Chapter 761
The Imperial Palace [8]
"presumptuous!!!"
Jin Lie finally reached his breaking point.
In this realm of metal, he is the supreme king! He is the spokesperson of God! How could he have ever suffered such humiliation, treated like that of livestock?!
"Eat my son? And you want to eat me too?!"
"I originally intended to leave you with a whole corpse so I could extract information from the outside world. Now it seems..."
"You must die!!"
"Summon the ancestral artifact!!"
Jin Lie roared and raised his hands high into the sky.
Om-! ! !
Deep within the temple, a dazzling golden light shot into the sky.
It was a giant sword that was a hundred feet long.
But this wasn't a forged sword; it was a... tooth.
【Fang of the Ancient God】(Canine tooth)
This is the strongest foundation of the Lung Metal Realm, one of the sharpest parts of the ancient god's body, containing a trace of the true "Tearing Law".
"Su Chen! To die beneath the fangs of an ancient god is your honor!!"
Jin Lie flapped his eight wings wildly, pouring all his divine power into the giant sword.
"cut!!!"
boom!!!
The giant sword fell.
The sky was cut open.
The entire space of the Lung Metal Realm was as fragile as paper under this sword strike, and a black void rift stretching for tens of thousands of miles was torn open.
This strike is enough to instantly kill any expert below the fifth realm! Even a physical body of the level of the Chaos Demon Lord would be cut in two!
"Die!!"
The 100,000 Golden Wing Clan warriors cheered in unison, as if they could already see Su Chen being cleaved in two.
however.
Faced with this earth-shattering sword strike.
Su Chen did not dodge.
He looked up at the huge tooth that had fallen, a hint of... nostalgia in his eyes?
"The teeth of the ancient gods..."
I don't know if this tooth has cavities.
Su Chen slowly extended his right hand.
He did not use any supernatural powers, nor did he summon any magical treasures.
It was just that simple, a quick upward grab.
"Catch a blade barehanded? You're asking for death!!" Jin Lie sneered.
when--!!!
A deafening roar, powerful enough to shatter the soul, resounded throughout the entire Lung Metal Realm.
The scene that everyone had imagined—Su Chen's arm being severed and his body being split open—did not occur.
The [Ancient God's Fang], powerful enough to cleave galaxies, was abruptly halted in mid-air.
Beneath the blade of the greatsword was a hand that didn't appear to be very large.
The hand was the color of jade, and it held the sword blade steadily without even breaking the skin!
"This……"
Jin Lie's smile froze on his face.
"How...is this possible?!"
"That's the Fang of an Ancient God! It carries the Law of Tear! How could you possibly withstand it?!"
Su Chen, holding the giant sword, glanced at him indifferently.
"The Law of Tearing?"
"Excuse me."
Su Chen tightened his grip on the sword blade.
"I'm harder than it now!"
"and……"
Su Chen grinned, revealing teeth even whiter than the teeth of an ancient god.
"This is a large calcium tablet."
"Since you've gone to such lengths to deliver yourself to my door..."
Snap! Snap!
Su Chen twisted his hand suddenly.
That indestructible ancient god's tooth was actually broken in half by him!
"Then I won't stand on ceremony!"
"Boom!"
Su Chen stuffed the broken sword into his mouth and chewed it like it was a piece of cartilage.
"Hmm, this one doesn't have cavities, it's crunchy, and it's good for calcium."
"..."
Jin Lie has gone mad.
One hundred thousand soldiers went mad.
Their ancestral artifacts! Their faith!
It was broken in half and eaten?!
"You're a devil...you're a devil!!"
Jin Lie completely broke down and turned to run away.
"run?"
Su Chen swallowed the fragment in his mouth, and in a flash, he appeared in front of Jin Lie.
Didn't your son tell you?
"Speed is the most useless thing in my eyes."
Snapped! !
Su Chen grabbed the base of Jin Lie's wing from behind.
"Eight wings...tsk tsk, this is a deluxe family bucket!"
"No! Don't pull it out!! I am the king! I am..."
"You are the ingredients."
*Sizzle!*
As golden blood rained down, Su Chen skillfully completed the "wing removal" process.
Jin Lie fell with a scream, following in his son's footsteps.
Su Chen, carrying the enormous golden wings, stood in the void, looking down at the 100,000 trembling "free-range chickens" below.
"The lung metal boundary is leveled."
"next."
Su Chen's gaze passed over the temple and looked into the distance.
There, a colossal bone pillar stretched from heaven to earth, piercing the clouds.
That is the necessary path to the brain—the "Spine Ladder".
