Chapter 280: Breaking Limits, A Brand-New Form!
"Still not enough..."
Mu Chuan murmured softly as he casually launched another terrifying energy wave. The energy wave shot out at lightning speed.
Jiren swiftly dodged.
The terrifying energy wave pierced through the last remaining portion of the arena with ease.
Before Jiren could react, Mu Chuan teleported beside him. With a swift hand blade, he slashed downward, aiming at Jiren's neck.
The speed was so astonishing that Jiren had no time to react, taking the hit head-on.
This scene shocked everyone in the audience.
Could this be the decisive blow? Was the match over?
Just as they entertained these thoughts, the battle showed no signs of ending. Jiren, despite barely steadying himself after the blow, turned and delivered a powerful punch to Mu Chuan's face.
Mu Chuan did not back down either. With a devastating counterpunch, he sent Jiren flying across the arena. Without hesitation, Mu Chuan charged forward, launching a powerful kick with all his strength.
This kick seemed to radiate terrifying purple lightning, enveloping Mu Chuan's legs completely.
Boom!
Jiren, along with half of the remaining arena, was sent flying. The clash of this immense power startled everyone in the audience.
A single kick had shattered half the arena!
How terrifying must his destructive power be?
Such strength was beyond imagination.
"That's terrifying... A kick like that would kill an ordinary person on the spot."
"No wonder... He truly is one of the universe's top beings."
Everyone was utterly shocked. Even the Pride Troopers from Universe 11 were trembling in fear. Imagining themselves in Jiren's place, they realized none of them would survive such a kick.
It would mean instant death!
This realization made the gap between them painfully clear.
However...
This also filled them with deep concern.
Was Jiren alright?
The audience searched the arena for Jiren's whereabouts. After taking such a devastating kick, Jiren had indeed suffered a heavy blow. For a moment, he seemed utterly dazed.
Fortunately, his reflexes were quick. Grabbing onto a floating rock, he barely prevented himself from falling off the stage.
At this moment, using all his strength, Jiren leapt back onto the arena.
"That was close..."
"You are strong. I didn't expect you to display such terrifying power at this moment."
"But this ends here!"
"My next attack will be my strongest. If you can withstand it, then victory is yours. But if not..."
Jiren did not finish his sentence. His energy was already surging once again. Slowly, he clasped his hands together, and a terrifying aura began to emanate.
Energy gradually gathered between his hands.
Mu Chuan did not back down either. This time, however, he made no large movements. He simply raised one hand slightly, condensing a purple energy sphere at his fingertip. Over time, the sphere began to expand.
Seeing this, Frieza's pupils contracted. An intense shock welled up within her.
Is that... my Death Ball?
That wretched Saiyan was actually using her signature technique at such a critical moment. Was he doing this to let her feel somewhat involved?
That wretched Saiyan...
Frieza thought bitterly. But deep down, she felt a hint of gratification. After all, despite her best efforts, she had failed to inflict any damage on the opponent. Yet, Mu Chuan could do so effortlessly.
Clearly, this Saiyan's power far exceeded her own. Now, by incorporating her technique, he seemed to acknowledge her existence in a unique way.
The energy waves in both their hands grew stronger, eventually engulfing the entire arena.
Orange-red and purple energy waves clashed violently. In an instant, dazzling lights filled the arena, the colors covering everything in sight.
The two energies refused to give an inch, pushing against each other with terrifying force. It seemed like a stalemate with no winner in sight.
This intense deadlock lasted for a full minute. But just as everyone believed the fight was even, the tide suddenly turned!
The purple energy surged forward, gaining ground rapidly. In an instant, it enveloped the orange-red energy, swallowing it entirely.
The orange-red energy shrank to a tiny fragment...
This sight left everyone in utter shock.
Could it be... Jiren was about to lose?
No one had anticipated that Mu Chuan's power would be this overwhelming. It was as if his strength had suddenly ascended to a new level. Did he have no limits?
In truth, it wasn't as simple as they imagined...
Mu Chuan had indeed reached his limit. At this moment, he was giving everything he had. His Ultra Instinct: Transcendence had been pushed to its utmost peak, achieving a power beyond imagination. Yet even so, the battle had merely reached a stalemate.
However...
In a single moment, Mu Chuan unleashed all his remaining potential. He was determined to exhaust every ounce of his strength!
He was forcing himself to break through his limits.
Only by doing so could he reach a whole new realm!
As he pushed himself to his absolute maximum, his form began to change. His hair, still purple, darkened in shade. Purple lightning swirled around him, growing denser.
At the same time, his body underwent further transformations. Similar to a Super Saiyan 4, faint fur began to appear on his skin—this time, in a deep purple hue.
The new form exuded an aura of malevolence, and his power soared to unprecedented heights.
In an instant, his terrifying power broke through the deadlock, enveloping Jiren completely!
Jiren didn't even have time to react. He was engulfed by the devastating Death Ball. He struggled to resist, but the energy's overwhelming destructive force left him helpless.
In the end, he was annihilated on the spot.
The arena was completely obliterated.
Nothing remained except for the small patch beneath Mu Chuan's feet.
The scene fell into silence.
Everyone stared at Mu Chuan's new form in stunned disbelief. They glanced at the now-vanished arena, as if the world itself had come to a standstill.
