Chapter 941: Chapter 459: Encounter, Battle of Wits_2

“Is that all there is?” Lu Yun scratched his head, looking at the spirit herbs he had picked clean and then gazing at the mighty Heavenly River, feeling somewhat unfulfilled.

Finally, he pondered for a while and decisively continued upward, wanting to see what the source of the Heavenly River and the Curse was.

Days later, he struggled to move forward, finally nearing the end of the Heavenly River.

Here, the power of the Curse was at its most intense, with endless light flashing and a terrifying aura of the Great Dao. In addition to that, there was the grand sound of a roaring river.

As he drew closer, he finally saw it—a pool that spanned several zhang, with mist rising and obscuring the view inside, so he could only sense a huge fluctuation, surging mightily and causing one’s physical body to tremble and spirit to stir.

“This pool is the source of the Heavenly River…”

As Lu Yun hesitated about whether to go further, from within the hazy pool suddenly a wave of golden ripples erupted like a storm, the formidable momentum startling him.

“If you don’t want to die, then scram!”

A loud shout came from the murky pool, strong and domineering, accompanied by an overwhelming golden light that shook Lu Yun, making him stagger back several steps.

“Could he be the one who left those footprints earlier?” Lu Yun’s heart trembled.

If he had been shocked back, it wasn’t because he was too weak but because he hadn’t prepared himself in time.

But this person’s strength was indeed formidable; clad in golden armor that radiated Divine Brilliance, his black hair flying around, his eyes like sapphires and his features as beautiful as a woman’s.

This person was indeed Han Zhong, who was using the water of the Heavenly River to cleanse his flesh and stimulate the potential of his Divine Bone, forging his Divine Body.

He was incredibly strong, and with a point of his golden spear, he said to Lu Yun, “Scram, or I’ll spare no mercy in killing you!”

The golden waves surged mightily, as if he stood within a Vast Ocean of Divine Power, with the waters of the Heavenly River behind him rolling, displaying a majestic momentum.

What alarmed Lu Yun was the spirit, energy, and essence of this person, burning fiercely like a furnace, his Physical Body terrifyingly powerful, giving off a tremendous pressure as if a meteor had descended, radiating might.

“Boom!”

Seeing that Lu Yun had not retreated, Han Zhong swept his golden spear, bursting forth with a light that reached the heavens, with an aura of mountains collapsing and stars exploding, murderous intent overwhelming.

“Boom!”

However, to Han Zhong’s surprise, faced with his mighty spear thrust, Lu Yun did not evade; he punched out, his fist wrapped in Thunder Power, smashing through the golden waves with ease.

His brow furrowed slightly; his Physical Body had been cleansed by the Heavenly River, his Divine Bone’s potential greatly stimulated, and even his Divine Body had completed its transformation. Under a full-strength blow of his spear, most cultivators in the True Spirit Realm would have been reduced to pieces.

But now, facing a cultivator of the Unity Realm, his strike had been ineffective, blocked by a single punch that dissipated the might of his spear.

“Hmph, it seems I’ve underestimated you, but that was just a casual blow of mine. If I strike with all my might, you will certainly die. I’ll give you another chance, leave immediately!” Han Zhong was still overwhelmingly strong, his black hair dancing, holding his spear while pointing at Lu Yun.

Even though his cultivation was still at the Second Level of the True Spirit Realm, his every move carried an aura of swallowing mountains and rivers, demonstrating the posture of an unrivaled and supreme warrior.

“No need for more useless talk. If you want me to leave this place, show me all your strength,” Lu Yun looked askance at him, utterly unconcerned by the hostility.

With a “hum,” the Heavenly River trembled violently, and Han Zhong attacked once more, his eyes cold and sharp. He was a peerless Heavenly Pride with Divine Bone in his body, who had also transformed into a Divine Body with the aid of the Heavenly River, his strength greatly improved. Looking over the entire Heavenly End Secret Realm, he regarded no one but the very top powerhouses.

“Since that’s the case, then accept your death!” Han Zhong shouted, towering above, ready to cleave Lu Yun in two with his golden spear as if he were a stone.

It was a confidence in his own power and a brazen arrogance toward his opponent. His eyes remained cold, conveying ultimate pride and a chilling sense of superiority, while the golden Divine Light on his armor exploded with overwhelming brilliance.

And the golden spear in his hand instantly expanded by dozens of times, like a pillar holding up the sky, swirling with sharp Divine Light and descending upon Lu Yun’s head.

“Clang!”

Lu Yun extended his hand, and the Blood Slaughter Thunder Knife appeared in his grasp, he struck out fiercely, clanging against the great halberd, the metallic tremor sounding like thunder, shaking the Heavenly River below into hundreds, even thousands of waves, where the forces of curses collided and interwove.

