Chapter 151 - 150: Severed from the Earth: Strength Uproots Mountains, Qi Covers the World
HAHAHAHA!!
Yuri threw his head back and laughed, the sound waves spreading far and wide. Even the ground trembled violently with the force of his laughter.
Derek and the other members of the Starry Sky Country couldn’t help but chuckle.
This man seemed to have used some kind of Secret Technique, and his strength had clearly increased significantly. His aura was indeed powerful and blazing, but he wanted to arm wrestle Mr. Yuri?
It was a gross overestimation of his own abilities.
Their Titan Stream was strongest in terms of physical power, and his opponent was Mr. Yuri, no less.
His strength was one with the earth. Arm wrestling him was like playing tug-of-war with the planet itself—it was practically asking for humiliation.
It seemed this man’s mind had been affected after entering this state from his Secret Technique.
The many Martial Artists nearby also wore expressions of disbelief, and the crowd of spectators on the outskirts burst into an uproar.
"This Mr. Yi is going to arm wrestle that muscle-bound monster?! Is he insane!"
"Maybe he knows he can’t win, so he’s looking for a more respectable way to lose? After all, it’s not so shameful to be defeated in your opponent’s strongest area."
"That’s a real possibility. Sigh... these foreign Martial Artists are all like monsters. How is anyone supposed to fight them? Their biological and Cultivation technologies are ahead of the world again. The gap is just too wide."
"..."
The crowd buzzed with discussion, believing this was likely a calculated move born of desperation on Yi Beidou’s part.
The excitement from when Meng Qianyuan defeated Derek was now slowly cooling in everyone’s hearts.
On the square.
Yuri’s laughter slowly subsided, and his expression returned to one of calm. He watched Yi Beidou, gradually adjusting his stance into an arm-wrestling position, pressing the sole of his foot against Yi Beidou’s.
Since his opponent wanted to challenge him in his "Divine Realm," he certainly wouldn’t refuse.
BANG!!
Their hands locked in a tight, interlocking grip, and the air around them trembled slightly.
At this moment, with their feet pressed together and hands clasped, the difference in size between Yuri and Yi Beidou was even more striking and exaggerated.
Recalling the strength and Divine Power Yuri had just displayed, it was hard to imagine how anyone could defeat such an opponent in a contest of strength.
As Yi Beidou and Yuri’s gazes met, their magnetic fields intertwined, and a brilliant light flashed between them, creating a momentary, iridescent glow.
Just as the energy between them built to its peak...
BOOM!!
Both men simultaneously unleashed terrifying physical strength. The veins and muscles on their arms swelled as if they were about to explode, and their fiery breaths kicked up dust from the ground.
The entire ground suddenly sank, and the spot where they stood caved in.
The instantaneous clash of power shattered the concrete of the square and the stone bricks beneath, as the soft soil below could not withstand the force.
But when two Saints arm wrestled, how could it be a simple matter of physical strength?
The influence of their True Intent and magnetic fields erupted at the same time.
BOOM!!
Demon Flames erupted from Yi Beidou’s body, soaring into the sky.
A crimson light exploded around Yuri, like a volcanic eruption.
The clash of their True Intents threw the surrounding magnetic field into disarray, causing chaotic, aurora-like ribbons of multicolored light to appear in the space around the square.
The people on site were fine, but the citizens watching from a distance on their devices found their screens instantly became a blurry mess.
’So this is why the quality of so many online videos is terrible? The powers of people like this can even affect electronic devices?!’
Their contest of strength reached a temporary stalemate. A flash of astonishment crossed Yuri’s eyes; he hadn’t expected Yi Beidou’s physical strength to be this great.
’Is this the result of him using that Secret Technique with all his might?’
’It’s quite formidable, but unfortunately, this isn’t the full extent of my power.’
BOOM!!
The ground beneath Yi Beidou’s feet suddenly began to tremble violently. The solid earth seemed to turn into a fluctuating water surface, making it difficult for him to exert his strength.
The moment he lost his balance, he would instantly lose the match.
However, this technique had already been used against Yi Beidou once. How could he fall for the same trick twice?
FWOOSH!!
The Demon Flame on his body burned fiercely, but this time, its target wasn’t the Sky, but the earth.
The light of the flames surged madly down his legs and into the ground.
The Heaven-Devouring Demon Flame could refine the natural magnetic field. Not only could it "devour the heavens," it could also "consume the earth"!
The effect Yuri was exerting on him was unbelievably powerful, almost like a force of nature, but it was ultimately just an influence on the magnetic field, not a true earthquake.
’As long as I can neutralize this magnetic field’s influence, the ground beneath my feet will be solid once more!’
’This is...’
Yuri’s eyes narrowed slightly as he felt the terrifying power of Yi Beidou’s blazing Demon Flame.
He knew this man’s Demon Flame was domineering and ferocious, but he never expected it could even refine and sever the Power of the Earth.
’As expected, he won’t be that easy to deal with.’
One of his techniques was broken, but Yuri’s expression didn’t change in the slightest.
Because he was standing on unbeatable ground.
He was connected to the earth; it was impossible for any living creature to move him with pure force.
It was like a single person trying to move a mountain. It was impossible.
’Next, I just need to raise my power by another level.’
THUMP-THUMP! THUMP-THUMP!
