Chapter 149: Invincible momentum!
"Boom!"
As Jiang Yun moved, he was as swift as thunder, directly punching Hun Feng's head. Black flames coiled around his fist, emitting a terrifying high temperature, as if it would evaporate the sky.
"Petty tricks!" Faced with Jiang Yun's fierce offensive that erupted in an instant, Hun Feng was not afraid. He let out a loud shout, not only showing no signs of retreat but also pushing the Dou Qi within his body to its limit.
Countless pitch-black flames also rose within him. Almost instantly, the flames rapidly condensed, quickly forming a tangible black shield.
"Black Flame Shield!"
"Bang--"
The fist did not stop at all, directly slamming heavily onto the shield. Immediately, two distinctly different yet very similar pitch-black flames, like rushing thunder, rapidly intertwined.
However, the flame within Hun Feng's body was, after all, only a sub-flame, and not the most advanced Heaven and Earth Sub-Flame. The Holy Heavenly Demon Flame was extremely overbearing, sweeping past rapidly. The dense pitch-black flame on Hun Feng's palm instantly melted away at an accelerated rate.
Seeing how overbearing Jiang Yun's flame was, Hun Feng's brows furrowed, and he immediately recalled Jiang Yun's identity: the only disciple of Nihility Devouring Flame.
He thought that Jiang Yun's sub-flame level must be stronger than his own. Thinking of this, Hun Feng became even more jealous of Jiang Yun's identity.
"Boom--"
A terrifying force struck, but Jiang Yun did not give up his attack. When the Nihility Devouring Flame sub-flame in Hun Feng's body was repelled, Jiang Yun immediately increased the power of the Holy Heavenly Demon Flame.
"Not good--"
Feeling the fiercely burning Holy Heavenly Demon Flame, Hun Feng snapped back to reality, secretly thinking 'not good.' His figure trembled slightly, and afterimages appeared, while his body instantly appeared in mid-air.
At this moment, his face was slightly somber as he looked at his right arm. A scorched mark about three inches long had appeared on his entire right arm.
No blood seeped out from near the wound, because at the moment of contact, the surrounding blood vessels were incinerated by the terrifying residual heat of 'Nihility Devouring Flame.'
Without time to adjust, Jiang Yun's even more terrifying attack followed closely, giving his opponent no breathing room.
Jiang Yun's eyes opened and closed, terrifying energy brewing within. In an instant, he unleashed terrifying beams of flame. Two terrifying beams of flame tore through the void in front of him.
Immediately after, a large hand reached out, accompanied by a terrifying roar, as if to drag the enemy's soul into hell.
"Get lost!"
Hun Feng let out a long cry, his five-star Dou Zun aura fully erupting. Being suppressed like this by a one-star Dou Zun, Hun Feng's heart was filled with uncontainable humiliation. He roared, raised his fist, and struck.
One after another, extremely powerful high-level Dou techniques were also unleashed at an astonishing speed. For a time, energy overflowed in the sky. Such an earth-shattering battle also attracted many onlookers.
"It's Lord Hun Feng."
"And the one fighting him is... is Jiang Yun, that disciple of Lord Void!"
After recognizing their identities, the Hun Clan was in an uproar. At this moment, everyone remembered what Hun Feng had said when Jiang Yun first arrived in the Hun Realm.
Enter the Dou Zun realm, and we'll have a fair fight!
They hadn't expected Jiang Yun to reach the Dou Zun realm so quickly, and it just so happened that Hun Feng had emerged from seclusion, leading to this battle.
However, why did the more powerful Hun Feng seem to be in a bad situation?
"Can he win?" Some of the onlookers whispered in their hearts. They hoped Jiang Yun would be defeated. An outsider suddenly becoming a disciple of Nihility Devouring Flame—this disparity was extremely difficult to bear.
Moreover, seeing Jiang Yun advance from Dou Wang to Dou Zun in just three short years, this astonishing speed—even a divine bloodline wouldn't be this terrifying!
There must have been help from Nihility Devouring Flame in this!
Thinking of this possibility, everyone's gaze towards Jiang Yun became even more jealous!
An aboriginal from the outside world actually surpassed the prodigies of an imperial clan. This huge disparity weighed heavily on everyone's hearts.
But...
As the battle progressed, Hun Feng's situation in the arena seemed to be a bit grim!
"Rumble!"
The sky shook, and the earth churned. Their battle was too wild; the sky and earth became their battlefield.
"Soul Severing Hand!"
In the sky, Jiang Yun's figure flickered, and he appeared directly above Hun Feng. He pressed down with a palm instantly, and immediately, a huge energy palm print tore through the air, fiercely sweeping towards Hun Feng below.
