Chapter 129: Chapter 129

A youth’s voice suddenly rang out in the void.

In an instant, ripples of boundless Dao-force erupted, dyeing the heavens in scarlet.

From within the Wang family estate, a youth clad in a green robe ascended step by step into the sky. His eyes blazed like flames, and his entire body was entwined with Dao-rhythm.

Behind him floated strands of annihilating power, incomparably fierce.

Two flawless, snow-white celestial cranes drifted around him like guardians.

The newcomer was none other than the Wang family’s young master, Wang Teng!

It was said that at his birth, heavenly phenomena descended; celestial cranes offered praise, and immortal melodies resounded faintly.

He was born carrying a natural Annihilation Dao Pattern, his blood tempered at birth; at five, he transformed Qi; at thirteen, he opened his apertures; at twenty-one, he entered the Nine Apertures.

Now, stepping into the Moon Grasping Realm had only taken him forty years.

For one so young in this realm, it was terrifying.

Moreover, he had once been only half a step away from summoning the Path of Invincibility, and was counted among the most terrifying prodigies of his time.

From an ancient holy land once came the saying: “If Wang Teng does not die, he will one day be an Emperor!”

Afterwards, he was accepted as a disciple of the Supreme Academy!

When Su Nan waged war from the east, retracing the invincible path, among all his enemies, only this Wang Teng was the hardest battle.

The two fought for a full ten days before Su Nan defeated him with a single move.

That alone showed how terrifying Wang Teng’s combat strength was.

And now, it seemed that since that battle, Wang Teng had grasped some new insight, and his aura had grown even stronger!

“Growing braver with every fight! This Wang Teng is truly extraordinary!!”

“No wonder he is a candidate to be the Academy’s representative.”

“Indeed, though Su Nan has fought countless prodigies, only his battle with Wang Teng was the most difficult. Now, life and death are uncertain!”

A confident smile hung on Wang Teng’s face. Within his eyes, flickering with ghostly flames, was reflected the figure of Su Nan.

“Father, leave him to me. In this battle, I shall break his invincible path!”

Wang Teng’s voice brimmed with confidence.

Seeing this, Wang Tianfang could not help but burst into loud laughter.

“Hahahaha!!! Good! My son Wang Teng indeed has the bearing of a future Emperor!!”

“Then go all out!! Let this battle tell the world who is truly invincible!!”

Wang Teng clasped his hands behind his back, stepping to stand before Su Nan.

Shaking his head slightly in regret, he said: “You should not have returned. If you had continued forward, making your invincible heart firmer, purer, it would have taken me much longer to defeat you.”

“But you turned back. Do you know? The day you defeated me, I tasted despair.”

“And from that despair, I comprehended the true meaning of the Dao of Annihilation.”

“In this battle, you are destined to lose!!”

In Wang Teng’s eyes, flames of confidence burned.

It was as if, in his gaze, the figure of Su Nan, who had crushed countless young geniuses across domains like a god or demon, was already defeated.

Yet, in the face of Wang Teng’s words, Su Nan’s expression did not waver in the slightest.

His eyes remained indifferent as they looked upon Wang Teng.

His lips parted to utter a few words: “Too much nonsense. Fight!”

At the instant his voice fell, the previously composed Wang Teng suddenly erupted.

“Annihilation · Heaven and Earth Silent!!”

He swiftly formed seals, manifesting a terrifying phantom. That phantom slowly extended a massive hand, and wherever the palm passed, all things were annihilated.

As though erased outright by some unspeakable force.

Witnessing this dreadful scene, someone among the crowd could not help but cry out in alarm:

“Heavens!! To actually wield Dao-force at the Moon Grasping Realm, this Wang Teng is simply too terrifying!!”

“A monstrous genius to the extreme!! Wang Teng truly deserves to be a candidate for the Academy’s envoy!”

This power of annihilation had already surpassed the domain of mere laws, it touched upon a fragment of the Dao, the force known as Dao-Force.

