Cosmic Trading System-Chapter 707 666: Unwilling to Believe
"Boom——"
Amid the discussion of the crowd, the artifact that Ironwood Ancestor launched had already reached Xiao Chong's side, colliding with the layers of Domain Power around him, creating a long explosive noise through the layers of penetration.
"Huh?"
Xiao Chong's pupils slightly narrowed, and at the same time, he reached out a hand to grasp the artifact.
He knew the artifact that the Ironwood Ancestor launched wasn't ordinary, but his mode of invoking Domain Power was also unusual. The fact that this artifact could penetrate so quickly was a bit beyond his expectation.
Nevertheless, he never intended to withstand this artifact solely with Domain Power, hence he immediately made his move.
As he made his move, a black gauntlet appeared on his palm, radiating a dark luster and emitting a strong aura, revealing its extraordinary nature.
This gauntlet artifact was something he had exchanged for when he went to Immortal Origin Holy Land, from another Half Step Super Warrior. He had paid a considerable price at the time, so naturally, this black gauntlet wasn't ordinary.
Xiao Chong had learned a set of palm claw techniques specifically for this gauntlet artifact during his thousands of years of seclusion.
"Bang——"
The next moment, this gauntlet clashed with the meteor-like glowing artifact, emitting a powerful shockwave at the point of intersection.
The glow on the black gauntlet faded, but Xiao Chong merely retreated slightly and was otherwise unharmed.
"Such powerful impact," Xiao Chong murmured in surprise as he retreated.
He could feel that if he had faced this attack in his earlier state, he would have been seriously injured, even if not severely.
In those times, he was quite formidable himself, able to fight three average Half Step Super Warriors without losing, but from this, one could see how immensely powerful this artifact was.
What suddenly came to mind was how Ironwood Ancestor seemed to have planned on hitting either Lianshan or Huayang with this artifact, which made him secretly alarmed.
Although Lianshan and Huayang were strong when combined, ultimately, they were two individuals. If one of them got hit by this artifact, it could easily be fatal, if not leaving them entirely incapacitated.
If he were still at his former strength, then if either Lianshan or Huayang lost their power or life, he and the survivor might not necessarily be a match for Ironwood Ancestor.
"This Ironwood Ancestor has such a formidable artifact after all. No wonder he made such a big name for himself. I must not underestimate him..." Xiao Chong mentally noted.
Thinking this, he looked at the artifact. As it revealed its true form after the collision with his gauntlet, it appeared to be a rather small white disk, which, having not achieved its goal in the first hit, was now being called back by Ironwood Ancestor.
"What?"
Unknown to Xiao Chong, Ironwood Ancestor, on the other side, was also slightly surprised at seeing him block his artifact's attack.
Ironwood Ancestor was well aware of the power of his artifact. It was terrific when dealing with normal Half Step Super Warriors, but to use it against powerful Half Step Super Warriors like Xiao Chong was a bit of a stretch. He hadn't planned for this artifact to kill or suppress Xiao Chong with one hit.
However, he was utterly unprepared for Xiao Chong to block the artifact's attack so easily.
"Could it be because of that gauntlet?"
The next moment, Ironwood Ancestor was staring at the black gauntlet and murmuring to himself.
He didn't believe that Xiao Chong could block his artifact's attack solely by his own strength.
So, there was only one explanation left.
From primitive civilization to the ninth-level civilization, from technology-based to enlightened civilization, weapons and equipment have always been crucial. A good weapon can even double a person's strength.
Take the example of the Bloodthirsty Demon, who was an average Half Step Super Warrior but became someone who could confront Super Warriors due to the acquisition of the Bloodthirsty Sword. His future prospects seemed limitless.
Of course, such defy-the-heavens artifacts like the Bloodthirsty Sword are extremely rare across the universe.
However, this incidence underscores the importance and power of weapons.
"Could it be that Xiao Chong provoked me just because he has this artifact? If that's the case, he's seriously underestimating me!" Ironwood Ancestor squinted his eyes, murmuring softly.
Whoosh——
At the same time, he had already reappeared next to Xiao Chong,
The artifact's previous attack hadn't succeeded, but he had been prepared for the next one.
Although reality didn't match his expectations, he quickly adjusted his mindset.
"Boom——Boom——"
Xiao Chong also rushed forward, and they quickly engaged in close combat.
Blow by blow, foot by foot, the dazzling display of their moves surprised all the spectators.
"Brother Xiao's power, has become so formidable?"
"How can Ironwood Ancestor's strength be so overwhelming?"
"Especially, the power of that artifact, luckily, we didn't make our moves, otherwise, we might have suffered a major loss without any preparation!"
Lianshan, Huayang, and Qing Luo, along with other Half Step Super Warriors watched this battle and exclaimed in surprise.
"Being in the same Half Step Super Realm, the gap in strength is enormous. I feel that if I faced Brother Xiao or Ironwood Ancestor, I would most likely be killed by them if I didn't escape immediately..." Meng Black gave a bitter smile and shook his head.
His strength might have been considerable among average Half Step Super Warriors.
But today, he realized the meaning of the 'gap'.
Compared to these top warriors in the Half Step Super Realm, he was far behind.
"How could this be? How could this be?"
As he exchanged more blows with Xiao Chong, Ironwood Ancestor was increasingly shocked, continuously murmuring in disbelief.
Wasn't Xiao Chong only capable of facing three ordinary Half Step Super Warriors?
How could he face him head-on, trading blows for such a long time?
Incorrect!
The power exhibited by Xiao Chong... even surpassed his (!)
How could this be?
The kind of power he possessed was achieved through a series of rare events and countless perils!
With the backing of his family's formation, he could even confront an ordinary Super Warrior for a short time. Even without the backing of his family's formation, it wouldn't be an easy task for a Super Warrior to kill him!
This kind of strength was rare among Half Step Super Warriors throughout the universe!
How could Xiao Chong, who was virtually unheard of, compare to him, let alone surpass him?
"Impossible! Impossible!"

Ironwood Ancestor's heart sank deeper and deeper, still unwilling to believe it.
Xiao Chong's strength turned out to be so formidable. With Xiao Chong stepping in for Lin Yun, the chances of him being able to take Lin Yun away were slim.
