Pope Woma and Ling Feng could only watch as Chen Feng spun halfway around and unleashed a punch at the First Divine Envoy of the Snail!
"What in the world?" Both were stunned. They only saw the First Divine Envoy's face contort into a savage mask, his body swaying as if in slow motion, lurching and grasping wildly towards Chen Feng... while Chen Feng struck without mercy, as swift and precise as a world fencing champion thrusting a rapier into a snail.
They exchanged a bewildered look, utterly dumbfounded.
Due to the influence of the Pseudo-Divine Realm, the power of the Eight-Cup technique, though potent, only rippled within a five-meter radius around Chen Feng. To the onlookers outside this bubble, the interaction appeared bizarre.
Crack! Crack!
A series of crisp sounds followed as Chen Feng's full-force punch plunged straight through the First Divine Envoy's chest, exiting from his back!
Even then, Chen Feng dared not relax. His eyes snapped open, and his fist began to rotate within the Divine Envoy's chest like a raging storm, suddenly flashing with a brilliant surge of electricity.
Nikaido Beni-Maru Finishing Move: Lightning Fist!
The pale blue electric light instantly charred the internal organs within the Divine Envoy's chest cavity, releasing a foul, burnt stench.
Sensing that the opponent might still recover using divine power, Chen Feng cycled his Dark Power within his body again. A searing flame immediately shot out from his arm, drilling into the enemy's body like a fiery auger.
Liana Super Move: Spinning Earth Spark!
Boom!
The Spinning Spark erupted with a rotational force inside the enemy's chest. The fist-sized cavity instantly expanded to the size of a basketball! The First Divine Envoy's entire chest was nearly blown to shreds!
(Naturally, Chen Feng was airborne when he attacked; he didn't have his feet on the ground. Otherwise, considering the enemy stood over three meters tall, even with his extended reach, he couldn't connect...)
Having consecutively executed four Super Finishes—Secret 108 Style: Sake Cup, Cosmic Phantom, Lightning Fist, and Spinning Earth Spark—Chen Feng felt a wave of dizziness despite his profound cultivation, yet he hadn't ceased his assault. He raised both hands, and a white light flashed at his wrists!
Forbidden 1211 Style: Child of the Maiden!
Frenzied, vicious claws raked violently in and out of the gash on the First Divine Envoy's chest! Blood spurted, flesh tore, creating a gruesome, bloody mess!
After completing the Eight Maidens, Chen Feng threw his hands back and unleashed a massive wave of fire from before him, blasting the First Divine Envoy into the air once more.
Secret 316 Style: Flower!
Having unleashed these five Super Finishes plus the Jackal Flower, Chen Feng finally let out a breath of relief. By this time, the time-freezing effect of the Eight-Cup technique had waned and vanished completely.
Hiss! Hiss!
Like a balloon slowly deflating, the divine power within the First Divine Envoy surged outward. His body, previously over three meters tall, began to shrink simultaneously, reverting to its original size before collapsing heavily onto the ground.
The moment he hit the floor, a small spatial trinket dropped unnoticed. This trinket was exactly what the First Divine Envoy had used to contain the drop of golden divine power pilfered from Pope Woma.
"It's over," Chen Feng exhaled, wiping the cold sweat from his brow as he looked at the lifeless First Divine Envoy on the ground, then turned to Ling Feng and offered a dismissive shrug.
During the fight, he felt nothing, but now, exhaustion flooded him; his arms ached and felt too heavy to lift.
Since reaching the Dou Zun realm, Chen Feng rarely experienced such depletion, yet now he felt a hollow sensation within, as if all the energy in his body had vanished.
It seemed executing such a powerful chain of super moves, even at full strength, incurred a massive energy drain!
"I'm fine," Chen Feng said, walking up to Ling Feng before sinking to the ground from sheer lack of strength.
"Wait..." Pope Woma suddenly shouted out.
"What is it?" Chen Feng snapped, slightly annoyed by the sudden exclamation.
"Look..." Pope Woma pointed straight ahead. "If the First Divine Envoy is dead, then... why hasn't this Pseudo-Divine Realm shattered?"
Chen Feng and Ling Feng looked toward the surrounding light shield on the Tongtian Platform. Indeed, the barrier remained intact; the Divine Realm showed no signs of collapsing.
"What is going on?" Chen Feng frowned, quickly looking down at the First Divine Envoy, whose form was no longer recognizable as human.
Rumble! The clear sky suddenly churned with dark clouds, and powerful lightning, like dragons, rolled within the masses.
A beam of black light shot vertically down from the very center of the clouds, striking the corpse of the First Divine Envoy. Under the illumination of the beam, the body slowly began to float upwards.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
A powerful gale, carrying the infinite pressure descending from the heavens, pressed straight down.
The crowd gathered below the Tongtian Platform felt their legs turn to jelly, sinking to the ground.
