Chapter 217 – Frenzied Battle, The Primordial Point!

“Roar—”

The evil roar of the elephant reverberated through the entire area, creating massive sound waves that spread out, lifting large clouds of dust and shaking the onlookers’ eardrums.

All eyes were gathered in the scene.

There, a terrifying figure over four meters tall with an elephant head and human body stood, its massive body resembling the imposing, undulating peaks of the Demon Mountain, looking up and roaring.

In that moment, countless people’s hearts were captivated, and their minds were momentarily dazed.

Whether it was Lu Yuan’s attack from the sky or his full-force punch, both strikes were powerful enough to be terrifying.

Yet, the Elephant Deity Emissary, who took both blows head-on, seemed unscathed.

Not only did it appear completely unharmed, but it even launched a formidable counterattack, showcasing a nearly commanding level of fearsome combat power.

Emissary level.

Far more terrifying than they’d imagined…

“Three keys—you get two, I get one.”

On the mountaintop, a faint red glow emerged from Julian’s body as he calmly said, “I’m ready to make a move.”

The Handsome Young Man beside him held him back, shaking his head, “No rush, no rush.”

For once, the youth’s face bore a serious expression, his eyes fixated intently on the battlefield. His pupils flickered with large amounts of blue data, as though calculating something.

“Life signs are still robust. This battle… has only just begun.”

Julian furrowed his brow, but in the end, the red glow on his body dimmed down and disappeared.

…

“Roar—”

The evil elephant man roared furiously for a while before slowly stopping its cries.

It looked as if it had just completed some sort of celebratory ritual, declaring its own valor.

Afterwards, its lone eye on the forehead began scanning the surroundings, and its long, tentacle-like elephant trunk sucked in the air repeatedly.

Finally, its gaze focused on a spot on the ground nearby.

Moving its thick legs in heavy strides, it walked over, pressing down with both hands, seemingly ready to start digging.

And just at that moment…

“Boom!”

A pile of rocks several hundred meters directly in front of the elephant man suddenly exploded, and a figure stepped out.

“Interesting.”

At this moment, Lu Yuan was wearing a deep blue Golden Bear Level protective suit, reputed to withstand attacks at the highest S+ level.

Now, a large hole gaped at its chest, and the rest of the intact areas looked dull and tattered, like a soul beaten out of it.

Though his body bore no obvious wounds, it was covered in quite a bit of dust, giving him a somewhat disheveled appearance.

“Rip—”

Lu Yuan decisively tore off the suit and cast it aside.

Revealing his powerful martial body, solid like cast iron.

Staring at the over four-meter-tall elephant man in front of him, Lu Yuan wiped a thin trace of blood from the corner of his mouth. He spoke slowly, enunciating each word: “It’s been a long time since anyone has hit me… this hard.”

In the next second, a fiery battle spirit flared up in Lu Yuan’s eyes.

With a “boom,” the ground beneath his feet exploded into a large pit.

In an instant, he vanished.

When he reappeared, he was directly in front of the elephant man, nearly within arm’s reach.

At this moment, Lu Yuan felt as if there was a fire burning in his chest.

The icy lake within his heart had been entirely shattered by the hit from the Elephant Deity Emissary.

Lava and flames flowed from beneath the broken ice, transforming into a blazing fighting spirit that heated every cell in his body.

“Boom!”

Lu Yuan threw a mighty punch, distorting the air in front of him. His fist abruptly landed on the elephant man’s chest.

Compared to the over-four-meter-tall Elephant Deity Emissary, Lu Yuan, at only two and a half meters tall, seemed like a child fighting an adult.

Yet, with this punch carrying two hundred tons of force, he fiercely sent the elephant man flying.

The elephant man soared through the air, knocked back like a heavy truck flipped by brutal force.

Lu Yuan’s eyes flashed, and with a powerful stomp, he dug a several-meter-deep pit into the ground, propelling himself forward like an arrow from a bowstring.

As he charged, multiple professional panels opened simultaneously.

One skill after another activated in succession, lighting up like bulbs one by one.

lv8 [Death Energy Entanglement]…

lv2 [Eye of Doom]…

lv3 [Martial Deity Strength]…

lv3 [Absolute Concentration]…

lv1 [Undefeated Instinct]…

lv1 [Blood-burning Body]…

lv1 [Unyielding Will]…

Black and golden lights simultaneously enveloped Lu Yuan’s body. His eyes turned pure black, all emotional fluctuations disappearing within a second.

