C127 !
In the realm of light and shadow, the clash between Chu Yi and the Devil Clan's prodigy was nothing short of a divine war among the youth!
Indeed, with the augmentation of the War God Level, Chu Yi's prowess nearly rivaled that of the weakest among the War God Level beings!
And the Devil Clan genius...
Not just anyone in an Eighth Level civilization earns the title of genius!
True geniuses are the young warriors who emerge from relentless bloodshed and struggle!
The Devil Clan, a premier royal lineage within the Eighth Level Origin Civilization, is among the most formidable groups, known for their scarce numbers and individually terrifying strength.
No introduction is necessary.
While this Devil Clan genius may only be considered a genius within his Eighth Level civilization, in human terms, he would be deemed nothing short of a phenomenon!
Moreover, this genius is not even in his true form, but a clone with all his experience intact, stripped of any emotions that could hinder combat.
It's no exaggeration to say that this Devil Clan genius before us is far stronger than the original—significantly so!
Thus, Chu Yi's opponent is practically on par with the extraordinary beings of the Eighth Level civilization!
Amidst the vast cosmos, Chu Yi's Combat Body Anomaly shines brilliantly, with countless dazzling lights bursting forth.
A single starlight might seem insignificant, but when billions converge, their combined force could seemingly shatter the universe itself.
The distant Devil Clan genius, unable to wield his own Combat Body, still exhibits his fearsome power in this space.
Each punch and kick sends shockwaves through heaven and earth, as stars seem to crumble in their wake.
This is the sight of Chu Yi's celestial anomaly being obliterated by the Devil Clan genius.
Yet, Chu Yi's resilience and depth are unexpectedly beyond what light and shadow could have imagined. Even as his Combat Body Anomaly is shattered repeatedly, Chu Yi manages to reforge it time and again.
Such a feat is rare, but not unheard of.
However, for light and shadow, witnessing such a young man is a first.
"Indeed, a prodigy who can discern the Combat Body Anomaly during their youth is certainly no ordinary talent."
Previously, Chu Yi had caught the attention of the light and shadow. He believed that a prodigy emerging from a lower civilization, given the opportunity, would undoubtedly seize it and ascend dramatically.
Such a prodigy could easily become a foundational pillar for humanity. With a stroke of destiny, it's not inconceivable that they might become the very backbone of the human race.
Their innate abilities might fall short compared to those born within Eighth Level civilizations, but once they break free from their shackles, their potential achievements are beyond imagination!
And now...
Chu Yi's display has led the light figure to understand that he is far more than just a monstrous talent from a lower civilization.
The Combat Body alone was astonishing enough. Moreover, this particular Combat Body was exceptionally formidable. The light figure recognized that Chu Yi, on the merit of his Combat Body alone, deserved a place among the Eighth Level civilizations.
Now, he has even managed to forcibly grasp the Combat Body Anomaly in his youth, a feat that would earn him renown even within the Eighth Level Origin Civilizations.
Terrifying, isn't it?
Absolutely!
In this moment, the light figure could affirm with certainty that Chu Yi was frightening, and his future was boundless.
Thus, his perspective had shifted.
"Alas, it's regrettable that I overlooked the corners of the cosmos back then. Otherwise, had I created an incarnation to come here directly, none of this would have happened..."
...
In the void, Chu Yi's body was riddled with several holes.
Yes, not wounds, but actual holes!
Even as a warrior, Chu Yi was struggling to hold on after such an onslaught.
His adversary, the Devil Clan genius, appeared to still be at his zenith, moving as effortlessly as he did at the start.
Even with an ace up his sleeve, Chu Yi couldn't suppress the urge to swear.
This evaluation...
Was utterly ridiculous!
Chu Yi was convinced that if he were facing the true form of the Devil Clan genius, after such a grueling battle, the adversary would not only be drained of strength but also bear the brunt of severe physical trauma, rendering him incapable of unleashing his full power.
But now...
As long as the opponent wasn't killed outright, they seemed to bounce back as if nothing had happened.
Could this even be called a battle?
What a joke!
Chu Yi was at a loss, and in a heartbeat, he had no more time to ponder these thoughts.
Because in the next moment, the Devil Clan prodigy was upon him once again.
Boom!
A punch was thrown. Though it wasn't particularly powerful, it felt as though it could shatter the very fabric of space.
The power of the laws!
During the preliminary selection battle, Chu Yi had unlocked the power of the laws at the Silver stage, leaving the audience in awe.
The Devil Clan genius before him had done the same.
Chu Yi was convinced that if this Devil Clan genius were to compete in the Genius Battle, they would undoubtedly finish a fight within seconds.
Even those so-called Sixth Level and perhaps even Seventh Level geniuses might not withstand the relentless onslaught.
Damn it, damn it all!
Chu Yi was struggling to keep up.
Despite his considerable strength, facing a foe that could instantly recover from any blow short of death left Chu Yi with few options.
Should he reveal more of his power now?
Chu Yi hesitated.
If he knew what the rewards were and they were enticing enough, he wouldn't mind showing some of his true capabilities.
