A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 2286 Hell's Asura Formation

At the peak of Mount Kransbay, the Celestial Road reached the heavens. The ancient divine sword fell like an angel with broken wings. Then, it wedges between the vast earth. Broken walls and deep ravines could be seen everywhere. Everything seemed like the apocalypse.

No one could have believed that Mount Kransbay, a forbidden zone for life and a restricted area for humans, would become the battleground that determines the life and death of the entire world and the fate of all nations.

At the foot of the mountain, Ye Qingtian and the others stared intently at the scene before them. The Sword Saint and others were mind-controlled. Though gravely injured, they dragged their battered bodies and leaned against a massive rock, staring blankly at the battle unfolding before them.

It was as if life and death or victory and defeat had nothing to do with them at all. At the summit of the Celestial Road, two figures stood facing each other from a distance. Among them, one figure stood out, dressed in a blood-red robe with matching crimson hair. Their body was covered in bright red scales, reminiscent of a flame burning fiercely.

The terrifying power stood tall between the horizon as if it were the sun, glorious throughout the ages. That awe-inspiring power evoked a sense of terror and eeriness even when observed from afar. Ye Qingtian and the others were several thousand meters away from them, but the terrifying pressure emanating from Symborsus still made it somewhat difficult for them to breathe. They found it hard to believe just how much pressure Ye Fan was enduring as he stood before Symborsus. On the other side, Ye Fan wore a thin layer of clothing. His slender figure, though stained with blood, still stood there upright like a long spear standing tall.

Has the final moment finally arrived?

Ye Fan had mentally prepared himself well in advance for this battle. He initially thought that he would be both excited and nervous when facing a terrifyingly powerful being like Symborsus. When

the moment truly arrived, Ye Fan surprisingly found himself extraordinarily calm. Perhaps, it was just a matter of getting used to it. He was accustomed to battles of life or death and facing invincible enemies.

At these critical moments, Ye Fan always appeared to be more composed. He was calm and serene, and his heart was still. It was precisely this tranquility that allowed Ye Fan's mind to reach an unprecedented level of focus. At this moment, every cell in Ye Fan's body was dedicated to serving the upcoming battle. Ye Fan clearly felt the circulation of the Celestial Cloud reaching an unparalleled level of smoothness.

The surging elemental force was like a vast ocean, coursing and raging through Ye Fan's limbs and bones. That which was known as power howled within Ye Fan's body. Ye Fan's entire aura was like a raging fire, burning fiercely.

Meanwhile, it seemed Chu Qitian had finished accumulating energy. He spread his arms wide, and an infinite surge of power emanated from him, creating a crimson domain around him. From a distance, the sky behind him appeared to be almost blood-red. Simultaneously, the chants of Symborsus came to an end.

Suddenly, he stomped his foot, and countless runes came to life, gathering beneath the feet of Symborsus. Then, a massive formation quietly formed beneath Symborsus. The blood-red formation spun wildly beneath its feet.

The formation nearly stirred the boundless heaven and earth energy. A massive amount of elemental force was converging there. It was like the wheel of life and death. In the grand scheme of things, everything would be crushed, destroyed. The cycle would repeat endlessly.

“T-This...”

“What kind of martial arts is this?”

“How could it nearly crush the void?” At the foot of Mount Kransbay, Ye Qingtian and the others were utterly astonished. They had dedicated themselves to martial arts for all their life, and this was the first time they witnessed such a terrifying martial technique. Not only could it devour elemental force from heaven and earth, but even the formation could shatter the wheel.

The turbulence in the black space would vaguely be seen constantly dissipating.

“That truly is a self-powered formation.”

“D*mn that Symborsus! Even though most of his power is still sealed, he can still use such a terrifying formation!”

“This extraterrestrial creature is way too overpowered!” In the territory of Jiangdong, Grand Old Lady Chu could not help but tremble and exclaimed in astonishment upon witnessing this scene. Tang Yun, who was standing nearby, shuddered and anxiously asked, “Old Madam Chu, what's a self-powered formation?”

