Chapter 278: Five Divine Outputs Battle the Imperial Body! Fury of Entropy Annihilation!

Absorb Fortune, Form Divine Aspect.

This is the process of etching Divine Patterns within the body and linking them to the heavens and earth.

If this process is interrupted, all efforts will be in vain.

"Shall I go, or will you?"

Su Changqing also opened his eyes, his gaze filled with anger as he looked outward.

He and his clone were supposed to break through simultaneously, but now one of them had to halt.

This was an Obstructing Path Enmity, a grudge that would not end until one of them was dead!

"You are the main body; I will go!"

Entropy Annihilation was enveloped in a murderous aura.

He slowly rose, and an overwhelming aura of destruction surged forth.

At this moment, in the outside world.

Amir and Wu Xiu had already approached Su Changqing, not far from him.

The powerful fluctuations they emitted caused a dark storm to rage in the area.

"..."

Lingxu Zi, who had been silent all along, took a hesitant step forward, his face showing uncertainty and conflict.

He was well aware that Su Changqing was not a bad person.

His actions on the Fenyuntaif had saved countless cultivators on the Continent.

If he were to intervene now, he could buy some more time.

However, Su Changqing's identity as a Dark Being was an undeniable fact.

If he chose to intervene, how would the World view him?

Would he be seen as an ally of darkness? A traitor to the Continent? A betrayer?

"Enough."

After a brief moment of contemplation, Lingxu Zi sighed deeply and stopped in his tracks.

In the end, he did not choose to intervene.

The Xuanqing Clan was a prestigious and righteous sect of Daoism; it could not be tainted.

Even though he knew deep down that Su Changqing had done nothing wrong.

"Humph!"

Xuanyan, standing in the void, saw this and his expression turned grim.

When did the Xuanqing Clan start to ignore right and wrong?

This generation of the Xuanqing Clan was surprisingly lacking!

He resolved that after today, he would definitely reorganize the Xuanqing Clan!

...

With Lingxu Zi's decision to stand down, it seemed no one could stop Amir and Wu Xiu.

Entropy Annihilation had already risen, ready to abandon this opportunity and slaughter those two despicable scoundrels!

But just as the dark storm was about to descend and touch Su Changqing—

A furious roar echoed through the heavens and earth.

"Heaven and Earth, Melting Furnace!"

Boom!

Infinite flames erupted in an instant.

A grand and ancient furnace descended from the sky, exuding a formidable pressure.

The interior of the Melting Furnace was like a miniature world, filled with countless flames that carried a terrifying heat, instantly enveloping Amir and Wu Xiu.

The dark storm that was about to touch Su Changqing was forcefully dispelled by the Melting Furnace.

A young girl stood atop the Melting Furnace, looking down at the crowd below with fury in her eyes.

"A bunch of shameless cowards, taking advantage of others' weaknesses!"

"You will never catch up to Su Changqing!"

Upon hearing this, Saint Feather, Zhao Batian, Amir, and the others all had dark expressions, looking displeased.

They knew that choosing to act now was out of fear.

Su Changqing was too strong.

Whether in talent or combat prowess, he was so powerful that it was disheartening.

Everyone knew that taking advantage of someone's weakness was a dishonorable act.

But they still did it, to sabotage Su Changqing's opportunity and give themselves a chance to catch up.

"Nine Hundred and Ninety-Nine Zhan Divine Output!"

As everyone fell silent, Good Deeds looked at the Melting Furnace behind Chu Xi and his face changed.

"You are an Imperial Body!"

This statement shocked the entire world.

Whether it was the great powers present or the Heavenly Prides, all of them were startled and turned their gaze to Chu Xi.

Nine Hundred and Ninety-Nine Zhan!

Ultimate Divine Aspect!

This was the pinnacle of the Divine Aspect Realm, a height that only an Imperial Body could reach.

No one had expected that, besides Su Changqing, there was another such formidable prodigy on the Fenyuntaif.

"With me here, none of you will lay a finger on Su Changqing!"

Chu Xi's small frame stood in front of Su Changqing, her young face filled with coldness.

