Martial Ascent to Divinity-Chapter 510 - 493: Eating Meat

Zhou Leng turned off the demonized watch and looked around.

Every time he saw the celestial pillar-like remnant bones, the shadows of the remnant bones in his eyes would bleed, and his eyes would fill with a bit more blood, like a container.

He took out a demonized drone and flew it into the sky.

Everything nearby was in full view.

The ruins of a giant city spread across the visible range, like an architectural desert.

In the ruins, the shadows of some trial takers could be seen faintly.

There were people of all races.

In the direction of the remnant bones, an invisible force shrouded the area, and the footage returned by the drone was nothing but a blur.

Even just watching the footage from the drone, the remnant bones in his eyes would bleed.

Putting away the drone, Zhou Leng did not set off immediately but left the original place and entered a more concealed spot to continue translating the celestial divine texts.

Some divine texts were too profound to fully understand.

Those few incomprehensible divine texts could very well contain important information for this Celestial Tier Trial.

After a full hour passed without completing the translation, he could only stop temporarily.

Staying in one place for a long time was not the best choice on the Great Battlefield with the Celestial Tier Trial.

The Jade Wings are likely cursing now.

Zhou Leng carefully checked his whole body, sensing the power of the Muscle Stage.

Then he got up and began to practice boxing slowly.

He first practiced the Establishing Image Chapter and the Flying Whale Chapter, while the Subduing Snake Chapter was too energy-consuming for the body, unsuitable for cultivation during dangerous times.

After finishing the two sets of movements, his whole body was warm, gradually adapting to the new body.

Then, he began cultivating other techniques.

As soon as the Star Gazing Technique operated, besides the rich Spiritual Qi in the world, a force far more ethereal than Spiritual Qi also surged in, as faint as moonlight, imperceptible in detail.

Zhou Leng guessed it might be the high-level mighty power and continued cultivating at ease.

Unknowingly, the Star Gazing True Qi operated in 108 cycles, causing a slight tremor in the Dantian.

A faint aura formed from the Dantian, elusive and unfathomable.

Zhou Leng opened his eyes, feeling and thinking in his heart.

"This power has been mentioned in the Martial Guard archives, the Giant Dragon notes, and the Demon Spirit World."

"As long as one cultivates on the Great Battlefield, mysterious power can be obtained, and even with bad luck, True Qi will gradually transform."

"Many genius martial artists experience power transformation and progression one step further after leaving the Great Battlefield, including many Martial Saints."

"I still cannot accurately sense this power yet, but if not unexpected, this power should be the ’True Power’ mentioned in the ancient texts of the Ancient River Sect and by Master Wu, fully named ’Starry Sky True Power’."

"True Divine Spirits use the Starry Sky True Power as their power source, supplemented by Star Power."

"It’s just that Starry Sky True Power exists only in a few places in the universe, almost impossible for Elementary Civilizations to encounter."

"The Inner Power of the Ancient River Sect was created to absorb True Power."

"Having absorbed True Power, my Star Gazing Technique finally achieved a perfect foundation, and my Dantian evolved."

In the perception of martial arts, the whole body’s True Qi and aura completely changed.

Like moonlight, like mercury, the power density was higher, yet felt lighter.

As long as he continued to absorb Starry Sky True Power, his True Qi and Dantian would continue to evolve until fully formed.

He then took out all the Star Conches, sat cross-legged on them, and cultivated the Undying Star Body.

Buzz...

The distant remnant bones suddenly trembled slightly, exploding into a sphere of blood-red light, rapidly spreading, instantly sweeping over a radius of thousands of kilometers.

Trial takers of all races looked up at the remnant bones, troubled with worry.

Although the blood light flickered and vanished quickly, without anything perceptible, its sudden formation must have its reasons.

Zhou Leng had originally been channeling the power of the Ceres illusion from the Will World, but in the instant when the blood light swept past, the Undying Star Body accelerated instantly.

