Chapter 270 The End is Also the Beginning

As time passed, their wounds spread like a spider web, and their injuries worsened day by day.

Finally, Kuang Zheng seized a fleeting opening and launched a powerful kick, striking Chi Shen's abdomen with lightning speed.

Chi Shen let out a miserable cry: "Ah—! Pfft—!" The kick was so powerful that it even caused Chi Shen's already severely injured intestines to protrude.

Chi Shen was in excruciating pain, and his body flew straight backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground.

Almost at the same time, Kuang Zhengye's body was also sent flying backward.

It turned out that the moment he delivered that fatal kick was a deliberate opening created by Chi Shen; he had already anticipated the opportunity.

He hadn't expected his opponent's reaction to be so unexpected that, despite his good intentions, he was attacked almost simultaneously.

Just as Kuang Zheng kicked out, Chi Shen swung his palm with all his might, slamming it solidly into Kuang Zheng's chest.

"Ugh—! Pfft—!"

Kuang Zheng groaned, and a mouthful of scarlet blood gushed from his mouth, like a blood flower blooming in mid-air.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the arena was extremely tense...

"Bang~!"

With a dull and loud thud, Kuang was like a meteor struck by a cannonball, crashing heavily to the ground at an extremely high speed.

In an instant, dust billowed up, as if a small sandstorm had suddenly descended.

Where it landed, a deep crater appeared, and the surrounding soil and rocks were scattered in all directions due to the impact.

Kuang Zheng felt as if his internal organs had been shattered into countless pieces, and excruciating pain swept over him like a tidal wave, instantly overwhelming all his consciousness.

Each breath felt like a million steel needles churning inside his chest, nearly causing him to faint.

However, that terrifyingly powerful force did not stop there; it continued to rage wildly within Kuang Zheng's body, wantonly destroying his fragile physical tissues.

Kuang Zheng spat out several mouthfuls of bright red blood one after another. The blood drew shocking arcs in the air before splattering onto the dusty ground, forming tragic and beautiful blood flowers.

He struggled to turn his eyes and looked at Chi Shen, who was also lying not far away, convulsing in pain on the ground.

Despite both of them suffering severe injuries, Kuang Zheng knew in his heart that this life-or-death struggle was far from over.

Despite the excruciating pain coursing through his body, Kuang Zheng gritted his teeth and used all his strength to try to get up from the ground.

However, no matter how hard he tried, his battered body remained unresponsive.

Attempt after attempt, failure after failure—his injuries were simply too severe; he had reached his limit...

Extreme fatigue crept into Kuang Zheng's heart like a demon and quickly spread to every part of his body.

This fatigue felt like a thousand pounds, suffocating him, and all he wanted to do was close his eyes and fall into a deep sleep.

However, his last shred of reason told him: he absolutely could not give up!

Once he falls into a coma, only death awaits him.

He knew that the enemy would never let go of such a golden opportunity, even if they were in the same sorry state as him.

Especially when he realized that this was the Xuanyuan Formation—Chi Shen's home ground, Kuang Zheng's sense of crisis became even stronger.

Within this array filled with mysterious power and unknown dangers, any negligence could lead to utter destruction.

So he kept encouraging himself, repeating to himself over and over again that he must persevere.

Even so, those heavy eyelids still slowly closed uncontrollably...

Just as his eyes were about to close completely, Chi Shen suddenly burst into an extremely arrogant laugh: "Hahahaha... So what if your cultivation is superb and all-powerful?"

Once you're within my Xuanyuan Grand Formation, there's no escape, you're doomed! Heh heh...

"Go ahead and relax. As for your beautiful, charming girlfriend, well... I'll take good care of her, hehehehe~!"

Chi Shen's sinister words were like an indestructible sword, piercing Kuang Zheng's furious heart.

When Kuang Zheng imagined the series of terrible consequences that might result from his death, especially the hardships and suffering that his beloved Ying Yue would have to endure, his eyes instantly turned bloodshot, as if they were about to bleed.

