Villain : After Slacking Off, The Protagonist Collapse

Chapter 62

“Of course!” Huang Qingtian responded with a calm demeanor. “This is my own advantage, no need to give it up! Moreover, the words of others will not affect me.” His temperament was extraordinary, impervious to provocation or influence.

One might say Huang Qingtian was commendable in many aspects, his only flaw being a tendency towards arrogance. Beyond that, he was virtually without fault.

“Exactly what I wanted!” Jiang Chen exclaimed, relieved. “I was actually worried you’d lower your realm. If you did and then got defeated by me, who knows what kind of rumors would spread, suggesting I used underhanded tactics or didn’t win fairly against you!”

This made Huang Qingtian even more puzzled by Jiang Chen. How could someone be so shameless?

“Let’s begin!” Uninterested in further banter, Huang Qingtian’s sole focus was on defeating Jiang Chen. As his words fell, the entire arena shook, the array patterns trembling as if on the verge of shattering.

“Universe in the Palm!” Jiang Chen’s aura erupted, his divine light shining like the sun, sacred and flawless, exerting a formidable pressure that spread throughout the arena, making countless spectators feel an oppressive suffocation.

At this moment, Jiang Chen shed his previously jovial demeanor for a solemn and detached expression, embodying the image of the Primordial Holy Son as perceived by all – powerful yet serene, untroubled by the chaos of the world.

With a swift motion, Jiang Chen’s hand opened wide as if it was the hand of an ancient god, causing a tremendous surge of power. The space around them collapsed and condensed under his grasp, Huang Qingtian included.

“Break!” Huang Qingtian remained composed, the word slowly escaping his lips. His command was the law, unbinding the space grasped by Jiang Chen, stepping out unscathed as Jiang Chen’s palm bled from the effort, ancient runes and patterns swirling in the blood, timeless and enduring.

“Phoenix’s Cry Reaches the Ninth Heaven!” Huang Qingtian’s eyes gleamed with golden light, unleashing a soul force vast like a never-ending river, coalescing into a colossal phoenix that dove towards Jiang Chen with overwhelming might.

This was the supreme mystical ability of the Undying Phoenix Clan, a soul attack technique renowned across the Nine Heavens Realm for its unmatched power.

Facing the incoming phoenix, Jiang Chen advanced instead of retreating, his body adorned with ancient patterns and the traces of the Dao, as a mysterious seal emerged, blocking the phoenix’s assault with a profound burst of energy.

“Supreme Soul Seal!” Huang Qingtian was not surprised to see his attack thwarted. It would have been truly astonishing if the Primordial Holy Son lacked such a soul-protecting divine weapon.

“Meteor Fist!” Jiang Chen pushed forward, his fists enveloped in silver light, striking with the force of a falling meteor, shattering the void around them.

The arena’s arrays trembled ceaselessly, threatening to collapse under the unprecedented force of his blow – a spectacle unseen in previous battles, even those involving Qin Ershi.

“Indeed, a monstrous genius. That punch bore the might of a quasi-saint!”

“Even ordinary Saints might not withstand him!”

The crowd was in awe, recognizing the true extent of Jiang Chen’s power, which seemed to transcend his apparent cultivation level, touching the threshold of saintly might.

And they weren’t holding back at all. With a casual strike, it was comparable to a quasi-Saint. If they were to unleash their full strength, even they themselves were unsure of the extent it could reach. With a loud bang,

“True Phoenix Fist!” Huang Qingtian didn’t back down; a smile appeared on his lips, his eyes blazing with battle intent, like a boiling volcano.

The power of the fist surged, rolling up endless waves, akin to the cry of a phoenix. The divine light around them even coalesced into the shape of a phoenix.

Boom.

When the meteor collided with the phoenix, it was like a meteor striking Earth, the brilliant divine light bursting forth, instantly filling the entire arena.

Crack.

The next moment, the formation completely failed to withstand the pressure and exploded instantly. The formation couldn’t block the attacks of the two. Their strength was too terrifying.

But soon after, over a dozen forces surged forward, directly isolating the space above. Here, if there’s anything abundant, it’s strong figures.

Not to mention the strong ones from various forces, even the Great Qin Dynasty has countless strong ones. Especially with the Emperor of Great Qin present, any accidents could quickly be mitigated.

Under the combined efforts of many strong figures, a very special space was formed, completely isolating the two within the void.

Whoosh.

The dust settled. Both of them separated, both Jiang Chen and Huang Qingtian were somewhat disheveled, with blood at the corners of their mouths.

But it was as if they had seen something they deeply loved; their eyes were filled with battle intent!

“Again!” Huang Qingtian changed his usual calm demeanor, instead, his fighting spirit soared, and his voice was loud.

The reason for this was that Huang Qingtian was too exceptional. Within the same realm, he couldn’t find an opponent that was evenly matched.

Even since his birth, Huang Qingtian hadn’t found any opponent. Whether it was the human race or the ancient imperial clans, no one of the same age was his match.

This made Huang Qingtian extremely solitary. He always wanted to find a strength that was close to his, someone who could make him feel pressured.

However, he hadn’t found one for a long time. He thought the Son of the True Dragon might be one, but he had never fought with the Son of the True Dragon.

Not even seen him, which annoyed Huang Qingtian to no end. Now, upon hearing about Jiang Chen, he thought Jiang Chen might be one, so he rushed over without stopping.

At first, he thought Jiang Chen probably wouldn’t make it. But after the confrontation, he found that Jiang Chen was indeed the opponent he had been looking for.

And damn, he was strong. Being several minor realms higher than his opponent, he still didn’t have any advantage.

“Starry Sky Disk!” Huang Qingtian’s hands moved in a circle, countless stars shining and forming a river in his hands, turning into a disk.

As the disk emerged, like a starry river pouring down, the stars fell, stirring up astonishing waves, the entire void rippled, and a powerful force vibrated out.

The disk spun, the void cracked, the heavens collapsed, like an apocalyptic scene emerging between heaven and earth.

Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked. Despite being separated by endless void, they could still feel the power of this divine ability, the strong attack leaving them trembling in fear!

This was not the power a Great Master realm could possess. Even some quasi-Saints were trembling.

They couldn’t help but curse under their breath. What kind of monsters were these two, reaching such a level of existence? Most of them were geniuses in the past. But compared to these two, they were simply like trash.

“Ultimate Universe!” Jiang Chen stretched out two fingers, pressing them towards the void.

Bang.

A shocking scene occurred. The entire void collapsed, Dao patterns emerged, order flickered, as if the true face of heaven and earth was being revealed.

Under this force, even the Starry Sky Disk collapsed, unable to withstand it. The stars fell, the starry river dimmed. The entire universe plunged into darkness, without a single sound.
