Chapter 1182: Your Combo Move Is Quite Good!

At this moment, on the Altar.

A profound silence reigned!

Everyone's gaze was fixed firmly on Xu Que's upper body, locked onto those two brilliant golden characters!

Saint Body!

These two crooked characters were written on his chest, looking as if a child had scribbled them randomly; they possessed no imposing manner whatsoever, and even exuded a slightly comical, silly vibe!

As the crowd snapped out of their stupor, they all shook their heads speechlessly.

The Heavenly Prides and Guardians from the several major Factions all twitched at the corners of their mouths!

Although talented individuals emerge in every generation, each leading the trends for hundreds of years, this was truly the first time anyone had seen an elder of such age acting so flamboyantly; moreover, he felt no shame, actually writing the two characters "Saint Body" on his chest and proudly exposing them for everyone to see!

Look at your sister!

What is a Saint Body?

It was merely a speculation passed down since ancient times; no one had ever truly achieved it!

Even someone as powerful as the Underworld King, a terrifying existence among Divine Spirits, exhausted his entire life only to create the Overlord Body, which could rival the Heaven's Chosen Divine Body.

The Overlord Body and the Divine Body were also hailed as the most powerful constitutions of the Divine Spirit Era, even considered the only two peak constitutions throughout the entire cultivation history; yet since their inheritance until now, those two constitutions had never been seen again.

The Overlord Body has been lost!

The Beast Bloodline inheritance of the Divine Body is no longer pure, evolving into pseudo-Divine Bodies like the Dao Fetus Divine Body, yet they remain powerful!

And now, this old man actually dares to claim he is a Saint Body; isn't that an enormous joke?

A constitution that even the Underworld King and possessors of the Divine Body believed could exist but deemed impossible to achieve, how could it possibly appear in this era?

"This... this Xu Que's father is truly quite interesting!" Ji Wu Yun looked toward Bai Cailing, displaying an awkward yet polite smile.

Bai Cailing also forced a dry laugh helplessly, at a loss for words.

Naturally, they did not believe Xu Que possessed the Overlord Body; they thought this "old man" was joking with them, or perhaps finding a roundabout way to humiliate Yi Zhong!

After all, this situation was very embarrassing.

First, the most unprofessional aspect was writing the two characters "Saint Body" on one's chest; next, these two characters were written so uglily that they held no credibility whatsoever—whoever believed them would truly be a fool.

"Pfft!"

A Female Disciple from Yaochi couldn't hold back and covered her small mouth as she laughed out loud.

The person beside her hurriedly pushed her, scolding in Anger: "Stop messing around; Elder Xu is one of our people, how can you mock him?"

"It's not that!" That Female Disciple couldn't contain her amusement, her beautiful eyes sparkling: "I just find this Grandpa Xu too interesting; one could say he's 'cute's mother opening the door for cute'!"

"Uh? 'Cute's mother opening the door for cute,' what does that mean?"

"It means 'cute has arrived home'!"

In an instant, Xu Que inadvertently gained another image among a portion of the Yaochi Female Disciples—Cute Grandpa Xu!

However, while the atmosphere throughout the arena was made somewhat relaxed by Xu Que's antics, there was solely one person who seemed utterly out of place, appearing increasingly furious.

Yi Zhong was nearly so enraged he was spitting blood!

He never expected that after this old man tore his clothes apart, the two characters "Saint Body" would be written on his chest; combined with the scene just now where he was Shocked and sent flying, it was simply a tremendous insult!

"You... you... good, very good! I, Yi Zhong, hereby swear: if I do not kill you today, I vow never to enter the Golden Immortal Realm!" Yi Zhong laughed in extreme rage, shouting in a deep voice; he actually made a vow, staking his future on it!

The many Heavenly Prides and Guardians present all underwent drastic changes in expression!

"Has this lad Yi Zhong gone mad?" a Heavenly Pride from Fangcun Immortal Sect in Tong Xianyu exclaimed in horror.

This vow was truly too heavy; Yi Zhong said that if he did not kill this old man today, he vowed never to enter the Golden Immortal Realm, meaning that even if he killed this old man tomorrow, Yi Zhong would be unable to step into the Golden Immortal Realm for the rest of his life!

