Chapter 664 - 657: Breaking Out of Earth
He threw a punch. The immense energy gathered at his fist, forming a Sacred Lotus bud structure that abruptly bloomed!
This meant the immense power granted by the Sacred Lotus Structure, concentrated into a single point, was being completely unleashed!
The fist he threw instantly collided with the fist of the Ancestral Fusion Body.
For a moment, it was as if all of space had frozen still.
VMMMM!!
Then, on the Celestial Eye screens, countless humans saw a pure white beam of light suddenly erupt from the chaotic scene and shoot toward the heavens. This beam pierced through the surrounding water vapor and the heavy layers of dark clouds, aiming straight for the far horizon.
The next moment.
BOOM!!!
An immense power instantly radiated outward, with the beam as its epicenter.
Dozens of meters.
Hundreds of meters.
Thousands of meters!!
The pure white pillar of light instantly expanded to a width of thousands of meters. Like a colossal heavenly pillar, it broke through all obstacles and surged into the infinite sky!
It was a pillar of light composed entirely of immense Energy—the strongest outwardly-erupting explosive technique Zhou Yuanjue could unleash in his fully released form!
Sacred Lotus: Bloom!!
Within the pure white pillar of light, which was thousands of meters wide, the crowd could faintly see a black speck being blasted from the seabed into the sky by the terrifying column of light.
It was the silhouette of the Ancestral Fusion Body!
That massive, terrifying figure looked so minuscule before the enormous pillar of light!!
Beneath the surface, the pure white pillar of light tore a massive chasm through hundreds of meters of seawater. Under the immense force of the impact, the sea surface itself seemed to lag, and only after a long moment did the waters begin to rush back in to close the gap.
WHOOSH!!
Standing at the center of the chasm, Zhou Yuanjue let out a long breath. Unleashing an energy-release technique of this magnitude also placed a tremendous burden on him.
He quickly reached for his waist, pulled another handful of Energy Crystals from his satchel, and tossed them into his mouth. With a jolt, he stomped hard on the air, and his body shot skyward in pursuit of the figure that had been blasted into the upper atmosphere by the pillar of pure white light.
’The level of energy I’m about to release will be absolutely terrifying. If I’m still on the Earth’s surface, it’s going to cause a lot of trouble.’
VMMMM!!
As he gave chase, immense power surged wildly around Zhou Yuanjue’s body. The form of the Sacred Lotus Structure became distinct again, its countless roots swaying in the void. The very structure of his life essence coiled into a ball once more, resembling a flower bud. Atop his fists, enormous energy gathered, also forming the shape of pure white flower buds.
In an instant, he appeared before the Ancestral Fusion Body, thousands of meters high in the sky.
At this moment, the Ancestral Fusion Body remained in a state of rigid paralysis, seemingly yet to recover from the terrifying impact moments ago.
And in the next moment, Zhou Yuanjue’s relentless attacks arrived.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Enormous, lotus-shaped blasts of energy appeared one after another high in the sky, completely scattering the dark clouds for dozens of kilometers. Terrifying pillars of pure white light continuously shot toward the heavens, and amidst this unending chain of attacks, the Ancestral Fusion Body was driven ever higher.
Ten kilometers.
Dozens of kilometers.
Hundreds of kilometers...
The surrounding air grew thinner and thinner, and the temperature dropped, becoming colder and colder.
Three years ago, not long after breaking through to the King Level, Zhou Yuanjue had made an attempt: at night, he ran toward the full moon, stepping on the air itself.
But after tens of thousands of meters, his stamina had begun to fail. The air was thin, making it difficult to sustain life, and with no way to gain purchase, he could only turn back, unable to glimpse the true spectacle and mystery of the cosmos with his own body.
But now, this land, this planet, could no longer bind him!!!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Terrifying rumbles echoed endlessly through the sky as the dark clouds over the sea completely dissipated. Amidst constant collisions and entanglement, the two figures entered the high altitudes, a place no Earthly life-form had ever explored with a physical body.
The surrounding tsunamis quickly weakened due to their departure and were ultimately repelled by the Martial Artists.
Countless ordinary people stood rooted to the spot in silence, staring blankly at the scene on the screen, watching the two figures ascend higher and higher.
The color of the sky around them gradually deepened until finally, they seemed to break through some kind of membrane. Everything around them became a boundless, inky black.
It was the starry expanse of the cosmos, a sight ordinary people could never even imagine.
Countless stars twinkled, and the massive moon hung in the distance.
It exuded endless mystery and infinite possibility.
This was the final battlefield for the decisive struggle that would determine the fate of Earth. At the same time, it would also become a new beginning for human civilization.
A sea of stars!!
They had fought their way from the ground into outer space!!
They had broken through Earth’s atmosphere!!
This was a battle beyond the imagination of any ordinary person. This was an epic written with the power of humanity!!
In outer space, Zhou Yuanjue and the Ancestral Fusion Body floated in the zero-gravity void, but this did nothing to stop their fight.
They mobilized the terrifying power formed from a mixture of Divine Soul Power and the Power of the True Realm, which allowed them to move and fly freely even in zero gravity!
The intense radiation and scorching sunlight couldn’t harm them, and oxygen was no longer a necessity for beings of their level.
For them, beings who were infinitely close to True Realm Life, the universe was, in a sense, their true home turf.
"This is our final battlefield. Here, your history spanning thousands of years will finally come to an end."
Zhou Yuanjue floated in outer space. There was no air, so sound could not travel, but that didn’t prevent beings of their level from communicating.
Magnetic fields had long ago become their own, more convenient method of communication.
While they communicated, Zhou Yuanjue casually pulled another handful of Energy Crystals from the pouch at his waist and tossed them into his mouth.
With that, the Energy Crystals in his pouch were nearly gone.
The final battle between humanity and the Celestial Demons was about to enter its last stage.
Everything around him retracted, and even the aura of his very existence vanished.
But hidden within this calm was the greatest terror.
The calm before the storm.
At this moment, listening to Zhou Yuanjue’s words and sensing the changes within his body, the four ferocious faces of the frenzied Ancestral Fusion Body twisted, as if seized by an intense fear.
ROAR!!
In outer space, it tilted its head back and roared. A powerful magnetic field vibrated the surrounding space as the Nine Great Furnaces within its body began to run on overload, even... beginning to collapse.
In the space outside Earth, this would be the final blow!
