Translator: 549690339

Lin Yong, Yang Chao, and others who saw Cheng Long being blasted away with a single punch were also dumbfounded.

The entire scene was as silent as death.

Looking at Cheng Long, who had been sent flying, Cheng Sheng’s recovered belly began to twitch again.

Remembering the punch from Yang Xiaotian back in the Demon Lands, he was still filled with fear.

Only he could understand the pain that Cheng Long was suffering at that moment.

A punch from Yang Xiaotian to the stomach felt like a thousand cuts.

His stomach was unbearably painful, as if it were being peeled away layer by layer.

That extreme pain was something Cheng Sheng would never forget in his lifetime.

Cheng Long, having been smashed to the edge of the arena, had a face twisted with pain just like Cheng Sheng’s had been once.

He clutched his stomach, trying to cry out, but his throat could not make a sound.

Yang Xiaotian watched Cheng Long suffering immense pain while clutching his stomach, and he did not rush to make another move; the punch he had just thrown was not just any ordinary strength but the Asura Force from one of the eleven Supreme Divine Powers left behind by Cao Shun.

Struck by the Asura Force, one would experience extraordinary pain, as if they had taken a trip through the Asura Hell itself.

However, he had controlled the strength well, and that last blow wouldn’t kill Cheng Long.

After a short pause, Cheng Long struggled to stand up, clutching his belly. Looking at Yang Xiaotian, he felt a mix of disbelief, rage, and fear; but unlike Cheng Sheng at the time, he felt more hatred and anger towards Yang Xiaotian than fear.

“Yang Xiaotian, you’re asking for death!” Cheng Long roared hoarsely, his aura exploding all around him.

At that moment, he was no longer hiding his true strength.

The aura of a late-stage-fourth-level Martial King’s peak surged, alarming everyone around.

“A late-stage-fourth-level Martial King’s peak!”

“Cheng Long is actually at the late-stage-fourth-level Martial King’s peak!”

Everyone on the scene was taken aback.

Even members of the royal family like Cheng Sheng and Cheng Wu were greatly surprised.

They had not expected Cheng Long to be so powerful.

“Yes, a late-stage-fourth-level Martial King’s peak!” Cheng Long’s eyes were cold and fierce, and his momentum was still climbing.

Simultaneously, a colossal shadow emerged behind Cheng Long amidst a surge of light.

At the sight of this shadow, the crowd gasped in shock: “A Red Flame Dragon!”

The colossal shadow behind Cheng Long was, in fact, a huge dragon with flames all over its body.

The Red Flame Dragon, a Supreme Martial Spirit, a top-tier level eleven Martial Soul.

Even Lin Yong, Chen Yuan, and others were astounded.

Cheng Long had hidden his power so deeply.

Previously, the outside world had always believed that Cheng Long’s Martial Soul was a top-tier level ten Earth Dragon.

Suddenly, Cheng Long leapt up, clawing at Yang Xiaotian from the sky.

“Yang Xiaotian, I was careless just now, which let you sneak attack successfully. I don’t believe you can withstand my Soul-Splitting Dragon Claw!” Cheng Long’s eyes were fierce.

As he clawed down, his hands actually transformed into dragon claws, incomparably sharp with a cold glint flashing.

As he clawed down, powerful claw forces burst through the air.

Before the force even touched down, the arena floor where Yang Xiaotian stood actually cracked.

Seeing this, everyone’s expressions changed.

However, Yang Xiaotian’s expression remained unchanged; he too threw out his fists.

Cheng Long saw Yang Xiaotian attempting to block his dragon claw with bare fists and sneered. After soul transformation, his dragon claws were comparable to the claws of a True Dragon, able to pierce through top-grade Spirit Armor with a single strike.

Extremely sharp indeed.

Yang Xiaotian foolishly thought he could block his dragon claw with his bare fists.

It was pure suicide!

Thinking of how Yang Xiaotian had just sent him flying with a punch, Cheng Long’s eyes turned sinister; he would take this chance to cripple Yang Xiaotian’s fists.

Boom!

In Cheng Long’s sinister gaze, his incredibly sharp dragon claws collided with Yang Xiaotian’s bare fists.

The moment they collided, Cheng Long felt as if his claws had struck an impenetrably hard barrier of Vajra.

Pain!

This was Cheng Long’s first sensation.

Excruciating pain!

This was Cheng Long’s second sensation.