In the blink of an eye, his entire body turned a bright red, as if it were a glowing red-hot iron piece.

The Undying Star Body generated immense suction, absorbing the starlight from the Star Conches and the power of the Ceres illusion.

At the same time, in the high sky of the Great Battlefield, the clouds trembled softly.

The endless extraterritorial Star Force twisted and descended upon Zhou Leng.

In an instant, in the ruined room where Zhou Leng was, starlight was dazzling, filling the room with brilliance.

The second character of the cross-shaped divine text on the Undying Star Body quickly transitioned from virtual to real.

Streams of star-lit electric currents crackled and popped, flowing and moving throughout his body like electric snakes, with great momentum.

The star force from the Ten Realms was too weak, while the dimensional space of the Demon Spirit Trial was too strong.

The star force of the Great Battlefield was the most suitable place for cultivation.

The Undying Star Body entered a normal cultivation state for the first time.

The electric light was blue and white, the body was bright red, and the power of the Undying Star Body increased step by step.

The strength of the body did not significantly enhance, but the peculiar power contained within the body rapidly increased.

After finishing cultivating the Undying Star Body, Zhou Leng sensed slightly and nodded gently.

Sure enough, just as I guessed before.

The Great Battlefield is not an ordinary world; at the very least, it’s part of an Intermediate Civilization, or possibly even part of a High-Level Civilization.

The efficiency of cultivating the Undying Star Body here is increased by more than a hundredfold.

Previously, cultivating the Undying Star Body on Blue Star was like a tortoise crawling, but here it’s like sitting on a rocket, shooting straight to the heavens.

Subsequently, cultivating the Star Phoenix Rejuvenation Technique.

The effect of this healing technique is truly immense. In previous battles, it was the Star Phoenix Rejuvenation Technique that enabled rapid recovery.

Zhou Leng sat cross-legged on the ground, and the power within his body continually condensed into Star Phoenix Feathers, merging into his spinal cord.

An hour later, Zhou Leng opened his eyes.

Previously, in the Tree-man World, after consuming various Power of Life medicinal fruits, the highest record in an hour was the condensation of 37 Star Phoenix Feathers.

This time, without using any medicinal fruits, merely absorbing the power from the Great Battlefield for cultivation, he condensed a total of 49 Star Phoenix Feathers in an hour.

High-level power, truly extraordinary.

At this rate, it won’t take many days for the Star Phoenix Feathers of the Undying Star Body to reach 2000.

Every time the Star Phoenix Feathers increase by a thousand, the power of the Star Phoenix Rejuvenation Technique significantly escalates.

Feeling the changes in his body meticulously, Zhou Leng rose and performed a set of punches to warm up, then retrieved a small steel ball, the size of a pinky finger tip, from his Magic Spirit Bag.

First, without using True Qi, he pinched it with two hard fingers.

The steel ball was slowly flattened.

Molding steel into a disc.

Then, using True Qi, he took out many steel balls, placing them in his hands.

With both hands together, he gently pressed.

With a lift of his hand, a handful of steel balls were compressed together.

Rubbing his hands, like kneading dough, he kneaded individual steel balls into a solid piece of steel.

Then, as if playing with clay, he kneaded and twisted the piece of steel into a large round ball.

Kneading steel like dough.

"The current Martial Arts Index should be 30, equivalent to an ordinary Great Innate, but slightly lacking compared to the top-notch few Great Innates."

"During the Muscle Stage, one must eat meat."

With that thought in mind, Zhou Leng took out the pre-cut meat of the eight-limbed Demon Dragon.

He couldn’t help but recall the odd eight-limbed Demon Dragon that inexplicably dragged him deep down, and then inexplicably roasted itself.

Before taking a bite, he first silently thanked Mother Nature for her gift, then tore open the charred dragon scales to reveal the roasted gelatinous dragon skin.

