As soon as the Jade Emperor Mirror appeared, rays of colorful light emerged from the mirror and enveloped Yan Gu’s body.
These colorful rays, though seemingly fragile, contained incredibly profound power.
They were likely difficult even for ordinary Martial Artists at the life and death realm to break.
"Chu Fengmian, I didn’t expect your strength to have reached this level. But no matter how strong you are, it’s meaningless today!" Yan Gu laughed as he spoke.
"The light from the Jade Emperor Mirror can only be broken by high-tier power in the life and death realm. No matter how strong your power is today, it’s meaningless!" With the Jade Emperor Mirror as his ultimate card, Yan Gu was brimming with confidence, his arrogance soaring as he looked down coldly at Chu Fengmian.
"If you kneel now, open your heart, and let me plant a restriction to make you my slave forever, I might still spare your life today."
"Otherwise, today, your only fate is death!"
"You, unable to even take a punch with a tenth of my strength, dare to spout such nonsense?"
Hearing Yan Gu’s words, a smile suddenly appeared on Chu Fengmian’s face.
"Boasting with just a minor Spiritual Artifact? Even with that artifact, you’re no more than an ant in front of me."
"Damn it! Chu Fengmian, it seems you no longer wish to live. Since you don’t want to live, I’ll grant your wish now!" Anger flared across Yan Gu’s face.
Having just lost the clash of power to Chu Fengmian, it was an endless humiliation for Yan Gu.
He was after all a Disciple of the Elders, naturally superior to those Inner Sect Disciples, let alone Chu Fengmian, a mere outer sect Disciple.
For Yan Gu, being defeated by Chu Fengmian was an enormous disgrace. If he didn’t decisively defeat Chu Fengmian today, he would have no standing left at Beimang Academy.
A Disciple of the Elders defeated by a new outer sect Disciple was simply a joke.
"Chu Fengmian, you’ve lost your last chance to survive. Now, all you can await is annihilation!" Yan Gu’s gaze was ice-cold, filled with murderous intent.
The Jade Emperor Mirror quickly activated, transforming into a beam of light.
Under this light, everything seemed destined for direct destruction, a genuine beam of obliteration.
Roaring furiously, he lunged at Chu Fengmian, launching the attack.
Facing the bombardment of light from the Jade Emperor Mirror, Chu Fengmian’s expression remained utterly calm, as if unchanged.
But Chu Fengmian’s body shifted slightly, and on his skin, scales etched with ancient characters formed.
These numerous characters linked together to form an immense Array within Chu Fengmian’s body.
Endlessly, power fortified Chu Fengmian’s body on this Array.
Ancient Battle Dragon Body!
Now that Chu Fengmian had condensed the Ancient Battle Dragon Body, it nearly signified that the ancient dragon essence blood within his body was constantly transforming into array points, forming an Array, enhancing Chu Fengmian’s power.
Chu Fengmian’s skin had turned into a bronze hue, his aura bursting forth violently.
Facing the destructive beam, he did not dodge or evade but instead suddenly propelled himself forward, charging directly.
"What? Is Chu Fengmian really planning to withstand the attack from the Jade Emperor Mirror with his physical body?"
"The Jade Emperor Mirror, although primarily a defensive Spiritual Artifact, has an attack power that far surpasses many earth-level Spiritual Artifacts. This kid plans to withstand it with his physical body alone, he’s practically seeking death!"
To everyone around, the radiance of the Jade Emperor Mirror was something Chu Fengmian surely had to dodge.
The brilliance of the Jade Emperor Mirror, in terms of power, was no less than the full force of many earth-level martial artist techniques.
Even for powerful martial artists, withstanding it head-on was not easy; Life-and-Death realm martial artists who approached would choose to dodge rather than to withstand it.
Yet now, Chu Fengmian unexpectedly did not dodge or evade, but instead met it head-on.
It seemed he intended to withstand the radiance of the Jade Emperor Mirror with his physical body, behavior that was simply madness to the extreme.
It was not madness, but plainly a suicidal act.
Everyone looked at Chu Fengmian, feeling that in the next moment, he would be utterly destroyed by the radiance.
Even Yan Gu had a flicker in his eyes, showing a hint of mockery as if he was laughing at Chu Fengmian for being clueless about his impending death.
Yet in the next moment, what happened completely surpassed anyone’s imagination.
The radiance of the Jade Emperor Mirror, when it struck Chu Fengmian’s body, unexpectedly produced a sound like the swelling of a weapon.
The radiance of the Jade Emperor Mirror poured entirely onto Chu Fengmian’s body, and astoundingly, he was completely unharmed.
Even the particles that congealed on Chu Fengmian’s body were not even slightly damaged, and there seemed to be a slight change.
It was like the impact on Chu Fengmian’s body couldn’t cause any effect at all.
With his physical body, he had withstood the radiance of the Jade Emperor Mirror and remained entirely unharmed.
"Is this, is this still a human body?"
"Even delirious beasts known for their physical prowess wouldn’t dare to commit such a crazed act!"
The spectators all but dropped their jaws, unable to believe what was occurring before their eyes.
"Impossible! This is impossible!"
Yan Gu stood frozen in place, his face shaking with utmost shock.
The radiance of the Jade Emperor Mirror had been withstood by Chu Fengmian with his physical body alone, without the aid of any techniques; merely with his body, he remained completely unharmed.
Such a physical body was frankly no longer human.
"With these petty tricks, you dare to be presumptuous in front of Chu?" Chu Fengmian looked at Yan Gu and displayed a contemptuous smile on his face.
His physical body now reached the pinnacle; solely with the strength of his body, he approached the high levels of the Life-and-Death realm.
To deal with this Yan Gu, he didn’t need to use Spiritual Power; merely with his body alone, he could easily annihilate him.
Chu Fengmian looked at Yan Gu, and suddenly swung his giant hand, transforming it into the enormous War Dragon’s Claw, descending from the sky and landing directly on the top of Yan Gu’s head.
The immense pressure weighted upon Yan Gu’s body, forcing him to hastily boost the power of the Jade Emperor Mirror and gather more colorful rays before him to finally catch his breath.
"Chu Fengmian, how strong your physical body may be, I might not be able to defeat you, but I will definitely not lose; I really want to see how you can break through this Jade Emperor Mirror!"
Yan Gu stood within the colorful rays, looking at Chu Fengmian, and coldly spoke.
"Want me to kneel? Give you ten thousand more years, and you still won’t have the capability!"
