Chapter 760
The Imperial Palace [7]
"Brother! Be careful, this might be a trap!"
The Skeleton Lord floated beside Su Chen's ear and said warily, "This birdman has no good intentions. That Storm Canyon is the main airway for the ancient gods to breathe! The wind inside is the 'World-Destroying Golden Wind'! Even back then, Chen and I only dared to rush through during the gaps in the ancient gods' 'exhalation'."
"Judging from this posture, it's clearly at the peak of 'inhaling'!"
"Going in is like going into a meat grinder!"
Upon hearing this, Jin Peng trembled and hurriedly protested, "No...no! There's only one way! Really! I want to live too!"
In his heart, he was cursing wildly: Go in! Go in! As soon as I enter Storm Canyon, my father's 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin Formation' will be activated! Combined with that world-destroying golden wind, even a fifth-realm cultivator will be severely injured!
Su Chen looked at the terrifying storm's mouth, then glanced at Jin Peng's flickering eyes.
He laughed suddenly.
"A meat grinder?"
Su Chen patted Jin Peng's head with such force that he almost shattered his skull.
"Do you think that once I go inside, I'll be cut to pieces?"
"Or...is your father already lying in ambush inside?"
Jin Peng's face turned deathly pale: "No...nothing..."
"It's okay if you have it."
Su Chen released his grip and strode towards the Storm Canyon.
"For the weak, it's a meat grinder."
"But for a truly indestructible body..."
Su Chen's muscles bulged slightly, and a layer of dark golden light emanated from the depths of his bone marrow.
【Indestructible Vajra, Divine and Demonic Form】!
"This is just a... thorough polishing."
"Hun Tian, have the army wait outside."
"They can't enjoy this level of 'massage'."
"I'll go in alone."
After saying that, Su Chen, like a golden war god, plunged headfirst into the Gengjin storm that was powerful enough to shatter stars, amidst the horrified gazes of the crowd!
boom!!!
The storm engulfed him instantly.
Deep within the canyon, countless Golden Wing Clan powerhouses hidden in the shadows revealed cruel smiles upon witnessing this scene.
"Fool! You actually dared to physically charge into the formation!"
"Activate the grand formation!!"
"Use the wind to your advantage! Shred him into mincemeat!!"
However, what they didn't know was...
As Su Chen walked into the storm, he not only felt no pain, but he also opened his arms and even... opened his mouth.
"call……"
"The amount of gold in this wind is too high."
"Perfect timing, my lungs... are a little itchy."
"Then... let's suck it to our hearts' content!!"
"Boom—!!!"
This is the epicenter of the destruction.
Countless pale white streams of air collided wildly within the narrow canyon, each stream containing the Geng Metal Law, powerful enough to shatter space itself. This was not merely wind; it was the lingering "breath" of an ancient god after its death, the purest killing intent in the world.
On the cliffs on both sides of the canyon, eighteen golden figures were hidden.
They were the eighteen elders of the Golden Wing Clan, each possessing the cultivation of a half-step Great Luo Immortal. At this moment, they were jointly activating a massive killing formation, completely sealing off the entire canyon.
"That idiot's in!"
"Hmph, daring to barge into Storm Canyon with your bare hands, you've got a death wish!"
"Everyone, go all out! Coordinate with the Geng Metal Storm and activate the 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin Formation'! We must grind him into mincemeat within a single breath! Avenge our young master!!"
"kill!!!"
The eighteen elders roared in unison and swung their command flags down.
Om-! ! !
The already raging storm seemed to be infused with a soul at this moment. Countless wind blades instantly solidified, transforming into countless Gengjin divine swords flying across the sky.
Ten thousand handles? One hundred thousand handles?
No, it's billions of them!
The entire canyon instantly transformed into a meat grinder. The dense storm of sword energy, accompanied by a piercing shriek that tore everything apart, slammed fiercely into the green-robed figure who had just stepped into the canyon.
"Die!!"
All the elders stared wide-eyed, eagerly anticipating the sight of blood and gore flying everywhere.
however.
"Ding ding ding ding ding—"
A series of sharp, continuous cracking sounds emanated from the eye of the storm.
The sound didn't resemble a sharp blade piercing flesh; rather, it sounded like countless hammers striking an extremely hard piece of divine iron.
Sparks flew everywhere.
Despite the overwhelming sword energy, the figure not only did not fall, but did not even pause in its steps.
He walked leisurely through a storm powerful enough to shatter stars, his hands behind his back.
Those incredibly sharp Gengjin divine swords, when they struck his skin, could only scatter a series of dazzling sparks before shattering into primordial gold element particles.
"This...how is this possible?!"
An elder rubbed his eyes, his face filled with disbelief.
