Chapter 1022 - Dead?

Tchhh.

The light surrounding Beishan Hong was incomparably dazzling.

Wherever the light shone, space incinerated, air melted, and the surrounding five thousand kilometers turned into a land of utter nothingness.

A boundless aura rose to the sky. This power embodied the purest Yang, an extreme and burning force that distorted reality itself.

It seemed like Beishan Hong had transformed into a blazing sun, hanging high up in the sky, making it impossible for others to even look at him directly.

He radiated an invincible, domineering aura. The oppressive might rolling off him spread across heaven and earth, suffocating the masses below.

The aura was so powerful that it could make anyone below the peak Manifestation realm tremble in fear. Resistance seemed unthinkable.

“Solar Sacred Body!”

“My god, is that the legendary Solar Sacred Body? I heard Sect Master Beishan Ling also has the Solar Sacred Body. In his youth, he swept through his peers, eventually ascending to the grand position of sect master.”

“Indeed, a tiger doesn’t father a dog. Beishan Hong has activated his Solar Sacred Body.”

“What a powerful aura. I feel like I’m about to suffocate under this aura.”

“As expected of a special constitution. Once the Solar Sacred Body comes out, who under the peak Manifestation realm can compete against Beishan Hong?”

“I have to admit, Chen Fan is indeed strong, to force Beishan Hong into using his Solar Sacred Body. Even in death, he should feel proud of himself.”

“That’s right! Forcing Beishan Hong already proves his worth as a Peerless Peak disciple.”

Loud exclamations rang out from below in an instant.

Countless people were shaken to their core when they saw Beishan Hong’s appearance and aura.

The Solar Sacred Body was a rare, unique constitution.

Those who possessed this constitution were all peerless monsters—kings among their peers. Beishan Hong happened to be one of them.

Moreover, his cultivation technique was said to be the upper-heaven tier Great Sun Divine Heavenly Mantra, absorbing the sun’s essence to refine extreme Yang and fiery profound powers.

This cultivation technique complemented the Solar Sacred Body, fueling his rapid rise.

Beishan Hong quickly rose to prominence thanks to it. He was at the ninth level before he was even thirty. That feat made him one of the most renowned figures of the central continent’s younger generation. Few could rival him.

Many people had heard of the Solar Sacred Body’s greatness, but few had witnessed it firsthand. Seeing Beishan Hong in action today left them both awed and ecstatic.

At this point, the battle’s outcome seemed inevitable.

No matter how monstrous or heaven-defying Chen Fan was, he couldn’t be a match for Beishan Hong now. The gap was simply too great.

Beishan Hong could now crush any ninth-level Manifestation realm experts and compete against peak Manifestation realm experts.

Qin Yao, Huang Wuji, Di Chen, Zhuge Qingfeng, and all related to Chen Fan couldn’t help but feel their hearts tense up.

Although they were from the Peerless Peak and were said to be invincible in the same realm, that was only relative to ordinary martial artists.

Facing Beishan Hong—an absolute monster—it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens to skip three levels and defeat him.

Even Saintess Lin Xian’er clenched her fists unconsciously, anxiety clear on her face.

High up in the sky, Beishan Hong stood like a sun god descending into the world, bathed in radiant flames. His eyes, like twin burning suns, threatened to scorch and blind anyone who dared meet his gaze.

His aura, vast like the sea and as oppressive as a prison cell, spread out constantly. The terrifying, scorching aura could simply melt Chen Fan. Beishan Hong said, “Chen Fan, forcing me to use my constitution is already enough for you to take pride in. But no matter what, you’re just an ant—this will never change.”

Beishan Hong’s voice rumbled like thunder, spreading out in all directions, “Now, I shall show you the difference between us. You can die without regret!”

He suddenly rose into the sky, flying ten thousand feet higher, towering over all like a deity. Looking down at everything in the world, he unleashed a heavy punch.

“Descent of the Blazing Sun!”

Boom, boom, boom!

His fist blazed like a falling sun, incinerating the air and warping space itself. A burnt scent filled Chen Fan’s nose.

This punch was too terrifying.

This punch was terrifying—like a wrathful sun god setting the world aflame. Anything caught in its path would be obliterated, leaving no trace behind.

The indescribably terrifying power could destroy the world. Its aura spread across fifty kilometers, shaking the souls of all who witnessed it.

The earth, mountains, rivers, and forests within five thousand kilometers began melting rapidly under the scorching heat.

If one looked at the punch from below, it looked like there were two suns in between heaven and earth.

Even the real sun dimmed, retreating as if it dared not compete with this false one.

This punch shocked heaven and earth. Even some peak Manifestation realm experts felt their minds tremble. Horror flashed across their faces—could they survive this blow if they were in Chen Fan’s place?

Under the sun’s overwhelming might, Chen Fan felt it most.

His hair stood on end instantly, as if a hundred-foot divine mountain was crushing his heart.

Chen Fan activated all his cultivation in a flash.

Hegemonic Golden Body.

Chaotic Heaven Demonic Art

Nine Heavens Astral Sutra.

A powerful aura rushed out. Golden light radiated, demonic intent surged, and astral brilliance filled the sky.

Chen Fan had pushed his strength to the limit.

“Hand of Demon, break!” Chen Fan roared furiously. His demonic qi rose to the sky, and the silhouette of the demon god appeared behind him.

The demon god wore golden armor, with a storm of stars around it, emitting vast and mighty divine might. Following Chen Fan’s movements, the demon god slowly raised its hand, forming a colossal demonic palm that covered the sky before smashing down upon the blazing sun.

Boom, thump!

In an instant, two terrifying attacks that could destroy heaven and earth collided. The resulting deafening explosion made the minds of countless people below go blank. They couldn’t even stand firmly on their feet.

The entire Phoenix Stage shook violently under this terrifying shockwave as if an earthquake had occurred.

However, Beishan Hong’s punch was too terrifyingly powerful.

The dazzling sun fist light trembled, then tore through the Hand of Demon with unstoppable force, shattering the demon god’s silhouette inch by inch—until it exploded into nothingness.

Afterward, the terrifying fist force continued blasting down toward Chen Fan and descended upon Chen Fan in an instant.

Rumble!

The entire world erupted with blinding light along with an earth-shaking loud noise. Some weaker cultivators felt their eyes burn, and tears of blood streamed down their faces.

Swish!

Quite a few experts vaguely saw a figure being struck down from the sky through the blinding light.

It was like a meteorite crashing into the earth.

His descent was terrifyingly fast. In an instant, he crashed into a mountain range.

Rumble!

A hundred-thousand-foot mountain collapsed on impact. Countless rocks exploded, debris scattering in all directions as dust clouds billowed.

Shortly afterward, calm returned to the scene. The towering mountain had been reduced to nothing but rubble.

Silence fell on heaven and earth in an instant.

No matter if it was the people on the Phoenix Stage or the countless martial artists in the imperial city, they were all stunned.

So, this was the might of the Solar Sacred Body?

There was only one word to describe it: terrifying!

The leading figures of various forces, here to observe the ceremony, were secretly shaken. Beishan Hong’s strength was beyond astonishing.
