Ascending to Godhood: I Can Foresee All Futures

Chapter 316: Chapter 178: Suppression, Finale

He spat out a mouthful of dark red blood and was sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground.

People nearby immediately rushed forward to check on him, only to find Shanming barely breathing.

He was on the brink of death. His foundation had been grievously wounded, leaving him utterly crippled.

”Insolence!”

Monk Xuanbei of Golden Spring Temple’s expression changed in an instant. Shanming was a genius of their younger generation, second only to Fazang, and was predestined to be a First Seat.

If Chen Sheng crippled him, the loss would be far too great.

He immediately roared in anger, leaped to Shanming’s side, and used one hand infused with True Essence to protect his internal organs. Then, his once-compassionate eyes instantly turned cold and sinister.

”CLANG!”

Suddenly, the ring of a sword followed.

The Spirit Sword held by Sun Yuzhi was instantly unsheathed, landing in the ground before Monk Xuanbei.

The implication was simple.

If he dared to take another step, the sword would strike him.

At the same time, right after Chen Sheng had grievously wounded Shanming, Chen Yanling of Qingfeng Temple attacked. He launched a Primordial Treasure Seal at Chen Sheng, a strike unleashed with all his might.

Chen Sheng snorted coldly, then threw away the Treasure Staff in his hand. Instead of drawing his saber, he countered seal with seal. His right hand seal changed, and a tiger’s roar suddenly erupted.

Six Extremes Profound Seal—West Pole White Tiger Seal.

As a tiger’s roar echoed, a tiger-shaped sigil emerged from the profound seal, slamming viciously into the Primordial Treasure Seal.

BOOM!!!

The two seals collided with an explosive roar.

Under this blow, the robes of both Chen Sheng and Chen Yanling fluttered wildly amidst a terrifying roar. Chen Yanling was instantly blown backward by the impact, while Chen Sheng followed close behind.

He threw a ferocious punch.

However, at this very moment, Lu Xuanzhou’s attack finally arrived. A torrent of azure Sword Qi, like a great river, blasted towards Chen Sheng’s back. Faced with this situation, Chen Sheng snorted coldly.

The Innate Protective Golden Bell rose up again, protecting his entire body. He let the Sword Qi rain down on him, ignoring it completely as he threw a punch at the retreating Chen Yanling.

Chen Yanling’s pupils shrank. He hastily mobilized his Protective Gang Qi and crossed his arms in front of him to block.

BOOM!!!

Chen Sheng’s punch slammed down without mercy. Infused with his Mental Realm, the punch instantly shattered Chen Yanling’s Protective Gang Qi. In that instant, the sound of cracking bones suddenly arose.

Chen Yanling’s arms were smashed and broken. The immense impact sent him flying backward once more.

”I... PTHOO... I surrender!”

As he flew backward, Chen Yanling spat out a mouthful of crimson blood and hastily surrendered.

Chen Sheng glanced at him and chose not to pursue. With a sharp turn, his body became a crimson blur in mid-air, hurtling toward Lu Xuanzhou.

”Demonic scoundrel, die!”

Just then, Monk Fazang also moved in an instant. His Great Vajra Fist transformed into a fist imprint over thirty yards wide, smashing towards Chen Sheng.

DONG!!!

Chen Sheng’s attack on Lu Xuanzhou was abruptly halted. The Great Vajra Fist slammed into the Innate Protective Golden Bell, instantly erupting with the sound of a great bell being struck. Chen Sheng himself was knocked out of the air and smashed down onto the high platform.

BOOM!!!

Chen Sheng landed heavily, sending dust and smoke flying.

A look of horror flashed in Lu Xuanzhou’s eyes. If Monk Fazang hadn’t intervened in time, he would have been in grave danger just now.

His heart was instantly filled with immense relief.

Monk Fazang’s eyes filled with golden light, completely enraged by Chen Sheng. That previous strike, even if it hadn’t killed Shanming, was definitely enough to destroy his foundation.

With such enmity and hatred, how could he possibly remain calm?

After knocking Chen Sheng off the bluestone platform, he followed without the slightest hesitation, giving Chen Sheng no chance to react. Mobilizing his Gang Qi once more, his entire body transformed into a streak of golden light.

He charged abruptly toward the rising dust and smoke.

DONG!!!

Another bell toll rang out. The golden aftershock swept out, clearing away all the dust and smoke.

Chen Sheng stood there solemnly, protected by the Golden Bell around his body. Monk Fazang had landed a punch squarely on the bell. It was as if this moment was frozen in time.

CRACK!

On Chen Sheng’s Protective Golden Bell, cracks began to appear one after another.

Fazang’s eyes narrowed, and joy surged in his heart.

’Chen Sheng’s Protective Golden Bell is broken!’

”Not bad. To think you could break my Protective Gang Qi.”

Chen Sheng was neither rushed nor angry. Instead, a calm smile appeared on his face. Then, his tone shifted:

”But, this is only the beginning!”

The moment the word ’beginning’ left his lips, Chen Sheng took a step forward. He raised his right arm, and the vast Gang Qi in his Dantian erupted. Streams of dark golden energy frantically gathered at the front of his right fist.

He threw a punch.

The Protective Golden Bell instantly disintegrated, and the punch, carrying a terrifying pressure, blasted toward Monk Fazang.

Ha!

Seeing this, the golden light in Monk Fazang’s pupils intensified. At this moment, he also chose not to retreat or evade, but to meet the blow head-on.

BOOM!!!

The two golden Fist Forces slammed into each other, instantly creating a terrifying roar.

Waves of energy erupted one after another, carrying sand and stones as they spread out in all directions.

The clash between Chen Sheng and Monk Fazang seemed to freeze time once more. However, the pause was only for an instant before Monk Fazang’s expression changed drastically.

Then.

CRACK...

Only a faint sound of bone cracking could be heard. At Monk Fazang’s right elbow joint, a shard of bone suddenly protruded. Chen Sheng’s punch had shockingly broken his right arm!

Subsequently, Chen Sheng took another step forward. His Gang Qi gathered and condensed into a North Pole Black Tortoise Seal, which he then blasted at Monk Fazang.

This single strike directly broke through Monk Fazang’s Protective Gang Qi and the Arhat Golden Body Skill he was so proud of.

The Gang Qi was annihilated.

The golden light of his Arhat Golden Body Skill instantly dimmed.

Monk Fazang spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying backward, blasted away by Chen Sheng.
