Chapter 2411
The aura of a half-step Great Sage was completely released. It was like a vortex that extended out, and the pressure became stronger and stronger.
The expressions of the surrounding cultivators changed drastically, and they all retreated backwards.
The boy beside the old man was still unaffected.
He let go of the old man's arm and consciously walked into the distance.
Obviously, it was inconvenient for him to continue staying here in the upcoming battle.
A large portion of this aura was locked onto Zi Chen, making Zi Chen feel great pressure.
However, this pressure was not to the point where he could not move his body. Although a half-step Great Sage was also called a Great Sage, it was indeed much weaker than a true Great Sage.
There was no need to use the power of a Sage Ruler at all. Zi Chen could resist this aura.
A dazzling golden light was released from his body, and then forcibly spread out, causing the aura within a radius of dozens of meters around Zi Chen to no longer be oppressed.
"Interesting!" The old man smiled coldly. He stretched out his palm and slapped toward Zi Chen in front of him.
His palm print was condensed with the power of a Sage Ruler. In this power of a Sage Ruler, there was a faint pressure that only a Great Sage could have.
Although a half-step Great Sage was not as strong as a true Great Sage, he could still mobilize a trace of a Great Sage's power.
Although it was only a trace, it was already stronger than many Sage Rulers.
The energy that came out of his palm condensed into an energy palm print in front of him, and it headed toward Zi Chen.
As the palm print moved forward, it also continued to expand. By the time it reached Zi Chen, the palm print was already able to envelop Zi Chen's body.
Facing this palm, Zi Chen's expression did not change. He clenched his right hand into a fist and punched forward.
This punch emitted a dazzling golden light. It was powerful and surging.
After seeing Zi Chen's punch, the old man laughed sarcastically. This was an attack from a peak Sage Ruler. How could a mere Sage block it?
The surrounding people retreated again, nervously watching the collision.
Boom!
The fist and palm collided, and there was a loud explosion. A visible energy wave spread out in all directions.
The cultivators who had retreated a long distance were caught up by the energy fluctuations and were sent flying.
Some of the buildings in the distance also started to sway, and one or two shops were unable to withstand the shockwaves and collapsed, sending smoke and dust into the air.
On the battlefield, energy raged. Zi Chen's black robe fluttered.
The attack of the Half-step Great Sage had already dissipated. He stood in place without moving and blocked this powerful attack.
Looking at Zi Chen's fluttering black hair, the old man's eyes narrowed slightly. He was very surprised that his opponent had actually managed to block his attack unscathed.
After that, Zi Chen felt his vision blur, and the old man disappeared from where he stood.
In the next moment, the energy around him began to surge wildly as if it was being squeezed by a strong force, becoming chaotic.
The old man appeared in front of him, followed by a fist that glowed brightly.
This was the powerful punch of a Half-step Great Sage. The power it carried was very terrifying. An ear-piercing shriek resounded in the air. The space was constantly distorted as if it would shatter at any time.
In the face of such a blow, Zi Chen's expression changed slightly. Golden light flashed, and he also punched out.
"Peng!"
The two fists collided, and the energy vibrated. However, this time there was no ripple spreading out. All the energy was in a restrained state.
This kind of restraint caused the amount of power he had to bear to be even greater.
Therefore, Zi Chen began to retreat after this punch. Every time he retreated, the ground under his feet would tremble, and a powerful force would be transmitted to the earth through his body.
In this way, he retreated more than ten steps in a row before he could stabilize his body.
Looking at the front again, the Half-step Great Sage also retreated five steps.
After stabilizing his body, the surprise in the Great Sage's eyes turned into amazement. A hint of coldness immediately flashed in his old eyes. His figure flickered and disappeared like a wisp of smoke.
This time, the speed of the opponent was faster than before. He once again arrived in front of Zi Chen.
However, the attack this time was no longer a fist, but a finger. Like a sharp sword out of its sheath, it pointed at Zi Chen's glabella.
"Weng!"
Energy surged around Zi Chen's body. His black robe fluttered wildly. In the face of this attack, he did not choose to use his fist. Instead, he used his palm to block between his eyebrows.
His palm was in front of him, and his palm was behind him, blocking in front of him.
At the same time, the power of a Sage Ruler appeared on his palm, and the pressure of a Sage Ruler spread out in all directions.
Zi Chen's realm was revealed at this moment!
Although the old man only attacked with one finger, it was the strongest of the three attacks. Zi Chen had to take it seriously.
"Pu!"
The finger moved forward like a sharp sword, easily cutting through Zi Chen's Sage Ruler defense. Then, it pointed at Zi Chen's palm.
The skin on his palm was broken little by little. Then, a finger hole appeared in the center of his palm.
Energy surged wildly, and a violent aura spread out. After breaking open his palm, the old man felt that his attack seemed to have encountered the strongest substance in the world, and produced a strong rebound force.
