Chapter 463 - Large Battle
Chapter 463 – Large Battle
An enormous, bloody handprint soared high into the sky, and cast a huge shadow in an instant. It seemed that even half of the heavenly vault was obscured, spilling down with an incomparably glaring bloody-red.
Amid this bloody-red were layers upon layers of black qi that crackled and sizzled. With every inch of movement, that inch of space appeared to be burned by something extremely poisonous, letting out terrifyingly mournful sounds!
With one move, the earth was sundered and the heavens were alarmed. This was precisely a form of martial skill that Gongyi Tianheng comprehended.
The Great Asura Hand!
Currently, there was only one form of this skill, and it was nothing too ostentatious. However, it was a single act of strength that could destroy ten thousand methods. No matter what kind of abilities the opponent had, its palm only had to press down!
Previously, when the Tianlong Dragons made their moves one after another, the palm pushed out horizontally to form an extremely large barrier. And at this moment, Tianheng fully put it to use. The hand was like a small mountain, which was wrapped up in endless suppressive might!
Within the range enveloped by the bloody handprint, that Huo Li suddenly sensed an oncoming crisis.
He swiftly drew back, and his body erupted with a pillar of lava. The lava soared up, and stabbed directly into the bloody handprint!
In an instant, the lava pillar rammed into the handprint, and produced an explosive-like sound.
The downward momentum of the bloody handprint appeared to be halted by the collision, but at the same time, tremendous wisps of reddish-black qi curled around the surface of the lava pillar. In just a few breaths of time, the wisps rapidly spread down like the lava pillar had been contaminated by the reddish-black qi. Moreover, as the qi followed the length of the lava pillar, it was hurtling straight toward Huo Li!
Huo Li was startled.
What strange move was this?
Originally, he believed that the bloody handprint wouldn’t be able to come down, and after some time, it would certainly be bursted through by the lava. On the contrary, while that bloody handprint had stopped, there was another power that was winding down… There was a type of horrifying might contained within this power that instantly caused Huo Li’s hairs to stand on end. A strong sense of crisis forced him to withdraw his hand and turn around. He practically fled in disarray as he leaped dozens of meters away!
Since Huo Li released his hand, the power of lava he controlled naturally dissipated. It was like that bloody handprint had never been weakened at all as it pressed down heavily!
Boom!
At this moment, the earth collapsed and split open. It was to the point that everything within a range of several kilometers had been shattered into a dense spiderweb of fragmented pieces. Between the cracks of those fragmentations, the reddish-black power twisted and writhed like balls of poisonous fire. Anything that fell into the fire didn’t have enough time to scream or produce any noise before it was decayed into clouds of flying ash. Floating in the air, these clouds turned into a highly toxic miasma… If any wild beasts or vegetation came into contact with these pollutants, their bodies immediately became pitch-black. The poisoning had reached the point of no return!
It was just that this was only a single bloody handprint. Unexpectedly, such a terrible aftermath was brought about.
Although all of the prodigies were fully concentrated on their own fights, there were still several who paid attention to this side. After witnessing that stretch of collapsed and ruined land, the pupils of their eyes couldn’t help constricting. In a split second, their hearts palpitated.
— This kind of power was unprecedented. Who exactly was this prodigy?!
Once Tianheng attacked, he saw that Huo Li escaped. However, he wasn’t disappointed. It seemed that this was within his expectations.
While he used ninety percent of his strength in this strike, Huo Li wasn’t an ordinary person either. As a prodigy who had been nurtured extensively, how could he have been unable to withstand one strike?
But Tianheng’s attacks weren’t over yet.
Immediately following this, another bloody handprint soared high into the sky and slammed down straight toward Huo Li’s direction!
After Huo Li escaped, he felt that his own path of domination was wavering somewhat. At once, a burst of power rose up within his heart. It was the desire to immediately erupt and counterattack Gongyi Tianheng! However, before he could brandish this power, the second bloody handprint was already right in front of him!
If he wanted to strike back, it was already too late. Under this unwillingness, Huo Li could only utilize his fire escaping technique again. He turned into a ball of flames, swiftly left his original position, and reappeared at another location dozens of meters away.
At the same time, his original location followed the same fate as the place where the bloody handprint pressed down previously. The land cracked and fissured, blood poison twisted and writhed, and poisonous ash filled the sky.
And yet, this still wasn’t the end.
Without the slightest hesitation, Tianheng slapped out another palm. And once more, that enormous Great Asura Hand followed close behind.
