Chapter 311 Absorbing the Kunlun Spiritual Vein! Lu Sheng: Let's Put the Sea God on the Dinner
Kunlun's main peak is a forbidden dragon's lair.
The spiritual energy here had liquefied into a viscous, milky-white liquid, dripping down the stalactites and striking the ground with a tinkling sound. This spiritual liquid, regarded as a sacred medicine by outsiders, was now surging wildly towards the figure in the center like a school of startled fish.
Lu Sheng sat cross-legged at the source of the dragon vein, his upper body naked.
The sound of his blood and qi flowing within his body was astonishing; with each heartbeat, the entire cave wall hummed. The immense divine essence of the Heart of the True Sea, under the savage refining of the Ancient Devouring Furnace, transformed into dark golden magma, roaring and surging through every vein of Lu Sheng's body.
"System, your digestion speed is too slow, add some fuel."
Lu Sheng's jaw clenched, and the veins on his forehead throbbed like earthworms. In his mind's eye, the upgraded system interface was flashing a blinding gray light.
[Command confirmed.]
[Overclocking mode activated for the Ancient Devouring Furnace.]
[Current consumption: 10000 energy points per second.]
[Refining speed increased by 300%!]
boom!!
A ball of deathly gray flame erupted from every pore of Lu Sheng's skin. In that instant, every inch of the dragon scales on his body was burned to a bright red, branding color.
The excruciating pain felt like a hundred million steel needles piercing my soul at the same time.
Lu Sheng's bones began to crack.
The "Dragon Bone Level V" within his body was undergoing its most primal dismantling. The bones, which originally shone with golden light, gradually melted into a chaotic paste under the repeated hammering of divine essence and desolate origin. Then, a deeper, heavier dark purple color, carrying an aura of immortality, slowly emerged.
This is a restructuring.
"I've already gouged out the Abyss Lord's eyeballs, what's a few bones to me?"
A low growl escaped Lu Sheng's throat. He forced himself to stay conscious, staring intently at the regenerating bones.
Not just bones, but also flesh.
His "Dragon Muscle V-Rank" was continuously carbonized in the flames, and then new fibers were generated under the nourishment of the enormous life energy. Each new muscle fiber was ten thousand times tougher than a strand of hair, and it was interwoven with intricate five-element Dao patterns.
Meanwhile, the sky outside changed.
On the ninety-nine floating islands of Kunlun, countless cultivators were horrified to discover that the spiritual energy they depended on for survival was drying up.
The once lush and misty sacred mountain became dry and barren in just a few breaths. All the spiritual energy was forcibly drawn away by an extremely domineering gravitational force, gathering in the sky above the main peak to form a terrifying funnel with a diameter of over ten thousand meters.
"What is that...? This intensity of absorbing spiritual energy, is it a breakthrough to the Spirit King realm?"
An elder who had miraculously survived stood at the foot of the mountain, looking up at the all-consuming vortex, his lips trembling.
Li Xiaoyao and Luo Tianfei guarded the entrance to the forbidden area.
Luo Tianfei's gaze never left the tightly closed stone door. She could sense that the being behind the door was undergoing a leap from mortal to god. The oppressive power of that power even made the ancient phoenix essence within her want to bow down in worship.
"This isn't a breakthrough, it's a complete rebirth!" Li Xiaoyao took a swig of his old wine, his hands trembling so much he could barely hold the gourd. "In all my years, I've never heard of a Spirit Sect being able to absorb all the spiritual energy of the entire Kunlun Mountains in one go. This kid is defying the heavens!"
Inside the forbidden area.
Lu Sheng's breakthrough has reached its most critical moment.
Deep within his spine, the "Desolate Heaven Emperor" dharma image, which was originally only half-solidified, now let out a deafening roar.
Dark golden blood gushed from Lu Sheng's heart, connecting with the void and flowing into the body of the Dharma Image. The originally illusory light and shadow actually grew real skin and sprouted hot flesh!
This is the materialization of the Dharma form! It is the ultimate sign of the Spirit Sect breaking through to the Spirit King realm.
But it's not over yet.
Stimulated by the Heart of the True Sea, the muscles on the back of that Emperor's Dharma Image suddenly split open.
"Pfft!"
Two new arms, burning with blinding, desolate fire, suddenly burst forth from under the Dharma Image's ribs.
Three heads and six arms!
In each hand, a blurry phantom weapon began to materialize. Spears, seals, longswords... these were divine powers that transformed all the essence of magical treasures that Lu Sheng had once devoured into Dharma forms!
