Chapter 150 - 149: Earth Giant God, Unrivaled on Land (Part 2)
Yi Beidou took five steps, and five stars appeared in the sky. He had arrived at the center of the square to stand opposite Yuri.
In his eyes, Yuri’s entire aura and True Intent seemed to delve deep underground, connecting with the whole earth.
"You only took five steps? Your peak should be seven."
Yuri said calmly.
As he spoke, the very ground rumbled and trembled. At this moment, it seemed as if his every action could cause a geographic shift.
This terrifying influence made the expressions of the crowd turn solemn.
If any Martial Artist below the level of Ascension were to stand before this man, they probably wouldn’t even be able to withstand the sound of his voice.
"That depends on whether you have the strength for it."
Yi Beidou replied calmly.
"It seems I’ve been underestimated."
Hearing this, Yuri’s expression didn’t change in the slightest. He didn’t attack immediately. Instead, he took off his loose, black hooded sweatshirt, casually tossing it aside to reveal an explosive upper body physique.
The next moment.
Yuri’s fists suddenly clenched.
BAM!!
His already tall frame began to grow even taller, and his muscles, already like granite, swelled once more.
He was activating his Dharma Body!
The transformation of his body reached an unprecedented level.
Back then, when the Killing Heart Buddha, Wei Cheng, had used his Buddha’s Body, his height had shot past two and a half meters. And Derek’s own physical changes during battle were already terrifying, nearly comparable to a Saint Body.
As the current greatest master of the Titan Stream, how could Yuri’s Dharma Body be ordinary?
Before the shocked eyes of the crowd, Yuri’s already large frame grew more and more terrifying.
Two and a half meters.
Two-point-seven meters.
Three meters!!
In the end, Yuri’s height settled at around three meters. His muscles were so chiseled they looked like actual rock, and his physique was so robust it defied description.
He was just like a mountain giant.
This kind of physical change was equivalent to a "transformation."
The members of the Dexing Martial Arts Club stared wide-eyed, completely speechless. The surrounding spectators were also deathly silent. Someone’s camera slipped from their grasp, clattering to the ground.
Th-this...
Derek’s physical transformation had been within the realm of comprehension, but Yuri’s current state... He wasn’t even human anymore, was he?
Could it be that Deities truly resided within this man’s body?
And Yuri’s power wasn’t just the pressure from his size, or even the amplification of his strength.
THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!
The beating of his heart was like a war drum. Most importantly, with every beat, the earth trembled slightly. With every rush of his blood, the crowd could almost hear a subterranean current responding from deep underground.
It was as if he was influencing the entire land, or as if he *was* the land itself.
This was an extremely deep resonance. Yuri’s Life Magnetic Field had almost completely merged with the earth, the two interacting and influencing each other.
His pulse was the pulse of the earth. His strength was the wrath of the earth.
The Body of the Earth Giant God!!
"On land, no one can defeat Mr. Yuri."
Derek muttered to himself, a reverent light glowing in the eyes of the few people from the Starry Sky Country.
"I hope you can take at least one of my moves!"
Even with his body expanded to this degree and his blood and Qi surging to their absolute limit, Yuri’s expression remained as tranquil as the earth, displaying immense Spiritual Control Power.
He was completely different from Derek.
His mind and body were equally complete, without any weaknesses.
Otherwise, he never could have become the current greatest master of the Titan Stream.
THUMP-THUMP-THUMP-THUMP!
Suddenly, the blood rushed faster through his veins. His resonance with the earth grew more intense, and the ground’s trembling accelerated as if something was about to erupt.
Just then, Yuri suddenly strode forward, his massive body blocking the sun, and pressed a palm down toward Yi Beidou.
In that instant.
BOOM!!
The surging blood in his veins seemed to detonate. The entire ground felt like it was cracking open. With the force of his punch, it was like a volcanic eruption, with magma from deep within the earth’s crust bursting forth, unleashing the planet’s most terrifying power.
Earth Flame Vein Fist!!
This was a Technique Yuri created after mastering the Earth’s Magnetic Field and traveling the world to observe volcanic eruptions up close.
His True Intent stirred the Power of the Earth Veins, activating his physical abilities, giving every punch and kick the might of a volcanic eruption.
The members of the Dexing Martial Arts Club cried out in alarm. In their eyes, the ground suddenly split open as scorching, crimson magma surged out and shot toward the sky.
It was almost no different from them actually standing on the edge of a crater, facing a volcanic eruption up close.
They were completely unprepared for this. Leaning against the large trees did nothing. They felt the world shake and once again fell right on their butts.
It wasn’t just them. This time, even the spectating Martial Artists couldn’t avoid it. Aside from the Saint Experts who could hold their ground, even those at the Soul-Stealing Peak were forced back again and again by the terrifying power and True Intent, their scalps tingling with fear.
As for the spectators positioned on the tall buildings around the square, the influence of a Saint Expert’s True Intent couldn’t cross such a great distance. However, they could see the undeniably real and shocking scene with their own eyes.
The moment Yuri threw his punch, everyone clearly saw a crimson brilliance suddenly burst forth from the square and shoot toward the sky, just like a volcanic eruption or a firework display.
Just what kind of terrifying power was this?
Facing this palm strike, a sharp light glinted in Yi Beidou’s eyes. Demon Flame instantly erupted around him, isolating him from the influence of the True Intent in Yuri’s Technique as he met the attack with a palm strike of his own.
