Chapter 364: I Am A Galaxy...
The entire world went silent as Quinn looked at the man before him, a dazed expression on his face before smiling incredibly brightly.
“10 moves, huh…” He mused and in the next seconds, space exploded around him like it was nothing more than mere shards of glasses as Quinn tore through the space instantly in front of Atherston, his hands enveloped in hundreds of runic blue lines, smashing forward with speed towards his face.
Space was violently blown apart crumbling beneath the might of those simple punches whose entire weight had been amplified by more than hundreds of times due to runic lines.
Yet, a blank look was all that remained on Atherston’s face as he slowly raised his palm to his face.
DUUUM
The expected space-shattering explosion didn’t happen as the punch landed with the palm, but it didn’t even shake Atherston at all as a ripple formed at the center of collision undulating outwards in a wave.
BAAAAAANG
Suddenly the air beneath Atherston’s feet shook massively as if a gigantic object had been placed on it, and instantly it exploded into shards of space forming a gigantic hole of abyssal darkness beneath his feet.And immediately Quinn’s jaws dropped to the ground as the undrestanding of the exchange that just happened right now was finally comprehended by him.
When he had hit Atherston’s palm it was like punching at foam. All the energy and force he suddenly gathered in his body immediately disappeared with a puff. It had made him wonder where they had suddenly all gone but immediately understood on sighting the ground beneath Atherston’s feet shattering to pieces.
The man had absorbed all the pressure beneath his feet and let it out beneath his feet instead…
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, You’re only young, Quinn. Only young…” Atherston said with pity before suddenly his left hand slapped forward towards Quinn’s chest.
The movement to Quinn was incredibly slow, yet he could feel his own ribs getting instantly crushed to paste before the palm strike even neared him at all, it was like the spatial force at the path of the palms was being pushed forward as ripples appeared midair all swarming towards Quinn’s chest and the it finally connected.
KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Immediately, Quinn’s body was blasted backward like a kite without string as his body immediately blew up in massive flames from the horrifying friction. White lines enveloped the entire area as blood oozed out of Quinn’s mouth like a fountain, but he immediately bent the spatial law around him causing it to constrict and solidify and his back smashed into it finally stopping his backward motion.
Looking around him, pure shock appeared all over Quinn’s face as he discovered the entire skyscrapers could no longer be seen. Right now, they were in a desolate area of the world, with nothing but crumbled rocks and gigantic mountains all around.
“Impossible…” Quinn mused in shock as he looked around the place. With a single move, he had been blasted completely beyond the territory of the EIA and now arrived in a desolate part of the training base.
Suddenly, about fifty meters away from him, space rippled like water and a figure exited out of the space slowly folding his sleeves as if preparing for a good fight.
“Hasn’t it always been your dream, Quinn?”
Atherston said as he began walking towards him, unhurriedly.
“To one day fight me, isn’t that what you had always wanted? You have trained so hard, reaching the Late Cosmic Rank Stage. You know, right now, you’re the first 18-year-old to break through the Late Cosmic Rank stage since the beginning of Earth’s history…” Atherston said almost as if praising him but one couldn’t see any pride in his eyes.
“My defeat must have been your motivation to continue throughout the hardships. And today, you’re finally faced with the moment. That moment that you have been preparing for almost 10 years. You’re finally faced with it. How does it feel…”
STEP
STEP
STEP
“I doubt anything can compare. But are sure you have made enough preparation. Are you prepared to defeat me, A Galaxy Rank Stage Cultivator? Are you Quinn…” Atherston asked and immediately he quickened his step from a simple jog and it immediately erupted into a full run and then he disappeared appearing instantly in front of him, both their eyes looking into each other…
“I am…” Quinn replied as he immediately got into a stance both hands jerking backward preparing to tear forward thousands of times without fail.
“You’re not Quinn…” Atherston replied as he also got into a battle stance.
“Or should I say, you have not even a mote of idea, the true meaning of a galaxy…”
BAAANG
BAAAANG
BAAANG
BOOOOOM
BOOOOOM
BOOOOOM
A Thousand Phantoms of Fists and Palms!
Standing on their feet without moving a single inch backward, was the true definition of a true all-out battle as hundreds of punches rippled outwards with horrifying speed, and faced with hundreds of equal palm strikes…
It was the first time he had gone this hard. It was the first time he had punched so fast, so much his entire brain was painted with only one thing, to punch as fast as it could and all his body was naturally attuned to that processing in his brain.
Yet the feeling of emptiness also assaulted him as the entire force beneath his palms immediately faded away like they didn’t even exist at all. A feeling that equates to punching at nothing but foam…
A maniac smile infused with slight mockery could be seen on Atherston’s face as he blocked every single strike with not a single change in his expression. Judging from Quinn’s unique ability, he could sense the man wasn’t even a bit serious at all. His blood flow, his heartbeat, his pulse, they were all at the absolute normal level. It was like this level of exchange was the most basic of physical exertion that the man before him was capable of.
“Is that all, you can do, Quinn? Is that all you’re your unending training all amounts to? ” Atherston asked within the exchange as a gigantic red vein appeared all over Quinn’s head and he roared out angrily, the tattoo on his hands brightening up even more as his speed of punching increased yet the same expression was still on Atherston’s face whose palm strikes also increased at the same time.
BAAAANG
BAAAANG
BAAAAANG
BAAAAANG
BAAAAANG
GRAB
GRAB
Suddenly Quinn who was punching out with all his strength suddenly had both arms grabbed by Atherston who suddenly dragged him closer towards his face their eyes staring straight at each other.
“I am a galaxy, Quinn; can you destroy me with a simple punch?”
