Chapter 57

Hu Lie's simple and brutal pounce, yet it contains the innate terrifying power and killing instinct of the Primordial Overlord Tiger Clan!

The claw wind tore through the Void, and the five pitch-black cracks it raised were like the Death God's talons, instantly enveloping all of Ye Wuque's dodging space; the violent Xuesha qi even more so crushed ahead, enough to freeze and shatter the souls of ordinary Immortal Ladder experts!

Even the Heavenly Pride watching from afar, despite the great distance, still felt their scalps go numb and their bodies turn cold, as if they would be torn to shreds by the aftermath of that claw wind in the next moment!

"As expected of a terrifying existence of the Primordial Overlord Tiger Clan, a casual claw reaches such horror!"

"The Fleshly body and strength of the Ancient Overlord Tiger are universally recognized as the pinnacle of the Zhutian! To take it head-on is absolutely not wise!"

However, facing this terrifying strike capable of ripping apart stars, Ye Wuque stood in place, his black robe not even violently swaying.

He seemed unable to see the imminent danger, merely calmly raising his right hand and extending a finger.

That was Ye Wuque's right middle finger.

On his fingertip, there was no dazzling divine light bursting forth, only an extreme concentration and profundity, as if the weight of an entire Star Domain had been compressed into a tiny space!

Just as that enormous tiger claw was about to strike his body——

Ye Wuque pointed with a finger!

His fingertip violently collided with that tiger claw!

Hum!!!

A heaven-shaking explosion suddenly erupted, like the terrifying dull roar of two ancient stars colliding, as if it could overturn the heavens at any moment!

A substantial energy ripple, mixed with golden qi-blood and black-red slaughter qi, centered on the point of impact, spread out wildly like water waves!

Crack!

Crack-crack!

The starlight path beneath their feet instantly filled with spiderweb-like cracks, and the distant ancient palace's ruined walls and broken battlements, as if struck by an invisible giant hammer, collapsed in a rumbling heap!

The energy ripple swept over the nearby Heavenly Pride watching from afar; although greatly weakened, it still shook many, causing their qi and blood to surge, forcing them to retreat repeatedly, their faces pale with shock!

At the collision's center, Ye Wuque's form remained unmoving, his fingertip firmly holding up that huge, ferocious tiger claw!

And the terrifying momentum of Hu Lie's forward lunge was actually halted dead in its tracks!

A massive recoil force transmitted; Hu Lie's huge tiger body shuddered slightly, fell back to the ground, and shattered the earth within a radius of hundreds of thousands of zhang!

In his pair of tiger eyes burning with golden flames, for the first time appeared clear astonishment……and an even more fervent excitement!

"Huh?"

Hu Lie retracted his slightly numb claws, looking at the tiny white spot at the center of his paw, and let out a low, thunder-like laugh from his throat:

"Interesting! You actually managed to block my claw purely with finger strength without retreating at all! Human kid, your flesh……has something!"

The laziness and teasing on his face slightly receded, replaced by a ferocity and excitement felt when seeing prey worthy of serious attention:

"Looks like, with just this strength, I can't crush you to death……good! That makes it interesting!"

Ye Wuque slowly retracted his finger; beneath his black robe came a faint light laugh, the laugh actually carrying a hint of……vigorous fighting spirit:

"You are much stronger than that Xu Bukun who only relies on external objects and howling."

"Perhaps……it will allow me to enjoy myself a bit."

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Pride watching from afar nearly popped their eyeballs out!

"Mad! Too mad!"

Facing the renowned top Heavenly Pride of the Primordial Overlord Tiger Clan, he actually said the opponent could only let him "have a little fun"?!

Hu Lie was not angry but laughed, his laughter shook the whole ancient hall: "Roar hahaha! Good! Good human kid! Enough vigor! This Venerable One loves crushing hard bones like yours!"

"Then let you taste……the true……flesh slaughter technique of my Primordial Overlord Tiger Clan!"

Roar!

Hu Lie let out another earth-shaking roar, his black-and-gold fur instantly flashing with a dim luster, muscles bulging like coiled dragons, a more primordial and savage aura erupting explosively!

"Overlord God Nine Steps……Star-Shattering Step!"

He stomped the ground fiercely, his body not launching in a straight line but moving with a profound step that embodies the ultimate principle of heaven and earth, instantly vanishing from the spot!

It seemed to merge into the void and the flow of power, each step taken secretly conforming to the trajectory of celestial bodies, speed reaching the extreme, moreover carrying a terrifying force that could trample stars and overturn heaven and earth!

Everyone only felt a blur before their eyes, Hu Lie's shadow seemed to split into dozens or even hundreds, attacking Ye Wuque simultaneously from every unimaginable angle in all directions!

Claws, elbow strikes, knee blows, tail sweeps……every part of the body turned into the most terrifying weapons of slaughter!

The offensive was like a raging wind and rain, relentless!

"What a terrifying movement technique! One can't even see where his True Body is!"

"The combat instinct of the Primordial Overlord Tiger Clan is too terrifying! This is completely the art of slaughter!"

