Chapter 457: The Crushing Force (Requesting Monthly Votes)

"Bang!"

Genos slammed his foot onto the ground, the concrete pavement instantly shattering into sand that surged and gathered around his body.

"Hummm!!"

In a single breath, the sand condensed into a hardened stone armor, forged like tempered steel, covering every part of his body except his head.

And it did not hinder his movement.

This was Genos's special ability: 【Earth Wall】.

It allowed him to command the power of the earth, forming a stone armor with top-tier defensive capability.

Granting its user unbreakable, supreme defense.

As long as his feet touched the ground, he could continuously maintain this overwhelming defensive power.

Genos raised his massive battle axe, nearly one and a half meters long, its blade gleaming with a chilling sheen in the sunlight.

"Bang!"

He stomped the ground and shot forward like a lion.

"Boom!!"

He charged forward with giant strides, shaking the earth; though his frame was massive, his agility defied his size.

There was none of Mao Xiong's Victor's heaviness.

"Huu~"

His body trembled, and a torrent of force burst forth like a waterfall, coalescing into a dark axe blade on the battle axe.

"Huu!!"

The massive battle axe slashed through the air with a deafening whistle.

Genos's axe technique was brutal and overwhelming, relying purely on force—he sneered:

"Let me show you what true power means!"

Terrifying power surged into the axe, stirring up gales, and an image of the earth cracking open materialized.

This was the secret scripture Genos cultivated: 【Earth-Shattering Axe Art】.

"Swoosh!"

Facing the crushing pressure, Lin Qi moved—his body trembled, every muscle firing at once, force erupting like a cascading waterfall.

It merged with the golden sharpness and flowed into the black great spear in his hand.

"Zzzz!!"

The spear resonated as it absorbed Jin Feng's power.

Lin Qi flicked his spear, golden spear tips coalescing and radiating, the tip spitting golden sharpness like a golden dragon.

He unleashed 【Mountain Shanhe Qiang Fa Art】, lifting his great spear—its impact felt like mountains collapsing and earth splitting.

"Bang!"

With every step he took, deep footprints sank into the concrete.

In their aura clash, both sides implicitly chose to meet force with force.

At the center of the arena, axe and spear clashed—one slashed, one thrust—with violent impact.

"Bang!!"

With a thunderous roar, the air exploded, waves of shock radiating outward from the two combatants.

The air trembled as if mountains were collapsing and the earth was cracking.

Lin Qi felt a terrifying force surging into his body—pure, unadulterated power.

Like a mountain filling every crevice and crashing down with unyielding weight.

The force traveled through the spear and struck him—his golden sharpness nearly lost control in an instant.

This power is no joke!

Lin Qi felt his arms go numb—since breaking into the Sixth Realm, this was the first time his arms had gone numb.

His muscles and bones absorbed the blow without breaking.

Any other opponent would have had their muscles torn, their senses lost, and been blasted away by this strike alone.

Such incredible power!

Meanwhile, Genos's expression changed slightly, his facial muscles trembling.

"Crack! Crack!!"

He too felt a terrifying force traveling up the axe handle.

This force was fierce and domineering, as if tearing through everything—like an armored vehicle barreling forward.

Feeling Lin Qi's immense strength, Genos's massive frame involuntarily staggered backward.

"Bang! Bang!!"

Each step backward left deep footprints in the ground.

He retreated five steps before finally stabilizing.

Lin Qi did the same, stepping back four steps, his hair whipped wildly by the gales—they locked eyes.

Genos twisted his neck, and his violent blood qi erupted again.

Sand surged into his stone armor, making it denser and more solid, its density continuously rising.

His defense grew stronger.

This was the effect of his special ability: 【Earth Wall】.

Though his raw power was slightly inferior, his defense could keep increasing.

As long as his stone armor's defense kept rising, defeating him would grow ever harder.

Meanwhile, the exposed parts of his head also showed brown patterns—his skin was hardening too.

But the effect was weaker than his stone armor.

Genos sneered: "I was just playing with you—I didn't expect your strength to be this good."

"Now let me show you real power."

!

"Boom!!"

His knotted muscles swelled, veins bulging, his aura turning even more ferocious as all his strength gathered into the battle axe.

He gripped the axe handle tightly and charged again—each step shook the ground.

His power continued to build.

Lin Qi exhaled—heavy breath. Genos's strength was truly terrifying; for the same height and build, he was far stronger than Mao Xiong's Victor.

Looks like I can't hold back anymore—I'll use eight-tenths of my strength.

Thinking this, his aura erupted—he activated more muscles, firing them in unison.

Golden sharpness flowed along the spear tip as he stepped forward again, gripping the great spear tightly, lunging like lightning.

Jin Feng's power clung to his body, forming a golden armor.

In his golden eyes, multiple energy trails swirled through the air.

But to him, they were crystal clear—he had already spotted several weaknesses in Genos.

In a life-or-death battle, he could kill him with effortless finesse.

But this was the Global Martial Arts Championship—he preferred to crush opponents head-on.

"Boom!!"

He unleashed 【Mountain Shanhe Qiang Fa Art】 again—the majestic mountain and flowing river images materialized, reinforcing his body.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!!"

On the concrete surface, the two clashed again.

Spear and axe collided head-on—hard against hard—the concrete beneath their feet cracked continuously from the released force.

Cracks spread like spiderwebs, radiating outward.

In ten seconds, they exchanged over a dozen blows.

Their formidable defenses allowed them to attack without needing to recover.

The spectators in the stands were fired up.

"So strong! So intense!"

"Real men fight head-on!"

"This is gods battling—the ground can't even hold their power!"

"Is this Lin Qi's true strength?"

…

In the VIP seating area,

On the White Eagle Federation's side, a black man in a sleek black suit emerged, covered in thick, dense body hair.

He stood an astonishing two and a half meters tall, his frame even more massive, like a lion king of the savanna, radiating overwhelming terror.

His aura dwarfed those around him, his face lit with a confident, unrestrained grin.

Even facing the three Ninth Realm martial artists of Xia, he remained the same.

"The Mighty God has arrived!!"

"Our White Eagle Federation's Ninth Realm warrior has finally shown up."

Someone greeted him—clearly, this man was also a Ninth Realm martial artist.

And Giant Strength God is his nickname; he is one of the top Qiangzhe of the White Eagle Federation.

After he logged in, the others in the White Eagle Federation also began greeting him.