"Hun Tian, follow me."
"Clean up the battlefield, start a fire and cook."
"Now that we've eaten, let's go hiking."
"I heard the scenery on that mountain is... quite nice?"
……
……
[Ancient God Ruins - The Junction of the Lung and Spine]
Having bid farewell to the chaotic Lung Gold Realm (belonging to the Golden Wing Clan), Su Chen led his well-fed and radiant demon army into a new world.
If the previous organ areas were strange "small worlds," then this scene before us is a true "grand narrative."
Between heaven and earth, there stood a colossal pillar that defied description.
It reaches the heavens above (the brain's divine court) and descends to the underworld (the coccyx's abyss).
This is no ordinary pillar, but a "ladder to heaven" formed by thirty-three majestic mountain peaks stacked and interlocked one another. Each mountain peak is, in fact, a vertebra of an ancient god!
These bone peaks are a vast grayish-white color, each section reaching tens of thousands of miles in height, their surfaces covered with traces of weathering over time and the claw marks of countless powerful beings.
A heavy, suffocating pressure emanated from this spine.
That wasn't the suppression of magic, but pure gravity.
"Pfft!"
As soon as they stepped into the area of the spine, the few native warriors of the Desolate Bone City who were walking in front suddenly collapsed to their knees, their knees shattering the hard rocks.
"So...so heavy!!"
"The gravity here is at least a hundred times stronger than outside!!"
The Demon Lord of Chaos also felt his body sink, and the Primordial Divine Pillar in his hand almost slipped from his grasp. He quickly circulated his demonic power, tensing all his muscles, before he could barely regain his footing.
"My lord, this place is a bit eerie."
The Demon Lord of Chaos said, panting heavily, "It's not just gravity, I feel my bones cracking, as if something is pressing on my bone marrow."
"This is the [Spine Ladder]."
The Skeleton Lord floated beside Su Chen (his soul form was unaffected by gravity, and he looked gloating), pointing at the bone peak that pierced the clouds.
"The power center of the ancient gods, and also the only path to the brain's divine court."
"Thirty-three vertebrae, each a different realm. The higher you go, the more terrifying the gravity becomes."
"Moreover, this is a forbidden area."
The Skeleton Lord pointed around, “Here, apart from physical strength, any spell will be weakened by 90%. Even if someone reaches the Fifth Realm, they'll have to climb up obediently.” “Therefore, this is also a paradise for ‘ascetics’ in the ancient god ruins.”
"An ascetic?" Su Chen looked up.
Sure enough, on those massive spinal walls, one could see many tiny figures, like ants, struggling to climb. Most of them were shirtless, carrying huge stones or instruments of torture on their backs, sweating profusely with every step, their eyes burning with fervor.
"That's interesting."
Su Chen stretched his neck.
Having been tempered by his own blood and sweat, he is now least afraid of gravity.
The pressure of a hundred times the normal gravity on him felt like wearing a slightly thicker cotton-padded coat; it wasn't uncomfortable at all, but rather made him feel...very safe.
"Walk."
"Go to the first section."
……
[Section 1: Spine - Mountain Gate Square]
This is a vast plaza of bones, where a large number of creatures from various ethnic groups gather in preparation for climbing the mountain.
At the entrance to the upper mountain path, there is a huge checkpoint.
The checkpoint was constructed from two giant leg bones, with a rough plaque hanging above it bearing two crooked characters: "[Li Guan]".
The gatekeepers were a group of giants, each three zhang tall, with muscles so exaggerated they were almost deformed.
They had no heads, their facial features were on their chests, they held huge stone axes and shields, and their bodies reeked of a nauseating stench of sweat and a violent aura of blood.
【Xingtianwei】
The guardian race, derived from the spine of the ancient god, are also extreme worshippers of the flesh.
"stop!!!"
When Su Chen led his army to the checkpoint, a thunderous roar resounded.
The largest Xingtian Guard commander, with heavy steps, blocked the road.
His large eyes on his chest first glanced at the Demon Lord of Chaos and the burly native warriors, then nodded slightly, seemingly satisfied.
But when his gaze fell on Su Chen at the front, his large mouth on his navel instantly grinned into a contemptuous arc.
"Where did this greyhound come from?"
Commander Xingtian pointed at Su Chen and let out a deafening laugh.
"So thin?"
"His arm isn't even as thick as my finger!"
"With such fair skin, is she here to choose a concubine? Hahahaha!!"
The Xingtian Guards around them burst into laughter, slapping their rock-like pectoral muscles with muffled "thump" sounds to show off their strength.
