Chapter 745: Mortal Hand
In the night sky, a terrifying and ma.s.sive figure emerged.
It was half human half beast. It had the figure of a human but the head of a demonic beast. Its claws were also demonic beast claws, and its body was covered with scales. There was even a spiraled horn on its head.
Not all demonic beasts like to take the human form, unless it was to converse with humans. Otherwise, a demonic beast would never choose to change its form.
“Are you the one that killed Young Master Sky Trample?
The demonic beast in the human form walked over slowly. Due to the immense size of the body, each step would make the ground tremble. Countless shards of rocks would float up before turning into dust.
“That’s right. Kill me if you are capable enough.”
Li Fuchen made use of the force from the attack to increase his speed as he flew backwards.
“There is no escape.” The human-formed demonic beast gave chase.
The residents of the town were extremely touched. How could they not know that Li Fuchen was luring the demonic beast overlord away? Otherwise, the shockwaves from the battle would destroy the town along with everyone in it.
Inside the airship, Wu Zhuo asked nervously, “Uncle Barbaric Peak, can master defeat the demonic beast overlord?”
The Barbaric Peak Great Emperor said, “Even if the young master cannot defeat the demonic beast overlord, he should be able to keep his life!”
Li Fuchen’s strength had refreshed the Barbaric Peak Great Emperor’s knowledge for multiple times. Back at the valley outside the Half Mountain City, when Li Fuchen repelled the Blood Emperor with a single fist, the Barbaric Peak Great Emperor knew that Li Fuchen’s strength could make it into the top 10 of the Great Emperor Rankings.
However, on the Saint Spirit Continent, there were definitely less than five individuals other than the saints who could contest with low-tier demonic beast overlords.
On the Great Emperor Rankings, there should only be three individuals that could do so.
“Come, let’s follow.”
The Barbaric Peak Great Emperor controlled the airship to follow at the back.
With the defense of the peak-grade airship, a low-tier demonic beast overlord wouldn’t be able to break it in a single attack. Once Li Fuchen was in danger, the Barbaric Peak Great Emperor would be prepared to help with the retreat.
Thousands of miles away from the town, Li Fuchen and the human-formed demonic beast were still travelling at high speed.
“You dare to think about escaping from me, the Brute Force Overlord? In your dreams!” The Brute Force Overlord roared and clawed at Li Fuchen.
Boom!
The ground had a giant print of the claw. Li Fuchen stopped and turned around to face the Brute Force Overlord.
“Not escaping anymore?” The Brute Force Overlord was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with murderous aura.
He would be held responsible for the Sky Trample Great Ruler’s death, and it was still unknown how the Sky Quake Overlord would deal with him. The fear caused the Brute Force Overlord to have extreme hatred towards Li Fuchen. If he didn’t kill Li Fuchen today, how was he going to answer to the Sky Quake Overlord?
“Escape? Why do I have to escape?” Li Fuchen’s eye landed on the Brute Force Overlord.
This was his first time truly confronting a demonic beast overlord. The previous time at the sea, he was only contesting with a low-tier overlord for one palm in the dark. He didn’t even manage to see the opponent in the eyes.
As a low-tier overlord, the Brute Force Overlord had demonic qi that contained powerful law power. It was obvious that the law power originated from the bloodline.
The Brute Force Overlord’s ma.s.sive body simply had to stand there to stretch open the heaven and earth law.
“This is the power of a demonic beast overlord?”
Li Fuchen let out a forceful breath while his eyes glimmered with battle intent.
The demonic beast overlord was definitely powerful. Just the demonic qi alone was able to stretch open the heaven and earth law. But so what? Since Li Fuchen cultivated the Hand of Star, he had yet to fight an all-out battle. This battle with the demonic beast overlord should be able to push out the ultimate potential of the Hand of Star.
“Since you aren’t escaping, then die.” The Brute Force Overlord charged over.
Boom Boom Boom Boom…
The Brute Force Overlord was on the path of power, while Li Fuchen’s Hand of Star was also on the path of power. When both clashed head on, it produced an unimaginable shockwave. In the radius of a hundred miles, wind and rain were disturbed. The airship was like a boat in the sea that couldn’t keep itself steady.
“Master is too powerful.” Wu Zhuo and Wu Xi had eyes that were glittering.
What kind of strength was required to contest with a low-tier demonic beast overlord.
In the past, they had only heard of it before, but they were able to witness it in person now.
The Barbaric Peak Great Emperor and the others were also holding their breaths. They didn’t even blink as they watched this battle.
It was fortunate that both Li Fuchen and the Brute Force Overlord were clashing with raw power, there weren’t any mystical aspects in their attacks, therefore, the Barbaric Peak Great Emperor and the others were able to see something.
“Die!”
The Brute Force Overlord used its claw to slam Li Fuchen into the ground.
But immediately after, Li Fuchen flew out again.
The Brute Force Overlord’s attack was indeed tyrannical and could even break the law field, however, with the Star Immortal Body, it was hard for Li Fuchen to be injured.
“Mm?”
The Brute Force Overlord was astonished as Li Fuchen received a claw attack from him and wasn’t injured.
“Die! Die! Die!”
The Brute Force Overlord smashed Li Fucen into the ground repeatedly, but Li Fuchen would fly back out repeatedly too.
The Star Immortal Body caused Li Fuchen’s body composition to be very dense, just like the stars in the sky. There was an intense gravitational force that bound the flesh.
“Impossible, Brute Force Technique!”
The Brute Force Overlord activated its innate ability, causing its arm muscles to expand twice as big. It then used the claw to smash Li Fuchen into the ground again.
Pain!
Even though Li Fuchen wasn’t physically hurt, he still felt the pain that he had never felt before.