The Melting Furnace Imperial Body represents a complete transformation in the Divine Aspect Realm.

Previously, in the Divine Output stage, she might have struggled even against Saint Feather and Ye Xiaoyi.

But now, even Good Deeds and Amir hold no fear for her!

"So what if you have an Imperial Body!"

Zhao Batian's face twisted with jealousy as he shouted,

"One person isn't enough for you, but can you handle all of us at once?"

Chu Xi merely glanced at Zhao Batian. "Trash."

Hearing the disdain in her voice, Zhao Batian's anger flared, and a hint of madness appeared in his eyes.

"Kill her!"

Amir and Wu Xiu wasted no words, grinning viciously as they launched their attack on Chu Xi.

The Blood Hell unfolded, with blood-red blades weaving a net of sharp light that descended from the heavens.

Wu Xiu, unwilling to be outdone, summoned the shadow of a Demon God behind him.

He raised his arm like a colossal hand and brought it down with a force that shook the heavens.

"Smelt Heaven and Earth!"

Chu Xi roared, and the space within the Melting Furnace expanded suddenly.

Infinite flames, like chains, linked the heavens and the earth, the intense heat warping the space around her.

Within the Melting Furnace, she wielded power like a deity, her every gesture causing the world to tremble.

Boom!

Netherworld, Demon God, and Melting Furnace.

The terrifying after-shock rippled outward, causing the spiritual energy to boil.

The clash of top-tier Divine Aspect Realm combatants unleashed destruction far beyond that of the Divine Output stage.

Chu Xi, with her Imperial Body, stood like a goddess in the flames.

Surrounded by raging flames, she held her ground against Amir and Wu Xiu, showing no signs of defeat.

This scene stunned the entire world.

The might of the Imperial Body was displayed to its fullest extent.

At this moment, Entropy Annihilation, who was about to end his seclusion, saw Chu Xi arrive just in time and resumed his meditation.

His icy gaze swept over those who had acted, and a demonic whisper escaped his lips,

"Wait for me."

...

The Dao Platform was a scene of chaos.

The vast Divine Outputs clashed, like gods and demons roaring in battle, their power terrifying.

The first to end their battle was Ye Xiaoyi's side.

Though he was strong, Saint Feather was no pushover, and with Zhao Batian's assistance, they were a formidable team.

Despite his best efforts, Ye Xiaoyi was ultimately caught off guard.

"Brother Changqing!"

In his final moments, Ye Xiaoyi's black hair danced as he turned back and roared,

"Hurry!"

Boom!

A massive spear descended from the sky, severing Ye Xiaoyi in two.

"He's had his chance!"

Zhao Batian laughed cruelly, his Divine Output floating behind him as he charged toward Su Changqing.

Saint Feather waved his sleeve, and a torrent of scorching golden flames appeared, completely erasing Ye Xiaoyi's divine consciousness.

The Azure Lotus Bud remained motionless, but a sense of suppressed rage and killing intent slowly rose.

"Back off!"

Saint Feather and Zhao Batian advanced together.

Seeing the boulder blocking their path, they attacked without mercy.

Boom!

Scorching golden flames, a massive spear, and the Thousand-Handed Bodhisattva.

Good Deeds, Saint Feather, and Zhao Batian's combined attack overwhelmed the boulder, who had been struggling to hold his ground.

The ancient mountain crumbled, and the boulder's figure became ethereal, his expression filled with resignation.

He looked back at the Azure Lotus Bud and said apologetically,

"Master Aman, I have done my best."

With that, the boulder's divine consciousness vanished.

"Hum!"

The Azure Lotus Bud trembled, and a deep, rage-filled roar, like that of a deity or demon, echoed.

The fortune descending from the heavens grew even more immense.

The surging fortune, like a mighty river, submerged the Azure Lotus Bud.

This scene made Saint Feather, Good Deeds, and the others' eyes widen.

They knew Su Changqing was about to complete his breakthrough!

"Stop him!"

Zhao Batian shouted in a panic and immediately rushed forward.

Saint Feather and Good Deeds followed closely behind, arriving at the final line of defense in the blink of an eye.

