Chapter 2521: Chapter 2524: Great Dao Repulsion?

Crackle!

Lightning flared wide, the thunder exploded in an instant, turning into a field of thunder-light that slowly dissipated.

"Damn, this guy’s strength is insane!"

"He blasted apart the power of the Heavenly Tribulation with one punch, this Yan Hu is no ordinary character!"

"Although it’s only the first bolt of Heavenly Tribulation, to handle it this easily... looks like he won’t have much problem getting through it."

The experts all around began quietly discussing in low voices.

Jiang Chen looked at Yan Hu’s body, which was shining all over with lightning, and the corner of his mouth curled into a faint smile.

This guy had been chasing after his footsteps all along; now that he had finally caught up and even surpassed him, he should be very happy, right?

Jiang Chen believed that more than breaking through to the Void Refinement Realm, what made Yan Hu happiest was that his cultivation realm had surpassed his own.

This wasn’t because Yan Hu had always been trying to compete with Jiang Chen, but because Yan Hu had always wanted to do what a protector ought to do—protect Jiang Chen.

But all this time, Yan Hu could only act as Jiang Chen’s helper at his side; when it came to facing true strong enemies, he was powerless, and could only watch helplessly as Jiang Chen risked his life.

With this breakthrough of Yan Hu’s, his strength had indeed caught up with Jiang Chen’s. An Acquired Realm Taoist Body at the Initial Stage of Virtual Refinement Realm was already about on par with a Son of Heavenly Dao at Divine Infant Realm Peak.

On the surface, Yan Hu should definitely be stronger than Jiang Chen, but Jiang Chen’s combat power was not something an ordinary Son of Heavenly Dao could compare with. If the two really fought a bout, who would be stronger and who weaker was still unknown.

Zzzt zzzt zzzt...

The thunderclouds in the sky slowly scattered.

Under the crowd’s watchful gaze, Yan Hu passed the Heavenly Tribulation without the slightest accident.

Crackle!

Lightning flashed, and Yan Hu shot into the auction house in an instant.

"Senior, I’ll go check on Hu Zi first."

Jiang Chen cupped his fists toward Kuang Long.

"Go, those Necro Spheres should be enough for him to condense a Great Dao Wheel of Light!"

Kuang Long waved his hand lightly. With his experience and eyesight, he knew perfectly well what Yan Hu was going back into the auction house to do, and the violent Thunder Path aura in one of the auction house’s private rooms could not escape his perception either.

Whoosh!

Jiang Chen nodded slightly, his figure flashing as he leaped back into the auction house. Yun Tao and the others cupped their fists toward Kuang Long and followed in succession.

Inside Private Room No. 2 of the auction house.

Jiang Chen’s figure appeared. He glanced at Yan Hu; at this moment, Yan Hu was sitting cross-legged in the middle of a large pile of Necro Spheres, eyes slightly closed, Great Dao Divine Light blazing all over his body, a vague Great Dao Wheel of Light circling around him.

Buzz!

A beam of Great Dao Divine Light burst forth from Jiang Chen’s body. A wisp filled with violent Thunderous Force shot from the center of his brows, flying toward Yan Hu’s Great Dao Wheel of Light.

Feeling the Power of the Great Dao bearing down, Yan Hu frowned slightly. When he sensed Jiang Chen’s aura, his brows relaxed, and he offered no resistance whatsoever, allowing that Thunderous Force to shoot into his Great Dao Wheel of Light.

Whoosh!

Crackle!

Lightning flared across the Great Dao Wheel of Light. After entering Yan Hu’s Great Dao Wheel of Light, that Thunderous Force actually turned directly into pure Power of the Great Dao of the Thunder Path, slowly melding into the Great Dao Wheel of Light.

Huff!

Jiang Chen let out a long breath and sat down cross-legged. His face was a bit pale at the moment, but there was a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.

Within that Power of the Great Dao just now was Jiang Chen’s most fundamental comprehension of the Thunder Path. What he had just done was equivalent to lending his Great Dao Wheel of Light to Si Huang’er for enlightenment.