“The self-powered formation refers to the ability of an individual to generate a formation during combat. By harnessing this formation, they can manipulate the surrounding forces of nature for their own purposes. With that, one can unleash a power far beyond their own realm. It's almost as if Ye Fan is fighting against the entire world,” Grand Old Lady Chu explained solemnly.

The more Tang Yun listened, the more her heart quivered. Human strength would eventually reach its limit. This was because the so-called Internal Energy and elemental force would be released through the elixir field during battle.

Elemental force from the outside world could not be directly utilized by oneself. Instead, it required cultivation techniques to absorb, condense, refine, and ultimately store in the elixir field. However, since the energy stored in the elixir field was limited, everyone would inevitably meet their limit.

Now, Symborsus had taken advantage of this formation, directly manipulating heaven and earth energy for its own use.

“Does this mean his power has no upper limit?” Tang Yun was completely stupefied. The terror of Symborsus was beyond her imagination. The battle had not yet begun, but Tang Yun was already feeling despair.

The chances of victory were too slim. Grand Old Lady Chu nodded in agreement.

“Logically speaking, that's true. He manipulates heaven and earth energy for his own use, so his strength indeed has no upper limit. However, the elemental forces of heaven and earth on Earth are scarce. Even if he could manipulate the elemental forces of the entire world, there would still be a limit.”

“In short, although Ye Fan's chances of winning are slim, it's not entirely impossible. Now, all we can do is pray. Pray for Ye Fan to once again bring us delightful surprises,” Grand Old Lady Chu spoke deeply. In that deep tone, there was an unprecedented heaviness. Ever since she was young, Grand Old Lady Chu had always heard about the hardships and struggles faced by her family's ancestor, Chu Yunyang, when he founded the Chu family business.

While listening to the story, she did not feel anything special about it. After witnessing the formidable power of Symborsus, Grand Old Lady Chu finally understood just how difficult it must have been for her ancestor Chu Yunyang when he was paving the way and weaving his blueprints back in the day.

The power Symborsus has revealed so far was merely the tip of the iceberg of his full strength. In this era, he had become an insurmountable force that billions of people around the world could not surpass. Grand Old Lady Chu found it hard to believe how on earth did her ancestor Chu Yunyang manage to defeat Symborsus at his peak and seal him away all by himself back in the day.

The past could no longer be recalled. Now, even Grand Old Lady Chu did not know how Ye Fan would deal with this crisis. Whoosh... Winds howled at the summit of Mount Kransbay. A massive amount of heaven and earth energy was drawn and gathered by the formation beneath Chu Qitian's feet. Chu Qitian stood tall on the peak, laughing arrogantly.

“Hahaha... Chu Tianfan, what do you think of my Hell's Asura Formation?” The roaring torrent resounded like thunder rolling by. Chu Qitian, with one hand holding up the heavens and the other against the ground. Like the Lord of Hell, the human world lay behind, and hell lay ahead; one side led to life, while the other led to death. There, he stood at the gates of hell, controlling the cycle of life and death.

“Back then, I and your ancestor, Chu Yunyang, stood at the pinnacle of the Ninth Heaven. We fought fiercely for seven days and nights. In the end, I was just one move short of victory, and I lost to your ancestor. A single misstep led to my eternal regret.”

“After that, I was sealed for a thousand years by that d*mned Chu Yunyang. A thousand years! A thousand years of solitude, a thousand years of waiting... I, Symborsus, was like a lost soul, trapped between the depths of hell. I never saw the light of day.”

“Yet, I could not accept defeat. I, Symborsus, am one of the noblest races among the countless species in the universe. We were born as kings. How could we be imprisoned by you weak and despicable humans? For the past thousand years, I've been constantly thinking about revenge and reincarnation. Finally, after being imprisoned for eight hundred and ninety-six years, I have cultivated the supreme formation and created Hell's Asura Formation!”Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
