169: Chapter 166 Battle Against Three Illusory Phantoms of Late-Stage Body Refinement Grandmasters!

Terrifying ripples of energy, like tangible waves, spread madly in all directions, tearing hideous cracks into this eternal darkness.

Chen Zhiwen's body jolted violently, and he felt an irresistible force coming from the fist, sending him flying backward uncontrollably for hundreds of zhang before he could barely steady himself.

He shook his slightly numb right arm, and instead of having any fear in his eyes, an even more intense Battle Intent burned within them.

Those three Late-stage Grandmaster Body Refining phantoms were similarly shaken back repeatedly, and the light condensed on their bodies dimmed slightly.

They had no emotions, no thoughts; their only instinct was to fight, to destroy all intruders!

The moment they steadied themselves, the three phantoms turned into three streams of destructive light again, attacking Chen Zhiwen from three different directions at tricky and ruthless angles!

Fists, palms, fingers, elbows, knees...

Every part of their bodies turned into the most lethal killing weapons, creating bursts of sonic booms that tore through the Void Realm, with relentless attacks, like a violent storm, aiming to completely engulf Chen Zhiwen!

"Bring it on!"

Chen Zhiwen let out a long roar to the sky, his Battle Intent soaring to the heavens!

He no longer held anything back; the power of the three systems—Qi Refining, Body Refining, and Soul Refining—was pushed to the limit at this moment!

Golden Imperial Qi condensed behind him into a vague phantom of an emperor, suppressing the Nine Heavens and the earth.

The glass-pure Divine Soul power turned into an invisible barrier, observing every subtle movement of the three phantoms and predicting all their attack trajectories.

And his formidable Physical Body was like immortal divine metal; every collision with the phantoms erupted with a clanging sound like gold and iron clashing!

For a time, this silent Void Realm completely turned into the most tragic battlefield.

Chen Zhiwen's figure moved nimbly under the siege of the three phantoms, handling it with ease.

His fists were incomparably hegemonic and expansive; every punch he threw seemed as if it would pierce through the firmament!

His fingers were sharp and unparalleled, like a heavenly sword; every time he pointed, he accurately struck the weak points of the opponent's offensive!

His movement technique was even more elegant and unpredictable, like a ghost; in attacks that seemed to have no gaps, he could always find a glimmer of survival.

He turned the battle into an art form!

Time passed slowly during the fierce battle.

One hundred breaths... three hundred breaths... five hundred breaths...

Chen Zhiwen fought more bravely as the battle went on; under immense pressure, the Qi and blood within his body circulated faster and faster, like rushing, roaring rivers!

He could clearly feel that his Physical Body was being tempered bit by bit in this hearty battle, becoming tougher and stronger!

Finally, after nearly a thousand breaths of fierce fighting, Chen Zhiwen seized a fleeting opportunity!

"Now!"

A flash of light appeared in his eyes, and his Divine Soul power erupted, turning into an invisible impact that slammed heavily into the phantom on the left!

The phantom's figure suddenly stalled!

When experts fight, victory or defeat lies in the slightest gap!

Just this brief stagnation was enough for Chen Zhiwen!

"Break!"

With a low shout, his figure moved like a Dragon, instantly closing in, and he struck a palm carrying the force of ten thousand jun heavily onto the phantom's chest!

Bang!

A dull, loud noise erupted; the phantom was sent flying backward instantly as if struck by a mountain!

Having succeeded with one strike, Chen Zhiwen did not stop his offensive; he stepped on the Void Realm, turned his body, and threw both fists out like dual Dragons emerging from the sea, slamming them toward the other two phantoms respectively!

Boom! Boom!

With two more loud noises, the other two phantoms also could not withstand this hegemonic power and were all shaken back!

The three phantoms stood in three different directions, and the Aura on their bodies suddenly began to climb at this moment!

A destructive Aura, several times stronger than before, permeated from their bodies, causing the entire eighth layer of space to begin to twist and tremble violently!

The light on their bodies became incomparably brilliant at this moment, like three shining suns, aiming to completely illuminate this eternal darkness!

They were about to unleash their strongest attack!

Chen Zhiwen's expression also became solemn.

He could feel that the Aura of these three phantoms was already faintly connected; the next attack would surely be earth-shattering!

He did not dare to be the slightest bit careless.

With a thought, a jet-black sharp sword flowing with faint radiance appeared in his hand.

The dao-slaying sword!

The sword body trembled slightly, emitting a clear sword hum, as if excited for the coming battle!

Chen Zhiwen held the long sword, and his entire Aura underwent an earth-shaking change.

If he was a hegemonic monarch before, then at this moment, he was a Sword Immortal who held the power of life and death, judging the ages!

"Come!"

"Let me see just how strong the trial of the eighth layer of the prison suppressing pagoda really is!"

His voice echoed in this Void Realm.

As if responding to his words, the three phantoms moved!

They turned into three divine rainbows that pierced through the heavens and earth, moving at a speed that could not be described in words, carrying the will to destroy everything, merging into one, and fiercely slamming toward Chen Zhiwen!

At that moment, the entire Void Realm seemed to stand still.

Only that beam of light, which fused the full power of the three Late-stage Grandmaster Body Refining experts, became the only thing in this world!

Facing this earth-destroying attack, Chen Zhiwen took a deep breath and slowly raised the dao-slaying sword in his hand.

The Imperial Qi, glass-like Soul Power, and rushing blood within his body all surged into the sword body at this moment!

His eyes became incomparably deep, as if reflecting the supreme truth of the Universe's birth and destruction.

"I have a sword that can slay the Dao!"

"Hegemonic Sword Domain, the ages... all empty!"

He spoke word by word; his voice was not loud, but it carried a supreme majesty of words becoming law!

The moment his voice fell, the dao-slaying sword in his hand swung down gently toward the front!

Hum!!!

There was no earth-shattering noise, nor any dazzling light.

All there was, was a jet-black sword mark that appeared out of thin air in the Void Realm.

That sword mark was so deep, so pure, as if it could swallow all light and annihilate all existence!

Wherever it passed, space was annihilated silently, and the power of the rules collapsed instantly!

The moment that earth-destroying beam of light touched this black sword mark, it was like ice and snow under the scorching sun; without causing a single ripple, it was instantly swallowed and dissolved!

Immediately after, the black sword mark continued on its path without slowing down, and in an instant, it slashed across the bodies of the three phantoms.
