Chapter 322: Terrifying Strike!

Countless pieces of flesh and bone fragments, mixed with resplendent profound light and Imperial Art runes, bloomed tragically in this starry sky like grand fireworks!

After exploding, they bizarrely vanished...

Scalding fresh blood dyed the cold Void red!

In an instant, the entire arena fell into Dead Silence!

All the living beings watching the battle widened their eyes and opened their mouths, frozen in place as if under a body-binding spell, their minds completely blank.

The invincible Yao, who had suppressed more than one Extreme Realm Living Being...

Could it be... just like this...

He lost?!

He perished?!

Was this world-shocking duel going to end in such an abrupt manner... just like this?!

He clearly... still had unfathomably deeper trump cards he had yet to reveal!

However, unlike the surrounding living beings plunged into shock and disbelief, Ye Wuque, having landed his strike, showed not the slightest joy on his face. His surging battle intent and boundless blood qi instead retracted and condensed to the absolute limit in an instant!

His pair of Dark Eyes, sharp as a falcon's, swept across the surrounding Void, his mind solemn and vigilant to the extreme!

He absolutely refused to believe that a Top-tier Monster whom Senior Chu had evaluated as possessing stunning talent, one of the future founders of the Glory Law, would perish so easily!

This... was absolutely impossible!

Sure enough!!!

Just as the thought flashed through Ye Wuque's mind, an extreme sense of crisis—forged through countless life-and-death battles and bordering on instinct—surged from the base of his spine to the crown of his head like a dousing of ice water!

From... behind him!

He didn't even have time to turn around, let alone make a perfect evasive move!

"Extreme defense!!"

Ye Wuque roared in his heart, driving the power of that Flesh great emperor's phantom that had not yet dissipated, along with his own Undying Indestructible Imperial Golden Body, to an unprecedented peak!

Golden light flashed explosively, terrifying power coiled around him, his entire being as if transformed into an eternal, indestructible golden divine statue!

And at the very same instant his defensive power was raised to its peak—

In the Void behind him, which had been completely empty, Yao's Dark Shadow abruptly appeared like a phantom, silently and without any warning!

He... was not dead!

Though he had been directly blasted apart by Ye Wuque's sudden terrifying strike and thoroughly gravely injured, he was indeed not dead!

His shattered form had already re-condensed!

Not only was he not dead, he had somehow vanished from the position where he had been blasted apart, perfectly evading all aura locks, as if merging into the Void itself, and appeared behind Ye Wuque where his defense was hardest to cover!

And at this moment, his right hand, fingers pressed together like a blade, gently sliced toward Ye Wuque's back.

No grand momentum, no resplendent light.

But with that slice, the Tiandao of Space within a radius of tens of millions of miles seemed to be instantly drained and condensed, transforming into a formless, quality-less yet peerless heavenly blade that radiated a terrifying will capable of severing the Zhutian and splitting yin and yang!

This Space heavenly blade moved at a speed beyond thought, its power withdrawn to the absolute limit, yet it made every hair on Ye Wuque's body stand on end!

"Chi—!"

The Space heavenly blade struck solidly upon Ye Wuque's golden back, which was condensed to the absolute limit!

"Pfft—!!!"

Ye Wuque felt as if struck by lightning. His entire body lurched violently forward, and a huge mouthful of golden blood containing fragments of Internal Organs sprayed wildly from his mouth!

He felt as if his spine was about to snap apart, his five viscera and six organs instantly underwent Displacement, and a terrifying power containing Space-severing and annihilation attributes madly invaded his body, destroying his vitality!

He... was gravely injured!

Had his reaction not been lightning-fast, raising his defense to the absolute limit, had his Flesh strength not been monstrously abnormal to a hair-raising degree, any other living being—even a same-realm Extreme Realm Dark Being—would absolutely have been instantly killed beneath this unfathomable Space heavenly blade, suffering Body and Spirit Annihilation!

Yao's Dark Shadow slowly solidified. Looking at Ye Wuque, who was merely gravely injured and vomiting blood yet still stood stubbornly upright and was rapidly circulating his profound art to repair his wounded body, for the first time, an undisguised look of astonishment appeared on his face.

"Your Flesh... is truly terrifying!" He spoke slowly, offering an evaluation sufficient to shock the world: "You are the first... living being able to survive... beneath my 'Void Burial Slash.'"

While frantically circulating Sacred Battle Qi and the Undying Indestructible Divine King Art to repair the severe injuries within his body, Ye Wuque raised a hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. He looked at Yao, and instead of pain or anger, his face revealed an expression of utter exhilaration and satisfaction.

"Finally... a living being capable of injuring me..."

He spoke faintly, his tone carrying a trace of satisfaction: "This journey... was not in vain."

However, in his heart, considerable waves had long since surged!

Yao's move just now was too terrifying!

It was not merely simple Space traversal or concealment.

It was truly and thoroughly merging himself into the Void, temporarily becoming one with the Law of Space between heaven and earth, reaching a certain state of "no self, no form"—only thus could he silently close in despite Ye Wuque's full vigilance with his Divine Sense, and deliver that strike of extreme Destruction!

This was absolutely not something ordinary Space talent could achieve!

This was Yao's own unique understanding and comprehension of the path of unity between heaven and man, reaching an inconceivable height!

Truly wielding the power of "heaven," especially Space Power, to a degree of consummate mastery!

Vast Space Power, condensed into a heavenly blade that severed all, shadowless and formless, yet invincible wherever it pointed!

"Truly worthy of... being a future founder of the Glory Law..." Ye Wuque sighed faintly in his heart. "At this age... already possessing such achievements... truly... stunningly talented!"

In this soul-stirring collision, both had unleashed every method at their disposal, and both had suffered grave injuries. The battle was far more brutal than any previous clash!

The result... was still... evenly matched!

Separated by tens of thousands of miles, the two's gazes met in the air. Each saw the solemnity, the appreciation, and the even more blazingly burning... battle intent in the other's eyes!

Without a single word, the two tacitly sat down cross-legged in this void starry sky at the same time, each circulating their profound arts, racing against time to heal and recover.

They both knew that the clash just now was merely the beginning.

The true... collision of ultimate foundations had not yet arrived!

The next round would be even more earth-shattering!

And the watching beings around them, slowly recovering from their extreme shock, were now thoroughly shaken beyond measure by this battle of continuous reversals and perilous turns, marveling endlessly at Yao's unfathomable "Void Burial Slash."

"I... holy shit! Yao... how did he just do that?! Didn't he get blown apart?!"

"Is that... a Space divine ability? No! It feels more like... he became Space itself!"

"Too terrifying! Ye Wuque's Flesh is too freakish! Even that didn't cleave him open?! Just how freakish is he?! Damn!"

"Both of them are heavily wounded! And from the looks of it... this battle of theirs is far from over!!"

"My god... this is... a true pinnacle showdown..."
