Faced with Deng Yu’s hammer that had doubled in size, Lin Chen was not afraid and did not step back at all.
Then, Lin Chen leaped up, his fist hurtling towards the enormous iron hammer swung by Deng Yu.
On Lin Chen’s fist, a golden flash suddenly shimmered.
Lin Chen’s fist collided with Deng Yu’s giant hammer, and with one punch, he shattered the hammer.
In this battle with Deng Yu, Lin Chen’s strength had improved, much stronger than when he fought Sun Fengyu and Zhao Zhongchuan.
Under the pounding of Deng Yu’s mighty hammer, Lin Chen’s physique had finally reached the level that satisfied him.
With a loud sound, a powerful force of Spiritual Power burst forth from Lin Chen’s body, and his Cultivation immediately broke through to the Second Layer of the Heaven-reaching Realm. Thɪs chapter is updated by novel{f}ire.net
Although it was only the Second Layer of the Heaven-reaching Realm, Lin Chen’s current combat power was completely of a different class compared to before.
"Damn it, this guy can actually breakthrough during battle. I must defeat him before he stabilizes his realm, otherwise once he fully ascends to the Second Layer of the Heaven-reaching Realm, he’ll be even more difficult to deal with," Deng Yu thought to himself as he watched the aura erupting from Lin Chen.
Immediately, he swung his battered hammer, continuing to attack Lin Chen.
"With just a broken hammer, can you still unleash the same great power as before?"
Facing the giant hammer swung by Deng Yu, Lin Chen’s mouth curled into a cold smile, and he swung his fist again, the golden glow reappearing.
This time, the golden glow wrapped around his fist, completely shattering Deng Yu’s hammer, not merely leaving a hole.
Afterward, Lin Chen arrived in front of Zhao Yu and knocked him down with a punch, followed by the same merciless flurry of strikes he had dealt to Zhao Zhongchuan.
This scene immediately elicited jeers from the crowd watching below.
Half an hour later, Deng Yu was thrown from the Duel Platform by Lin Chen like a dead dog.
After this match, the results were clear: Chang Bai, Heartless Monk, and Lin Chen successfully entered the top three.
The three then had three days of rest, with the final deciding match to be held after three days.
Lin Chen returned to his residence and immediately began to train to stabilize his Cultivation.
On the other side, after Lin Chen’s Second Soul Division had taken care of the matters of the Jade Cauldron Kingdom, he left Divine Sun City and headed to the Descension Ruins within the territory of the Jade Cauldron Sect.
Calculating the time, it had been a year since he had left the Descension Ruins.
The Spirit of the Cave Mansion had told Lin Chen that he must return to the Descension Ruins after a year to continue receiving the inheritance.
Having witnessed the power of the Blazing Fire Divine Decree, Lin Chen naturally did not want to miss out on the subsequent inheritance.
Upon reaching the mountains, Lin Chen found nothing unusual in the surroundings.
He then took out the Descension Order.
As soon as Lin Chen took out the Descension Order, a whirlwind Teleportation Gate appeared in the space ahead of him.
After glancing at it a few times, Lin Chen slowly entered it.
Entering the ruins, what appeared before Lin Chen were rows of iron chains.
This place was exactly where everyone had previously crossed over the iron chains to reach the Descending Heaven Hall.
In Lin Chen’s mind, the scenes of that day appeared. Back then, he hadn’t reached the Melding Earth Realm, and even the Soul Power strain on the iron chains was difficult for him.
A year had passed, yet he had grown to where he was today.
Lin Chen leaped up, landing on the iron chains, and now the pressure of the Divine Soul on the iron chains was imperceptible to him.
Just as Lin Chen had flown onto the iron chains, he suddenly noticed a figure ahead exuding powerful Demonic Qi and whose Spiritual Power contained a strong Fire Element.
Lin Chen had not expected that in the space of a year, Ma Yuan had also grown to such a realm, his Cultivation actually reaching the Sixth Layer of the Reverting Void Realm.
It seemed Ma Yuan had acquired other fortuitous opportunities, or perhaps what he obtained from the Descension Ruins was more than just the Blazing Fire Divine Technique.
Looking at Ma Yuan, Lin Chen became somewhat wary; after all, the other’s Cultivation was one Layer stronger than his own.