"That's a divine sword empowered by the 'World-Destroying Golden Wind'! It can even cut through top-grade acquired spiritual treasures! His skin... could it be made of an innate spiritual treasure?!"
The eye of the storm.
Su Chen turned his head slightly, feeling a slight stinging sensation on his cheek.
"The strength is good."
Su Chen reached out and caught a wind blade, gently pinching it between two fingers.
Click.
The wind blade shattered.
"It's a pity that it's too scattered."
"This is your 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to One'? This is the trap you prepared for me?"
Su Chen raised his head, his azure-gold eyes piercing through the layers of storm, accurately locking onto the eighteen elders on the cliff.
"If that's all there is to it..."
"Then I'll take it as...polishing."
Before he could finish speaking, Su Chen's muscles tensed up suddenly.
hum!
A layer of dark golden light burst forth from his body.
【Indestructible Vajra - Divine and Demonic Counterattack】!
"roll!!"
Su Chen let out a loud shout.
Boom! ...
A terrifying sonic boom, mixed with his physical energy, exploded outwards from him.
The billions of sword energies that were originally frantically trying to kill him were instantly reversed by this counterforce!
"Oh no!! Retreat!!"
The elders on the cliff were terrified and tried to flee.
But it was too late.
Their proud sword aura storm has now become a whip in Su Chen's hand, lashing them hard.
"Puff puff!"
A series of blood flowers bloomed on the cliff.
The eighteen elders were instantly severely injured and tumbled down the cliff like dumplings being dropped into a pot, crashing into the pile of rocks at the bottom of the canyon.
"A bunch of jugglers."
Su Chen didn't even glance at the wailing elders.
His attention was now completely drawn to the even more violent and pure aura emanating from the depths of the canyon.
"breathe--"
Su Chen took a deep breath.
The lingering metal energy around him surged into his body through his nostrils.
"Cough cough... I'm choking a bit."
"However, this is the real 'lung metal'."
Su Chen touched his chest.
Since activating the [Liver's Divine Treasury], his recovery ability has greatly increased, but his attack power has not seen a qualitative leap.
Among the Five Elements, Metal governs killing and warfare.
The lungs of the ancient gods are the most powerful arsenal in the world!
"Since we're here, let's not waste this opportunity."
"The liver needs to be well-nourished, but the lungs shouldn't be hungry either."
Su Chen strode forward, facing the increasingly violent wind, towards the deepest part of the canyon—the [Eye of the Wind].
"The taste inside must be even more intense, right?"
Chapter 768 A Spirit That Swallows Mountains and Rivers, the Lung God Returns to His Place
[Ancient God Ruins - Lung Gold Realm - Core Eye of the Wind] The further you go in, the stronger the wind becomes.
In the end, the concept of wind disappeared here.
The air had been compressed to an extreme state, becoming liquid, or even solid. The white metal energy, like flowing silver, filled every inch of space.
The gravity here is a thousand times greater than outside.
The cutting force here is enough to grind a low-grade innate spiritual treasure into powder in an instant.
But in the eye of the storm, there is a floating white sphere of light.
The ball of light was only the size of a fist, and it was spinning, contracting, and expanding wildly.
This is the Breath of the Ancient Gods.
It was the last breath the ancient god didn't exhale before his death, and it was also the energy source of the entire Lung Metal Realm.
"found it."
Su Chen stood at the edge of the eye of the storm. His clothes had been torn to shreds, revealing his perfect body, which looked as if it had been forged from divine metal.
His skin was covered with dense white marks, the traces left by the high concentration of Geng metal energy. But each cut made his skin tougher and shinier.
This is the ultimate body tempering!
"call……"
Su Chen stared at the white orb of light, his eyes burning with greed.
"Once I swallow it, the divine treasure of my lungs will be unlocked."
"At that time, every breath I take will be imbued with sword energy!"
"My physical body will be completely flawless!"
Without any hesitation.
The illusory image of the Longevity Tree behind Su Chen suddenly materialized.
This time, it was the [Divine Weapon Branch] that lit up, representing slaughter and sharpness.
"Eternal Life, Divine Weapon, Devouring Gold and Iron!!"
"Come here...!"
Su Chen suddenly opened his mouth wide and took a deep breath into the ball of light.
Rumble—!!!
The previously balanced eye of the storm suddenly went berserk.
The [Breath of the Ancient God], containing world-destroying power, was reluctantly pulled away from its original position by Su Chen's unreasonable "Origin Gluttony," transforming into a white stream of light that rushed straight into Su Chen's mouth.
"Gulp!!"
Su Chen swallowed it in one gulp.
Quiet.
The entire canyon fell into absolute silence for a moment.
Followed by.
Boom! ! !