There stood a colossal Melting Furnace, engulfed in towering flames.

"You, are allying with the darkness!"

Chu Xi's face turned cold and terrifying at the sight of the three approaching.

Earlier, they had been fighting separately, so the idea of allying with the darkness had been far-fetched.

But now, if these few were to attack, they would be fighting on the same side as Amir and Wu Xiu!

This was a fundamental difference!

Good Deeds and Saint Feather hesitated, their footsteps faltering as uncertainty flashed in their eyes.

Zhao Batian, however, paid no attention and approached the Melting Furnace with a sinister grin.

"Allying with the darkness is to defeat another darkness."

"What's wrong with that?"

"Let's act together and shatter this Melting Furnace!"

Zhao Batian swung his massive halberd, and spiritual energy converged in the sky, as if ready to cleave through heaven and earth!

"Get out of the way!"

Chu Xi roared in anger, her fingertips flickering with seals. The countless fire chains inside the Melting Furnace coiled around the halberd like dragons.

The chains tightened, the grating sound of their contraction carrying a terrifying pressure that obliterated the halberd in mid-air.

Zhao Batian's face turned pale, and he retreated several steps.

"Heh, well said. You're also fighting against the darkness."

"An enemy's enemy is a friend."

Amir's lips curled into a mocking smile as he waved his sleeve, and a myriad of blood swords interwove in the air, a blood-red Netherworld descending from the sky.

Wu Xiu let out a sinister laugh, and the divine and demonic visage roared to the heavens, sending shockwaves of tangible sound waves hurtling forward.

Chu Xi took a deep breath, and a furnace-like shadow appeared in her dantian.

An overwhelming heat surged, and her body gradually dissolved, merging with the Divine Output behind her!

Golden flames spread across the sky, and the Melting Furnace visage expanded in the storm!

"Disable Su Changqing first!"

Seeing the others attack, Saint Feather immediately joined in.

A scorching sun burst forth, and the Golden Crow's cry unleashed a fiery pillar like a rainbow.

Good Deeds remained silent, the Thousand-Handed Bodhisattva visage chanting a mighty sutra, and countless seals descended from the sky, pressing down on the Melting Furnace.

Boom~

The combined power of Good Deeds, Amir, Wu Xiu, Saint Feather, and Zhao Batian's top-tier Divine Outputs illuminated the Dao Platform.

World cultivators watched in awe, their faces filled with shock.

Even the great powers were solemn, silently observing the spectacle.

The battle of five Divine Outputs against an Imperial Body would be recorded in history!

"Heaven and earth! Melting Furnace!"

"Swallow it!"

Chu Xi transformed into a furnace, and endless flames blotted out the sky. The fire chains stretched across the heavens, as if trying to smelt the world!

As the Melting Furnace expanded, it resembled an ancient behemoth opening its maw, swallowing the entire attack in one bite.

Hum!

A terrifying explosion erupted from within the Melting Furnace, and the massive furnace emitted a groan of strain.

Cracks instantly spread across the Melting Furnace visage.

But no matter what!

Chu Xi had withstood the combined attack of the five top-tier Divine Outputs!

The world was stunned, and the Heavenly Prides were speechless.

The terror and might of the Imperial Body were displayed in full force.

"Phew"

Chu Xi's divine consciousness was shaken.

She panted, her cold and proud gaze sweeping over the group, and she sneered:

"You are no good at being human."

"Whether it's talent or combat strength, you are all trash!"

Chu Xi's pride knew no bounds. In her life, she had only ever been in awe of Su Changqing.

Now, with her Divine Output condensed and her combat strength transformed, even facing five opponents working together.

Even with her Divine Output on the verge of shattering.

Her pride remained undiminished, and her gaze held only disdain and contempt!

This look instantly stung the group.

Especially those Continental Heavenly Prides who had allied with the darkness, like Saint Feather!

"Arrogant!"

"So what if you're an Imperial Body? How long can you hold out?"

Zhao Batian, seething with anger, said, "You hold him back, and I'll destroy Su Changqing!"

