Chapter 671: Heavenly Martial Soul
The crowd stared at the figure on the battle platform, their gazes trembling. Di Ling was too arrogant, completely disregarding Jun Moxi. Even though Jun Moxi's strength was immense, with his Vast Righteous Qi and Undying Martial Soul being incredibly powerful divine abilities, Di Ling completely ignored him.
In Jun Moxi's eyes, it seemed there was only Duan Wudao.
"Whether it works or not, we'll only know after the battle."
Jun Moxi said calmly, looking at the unrestrained Di Ling, his gaze always so serene.
"Fight, of course. You make the first move." Di Ling stood with his hands behind his back, confident, exuding an overwhelming sense of self-assurance, as if no one could defeat him.
Jun Moxi's body erupted with a golden Vast Righteous Qi that surged skyward, roaring fiercely. With a step forward, Jun Moxi's figure vanished from his spot and appeared directly in front of Di Ling, unleashing a torrent of righteous energy swirling with terrifying vortexes.
Finally, Di Ling's body released a formidable aura—domineering, fearsome, the intent of the heavens.
Extending his palm, Di Ling shook it violently, striking directly at the Vast Righteous Qi without any fear.
His palm pierced through the Vast Righteous Qi, reaching for Jun Moxi, but Jun Moxi sneered. Stomping his foot on the ground, a surge of heavenly righteous energy seemed to go wild, fearless. He didn't even bother with Di Ling's grasping hand, only attacking Di Ling.
"Hmm?" Di Ling's brow furrowed slightly, then his palm trembled and he withdrew it sharply, as if the Vast Righteous Qi had become chaotic.
"Vast Righteous Qi, break through heaven and earth."
Jun Moxi roared, his power overwhelming. A terrifying momentum of heaven and earth pressed down on Di Ling along with his Vast Righteous Qi.
"Hmph." Di Ling snorted coldly, his robes billowing wildly. Terrifying true essence shot into the sky. His palm trembled, as if the surrounding space was caught in his grasp, roaring fiercely. The power of the entire space converged and smashed into the surging Vast Righteous Qi.
"Boom!"
A terrifying collision sound rang out, causing the space to tremble violently. At the point of their clash, a hurricane erupted.
Jun Moxi retreated three steps, while Di Ling didn't move an inch, still standing there, his domineering aura seemingly unmatched.
"I told you, you're no match for me. Trying to rely on your Undying Martial Soul to fight me head-on? I'm not that stupid." Di Ling said calmly. Earlier, Jun Moxi had ignored his own body, letting him attack while simultaneously striking with powerful Vast Righteous Qi, relying on his Undying Martial Soul. Di Ling wouldn't foolishly trade blows like that; in a contest of injuries, he would certainly recover slower than Jun Moxi.
"No one can defeat me, who possesses the Heavenly Bloodline. Now, let me show you the power of Heavenly Blood." As Di Ling spoke, a terrifying bloodline energy surged and rolled. A temperament of annihilating the heavens bloomed from him. True essence raged and roared, boundless and infinite.
"Incredible. No wonder Di Ling is hailed as the strongest genius of the Snow Domain." The crowd's eyes narrowed. Di Ling's strength was terrifying; just his aura alone made their hearts tremble, wanting to prostrate themselves.
Raising his palm, Di Ling clenched his fist, as if the very space was suffocating. His fist carried the domineering aura of the heavens.
"Jun Moxi, since you have the Undying Martial Soul, let me show you the power of my Heaven-Annihilating Strike." Di Ling stepped forward and punched out. A rumbling sound shook the air. The surrounding space churned, as if endless domineering power converged into that single punch, reaching the pinnacle of strength.
"Heaven and earth are vast; righteous energy never dies."
Jun Moxi looked at the terrifying fist, fearless and undaunted. He gathered endless Vast Righteous Qi and blasted it toward the punch.
A thunderous, shocking sound rang out. Jun Moxi's hand was shattered by the force, Di Ling's fist aiming to annihilate the heavens.
Yet Jun Moxi didn't even blink. His left hand, carrying Vast Righteous Qi, roared out in a punch without pause. His injured right arm healed at a terrifying speed, recovering so fast it made hearts tremble.
"Useless." Di Ling's voice was cold. His left arm was entirely filled with terrifying Heavenly Force. His arm withstood Jun Moxi's attack without any reaction.