The sheer force descending from the sky felt akin to a meteor several tens of kilometers in diameter plummeting directly overhead!
Chen Feng grit his teeth, narrowing his eyes. His muscles suddenly bulged, and he let out a furious roar as he rose to his feet.
"Trying to play tricks? I’ll humor you!" Chen Feng shouted. He stamped down hard on the ground with his feet, immediately gouging a massive pit into the mirror-smooth surface, and launched himself forward, skimming close to the ground toward the "corpse."
Chen Feng charged ahead, teeth clenched, channeling all his power, and threw a full-force punch!
The fist, trailing a violent gust of wind, smashed toward the corpse of the First Divine Envoy.
But instead of punching through the body with an expected explosion, a hand suddenly shot out from the side and gently grasped the incredibly swift punch mid-air.
It was the hand of the First Divine Envoy!
"Aaaah!" Chen Feng bellowed, whipping his right foot up in a vicious kick toward the enemy. The hand clutching his fist met his ascending leg.
Thwack!
Fist and foot collided with a sharp crack. Under the immense force, Chen Feng was thrown backward, crashing heavily onto the ground not far away. His entire right leg throbbed, numb as if sensation had been completely lost.
"I truly didn't want to come, but now it seems you are quite interesting," a cold voice issued from the mouth of the figure that was the "First Divine Envoy." The voice was utterly devoid of emotion, sounding as if addressing an ant.
Chen Feng struggled to stand, staring up at the "First Divine Envoy" floating in the air.
The figure was now standing upright. The massive bloody wounds inflicted by Chen Feng's five super moves had somehow vanished, leaving no trace of injury. A faint divine power radiated from his body. Chen Feng couldn't gauge his cultivation level, but he had no doubt: the power contained within him, if unleashed, would overwhelm ten of him combined.
"Hand over the lost deity, and I can grant you a complete corpse!" the "First Divine Envoy" stated coldly to Chen Feng, his tone brooking no argument, his gaze utterly indifferent, as if observing an inanimate object.
"Grant me? And grant me a complete corpse? What are you, anyway?" Seeing this display, the arrogance deep within Chen Feng erupted, and he roared back.
"Chen Feng, be careful! That's a clone of a deity!" Ling Feng shouted, her voice laced with worry and panic.
A deity's clone is significantly weaker than the deity itself, but it remains overwhelmingly powerful for a human.
"I am not 'something'; I am a deity," the "First Divine Envoy" replied blandly.
"A deity? Hahaha..." Chen Feng burst into laughter. "How ridiculous. Even a deity's clone dares to claim divinity! Fine, today I will see what power you possess to qualify granting me a whole corpse!"
"Ignorant fool, warring against a deity only leads to self-destruction!" the "First Divine Envoy" stated.
Chen Feng ignored him completely, let out a roar, and with a flick of his wrist, rolled forward along the ground using a Dark Hook technique!
Though this was merely a probe, he poured in his Dark Power!
Purple flames hissed like ghostly apparitions, and the air around the fire seemed to warp under the intense heat.
"Foolish mortal," the "First Divine Envoy" murmured upon seeing the purple flames, shaking his head and sighing, making no move to evade, as if utterly unconcerned.
Bang!
The purple flame struck him directly, disappearing as if swallowed by the sea—it had no discernible effect!
"Hmm?" Chen Feng's expression immediately changed.
Although the Dark Hook utilizing Dark Power wasn't his strongest attack, it still wielded a significant portion of his strength. To have such an attack register zero impact left him profoundly shocked.
"Is that all you have?" the "First Divine Envoy" continued, his voice thick with mockery. "I thought you might possess a bit more strength. It seems I overestimated you."
"Is that so? Then try this move!" Chen Feng took a deep breath, roared, raised his left hand high, and extended his right hand forward!
Dark Power 70: Secret 108 Style: Great Serpent King!
A deep purple flame, resembling a massive fire dragon, let out a roar as it charged toward the "First Divine Envoy." Where the dragon passed, space fractured into black, jagged cracks.
This Great Serpent King attack was nearly Chen Feng's most devastating move.
"Heh heh..." The First Divine Envoy chuckled again, still making no effort to dodge. He opened his mouth, and a stream of black energy spun like a vortex before him.
Whoosh...
The Secret 108 Style: Great Serpent King—fueled by Dark Power 70—was sucked directly into his stomach!
"This... how is that possible!" Chen Feng could hardly believe his eyes.
"If you don't hand over the lost deity, I'll have to take him myself," the "First Divine Envoy" stated coldly. He slowly raised his right hand, and a ball of black light materialized at his fingertip. The light rapidly expanded until it formed an energy sphere the size of a football.
Boom! The sphere burst, and a lightning bolt of black light shot straight toward Chen Feng!
Wherever the light traveled, space fractured, revealing that this attack was several times more potent than Chen Feng's own Dark Particles!
