Invincibility Begins with Mastery of Fist Techniques

Chapter 288 281: Absolute Kill

A torrential gale! A waterfall from the heavens! A bursting dam! The world itself seemed to roil in chaos!

This was the visceral experience of Seven Desires, caught in the very center of Zhou Yuanjue's Endless Soaring.

'That body… That body… It's simply magnificent!'

'Everything about that man… it's enough to make one drool with envy!!'

Seven Desires's body was wracked with heavy blows, blood streaming from his mouth and nose. Even now, he still couldn't comprehend how Zhou Yuanjue possessed such formidable physical power.

He knew from their last battle at Songyang University that Zhou Yuanjue possessed an exceptionally special Spirit. He was an existence that could not be broken on a spiritual level; any pressure could be converted into power. To eliminate him, one had to attack his body and completely obliterate it.

But now, his opponent seemed to possess an indestructible physical form.

A formidable Spirit and a body that seemed Immortal, unafraid of any injury... Everything about Zhou Yuanjue actually sparked a sense of jealousy and longing in Seven Desires's heart.

'This kind of power… if it doesn't belong to the Celestial Race, it shouldn't exist in this world at all!!'

A hint of madness flashed in Seven Desires's eyes—the intense desire for destruction that manifested when jealousy and craving went unfulfilled.

BOOM!!

Sent flying by one of Zhou Yuanjue's terrifying punches, Seven Desires took a sharp, deep breath in mid-air.

WHOOSH!!

The faceless black shadow behind him seemed to dissolve back into black smoke. Then, as Seven Desires inhaled sharply, it surged through his mouth and nose, pouring into his body.

In less than half a second, the faceless black shadow vanished from the outside world. As the Celestial Demon True Form disappeared, the magnetic field that controlled the Seven Emotions also faded away completely.

Realizing his own magnetic field had little tangible effect on Zhou Yuanjue, Seven Desires transferred most of his Magnetic Field Power from the outside world into his body, leaving only what was necessary for peripheral defense.

SCREECH!!

Zhou Yuanjue's fist came hurtling toward him once more.

This time, Seven Desires didn't dodge. Instead, he met Zhou Yuanjue's attack head-on with a punch of his own.

BOOM!!

Their fists collided. Gravel and dust instantly shot up from the ground as a shockwave rippled outward. Their bodies were locked in a stalemate, seemingly evenly matched.

This time, Seven Desires was not overwhelmed by Zhou Yuanjue's terrifying Power!!

Zhou Yuanjue's eyes narrowed. He could clearly see seven protrusions, like human faces, growing beneath Seven Desires's black bodysuit. He could even make out faint expressions on them. They corresponded to the locations of his internal organs, as if the seven illusory faces from the faceless shadow had been transferred onto his body.

'This is...?!"

A thought struck Zhou Yuanjue, and a guess began to form in his mind.

'Control over the Seven Emotions allows one to influence the organs and emotions of others through a magnetic field. By that same token, it could also be used to influence one's own.'

'Furthermore, Celestial Demons naturally possess a certain degree of Mutated Ability. From the looks of it, Seven Desires's ability is very likely related to the internal organs that correspond to the Seven Emotions!'

Embodying the Seven Emotions!

This was Seven Desires's special physical ability. He used his immense magnetic field to influence his own internal organs, causing the mutated organs to exert greater power and provide his body with a stronger driving force.

The punch that had just collided with Zhou Yuanjue's—the one that made his hair stand on end in fury—was an attack rooted in the emotion of "anger."

Ultimate rage brought ultimate power.

This was the Seven Emotions Fist!

The next moment, as their fists remained locked, Zhou Yuanjue suddenly felt an immense power erupt from his opponent's fist within an extremely short range.

It was like a high explosive detonating in the space of a single inch.

This corresponded to the Chun Fist and Chun Force of Martial Arts. In terms of emotion, it was "shock"!!