The first strike from both sides was evenly matched, meeting their match. The golden halberd was rattled, and Lu Yun was blasted away, neither gaining the upper hand, the resulting shockwaves reaching the heavens and shaking the earth.

Han Zhong’s heart was shocked, yet his face remained cold and indifferent. He swung the golden halberd again, sweeping across all directions with grandeur and unrivaled dominance.

Lu Yun dodged and then leapt up suddenly, thunder echoing ceaselessly, darkening the sky, using this to counter the overwhelming might of the Heavenly River.

Their clash was undoubtedly a summit duel. After a temporary probing and collision, various Divine Abilities were gradually displayed, bursting forth with all manner of mysterious glows and Runes, densely covering the void.

“Boom!”

Lu Yun’s blade struck the halberd, and with his other hand, he formed a fist and smashed towards Han Zhong’s face, only to be directly met with a palm thrust from the opponent, engulfed with swirling Thunder Divine Light.

This was their first major clash of physical bodies, erupting in an Intense Brightness so brilliant it drowned out heaven and earth, like two young deities in fierce battle.

In truth, both of their bodies were unmatched, and even though they could not compare to deities in their youth, they far exceeded the physical prowess of those young Fierce Beasts of the world.

“Rumble!”

Both figures shone brilliantly, continuously causing fierce collisions. The incoming force of the Heavenly River and the power of curses were all overwhelmed by the inundating golden light.

This was a great decisive battle that, if witnessed by others, was enough to captivate all beholders.

Yet in this place, apart from these two Heavenly Prides with unrivaled physical bodies, no other Cultivators could reach here, this earth-shattering battle destined to remain unknown to outsiders.

A sheet of green Runes enveloped him, and a deity-like bird cried out, its feathers verdant and resplendent, carrying endless Qinghuo, it covered the sky and sun as it dove towards Lu Yun, embodying the anomaly of Han Zhong’s Divine Body.

Lu Yun dared not be careless. This man’s strength was not to be underestimated. As he moved his hands, Divine Power surged, evolving into a Divine Sea, after which a golden Great Sun emerged, thundering as it rolled towards the divine bird.

After his holy body made great strides, his understanding and application of anomalies undoubtedly received a tremendous improvement, enabling him to perform them more easily and with greatly increased power.

Moreover, he also wanted to test and see how his own holy body’s anomaly compared.

The Great Sun slowly revolved, immense and grand, its Divine Light boundless, situated above the tumultuous Divine Sea, flames raging, its presence vast, rolling towards the green divine bird, holding its ground against it, colliding and bursting forth in dazzlingly brilliant glows.

The standoff lasted a full half-quarter hour, finally ending with everything shattering explosively. Han Zhong staggered backward, gasping heavily, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.

He could not believe he had suffered such a setback. Since the piece of Divine Bone within him was awakened, he had never met a match within the same realm, and even those Senior Brothers whose realms were far beyond his had fallen to his hands.

“Ahhh…” Han Zhong howled, his eyes icy, his murderous intent soaring to the skies!

His black hair stood on end, his pupils sharp as lightning, the Divine Radiance Battle Clothes on his body shone brightly, his whole being surged with Divine Power, shaking heaven and earth.

He rose into the air, the great halberd in his hand shining even brighter, thrusting towards Lu Yun’s chest, releasing bursts of thunderous noise, ringing metallically.

“Clang!”

Another earth-shattering sound, Lu Yun dodged the halberd’s blade, his knife crashed down on the golden halberd shaft, unleashing dozens of ferocious layers of Thunder Power, seeking to shatter this Dao Weapon.

The clanging of metal resounded. The golden halberd was like a wave, spreading endless golden ripples. Not only was it uncut, but it also sent Lu Yun flying back, while the Blood Slaughter Thunder Knife wailed pathetically.

Clearly, the golden halberd was of a higher grade than the Blood Slaughter Thunder Knife.

Both sides were increasingly ferocious as the battle waged on, showing no signs of stopping. In an instant, dozens of metallic tremors echoed, Runes booming across heaven and earth.

Finally, both the golden halberd and the Blood Slaughter Thunder Knife turned into Spirit Bodies, rising into the high skies, wrapped in supreme Divine Might, battling each other.

And Lu Yun and Han Zhong, naturally, continued to exchange blow for blow, their forms at times like divine monkeys soaring, at times like flood dragons emerging from the sea, and then like eagles striking the vast heavens…

Actions swift as lightning, force as if shattering the Milky Way, clashing dozens of times in an instant, their physical bodies undergoing fierce collisions.
