Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 103: The Human Emperor Dao Body, Difficult to Achieve by Usual Standards!
Standing before him was none other than Ning Yang!
To be precise, it was Ning Yang’s Dao Body!
It was not a clone, but a Dao Body possessing full combat strength at the peak of the Earth Realm!
Just a few days ago, Ning Xuan had eradicated the Ning Family of the Capital, and Ning Yang’s Profound Realm Dao Body had appeared. The two fought a battle in the same realm, and in the end, Ning Xuan was the one who laughed last. At the final moment, the Dao Body had revealed that he possessed five such bodies, each at the peak of its respective realm!
Only a few days had passed, and Ning Xuan had already ascended from the peak of the Profound Realm to the peak of the Earth Realm! Such rapid progress was absolutely unheard of!
Ning Yang’s Dao Body stared at Ning Xuan and said with a smile, "To meet again so soon truly is something I didn’t expect."
His eyes held the excitement of a hunter spotting its prey!
Like Ning Xuan, Ning Yang’s Dao Body possessed an indomitable belief! In fact, this Dao Body had indeed achieved invincibility within its realm. Three years prior in the Pride Hunting Ground, it hadn’t been Ning Yang himself who had fought, but this very Dao Body! For a single Dao Body to enter the Pride Hunting Ground and cause the Destiny List to manifest—a feat of shocking brilliance!
Therefore, Ning Xuan did not underestimate him in the slightest, even though he had recently hammered a group of Ning Yang’s clones in the Destiny Hunting Ground. Ning Xuan was keenly aware that there was no comparison between those clones and the Dao Body he was facing now.
Of course, Ning Xuan felt no fear, only a matching excitement!
"I was just about to come looking for you. I didn’t expect you to deliver yourself to my doorstep!" Ning Xuan’s gaze was intense, his blood boiled, and his aura was overwhelming.
"Be careful, Junior Brother, he’s incredibly strong!" even the child holding Xiao Bai couldn’t help but caution Ning Xuan. Just a moment ago, this man had appeared out of nowhere and easily dispatched two King Realm Martial Artists in only two moves. He moved with the casual grace of a stroll in a garden, completely at ease. The child sensed a dangerous aura emanating from him.
"Good! I was hoping you’d be strong!" Ning Xuan grew even more excited.
To be honest, although I can now instantly kill experts who have just entered the King Realm, I have to rely on my Body Technique Skill. Without using my movement technique, my limit is likely combat against Heavenly Realm Martial Artists. Killing opponents far beyond my own realm was thrilling at first, but it grew tasteless over time because, in the end, I relied mostly on speed. I desperately yearn to face a prodigy who is just as heaven-defying as I am—or even stronger!
"How does my speed of one hundred zhang per breath compare to yours?"
Before his words finished echoing, Ning Yang’s Dao Body was already standing before Ning Xuan. He had traversed a distance of one hundred zhang in an instant!
Ning Xuan’s eyes shone with excitement. Finally, a speed that’s worth watching!
"Go ahead and make your move. I have a Nine-Orifice Exquisite Heart to integrate," Ning Yang’s Dao Body spoke, his voice overflowing with unparalleled confidence.
"I’m quite curious," Ning Xuan retorted, not to be outdone, as his gaze swept across his opponent’s dantian. "Is the bloodline in this Dao Body of yours the same as in your true body?"
Ning Yang’s Dao Body wasn’t angered. "If you’re capable," he said, "you’ll find out soon enough."
A flash of light flickered in Ning Xuan’s eyes as he threw a punch.
BANG!
The void shattered as his fist, moving like a dragon, shot directly toward Ning Yang’s face!
"A fine punch!" Ning Yang’s Dao Body shouted as he, too, launched a fist.
BANG!
A terrifying shockwave erupted between the two, like a meteorite smashing into a calm lake. The ripples spread outward, carrying the power to annihilate everything in their path! Within a radius of ten zhang, boulders and large trees were instantly reduced to ash!
"That is..."
"The battle of the two Nings has begun again!"
