Invincibility Begins with Mastery of Fist Techniques-Chapter 161 - 155: Enormous

"Have I finally met a descendant of Donghua?"

Seeing Zhou Yuanjue, a joyful smile appeared on Zhang Dongwei's face.

Along the way, he had encountered at least three Saint Awakenings, all of whom were from Exotic Realms.

To find so many powerful individuals from Exotic Realms on Donghua's own soil... it had almost made him believe that Donghua had fallen, becoming a nation ruled by foreigners.

But now, he had finally seen someone from Donghua, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Although a millennium had passed and he could no longer be considered human after taking the Elixir of Immortality, some things were branded deep within his soul.

That was the core of what allowed a nation to pass down its heritage for millennia—the ever-burning flame of the Martial Dao.

He was born in Donghua, nurtured by this land and nation. The brilliant civilization of this land was what had made him. The last thing he wanted was to awaken only to see the descendants of the civilization he was once so proud of become groveling servants at the feet of others.

"You are...?!"

But upon getting a clear look at Zhang Dongwei's face, Zhou Yuanjue's pupils constricted violently.

He was a fan of history and loved the Martial Dao, so he was no stranger to the legendary figures of the Donghua Martial Arts Realm whose names had been passed down for a thousand years.

And Zhang Dongwei, as a titan of the Martial Arts Realm, held an extremely high status in the history of Donghua Martial Arts. His heaven-sent talent allowed him to merge the schools of the Daoist Family, Alchemy Dao, and other martial arts, laying a vast foundation for Fist Techniques in the Martial Dao that was remembered by all posterity.

In the past, Zhou Yuanjue had held great reverence for such a pioneer and had seen portraits of Zhang Dongwei in historical records.

The man before him was not a perfect match to the portraits in terms of appearance, but there was at least a seventy to eighty percent resemblance. This was especially true of his unique aura—a fierceness hidden within gentleness, as if he had comprehended Yin and Yang to their absolute peak.

Considering the nature of the Kunlun Mountain Immortal Realm, the appearance of a renowned master from a millennium ago was surprising, but not entirely unimaginable.

"Master Tongwei, Zhang Dongwei?!"

Zhou Yuanjue took a deep breath and asked in a low voice.

"You recognize me? It seems I am not unknown to later generations and have left some mark."

Hearing Zhou Yuanjue's words, Zhang Dongwei seemed a bit surprised, then sighed with some emotion.

Seeing the burly old man before him admit it himself, Zhou Yuanjue's gaze gradually hardened, and a very complex emotion welled up inside him.

It felt as if some form of admiration and worship he once held had just shattered.

"Unknown? No, how could a titan of the Donghua Martial Arts Realm possibly be unknown? Is there any martial artist in Donghua who hasn't heard of your deeds and legends?"

"It's just that no one would have ever imagined that the titan in their eyes would also be unable to see past life and death, willing to take the Elixir of Immortality and transform into this state that is neither human nor ghost."

Zhou Yuanjue's expression was perfectly calm. He quietly lit the lamp in his heart, sparks kindling within his hundred apertures. His Life Magnetic Field slowly condensed, and his entire body began to emit a dense, jade-colored light as he entered a combat state.

Although he didn't know why Zhang Dongwei hadn't lost his sanity like the other Ancient Cultivators and still retained a human appearance, the fact that he had transformed into a Celestial Demon was undeniable. Moreover, he had just killed a Saint Awakening, making it difficult to believe he bore no ill will.

"A titan, you say?"

Zhang Dongwei shook his head with a faint smile. Fame and fortune meant nothing to him. What did catch his attention, however, was the subtle hint of mockery in Zhou Yuanjue's words.

"You seem to hold us ancients in contempt for consuming the Elixir of Immortality?"

Zhang Dongwei asked.

"Of course. Our generation scorns kings and nobles, entering the Dao through martial arts to contend with heaven itself. With finite bodies, we challenge infinite peaks. Life and death can only be trampled beneath our feet. As the saying goes, 'If I learn the Dao in the morning, I can die content in the evening.' How could we, for the sake of long life, associate with those Alien abominations and surrender to the desire to escape death?"

Zhou Yuanjue said, as if it were a matter of course.

Hearing Zhou Yuanjue's words, Zhang Dongwei's eyes narrowed slightly. He spoke, "Do you truly believe that?"

Zhou Yuanjue didn't speak, but his unwavering gaze said it all.

"Fearless in the face of death, contending with heaven itself... this is the soul of the Donghua Martial Dao! A millennium has passed, yet the flame of the Martial Dao still burns bright. How fortunate, how truly fortunate!"

Zhang Dongwei fell silent, then threw his head back and laughed. His laughter was unrestrained, and the magnetic field around him vibrated the very space, creating a deafening roar.

Suddenly, he snapped his head down. His soul-body erupted with a dazzling light, and his eyes, in particular, shone with a terrifying brilliance.

"Then let me see what kind of skill the martial artists of Donghua possess after a thousand years!"

BOOM!!

A terrifying Life Magnetic Field erupted from his soul-body, pressing down on Zhou Yuanjue with insane force.

At that moment, Zhou Yuanjue felt the air around him instantly turn stagnant.

Guided by the intense fluctuations of the magnetic field, the air was compressed, the temperature rose, and even the gravity affecting his body seemed to be influenced.

If Tu Junshan's Life Magnetic Field was as heavy as a high mountain, then the magnetic field from Zhang Dongwei was like an entire continent.

The two of them were not on the same level at all.

Zhou Yuanjue could feel that Zhang Dongwei had reached the absolute peak of Saint Awakening.

With his current strength, when he resonated with the surrounding Natural Magnetic Field, he had to carefully control the degree of that resonance. Otherwise, his Life Magnetic Field would be destroyed by the Natural Magnetic Field, and his body, unable to withstand that power, would be completely vaporized between heaven and earth.

He could feel that the degree of resonance with the Natural Magnetic Field that he could withstand was, in reality, only about twenty to thirty percent.

But even so, the attacks he could unleash were already terrifying, capable of evaporating a downpour and causing the rain to cease falling over a patch of land.

However, Zhang Dongwei, on the other hand, seemed to have no such limitations. His degree of resonance with the surrounding Natural Magnetic Field was at least seventy to eighty percent. With a casual wave, he could mobilize the power of the Natural Magnetic Field to form a terrifying attack.

Within the range of his Life Magnetic Field, he was like the Sovereign of some natural magnetic property, impossible to defeat.

Under the immense pressure, his muscles began to spasm. The force was so great it even tried to influence his Life Magnetic Field, seeking to control his body and force him to his knees.

"Prove it to me. If you can't even walk over to me, what right do you have to mock my choice?"

Zhang Dongwei stood his ground, unmoving. He made no move to attack, simply watching quietly as Zhou Yuanjue trembled slightly under the pressure of his magnetic field.
