Chapter 467: Infinite Regeneration

To his surprise, the sura king Gaoyuan found that he was unable to suppress the effects of the poison. His arms and legs were slowly stiffening. The effects of the new Yeluo poison were so astounding that even a sura king was affected by it.

Gaoyuan's eyes flashed coldly. "This is what you're counting on to defeat the sura?"

Gaoyuan made up his mind—he had to kill everyone in Renhuang. Any poison that showed such deleterious effect against the sura couldn't be allowed to remain in this realm. Howling, he let loose a rain of punches on Sun Xiaowu's adamantine form.

Sun Xiaowu stood firm against the assault, activating three defensive superior-grade soulshards simultaneously. His aura suddenly shifted, and his right arm glowed with resplendent light. It suddenly bulked up, and a layer of dense golden scales emerged over his skin.

A fearsome aura rose from Sun Xiaowu's body. He took a step forward, then punched with all his might, generating a dominating wave of genetic energy, knocking Gaoyuan flying.

Sun Xiaowu chased after him.

"[Golden Divide]!" A resplendent golden beam of light shot toward Gaoyuan.

Subject to the paralytic effects of the Yeluo poison, Gaoyuan was unable to evade the attack. The beam sliced through his shoulder and down his chest, cutting even his heart in half with a frightening wound.

Despite all that, however, Gaoyuan didn't fall. He extended an arm, grabbed Sun Xiaowu's arm, and pummeled his face, sending Sun Xiaowu flying like a bullet. Even his [Adamantine Aegis] was unable to defend against the damage completely; it protected his head from exploding, but only barely.

Meanwhile, the mortally wounded Gaoyuan's body was regenerating at a pace visible to the naked eye. Sun Xiaowu stood up shakily, rubbing his pounding head, as he said, "As expected, you have a very strong regenerative ability."

Gaoyuan snorted. "No one can defeat me—not other sura kings, and not you."

.

He roared, charging forward with a wave of energy. His foot left a deep imprint on the ground as he dashed toward Sun Xiaowu.

Sun Xiaowu's arms suddenly bulked up, and a layer of dense golden scales emerged over his skin. He prepared to face Gaoyuan head-on.

Their punches landed like raindrops over each other's body with resounding thuds. A gust of wind formed around the two fighters, preventing anyone else, sura or human, from getting closer.

The hunters present, as well as the sura who were still alive, all gaped in shock.

Sun Xiaowu was able to fight on equal ground with a sura king! The hunters knew that Zhang Lie had to have a reason for sending Sun Xiaowu over, but they had hardly realized he was so strong.

What allowed the members of Team Zenith to gain the strength to take down the sura kings was capping out their peak gene fragments, along with the basic-, mutated-, and superior-grade limit fragments they possessed.

The human fighters all cheered, "You can do it, Sun Xiaowu!"

The effects of [Adamantine Aegis] were slowly being chipped away by Gaoyuan's punches. Although Sun Xiaowu was damaging Gaoyuan as well, Gaoyuan's superior regeneration meant that his injuries healed in the blink of an eye.

It seemed as though his regenerative abilities were limitless, and even his stamina was being replenished bit by bit. Gaoyuan, who had eaten countless testicles, stored the essence of all that sperm in his body, tempering blood and bone and dramatically augmenting his regeneration.

Just as he was about to despair, however, Sun Xiaowu recalled what Zhang Lie had told him before his departure. "No one in this realm can regenerate indefinitely; they must have a weakness somewhere, and once you exploit that weakness, you can take them down."

Given what he understood of Gaoyuan, Sun Xiaowu was certain that Gaoyuan's weakness would lie in his testicles.

Sun Xiaowu launched a probing kick toward Gaoyuan's groin. Gaoyuan seemed to have been on guard against such an attack, and he dodged immediately. He had never dodged any of Sun Xiaowu's attacks before, confirming Sun Xiaowu's suspicions.

"[Blinding Flash]!" Sun Xiaowu's body suddenly split into dozens of clones, none of which were distinguishable from any of the others.

Gaoyuan waved an arm and destroyed all the ones around him, but there were simply too many for him to take care of at once.

As his clones continued to distract Gaoyuan, Sun Xiaowu struck once again with [Golden Divide].

Gaoyuan leaped up into the air to avoid the attack, at which point Sun Xiaowu and all his clones cast [Blinding Flash]. Dozens of copies of the same attack filled the area, casting Gaoyuan's camp under so bright a glow that he was forced to shut his eyes.

Subsequently, all the clones cast [Goldenscale Palm]. The copies of the technique condensed into a pillar of light that shot into the sky, with Gaoyuan at its very center. In mid-air, Gaoyuan was unable to dodge the technique. All he could do was curl up his body and protect himself.

Dozens of golden fists landed on his body, breaking bone and pummeling skin. By the time the technique was over, his body was nothing but a bag of flesh and bone, his head half torn off his body. The only part of his body that remained intact was his groin.

Despite the frightening state of his body, Gaoyuan had yet to perish. His injuries were healing, but Sun Xiaowu was faster.

He walked toward Gaoyuan's battered form.

"You're humans, aren't you? I'm impressed there are such strong fighters among you." Gaoyuan lickedh is lips. "I do want to have a taste of your testicles."

"You won't have a chance!" Sun Xiaowu raised a gleaming golden blade and cut Gaoyuan's head in two as though he were chopping apart a watermelon.

Just as he was about to find Gaoyuan's groin and end him once and for all, however, Gaoyuan spoke again. "That's not certain yet!"

Gaoyuan made his move—like a slime, he used the ground as a launching pad to send his body flying toward Sun Xiaowu.