But Chu Yi was clueless about what the prize entailed.
Thus, he was torn.
However, clearly, the Devil Clan genius wasn't inclined to give Chu Yi time to deliberate. Its sole purpose was to annihilate any challenger.
As long as the opponent lived, it would persist relentlessly.
From the onset of the battle, the Devil Clan genius had not ceased its assault for even a moment.
"Damn you, you're pushing me to the edge!"
Chu Yi was determined to fight back with everything he had.
If one strike wasn't enough to finish it, he was ready for a battle to the death!
Suddenly, numerous terrifying presences emerged around Chu Yi.
But these presences weren't radiating outward; they were voraciously consuming him.
Dreadful phantom chains materialized, relentlessly piercing through every part of Chu Yi's body. Sinister runes brimming with malevolence began to surface, seemingly intent on sealing him away completely.
The silhouette suspended in the void paused, clearly taken aback. He had not anticipated Chu Yi's actions!
Indeed, even if this entity was among the most formidable and revered within the human race, there was no way he could comprehend Chu Yi's techniques.
For what Chu Yi wielded was —
Immortal arts!
Yes, the renowned Heavenly Demon Body Separation from the Immortal Demon World!
This technique involved sacrificing everything — strength, life, flesh, and will — for a fleeting surge in power.
The best-case scenario after performing Heavenly Demon Body Separation was severe debilitation. If one was slightly more powerful, it could lead to complete ruin.
Chu Yi would never foolishly resort to such a self-destructive power under normal circumstances.
After all, this was merely a routine battle. Though there was a reward, it paled in comparison to the value of his life.
Of course, Chu Yi had means to alleviate the repercussions of using Heavenly Demon Body Separation, but the cost was exorbitant. He would absolutely refrain from using it unless absolutely necessary.
But now...
This was not the real world!
Chu Yi had sensed it the moment he stepped in!
Here, death was not the end. Despite the pain, the laws of this place would restore Chu Yi to the state he was in before entering.
The Law of Time!
Precisely, it wasn't a law of life that prevailed here, but rather the law of time.
Only with the power of the Law of Time could one resurrect the dead to their prime, without any lingering effects.
Yet, the master or creator of the Stellar Tower seemed to possess a twisted sense of humor.
Normally, upon being resurrected by time reversal, one would retain no memory of their previous demise.
The agony of death would be utterly forgotten.
Somehow, the rules had been altered, allowing these insights to persist.
There were advantages to this, as it ensured that all battle experience gained within the Stellar Tower could be utilized. However, the traumatic memories would also haunt one for a lifetime.
Chu Yi would truly prefer not to tap into such power unless it was his last resort.
Although there were no lasting effects or dangers, the agony experienced during the process was beyond human endurance!
Chu Yi was fearless in the face of death, but who would willingly engage in battle under such excruciating pain?
This time, however, he was truly enraged!
Victory and defeat might be common in warfare, but Chu Yi refused to accept defeat!
Especially now, his determination not to fail was even stronger.
With no other options left, he resolved to shine even more brilliantly!
In a flash, the Heavenly Demon Body Separation Technique was activated. The cosmos shattered, stars exploding into nothingness, and even Chu Yi's body began to fade into oblivion.
The light and shadow trembled!
As one of the human race's most supreme beings, he had witnessed countless extraordinary secret techniques. Yet, from Chu Yi, he beheld a secret technique so unfathomable it defied imagination!
Indeed, the light and shadow were aware of the steep price of such a technique, but the burst of power it unleashed was beyond belief.
Terrifying? That word no longer sufficed to describe it!
The light and shadow could sense that the force Chu Yi unleashed in that instant was on par with those at the War God Level.
Though he was merely at the Elementary War God stage, one must never forget Chu Yi's true caliber!
At last, the moment had come. The celestial bodies transformed into an eternal force, and Chu Yi's supreme majesty erupted in full force.
The horrifying disturbance seemed capable of annihilating everything in its path. All existence was reduced to raw Origin Power, which then fused entirely into Chu Yi's being.
The Heavenly Demon Body Separation was not merely a self-sacrifice!
It also transformed everything within his vicinity into a wellspring of power for himself!
In the Immortal Demon World, there were supreme beings who had performed the Heavenly Demon Body Separation, sacrificing entire realms to harness their Origin Power.
Chu Yi was now in such a state.
His Heavenly Demon Body Separation was the most formidable and comprehensive of all!
"Kill!"
A terrifying brilliance filled Chu Yi's eyes.
In an instant, a multitude of forces coalesced within him, and the might that erupted seemed capable of obliterating heaven and earth!
Indeed, the Devil Clan's prodigy was immensely powerful, and due to the peculiarities of this space-time, he remained at his peak unless directly annihilated.
Yet, this very state also imposed its own limitations.
The greatest constraint was that the prodigy from the Devil Clan simply couldn't unleash his ultimate attack, one that would rival Chu Yi's invincible Heavenly Demon Body Separation technique. Deprived of such a formidable power for retaliation, the outcome was clear. In a mere moment, everything was obliterated...