Unbelieving, Jun Moxi shook his hands. Looking up, endless Vast Righteous Qi transformed into dragon forms, madly converging into his palms. A roaring giant dragon faintly appeared.
"Boom!" Di Ling's fist struck Jun Moxi's body. Jun Moxi grunted, his body shaking violently. Gritting his teeth, he didn't retreat half a step, letting Di Ling's power shatter his body, only to have it heal madly. The power of the Undying Martial Soul was the will of immortality.
"Righteous energy gathers into dragons and elephants; roar!" Jun Moxi shouted. Endless Vast Righteous Qi turned into giant dragons and elephants, crashing toward Di Ling.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
The heavens trembled. The terrifying dragons and elephants forced Di Ling back, making him grunt, his gaze icy.
"Brilliant, absolutely brilliant." The crowd stared fixedly at the battle platform, not daring to miss a moment. The Undying Martial Soul, the righteous energy gathering into dragons and elephants—it was too terrifying. Jun Moxi let Di Ling attack without defending, relying on his Undying Martial Soul, then counterattacked with the dragons and elephants, pushing Di Ling back.
Although Jun Moxi's cultivation was at the peak of the Eighth Layer of Profound Martial Realm, his terrifying strength could kill even ordinary Ninth Layer of Profound Martial Realm cultivators. But Di Ling was only lightly injured. Both of them were terrifying.
Di Ling wiped the corner of his mouth with his hand, then looked at it. There was a drop of blood.
Bringing it to his lips, Di Ling licked the blood, his eyes full of demonic light.
"Good. The Undying Martial Soul, truly a mysterious and powerful martial soul. But now, let me show you the Heavenly Blood—the Heavenly Martial Soul!"
"Boom!" As Di Ling's words fell, his body seemed to be swept by the intent of the heavens. Jun Moxi felt his body tighten, as if oppressed by a terrifying force. The entire battle platform space, a piece of heaven and earth, seemed to tremble, centered on Di Ling.
"The Heavenly Martial Soul, formless and invisible, uses the power of the heavens to control heaven and earth." Jun Moxi said calmly. At this moment, he felt as if he was standing in someone else's spatial world.
"So you know. With the Undying Martial Soul, you are immortal. But your power can never surpass mine."
Di Ling strode forward, clenching his fists. The power of the heavens oppressed Jun Moxi's body. His fists shot out, countless ripples surging toward Jun Moxi along with his fists.
"Dragon-Elephant Force." Jun Moxi roared. Terrifying dragon-elephant power erupted wildly, but under the cover of Di Ling's Heavenly Martial Soul, his power was suppressed, while Di Ling's own power grew madly. The momentum of heaven and earth was his alone.
"Boom!" Terrifying force struck Jun Moxi's body, sending him flying. At the same time, a fearsome spatial power seemed to bind Jun Moxi. Di Ling stepped forward and punched him again, coldly saying, "Let's see how long your Undying Martial Soul can last."
"Why should I hold on?" Jun Moxi smiled faintly and said, "I concede this battle."
His body landed gracefully, still so elegant, completely indifferent to victory or defeat.
"Though your words are arrogant, you must hate my Undying Martial Soul, right? No matter how you kill, you can't kill me." Jun Moxi said with a laugh, then turned and walked to the edge of the battle platform. Defeat was defeat. Di Ling's strength was indeed greater than his. However, with his Undying Martial Soul, even if Di Ling could suppress him with power, he couldn't threaten him or bind him.
"Did you see his power clearly?" Jun Moxi smiled at Lin Feng beside him. Lin Feng nodded. Di Ling's Heavenly Force was terrifying.
"Good. I was counting on you to avenge me." Jun Moxi said with a smile. Defeat wasn't that important to him. He had done his best. Victory and defeat were natural. No one could be an eternal victor. Even if you were a genius of unparalleled talent, there would always be someone more talented.
"I'll do my best." Lin Feng nodded, his eyes flickering. This Di Ling wouldn't be easy to deal with.
After this battle, Di Ling had secured a spot in the top three. As for Jun Moxi, his ranking might be third or fourth, depending on whether he would fight Lin Feng.
PS: I'm really tired today. I'm going to sleep. There will be a small burst on Sunday (some brothers say a small burst means ten chapters; Wuhén can't handle that).