His heart began to beat violently again. His blood surged, and his resonance with the earth deepened.
His expression gradually became ferocious. His body swelled another size, and his hair stood on end.
Yuri’s power was still increasing!
HUMMM!!
As he exerted more force, the earth trembled even more violently, and the beams of light swirling above the square grew more chaotic. This time, even the Saint Experts couldn’t help but take a step back.
In their eyes, Yuri had completely transformed into a colossal giant who reached the heavens. His feet were fused with the earth, and his body was as massive as a great mountain.
Their center of gravity began to shift, gradually tipping toward Yuri’s side.
"It seems these are all the tricks you have. In that case, the game is over."
But at that exact moment, Yi Beidou’s voice suddenly rang in everyone’s ears.
He spoke as if he wasn’t the one at a disadvantage, but Yuri.
The next moment.
FWOOSH!!
Yuri suddenly discovered that the Demon Flame on Yi Beidou’s body was surging up their clasped arms and spreading rapidly onto him, quickly enveloping his body.
And that wasn’t the end of it. The Demon Flame flared and spread until the entire five-meter radius around them was completely engulfed.
Furthermore, the Demon Flame was still spreading toward his feet.
’This is bad...’
Yuri’s pupils contracted. Yi Beidou’s actions had once again exceeded his expectations. He couldn’t believe that while using the Demon Flame to protect himself, his opponent still had enough power left over to expand it to such an extent.
This man’s physical strength was already terrifying, but his True Intent Power was far greater than his physical body’s.
This gave him a bad premonition, reminding him of a defeat he had once suffered in the Starry Sky Country.
That man, like a Sky God, had pulled him into a boundless "Void."
He was indeed unbeatable on land, but what if he wasn’t on land?
FWOOSH!!
The Demon Flame blazed, refining the magnetic field of the world and changing the surrounding environment.
At this moment, although Yuri’s feet were still on the ground, he was no longer "on land."
He needed a connection to the Earth’s Magnetic Field to create a resonance and unleash his terrifying strength. But now, Yi Beidou’s Demon Flame was refining the surrounding magnetic field, effectively isolating him from the environment and severing his connection to the ground!
’If he’s unbeatable on land, then I just have to make sure he’s no longer on land!’
This was easier said than done; the actual difficulty of implementing it was immense.
The Earth’s Magnetic Field was vast beyond measure, and Yuri’s resonant connection with it was incredibly firm.
This was on a completely different level from simply neutralizing the influence of his True Intent.
Neutralizing his True Intent was like walking around a mountain. But severing his connection to the earth was almost like uprooting that same mountain from the ground entirely.
What kind of immense True Intent and magnetic field influence would that require?
It was almost equivalent to shouldering a mountain!
Among all the Saints Yuri had ever met, only that man, the Sky God, possessed such a terrifying magnetic field ability.
In truth, before Yi Beidou had perfectly mastered the Seven-Star Divine Power, accomplishing this would have been quite difficult, and would have required paying the price of extreme physical damage.
But now, the situation was completely different.
Having perfectly mastered the Seven Stars, his strength had reached a new peak. With his powerful foundation boosting it, the ability of his Demon Flame had naturally risen as well!
He no longer needed to pay a great price to unleash this peak power!
’Even without the help of the Earth’s Magnetic Field, my physical strength is far beyond that of a normal person!!’
Yi Beidou’s Demon Flame could sever his connection to the earth, but it was impossible for the Demon Flame alone to affect his body’s personal magnetic field.
’My Titan Body possesses infinite strength. How could it be underestimated?’
A brilliant light shot from Yuri’s eyes. He pushed his own strength to its absolute limit and let out a low roar.
In the next moment, however, the expression on his face froze.
The instant his connection to the Earth’s Magnetic Field was severed, he felt an irresistible, terrifying force wash over him.
His nearly ten-foot-tall body, weighing at least 550 pounds, was suddenly airborne, yanked into the sky by the smaller figure in front of him with a sudden burst of power.
Hidden within that seemingly unremarkable frame was a power capable of shaking the sky and the earth.
This insane scene, with its stark contrast, was an incredibly shocking sight for everyone watching.
It was as if they were watching a man uproot a giant tree far larger than himself, shoulder a massive mountain, or lift a colossal bronze cauldron.
His strength could uproot mountains, his spirit eclipsed the world.
HAAH!!
Yi Beidou let out a sharp cry. His muscles knotted and bulged, each fiber as distinct and taut as a steel wire.
He swung the massive body, far larger than his own, in a wide arc through the air and slammed it heavily into the ground.
CRASH!!
The ground shook violently as dust and shattered rock flew everywhere.
And that was only the beginning.
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!
The crowd stared, dumbfounded, as Yi Beidou held onto Yuri’s hand, using his massive body like a sandbag, swinging him around and repeatedly smashing him into the ground.
The ground shook continuously, as if in an earthquake.
Only this time, it wasn’t caused by Yuri’s True Intent, but by sheer, physical impact.
The insane and terrifying power contained within Yi Beidou’s body made everyone’s scalp tingle with fear.
Just what kind of power was this?
It was just too violent!
Meanwhile, Derek and the other members of the Starry Sky Country stood frozen in place, their mouths hanging open unconsciously as they watched the scene unfold, completely stunned.
