Chapter 326 Crazy Upgrade! Breaking Two Levels in Succession, Approaching the Spirit King Realm
At the summit of the iceberg, the cold wind is like a knife.
This is the place closest to heaven, and also the place closest to death.
Lu Sheng sat cross-legged on a flat, black ice platform, his bare upper body exposed. But his current appearance was enough to make any person with trypophobia faint on the spot.
He wasn't meditating and contemplating the universe; he was carrying out a brutal "industrialized transformation."
One hundred and eight transparent tubes, each about the thickness of a thumb, were inserted into his back, along his spine, and even onto the Yuzhen acupoint at the back of his head, like a group of greedy tentacles.
The other end of the conduit was connected to 108 ancient corpses with the most terrifying auras deep within the iceberg.
These corpses were at least level 45, high-ranking Spirit Kings in life, and even included the remains of three half-step Spirit Emperors.
"Young...Young Island Master, are you sure this won't explode?"
Li Xiaoyao stood a hundred meters away, clutching several protective talismans in his hand, his old face deathly pale. He looked at Lu Sheng's back muscles, which were already stretched to the point of being deformed, as if he were looking at a nuclear bomb on a countdown.
"fry?"
Lu Sheng didn't turn around, but his voice came through the vibrations of his bones, carrying a metallic clang.
"Even if it explodes, it's still my fireworks."
He took a deep breath, his chest heaving violently like a bellows.
"Open the floodgates!"
At his command, Dao Yi, who was in charge of controlling the formation, gritted his teeth and swung his whisk fiercely.
Om-! ! !
All 108 ancient corpses shuddered simultaneously.
Multicolored light surged wildly through the conduit. It was pure energy accumulated over ten thousand years, "corpse oil" repeatedly tempered by the abyss and divinity, carrying the resentment and lingering thoughts of countless dead, and poured into Lu Sheng's body like a flood bursting its banks.
"Sizzle—"
In the first second, Lu Sheng's skin cracked open.
It wasn't a severing, but rather a tear caused by the bulging muscle fibers under the skin.
Before the dark golden blood could flow out, it was evaporated into a blood mist by the scalding heat.
pain?
This has exceeded the limits of pain receptors. It's like 108 strong men wielding sledgehammers are frantically renovating his body, trying to dismantle and rebuild his internal organs.
"Is this the will of the ancient strongmen?"
In an instant, Lu Sheng's sea of consciousness turned into a battlefield of carnage.
Countless illusory figures appeared out of thin air.
There were Qin generals wielding broken spears and roaring at the heavens, sorcerers with feather fans and turbans but ferocious faces, and barbarian priests whose bodies were engulfed in flames.
"Get out! You lowly ants of future generations!"
"I am the King of Zhenbei! Who dares to refine my essence!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Although these lingering remnants were shattered, the arrogance of the strong and the fragments of rules rampaged through Lu Sheng's mind, attempting to take over and seize control of this perfect body.
If it were an ordinary Spirit Master, they would probably suffer brain death within half a breath, turning into a new walking corpse.
But Lu Sheng smiled.
He slowly opened his "eyes" in that chaotic sea of consciousness.
Those were a pair of deathly gray, cross-shaped pupils that stretched across the sky.
"A bunch of old ghosts who've been dead for tens of thousands of years, their bones even used as batteries, what are they putting on airs for?"
Lu Sheng's consciousness transformed into a towering golden giant, which was the embodiment of his martial will.
The giant raised his foot and, showing no respect for the elderly or the young, stomped down hard on the group of the most clamoring remnant souls.
"On my turf, dragons have to coil up, and ghosts... have to kneel before me!"
Boom—!
The sea of consciousness trembled.
The arrogant remnant soul of the Prince of Zhenbei didn't even have time to scream before it was crushed into countless points of light by this stomp.
This is the Dao of Lu Sheng.
I do not seek an afterlife, nor do I respect ghosts or gods.
They only trust the gun in their hand, and only trust the flesh on their body.
outside world.
Lu Sheng's body began to undergo astonishing changes.
As that complex energy was forcibly suppressed, shattered, and blended, his [Ancient Devouring Furnace] operated to its limit, emitting a roar like an aircraft engine.
[Ding! High-intensity rule energy injected...]
[The ancient divine body's resolution has increased by 18%...20%...]
[Multiple conflicting laws detected; "violent fusion" mode activated!]
sizzle-
Strange bumps began to appear on Lu Sheng's originally black and gold skin.
A lightning-encrusted eyeball grew from his left shoulder; it was the lightning law rule of the Supreme Elder of the Thunder Spirit Sect.
His right arm was covered with a layer of diamond-like crystals, which was a defensive technique of some kind of earth-elemental powerhouse.
A ghostly blue flame ignited in his chest, the very essence of a heretical cultivator who practiced the path of the soul.
At this moment, he looked like a cobbled-together monster, ugly, ferocious, and full of chaos and disorder.
"It's a mess, so very messy."
Lu Sheng looked down at his own grotesque appearance, his brows furrowing into a deep frown.
"I don't like this kind of hodgepodge."
He suddenly stretched out his hands and actually plunged them into his own chest, grabbing the clusters of conflicting light of rules.
"Get the hell out of here... melt it!!"
hold head high--!!!
Deep within the spine of the great dragon, the Dharma image of the [Desolate Heavenly Emperor] seemed to sense the anger of the main body.
