Chapter 208 Slaying an Origin Core Realm Exper

Chiren narrowed his eyes in wariness.

He could tell at one glance that even though it was the same attack as before, the power behind Lu Tianzi's sword strike had increased dramatically.

"Let me see just what you are capable of!" Chiren shouted, partly also to dispel the doubts in his heart.

Chiren struck out with his palm, sending another condensed fireball towards the approaching Lu Tianzi.

This time, Lu Tianzi no longer chose to dodge.

Sword light clashed directly against the ball of fire, splitting the flames and creating a path down the middle for Lu Tianzi to charge right through.

What?!

Chiren could not help but feel shocked at this outcome.

Earlier, Lu Tianzi was barely able to contend with the peripheral energy of his attack. But now, Lu Tianzi was actually able to completely disregard the entire ball of fire?

His strength increased by this much after revealing his Spiritual Essence cultivation?

In that case, Chiren would no longer hold back either!

Chiren traced his spatial ring, and pulled out a jade orb that fit perfectly into his palm.

The orb bore the red of flames, its colours perpetually shifting as though there was liquid fire flowing within. It emitted an intense fire element energy that swept across the entire isolated space.

This was Chiren's own treasure weapon, the Burning Heavens Orb.

During the forging process, Chiren allowed it to absorb intense earth flames for a full decade, and spent yet another decade assimilating his Essence energy into the orb, cultivating it into the perfect treasure weapon that was completely in sync with him.

When Chiren held the Burning Heavens Orb in his hands, the strength of all his fire element attacks would be amplified, allowing him to burst forth with even greater strength than before.

"Let's see if you can still remain as arrogant!" Chiren sneered as he struck forth with his palm.

Yet another condensed fireball shot out towards Lu Tianzi, who frowned in response.

From the energy undulations, Lu Tianzi could easily tell that the power behind Chiren's attack was no longer at a level that he could deal with easily.

Lu Tianzi had no choice but to dodge to the side, but not before slashing out with his sword once more. This time, he was not aiming at the incoming fireball, but at Chiren himself.

"From that distance?" Chiren mocked. "Have you already run out of ideas?"

He knew fully well that Lu Tianzi did not possess any long ranged sword skills. The fact that Lu Tianzi had revealed his Spiritual Essence cultivation would not change that in any way.

Lifting his fingers, Chiren was just about to direct the condensed ball of fire to swerve towards the dodging Lu Tianzi when Chiren suddenly froze in surprise.

His surroundings were rapidly descending into a world of absolute darkness, with a ghastly apparition roaring towards him.

As Chiren was trapped in this world, Lu Tianzi easily evaded the earlier ball of fire.

"So this is the illusion attack that the old man was harping on about?" Chiren mused.

Chiren ignored the incoming apparition, concentrating on driving the Slaughter Essence in his inner world to the limit. The Burning Heavens Orb in his hands glowed brightly, flooding the entire area with an intense red light.

"Wherever you are, just die."

Burning Heavens Nova!

A terrifying premonition stopped Lu Tianzi dead in his tracks. He could sense a surge of Essence energy welling up from within Chiren, about to explode into the surroundings.

And before he knew it, a burst of flames erupted from the Burning Heavens Orb that was in Chiren's hands.

It was like a supernova, bright and intense, sending out in all directions a heat wave that seemed capable of annihilating all signs of life.

This was Chiren's solution to the Howling Wraith Sword.

If he could not see his opponent, then he would send his attack in every single direction!

In the face of such an overwhelming attack, Lu Tianzi hurriedly retreated.

He activated the inscription skill of the Astral Way Inscription, slashing out with his Torrential Sabre again and again in a bid to reduce the impact from the incoming flames.

Finally, Lu Tianzi was forced to abandon the Howling Wraith Sword, slashing out with the Sword of Ivory Rock in tandem with his sabre.

At this moment, the world around Chiren instantly regained its colours.

"How pathetic," Chiren scoffed.

The difference in their cultivation levels meant that Chiren's mental strength was way above Lu Tianzi's. Wanting to trap him in an illusion was far from easy!

Around them, the inner walls of the giant bell shook violently upon being struck by Chiren's omnidirectional Burning Heavens Nova.