From beneath his skin, scarlet mist began to emanate, his physique subtly expanding once more.

“Whoosh—”

A giant white Crane Shadow appeared from his body, distorting the air around him.

Unyielding, indestructible, undefeatable!

Fight, fight, fight!

The flame in Lu Yuan’s heart burned even fiercer.

His mind was nearly consumed by a single thought—to win!

To hell with the Elephant Deity Emissary!

To hell with Level SS!

He wanted to win, he had to win!

Completely guided by instinct, Lu Yuan closed in on the elephant man, turning every part of his body—limbs, torso, and all—into weapons of attack.

The combat skills on his professional panel lit up like the flashing lights on a slot machine, constantly brightening, dimming, brightening, dimming…

[Ultimate Skill—Crane Shadow Float!]

[Ultimate Skill—Mistaken Plucking of Immortal Orchid!]

[Ultimate Skill—Ethereal Penglai!]

[Ultimate Skill—Dragon Shield!]

[Ultimate Skill—Encompassing Ocean!]

[Super Killer Move—Death Message on the Way to the Underworld!]

Lu Yuan’s speed reached its zenith, his body tracing black and golden afterimages in the air.

Spirit Crane, Dragon Form, Great Whale—the three True Intents rapidly switched back and forth within him.

Heatuscles sometimes swelled, sometimes contracted, sometimes turned into mist, and sometimes condensed into a single point…

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Each of his ultimate and super killer moves rained down on the elephant man like a torrential storm.

Illusions of a silver full moon hanging in the air, the Styx River flowing, and a thousand ravens taking flight continuously appeared and dissipated.

Under the execution of Lu Yuan’s Ultimate Martial Body, which had once broken the limit in all four basic attributes, each of his ultimate moves erupted in dazzling splashes of color, as brilliant as fireworks.

Lu Yuan was completely immersed in his attacks.

Driven by his Undefeated Instinct, all he could think about was… defeating the opponent in front of him.

With a strength level of 21 and a basic boxing power exceeding twenty tons!

With the techniques of ultimate exertion propelling him, Lu Yuan’s boxing power surged higher and higher.

Soon, it exceeded two hundred tons.

He was advancing toward two hundred twenty, two hundred forty, two hundred sixty… even three hundred tons.

Unbeknownst to him, the blood-red Lotus Eye behind him started to unfold. The lotus petals that shielded the pupil spread open, as if the entire bloodshot eye pattern was about to fully unveil.

With the support of this great power, every strike he threw twisted the air, squeezing out layers of white ripples.

However, the cost was…

Multiple blood vessels burst all over Lu Yuan’s body. Even with a constitution of 20 points, he could not withstand the continuous eruption of this power.

He was drenched in blood.

Yet he remained seemingly unaware.

He merely felt that his body was in a constant, wondrous state of transformation, repeatedly telling him—

He could become stronger, much stronger… even more powerful!

At a certain moment, a torrent of inspiration suddenly surged within Lu Yuan’s mind.

An unexpectedly triggered [A Moment of Inspiration].

It was like switching on a button.

Instantly, the true skill visualization diagram of [Ten Thousand Refined Domain Breaking Technique] recorded in Xiang Lei’s martial arts note leaped into his mind.

A black vortex broke free from the paper, spinning continuously in Lu Yuan’s mind like a black hole.

“Boom—”

At this moment, the True Intent above Lu Yuan’s head suddenly shattered, subsequently transforming into a pitch-black vortex-like imagery.

As if it was a matter of course, he slowly threw a punch forward.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

The arm, concentrating an unprecedented three hundred tons of colossal force, had its veins and capillaries simultaneously rupture.

Lu Yuan launched a punch.

The twisted air around his fist formed visible turbulence and whirlpools, containing an indescribably horrifying aura, mercilessly striking the elephant deity emissary’s chest.

“Crack—!”

A crisp sound echoed, as if something had shattered.

Exceptionally clear.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

Then, the elephant deity emissary, who had been reduced to nothing more than a punching bag since the start of the battle, became visible.

A horrifying crack appeared on its once seemingly indestructible body, which was as towering and solid as a demon mountain.

The fracture spread slowly yet irresistibly… extending outward in all directions.

