Chapter 559 - 237: Chaos Battle Body, Sundering the Earth and Opening the Heavens
Chapter 559: Chapter 237: Chaos Battle Body, Sundering the Earth and Opening the Heavens
"Alright."
Lin Ye nodded without the slightest hesitation.
He was also eager to find out what exactly his ten days of seclusion had earned him.
The two faced each other and took their stances.
Lin Ye remained bare-chested, standing straight and tall.
Jia Ying stood about three meters away from him.
This was the first time Lin Ye had so clearly faced the oppressive aura of a Celestial Human Realm expert.
It was an absolute suppression on a fundamental level of existence, like a sheep facing a tiger. The mere act of standing there sent every cell in his body screaming a warning.
"Watch out."
Jia Ying spoke in a low, unperturbed voice.
The next moment, he threw a seemingly casual punch forward.
There was no earth-shattering display of power; even the sound of it cutting through the air was negligible.
But this single, understated punch instantly compressed and warped the air before Lin Ye, forming a visible, transparent barrier that pressed down on his chest!
The fist had yet to land, but its power was already overwhelming!
Lin Ye’s eyes sharpened in an instant.
In the instant the force of the punch reached him, his thoughts raced as the core principles of his Cultivation Technique flowed through his mind.
Chaotic War Body!
Zhu Mingyi, who was standing to the side, saw only a blur.
In an instant, the skin of Lin Ye’s bare torso shifted from a healthy, tanned wheat color to a simple yet profound bronze sheen.
Every muscle knotted and bulged as if carved from granite, radiating a sense of explosive power.
An aura that even Zhu Mingyi found nostalgic—a desolate, primordial presence, as if from an ancient wilderness—erupted from Lin Ye!
THUD!
A dull impact resounded like the beat of a war drum.
Jia Ying’s punch, powerful enough to shatter mountains and crack stone, landed squarely on Lin Ye’s chest.
However, the expected scene of Lin Ye spitting blood and flying backward never came.
He only swayed slightly, sliding back two or three steps before steadying himself.
Completely unscathed!
For the first time, a flicker of shock crossed Jia Ying’s eternally stoic face.
He retracted his fist, glanced at his slightly numb knuckles, then looked at Lin Ye, who had only a shallow fist print on his chest. He fell silent.
"Excellent!"
A brilliant light erupted in Zhu Mingyi’s eyes!
"What terrifying Defense Power!"
He knew better than anyone that although Jia Ying had used less than fifty percent of his strength in that punch, it was still fifty percent of a Celestial Human Realm’s power!
Forget the Gang Condensation Realm; even an expert at Divine Realm Perfection would be severely injured, if not killed, by taking that punch head-on!
But Lin Ye was acting as if nothing had happened!
The bronze sheen on Lin Ye’s skin instantly faded, returning to his normal complexion.
His chest heaved slightly as he panted, his face an unnatural shade of red.
Zhu Mingyi knew this wasn’t an effect of Jia Ying’s punch.
On the contrary, it was the result of the massive amount of life force consumed by activating the Chaotic War Body.
And that was indeed the case.
The moment he activated the Chaotic War Body, Lin Ye had glanced at his status panel.
Jia Ying’s punch had only dealt less than 5,000 points of damage. Compared to his maximum Life Value of over five million, it was less than a scratch.
It was, in the truest sense, a complete defense.
But activating the Chaotic War Body for less than a second had instantly evaporated over 300,000 points of his Life Value!
The effect was heaven-defying, but the cost was equally astonishing!
Zhu Mingyi’s face was full of praise. "Even more than this terrifying Defense Power, the boost to your strength and speed while the Chaotic War Body is active is the most outrageous part."
"I’ve told you before, the last senior who practiced this Cultivation Technique managed to kill a Celestial Human Realm expert with a single punch while he was only at the Early Stage of Divine Realm."
"Of course, after that one punch, his life force withered away, and he lost a great deal of his lifespan, leading to his premature death at the age of eighty."
"But it’s enough to prove just how heaven-defying this Cultivation Technique is."
In the current Martial Dao Era,
eighty years old was only considered middle-aged.
It was an age for striving and hard work.
So, calling it a "premature death" was... plausible, in a way.
Zhu Mingyi’s gaze shifted between Lin Ye and Jia Ying as an even bolder idea surfaced in his mind.
"I want Jia Ying to test the power of your punch with the Chaotic War Body active."
"Don’t worry. For the life force and lifespan you expend, I’ll have Wei pick out the best life-extending Spiritual Object from the treasury to compensate you!"
At these words, Jia Ying, who had been silent all this time, showed an almost imperceptible flicker in his eyes.
Although his expression and demeanor remained calm, Lin Ye still keenly detected a trace of... apprehension from him.
That’s right.
A genuine Celestial Human Realm expert.
Was actually feeling a trace of apprehension toward a junior who hadn’t even reached the Divine Realm!
With the experience from a moment ago, Lin Ye’s understanding of the Chaotic War Body deepened.
Ultimately, it was a lever—using life force to pry open a higher level of power.
The more life force one was willing to expend, the more terrifying the power one could obtain in a short burst.
And if there was one thing he didn’t lack, it was life force!
Lin Ye took a deep breath and assumed a stance. This time, it was his turn to attack.
"Senior Jia Ying, I won’t hold back then."
He looked at Jia Ying, his gaze more focused than ever before.
Jia Ying didn’t speak, but his body had already given the most honest reaction.
His feet shifted slightly apart as he lowered his center of gravity. The energy around him circulated, and an invisible force field instantly enveloped his entire body.
Clearly, he had cast aside all condescension and was now treating Lin Ye as a true opponent of the same level.
