Aspiring to the Immortal Path

Chapter 765: Fierce Battle

Boom!

Wang Juemie's fist shook the heavens and made the mountains quake, as if a giant from beyond the stars had attacked.

From the perspective of the cultivators below, it was actually impossible to see the shape of the fist, as it had become so large that it had expanded to fill their vision, painting everything red.

But for Tang Jie, this punch was only an appetizer.

Tang Jie laughed in the face of Wang Juemie's punch. "Perfect!"

He punched back.

Two fists collided in the air like two mountains slamming against each other in a frightening boom, the resultant shockwave rippling through the heavens and earth. All the surrounding clouds were swept away, leaving only that sunset glow high up in the heavens.

"Tang Jie!" Wang Juemie roared as he punched again.

"Wang Juemie!" Tang Jie shouted back as he returned the blow.

The two of them began to exchange blows as if they were only two people in the world, hammering away at each other with great gusto. The shockwaves from their blows created bursts of rainbow light on the Seven Absolutions Sect's protective formation, such was the power within them.

In terms of power, their attacks were even above those of the usual Infant Tending Violet Palace expert.

"Raaa!" Wang Juemie bellowed, and as his left fist met Tang Jie's right fist, he suddenly squatted down and aimed at Tang Jie's abdomen with a punch from his right hand, sending him flying.

"Great Brother will win for sure!" All of the cultivators of the Seven Absolutions Sect cheered when they saw this.

Wang Juemie rushed forward, but as he kicked at Tang Jie, Tang Jie grabbed his foot with both hands and gave Wang Juemie a kick in the belly, sending him flying back.

Everyone instantly shut their mouths.

The two of them fought by simply exchanging kicks and punches.

They were both people possessing astonishing strength and astonishing toughness, both difficulty to injure. But they were using purely physical power, with not a spell art to be seen.

The True Lords of the Seven Absolutions Sect couldn't help but shake their heads. Shen Beiwang sighed, "This fighting style is like gangsters on the street. Is this how one fights? Even body cultivators should have their own divine abilities."

Ji Qingfeng laughed. "No rush, no rush. They're still testing each other. Once they've seen how much each other can take, they'll start using their real power."

Ji Qingfeng's prediction was quickly proved true.

Wang Juemie threw a punch and then smiled. "Brother Tang, I've learned much from your techniques, so I have to show you some of my real ability, or else Brother Tang will have a low opinion of me. Horn Dragon Demon Body!"

As Wang Juemie roared, various totem-like tattoos appeared on his body.

These tattoos were of a dark green color and drew various bizarre pictures on Wang Juemie's body, radiating an enigmatic light.

Tang Jie had long ago heard of the Horn Dragon Demon Body. If the Indestructible True Demon Body Refiner Art was the cultivation art, the Horn Dragon Demon Body was the combat art.

These tattoos were etched into the body using valuable herbal concoctions, and when they were being etched or being used, they put the user through excruciating pain. But in return, they granted boundless power when used in battle. In this way, the user traded in great pain for bursts of great power.

But Wang Juemie didn't seem to be in pain at all. On the contrary, he seemed to be enjoying it.

He licked his lips and then laughed. "Kill!"

Boom!

His fist flew out once more.

But the ferocity of this punch was too much for Tang Jie to block, and he was smashed away like a leather ball.

His power was terrifying.

It was the first time Tang Jie had been overwhelmed in terms of strength.

All of the spectators grew excited.

After this successful strike, Wang Juemie followed up with eighteen punches in a row, each one brimming with divine might.

These eighteen punches had a name: the Coiling Fist. This was a proper body cultivator combat technique, each punch shooting out like a coiled dragon.

Tang Jie took on his Two Heads, Four Arms form and fired back with thirty-six punches. At the same time, his body erupted with a crimson light as he activated the Flesh Millstone, but for the first time, he used it for defense rather than offense.

Even though Tang Jie countered with two punches for every one, Wang Juemie's Coiling Fist still pushed through. Ultimately, the punches ran out of power in the Flesh Millstone, but they shook Tang Jie badly enough that his body swayed.

But a moment later, Wang Juemie charged in again, the Horn Dragon Demon Body's tattoos lighting up on his body as if he was the Mother Cloud combat puppet. With his movements, a purplish-black light came sweeping forward, infused with a suffocating energy.

Wang Juemie shouted, "Tang Jie, this is the power I obtained by hunting down and absorbing tens of thousands of ghosts on the Lifeless Path! All of this ghost energy stimulated my demon body, allowing me to break through the limit. Taste my Heavenly King Unrivaled Fist! I am the Annihilation King!"

With a roar, Wang Juemie brought his fists together and thrust them forward.

This punch had only one strike, but it fired an almost solid pillar of energy at Tang Jie.

