35 Earth shattering battle

Physique Devil immediately attacked Meng once it fully manifested itself, trying to punch him with its right fist.

Meng narrowed his eyes and didn't hold back, immediately increasing his weight almost to the maximum he could bear before meeting the punch with his own punch.

*BOOM* *CRACK* Upon the impact causing the crimson ground under them immediately rupture with few pieces of earth flying around however, one figure was still more at advantage during this exchange while the other figure was blown away into one of the randomly scattered boulders. The surface rupture itself was at least 150 meters long and wide.

"Ugh, a little bit tougher, aren't we?" The one who was blown away was Meng who commented with a pained smile while getting out of the dent of the boulder. There was visible blood on the corners of his mouth but he was still smiling.

'Just as I expected...this Physique Devil is stronger than this human. It's faster, stronger, and tougher...overcoming an opponent like this requires good techniques. Still, it looks like this didn't bring that human's mood down, on the contrary...' Phoenix spirit thought after witnessing the exchange.

A Physique Devil didn't leave Meng a chance to even catch a breath before it appeared on his left side, aiming its punch on Meng's temple.

Meng didn't even look to the side but Phoenix spirit widened its eyes when it saw Meng forming a wide smile despite him not being ready to receive yet another punch.

A punch aiming for his temple was suddenly stopped by Meng's right palm with a flashing image of the moon right in front of it.

*crack* A little crack appeared on the moon but it was nowhere near enough to destroy it, after all, it was this Physique Devil's nemesis, however, the ground on Meng's right side still began quaking with a few ruptures appearing here and there.

Meng used his chance and kicked the Physique Devil into its stomach with all his strength, blowing it numerous meters away but it didn't look like Physique Devil received any major damage as it immediately stood up from the ground and was preparing to attack Meng once again.

"You might be stronger than me due to superior speed and more advanced physique but I have studied the advantages and disadvantages of my own physique. You are me, therefore I know all of your weaknesses." Meng turned at Physique Devil with his head held high before he stuck his tongue towards it in a playful manner.

'Yang energy for purifying this Devil's body while Yin energy to use soft oriented defenses to counter the immense weight behind its punches.'

The Physique Devil once again rushed at Meng.

"Haha, stubborn." Meng stomped his foot and flared up his energy to the maximum, enveloping his body in the amber-colored and blue-gray glow. 2 illusionary gates once again appeared behind his back and this caused the Phoenix spirit to widen its eyes in shock as if it finally realized something.

Meng also rushed forward to meet Physique Devil, blocking its punch with his soft palm before dodging its kick aiming for his chin, then he used his left fist enveloped in amber-colored glow to punch its stomach which seemed to only slightly hurt it.

"*sigh* This is going to take a long time..." Meng sighed before he had to once again defend himself against relentless attacks from Physique Devil.

'They are already fighting for 10 hours straight but it looks like that human is nearing his limits while the Physique Devil is only slightly damaged but it is apparent that his techniques work against it so why hasn't he used that third move he mentioned before yet?' Phoenix spirit thought while looking at exhausted and battered Meng who was gasping for a breath. The Physique Devil had a few small yellow cracks all over its body but no matter how injured it became, it never stopped its series of relentless attacks.

From the 5th hour on, Meng started using a spear as he was more proficient with it but he used his first 2 moves only a few times, reserving his energy as much as he could. The crimson earth that used to be under their legs was no more and now it looked like an enormous earthquake just took the place there. Most of the boulders that used to be standing scattered across the entire space were either shattered or with deep dents in form of a human figure.

Meng who was just facing yet another punch containing enormous weight abandoned his spear that returned to his inventory and then he kicked off the ground to the back and his right hand started glowing in light blue-gray color.

Meng used his left hand without using any profound energy to block the punch but his left hand was easily pushed back and he ended up catching the hit in its full power.

"GAH!" He immediately coughed up a large amount of blood as his exhausted state was no longer as tough as before but he immediately formed an exhausted smile and thrust his right hand towards Physique Devil's stomach that was covered with yellow glowing cracks. His hand was able to slightly penetrate into its body but he was immediately blown away. His entire body slid across the ground, hitting many rocks in the process.