Pain like drilling into the heart transmitted from the ten fingers of his claws.

As fingers are connected to the heart, the pain twisted Cheng Long’s face once again.

In the gaze of all those present, Cheng Long let out a scream, a wail so piercing that it pained the hearts of those who heard it.

Immediately after, Yang Xiaotian threw another punch into Cheng Long’s abdomen.

The Asura Force, layer by layer, decimated Cheng Long’s internal organs, which had not yet recovered.

It peeled away the layers of Cheng Long’s abdomen.

This time, Cheng Long was in such pain that he couldn’t make a sound, his body sent flying into the air like a bouncing shrimp by Yang Xiaotian’s Asura Force.

After soaring dozens of meters high, Cheng Long crashed down to the ground.

Boom!

The floor of the fighting arena vibrated incessantly from the impact.

Where Cheng Long smashed down, a human-shaped pit appeared.

Pebbles and debris scattered everywhere.

Everyone was shocked.

Just a moment ago, when Cheng Long was blasted away, nearly everyone thought it was because Yang Xiaotian took advantage of Cheng Long’s carelessness and struck a sneaky blow.

But now, in a head-on collision,

Cheng Long was still sent flying by a punch from Yang Xiaotian.

And it was after his claws were shattered, that he was blasted away.

Cheng Sheng, Son of Thunder, Chen Hailin, and others, upon seeing Cheng Long punched in the abdomen by Yang Xiaotian once more, all had their eyelids twitching uncontrollably.

On the main platform, the King of Divine Sea, Cheng Kai, seeing the dreadful state of Cheng Long being blasted, furrowed his brows and was about to speak, when suddenly, he stared in astonishment at Cheng Long, who was smashed onto the ground.

There, lying on the ground, Cheng Long’s body was now surrounded by astonishing flows of energy.

As these astonishing energy flows emerged, Cheng Long slowly stood up from the ground, trembling.

Blood overflowed from the corner of Cheng Long’s mouth; he tried hard to straighten his body, his eyes blood-red as he stared intently at Yang Xiaotian, focusing on him with a violent killing intent. His aura began to rise continuously.

When it reached the pinnacle of the late fourth layer of the Martial King Realm, a brilliant light burst forth from Cheng Long’s body, as if breaking some kind of shackle, transforming him completely.

“This is, the fifth layer of the Martial King!” Lin Yong’s face changed with surprise, “Cheng Long has broken through to the fifth layer of the Martial King!”

The scene was electrifying.

Once one entered the Martial King Realm, breakthroughs at each minor level meant vastly different levels of strength.

Having broken through to the fifth layer of the Martial King, Cheng Long’s power was absolutely beyond comparison with the pinnacle of the late fourth layer he was at just a moment ago.

Seeing Cheng Long’s breakthrough, the Grand Eunuch bowed and smiled at Cheng Kai, “Congratulations to Your Majesty, the Second Prince is exceptionally gifted; this breakthrough has shattered our Divine Sea Country’s record.”

Cheng Long was just over twenty years old; with this breakthrough, he became the youngest expert in the fifth layer of the Martial King Realm in Divine Sea Country.

Cheng Kai also revealed a smile.

Having broken through to the fifth layer of the Martial King Realm, Cheng Long felt the abundant True Yuan within his body, and his figure straightened once more. He looked at Yang Xiaotian, smiling ferociously, “Yang Xiaotian, you didn’t expect this, did you? I managed to break through to the fifth layer of the Martial King Realm.”

As he spoke, flames roared over his body.

When the flames reached their peak, he suddenly thrust a punch out, “Flame Dragon Swallowing the Heavens!”

A gigantic flame dragon was seen roaring as it charged toward Yang Xiaotian with his punch.

Everywhere the Fire Dragon passed, the ground of the fighting arena was burned into stone powder.

Seeing the might of the Fire Dragon, all the spectators’ expressions changed.

But Yang Xiaotian was as unflappable as ever, meeting it with a palm strike.

The instant he struck with his palm, behind him appeared a colossal shadow of a vajra.

Moreover, the vajra took a solid form, as if a true Buddha had descended to the mortal world.

In an instant, the light of the Buddha shone brightly.

The entire audience seemed to be cloaked in a layer of Buddha’s light.

A row of colossal golden Buddha palms, like waves crashing upon the shore, confronted the Fire Dragon.
