22: Chu Ying VS Ancient Saint Body

“Hiss!”

“Chu Ying is only qualified to be his whetstone? Oh my god! Isn't this Ancient Sacred Body a bit too arrogant?”

“Holy crap! There's a rumor that Ye Junfan has already won the Holy Daughter's heart, and before this, Chu Ying was always recognized as the Holy Daughter's lick… ahem, suitor. Could it be that they are destined to clash?”

“There’s a good show to watch! The Ancient Sacred Body’s half-step two-forbidden combat power is definitely real, but Chu Ying’s situation isn't clear yet. Earlier, Su Yichen said he seemed to have cultivated some Martial Skill with extreme backlash but immense power…”

“……”

On Wu Dou Peak, both the Quasi-Saint Children involved and the forty-nine Quasi-Holy Daughters watching from the sidelines took a deep breath.

They held their breath, focusing intently on this battle!

Chu Ying looked at Ye Junfan, who was walking towards him, and suddenly smiled playfully, “Is the Ancient Sacred Body’s cultivation going smoothly?”

Ye Junfan immediately frowned.

What did that mean? Did he know about his cultivation going awry?

Thinking of the inexplicable cultivation backlash he had suffered these past few days, leading to severe injuries and spitting blood, he couldn't help but feel enraged.

So he snorted coldly, his gaze dark as he spoke, “I will make you see clearly. You are not only unqualified to sit in the position of Saint Son, but even more unqualified to pursue Yaoxi!”

As his words fell.

Ye Junfan immediately made his move.

His figure transformed into afterimages as he moved, and behind him, a golden ocean surged with faintly visible phenomena, where golden lotuses seemed to bloom.

For a moment, a magnificent and heavy pressure filled the air.

“Could that be the phenomenon that comes with the Ancient Sacred Body—the Sea of Bitterness Cultivates Golden Lotuses?”

“My goodness! With such a phenomenon, it’s probably no less powerful than unleashing a top-grade Martial Skill, right?”

Someone’s eyes widened, and they instinctively cried out in surprise.

“Legend says that only monstrous talents with supreme Physiques can Cultivate unique phenomena. Once a phenomenon appears, it suppresses peers, and no one can contend with them!”

Others spoke with gleaming eyes, filled with both envy and awe.

“A phenomenon can be called a Domain, but only Saint Lord-level powerhouses can control a Domain. This Ancient Sacred Body is going against the heavens!”

The top ten Quasi-Saint Children looked extremely solemn. The mere display from Ye Junfan was enough to give them a headache.

Even without Chu Ying, if they were to face Ye Junfan, they wouldn't fare well.

“Boom!!!”

Before anyone could clearly see what happened, an earth-shattering collision exploded on Wu Dou Peak.

At some unknown moment, Chu Ying’s fist had already collided with Ye Junfan’s!

“An even match?!” Someone was greatly surprised when they saw that both figures remained motionless.

“The Sea of Bitterness Cultivates Golden Lotuses phenomenon wasn't included in Ye Junfan's half-step two-forbidden combat power level, so his true strength might be even more terrifying, but Chu Ying…”

Ye Junfan was surprised, not expecting the other party to be able to block his punch.

“I presume you haven't witnessed a phenomenon before? I can give you, this whetstone, the good fortune to experience it!” Ye Junfan laughed loudly, golden light surging around his body.

His Physical Body was extremely powerful; this was the Ancient Sacred Body’s invincible advantage at the same level!

The two separated, then collided once more.

Black and purple lightning foxes coiled around Ye Junfan’s fist, seemingly a terrifying thunder-attribute killing Martial Skill.

“My goodness! Could this be the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Fist? Ye Junfan can actually Cultivate it?”

“No, it should be the simplified version, the Minor Divine Thunder Fist, one of the ten great Profound-tier Low Grade Martial Skills!”

After someone explained, many Quasi-Saint Children felt a chill down their spines.

Profound-tier Low Grade Martial Skills were not easy to Cultivate, especially the ten most powerful ones, and it was said that this Minor Divine Thunder Fist required drawing heavenly lightning to Cultivate.

But who among normal people would dare to draw heavenly lightning? Wouldn't that be asking for trouble!

It was precisely because its cultivation was too demanding that it was rated as Profound-tier Low Grade; otherwise, it would definitely be higher.

“No wonder, once this fist is unleashed, it’s as if the heavens are above. Perhaps Ye Junfan cultivated it by drawing a wisp of tribulation lightning during his tribulation.”

The Ancient Sacred Body needed to undergo tribulation! Because it had Nine Tribulation Restraints!

