Jiang Chen's own divine abilities indeed had no method to counter earth-type divine abilities. At least up to this point, Jiang Chen had no divine ability that could counter this Great Earth Flood.
However, that did not mean Jiang Chen was helpless.
He spread his arms wide, and ninety-nine Ice Fire Demon Lotuses instantly emerged from underground like spirited serpents, surrounding him completely.
Standing amid the hundred clusters, Jiang Chen's gaze was gentle.
In the world of the Ice Fire Demon Lotus, he was king.
Even the Great Earth Flood had negligible effect on him.
Because the Ice Fire Demon Lotuses possessed tremendous power of their own — no matter how hard the earth or mountain rock, they could bore through it. By the same token, when facing an earth-type divine ability, the restraining force the Ice Fire Demon Lotuses experienced was far less than what Jiang Chen himself endured.
"Rong Zifeng, you only have ten moves — you'd better count carefully."
Even in the heat of battle, Jiang Chen couldn't resist taunting Rong Zifeng.
Though Jiang Chen was somewhat surprised by the earth-type divine ability Rong Zifeng had cultivated, gravity constraints at this level were nowhere near an irreversible degree.
If a Saint Realm powerhouse had unleashed a gravity divine ability, Jiang Chen might genuinely have been pinned immobile.
But Rong Zifeng was clearly far from sufficient.
Hearing this, a cold smile crept to the corner of Rong Zifeng's mouth, and he shouted, "Jiang Chen, since you're so eager to die, I'll grant your wish!"
Suddenly, Rong Zifeng shook both arms, and they began swelling mid-air, transforming into a pair of colossal arms as thick as an elephant's legs. They measured a full five meters in length, with the girth of a large tree.
Those fists, radiating earthy yellow ripples, were each as large as a war drum.
Boom!
Rong Zifeng threw a devastating punch — not at Jiang Chen, but directly into the ground.
Crack!
The entire arena floor shuddered violently, as though mountains were collapsing and the earth was splitting apart.
Jiang Chen's body swayed slightly.
Then Rong Zifeng's other fist hurtled through the air, slamming down right in front of Jiang Chen in an instant.
The colossal fist bore down from above, churning up countless earthy yellow runes and carrying the overwhelming pressure of the Heavenly Origin Realm.
Seeing such terrifying fistwork from Rong Zifeng, Jiang Chen secretly tensed.
The geniuses of the Supreme Zone truly hadn't earned their reputations for nothing. Rong Zifeng's sixth-place ranking was no empty boast — his cultivation was the real deal.
As the enormous fist came crashing down, Jiang Chen wasn't idle either. He guided eighteen Ice Lotus vines to coil directly around the massive arm.
"Wind!"
With a flick of his hand seals, the eighteen Ice Lotus vines immediately wrapped around the giant arm.
Jiang Chen changed his hand seals again. "Freeze!"
The eighteen Ice Lotuses inhaled and exhaled countless glimmers of frost, hissing as they rapidly formed a layer of hard ice across the giant arm.
The combined binding and freezing managed to catch Rong Zifeng's punch head-on.
"Nice! One move!" Mu Gaoqi called out from below. Having witnessed Rong Zifeng's terrifying punch, he'd drawn a sharp breath in spite of himself.
If it had been him in the ring, that one punch would probably have turned him into paste.
Thankfully, Brother Chen was extraordinary — without even going all out, he'd blocked Rong Zifeng's punch and even countered in one smooth motion.
His punch deflected, and a powerful chill was actually trying to freeze his arm. Rong Zifeng let out a roar.
An earthy yellow glow suddenly enveloped his arm again. Boom!
The giant arm bulged even larger, veins writhing beneath the skin like water snakes, giving off an extremely menacing look.
One vigorous shake, and all the ice shards were blasted away, shattering with a clatter.
"Jiang Chen, take another punch!"
This time, Rong Zifeng swung his arm sideways in a sweeping blow that could flatten a thousand soldiers.
If the previous mountain-crushing blow was something the Ice Fire Demon Lotuses could catch mid-air, this sweeping assault was aimed directly at the lotuses' midsection.
Crack, crack, crack, crack.
A dozen or so vines were shattered by the sweeping force.
But Jiang Chen had clearly anticipated this. A Primordial Magnetic Storm surged forward, crashing into the giant arm.
Deflected by the Primordial Magnetic Storm, the giant fist felt as though it had struck a distorted pocket of space, suddenly lacking the force behind it.
"Haha! Second move — Brother Chen, keep it up!"
Below, Mu Gaoqi was both thrilled and exhilarated. He had completely lost himself in the moment, entirely ignoring Shen Qinghong's frown of displeasure.
Mu Gaoqi knew full well that coming to the Supreme Zone Cave had meant he was destined to be suppressed by Shen Qinghong. Now that they'd already torn off the mask, there was no reason to be cowering before Shen Qinghong anymore.
Though he had been cowardly and timid, the Mu Gaoqi of today was no longer the Mu Gaoqi of old. His state of mind had begun to transform.
Jiang Chen drove the Fire Lotuses forward. One by one, they blazed like fire dragons, spewing flames as they engulfed Rong Zifeng's entire giant arm and burned furiously.
Rong Zifeng let out a sinister laugh. "Jiang Chen, don't waste your energy. My Vajra Arms are impervious to both water and fire. If you think you can use the power of water and fire against them, you're dreaming!"
With that, Rong Zifeng swung both fists in rapid succession, raining them down on Jiang Chen in a frenzy.
Having missed Jiang Chen twice in a row, Rong Zifeng was thoroughly frustrated. His "Great Vajra Arm" technique was no simple two-move combo — it was a continuous assault martial art.
Once unleashed, it was like a Vajra's wrath that made the heavens tremble.
