Chapter 353 - 269: Before the Law, the Flesh Is but an Illusion
Su Xin used Instant Teleportation to a remote part of space, and after a few minutes, finally saw Yuuntai.
The first round of their invisible competition ended with Su Xin achieving a resounding victory.
Yuuntai’s eyes were full of surprise and admiration:
"Your ability is quite strong!"
A wave of Immortal Sense radiated over, making Su Xin seem to hear the other party’s words directly.
Su Xin currently didn’t have this ability and didn’t want to use True Qi to speak, fearing it would break the effect of the Suffocation Barrier, so he just smiled.
Then he moved, releasing the Arrow Body trait, and with Telekinesis accelerating him, he charged at his opponent with a clenched fist.
In space, there is no resistance, and moving is extremely smooth, but in the universe, distances seem infinitely large, so even with Su Xin’s current terrifying flight speed of several thousand times the speed of sound, he appeared to move as slowly as a tortoise.
As an Earth Immortal Realm Powerhouse, Yuuntai remained calm in the face of Su Xin’s speed.
He also wanted to test Su Xin’s strength. Ten years ago, he didn’t see Su Xin’s battle with Ancestor Xuanzhen; he was drawn by the intense spatial fluctuations. At that time, Su Xin had died once, using the Immortal Golden Body to withstand the spatial rift, and Yuuntai only witnessed Su Xin’s formidable defense, not his combat prowess.
At extreme speed, Su Xin’s whole body surged with True Qi, his cultivation fully erupted, and all his power was focused on his fist.
In the silence.
A fist and a palm clashed together.
Su Xin’s strength, over the past ten years, had reached tens of millions of pounds. It might not seem exaggerated on an Extraordinary level, roughly equivalent to the weight of a small aircraft carrier, but with a punching speed that was at least ten thousand times the speed of sound, it was terrifying!
The speed of light is only over 800,000 Mach.
His punch was at one-tenth the speed of light. Such speed combined with such strength, was akin to a small aircraft carrier flying at one-tenth the speed of light, its destructive power far surpassing all known weapons. A single strike could completely shatter a continent, perhaps even destroy a planet.
But his opponent Yuuntai was no ordinary foe.
As an Earth Immortal Martial Artist, he was one of the top powerhouses of Luotian Continent, his Martial Arts Cultivation could be described as reaching the heavens.
His every move could shift mountains and overturn seas.
He could easily create a small world with a flick of his wrist.
If not for Su Xin’s presence, Yuuntai alone could easily subdue the entire White Mountain Star, treating everyone like ants to toy with at will.
Faced with a punch capable of shattering a continent, Yuuntai casually blocked it, as if it were no different from a mundane fight, leaving no ripple of power in its wake, devoid of any spectacle.
"This power is quite astonishing."
A hint of surprise flickered in Yuuntai’s eyes.
Su Xin had mentally prepared for this and wasn’t surprised by the result; he unhesitatingly sidestepped, moving to Yuuntai’s side, and punched again.
"Relying on strength alone... that won’t do."
Yuuntai’s gaze shifted towards Su Xin.
After Su Xin threw the punch, the front half of his arm near Yuuntai disappeared, as if it entered another space.
But Su Xin’s keen eyes saw clearly that his arm hadn’t entered another space; it was being compressed.
In other words, the space was elongated.
An arm approximately half a meter long should occupy half a meter of spatial distance, but near Yuuntai, a space that appeared only one meter long was stretched, seemingly forming a distance of ten thousand miles.
As Su Xin thrust his arm into it, it suddenly seemed less than a micrometer.
It could hardly strike Yuuntai at all.
So how could it harm him?
"In the face of the Law, pure Physical Strength, no matter how strong, is meaningless..."
Yuuntai said faintly.
In just an instant of two encounters, Su Xin witnessed the other’s power firsthand, able to take his full-strength blows head-on and toy with him using the Law.
In a head-on confrontation, he was no match.
To this, he was not disheartened.
The opponent had been cultivating for who knows how many years, an invincible Earth Immortal powerhouse born among countless generations on the vast Luotian Continent. Having received the system for only a decade, it was natural not to be the opponent’s match.
His greatest strength was his defense, his life-preserving ability, and that’s what he needed to verify the most.
Thus, Su Xin retreated a distance, choosing not to attack anymore and instead motioned for the opponent to attack.
"Is it my turn to attack?"
Yuuntai smiled slightly.
He had witnessed ten years ago how Su Xin easily withstood spatial rift attacks unscathed, knowing the other’s defense was formidable. Now aware of his supernatural resurrection ability, he wasn’t worried about killing him and attacked decisively.
With a wave of his hand, a massive amount of refined True Qi surged from his body, instantly forming a True Qi Longsword as if it were tangible.
The sword slashed down harshly toward Su Xin’s head.
Su Xin did not dodge.
It was still an uneventful collision.
Su Xin remained unmoved, while the True Qi Longsword trembled slightly.
This deflection was entirely due to the Suffocation Barrier, and its defensive effectiveness did not disappoint Su Xin. He could feel the barrier didn’t waver, clearly, the opponent’s attack hadn’t yet approached the defensive limit of the Suffocation Barrier.