It no longer manifests outside the body, but directly overlaps with Lu Sheng's physical body.
A grayish-white aura, representing "end" and "desolation," swept over my entire body in an instant.
Even the most unruly lightning and the hardest, most stubborn crystals can only obediently decompose and turn into the most primitive nutrients in the face of this power.
All the fancy special effects disappeared.
Instead, there is a return to simplicity...pure.
Lu Sheng's body returned to human form, but the black-gold luster became even deeper, and it even began to absorb the surrounding light.
He sat there, like a human black hole.
The seawater within a radius of ten miles began to vaporize on a large scale because it could not withstand such high-density energy radiation.
A thick white fog enveloped the entire summit of the iceberg, impervious to the sea breeze and thunder.
All that could be heard from inside was a series of heartbeats like muffled thunder.
thump.
thump.
thump.
Each jump sent a shiver down the spines of Li Xiaoyao and Dao Yi, who were far away, as if they had been struck in the chest by a heavy hammer.
"Is this still the Spirit Sect?"
Dao Yi had unconsciously plucked half of his whisk bare. He stared blankly at the mist, "This kind of physical pressure... even a peak Spirit King wouldn't be this powerful, would they?"
"The Spirit King?"
Li Xiaoyao gave a wry smile and pointed to the sky above.
"Look up there."
Dao looked up, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
The once clear sky had somehow turned into a depressing, iron-gray.
But those weren't dark clouds.
That was... a distorted space.
Lu Sheng was merely sitting there, yet the mass and gravitational field emanating from him began to interfere with the physical laws of the real world, causing light and space to bend.
[Ding! Energy fully charged!]
The hierarchy has been broken!
In the heart of the fog, Lu Sheng suddenly opened his eyes.
Two gray beams pierced the sky like sharp swords, heading straight for the Dipper.
"break!"
There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a short and powerful syllable.
Click.
It felt as if some kind of shackle within my body had been completely shattered.
The energy surged like a volcanic eruption, rising steadily!
Peak level 38... Broken!
Level 39, Beginner... Breakthrough!
Level 39, Intermediate...
Peak level 39!
Just one step away from reaching the Great Perfection of the 40th level Spirit Master realm, facing the watershed that separates mortals from the extraordinary—the Spirit King Heavenly Barrier.
Lu Sheng slowly stood up.
At this moment, he had grown to about 2.3 meters tall, and his muscles were so smooth that they resembled works of art. Every inch of his skin exuded a power capable of destroying the world.
He casually pulled out a top-grade spirit crystal from his storage space, which he had extorted from the Western Pantheon.
He gently rubbed the energy crystal, which was enough for an ordinary Spirit King to cultivate for a month, between his fingertips.
puff.
It turned into a wisp of green smoke.
It didn't even raise his spiritual energy level by 0.01%.
"Your appetite has increased."
Lu Sheng patted the powder off his hands with some regret. This body's energy consumption was simply a bottomless pit, and ordinary resources were hardly enough to satisfy him.
With a slight thought, he brought up the system panel.
[Host: Lu Sheng]
[Level: 39 Spirit Master (Peak)]
[Physical Strength: 2000% (Assessment: Surpasses the limit of a regular Spirit King, and is approaching the threshold of 'Half-Step Spirit Emperor'!)]
[Special Status: All-Encompassing Body (Increases resistance to all elemental rules by 80%)]
The data is incredibly impressive.
But Lu Sheng's gaze was fixed on the red exclamation mark that was flashing at the bottom of the panel.
That's the entry for [Talent: God-level Sequence - Dragon God].
The previous description was simply "Ancient Dragon God Bloodline, capable of infinite evolution".
Now, as he devoured the heart of the sea god and refined the ancient corpse of the Immortal Qin, this line of writing began to distort and recombine, finally transforming into a shocking line of blood-red characters:
[Talent True Name Unlocked...]
Current progress: 15%
[Note: You thought this was a 'dragon'? No, this is a bio-weapon created in that era for hunting the 'starry sky'.]
[Prerequisite triggered: Find the 'Ark Core' as soon as possible and restart the gene lock. Otherwise, when 'He' casts his gaze upon you, you will have nowhere to hide.]
Lu Sheng stared at the line of text and remained silent for a long time.
"Biological weapons, huh...?"
Instead of showing fear, he curled his lips into an extremely dangerous smile.
He raised his hand, looking at his long, powerful hands that seemed capable of tearing the sky apart.
"Perfect."
"I never wanted to be some kind of savior."
"To be a knife..."
Lu Sheng clenched his fist, the air in his palm exploding with a deafening bang.
"That's more suitable for killing people."
He turned around and stepped out of the mist.
Below, Li Xiaoyao and Dao Yi looked at the man who walked out like a demon god and subconsciously wanted to kneel down.
"Stop worshiping."
Lu Sheng's voice was as cold as ice, echoing throughout the entire island.
"Old Li, pass the word down."
"Everyone stop cultivating and clean all the cannons on the warships."
He looked up at the distant horizon, where the black ghost ship flying the one-eyed flag had broken through the last veil of mist, revealing its menacing fangs.
"A guest has arrived."
Lu Sheng licked his lips, a gray glint suddenly appearing in his eyes.
"Furthermore, this guest..."
"There's a 'bone' that I lost."