The body, which had been pressed against the ground and lifeless, suddenly rekindled its will to live and began a tenacious and intermittent struggle.

Once, twice... every effort was accompanied by excruciating pain, but Kuang Zheng always gritted his teeth and refused to give up any hope of survival.

Finally, under Chi Shen's incredulous and horrified gaze, Kuang, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, miraculously straightened up slowly.

Looking at his opponent, who was staggering and swaying but still relentlessly closing in on him, Chi Shen felt a surge of fear, like a flood bursting its banks, instantly overwhelming all his reason and composure.

"You, you mustn't come any closer! Please don't come any closer!!"

Chi Shen retreated in terror, screaming hoarsely at the top of his lungs.

"Let's talk this out! There's no need for us to fight to the death! We can make peace, we can make peace!! Please, please let me go!!"

At this moment, Chi Shen was no longer the arrogant and domineering man he had been before; he was terrified.

"I'll let you leave right away, really, I'll have someone open the formation and send you out immediately!"

......

No matter what he said, Kuang Zheng's steps, though trembling, were incredibly firm.

When the other person finally stood beside him, Chi Shen was finally afraid.

He cried and said, "Please, please let me go! I promise I will never cause you any more trouble."

"I have so many treasures, they're all for you, they're all for you!"

......

However, no matter how much he pleaded, Kuang Zheng's eyes remained as cold as ice, without the slightest emotional fluctuation.

Seeing this, Chi Shen finally went mad!

"You heartless bastard! Even if you kill me, you won't live!"

Without my control, no one can stop this great formation from operating.

As long as the formation continues to absorb energy, it will explode once it reaches its limit.

And at this moment, we are already very close to that limit!

I never expected you to be so powerful. I have to admit, I miscalculated this time.

Even so, if I hadn't stopped the formation from operating, you would have been reduced to ashes in this earth-shattering explosion before long!

Despite hearing this threat, Kuang Zheng remained expressionless, as still as an iceberg, simply staring silently at the nearly insane Chi Shen before him.

Upon seeing this, Chi Shen was overwhelmed with despair and anger, which caused him to completely lose his mind!

"Since you're determined to kill me, then fine, let's perish together! Xuanyuan Formation! Explode!!"

With this hoarse roar, Chi Shen uttered his last words in this world.

Immediately afterwards, a deafening roar suddenly rang out, as if the entire world was trembling.

This deafening roar was both the lament of Chi Shen's dying breath and the prelude to a cataclysmic explosion...

Many years have passed, and time has flowed by, but that earth-shattering explosion remains deeply etched in people's memories.

Even across the seemingly endless distance between the three great empires, the deafening roar could still be clearly heard by everyone.

Since that horrific explosion, the once rampant beasts that frequently attacked humans have suddenly disappeared and have never launched such a large-scale attack again.

Kuang Zheng, who created countless legendary stories among the three great empires, along with the incomparably noble eldest princess of the Qin Empire, vanished without a trace, never to be seen again.

Time flies like an arrow; the sun and moon alternate, and in the blink of an eye, a thousand years have passed in a flash.

Despite the passage of time, the legends about Kuang Zheng and others have been passed down orally in human society and have endured for a long time.

Today, people have various speculations and interpretations about that terrifying explosion.

One widely circulated view holds that Kuang Zheng and his companions were actually undergoing a life-or-death trial by heaven.

It is said that under that tribulation of lightning, the sky and earth changed color, the wind and clouds surged, and the sound of lightning and thunder resounded through the sky.

In the end, Kuang Zheng and the other two successfully survived this terrible calamity and were able to ascend to immortality, transcending the mortal world.

Even today, humanity's exploration of the world remains confined to a seemingly boundless area of ​​a few hundred miles, and it has been slow to take broader steps.

But everyone firmly believed that Kuang Zheng and his companions must have overcome numerous difficulties and obstacles with their extraordinary strength and courage, and finally embarked on that mysterious path to the immortal realm, becoming revered immortals.
