly swelled and grew taller.
"Click, click, click!"
New bone armor, covered with barbs and twisted runes, burst forth from his body like living things, covering him.
"boom!"
A terrifying aura, far more violent than before, erupted from Wei Yelan's body, forming a visible dark red energy storm that swept wildly in all directions from his center.
The aura emanating from him was no longer at the critical peak of the Tai Cang Realm, but had truly entered the realm of the peak of the Tai Cang Realm.
Although it seemed somewhat unstable, with a feeling of overdrawing its own essence, the terrifying power belonging to the peak of the Tai Cang Realm was real.
Clearly, under the stimulation of life-or-death crisis and extreme humiliation, Wei Yelan used some forbidden technique with a huge cost to forcibly break through that barrier, allowing his power to truly climb to the peak of the Tai Cang Realm in a short period of time.
"Roar!"
Wei Yelan let out another earth-shattering roar, the sound wave shattering the remaining rubble around him into dust. He suddenly raised his remaining right arm and grabbed at the black giant axe deeply embedded in the stone pillar in the distance.
"Buzz!"
The ferocious giant axe let out a bloodthirsty tremor, suddenly breaking free from the stone pillar and transforming into a black streak of light, flying back into Wei Yelan's fan-like right palm.
On the axe, the previously dim human face reliefs became clear and distorted again, even more ferocious and terrifying than before.
On the axe blade, the dark purple demonic flames that had been extinguished suddenly burst into flames again with a roar, the edges of the flames even scorching the space around them with fine cracks.
Wei Yelan's bloodshot eyes, which faintly revealed a hint of madness, were fixed on Chen Fei, and he took another step forward.
A huge crater exploded in the ground, and his massive body instantly traversed the distance, appearing in front of Chen Fei.
He held the giant axe burning with pure black demonic flames high above his head, and the violent demonic energy within his body, which had been forcibly raised to the peak of the Tai Cang Realm, surged into the axe like a river bursting its banks.
Soul-Splitting World-Destroying Slash!
Wei Yelan poured all his strength, resentment, and killing intent into this axe, and fiercely cleaved it down at Chen Fei.
Wherever the axe blade passed, it left a spatial rift with its edges burning with pure black demonic flames. The rift spread, as if it would split the entire hall in two.
Before the axe even arrived, the terrifying killing intent and resentment were as tangible as a physical force, impacting Chen Fei's mind and attempting to trigger the fear and weaknesses within him.
Pure power, extreme speed, and the berserk demonic energy of the peak Tai Cang Realm—this axe strike was the most powerful attack Wei Yelan could deliver at this moment.
Faced with Wei Yelan's all-out, world-destroying axe blow, Chen Fei's expression remained as calm as a deep pool.
Chen Fei's body surface, which contained multiple rules and concepts, instantly contracted, as if he had abandoned all defenses.
But in the next instant, Wei Yelan's pupils, burning with madness and killing intent, suddenly contracted to their limit, and a chill even more real than when his left arm was shattered instantly spread throughout his body.
Because, at the moment the Dao Domain receded, an even more domineering and soul-chilling aura suddenly erupted from Chen Fei's body.
"Buzz!"
A deep hum, seemingly emanating from the depths of chaos, resounded from within Chen Fei's body.
His body didn't swell and grow larger like Wei Yelan's, but his presence instantly increased countless times. It was as if the person standing there wasn't a person, but an ancient god who suppressed all heavens, who had opened his eyes.
Deep within Chen Fei's eyes, a point of dark golden light shone, like the center of the universe, devouring all light and seeing through all illusions.
Devouring the Divine Body!
In Wei Yelan's eyes, his all-out attack was almost impossible to avoid or block.
But in Chen Fei's eyes, who had activated the Devouring Heaven Divine Body...
That seemingly world-destroying axe blow, its power flow path, the node where demonic energy gathers, the weak point where resentment clings, and even the subtle flaws in the demonic energy caused by Wei Yelan's forced advancement of his realm...
They are all as clear as the lines on the palm of your hand, crystal clear and easy to understand.
This axe strike, seemingly incredibly powerful, actually contains more than one point of stagnation and redundancy in the flow of power.
"There are too many flaws!"
Chen Fei raised his right palm, and the flowing dark gold runes on his palm glowed slightly.
Then, Chen Fei's right palm, with a mysterious trajectory that transcended the limitations of time and space, struck the side of the ferocious giant axe with unparalleled precision, arriving first after being struck later.
"Snapped!"
A crisp, light sound rang out, as if it had struck not the terrifying demonic weapon, but rather an old wooden plank.
However, with this seemingly casual palm strike, Wei Yelan's unstoppable axe thrust suddenly halted, and the pure black demonic flames burning on the axe instantly extinguished.
Wei Yelan felt as if the violent power he had poured into the giant axe had vanished into thin air, finding no foothold. Immediately afterward, a force that was completely beyond his control and deflected from the axe came through.
The giant axe was deflected from its original trajectory and slid to the side. Wei Yelan's demonic body also lost its balance due to the force of the deflection, and its figure staggered.
Wei Yelan's eyes were filled with incomprehensible shock. His all-out attack had been so easily deflected by the other party's palm strike.
This completely overturned his understanding!
What terrifying eyesight and what precise control of power would be required to do that?
However, Chen Fei did not give him any chance to think or adjust.
In the instant that the giant axe was struck, causing Wei Yelan to lose his balance, Chen Fei's right palm, which had been striking out, was retracted, and his five fingers clenched into a fist. In front of Wei Yelan's chest, which was wide open due to his loss of balance, the fist suddenly moved from extreme stillness to extreme motion, and struck out with a bang, aiming directly at Wei Yelan's head.
Wherever the fist passed, space was silently annihilated.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
When that dark golden fist, seemingly capable of shattering stars, rapidly magnified in Wei Yelan's extremely shocked pupils, he barely managed to recover from his shock.
But it was too late!
The fist was already upon him, and the terrifying shadow of death, like the coldest current, instantly swept over Wei Yelan's mind.
There was no time to make any effective defense or use any life-saving techniques. The only thing he could do was to raise his remaining right arm in an almost twisted position to block.
Wei Yelan didn't even have time to infuse more demonic energy into his right arm; he could only rely on the dark red bone armor on his arm, which had been tempered by demonic transformation, to withstand the fatal punch.
"boom!"
Chen Fei's fist, which seemed capable of shattering the heavens and earth, struck Wei Yelan's right arm, which he hastily raised to block in front of his head.
"Crack!"
The first thing to shatter was the dark red bone armor on Wei Yelan's arm. With the bone armor broken, the fist slammed into Wei Yelan's bulging, demonized muscles and bones without any obstruction.
"puff!"
There was no stalemate, no resistance, only a devastating collapse.
Under Chen Fei's fist, Wei Yelan's arm exploded like mud, and demonic blood, exuding a strong stench and corrosive aura, mixed with broken bones and minced flesh, scattered everywhere.
After shattering Wei Yelan's right arm, Chen Fei's fist continued its momentum. Under the gaze of Wei Yelan, whose pupils were wide open to the limit due to excruciating pain and extreme fear, the fist, which seemed to contain the power to split the heavens and the earth, was slammed into the center of his head.
"boom!"
A deafening, muffled roar suddenly erupted in the ravaged hall. (End of Chapter)
