1117 The Guardian's Might
The Fist Saint Emperor's [Awaken] transformed his body. The upper torso of his robe disappeared, leaving only the top. His skin turned red, with a golden mark running through his torso and arms. His aura was profound and grounded.
Yan Liling frowned. The last time this person showed up, he had to use a formation to raise his strength to 50% Grand Dao Source or 6-fold. That's why she separated him from his group. Now, he had achieved 5-fold strength on his own, showing the latter's talent or ....
'His importance to the Commerce Hub,' she thought. 'He must be a core member, trained to be one of their best muscles.' She sighed internally as she realized she should have paid more attention to the information from the Fate Shadow Guards.
Yan Liling no longer focused on this issue; she only needed to ramify this behavior from now on. Then, she activated her [Awaken], which materialized as a flaming robe around her blue hanfu and her black hair turning into flames. The Fist Saint Emperor's eyes lit up as he saw how much more beautiful she had become, but that would not stop him.
[Point Concentration Fist]
He threw a punch, and a small black dot appeared before his fist; this black dot that resembled a miniature black hole was the embodiment of all his powers condensed into a single point. A terrifying black beam rushed from the black beam toward Yan Liling, releasing a terrible vibration capable of unrivaled subatomic particles from their bonds.
Yan Liling casually waved her hand to manifest a cauldron that swallowed the black beam and instantly condensed a black pill. She held the pill and crushed it, releasing the same technique back to its owner. Her actions were swift and fluent, and Saint Fist was caught off guard. So, he crossed his arm to block.
His defensive measures succeeded, leaving only a few scratches on his red skin. However, Yan Liling was not done.
[Void Pill Bomb]
Her cauldron made good use of the environment's power of nothingness; it condensed the energy around into pills that she exploded toward her opponent. Saint Fist's intuition activated, and he quickly evaded, but one of the explosions was too fast and too close, so he had no choice but to punch it.
His fist was capable of punching anything-including life, death, space-time, and other concepts. However, Saint Fist felt this explosion was corroding his arms, so he acted decisively and blew up one arm; abandoning and regenerating a new one was the best choice in this scenario.
'Her main Dao is Pill Refining, so there is a high chance her physical body is her weakness. So, I need to get closer.' Saint Fist organized a battle plan based on the information he observed in this short confrontation and the information from the Hub. He knew all Emperors from the Myriad Emperor World had terrible battle experiences, so directly approaching his opponent would not work as she would know how to control her weakness.
[Temporal Storm Fist]
A phantom of the River of Time materialized behind him as he punched her. A terrifying storm with the power of time rushed toward Yan Liling. If she were hit, her body would either age terribly or be erased from the very fabric of time. However, her response was a sneer.
"Your resonance with Time Dao is weak compared to the real deal," she declared nonchalantly as her body released a purple flame that burned that temporal tempest. Saint Fist ignored her as he rushed forward and punched a second time. This time, he used an attack that directly attacked the soul-her senses, to be specific.
Yan Liling's eyes became dazed for a brief moment. 'This is my chance.' He suddenly appeared above her head and used one of his most powerful punches. Saint Fist even used his best applications of Dao Will and Will Manifestation. However, before his fist landed, a look of horror appeared on his face as he saw that smirk on his opponent's face.
Boom!
Yan Liling had activated her [Cauldron of Strength] before punching Saint Fist in his stomach with a fist full of Chaos Flame. The muscular man flew over a hundred light-years away before controlling his momentum. His stomach had a hole that showed through his body. Saint Fist grunted before healing this injury, only leaving some black marks on the spot.
Yan Liling squinted her eyes. 'Dao Holy Water?' Her attack was perfectly timed, and with her advanced application of True Will, this should have been a genuine life injury. But Saint Fist was completely fine and even instantly removed her True Will.
'Did he store Dao Holy Water inside his body for this battle? What a waste of resources.'
"No matter how much I try to overestimate your people, you always surpass my estimation," sighed the Saint Fist Emperor. However, Yan Liling responded with a colossal flame palm condensed from Chaos Flame.