[Ding! Dharma Form Evolution Completed! Gained Divine Power: Six Arms to Suppress the World!]
[Ding! Physical body reconstruction complete! The initial formation of the Ancient Divine Body!]
[Current Level: 34 (0/150000)!]
Lu Sheng's eyes snapped open.
In those double cross-shaped pupils, gray desolation and dark gold divinity intertwined perfectly.
"call--"
He gently exhaled a breath of stale air.
This breath struck the stone wall, instantly shattering the basalt, which was strong enough to withstand a blow from a Spirit King, into countless fragments.
Lu Sheng slowly stood up.
At this moment, he didn't appear to have grown any bigger; on the contrary, he was even more well-proportioned and upright than before. The layers of fine, artistic-looking dark purple dragon scales had completely disappeared beneath his skin, leaving only a few ferocious bone spurs at his joints.
He opened the system panel, which he hadn't looked at in a long time.
[Host: Lu Sheng]
[Level: 34 Spirit Master (Mid-Stage)]
[Physical Strength: 50 times the limit of mortal beings (Evaluation: Reached the ceiling of the Spirit King level, equivalent to a level 50 physical body!)]
[Strength: 2800 tons]
Speed: 2500 meters per second
[Body Enhancement: Ancient Divine Body (Initial Formation), Five Internal Organs Shrine (Level I), Divine Muscles, Purple-Gold Dragon Bones.]
[Dharma Form: Desolate Heavenly Emperor (materialized, 1,000 meters tall, three heads and six arms)]
[Special Skills: Six Arms to Suppress the World, Dragon Emperor's Slash, Five Elements Reversal Wheel (Great Refinement)]
[Energy Points: 1200000]
"Level 34, but with physical stats of level 50."
Lu Sheng clenched his fist. The air between his fingers was squeezed and exploded, producing a series of ear-piercing bangs.
"System, can I tear that demonized Spirit Emperor apart with my bare hands right now?"
[Comparing...]
[Conclusion: If the Spirit Emperor reappears, the host can decapitate him within three moves using only physical strength.]
"Tsk, three moves? That's still a bit slow."
Lu Sheng casually grabbed a black robe from the side and draped it over his shoulders. It was a high-level spiritual treasure that he had taken from the Kunlun Treasure Vault. Now that he was wearing it, it was rattling loudly because of the suppressed blood energy emanating from him.
He headed towards the exit of the restricted area.
With each step, the void beneath his feet cracked like a spiderweb, unable to withstand the terrifying pressure of his physical body.
"boom!!"
The tightly closed Dragon-Slaying Stone Gate was instantly reduced to dust with a gentle touch of Lu Sheng's finger.
Sunlight streamed down.
Amidst the swirling dust, Lu Sheng's tall, imposing figure emerged from the light.
Luo Tianfei, who was guarding the door, subconsciously took a step back. Looking at the man in front of her, she felt an overwhelming sense of oppression, as if the person standing in front of her was not a person, but an ancient ferocious beast that was awakening.
"Owner……"
Luo Tianfei bowed slightly, and the address that was originally awkward now came out willingly.
Lu Sheng ignored the astonished Kunlun disciples. He turned to look at Li Xiaoyao, his lips curling into that familiar languid expression, but the sharpness in his eyes was enough to make anyone afraid to look him in the eye.
"Old man, are the handymen doing their jobs efficiently?"
Li Xiaoyao was stunned for a while before chuckling dryly, "Nimble, Sect Master Zixiao is over there picking manure, working really hard."
"That's good."
Lu Sheng looked up, gazing towards the distant east. There, at the edge of the True Sea, an unseen force was relentlessly pounding at his heart.
He took out the tattered ancient sheepskin scroll from his pocket and looked at the four blurry seal characters on it.
"The Dragon Palace of the Deep Sea..."
A gray glint flashed in Lu Sheng's eyes.
"Since there's not enough food for me on land anymore..."
He stretched out a hand and grabbed at the void.
"Then let's go to the sea..."
"Let's put that so-called 'Sea God' on the dinner table and have a taste!"
Just as Lu Sheng was about to set off.
"Buzz—"
At the summit of Kunlun Mountain, the death knell, which had been shattered in half, emitted a mournful wail once again, even without anyone striking it.
A blood-red beam of light shot straight into the sky from the direction of the sea; even from thousands of miles away, the red glow, filled with death and decay, could be seen.
That was... an alarm signaling the end of the world.
Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes, his double cross-shaped pupils surging with killing intent.
"Looks like I don't need to go looking for it..."
"It can't wait to add more food to my plate."
