NOVPUBThe gloomy man, Cheng Pengyun, licked his crimson tongue across his lips.
"Crack crack crack!"
The very next second, a ferocious aura burst forth within Cheng Pengyun’s body, rocketing towards the sky. His originally lean frame rapidly swelled, his skin turning into a shiny silver hue. Muscles bulged out aggressively, stretching the loose clothing taut.
In just an instant, Cheng Pengyun had transformed into a nearly three-meter-tall metal-like little giant. His body became exceedingly heavy, and with every stance he took, even the ground beneath him caved in, radiating a thick, indestructible aura. At the center of his brow, a faintly glowing silvery crystal tinged with a hint of blood flickered.
"This is the aura of a Bloodline Divine Skill... Indeed, this man of the Ancient Demon Sect possesses a Blood Divine Seed. Furthermore, the Bloodline Divine Skill within this Blood Divine Seed is far more powerful than Luo Huang’s, exceeding by countless times, and it’s even stronger than 99% of the pseudo Divine Skills!"
Su Changkong slightly narrowed his eyes.
The people of the Ancient Demon Sect deceived certain noble families into crafting Blood Divine Seeds, which were useless to outsiders, but in reality, the Ancient Demon Sect controlled the method to utilize the Blood Divine Seeds. They could even devour other Blood Divine Seeds to strengthen their own.
Thus, each of the five men before him possessed a powerful Blood Divine Seed. Although their seeds did not match a true Divine Seed, they were easier to refine. Once a Blood Divine Seed was fully refined and mastered, it granted far superior combat power than an ordinary person!
"I’ve never even heard of this Ancient Demon Sect before... yet their heritage and strength are so formidable. This turmoil has indeed drawn out many powerful forces!"
Su Changkong thought to himself, observing Cheng Pengyun who had unleashed the power of the Blood Divine Seed, his aura completely overwhelming those of Gu Lie and Mo Junling. No wonder they could force Ji Xuexiao into a defensive position.
"Kill!"
Having activated his Blood Divine Seed, Cheng Pengyun, like a metallic giant, let out a low roar. He then took a massive step forward, the ground shaking thunderously beneath his feet. In almost an instant, he appeared before Su Changkong. His right palm raised high and clenched into a Palm Blade, he brought it chopping down towards Su Changkong’s left shoulder!
Hiss!
This Palm Blade was a fusion of strength and speed, warping the space it sliced through. Before it even struck, the condensed air pressure caused the ground beneath to cave in and crack.
Cheng Pengyun’s blow, after activating his Blood Divine Seed, was terrifying, like a silver lightning bolt striking down from the heavens. It looked as though Su Changkong had no time to react as the Palm Blade furiously chopped down onto his left shoulder.
"Crack crack crack!"
The moment the Palm Blade struck, the earth around them trembled violently, a ferocious crack tearing through the land and extending hundreds of meters out, an intimation of an earth-shattering might!
"What?"
Yet Cheng Pengyun’s pupils constricted, as Su Changkong stood firmly in place, unmoving. The Palm Blade that had furiously chopped down on Su Changkong’s shoulder was like a child striking an adult with all his might—a blow that could not inflict the slightest injury on him.
"Not bad... A bit lacking compared to the Heavenly Dragon Battle Puppet, but still far from enough against me!"
Su Changkong raised his head to look at Cheng Pengyun as if he were looking at a dead man.
Su Changkong, after consuming a hundred Alien Beasts, experienced a rapid growth in his physique. Once his Giant Whale Skill reached the 11th Level, the Giant Whale True Qi filled every inch of his flesh and bones. His physical strength was comparable to a Martial Saint’s, rivaling that of a Heavenly Dragon Battle Puppet nourished for two to three thousand years within the Transforming Dragon Gate.
With this mighty physique alone, he was capable of overwhelmingly defeating ninety-nine percent of the Innate realm!
Truly, Cheng Pengyun was powerful, and when he activated the Divine Skills of the Blood Divine Seed, each punch and palm could split mountains and break stones, but to Su Changkong, he was like an adult facing a child. Even if the child threw punches with all their might, the most they could do was make him feel pain—that was the limit.
"Die!"
Cheng Pengyun’s eyelids twitched, his body hair stood on end, realizing that the terror of this Dao Wufeng before him far surpassed his imagination. Almost instinctively, the veins on his silver skin swelled like earthworms, pushing his strength to the ultimate limit as his other large hand furiously reached for Su Changkong’s face, intending to crush his head.
"It’s you who will die!"
It was also at this moment that Su Changkong suddenly moved; he took a half-step forward and lunged with a punch!
"Boom!"
This simple punch threw out a fierce wind, lifting up rocks the size of human heads in its wake.
Though Su Changkong was the latter to throw a punch, his powerful physique’s explosive force allowed his fist to land first, ferociously striking Cheng Pengyun’s muscular and knotted abdomen, covered by a thin layer of pale silver.
"Bang!"
When that punch landed on Cheng Pengyun, he felt a sense of powerlessness as if a mayfly was shaking a tree, a mantis blocking a chariot, like a child being hit by a speeding carriage.
"Crack crack crack!"
The wild force of the punch roared like a massive beast, tearing through Cheng Pengyun’s abdominal muscles, breaking his bones, and detonating like a bomb, turning his internal organs into pulp; his body was blasted in two from the waist.
"Rumble!"
Cheng Pengyun’s tall and burly body flew backwards like a cannonball, smashing heavily into the mountain wall of the valley, causing an indentation and dislodging a great deal of rock, resulting in a landslide.
"I… lost?"
Blood mixed with pieces of his innards poured from Cheng Pengyun’s mouth, his body split in two at the waist, embedded in the mountain wall. His consciousness began to disperse, his eyes filled with confusion. In a single encounter… he was defeated?
He had refined a Blood Divine Seed and devoured others, activating the bloodline Divine Skills within, to become impervious to all harm, untouchable even when standing still—below Martial Saint, few could harm a hair on him—even pseudo Divine Skills could be resisted with his bare hands.
Yet within a single punch from Su Changkong, he was blasted in half at the waist, the power of that punch had surpassed the scope of the Innate, approaching the Level of a Martial Saint!
The light in Cheng Pengyun’s eyes dissipated, his life force rapidly extinguished, his body split into two, with his organs blasted to pieces. Such severe injuries were beyond salvation, even by gods!
