Martial Ascent to Divinity-Chapter 507 - 490: Entry
"How could this happen? It shouldn’t be. Three days ago, I was still chatting with her. These days the company has been so busy with dismembering Demons, I didn’t get in touch, who would have known, who would have known..." Li Linhan released Feng Wenhao, his lips trembling.
He glanced at the bluish-purple mark on Feng Wenhao’s wrist, and said, "Xiaofeng, I’m sorry, I used too much force..."
"It’s nothing, it’s nothing. For a Martial Artist, this is nothing. Don’t worry or get worked up, just wait at home, our Martial Guard will definitely do everything to crack the case. A vice-principal from Yunhua Martial Arts Academy personally called, the higher-ups are very concerned about Zhang Xinglie’s family."
"Yes, the higher-ups are very concerned, very concerned..." Li Linhan’s lips were still trembling.
Feng Wenhao’s eyes reddened, his nose soured, he took a deep breath, and said: "Zhou Leng seems to be participating in some trial, many people are looking for him, probably he’s not on Blue Star. When he gets back to Blue Star, I’ll inform him immediately. By the way, Third Brother has also advanced to Innate, let him see if he can help."
"Yes, yes..."
Li Linhan hurriedly picked up the phone, worn everywhere, and called Li Yuanhe.
"Yuanhe, your Aunt Zhang Meiqin was taken by the Demon Worship Sect..."
Feng Wenhao glanced at Li Linhan, sighed softly, and returned to the team.
Wei Hong followed behind Deng Zhijue, looked at the unit door, and said: "Zhou Leng is in unit one, Zhang Xinglie in unit two, Zhang Xiaoxiao and another case happened in unit three, getting closer and closer..."
"Don’t jinx it." Feng Wenhao cursed.
Wei Hong, the monitor, gave a sheepish smile, saying nothing more.
Feng Wenhao whispered, "Instructor, Li Linhan is Zhou Leng’s uncle, they’re like family. That Zhang Meiqin is likely also Li Linhan’s... good friend."
Deng Zhijue nodded and said: "Don’t worry, with one call from Yunhua Martial Arts Academy, we have to go all out here. In the past few months, the Demon Worship Sect has gone crazy grabbing people, in the countries of the South Pacific, they grab people right off the streets, it’s insane."
"Why?" Feng Wenhao asked.
"It’s definitely another Demon blood sacrifice, like last time with the eighteen school joint exams." Deng Zhijue said offhandedly.
"Celestial Ladder exams... really..." Feng Wenhao and his classmates exchanged looks.
Back then, the order came from above to keep things quiet, in retrospect, the situation might have been far more severe than an ordinary Demon attack.
It’s just like this large-scale abduction, which has reached a maniacal level.
Feng Wenhao sighed and said: "Where is Zhou Leng? Why does he never come back..."
Deng Zhijue was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "He’s different from us, he’s preparing for the future."
"Is there still a future?" Feng Wenhao looked at the bruise on his wrist, it didn’t hurt at all.
Deng Zhijue looked down at the Demonized Watch, gave a light sigh.
"Any news?"
"Not about Zhang Meiqin, but about Song Juesi, Elder Song, he originally advanced to Grandmaster early, and today officially leaves seclusion."
Wei Hong wanted to laugh but couldn’t, and just said: "It’s a good thing for humanity to gain another Grandmaster."
Deng Zhijue said: "This is the real nature of the world and the country, even on the same day, the same second, there will be good and bad happenings simultaneously."
Giant Royal Court, Great Battlefield entrance.
Giants, Martial Artists, Steel Dwarves, Tree-men, and Demon Spirit Masters gathered from all directions, entering the entrance.
Among them were also a few Demons, Beastmen, or Sea Sirens.
Fierce Beast World. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
A strange divine light descended, the earth silently split open, forming a massive chasm stretching miles.
One by one, Demigod Fierce Beasts, several meters tall, charged with their offspring, kicking them into the chasm.
Some were bounced out, some entered and disappeared.
Soon after, a group of Eight-toothed Mammoths rushed to the vicinity of the divine light.
A fierce black-yellow dog, about the size of a small calf, stood on the back of a young Eight-toothed Mammoth, its hair flying about, like a cape draped around it.
The black-yellow fierce dog and the Eight-toothed Mammoth jumped into the chasm, disappearing without a trace.
Dragon Mountain.
All major races had mostly entered, only a few stayed at the entrance.
Suddenly, from within the black light shield, Zhou Leng’s voice sounded.
"What’s happening?"
Jade Wings reached out, and the black shield dispersed.
Zhou Leng stood up.
Having gone through Thunder Bone Forging, ordinary people would grow twenty to thirty centimeters taller, leading to Bone Forging later-stage Martial Artists commonly reaching over two meters, even two and a half meters.
Zhou Leng had actually shrunk to about 1.9 meters, his muscles evenly distributed, his body had shrunk a bit, still solid, but compared to before, he looked a bit more elegant.
However, everyone felt that Zhou Leng, newly promoted yet unable to fully control his power, passively emitted an aura that was exceptionally formidable.
Innate divides into True Liquid, Blood Shock, Bone Forging, and Muscle, reaching Perfection leads to Great Innate.
Clearly in Muscle Innate, the strength of his aura was no weaker than Great Innate.
Martial Artists carefully observed Zhou Leng’s exposed skin, glowing faintly, like jade or steel.
Skin like jade and steel, nearing Grandmaster level.
Zhou Leng stepped forward, swaying slightly, deliberately controlled, then landed steadily.
The crowd exchanged glances; how significant was the change in this promotion if even Muscle Innate walked unsteadily?
