Chapter 498: Chapter 366: 10-Day Advancement, the Thunder Flood Dragon’s Frenzy! (Part 2)

Until Su Mu’s figure completely disappeared into the distance, the fierce beasts hidden in the dense forest swallowed hard, only daring to take deep breaths again.

...

The giant Beast Cave has no sun or moon, but the air surrounding the Cave of Weightlessness is filled with a mysterious element that can gather sunlight and moonlight.

As a result, each layer of the Beast Cave will coalesce into a phantom Great Sun and bright moon.

In the Great River Region, the moonlight is tranquil, and all is peaceful.

No fierce beast dares to approach this area at night.

Moonlight pours over the Great River, the waters glistening brightly, and with the breathing of the Master of the River, the light trembles slightly, faintly revealing glimpses of Purple Thunder, as if using the moonlight for some special cultivation.

In the next second.

Like the sudden shattering of a silver bottle, the tranquility was instantly broken.

Amid an urgent howling sound, white waves breaking the sound barrier surged, and a streak of azure light cut through the sky like a cruise missile aimed directly at the Great River.

Moments later, the azure light settled above the Great River, revealing the silhouette of a tall, brawny man. This handsome man, with a resolute face, gazed down at the Great River.

"Big fellow, I’m here."

"Come out and fight!"

As the two voices fell, like rolling thunder, the dense forest on both banks of the river suddenly fell silent with the occasional roar of beasts.

All the fierce beasts knew that the Master of the River’s fury was about to descend, and they were terrified of being caught in it.

...

Beneath the glistening surface of the Great River.

The moment it sensed the arrival of the azure light, the Thunder Flood Dragon deep in the river was momentarily stunned, then suddenly lifted its head, its enormous dragon eyes filled with disbelief.

This aura...

Is it that human from yesterday?!

The Thunder Flood Dragon was visibly moved. The stronger one’s power, the more resilient the physical body, granting long lifespans, that’s a given, but when such strong beings are severely injured, the difficulty and time required for full recovery far exceed ordinary imagination.

It can often take several years, or even longer.

Yet the human youth, who seemed on the brink of death yesterday, had fully recovered from his injuries in just one mere day.

Judging by that aura, he even seemed stronger than yesterday?!

For a moment.

The Thunder Flood Dragon thought it was hallucinating.

Until the voice came from above.

"Big fellow, I’m here."

"Come out and fight!"

The next second.

The calm Great River suddenly surged into towering waves hundreds of feet high, under the roar of waves crashing against the shore, a gigantic water tornado thousands of meters high formed in an instant.

Zizla!

The Great River was abruptly cut in half by a shadow fast enough to be nearly invisible to the naked eye.

Boom!

In the night sky, it was as if a nuclear bomb had been dropped, then suddenly exploded; an enormous Martial Arts Golden Body, nearly a hundred meters tall, descended upon the land.

The Fire Gate flickered briefly and retracted into the body.

A Supreme Wheel emerged in the Sea of Consciousness, the Martial Saint State instantly activated!

Su Mu clenched his fist, endless flames gathered on his fist and he fiercely punched forward, meeting the incoming shadow.

In the Martial God State, Su Mu was nearly omniscient and omnipotent.

The shadow that sliced the Great River in half slowed infinitely in his eyes, revealing its form with perfect clarity; it was none other than the massive, scale-covered, more solid and sharp than a Tier Eight Grandmaster Level Weapon, massive tail of the Thunder Flood Dragon.

The fist and dragon’s tail collided violently, the terrifying explosion resounding through the air.

Then a massive shadow emerged from the depths of the Great River, a huge head surfaced on the river’s surface.

After a fierce clash with the dragon’s tail, Su Mu was pushed back several steps, smashing the riverbank, and cracks immediately extended for dozens of kilometers, feeling the sudden tearing pain across his whole body.

Su Mu took a slight breath, instead feeling blood boiling and excitement surging.

"Refreshing!"

"Big fellow, it seems you’re quite fired up, let me help you cool down."

The enormous dragon eyes of the Thunder Flood Dragon locked onto Su Mu, blood vessels rapidly filled with blood, though it was clearly the Thunder Flood Dragon, it somehow gave Su Mu the feeling that this big fellow was about to shoot fire from its eyes.

