C225 A Crushing Battle!!
"Kill!" Chu Yi's pupils blazed with unbridled savagery, while Sol War God's body was instantly entwined with innumerable black threads.
This was a secret technique.
Crafted from the power of darkness, it formed an impenetrable defense capable of devouring everything in its path!
This was Sol War God's ace in the hole, a move he had never resorted to even when battling other War Gods.
But now, faced with Chu Yi's formidable strike, Sol War God unleashed it without a second thought!
He could sense the indomitable force in Chu Yi's attack, a power that defied all expectations and surpassed any conceivable level of destruction.
If he were to clash directly with Chu Yi, the only conceivable outcome would be catastrophic injury, or worse—
Annihilation!
Boom!
The ultimate showdown erupted!
For a moment, it was as if a nuclear blast had torn through the fabric of the universe.
Dust billowed into the sky, and it seemed as though time and space themselves were fracturing!
Lee Zi's face flickered with concern, and she vanished in the blink of an eye.
Adams, from a distance, was ashen-faced. Draining his last reserves of strength, he managed to teleport away from his initial location.
But the diamond Great General, the embodiment of the ultimate truth, wasn't so fortunate.
He had dealt Lee Zi a severe blow without even a chance to reveal his full capabilities.
Now, the clash between Chu Yi and Sol War God was a strike of unimaginable proportions.
Under the horrific reverberations, his body offered no resistance and was utterly obliterated...
From his first appearance to now, he had only made one move and had many strategies left unplayed, yet he was reduced to dust.
Adams, from afar, coughed up blood profusely.
He realized that another collision between Chu Yi and Sol War God could reduce him to the same fate as the Great General—complete and utter nothingness.
"Is this his true power?"
Adams couldn't believe it. Was this the same young prodigy who was barely rated as an Intermediate Diamond in the reports?
Intermediate Diamond?
What a joke!
Adams burst into bitter laughter, reflecting on a lifetime of wisdom, scheming, and secrecy—achievements no other member of the Truth Union could claim.
Yet, in the end, he was the one who had been the most foolish of all.
Chu Yi's battle with the Sol War God had escalated into a fierce and even brutal affair.
Yet, to Lee Zi, the so-called brutality seemed to afflict only the Sol War God himself!
A being of War God Level, a true and long-established War God, found himself brutally suppressed in direct combat with Chu Yi.
Indeed, from the outset until now, regardless of the tactics and strategies he employed, Sol War God was consistently overpowered.
His so-called strategies were mere jokes in the face of Chu Yi.
Now, in this ultimate showdown, in this direct clash of true strength, Sol War God still couldn't match Chu Yi!
Yes, Sol War God felt it!
He was no match for Chu Yi!
Though he couldn't fathom the reason, Chu Yi was undeniably dominating him!
From their initial encounter to the present moment, Chu Yi had been relentlessly overpowering him.
It was a brutal, exceedingly brutal situation.
But this brutality was experienced by Sol War God alone!
"Chu Yi!"
A touch of madness flickered in Sol War God's eyes.
Had Sol War God's adversary been another War God Level existence, or one of those long-famed entities, perhaps he would have considered pleading for mercy, or even fleeing.
But his opponent was Chu Yi, a youth far younger than himself, a youth whose level of cultivation was significantly inferior to his own!
His solitary shred of dignity prevented Sol War God from resorting to such actions.
Yet, Sol War God was aware that if the battle continued this way, his death was inevitable...
In a daze, Chu Yi noticed beams of light materializing on Sol War God's body.
These beams emerged in an instant, enveloping Sol War God entirely.
Within mere moments, Sol War God's body was clad in a layer of eerie armor!
Equipment!
Chu Yi remembered the equipment Lee Zi had once described to him!
This gear was exclusively for martial artists, distinct from technological armaments, crafted to complement the individual traits of the wearer.
Each item was custom-made, designed to maximize the martial artist's power, enabling them to present themselves in their fullest form.
Indeed, some martial artists' equipment boasted a might that far surpassed technological gear. Clad in armor deemed supremely powerful, they could face the Star Destroyer without fear.
Quality equipment can significantly enhance a person's strength—not just marginally, but by several times!
It's akin to a superior weapon that can double a warrior's lethal force.
And the boost from top-tier defensive gear is even more dramatic.
These items brought to mind the magical artifacts of the Immortal Demon World for Chu Yi.
