Chapter 774 Li Ba arrives at the door, attempting a challenge, but is utterly defeated!
The news that Li Ba was going to challenge Ye Tian spread like wildfire.
It spread to every corner of the War God Academy at an even faster pace than before.
"Have you heard? That Li Ba who awakened from the ancient wilderness went straight to Ye Tian!"
"Li Ba? Is that the ancient freak who supposedly tore apart a pureblooded beast with his bare hands and proved his Dao through strength?"
"That's right! It's him! His aura is terrifyingly violent, like a humanoid savage dragon being born!"
"Hurry up! Hurry up or we'll miss the show!"
"The Xuanhuang Sacred Body has just been defeated, and the Powerful One has come knocking again. It seems that these ancient freaks have been thoroughly enraged by Ye Tian Divine Son!"
In an instant, the winds and clouds stirred!
Countless divine rainbows streaked across the sky, flowing from all directions of the academy towards the area where Ye Tian's palace was located, like rivers flowing into the sea.
In the sky, in the void, on the mountaintop, and even some elders secretly cast their watchful glances.
The previously subsided atmosphere was reignited, and it was even more intense than before!
Everyone wanted to witness firsthand the emergence of this extraordinary Ye family prodigy who had created a miracle that crushed the Holy Body.
How will they deal with the challenge from another ancient freak known for his strength?
Will it be a continuation of the undefeated myth, or an ancient oddball trying to save face?
In stark contrast to the hustle and bustle outside, the Ye Tian Palace was absolutely tranquil.
On the void platform, Ye Tian slowly opened his eyes.
The outside world was filled with a tremendous uproar, and the discussion was undisguised.
He had already sensed the ferocious battle intent that was rushing towards him like a prehistoric beast.
However, there was no surprise or seriousness on his face.
Instead, a faint, slightly bored, disdainful smile appeared on his face.
"Another one... coming to my doorstep?"
He murmured to himself, his voice echoing in the empty palace, carrying a sense of loneliness that comes with being at such a high position.
Since his birth, he has been surrounded by the supreme glory of the Ye family.
With the Chaos Body and the bloodline of the God Emperor, he is destined to be unparalleled among his contemporaries and sweep away all enemies!
Even in his childhood, he displayed extraordinary talent, and none of his peers could withstand a single move from him.
Throughout his life, he has made great strides, defeating all the so-called geniuses and outstanding talents, and has long been accustomed to the loneliness of being invincible.
Now, having fully entered the realm of divinity and achieved the status of a true god, he has pushed this invincible state to its extreme.
He was confident that he had no rivals below the level of a god!
In the previous battle with the first generation of Xuanhuang Saint Body, the opponent seemed powerful, but the pressure he faced was far from enough.
It couldn't satisfy him at all, it wasn't even a warm-up.
What he craves is a true opponent who can put pressure on him, get his blood pumping, and force him to give it his all!
It's that exhilarating feeling of walking on the edge of life and death, and being sublimated in the ultimate battle!
Unfortunately, at least for now, there doesn't seem to be such an opponent among those at the same level.
"Well, since they've come to us of their own accord, let's stretch our muscles a bit."
Ye Tian stood up and took a step forward.
They had already disappeared into the palace.
The next moment, he appeared silently outside the palace gates.
Standing with his hands behind his back on the steps, dressed in white with an ethereal air and his black hair fluttering, he calmly gazed at the violent figure that crashed into the plaza in front of him like a meteor.
"boom!"
When Li Ba landed, the entire plaza paved with divine gold trembled violently, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared where his feet had stepped.
His towering body was like an iron tower, with bulging muscles and bronze skin that radiated a metallic sheen, exuding an explosive sense of power.
His large, coppery eyes burned with fierce fighting spirit as he stared intently at Ye Tian on the steps.
"You're Ye Tian? That kid who claims to be a twenty-year-old True God and defeated the old man Xuanhuang?"
Liba's voice was booming, carrying a wild and direct quality.
The shockwave made the eardrums of some of the weaker spectators around them ache.
Ye Tian glanced at him indifferently, as if examining an object, and spoke calmly.
"It's me. What's up?"
This dismissive attitude enraged Li Ba, who roared in anger.
"I heard you're quite strong, so I came here specifically to have a contest with you! Let's see if your Chaos Body is harder, or my fist!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Tian's disdainful smile deepened: "Compare your physical strength to mine? With your abilities?"
"Insanity!"
Li Ba flew into a rage, and his blood energy soared into the sky like smoke, staining the sky with a bloody hue.
"I, Li Ba, have never cultivated supernatural powers or practiced Taoist magic; I only believe in these two fists! I am invincible among my contemporaries! I have slumbered for countless ages, and today I awaken, ready to test my fists on you!"
"Unrivaled among his contemporaries?"
Ye Tian shook his head slightly, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
"Like a frog in a well, you have no idea how vast the sky is. Your contemporaries were rather weak."
"Ugh! I'm so angry!"
Liba was completely enraged and could no longer restrain himself.
"Kid, take this punch!"
He didn't waste any more words and threw a punch right away!
There are no fancy techniques, no extraordinary phenomena, only the purest and most extreme power!
Wherever the fist passed, the void was easily torn apart like fragile cloth, emitting a piercing explosion!
A savage, domineering, and terrifying fist intent, capable of shattering stars, crashed down on Ye Tian like an ancient divine mountain collapsing!
This punch embodies Li Ba's lifelong pursuit and understanding of power, and is a manifestation of his "Great Way of Power"!
He was confident that, among those of the same skill level, no one would dare to take his punch head-on!
Facing this ferocious punch that could make even a god-king change color, Ye Tian's eyes remained calm.
Even with a hint of... disappointment?
"The strength is acceptable, but... that's all."
He also raised his right hand, clenching his five fingers into a fist.
There was no chaotic energy spreading, no magical runes flashing, just the simplest and most direct punch, which met the attack head-on!
He wanted to completely crush his opponent in the purest way, in the area where they were most confident!
"Boom!!!"
Two fists, one wreathed in crimson energy, like a savage dragon striking.
A piece of jade-white jade, seemingly ordinary, collided with each other without any frills!
In that instant, time seemed to stand still!
Immediately afterwards, a terrifying storm of power, far exceeding everyone's imagination, erupted from the point where the two fists collided!
"Snap!!!"
The Shenjin Square beneath their feet felt as if it had been struck hard by an invisible giant hammer.
Centered on them, a huge crater instantly collapsed, and countless rubble shot into the sky like meteors!
The violent shockwave spread out in a spherical shape, directly blowing away some spectators who were slightly closer, and shouts of surprise rose and fell!
Amidst the light and dust, a muffled groan could be heard!
A powerful figure flew backward like a tattered sack, tracing a pathetic arc in the air.
After smashing through more than a dozen floating immortal mountains and pavilions, it finally managed to stabilize itself. It was none other than Li Ba!
At this moment, his clothes were tattered.
The right arm that clashed with Ye Tian's was twisted in an unnatural way.
His fist was torn open and bleeding profusely, and his entire arm was trembling violently and uncontrollably!
His face flushed red, and his blood was churning.
Their gazes toward Ye Tian were filled with shock, disbelief, and fear!
In contrast, Ye Tian remained standing still, and even the steps beneath his feet did not crack.
He slowly withdrew his fist, leaving not a single red mark on his fair skin.
He lightly shook his hand, as if he had only brushed away a bit of dust, and his indifferent gaze swept over the disheveled Li Ba in the distance before he shook his head.
"Is this the power you've been slumbering for eternity, the power you're so proud of?"
"Vulnerable."
