"Now! I no longer owe anything to Huangdi, nor can I repay him anything, after all, I can't find a dead person to settle the debt!" Chatty remained as distracted as ever. However, the increasingly serious expression on his face told Zheng Yifan that he was about to make a real move.
It was just a simple feeling, and then he truly gripped the Big Bone Bud with both hands and slammed it down fiercely.
It was a heavy strike, the hammer's force infused with immense Vital Energy, showcasing a powerful application of it. Zheng Yifan could hardly keep up with Chatty's mastery of Vital Energy.
"Zhi! Take this!" Chatty seemed to have found his rhythm, which signified the end for Zheng Yifan.
The ferocious attack needed no explanation; it struck before Zheng Yifan could even react.
"Clang!" Zheng Yifan's Silver Spear collided violently with the Big Bone Bud. Although the force unleashed by Zheng Yifan's Silver Spear was tremendous, he realized that the power was completely repelled back by the Big Bone Bud, while all other forces dissipated.
It was a complete technical suppression; no matter what Zheng Yifan did, he could not overcome Chatty, who had studied for countless years.
He could only rely on unconventional tactics, turning the battle into a complete evasion.
He absolutely could not confront it head-on. The nearly one-meter-wide Big Bone Bud swung through the air, making it impossible to withstand.
He could only retreat.
Yet there wasn't much space behind him; there was the river, and he didn't want to face the terrifying beasts lurking below. Zheng Yifan knew he would never be able to defeat those monsters.
"Watch out!" Zheng Yifan shouted in imitation of Chatty, as flames erupted once more from his Silver Spear.
"I've taught you this! That move is useless!" Chatty shouted loudly as he swung the Big Bone Bud down.
"Let's see!" Zheng Yifan continued with the Wildfire Spreading technique. Flames erupted, and massive explosions filled the air. The visual effects were stunning; the incredible flames accompanied by loud explosions caused the ground to tremble continuously. The intensity was one hundred percent strong, but the actual lethality was minimal.
"Zhi! You have truly regressed; your attacks aren't reaching the enemy, which means there will be no damage, and you're just wasting your Superpower!" Chatty continued to guide Zheng Yifan.
However, the Big Bone Bud in his hand did not stop; he was already charging forward. He burst through the thick smoke and the dazzling fireworks! Then he witnessed an astonishing scene.
Before him, there was no sign of Zheng Yifan, only a beam of light filled with a terrifying aura.
Next came countless streams of energy resembling missiles.
The power left Chatty utterly perplexed. Yet, he still attempted to counter it in his usual way.
He dispersed the Superpower's strength, using the amount of Superpower to drive the emitted Vital Energy.
But he was destined to be disappointed; Zheng Yifan had long anticipated this move. How could he let him counter it? Those missile-like energies, though not physical, truly invaded Chatty like real missiles.
The guidance of Vital Energy completely lost its effect; this was an attack method with self-awareness or self-restraint.
The two Vitality Eras were entirely different. The First Vitality Era lacked its own civilization; they only possessed combat methods, and their thoughts had never expanded. For an entire era, they had hidden within the Vitality Tower, silently licking their wounds.
The Second Vitality Era developed within its own civilization.
Just like Zheng Yifan's Superpower Application, he could never forget the attacks of firearms from the Post-Apocalypse. He could not forget the power of guns.
Subtly, Zheng Yifan had already adopted the attack methods of firearms. For instance, the Adamantium Shield had completely transformed into a firearm unique to Zheng Yifan.
However, the driving method still relied on Vital Energy and utilized Superpower.
The powerful missile darted through the air as if it had eyes, yet it never collided with anything, its trajectory unwavering. The force followed a predetermined path to attack.
This was Zheng Yifan's understanding of firearms, now fully infused into the new Adamantium Shield. The shield manifested in the form that Zheng Yifan envisioned as the most formidable. The explosion from the missile seemed insignificant at first glance, but its true lethality was something they had never witnessed.
It was incredibly powerful; Chatty felt it firsthand. The impact of the missile combined with its destructive force left him struggling to cope. However, the real terror lay ahead—one missile might not pack much energy, but what about a hundred? The simultaneous explosion would be utterly terrifying.
Inside, an unknown substance guided the targeting system with precision, allowing hundreds of missiles to strike a single location in succession.
"What is this thing?" Chatty frantically waved his Big Bone Bud, no longer acting overconfident. He needed to reassess the attack patterns of this device and understand his own limits.
It would be embarrassing to be taken out without reason.
The missile before him undoubtedly possessed such power.
"This is just a little toy! The real surprise is yet to come!" Zheng Yifan reappeared in front of Chatty.
