Martial Arts Genius with Proficiency System-Chapter 898 - 399: Walking the Path of the Gods as a Human
At present, this state can only indicate that these three deities of the Red Eye Race are being devoured by something even more terrifying.
Watching their deity possibly being devoured, yet unable to do anything, the feeling of despair and unknown fear towards the devourer made this Great Sacrifice unable to remain calm.
If at this moment, he could calmly observe his deity, he would find neat and uniform... teeth marks at the dissipating gap!
...
In the unknown Divine Space, the Sacred Bone Tree that originally stood atop the Strange Mountain has mostly been devoured by Su Tu.
Only some debris remained on the ground.
The enormous skull was taken down by him, held in his arms, with pure and unique forces surging within it.
It felt dangerous, yet irresistibly attractive.
As for this kind of power, Su Tu’s way of dealing with it was...
"Slurp!!"
He sucked through a non-existent straw as if drinking bubble tea, directly absorbing all the power into his body.
In an instant, the white bone hair that occupied the entire mountain wall began to rapidly weather and wither with Su Tu’s ’bubble tea sucking’ motion.
Within a few blinks, the skull started to shrink gradually, finally reduced to the size of a normal human’s head, and cracks appeared on the head bone as most of the unique power had been devoured by Su Tu.
Then, Su Tu grabbed both sides of the skull with his hands, forcibly prying it open, and absorbed all the remaining scattered power.
He seemed to have truly transformed into an ever-unsatisfied Taotie, discarding the now worthless skull.
He tilted his head, as if discovering something else, stride towards the spot where he had cleaned out the Bone Tree, and exerted force underfoot.
Rumble!!
The entire mountain started trembling at that moment, and then, liquid resembling Jade Marrow unexpectedly gushed out from under his feet like a fountain.
Seeing this scene, the pale light in Su Tu’s eyes brightened even more, and without hesitation, he opened his mouth wide, stubbornly blocking off the fountain without letting a single drop escape.
"My goodness... Is this... Is he still part of the Human Race?!
"No, isn’t he really a humanoid Taotie?! I remember that only the Human Race existed then, all other races were gone.."
The Tomb Guardian Spirit in the Divine World watched the mad Su Tu in front of him, feeling immensely astonished, even doubting his own eyes for a moment.
This was the Divine World!!
To some extent, this place was the deity’s original self, only missing consciousness, and even he did not know what dangers this independent world might hold.
Originally thought that Su Tu would cautiously explore and probe everything.
But heck, turns out he’s treating the Divine World like a buffet!!!
"Moreover, this guy doesn’t seem to be entirely controlled by the Taotie Tribulation, I have a feeling he’s intentionally regaining his sanity..."
The Tomb Guardian Spirit was unsure about his suspicion.
Su Tu continued to devour the power that erupted from the mountain.
Just as the Tomb Guardian Spirit had guessed, Su Tu’s self-awareness had returned, but to say this didn’t quite encapsulate the whole truth.
Upon the outbreak of the Taotie Tribulation, his consciousness was indeed affected, devoured by an insatiable appetite.
But as that appetite was satisfied, Su Tu gradually regained self-awareness, able to suppress the appetite.
Yet he discovered some matters, leading him not to suppress the appetite but to maintain self-awareness while devouring as much of it as possible.
Upon regaining self-awareness, he realized his own longing was also being satisfied.
Meaning his inherent desire was being fulfilled through ’eating’.
However, eating was merely a surface action, while the deeper essence was acquiring energy through the act.
In other words, he had previously desired the energy found within this Strange Mountain, Bone Tree, and Skull.
They were the deity’s essence, thus, one could say, he was longing... for divine power!!
Eating is not the correct gesture to acquire these powers, otherwise, Su Tu would not have felt that helplessness earlier.
Therefore, everything can be considered a coincidence and his luck.
Upon the arrival of the Taotie Tribulation, his body would be occupied by endless cravings, simultaneously undergoing transformations during the calamity, capable of converting everything devoured into pure energy.
This was why he could absorb these energies through eating.
Given this situation, Su Tu feared that once his consciousness returned, the calamity suppressed, he might lose this transformation. Although the Primordial Flesh Body has similar features, he wouldn’t take this risk.
Thus, chose this approach as of now. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
"My reasoning should be correct, yet it feels a bit odd, feeling as if I’ve become a game player while controlling my own flesh."
Su Tu couldn’t help but internally complain.
At the moment, Su Tu’s perspective was quite peculiar, his consciousness seemed split into two parts: one alert, the other occupied by cravings.
Finally, once he drank the entire fountain, without hesitation, he chose the return of his self-awareness.
Buzz!!
In an instant, the pale light faded from Su Tu’s eyes, and the ravenous cravings came abruptly to an end.
Crackle!
As the Jade Marrow dried up, the entire Strange Mountain’s color rapidly transformed, the original black-brown gradually disappeared.
This Strange Mountain unexpectedly began to exhibit a jade texture.
Yet now, Su Tu had no mind to pay attention to these because...
The energies he devoured... began to erupt!!!
Rumble!!!
It was an energy so immense it’s beyond verbal depiction, not Qi nor so-called Life Energy but a higher-dimensional power.
Upon Su Tu’s consciousness return, this energy seemed to sense something, bursting forth from his Eight Extraordinary Meridians and apertures within his body.
Without any opportunity to prepare, he abruptly sensed an unprecedented sense of crisis.
Crack!!
On the surface of his body, cracks rapidly emerged, with blood-red menacing muscles exposed through these gaps.
At this moment, Su Tu’s expression appeared fierce, while he clasped his hands together, forcibly suppressing the forces within with his flesh, but even the Primordial Body appeared somewhat strained.
"No!! Where did I misunderstand!!"
"The desire within myself was incited by that pattern, absorbing these powers was guided by the Divine Seal, which wouldn’t be wrong."
"What went wrong!!"
In such life-or-death crisis, Su Tu’s thinking became more calm and clear, unconsciously activating Inference of Heaven.
At that moment, it was as though he stood outside the Star River, transcending Celestial Dao’s dimension, contemplating everything with absolute macro and absolute logic.
For a brief moment, conversations previously with the Tomb Guardian Spirit surfaced in his mind.
If general Star River is likened to a massive bubble, then deities themselves are smaller bubbles, both individual entities, worlds, and their own Star River Universe.
Gods are tiny bubbles adhered to the large bubble, through some means, absorb its oxygen, thus growing strong.
But now that he’d devoured the deities’ power, to control and absorb it, what he needed was...
"To achieve a Star River within myself, transforming myself into the ’bubble’!"
As soon as this thought emerged.
Su Tu finally understood what this path named ’God-Slaying’ truly represented.
Deities devour the vitality of Star River, while he could devour divine vitality!!!
Walking the path of gods as a member of the Human Race!!
In the next moment...
Buzz Buzz!!
The Divine Seal on Su Tu’s hand emitted a faint glow, countless realizations and thoughts suddenly surged in Su Tu’s mind.
Su Tu relaxed his body, sat cross-legged, as the high-dimensional energy within began to slowly converge, then under his guidance, continued to flow, create, and journey throughout his body.
Taking the Dantian as the singularity, energy exploded, followed by the birth and death of all things, stardust scattered...
Constructing the Star River Prototype within himself using high-dimensional power!!
The Tomb Guardian Spirit, witnessing all this, was left speechless in shock, only after a long while, his voice grew remarkably solemn.
"This is a true demon; it’s unimaginable that he is not the one meant for the cataclysm. The Silver Throne absolutely had a problem!"
"The final era has arrived, I don’t know what you intend to do, but surely you have deviated from your intended purpose!"
