The Strongest Gene Chapter 871 - Luo Yuan: I Win

Luo Yuan possessed all of Chen Feng’s abilities, including the Luck Aura. Consequently, none of Chen Feng’s skills could be effectively used against him. Luo Yuan had kept his Luck Aura in a defensive stance, aware that Chen Feng’s version was slightly more potent. Fortunately for Luo Yuan, Chen Feng wasn’t employing his Luck Aura in their combat. A frantic exchange unfolded, yet Chen Feng found himself consistently suppressed. This subjugation spanned godly power, abilities, and other aspects. Despite Chen Feng’s formidable strength, he was unable to unleash his full might against Luo Yuan.

“Damn it!” Chen Feng’s expression soured. A single miscalculation had led to the downfall of his entire strategy. The omission of the Nirvana Rebirth ability from his plans had plunged him into dire straits. Would this be his ultimate defeat?

Luo Yuan’s laughter boomed as he observed Chen Feng’s grimace. “Scared now?” His own actions remained unaffected by Chen Feng’s expression, maintaining peak vigilance and scrutinizing Chen Feng’s every move. He understood that an individual like Chen Feng would undoubtedly possess further hidden cards. Therefore, vigilance was paramount. If he could weather the onslaught of these trump cards, if he could conquer this battle, the world would undeniably fall under Luo Yuan’s control.

“Come!” Luo Yuan bellowed.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Relentless assaults, unyielding suppression, and constant pressure were Luo Yuan’s methods. His goal was to compel Chen Feng to reveal his trump cards, to force the use of his final move, after which all would be concluded. Conversely, Chen Feng could do little but endure with immense difficulty.

One day, two days, three days, ten days. The duration of their engagement vastly exceeded that of a typical conflict. Given their near-identical sets of abilities, Luo Yuan relied solely on his superior realm to overwhelm Chen Feng. Regrettably, this hierarchical advantage left Chen Feng with no apparent path to victory. However, the very similarity in their powers made it exceedingly challenging for Luo Yuan to inflict a fatal blow.

Their profound mutual understanding meant they were acutely aware of each other’s every potential attack and how to evade them. Luo Yuan commanded all godly powers, a feat mirrored by Chen Feng, who had acquired them while assuming the persona of the mysterious figure. This parity forced Luo Yuan to carefully consider his attack choices before executing them. He also had to anticipate Chen Feng’s counter-abilities for any given strike. Each time, he selected a technique that could be countered by only a select few methods or abilities. Simultaneously, he harbored a hope that Chen Feng would refrain from employing the most effective countermeasure.

Unfortunately for Luo Yuan, Chen Feng invariably chose the very ability or method Luo Yuan most fervently wished he wouldn't. Their battle had devolved into something akin to a high-stakes poker game. The instant Luo Yuan made a move, Chen Feng grasped his intent and immediately deployed the most suitable defensive measure.

Consequently, their combat was characterized by persistent frustration. The impact of each of Luo Yuan’s offensive maneuvers was minimized to the greatest extent possible by Chen Feng. Despite Luo Yuan’s all-encompassing suppression, the damage he inflicted upon Chen Feng remained negligible—even less than what he had managed to inflict on Xu Fei previously. Thus, while Chen Feng's defeat seemed inevitable, it would by no means be an easy one.

Luo Yuan let out a sneer. “It matters not. I have the patience to wait.” He had already endured years of waiting; what were a few more days? Bring it on!

Bang! Bang!

He resumed his offensive barrage. Time marched on. One day, two days, 10 days, 100 days...

Gradually, Chen Feng’s physical resilience began to wane. After all, he was merely a high-tier true god. Even with his ability to mitigate Luo Yuan’s attacks to their utmost, the cumulative damage sustained over countless days had reached a terrifying threshold. Finally, his complexion grew exceptionally grim, and his aura became exceedingly feeble.

Bang! Bang!

Luo Yuan persisted with his relentless assault. One day, two days, 10 days, 100 days...

Pu!

Chen Feng coughed up blood, the first such occurrence since their battle commenced. Luo Yuan rejoiced, recognizing that Chen Feng’s endurance was nearing its end. “Still refusing to deploy it? Still clinging to your trump card? Haha. Qin Hai and the others are already dead, yet you persist in hoarding your ultimate move? If you continue to conceal it, I fear you’ll lose the opportunity to use it entirely. Do you intend to simply be exhausted to death by me? Haha.”