At the same time, Lu Tianzi cursed inwardly as he finally dissipated the last bits of flames that had headed in his direction.

But Lu Tianzi did not curse because of the difficulty in cancelling out the earlier attack.

He did it because from the corner of his eyes, he saw that Chiren was now wielding a flaming javelin in his hands.

From the wild energy undulations emitted from the javelin, Lu Tianzi knew for a fact that this flaming javelin was even more threatening than any of the attacks from before!

"It seems that an area attack does not have much effect on you, but what about this?" Chiren grinned before throwing out the javelin.

Whoosh-!

The flaming javelin was, just like the fireballs earlier, a materialisation of Chiren's Essence energy. However, it was multiple times faster than the fireballs, and had its energy fully concentrated at the pointed tip.

If the condensed fireball was a compact bomb that exploded upon impact, this flaming javelin would be an unstoppable strike that focused on penetrating through a single targeted point.

In comparison, the flaming javelin was countless times more difficult to stop!

Lu Tianzi stood his ground, preparing for the incoming flaming javelin.

Judging from the sheer speed of the flaming javelin, there was simply no way that he would be able to avoid the attack.

Since that was the case, he could only take it head on!

Lu Tianzi gathered his Essence energy into the Sword of Ivory Rock in preparation.

This time, he had to make sure that he breaks through Chiren's attack!

A silvery light flashed across his eyes.

Bang-!

The inner walls of the giant bell trembled again, seemingly having received another attack.

Hmm?

Chiren narrowed his eyes.

He did not know how it happened, but he could clearly feel that the flaming javelin had suddenly reduced in strength.

What he did not know was that Lu Tianzi had just tried to redirect the flaming javelin through the Limitless Mirror Eye.

Unfortunately for him, the Essence energy composition of the flaming javelin was far too concentrated for the current Lu Tianzi to handle.

If he had forcefully gone ahead with the plan, the heavy burden on Lu Tianzi's eyes might even result in a far more devastating injury than if he had taken the attack head on!

Thus, Lu Tianzi had no choice but to settle with pulling away only a portion of the flaming javelin. In fact, he had focused on pulling away as much energy as possible, and was not even able to fully control the direction of release.

In the end, the remaining energy had ended up slamming into the inner walls of the giant bell, but that did not matter.

What Lu Tianzi had to focus on dealing with right now was the incoming flaming javelin.

Even though its power had been reduced slightly, it was still a terrifying force to be reckoned with!

Returning Wraith Sword!

Lu Tianzi finally slashed out with the Sword of Ivory Rock.

Sword light flashed once again, slashing out towards the flaming javelin.

But things did not go as well as he had hoped.

Earlier, Lu Tianzi had been able to split apart Chiren's attack, even charging out through the middle.

This time, however, Lu Tianzi could immediately feel the strain on his body upon impact, as though he had been struck by a giant hammer.

"Argh!" Lu Tianzi could not help but groan out in pain.

Even though the flaming javelin had already been reduced in power, the Returning Wraith Sword was still insufficient to stop it!

This was the first time that his all out attack had been stopped entirely in its track, and that was not even the end of it.

Crack-!

Lu Tianzi watched in horror as a long crack appeared on the blade of the Sword of Ivory Rock, drawing a line across the edge of the sword.

It seemed that as a Peak Essence Condensation rank weapon, the Sword of Ivory Rock was no longer sufficient to keep up in a fight of this magnitude.

Damn it!

Lu Tianzi decisively pulled away the Sword of Ivory Rock, allowing the remaining energy of the flaming javelin to slam into him.

Bang-!

Despite being strengthened by the Titan's Guard Inscription, the Nine Dragons Flexible Armour trembled greatly upon receiving this attack.

Lu Tianzi was sent sliding back by the impact, and could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood. Thankfully, the flaming javelin had expended all of its energy as well, and dissipated into the air.

However, Lu Tianzi was not happy about the result at all.

If nothing else, he had grossly underestimated Chiren's strength.

The Nine Dragons Flexible Armour had been designed to block most attacks from martial artists under the Origin Core realm. Even attacks from weaker Origin Core realm martial artists could be mitigated to a certain extent.

With the addition of the Titan's Guard Inscription, its defensive capability was even higher than before.