With a bite, his teeth clamped down, and dragon skin akin to ordinary steel was chewed into small pieces.

The Demon Dragon meat had a faint fishy stench at first because the blood and meat were fused together.

After a few chews, a rich meat aroma filled his mouth, with hints of grass, fungi, and fatty beef aromas, yet even more complex.

Upon swallowing, the intense power of the Giant Dragon and the strength of the Divine Blood of the Earth burst like flame, spreading throughout his body.

Zhou Leng’s body absorbed vast amounts of Divine Blood of the Earth, and by absorbing the pure Dragon Blood, he temporarily inherited the Giant Dragon bloodline, extracting every ounce of power from the dragon meat.

Eating it dry was somewhat stark, so he took out a stew pot, frying pan, wok, air fryer, and microwave, preparing the eight-limbed Demon Dragon meat using various methods simultaneously.

Stewing was more to the taste of Dragon Country people, but seemed to lose too much nutrition, so he opted for frying pan and air fryer.

Zhou Leng acted as both chef and diner, feasting heartily.

The eight-limbed Demon Dragon was over twenty meters long, with edible meat totaling about a hundred tons, 100,000 kilograms.

An ordinary person eating one kilogram a day would take 100,000 days, roughly 273 years, a lifetime to consume.

Fortunately, Zhou Leng himself weighed 2 tons and had the capacity to eat.

In one meal, he consumed a full 100 kilograms, about one and a half whole clean pigs.

The power of the eight-limbed Demon Dragon surged through his body like magma.

As an Innate Martial Artist, he doesn’t sweat even in the summer of Shuanghong City, but now he’s sweating all over from the heat.

Zhou Leng didn’t use his power, simply tidying up, he proceeded in the direction of the Cursed Heaven Bones, preparing for the first trial.

Unlike other stages, during the Muscle Stage, after eating meat, one does not need to use power but allows the body to naturally absorb it to achieve the optimal state.

The stronger the body, the more power it can absorb, greatly aiding future advancement to the Grandmaster Realm.

Hence many experts linger a long time at the Great Innate stage, and upon breaking through to the Grandmaster Realm, they quickly advance.

Wang Boxiong, Chen Shouhu, and others accumulated at the Great Innate for many years, after advancing to Grandmaster, it took less than a year to become Upper-Rank Grandmasters, heading straight for the Grandmaster level.

Zhou Leng, like a blazing furnace, running while dripping with sweat, occasionally drinking several liters of Mammoth Lake water.

Thanks to the Giant Body, Fierce Beast Power Marvelous Body, temporary Giant Dragon Bloodline, and Divine Blood Lava trial, coupled with a naturally powerful body, his efficiency in absorbing Demon Dragon blood and flesh exceeded all expectations.

Running, occasionally encountering some Aliens, neither party had any intention of fighting at a glance.

After a while, Zhou Leng noticed a Blue-skinned Sea Siren standing atop the ruins of a twenty-meter-tall building, arms crossed, looking down on him with a haughty gaze.

Zhou Leng originally intended to ignore it, but whereas other Great Innates would avert their gaze after a glance, this Blue-skinned Sea Siren not only stared but also slightly squinted its eyes, clearly ill-intentioned.

The Human Race and Sea Sirens are irreconcilable.

Zhou Leng initially wanted to test his strength during the Muscle Stage, but seeing the Sea Siren pretending to be superior, he couldn’t swallow his anger and abruptly changed course, charging towards the Blue-skinned Sea Siren like a leopard.

The Blue-skinned Sea Siren’s face changed drastically, speaking in broken Dragon Country language, "What do you mean? Do you not intend to complete the trial?"

The distance between them was not far, only five or six hundred meters. By the time it finished speaking, Zhou Leng had leapt onto the massive twenty-meter-high building, rushing to its front.

At that speed, over three hundred meters a second.

"You shouldn’t have provoked me, Sea Siren."