Luo Yuan let out a peal of laughter, his formidable might erupting without any restraint. Chen Feng, his face ashen, gazed at Luo Yuan and let out a sigh. “So, it has finally come to this point…”

“Mhm?” A jolt went through Luo Yuan’s mind. There it was! He knew Chen Feng’s trump card was about to manifest. He had been anticipating this very moment for so many days. Once he weathered this final gambit, it would all be over. What could Chen Feng’s ultimate move be? Luo Yuan’s thoughts raced, sifting through myriad possibilities before settling on a single ability. He was certain this was Chen Feng’s ultimate trump card, his only conceivable ace. This was the most terrifying ability Chen Feng had possessed back then: God Punisher!

God Punisher was an ability that allowed the user to unleash every skill they had ever employed simultaneously. For abilities utilized more than once, the most potent iteration would be selected. This was Chen Feng’s supreme trump card. When he was still weak in the past, this ability hadn’t been so fearsome. But now...

This was likely the very reason Chen Feng had endured this arduous battle for several hundred days. Throughout this prolonged struggle, aside from self-defense, Chen Feng had ceaselessly deployed a multitude of abilities. Ultimately, he would most probably employ God Punisher to unleash them all at once. Individually, these abilities were indeed weak and unlikely to inflict significant harm upon Luo Yuan. However, when tens of thousands of abilities, each at the peak of high-tier true god power, were unleashed concurrently, it might prove capable of felling even a peak true god like himself. At this juncture, Chen Feng finally raised his hand, forming that now-familiar gesture.

“As I suspected…” Luo Yuan drew a deep breath. Let it come, the legendary God Punisher!

Shua! Shua! Shua!

Every ability Chen Feng possessed, along with every defensive capability Luo Yuan had at his disposal, materialized within Luo Yuan’s consciousness. Was Chen Feng’s ability potent? Undeniably. Alas, it had been telegraphed far too early.

Consequently, a considerable time ago, upon learning his adversary would be Chen Feng, Luo Yuan had meticulously prepared countermeasures for God Punisher. An ability perfectly suited for this exact scenario had been prepared. It was an exceptionally formidable defensive ability.

“Bring it on!” Luo Yuan bellowed.

At this moment, Chen Feng, his expression grave, pointed a finger at Luo Yuan. “Unleash.”

Bang!

God Punisher: released!

Everything unfolded precisely as Luo Yuan had anticipated. Chen Feng had unleashed God Punisher, its power matching his predictions exactly.

Bang!

He was enveloped by God Punisher’s onslaught. Pu!

He stood firm, absorbing the brunt of God Punisher with his own physique.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Blood sprayed outwards. Yet, Luo Yuan was instead roaring with laughter. He could distinctly feel the might of God Punisher, and he could also clearly sense its amplification with each subsequent impact. He understood that this ability would reach its zenith in the final, critical second. Luo Yuan’s body was locked in a relentless cycle of destruction and regeneration. He was forcefully enduring Chen Feng’s God Punisher, absorbing the near-incessant barrage, a terrifying power that seemed almost impossible to resist.

Even so, God Punisher continued to surge in potency. The velocity of its attacks also escalated. Faster… and faster! What had initially been a slow-acting ability had, through numerous modifications, transformed into an incredibly terrifying force. Now, even with an increased repertoire of abilities, it required a mere three seconds to fully deploy its entire arsenal.

During the initial two seconds, Luo Yuan withstood the onslaught with his physical form. He was now thoroughly drenched in blood. Gritting his teeth, he persevered. Now, the final second had arrived.

Bang!

The torrential attacks unleashed by God Punisher suddenly became both terrifying and horrifying. Despite this, Luo Yuan laughed. He laughed with an overwhelming sense of joy. Gently, he activated the delightful surprise he had prepared for Chen Feng: Absolute Defense! For a single second after its activation, the user would be rendered absolutely invincible! In its final second, God Punisher’s power was rendered null. Although Chen Feng, with his acute senses, had detected an anomaly and adjusted God Punisher to slightly prolong its execution, it proved too late. By the time Absolute Defense was activated, God Punisher’s attacks had already begun to pour forth. Thus, God Punisher’s onslaught finally breached Luo Yuan’s defenses. Yet, amidst the splattering blood, Luo Yuan howled with triumphant laughter. He knew, with absolute certainty, that victory now lay within his grasp.
