Four Virtual Tribulation Realm cultivators attacked Zen at the sa ti, two of whom were at the middle stage of the Virtual Tribulation Realm. This was proof of how wary they were of Zen.
Back when Zen was still in the Illuminating Soul Realm, he had already been able to defeat divine-level talents who had reached the Internal Elixir Realm. And now that he had stepped into the Virtual Tribulation Realm, nobody knew exactly how powerful he truly was.
But they thought that no matter how powerful Zen was, it would still be difficult for him to fight four Virtual Tribulation Realm warriors at once.
Morphens's expression changed when he saw the number of enemy warriors attacking Zen. He took a step forward as his body began to beco translucent and was about to use the Mystical Pace to approach and help Zen when Emanuel thrust his spear at him suddenly, forcing him back.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Zen. Rocher, Patrick, and their companions were worried, and it showed on their faces. It didn't matter that Zen's cultivation base had risen magnificently in the last two years. They still thought that he wouldn't be able to fight four Virtual Tribulation Realm experts by himself.
On the other hand, Zen's eyes glittered with an excited confidence as he was surrounded by the four Virtual Tribulation Realm experts. His body beca vague, like a mirage, constantly stretching and moving like a leaf creating ripples on water.
“Is that an illusion?”
“Is he using a bodily movent skill?”
The four Virtual Tribulation Realm cultivators found themselves thinking as they watched Zen in exasperation.
But since they had already made their moves and Zen hadn't dodged them or made a move, how could they let go of this opportunity and not attack him?
Different kinds of attacks rained down on Zen in the blink of an eye.
However, a strange scene played out before everyone's eyes. It looked like none of those attacks were touching Zen and he remained completely unhard.
It did look like the warriors' swords and sabers were striking or stabbing Zen's body, but since Zen's body looked like sothing that didn't physically exist at the mont, they seed to slice through thin air.
Morphens was fighting Emanuel but as he looked over in Zen's direction, his concern turned to amazent.
“He's applying Space Law! And it is the Space Law of a higher layer!” Morphens exclaid, imnsely surprised. He wondered rather excitedly, 'Where had Zen been these past two years? How did he achieve this?'
Emanuel, too, had his attention on the fight between Zen and the four other warriors. When he saw Zen's strange bodily movent skill, he was shocked beyond reason.
“How is this even possible?” Emanuel muttered disbelievingly. A bad premonition presented itself to Emanuel, telling him that he had probably underestimated Zen's strength yet again.
It felt like deja vu, because he had experienced this exact sa feeling the very first ti he had seen Zen.
At first, Emanuel had thought that Zen was just a lucky fellow who had ascended from the Cloud Sect. He had almost killed Zen when they had co face to face at the close of the Cloud Road.
But never had he thought that Letitia would stop him and that she would go on and demand him to scram.
At the ti, Emanuel had set out to kill Zen but had never gotten the chance. After that, Zen had quickly risen up to beco a martial arts star in the Central Region. His cultivation base had improved at an astonishing speed that was far beyond Emanuel's imagination. Emanuel had felt greatly threatened once Zen had reached the Illuminating Soul Realm.
Because of that exact sa reason, Emanuel had rejoiced when Zen had disappeared. The past two years were bliss for him, but he had never expected Zen to co back suddenly, as a Virtual Tribulation Realm cultivator and with obvious improvents in all aspects. Emanuel was beginning to wonder if he could still beat Zen.
And his mind was throwing up nothing but doubts. It took him a while before the answer beca crystal clear to him.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Zen had thrown out four punches in quick succession, felling the four Virtual Tribulation Realm warriors who'd been fighting with him.
The warriors beca powerless against Zen, falling to the ground, moaning, and finding it difficult to get back up again. Their ashen faces betrayed the degree to which they had beco injured.
Zen had still been a war general when he had beco able to fight the top-level war lords in the Tower of Sin. Now that he had reached the Virtual Tribulation Realm and had the strength of a war lord, it had beco quite easy for him to deal with these warriors, who were at the primary or middle level of the Virtual Tribulation Realm.
However, these things that were normal for Zen were obviously abnormal for others.
Everyone on the platform was stunned into silence. The scene in front of them made them feel that the person they were fighting wasn't a Virtual Tribulation Realm cultivator but a Life and Death Realm expert. Only a Life and Death Realm expert could pulverize those warriors like Zen just had.
Rocher smiled faintly as he remarked, “Looks like he's still the sa Zen. He was always much stronger than others on the sa level.”
