Chapter 458: Crushing Display of Power (Requesting Monthly Vote)
“Crack!”
Genos stomped violently, shattering the concrete beneath him into a cloud of sand that surged upward, encasing his body.
“Buzzzz!”
The sand condensed instantly, hardening into an ironclad stone armor as resilient as tempered steel—covering every inch except his head, yet not hindering his movement.
This was Genos’s Special Ability, Earthen Wall—granting him mastery over earth’s power, forging unbreakable defense.
As long as his feet touched the ground, his armor would endlessly replenish its strength.
Genos gripped his colossal War Axe, nearly five feet long, its blade gleaming with lethal frost.
“Boom!”
He launched himself forward like a roaring lion, the ground exploding beneath his force.
“Rumble!!”
Striding forward, his massive frame trembled with seismic impacts. Though built like a titan, his speed defied expectations—no lumbering weight like Bear Republic’s Viktor.
He exhaled sharply. A torrent of Vital Force surged like a waterfall, condensing into a dusky axe blade glowing with raw power.
“Huah!!”
The War Axe slashed through the air with a deafening roar.
Genos’s axe style was brutal and unyielding, relying purely on overwhelming strength. His lips curled into a sneer.
“Let me show you what real power means!”
A terrifying surge of force erupted into the War Axe, whipping up cyclones of wind as the ground beneath him cracked. The essence of his martial art—Land-Sundering Axe Art—materialized as a storm of destruction.
“Swoosh!”
Faced with the oppressive force, Lin Qi moved. His body quivered as his entire being erupted with Vital Force, merging with golden light into his Black Long Spear.
“Buzz!!”
The spear vibrated, its tip radiating with Golden Edge’s power.
Lin Qi twirled the spear, its golden glow expanding like a serpent’s fang. Streams of golden energy coiled around the shaft—his River and Mountain Spear Techniques unleashed. The heavens seemed to split as mountains collapsed, the ground cratering beneath his steps.
At the arena’s heart, axe met spear in a cataclysmic clash.
“Boom!!”
The collision detonated a shockwave, rippling outward like tidal waves. The air itself shuddered as if mountains had crumbled.
Lin Qi felt a monstrous force flooding his body—raw, unrelenting, like a mountain crushing every cell. The golden glow wavered, nearly slipping from his grasp.
This strength… incredible!
His arms ached—a sensation he hadn’t felt since reaching the Sixth Realm. His muscles and bones groaned but held firm. Another opponent would’ve been shredded, sent flying unconscious.
Genos’s face twitched, his jaw clenching.
“Ka-ka!!”
The axe vibrated violently in his grip, the force threatening to tear through his very frame, like a tank barreling into him.
The impact sent him staggering backward, each step carving deep trenches into the concrete. Five steps before he halted.
Lin Qi matched him—retreating four steps, his hair whipping in the gale of their clash.
Their eyes met.
Genos cracked his neck, his Vital Energy erupting once more. The stone armor thickened, the sand densifying into unyielding fortification.
Earthen Wall’s true might—while not boosting strength, it made his defense insurmountable with every passing second. Even his exposed head hardened, brown fissures spreading across his skin like volcanic rock, though less potent than the armor.
He sneered. “I was toying with you earlier. Turns out your strength isn’t shabby.”
“Let’s see how you handle this!”
“Boom!!”
Muscles bulging, veins erupting like cables, he channeled all his might into the War Axe. Charging forward, the ground quaked with each step.
Lin Qi exhaled, sizing up the foe. Genos’s power was monstrous—even dwarfing Bear Republic’s Viktor.
No more holding back. Eight-tenths power, then.
His body tensed, muscles firing in unison. Golden Edge’s power surged, coalescing into a radiant armor around him.
The Golden Radiance shimmered, revealing the flow of energies in the air—flawless clarity. Genos’s weaknesses lay bare before him.
In a duel to the death, a precise strike would end this. But this was the Global Martial Arts Championship—Lin Qi preferred to crush his foes head-on.
“Boom!!”
The River and Mountain Spear Techniques roared to life, the essence of mountains and rivers manifesting—a titan’s wrath and a river’s fury merging into his strike.
“Crack!”
The next clash split the battlefield. The War Axe and spear collided repeatedly, each impact fracturing the concrete further into a spiderweb of cracks.
Ten seconds—over a dozen exchanges. Their unyielding defenses allowed no pause, only relentless offense.
The spectators roared.
“Unbelievable! This is insane!”
“Real men fight head-on!”
“This is divine warfare—this ground can’t withstand their might!”
“Is this Lin Qi’s true strength?”
…
In the Vip section, a towering figure emerged—a black-clad White Eagle Federation representative. His broad, hirsute frame stood at two and a half meters, a lion among beasts, radiating oppressive might.
His grin was predatory, unshaken even beside Xia Kingdom’s Three Nine Realms Masters.
“The Power God is here!”
“Our Nine Realms-ranked warrior arrives!”
The crowd greeted him—a Nine Realms expert whose nickname, the Power God, heralded his status as White Eagle Federation’s pinnacle.
His allies cheered. The atmosphere crackled with anticipation.
