C126 This Was a War Between Gods!
Chu Yi could see the attack coming, but his body was utterly incapable of responding.
The feeling of helplessness was truly the most despairing of all.
While Chu Yi wasn't in despair, the sensation was undeniably unpleasant.
Bang!
Undoubtedly, Chu Yi's ability to evade the initial attack was due to his keen observation of the adversary's movements from a considerable distance.
But now, faced with an attack at such close quarters...
Even though he saw it coming, his body was no longer able to execute a dodge.
He was sent hurtling through the air, helplessly.
Yet, the First Devil Clan genius was devoid of any emotions or signs of life, resembling a program that had replicated all aspects of its original form.
Thus, his combat experience dictated that he must not hesitate; his only option was to decisively eliminate his opponent!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three more relentless attacks followed, and Chu Yi couldn't muster even the slightest reaction. He was like a punching bag in the sky, utterly dominated by the First Devil Clan genius.
"It's over..."
The spectral figure in the void exhaled softly.
Indeed, the royal members of the Devil Clan lived up to their reputation as the pinnacle of the universe. Even a random genius among them was beyond the reach of an ordinary Genius Level being.
At this point, the spectral figure grew concerned for Chu Yi.
He was convinced that Chu Yi was a top-tier Genius, one who would stand out even in a mid-tier civilization of the Third or Fourth Level.
But now, after such a brutal defeat, one had to wonder if Chu Yi's path ahead would remain smooth.
An invincible spirit is forged through countless battles and victories.
But to fall...
It only takes one battle, one crushing blow...
Chu Yi's plight was heart-wrenching. In the month since his return to this world, he had faced numerous challenges but had always emerged victorious.
Even against the foes he encountered in the Genius Elite Battles, he had never known defeat, nor had he ever suffered such a dire setback.
But now...
Chu Yi truly grasped the horror of the high-level civilization's geniuses.
He had previously surmised that overpowering such an adversary would require a Great General of Platinum Level.
Yet, such thoughts were now fading away.
Although the First Devil Clan genius was merely at the Perfection of Silver Level, the power he wielded seemed to surpass even that of some formidable Diamond Level Great Generals.
Yes, it was that exaggerated, truly shocking.
Silver Level, on par with Diamond!
"Is this the genius of a higher civilization..."
Chu Yi felt somewhat helpless.
Even though his physical condition had been terrifyingly enhanced by the Stellar Combat Body, if he had to endure such battles repeatedly, Chu Yi's collapse was inevitable.
And those battles...
It seemed they wouldn't take more than a few moments.
A bitter smile crept onto his twisted face.
He had assumed the gap was small, but only in the heat of combat did he realize the vastness of the disparity!
Chu Yi was out of options.
Under normal circumstances, he might have ceased to continue, but now...
Whether for the sake of the reward or his unwavering belief in victory, Chu Yi absolutely refused to back down!
And so...
Just when the light figure believed it was all over, it suddenly felt the void tremble.
A mysterious presence emerged, echoing through the fabric of space-time.
It was an illusion of insignificance!
Indeed, the light figure felt incredibly small!
This was utterly inconceivable.
Even though what appeared was neither his true form nor a clone, but merely a sliver of his will, it had inherited the pride and grandeur of his true self!
Even against the most supreme beings, he would brandish his sword.
But now, facing the seemingly insignificant Chu Yi, he experienced the illusion that he was the one who was truly insignificant.
Incredible, absolutely incredible!
Yet, what followed was even more astonishing.
Because he witnessed it!
The heavens were ablaze with starlight, materializing in this realm as countless celestial worlds, instantly saturating the space with boundless starlight.
In that instant, he seemed to be enveloped by a vast, unending cosmos.
"This is..."
"Combat Body Anomaly!"
Indeed, this was the fabled Combat Body Anomaly!
Comparable to the Combat Body Divine Ability, it represented one of the Combat Body's ultimate forces.
Upon the Combat Body's activation, a mighty Combat Body Anomaly would manifest.
Once the Combat Body was fully engaged, those formidable Anomalies would be wholly integrated into the Combat Body.
However, once the Combat Body Anomaly was understood, these phenomena would never fade.
Unless a Combat Body is obliterated, it will persist, granting the formidable Combat Body an incredibly fearsome enhancement. It's widely believed that the Combat Body Anomaly is a force far more terrifying than the Combat Body Divine Ability. While it lacks the peculiar power of the Divine Ability, the Combat Body Anomaly is an enhancement that directly amplifies the power of the Combat Body. Light and shadow neither agree nor disagree with this view. After all, they themselves possess a Combat Body and have also mastered these two supreme powers. From their perspective, these two fearsome enhancements associated with the Combat Body are quite similar. One is part of the resplendent path of righteousness, directly maximizing the might of the Combat Body. The other is rooted in the arcane ways, striking unexpectedly and leaving opponents defenseless. Each has its distinct advantages.
