Chapter 199: Combat Power Fully Unleashed

On the Primordial Star, a terrifying aura that could destroy heaven and earth erupted with a boom!

"Third junior brother, today I will, on behalf of the teacher, give you a small punishment so you understand what discipline is!"

Yan Di transmitted his voice, low shouting, and the Yan Shen Halberd in his hand began to emit astonishing divine light.

The Yan Shen Halberd thrust straight, and in an instant a blood‑colored linear streak of light appeared throughout the space of the Primordial Star.

Only one word—Fast!

Heh!

Where the blood‑colored light passed, even the domain golden light of Tian Chen Zhi Zhu was forced to yield, creating a distinct Void zone that seemed to break the limits of space and time and appeared instantly in front of Zhou Yang! In the palm covered by a dark‑gold gauntlet, Chaos Airflow surged, the palm swept outward and collided directly with that blood‑colored light! "Bang!"

The blood‑colored light shattered in Zhou Yang's palm, releasing an extremely sharp, fierce force between his hand and fingers, yet it was easily eroded by successive streams of Chaos Airflow.

However, such a delay inevitably slowed Zhou Yang's speed.

He looked at the bald, single‑horned man wielding a dark‑gold divine halberd, and his gaze grew increasingly cold.

Yan Di, as the leader of the Yan Shen Clan line that the Mountain‑Dweller had devotedly cultivated in the early Original Universe, possesses a powerful divine body and is extremely skilled in close‑quarters combat.

Moreover, he wields the Yan Shen Halberd and the Primordial Soul, two powerful Peak Supreme Treasures prepared by the Mountain‑Dweller, making his strength among the Universe Masters of the Original Universe truly formidable! After all, the vast majority of Universe Masters possess no Peak Supreme Treasure; Yan Di not only has two, and both are top‑grade among Peak Supreme Treasures.

Adding the Peak Supreme Treasure "Tribulation Armor" that he constantly occupies, the number of exquisite Supreme Treasures he alone possesses rivals that of several Top‑tier Universe Lords! Such powerful treasures directly elevate his combat power by a tier! He, among all Three‑step Universe Lords in the entire Original Universe, is almost invincible; even when facing an average Four‑step "Top‑tier Universe Lord", he still has a fighting chance! Great power naturally breeds inevitable pride and greed, and Yan Di is a vivid example! He attacked his own clan to seize treasures, betrayed his clan and constantly opposed the Human Race, and even harbored resentment toward the Mountain‑Dweller who had always cultivated and helped him, believing the Mountain‑Dweller favored the Earth Lineage and spent many resources that should have been his on nurturing the Earth Lineage.

It can be said that he is a thoroughly selfish scoundrel—a white‑eyed wolf that can never be tamed! Originally Zhou Yang disliked Yan Di, but out of respect for the Mountain‑Dweller he would not deliberately target him.

Yet Yan Di, accustomed to arrogance, directly struck at himself, leaving nothing more to say! "Yan Di, wielding Peak Supreme Treasures yet possessing such feeble attack power, you are truly useless!"

Zhou Yang mocked without mercy.

At the same time, over 80% of the divine power within his true body, whose size exceeds ninety‑thousand kilometers, ignited instantly, and a dark, chilling Light of Annihilation gathered at his fingertips.

"Heh~"

The black ghostly light flashed and appeared almost instantly before Yan Di! If Yan Di's previous strike was already extremely fast, this black ghostly light was even faster, appearing almost as if teleporting, making it hard for ordinary Universe Masters to react effectively.

Nevertheless, Yan Di, worthy of being the Mountain‑Dweller's early‑stage cultivated Yan Shen Clan leader, has keen battle instincts! Sensing a clear threat from the incoming black ghostly light, his combat instinct made him swing the Yan Shen Halberd without hesitation to block.

"Heh heh heh~"

The Light of Annihilation, as fast as lightning, first collided with the Yan Shen Halberd; after being weakened by the halberd, the black ghostly light shrank by about one‑third and then slammed into Yan Di's silver battle armor.

At this moment, the Tribulation Armor Yan Di wore was originally a highly powerful Peak Supreme Treasure prepared by the Mountain‑Dweller for the Earth Lineage leader; when fully activated, it can reduce all attacks to one‑hundred‑thousandth and has an extremely high damage‑absorption limit.

The otherwise unstoppable Light of Annihilation could not surpass the Tribulation Armor's absorption limit; after being reduced ten‑thousand‑fold by the armor, the remaining power was very limited, ultimately causing only about five‑thousandths of a percent loss of Yan Di's divine power.

"Hehe, Third junior brother, that strike's power is not small."

Yan Di's gloomy laugh echoed in Zhou Yang's mind, "The battle armor on you is nice, probably a Peak Supreme Treasure prepared by the teacher, but unfortunately your divine power level seems a bit weak, limiting its effectiveness."

