290: Chapter 290 A True Immortal's Strike!

"A True Immortal hand bone?"

A sharp light flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes.

At that moment, Liu Mubai waved his hand impatiently, "Cut the stone! Cut the stone quickly!"

*Crackle!*

The Stone Cutter carefully sliced open a corner of the Source Stone.

*Boom!*

A blinding Immortal Light instantly erupted, illuminating the entire square.

Everyone subconsciously closed their eyes.

"Something came out! It really came out!"

"Such rich Immortal Qi!"

Everyone cheered and jumped for joy.

However, as the stone skin peeled off layer by layer, the cluster of Immortal Light gradually dissipated, revealing the object inside.

There was no Immortal Fruit.

There was only a... pale, hideous, clenched skeletal fist!

"This... what is this?!"

"A bone?! How could it be a bone?!"

The cheering came to an abrupt halt, replaced by a dead silence and terror.

Jiang Hao was even more struck like a bolt from the blue, his face pale: "How is it possible? It was clearly an Immortal Fruit... how did it become a bone?!"

Before everyone could react.

That originally clenched skeletal fist suddenly... moved!

"Ka ka ka..."

A tooth-aching sound of bones grinding against each other rang out.

Those five finger bones slowly unfurled.

*Boom—!!!*

An indescribable, terrifying pressure instantly erupted from that hand bone.

The hand bone swelled rapidly against the wind, transforming in the blink of an eye into a skeletal giant palm that blotted out the sun, hovering above Taichu Divine City.

Above the giant palm, not only were the holy Immortal Dao Laws swirling, but there was also a surge of Devilish Qi as black as ink, enough to corrode heaven and earth.

The might of a True Immortal!

The intent of the Demonic Path!

This was an... Immortal-Demon Hand Bone!

*Thud! Thud!*

Under this pressure, countless Cultivators within Taichu Divine City fell like wheat being harvested, each one pressed to the ground, unable to move, even their Souls trembling.

Even Liu Mubai, who was at the Great Ascension Stage, had a pale face at this moment, kneeling on both knees with eyes full of despair.

"It's over... this is a True Immortal's bone... we are all going to die..."

Only Lu Yuan still stood with his hands behind his back, his clothes fluttering, staring solemnly at the giant palm.

"A True Immortal hand bone, is it..."

He could feel that this hand bone was not a dead object; it seemed to contain a lingering strand of obsession from that True Immortal.

And this strand of obsession was filled with the desire for slaughter and destruction.

*Roar—*

A roar that seemed to come from the primeval era echoed from the hand bone.

That sun-blotting giant palm slowly descended, clawing toward Taichu Divine City below.

It wanted to... crush this city!

Under this world-destroying pressure, the millions of Cultivators in the city felt their Divine Souls tremble, like ants facing a dragon, where even breathing became a luxury.

At this critical moment.

A figure in white clothes as white as snow stepped forward like a Heaven-Defying meteor rising upward.

Lu Yuan shattered the Void Realm with one step, the air beneath his feet emitting a sonic boom as he instantly soared into the sky, blocking the path between the skeletal giant palm and the Divine City.

Facing this killing blow from the True Immortal's residual malice, Lu Yuan's expression was solemn, yet without a hint of fear.

He knew that this battle was unavoidable.

"Chaos Body, activate!"

He gave a soft cry.

In an instant, the winds and clouds between heaven and earth changed color.

A grand Phenomenon of the beginning of Chaos slowly unfolded behind him.

Within the Chaos, a green lotus swayed gracefully, emitting a supreme Dao charm that suppressed the heavens.

A blurred phantom of an Immortal King sat cross-legged in the Nine Heavens, looking down upon the eternal ages.

Furthermore, the yin-yang life and death diagram slowly rotated, evolving the birth and death of all things.

At the same time, the four hundred million ancient dragon-elephant particles within his body roared in unison.

*Ang—!!!*

*Roar—!!!*

The deafening roars of dragons and elephants resounded through heaven and earth, even drowning out the booming sound of the skeletal giant palm's descent.

Countless phantoms of giant Ancient Dragon-Elephants manifested around Lu Yuan, roaring toward the sky, each seeming to possess the Divine Power to crush stars and suppress Hell.

These phantoms gathered together, forming an unstoppable golden torrent.

"Heavenly God Fist!"

Lu Yuan took a deep breath, clenched his right fist, and punched out fiercely.

This punch channeled the supreme grand power of the Ancient Paradise.

A vast holy radiance instantly gathered on the fist's edge; that radiance was pure and scorching, as if countless Six-Winged Angels were chanting battle songs in the Void Realm, purifying all evil and darkness in the world.

As the punch was thrown, heaven and earth turned white.

A massive white beam of light, like a rising sun, carrying the holy power to purify everything, slammed fiercely against that sun-blotting skeletal giant palm.

"Overestimating yourself!"

From within the skeletal giant palm, the True Immortal's evil intent residing inside let out a cold snort full of disdain.

The voice was like rolling thunder, making the Void Realm tremble.

In its view, although Lu Yuan had some tricks, he was ultimately just a Mortal being.

A mere Mortal body daring to clash head-on with the might of a True Immortal with its Physical Body was simply like an ant trying to shake a giant tree—ridiculously overestimating its own strength!

However, the next moment.

*Bang—!!!*

Fist and palm collided.

With a loud bang like metal clashing, that skeletal giant palm, carrying endless momentum and being unstoppable, actually came to a dead stop in mid-air under Lu Yuan's world-dominating punch!

At the center point of the collision, space instantly collapsed, forming a massive black hole.

The terrifying energy shockwaves, like visible ripples, spread wildly in all directions, completely tearing and shattering the clouds above Taichu Divine City, revealing the pitch-black and deep Void Realm turbulence.

Even Taichu Divine City below shook violently under the impact of this aftershock, the light screen of the City-Protecting Array flickering and emitting a tooth-aching creak.

"What?!"

From deep within the hand bone, the True Immortal's evil intent let out a cry of surprise and doubt.

It could clearly feel that the power erupting from that tiny, ant-like body was actually condensed to the extreme, not inferior in the slightest to the pure Physical Body strength contained within this True Immortal hand bone!

"How is this possible?! How could a Mortal body possess such terrifying power?!"

"It... it was blocked?!"

In Taichu Divine City below, the people who had originally closed their eyes to wait for death opened them one after another upon hearing this loud bang.

When they saw the skeletal giant palm stalled in the air and that steadfast white-clothed figure, cheers of surviving a disaster instantly erupted.

"It was blocked! Ancestor Qingyun blocked it!"

"So strong! Is this the strength of the Void Immortal Realm? It's simply like a god descending to the world!"

In the crowd, Jiang Hao stared fixedly at that majestic figure in the sky, his face pale, his body trembling uncontrollably.

He had always thought that Lu Yuan was only one major Realm higher than him, and as long as he cultivated hard, he would surely surpass him in the future.

But looking at it now, how was this just being a little stronger? This was simply the difference between clouds and mud, a chasm between heaven and earth!

Clashing with a True Immortal hand bone with bare hands!

This kind of combat power, even if those legendary old monsters at the Peak of the Void Immortal Realm who had lived for tens of thousands of years came, they might not be able to do it with such ease!
