Ye Qiu had hidden himself well. If the sneak attack succeeded, even if he couldn't kill Ouyang Kuang, he should at least be able to severely injure him.
Unfortunately, Ye Qiu's sneak attack failed. However, it could only be said that the old ginger is spicier. Ouyang Kuang was too cautious; even after searching repeatedly without discovering Ye Qiu's presence, he never let his guard down.
Moreover, just as Ye Qiu was about to make his move and launch his sneak attack, Ouyang Kuang, with his astonishing reaction speed, detected Ye Qiu's presence in an instant and counterattacked, forcing Ye Qiu's figure out into the open!!!
Ouyang Kuang was simply too strong!!!
It wasn't just sheer strength; Ouyang Kuang surpassed Ye Qiu in combat experience, strategy, and psychological warfare.
This resulted in Ye Qiu only managing to injure Ouyang Kuang at the beginning, but afterward, he couldn't do anything more to him.
Of course, if it weren't for his astonishing regenerative ability, Ye Qiu might have been killed by Ouyang Kuang countless times.
"If all you know are these petty tricks, no matter how many times you try, the result will be the same."
Moreover, at this moment, looking at Ye Qiu, Ouyang Kuang let out a cold laugh and said, "And it seems your regenerative ability has finally reached its limit!!!"
Indeed, although Ye Qiu withstood the explosion that reached the power of the Divinity Transformation Earth Realm and was unharmed, the force from Ouyang Kuang's subsequent push finally injured Ye Qiu!!!
You could see Ye Qiu's arms, which he used to shield his body from the explosion's impact, had varying degrees of injuries, with blood and flesh marred, looking quite dismal.
Moreover, unlike the terrifying super-speed regeneration from before, Ye Qiu's arm injuries, though still recovering at a visible rate, were noticeably slower in both recovery and flesh regeneration.
Simply put, what used to heal in one second now took Ye Qiu two or three seconds to recover.
What does this mean?
This means that Ye Qiu's regenerative ability has limits, and with the all-out explosion he had just endured, Ye Qiu paid a significant price to barely hold on.
Furthermore, because Ye Qiu's recovery speed slowed, it gave Ouyang Kuang more opportunities to kill Ye Qiu before his injuries could heal!!!
Upon hearing Ouyang Kuang's words, Ye Qiu's expression immediately tightened, growing heavier.
Because Ouyang Kuang's words precisely hit the sore spot in Ye Qiu's heart!!!
Indeed, although he relied on the Vitality Power of the Pill of Immortality, and his body's super-speed regenerative ability was extraordinary, the problem is that the Immortality Pill is ultimately just a pill, with limited effects; it doesn't truly grant immortality, but merely provides Ye Qiu with enough Vitality Power to speed up recovery.
Vitality Power, in essence, is a form of energy that can be depleted.
Despite Ye Qiu's vast reserve of Vitality Power enabling his severe injuries to heal in an instant, these injuries were held in check by the existence of Vitality Power within Ye Qiu.
Previously, when Ouyang Kuang exploded with a force close to the Divinity Transformation Realm, the power was far beyond Ye Qiu's tolerance limit.
At that moment, Ye Qiu had no choice but to use all his Inner Strength to protect himself and then utilize the vast Vitality Power to counteract it, repeatedly repairing his injuries, allowing him to survive that terrifying bombardment.
As a result, although Ye Qiu survived in the end, he had already consumed a large amount of Vitality Power. Even though the efficacy of the Immortality Pill continuously generated Vitality Power within Ye Qiu, the production of Vitality Power took time.
Moreover, whether it was due to the overwhelming force of the Divinity Transformation Earth Realm, after enduring Ouyang Kuang's attack, the residual power within Ye Qiu's body restricted the generation of his Vitality Power, canceling each other out.
This meant that, apart from a full-force attack that could instantly kill Ye Qiu, Ouyang Kuang only needed to unleash a divine-level destructive power akin to the previous to have the chance to kill Ye Qiu as well.
The situation suddenly turned even more disadvantageous for Ye Qiu.
Unless Ye Qiu could wield the power of the Way, otherwise it would be tough to kill Ouyang Kuang, and there was a significant chance he'd be killed by Ouyang Kuang instead!!!
Gritting his teeth, Ye Qiu felt the weight deep within his heart.
Originally, he thought leveraging the super-speed regeneration ability of the Immortality Pill would allow him to fight Ouyang Kuang evenly. Who would've thought that the drawbacks of the Immortality Pill would reveal themselves so quickly?
Furthermore, Ouyang Kuang's strength and combat experience far exceeded his own, leaving him feeling helpless.
A master who grasped the Path of the Divine Realm, and was also at the peak of the Human Realm nearing the Divinity Transformation Earth Realm, was indeed much stronger than he had anticipated!!!
In contrast, Ouyang Xuan, who had just broken through the Divinity Transformation Realm and had only recently grasped the Path of the Divine Realm, was simply trash!!!
"It seems I hit the mark."
And, making matters worse, upon noticing Ye Qiu's slightly changed expression, Ouyang Kuang immediately let out a cold laugh, looking even more excited with his sinister face, "I thought your super-speed regeneration capability was formidable, so mighty that even my full-force attack couldn't harm you; you almost scared me."
"Turns out, it seems nothing more than an empty show!!!"
With disdain, Ouyang Kuang spread his hands, looking at Ye Qiu with bloodthirsty intent gleaming in his eyes, "In this case, it seems, it can all end now."
As Ouyang Kuang spoke, Ye Qiu felt an ominous premonition rushing from within his heart.
At that moment, Ye Qiu noticed the surrounding sea of fire, as though a catalyst were thrown in, intensely surged into a frenzy!!!
The blazing flames roared into the sky, transforming into one pillar of fire after another, standing between heaven and earth, emitting scorching heat capable of melting steel. The terrifying aura engulfed Ye Qiu, submerging him!!!
"This is..."
Ye Qiu's pupils contracted sharply, feeling as if he was about to suffocate under the terrifying force.
"Do you really think the Path of the Divine Realm I've mastered is just about causing explosions?"
Ouyang Kuang's mocking voice, filled with icy disdain, echoed over.