Yan Di transmitted his voice while rapidly closing in on Zhou Yang.

With the assistance of a Top‑tier Domain-type Supreme Treasure of Tian Chen Zhi Zhu, Zhou Yang's speed was limited, yet his speed kept rising, and the distance between the two rapidly narrowed.

And Yan Di, whose specialty is close‑quarters combat! At this moment, the New Universe Origin Force surged into Zhou Yang, and his divine body's aura had recovered to its peak.

He looked at the approaching Yan Di, and his eyebrows involuntarily twitched slightly.

The opponent's Tribulation Armor made him quite a nuisance.

Even the previously unstoppable Light of Annihilation could not break through the Tribulation Armor's absorption limit.

After being reduced ten‑thousand‑fold by the Tribulation Armor, the Light of Annihilation's power could no longer cause significant damage to Yan Di.

"What a fine treasure."

Zhou Yang couldn't help but sigh silently; such powerful treasure power explains why Yan Di was reluctant to return the Tribulation Armor to Luo Feng. "Ha ha……"

Yan Di's steps were slow, yet his true speed was extremely fast.

With the aid of Tian Chen Zhi Zhu's domain power, at this moment his distance from Zhou Yang had already crossed a boundary! "Ha ha, Third junior brother, rest assured, senior brother is only giving you a small punishment, nothing too excessive."

Yan Di leapt across endless space‑time, arrived beside Zhou Yang, and the massive Yan Shen Halberd in his hand swung instantly, as if the entire Universe's power gathered on the halberd's blade, and he slammed it fiercely at Zhou Yang—an absolutely massive strike!

The previous move was fast, this move was heavy.

It was as if a universe fell; Yan Di said he wouldn't go too far, yet he directly employed his Universe Master's Strongest Secret Method! "Hmph!"

Zhou Yang snorted coldly, his robust divine power blazing, countless Law Threads on the Reincarnation Divine Armor lit up, and dozens of dark‑gold scales on the armor's chest, shoulders, and arms emitted dazzling light.

Since the Primordial Star opened nearly a hundred years ago, he naturally did not merely wander aimlessly; during this period he also acquired many Peak Treasures and Ordinary Supreme Treasures.

Apart from a few rarer items, the rest he exchanged entirely for the Universe Venerables of the Human Race, obtaining many materials to improve the Reincarnation Divine Armor.

With the Primordial Star opened, those Universe Venerables of the Human Race reaped many gains and were naturally willing to trade unused materials for suitable Peak Treasures or Supreme Treasures.

Over nearly a hundred years, Zhou Yang has supplemented more than seventy of the missing 10,081 scales of the Reincarnation Divine Armor, giving the armor's power a notable boost.

"Buzz~"

Over seventy dark‑gold scales glittered brilliantly, each mysterious sigil appearing on the golden scales, seemingly forming a subtle connection with the source of the Law.

Endless Law power gathered along the sigils of the Reincarnation Divine Armor and then continuously poured into Zhou Yang's both hands.

Dense Chaos Airflow spread continuously, as if a Chaos world opened between Zhou Yang's palms, ancient and powerful aura emanating endlessly!

This is the limit Zhou Yang can now unleash, the pinnacle strike under the dual enhancement of the Reincarnation Divine Armor and Fusion Law! "Chaos Hole—Massacre!"

"Boom!"

The immensely heavy strike of the Yan Shen Halberd collided with the Chaos‑filled dark‑gold palm! It was as if heaven and earth shattered, a terrifyingly massive impact erupted at the center of the two, instantly sweeping all directions.

Even the incredibly stable space‑time of the Primordial Star trembled, and Tian Chen Zhi Zhu's domain golden light surged wildly outward.

"Swish!"

After a moment of stalemate, Yan Di's figure retreated, widening the distance from Zhou Yang.

At this moment, his complexion turned somewhat unpleasant.

That strike just now was already the strongest he could currently unleash.

Yet, after enduring his peak strike, the third junior brother's aura showed no sign of decline.

In other words, his strike didn't even break the defense?

"Hmph humph, a waste is a waste; after endless years of cultivation, holding several Peak Supreme Treasures, yet only this level of skill."

Zhou Yang's voice rang out above the Primordial Star, and at the same time, silhouettes of Doppelgangers holding different weapons began to appear around him.

"Five. Ten, twenty, fifty."

Almost in the blink of an eye, nearly a hundred silhouettes of Zhou Yang appeared simultaneously between Heaven and Earth.

Nearly a hundred Zhou Yangs looked toward the distant Yan Di, yet they simultaneously laughed and spoke.

"Yan Di, you really are utterly useless!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The Divine Power of nearly a hundred Doppelgangers burned simultaneously, and one after another, the Light of Annihilation containing endless Annihilation power was born; the terrifying aura surged throughout Heaven and Earth.

In the distance, Yan Di, whose expression was already solemn, now completely changed his face! (End of chapter)
