Invincibility Begins with Mastery of Fist Techniques

Chapter 287 280: Immortal

SKREEE!!

A piercing bird cry echoed through the air as Zhou Yuanjue's massive Mind Dharma Form vibrated its wings, scattering motes of fire and starlight.

The sheer immensity of Zhou Yuanjue's magnetic field pressed down on Liehong Mountain and Zhao Beidou, who were standing beside him.

'This kid...'

Zhao Beidou took a deep breath. Under the crushing weight of this tyrannical magnetic field, he could no longer voice any defiance.

An endless stream of power surged from Zhou Yuanjue's body, as if without limit.

With his self-limitations released, his body was being destroyed at a terrifying rate, wracking him with extreme pain. In response, his Yin Fire Power, combined with the Southern Dipper Starlight's magnetic field, was constantly repairing his body at an incredible speed. A precarious balance had somehow been achieved.

Zhou Yuanjue had never experienced such a wondrous state. He knew the power he could unleash now would be even more terrifying than during his battle at Songyang University.

'So it's this state again?'

Seven Desires's eyes narrowed slightly. The memory of Zhou Yuanjue's state was still fresh in his mind.

But this wasn't the battle at Songyang University. And standing here was not his Seven Emotions Puppet, but his own, most powerful body!

'How could a state that relies on self-destruction possibly be a match for me!!'

HUMMM!!

He manipulated his magnetic field, forgoing his wide-area pressure on the three of them and instead focusing it all instantly onto Zhou Yuanjue.

Instantly, Zhou Yuanjue's internal organs began to tremble, showing signs of going out of control. Correspondingly, extreme emotional fluctuations flickered across his face.

'An ability related to the Seven Emotions and the internal organs? By influencing the magnetic field of the organs, he can control a person's emotions. And in turn, he can use those emotions to harm the organs themselves.'

'If I don't stop it, this corrosion will deepen until I lose control completely.'

'But forcibly suppressing my rioting organs will cause massive damage in the process and severely impact my ability to fight afterward.'

'But... it's just a bit of physical damage, isn't it?'

Zhou Yuanjue's body shuddered violently, his internal organs convulsing. In that instant, he chose to fight fire with fire, using the most brutal method possible to choke the "emotional surge" in his organs.

This method caused massive damage to his internal organs. Blood trickled from his mouth and nose, a sight that made Zhao Beidou's heart pound with fear.

But Zhou Yuanjue didn't care in the slightest. In his current state, such an injury was trivial. As long as he wasn't beheaded, cut in half, or torn to pieces, ordinary wounds were no cause for concern.

Empowered by the Southern Dipper Star Fire, his Yin Yang Life and Death state had effectively given him a semi-immortal body.

"Let's go."

Zhou Yuanjue softly uttered two words, and his figure vanished in an instant.

'This kid really is a monster.'

Seeing how calm Zhou Yuanjue was despite his injuries, Zhao Beidou couldn't help but marvel. In the next moment, he and Liehong Mountain also charged forward to face their own opponents.

'He actually suppressed my magnetic field's influence by brute force?!'

Seven Desires watched Zhou Yuanjue rush toward him, his eyes narrowing.

Zhou Yuanjue was incredibly fast. His arms sliced through the air, making him look like a Divine Bird soaring through the astral winds of the firmament.

And behind him, the Starlight Phoenix flapped its wings in unison.

Yang Fire: Sky Raider!!

In a flash, Zhou Yuanjue appeared before Seven Desires's tall, monstrous form and threw a punch.

SKREEE!!

The Starlight Phoenix craned its neck and soared into the sky.

Yang Fire Soaring Seal!

An immense magnetic field exploded outward. The surrounding temperature soared, and the air churned around his fist, taking the form of a giant bird.

The Soaring Seal, which would have consumed most of his power under normal circumstances, was now merely his most basic attack!

Moreover, as he threw the punch, with his self-limitations released, the force he exerted already surpassed his body's physical limits.

Muscle fibers tore, joints ground down, capillaries burst, and blood seeped from his skin...

"A few months have passed. Let's see how much you've grown!!"

Seven Desires's body shot forward to meet the blow, the seven faces on the faceless black shadow behind him contorting with terrifying malevolence.

He thrust out a palm.

Seal of the Seven Emotions!

CRACK! CRACK!

The instant his palm met Zhou Yuanjue's fist, Seven Desires heard the distinct sound of cracking bone. The sound wasn't coming from his own body, but from his opponent's—the immense force of Zhou Yuanjue's punch was creating a backlash against his own frame.

But in exchange, the power unleashed was terrifying.

BOOM!!

The air erupted in a hurricane-like blast. In that instant, Seven Desires felt as if his opponent's fist was a crack in a massive dam. The moment he collided with it, the crack shattered completely.

Disintegrating, bursting, pouring forth—a torrential flood!!

He felt a slight sense of suffocation. Faced with that power, he was like a man before a bursting dam, about to be swallowed by the flood.

Amidst a cloud of dust and debris, Seven Desires's powerful, three-meter-tall, monstrous body was thrown uncontrollably into the air. He flew backward as intense heat seared his skin.

Meanwhile, the bones in Zhou Yuanjue's arm had shattered horrifically from the impact. His opponent's Seal of the Seven Emotions had also silently invaded his body once more, agitating his internal organs.

Yet, as if he felt nothing, he once again forcibly jolted his internal organs to quell the influence, raised his uninjured left arm, and charged forward again.

Straight punch! Hook! Roundhouse kick! Side kick!

Zhou Yuanjue's attacks were a dazzling blur. His right arm shattered, so his left took its place. In that brief interval, his right arm was already rapidly healing, ready to strike again.

Within moments, nearly every bone in his body had been shattered at least once. Blood seeped from his skin, only to be instantly vaporized by his high body temperature into a crimson mist. This mist mingled with the silvery-white light around him, creating a strange and savage aura.

In this moment, he forgot pain, forgot fear. All his bodily instincts were suppressed. All that remained was the conviction to defeat his opponent and the sheer ecstasy of unleashing his power.

Blood! Sweat! Muscle! Power!

It was as if he had returned to the days before his Saint Awakening. His immense Recovery Power gave him the ability to use his body with reckless abandon.

An Immortal body, a vast magnetic field, and endless Power.

He savored this state, savored this pain, savored this collision. It was like downing fine wine, like singing with wild abandon!

He was no longer a Martial Artist. He was a poet, an artist, composing an epic of blood and sweat with his own body.

The Starlight Phoenix behind him screeched in delight, soaring with brazen abandon.

This was a new, more powerful Endless Soaring!!
