The Martial Unity

Chapter 2969: Escalating Intensity

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM!!!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM!!!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM!!!

CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK!!!

The Devilʼs sharp eyes watched as Ruiʼs arms crumbled under the sheer weight of his destruction.

WHOOSH

His eyes sharpened even further as he watched them return to how they were in the blink of an eye. He had seen many powerful regenerative techniques, but this was shaping up to be among the most powerful among them. At the very least, he had never seen anybody last this well against his boundless destruction with the sheer power of healing alone.

Had he used a Healing Fruit?

ʼNo…ʼ the Devil narrowed his eyes. ʼEven if he used his prophecy to predict that I would provoke a fight, he wouldnʼt do something as wasteful as eating a fruit for an unimportant battle, which means…ʼ

It meant that this was a new power that the Dawnbringer had gained in his time isolated in the depths of the jet. Many had wondered what the hell the powerful Martial Sage had spent his time in the depths of the Beast Domain with no meaningful training environments that could help them grow stronger.

Regardless, it didnʼt matter.

A chilling whisper escaped him.

”Everything will fall to Destruction.”

The Devil summoned a great flood of materia prima from the incredibly dense and heavy matter within his body, serving as fuel for even greater power.

Every attack prior had been what the Devil considered to be ʼregularʼ destruction.

This time, he was entering the territory of serious power.

Shivers crawled down Ruiʼs spine as the future unfolded in his mind.

A future of Destruction.

His Destruction.

He gritted his teeth as he activated his two most powerful defensive techniques at his disposal the Body of Water and Anti-Spiral, activating the Forge of Creation to combine the two powerful techniques into a single technique to sustain what was to come.

And yet, not even that was enough.

Not even that could protect him from the sheer destructive wrath of the feared as the Devil.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM!!!

The impact that ensued was unlike anything Rui had ever been struck by before. The sheer amount of force and destructive power warped the very fabric of space and time. A tremendous flood of materia prima accelerated the Devilʼs immensely destructive momentum forward.

The impact was concentrated across a few molecules on his fist.

Molecules that clashed into Ruiʼs body with extraordinary momentum and force.

The sheer collision was similar but even greater than that of a collision between particles in a large hadron collider, causing an astronomical spike in temperature and giving birth to a flood of exotic matter.

Anti-matter.

A form of matter with particles with inverted charges that exploded into energy along with matter when they made contact.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!

The impact caused even more impacts.

All concentrated within an enormously small timeframe, giving birth to a tremendous amount of anti-matter and gamma radiation, which the Devil leveraged against Ruiʼs body, converting his own materia into pure energy.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!

A single blow unleashed an unfathomable chain of destruction that ravaged Ruiʼs body, all in the blink of an eye.

Not even the combined power of the Body of Water and the Anti-Spiral technique that had even protected him against the abyssfeeder was enough to defend against the hellish destruction that the Devil unleashed upon him.

The explosion was so intense that even the spectating Martial Sages had to distance themselves from the battle as they stepped away, watching the outcome with a shocked expression.

Ruiʼs arms were erased.

There was no blood, flesh, or gore.

They were simply gone.

His body was ravaged with burns.

His bones were broken.

His skin was torn.

His flesh was torn.

And yet, the Primordial Core sputtered with the final ounce of sustenance it had to offer as a massive amount of pluripotent matter surged as his body began healing all the wounds and damage that he had sustained against the Devilʼs absurdly intense destruction.

His arms began regenerating as a mound of flesh with a nascent bone began developing and growing at truly frightening speeds.

Within seconds, he was exactly how he had been before.

His skin regained a healthily shade of vitality while his body returned to the shape and state it was in prior.

Not a single Martial Sage could remain unmoved by the stunning sight.

”Impossible!” Even the normally calm Sage Zentra lost his composure as he beheld the restored form of the Dawnbringer. ”It took me centuries to achieve such a level of regeneration with a body specialized for physiological manipulation! How did His Highness achieve such absurd regeneration in the span of a single year?!”

Almost none of them had even the faintest idea how the Dawnbringer had achieved this absurd feat.

”Itʼs the primordial seed…” The Reverend of Reckoningʼs eyes widened with a hint of shock as his arrogance melted away. ”He has… integrated it into his body!”

The Namgung Dynasty had a mine of primordial seed, one of the reason it was one of the richest entities in the entirety of the Panama Continent was thanks to this very mine. The Reverend of Reckoning was very familiar with the substance. That wasnʼt all.

”When he emerged from isolation…” the Transcendent Candidate narrowed his eyes. ”His order was muddled. It was the same sensation that the primordial seed substance had. Existing in a state of uncertainties, probabilities, and potential. However, with each attack, that uncertainty became certain. The probabilities unified, and the potential was actualized. This means that heʼs using the primordial seed to restore his body!”

It was a feat that not even the Namgung Dynasty had managed to achieve.

And yet, Rui coolly not achieved it, but used to negate the attacks of the most destructive Martial Sage in the world.

Rui opened his unfathomable pitch-black eyes slowly after his healing and regeneration were complete.

He slowly gazed at his regenerated arms.

A flicker of displeasure flashed on his expression.

”Tsk, Iʼm all out of juice now.”

He didnʼt have limitless primordial seed in the depths of his Primordial Core. The previous attack had forced him to regenerate so much that all his pluripotent exotic matter was temporarily exhausted.

The Devil grinned with excitement. ”Tell me…”

His gaze fixed on Rui with a menacing intensity.

”Are you done holding back now?”

Ruiʼs unfathomable gaze slowly shifted to him.

A faint whisper escaped him.

”Youʼre right…”

RUMBLE!!!!!

The world shook as his Martial Art blazed with all the power that he had ever cultivated.

”It was pure arrogance to think I could last against you while holding back.”

His tone was chillingly perilous.

The unfathomable depths of his pitch-black eyes stirred.

”Let us continue.”

RUMBLE!!!!!!!

The world shook with peril as the battle escalated to greater heights.