A deep, resounding thud came from Su Chen's chest, as if a heavenly drum had been struck.
"what--!!!"
Su Chen roared to the sky.
But this roar wasn't a sound wave, it was... sword energy!
Those were countless white, invisible, and extremely sharp sonic sword energies!
Puff puff puff puff—! ! !
Centered on Su Chen, the cliffs of the canyon, spanning a hundred miles, collapsed instantly with this roar. Countless hard metallic rocks were sliced into neat squares, then turned into dust.
Su Chen's chest heaved violently.
His lungs are glowing at this moment.
It was a dazzling platinum light that shone through the skin and illuminated the entire dark canyon.
[The Secret Treasury of the Lungs - Unlocked!]
[Gained Traits: Metal Body, Divine Breath Sword Qi!]
[Physical "Ancient God Transformation" Progress: 80%!]
"call--"
Su Chen slowly exhaled.
This breath transformed into a white ribbon thousands of feet long, which directly cleaved the mountain blocking the way in two!
The cut is as smooth as a mirror.
"Exhale and it becomes a sword; exhale and it becomes thunder."
Su Chen touched his throat, his eyes filled with surprise.
"That's true romance for men."
"Much better than that liver that plays with drugs."
Su Chen clenched his fist, feeling the power within him become more condensed and aggressive. If his power before was a hammer, now it was a sharpened battle axe.
"It's time to go out."
Su Chen glanced at the road ahead that he had cleaved open with a single breath.
"Those birdmen must be getting impatient, right?"
……
【Ancient God Ruins: Temple of the Lung God】
At the exit of Storm Canyon stands a magnificent metal temple.
The temple floated in mid-air and was woven from countless enormous metal feathers.
At this moment, in the square in front of the temple, 100,000 elite warriors of the Golden Wing Clan were lined up in neat rows.
At the very front, on a throne made of gold, sat a middle-aged man.
His face was majestic, and he had four pairs of huge golden wings (eight wings) behind him. He exuded a suffocating pressure from the peak of the fifth level of the half-step realm.
King of the Golden Winged Clan – Jin Lie.
"Report—!!!"
A scout flew in in a panic.
"Your Majesty! Something terrible has happened!!"
"Storm Canyon... has collapsed!!"
"The fate of the eighteen elders... is unknown!!"
"What?!" Jin Lie jumped to his feet, his eyes blazing with golden light. "Storm Canyon is a natural fortress! How could it have collapsed? Could it be that an ancient god has revived?!"
"No...it's not an ancient god..."
The scout pointed tremblingly at the distant, dusty canyon exit.
"It's one person..."
"He...he got it from what he ate!!"
"From what you eat?!" Jin Lie hadn't yet realized what that meant.
boom!!!
A loud bang.
The gate of the Lung God Temple was kicked open violently by a huge foot that came down from the sky.
The once indestructible golden gate transformed into a flying pancake, hurtling towards the Golden Wing Clan's army and instantly killing hundreds.
The smoke and dust cleared.
A man wearing a green robe (which he had just changed into), with long hair flowing down his shoulders and exuding a chilling aura, slowly walked in.
He was also holding a golden bone in his hand (it was the leg bone of some unfortunate elder), picking his teeth as he looked at Jin Lie on the throne.
"Oh."
"Is this grand welcome for me?"
"Let me introduce myself."
Su Chen grinned, revealing a set of pearly white teeth.
"I am Su Chen."
"They are... people who came to pluck your feathers."
[Ancient God Ruins - Lung God Temple - Plaza]
As soon as Su Chen finished speaking, the entire square fell into a deathly silence.
The 100,000 elite Golden Winged Clan soldiers, upon seeing the man who had stormed in alone and threatened to "pluck their feathers," momentarily forgot their anger.
Because the aura emanating from that man was terrifying.
He simply stood there, and the space around him seemed to be sliced by countless invisible knives, emitting a "sizzling" sound. Every breath he exhaled condensed into frosty white sword energy in the air.
That was an absolute suppression on a life level.
"You... are you the outsider who hurt my son Jinpeng and destroyed my Storm Canyon?"
Jin Lie stared intently at Su Chen, his anger almost palpable.
But he was, after all, the king of a clan, and unlike his son, he did not act impulsively. He could sense the terrifying, suppressed power within Su Chen, like a volcano.
"Wound your son?"
After Su Chen finished picking his teeth, he casually tossed the golden bone on the ground.
"Let me correct that."
"I just helped him lose weight."
"After all, those are two wings. They're too cumbersome to grow on your body. It's better to roast them and eat them."
"Oh, right." Su Chen seemed to remember something, licking his lips, "The taste was not bad, just the meat was a little dry. I hope you, as the father, can make the meat a little more tender." (End of this chapter)
