Chapter 69

As Shatian Yun finished speaking, his body suddenly trembled, his clothes fluttering and swelling as a surge of energy flowed through him. The surrounding spiritual energy, stirred by his aura, swept out with his arm like a venomous snake, aiming to strike Ye Chu.

This was a terrifying sight that made one's scalp tingle. The true terror of the Xiantian realm was now fully revealed. Shatian Yun took a step forward, the bluestone beneath his feet cracking, and his outstretched arm instantly aimed to entangle Ye Chu, intending to trap him in a dire situation.

"Ye Chu!" Zhang Su'er and the others' faces changed dramatically, shouting in shock. Seeing Shatian Yun's full strength about to entangle Ye Chu, their eyes turned red, almost ready to rush forward. However, they all knew that with their weak strength, they would only be sending themselves to their deaths.

The terrifying power of a Xiantian-level burst would severely injure them if they were to get involved. The soldiers clenched their fists tightly, their eyes fixed on the scene. At this moment, they no longer harbored any disgust towards Ye Chu; their eyes were filled with admiration. Watching Ye Chu about to be entangled and torn apart by Xiantian-level power, their pupils turned blood red.

Everyone knew that the ultimate moves of the Xiantian realm, which stirred the surrounding spiritual energy, were their greatest means. Such powerful moves had absolute destructive power against those below the Xiantian realm.

"Hmph!" Shatian Yun looked down on Ye Chu, thinking he was just a mere illusionist, yet dared to block him.

What a pity, a very promising seed, about to die in his hands today.

Shatian Yun's contempt did not affect Ye Chu. Ye Chu laughed loudly, "Do you really think such a move can entangle and kill me? You're dreaming too much!"

As Ye Chu spoke, his figure moved, his eyes bright. The true qi of the illusionary realm gathered in his arm, bursting with an aura that shattered everything, the terrifying aura making his clothes flutter.

This was the first time Ye Chu had unleashed his full strength in Yaocheng. The tenfold burst of qi repelled everything external, advancing in a domineering manner.

"It's useless! You're just a toad, no matter how much you jump, you can't jump out of the well, and you'll never see the vast sky of the Xiantian realm!" Shatian Yun shook his head, sighing with a sense of pity, "You're going to die, and you'll never get out of this well!"

"That's not necessarily true!" Ye Chu roared, "With the ferocity of the strong, transforming the peak illusionary realm, the Vajra Fist!"

The Vajra Fist, an introductory boxing technique of Qingmi Mountain, was a low-level boxing technique, but it had one characteristic: ferocity! Back in Qingmi Mountain, Ye Chu was forced by the fatso to punch rocks with his bare hands every day. At that time, Ye Chu felt very foolish, thinking that continuously punching rocks was something only a lunatic would do.

But he had no choice. In Qingmi Mountain, he was the weakest, and the old madman had thrown him to the fatso. If he didn't follow the fatso's orders, the fatso would throw him into a snake pit. Those who had never seen a snake pit with thousands of snakes couldn't imagine how disgusting and terrifying it was.

Compared to the snake pit, Ye Chu would rather be a fool and punch rocks to practice the Vajra Fist.

And the results were evident. The fatso had once said, "The Vajra Fist, though the most introductory ferocious boxing technique, can become even stronger than Xiantian-level martial arts if you fully understand its essence and practice it to perfection! In terms of ferocity, no boxing technique can surpass it!"

"The more basic the martial art, the fewer impurities it contains. When practicing, you can more fully understand its essence. Many cultivators only aspire to practice advanced martial arts, but they don't realize that without mastering the basics, their understanding of advanced martial arts will be limited."

"It's like learning to read; you must start with the basics. Only by understanding each character can you read long passages and grasp the true meaning of the text. The deeper your understanding of the characters, the deeper your understanding of the text."

Although Ye Chu wanted to strangle the fatso, he had to admit that the fatso had unique insights. Unable to refuse, he could only settle down and practice various basic martial arts, being a fool time and time again, striving to bring the basic martial arts he learned to their peak.

The Vajra Fist was one of the basic martial arts he had brought to its peak. His ferocious palm clashed with Shatian Yun, producing a dull sound.

But what caught everyone's attention was not the shock, but the fact that Ye Chu, using a direct confrontation, actually blocked Shatian Yun's attack that stirred the surrounding spiritual energy.

Ye Chu forcefully broke through the attack like a venomous snake, forcing Shatian Yun to retreat several steps. Even Shatian Yun's arm trembled under such a ferocious punch.

Ye Chu, of course, was not unscathed. Despite the ferocity of the Vajra Fist, the gap in realms was still there. Being too ferocious could easily hurt oneself. At this moment, Ye Chu felt a surge of blood in his body, making him very uncomfortable.

"The Xiantian realm is truly terrifying. No wonder the fatso said not to easily provoke a Xiantian realm practitioner," Ye Chu exhaled lightly. He originally thought that with his understanding of the illusionary realm, he wouldn't suffer a significant loss against a Xiantian realm practitioner, but now it was clear that the gap was still significant.

"That fatso is truly terrifying. It's rumored that he killed three Xiantian realm practitioners in the illusionary realm," Ye Chu couldn't help but sigh. The fatso's foundation was indeed stronger than his. After all, Ye Chu had only been practicing for three years! The fatso's foundation was much more solid, and it took him ten years to reach the Xiantian realm.

It wasn't that the fatso lacked talent, but he had been constantly refining his foundation. What could have been achieved in three to four years, he delayed for six to seven years, making him much stronger in the illusionary realm.

Ye Chu originally thought that although he couldn't compare to the fatso, if the fatso could kill several Xiantian realm practitioners, he should be able to handle one. Now he realized there was still a gap.

Others didn't know that Ye Chu was unsatisfied with his own performance. The crowd of Yaoguo was stunned, staring at Ye Chu in disbelief: Where did he get such terrifying strength? Ferocious enough to break steel!

Whether soldiers or Su Rong and her group, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva, their hearts filled with overwhelming shock.

An illusionary realm practitioner actually withstood a full-strength attack from a Xiantian realm practitioner. If this had been said before, they wouldn't have believed it.

"How did you do that?" Shatian Yun was also shocked. The ferocity was too terrifying. And he could clearly see that it was a basic martial art. How could such a martial art burst with an aura that rivaled or even surpassed a Xiantian-level martial art?

"Just keep punching rocks, and you'll get there!" Ye Chu smiled at Shatian Yun.

But this statement made Shatian Yun's face twitch. Was he taking him for a fool? Who would punch rocks for fun?

"I don't believe you're that strong!" Shatian Yun didn't believe it, roaring and launching another attack, which was no less powerful than the previous one.

Ye Chu countered with the same ferocious attack, forcing both of them to retreat, successfully blocking Shatian Yun.

If there were still doubts before, they were now gone.

"He... He... No wonder he said he was invincible below the Xiantian realm!" Zhang Su'er's mouth was dry, her voice trembling as she spoke to Su Rong.
