Chapter 115: Challenge the Entirety (7)

  "Sun Hua Wei, although you are a tenth-generation disciple of the later heaven, you don't have the heart of a true strongman." Xia Chen said, "A true strongman will not be afraid of others growing up. Everything has two sides. You want to destroy my confidence, but it just exposed your fear. You're afraid that I'll grow up. As long as this thought exists, you'll never be able to enter the realm of divine communication. You're finished."

  "You scoundrel!" A cold light flashed in Sun Hua's eyes, and Xia Chen's words were like a needle that pierced his heart.

  It was originally not mentioned by Xia Chen, and he would not have thought of it either. However, once Xia Chen brought it up, the idea suddenly became unstoppable.

  You fear his growth, you fear his growth... As if it were a ghostly errand, Sun Hua suddenly had this phrase stuck in her head, and she couldn't help but shudder.

  "You're despicable! Today, I'll smash you to a pulp!" Sun Hua gritted his teeth and used all his strength to slam Xia Chen to the ground, his anger now genuine.

  After all, he was a post-tenfold cultivator with a firm mind. Although Xia Chen's counterattack was sharp, it didn't make him collapse in confidence, but it did cast a shadow over him, which would become an obstacle when he tried to break through the divine realm in the future.

  This person suffered such a heavy blow, his confidence not only was not destroyed, but instead he could find my spiritual weakness to counterattack, no way, I must kill him... Sun Hua's mind full of murderous intent thought, his palm once again raised.

  This palm was silent and soundless, but it contained all of Sun Huawen's power, determined to kill Xia Chen with one strike, as for the consequences, he couldn't care less.

  It's now...the best chance...I can already feel the call of blood...

  Xia Chen lay motionless on the ground, but his heart was silently reciting something.

  Deep within his body, a surge of invisible and hidden powerful energy burst forth, instantly spreading throughout Xia Chen's entire physique. That was the energy transformed from Lie Yunzi's divine intent, which had finally been forced out by Sun Hua's high-intensity strikes.

  In the blink of an eye, Xia Chen's injuries were fully restored, but the surge of divine energy had yet to subside.

  Wa wa! Wa wa! Wa wa!

  His whole body suddenly emitted a sound like the raging waves of the sea, which was clearly audible throughout the venue, as if a wave had suddenly emerged in the wilderness.

  What? Everyone's expression froze instantly.

  Xia Chen suddenly sat up straight, he spat out several mouthfuls of blood clots, and his face returned to normal.

  The true energy accompanied by the power of divine thought surged into the blood vessels, stirring up wave after wave of bloody tides.

  In the blood vessels, the blood suddenly turned into various strange shapes, moving with Xia Chen's mind like an arm commanding fingers.

  The day after tomorrow, Eightfold Refining Blood Realm!

  On the verge of death, after suffering unprecedented heavy blows, Xia Chen finally broke through the seventh shackle of his acquired body and advanced to the eighth!

  His accumulation was already unparalleled, and at this moment, after breaking through the eighth heaven, a powerful force burst out, and his momentum rose crazily.

  Suddenly, Xia Chen stood up, and with a loud whoosh, his entire body emitted a deafening sound like thunder.

  "The sea!" Countless disciples pointed behind Xia Chen and shouted in surprise.

  All that could be seen was a vast and boundless ocean suddenly appearing behind Xia Chen, with waves as high as ten zhang rising up and making terrifying sounds.

  The disciples' faces turned pale and they involuntarily retreated backward, although they knew it was just an illusion, but it was too realistic to look at and inspired fear.

  Even Xie Tianfeng and Yang Qianyu couldn't hide their shock on their faces.

  "Is this his portrait?" Xu Shaobai was already stunned, muttering to himself.

  "Not bad! Eight Trigrams, External Business Image!" Chen Qiushui heavily spat out eight words, his eyes filled with boundless excitement.

  "Broken through?" The eight divine transcendence cultivators were also shocked beyond measure.

  Just as Sun Hua was about to defeat Xia Chen and end the battle, Xia Chen suddenly broke through.

  "Damn it!" Sun Hua's face was extremely ugly.

  He never expected that his strong oppression, rather than crushing Xiaochun, would instead allow Xiaochun to plant a restraint in his heart, losing everything.

  What Sun Hua couldn't tolerate the most was that it was under his oppression that Xia Chen broke through to the Eighth Heaven, and it could be said that Xia Chen's breakthrough was entirely thanks to him!

  "He's just broken through, his boundary is unstable, I can take him down with all my might," Sun Huwei thought to himself with a dark expression, suddenly letting out a furious roar, his grey hand heavily pressed down and slapped towards Xia Chen.

  If he can't defeat Xia Chen this time, he's probably won't have any chance in the future.

  Xia Chen coldly gazed at him, the vast ocean behind him suddenly churned and rose up, transforming into a massive black hand that fiercely clashed with the gray hand.

  Boom! Two terrifying auras collided, and after a brief stalemate of less than a breath, they burst out simultaneously.

  The image of painting a prison vanished into thin air, and it returned to its original appearance. The ocean imagery behind Xia Chen also disappeared along with it.

  Sun Hua stumbled backward two steps, his face shocked. He struck with all his might, but Xia Chen was able to block it, proving that Xia Chen's strength was no longer below his.

  Xia Chen gazed coldly at Sun Hua Wei, his eyes filled with intense chilliness. Sun Hua Wei not only wanted to destroy his confidence but also kill him, making Xia Chen extremely furious.

