Chapter 537: Chapter 443: The Body of the Ancient God, Rapid Deterioration
Deep within the Blood Realm, inside a vast underground palace beneath the Taibola Volcano.
This is the place where Su Heng uses to meditate in seclusion. The surrounding air is filled with a scorching and decaying scent, and the thick walls are carved with blood-colored runes that flicker with light. In a corner, numerous consumed demonic remains are carelessly strewn, some skulls still faintly radiate a jade-like luster.
In the center of the secret chamber.
Su Heng’s huge body is sitting cross-legged on the rough and darkened floor.
At this moment, he has resumed his original form, his massive body like a dark cloud overshadowing the sky, filling the entire space with an oppressive presence; black scales shimmer with crackling sparks.
Whoo!
...
His breathing is heavy and sluggish.
Each breath makes the ground around him buzz and tremble, and even the distant magma lakes boil and bubble up in response.
As time passes, Su Heng’s breathing quickens, and the sound of air rushing through the corridors of the palace is like hundreds of wild beasts roaring in the dark forest.
Swoosh!
When that sound sharpens to its peak.
Su Heng opens his eyes.
The extreme spiritual power transforms his pupils, making them resemble two golden swords shooting outward, landing forcefully on the distant rock walls.
The walls instantly crack and sink in, and then large chunks of rock roll down, falling into the dark red magma below, briefly pausing before being swallowed and melted.
As the sound of the exploding rocks gradually quiets down.
Su Heng safely awakens as well.
He first waves his hand, turning one entire side of the dark wall into a smooth mirror.
Then he sees his highly dragon-transformed body in it; his face covered with black, fierce scales, a thick and solid chin, and scythe-like pale teeth protruding violently from his black lips. And then there are the pupils, radiating golden light, with a tangible authority that makes them shine like two little suns in the slightly gloomy palace.
"Hu!”
Su Heng exhales a mouthful of stale air, with a hint of satisfaction on his face.
He stands up from the ground, moving slowly, but the strength in every motion is not to be underestimated, the friction sound between scales like hammers striking on iron felt, and sparks fly from his body. This underground palace is located directly below the temple, with a main thoroughfare that leads directly to the outside world.
Bang!
With Su Heng taking a step forward, his long tail sways.
Tearing through the air, leaving scratches on the pillars.
His body gradually shrinks, and the power that had been emanating outward is reabsorbed into his body.
The captivating golden light in his eyes dims somewhat, and by the time Su Heng stands at the entrance of the palace, his height has returned to around three meters sixty.
His sturdy body is draped in a black robe.
Wind blows from the distant wilderness, the robe fluttering, the rock-solid muscles on his chest exposed to the air.
Su Heng squints his eyes, looking ahead.
This meditation must have taken quite some time, and perhaps Li Hongxiu had some gains again, as great changes seem to have occurred outside.
The world is vast and boundless, and the sky is without thin clouds. A blood-colored light scatters down from the distant sky, and the Blood River, which divides the two continents of north and south, is like a curtain dropped down by the gods.
Beneath the endless sky, there lies a vast field, where a gigantic tree stands proudly.
It has nine branches, thick and knotted like the arms of a giant, reaching towards the sky, its leaves shimmering with the luster of brass, seeming even more divine against the backdrop of the blood-colored sky. The ancient runes from the Heavenly Spirit realm wrap around it like a rainbow, with huge dragon-winged beasts darting in and out.
This tree, thousands of meters tall,
Is the Spirit Void Dao Wood that Su Heng took great pains to bring back from the Heavenly Spirit realm.
After being fully refined and controlled by Su Heng, like one of his avatars, it was placed in the Blood Realm where it has taken root anew, already becoming a marvelous spectacle.
As for those dragon beasts.
Su Heng is not clear where they came from.
But before, he mentioned to Li Hongxiu that after gaining control of the origin, they could try to restore the ecosystem of the Blood Realm.
The more flourishing the ecology within the Blood Realm, the more benefits Li Hongxiu could reap, enhancing her cultivation.
These dragon beasts must have been found from the outside world during the time he was in meditation.
In such contemplation.
Su Heng’s thoughts move, and his consciousness instantly connects with the Spirit Void Dao Wood.
As Su Heng’s spiritual power has significantly increased during his seclusion, coupled with the “Soul Path” controlled through the Spirit Void Dao Wood;
Even without considering his powerful original form, in terms of just techniques, Su Heng would not be inferior to those at the Destruction Great Power Level, and might even surpass them. After all, as an Innate Spirit Root, the Spirit Void Dao Wood has much deeper re
Li Hongxiu’s smile faded, and her face grew more serious.
"My Lord.” Standing next to Su Heng, following his gaze to look at the vast Blood River that hung like a curtain in the distance, she said, “This is not a good sign. During your retreat, the outside environment has started to deteriorate rapidly, with several Mythical Battlefields beginning to spiral out of control. The Blood Realm is even expanding, almost engulfing the entire Skull Plain.”