Yet, they weren't the true artifacts.
They were more like the prototypes of those legendary treasures.
All bore a semblance to the Immortal Demon World.
Chu Yi was well aware of the tremendous boost such powerful artifacts could provide in the Immortal Demon World.
Even though the gear worn by Sol War God lacked the pulsations of rule power, Chu Yi knew that Sol War God's strength was bound to increase with the equipment on.
However...
A smile played on Chu Yi's lips.
It wasn't a smile of fear or hesitation, but one of joy.
"Now, you're somewhat worthy of attention..."
To Chu Yi, Sol War God had previously seemed too insignificant.
Chu Yi had thoroughly countered all his strategies, and even in direct combat, Sol War God had been unable to make Chu Yi budge an inch with all his might.
Such a battle had never given Chu Yi the exhilarating thrill he sought!
In the real world, just like Lee Zi, Chu Yi had never truly unleashed his immense power.
Especially not since reaching his current level of mastery.
Chu Yi longed for battle, yearning to clash with the pinnacle of warriors!
Alas, the only one who could draw out a serious fight from Chu Yi was the War God.
And the War God...
Chu Yi simply couldn't find any War God level opponents worthy of a life-or-death battle!
But now, finally, one had emerged.
Although initially, Sol War God had been a great disappointment to Chu Yi.
Now, with Sol War God fully equipped, his strength had increased so much more than before!
This Sol War God was finally someone Chu Yi could take seriously...
Chu Yi's words struck Sol War God like a hammer to the soul.
Even though it felt like Chu Yi was mocking him, trying to unsettle him, Sol War God couldn't deny the truth in Chu Yi's words.
Without this equipment, if he continued to confront Chu Yi, he would be utterly crushed.
He wouldn't stand the slightest chance.
Though he didn't understand why, and his heart was filled with shock and fear,
Sol War God knew that now was not the time for such thoughts.
Just as he was determined to keep his true identity a secret, ensuring that anyone who discovered it would meet their end, Chu Yi was equally resolved not to let his true strength become known.
It was a fight to the death!
Either he would perish, or Chu Yi would fall!
At that critical moment, the Sol War God cast aside all trivial concerns.
Donning his equipment, the Sol War God's strength had more than doubled.
With no hesitation, he charged at Chu Yi.
The Sol War God was acutely aware that he was at a disadvantage compared to Chu Yi, and it all boiled down to time.
Yes, time was of the essence!
They were on the outskirts, yet their previous clash had been so earth-shattering that the elite warriors of Redmarsh City must have sensed it.
They held back for now, as this was Sol War God's domain to manage.
But once they realized he was no longer in Redmarsh City, those top fighters, including War God Xu and War God Luo, would surely take action.
Their arrival would signal his doom.
Knowing this, Sol War God was desperate to defeat Chu Yi with the limited time he had left.
Madness had taken hold of him.
A long blade, composed of pure light, materialized in his grasp, and he slashed it down at Chu Yi.
The energy unleashed was immense. Chu Yi evaded the lethal strike, but the resulting shockwave tore through everything, leaving a myriad of crimson streaks on his skin.
Sol War God's eyes widened with a bizarre sense of shock.
He hadn't expected the strike to be fatal, but he had hoped to at least wound Chu Yi severely.
Yet now, Chu Yi's skin bore only superficial red lines.
This level of physical defense...
It shook Sol War God to his core.
Such resilience had not only matched—but surpassed—the defense provided by his equipment!
How could this be?
An unbeatable offense paired with such formidable physical defense.
In a moment of disbelief, Chu Yi's punch was already thundering towards him.
Sol War God instinctively raised his blade to block.
But almost immediately, he berated himself for his folly.
He knew Chu Yi wouldn't foolishly challenge the long blade in his hand head-on.
How could mere flesh stand a chance against the incredibly sharp photon saber?
It seemed like Chu Yi was being handed an opportunity!
Yet, the inconceivable occurred, something beyond the Sol War God's imagination!
Chu Yi didn't make any attempt to dodge!
Incredibly, he used his bare fists to forcefully counter the photon saber he wielded!
Before the Sol War God could mentally berate this foolishness, he was overwhelmed by a fearsome power emanating from the saber in his grasp.
Even with his War God Level strength, he struggled to maintain his grip on the hilt!
This was... this was utterly terrifying...
