165: Chapter 165 The Fool with a Missing Brainstem?

"Ant, kneel before this old man!"

Zhao Wuji roared.

Boom!

The pressure of a Half-step Body Integration Stage Cultivator, like an overwhelming tsunami, bore down on Cao Kun.

Amidst the rolling Qi waves,

The bluestones on the long street cracked layer by layer, turning into powder.

Dense cracks appeared on the walls of the shops on both sides.

Even the surrounding air emitted unbearable popping sounds.

The Cultivators watching from afar held their breath.

A Soul Transformation Early Stage Cultivator facing Half-step Body Integration pressure would surely have their bones shattered on the spot.

However,

In the center of the long street, the dust settled.

Cao Kun's back remained perfectly straight.

The Emperor Primordial Spirit within him slowly circulated.

Vast, domineering, and unrivaled Imperial Dao Law emanated from his body.

At the same time,

The Domain power of the Paradise Desire Realm silently unfolded within three feet of his body.

A flash of pink and dark gold intertwined light appeared and vanished.

Zhao Wuji's terrifying Half-step Body Integration Stage pressure collided with the barrier three feet around Cao Kun.

It instantly dissipated into nothingness.

This scene made the Cultivators watching from the tall buildings in the distance collectively gasp.

"What's going on?!"

"He withstood it? That was Half-step Body Integration Stage pressure!"

"That just now... seemed to be a Domain?!"

"How can a Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator unleash a Domain! This is impossible!"

On the top floor of Treasure Pavilion.

Pei Qinglan stood before the heavenly observation mirror.

Her rosy lips were slightly parted.

"It really is a complete Domain that can be freely deployed and retracted!"

"Empress Yue Chan's conjecture was correct, Young Master Cao must possess an Ultimate Divine Item capable of unfolding a Domain!"

"No wonder he's so fearless!"

Only an ancient divine item could explain such a miracle of ignoring pressure across two major Realms.

On the long street.

Zhao Wuji's old face stiffened, and a strong sense of unease rose in his heart.

This young man was too sinister.

Just as he was filled with doubt and about to directly make a move and unleash a killing blow,

Cao Kun released Yu Linglong's hand.

He walked directly to a spot ten steps away from Zhao Wuji and Xiao Zhe, then stopped.

"Oh, who do we have here?"

"Isn't this the big sucker from Taichu Holy Land?"

Cao Kun's voice traveled far into the night sky.

Ensuring that every bystander could hear it clearly:

"Not sleeping in the middle of the night, standing here like a door god for me?"

"You... you're presumptuous!"

Xiao Zhe trembled with anger, the knuckles of his sword-holding hand cracking.

Cao Kun completely ignored him, sizing up the two with a sympathetic gaze reserved for the mentally challenged.

He continued to unleash his infuriatingly sarcastic remarks:

"Spending a million Top-Grade Spirit Stones to buy a useless piece of scrap metal that can't be refined."

"At this very moment, in the dead of night, looking back at the past..."

"Don't you two feel like brainstem-deficient idiots?"

After Xiao Zhe heard Cao Kun's phrase "brainstem-deficient idiots," his rationality completely evaporated.

He, the esteemed Saint of Taichu Holy Land,

A renowned Prodigy on the Central State Prodigy List, had never suffered such humiliation.

"Die for me!"

Xiao Zhe's eyes were bloodshot, abandoning even the demeanor of a Holy Land successor.

Void Refining Early Stage spiritual power poured into his sword.

It thrust directly towards Cao Kun's glabella.

He wanted to instantly kill this arrogant Soul Transformation Early Stage brat with one move, to wash away tonight's humiliation.

Facing this sudden attack,

Cao Kun chuckled softly.

The Paradise Desire Realm fully unfolded.

The spatial rules within a hundred-zhang radius were forcibly rewritten.

Pink mist permeated the long street, and seductive music echoed in the night sky.

The Chaos Heavenly Fox Supreme Physique and the Paradise Desire Realm resonated perfectly.

Yu Linglong's aura surged rapidly.

In less than half a breath, her spiritual power fluctuations directly rose to a level comparable to the Void Refining Early Stage.

Facing Xiao Zhe's deadly sword strike,

Yu Linglong raised two fair and tender fingers.

Without deviation, she lightly pinched it.

"Clang!"