His Demon Body was majestic, like a great tree rooted in the earth, questioning the heavens!
Celestial Demon Inquiry Dao!!
This Technique was the first in Yi Beidou’s Martial Arts, and also the one he used least often.
Because using this Technique meant that his opponent’s attack had made Yi Beidou feel pressured.
And these days, opponents who could make Yi Beidou feel pressured were few and far between.
At this very moment, Yuri was one of them!
BOOM!!
The two palms collided. However, this time, the Celestial Demon Inquiry Dao did not have its intended effect.
The instant they clashed, Yi Beidou felt the earth tremble. The technique within his Celestial Demon Inquiry Dao, the Cyan Wood Heart Intent that rooted him to the ground, was instantly broken, leaving his Demon Body without a foundation.
This was what made Yuri so terrifying.
Rooted in the earth and controlling the Earth’s Magnetic Field, he could sever his opponent’s connection to the ground. The entire area was his home field.
Under the fluctuations of his True Intent, the ground beneath his opponent’s feet might as well have been a surging tide or a steep cliff. There was simply no place to stand!
A terrifying Power surged toward Yi Beidou, but with his feet seemingly suspended in mid-air and no ground to stand on, he could exert less than half of his strength. How could he possibly resist?
BAM!
His body was instantly sent flying backward through the air like a cannonball for more than twenty meters.
WHOOSH!!
While in mid-air, Yi Beidou used his powerful core strength to control his body and adjust his position. He executed a sudden heavy drop to land on the ground, forcing himself to stabilize. His feet still slid for another three or four meters before he came to a complete stop.
The crowd fell deathly silent at this scene.
They had only just exchanged blows, and Yi Beidou was already completely suppressed?
Even Meng Qianyuan and the others had expressions of disbelief.
Ever since they had started following Yi Beidou, this was the first time they had seen him come out on the losing end of a direct confrontation with an opponent.
Meanwhile, smiles had already appeared on the faces of Derek and the others.
The Earth Giant God is invincible on land!
"I see. So I’m not just fighting you, but the very earth beneath my feet? That’s quite tricky. I really did underestimate you."
Yi Beidou’s expression was calm. This man’s control over his True Qi’s influence had indeed reached a state of perfection.
He didn’t just borrow power from the earth for his body; he could also use it to manipulate the forces of nature to affect his opponent.
The area around him was a Dao Field, a Barrier, a Realm.
A powerful physique combined with the power of the earth was truly a terrifying combination.
A moment of carelessness and even he had nearly suffered a major loss.
However, this ability was not impossible to counter.
"Then let’s see who has a stronger influence over heaven and earth."
Yi Beidou said calmly.
VMMMM!!
In the sky, a sixth star began to shine, and the Demon Flame around Yi Beidou flared violently.
And that wasn’t his limit.
The Seventh Step!!
Yuri had proven that his strength was worthy of Yi Beidou’s full effort.
Half the sky completely darkened. The Beidou Seven Stars blazed in the heavens, casting a beam of starlight, like a spotlight, down to cover Yi Beidou.
Beneath his clothes, the light of seven bright stars could be faintly seen shining from his chest.
Yi Beidou’s presence and physique also underwent a dramatic change.
Taller, menacing, cold, and aloof.
The Seven Stars blazed in the sky, masters of life and death.
His every move carried a powerful aura and a commanding presence that was hard to forget.
The God of the Big Dipper!
"So... handsome!!"
Shen Jiayue had just scrambled up from the ground when she saw this, and her jaw dropped.
"A Radiant Sacred Mark..."
Moncalis couldn’t help but be a little dazed.
Back then, his own Sacred Mark had transformed from blood-red to gold—the so-called "Radiant Sacred Mark."
Heaven and Earth Divine Power combined intimately with one’s own magnetic field, spontaneously generating light.
He had only just comprehended it and had yet to fully master it, but his opponent, in a single night...
Moncalis forced himself to push aside these distracting thoughts and stop thinking about it. He was afraid that if he dwelled on it any deeper, his Daoxin would collapse.
’I just don’t know if Yi Beidou can contend with Yuri in this state.’
TAP, TAP, TAP!
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Yi Beidou, wreathed in Demon Flame and guided by starlight, walked step by step back in front of Yuri.
This time, they stood less than two meters apart.
Yi Beidou’s height now exceeded two-point-two meters. His physique was strong and perfect, like a giant among ordinary people. But standing in front of Yuri now, he looked almost "delicate," creating a powerful visual contrast.
This was not the proper distance for a duel between experts.
What did Yi Beidou want to do?!
The crowd was puzzled.
Yuri, for his part, showed no intention of attacking. He simply looked down at Yi Beidou before him, a hint of amusement in his eyes.
He wanted to know just what his opponent was planning to do.
Yi Beidou’s expression was calm. He turned slightly to the side, bent his legs into a stance, placed one foot flat, then raised an arm and extended it toward Yuri.
This was...
Seeing this posture, the expressions of the crowd changed instantly.
In the previous battle, Derek had made the exact same gesture toward Meng Qianyuan.
It was an invitation to a contest of strength.
Yi Beidou wanted to compete in a contest of strength with this creature that now looked like a monster of muscle and sinew?!
The crowd was dumbfounded, their mouths slightly agape.
Even Yuri, standing opposite Yi Beidou, was momentarily stunned when he saw the stance, a look of astonishment on his face.
Then, the calm in his eyes shattered, and he couldn’t help but throw his head back and roar with laughter.