Yet despite all that, the scales on the Nine Dragons Flexible Armour had already started to break apart.

This meant that in a single strike, Chiren's flaming javelin had actually dealt severe damage to two of his Peak Essence Condensation rank equipment!

This will not do.

As the battle dragged on, he would only lose more and more of his combat strength.

There was no other choice.

He had to settle this as soon as possible!

What Lu Tianzi did not know was that Chiren was currently just as worried as he was.

Chiren might have looked at ease when throwing out the flaming javelin, but it was actually his strongest attack, birthed from the limits of his comprehensions into the Law of Fire.

Even so, all it did was to damage Lu Tianzi's equipment, not even causing all that much injury to Lu Tianzi himself!

At this rate, how was he ever supposed to get rid of this guy?

The only way he could think of was to slowly wear down the other party, but there was a huge problem with that method.

Chiren's Essence energy was starting to run low!

He could recover Essence energy after meditating for a while, but his opponent would never allow him to do so.

At this point, Chiren was starting to regret chasing after Lu Tianzi this hastily.

If he had just taken some time to recover after losing Lu Tianzi in the burning forest, he could be in a far more advantageous state right now.

But there was no time for regrets.

Chiren's thoughts were quickly broken by a sudden surge of World Origin Energy around him.

This is…?

He anxiously swallowed a mouthful of saliva as he sensed a gargantuan amount of World Origin Energy gathering upon Lu Tianzi's sabre.

It seemed like Lu Tianzi was about to activate the inscription skill on his sabre, yet there also seemed to be something different about it.

After all, this amount of World Origin Energy should be far greater than what the inscription skill was capable of holding!

By now, Lu Tianzi had put away the damaged Sword of Ivory Rock, firmly holding onto the Torrential Blade with both hands.

His mind was focused.

His eyes were sharp.

And his gaze was locked onto none other than Chiren who was standing not far away from him.

Lu Tianzi drove his Spiritual and Slaughter Essence to the limit, drawing upon all the Essence energy in his inner world.

There was no holding back.

Rather than let this fight drag on, Lu Tianzi was intending to settle everything with this strike.

Incidentally, this would be his first time using this move after breaking through to the Essence Condensation realm.

By combining the concepts of the Undulated Currents Breathing Technique and the Astral Way Inscription, tapping on all of his Slaughter and Spiritual Essence energy, this was his strongest attack!

Lu Tianzi planted his leg into the ground and slashed out.

With that, the World Origin Energy that had gathered upon the Torrential Sabre exploded in an instant.

A wave of violent energy shot out from the Torrential Sabre, forming a crescent that rapidly expanded out from the arc that was formed by Lu Tianzi's sabre light, heading straight towards Chiren.

Astral World Slash!

Chiren could clearly sense the danger that this attack posed, and hurriedly retreated.

At the same time, he drove his Slaughter Essence to the limit, forming yet another flaming javelin in his hands. This time, the flaming javelin contained every last bit of his remaining Essence energy, and gave off energy undulations that were even stronger than the one before.

Chiren could tell that Lu Tianzi was intending to end things here, and thus he was definitely not going to hold back either!

"Stop joking around! I am a Third Cycle Origin Core realm martial artist! How can I lose to a brat at the Essence Condensation realm?!" Chiren roared in anger as he tossed out the flaming javelin.

The flaming javelin pierced forward, slamming right into the crescent wave.

Bang-!

It was a thunderous collision, yet the result was nowhere near as even.

The crescent wave of violent energy completely overwhelmed the flaming javelin, continuing forward towards Chiren.

Having expended all of his Essence energy, all Chiren could do was watch in despair as the wave of violent energy approached.

"You monster…"

Slash-!

The crescent wave passed right through Chiren's torso, continuing on and smashing directly into the inner walls of the giant bell.

Bang-!

After receiving this many attacks, the materialised giant bell could no longer handle the pressure, finally dissipating into nothingness as though it had never existed in the first place.

And with the disappearance of the giant bell, the figures of Lu Tianzi and Chiren were revealed to the outside world, both of them falling over to the ground.

Lu Tianzi had completely expended all of his energy in that last attack, and no longer had the strength to stand.

As for Chiren, that last attack from Lu Tianzi had reaped away his life in one fell swoop.
