Chapter 186 – True Strength!
Blue flames surged around Chen Chengwang’s body, allowing him to hover in the air. His deep, powerful aura pressed down on Xu Disheng.
Chen Chengwang extended his arm, curling his hand into a fist. Icy blue flame leapt around his body, growing in intensity. With a burst of strength, he charged toward Xu Disheng, leaving a dazzling trail of blue light in his wake.
Xu Disheng bore the pressure of Chen Chengwang’s aura that rivaled the Dao Foundation stage in strength, watching as he rapidly approached. He took out the White Lotus Array Flag and the Jade Water Array Flag, then materialized an array in front of him, laying down layer upon layer of defense.
Bang!
Chen Chengwang stood in the air, his right hand still curled in a fist. The blue flames leaping off his body were flaring up like a raging inferno. “You want to block me with a Magic Treasure’s puny array domain?” he scoffed.
The external array domain materialized by the two top-grade Magic Treasures was blown apart by a single fist from Chen Chengwang!
The White Lotus Array Flag and the Jade Water Array Flag were sent flying back to Xu Disheng, who promptly put them away.
With a thought, the Demon Punishing Array Diagram appeared above his head. The four different colored swords flashed, attempting to suck Chen Chengwang into its dimension!
If Xu Disheng could suck him into the array diagram, he could gain the advantage and slowly whittle him down!
Chen Chengwang’s expression filled with an even greater disdain. His right hand still curled tightly into a fist, he flagrantly threw out a punch towards the incoming suppression of the Demon Punishing Array Diagram.
The moment he punched out, the blazing blue flames on his fist blossomed into a dazzling radiance, colliding with the four-colored sword lights!
Boom!
With a loud explosion, the blue flames overpowered the four-colored sword lights, sending them flying away. Chen Chengwang staggered a few steps back, but this only made his fighting intent grow stronger. “What a good array diagram!”
The Demon Punishing Array Diagram furled back up and returned to Xu Disheng. The four-colored sword lights revolved above Xu Disheng’s head, orbiting about.
“Chen Chengwang’s body is so strong…!”
It was exactly as this person said. At that moment, Chen Chengwang, standing in the middle of the air, took out two True Qi Pills from his interspatial ring and tossed them down.
He looked down at Xu Disheng and said, “If that’s all you have to rely on, you aren’t my opponent.”
Xu Disheng lifted his gaze slightly to look at him, but didn’t respond. A black war chariot clad in a dreadful, sinister aura appeared in front of him, filling the air with an evil energy. It was the Fierce Specter War Chariot, which had a Fierce Specter stage ghost sealed inside!
Chen Chengwang’s expression turned a bit more serious. He took out a pair of sky blue metal knuckles. It wasn’t clear what they were made out of, but they shone with a scintillating glow, making it clear that it was a Psychic Magic Treasure!
“The Blue Sky Knuckles!”
“The Blue Sky Knuckles are a Psychic Magic Treasure specifically for body refining experts!”
“It’s rumored that the knuckles were made from blue sky meteoric iron, and… they’re apparently strong enough to damage other Psychic Magic Treasures!”
“But Xu Disheng’s Fierce Specter War Chariot…”
“Yes, it also has some origin to it. The Fierce Specter stage ghost sealed within… it actually originates from a Divine Core stage disciple from the Mountain of Law who turned traitor several hundred years ago.”

Chen Chengwang put on the knuckles, the glow surrounding both of his fists becoming even brighter. With a sneer, he swooped down, swinging a fist towards Xu Disheng!
“First seal, release!”
Xu Disheng made a hand seal, then stamped his hand on the Fierce Specter War Chariot!
A resentful howl shook the air, ringing throughout the arena. A figure emitting fiendish energy appeared from the war chariot. Its sinister face opened wide, spitting out a vortex of ghost force as black as the depths of the underworld!
The ghost force vortex sucked up nearly half of the mist floating above the arena as it approached Chen Chengwang, who punched out towards it with both fists!
The black, fiendish qi that was covering practically half of the entire arena collided head-on with the blue radiance!
The sound of an enormous explosion rocked the entire sea of clouds. The fiendish qi dissipated, and Chen Chengwang’s face was also somewhat pale. A grim smile teased at the corner of his mouth. “I wonder how many times you can use a move like that?”
Many people looked over at his opponent. Sure enough, Xu Disheng was in the middle of taking several True Qi Pills. Clearly, a single attack from the Fierce Specter in the Fierce Specter War Chariot consumed a massive amount of his profound qi.
The flaming blue radiance surged forth with renewed vigor from the Blue Sky Knuckles. After adjusting his breathing for a moment, Chen Chengwang charged towards Xu Disheng once more!
True Qi Pills recovered profound qi very quickly, but there wasn’t enough time. Xu Disheng didn’t have enough time to completely recover his profound qi. He gritted his teeth, then made a hand seal. “Swallowing Soul Mantra, second form. Ghost Devourer!”
