My Identity Is Becoming More and More Astonishing

"Had he planned the battle strategy from the beginning?" the armored strongman thought with a chilling fear, "Did he know from the start that the Supreme One would make a move?!"

"Sir!" The administrator, unable to answer, immediately used all his strength to fly toward the temple and shouted to the old man with a white beard, "We can't stop it!"

At the same time, Chen Yu also fully utilized his combat skills, timing it perfectly and controlling his speed, as he swung his six arms at the old man again.

During a previous graduation assessment in the arena, facing the monsters that blasted apart the coliseum, this A-level Supreme had once demonstrated an ability to keep "matter" suspended in the air for an extended period.

Chen Yu had kept that in mind.

He also noticed at the time that during the ability's usage, there was a gesture of waving which resulted in a moment of rigidity.

In high-level battles, that brief moment could initiate many moves.

So now, there were only two choices left for the old man with a white beard.

One, to continue evading his attacks but then watch helplessly as the symbol of the Transcendent realm—the temple—got obliterated by a comet along with the space shields.

Two, to use his ability to save the temple, and during the rigidity from it, get harshly struck by him.

Of course, a battle plan made on the spot against an A-level Supreme could not be perfect. Even whether the opponent could use another method to manage both in a split second, Chen Yu did not know.

But this was a gamble that cost nothing.

If successful, great.

If failed, it didn't matter.

He didn't care about the outcome...

"Can."

In a flash, the old man figured out Chen Yu's plan and, as Chen Yu had hoped, swung his right hand, quickly uttering the word: "Stop."

The sky instantly turned a colorless pure gray.

The "comet" about to make contact with the temple froze in mid-air without any buffer against gravity, seemingly like a paused film.

Even the flames burning around it were simultaneously frozen in place.

This proved that the old man's ability was not merely "defying gravity."

And it was at this moment of "waving."

Calculating the right timing, Chen Yu's six punches arrived, hitting the old man without any miss!

Six eight-hundred-meter-long enormous arms.

Extreme collision.

It was as if six nearly 300-story skyscrapers had intersected with each other.

"Boom!!!"

Accompanied by an unprecedented loud blast.

The six giant arms shattered inch by inch!

An unimaginable material explosion, generating a more "spectacular" shockwave than before, instantly wiped the colorless world away.

"Retreat!"

Feeling the terrifying might of the shockwave, the face of the alliance administrator changed dramatically, and he hastily retreated in shock.

But even with rapid evacuation, he still couldn't escape the spread of the shockwave and was swiftly swept into it, tumbling endlessly...

And Chen Yu, at the very center of the "great explosion," naturally bore all the rebound force. He coughed up a river of blood as vast as the ocean and fell backward.

He hit the ground hard.

"Boom—"

The earth collapsed.

Lava surged.

Fragments of the earth's crust were pressed out.

It triggered an even more severe earthquake within a thousand miles of the capital.

The once vast and bustling city was completely reduced to rubble.

But compared to the somewhat prepared and actively evacuating population of the capital, the people of the numerous cities further away, who were also affected and yet unaware, suffered equally heavy casualties.

They cried, writhed, and struggled, yet they could not attract the attention of the two Transcendents.

Because the blue whale never hears the whimpers of plankton.

Perhaps only on the day it falls, it will feel the pain of all creatures fiercely gnawing and vehemently devouring within its body in resentment...

Who knows how long it had been.

The dust slowly settled.

Standing up with his kilometer-high body, and stepping on the underground water that had submerged his feet, Chen Yu wobbled as he looked forward.

In the very center of his attack, the old man with the white beard still stood there quietly.

His clothes were not disheveled.

His hair not tangled.

His face showed no sign of emotion.

Only a faint trace of blood, almost imperceptible, appeared at the corner of the old man's mouth.

Underneath the angry exterior, Chen Yu was clear-headed yet despairing inside.

Even though he had already "highly estimated" the strength of a Tier-A Transcendent, he ultimately found that he had underestimated them.