  At this time, the blood on his body was like a wave that gradually subsided, and the Eightfold Refining Blood Realm had successfully broken through. With just a thought, Xia Chen could control all the blood in his body as easily as lifting his arm.

  Lie Yunzi's divine mental energy no longer surged out, and the part that had originally surged out perfectly merged with his true energy, causing his already powerful acquired Eightfold Power to increase by more than double.

  Moreover, before and after the promotion, Xia Chen had a deeper understanding of the pre-heavenly aura twice, and his understanding of the transcendent realm became clearer and more profound, with a subtle sense of unity.

  "Sun Hua Wei, I said it earlier, the more you fear something, the more it will come. You want to destroy my confidence, fearing that I'll surpass you. Unfortunately, the more you obstruct me, the more I'll grow. To be honest, I should thank you for helping me break through." Xia Chen said calmly.

  He slowly walked towards Sun Hua, with each step, his body flashed a fierce edge.

  Sun Hua's face changed dramatically, he felt that the person walking towards him was no longer Xia Chen, but a chariot filled with invincible blades, which could tear him to pieces at any moment.

  This feeling of anxiety has not appeared for many years, but now a disciple who has just broken through the eighth heaven is making him want to retreat.

  "He suddenly let out a loud roar, using all his might to drive the uneasy feeling out of his mind: 'Xia Chen, do you think that after advancing to the 8th Heaven and shattering my Painting of Earth Prison, you can surpass me? How ridiculous! I'll let you see the true power of the 10th Heaven.'"

  Xia Chen didn't say a word, he just walked step by step, his entire body was already covered with knife edges, looking extremely sharp and dazzling, the whole person had become a huge blade.

  In the depths of his blood, countless cold lights rose and fell, piercing through blood vessels, meridians, flesh, bones, and skin, bursting out wherever there was blood. The power was several times stronger than the Seven Heavens' increase in strength.

  Xia Chen's current state is such that every part of his body can be used for attack, and he has almost no weaknesses.

  Sun Hua's facial muscles twitched a few times, and he suddenly regained his composure. He took a deep breath, stretched out his arm, and once again slowly drew a circle in front of him, as if still drawing a prison on the ground.

  Unlike others, after he finished painting, a circle that was almost visible to the naked eye really formed in the air, as if it were condensed from true energy.

  After completing one circle, Sun Hua didn't stop at all and drew another circle again, only much faster, and suddenly merged with the previous circle to form a ring shape.

  He continued non-stop, his speed getting faster and faster, drawing out over a dozen true energy circles in one breath, more and more ring shapes forming a huge ring-shaped vortex, terrifying power instantly radiating out.

  It seems that it's time to decide the winner. I wonder who will stand until the end between Xia Chen and Sun Hua. Everyone watched with bated breath, their hearts also extremely tense.

  At this time, Xia Chen's face was no longer visible, and even his figure could not be seen clearly. Only a faintly discernible snow-white human silhouette could be seen, as if performing some sort of action.

  "Are you going to use that move again, the one where all the swords converge? Unfortunately for you, I've already seen it before, Xia Chen. You can't intimidate me, and you're definitely going to lose." Sun Hua's eyes gleamed with excitement as he swung his ring-shaped vortex, his face twisted in a fierce grin.

  In a flash, Xia Chen rushed to Sun Huwei's side, and a huge blade emitted an unparalleled light, sweeping towards Sun Huwei.

  "Draw a prison on the ground, whirlpool!" Sun Hua felt an intense crisis and roared as he raised the ring-shaped whirlpool to meet that fiery slash.

  Boom! Just then, a sudden explosion-like sound came, as if a thunderbolt had fallen from the sky.

  Everyone involuntarily raised their heads to look up at the sky, but saw a clear sky with no thunderstorm in sight.

  The whirlpool and the giant blade were locked in a stalemate, seemingly evenly matched. Sun Hua's face was twisted, his complexion red, almost using all his might to eat, where was there still half a hint of calmness?

  Suddenly, a dazzling strong light emerged from the sharp edge and extended to the ring vortex, and in the blink of an eye, it turned the ring vortex into a bright color.

  Sun Hua's face fell again, and he felt a huge sense of crisis once more.

  Before he could react, the ring-shaped vortex suddenly stopped and then emitted a cracking sound, instantly shattering into countless sparkling air flows, which, along with the intense light, struck Sun Huwei's chest.

  "Ah!"

  Sun Hua let out a miserable cry, his body flying backward in an explosion of blood that spurted from his body and mouth, before heavily crashing to the ground. He struggled weakly to lift his head, revealing an extremely reluctant expression, before thoroughly losing consciousness.

  Xia Chen stopped in his tracks, and the sharp aura around him suddenly disappeared. Nobody noticed that at the moment when the sharp aura disappeared, a sparkling, electrically-charged Ruyi treasure was also put back into his abdomen by him.

  The sharp edge of the sky is just a disguise, and the one who really defeated Sun Huawen was naturally Lei Fengyin.

  He is already a postnatal eighth-order cultivator, and with the Thunderbolt in his hand, the power of the Thunder Seal has increased by at least four times. Sun Huwei is naturally no match for him. Everyone in the audience, including the eight divine communication cultivators, did not notice Xia Chen's trick.

  Xia Chen... won. The crowd was silent, staring at each other in shock.