However, this time his appearance had completely changed. The Adamantium Shield seemed embedded in the Silver Spear. The shape of the shield had transformed, perfectly aligning with the Silver Spear.
The spearhead was beyond description, resembling a massive crescent blade, yet it retained its diamond shape.
The most terrifying aspect was the surge of Power of Faith and Superpower emanating from the Silver Spear.
This was Zheng Yifan's true strength; he had fully unleashed the Power of Faith. At this moment, he couldn't summon even an Avatar of the Believers or mobilize any Vital Energy.
Yet now he was at his strongest, channeling all his power into his weapon. It was time for him to wield it—pure strength. If it weren't for the infusion of the Golden Character Card, he wouldn't have been able to achieve this; no amount of practice over a year could have brought him to this point.
But now he could, for he had merged with the Golden Character Card. The power that card brought was enough for Zheng Yifan to possess immense strength, and most importantly, the Shooting Skill within him had truly integrated into his being.
Chatty had yet to shake off the assault of the Missile when Zheng Yifan erupted once more. His outburst was purely personal strength, lacking any terrifying superpower, much like the ordinary attacks displayed by Chatty. Yet, this was already formidable. The Silver Spear in Zheng Yifan's hand had become a true weapon of mass destruction.
In a moment of critical urgency, Zheng Yifan's attack had arrived.
"Boom!" The ground shook as Chatty's massive Big Bone Bud collided with the Silver Spear. It was no longer about evasion; it was a clash of real tools. Only powerful strength and fierce attacks remained. The Adamantium Shield on Zheng Yifan's Silver Spear radiated an overwhelming aura, gradually pushing the Big Bone Bud aside. Tiny sparks of Vital Energy continued to gather; this was the inherent power of the Silver Spear, the countless years of spiritual energy accumulated in In Calamity were fully channeled, attracting Vitality Emergence.
In Calamity did not exist in this world; it was merely a character from a television drama. Yet its historical background spanned millions of years—perhaps even over a billion years—dating back to when the entire world first began. The Gatekeeper of the Pangu Clan was undoubtedly a figure of immense flair and charisma, and now his weapon truly showcased its formidable power.
With the fusion with the Adamantium Shield and the blessing of the Power of Faith, the force erupted—not as an attacking power but as an attracting force, drawing Vital Energy into the Silver Spear and into the Adamantium Shield.
These Vital Energies filled the weapon and then burst forth in a dazzling display.
"Kill!" Zheng Yifan held the Silver Spear firmly, knowing it was time to strike—not by his own will but by the necessity of the Silver Spear and the Adamantium Shield.
The Vital Energy contained within the weapon had reached its limit; there was no choice but for Zheng Yifan to unleash it.
A powerful force emerged—a massive surge of Vital Energy erupted all at once.
It was like a shell pressed within a cannon suddenly firing out; Zheng Yifan could hardly anticipate such overwhelming power.
The fierce blast occurred in an instant, his body gliding along with it as white light surged forward with intense killing intent toward Chatty.
With tremendous lethality, the Vitality Cannon collided with Chatty's Big Bone Bud, resulting in a push that extended nearly a hundred meters, delivering full force upon Chatty.
He did not resist head-on; instead, Big Bone Bud blocked the attack of the Vitality Cannon, and his body was almost half-floating in the air, with his feet lightly touching the ground.
In just over a second, Chatty's body had vanished, the force having pushed Chatty somewhere unknown.
The ground was marked by a pit half a meter deep and over a hundred meters long, with streams of water being drawn in from above.
Zheng Yifan did not expect such a powerful explosion this time. However, this still could not be considered a true life-and-death struggle, as Chatty had been holding back all along. Only in this final moment did he reveal his true abilities. If Zheng Yifan's estimation was correct, Chatty had yet to use his Superpower.
Meanwhile, Zheng Yifan had already exerted nearly all his strength, except for his last resort to save his life.
"Roar!" The Frozen Surface of the river suddenly began to surge violently. For some unknown reason, their ferocity was triggered, and the overwhelming aggression left Zheng Yifan trembling with fear. The river seemed to boil like hot oil; Zheng Yifan had never realized that a river could be so terrifying, so fearsome, capable of upheaval?
That was how the river was now. The powerful Vital Energy attack caused all the creatures to go berserk, unleashing their maximum destructive power.
A giant fish over ten meters long suddenly leaped out of the river, fiercely thrashing its body and exuding an aura of terror.
Just as it flaunted its might, a shadow flashed by so quickly that Zheng Yifan barely registered what it was before the giant fish vanished or became breakfast for another river creature.
Slaughter unfolded within the depths of the river. (To be continued...)
