Chapter 789 – Demonize

Chen Fan was like an ancient beast that had awakened. He was bursting with strength, shattering the oppressive force field and regaining his freedom of movement.

“Flood Dragon Fist Scripture, annihilate!”

Chen Fan’s muscles swelled up, his tendons coiling like a dragon. Gathering terrifying strength, he shook his arm, sending a devastating punch forward.

Roar!

A deafening roar rang out, resembling a massive dragon, surged upward and shot toward Wanxin with unparalleled ferocity.

Rumble!

When their punches collided, it felt like two meteorites had crashed into each other, generating a shockingly huge explosion. The entire space stirred fiercely like the tide.

Thump, thump, thump!

Terrifying shockwaves spread in all directions, slamming into Chen Fan and Wanxin. Their protective true primeval exploded violently, and they were pushed back repeatedly.

Whoa.

“What a terrifying clash. My god, it’s like the sky is collapsing—a scene straight out of some apocalypse!”

The crowd erupted in awe and panic, their voices clamoring over the stunning display of power.

Chen Fan steadied himself, his gaze piercing through the storm like lightning. With a thunderous stomp on the void, he launched himself forward, creating a rumbling boom. He transformed into a blazing fireball as he hurtled toward Wanxin.

He was still using the Flood Dragon Fist Scripture. His terrifying full strength transformed into a gigantic true dragon, growling repeatedly. It blasted toward Wanxin, seemingly about to rip even the sky above him apart.

Wanxin’s expression remained tranquil, exuding unshakable composure. Buddhist light gathered at his hand; with a finger flick, he executed the Heavenly Primeval Strike, precisely striking the rampaging flood dragon fist force.

Clang!

A loud noise rang out as the fist force that could kill a top-tier peak Heavenly Star realm expert was wiped out.

Wanxin took a big step forward, turning into a golden Buddha. He walked forward barefooted in the void. With every step he took, a golden lotus with twelve petals grew on the ground, symbolizing the twelve supreme virtues.

“Heavens, it’s actually the Barefooted Golden Lotus!”

The crowd was greatly shocked.

This revealed that Wanxin had attained profound mastery of the Buddhist ways, nearing the true essence of Buddhism itself.

“Lawless!”

Wanxin raised his hand and struck with unmatched might, his attack crumbling mountains, splitting the earth, and turning the universe upside down.

Rumble!

The fabric of space shattered like fragile glass, breaking into countless shards. Immense qi currents erupted outward, unleashing a vortex of primal chaos that seemed to tear apart the spatial arena.

The experts observing from outside the arena felt their hearts seize with dread. A chill ran down their spines, and their hair stood on end.

There was probably no one under the Manifestation realm who could withstand such a terrifying punch.

Was Wanxin planning on settling this match with this one punch?

Chen Fan felt a boundlessly terrifying pressure. Wanxin’s punch carried an aura that defied natural law, plunging the world into chaos—lawless.

“Flood Dragon Fist Scripture, Become Flood Dragon!” Chen Fan roared. His aura erupted wildly. True primeval spewed out from every pore, turning into a sea of true primeval. A flood dragon emerged and soared from that sea, coiling around Chen Fan’s arm as he unleashed his full power in a devastating punch.

Rumble!

The space exploded by the inch.

It was like two suns were colliding, immediately erupting with blinding light.

The deafening sound of their clash echoed beyond the arena, leaving the spectators outside trembling with shock and wondering if this was really a fight between two Heavenly Star realm experts.

Suddenly, Wanxin’s voice rang out from within that storm.

“Heavenless!”

A towering fist surged forth, carrying an unstoppable momentum. Like a heavenly pillar from above, it pierced through the storm as it barreled toward Chen Fan.

Lawless was already terrifying enough, but this Heavenless was even more so, leaving countless onlookers stunned in disbelief.

Amid the raging storm, Chen Fan’s roar echoed powerfully.

“Transform Dragon!”

𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Become Flood Dragon and Transform Dragon—two techniques from the Flood Dragon Fist Scripture—were the strongest moves Chen Fan had mastered so far.

A colossal dragon surged into the sky, as if to tear through heaven and earth, colliding head-on with Heavenless.

Boom, thump!

Heaven and earth shook fiercely. The spatial arena trembled, on the verge of collapsing under the force of the clash.

The crowd couldn’t see through the swirling chaos. They could only hear the roars of the two contestants as well as that earth-shattering collision. The shockwaves grew more ferocious, sweeping outward like a relentless tide.

Puchi!

Suddenly, a figure shot out of the storm, blood spraying wildly. The crowd focused their gazes and were shocked to discover it was Chen Fan.

“Chen Fan was sent flying!”

The spectators’ expressions changed dramatically. Many stood abruptly from their seats, their faces pale with disbelief.

As expected, Wanxin proved to be stronger and far more terrifying.

His Lawless and Heavenless punches were boundlessly domineering, forcing Chen Fan to cough up blood.

On the Peerless Peak’s side, Jian Qi and the others also stood up from their thrones.

“Not good!”

Wanxin stepped out of the storm, radiating golden Buddhist light, like a serene and majestic Buddha.

“Amitabha, Benefactor Chen Fan, are you still not admitting defeat?”

Chen Fan looked at Wanxin, trembling from the residual shock. A glint of sharp determination flashed in his eyes.

Only after crossing fists with Wanxin did he fully grasp the extent of his opponent’s immense strength.

However, it was still too early to expect him to admit defeat after just that!

“Admit defeat?” Chen Fan chuckled darkly, his eyes suddenly turning cold. A flash of black demonic light flickered in his gaze.

Suddenly, a dark golden aura spread on him, and a terrifying demonic will surged outward.

Grayish-black demonic qi spiraled around him like a monstrous dragon, transforming him into a demonic god.

“Demonic Will, how is that possible? How did Chen Fan become demonized?”

The crowd was filled with incredulity when they saw this scene.

Although some of Chen Fan’s background was well-known, no one had suspected that he practiced demonic arts.

“Right, I remember now, he slew the Fifth Fiend, Cao Yuan, back in the Sky Dragon Divine Stronghold’s microcosm. Cao Yuan had Demon Venerable Chaotic Heaven’s legacy and practiced the Chaotic Heaven Demonic Art. He must have obtained it at that time.”

“Demon Venerable Chaotic Heaven was a behemoth of the demonic path on the eastern continent. He was a Void Immortal. His demonic art is said to be a demonic immortal remnant art.”

“Chen Fan must have secretly trained in the Chaotic Heaven Demonic Art, which explains his ability to demonize now.”

“Demonic arts are overbearing and have unparalleled combat strength. His physique is already unrivaled, and now that he’s fused it with this power, his combat strength will soar. Perhaps he can actually go toe-to-toe with Wanxin.”

“It seems like both parties have shown their hidden cards. My god, this battle is only just heating up. It’s truly thrilling to watch.”

“That’s right, one Buddha and one demon. I wonder if it would be the Buddha suppressing the demon in the end, or the demon suppressing the Buddha. Just thinking about it makes my blood boil in excitement.”

“......”

Just when the crowd thought this huge battle was about to end, Chen Fan turned the tables.
