Chapter 337 – Tearing Apart Earth-Level Armament!

“I didn’t expect that increasing my strength points and agility points by just one each would enhance my overall abilities so significantly,” Lu Yuan stood calmly within his Grandmaster’s Domain, quietly reflecting on his recent actions.

Perhaps he had underestimated his own martial arts system as a Grandmaster.

Upon activating [Three Flowers], his physical body, blood spheres, and mental power all surged dramatically.

Consequently, all skills on the [Martial Arts Grandmaster (Extraordinary)] panel that were related to these aspects experienced substantial qualitative transformations.

“My combat power is roughly at the peak of the fourth-stage?” Lu Yuan estimated internally, confident of one thing: he had definitely not reached the fifth-stage yet.

After all…

Lu Yuan calmly raised his head, his gaze piercing through layers of distance, falling onto the far end of the forest.

At the ends of two conspicuous chasms, he could sense two powerful auras rising, preparing for a comeback.

“In this state… it’s still hard to completely suppress a high-level fourth-stage combatant.”

Based on this deduction, his combat power had not yet reached the fifth-stage.

“Since the test is complete, there’s no need to waste any more time…”

In Lu Yuan’s tranquil eyes, tiny glimmers flickered and danced.

“Cuckoo-“

From his shoulder came the applause-like sound of a certain annoying bird.

Lu Yuan tilted his head, coldly saying, “Shut up!”

“Next… it’s your turn.”

“Cuckoo-?”

…

“Kill!”

With a roar of rage, a massive dark green explosion erupted suddenly within the dense primeval forest.

Under the blinding light, swathes of ancient trees were flung skyward, shredded to pieces.

The brilliance of the stars seemed to rise like a dragon, nine dazzling starlights appearing in a peculiar arrangement, vaguely forming the shape of a sword tip.

With the emergence of this shape, an indescribable force spread out.

This force melded with the resplendent sword light that followed, causing the sword light’s aura to surge, creating uncontrollable gales that made the surrounding forest wildly undulate.

“What is this?!”

All spectators who felt this aura experienced a sudden, sharp pain as if a blade were pressing against their foreheads, causing their scalps to tingle.

“It’s Mattis’s power of the natal star diagram!” Ling Yu recognized the aura, a trace of amazement flashing in his eyes.

“His star diagram is of a considerable tier, and his comprehension of its power has grown even stronger…” Ling Yu attempted to simulate a battle with Mattis in his mind, arriving at a disheartening conclusion.

The probability of him surviving Mattis’s strike was less than half a percent.

“An extraordinary supernova who comprehends the power of the natal star diagram is on a completely different level from one who hasn’t.”

The young man with a slightly dark complexion in their trio spoke in a low voice, his expression a mix of shock and yearning.

Every supernova dreams of comprehending the hidden power within their natal star diagram, but achieving this feat is incredibly difficult. Talent, intelligence, and fortune are all necessary.

Every supernova who successfully comprehends the power of the natal star diagram is unquestionably the cream of the crop, an unparalleled genius among geniuses.

The vast starlight coalesced into a pure white blade light, tens of meters long, with nine points of starlight sparkling brilliantly on it.

The intangible force locked onto the area from a distance, and the tremendous energy felt like a mountain crashing down.

Even those merely on the periphery of this “force” felt an unprecedentedly terrifying pressure. Those hovering in the air were forced to land, and the ground beneath their feet cracked open in large sections.

They had to retreat far away, completely withdrawing from the enveloping scope of this “blade force” to escape the crushing pressure.

Just as everyone was about to breathe a sigh of relief, another terrifying energy pressure surged from another location.

A streamlined, dark blue Earth Armament ascended, its form entirely different from when it first appeared.

The entire machine had expanded to more than seven meters tall, with chunks of extraordinary dark blue alloy fitting together like artwork, drawing rough yet aesthetically pleasing technological contours.

