Chapter 1035
Yi Tianyun's violent punch was neutralized by the terrifying Yin-Yang Force, which rebounded back at him with even greater strength. The power was unbelievable!
"Yin-Yang Force, no wonder…"
Yi Tianyun shook his hand slightly. His power was not only completely reflected but also came back at him with even greater force. The rebound power alone was enough to overwhelm most opponents.
No wonder Earth Monarch Yuhua's record wasn't impressive; this power could only show its full potential in duels. Imagine an opponent attacking crazily and Earth Monarch Yuhua constantly rebounding their power back—how frustrating.
Opponents are very likely to eventually be killed by their own rebounded power. It's truly suffocating. Yi Tianyun's punch wasn't his strongest, but it was still reflected at him, showing that Earth Monarch Yuhua was indeed very strong!
Some abilities shine brightest in duels, while they may not score well in other competition formats.
In the third round of duels, Earth Monarch Yuhua emerged victorious, making it to the top eight in one go!
Earth Monarch Yuhua didn't stop attacking; he immediately rushed forward again, clasping his palms together. A massive Yin-Yang formation appeared in the air, which he then slammed down forcefully. Two terrifying forces descended upon Yi Tianyun from the sky.
With one move, he unleashed a deadly attack! Even without rebounding the opponent's power, his pure attack was extraordinarily powerful.
The immense Yin-Yang rotating force descended like a sky, sealing off all escape routes. As long as one remained in the arena, there was no escape.
Who would have thought that the seemingly ordinary Earth Monarch Yuhua, when truly fighting, would be like an unstoppable war god?
"Interesting, but that's all." Yi Tianyun instantly transformed into a demonic god. With a twist of his right hand, the Tianchen Divine Spear appeared in his hand, and he thrust it toward the descending Yin-Yang rotation.
"Boom!" His spear shattered the Yin-Yang rotation, the Yin-Yang Force spreading out like a blooming flower, slamming into the surrounding protective shield, slightly deforming it.
As the Yin-Yang Force exploded, Earth Monarch Yuhua had already reached Yi Tianyun, striking fiercely at his chest. Black and white forces swirled in his palm, forming a vortex, aiming to send Yi Tianyun flying.
Yi Tianyun reacted quickly, twisting the Tianchen Divine Spear in his hand and thrusting it towards Earth Monarch Yuhua. He showed no mercy; if this spear hit, it would surely pierce through Earth Monarch Yuhua.
"Yin-Yang Shift!"
Earth Monarch Yuhua shouted, moving towards the thrusting Tianchen Divine Spear without any fear of injury. With a "swish," his hand slid along the spear shaft, the flames attached to it burning along.
Calmly, he twisted his palm, trying to throw the flames off, and lightly pushed forward, using a technique akin to leveraging force with little effort. He deflected Yi Tianyun's thrusting spear to the side, just as he had deflected the previous punch.
This supreme technique wasn't just for bare-handed combat; it also applied to weapon attacks.
The key was that the flames from the spear were thrown off just like the rebounded power under the influence of the Yin-Yang Force. This was unprecedented! People had seen flames extinguished but never seen them easily thrown off like water on one's body.
Yi Tianyun felt his spear's power being instantly drained, his eyes narrowing as his Eye of Insight clearly saw all the energy being absorbed into Earth Monarch Yuhua's palm!
Upon closer inspection, Earth Monarch Yuhua's palm wasn't bare-handed; he wore gloves as thin as cicada wings, making them almost invisible. These gloves were top-tier reincarnation-level weapons, perfectly complementing his Yin-Yang Divine Art, maximizing its power!
Even the most domineering attacks were neutralized, all absorbed into his palms, ready to be rebounded.
The next moment, Yi Tianyun felt his spear's power being absorbed. With Earth Monarch Yuhua's push, his attack was deflected to the side. Not only did he fail to injure Earth Monarch Yuhua, but he didn't even touch his clothes.
"Yin-Yang—Shock!"
Earth Monarch Yuhua pushed forward again, aiming another palm strike at Yi Tianyun's chest, moving as if by teleportation, trying to launch a rapid close-range attack!
Yi Tianyun quickly countered with his left hand, meeting Earth Monarch Yuhua's palm.
"Boom!"
It wasn't Earth Monarch Yuhua who was sent flying, but Yi Tianyun! Earth Monarch Yuhua's palm strike seemed to contain the force of Yi Tianyun's fierce spear thrust, exploding upon contact.
Yi Tianyun was sent flying again, sliding back several dozen meters before he could stop.
"Interesting, no wonder you made it to the top eight." Yi Tianyun's eyes lit up. Even ordinary Heaven Monarchs couldn't withstand his spear thrust.
Now, Earth Monarch Yuhua not only withstood it but also rebounded all the power back. It was truly a unique skill!
Earth Monarch Yuhua's performance made everyone's eyes light up. They hadn't expected the violent Yi Tianyun to be thwarted. Earth Monarch Yuhua rebounded his two consecutive domineering attacks, but they had no effect.
"Is Earth Monarch Yuhua that strong? He didn't seem that strong before."
"Probably because his previous opponents weren't qualified to make him show his true power?"
"Now that Earth Monarch Tianyun is done for, what's the use of brute strength? It's useless. Besides brute strength, what else can he do?"
"Yeah, it's true. They say his strongest points are brute strength and speed, but against Earth Monarch Yuhua, both are useless as they get neutralized. It's laughable."
"Indeed, we thought he'd make it to the top three, but now it seems he won't even make it to the top four. But it doesn't matter, and he's already guaranteed a place in the Five Great Divine Realms."
"So what? At least it humbled him a bit, showing him there's always someone stronger."
They mocked him, feeling delighted to see Yi Tianyun at a disadvantage. Even though Yi Tianyun's performance was better than theirs, seeing someone suppressing him was satisfying. At least someone could hold Yi Tianyun back, preventing him from winning all the way.
"Is this really where it ends for him in the top eight…" Nian Ciyu felt a pang of regret; she had hoped Yi Tianyun would make it to the top three or even take first place!
"Learn to be content. Even being in the top eight is our best result, isn't it?" The Tianyu Domain Lord smiled slightly. Even if Yi Tianyun lost, they were already very satisfied.
Yi Tianyun had brought them so much honor, and it was more than enough…
