Chapter 689

?Chapter 689: Chapter 689: Creating Pressure_1 Chapter 689: Chapter 689: Creating Pressure_1 Ren Tianhei, now transformed into a monster, relied on his powerful body, so Xu Fan decided to use this very advantage that Ren Tianhei prided himself upon to thoroughly defeat him, crushing Ren Tianhei both physically and psychologically.

An ordinary person would typically play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses.

However, Xu Fan had no need to do so, because he had no “weakness,” hence he didn’t need to “avoid.”

Therefore, Xu Fan did not dodge or evade, directly engaging in a head-on collision with Ren Tianhei.

Boom…

An explosion sounded abruptly.

Their fists collided in midair without any trickery, striking each other fiercely.

Black and golden auras constantly clashed, the dispersing energy waves expanding in all directions, stripping layers of soil from the ground around them.

The two of them—one nearly six meters tall and the other of average human stature—presented an extreme contrast in size.

It was as if an adult was in combat with an infant.

If judged solely on appearances, perhaps anyone would believe this to be a battle without suspense.

Yet now, Xu Fan was not at a disadvantage at all.

With a closer, more detailed observation, one could see that the monster’s body was slowly rising and even trembling involuntarily.

The black aura was clearly being suppressed by the golden light.

It is a pity that the monster’s face could not be seen, so no one knew what it was feeling at the moment.

In this fierce contest of strength, he hadn’t expected Xu Fan to have the upper hand.

“Roar…”

Ren Tianhei roared furiously, then suddenly withdrew his hand, making a move that took Xu Fan by surprise.

Ren Tianhei’s fingers shot out five sharp spikes.

With a roar, he clawed at his own chest.

Splat…

Those fingertips with sharp spikes pierced through his scales, spraying blood with a stench.

So vicious and brutal, as if it were not his own body, but that of an enemy.

Then, with a scoop of his five fingers, he actually extracted a still-beating heart.

It was so rough that even some of the blood vessels connected to the heart were pulled out, with blood bursting from the vessels as if it cost nothing.

This scene looked unspeakably horrifying, especially that heart, the size of a watermelon, emanating some strange black light.

“Cackle…”

Ren Tianhei laughed cruelly.

With an evil gaze fixed on Xu Fan, he opened his mouth and threw the heart in his hand into it, then started chewing with “smack smack” noises, blood trickling down the corners of his mouth.

He was actually eating his own heart, and it seemed he was even enjoying it immensely.

The act of gouging out his own heart had already been terrifying, but eating it was even more so.

If an ordinary person were to witness this scene, they would probably be scared to death.

Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle…

Without a heart, Ren Tianhei’s chest had only a gaping hole that kept oozing blood, which nearly formed a stream beneath him.

What was exceptionally eerie was that having lost his heart, Ren Tianhei not only did not die, but his strength seemed to have increased.

The black light radiating from his body grew more intense and appeared to be on the verge of turning the tide, suppressing the golden light emitted by Xu Fan.

“Xu Fan, you damned bastard, I’ll tear you to pieces today!”

Ren Tianhei pounded his chest in a frenzied roar.

His strength rapidly increased, his right hand raised high as if sprung, and he swung it down viciously, his fist smashing into Xu Fan’s.

The immense force actually managed to push Xu Fan back.

Xu Fan’s figure, like a falling leaf, gracefully retreated, swiftly moving back more than ten meters in the blink of an eye.

“Hahaha…

Die!

You’re not my match at all.”

Ren Tianhei pressed his advantage relentlesly, not giving Xu Fan a moment’s respite, and continued his furious assault.

Xu Fan’s expression remained unchanged, and far from retreating, his eyes blazed with an even stronger fighting spirit.

He had been continuously absorbing Chaotic Heavenly Thunder Spiritual Power within the ruins, and after ceaseless tempering, his Chaos Heaven-Opening Body was now only half a step from the third stage.

However, reaching the third stage was not a simple matter—both opportunity and time were indispensable.

But now, he had stumbled upon an excellent opportunity.

????0.??

After transforming, Ren Tianhei’s body became incredibly strong, perfectly serving as a whetstone for him, allowing him to grow stronger with each battle and helping him break through the barriers of the Chaos Heaven-Opening Body.

Thus, he was not afraid of Ren Tianhei’s strength.

He feared only that Ren Tianhei wouldn’t be strong enough, the more powerful Ren Tianhei was, the more obvious the effect of his tempering would be.

“Come again!”

Xu Fan chuckled lightly, not using any techniques, and with bare fists charged towards Ren Tianhei once more.

Boom boom boom…

Without any fancy moves, Xu Fan relied solely on the enhancements provided by the Chaos Heaven-Opening Body, battling instinctively with Ren Tianhei.

For a time, the two exchanged blow for blow, fighting fiercely.

Ren Tianhei’s form was huge, and each of his attacks, not only powerful, covered a wide area, rendering the space within several meters around him completely impenetrable.

Xu Fan was like an extremely agile loach, weaving through Ren Tianhei’s attack range, while continuing to strike back, his situation seeming desperately perilous, making onlookers break out in a cold sweat for him.

The tremendous sounds of battle resounded in the nearby mountains and forests.

Waves of energy spread out, incessantly destroying the surrounding rocks, vegetation, even mountains, leaving the ground pocked and uneven as if struck by meteors.

Animals within dozens of miles scattered in shock and panic.

It was fortunate that the location of their battle was a deserted area with no human inhabitants, otherwise there would have been many casualties.

The two moved faster and faster, and in the end, one could only see a black shadow and a golden figure constantly colliding; each collision sounded with a thunderous boom that shook the ground.

It was so fast and shadowy that it was difficult to catch their actual movements.

Such an intense exchange was something that even powerhouses who had just entered the Dongxu Realm might find difficult to achieve.

As Xu Fan fought more ferociously and became ever more valiant, he finally began to feel the barrier of the Chaos Heaven-Opening Body’s realm start to loosen ever so slightly.

This discovery made Xu Fan’s heart surge, his will to battle growing even fiercer.

On the other hand, Ren Tianhei felt increasingly uncertain, even becoming somewhat fearful.