On the spine ladder, there is an unwritten hierarchy of contempt:
Those with big muscles look down on those with small muscles, and those who are ugly look down on those who are handsome.
In their eyes, a perfect figure like Su Chen's, who is "slim when dressed and muscular when undressed," is a typical example of "malnutrition" and "effeminate."
"Hey! You pretty boy!"
Commander Xingtian slammed his massive axe, weighing ten thousand catties, onto the ground with a loud bang, sending up a shower of rubble.
"This is men's territory!"
"Want to climb the Heavenly Ladder? Sure."
"Go home, drink two tons of milk, and build up your muscles before you come back!"
"or……"
He pointed to a large black rock with markings next to him—that was the "Testing Stone" used to test strength.
"If you can lift this stone, even an inch off the ground, I'll make an exception and let you pass!"
"But judging from your appearance, even if you exert all your strength, you'd probably only break your tiny waist, right? Hahaha!!"
Faced with this overwhelming "muscle bullying".
The Hun Tian Demon Lord and others behind Su Chen were furious.
"Insolence!! How dare you disrespect our lord!!"
"You're all blind! How could you possibly fathom the Lord's power?!"
The Demon Lord of Chaos was about to rush up and teach these brainless barbarians a lesson.
"Go back."
Su Chen raised his hand to stop his subordinates.
He looked at the Commander Xingtian, who was shaking his chest muscles, and instead of getting angry, he stroked his chin with interest.
"Shound?"
"Pretty boy?"
Su Chen looked down at his slender fingers, then at the other person's granite-like arms.
"Indeed, in terms of size, I am a bit small."
Su Chen slowly walked forward until he stood at the feet of the Xing Tian commander. He wasn't even as tall as the other man's knees.
He looked up and asked earnestly:
"But, big guy."
"Your mother didn't tell you..."
Is concentrated essence the only true essence?
"Essence?" Commander Xingtian was taken aback, then laughed even louder, "Essence my ass! In the face of absolute power, everything is just an excuse!!"
"An excuse?"
Su Chen smiled.
He slowly extended one finger—his index finger.
"Since you're so obsessed with muscles..."
"Then let's play a simple game."
Su Chen pointed to the giant axe in Commander Xing Tian's hand.
"Use this axe to chop me with all your might."
"I only use this one finger."
"If I take even half a step back, or bend my finger even slightly, I lose."
"What if you lose..."
Su Chen's gaze became playful.
"How about I cut off those impressive-looking muscles of yours and make them into 'dried beef'?"
Chapter 771 Comparing Strength? I'm your ancestor!
"Wh...what?!"
Upon hearing this, Commander Xingtian's mouth gaped open wide enough to fit a watermelon.
He suspected that he had heard wrongly.
This pale-faced guy, who's not even as tall as my leg, is going to catch a full-force axe blow from me with just one finger?
This isn't just arrogance, this is suicide! This is staged an accident!
"Okay, okay!!"
Commander Xingtian laughed in anger, his muscles slithering like snakes, emanating a terrifying dark red aura.
"Since you want to be turned into mincemeat, I'll grant your wish!!"
"Don't even mention a single finger, even if you put all your bones together, I'd chop you to pieces!!"
"Roar--!!!"
A loud shout.
Commander Xingtian raised the heavy Mountain-Splitting Demon Axe with both hands.
At that moment, all his strength erupted without reservation. The ground beneath his feet cracked inch by inch, and the surrounding air was compressed, causing it to explode.
This axe strike carried no magical power; it was purely an extreme release of physical strength.
With the added force of a hundred times gravity, the destructive power of this axe is enough to split an ancient divine mountain in two!
"Die, you greyhound!!"
boom!!!
The giant axe, accompanied by a black wind pressure capable of destroying everything, fell down.
The ascetics watching the spectacle all closed their eyes, as if they could already see Su Chen being cleaved in two.
however.
Just as the axe blade was only three inches from Su Chen's head.
That index finger, which looked fair, slender, and even somewhat "fragile," gently pointed upwards.
The movement was as gentle as touching a fallen leaf.
"bite--!!!"
A crisp, yet penetrating metallic clang resounded throughout the entire First Spine Plaza.
Time seemed to stand still at that moment.
The scene was extremely bizarre:
Above them was a giant three zhang tall, with bulging muscles all over his body, holding a giant axe, his expression ferocious, and in a chopping posture.
Below, a slender young man dressed in a green robe stood with one hand in his pocket and only one index finger extended, resting against the massive axe blade.
Not moving.
They did not retreat even a step.
Not even a single finger bent, not even the slightest curve. (End of Chapter)