For a Heavenly Pride, this was an extremely toxic vow, but it simultaneously proved his determination to definitely kill this old man today!

"It seems it is about to end!" Ji Wu Yun silently shook his head, speaking to himself in his heart; he did not believe there would be any reversal in this battle situation!

A Heavenly Pride, a candidate for Divine Son, would never treat a vow as a joke without absolute certainty!

"Boom!"

At the same time, Yi Zhong waved his palm, sweeping out a powerful surge of Blazing Flames that enveloped his entire body!

He was burning the fresh blood within his body to release True Fire; this was a life-risking Secret Technique that harmed the enemy by a thousand while damaging oneself by eight hundred!

Once fresh blood was burned and turned into True Fire, the Life Span within the body would continuously drain; but once an opponent touched this True Fire, the blood within their body would also begin to burn, and if they were not skilled in such Secret Techniques, they would be burned until their blood dried up completely!

And this, however, was merely Yi Zhong's first preparation before the fight!

He swung the Black Halberd in his hand; the halberd shaft was instantly engulfed by True Fire, and as a Half-Grade Immortal Artifact level existence, it immediately caused the Void surrounding the halberd to begin twisting.

Bang!

Almost simultaneously, Yi Zhong stepped into the air, triggering a sound of breaking the sky, surpassing the sound barrier, and appearing before Xu Que in the blink of an eye with terrifying speed.

"Oh no, this lad has no suppression of realms and has directly utilized his true cultivation: Early Stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm!" a Guardian from Yaochi's face changed, shouting in alarm.

She was reminding Bai Cailing whether it was time to step in and offer assistance.

After all, Yi Zhong had already broken his word; this battle could not continue, otherwise, if anything happened to this Elder Xu, Pantao Garden would lose its chance of revival!

However, the moment this Guardian spoke, Bai Cailing had already made her move.

She took a step forward, chasing after.

But Yi Zhong seemed to have anticipated this; his speed had already broken through to the limit, and even in the state of burning fresh blood to summon True Fire, he charged crazily toward Xu Que as if teleporting!

No matter how fast Bai Cailing was, she could not catch up in time to stop it; she could only watch helplessly as Yi Zhong appeared before Xu Que, the Black Halberd in his hand carrying terrifying True Fire, pouring down with the force of a thousand jun, slashing fiercely toward the top of Xu Que's head!

"Stop!"

Boom-rumble!

Bai Cailing shouted in alarm, but Yi Zhong's Black Halberd still landed on Xu Que's head; the violent strike crashing down triggered a huge roar, and the Void rippled outward in a circle!

Everyone in the entire arena held their breath, their gazes fixed firmly on the figures of Xu Que and Yi Zhong!

This time, they believed that even if Xu Que's Flesh Body was incredibly strong, he would likely be burned alive into ash by the True Fire if he didn't die outright!

After all, this time Yi Zhong had unleashed his true cultivation: Early Stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm!

A Half-Immortal Realm facing an Early Stage Heavenly Immortal? Even if this were truly a Saint Body, survival would be impossible!

"Boom!"

At that moment, a second tremendous roar erupted once again in the Arena!

Everyone was jolted awake, their pupils contracting sharply, before they stared dumbfounded once more, completely stunned.

Yi Zhong was actually blasted flying out yet again; his entire arm was riddled with dense, crisscrossing wounds, a trickle of fresh blood spilling from his mouth as he crashed heavily to the ground, his whole body trembling.

In contrast, Xu Que still stood solemnly in place, unscathed, a faint chill circulating around his body; the true fire simply could not ignite his form!

Clap, clap, clap!

At this, Xu Que clapped his hands, his deep eyes falling upon Yi Zhong as he nodded in praise: "Not bad. That combo you just used must be the legendary 'Flash Intimidation, Ignite Warning,' right? You've improved!"

Saying this, he paused and shook his head: "What a pity! You're still too weak, and quite foolish as well. I already openly told you I possess a Saint Body, so how did you still dare to engage me in close combat?"

The moment his words fell!

Boom!

Lightning interwove beneath Xu Que's feet, brilliant and blazing, as he stepped into the void, transforming into a phantom image; like a Sword Light from beyond the heavens flashing past, he surged forward with overwhelming Killing Intent, blasting toward Yi Zhong!
