Chapter 222: Chu Taichu's Defeat
Chapter 222: Chu Taichu's Defeat"Is this what you call invincibility?"
Long Yuan frowned deeply,
his face full of disappointment.
"If this is what you call invincibility, I'm really starting to doubt whether it was right to shield you from the thunder tribulation when you were born?"
Long Yuan sighed.
Chu Taichu's natural talent was truly peerless,
but unfortunately he relied too much on his Supreme Physique and looked down on everything!
Thinking that with this physique he could truly be invincible within the same realm!
"No, I am still invincible within the same realm! It's just that Senior Zhennan has cultivated for more years than me! Although realms can be suppressed, combat experience and application of divine abilities cannot be compared to someone at the Immortal-tier!"
Chu Taichu stood up and said solemnly,this was the reason he had deduced.
The other party had stayed in the Chrono Pagoda for who knows how long,
possibly hundreds of thousands of years or even longer. The advantages gained during this time weren't just about realm.
At this moment,
he had completely forgotten about his own advantage of completely overpowering Chu Zhennan in terms of physique!
"So you still firmly believe you're invincible within the same realm?"
Long Yuan asked with a half-smile.
"Exactly! Unless Master finds a true martial artist of the same realm as me, I won't accept defeat!"
Chu Taichu said arrogantly with his nose in the air.
"Taichu, how dare you be disrespectful to the Beast God?"
Chu Jingyue's eyes sharpened as he shouted sternly.
Long Yuan waved his hand,
smiling as he said: "Very well, since that's the case, I'll find someone of the same realm to have a great battle with you!"
"To make you accept defeat wholeheartedly, and let you know that there's always someone better beyond what you know!"
He gently flicked his finger,
and a cold light appeared in the void,
from which a figure in red clothes stumbled and fell out.
"Who's ambushing me?"
Nihuang, who had fallen out, quickly assumed a defensive posture.
"Huh? Adoptive Father?"
Nihuang relaxed.
She had been flying toward the Ancient Phoenix Realm,
when suddenly a void force pulled her into a spatial fissure.
The sudden change made her think some enemy had appeared!
"I suddenly called you over for something!"
"There's a very arrogant fellow here who claims to be invincible within the same realm, so I want you to teach him a lesson!"
Long Yuan looked at Chu Taichu and said with a smile.
"Who dares claim to be invincible within the same realm? Did he ask you, Adoptive Father?"
Nihuang said in astonishment.
From what she knew,
her adoptive father's bloodline had long surpassed the Supreme-level bloodline by who knows how much,
who would dare claim to be invincible before him?
How ignorant must one be!
"Hahaha!" Long Yuan laughed heartily,
his adopted daughter really knew how to say the right things.
Then he said: "That's exactly why I called you here to teach him a lesson!"
"Taichu, this is my adopted daughter. Like you, she possesses a Supreme-level physique!"
"And her cultivation is lower than yours. She hasn't cultivated in the Chrono Pagoda either, so she doesn't have those advantages you mentioned earlier. Instead, you hold some advantages yourself. So? Do you have the courage to battle her at the same realm?"
Chu Taichu's pupils contracted slightly,
the other party also had a Supreme Physique?
"What? Scared?"
Long Yuan teased with a smile.
"If you're scared, you can admit defeat to her. Just don't keep saying that embarrassing 'invincible within the same realm' nonsense anymore, because you're truly disgracing those words!"
"Who said I'm scared!"
"I, Chu Taichu, from birth until now, have never known what fear is!"
"Let's fight!"
He flew first toward the training ground,
his fists clenched tightly, his aura surging tumultuously around him. Dragon and phoenix phenomena coiled around him, their majestic presence peerless!
If he couldn't defeat Chu Zhennan at the same realm,
he refused to believe he was really that weak, that anyone could come and bully him!
"Go ahead, don't hold back at all. Show me the momentum you have on the battlefield, let me see how your cultivation has progressed during this time!"
Long Yuan nodded to Nihuang,
who flew toward the training ground.
This time, it was Chu Taichu's cultivation that was suppressed to the Martial God realm.
This time, he attacked in anger,
from the very first move, he unleashed the full power of his Supreme Physique to its maximum extent,
his offensive power even surpassing his peak state from the previous battle.
He wanted to defeat his opponent with thunderous force,
to properly prove to his master that he was indeed invincible within the same realm, even when facing another Supreme Physique.
But he greatly underestimated Nihuang,
who was different from him.
Chu Taichu at most sparred with clan members,
but Nihuang, because her father died at the hands of the Extra-Terrestrial Evil Race, and the current Demon Race had countless connections with the Extra-Terrestrial Evil Race,
had always been active on the battlefield slaying demons!
The difference between them was like heaven and earth.
Even though Chu Taichu exerted all his strength,
before the same Supreme Physique, his physique equivalent completely lost its effect.
The means he had always been so proud of didn't help him at all this time,
and in the end he was defeated,
beaten very badly by Nihuang!
"What do you say now?"
"Do you still think you're invincible within the same realm?"
Long Yuan asked again: "Or can you still find some excuse for your defeat?"
"I lost!"
After holding it in for a long time,
Chu Taichu forced out these words,
immediately feeling like all the energy had drained from his body, becoming listless!
The light in his eyes was gone!
Long Yuan smiled silently,
was he already this discouraged?
He flicked his finger,
and a golden pill flew toward Chu Zhennan who was standing with Chu Jingyue.
"You're quite good. As one of the leading figures of the Chu family, you haven't disappointed me. This pill can evolve your God-tier physique into a Supreme Physique. Work hard in your cultivation from now on!"
"The world is vast, the Chu family still has a long way to go. We'll need to work hard together in the future!"
Chu Zhennan received the pill,
his body trembling with excitement.
He wasn't just happy about this heaven-defying reward,
but because he had been noticed by the Beast God,
recognized by the Beast God!
"This junior will definitely live up to the Beast God's expectations, follow in the Beast God's footsteps, and make the Chu family famous throughout the Myriad Heavens!"
Long Yuan nodded.
Chu Zhennan had great potential,
able to comprehend such a terrifying means as Battle Intent.
After all, up to now,
Chu Zhennan was still the first person Long Yuan had seen who completely comprehended this means. Perhaps this was also related to his physique.
Chu Jingyue on the side was full of envy,
the Beast God's rewards were too generous,
actually able to elevate a God-tier physique to Supreme Physique. If only he had known, he would have stepped up back then!
But he understood clearly,
with his combat power, he might very well have lost to Taichu.
After all, as clan leader,
although his cultivation had always been far ahead due to the clan fortune blessing him, he didn't stay on the battlefield every day like others.
This resulted in him possibly lacking in combat power.
And according to his speculation,
within the Chu family, aside from those few with Supreme Physiques and martial spirit possessors who could battle Taichu at the same realm, there were probably only a handful like Chu Zhennan and Chu Xiuran!
Chu Taichu looked at the pill in Chu Zhennan's hand, his heart shaking.
Elevate to Supreme Physique?
He wasn't even a match for the other party when he only had a God-tier physique.
If the other party evolved to Supreme Physique, he would be even less of a match!
It seemed all along it was just his own blind arrogance!
"As for you... go back and think carefully!"
"Come find me again when you've passed through the Heart Refining Pagoda!"
Long Yuan said to Chu Taichu.
With such poor mental state,
he definitely hadn't entered the Heart Refining Pagoda before.
Really wasting such great resources,
always thinking about relying on his so-called Supreme Physique to fantasize about being invincible!