He struck with all his might.

It could be said that his attack far exceeded the combined damage of more than a dozen, or even dozens, of B+ Transcendents.

But it only caused a slight injury to the old man before him.

"..."

"..."

"Impressive." The white-bearded old man silently observed Chen Yu for a long time, opened his mouth, spat out a broken tooth, and spoke with a lisp, "Truly remarkable."

Chen Yu: "..."

Well then.

It didn't even count as a minor injury...

"The gap between B and A tiers is like a chasm." Casually discarding the tooth he had purposely broken, the old man, enduring the discomfort in his inner abdomen, said, "Even in the entire history of the myriad clans, there has never been a record of a B-tier contending with an A-tier. Moreover, I'm not just a beginner at A-. You are, truly remarkable."

"..." Chen Yu remained silent.

The rage in his chest was still burning.

Six transparent arms were also regenerating from his back.

But Chen Yu didn't know how to continue fighting.

Was there anything that could make him even angrier, to increase his power significantly?

"..."

For some reason, four characters suddenly flashed through his mind.

—Sacrifice family...

Chen Yu: "Fuck."

"No need to be discouraged; a genius like you, I won't kill," the old man said with a smile. "Instead, I will focus on cultivating you. I can hardly believe what a scene it would be when you reach the pinnacle of A-tier."

"I won't stoop to your level," Chen Yu's voice thundered.

"If you think you are righteous," the old man raised his hand, pointing to the sparse wreckage below, "the people you killed just now were not few. If we were to count, perhaps several hundred thousand."

"...Compared to the billions of women and children you plan to slaughter, this is a drop in the bucket."

"We could have avoided this conflict."

"Then would you give up carrying out that damned 'Divine Clan's' command?"

"No," the old man answered without hesitating. "Not now, either."

"So, you're the ones who truly deserve to die," Chen Yu's anger, which had been subsiding, climbed once again.

"This state of yours must be your limit. Then I may speak freely, you can't defeat me," the white-bearded old man said with a smile, hands behind his back. "How about this, let's make a deal."

"Thump... thump... thump..."

Chen Yu didn't respond, but instead stepped forward, attacking the old man once again.

He still had a trump card.

"I will help you ascend to A-tier," the old man spoke faster. "Once you become the strongest among humans, whatever policies you wish to implement will be up to you."

Chen Yu's steps halted.

In the distance.

A young man with a duckbill cap, having clumsily crawled out from the ruins, stared at the white-bearded old man, dazedly lost in thought: "Is he..."

"Deliberately provoking my father..."

Within the battlefield.

The old man might have heard the murmuring from afar, glanced in the direction of the young man, but didn't care, and continued to Chen Yu: "The truth of this world is such. Survival of the fittest. Whoever has the bigger fist gets the final say. If you're the strongest among humans, naturally you can resist oppression from other races. If you are the strongest of all clans, you could even oppress them in return."

Chen Yu: "..."

The old man: "What you have done today, including your past misdeeds, I can overlook on behalf of the Transcendent realm. After all, internal consciousness conflicts are not as important as the overall interests of civilization."

"What about 'aborting pregnant women' and 'infants'...?"

"No," the old man quickly refused again: "Because I haven't lost my sanity, the 'Divine Clan's' commands must be carried out."

"Then why the fuck are you dragging this out," Chen Yu's flames around him surged as he took another step forward.

"But because I haven't lost my sanity, I won't kill you," the old man narrowed his eyes, "If you insist on going crazy. Then I must act. I'll control you, imprison you for a hundred years or so, until you cool down."

"*! (No way),"

Suddenly, a stern shout came from afar.

Chen Yu and the old man looked in that direction.

They saw a member of the Komodo Divine Clan, rapidly approaching with flickering form.

Given its speed, its strength was at least at the human B- Transcendent level.

"He must die," said the Komodo Divine Clan member excitedly, with a sneer that turned its "narrow" crocodile mouth, straining to spit out these difficult human words.

"Heroes must die."