A crisp sound.

The long sword, imbued with the full power of a Void Refining Early Stage Cultivator, was forcefully halted in mid-air.

The sword tip was still three inches from Cao Kun's nose, and the chilling Sword Qi only ruffled the stray hairs on his forehead.

It could no longer advance an inch!

"This... how is this possible!"

Xiao Zhe desperately channeled his spiritual power, wanting to pull the sword back, but the sword remained motionless.

A Soul Transformation Middle Stage demoness, blocking his full-powered Void Refining Early Stage sword strike with her bare hands?

An illusion! This was definitely an illusion!

Cao Kun looked at Xiao Zhe's disbelieving expression, yawned in disdain, and waved his hand lazily:

"Linglong, deal with this little punk. Don't let him be an eyesore here."

"This master has no time to bother with him."

"As you wish, Master~"

Yu Linglong responded sweetly.

But her actions were incredibly ruthless.

Her fingers, clamping the blade, flicked, and a light purple spiritual power surged back along the blade.

"Ah!"

Xiao Zhe felt an intense pain in his tiger's mouth, and the long sword flew out of his hand.

Before he could react, Yu Linglong delivered a backhand slap.

With a crisp 'slap' sound.

The slap landed squarely on Xiao Zhe's face.

The immense force directly sent him flying off the ground, spinning three times in mid-air.

Then he heavily crashed onto the bluestones a dozen steps away, two of his front teeth shattering on the spot.

Zhao Wuji, standing behind, witnessed all of this.

His Saint taking such a huge loss in one exchange filled him with shock and anger.

A Soul Transformation Early Stage Cultivator, capable of controlling such a complete Domain?

Not only suppressing opponents but also allowing his maid to fight across Realms?!

Such a thing could not be found in hundreds of thousands of years of ancient records throughout Central State!

Zhao Wuji dared not be arrogant any longer.

He immediately unleashed his Scarlet Rock Fire Domain, attempting to regain control of the surrounding space.

However,

The grade of the Paradise Desire Realm was simply too high.

As soon as his Domain unfolded, it was suppressed to within a one-zhang radius around him, teetering precariously.

His Realm was two major stages higher, yet his Domain clash was at a disadvantage!

"This child must not be allowed to live!"

Zhao Wuji's killing intent surged.

He conjured his Lifebound Treasure, the thunder flame tower, from his Storage Ring.

This was a genuine Half-step Body Integration Stage Magic Treasure.

The small tower rapidly expanded against the wind, growing to ten zhang tall.

Its body was entwined with violent purple lightning and crimson flames.

The overwhelming firelight illuminated the night as if it were daytime.

The buildings within a hundred-zhang radius even began to melt under this terrifying high temperature!

"Suppress him for this old man!"

Zhao Wuji's hair stood on end, his face contorted ferociously.

The thunder flame tower, carrying world-destroying power, smashed down fiercely towards Cao Kun's head.

With this strike, he drained seventy percent of the spiritual power in his body.

Let alone a Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator, even a Void Refining Peak Cultivator standing here.

Would be smashed into a puddle of flesh.

Facing the full-powered strike of a Half-step Body Integration Stage Cultivator, Cao Kun still did not retreat a single step.

His yin-yang dharma robe shone brightly.

Black and white Qi circulated around his body,

A Clone, identical to him and with the exact same aura, emerged from thin air.

Immediately after.

Above Cao Kun's main body, ripples appeared in the Void Realm.

An ancient Dao Wheel slowly emerged.

It was precisely the Top-Grade Immortal Artifact — the Myriad Laws Return to Silence Dao Wheel.

As soon as the Dao Wheel appeared, it began to rotate.

Cao Kun's main body and Clone simultaneously looked up.

Facing the descending thunder flame tower, they advanced instead of retreating, stepping into the air!

"Rumble!"

A deafening roar echoed through the night sky.

Violent black and red thunder flames completely engulfed Cao Kun and his Clone.

Terrifying shockwaves swept out, leveling the buildings on both sides of the long street.

"Hmph! You ignorant fool, daring to resist my thunder flame tower with your Physical Body!"

Zhao Wuji sneered.

But his smile lasted less than a breath before it froze on his face.

Amidst the sky-filling flames,

Cao Kun and his Clone were pushed back a dozen steps by the immense impact.