This was a recognized fact, so it was not surprising.

But then, those discussing it froze in their tracks.

“In terms of fist power, I am weaker than you?”

Within Chu Ying’s body, the fierce power of Dragon Subduing Tiger Taming Skill was unleashed, and he employed Seven Emotions Disturbing Desire Fist with the enhancement of Azure Luan Treasure Technique!

Seven Emotions Disturbing Desire Fist, first disrupt his “joy, anger, sorrow, thought, grief, fear, and shock”!

At this instant, Ye Junfan’s expression suddenly changed.

He felt a terrifying force, irresistible, and instantly his emotions and Dao Heart became turbulent!

With their fists colliding, he was actually forced back several steps, his body swaying unsteadily, his footing quite unstable.

At this moment, seven turbulent emotions intensified in his mind. His consciousness fluctuated between joy and sorrow, fear and unease, not knowing why he was sad, angry, or worried.

“Pfft!”

Finally, he could no longer bear it. His mind was wounded, and coupled with the tremor in his internal organs, he spat out a mouthful of crimson blood.

“What the hell?! The Ancient Sacred Body is injured after just two punches?”

“Didn’t they say this guy was invincible at the same level? How is he so weak even after using his phenomenon?”

Many people widened their eyes, finding it unbelievable.

And some of Ye Junfan’s supporters were even more incredulous. The Ancient Sacred Body, who had risen from obscurity and endured the trials and tribulations of heaven and earth, had long been an inspiring role model in their hearts.

They were among those who most wished to see Ye Junfan win.

Yao Ruoxi saw this scene, and her delicate brows subtly furrowed.

“You merely got lucky, don’t get cocky!” After Ye Junfan stabilized his mind, he was extremely furious. He, the dignified Ancient Sacred Body, had actually suffered such a great loss!

He activated the Holy Body’s power, strengthening his Physical Body, and enhancing his speed and reactions in all aspects, with the Sea of Bitterness Cultivates Golden Lotuses phenomenon adding to his power.

At the same time, a seemingly illusory, profound yellow small cauldron rushed out from his spiritual sea.

“Myriad Material Mother Qi Cauldron!”

Ye Junfan gritted his teeth. Although his nascent small cauldron had not yet been successfully tempered and solidified, it could still be used.

This cauldron suppressed everything!

Using the cauldron as a fist, the rapidly spinning small cauldron charged towards Chu Ying like a meteor, with sparks visibly rubbing against the air.

But no matter how fast the small cauldron was, it was not as fast as Chu Ying!

Azure Luan Swift Shadow!

A clear phoenix cry echoed, and a Cave Heaven completely materialized behind Chu Ying.

Within the Cave Heaven, the divine and beautiful true phoenix branch—the Azure Luan—circled and danced!

“How could this be…”

Gazing at that Azure Luan Dharma Idol, Yao Ruoxi’s beautiful eyes suddenly narrowed, filled with incredible shock.

“What a beautiful divine beast! Could that be the legendary Azure Luan mythical beast? A branch of the true phoenix, one of the Archaic Ten Fiends?!”

Lin Zhixue looked at the Azure Luan phantom, her eyes sparkling brightly.

“Wait… Is this an extraordinary Dharma Idol?” Elder Lu Lin, the Elder of Wu Dou Peak who was serving as the referee, suddenly widened his eyes.

Above ninth-grade Dharma Idols were extraordinary ones! But very few people had the fortune to condense an extraordinary one!

Talent was one factor, and fortune and resources were another!

Even many Holy Land magnates had not been able to condense an extraordinary Dharma Idol in the Cave Heaven Realm…

“Extreme speed represents penetrative power!”

Chu Ying’s mouth curved into a grin.

At this moment, Seven Emotions Disturbing Desire Fist reached mastery.

Disrupt my seven emotions!

Disturb my six desires!

Kill the enemy and destroy oneself!

Souls scattered and spirits flown!

Even Chu Ying himself felt his mind somewhat chaotic and dazed, but it was only for an instant.

Because all the side effects of cultivating Seven Emotions Disturbing Desire Fist were transferred out!

Below the stage, Xiao Yan and Su Yichen, who had been defeated by him, inexplicably had their pupils turn crimson. Their seven emotions and six desires erupted in a chaotic mix, causing their minds to violently fluctuate, shocking them into quickly taking medicine to stabilize and heal themselves.

On the stage.

Ye Junfan’s pupils constricted sharply.

The Myriad Material Mother Qi small cauldron, which had not yet fully solidified, was fiercely sent flying back by Chu Ying!

And his mind instantly suffered a heavy blow!