'Is this as far this human will go?! ...Can't be' Phoenix spirit couldn't believe that this human who was too proud to even accept its blood would die right in front of its eyes. Most importantly, it had no idea what would happen with Physique Devil after it would devour Meng's flesh.

"Human, stand up! You will die if you lose consciousness..." Meng who was blankly looking at the crimson sky while lying on the ground suddenly heard Phoenix spirit's voice inside his mind.

"Ha-*cough*-ha, so lousy...It feels weird knowing that a spirit of divine phoenix worries about me. I am just admiring the sky, no need to yell at me, I am not intending to fall asleep until I use all of my energy till my profound veins become completely dried up!" Meng laughed while also coughing up more blood before he started slowly getting up to his feet, he had an absent-minded look in his amber eyes. His entire appearance was horrifying as his entire left hand was covered in blood together with his exposed torso. He had bruises almost everywhere on his body.

"How can you be so carele-?!" Phoenix spirit stopped talking once it saw Physique Devil's trembling body that was standing in one place without moving.

'?! At that time when he took that punch head-on, he used his last bits of remaining energy to invade Physique Devil's body...As I thought, it's a pure Yin energy!! The Water Laws focus on control and pure Yin energy is where Water Laws originated from. Both pure Yin and Yang energies are the origins of all Laws existing up to this day. This human is already one step above Evil God but how are his body and profound veins capable of hosting such violent and chaotic energies?! Could it be his special physique?!' This time, Phoenix spirit truly lost its composure, with the little remaining memories, it was trying to search for the answers behind Meng's abnormality.

"You fucker has done a lot of damage to my body, even I am not exactly sure if I can survive it but...hehe, at least I will take you with me and deny you the meal!" Meng said with a wide smile and he slammed his hands together, concentrating all his remaining Yang energy in the small gap between them, however just to be sure he didn't hesitate to also use his life essence to enhance the technique as it was his last chance.

"?! You just wasted 100 years out of 150 years of lifespan you gained not even a day ago?!" Phoenix spirit's golden eyes widened at seeing how Meng didn't hesitate to even use the whole 100 years of his lifespan to enhance his profound skill.

Meng's hands parted away and a bright amber spear illuminating the entire Phoenix spirit's dimension appeared, hovering in front of him. Phoenix spirit could feel its heat just from its light, it actually felt as looking at a smaller version of the sun itself

"I am usually a polite person who mostly doesn't bother others but I am also kind of person who likes to hold grudges once wronged!" Meng said aloud with a bloodied smile before he grabbed the spear and threw it at the Physique Devil who still had its movement sealed by the pure Yin energy raging inside its body.

A bright spear illuminating the entire dimension flew at rapid speed, its head pierced the Physique Devil torso but it didn't pierce through its entire body, instead, the spear flew now together with the Physique Devil to the end of this Trial Ground's dimension.

*Thud* Meng's body has fallen on the ground, not having the strength to even keep conscious but before he fainted, he muttered lowly with a faint smile and dull changed red eyes: "...die"

The moment Meng muttered that one word, the bright spear started shine even more in a blinding manner before...

*BOOM!!!* *BOOM!!!* *BOOM!!!*

The entire half of the dimension was caught up in the explosion, decimating anything in its path, completely destroying already damaged crimson ground, letting the magma that was flowing deep below the ground come up. The explosion was a bit too big and the spear detonated quite early, therefore, Meng was about to get caught up in it but his body suddenly disappeared and appeared on the other end of the explosion.

'Although I couldn't interfere with that Physique Devil, I can interfere with that human. Still, the last attack that human released was enough to decimate any ordinary profound practitioner whole 6 realms above this human while gravely injuring anyone 7 realms above. The potential of this Profound Art named 7 Moves of Ferocious Sun is limitless in this small realm.' Phoenix spirit thought while looking at Meng's unconscious body with a hint of gentleness in its eyes.

'Even his Yang flames are not the same as that Golden Crow's since his flames have purification properties. To think that such an interesting human would be born on such a small planet...' Phoenix spirit thought and changed the scenery once again to something more comfortable for Meng to recover.
