435: Chapter 435 Trying to outdo me in madness? I'll pin you to the rocks and beat you!

"Boom—!"

In the deepest depths of the Guixu seabed, a dull roar erupted, powerful enough to shake stars into powder.

Xu Chen's iron fist, shimmering with purple-gold divine light, collided head-on with Li Cangyue's ten fingernails—which were like dark-red demonic blades—in the cold seawater.

Under the power of this punch, the surrounding viscous chaotic seawater was forcibly pushed away, creating an absolute vacuum zone spanning tens of thousands of feet.

A violent shockwave swept in all directions, even sending the incredibly heavy Chaos Black Coffin flying.

In a collision of pure strength, the superior was immediately apparent.

Xu Chen stood where he was, his figure as steady as an ancient divine mountain, his breathing not even slightly disturbed.

In contrast, Li Cangyue's pale and alluring body was sent flying back like a cannonball by Xu Chen's unreasonable punch.

She smashed through dozens of massive black undersea reefs before barely managing to steady herself.

Shen Xi, encased in a purple-gold light shield, watched this scene with her heart racing uncontrollably. She knew how terrifying the taboo Devil Emperor of the previous era was; even after being sealed for endless ages, her Physical Body's strength was absolutely far beyond that of a Great Emperor of the current world.

Yet the man who had forcibly possessed her had repelled such a malevolent being with just a straight punch.

"Such hard bones..."

From the ruins in the distance, Li Cangyue slowly raised her head.

Her waterfall-like black hair was covered in stone chips and demonic blood. That punch just now had not only shattered three of her right hand's fingernails but also caused the bones of her entire right arm to let out an overwhelmed groan.

Any ordinary Cultivator would have retreated after such a heavy injury.

But she was Li Cangyue.

She possessed the Devouring Demon Body, a peerless madwoman who sustained war through war.

Instead of making her shrink back, the pain thoroughly ignited the ferocity in her bones.

"Fragrant... so fragrant!"

Li Cangyue stuck out her scarlet tongue and licked the blood from her hand; in her crimson eyes, the light of greed and madness grew even more intense.

Completely ignoring her fractured right arm, a beast-like low growl escaped her throat.

Her feet kicked off the Void Realm once again.

This time, her speed was thirty percent faster than before. She turned into a swirling black storm, pouncing at Xu Chen without any technique, yet every move was lethal.

No longer restricted to fists and kicks, she used her hands, feet, and even her teeth as weapons. She was like a starving she-wolf in the wilderness, attempting to tear a piece of meat from her prey.

Watching the madwoman pounce without restraint, the tyranny in Xu Chen's eyes was also ignited.

"Competing in craziness with this Emperor?"

Xu Chen sneered and directly withdrew the mana shield from his body.

The Great Emperor Peak Hongmeng Creation Origin Body fully awakened.

His muscle lines bulged under his black inner shirt, and his purple-gold blood surged out, turning into lifelike True Dragon phantoms circling his body.

"I'll break your dog teeth today!"

Instead of retreating, Xu Chen charged forward, plunging straight into the black storm.

Dull sounds of physical combat, like rapid war drums, thundered madly in the undersea abyss.

Xu Chen blocked Li Cangyue's sweeping long leg and followed up with an elbow strike, slamming it heavily into her abdomen.

Li Cangyue cried out in pain, but using the force, her body twisted strangely in mid-air. Her pale, exquisite face suddenly drew close, her mouth opened to reveal forest-white teeth, and she bit down hard on Xu Chen's shoulder.

"Hiss—"

Xu Chen hissed through his teeth.

This woman's teeth were unusually hard; she had actually managed to bite through his invulnerable Grandmist skin, tasting traces of sweet Emperor Blood.

Tasting blood made Li Cangyue even more crazed.

Her long, firm jade legs wrapped tightly around Xu Chen's waist like an octopus, while her hands gripped his back firmly.

Simultaneously, a terrifyingly strange suction erupted from her mouth clamped on Xu Chen's shoulder and from every inch of their touching skin.

The Devouring Demon Body was driven by instinct.

She wanted to forcibly drain the ocean-like Hongmeng Origin within Xu Chen!

In the distant Void Realm.

Seeing this, no matter how much confidence Shen Xi had in Xu Chen, she couldn't help but clench her fists.

The Celestial Records stated clearly that once the Devouring Demon Body engaged in close combat, unless the opponent could instantly shatter it, their Origin would drain away like water from a broken dam until they became a withered corpse.

