Chapter 591 - 269: Symphony of Flesh and Blood (Part 4)
War declared on all the rotten foundations of the Jiang Family!!!
With the will of certain death, the resolve to die and not live, war declared!!!
"Kill——!!!"
Jiang Hongyuan’s last shred of sanity was completely ignited, his eyes turning red as he let out a hysterical roar.
Photos, truth, none of it mattered in the face of the highest emergency plan’s red warning light, or the potential "accident" the ancestors might face.
Clearing obstructions and bringing back the ancestors is his only thought at the moment.
With his command, dozens of ferocious core guards of the Jiang Family and elites from the Ministry of Internal Affairs surged forth like released tigers, wrapped in ferocious qi blood and icy killing intent, charging at Jiang Chengyue and the thin but steadfast defense line behind him!
The cold wind howled past the grand portico of the City Lord’s Mansion.
Bringing a biting chill.
Yet it also seemed to stir a mote of... something called hope.
...
On the other side.
In the Blood-colored Space.
Boom——!!!
The fear that suddenly appeared on Jiang Taixuan’s withered face, from the golden Thunderous Heavenly Might, vanished in an instant, like snow thrown into a furnace.
One hundred and fifty years of long years.
Had already ground fear into a nearly numb undertone.
He had gone through the purgatory of corpse mountains and seas of blood at the Ice Fortress, experienced the despair of origin burning, oil exhausted, lamp dried, and struggled under the shadow of the Gluttonous Stomach for more than fifty years.
Though the golden Thunder Domain before him was perilous and unpredictable.
After calming down from the initial fear, and after some time of observation.
Jiang Taixuan also noticed something.
The Heavenly Punishment seems to be targeting this little child specifically?!
If that’s the case.
Then it is no longer a pure dead end!
In the depths of his murky eyes, the panic from life instincts was replaced by calculation.
The old man suddenly looked up, staring intently at the figure struggling painfully in the endless golden thunder, yet still holding the blade high, squeezing a hoarse and twisted laugh from his throat:
"Little child...I underestimated you!"
"Didn’t expect you to have such a means of mutual destruction! To provoke such Heavenly Might, even I am startled...good! Very good!!"
The laughter suddenly shifted to a venomous roar, carrying a twisted pleasure of understanding the opponent’s dire straits:
"But some things...will only lead to self-destruction!!! Want to drag me down too? Dream on!!!"
The moment his shout ended.
Buzz——!!!
The entire thousand-meter blood-colored Beast Fighting Arena’s flesh walls, like a swamp thrown with a giant rock, began to boil and wriggle madly!
Crazed with hysteria, like a sacrificial rage.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
The towering dark red flesh walls on both sides, as if pulled by invisible giant hands, cascaded down like a waterfall of blood and flesh, wrapped with viscous blood plasma and acrid wind, pouring and enveloping Jiang Taixuan’s hunched figure.
"Heh...heh..."
Jiang Taixuan’s gaunt body was instantly submerged by this violently incoming flood of flesh and blood.
Instead of resisting, he spread his arms as if embracing a long-lost lover, a hint of sick satisfaction even gracing his face.
The viscous flesh and blood, like living sludge.
Layer by layer, circle by circle, enveloped, entwined, and compressed at an astonishing speed.
The "creak" of bones being compressed was distinctly audible.
In just two or three breaths!
Only a massive, over-three-meter diameter grotesque flesh sphere remained, continually undulating with dark red plasma flowing on its surface!
On the surface of the flesh sphere, countless thick dark red blood vessels frantically shot out from the depths of the surrounding flesh walls like live snakes, stabbing deeply into the flesh sphere like greedy parasites.
Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!
The moment the blood vessels pierced in, the entire Gluttonous Stomach seemed to emit a satisfied groan.
Dark red nearly black viscous blood surged continuously, fiercely pouring into the massive flesh sphere through those pulsating vessels.
Thump...thump...
From inside the flesh sphere came a dull throb, like a terrifying embryo being incubated.
The volume of the flesh sphere swelled slightly with the influx of blood, and the charred black marks left by the remnants of golden thunder were washed away at a speed visible to the naked eye by the surging new flesh covering and repairing them.
It was absorbing the power of the entire Gluttonous Stomach!
Using this gigantic flesh furnace as both a shield and nourishment, to fight against the imposing Heavenly Might!
Meanwhile, in midair.
After Fang Qingyu shouted that resolute challenge, he could no longer care about Jiang Taixuan’s transformation.
The tearing pain that ravaged every part of him, penetrating bone and soul, felt like countless red-hot steel needles crazily stabbing and gnawing inside his body.
The frenzied golden lightning was ripping his flesh from the inside out!
The Jade Bone wailed, under an unbearable burden, producing a "creak" sound, with a network of charred black cracks appearing on its surface.
Flesh carbonized and peeled away.
The world before his eyes was nothing but a pure golden thunderstorm, his vision seared into a blur, his ears roared with deafening thunder and the desperate pounding of his own heart!
"Add points!!!"
Amidst the roar of his soul, Fang Qingyu mercilessly slammed the last, hope-like, 2 skill points onto [Jade Bone].
Buzz——!
[Jade Bone: 21→23]
A cool, resilient warmth surged instantly from the depths of the bones in every part of his body.
The Jade Bone, on the brink of collapse, covered in charred cracks, greedily absorbed this surge of new power like parched wood encountering rain.
The speed of closing the cracks suddenly accelerated.
The charred marks were replaced by new, more glossy and resilient bone material.
Though they still emitted a horrifying "sizzle" under the frenzied burning of the golden thunder, constantly generating new tiny cracks and being forcefully repaired, the destructive force that could instantly vaporize a person was finally forcibly suppressed a little.