"Peng!"
With a loud sound, the old man's figure retreated. Zi Chen stood in place without moving.
He withdrew his palm that was blocking in front of him, and then clenched it into a fist. Blood seeped out from between his fingers.
He stood in the same spot and did not move at all. He easily blocked the old man's third and strongest attack.
After this attack, the old man seemed to have paid a heavy price, and he looked even older.
He leaned on the cane in his left hand again, and looked at Zi Chen with his turbid eyes. He nodded and said, "Three moves have passed. You win."
The boy with red lips and white teeth jogged over from the crowd, and once again supported the old man.
The old man did not say anything. He slowly turned around, and with his back hunched, he prepared to leave with the boy's support.
Zi Chen looked at the old man's back and said, "Old man, what you lack is not a Sage Weapon, but an opportunity."
The old man's footsteps stopped, and he turned back to look at Zi Chen.
Zi Chen continued, "In your situation, even if you have a Sage Weapon, it won't be good. What you need is an opportunity to become a Great Sage.
If you advance to become a Great Sage, I believe you will still have endless life. "
"An opportunity to become a Great Sage?"
The old man smiled, but his smile was too bitter. "Is there such an opportunity in this Star Path?"
"Of course there isn't on the Star Path, but I know a place where there is." Zi Chen looked at the old man and said.
A light flashed in the old man's turbid eyes, as if he had seen hope. He asked, "Where is that place?"
Zi Chen smiled, but did not say anything.
The light in the old man's eyes disappeared. He looked at Zi Chen and said calmly, "What do I need to do?"
"Old man, come with me to the hall for a chat!" Zi Chen extended his hand and invited him. The palm that had been cut open earlier had completely recovered at this moment.
The old man, who knew that his attack contained a trace of the power of a Great Sage, narrowed his eyes when he saw this scene. The speed of the other party's recovery surprised him again.
"Let's go." The old man did not think too much and followed Zi Chen forward.
As a half-step Great Sage, if he insisted on leaving, who in this world could stop him?
Therefore, he was not worried that Zi Chen was plotting against him!
But soon, the old man realized how ridiculous his idea was.
Perhaps a half-step Great Sage could run amok on the Star Path, but this range definitely did not include the Star of Sin.
Just as Zi Chen walked into the hall, he was surprised to find a middle-aged man sitting there, leisurely drinking tea.
After being stunned for a moment, he asked in surprise, "Senior, why are you here?"
The old man who walked in later also noticed the middle-aged man. His pupils narrowed, and the aura on his body circulated naturally. He stood at the door and stared at the middle-aged man vigilantly.
The middle-aged man put down his teacup and glanced at the old man without any change in expression. Then, he looked at Zi Chen and said, "Yin Zhong told us some things, but there are many inside stories that he doesn't know, so I rushed over."
Then, he looked at Zi Chen with appreciation and said, "You're very good to have such strength in such a short time."
He was referring to the three moves that Zi Chen had blocked with ease. Obviously, he had already arrived at that time.
"What inside story?" Zi Chen asked. He was curious about this.
"It's about that place. Although the quota is unlimited, your quota can't be given out carelessly!" said the middle-aged man. He was naturally the Thunder Sacred Beast from the Zhanwu Continent in human form.
"Why?" Zi Chen was puzzled.
"Because of your identity!" said the Thunder Sacred Beast. "We might be able to make any promises, but you can't.
This is a big matter, and it's a rare opportunity. As for the real reason, you'll naturally know when the time comes. "
"Then, if we don't give out the quota, it'll be hard for us to survive this battle!" Zi Chen said with a troubled expression.
"It's not that we don't want to give, but we should give as little as possible!" said the Thunder Sacred Beast.
When the two of them were talking, they completely ignored the old man standing at the door. The latter and the boy stood there like two pillars, not moving at all.
If one really wanted to see something from the other party's face, it would be that his wrinkled face was currently filled with cold sweat.
The Thunder Sacred Beast continued, "You need to grasp the scale, but you should give as little as possible, especially to those forces that are unfavorable to us."
Zi Chen nodded. He didn't consider the opposing forces in the first place.
However, what he didn't understand was, what did his identity have to do with the Lightning Divine Palace?
Could it be that this was related to luck?
However, the Great Sage Yin Zhong had clearly said that even Great Sages would die in that place, and anyone who wanted to die could be let in.
The Thunder Sacred Beast looked at Zi Chen and smiled. Then, he raised his teacup and drank all the tea in it. When he put down the teacup, his figure had already disappeared from the hall.
Obviously, he had left.
Zi Chen stood there, frowning and pondering.
After a while, the old man's voice rang out, interrupting Zi Chen's thoughts. "That senior just now …?"
"That's right, he's a Great Sage!"
Zi Chen nodded and said, "Don't bother about him. Let's talk about luck first."