Leaving two deep furrows on the ground.

But!

They were completely unharmed!

The Myriad Laws Return to Silence Dao Wheel spun wildly above Cao Kun's head.

The violent thunder flame power transmitted from the tower was all absorbed by the Dao Wheel.

After being analyzed and transformed, it became gentle energy, feeding back into Cao Kun's limbs and bones.

Tempering his Physical Body and Divine Soul.

Cao Kun squinted his eyes comfortably.

"Old man, didn't you eat? This strength isn't even enough to scratch an itch for me."

He patted the dust off his shoulders, taunting him.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Zhao Wuji exclaimed in shock, his Dao Heart experiencing a violent tremor at this moment.

His full-powered strike as a Half-step Body Integration Stage Cultivator, using his Lifebound Treasure.

Couldn't even break through the defense of a Soul Transformation Early Stage Cultivator?

What level of Supreme Treasure was that azure wheel?

Could it be a legendary Immortal Artifact only found in the Upper Realm?!

On the distant pavilion,

The various Prodigies and old monsters secretly observing.

Were now collectively stunned into silence.

"He... he withstood it? Completely unharmed?!"

"Oh my goodness! That was the full-powered strike of a Half-step Body Integration Lifebound Treasure!"

"Let alone Soul Transformation, even a Void Refining Great Perfection Cultivator would be smashed into a meat paste!"

"What kind of monster is this Cao Kun! Is his Physical Body forged from true Dragon bones?!"

On the top floor of Treasure Pavilion.

Pei Qinglan stood before the heavenly observation mirror, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief.

She had originally thought that Cao Kun would rely on his mysterious Domain to contend with the Half-step Body Integration Stage Cultivator for a bit, then seize an opportunity to escape.

But she never expected that the other party wouldn't even dodge, directly using his Physical Body to withstand the killing blow!

"Empress Yue Chan, oh Empress Yue Chan, you've really set your sights on an extraordinary true Dragon this time..."

...

On the other side, Yu Linglong's battle was a complete one-sidedcrushing.

Xiao Zhe crawled out of the ruins, disheveled and bleeding from the corner of his mouth.

The Paradise Desire Realm was already filled with unsettling pink mist.

Being within it, his spiritual power circulated extremely slowly, unable to exert even seventy percent of his full strength.

Coupled with Yu Linglong's deliberately released fox clan charm, it only made things worse.

Even though Xiao Zhe was already bruised and swollen,

His eyes still couldn't help but glance at the fair legs beneath her slit skirt.

Each sway of her small feet, adorned with silver anklets,

Made Xiao Zhe, deeply ensnared in the Desire Realm, itch with unbearable longing.

"Little demoness... you're hitting this Saint so comfortably..."

He threw away his long sword, spread his arms, and staggered towards Yu Linglong like a dog in heat.

"Eww, so disgusting, stinky man, stay away from me."

Yu Linglong frowned in disgust.

"Crack!"

The sound of something shattering clearly rang out.

She raised her leg and delivered a devastating kick to his groin, sending Xiao Zhe flying into mid-air.

Immediately after, a sharp downward chop landed precisely on his nasal bridge.

"Bang!"

Xiao Zhe's nasal bone shattered instantly, nose bleeding profusely, and he fell backward.

Yu Linglong gave him no chance to catch his breath.

Her embroidered shoes rained down like a storm.

Targeting his face and lower body.

"Let you look!"

"Let you stare!"

"Let you point your sword at my Master!"

In just a few moves, the esteemed Saint of Taichu Holy Land was beaten like a dead dog, twitching on the ground, unable to even let out a scream.

Seeing the Saint's miserable state, Zhao Wuji's heart burned with anxiety.

Xiao Zhe was the most favored Personal Disciple of the Holy Lord of Taichu!

If he were crippled right under his nose.

He would definitely be in deep trouble when he returned to the Sect.

"Vile maid, stop! Release the Saint!"

Zhao Wuji roared, wanting to recall the thunder flame tower to rescue him.

But how could Cao Kun let this old bastard get his way?

"Old man, your opponent is me. Where do you think you're going?"

Cao Kun's cold voice sounded from behind.

His main body and Clone transformed into two streaks of light, one left and one right, cutting off Zhao Wuji's escape route.

"You hit me just now, now it's my turn."

Yu Linglong
