Chapter 673 - Desperate Fight

“Heavenly Book of Seven Fantasies, Claw of Arrogance!”

A berserk power pushed across the three thousand great realms.

The giant claw overshadowed the universe and crammed the sun and the moon into its grasp before swiping down mercilessly. Space itself buckled and shattered under the sheer force of the attack.

This was the power of one strike that could collapse the very pillars of heaven, merging the essence of the Heavenly Book of Seven Fantasies with Yuan Powang's cultivation.

Chen Fan had enraged him by sending him flying. He had to kill Chen Fan in one fell swoop to wash away this shame and show his prestige as a half-step Heavenly Star realm expert.

In an instant, Chen Fan felt as if heaven was pressing down on him.

The divine dragon's claw tore through the universe, making the sun, moon, and stars appear as mere glass marbles in comparison to its enormity.

The oppressive force pressed down on Chen Fan, threatening to crush his bones and obliterate his blood, flesh, and soul.

“

Roar

!” Chen Fan roared furiously. Dragon-elephants cried and waved their trunks majestically in every component of Chen Fan’s body, including his cells and blood. Their roars swept the sun and the moon in the sky.

Golden light erupted from him and his back, which had momentarily bent under the crushing pressure, straightened with unyielding force.

The flood dragon silhouette coiled around Chen Fan grew even more substantial, infused with the power of the dragon-elephants. Its ferocity reached a terrifying peak.

“Flood Dragon Sky Splitting Claw!”

Chen Fan clawed upwards violently. The flood dragon silhouette flew out, its razor-sharp claw tearing through the heavens, colliding head-on with the claw. The clash seemed to shake the very fabric of existence itself.

The space trembled violently as if two worlds had collided.

Boom!

A violent storm tore through several kilometers, ripping up the ground as it surged forward.

The earth buckled under the impact of their qi, and sharp cracking noises echoed. Fissures spread in all directions like a spiderweb, reaching the distant mountains, where several cloud-piercing peaks collapsed.

Yuan Powang’s eyes blazed with fury. Despite using the Heavenly Book of Seven Fantasies, Claw of Arrogance, he still couldn’t bring Chen Fan down. This failure was intolerable.

“Undeserved Catastrophe!”

Yuan Powang turned into a blur, moving like a ghost as lightning flashed around him. His attacks were fierce, his movements impossible to track, and every strike carried the power to obliterate an entire area.

Chen Fan stood in the air, meeting Yuan Powang’s unpredictability with solidity. The Hegemonic Golden Body’s immense pressure erupted, distorting the space within the surrounding thirty feet. He unleashed a series of punches, each one carving countless trails through the air as he confronted Yuan Powang’s divine techniques head-on.

No matter how fierce the attack, Chen Fan remained steadfast, enduring the wind and rain that battered him from every direction.

The impact of their clash erupted in an explosion, and Chen Fan and Yuan Powang flew apart.

Rumble!

Both of them spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Pfft!

The nearby crowd was incomparably shaken. None of them expected Yuan Powang to fail, even with the power of the Heavenly Book of Seven Fantasies.

“Fabricated Diagram!”

Yuan Powang was so furious that his eyes nearly popped out. He never imagined Chen Fan would be so formidable, so incredibly difficult to defeat.

He had believed that his half-step Heavenly Star realm cultivation would make this battle effortless, but he had misjudged his opponent from the very start.

Now, despite using the Heavenly Book of Seven Fantasies, he was still unable to suppress Chen Fan, making him feel very infuriated inside.

Yuan Powang had intercepted Chen Fan to take his treasures; now, he only had one thought in his mind: he had to kill Chen Fan to protect his own reputation.

He was Yuan Powang, a half-step Heavenly Star realm expert. How could he possibly fail to bring down Chen Fan, a mere seventh-level Divine Nascent realm cultivator? That was unthinkable!

After they were separated from the explosion, Yuan Powang charged forward once more. The true primeval on his palm condensed into a divine diagram.

It expanded, enveloping the sky and shattering the void as it descended, covering heaven and earth. Yuan Powang stood at its center, like a monarch looking down on the world, unleashing wave after wave of devastating strikes.

Boom, boom, boom...

The void trembled endlessly. The terrifying power rippled across the space, and any ninth-level Divine Nascent realm expert caught in its path would be severely injured or killed.

Yuan Powang’s attacks struck Chen Fan, causing his qi and blood to tumble, and the latter spewed fresh blood from his mouth. However, Chen Fan’s gaze only grew fiercer. A streak of Green Lotus Sword Qi erupted, tearing through heaven and earth and slashed toward the divine diagram.

“Green Louts Sword Qi, slash!”

The Green Lotus Sword Qi tore apart Yuan Powang’s divine diagram and nearly disemboweled him.

Chla!

“Damn it, it’s indeed a heaven-tier martial art!”

Yuan Powang broke out in cold sweat. The Green Lotus Sword Qi was too sharp; there was simply nothing it could not cut through. It even tore through his divine diagram like it was a piece of cloth. Was there something it could not cut?

“Die for me, Calamity of Broken Fantasy!”

Yuan Powang’s eyes were bloodshot. He channeled the Heavenly Book of Seven Fantasies again. A disastrous light immediately appeared, destroying everything and ruthlessly descending toward Chen Fan to destroy him.

But Chen Fan stood firm, his Hegemonic Golden Body glowing brightly like an unyielding mountain, ready to face the Calamity of Broken Fantasy head-on.

Boom, boom, boom!

A terrifying force crashed into Chen Fan’s Hegemonic Golden Body, sending fresh blood spraying into the air, painting a grim picture. Yet, his aura remained majestic, unwavering.

Grabbing at the void, he materialized a Heaven Piercing Spear with talismanic runes in his grasp. Chen Fan hurled it toward the Calamity of Broken Fantasy violently.

Boom, crack!

The Heaven Piercing Spear sliced through everything, obliterating the disastrous light and striking directly at its source, completely destroying the Calamity of Broken Fantasy.

Yuan Powang spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood, the backlash from the destruction weighing heavily on him. His breath came in ragged gasps.

Pfft!

“Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!” Yuan Powang roared angrily.

He never expected to end up in such a state.

The fierce reputation he had built over his lifetime had crumbled. He wanted nothing more than to tear Chen Fan apart, drink his blood, and eat his flesh.

“Die!”

Chen Fan was also incredibly miserable. Though he resisted the power of the Heavenly Book of Seven Fantasies, the effort left him drenched in blood.

Without the strength of his Hegemonic Golden Body, he would have fallen to Yuan Powang’s onslaught by now.

“Die!”

He unleashed a deadly halberd light from the Purgatory Divine Halberd, shattering the space around him in an instant.

Yuan Powang waved his hand. A terrifying palm seal swept across, suppressing heaven and earth, and met Chen Fan’s halberd light violently.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang...

The two collided at once, like a meteorite crashing onto the earth.

The battle between them escalated, each combatant risking everything.

Yuan Powang wanted to kill Chen Fan to prove his majesty as a half-step Heavenly Star realm.

On the other hand, Chen Fan wanted to fight Yuan Powang, perhaps even kill him, to intimidate and deter the snakes on the road ahead.

If he could defeat Yuan Powang, then the road toward the True Martial City would be smooth.

After all, if others saw that even a half-step Heavenly Star realm cultivator like Yuan Powang couldn’t match his strength, would they still dare to challenge him?

That would be seeking death!