People would only see one bloody handprint after another continuously pressing down. The instant a hand pressed down, a beam of fiery light would slip through a seam between the hand’s fingers and instantly appear somewhere else. Though, every time this fiery light escaped, it would still be vigorously pursued by the next bloody handprint. It had no choice but to run away again.
One palm after another.
Huo Li constantly fled. His complexion was gloomy, and the fury within his heart soared even higher!
He could sense that the falling speed of those bloody handprints was getting faster and faster, but his speed of using the fire escaping technique had begun to slow imperceptibly due to its ever-increasing consumption of energy.
If it was like this, then the distances between the bloody handprints and Huo Li would become shorter and shorter. He could even sense that the power of the blood poison was creeping closer to him, which caused his heartstrings to stretch taut. An intense feeling of urgency rose up!
Escape, escape, escape!
Having lived for twenty-something years, Huo Li had always been a proud son of heaven. He had his fill of pampering and nurturing. Previously, it had always been him who suppressed others with his path of domination. How could he be chased like this?
Unfortunately, because he lost the decisive opportunity, he could only wearily rush around here!
Huo Li detected that, from the initial wavering, his own path of domination was already covered in a layer of shadows. He could imagine that if this continued, his heart of domination might end up shattering in this place.
However, it seemed that the might of those bloody handprints still hadn’t diminished after a dozen palm strikes. On the contrary, it had become faintly stronger.
This kind of discovery infuriated Huo Li. He couldn’t help inwardly cursing: This is simply a monstrous freak. How long is it going to take for him to run out of strength?!
The other prodigies were also stunned by this powerful momentum. The battles between them hadn’t yet reached the most desperate phases, so it only took a slight shift of their thoughts to find out about the scene on this side.
At a glance, they recognized that the enormous bloody handprints were a type of formidable ultimate knowledge. However, the consumption of such ultimate knowledge was always extremely huge. Usually, it was difficult to maintain it for long periods of time when used against an enemy. Only when one’s realm was high could it display its might.
Right now, the prodigy using it was the same as them. All of them were no more than Atomic Realm martial artists. Using this bloody handprint like his power was an unending stream was truly too baffling.
At this moment, a thought appeared in the hearts of these prodigies — Who was this person? How abundant was the power contained within his qi ocean? Or was the reason why this person became a prodigy precisely because his qi ocean mutated to accommodate even more robust profound qi than prodigies like them?
They didn’t understand. Not at all.
However, because they weren’t able to grasp Tianheng’s foundations, they could only watch from the sidelines for the time being.
As for helping Huo Li…
During this struggle over the qi veins, each person here was an adversary. Why would there be any help?
Besides, as someone who walked the path of domination, Huo Li viewed everyone in the world as his subjects. How could there be any prodigies who treated him with absolute sincerity and were willing to lend a hand at this time?
As a result, Tianheng’s attacks on Huo Li didn’t let up for a moment. Neither fast nor slow, one palm followed another. Tianheng remained calm and composed, and not a single thread of his qi emissions was out of order.
When it came to his qi oceans…
The profound qi swelled and flowed within the six qi oceans. Silken threads of profound qi from the other five qi oceans permeated into that reddish-black qi ocean. Up above, the river of blood rolled with waves and surged up violently. Every movement caused the profound qi within this qi ocean to recover little by little.
Furthermore, there were countless silvery-gray fragments floating above the six qi oceans. There was also an extremely thin, gray line that was submerged within the reddish-black qi ocean. With just one revolution, the internal qi of the entire qi ocean faintly glowed with a wisp of brilliance as if it had strengthened in quality.
Seeing that every time Huo Li got away, his body was only a few meters from the Great Asura Hands, Tianheng speculated that the opportune moment had already arrived. He opened his mouth: “Prodigy Huo Li, hand your black dragon jades over to me, and I’ll stop. What do you think?”
Huo Li had just escaped another bloody handprint. Right away, he let out a cold snort: “Forget it!”
Tianheng sighed: “In that case, don’t blame me…”
Once he finished speaking, two enormous bloody handprints appeared simultaneously. With one ahead and the other behind, both sides outflanked Huo Li. In the sky, it was like someone had suddenly emerged to bring their palms together in prayer, creating a terrifying illusion that the world was about to be enclosed between these clasping hands.
If this attack connected… While it couldn’t be said that Huo Li would perish, he would definitely receive extremely tragic wounds!
Huo Li was shocked. Both of his eyes suddenly opened wide!