Zhou Leng halted his steps, his Martial Arts perception active.
The densest natural human bone is about 2 grams per cubic centimeter.
The densest substance on Blue Star is osmium, only about 23 grams per cubic centimeter, 11 times that of human’s hardest bone.
But now, the body’s density is at least 25 times that of ordinary humans, surpassing all current metals.
Only metal that has undergone demonization by a Demon Spirit Master can reach this density.
Theoretically, once an ordinary martial artist advances to Muscle Innate, their bones are greatly strengthened, but there is not much change in form.
But now, Zhou Leng discovered a peculiar fascia layer over his bones, which could greatly protect the bones and cushion impacts.
From now on, the bones will no longer shatter easily.
At the same time, some new muscles emerged in the body, and they were a bit thicker than before.
The density of the muscles also increased significantly.
After leaving the Tree-man World, the overall body density was about thirteen times that of an ordinary person.
Now, it directly increased to about nineteen times.
This far exceeds the normal enhancement; even a Grandmaster’s body cannot be this strong.
The body weight reached two tons.
Zhou Leng circulated True Qi, took a few steps, and quickly adapted.
With a clasp of his fists, he said, "Thank you all for guarding me. I’m deeply grateful."
Xu Ming sighed, "In at most two years, you might surpass us. By then, even if we wanted to help, we couldn’t."
"Congratulations on advancing to Muscle Innate; becoming a Grandmaster is just around the corner," Zhao He smiled.
The others also gave their congratulations one after another.
Zhou Leng returned the courtesy with gratitude.
Suddenly, a group of people appeared in the distance. Behind the light curtains on both sides of the square, the aura shook, as if fierce creatures were about to emerge.
Everyone stood stiffly, not daring to move.
Between heaven and earth, time seemed to stand still, colors faded, leaving only black and white.
Only that group of demons remained in color, continuously advancing.
The person at the forefront of the group consisted of three parts.
The head was a flat black light disk, about the size of a large plate.
Below the black sun head, a hollow blood-golden armor floated, adorned with intricate golden patterns on the surface, with no limbs exposed.
Twenty-four arm-thick blood-colored intestines protruded from the neck of the armor, spreading in all directions, like twenty-four blood-colored petals, wriggling and floating, surrounding the black sun head.
The intestines of the Black Sun were his body.
Unlike ordinary Black Sun intestines, this particular Black Sun head seemed to have a strong magnetic force, drawing everyone towards him.
Though that black sun head was merely a black light disc, and appeared to contain nothing, whoever looked at it felt a sense of awe.
Zhou Leng saw it for the first time, but someone recognized him at a glance.
Celestial Calamity Envoy.
Using the intestines of the Black Sun, it carried a trace of the power of the Celestial Calamity God.
The head of the Celestial Calamity Envoy turned to look behind the light screens, and then walked towards the entrance on his own.
A few demons followed behind him, and the Undying Knight on horseback rode, trailing after the Celestial Calamity Envoy.
The Celestial Calamity Envoy, while walking, glanced around the environment.
Casually, like chatting, he said to the people behind him, "The civilization of the Dragon World is too crude, far inferior to the Demon Purgatory. I’ve heard that the Demon Spirit World and Blue Star, though not very strong, have their unique features. Once out of the Great Battlefield, I’ll visit the Demon Spirit World and Blue Star to experience the exotic ambiance."
After finishing, his gaze swept over Zhou Leng and the others.
Aiden, Zhao He, Rao Mingxian, and Jade Wings all slightly lowered their heads, not daring to meet the Celestial Calamity Envoy’s eyes.
Xu Ming and other human martial artists stood erect, not bowing their heads.
In the instant the Celestial Calamity Envoy looked over, Zhou Leng felt the world dim, all others vanished, leaving only the Celestial Calamity Envoy.
Standing alone, he was ten thousand feet tall, overlooking the world.
A terrifying pressure descended, like an invisible giant hand pressing down on the head.
Cold sweat appeared all over, and his legs shook slightly.
Zhou Leng gritted his teeth, strained his neck, and lifted his head, resisting the invisible force.
What an identity the Celestial Calamity Envoy had; he simply glanced over without caring about anyone’s response.
Even the demigod giants behind the light curtains were not worth his attention.
As he approached the entrance to the Great Battlefield, he told the Undying Knight, "A few small ones you’ve defeated before have come back; this time, don’t be careless."
"As you command." The Undying Knight glanced at Zhou Leng and Xu Ming and the others
The Celestial Calamity Envoy was like an emperor in the arena; whether Zhou Leng or the Undying Knight lived or died, they were just two gladiators.
"His aura..."
The Celestial Calamity Envoy sensed something was off with Zhou Leng’s aura, yet he had clearly absorbed a high-level power but stopped. But with the entrance in sight, he couldn’t be bothered to care and walked right in.
At the moment of the Celestial Calamity Envoy’s entry into the Great Battlefield, everyone, including the demigod giant dragon hiding behind the light curtain, heaved a sigh of relief.
Jade Wings exhaled deeply, "Luckily, I have Her Majesty the Crimson Queen’s token. Otherwise, I wouldn’t dare enter with the Celestial Calamity Envoy inside."
"Oh?" Zhou Leng looked at Jade Wings.
Jade Wings whispered, "Stay as far away from the Celestial Calamity Envoy as possible. If he makes a move, he could kill us all, not a single person would be left, even a Grandmaster wouldn’t stand a chance. Just run when you see him, it’s not embarrassing, if you can get away."
"Let’s go."
Zhou Leng said, as he and the others gradually walked into the gorge entrance.