The powerful Martial Artists who had rushed here after receiving news and chasing the child all stopped at a distance, watching the duel attentively. With Ning Yang’s Dao Body present, these experts didn’t dare make a rash move. The Nine-Orifice Exquisite Heart was indeed a divine object. But with Ning Yang’s Dao Body present, even if they managed to obtain it and escape, they would undoubtedly be found and killed in an extremely short time. Their entire clans would be exterminated!
No one dared to take that gamble. Since that was the case, they decided they might as well watch the great battle between the two Nings.
"Ning Xuan’s cultivation progress is terrifying, isn’t it? In such a short time, he actually went from the peak of the Profound Realm to the peak of the Earth Realm!"
"Indeed! The bottlenecks between major Martial Arts realms are like heavenly chasms, yet for him, they might as well not exist!"
"Do you think he will win again this time?" someone suddenly asked in a hushed voice. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
No one responded. However, it was clear from their expressions that everyone present hoped Ning Xuan would be the final victor. If he won, they could make their move immediately afterward!
On the battlefield, Ning Xuan and Ning Yang’s Dao Body were exchanging blows at incredible speeds. After an exchange of flesh-and-blood blows, they both had a measure of the other’s strength. They stopped probing and began to fight with broad, sweeping moves, unleashing their full power. There were no fancy moves, only simple, direct punches.
Both harbored the same thought: to pulverize the other! A killing fist needs no technique!
However, the power behind their punches grew increasingly terrifying. In this area, shockwaves surged through the air like an endless ocean caught in a hurricane, unleashing a great tsunami! Dust and sand swirled into the sky, forming what looked like roaring dragons and creating a scene of apocalypse.
Ning Xuan’s punches grew faster and faster. He gradually lost himself in the fight, forgetting himself and his enemy, immersed in a peculiar state of enlightenment. In a trance, he entered the world he had witnessed when he copied the stone stele.
A giant palm descended from the sky. The space between heaven and earth filled with a vast and unparalleled Majestic Pressure, suppressing everything! Ning Xuan felt a stifling frustration in his chest, with only one thought in his mind: to shatter these heavens and this earth!
With a loud shout, Ning Xuan threw another punch.
Ning Yang’s Dao Body’s eyes narrowed. For the first time, he felt the urge to retreat!
But it was too late.
BANG!
PUFF!
Ning Xuan’s punch sent Ning Yang’s Dao Body flying backward like a cannonball for several dozen zhang, spraying blood across the sky!
Xiao Bai, who was in the child’s arms, eagerly twitched his nostrils, struggling excitedly to dash out.
"Xiao Bai, be good. He’s not dead yet," the child soothed.
WOOF! WOOF!
The child said again, "I know, I know, it’ll be soon, but he’s still alive! Hey, stop drooling!"
A long string of drool dripped from Xiao Bai’s mouth. Hearing the child, Xiao Bai awkwardly wiped the drool away with a stubby leg, then covered its face with another paw.
Ning Yang’s Dao Body pushed himself up from the ground. His gaze locked onto Ning Xuan, and a smile suddenly bloomed on his gloomy face. "I was worried your rapid advancement had left your foundation unstable, but it seems I was overly concerned. Now, take another one of my punches!"
The moment Ning Yang’s Dao Body finished speaking, his fist had already blasted out from the void in front of Ning Xuan. It flew forward with extreme might, radiating endless arrogance and domineering force!
THUD! THUD! THUD!
The Martial Artists observing from more than ten zhang away couldn’t help but stumble backward in unison!
This is terrifying!
None of those who came were weak. The punch wasn’t even directed at them, yet from such a great distance, they were still forced to retreat by its sheer pressure!
"That punch could easily shatter any Heavenly Realm Martial Artist!" a King Realm expert muttered, his expression incredibly solemn.
The expressions of the others were just as grim. As they turned their eyes back to Ning Xuan, they couldn’t help but worry for him.
As expected of the Human Emperor Dao Body. It can’t be measured by common sense; its power is unimaginable! Can Ning Xuan possibly take such a terrifying punch?!