“This cannot continue.”
Li Fuchen used his right hand to pull a small mountain over and smashed it at the Brute Force Overlord.
Boom!
The small mountain was smashed into shards. The Brute Force Overlord waved its arm to turn the shards into dust.
“I already said that you must die today. Otherwise, Young Master Sky Trample will not be able to rest in peace.”
The Brute Force Overlord was like a demonic G.o.d. It charged in front of Li Fuchen before forming two fists to smash at Li Fuchen.
Li Fuchen’s spirit awareness was able to react, but his body couldn’t. He could only raise both his arms to block the attack.
The ground transformed into waves as it radiated outwards.
One could visibly see that there was a deep pit at the place where Li Fuchen was.
The Brute Force Overlord was in a frenzy as it smashed down repeatedly.
Deep inside the pit, Li Fuchen vomited a mouthful of fresh blood.
He was still injured in the end.
His Star Immortal Body was only at the primary stage and wasn’t considered really immortal.
If Li Fuchen could cultivate until the Hand of Moon, the Star Immortal Body might be able to withstand the repeated attacks from the Brute Force Overlord.
Of course, if he could cultivate until the Hand of Moon, the Brute Force Overlord wouldn’t have a chance to hit him.
Once the Star Immortal Body was broken, Li Fuchen felt the erratic qi power of his Hand of Star which was frenziedly replenishing the Star Immortal Body.
In the blink of the eye, Li Fuchen had recovered completely.
Two hours… Four hours…
Li Fuchen’s Star Immortal Body was broken and replenished repeatedly. The Hand of Star’s qi power was depleted by half.
If this was a regular battle, a few days and nights of battle wouldn’t even use up half of the qi power.
“It has been four hours already.” The Barbaric Peak Great Emperor was rather anxious. He could see that Li Fuchen wasn’t in a good condition.
It was understandable. In the Saint Spirit Continent, there were only a few great emperors who could contest with low-tier demonic beast overlords.
40%, 30%…
The Hand of Star’s qi power was getting used up with rapid speed.
During combat, the amount of qi power required to replenish the Star Immortal Body would be hundred times more than normal.
However, Li Fuchen didn’t panic or plan to escape. He was clear that even if he escaped, there was nowhere to escape as the Brute Force Overlord was much faster than him.
20%, 10%…
When the Hand of Star’s qi power was only left with 10%, Li Fuchen felt his body becoming empty. It was an indescribable feeling of emptiness in his heart.
But in this desperate situation, Li Fuchen’s heart was unprecedentedly peaceful.
Inside his soul sea, countless martial arts flashed by automatically. There was a section of the Mortal Calamity’s memory that was especially clear.
In the next moment, Li Fuchen involuntarily circulated the Mortal Calamity.
The qi powers from the Mortal Calamity and the Hand of Star mixed together.
Immediately after, a miraculous event happened. Two entirely different qi powers actually fused together.
“Not dead yet?”
The Brute Force Overlord could see that Li Fuchen was already at the brink of collapse.
For Li Fuchen to contest with him for so many hours, it was already outside of the Brute Force Overlord’s expectation. But so what? No matter how glorious a person was before death, once they died, they would still be dead.
“Time to die!”
The Brute Force Overlord used both hands and wanted to rip Li Fuchen into two pieces.
Boom!
Radiating red light burst out as a ma.s.sive red fist sent the Brute Force Overlord flying.
“What?”
The Brute Force Overlord was in a daze and didn’t understand what was happening.
“I see now. The Mortal Calamity actually has a trace of connection with the Hand of G.o.d.” Li Fuchen was enlightened.
It had been a long time since Li Fuchen was in a crisis of life and death. He who had a smooth sailing path had never been forced into a desperate situation. His perception might be abnormally high, even if he wasn’t forced into a desperate situation, his improvement speed was still superior to others. But if he was in a crisis, his improvement speed would definitely be faster. Who would dislike having a faster improvement speed?
The Mortal Calamity was just a portion of the Nine Calamity Divine Fist
The Hand of Calamity was the 6th stage of the Hand of G.o.d.
The two obviously had a trace of connection, however, Li Fuchen hadn’t been able to link them until now.
Li Fuchen didn’t expect for the Mortal Calamity to automatically fuse with the Hand of Star at the brink of death.
As soon as the two arts were fused, Li Fuchen immediately felt his Hand of Star rising to the next level. It might not reach the level of the Hand of Moon, but without a doubt, it had an increase in power.
Apart from that, Li Fuchen’s Star Immortal Body seemed to have some changes.
Huff Huff Huff…
Ma.s.sive amounts of energy surged into the body and formed the qi power.
10%, 15%…
In just a short period of time, Li Fuchen had already recovered 5% of his qi power.
“Since it is the fusion of the Hand of Star and Mortal Calamity, I shall name you Mortal Hand!” Li Fuchen’s eyes burst with radiance as he thought to himself.
“What happened earlier?” The Brute Force Overlord recovered and was trying to understand what happened.
Bang!
Li Fuchen used his fist to contest with the Brute Force Overlord’s claw. This time, it was evenly matched.
No, Li Fuchen was actually having the upperhand.
Once Li Fuchen was able to resist the opponent’s attack, his superiority in spiritual awareness was immediately prominent. Multiple red fists broke through the Brute Force Overlord’s defense and landed on his body. The demonic qi protection was immediately obliterated by the Mortal Hand. Even the scales were slowly dropping as they lost their vitality and energy.
The Mortal Hand obviously contained the traits of Mortal Calamity and could destroy all things.
To be accurate, the Mortal Hand enhanced the destruction trait, otherwise, the calamity power of the Mortal Calamity would be able to deal with the Brute Force Overlord.