After taking in Jiang Chen’s Great Dao Comprehension, the aura contained within Yan Hu’s Great Dao Wheel of Light grew even deeper. Even though it was still only a hazy shadow, it gave off an even more profound feeling!

"I’ve got to pick up the pace too."

Jiang Chen muttered softly, closed his eyes, and began to comprehend the Thunder Path Necro Spheres in the room.

Time flowed quietly by as the two cultivated. In that cultivation, another three days passed.

Over these three days, the aura on Yan Hu’s body had already stabilized, and the Great Dao Wheel of Light circling around him had become more and more solid. The Necro Spheres in the room had already been switched out once; at this moment, a thick layer of white powder covered the floor of the room, burying the waists of the two seated cross-legged.

Buzz!

Suddenly, a fluctuation of Power of the Great Dao burst out from Jiang Chen’s body, and a hazy Great Dao Wheel of Light of the Thunder Path appeared around him. Jiang Chen had now also reached the point where he could condense a Great Dao Wheel of Light of the Thunder Path.

Buzz buzz buzz!

However, just as Jiang Chen intended to continue comprehending the Thunder Path within the Necro Spheres and fully condense the Great Dao Wheel of Light, the hazy Divine Ring around him suddenly trembled, then abruptly collapsed, once again turning into a Thunder Path Origin Power that flew into the center of Jiang Chen’s brows.

At the same time, the other Great Dao Wheels of Light in his Sea of Consciousness suddenly emitted a powerful force of repulsion, fiercely covering that Ice Crystal-colored Origin Power of the Path of Ice that had likewise not yet condensed a Great Dao Wheel of Light, almost blasting that ice-crystal Origin Power right out of Jiang Chen’s Sea of Consciousness.

"The Great Dao repelling each other? How is that possible?!"

A jolt ran through Jiang Chen’s heart. His mind entered his Sea of Consciousness, carefully observing what was happening within.

At this moment, his Sea of Consciousness was far from calm.

The eight Great Dao Wheels of Light of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Light, Darkness, and the Dao of Wind were all radiating brilliant Great Dao Divine Light, exerting themselves to force the Ice Crystal Origin Power out of the Sea of Consciousness.

And the Great Dao Wheel of Light of the Spatial Path circled around the Divine Infant, seemingly just watching from the side.

The Thunder Path Origin Power that had returned to the Sea of Consciousness rushed in front of the Path of Ice Origin Power, and if not for Jiang Chen’s consciousness restraining its movement, it would already have smashed right into that Ice Crystal Origin Power!

"What in the world is going on? These powers have never shown any rejection like this before!"

Jiang Chen furrowed his brows tightly, his mind recalling the explanations of the Power of the Great Dao in The Tome of Dao.

"All things under heaven and earth possess spirit, and so does the Power of the Great Dao. Comprehending multiple Daos is not necessarily an absolute blessing. When Powers of the Great Dao debate against each other, if they fuse, they become an even stronger power; but if they repel each other, they will destroy the Origin..."

"When Powers of the Great Dao clash, they will destroy the Origin!"

Jiang Chen muttered under his breath, brows knitted, confusion in his eyes. "Even if they clash, shouldn’t that happen right when they’re first being comprehended? How could they clash at a time like this?"

He thought for a long time and still had not the slightest clue.

Buzz!

Just then, a wave of Great Dao Fluctuation spread out from Yan Hu’s body. Jiang Chen’s consciousness returned to his body; he opened his eyes and looked toward Yan Hu.

The Great Dao Wheel of Light around Yan Hu had fully condensed—round and smooth, clearly declaring its status as a perfected Great Dao Wheel of Light!

With a faint smile, Jiang Chen set aside the confusion in his heart. This wasn’t the time to ponder such things, and fortunately, to him there wasn’t much difference here between the Initial Stage of Virtual Refinement and Divine Infant Realm Peak. He would wait until the matter of the Abandoned Plain was dealt with before considering it!

At that thought, a chilling cold light flashed in Jiang Chen’s eyes.
