Achieving Demon Godhood from Unlocking Talents

The savage wind whipped across his face. Tan Yue’s expression grew even colder as he cast aside all his reservations.

"Kid, you forced my hand."

HUM!

The silver-white Qi Flame around his body suddenly compressed, causing Lu Chao to narrow his eyes slightly.

「The next instant.」

BOOM!!

The ground shook as Tan Yue’s aura exploded once more.

The Qi Flame around him swelled like a blast of air, its concussive force briefly pushing Lu Chao back.

His aura skyrocketed, as if he had leaped to the very peak of the Limit-Breaking Level, more than doubling his combat power.

Their eyes met.

"There are levels of strength even within the Limit-Breaking Level. You think someone like you can oppose me?"

Tan Yue sneered, his eyes glinting with an oppressive light.

「The next instant.」

He vanished from his spot and reappeared behind Lu Chao.

WHOOSH!!

A whip-like punch swept through the air like a long spear. Lu Chao frowned and threw up his left arm to block.

BAM!!

The arm, wreathed in brown Qi Flame, acted like a shield and blocked the strike.

Lu Chao’s frame trembled slightly, and the ground beneath his feet cracked apart.

"You’re not the only one with a Secret Technique!"

"As one of Red Maple’s founding families, the Tan family has plenty of our own explosive Martial Skills!"

As the cold, disdainful voice reached his ears, Lu Chao’s eyes flickered. He quickly realized something was wrong.

HUM!!

A punch tore through the air from his side, aimed straight at his temple.

His opponent was moving incredibly fast, appearing at his side in an instant and unleashing a murderous attack.

THUD!!

The muffled thud of the block was exceptionally heavy. A stone Fist Seal and an explosive Palm Seal collided violently, each erupting in a wisp of silver-white and brown Qi Flame that quickly dissipated.

「The next instant.」

BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!!

Their fists and palms collided, leaving a new blur of afterimages.

Like two humanoid Beast Kings venting their rage, they moved as they fought, the shockwaves of their battle engulfing a row of cars parked on the side of the road.

BAM! BAM! BAM!!

Car windows shattered, sending shards of glass flying in all directions.

The metal chassis were dented and twisted, marred by the imprints of fists and palms.

"You only just broke through to the Superpower Level."

"I’d like to see how long you can last!"

Tan Yue’s eyes were cold as he deliberately taunted and provoked his opponent, trying to get a rise out of him.

He then seized the opening between Lu Chao’s continuous punches—the moment his momentum shifted—to spin and lash out with a flying kick.

WHOOSH!!

The kick, wreathed in silver-white Qi Flame, transformed into a metal War Axe capable of shattering steel.

Lu Chao met it head-on, throwing a punch without any attempt to dodge.

THUD!!

The Qi Flame that burst from the whip-like kick was exceptionally fierce. Lu Chao’s body shuddered, and his knees buckled slightly.

Reinforced by his Rock Martial Skill, he was completely unharmed.

But his ears twitched.

In his peripheral vision, he saw the mocking sneer in his opponent’s eyes.

Without a second thought, Lu Chao stepped back and twisted away.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!!

Several small, silver-white drills shot through the air like bullets, grazing past him.

「The next instant.」

BAM! BAM! BAM!!

A metal lamppost and a withered tree nearby were struck, exploding in a shower of shrapnel and splinters.

The small projectiles were like high-speed, anti-materiel sniper rounds, causing Lu Chao to narrow his eyes.

Tan Yue, having used a feint, frowned slightly. He hadn’t expected Lu Chao to dodge such a lethal attack.

Without hesitation, the coldness in his eyes intensified. He moved again, flicking his fingers repeatedly to launch another volley.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!!

He launched a series of silver drills, each moving with the speed of a bullet, making them incredibly difficult to dodge.

A piercing whistle filled the air, the projectiles visible only as thin silver streaks flashing past.

But to his surprise, just as the drills were about to hit Lu Chao...

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!!

...a volley of glass spheres shot through the air, striking his hidden weapons with unerring precision and detonating all the small silver drills in midair.

Several puffs of smoke and dust erupted, obscuring their vision and making Tan Yue frown once more.

’Hidden weapons?’

As he pondered, the street fell momentarily quiet, the silence feeling unnaturally stark.

But before he could fully process it, a voice rang out.

"It seems this is all you’ve got."

BOOM!!

The smoke and dust scattered as the ground shook.

A figure shot out from within, transforming into a flash of brown light.

Rings of white vapor exploded in the air as the howling wind created a sound like a tsunami.

Tan Yue’s gaze hardened. He instinctively raised an arm and threw out a palm strike to defend himself.

THUD!!

Fist met palm, and the raging gale erupted into a storm that spread in all directions.