With that, Zhao Batian turned and bypassed Chu Xi, heading straight for Su Changqing.

"You dare!"

Chu Xi's expression changed, and she was about to act.

But Good Deeds, Amir, and the others immediately blocked her path.

"So what if you have an Imperial Body? Can you stop us?"

Amir sneered, "You'll see when we get to Yuzhi. An Imperial Body is nothing to be proud of!"

Chu Xi had no patience to deal with them.

She turned to the Azure Lotus Bud and shouted anxiously,

"Su Changqing, wake up now!"

"Can't Hold On!"

Buzz!

The Azure Lotus Bud seemed to respond to her call, emitting waves of terrifying pressure.

"Kill her first!"

Amir and the others grew pale and launched an attack on Chu Xi.

Their combined assault caused the heavens and earth to change, powerful secret techniques and spells converging on her in an instant.

At the same time, Zhao Batian also approached the Azure Lotus Bud, raised his halberd without a word, and roared,

"Die!"

He brought the halberd down with a fierce blow, and the Azure Lotus Bud exploded into fragments.

Inside, Su Changqing sat cross-legged with her eyes closed, still in the midst of a breakthrough.

Zhao Batian's eyes gleamed with satisfaction as he raised his halberd again.

"It's over."

Chu Xi's face turned deathly pale, and she had no energy left to defend herself from the imminent attack.

Among the onlookers, some sighed inwardly, while others sneered.

This blow was destined to cut off Su Changqing's chances of further advancement.

But just then!

Boom!

The falling halberd was gripped by a slender, pale hand with distinct knuckles.

The onlookers were stunned and looked closely.

They saw Su Changqing still sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed, but behind her stood a stranger.

He wore black clothing, his silver hair danced in the air, and a Black Crescent Moon was etched on his forehead.

What was most shocking was that he looked exactly like Su Changqing, but with more defined facial features and a cold, merciless gaze that exuded a destructive aura.

"Pushing me to this point, very well."

Entropy Annihilation, his silver hair fluttering, tightened his grip on the halberd.

Boom!

A surge of destructive power erupted, and the halberd shattered like a fragile egg.

"You—"

Zhao Batian's face turned pale with disbelief as he took a few steps back.

To crush a top-tier Divine Output with a single hand?

What kind of terrifying strength was this?

Amir, Good Deeds, and the others also grew pale and turned to look.

"Hey, are you still Su Changqing?" Chu Xi asked.

"Of course", Entropy Annihilation nodded.

Chu Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and then the Melting Furnace, riddled with cracks, collapsed.

Her divine sense became transparent and gradually dissipated.

As she faded away, she looked at Entropy Annihilation, clenched her fist, and waved it angrily,

"Kill these scum, they've gone too far!"

Entropy Annihilation watched Chu Xi's divine sense slowly fade, the coldness and fury in his eyes growing stronger.

Without a word, he took a step toward Zhao Batian.

"So what if you've broken through?"

Facing the approaching Entropy Annihilation, Zhao Batian's fear was palpable, and he stammered,

"We are many, even if you—"

Boom!

Before Zhao Batian could finish his sentence, Entropy Annihilation stomped his foot, and like a black lightning bolt, he appeared in front of him.

Pfft!

With a soft sound, Zhao Batian's body suddenly became ethereal.

He slowly looked down in disbelief.

A pale hand had pierced through his heart.

The onlookers were shocked.

Zhao Batian, who had condensed a top-tier Divine Output, couldn't even withstand a single blow?

How strong was Su Changqing now?

"Obstructing Path Enmity, this isn't over."

Entropy Annihilation's cold gaze fixed on the fading Zhao Batian, and he said indifferently,

"I will find your True Body!"

No one knew how enraged Entropy Annihilation was after being pushed to this point.

Ye Xiaoyi, Man Shi, and Chu Xi, who had just faded away—

"Ah—"

Thinking of that helpless feeling, the killing intent and coldness in Entropy Annihilation's eyes became almost tangible!

He slowly turned his head and looked at Good Deeds, Amir, and the others,

"Now, let's have some fun!"
