Chapter 484: Tyrant Body

"Xilian has forgotten the pain once the wound healed; he actually thinks his Zone is stronger than Second Brother's. In terms of intensity, he ranks second at best." Chao Qinglong was caught between laughter and tears; when he had intended to use Zone intensity to suppress him, he was taught a lesson in return.

"The intensity of the two is actually not much different, it's just that Xilian can only achieve area-of-effect strikes when controlling this level of power, which counts as second to none, while Li Ge can concentrate such intense power into a single point. His control over this power is on a higher level." Maxis was beyond shocked; it was the same power level, but Li Hao's proficiency in control was at least three years ahead.

Maxis saw it more clearly; the so-called coverage was only localized. This kind of understanding was the most terrifying part.

"It's not that Xilian hasn't mastered it, it's just that the more localized the usage, the greater the backlash on the body. Releasing it directly, on the other hand, reduces the burden. Could it be that they have already entered the next stage?" Basta suddenly said.

Chao Qinglong and Maxis exchanged a glance. Flowing Heart Martial Arts was a requirement for the Golden Zone, but they had already discovered that the limitation on power was not the Golden Zone; after the appearance of the K23 God Element, it wasn't even the Mecha, but the fragile human body itself.

After genetic technology matured, humans achieved a leap forward, but now they had encountered a bottleneck once again.

And from the level of control of these two, and their relaxed appearance, it clearly didn't look like they were suffering from backlash. There was only one possibility: they had already solved this problem.

"Tyrant Body!"

"Tyrant Body!"

"It's the Tyrant Body!"

"Damn it, two total freaks!"

A possibility known only to the top-tier Warriors: a state that allows humans to fully master Flowing Heart Martial Arts and do whatever they want—the Tyrant Body.

It was just that no one knew how to achieve it yet. Xilian had done it, possessing N possibilities, further deep genetic modification, or some other technology. After all, the resources and technology mastered by the Meraphis Family were top-tier to begin with, so its appearance was within the acceptable range. Everyone even believed that Xilian should be that breakthrough pioneer.

But how did Li Hao achieve it?

He was just slacking off at Tianjing Martial Arts, delivering takeout, and he reached the Tyrant Body?

"Li Ge is simply insane and inhuman. If I were Xilian, I wouldn't want to live!"

"How could he possibly do it?"

"As expected of you, it was worth waiting five years for you!"

On the battlefield, the two were still in a standoff. In this situation, Xilian couldn't help but laugh happily.

His Tyrant Body was the only successful case achieved after countless experiments and the expenditure of tens of billions in funds, using active K23 Element extracted from Giant Insects by the Meraphis Family. This allowed him to use the Golden Zone as he pleased, without suffering from backlash or internal depletion during the process, allowing him to unleash it to his heart's content.

When his body was at its limit of transformation, it was his will—a firm will to survive and a will for revenge—that allowed him to survive, master the power, and achieve the first Tyrant Body in human history. It was an epoch-making symbol, and this was also what he was prepared to show the world after winning the championship: a new era for humanity.

What he worried about was that Li Hao wouldn't be able to enter the Tyrant Body, then he would have waited in vain for so long. Eliminating Li Hao and resolving his inner knot was the perfection he pursued, and then he could enter the next stage.

One characteristic of the Tyrant Body is that it can constantly adapt to pressure, allowing one's body to keep up with changes in oneself and the outside world.

The Thunder Fire Mecha slowly straightened its body. With the surging Purple Gold Dynasty, Xilian raised his arrogant head once again. The Mecha hovered; Li Hao's pressure was no longer useful. His Golden Zone was endless, and his flesh was indestructible.

The Thunder Fire Mecha raised its left hand, and a small golden sun formed in the air. The scabbard of the Blood Moon, which had shattered at some unknown time, had already been drawn toward the Thunder Fire Mecha and was now completely melted. Under the Purple Gold Dynasty, everything was under control.

"Go!"

The small golden sun pressed toward the Black Night Mecha. Just at this moment, the third wave of the insect swarm appeared, yet the moment it appeared, it began to melt. Countless Giant Insects struggled and rolled in distortion, eventually turning into wisps of white smoke, while the small sun slowly pressed toward the Black Night Saber.

"Li Hao, you are only one person after all!"

And he, he was the collection of humanity's top wisdom. How could he lose? How could it be possible to lose!

This small sun that could melt everything was pressing toward the Black Night Mecha, and at this moment, the Black Night Mecha had formed a positional attraction and could not move. Moreover, it was meaningless; step by step, the mutual suppression of the two sides—how could Xilian let Li Hao break free?

Everyone held their breath, waiting for Li Hao's counterattack. However, the Black Night Mecha did not move. As the small sun approached, the surroundings of the Black Night Mecha began to char, and at the same time, the immense pressure began to distort Space.

It was just an illusion for a split second; the small sun poured into the Black Night Mecha and completely enveloped it. The golden energy suddenly burst into a brilliant light.

Countless Moon People clenched their fists, waiting for the moment of destruction. Destroy him, destroy him, des...

Hum~~~~

The second after the energy bloomed, it suddenly contracted, completely collapsing and disappearing into the body of the Black Night Mecha. It seemed as if everything had calmed down. Immediately following, the left hand of the Black Night Mecha pulled, and the Blood Moon in the right hand suddenly swept out; a Dimensional Slash struck toward the Thunder Fire Mecha.

With almost no hesitation, the Thunder Fire Mecha began to flicker. This was an absolute Space Ability: PositioningTeleportation.

