Chapter 236: Why Would I, the Invincible, Run Away? Pushing Through with Force (II)

With a dazzling explosion of bloodlight, a powerful shockwave swept through the area, causing three late-stage Sixth Heavenly Realm martial arts teachers to stagger back.

Battles were erupting all over the far sections of the Yunwu Mountains. Encounters with high-level mutated beasts and clashes with demon cultists were everywhere.

Hundreds of groups of teachers were hunting, and some late-stage Fifth Heavenly Realm students were joining forces. About twenty elite demon cultists were fleeing in disarray.

But in any battle, there would inevitably be casualties.

The land in the misty mountains was devastated, trees toppled, and the bodies of two martial arts student lay nearby.

Standing over two meters tall, Maximus, clad in black armor and surrounded by black smoke, clutched a head in his massive hand, their expression frozen in horror.

It seemed that even in death, they hadn't expected someone to be so powerful.

Thud!

Casually tossing aside the head, Maximus looked proudly at the two bodies and declared, "Just a couple of late-stage Fifth Demon Mark humans, and they didn’t flee upon seeing me, even daring to attempt to surround me. What an overestimation of their own abilities.

"My Purgatory Clan reigns supreme; we’ve dominated the vast world for millions of years. There is no creature at the same level that can match our clan."

Whoosh!

The aura emanating from Maximus became even more formidable, with black demonic qi burning on his body.

Since yesterday, he had killed several level 6 mutated beasts and absorbed the vitality and essence of two human geniuses, recovering more of his strength.

However, what puzzled him was that there seemed to be fewer human geniuses in the mountain range than he had expected. He had only encountered two since yesterday.

But didn't the intelligence say that there were human geniuses everywhere here?

"It seems the situation has changed." The demonic qi on Maximus’ body continued to converge and compress, gradually turning into a faint shadow.

Feeling that something was amiss, Maximus became more cautious, but—

A long spear crossed hundreds of meters, piercing through the air with a sharp whistle. The sharp aura it emitted was something even Maximus didn’t dare to ignore.

A burst of qi exploded, the spear light sweeping across a radius of dozens of meters. Maximus, who had just concealed his aura in an attempt to blend in with his surroundings, revealed his figure, his eyes coldly looking ahead.

Three figures shot toward him. Flames of true power burned on their bodies, and in the blink of an eye, they surrounded Maximus from three directions.

Seeing the two students' bodies on the ground, the faces of the three teachers turned cold.

"Purgatory Demon Clan."

"Two students dead."

"This damn mongrel has the audacity to enter our world. I’ll chop off your head and permanently display it on the base gate!"

Surrounded, Maximus sneered and coldly spoke in the Federation’s official language. "Humans, you dare to boast in front of the great Lord Maximus? You seek death. I will slowly crush each of your heads, to let you experience what despair truly means."

Two of the humans were in the middle stage of the Sixth Demon Mark, and the last in the late stage, all lower than Maximus's prime.

His current realm had only recovered to the beginning stage, due to the suppression of the spacial cuts. However, with the strength of his True Demon lineage, he could easily suppress and kill humans of the same level.

"Hmph! I’ve killed plenty from the Purgatory Demon Clan before."

"That’s right, it's like you've never seen the world before."

"Let's go! Get him!"

As the three teachers spoke, a more powerful aura erupted from them. With their vitality circulating, their wills merged, and blood-colored chains emerged from their bodies.

Click!

The illusory blood chains connected, forming a web that covered a radius of dozens of meters, and an invisible suppressing force began to spread. Under this special willpower, the black flames burning on Maximus dimmed.

The demon's expression changed drastically. "The Blood Chain Demon Sealing Formation! You’re not ordinary human cultivators."

"No shit, I was also a genius back in the day."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The three martial arts teachers unleashed their true power, integrating their wills into their sharp blade qi and spear light, which stretched for dozens of meters.

Coupled with the suppression from the sealing formation, Maximus soon found himself at a disadvantage.

Suddenly, a dazzling black light burst out, forming an expanding sphere of flames. For a moment, waves of air rolled, and a massive shockwave swept through, causing the ground to tremble and towering trees to collapse wherever it passed.

Amid the howling wind, a black light burst forth and dashed hundreds of meters away, revealing Maximus. However, he looked somewhat bedraggled, completely devoid of his previous arrogance. He sprinted into the depths of the forest, not looking back.

"Fuck! The bastard actually had a Demon Crystal Bomb on him. Otherwise, we would've finished him off just now."

"We'll chase after him. Old Feng, you take the students’ bodies back and inform the others. This is a noble of the Purgatory True Demon Clan, powerful and possibly carrying bloodline abilities."

After a brief exchange, two of the teachers became streaks of light and took off in pursuit of Maximus, leaving behind Feng Tianfu, at the middle stage of Sixth Heavenly Realm.