Tan Yue’s eyes were ice-cold, and he prepared to press the attack.

But in the next instant...

...a surge of unexpectedly ferocious power erupted from the fist wreathed in brown Qi Flame.

CRACK!

His expression changed. His arm trembled, a hairline fracture seemingly forming in the bone.

He felt his body sliding backward uncontrollably, carving furrows in the ground as he hurtled toward the dead trees lining the street.

WHOOSH!!!

In that same instant, the sound of tearing air whistled once more.

He looked up in shock and fury, and the figure in his vision finally came into focus.

The body wreathed in brown Qi Flame was now emitting great clouds of white steam. Lu Chao’s veins were visibly bulging, and his heart pounded like a war drum.

RUMBLE!!

In that same instant.

A sound like surging blood echoed as waves of power merged into his punch, a terrifying sight to behold.

Lu Chao, having entered his Frenzy State, threw another punch straight at Tan Yue’s head.

The merciless killing intent in his eyes was clearly reflected in Tan Yue’s.

"BACK OFF!!"

He flinched internally and roared, the muscles in his legs tensing as he tried to dig in and regain his footing.

Several more silver drills appeared in his left hand, and he flicked them out, trying to force Lu Chao to alter his attack.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!!

Instantly, the air ripped apart.

A howl of wind scraped past his ear as the silver drills tore through the air at high speed, aiming for his face in a terrifying volley.

And yet, Lu Chao’s eyes remained calm. He didn’t retreat an inch.

BOOM!!

As his Qi Flame erupted, he moved like a coiling dragon, weaving between the silver drills and letting them graze past him.

The sound of explosions echoed behind him as he burst through the fresh cloud of smoke, lunging forward and stomping his left foot down hard.

Their eyes met, locking onto Tan Yue’s expression of utter shock and fury.

Lu Chao’s right arm shot forward like a dragon bursting from the sea. He had drawn it back like a full-moon bow, and now it flew, carrying the momentum of a tidal wave and empowered by a triple Stacked Force and the Thunder Extreme Secret Skill.

"You..."

THUD!!

The fist connected with his head.

It instantly caused the protective, swirling silver-white Qi Flame to flicker erratically.

Tan Yue staggered, his vision blurred, and the whites of his eyes began to show.

Before he could recover, Lu Chao’s fingers became like a claw, grabbing his head and holding him in place.

His left fist, coiled at his waist, was now imbued with a heavy Golden Stone Flame. He unleashed his Thunder Fist Martial Skill, smashing it straight into Tan Yue’s chest.

BAM!!

The punch slammed into his torso, making his body arch backward like a bow and causing his heart to briefly stop.

The nearly solid silver-white Qi Flame burst apart, shattered by the force, and faded into nothing.

"I..."

Tan Yue seemed to regain a sliver of consciousness. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were completely bloodshot. He tried to open his mouth to utter a threat.

But Lu Chao’s eyes were frigid. He seized the opportunity, shoving Tan Yue’s head down and smashing it into a black car parked on the roadside.

BOOM!!!

The black car rocked as the steel frame dented, deformed, and was smashed clean through.

Lu Chao’s face was devoid of emotion. He pulled Tan Yue’s body back and smashed it into another part of the car.

The rear door... the trunk... the taillights...

BOOM! BOOM!! BOOM!!!

Again and again, he held nothing back. Empowered by his Frenzy State and the Thunder Extreme Secret Skill, he was as relentless as a sledgehammer.

Not a single part of the black sedan remained intact. It was riddled with holes, and shattered metal fragments flew in all directions.

The scene left the numerous Superpower Members at the Superpower Building stunned, frozen where they stood.

Li Xiyuan, who had been hurrying over with a frown, gradually slowed to a halt at the building’s entrance. His expression shifted from confusion to stunned disbelief.

THUD!!

Another muffled impact from the center of their vision echoed in everyone’s hearts.

The onlookers swallowed nervously, their eyes fixed on the blood-soaked figure held tightly by the collar in Lu Chao’s grip.

His black woolen overcoat was covered in glass shards. His face was a mass of cuts and bruises, and crimson blood oozed from his black hair, running down his cheeks and neck to soak his clothes before dripping to the ground.

THUMP!

Finally, Lu Chao tossed the barely conscious Tan Yue to the ground at his feet.

His body gave out and he collapsed. He tried to open his mouth, tried to force open his swollen, painful eyelids.

Through his blurry, blood-filled vision...

...he could see Lu Chao standing over him, completely unscathed, his eyes cold and indifferent.

"I didn’t even use half my strength... Turns out you can’t take a punch."

The flat words reached his ears.

PTHOO!!

Tan Yue’s eyes flew open. He coughed up a mouthful of blood and finally lost consciousness.