The onlooking Heavenly Prides turned pale with shock, asking themselves if they were in the midst of it, they likely couldn't even last a breath before being torn to pieces!

However, Ye Wuque, standing at the storm's center, was like a reef in monstrous waves, unmoving!

His figure likewise became blurred, with a footwork no less exquisite than the opponent's, weaving through the dense terrifying attacks, sometimes fingers together like a blade, sometimes turning palm into fist, precisely blocking Hu Lie's successive deadly strikes!

Divine King Steps on Nine Heavens!

The top-tier movement divine ability from the Summoning Gods Canon was now displayed by Ye Wuque to the fullest.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sound of flesh collision rang like heavenly thunderclaps, exploding densely!

Each collision burst out terrifying energy ripples, tearing the Void!

The two actually fought fast against fast, purely using flesh slaughter techniques, unfolding on this ruin a close-quarters brutal battle that dazzled the eyes and made hearts pound!

"Hahaha! Satisfying! Take another of my 'Star-Shattering Divine Claw'!"

Hu Lie grew more excited the more he fought, terrifying star-shattering energy suddenly condensing on his tiger claw, one swipe aimed at Ye Wuque's celestial crown!

"Is that all?"

Ye Wuque replied calmly, fingers together like a sword, fingertips entwined with supreme Great Power, precisely pointing at the claw's center!

Boom!

Another intense collision, both figures swayed simultaneously, each retreated half a step—actually evenly matched!

"Your flesh... can actually rival my Primordial Overlord Tiger Clan?!"

Hu Lie's tiger eyes finally showed an expression of disbelief.

The absolute flesh strength he prided himself on, enough to overwhelm peers, actually couldn't gain the upper hand?!

"Rival?"

Ye Wuque lightly shook his head, his tone still calm, "You seem... to have misunderstood something."

He slowly lifted his head; beneath the black robe, a pair of eyes seemed to have golden divine flames begin to ignite.

"'Just now... was only a warm-up.'"

"'Now... let you see what true flesh is!'"

Boom!!!!!!!!!!

A surge of golden qi and blood, far more fervent, overbearing, and terrifying than before, like a volcano dormant for myriad ages, erupted explosively from Ye Wuque's body!

Blinding and radiant, the pure yang golden divine radiance instantly engulfed everything!

Ye Wuque's entire being seemed to transform into a true descending Great Yang!

Undying Indestructible Imperial Golden Body, seventh transformation—Extreme Tyrant Great Yang!

Unleash fully!

No longer a restrained glimmer, but a complete outward release and explosion!

The pure yang, pure strong aura purifies all things, dispelling all yin evil malign energy!

That blazing light seemed capable of melting stars; that terrifying heat made the distant Heavenly Pride onlookers feel their souls about to ignite!

At this moment, Ye Wuque is the sole... Eternal Great Sun of heaven and earth!

"'What?!'"

The excitement on Hu Lie's face instantly turned to shock!

His tiger eyes were narrowed by the fierce golden light, feeling an extreme pressure as if encountering a natural nemesis!

The Overlord Tiger killing aura he prided himself on, under this Great Yang divine radiance, actually melted away like snow!

"'Playing tricks! Break it!'"

Hu Lie roared in anger, pushing his flesh strength to the limit, his black-gold fur shimmering with runes, a single Overlord God Trample Heaven Step gathering all his strength fiercely stomped toward that Great Yang!

Attempting to shatter that light with absolute strength!

However!

That terrifying step capable of crushing an Ancient Star, upon landing on the Great Yang radiance, was like a mud cow entering the sea—only causing the golden light to ripple slightly, utterly unable to shake its foundation!

Instead, a even more scorching, overbearing recoil force surged wildly up his leg bones into his body!

"'Not good!' Hu Lie's complexion suddenly changed!"

Just then——

Within the Great Yang, a fist seemingly forged of pure gold silently protruded!

Simple, direct, yet containing the absolute power and will to crush all things!

This punch reached extremes of speed and weight, as if carrying the entire Great Yang's weight and heat!

Hu Lie had no time to dodge; he could only roar, crossing his arms before his chest to hard-block this punch!

Bang——!!!!

Like the tremendous roar of divine metal colliding, it exploded!

"'Pfft!!!!'"

Hu Lie felt an indescribable terrifying force instantly ripping through his protective killing aura, shattering the defensive runes on his arm bones, and violently blasting into his body!

His mighty tiger body, as if struck head-on by a burning star, spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with organ fragments, his whole body flying backward at several times the speed, smashing through dozens of ancient hall ruins, finally blasting a deep crater in the wreckage, dust and smoke rising to the sky!

Primordial Overlord Tiger Clan's top Heavenly Pride, Hu Lie……

Injured!

The entire venue, dead silence.

All the watching Heavenly Pride widened their mouths, gazing at Ye Wuque, whose black robe figure re-emerged as the golden light gradually retracted, as if beholding a true... flesh deity!

Ye Wuque's true combat power is actually this terrifying!
