C106 That Was the Power of the Rules!!!
"Warrior Body!"
"It's actually a Warrior Body!"
"Chu Yi has a Warrior Body too!"
The Warrior Body signifies the pinnacle of power within the Warrior Body system.
Even among the gatherings of geniuses, a Warrior Body is a rarity.
Only in clashes between the elite, among those at the Five-star limit or even Six-star talents, might one have less than a one percent chance of encountering a Warrior Body.
Yet, unexpectedly, in this battle, which wasn't considered top-tier, two Warrior Bodies emerged!
Donglai Chang'an's Warrior Body was formidable, deserving of the title even among its peers.
And now, Chu Yi's Warrior Body...
"Terrifying, truly terrifying!"
Some onlookers were already whispering, their eyes shimmering with astonishment.
"A Warrior Body made of starlight. What kind of Warrior Body is this? Why have I never heard of it?"
In the vast universe, there are innumerable Warrior Bodies. Even the most learned of human warriors couldn't possibly know them all.
Though there are countless Warrior Bodies, they are generally classified into several broad categories.
Yet, Chu Yi's display clearly didn't fit into any known category!
"It must be a special Warrior Body..."
Someone spoke up, their voice tinged with awe.
Within the Warrior Body system, there are indeed special ones.
Some of these special Warrior Bodies are incredibly fearsome, on par with the top-tier Warrior Bodies, and sometimes even more powerful due to their unique nature.
Others, however, are significantly weaker, barely stronger than the most talented individuals who lack a Warrior Body.
Chu Yi's Warrior Body...
The sheer power of the innumerable stars was indeed formidable, evoking the feeling of facing a dazzling, vast galaxy. But as for its true strength...
No one knew...
...
Donglai Chang'an inhaled deeply.
"You have a Warrior Body as well?"
A terrifying ripple danced in his eyes.
Donglai Chang'an had considered the possibility that Chu Yi might possess a Warrior Body. He believed that any opponent could have one, so he approached each with caution.
But that notion had soon faded.
Chu Yi was brutally suppressed, suffering severe injuries in the process.
At such a moment, even if Chu Yi possessed a battle form, one had to wonder how much strength he could muster with his body in such a battered state.
A battle form merely enhances one's combat power; it doesn't mean that activating it will miraculously restore you to full health.
Thus, even with Chu Yi's battle form now activated, Donglai Chang'an remained unshaken.
Chu Yi remained silent, his gaze fixed intently on Donglai Chang'an.
"It's a pity you activated it too late..."
Donglai Chang'an expressed a hint of regret.
Had Chu Yi activated his battle form sooner, he might have found himself facing the most formidable opponent of his life, perhaps even facing defeat.
After all, Donglai Chang'an hadn't been able to suppress Chu Yi even with his battle body activated. It was only after unleashing the full extent of his battle body's abilities that he gained the upper hand.
If Chu Yi had activated his battle body earlier, the outcome would truly be unknown.
"Too late?"
"I don't believe so!"
Despite his body being severely injured, to the point where even the slightest movement caused excruciating pain, did such things pose a problem for Chu Yi?
Not at all!
He, Chu Yi, was unfazed!
"So, let the battle begin now!"
As his words echoed, Chu Yi's suppressed aura burst forth unrestrained. A terrifying shockwave of energy instantly enveloped the world!
The faces of countless spectators were awash with emotion.
They could sense it!
This aura...
It was overwhelmingly fearsome!
It was as if the infinite expanse of the cosmos had descended upon the world in an instant, the shock of its projection and the humbling sense of insignificance against the vast universe making even the strongest among the humans feel uneasy.
What was Chu Yi's level? And theirs?
Yet, they all felt it.
This could only mean one thing.
Chu Yi's battle body was supremely terrifying!
Yes, supreme and terrifying!
This was no ordinary special battle body; it was far from the worthless kind. It was, without a doubt, the most fearsome special battle body they had ever witnessed!
The human experts around them felt it, and Donglai Chang'an, as the direct challenger, understood it all too well.
Terrifyingly powerful!
That was Donglai Chang'an's sole impression.
Chu Yi appeared to be nothing more than a speck adorned with a bit of starlight, lacking any sign of a world-altering phenomenon behind him. Yet, Donglai Chang'an could sense a terrifying force, one that seemed capable of obliterating everything in its path.
At last, Donglai Chang'an ceased his waiting.
He realized the truth in Chu Yi's words.
It wasn't too late, not at all!
Despite the severe injuries he had inflicted on Chu Yi, the latter's Stellar Combat Body still possessed the strength to fight him to the bitter end, even potentially overpowering him.