Massive lines of dark blue energy coursed through this form, the roaring of the super engine sounding like a symphony from the earth.

Waves of energy pressure spread out, purifying the surrounding air to the clearest state before warping and distorting… The unimaginable level of power brewing within was terrifying.

The might of the Earth Armament was displayed almost perfectly at this moment.

This was the edge of a strategic-level weapon.

The blond man piloting the Earth Armament now had nearly only his face exposed.

The gentleness on his face had long disappeared, replaced by a hint of defiant madness.

His forehead gleamed faintly with a misty glow, a characteristic of fourth-stage mental power.

“Boom!”

The fully primed super engine roared like an enraged beast.

“Swish-“

The spectators’ vision blurred briefly, followed by the sight of the dark blue Earth Armament vanishing.

Its massive frame, resembling a colossal beast, moved with such speed that it distorted the scenery.

Layers of the sound barrier were broken, and explosive sounds echoed continuously. The onlookers could only track the Earth Armament’s path through the immense white shockwaves it left in its wake.

“This is even more terrifying than Mattis!”

Many felt their skin crawl.

This was truly close to the combat power of a fifth-stage. Once revealing its full might, it was like a lurking beast baring its fangs, its mere presence capable of frightening off ordinary fourth-stage combatants.

The dazzling blade light tore through layers of emerald forest waves, carrying the might of the cosmic star diagram as it pierced through the air.

The Earth Armament moved as gracefully as a dragon.

The two figures, one on each side, were like towering waves, dozens to hundreds of meters high, converging on a single target.

The area caught between these two massive forces felt like it was being ravaged by an extraordinary storm, where everything caught in between was ground to dust by the invisible forces…

The scene was too terrifying.

The spectators retreated repeatedly, even the strongest among them, Ling Yu, felt his scalp tingling and a chill running down his spine.

“Fifth-stage! Even a typical fifth-stage combatant might struggle to withstand this combined assault. Facing it head-on could very likely result in injuries…”

Many eyes involuntarily fell on the point where these two formidable forces converged.

There stood the mysterious young Flying Bear, who had previously stunned them multiple times.

At this moment, the strange domain power he wielded was also being overwhelmed under the intertwining might of these two forces, becoming increasingly unstable.

It was continuously being compressed and diminished.

However…

His expression remained as calm as ever, as if he felt none of the immense terror coming from his left and right.

It was as if he stood in the peaceful eye of a storm.

Compared to the devastating force on either side, there was an eerie tranquility about him.

This tranquility, however, was torn apart in an instant.

Mattis’s intense blade light and the Earth Armament’s overwhelming strike arrived almost simultaneously.

An energy far more terrifying than the initial clash, more than tenfold stronger, engulfed everything.

As the light burst forth, many spectators found their vision completely overwhelmed by a blinding white light, losing all focus.

The terrifying energy storm peeled layers off the earth and swept away vast swathes of the dark green forest.

The legendary aura in this area was almost entirely purged.

Gale-force winds carried everything away, instilling a sense of imminent doom in the spectators standing at a distance, as if they might be swept into the maelstrom at any moment.

“Now… everything should be over…”

Someone murmured in a daze among the crowd.

At this point, the Phoenix Feather, the spark that ignited all this chaos, seemed all but forgotten.

Everyone’s attention was fixated on the outcome of this battle.

The fact that a mysterious young powerhouse had suddenly emerged from the Xia State, with an enigmatic identity and formidable methods, was more intriguing to many than who would end up with the Phoenix Feather.

Just when everyone thought the energy shockwave storm would continue for a long time.

Suddenly.

The explosion’s radiant ball split apart.

A pitch-black great sun rose from within…

At the first sight of the pitch-black great sun, Yin Muqing’s beautiful eyes widened in shock.

As if witnessing something incredibly inconceivable, she quickly covered her mouth with her hand.

The others felt the same shock.