THUD, THUD, THUD!!

Caught off guard, Zhou Yuanjue was actually knocked back several steps by the blow.

'Such incredible physical power!!'

Zhou Yuanjue took a deep breath. By internalizing his magnetic field, his opponent had raised his power to a level nearly equal to the explosive force Zhou Yuanjue himself generated at the cost of damaging his own body.

However, he soon saw blood seeping out from under Seven Desires's white mask.

'It seems using that level of physical power isn't without a cost to his body.'

'Forcefully mobilizing the power of his organs would inevitably cause a backlash.'

'Now, this is getting interesting!'

A smile touched the corners of Zhou Yuanjue's lips.

BANG!

The silvery-white sparks around him flared even more intensely. His injuries began to heal rapidly, and in the next instant, he charged at Seven Desires once again.

Their movements were already faster than the eye could follow. Their power was evenly matched; Zhou Yuanjue's attacks damaged his own body, but he could heal almost instantly. Seven Desires's attacks, while not as self-destructive, could not be repaired.

In a way, they were now officially on equal footing.

Of course, that was only if Zhou Yuanjue could maintain his current special state.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!

The sound of their bodies colliding was like an exchange of cannon fire. Dust and smoke billowed up, obscuring everything.

The massive commotion drew the attention of the others, who were all stunned by the sheer power of the display.

'That guy... he's actually being held back?'

Wei He narrowed his eyes, but Liehong Mountain's attack came right after.

Without the suppression from Seven Desires's magnetic field, Wei He, who wasn't at his absolute peak, couldn't subdue Liehong Mountain in a short amount of time.

'Although their raw power is inferior to ours,' Wei He thought, 'with their special abilities, it's impossible to kill them quickly.'

'In a one-on-one fight, we could just wait for their special states to run out, and victory would be ours. But unfortunately, this isn't a one-on-one battle.'

'Those other three General Level demons...'

'Without the help of a General Level demon, it seems they can't hold back that bald guy for much longer. Once he's free, the situation will become very unfavorable for us.'

"In a moment, the three General Level demons will risk everything to create an opportunity for you. When they do, abandon Liehong Mountain and join me. We'll kill my opponent first!"

Just then, a voice suddenly spoke in Wei He's mind, transmitted via a special magnetic field frequency.

It was Seven Desires.

His eyes narrowed as he glanced toward the smoke-shrouded area of the other battle.

'Looks like he's determined to take down his opponent, even if it means our side can't hold out much longer after this and will have to temporarily retreat.'

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!

Suddenly, a series of explosions erupted from the direction of Zhao Beidou's battlefield, and a massive cloud of dust and smoke instantly enveloped the area.

HUMMM!!

Immediately after, a magnetic field spread rapidly, blanketing the entire battlefield.

For a moment, the Perception Power of Zhou Yuanjue, Liehong Mountain, and Zhao Beidou were all affected.

It was the special ability of one of the enemy General level Celestial Demons: Magnetic Field Disruption!!

At the cost of grievous self-injury, the demon had completely concealed all magnetic field fluctuations on the battlefield.

Smoke to blind the eyes, a muddled magnetic field to confuse the senses!

Seizing the opportunity, Wei He's figure vanished from in front of Liehong Mountain!

With the battlefield's magnetic field concealed, Liehong Mountain's Perception Power was affected. For a critical moment, he couldn't sense Wei He's movements!

His expression changed drastically as understanding dawned.

BOOM!!

He pushed his magnetic field to its limit, instantly dispersing the smoke. The first thing he saw was Wei He charging toward Zhou Yuanjue's battle.

Just as he was about to give chase, the shadow of a Celestial Demon lunged at him. It was one of the three General Level demons fighting Zhao Beidou, launching a suicidal attack under the cover of the smoke and magnetic field disruption!

His pursuit was instantly halted. He could only watch helplessly as Wei He charged toward Zhou Yuanjue's fight.