Crackla.

The Thunder Flood Dragon was seething upon seeing Su Mu; it now only wanted to crush the human before it, with thunder roaring between the heavens and earth, gathering around the Thunder Flood Dragon.

Then the Thunder Flood Dragon opened its massive mouth wide, and instantly Purple Thunder tore through the sky, shooting forth a terrifying bolt from its mouth, reminiscent of Godzilla’s destructive breath from movies.

"Just in time to test my progress during this period."

With a thought.

The five Immortal Cells in the center of the brows, heart, lungs, spleen, and kidneys were pushed to their limits by Su Mu, and then the Immortal Power fully infused into his arms.

Finally, Su Mu crossed his arms in front of his chest, intending to withstand the strike head-on.

Seeing this, a glint of coldness and disdain flashed in the Thunder Flood Dragon’s eyes.

A period?

With its intelligence, the Thunder Flood Dragon could understand Su Mu’s human language, and it had only been a day, yet it had become a period in this human’s words.

No matter what, in just one day, the Thunder Flood Dragon could hardly believe that this human could have made much progress in terms of strength.

In short, the human in front had become unusually arrogant after one day, even giving up the use of that fist technique it dreaded and opting to withstand it directly.

If that’s the case, then die!

Under the terrifying breath, the Martial Arts Golden Body was torn apart, and even with Immortal Power protecting him, at the moment of contact, the golden light-flashing skin collapsed in an instant and turned blackened.

Then the flesh and veins exposed under the breath were instantly burned, ignited by the thunder and turning to charcoal.

However, the scene the Thunder Flood Dragon anticipated, where the breath would directly pierce through, did not occur.

In the Thunder Flood Dragon’s trembling pupils, its terrifying breath disappeared entirely upon touching the human’s muscles and bones; the human indeed withstood it.

Su Mu glanced at his charred arms, taking a breath of cold air.

"It really hurts a bit..."

"It seems that with five Immortal Cells, even with the Martial God State’s boost, it’s still too hard to withstand the power of a Half-Step Saint Realm; there’s still a long way to go." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"To withstand a Half-Step Saint Realm, at least about ten... are needed."

In a flash of thought, Su Mu’s heart pounded powerfully, then pure golden blood gushed out, absorbed by the Immortal Cells, and then transformed into Immortal Power.

Then, with the dual repair of the Fixed Star Body Refining Technique and Immortal Power, within a breath, the charred layer on the flesh dispersed, and the veins and flesh began to regenerate slowly.

Were the flesh and veins regenerating at a speed visible to the naked eye?!

Seeing this, a great shock flashed in the Thunder Flood Dragon’s eyes; among beings of the same level, beasts could practically crush human martial artists in terms of physical body.

The human in front was not nearly as strong as the Thunder Flood Dragon, but now this human possessed an extraordinary self-healing ability that even it did not have.

A robust body that even it, a Half-Step Saint Realm, did not possess?!

Could it be...

In the moment of distraction, Su Mu’s fist landed.

"Big guy, you got distracted!"

"But thank you, the Thunder Power you unleashed was quite pure."

Recovering, the Thunder Flood Dragon saw Su Mu devouring the thunder power dissipating between heaven and earth while attacking, causing its eyes to twitch with rage.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Next, the battle turned fierce, with the Thunder Flood Dragon launching deadly blows, thunder surging wildly. After a few seconds, a small body flew out with a muffled grunt.

"That was exhilarating, big guy, see you next time."

Roar!

An incredibly angry roar suddenly erupted from behind, and then a furious voice rang between heaven and earth.

"You brat, if you have the guts..."

"Stay here for me!"

A disjoined, awkward but exceptionally furious human voice came from behind.

Su Mu was stunned as he broke through the encirclement, his pupils suddenly shrinking, but he didn’t look back.

Until he landed back in the dense forest hundreds of kilometers away, an angry roaring sound still faintly came from the direction of the Great River Region.

"It seems it wasn’t an illusion, it really was that big guy speaking..."

"Can the beasts of this world actually speak human language?!"

Su Mu pulled his body out of the deep pit with a look of astonishment; it was his first time hearing a beast speak human language.

"No matter... let’s cultivate first."

The surrounding wind and snow froze, and the Time Stopwatch reappeared.