They watched as the pitch-black great sun devoured all of the raging white light, like a massive black hole, sucking in everything around it.

When all the light and energy had been completely absorbed by the great sun.

The scene at the center of the battle group was revealed.

Everyone present saw a sight that would be etched into their memories for a lifetime-

The mysterious young Flying Bear from the Xia State had vanished. In its place stood an imposing 15-meter-tall figure with three heads and six arms.

Its appearance was strikingly similar to the platinum body they had seen before, though the details and aura were worlds apart.

This was a true physical body.

Crimson lines of blood ran over its deep black form.

At its chest, a lurid and magnificent blood flower stood out, eye-catching and glaring.

Its presence was immense and overwhelming, its feet deeply rooted into the ground as if merged with the earth itself.

The figure stood like a demon mountain drenched in fresh blood, blossoming with the eternal flower, towering with an unyielding stature.

Unimaginable waves of evil energy pulsed outward, releasing a suffocating pressure that weighed heavily on every spectator.

Many couldn’t prevent their legs from trembling, feeling as though they might collapse under the intensity at any moment.

However, what truly left everyone in a state of shock and mental paralysis…

Was that the towering being with three heads and six arms now held, one in each hand, the heads of Mattis and the blond man piloting the Earth Armament.

This scene was eerily reminiscent of when the two had first launched their attack.

Who could have predicted that even with Mattis and the Earth Armament elevating their combat power to the peak, the result would be…

Exactly the same!

“Roar!”

Mattis’s roar and the thundering super engine of the Earth Armament echoed almost simultaneously as both men struggled furiously.

But in the next second…

All the turmoil was forcibly subdued.

“Boom!”

Everyone’s pupils shrank, their hearts pounding violently.

They witnessed the three-headed, six-armed figure smashing Mattis and the Earth Armament together, one large, one small, with a resonant thud against its chest.

“Boom!”

Mattis’s roar abruptly ceased, his black battle blade slipping helplessly from mid-air.

The Earth Armament, however, remained sturdy.

The blond man within the Earth Armament wore a ghastly expression, his mental power flaring to the extreme, creating a radiant glow.

The entire frame of the Earth Armament erupted with explosive roars, akin to a raging beast refusing to be subdued.

Under the blond man’s strenuous struggle, the six arms of the towering figure were having difficulty containing the rampaging Earth Armament.

The crowd noticed the central head on the three-headed figure furrow its brow slightly.

Then, the six arms methodically grabbed the Earth Armament’s limbs and head…

“Buzz-“

It sounded as if countless thick steel rods were being yanked apart and then released. The inaudible sound waves caused everyone to experience a piercing ringing in their ears, and their bones felt a bit numb.

Amid this ringing, they saw the already incredibly bulky arms of the towering figure swell even more, with billowing white vapor emanating from them.

Then, with all its strength, the six arms pulled…

“Rip-“

A series of teeth-gritting sounds echoed.

Everyone could see, with their own eyes, the seven-meter-tall, fully activated, slate-blue Earth Armament piloted by the blond man…

Was torn into pieces like a pitiful roasted chicken.

“Boom, boom-“

A series of explosions from the damage to the Mecha seemed like harmless little fireworks bursting on the towering figure with three heads and six arms.

Expressionless, it loosened its grasp, letting the broken Mecha fragments fall to the ground.

The blond man, forcibly pulled out from the Earth Armament, didn’t appear visibly injured.

However, he was as pale as a ghost, his expression vacant as he collapsed to the ground, ending up beside Mattis, who had been knocked unconscious from the initial impact.

They both looked as though their souls had been torn from their bodies, utterly dejected.

At that moment, all the onlookers instinctively held their breath.

A “boom” resounded in their ears, as if thousands of energy cannons were firing simultaneously in their minds.

Every thought was abruptly severed.

In their minds, only one idea was left, frantically looping-Tearing Apart Earth-Level Armament?!