Unexpectedly, he consumed a little under half of the Soul Force in the black flute to cast an advanced spell from the Swallowing Soul Mantra!
The soul-suppressing Evil Spirit skull hovering by his shoulder let out a howl and shot towards Chen Chengwang, unleashing black winds in its wake.
“Your secret soul attacking technique is no secret anymore. I’ve made preparations far in advance. You can’t do anything to me,” Chen Chengwang said, his sneer growing deeper. He completely ignored the approaching Evil Spirit skull, then swung out with a flaming fist at Xu Disheng!
The soul-suppressing Evil Spirit skull went right through Chen Chengwang, leaving him completely unharmed!
Upon closer inspection, it was possible to see a faint yellow glow flash above Chen Chengwang’s head. It was a soul and mind protecting Magic Treasure, which were extremely rare.
Caaaaaw!
Dozens of white birds flew out from the White Heron Robe, but it was only able to block the explosive force of the Blue Sky Knuckles for a single breath of time. After that, the white birds dissipated back into pure profound qi.
A thin screen of water appeared in front of Chen Chengwang, blocking his line of sight for a moment. The screen of water was pierced through in an instant, but it caused the unstoppable blue flaming fist to pause for a moment.
However…
Chen Chengwang furrowed his eyebrows. His fist collided with layer after layer of water screens, gradually slowing down his momentum. He suddenly looked up.
Xu Disheng had already appeared dozens of meters behind him!
There were hundreds of water screens erected protectively in front of him!
“How could this be?! Is Xu Disheng’s profound qi infinite?”
“He just used the Fierce Specter War Chariot to attack. He theoretically shouldn’t have any profound qi remaining. Even if he did take several True Qi Pills just now, he shouldn’t be able to recover profound qi this fast!”
“So many water screens! And every single one of them has about the same amount of defensive power as a Magic Treasure!”
Meanwhile, in Xu Disheng’s sea of qi, the phantom image of the ancient bell was trembling, madly absorbing the power of heaven and earth outside of Xu Disheng’s body. The speed at which it was absorbing was allowing him to recover several times faster than the True Qi Pills!
For the first time, Xu Disheng’s profound law foundation was showing its unique characteristic!
In a battle, he could recover the profound qi in his sea of qi at an incredibly fast rate!
“You said I wasn’t your opponent?” Xu Disheng said as he rose up into the air on the Yin Yang Diagram, his blue and white robe fluttering in the wind.
“You told me that aside from that soul-attacking spell and the Controlling Waves technique, there’s nothing I can do against you, didn’t you?”
The profound qi emanating from Xu Disheng’s body was bountiful and concentrated to the extreme. Almost all of the power of heaven and earth in the boundary of the enormous arena was gathering above his head, forming a massive whirlpool of energy that was being absorbed rapidly into his Jianggong meridian.
“Didn’t you also say that I couldn’t block your attack?”
The Fierce Specter War Chariot appeared again next to Xu Disheng. He formed an even more complicated hand seal, then stamped it on the chariot!
“Second seal, release!”
Boundless evil energy erupted forth, causing the air to shake!
A blood-curdling shriek echoed out as the Fierce Specter stage ghost appeared from the war chariot, its figure was even more consolidated than before. It turned to look at Xu Disheng, then shot out a mouthful of pure baleful energy from its mouth. Its ghostly claws condensed an extremely concentrated orb of ghost force, which melded with the baleful energy it spat out towards Chen Chengwang.
The orb of baleful energy was the purest, darkest black. After it fused with the ghost force, the evil aura it was emanating turned even denser, filled with a will to annihilate souls. It spread out and propagated, tainting half of the arena with the darkest black as it swallowed towards Chen Chengwang!
“That’s the seal that can only be released by a Dao Foundation stage cultivator!”
“The second seal of the Fierce Specter War Chariot can only be released by a Dao Foundation stage cultivator, so why can Xu Disheng…”
“Why isn’t he scared at all of the backlash from the Fierce Specter ghost after forcefully opening the second seal?”
“Maybe it’s an effect of his secret ghost Dao technique, who knows?”
“How is this anything strange to be gawking at? Doesn’t the Controlling Waves technique also require the user to be at the Dao Foundation stage?”
“Exactly. Unparalleled geniuses can’t be compared with ordinary people. Everything that’s happened is within reason. Isn’t Zhang Yangui the same way?”
“Zhang Yangui is the grandson of Realm Master Qingfu. He has also trained with Red Lotus Primordial Lord for over 20 years. How can Xu Disheng compare to him?”
“The fact that anyone has even mentioned Zhang Yangui means that Xu Disheng is already comparable to him.”
After hearing that, all the people who had spoken earlier quieted down.
Before anyone knew it, Xu Disheng had experienced a meteoric rise from his origins in Mingxin Mountain, and after his dazzling performance so far, he was now being compared with the unparalleled Rank 3 Spiritual Root geniuses.