It was a power only Kings could wield, yet Wang Teng was displaying it here.

How could this not shock the crowd!!

No matter how strong Su Nan was, he was still in the Moon Grasping Realm. Even if his laws were powerful, his manifestations terrifying, his Dao heaven-defying, the power he controlled was still only the level of laws.

Before the Dao, laws were not worth mentioning!

“Perhaps the legend of this invincible one will be buried here in the Tianhuo Domain…” one prodigy sighed with regret.

Just as all believed Su Nan would be helpless before Dao-force.

They saw Su Nan standing tall upon the heavens, his gaze incomparably calm.

Behind him, a colossal manifestation of god and demon soared into the sky.

Divine majesty like a prison, demonic might like the sea!!

The moment these two terrifying forces appeared, they illuminated the entire firmament.

“So this is your method…”

“If this is all, then, you are no longer worthy to fight me.”

“Heh!! Don’t boast so shamelessly!! I, Su Nan, have already comprehended Dao-force.”

“In the Moon Grasping Realm, those who can touch Dao-force are but a handful under heaven!”

“Placed in the Primordial Era, I would have already stepped into the Eight-Ban Domain, able to slay those eight small realms above me! What right have you to face me!!”

Wang Teng sneered coldly, his techniques becoming ever more terrifying.

In a mere instant, his annihilating force seemed to swallow Su Nan whole.

And yet, the scene of Su Nan’s body being erased did not appear!

What unfolded in the field instead left all prodigies aghast!

“What!! Impossible!!”

“What kind of monster is this Su Nan!!”

“Heavens!! Could it be that this generation’s invincible truly can suppress all prodigies under heaven?!”

“How can this be, relying only on his manifestation to suppress Dao-force. Could it be that Su Nan has surpassed the Eight-Ban?!”

Under countless stunned gazes, Su Nan clasped his hands behind his back, standing in the firmament, his eyes indifferent upon Wang Teng.

Facing that terrifying phantom of Dao-force, a trace of boredom arose in his gaze.

That annihilating phantom was at this moment firmly grasped by a gigantic demonic hand, wreathed in black qi.

The surrounding space was being annihilated, Dao-force roared in fury, yet that massive hand was like a heavenly gate standing between the two.

No matter how Dao-force destroyed all else, it could not break free of that terrifying hand.

Su Nan’s voice was low, and then the Demon Lord manifestation threw back its head in a heaven-shaking roar, the gigantic hand tightening with force.

In that instant, the dreadful annihilation Dao-force dispersed completely.

“What!!” Wang Teng’s eyes contracted sharply.

He stared at Su Nan in disbelief. He had once fought him, and knew Su Nan bore two terrifying manifestations: the God-King and the Demon Lord.

He had thought that under Dao-force, even if Su Nan could resist, he would need both manifestations working together.

Never had he expected, that while the God-King phantom still suppressed the heavens unmoving, only the Demon Lord’s single hand was enough to shatter his Dao-force!

“Su Nan! I admit I underestimated you.”

“But today, no matter what, you will die here!!”

Wang Teng struck out like lightning, annihilation Dao-patterns constantly emerging around him.

Behind him, several Heavenly Fires gradually rose.

He was born into the Wang family—naturally bearing a Heavenly Fire.

Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Teng raised his fist, bringing down a terrifying blow!

Annihilation power and Heavenly Fires, two utterly different forces fused together.

The result was a power that shook the heavens.

Space itself quaked under this punch.

Behind Wang Teng, countless shadows of himself appeared. Each figure threw punches, striking in unison!

They were Wang Teng from different times, different years, all punching at this very moment together.

Upon this punch was branded the taste of ages.

“That’s right! It is the treasured technique of the Immortal Palace of Longevity!”

“With this punch, one can summon all the punches of oneself across countless years, uniting them into one, truly terrifying!”

“I had long heard the Palace of Longevity favored Wang Teng greatly, but I never thought they had even passed him the Longevity Fist!!”
