Unrivaled Martial Emperor

Chapter 488 - First Collision

“Let alone survive the attack, I am sure just a part of the shockwave can tear me to shreds.”

“As expected of a once-in-a-fifty-years genius. The attack can instantly annihilate a hundred Core Formation realm experts. This is the power to split rivers and tear apart the tectonic plates.”

“Terrifying. It’s too terrifying! This is only a casual attack from Duan Jingtian, and it’s already this powerful. I can’t imagine how devastating it would be if he got serious.”

The crowd grew tense when they saw such a godly yet terrifying method. They were aware that the attack could annihilate them, leaving behind not a trace of their existence.

Zhong Ya’s irises shrunk violently when he saw Duan Jingtian’s attack. “As expected of Duan Jingtian. Compared to when we fought two years ago, his strength has become even more unfathomable!”

Two years ago, he had challenged Duan Jingtian to a fight, and they fought a shockingly fierce battle at Tianmen Mountain.

After obtaining an ancient legacy, Zhong Ya's strength had soared, so he aimed to dethrone Duan Jingtian from his position as the tenth ranker on the leaderboard. However, Duan Jingtian defeated him in just three hundred moves.

That battle was deeply etched in Zhong Ya’s memory, vivid and fresh even now.

He had spent the last two years cultivating bitterly and had made significant progress, which made him think the gap between their strengths had shrunk. However, when Duan Jingtian struck, Zhong Ya realized the gap was still there and had widened.

The alliance members grew more animated as they watched Duan Jingtian’s powerful move shake the heavens and earth. Emotions surged, and they roared, basking in the glory of the moment.

“Alliance Leader is mighty!”

“Alliance Leader is invincible!”

All eyes were wide open, witnessing what seemed like a gigantic sledgehammer falling from the sky to smash an egg. They had no doubt the egg would lose all semblance of form, smashed into bits.

The sledgehammer was Duan Jingtian’s attack, while Chen Fan was the egg.

Buzz, buzz...

Hundreds of long rivers of energy descended, ready to engulf Chen Fan.

However, just as this devastating attack was about to strike, the crowd suddenly felt the surrounding primeval qi of heaven and earth shake violently. It seemed like an ancient beast was awakening or a colossal god was standing up.

“Duan Jingtian, don’t embarrass yourself with such petty tricks.”

Snap!

An enormous hand, vast enough to obscure the sky and sun, rose from the arena and struck upward to hold up the skies.

Pop!

Chen Fan’s true primeval turned into a massive umbrella, deflecting the energy blast of the hundreds of long rivers without yielding.

“My god, he withstood it!” someone shouted in astonishment.

The crowd saw someone slowly standing up under the enormous hand.

Initially barely noticeable, Chen Fan’s aura rapidly intensified. He suddenly grew taller, holding up heaven and earth like a god.

Chen Fan’s clothes fluttered noisily in the fierce wind. He appeared majestic, his aura deep and thick, yet not overbearing. It seemed like he could bear the weight of all the lives under heaven and support a universe.

“Break!” Chen Fan said faintly, tearing apart with the enormous true primeval hand.

Immediately, a mass of chaotic primeval qi appeared in the air, sweeping away the berserk energy and making it disappear without a trace. Duan Jingtian’s attack was neutralized just like that.

“Amazing!”

The crowd’s gazes trembled fiercely when they saw Chen Fan effortlessly destroy Duan Jingtian’s attack. Their jaws slackened, realizing the vast gap between themselves and the likes of Chen Fan and Duan Jingtian.

“I knew you wouldn’t disappoint me, Chen Fan. If you couldn’t withstand my casual attack, this fight would have been meaningless. Fortunately, your strength is decent enough to warrant my attention, but that’s all.”

Rumble!

Duan Jingtian did not attack, but his aura was like a mountain, crushing toward Chen Fan. Even experts at the same cultivation level would crumble under this crushing aura. He was indeed taking the fight more seriously.

During the past year, while repenting for his actions, he had kept tabs on Chen Fan’s exploits and the disturbances he caused.

He also knew Chen Fan’s cultivation had skyrocketed. However, since he had never fought Chen Fan, he remained skeptical of the reports. That earlier attack was a test to gauge Chen Fan’s true skill and see if he lived up to the hype.

By the looks of things now, Chen Fan didn’t disappoint him too much.

The true primeval around Chen Fan exploded, as the pressure had stimulated his qi. A terrifying aura spread and countless phenomena manifested around him.

“Duan Jingtian, I hope you won’t disappoint me either. I have prepared a long time for this day.”

All of a sudden, Chen Fan became incredibly imposing and inviolable.

His energy surged within him, erupting and suppressing the surrounding space. The surrounding air currents instantly calmed, and Duan Jingtian’s crushing aura failed to shake him.

“Die!” Chen Fan stomped on the space violently. The air within the surrounding kilometer or so suddenly collapsed.

The crowd felt a terrifying force descending from the void, squeezing and crushing them as if a steel plate were trying to flatten them.

Chen Fan let out a passionate roar to the sky. He released his terrifying energy, and it erupted instantly. His aura went extremely berserk, shaking the space violently.

He struck out with his palm in the air, and with a rumble, the stars fell like rain. The sounds of ghosts weeping and gods howling rang in one’s ears. An intent to reap lives erupted, blasting toward Duan Jingtian.

Facing Chen Fan’s palm strike, Duan Jingtian narrowed his eyes. An icy and dangerous light shot out. He fiercely grabbed at the empty air, producing numerous crackling noises.

“Shifting Mountain!”

His grab seemed to have pulled out a mountain from nothingness. With a fling of his arm, a silhouette of a hundred-thousand-foot-tall mountain appeared in space.

Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack...

The mountain silhouette squeezed the space so much that snapping noises echoed, indicating its inability to bear the weight.

Rumble!

The mountain flew toward Chen Fan with shocking momentum. The crowd sucked in a breath of cold air, holding their breaths.

If the mountain were to fall on them, they were sure that they would be reduced to a pool of crushed meat.