There was no time left to wait.
"Heavenly Fault!"
In a daze, the formidable creature behind Donglai Chang'an's eyes shone with a fearsome glow.
It was as though a colossal mountain had descended upon the void, intent on crushing the heavens and the earth beneath its weight.
This was the essence of Donglai Chang'an's combat prowess.
Donglai Chang'an made his move. Although he was unscathed and victory should have been his if he persisted, in that moment, he seemed to embody Chu Yi, risking everything in a single, most powerful strike.
Indeed, Donglai Chang'an was acutely aware that against an entity like Chu Yi, he had no other options.
Chu Yi's forthcoming assault promised to be cataclysmic, with the outcome of their duel to be determined in this imminent clash.
Instead of defending reactively, he chose to throw caution to the wind.
This wasn't the real world, where he had endless safeguards to fall back on.
Here, everyone was on equal footing, with only their individual strengths setting them apart.
Thus, Donglai Chang'an cast aside all distractions, summoning his ultimate, most formidable power to launch a resplendent strike.
Chu Yi felt the immense pressure bearing down on him. As Donglai Chang'an drew near, a perfect curve graced the corner of his mouth.
"You might suppress mountains and rivers, perhaps even seal a domain..."
"But against the boundless expanse of the cosmos, what power do you possess to enact a seal?!"
"To hell with you—"
"Shatter!"
A thunderous roar echoed across the cosmos. In that instant, Chu Yi radiated an unprecedented, brilliant starlight.
He became the sole beacon amidst the universe, seemingly intent on banishing all darkness.
Stellar Combat Body!
One of the premier Combat Bodies in the Immortal Demon World, the Stellar Combat Body, second only to a handful of invincible Combat Bodies, had finally blossomed in its full glory for the first time in this realm!
Crack, crack...
The sound of shattering echoed through heaven and earth.
Countless spectators were shocked to witness Donglai Chang'an's terrifying Combat Body Anomaly, which began to fracture like glass in the void.
At first, there was merely a hairline fracture, but in a blink, the crack had spread across the entire anomaly.
And then, it shattered...
Chu Yi's fist finally collided with Donglai Chang'an's.
Donglai Chang'an's Combat Body wasn't an offensive enhancement but rather a simple control ability.
Though rarer and more valuable, it didn't bolster Donglai Chang'an's own strength as much as those pure combat enhancements.
Otherwise, Donglai Chang'an, who had previously activated his Combat Body, wouldn't have been overpowered by Chu Yi, who was without a Combat Body.
But now...
Chu Yi had unleashed the Stellar Combat Body!
While the Stellar Combat Body wasn't among the most invincible in the Immortal Demon World, not quite matching up to any single one of the Five Elements Origin Combat Bodies, in this world, Chu Yi's Stellar Combat Body had earned its place among the ranks of the invincible!
Under the influence of an invincible Combat Body, no other could stand against it, nor could any peer contend!
So...
"Kill!"
In a flash, the entire void arena trembled, fractures spreading everywhere, mirroring the earlier phenomenon of Donglai Chang'an's divine ability, as if it were on the verge of splintering!
At that moment, the faces of the human powerhouses turned pale.
They understood the implications!
"Rules!"
"This Chu Yi, this Chu Yi!!"
"He has actually mastered the rules!"
"If not for the limitations of his body, he would now be wielding the power of the rules!"
"This can't be!"
It was unthinkable, utterly unthinkable!
The human powerhouses refused to believe their eyes!
Rules, rules, rules!
It was unmistakably the force of the rules!
Only the force of the rules could shatter an arena built within the virtual world!
But no, it couldn't be!
Surely, it must be impossible!
The essence of power is advanced through the force of rules.
Strength, the domain controlled by those beneath the War God, is what Chu Yi refers to as genetic power.
Yet, the force of rules is the very power of the War God!
It is a force that only War Gods can wield!
To ascend from the pinnacle of Diamond to War God status, merely increasing physical might is insufficient. Mastery of the force of rules is the only way!
But, even so...
"Even within the realms of Five-star and Six-star civilizations, only the most exceptional prodigies can grasp the force of rules at the Gold level!"
"What gives Chu Yi the right?!"
How indeed?
These human powerhouses were no fools; they could clearly see that Chu Yi was unlikely to hail from a premier civilization, or he would not be at the Silver Level at present.
Yet, this prodigy emerging from a lesser civilization had not just surpassed—but utterly overturned—the established elite of the higher civilizations!
His accomplishments were enough to plunge any being from a lower civilization into the depths of despair!
