Chapter 1604: Chapters 152-153: Senior Brother Yi Faces a Challenge

“Die!”

The Huntian Hammer swung, as if heaven and earth were collapsing. These once insurmountably Supreme Strong, under Mo Yang’s Huntian Hammer, were no different from ordinary cultivators.

Even though they were considered strong in the world and famously imposing across the Chaotic Void of Myriad Heavens and Worlds, facing Mo Yang now, they were still so fragile.

At this moment, Mo Yang seemed to vent his own anger through these people, each strike was decisive and ruthless, not leaving an ounce of hesitation, not giving these people any chance to escape.

“Can’t defeat Wan Fayi, can’t even defeat the likes of you?” He had no mercy for those who dared to provoke him.

As a Heaven’s Proud of the Heavenly Craft Realm, since the rise of Mo Yang, he had defeated countless opponents, even some of the Heaven’s Proud from the Divine Land World, yet these people were generally not his equals and were successively defeated by him.

It can be said that the real setback was encountering Wan Fayi, it would have been fine if he were just barely defeated due to a small difference, but this defeat made him see the huge chasm between them.

If one could say that he only used seventy percent of his strength in the previous encounter, still holding back, then how much strength did Wan Fayi use, did he even surpass fifty percent?

This inevitably shook Mo Yang to the core and led him to wonder if this is the disparity between him and a true genius?

Though he had heard of the reputation of Wan Fayi and knew that the so-called geniuses of other forces might just be all show and no substance, but for a Top Immortal Sect like the Shenxiao Sect, to stand out among countless competitors and become the champion, it was impossible to be just a facade.

Yet even so, he believed that even if there was a difference in strength between them, it would not be too extreme, at least such a gap wasn’t irreparable.

However, this one battle made it clear to him that the opponent was even more formidable than the rumors, his displayed strength was unimaginably terrifying.

One used seventy percent, and the other perhaps only fifty percent–this seemingly small twenty percent difference, but at the level of the Supreme Strong, every bit is as wide as the difference between heaven and earth.

This was no small blow to Mo Yang, it made his previously arrogant heart completely sink, devoid of any pride.

“Growth is gradually realizing that you are not the center of the world, realizing that you are just an ordinary person. Never assume that you are so-called Heaven’s Proud. There are always people better than you, and a heaven beyond this heaven; there will always be more talented beings in the world.” This was what a senior had advised Mo Yang when he noticed his arrogant mentality.

However, the proud Mo Yang of that time was full of vigor, having defeated all peers of the Heavenly Craft Realm and even some older generation strong individuals, greatly bolstering his confidence to nearly the pinnacle.

Perhaps at the beginning when he first left the Heavenly Craft Realm and entered the vast Chaos Void, Mo Yang still maintained some caution, but as he continuously defeated renown figures across All Heavens, even some strong individuals from the Divine Continent, Mo Yang inevitably reached a point of complacency.

He believed that the geniuses sung of in this world only became so because they hadn’t met him; once they did, he would easily defeat them and snatch their renown.

For this reason, when facing Wan Fayi, he did not shy away but bravely met him, believing he had the confidence to win.

However, during this clash, he was completely suppressed, never gaining the upper hand from start to finish; for him, this was a colossal shock, a severe blow to his confidence.

Only at this moment did he truly comprehend the significance of that earlier admonition; real growth is realizing that you are not the protagonist of the world, that you are no longer the true center.

Perhaps in the Heavenly Craft Realm, when first entering the Chaos Void, he was the star for a time, drawing countless gazes, but when he clashed with Wan Fayi, he became the backdrop, mere supporting cast.

This was no small blow for Mo Yang, leaving him in an extremely uncomfortable mood; the arrival of these few at the moment undoubtedly became the outlet for venting his fury.

The slaughter never ceased, the clash between Wan Fayi and Mo Yang did not mark the end of conflict, but rather the beginning of a greater war, with these strong beings slaughtering each other, and strong beings falling at every moment.

“Senior Brother Wan!”

After Wan Fayi casually slew several Supreme Strong who failed to escape in time, he did not continue to act further, but was joined by several disciples from the Shenxiao Sect.

Just as some had speculated at the beginning, with so many powerful beings gathered here, it was inevitable that Shenxiao Sect Disciples would come, posing a significant hidden danger and adding strength to Wan Fayi.

Sure enough, there were Shenxiao Sect Disciples hidden here, and after killing the competitors nearby, they chose not to continue the entanglement and immediately moved closer to Wan Fayi.

After all, in the current melee, unless possessing top-notch strength like Wan Fayi, even if one gained a temporary victory, it would be easy to overlook something and provide an opportunity for others to launch a surprise attack.