"Sucking my Origin?"

Pinned by Li Cangyue, Xu Chen showed no panic; instead, the smile on his lips became extremely cold.

The deep, boundless cosmic black hole within Xu Chen's body roared open.

The Great Perfection Realm Heaven Swallowing Demonic Art began operating at its maximum capacity at this moment.

If Li Cangyue's Devouring Demon Body was a flowing river...

...then Xu Chen's Heaven Swallowing Demonic Art was a cosmic Universe abyss capable of swallowing all light and matter!

Two devouring forces, sharing the same Origin yet distinctly different, engaged in a perilous tug-of-war across their tightly pressed bodies.

After less than a breath of stalemate.

In Li Cangyue's crimson eyes, an undisguisable look of terror suddenly appeared.

She was horrified to find that not only had she failed to suck even a drop of blood from this man, but her own parched taboo Origin was instead surging madly into his body in a reverse flow.

"No... let go..."

Li Cangyue finally sensed the fatal danger; she released her bite and tried to retract her legs from Xu Chen's waist to create distance.

"Want to run now? Too late!"

Xu Chen would never give her the chance to retreat unscathed.

His iron-like large hands grabbed Li Cangyue's slender waist, his fingers digging into the soft flesh like steel nails.

Under the absolute gap in strength and Cultivation Technique suppression, all of Li Cangyue's resistance was in vain.

Gripping the taboo Devil Emperor's waist, Xu Chen's figure suddenly flipped in the water. Like a tiger descending a mountain with thunderous momentum, he headed straight for the sharp chaotic reef below.

"Get down there for this Emperor!"

Accompanied by a loud shout.

Xu Chen treated Li Cangyue like a human sandbag, slamming her hard onto a massive black reef.

"Boom!"

The incredibly hard chaotic reef was smashed into a crater several fathoms deep. Rubble flew, and Devilish Qi dissipated.

The massive recoil caused a sweet taste in Li Cangyue's throat as she spat out a mouthful of dark-red lifeblood, staining her pale chin and her tattered Emperor Robes.

"Roar—!"

Unwilling to be humiliated, the remaining demonic power in Li Cangyue's body rioted wildly in a final struggle.

Xu Chen didn't give her a moment to breathe.

He directly straddled Li Cangyue's waist, pinning her flailing hands firmly to the reef above her head.

Then, Xu Chen raised his right hand.

"Smack!"

A crisp yet dull sound echoed in the undersea abyss.

Xu Chen delivered a solid slap to Li Cangyue's perky buttocks.

This single strike caused the seabed to fall into absolute silence.

Shen Xi, protected in the light shield in the distance, stared blankly at the scene on the reef, her dark-gold eyes filled with disbelief.

That was the taboo Devil Emperor of the previous era, whom even the Heavenly Dao feared!

Now, she was being spanked on a reef by this man like a misbehaving child?!

"Eating people?"

Xu Chen sneered and raised his hand for another heavy strike.

"Smack!"

"This slap is for your recklessness, daring to open your mouth at this Emperor!"

Li Cangyue's pale face instantly turned flushed red, whether from pain or this unprecedented humiliation.

She was like a fish out of water, struggling and twisting violently on the reef, yet she could never escape the suppression of the mountain on her back.

"Smack!"

"This slap is for acting like a mad dog, without any discipline!"

Xu Chen delivered slap after slap, his force perfectly controlled. It was enough to make the Devil Emperor feel burning pain without crippling her perfect body.

Pure suppression, combined with the Heaven Swallowing Demonic Art's grip on her Origin.

After a series of strikes, Li Cangyue's once-unrivaled malevolence was completely broken.

After receiving over a dozen heavy blows.

Li Cangyue finally stopped struggling.

Her wild black hair was scattered across the reef, and her tattered dark-red Emperor Robes couldn't cover the large expanses of snow-white skin on her back.

No longer did beast-like growls come from her throat; instead, they were replaced by rapid, heavy breaths.

Xu Chen stopped his movements, still straddling her back, one hand firmly pinning her wrists.

He lowered his head, looking at the exquisite side-profile of her face pressed against the reef, twitching slightly from pain and humiliation.

"Why aren't you biting anymore?"

Xu Chen squeezed the back of her neck, forcing her to turn her head and look at him.

"This flesh of mine—can you still stomach it?"
