Boom!

A wild, frigid aura roared up into the sky! Within that bone-chilling field, a black hand suddenly appeared, slapping out from the void to collide viciously with the Demon God Puppet’s claw…

In that instant, even the air itself seemed to be silenced, sinking into a deathly stillness.

But in the very next moment, everything was abruptly overturned!

Boom!

A collision so unimaginable, so scalp-numbingly terrifying exploded in that split second! Especially from the intersecting point between the Demon God Puppet and that gigantic black hand—taking that place as the center, within a radius of at least several thousand meters, a horrifying shockwave, a merciless tide, swept out from there, ravaging everything, tearing all apart.

Within that several-hundred-to-nearly-thousand-meter radius, everything within was wiped into ash by the terrifying shockwave!

The entire ground collapsed layer by layer…

”Hiss!” This scene truly made the spectators’ faces change in fright, lips trembling, skin turning greenish! Even those experts of the First Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm felt the same way in that moment—the same sensations, the same reactions.

This was just the first exchange, and it had already reached such an astonishing level. If this turned into a true battle to the death, what then?

Moreover, some people were now staring deeply at Chen Fei, their eyes somewhat shaken, somewhat envious.

Because with this one move, even though Chen Fei had relied on external power, he had still, solidly and unmistakably, displayed an extremely terrifying method.

And judging by his age, he looked no different from the youngest of the younger generation!

Seeing this, Cang Kun and Blue Whale couldn’t help the joy that surfaced on their faces. As long as they could subdue that enemy’s most powerful old fossil, the rest didn’t matter; today, they were already standing in an invincible position.

But the expression on Chen Fei’s face at this moment was not as relaxed as theirs. His face looked, somewhat unexpectedly, rather grave.

”Looks like I was a bit too optimistic before.” He smacked his lips, muttering in mild astonishment. Because he knew that even though the Demon God Puppet’s move just now was powerful, against an expert of the Second Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm, it still seemed a little lacking.

And the fact that the opponent had taken that strike so easily also, in a way, confirmed his guess. This battle was probably not going to be as optimistic as he had hoped.

Bang!

Just as these thoughts flashed through Chen Fei’s mind, a powerful aura suddenly rippled out from within that surging shockwave!

After that, everyone saw a pitch-black, massive palm imprint appear in midair, then slam down overbearingly toward the Demon God Puppet.

Bang!

The black light spheres orbiting around the Demon God Puppet were actually shattered in great numbers by that single palm. Then even the Demon God Puppet’s enormous body was forcibly blasted back dozens of meters by that strike.

The earth rumbled loudly!

Deep grooves were carved into the ground.

”Damn it!” Chen Fei’s face changed in an instant, darkening as he cursed under his breath.

Hiss!

The others present also couldn’t help but suck in a cold breath. They had clearly not expected that even with the Demon God Puppet being so formidable, the Pei Family’s Head Elder was actually even more terrifying!

Could this be the true strength of an expert of the Second Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm!?

At that thought, even Cang Kun, Blue Whale, and the others who had been full of confidence in Chen Fei now couldn’t help but feel a trace of gloom and worry rise in their hearts.

”So this thing of yours only looks impressive on the surface, but in reality, it’s just that.” At this moment, the Pei Family’s Head Elder spoke with a cold laugh, looking at Chen Fei with a hint of contempt and disdain.

After that clash just now, he had more or less figured it out.

This Demon God Puppet was indeed formidable, but it was only somewhat stronger than Pei Pengxiao and those other First-Class peak experts at the First Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm. Compared to someone like him, who stood at the Second Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm, it was still a bit too weak, not worth mentioning.

”Just that? Truly worthy of being an expert of the Second Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm. Right now, you’re probably the only one who can say something like that so righteously, and the worst part is, I don’t even know what to say to refute you…” Hearing this, Chen Fei chuckled, his eyes flickering as he spoke.

Although he had already anticipated this somewhat beforehand, seeing the Demon God Puppet suffer a setback right now, he still couldn’t help but sigh.

This thing really had been damaged far too badly over the years. Otherwise, even with his current cultivation level, there was no way he’d be unable to beat a ’mere’ Second Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm.

On the distant opposite side, when the Pei Family’s Head Elder heard these ’admitting weakness’ words from Chen Fei, by all logic he should have been pleased, but for some reason, he instead felt a faint unease rise in his heart, a sense that something wasn’t quite right.

Because wasn’t Chen Fei’s attitude right now just a little too strange?

”Hmph!”

But right after, he coldly snorted again, clearly too lazy to think any further. His pupils stared indifferently at Chen Fei, then swept over to the massive Demon God Puppet, and he said blandly, ”A puppet is always just a puppet. You actually expect this pile of scrap metal to be mentioned in the same breath as us humans?!”

As he spoke, his hunched body suddenly erupted with a terrifying aura. His eyes turned chilling, the skin on his face twitching, and from within his body surged a horrifying black blood‑qi. He raised that cane, slowly lifting it toward the Demon God Puppet from afar.

