Chapter 1379: Crushing Pressure

Renar's lips curled into a smile. "So you're the protagonist of the future era, are you? A human from the universe's great land? Has life already emerged in the chaotic sea rivers outside?"

By now, life should have begun to gestate in the chaotic sea.

"Cosmic being, welcome to our world of fungi."

Renar burst out laughing. "Captain Superhero, now it's my turn to play with you."

*Crack!*

The next second, Renar vanished from his spot. He erupted with an unimaginably terrifying super-speed, appearing before Quimbetros and forcefully pressing his hands down, burying the other man into the earth like a carrot.

"Get down!!"

As if struck by a massive meteorite, Quimbetros' head was caved in, smashed into the underground world, piercing through the cosmic membrane.

*Whoosh.* Endless stars surrounded them; they had entered the vacuum of space. Renar slowly approached.

*Click, click, click.* Quimbetros' head extended from his abdominal cavity. He twisted his neck, which had been pushed down, and chuckled, "Your strength is quite impressive... I'll just flatten you all, then head to the Chaotic Sea to greet the new lives our race has nurtured."

"Of course I can! How can a man say he can't? I practice mechanics, pure mechanics, thermodynamics – the ultimate in violence."

Renar was tall and muscular, his body seemingly wreathed in countless flames that danced in the wind. His long golden hair was wild and unkempt. His clothes had burned away in the wind, leaving him naked, robust, and lean.

"Fellow Daoist Kuangtu, how about I take care of this one? You can use your Quantum War Body's hand to weave me a pair of boxer briefs to cover my private parts. After all, this is the only downside of the martial arts era: no clothes to wear, it's quite embarrassing."

Kuangtu stood silently by.

In the end, he no longer possessed the strong ability to pioneer new martial arts, but cultivating and modifying the existing martial art "Quantum War Body" was enough for him to reach the pinnacle.

There was no single strongest martial art; every one had its own specialty. His cultivation of the Quantum War Body was one of the strongest techniques, though perhaps not entirely cutting-edge as it was a path pioneered by others, it was still enough for him to stand at the peak.

He was one of the nine from the old days. Now, he remained one of the pinnacles of the new era, with the chance to contend for the ultimate path, and that was enough.

"Impossible." Kuangtu's voice caught. "Although my Quantum War Body currently only extends to one arm, it can indeed transform into quantum armor to cover the body. But use my quantum hand to become underwear? If you were a beautiful girl, I'd be happy to, but unfortunately, you're a demonic muscular brute."

"You're really not approachable enough, even though we're so familiar with each other." Renar's face gradually stiffened, and he forced a smile.

"This era is, after all, imperfect. For us martial artists, the body is the strongest weapon, yet there are no sufficiently durable clothes to cover it, which detracts from the dignity of a strong individual. Personally, I believe Fellow Daoist Kuangtu's 'Quantum War Body' could, in the future, be cultivated into 'Quantum Outerwear,' transforming into countless strands of clothing to cover every powerful individual in this era. By focusing solely on this, you could remain supreme! This would be part of the 'Law of Clothing.' After all, many Immortal Saints have completed cosmic rules, springs, rivers... For you to complete 'clothing' would be perfectly fitting!"

*I should establish... the Law of Clothing?* Kuangtu was completely dumbfounded. What in the world was going on in this person's head??

*I am Kuangtu! In the era of the Immortal Realm, I was a super ruthless individual who once slaughtered countless star systems! And you want me to become countless pairs of boxer briefs, focusing on "non-combat martial arts," becoming the clothing for the strong individuals of this era, providing them with service?*

The market, indeed, is huge! In a sense, it's highly feasible, and he could even become like the Mother Earth Blue Vine, with everyone seeking his help.

But! But!!!?

Veins bulged on Kuangtu's face. He finally understood what kind of person Renar was: full of strange remarks and an extremely obnoxious personality. Kuangtu snorted, "You already possess Quantum Reshaping; you can easily transform your body. If you feel embarrassed, just shrink it in."

Renar laughed heartily, declaring grandly, "Fellow Daoist Kuangtu, you truly aren't approachable enough. No wonder all you Immortal Saints for so many years have been single-mindedly seeking the Dao, so pure, with only one of you ever married."

Kuangtu no longer intended to humor him.

Renar's martial talent was arguably the strongest; even Kuangtu in his prime could only match him. In this era, the only one who might have a chance to defeat him was Wang Renming, who had achieved the Four-in-One, a complete fusion. And that was only if someone among the four Quantum Grandmasters could become "Emperor Qi," leveraging his level to possess talent comparable to Renar's!

"Are you two perhaps looking down on me too much?" Quimbetros' face darkened. His clothes were now torn apart, revealing his powerful and muscular body. He looked at the two men, "Are you looking for death?"

Ninth-level enlightenment means becoming a life form that can warp cosmic rules. In the eyes of such beings, the rules of the universe are full of loopholes, allowing them to twist them at will... the rules of matter can be overclocked at any time, breaking physical limits.

Ninth-level martial arts practitioners are ultimate beings of microscopic mechanics. In their eyes, the structure of all matter in the world is different from that seen by ordinary life forms; it consists of quantum particles, like a super-particulate world under a microscope, composed of countless distorted quanta.

The ninth and eighth levels are still beings of two different dimensions! Any eighth-level being, in the eyes of a ninth-level existence, is riddled with billions of dense, quantum-sized pinholes, appearing like a ridiculous doll.

"But this person, though seemingly standing casually, even with his back to me, hasn't shown a single flaw from head to toe." He slightly raised a fingertip, and a quantum wave shot out. "How about this move?"

*Whoosh.* The light wave, however, merged into Renar's body without causing any disturbance. At that moment, Renar's entire being seemed to ripple with the heat of a scorching river, radiating omnipresent high temperatures and various forms of radiation.

He was like a super-radiated being, an endless source of light and heat.

"Your move seems to be ineffective," Renar said, turning around with a benevolent smile.

"What martial art is this?" Quimbetros' expression subtly changed.

"Hot River Force."

Renar chuckled, "Are you looking down on 'nuclear reactions'? This is one of the strongest physical reactions in the universe, generating enormous energy from the breakdown of matter. My 'nucleus' is the cell nucleus! This is a new type of nuclear fusion and fission; every cell is a super-reactor. I'm like a nuclear battery; any attack will trigger new fusion reactions, allowing me to store energy... then I use fission to release the absorbed energy... Do you understand now?"

Quimbetros' face was grim. "No frills, just pure explosive power, embodying the violent aesthetic of hot blood and passion?" This concept struck him as terrifying.

Renar slowly swung his fist. "Nuclear transformation has granted me the purest violence and explosive power. Can you keep up with my speed?"

Quimbetros raised his round shield high, but it was effortlessly shattered, sending him flying backward.

The shield was undamaged, but he himself didn't even have time to scream, instantly transforming into a twisted mess of flesh, like minced meat pounded ten thousand times.

"You? You?" Quimbetros cried out in a mix of horror and disbelief, "Crushed? How could I possibly be crushed like this??"
