Chapter 562: Chapter 561: Mortal Realm! Nine Tribulations Thunder Prison! Annihilating Two Half-Step Emperor Realms
This was all thanks to Chu Sheng taking advantage of their little game of hide-and-seek.
He had exhausted his remaining sixty million Life Essence.
All to brute-force the cultivation of this Golden Silkworm Gu King!
Sixty million might sound like a terrifyingly large number.
But as one’s cultivation level rises, the amount of essence required for each upgrade also multiplies.
If he had used it to upgrade those Low Tier Insect Beasts, raising a single one from the Seventh-Grade Early Stage to the Seventh Grade Middle Stage would require a full three hundred points of Life Essence.
Upgrading two hundred thousand of them would instantly burn through all sixty million.
A minor stage increase would be completely useless and have no decisive effect when facing a Half-Step Emperor Realm expert.
So after a quick calculation, Chu Sheng decided it was better to concentrate all his resources on a single point!
He would feed it all directly to this Golden Silkworm Gu King with its extremely high potential!
He would forcibly create a super-fighter for himself at the First Layer of the Life and Death Realm!
And just like that, the tables were turned.
On one side was the Ancient Fierce Beast wreathed in demonic flames.
On the other, the ancient Royal Gu, resplendent in golden light.
Both were ancient remnant species with noble Bloodlines.
And both possessed the heaven-defying combat power of the First Layer of the Life and Death Realm!
The two behemoths instantly collided in mid-air, their battle so fierce it plunged the world into chaos!
Meanwhile, Chu Sheng cunningly activated his [Boundless Wings]. With a flicker, he once again put distance between himself and the fight.
He left the center of the battlefield, took out a few more Elixirs, and plunged his proboscis in to start drinking!
’No rush... Take your time. I have all day to wear you down.’
Everyone below couldn’t even manage a shocked expression anymore.
Their facial nerves were completely numb.
What the hell was going on?
How did this mosquito just pull another First-Layer Life and Death Realm trump card out of nowhere in the middle of a fight?
Was this thing even something a person could fight?
Anyone with eyes could see.
The situation on the field was now completely clear.
A Life and Death Realm Insect Beast and a Life and Death Realm stone statue.
They had Luo Guosha and the Ancient Fierce Beast completely tied down, leaving them unable to free themselves.
And the mosquito could turn tail and flee whenever it pleased.
This seemingly inescapable deathtrap, a situation of certain death with no possible escape...
...had been so casually dismantled by it!
High above, on the skyscraper, Xuanyuan Hong was losing his mind.
He shoved aside the railing in front of him, his eyes filled with thick killing intent and unease.
"No! We absolutely cannot let this mosquito leave the Capital City alive!"
"With this freakish growth rate, how terrifying will it become in the future?"
"I’ve seen its file. A year ago, it was just an ordinary White-striped Aedes Mosquito!!"
"In just one short year, it can now casually kill even those at the First Layer of the Life and Death Realm!"
"If we let it go today, how will our Xuanyuan Family ever hope to control it in the future?!"
Xuanyuan Hong turned and roared at his old servant, Zhao Li.
"Contact the family immediately!"
"Request the ancestor to send all the family’s hidden experts at the Second Layer of the Life and Death Realm, or even the Third Layer!"
"I must kill it today!!"
However, the old servant Zhao Li grabbed the hysterical Xuanyuan Hong.
He shook his head, forcing Xuanyuan Hong to calm down.
"Young Master, you absolutely must not be impulsive!"
"Don’t forget, our Xuanyuan Family is at the most critical stage of its preparations."
"The ancestor already gave a direct order: all external conflicts are unimportant. We absolutely cannot cause complications at this crucial juncture!"
"We simply don’t have the authority right now to have the family mobilize those higher-level Half-Step Emperor Realm experts."
Xuanyuan Hong gritted his teeth, his chest heaving, his expression fluctuating between anger and gloom.
He was seething.
Zhao Li patted his shoulder and comforted him in a low voice.
"Rest assured, Young Master."
"Once our Xuanyuan Family’s great plan, a century in the making, succeeds..."
"...our Xuanyuan Family will become the supreme existence in this world, the only one with a Divine Realm expert!"
"At that time, some bullshit Divine Son slot will be completely unimportant."
"So what if that mosquito’s talent defies the heavens?"
A trace of fanatical yearning flashed in Zhao Li’s eyes.
"Before a true Divine Realm, all living beings are ants. All living beings... are equal!"
After listening, Xuanyuan Hong took a deep breath.
He knew Zhao Li was right; the family’s grand plan could not afford any mistakes.
He could only nod helplessly, forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart and falling into silence.
「Meanwhile」
On the battlefield in mid-air.
Luo Guosha, who had been constantly suppressed by the Witch Race stone statue, was already thinking of retreating.
The more he fought, the more frightened he became, and the less confident he grew.
He was already an old fossil with one foot in the grave, relying on a Secret Technique to cling to life until today.
