216: Chapter 216 You're Next
Chen Moxuan's two phantom images of the Overlord returned to his body. He channeled the Power of Heaven and Earth throughout his body, trembling violently, and broke free from Aaron's restraint in one go.
A soft green light emerged, covering the numerous shocking wounds on Chen Moxuan's body, beginning to repair the damage that hadn't had time to heal during his forced Breakthrough.
From the moment Chen Moxuan appeared, severed one of Andre's arms, and enraged him.
To using his Special Ability to interfere with the perception of Aaron and Andre, employing a feint to trick Aaron out of his control, and unleashing an offensive to beat the wide-open Andre into a mist of blood.
Everything happened in a brief moment of confrontation.
Lei Wanjun's mood also experienced massive fluctuations.
He swallowed the reprimand 'idiot' that was on his lips, stared at the figure blocking his view, his pupils trembling violently.
He perceived the power filling Chen Moxuan's entire body through his Spiritual Sense, and his heart was shocked again and again:
"Power of Heaven and Earth? It is not through technique... but the real Power of Heaven and Earth."
"This kid... what happened to those wounds? In these short dozen minutes, what exactly has he experienced?"
In such a short time, to go from the Middle Stage of the Tiangang Realm to the Spirit Ascension Realm.
Had he not seen it with his own eyes, Lei Wanjun would never have believed such an absurd thing.
Moreover, at this moment, Chen Moxuan's Aura was completely like a different person.
If the previous Chen Moxuan still carried some greenness lacking the tempering of life and death, then the current him seemed like a fierce Asura who had struggled out from the edge of life and death at the gates of hell countless times.
It was no wonder Lei Wanjun couldn't understand.
The Breakthrough method Chen Moxuan adopted was something no one in the entire history of martial arts could achieve except him.
It was a miracle that would be difficult to replicate even if he himself tried it again.
Under the dual effect of that terrifying Spirit Tide Storm and high-pressure gravity, Chen Moxuan exhausted all his strength to barely restore his body to a state where he only had one breath left.
During this time, he experienced hundreds of life-and-death tests where he nearly lost consciousness, each time feeling as if he were hovering on the edge of a cliff, potentially becoming a pile of lifeless rotten meat at any moment.
Perhaps, in countless parallel world lines, different possibilities existed.
There was a possibility where Chen Moxuan did not choose to step into C City again, but instead, during the long process of waiting for the next Transmigration, was exhausted by the frantic pursuit of Andre, who had recklessly absorbed the Soul of multiple cities.
And the members of the Madman Society were all wiped out by Aaron, who had freed up his hands during this period.
Chen Moxuan fell into a state of isolation and helplessness, and was finally captured after exhausting his strength.
Or perhaps, he hesitated too long before stepping into C City, failed to meet Mao Yutong and Shi Fei, and could only find a way to use his Special Ability to break into Lei Wanjun's Domain to assist him in battle.
Facing the well-conditioned Aaron and Andre, he was ultimately defeated by his opponents.
Or he met Mao Yutong and Shi Fei, but failed to persist within the Spirit Tide Storm and perished directly.
Or again, he successfully achieved a Breakthrough to the Spirit Ascension Realm in the Spirit Tide Storm, but because the timing was too late, Lei Wanjun had already perished.
Facing the two-man siege of the rested and recovered Andre and Aaron, after a fierce battle, he ultimately perished together with Andre.
Regardless, under Chen Moxuan's various choices and determinations, he had truly arrived here.
He had grasped the only possibility that could tip the scales of a perfect victory in his favor.
"You..."
Lei Wanjun opened his mouth with difficulty, wanting to say something to Chen Moxuan in front of him.
However, Chen Moxuan's voice reached Lei Wanjun's mind a step earlier.
"Senior, leave the rest to me, you should rest well."
Heart-Phase sound transmission?!
Lei Wanjun's heart jolted violently.
At this moment, he could no longer have the slightest doubt about the fact that Chen Moxuan had already stepped into the Spirit Ascension Realm.
This was a technique that could only be used after a Spirit Ascension Realm Martial Artist's spiritual bridge connected the Dantian and the spiritual platform, and the Heart-Phase World had evolved for the first time.
It was a communication method that only Spirit Ascension Realm Martial Artists who possessed a Heart-Phase World could use when in close proximity.
Completely different from Spiritual Sense transmission, this way of conveying information was so fast that it only took a moment of thought, and there was no possibility of it being intercepted.
But even if Chen Moxuan had really successfully achieved a Breakthrough to the Spirit Ascension Realm, there was still a gap between him and Aaron.
Having fought Aaron for a long time and knowing his prowess, Lei Wanjun knew best that Aaron's true terror lay in his absolute suppression of the weak.
If his own cultivation had been any worse, unable to break free from Aaron's control instantly, he would likely have been swiftly defeated under the siege of the two.
Although Chen Moxuan seized the gap in the enemy's defense and swiftly dealt with one person with lightning speed, displaying astonishing combat power.
But as long as Aaron was still alive, the risk of Chen Moxuan's defeat remained very high, which was worrying.
"I will tell you the intelligence I gathered while fighting that person, you must be careful yourself..."
Lei Wanjun struggled to support his body, responding to Chen Moxuan using the Heart-Phase sound transmission as well.
He knew that things had reached this point, and it was useless to say more.
At this moment, he was already at the end of his rope, without the strength to fight again, and could only try his best to help Chen Moxuan in other ways to increase his chances of winning.
While transmitting the information, a thick sense of drowsiness attacked Lei Wanjun's brain, making him instantly dizzy.
He was already exhausted, and being able to hold on until now was entirely due to that tenacious will in his heart.
It was just that he felt he could not lose consciousness yet; he had to witness this battle. Perhaps at some critical moment, there would still be somewhere he could help...
"Don't worry, Senior. Even if I can't beat him, I am confident in protecting myself."
While responding, Chen Moxuan secretly cast a sleeping spell he learned from Song Xin on Lei Wanjun.
If Lei Wanjun continued to force his body to maintain consciousness, it would only cause greater damage to his already riddled body.
In normal times, with Lei Wanjun's strength and concentration, this sleeping spell would naturally be difficult to take effect on him.
But for the current Lei Wanjun, this was the last straw that broke the camel's back, instantly shattering his last remaining persistence and causing him to fall into a deep sleep.
These things only happened within a few thoughts, and Chen Moxuan's gaze remained focused on Aaron.
The blood rain from Andre's death was still wantonly scattering in the air, wrapping the heavy air in a layer of deathly Aura.
"You actually managed to... kill Andre right in front of me..."
Aaron seemed to still be unable to believe it, his voice trembling slightly as he spoke.
A companion who had experienced countless battles and galloped across the battlefield for thousands of years had actually died right in front of him like this.
Chen Moxuan's gaze was fixed on the gloomy-faced Aaron, letting the blood rain hit his face:
"Don't worry, you are next."
He had just lied to Lei Wanjun.
Chen Moxuan had never considered the matter of being unable to beat him or protecting himself from the beginning to the end.
Admittedly, just as Lei Wanjun worried, the injuries Aaron suffered were not heavy, only his Mental Energy had been largely consumed.
Chen Moxuan's chances of winning against Aaron were still not high.
However, it was just that the odds of winning were not high.
He now had one trump card, with only one chance to use it, which could definitely defeat Aaron.
Aside from thinking of ways to create that one opportunity, there was no need to consider anything else.
