this one punch seemed to possess the power of a tsunami. the power of the heavenly daos surged along with it.

hu xiaolin was a giant, and he looked like a fierce beast as he attacked long chen.

“everyone else, scram. i’m going to kill this brat alone!” shouted hu xiaolin.

“dragonblood legion, find a place to drink tea. today, your boss will demonstrate what true power is.” long chen shouted and also sent a punch at hu xiaolin.

boom!

everyone’s expressions changed as invisible power exploded.

“run!”

some of the experts that didn’t retreat fast enough coughed up blood and were sent flying. as for the dragonblood legion, they had retreated without long chen’s instructions, and then once he had told them to retreat again, they had fallen back even further. they weren’t affected.

“is this... purely the power of their physical bodies?!” cried one of the ancient race experts, wiping some blood from his mouth.

only pure physical attacks could cause them to not sense any danger. if they were to use magical arts or battle skills, they would have been on guard and retreated earlier. only the pure power of their physical bodies could erupt without causing any spatial fluctuations.

these experts wildly hacked up blood, while some of the rank eight celestials almost had their bodies collapse from that one exchange.

long chen’s fist blocked hu xiaolin’s fist. the size difference between them was immense, making long chen look weak. however, as the power between their fists faced off against each other, they were even.

“your power’s not bad. but in comparison to my xuan beasts, you’re nothing!” hu xiaolin was a bit surprised long chen could block his fist, but he was still wildly arrogant.

the xuan beasts were the most pure-blooded existences on the martial heaven continent. brute strength was their innate power. humans simply couldn’t compare to them.

after all, that wasn’t the specialty of humans. the human race specialized in magical arts and battle skills. if it weren’t for that specialty, the human race might have long since been exterminated.

while hu xiaolin was a bit surprised by long chen’s power, it wasn’t enough to stun him. in his opinion, for a human to fight a xuan beast with brute strength could only be the result of a wild overestimation of their strength.

a huge figure appeared in the sky with a primal chaos manifestation. when that manifestation appeared, all celestials felt immense pressure. it was difficult to breathe.

what was shocking was that hu xiaolin’s manifestation was not pure primal chaos, and there were some faint images within it. although they were indistinct, it was possible to vaguely see a huge figure within it. however, it was unknown what that figure was.

“an initial awakening! his manifestation is already starting to awaken!” cried out a fellow empyrean with shock. his voice was full of envy.

perhaps others were unaware of what it meant for a manifestation to have reached the point of an initial awakening, but empyreans longed for such a thing. it signified that hu xiaolin’s power had reached a new level, allowing him to suppress empyreans who had yet to start awakening their manifestations.

in truth, empyreans who had yet to awaken their manifestations were not true empyreans. in the ancient era, only people who had fully awakened their manifestations were qualified to be called empyreans.

however, after successive dark eras, the continent had declined, and there were fewer geniuses. let alone those who awakened their manifestations, even those who could give rise to ordinary primal chaos manifestations were few and far between. so even at that level, they were called empyreans now.

for ordinary empyreans, their manifestation was a mass of primal chaos, which was like an egg. an awakened manifestation was like the birth of that egg.

no one could tell what was growing inside the egg. some empyreans would live out their whole lives without awakening their manifestations and seeing what was inside.

some would also start awakening their manifestation, signifying that they had a chance to become a true empyrean. however, that was just a chance. it was still not set in stone that they would fully awaken their manifestation.

that was because awakening one’s manifestation was a long and difficult process. sometimes there was even a chance that a manifestation would awaken but still not fully form.

there was also an even crueler reality where one empyrean awakened their manifestation first, resulting in others not being able to awaken theirs.

each empyrean’s manifestation was unique. only one could exist at any time. they all had their own names, and once one manifestation was fully woken, it would be blessed by the world, making it so another could not fully form.

for instance, there might be a hundred empyreans who were supposed to awaken the same manifestation. all of them did their best to nourish their manifestation and make it awaken. however, once one person awakened their manifestation, the cruel reality was that the other ninety-nine empyreans with the same manifestation would never be able to awaken them.

seeing that hu xiaolin’s manifestation had already reached the initial awakening stage, all the other empyreans were extremely envious.

“long chen, you’ve really angered me.” hu xiaolin’s manifestation revolved around him. heaven and earth raged along with him.

“an idiot can only say idiotic things,” snorted long chen. he slowly rose into the air. “does infuriating you mean others have to pay a price? well, you killed my brothers, harmed my companions, injured my loved ones. do you know how much you’ve angered me?”

“hmph, a weak disciple of a human sect isn’t qualified to be angry. power is what matters in this world. the strong are the existences that can reap other lives, while the weak should simply crawl beneath our feet and accept their fate. your resistance will only anger the strong. that’s what’s foolish. you aren’t qualified to resist! if you resist, you’ll have to pay an even greater price!” sneered hu xiaolin. he took a single step across the air, causing the void to explode. he reached long chen in an instant, sending a kick at long chen. “an ant’s final fate is simply to be crushed by the strong!”