"You dare to use my Hun Clan's Dou Technique against me?"
However, facing Jiang Yun's fierce offensive, Hun Feng sneered and shook his head, letting out a long cry.
"Myriad Souls Funeral!"
Hun Feng rapidly formed hand seals. Immediately, a series of roars sounded, and countless mournful skulls flashed out from behind him, converging in the sky to become a purplish-black skull emitting waves of chill.
The moment the skull formed, it surged towards Jiang Yun, finally colliding with the handprint in the sky.
At the moment of impact, there was no energy explosion. Instead, the attacks of both sides began to fiercely erode each other the instant they made contact.
"Dong--"
Jiang Yun's attack struck once again. His Dou Qi seemed endless, showing no signs of weakening. Compared to Hun Feng, it was as if he was the one with the more profound cultivation.
A pitch-black great halberd appeared in the sky, with black flames coiling around its shaft, making Jiang Yun appear like a demon god, full of oppressive power.
"Kill!"
Jiang Yun's attack became even more berserk. With a raised hand, the great halberd, imbued with terrifying power, heavily slashed down towards Hun Feng.
"Pfft--"
Under Jiang Yun's berserk attacks, Hun Feng could only struggle to cope. However, prolonged defense inevitably leads to mistakes. Under Jiang Yun's powerful assault, he eventually exposed a flaw, and Jiang Yun's halberd struck him, causing him to spit blood and fly backward.
"Hiss--"
Seeing this scene, the surrounding Hun Clan members immediately burst into an uproar. No one had expected that the more highly cultivated Hun Feng would be utterly suppressed by Jiang Yun from the very beginning, without any room to resist.
Now he was in an even more precarious state, on the verge of defeat at any moment!
Jiang Yun, holding the great halberd, walked step by step towards Hun Feng. Each step he took carried a terrifying might, making it difficult for everyone to breathe.
At this moment, a thought arose in their minds: Jiang Yun was already invincible.
"Cough, cough, cough." Hun Feng clutched his collapsed chest, coughing up large mouthfuls of blood. His eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at Jiang Yun, roaring, "How could I lose? I have the Hun Clan's divine bloodline! No one can defeat me!"
Looking up at Jiang Yun, who was approaching unhurriedly, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in Hun Feng's eyes. He said sinisterly, "Do you know the biggest difference between us?"
Without waiting for Jiang Yun's reply, Hun Feng, with a hint of arrogance in his brows, continued, "It's the Dou Di bloodline. You 'mortals' will never know the power of the Dou Di bloodline. Now... let me show you the might of the Dou Di bloodline and make you feel the gap between us!"
As his voice fell, purplish-black light slowly swirled in Hun Feng's pure black pupils. At his glabella, a rune also slowly emerged—that was the Hun Clan's clan mark. Hun Feng had already undergone his coming-of-age ceremony, and because of his divine bloodline, he was bestowed with the highest-grade clan mark.
And as the Hun Clan's clan mark appeared, Hun Feng's aura almost instantly surged dramatically. In the blink of an eye, he broke through to the peak of the nine-star Dou Zun level.
Feeling the surging aura within Hun Feng, Jiang Yun's eyes burst with intense brilliance. He let out a long cry, "What Dou Di bloodline? It's merely the legacy of predecessors. One day, I will be an imperial clan myself!"
Hearing Jiang Yun's domineering words, the surrounding Hun Clan members were all stunned. They watched the spirited figure, punching Hun Feng, who had activated his clan mark, causing blood to fly everywhere.
At this moment, everyone's hearts were filled with nothing but shock, so much so that they overlooked Jiang Yun's earlier contempt for the Dou Di bloodline.
"Bang!"
Hun Feng's figure was sent flying by Jiang Yun, crashing onto a stone mountain beneath his feet. At this moment, he was exceptionally miserable, covered in scorched marks. It was hard to imagine that someone possessing a Nihility Devouring Flame sub-flame would actually be injured by flames.
He lay limp on the ground, unconscious, his dark robes soaked in crimson blood. If not for his breathing, everyone would have doubted whether Jiang Yun had beaten Hun Feng to death.
"Someone, take Hun Feng for treatment!" After dealing with Hun Feng, Jiang Yun turned and scanned the crowd, speaking calmly.
After speaking, he unhurriedly walked into the distance, his nonchalant demeanor as if the fierce battle just now had not involved him.
Looking at that white-robed figure, always calm and composed, everyone's hearts were now filled with reverence. The Hun Clan was a race that fully embodied the law of the jungle.
After Jiang Yun defeated Hun Feng, no one among this generation's prodigies could contend with him. This generation of the Hun Clan had three divine bloodlines: Hun Feng, Hun Yu, and Hun Ya.