However, this time the Thunder Fire Mecha swayed a few times but did not materialize, and the Dimensional Slash had already arrived.

The K23 Titanium Shield was erected, and the offensive and defensive Purple Gold Dynasty enveloped the Thunder Fire Mecha.

Boom...

With a deafening loud noise, the Titanium Shield exploded into pieces, and the Thunder Fire Mecha went tumbling away.

From the start of the battle until now, this was the first time Xilian had lost his defense.

The Galaxy Center was deathly silent; one could hear a pin drop.

"It's started, it's started again." Laika muttered to himself; it was the same back then.

"Can Xilian hold on?"

"I just felt something was wrong somewhere. He had the absolute advantage, but he couldn't suppress Li Mo at all, and Xilian's ability was quickly mastered by Li Mo."

"Those two are also evenly matched." Dita couldn't help but say sourly. It seemed Zhou Naiyi had something going on with Li Hao. If Li Hao's ability was copying, then the ability level depended on the Golden Zone; Xilian was not weak at all.

"The problem is, we always thought that way in the past." Zhu Hongye said with a bitter smile.

"Yes, after getting beaten up enough, you start to doubt yourself."

"And then?"

The crowd fell into a silence. And then, and then there was nothing left.

Compared to the gloom of the Shadow Scout, the Hunter side suddenly had confidence again.

"How come I suddenly feel a bit of hope again?" Depuya bared his teeth. Hopefully, he wasn't just talking about this match, but the team battle.

"How did Second Brother grow over these five years? This energy conversion technique is exactly the same as Xilian's!"

"It's hard to say, very difficult. At the moment, the two are actually not much different, and their power has already exceeded the limit. If they continue to confront each other like this, both of their Mechas won't be able to hold up. If the Mechas are destroyed, it's a draw... Oh no." Yintai Dumeila suddenly changed his expression.

Why must one win?

As long as Xilian keeps finding Li Hao to confront him in this match, and the two exhaust themselves to the limit, making it impossible for the Golden Zone to provide sufficient protection for the Mecha, the destruction of the Mecha is inevitable.

At this moment, the expressions of Chao Qinglong and the others finally changed as well. They had all forgotten this point. This was no longer a battle of pilots; the essence was the battle of the Mechas, and also the interpretation of the S Tournament rules, not an unrestricted Apocalypse duel.

In fact, many people had already realized this point; the advantage of the Hailong Team was greater than the heavens.

Zing...

The Thunder Fire Mecha that had been knocked away returned to the battlefield, its entire body burning with thick purple-gold flames. The slightly disheveled Xilian was still not angry; instead, his eyes were even more spirited.

"Tsk tsk, truly not bad. Is your ability replication? I have always been quite curious. You can even learn my energy conversion to look the part, but Li Hao," Xilian laughed, and the Thunder Fire Zeus pointed to its head, "there are some things you cannot replicate. You will forever only be able to follow in my footsteps, and never surpass me!"

The Thunder Fire Zeus assumed an offensive stance, its Genesis Soul Core burning continuously, increasing its Zone Value to an almost unbelievable degree; at the same time, Xilian's pupils underwent a change.

——Star-Strange Dual Pupils!

In an instant, his hair also turned a brilliant purple-gold, and at the same time, it grew visibly longer, while his body was gradually covered in purple-gold patterns. At this moment, the purple-gold sun began to transform toward a milky-white direction, and the energy became increasingly powerful. Under this intensity of Zone Value, Xilian's body still showed no signs of strain.

This is one hundred percent ruling-class power.

This is the Tyrant Body!

On the other side, the Black Night Mobile Suit showed no visible changes, its center of gravity lowered, and in this instant, one side of the Black Night Mobile Suit plunged completely into darkness.

Half eternal night, half extreme day.

The Blood Moon had already returned to its sheath, and the moment the Mecha sank, the world sank along with it, trembling.

The Thunder Fire Zeus gripped the Thunder Blade with both hands, flipped it, and pulled it up; this world already belonged to him.

Ultimate Strike.

"Excellent, the Sea King has made the most correct judgment! Ladies and gentlemen, the championship point has arrived. As long as the Sun God lands his strongest strike and destroys the opponent's Mecha, no matter what the Puppet's attack is, in the collision between the two, there will be no intact egg left. A draw is enough to win the championship!" Huonan waved his fists.

As Huonan pointed out the key, the hearts of all Tianjing Martial Arts and Puppet supporters sank instantly. This had happened more than once during this S Tournament; the Mecha could not withstand the power amplification brought by K23. The new type of Mecha introduced by Meraphis before the tournament was meant to solve this problem, but it was ultimately not adopted due to "immature technology" and other reasons, yet now it had become the key factor for Xilian to win the championship. Who could one blame?

Hum~~~

Boundless darkness condensed onto the Blood Moon in an instant, while light was simultaneously absorbed and merged onto the Thunder Fire. The weapons of both Mecha radiated an eerie glow, making the surroundings instantly appear out of place, transcending the visual reality that three-dimensional space should possess.

Boom boom...

The two Mobile Suits crossed Space Ability and arrived at mid-field in an instant. The Blood Moon unsheathed and slashed horizontally, while the Thunder Blade chopped down with the force of ten thousand jun.

The two forces were on the verge of colliding when suddenly, time seemed to stop. Following that, everything around them began to blur; the Mecha disappeared, and everything vanished.

In the blink of an eye, on a blank battlefield, only Li Hao remained, and... Xilian not far away.
