497: Chapter 497: Dainichi Takuten

Yun Hao's face was gloomy. He had originally intended to toy with her and then disgust Xiao Chen, but he hadn't expected his opponent to have so many tricks up her sleeve.

He immediately formed hand seals, his body surging with golden light that transformed into ten thousand golden threads, piercing through nine water curtains and striking toward the distance.

Suddenly, a streak of golden sword qi pierced through the clouds and descended from the sky, severing all the golden threads flying from Yun Hao's palm.

Yun Hao was caught off guard by this strike, and his figure was sent flying backward.

After steadying himself, he discovered a white-clothed figure standing in the air ahead. The handsome face made even him feel a surge of jealousy.

When Bing Xueer saw the figure she had been longing for day and night, tears uncontrollably fell from her eyes. Fortunately, she hadn't given up!

She had originally been prepared to self-detonate rather than leave her points to Yun Hao.

"Snow, retreat to the back." Xiao Chen turned his head and signaled her to stand by Dan Rui's side.

"Mhm."

Yun Hao stood in the air with his arms crossed, his face full of contempt. "Xiao Chen, you've finally appeared! This Young Master thought you had been eliminated!"

"It seems the last failure didn't teach you a lesson."

"Hmph!"

Yun Hao sneered, his face filled with disdain. "This time, this Young Master will wash away my previous humiliation and make you the biggest joke in the history of the Heavenly Pride Battle!"

"Is that so?"

Xiao Chen's gaze was icy. Holding his longsword, he shot out instantly, the sword transforming into a golden sword qi dozens of zhang high in mid-air.

With the speed of a thunderbolt, it slashed down toward him.

A towering Battle Intent surged in Yun Hao's eyes. His body was covered in golden pulse lines, and a golden fist qi met that golden sword qi from his sandbag-sized fist.

"Boom!"

A world-shaking roar erupted as the dazzling profound light dyed the world golden. The shockwave exploded, instantly turning the surrounding thousand miles into ruins.

Spatial fragments flew wildly, mountain Peaks collapsed instantly, and the ground caved into a deep pit. A towering ancient tree three zhang in diameter was easily snapped in half by the aftershock.

Two figures were sent flying back at the same time.

The onlookers in the distance were in a panic, hiding everywhere.

Yun Hao's Battle Intent was sky-high, his eyes filled with ruthlessness as he looked up and shouted:

"Archaic Golden Body!"

In an instant, streaks of golden light overflowed from his body, quickly filling his entire form like golden blood flowing through his meridians.

The next moment, his body rapidly enlarged, transforming into a ten-zhang-tall golden body.

"Glazed Golden Body!"

Xiao Chen shouted as his body expanded rapidly, also reaching ten zhang in height. His full muscles were clearly defined like a sculpture, shimmering with a glazed luster.

At the same time, streaks of golden profound light spread from his palms, forming ten layers of protective shields around him.

"You..."

Yun Hao's eyes were full of shock as he pointed at Xiao Chen. "You... you actually dare to steal and learn the defense secret technique of the Gangli Clan!"

The onlookers in the distance were also too stunned to speak.

"Dumbass."

Xiao Chen glanced at him indifferently. "I have no need to steal. You think everyone is like you, even stealing their Sacred Body!"

"I'll kill you!"

Yun Hao's eyes nearly split with rage as he shot forward, swinging his golden fist in a massive blast.

Xiao Chen leaped up and swung his giant fist to meet the attack, not falling behind in the slightest.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The sounds of fist qi colliding exploded between heaven and earth.

The direct collision of the two golden bodies caused the clouds to churn and the mountains to shatter. Every punch thrown caused the surrounding space to collapse into a black hole.

The two engaged in the most brutal close-quarters combat, fighting from the high sky to the ground, and then back to the sky.

For a time, it was difficult to tell who had the upper hand.

The mountain Peaks within a thousand miles all collapsed, completely turned into ruins under the sweep of the shockwaves.

"World-shining Golden Lotus!"

Yun Hao roared at the sky. He could not tolerate another person being able to rival his Archaic Sacred Body in the Physical Body Realm!

As the colors in his pupils shifted, his eyes seemed to evolve with all things, and a zhang-wide golden lotus quietly bloomed beneath his feet.

As the golden lotus swayed, it released a terrifying high temperature that quickly spread, causing Xiao Chen's ten layers of protective shields to show signs of melting.

"Fire, come out."

At Xiao Chen's call, the Earth Flame True Fire surged from his chest, quickly condensing into an indestructible layer of flame armor over his body from top to bottom.

In just a moment, the scorching heat of the golden lotus was dispelled.

At the same time, Xiao Chen was surprised to find that the Earth Flame True Fire was actually absorbing the energy of the golden lotus to strengthen itself.

"That works too?"

Xiao Chen was overjoyed. No wonder it was called a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object; she could absorb any energy that was beneficial to her.

"Dammit!"

Yun Hao was exasperated. That single World-shining Golden Lotus split into countless small golden lotuses, blocking all of Xiao Chen's paths of retreat in the blink of an eye.

Each golden lotus released a golden thread, connecting them all to form a golden cage that locked him in tightly.

"Purple Heaven Demon Breaking!"

Xiao Chen murmured softly. Holding his silver sword, his body was covered in purple lightning power as he spun rapidly.

He transformed into a conical lightning storm filled with destructive power, instantly darting into a spatial rift.

"You want to try that move again?"

Yun Hao sneered, and streaks of golden fist qi were violently thrown out, shattering the space for a thousand miles around.

Xiao Chen's figure, wrapped in purple lightning, was revealed.

The conical lightning storm shot forward but was struck by Yun Hao's punch.

However, what he hit was only Xiao Chen's fist qi. As the two fist qis collided, a golden sword qi blasted into Yun Hao's back.

"Boom!"

A deafening explosion rang out. Under this pincer attack from front and back, the Archaic Cage was instantly crushed.

Even the final barrier of the Archaic Sacred Body shattered. Both figures were sent flying, their clothes torn to shreds.

Steadying himself, Yun Hao showed a look of horror. "You lowly ant, you can actually use Soul Division Control?"

Simultaneously controlling two or more secret techniques was called Soul Division Control. Although it could provide double the combat power, it required an extremely high Soul Realm.

"You found out too late!"

"Hmph!"

Yun Hao still looked disdainful as he clenched his palm toward the Void Realm. "Then let me show you this Young Master's Peak combat power!"

As his voice fell, a crack suddenly tore open in the Void Realm behind Yun Hao, and ten golden suns slowly rose from within.

Arranged in a ring, they rotated slowly.

Each sun emitted a blinding light, reflecting a terrifyingly high temperature enough to melt steel. The air for a thousand miles around completely distorted and deformed at this moment.

The ground quickly cracked, and all vegetation turned to ash.

The onlookers in the distance only took a glance before feeling a sharp pain in their eyes, and they quickly moved further away.

"Great Sun Incinerating the Heavens, activate!"

With Yun Hao's angry shout, those ten suns suddenly burst with even more dazzling light. Within each sun stood a blurred phantom.

The ten golden phantoms exuded the pressure of the primordial Universe with every movement, as if they could incinerate the entire world with a single thought.
