I Attained Invincibility In The Real World-Chapter 677 - 374: Spiritual Martial Arts and Reinvigoration
Chapter 677: Chapter 374: Spiritual Martial Arts and Reinvigoration
Chen Sheng.
An insignificant Homo sapiens whose total cultivation time barely reached three months.
Yet, he was able to grind the Heavenly Beings’ King, who had lived for tens of thousands of years and had fully absorbed the Origin Power, into the ground.
To this day,
even after arriving in a broader Heaven and Earth,
and witnessing countless strong existences,
the Heavenly Beings’ King still could not forget the encounter at the World Core.
He could not forget looking down on Chen Sheng, as one looks upon ants.
He could not forget the pain of his body being torn apart in an instant when the other’s attack landed, and the sense of absolute despair at being unable to resist.
Whenever alone, he seemed to hear the questioning voices of his deceased subordinates incessantly by his side.
When will you be able to kill Chen Sheng!?!
Aren’t you the king of the Heavenly Beings? How come you can’t even resist a Homo sapiens!?
“Are you worthy of being our king!?!!”
These questioning voices were deafening, striking directly at the soul.
Only through continuous battling,
pouring his own inner pain onto others,
could the Heavenly Beings’ King feel a slight relief.
But this was merely a temporary solution.
As long as Chen Sheng was not eliminated,
he would always be the thorn in his heart,
an inescapable shadow,
and a spike lying across his chest.
It left him no peace.
Thus,
the Heavenly Beings’ King did not care whether or not he personally killed Chen Sheng.
Receiving the message of his death would be enough.
Therefore,
the long-awaited moment had finally arrived.
He activated his communicator that resembled a wristwatch.
A floating holographic screen hovered before his eyes.
[Unread Message (1)]
“….”
Gazing at the unread message displayed on the communicator, the Heavenly Beings’ King’s excitement was hard to contain, causing his palms to begin trembling slightly.
Several deep breaths in succession.
Closing his eyes.
Only after calming his emotions slightly did the Heavenly Beings’ King open the screen.
The next second,
the mission report, drafted on behalf of Ash Annihilation’s subordinates from the headquarters on Apocalypse Star, appeared before the Heavenly Beings’ King.
When he first opened the report,
excitement indescribable was on the Heavenly Beings’ King’s face.
He thought he would see the demon within him exorcised.
He himself would finally be able to put the past behind and advance unimpeded on the road ahead.
However,
the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment often is.
[Mission Failure]
[All Members Perished]
As the eight characters entered his field of vision,
the Heavenly Beings’ King’s face froze with excitement.
His gaze also became somewhat vacant.
His eyes slowly moved down.
The mission report detailed the proceedings of this mission.
From the Earless Man squad tracking the enemy to arriving at the world where Chen Sheng resided, the conflict between the two sides began.
The Heavenly Beings’ King read every word.
Terms like “not withstanding a single blow” and “overwhelming force” among others,
caused his pupils to constrict violently, making breathing more difficult.
His features twisted uncontrollably.
“No… it’s impossible.”
He had encountered an Earless Man before.
The terrifying aura on the opponent was simply not something his present self could contend with.
Moreover,
when battling Chen Sheng, the Earless Man was accompanied by nine subordinates of Starburst level.
How could ten lose to one? How could it happen?!
The Heavenly Beings’ King instinctively refused to believe it.
But there it was, written clearly in the mission report; how could it be false?
The gap between himself and Chen Sheng was growing ever wider…
Realizing this,
the mental state that the Heavenly Beings’ King had barely managed to build up in this time was on the verge of collapse.
Thump!
All the strength in his body seemed to be drained in that moment.
His massive body fell to his knees with a thunderous noise.
“How could this be…”
“What on earth am I supposed to do?”
Not far away,
Asgard, who had been forcefully connecting with others’ spirits in a spiritual fusion, keenly noticed the situation over here.
With a thump,
the elf in his hands fell to the ground like a broken puppet.
“Are you alright?”
He gently floated over.
His eyes, filled with confusion, cast their gaze.
Although the two hadn’t known each other for long,
Asgard could almost be said to have joined the squad under the “coercion and inducement” of the Heavenly Beings’ King.
But in their time together,
the Heavenly Beings’ King had given him a rather good impression.
FEROCIOUS and brave, with deep machinations.
No matter the situation, he was always able to maintain a cool head.
As an old subordinate,
Asgard had witnessed countless lower-level subordinates climb their way up, growing stronger and stronger.
And those people often only possessed one of the qualities that the Heavenly Beings’ King had.
That was also why,
as someone who was perennially slacking off, Asgard had joined the team so readily.
He was optimistic about the Heavenly Beings’ King’s future,
believing that in time, he would become an incredibly powerful being among the subordinates.
Sticking with him now meant he could slack off more justifiably in the future.
But,
Asgard had never thought he would see such a fearful and anxious demeanor on the Heavenly Beings’ King.
What exactly had he seen?
“What happened?”
At that moment,
Fu Qiu, having absorbed the Origin Power, emerged from the spatial channel.
In response to his question,
Asgard shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he did not know.
Seeing this,
Fu Qiu could only turn his gaze to the Heavenly Beings’ King.
Then,
he noticed the lit-up screen on his wrist communicator.
That was…
Fu Qiu’s eyes narrowed.
Although he only caught a glimpse,
unlike Asgard, who joined halfway,
Fu Qiu had already learned a lot about the past of the Heavenly Beings’ King through the system during his time working at the Reincarnation Pool.
He also knew about Chen Sheng’s existence and the heart disease of the Heavenly Beings’ King.
With just bits and pieces of information,
Fu Qiu could already generally guess what had happened.
However,
even with an understanding of the Heavenly Beings’ King’s ordeal and the long-standing shadow cast by Chen Sheng,