Among them, Hun Feng's strength was the greatest. Now that even Hun Feng was defeated, no one in this generation of the Hun Clan was a match for Jiang Yun.
Coupled with Jiang Yun's invincible stance just now, which was deeply etched into everyone's minds.
Everyone now felt a sense of sincere admiration!
"Alas, where did Lord Nihility Devouring Flame find such a monstrous kid!" Just then, a helpless sigh suddenly echoed throughout this world.
A somewhat hunched, aged figure slowly appeared beside Hun Feng. His eyes were deeply sunken, like black holes, possessing infinite suction. When one's gaze fell upon them, one could almost not help but be drawn in, giving an extreme sense of mystery.
"Elder Hun Shang."
As soon as the old man appeared, the surrounding crowd immediately bowed in haste, respectfully saying.
Hun Shang nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to Hun Feng and sighed softly. He extended his somewhat withered palm, pointing a finger. A gentle energy surged from his palm, then completely enveloped Hun Feng's body.
And under the bathing of these gentle energies, the burn marks on Hun Feng's body rapidly faded, and in the blink of an eye, all external injuries completely disappeared.
External injuries are easy to treat, but internal injuries are not!
After glancing in the direction Jiang Yun disappeared, Hun Shang picked up Hun Feng and vanished from the spot.
With Hun Feng's defeat, this terrifying news rapidly spread to every corner of the Hun Realm.
Who was Hun Feng? One of the three divine bloodlines of this generation of the Hun Clan. From the performance of the three, Hun Feng was more outstanding, hailed as the most likely candidate to become the Young Clan Leader, representing the most outstanding prodigy of this generation of the Hun Clan.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been bestowed a sub-flame by Nihility Devouring Flame!
But now, he was defeated, without suspense, by Jiang Yun, the disciple of Lord Void.
Although Jiang Yun had become a disciple of Nihility Devouring Flame, the people of the Hun Clan still harbored a sense of superiority deep down, believing that they possessed the imperial clan's bloodline, while Jiang Yun was merely an 'ordinary person.'
But now, their most outstanding prodigy was overwhelmingly defeated by Jiang Yun. Everyone who witnessed the battle knew that it was a thorough and complete crush (crushing defeat).
No one could imagine how powerful this man had become. In a competition of the same realm, without any tricks, he crushed Hun Feng. That unfathomably terrifying combat power sent shivers down everyone's spines.
What's more, this was an upward battle. Hun Feng used his clan mark, raising his strength to a nine-star Dou Zun, yet there was no suspense at all. He was crushed without even making a ripple.
This caused the Hun Clan members, who had always held a sense of superiority due to their bloodline, to feel a profound sense of loss.
Jiang Yun's current status as an 'ordinary person' was no longer a point of disdain, but rather an additive that made his current achievements even more legendary.
It was also because of this identity that even many Dou Saint elders were particularly amazed by Jiang Yun's performance, calling him a talent of unparalleled genius, and saying that in the future, he might even reach the level of Hun Tiandi and Nihility Devouring Flame.
This was already an extremely high evaluation. Within the Hun Clan, Hun Tiandi and Nihility Devouring Flame held extremely high positions. Unlike the Gu Clan, where Gu Yuan was still constrained by the Elder Council.
Within the Hun Clan, Hun Tiandi's words were like an imperial decree that no one could defy, and Nihility Devouring Flame was nearly the same.
One can imagine how highly Jiang Yun was regarded within the Hun Clan now... "Your flame has recovered to the level of the top ten on the Heavenly Flame Ranking list. It can already suppress one of my sub-flames!" Nihility Devouring Flame looked at his nominal disciple in front of him, and even he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion at this moment.
The other party was indeed a peerless prodigy. If he were to put himself in Jiang Yun's shoes, he might not have done better than Jiang Yun.
Could it be because the other party's flame originated from the Great Thousand World, and after coming to the lower realm, it still had a suppression of its status?
"It's nothing remarkable. Although I cultivate the Dou Qi Continent's system, my essence is a flame from the Great Thousand World. My Dou Qi is more condensed and powerful than that of cultivators under similar conditions. If I couldn't even do this, then I wouldn't be qualified to cooperate with you!"
Jiang Yun spoke without hesitation, saying that he came from the upper realm, and crushing opponents of the same rank was nothing surprising.
"Furthermore, it's just your sub-flame, and it's your weakest sub-flame!"
"Naturally, although you haven't fully recovered either, being able to suppress one of my sub-flames is already very impressive!" Nihility Devouring Flame's eyes flashed with understanding. He nodded, concluding that this was the only explanation. Then, hearing Jiang Yun's words, he commented with a confident tone. (End of chapter)