Every time he attacked with all his might, he was burning what little Life Force he had left.
He discovered in horror that he simply couldn’t shatter this damned stone statue anytime soon.
If he kept fighting this meaningless battle, he wasn’t risking his life against the mosquito, he was risking it against his own Lifespan!
’I’ve done enough to repay the Liu Family’s favor. It’s not worth throwing my life away for this.’
Luo Guosha cursed inwardly and prepared to find a chance to slip away.
However, in the heat of battle,
In order to dodge a powerful, heavy punch from the statue, his body retreated uncontrollably through the air.
Before he knew it, he was forced near the combat range of the Ancient Fierce Beast.
The distance between the man and the beast instantly closed to less than ten meters!
In that split second.
Chu Sheng, who had been hiding in the distance, taking Elixirs and watching the show, suddenly had his eyes light up.
’An opportunity!’
SWISH!
Chu Sheng unhesitatingly activated Myriad Insect Avatar, instantly crossing several thousand meters and teleporting right between Luo Guosha and the Ancient Fierce Beast!
Under the stunned and terrified gazes of the man and the beast,
Chu Sheng’s smug Soul Power message echoed in their minds.
"Gentlemen, it’s time to end the game~"
The next second.
Chu Sheng unhesitatingly activated [Mortal Realm]!
This was the Mortal Realm that had reached the Great Success Realm after his evolution!
Its power was on a completely different level now.
Even against a Half-Step Emperor Realm expert at the First Layer of the Life and Death Realm, it could still produce an extremely terrifying suppressive effect!
BUZZ!
A gray, invisible force field, with Chu Sheng at its center, instantly enveloped the surrounding ten-meter area.
Luo Guosha and the Ancient Fierce Beast had no time to react before they were firmly trapped within this force field.
Instantly!
The man and beast felt as if the vast, ocean-like power within their bodies was being forcibly stripped away by some unreasonable law!
Their auras plummeted at a speed visible to the naked eye!
In just the blink of an eye, their cultivation realms nearly fell below the threshold of Half-Step Emperor Realm, dropping to the level of the Peak of Emperor Realm!
"Th-This... What is this evil technique?!"
Luo Guosha, scared out of his wits, let out a bloodcurdling scream.
But the Golden Silkworm Gu King that Chu Sheng had brute-forced with resources, and that tireless Witch Race stone statue...
They didn’t care what realm their opponents were in now.
Seizing the opportunity while the man and beast’s power was greatly reduced, the statue’s giant fists and the Royal Gu’s sharp claws descended upon them with destructive force!
Luo Guosha and the Ancient Fierce Beast completely panicked.
How could they even think of counter-attacking? Right now, there was only one thought in their minds.
Run!
’What kind of monster is this mosquito? How can it have such an absurd ability to strip away one’s Cultivation!’
Luo Guosha’s hands formed a flurry of Sealing Techniques, preparing to tear open Space and flee.
But that Witch Race statue stuck to him like glue.
A heavy roundhouse kick swept over, forcefully interrupting his spatial teleportation!
’Trying to run?’
’Too late!’
Chu Sheng wasn’t going to give them any more chances.
He violently drained all the medicinal power that had just barely recovered in his body.
And once again, without hesitation, activated the Tenth Gear of the Silent Annihilation Battle Armor!
But this time, he didn’t release the single-target, off-the-charts damage of Amaterasu’s Eye.
But rather, another ultimate trump card in his hand, one for area-of-effect destruction!
Nine Tribulations Thunder Prison!!!
Once released, this Skill would instantly drain all of his current Qi Blood Power and Mental Power to create a terrifying, boundless purgatory of lightning.
And now, Chu Sheng had the base stats of an Early Stage King-level, plus a tenfold amplification from the Tenth Gear Silent Annihilation Battle Armor, and ten percent Comprehension of the Law of Thunder!
He had already amplified this skill’s power to a terrifying degree!
RUMBLE—!!!
At the edge of the sky, lightning instantly erupted.
Purple lightning, like a raging ocean, poured down from the void, instantly drowning Luo Guosha and the Ancient Fierce Beast!
The power of this terrifying lightning purgatory was simply appalling.
Even though it was an area-of-effect attack, with such an extreme amplification, it was enough to instantly kill any expert at the Peak of Emperor Realm!
After being weakened by the Mortal Realm, Luo Guosha and the ancient behemoth couldn’t even let out a scream from within the terrifying sea of lightning that resembled the second coming of a world-ending Celestial Tribulation.
Not even two seconds had passed.
The raging lightning dissipated.
In mid-air, only two clumps of charred ash remained, scattering and drifting down with the cold high-altitude wind.
Their Divine Souls were obliterated!
Not even a single speck of dust was left!
Three experts at the First Layer of the Life and Death Realm.
Two men, one beast.
Completely annihilated!!!
At this moment.
The entirety of Capital City University, and even most of the Capital City...
Everyone who witnessed this scene was stunned speechless by the incomprehensible shock!
The entire city was struck with terror!