However, one thing is certain: the Combat Body Anomaly is far more elusive than the Combat Body Divine Ability! Among dozens of Combat Bodies, only a genius can grasp the Divine Ability. Yet, out of ten who understand the Divine Ability, at most only one can fathom the Combat Body Anomaly. And now, it has been witnessed! In this desolate world, an invincible genius has emerged! Indeed, the moment the Combat Body Anomaly manifested, Chu Yi's stature in the eyes of light and shadow soared immeasurably. He evolved from a hopeful warrior of a modest civilization into an invincible genius with boundless potential!
"Do you realize that even I spent thousands of years comprehending the Combat Body Divine Ability before I gradually learned how to invoke the Combat Body Anomaly?" Light and shadow, composed of myriad beams of light, now had their ethereal eyes shimmering with even greater brilliance. The Combat Body Anomaly is one of Chu Yi's most potent assets, second only to the power of his primordial spirit. For others, the Divine Ability is nearly unattainable, with only one in dozens of Combat Bodies able to grasp it. And let's not forget, each Combat Body is no ordinary feat; they are all exceptional. Yet, the odds remain dauntingly slim.
For any wielder of a Combat Body, the Combat Body Anomaly was akin to something out of myth.
Yet, for Chu Yi, neither the Combat Body Technique nor the Combat Body Anomaly amounted to much.
Once Chu Yi reached the required level, he could activate it at will.
His possession of primordial spirit power was like having a fearsome cheat code at his fingertips.
While others painstakingly worked through problems for answers, Chu Yi already knew them.
This was the vast chasm between them, a despair-inducing disparity.
The Stellar Combat Body held no secrets from Chu Yi.
Only the legendary Spacetime Combat Body, Chaotic Combat Body, and a few other transcendent Combat Bodies might prompt Chu Yi to truly engage his understanding.
But for Chu Yi, grasping the essence of any other Combat Body, even a top-tier one like Lee Zi's, was effortlessly within reach.
Such is the dread-inspiring might of the primordial spirit.
"I held back during the mass selection battle because those opponents didn't merit such power."
"But facing you now, I can unleash it!"
Confronting the prodigy of the Devil Clan, Chu Yi knew it was time to reveal his ultimate strength, the only way to match the Devil Clan genius in battle.
In an instant, the cosmos trembled, and myriad paths sliced through the void, as if rending time and space, heralding his arrival amidst the brilliance.
Chu Yi stood silently amidst the cosmos, motionless, yet with a mere thought, he seemed capable of traversing galaxies.
The next moment, a fearsome turbulence flickered in Chu Yi's eyes.
He swung his fist.
Suddenly, the galaxy inverted, stars burst asunder, as if billions of forces surged into Chu Yi's punch!
Light and Shadow understood that these phenomena were highly exaggerated.
Exaggerated, not because they were unattainable, but because Chu Yi's current level was too low. Should Chu Yi mature, then all depicted by these phenomena could indeed become reality.
Perhaps then, the might of Chu Yi's punch could truly collapse the very fabric of ancient time and space...
Boom!
Chu Yi's fist finally met the Devil Clan genius's in a cataclysmic collision.
In that moment, Chu Yi's anomaly fractured with innumerable cracks.
A visage twisted with savagery emerged.
One was utterly expressionless.
Amidst a celestial display of starry anomalies, two formidable young warriors unleashed their terrifying might, shattering everything in their wake!
Chu Yi was sent flying backward. Yet, this time, it wasn't just Chu Yi who suffered; the body of the Devil Clan prodigy was also riddled with countless fissures. Had he been flesh and blood, he would surely be drenched in blood by now.
Both Chu Yi and the Devil Clan prodigy found themselves in dire straits. Their confrontation could be described as a clash of equals.
From a great distance, Chu Yi swiftly rose from the void, but the Devil Clan prodigy was slightly quicker. While Chu Yi was impervious to pain, the prodigy, clearly not a living creature, was even less concerned with such trivialities, appearing utterly indifferent.
And then, he reappeared.
The Devil Clan prodigy instantly materialized before Chu Yi once more. With Chu Yi's Stellar Combat Body now activated and the starry anomaly still intact, his power surged to a frightening level!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The vast cosmic river was rocked by dozens upon dozens of colossal impacts. Tremendous forces erupted continuously.
This was no skirmish between Silver Level fighters.
This was a battle of the Gods.