"Juemie, killing is not allowed!" several seniors of the Seven Absolutions Sect immediately shouted, fearing that Wang Juemie would lose control of his power and kill Tang Jie. This would make relations with the Basking Moon Sect much worse.

But a moment later, countless motes of light appeared around Tang Jie, rapidly flying around him and drawing a giant and glorious palace complex.

The Infinite Palace!

The terrifying fist blast slammed into the Infinite Palace with a thunderous boom, like a hammer slamming into steel, but the Infinite Palace was unaffected.

It could even block ten of the Jewel Immortal Sovereign's fingers. While Wang Juemie's Heavenly King Unrivaled Fist was strong, it still couldn't match up to the Jewel Immortal Sovereign.

"A Dao Art?" Rather than being surprised, Wang Juemie was delighted. "Tang Jie, you used your Dao Art first! Hahahaha, you're done for now!"

Tang Jie was startled. Did that mean that Wang Juemie had already condensed a hundred Dao Runes and created a Dao Art?

That was incredible!

It was no wonder Wang Juemie was praised as being the number one genius of the Rosecloud Domain throughout the ages. This feat alone was enough to put him above countless peers.

Compared to him, the likes of the Mourning Wind Maiden and Qian Yingchen were nothing.

But rather than being afraid, Tang Jie was excited to fight a proper opponent, shouting, "Then come and defeat me!"

"Of course!"

Wang Juemie charged into the Infinite Palace.

The Infinite Palace repelled energy and not people. If one simply walked into the palace, the defenses within the palace were extremely weak.

Although Wang Juemie had never seen the Infinite Palace, he was able to determine this property of the Infinite Palace with a single glance through his rich experience. As expected, the walls did not stop him, and Wang Juemie entered the palace.

His body was so large that he almost burst open the Infinite Palace.

But the Infinite Palace proceeded to transform, growing larger so that Wang Juemie would fit inside.

A majestic palace appeared in the skies, as if the Myriad Court had reemerged to grace the cosmos.

"Interesting!" Wang Juemie said.

Countless streaks of flame shot toward him.

This Infinite Palace was not the ad-hoc version that Aurora had faced, but Tang Jie's completed Dao Art, packed with countless formations.

When all of these formations were combined, they formed a massive combination formation: the Stellar Net Astral Demon Formation.

This was one of the ten supreme formations of High Antiquity, comparable to the Nine Executions Immortal Formation, so powerful that it was said that at maximum power, it could even grind a Supreme True Immortal to nothing.

Tang Jie naturally hadn't been able to lay down the formation at its maximum power, but he could slowly work on it. A Dao Art's form could not be changed once it was decided on, but that didn't mean it couldn't be made stronger, and he could keep working on the Astral Demon Formation until it reached perfection.

This incomplete version of the formation was still able to display terrifying might, and within the formation, Wang Juemie was assailed by countless gusts of wind. Within these vortices, each pebble and leaf was a lethal threat. But the most terrifying part was the black columns of smoke rising from the formation, the demonized Astral Energy refined using the Violet Energy of Primordial Fog. An ordinary cultivator would be ground into power on contact with this demonized Astral Energy. Tang Jie had had the opportunity to gain some Primordial Fog Violet Energy from Immortal Ji Yao, which was why he could lay down this formation.

The Primordial Fog Violet Energy lunged at Wang Juemie, and blood and flesh splattered from his body as if it was being ground down by a metal scrubbing brush.

This was the extent of the formation's power. This was partially because he had yet to demonize all of the Astral Energy, and also because Wang Juemie's body was just too strong.

Even so, the upper echelons of the Seven Absolutions Sect still winced, not having expected Tang Jie's Dao Art to be so formidable.

Within the Infinite Palace, the plumes of blood could be seen erupting from the black smoke.

Tang Jie floated high above, coldly watching Wang Juemie.

He was well aware that Wang Juemie was far from reaching his limit.

He still had a card up his sleeve!

As expected, Wang Juemie looked up at Tang Jie and chuckled. "As strong as expected! An excellent Five Elements Dao Art, condensing all life and time into a formation, allowing you to simulate a Violet Palace's connection to the world. Tang Jie, your methods are truly incredible. But I haven't lost yet. Let me show the prize I obtained from the Lifeless Path."

He raised his arms and let out a mighty roar.

This roar resounded through the nine heavens and jolted everyone's minds.

The Vajra Battle Will!

Empowered by the Vajra Battle Will, Wang Juemie's aura seemed to expand without limit.

His body began to shine with a light golden luster, his eyes flashing with divine light. He appeared like a god on high, proudly looking over the heavens.

He thundered, "Tang Jie, experience my Dao Art! Manifest, Only I Am the Truth!"

Boom!

An immense power erupted from within the Infinite Palace.
