Chapter 697 Absolute Strength



David nonchalantly shrugged his shoulders, displaying an air of indifference. "Mock you? Absolutely not," he responded with a dismissive tone. "Quite the opposite, I genuinely admire your strength."

The young man, taken aback by David's unexpected response, observed the curiosity gleaming in David's eyes. It puzzled him, causing his eyebrows to furrow, as he wondered why David was engaging with him in such a friendly manner, almost as if they were longtime companions.

"In my homeland, among those of your age group, you would undoubtedly be hailed as a millennial genius," David continued, his voice filled with admiration. "Without a shred of doubt, you possess the remarkable ability to surpass the constraints of conventional ranks solely through sheer power and might. I am genuinely curious, what rank do you believe you would eventually settle for in the Genius Battle?"

The young man, still surprised by David's unexpected praise, hesitated for a moment. He contemplated the question, trying to comprehend what David was trying to do.

"Not even top ten thousand? Isn't that too much. Didn't picture you to be so weak." David didn't wait for the young man to talk before he pipped in. 

"Angering me to affect my battle prowess is such a weak move. Try it on someone much weaker in your next life."

David's countenance plummeted, his expression contorting into one of dismay. And in that fleeting moment, an astonishing metamorphosis overcame him, his form rapidly expanding akin to an inflated balloon. Within half a second, he underwent a remarkable transformation, now manifesting as a colossal beast measuring three meters in height.

His body was adorned with formidable spikes, comprised of pure hardened diamond, glistening with an unparalleled gleam.

Concurrently, an immense blade slipped out from there void, emerging seemingly from the very fabric of nothingness, its breadth spanning an entire doorway, while its length surpassed that of three fully grown men. This extraordinary weapon found its rightful place in David's grasp, as though it had always been an extension of his being.

The swift and sudden motion initiated by David's transformation sent shockwaves throughout the immediate environment, affecting both the atmospheric balance and the equilibrium of the ship itself.

The vessel veered and swayed, its trajectory in space precariously oscillating from left to right, as if struggling to adapt to the force from David's body. 

Yet, before David could even raise the colossal broadsword halfway, a formidable force silently slithered towards him, reminiscent of a lethal serpent on the prowl. Its approach remained inconspicuous, veiled in an aura of ominous silence.

And then, with an earth-shattering explosion, a resounding "BOOM" reverberated throughout the vicinity. David's eyes widened in sheer astonishment, mirroring the external tumult that now permeated the air.

An audible rumble resonated deep within his very being, emanating from the core of his being as he summoned forth an unparalleled surge of power, tapping into the deepest reservoirs within his entire physique. Every fiber of his being strained and pulsated with an intensity, channeling an unparalleled output that defied. 

"BOOM!!!"

David's eyes bulged wide, filled with a mix of shock and determination. A deafening rumbling sound resonated from deep within his muscles, reverberating through the air as he unleashed an unprecedented surge of power, channeling every ounce of strength his body could muster.

The sheer force of David's exertion propelled him backward, forcing him to take ten consecutive steps. With each step, the spaceship tilted precariously, leaving behind colossal indentations akin to the mighty footprints of a legendary creature.

And then, a resounding impact shook the entire vessel, as if the universe itself trembled in response. David's bone-like spikes pierced through the ship's walls, causing a violent upheaval as his back collided with the metallic structure.

Despite his hybrid form, with half of his eyes bloodshot and the other half gleaming with a golden hue, David's face flushed crimson. It was astonishing to witness that even in his transformed state, he struggled to withstand the young man's assault. This adversary surpassed all expectations. While not a celestial-ranked individual like the Sun-fire celestial, this young man possessed the power of a galaxy-ranked monster. 

His attacks were infused with an unprecedented concentration of strength, as if he had amassed an unfathomable amount of force and energy within his very being, exceeding the limits typically associated with a galaxy rank and enabling him to unleash forces more powerful and stronger than normal. 

Unlike the Sun-fire celestial, this young man was no celestial-ranked individual but a galaxy-ranked monster! His attacks were more potent, as though he had accumulated massive amount of force an energy within his body, making him surpass the limit of galaxy rank, allowing him to exert forces even stronger than that of a celestial. 

Now, a celestial's attacks were more of a wide ranged attacks, destroying things at larger scales. For instance, instantly decimating a 500 kilometer radius. 

But this man's attack was more focused, less flowery which lead it to be more deadly and harder to deal with. 

David had just regained his baring when his spine tingled. But his entire arms were numb! Even with his diamond body, there defense of his hybrid body and other hardening-defensive technique, he was only able to resist 80 percent of his attack while the 20 percent ran freely, within him. Instantly destroying nerves and cells in his body. 

A loud bellow escaped David lips and two more hands jolted out from his waist. 

"BOOM!!!"

He was barely able to cross them when another invisible attack slammed into him like a moving Sleigde-Train. 

A massive ripple of overlapping shockwave blasted apart in a circular form. Like the effect of an atomic bomb before the raging nuclear fire. 

At that moment, the crew members still at the cockpit as well as the fearful waitresses and the passengers that had turned up to fight exploded into smithereens when they came in too contact with the shockwave. 

The metallic body of the ship wasn't able to resist. It's entire body was sliced in half. The upper body flew upwards into the vastness of space while the other half stayed in put. Probably having something to do with drastic static moment of forces. 

The young man expressionlessly gazed into the darkness of space and then towards the passengers screaming and crying as they floated in the dark vacuum. 

As though walking on land, his legs tapped softly on air, approaching David's direction. 

As for David, a terrifying expression could be seen in his face. With a roar, the seemingly make shifted coffin metal exploded as he came out from the piece of spaceship he was stuck in. 

"Quit struggling, it will only take a moment."

The young man's voice seem to have been specially transported into his ears as though it was the whisper of a secret lover. 

"Whoosh!"

The man seem to have faded into a shadowy, blending in with the darkness of space around them. Hurriedly revitalising his dead cells, his four broken arms were quickly repaired. 

"Die!"

Without warning David roared like a beast. His muscles hummed rapidly and all of a sudden, his large blade seemed to have glitched. 

"BANGIt was so fast and accurate and most importantly, unexpected to David.

The Young Man's unexpected energy burst was so fluid and smooth, it elicited remnants of shadows of blades as he attacked, leaving the audience in awe at his beauty of his blade dance. 

However, that blade dance seem to be from a night mare to David. He immediately focused all of his genetic force in his eyes trying to capture the trajectory of every single blade strike. 

But even with that, all he could capture was the shadows of the dagger. 

Numerous sounds of weapons clashing against each othis ricocheted off the battle field as the battle progressed. Yet, despite his best effort, he was gradually being suppressed by his opponent. His opponent launched his attacks very fast and accurate, thise was no way he could evade or dodge the attacks very quickly which eventually left him with only on option, blocking the attacks as fast as he could. 

In just a few seconds, he was already moving to the rhythm of his opponent, completely surpressed without no way of backing out without getting injured . He felt that the information about The Young Man wasn't entirely true, instead he had gotten a lot more stronger that stated. But he too wasn't idle eithis. 

David took in a deep breath, before suddenly withdrawing his hands, placing them apart. All of a sudden, a large burst of genetic power erupted from within him and two huge muscular arms ripped out from underneath his armpit, dripping out bodily fluid and a bit of blood.

In just a few seconds, he was already moving to the rhythm of his opponent, completely surpressed without no way of backing out without getting injured . He felt that the information about The Young Man wasn't entirely true, instead he had gotten a lot more stronger that stated. But he too wasn't idle eithis.
