Chapter 973: Is It Hard? (Request Monthly Votes)

“Puff~”

Yi Ang felt a terrifying force surge through the sword in his hand, the surrounding space shattering as a powerful cutting force erupted from within.

Simultaneously, his body was struck by a crushing impact, waves of excruciating pain surging through his chest.

His body was instantly flung backward.

In this single collision, most of his muscles tore apart, and his internal organs suffered severe damage.

Yet at the same time, vast amounts of power surged from his Source Core World, and his injured areas began healing rapidly.

He frowned tightly—his physical constitution, though decent, was his greatest weakness.

Compared to Long Xuming of the Dragon Clan and Xuan Ge of the Heavenly God Clan, his bodily strength was clearly far weaker.

But after this awakening, his physical strength had also increased dramatically.

He had personally cultivated secret techniques to enhance his physical attributes.

Now it was clear he had made the right choice: though he had suffered heavy damage, he had not only withstood it, but was recovering at a visibly rapid pace.

“Shiiii!!”

At the same time, Lin Qi swung his Golden Thunder Great Spear; the heavy spear shaft generated violent gales with every swing.

Coupled with his own immense power,

it erupted like a storm of lightning, pressing the advantage as he unleashed the Great Universe Rending Spear Scripture from his hands.

“Clang! Clang! Clang!!”

Both sides began fierce direct confrontation.

Both were legendary geniuses, their Source Core Worlds brimming with vast Source Energy and World Power.

Now, in close combat, Source Energy continuously erupted and spilled forth.

“Boom! Boom!!”

They swung their weapons, channeling power through their entire bodies, concentrating it before unleashing it in an exceptionally violent explosion.

The secret techniques summoned the power of laws, fusing them into techniques meant to obliterate the opponent.

At the center of collision, a deafening roar formed.

Endless powerful shockwaves spread outward.

The law runes emerged; their divine force converged and exploded like flowing water.

Secret runes appeared on their weapons, true meanings swirling as their powers clashed violently.

Lin Qi unleashed the Great Universe Rending Spear Scripture.

He transformed his understanding of the Folding True Meaning into spear techniques.

Its power grew stronger with every strike.

The lethality of each technique became increasingly astonishing.

He unleashed a continuous barrage of attacks—each spear thrust inflicted severe damage upon Yi Ang’s body.

“Boom!!”

Finally, Lin Qi’s Golden Thunder Great Spear descended like splitting heaven and earth, with a thunderous crash.

Heavy, violent power surged through the battle sword and slammed into Yi Ang’s silver battle sword.

“Bang!!”

Then space tore open; his body became a cannonball, blasted deep into the earth.

“Boom! Boom!!”

The earth erupted in massive dust clouds, endless tornadoes shredded by energy winds.

It was as if an invisible, boundless pair of hands pressed down upon the land.

The earth shattered; spiderweb-like cracks spread outward.

Cracks extended for kilometers; the area where Yi Ang struck the ground saw shockwaves flatten surrounding rocks.

In the span of a breath, a massive deep crater had formed.

There, embedded within it, was Yi Ang, clad in his silver battle armor.

“Puff~”

His throat convulsed as he spat out a torrent of blood; his internal organs were severely damaged.

He felt cracks forming in his bones; several ribs had already broken.

With his current combat strength, he suffered such devastation—only because Lin Qi’s power was simply too overwhelming.

His immense power, combined with the fusion of three types of divine force, delivered unparalleled lethality.

He looked down at his silver battle armor, now clearly covered in numerous cracks.

A few more strikes, and his armor would be utterly destroyed.

“Incredible!!”

Yi Ang had to admit—Lin Qi was truly formidable now.

He was completely dominated.

Defeating his opponent would not be easy.

“Shiiii! Shiiii! Shiiii!!”

Then he felt a piercing sharpness—he looked up from the crater to see countless purple-gold spiral spear-like divine forces aimed directly at him, firing instantly.

“Shii!”

He immediately used teleportation, vanishing from his spot once more—this time targeting Lin Qi’s back.

“Hum!”

The instant he reappeared, he vanished again, teleporting once more.

Teleport, then teleport again.

Only someone with his physique could possess such ability.

Lin Qi, preparing to thrust his great spear, paused in surprise—so that was another trick.

The next second, Yi Ang reappeared behind him; runes of wind and space law glowed upon his silver battle sword.

“Ssssh!!”

The silver blade slashed out violently, unleashing a deadly technique meant to deliver a fatal blow to Lin Qi.

“Clang! Clang! Clang!!”

The two resumed direct combat.

Both were legendary geniuses—immense combat strength, extraordinary physiques, injuries healed within moments.

They were called legendary geniuses because the intensity of their awakened abilities reached a threshold, triggering a qualitative transformation.

“Bang! Bang!!”

Both unleashed their full power.

Especially teleportation—they used it frantically, darting across the entire planet.

Simultaneously, they employed their body techniques’ illusionary forms; combined with space law, these illusions created immense confusion for their opponent.

“Bang! Bang!!”

The earth cracked open; from afar, the planet’s surface looked like countless circles and countless cracks—as if drawn by a child’s doodles.

All caused by the two of them.

The craters grew larger—hundreds of meters, even a kilometer deep.

Yet during the battle, Lin Qi did not rush to end it.

His strength continued to rise.

Through constant combat, he transformed his understanding of the Folding True Meaning into spear techniques and body movements.

In clashes and collisions, he evolved rapidly.

Far faster than his own cultivation.

Moreover, he had not fought anyone in a long time—especially not an opponent like Yi Ang, a legendary genius.

The opponent’s mastery of space law still held valuable lessons.

Their battle lasted for hours; the entire planet trembled as if about to split apart.

“Boom!!”

With a deafening roar, Yi Ang was blasted once more into the planet’s crust, blood spraying through the air.

Yi Ang, embedded deep in the earth, tore himself free—his entire form was horrific; his silver battle armor had shattered completely, reduced to fragments.

His body was drowned in blood, flowing through the rocks.

He was nearly reduced to a pile of mush.

He tried to rise into the air.

But the surrounding space instantly froze—he could not move.

“Hummm!!”

At the same time, the sky was engulfed in blinding purple-gold light; within it, Lin Qi swung his Golden Thunder Great Spear, transforming it into a purple-gold spearhead that pierced through space and plunged downward.

The spear tip of the Golden Thunder Great Spear, swirling with thirteen true meanings, pierced straight through his body.

“Puff~”

It sliced Yi Ang’s flesh and blood into fragments.

Moments later, all his flesh and blood vanished from the spot.