Pu chi!

Immediately, strands of something like black blood‑qi arcs of electricity appeared, then more and more, their aura increasingly terrifying. In the end, they condensed into a solid beam that roared forth like a black laser! It blasted madly toward that Demon God Puppet.

”Hmm?” Seeing this, even Chen Fei couldn’t help but narrow his eyes, because he could feel just how terrifying the power contained in that laser‑like black beam really was.

Hu— Right after, he took a deep breath, his expression turning incomparably grave and gloomy. On the Demon God Puppet’s body, blinding black Thunderclap Light Spheres suddenly burst into being, but their number… was still only a bit over a hundred.

Seeing this, Chen Fei ground his teeth hard, then lifted his thumb and bit down viciously on it!

Pu chi… A mouthful of salty fresh blood spurted out, splashing over the Demon God Puppet. Then, on that massive body full of explosive, streamlined beauty, the number of black Thunderclap Light Spheres soared, finally reaching two hundred…

But just at that moment, the incomparably terrifying black blood‑qi beam howled in, not dodging in the slightest, smashing straight into the Demon God Puppet that looked as if it were cast from black gold.

At the same time, the black Thunderclap Light Spheres filling the sky detonated all at once.

Rumble!

In that instant, everyone felt as if the world before their eyes had fallen still!

But immediately after, an even more horrifying shockwave than before burst forth, utterly terrifying.

The black blood‑qi beam and the black Thunderclap Light Spheres, at the very moment of contact, unleashed an indescribable vibration that spread out with a horrifying momentum!

Within nearly a thousand li in all directions, everything on the land was destroyed! Layer after layer of ground began collapsing uncontrollably.

At the same time, that black blood‑qi beam was simply too terrifying! It crushed everything in its path, annihilating all the black spheres ringing the Demon God Puppet, making the air in that region warp, the resulting tremors shocking to the extreme…

After that, the roiling radiance gradually dispersed, the shockwaves slowly died down, and finally, everyone could once more see that colossal black‑gold Demon God Puppet, as if it had suffered a heavy blow, actually forced back nearly a hundred meters!

And in the area where that massive body had stood, the ground bore a terrifying scar, faintly red, with wisps of scorched smoke rising…

”This…” Everyone present, as well as Yan Zhou, the Iron Lion, Cang Kun, Blue Whale and the rest, couldn’t help their hearts violently trembling at this scene. Looking again at that coldly smiling face of the Pei Family’s Head Elder, their hearts were filled with horror and dread.

Because this level of strength was simply too terrifying, too powerful, wasn’t it!?

Clearly, in that exchange just now, although the Demon God Puppet had been on the weaker side, it shouldn’t have been so overwhelmingly one‑sided, so brutally obvious!

But now? They finally saw it clearly.

Even with Chen Fei bringing out this incomparably rare Demon God Puppet, it still seemed, still seemed no match at all!

”Damn it, this old bastard…” In the distance, after the Demon God Puppet finally steadied itself, Chen Fei’s figure flickered and appeared in front of that massive body. On the latter’s chest, there was clearly a shallow yet not insignificant dent, wisps of black smoke curling out, and several cracks had appeared.

Just one strike, and the Demon God Puppet had been beaten into this state. Could it be that the strength of an expert of Second Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm was really this fierce, this terrifying?

”Hu!” Thinking of this, Chen Fei drew a deep breath, turned his head, and stared at the cold, arrogant face of the Pei Family’s Head Elder. Slowly, within those pitch‑black, glass‑like clear eyes of his, a sharp and ruthless gleam surged forth.

Fuck, this old thing might be strong, but Chen Fei wasn’t exactly some herb‑eating pushover either! Some of his real trump cards, he still hadn’t brought out.

”I’ll teach you another incantation…” Just then, within his Sea of Consciousness, Zhen Jingkong suddenly spoke.

As he spoke, a mysterious set of incantations automatically surfaced in Chen Fei’s mind.

”What’s this?” Chen Fei was slightly stunned.

”It’s something regarding the Demon God Puppet’s core. I originally thought we wouldn’t need it, but now it seems… this fellow doesn’t look like some Unranked Second Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm.” Zhen Jingkong said calmly.

”Something regarding the Demon God Puppet’s core?” Chen Fei was stunned again, but his Divine Sense had already swiftly plunged into that mysterious mnemonic.

A moment later, those pitch‑black, glass‑like clear eyes of his suddenly lit up with a flash of joy.

”This thing?” The corners of Chen Fei’s mouth unconsciously curled up, his eyes bursting with a sharp gleam.

”Finish it fast, or just run. This is only something that ’has its form but not its spirit’; at most it can last for the time of one joss stick. You decide for yourself.” Zhen Jingkong spoke again.

”The time of one joss stick? That’s more than enough! I’ve prepared for so long, I should at least show off a bit before making a run for it, right?” Chen Fei grinned, but within that grin was a deep, surging battle intent and presence! Utterly intimidating.
