Indra roared loudly as his entire body instantly transformed into a streak of light, charging straight at Chu Tianyang.
"What? You've actually cultivated for several thousand years?"
"Taking several thousand years just to break through to Martial Venerable - how utterly pathetic!" Chu Tianyang didn't hold back his mockery.
"Ah! I'll kill you!" Indra bellowed, his fists erupting with radiant light as he launched a devastating attack filled with surging power toward Chu Tianyang.
As a mere mortal physique cultivator, reaching this realm step by step over several thousand years already placed him ahead of countless others. How dare this man look down on him?
"Today, I'll tear your mouth apart or I won't bear the surname Di anymore!" Check latest chapters at novel⦿fire.net
"Then you'd better change your surname, because you're unworthy of it!" Chu Tianyang sneered as his body soared into the sky, meeting the furious charge of Heaven's Gate's ancestor Indra head-on.
The two figures clashed violently across the sky, their fists and palms crossing in dazzling displays of light that transformed into expanding rings of terrifying energy waves.
"Hmph, you overestimate yourself!"
"A mere late-stage Martial Venerable is nothing!" Chu Tianyang scoffed. While his Myriad Spirits Saint Body didn't provide massive combat boosts compared to other saint physiques, facing a mere mortal physique, bridging two minor realms was perfectly achievable.
Even as they exchanged words, their movements never slowed. The powerful martial techniques they unleashed created continuous thunderous explosions across the sky.
"How is this possible?"
"Chu Tianyang is actually fighting our ancestor evenly!"
"Didn't he just recently broke through to Martial Venerable?" Elder Qu Li of Heaven's Gate stared skyward in shock. In his estimation, their ancestor should have killed Chu Tianyang with a single move!
"Hahaha, how could you possibly comprehend my ancestor's capabilities?"
"Come, you whelps of Heaven's Gate! Witness the might of our Chu family!" Chu Zhennan roared as he charged forward first. Activating his Battle Saint Physique, dazzling golden light erupted from his body as he plunged into the enemy ranks. Chu Hongxiao, Chu Yunfei, Chu Xiuran and others followed closely behind.
"Come, old man! Let me see what you're capable of!" Chu Xiuran immediately engaged Qu Li.
"What brat dares be so overconfident? Go home and drink milk!" Qu Li sneered dismissively - Chu Xiuran wasn't even twenty yet.
"I'll kill you!" Chu Xiuran flew into a rage. How dare anyone look down on him ! He was a saint physique holder now! In his fury, golden lightning crackled around his body as he unleashed his Martial Emperor-level aura.
"What? Martial Emperor?" Qu Li's eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets, almost biting his tongue in shock. This seemingly young brat was actually a Martial Emperor expert?
"Old fool, you'll regret those words soon enough!" Chu Xiuran transformed into a streak of lightning as he attacked. Though shocked, Qu Li reacted swiftly, brandishing his sixth-grade spirit artifact staff to meet Chu Xiuran's assault head-on.
The clash between Martial Emperor experts erupted with tremendous energy, immediately creating a massive battlefield around them. Though Heaven's Gate had a Martial Venerable ancestor, they weren't a seven-star sect - meaning they didn't possess seven Martial Emperors. With several needed to remain guarding their sect, only a few Martial Emperor elders had come. Besides Qu Li, there was just one more - currently being held at bay by the combined efforts of Chu Hongxiao and Chu Yunfei, both peak Martial Kings.
The battle erupted in full force - two Martial Venerables clashing in the sky while Martial Emperors and lower-ranked martial artists fought below. Surging, multicolored energies erupted everywhere they passed, obliterating everything in their path. The surrounding mountains were flattened as jagged fissures split the earth.
Before long, the Qingyun Sect's ancestor and members emerged from their suppression by Heaven's Gate. Though severely injured, the Qingyun Sect ancestor - also a Martial Emperor - fought with murderous intent. His bloodstained fists struck down any Heaven's Gate disciple below Martial Emperor level.
"You slaughtered so many of our disciples - today you'll repay this blood debt!" The enraged Qingyun Sect ancestor unleashed his Martial Emperor might, causing Heaven's Gate disciples to explode into bloody mists, leaving no corpses behind.
Above them, even more terrifying energies erupted as both sides unleashed their ultimate martial techniques. BOOM! A massive palm strike collided with a golden fist imprint, creating a dazzling explosion of light in the sky. The surging energy struck Indra like tidal waves, sending him flying back hundreds of meters before he coughed up blood.
"A saint-grade martial technique!"
"So your Chu family really did inherit the Yunxiao Sect's legacy!" Indra's expression turned ugly. Even Heaven's Gate lacked such techniques! Moreover, his opponent was only an early-stage Martial Venerable - why was his combat power so terrifying? Especially his physical toughness, which far surpassed Indra's!
"Guess!" Chu Tianyang sneered, pressing his advantage to attack again. This saint-grade combat technique indeed came from the Yunxiao Sect's inheritance. This was the heritage of a true family!
"Don't get cocky!" Indra produced his seventh-grade spirit artifact. His opponent was well-equipped too, simultaneously summoning two seventh-grade artifact spirits - a dark red bell hovering above his head and a silver war halberd in hand - before launching a furious assault.
DONG! The bell's toll reverberated across the sky as the halberd descended with mountain-crushing force. The bell's sound transformed into visible crimson ripples while the halberd unleashed a hundreds-meter-long silver slash that seemed capable of splitting heaven and earth apart.
"Ha!" Chu Tianyang's body surged with energy as silver starlight dotted his skin - the effect of cultivating the saint-grade "Star Refining Body Art". Simultaneously, a silver longblade appeared in his hand - his own seventh-grade spirit artifact purchased from the Myriad Domain Merchant Guild!
"Asura's Single Slash!" Chu Tianyang's blade descended, releasing a kilometer-long silver arc that clashed with both the incoming slash and sound ripples. The entangled energies exploded spectacularly in the sky.
"A single slash blocked both my attacks - another saint-grade martial technique!" Indra gnashed his teeth in frustration before roaring and charging forward again. Instantly, the two figures became entangled once more.
Below, one of Heaven's Gate's Martial Emperor elders fell. Besieged by Chu Hongxiao, Chu Yunfei and the Qingyun Sect ancestor, he ultimately had his chest pierced by the Qingyun Sect ancestor's fist - though the ancestor himself was left completely drained by the elder's death throes.
"AHH!" A piercing scream erupted as Qu Li's spirit artifact staff shattered under Chu Xiuran's thunderous fists before a punch blasted into his abdomen. Golden lightning flashed, piercing straight through Qu Li's stomach.
Gushing blood from his mouth, Qu Li staggered back, his face now filled with terror instead of his earlier composure.
"Young master, spare me!"
"I was forced by the Beast Taming Sect! I had no choice!"