When he had started out in martial arts, Zen had been able to fight against an Illuminating Soul Realm warrior when he was still at the nature level. Once he stepped into the Illuminating Soul Realm, he had beco powerful enough to easily prevail over an Internal Elixir Realm warrior. Usually, the higher one's cultivation base was, the harder it was to maintain an advantage over others of the sa level. After all, every warrior who reached the Virtual Tribulation Realm must be the best of all.
This was exactly why Rocher, Patrick, and Morphens had been so worried about Zen.
They now understood that Zen still maintained this massive advantage in his fighting abilities. Considering his previous performances, they knew that Zen was now powerful enough to fight a Life and Death Realm expert.
Exactly how strong was a Life and Death Realm cultivator? Every cultivator at the Life and Death Realm was the most powerful across the continent. Even Letitia was still trying to break into the Life and Death Realm. Nobody had expected Zen to possess such terrifying strength, especially after he had disappeared for two whole years.
Everybody was in awe of his astonishing improvent.
Emanuel's mind had figured out the answer to his earlier question and it was clear as day now. He now understood that Zen could absolutely crush him with his current strength.
His heart sank, just like the other cultivators who had co with him.
Zen turned to Emanuel and said coldly, “Stop resisting and you'll be punished less. Or I might have to kill you without rcy.”
Many of the Virtual Tribulation Realm cultivators were stunned. Zen's display of strength had planted seeds of fear in their hearts and was causing their minds to waver.
“Even if you give up resisting, he won't let you off that easily!” Emanuel yelled to his warriors, refusing to give up. His words were like a shot of adrenaline to the warriors, who clutched their weapons with renewed vigor at his words. They were carrying out a conspiracy against the sect, and any cri of this sort was basically a capital offense. It was similar to a rebellion in the imperial palace. Anyone planning to subvert the country couldn't expect an atonent after their movent failed.
Zen sneered at Emanuel's words and took a step forward, and then another, as he headed straight for Emanuel. He was the source of the chaos, and the event wouldn't end if he didn't die.
What was happening now was completely different from before. Earlier, Rocher had chosen not to kill Emanuel because even if they had killed him, they wouldn't have been able to change the situation. But now that Zen had control over the situation, as long as he killed Emanuel, the ringleader of the conspiracy, everyone else would give up resisting.
Emanuel retreated at full speed as he saw Zen chasing after him.
“You want to escape? There's no escape for you today!”
The Light of Water enveloped Cloud Hall. It was impossible for Emanuel to escape from this enchanted barrier. He had only recently reached the late stage of the Virtual Tribulation Realm and his strength was only equivalent to that of a war lord belonging to level eight or nine. He was in no way a match for Zen.
Emanuel was overco with regret as Zen chased him. He had thought that he'd never fail in his plans. But Zen's appearance had been unexpected and had thrown a spanner in the works.
As a mber of the Cloud Hall, Emanuel was now clear about Zen's extraordinary talent.
It wouldn't be long before Zen would climb to the top of the martial world, and when that day ca, no one in the Central Region would be able to match him.
Emanuel was not God. He had never calculated or even dread that Zen would return at such a crucial mont.
“Zen, spare ! Just this once! I will go into hiding and never enter Central Region again!” Emanuel begged for Zen's rcy as he dodged his attacks.
“I'm sorry but that's not possible. I had already planned to kill you but since you are an elder of the Cloud Hall, I thought it was improper for to do that. But you forced yourself into this position and now, it's too late for you to beg for rcy,” Zen said coldly as he traveled towards Emanuel, the distance between them decreasing each ti he jumped.
“If you kill , my Zhuo Family will definitely beco an enemy of the Cloud Hall! All the noble clans of Cloudy City will act against Cloud Hall!” Emanuel threatened.
“You think all the noble clans in the Cloudy City will follow your Zhuo Family that's just a third-grade clan? In your dreams, perhaps!” Zen retorted. He was now only ten feet away from Emanuel.
“Then go to perdition!” Now that he knew he couldn't escape, Emanuel suddenly turned around and pulled out a black spear from his space ring. He stabbed it at Zen as he yelled, “Sun Extinguishing Spear!”
The mont he thrust the spear, the tip began to glow so brightly that it felt like it could take away the radiance of the sun and the moon. Being an elder of the Cloud Hall ant that Emanuel was undoubtedly strong.
But Zen didn't even budge at Emanuel's full-blown attack. Instead, he sneered as he grabbed the tip of his spear with his bare hands. With just a push, Emanuel's top-grade fairy weapon bent and began to crack into pieces, an ode to Zen's great strength.
This was the last straw for Emanuel, his heart sinking into a bottomless abyss. The difference in his and Zen's strengths was much greater than he had imagined.