The entire body was showing signs of imminent collapse…

“Roar-“

The elephant man let out a skyward roar.

This time, however, it sounded more like the wail of a cornered beast at the brink of its demise.

Lu Yuan’s pure black eyes flickered slightly.

Drenched in blood, he looked exceptionally pitiful, but a pure smile slowly crept onto his face, which had remained as calm as a lake.

“Won… won…”

“Uh…”

At the edge of the battlefield, everyone watching froze in that moment.

Their faces revealed expressions of bewilderment.

On the mountaintop, both Julian the Fiery Fist and the Handsome Young Man were similarly spellbound.

“He really… won?”

Julian’s expression was dazed, his eyes filled with a myriad of surprises and disbelief.

A mere Golden Bear Level fighter going up against an emissary level, with a clear disparity in combat power.

And yet…

The former had actually won?

Relying on that intricate, nearly lavish combat technique and… an unyielding fighting spirit?

“Incredible.”

Julian subconsciously sighed with admiration.

The Handsome Young Man was stunned for a moment, and then a quick smile spread across his face.

His expression of surprise and disbelief was no less than Julian’s, but it also had a considerable measure of delight.

He turned his head, about to say something.

Suddenly, Julian’s expression changed, becoming serious and sharp.

“No, this thing… is not an ordinary emissary level!”

“What?!”

The Handsome Young Man immediately turned his head, his gaze fixed intently on the battlefield.

…

“We won… Lord Golden Bear won!”

After a brief moment of silence, a wave of enthusiastic cheers erupted among the Yellow Bear members.

The joy of victory after a battle filled the air.

One by one, the Yellow Bear members looked at Lu Yuan’s figure on the battlefield with nothing but fervent worship and admiration.

This was the Golden Bear!

Their Golden Bear Level!

Even those terrifying monsters that couldn’t be stopped by countless hot weapons ultimately fell to their Lord Golden Bear’s hands.

“Uh…”

The blond sleepless in the distance, who had been watching, were now also struck by an indescribable sense of awe.

The leading blond sleepless had a complex, indescribable expression on his face.

Who could have imagined that a Level SS elephant deity emissary would actually be on the verge of defeat at the hands of a mere Golden Bear Level fighter?

If the results of this battle were to be spread, it would likely cause quite a stir within extraordinary organizations worldwide.

Defeating an SS-level opponent while being only S-level, and relying solely on one’s own strength… it was truly unbelievable.

Just as he was thinking this, the blond sleepless suddenly heard the fervent cheers from the Yellow Bear side come to an abrupt halt, as if cut off by a knife.

What followed was a tumult of panicked commotion.

His expression changed, and he quickly raised his head.

In the next second, his pupils constricted sharply.

“I knew it… it wouldn’t be that simple…”

…

“Crack, crack, crack-“

The sound from the elephant man continued.

But this time, it wasn’t the body cracking like stone, but rather…

Closing, healing!

The smile vanished from Lu Yuan’s face as he watched in disbelief. The elephant man, who had been on the verge of collapsing like a mountain, now had a strange light flickering within his pitch-black chest.

A new surge of Strength seemed to flow into its body.

The cracks and wounds on its frame quickly healed.

In the blink of an eye, it was fully restored.

Not only that…

“Boom!”

An aura far more terrifying than before erupted from its body, forcefully pushing Lu Yuan away.

It… had become even stronger than before!

The “full health revival” caused the elephant man’s body to grow larger and more imposing.

Its size now nearly breached five meters.

It suddenly stomped its foot.

With a deafening “boom,” the ground within a few hundred meters around the elephant man shattered and soared into the air, as a surge of Strength transmitted deep underground.

Three glowing stone balls immediately burst from the earth, ascending into the sky.

Seeing those three stone balls, the elephant man beat his chest with both hands. Its grotesque elephant trunk lifted high, and from the flower-like opening below, it let out a screech louder than ever before.

“Demon Mountain!”

A terrifying shockwave accompanied this screech, scattering countless stones and earth.

The very air seemed to tremble!

Lu Yuan, standing directly in the path of this shockwave, had to cross his arms in a defensive posture just to avoid being blown away by the force.

In that instant, Lu Yuan’s mind was ensnared by a moment of confusion.

He had nearly exhausted all his trump cards.

Yet, it seemed like everything was back to square one.

No.

It was even worse than square one… an even more dire situation.

…