He glanced at the two bodies that had gotten swept away during the battle, then shook his head slightly and walked over to collect them into his Sumeru Bracelet, planning to return and have the school logistics department send them back to the outside world.

For these teachers, who had returned after joining the military, life and death were something they had witnessed countless times and had long become accustomed to. That didn’t change even if these two students were geniuses vigorously nurtured by the schools.

The official approach to nurturing geniuses had always been to provide them with basic resources and arts to facilitate a quicker and more systemic start. However, to gain more afterward, they needed to demonstrate a certain level of strength and cultivate a habit of constantly striving for improvement, rather than relying on everything being handed to them on a silver platter.

Another tactic to avoid overly sheltered students was allowing them to experience bloodshed on the mutated beast battlefield. While the schools controlled the general direction of training, students still had flexibility in how they chose to train.

Those who desired stability could stay within the base for their daily training, while those with better talents and a more adventurous spirit could delve into the Jiuhuan Mountains, or even the higher risk Yunwu Mountains, to hone and elevate themselves.

This range of training intensity and danger level was usually categorized into three levels, and all of them were considered controllable. Even in this sudden emergency, the officials had calculated the degree of risk. Whether or not to go, which level of danger to choose, was up to the students.

However, this boost of resources didn’t make geniuses immune to death, as these two unfortunate students proved. Not only had they not heeded the order to form a group of four or five, but they had also encountered a formidable member of the Purgatory Demon Clan.

Otherwise, with their combined strength at the late stage of the Fifth Heavenly Realm, reaching the peak of the Fifth Realm or even the beginning stage of the Sixth, they could have faced the elite demon cultists and still come out unscathed.

This kind of situation could only be attributed to extremely bad luck, and the same could be said for Maximus’ situation of being chased everywhere.

On the other hand, Chen Chu's luck was relatively good. Through map positioning, he had encountered another demon cultist.

In the valley, standing at three meters tall with a physique even more burly than Li Hao, Kolant emanated a black light, resembling an ogre as he exuded an oppressive aura.

Looking at Chen Chu standing with his halberd, Kolant smirked. "Today’s my lucky day. I just got rid of a few human experts, and now I run into a Federation genius.

"I'm going to crush every bone in your body and tear you apart while you scream in despair, just like that little guy last night. He wailed for a long time, and in the end, I ripped his head off."

As Kolant described the scene from last night, a look of ecstasy appeared on his face; coupled with his ferocious appearance, it made him appear extremely sinister and twisted.

Chen Chu replied calmly, "So, you've already killed some students."

"Oh? Are you scared now?" Kolant grinned ferociously, and the black light on his four-meter-long mace fluctuated, as the ground beneath his feet exploded.

With a roar and a frenzied aura, Kolant rushed toward his opponent, his large figure casting a shadow against the setting sun.

Unfortunately, he was facing Chen Chu.

An extremely violent force erupted from Chen Chu's body, causing his muscles to expand and his armor to creak. His entire body was covered in golden dragon scales.

Whoosh!

An infinite amount of physical strength burst forth as the ground beneath Chen Chu's feet collapsed. The air around him burst, forming gusts of wind blowing in all directions that caused the grass and trees within a ten-meter radius to bow down.

Such a terrifying scene made Kolant's face pale.

Just then, a halberd descended from the sky like a collapsing pillar, gathering invisible but heavy force and pulling in the surrounding light as if space itself was distorting.

Block it! Kolant roared inwardly. He channeled all of his power, causing his body to expand once again in an instant, and swept his mace upward with both hands.

The halberd and the mace clashed, and a circle of substantive black and gold shockwaves erupted. Under the indomitable force, the surrounding air was instantly annihilated, creating a dark area where visibility was distorted.

However, despite his effort to block the attack, the ground beneath Kolant collapsed, forming a crater over ten meters in diameter that swallowed half of his body. Under the unrivaled and overwhelming force, Kolant's armor dimmed, his skin cracked, and an endless amount of blood spurted out.

With just one blow, he had been severely injured, and an indescribable terror surged within him. Suddenly, he felt his grip loosen.

Before Kolant could react, the golden-red light in his eyes expanded at a speed his body couldn't keep up with...

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Energy exploded with every heavy blow of the halberd, shattering the earth with each strike. After the fifth blow, Chen Chu slowly stopped.

The area in front of him had been turned into ruins. A fan-shaped crater had formed, with rows of cracks half a meter wide and dozens of meters long lining it.

Kolant, who had boasted about tearing Chen Chu apart, now lay at the bottom of the pit. His mace was twisted into a U-shape, his transcendent armor had shattered, and his lower body had been completely pulverized by the halberd’s unstoppable force, leaving only his upper body.

In his eyes, there was now only confusion and astonishment. It seemed he couldn't believe that he would be defeated by a student from the Federation with such absolute dominance and unmatched strength.
