Deities: Starting From Goblins

Chapter 823: Chapter 487: Spear of the Progenitor

The recent battle had already cost seventy million top-grade spirit stones, and now only half remained. If I didn’t play my trump cards at this moment, I feared I wouldn’t even make it into the top three.

But advancing into the top three meant that I would have to exert myself to the limit.

In this instant of hesitation, a black and red fire cloud condensed in the palms of Huoyun E, his face sullen as he stared at Logan, muttering something under his breath.

“Had you not become my opponent this time, I might have already won. Nevertheless, your mere Saint Seat Second Level strength is destined to fall to my hands today!”

Huoyun E let out a roar, his power starting to grow by leaps and bounds.

Logan’s eyes suddenly widened, as he saw Huoyun E stealthily pop an elixir into his mouth.

Given the substantial power boost he was now experiencing, it was very likely that the elixir was what caused his strength to surge.

As for why he would resort to such cheating tactics, probably everyone knew why.

Logan no longer hesitated; if he couldn’t even make it into the top three, then everything up to this point would have been in vain.

So, he burned even more spirit stones, his power growing even more unruly and hard, forcefully receiving that strike of black and read fire cloud attack.

Huoyun E had considered that attack his strongest move, yet he hadn’t expected it to be so easily caught by Logan, his face filled with disbelief.

In his mind, it was absolutely impossible for anyone to withstand a strike from a Half-step Saint Emperor like himself.

Moreover, his biggest trump card had now been exposed at this moment, and it would not be feasible to resort to such tricks once he entered the top three.

But Logan’s attack didn’t stop there; instead, at the tip of his fist, he condensed even more spiritual power. The punch, as if filled with the might of thousands of troops, caused the heavens to morph and the weather to change.

Everyone present was amazed at the strike Logan had dealt.

“I really don’t know if this kid is bluffing or if he actually has this kind of power. For someone at the Saint Seat Second Level like him to display such momentum, he must have external assistance!”

“You can mess with food, but not with words. Didn’t this kid surprise us quite a few times before? How can we dismiss him so quickly? What if he really has this power.”

An old Daoist, with white hair giving an appearance of a sage, appeared completely unaffected by the various spiritual powers floating in the air, his face full of interest in Logan.

“Even if this kid has the ability to make this strike, I reckon it’s the very limit of his body. Later on, in the top three’s contention, I fear he’ll be at a disadvantage.”

As the Old Taoist spoke, people around him turned their heads in disbelief, looking at him.

Because his words were tantamount to confirming that Logan would definitely make it into the top-three competition.

But before the surrounding people could express their doubts about the Old Taoist’s words, that punch had already hit Huoyun E with an overwhelming force.

Huoyun E immediately brought forth his own magical treasures.

It was a small piece of shell from the Divine Beast Turtle, whose defensive capabilities were not to be underestimated.

The strike caused dust to billow on and off the stage, making it unclear what exactly the situation on stage was for a moment.

The great commotion also caught the attention of other contestants who were fighting, and while they carefully dealt with the attacks in front of them, they couldn’t help but yearn to watch Logan’s battle, momentarily stopping their own fights to see who had won. @@novelbin@@

As the dust settled, Logan stood his ground, gasping for breath, the fist he used for the attack slowly revealing bloodied knuckles.

On the other hand, Huoyun E’s Defense Sacred Artifact in front of him was cracking open inch by inch under the massive attack, and even he seemed to be injured, with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.

Beneath the feet of both men, the ground was cracked by the sheer force of their blows, but this did not dampen their eagerness to battle. After a brief respite, Logan leapt into the air once more.

He had never imagined that spending fifteen million spirit stones, the attack still hadn’t brought down Huoyun E.

However, it was clear that Huoyun E had run out of his last cards, and no matter what, he couldn’t withstand Logan’s next attack.

From the outside, Huoyun E didn’t seem to have sustained serious injuries, but no one knew that his internal organs were twisted and wrenched together in excruciating pain from the previous assault, no doubt bleeding.

Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine that a mere Saint Seat Second Level pushover could have so many aces up his sleeve.

Logan didn’t give him a chance to catch his breath, swiftly launching two punches, both amplified tenfold.

Huoyun E truly had no strength to resist, panting heavily.

But in his mind, he had another thought: even if he couldn’t make it into the top three, he absolutely couldn’t allow Logan to claim first place.

So, he moved, trying to dodge these two attacks and whittle down Logan’s strength as much as possible, even if only momentarily.

But just as he was about to move away, he discovered that the pressure on his body suddenly increased sharply, making it completely impossible for him to move.

It was Logan’s Gravity Amplification Formation!

The Elder of Huoyun E’s sect grew anxious, casting aside the rules of the competition and immediately raised a protection barrier, enveloping Huoyun E entirely within it.

As an Elder, his strength was unfathomable, and when Logan’s tenfold-amplified attack hit the protection barrier, no cracks appeared.
