Chapter 49: Victory
Old Bull speed was swift, wielding a massive sword with an immense force as he charged toward Roy.
Roy extended both hands forward, locking onto Old Bull with his divine consciousness.
"Shinra Tensei!"
"Boom!"
In the next moment, an invisible repulsive force clashed with the giant sword swung by Old Bull, resulting in a tremendous explosion.
The space between Roy and Old Bull was rippled with spatial folds generated by the collision of their techniques.
"Attack!"
Old Bull erupted with a powerful roar as the profound essence on his giant sword resisted Roy's Shinra Tensei repulsive force.
"This 'Old Bull'..."
Roy was equally surprised.
This was the first time his Shinra Tensei had been resisted and failed to send the opponent flying.
"Shatter!"
"Boom!"
Amidst the colossal roar, Old Bull's giant sword shattered Roy's repulsive force, carrying a terrifying fluctuation as it surged towards Roy.
"Profound Laws of Strength, Earth's Pulsating Laws, Earthwalking Technique Laws, Gravity-Space Laws, and even a hint of Earth Element Laws..."
From Old Bull's move "Shatter," Roy astonishingly sensed five types of profound laws. Evidently, Old Bull had taken the first step towards understanding the laws of the earth.
"Boom!"
Faced with Old Bull's attack, stronger than an average Seven-Star Demon, Roy's figure flashed, escaping the lock-on range of Old Bull's attack.
Using the Earthwalking Technique as the core, he employed a speed-oriented secret technique—Spatial Contraction!
"King's Treasures!"
Dodging Old Bull's attack, Roy waved his hand, and behind him, the profound essence surged. Weapons emerged from golden ripples of profound laws, turning into golden lights and bombarding Old Bull.
"Boom boom boom boom boom..."
Weapons condensed from profound laws carried unmatched power, slicing through space and bombarding Old Bull relentlessly.
"Shatter!"
"Boom boom boom!"
Old Bull's attack was even stronger than the Grim Reaper's, capable of severing at least two or three of the weapons Roy had unleashed.
However, Roy's assault didn't stop there.
"Heaven's Lock!"
Golden chains emerged from the sky, earth, and void, entwining "Old Bull" Giant Sword.
Under the assault of hundreds of weapons, Old Bull couldn't afford to care about the entanglement of the Heaven's Lock.
However, as an Eighty-Two-Consecutive-Wins expert, Old Bull's capabilities were evidently not limited to this.
"Roar!"
Old Bull let out a furious roar as his entire body suddenly expanded. His horned head appeared even more majestic, emitting a yellow light throughout his body.
"Innate Skill: Indestructible Diamond Body!"
"Ding ding ding ding ding..."
With the increase in body size, the area under attack naturally expanded.
But what surprised Roy was that the weapons unleashed by the "King's Treasures" couldn't penetrate Old Bull's glowing body.
This Old Bull was actually a divine beast.
Moreover, judging from the effect of the innate skill, it was a formidable talent that enhanced material defense.
Thankfully, Roy's "Lock of the Heavens" had completely bound all of Old Bull limbs's and neck, securing Old Bull entirely within the void.
"Damn it!" Old Bull was furious. He hadn't expected Roy, also a master of the Earth's laws, to not engage him in a peak battle of strength, but instead use these flashy attacks against him.
What made Old Bull even angrier was that he was actually entangled by these tricks.
"Roar!" Old Bull bellowed. His innate ability still active, not only enhanced his defense but also significantly boosted his strength.
At that moment, Old Bull's arms and legs bulged with power as he forcefully pulled his limbs back.
"Bang, bang..." Under Old Bull's force, the chains that bound him began to crumble bit by bit.
However, as he struggled to break free from the chains, Roy had already prepared his next move.
A small black sphere suddenly appeared above Old Bull, and in the next instant, an infinite gravitational force sucked Old Bull in. Then, countless earth elements solidified into concrete and massive stones, covering the small black sphere and completely sealing Old Bull within it.
"Chibaku Tensei!" Roy's strongest move, multiplying the power of his four laws threefold.
Watching the massive star in the sky, both the challengers and spectators were shocked. They were witnessing the battle against Old Bull, the undefeated eighty-second champion.
Just after a few moves?
He was sealed?
Feeling Old Bull's resistance inside the Earth Bursting Celestial Star weakening, Roy dissipated the laws' power within it.
"Boom!" A powerful force exploded from within the star, shattering it into pieces.
Old Bull, having escaped from the star, looked somewhat disheveled. Upon seeing Roy, he let out a cold snort.
"You're impressive, you're strong. I concede," Old Bull admitted despite his disdain for Roy's methods.
He was straightforward, not foolish.
When sealed within the Chibaku Tensei, Old Bull clearly felt a force draining his soul and divine power. Under this force's effect, the duration of his innate ability became extremely brief.
Fortunately, after the innate ability ended, the force vanished, allowing Old Bull to easily break free from the star. Otherwise, under that force, his soul would have withered away within a century.
This showed the star's power far exceeded his.
If he couldn't escape that last move, death would have been the only outcome.
"You're not weak either," Roy smiled. "Your 'Explosion' already contains some traces of the Asura's foundation. As long as you continue to delve deeper, perhaps in the future, you might challenge me again."
Indeed, Old Bull's "Explosion" had already begun to integrate the fifth law of arcane mysteries. Perhaps within a million years, Old Bull could integrate it to its bottleneck. Then, with just one opportunity, Old Bull could fully merge it, becoming a powerhouse on par with the Asura Palace's leader level.
Of course, this opportunity might be something Old Bull would never encounter in his lifetime. Nevertheless, even so, a Old Bull a million years later would be among the most elite among the Seven-Star Demons.
"Haha, naturally!" Hearing the star praise his techniques, Old Bull stood proudly, hands on hips.
However, soon after, Old Bull came to a realization.
The star mentioned if he continued to delve deeper, perhaps he could challenge him in the future?
What did it mean to delve deeper? He was already starting to integrate the fifth law of arcane mysteries into his Explosion.
Going further than that... well, that was...
Thinking about it, Old Bull snorted coldly but said nothing about when he might come to challenge again before leaping down from the arena.
