Seeking Immortality in a Bizarre World-Chapter 589 - 584: Terrifying Giant Strength, Ten Thousand Times Gravity_1
Jia Ren’s stature had reached 30,000 zhang and still showed no sign of stopping, though the speed of his growth had slowed.
The combination of the Dusk Treasured Light with the Great Divine Power Law of Heaven and Earth was nothing short of miraculous. The two together represented a qualitative leap.
A body 30,000 zhang tall was enough to tread upon the earth and support the heavens with its head. Such height was terrifying, shocking to all who heard of it.
The power of the Law of Heaven and Earth depended on the body’s size. The greater the change in the Law of Heaven and Earth state, the more formidable the increase in power.
A hundred zhang was just the beginning. For every additional 100 zhang, overall strength would double.
Thirty thousand zhang meant that power had increased 300 times over the original baseline. The stronger the base strength, the more terrifying the amplification became.
Not every Mahayana Stage Cultivator could achieve a stature of 30,000 zhang, even when the Law of Heaven and Earth was cultivated to the Grandmaster Level. But for Jia Ren, 30,000 zhang was not the limit.
Once his cultivation reached the Body Integration Realm and Mahayana Realm, the upper limit would be raised even further.
What incredible strength!
Jia Ren felt an incomparably terrifying Spiritual Energy flowing within him, an amount more than 100 times his own limit of Spiritual Power. The massive influx of nature’s spiritual energy bestowed unparalleled strength, far surpassing his usual state.
This amount would further increase over time as the Dusk Treasured Light devoured a large quantity of nature’s spiritual energy. The upper limit kept rising, and the growth of his physique seemed boundless.
Jia Ren tried to move his body. A seemingly trivial stretch caused the incredibly firm space to shatter as if it were made of paper.
It was as if he had been living in a world made of an eggshell all this time—extremely fragile, barely able to withstand even the mere movement of his body. For the first time in his life, he felt such terrible power, so strong that he felt he could destroy the Mysterious Realm with his physical body alone.
Compared to Jia Ren, Xue Chengyang and Wen Ren Li were like ants to a human. The height of Jia Ren’s ankle alone was comparable to a mountain.
Above his knees, his form was submerged in the clouds, his upper body unseen. The 100-zhang tall Silver Horned Giant Python seemed like nothing more than an oversized caterpillar in comparison.
The two continued their attacks, which landed upon the body of the Desolate Spirit Titan.
The range of the Tiger Capturing Dragon Seizing Hand was only the size of one of Jia Ren’s fingernails, and the Demon Binding Rope could only wrap around an ankle. Their Divine Skills and Spiritual Treasure attacks were like flea bites, merely breaking the skin.
The Law of Heaven and Earth is too outrageous!
Run!!!
The two had watched from afar the great battle between the Lingbao Sect, the Xuantiandao Sect, and the forces from Beyond the Heavens, where Ancestor Ji Kong had once displayed the Law of Heaven and Earth with great prowess.
Compared to that, Jia Ren’s display was not even one-tenth as powerful; it was like the difference between an infant and an adult.
The same Great Divine Power far exceeded Ancestor Ji Kong’s, which was unbelievable.
It would have been one thing if Jia Ren were merely large—just physically bloated, an empty shell posing no great threat to them. But the Great Divine Power Law of Heaven and Earth was not just about increasing one’s size.
What it increased was not only strength but also overall fortitude. It granted physical toughness corresponding to the enlarged body, on top of enhanced power.
The effortlessly shattered space proved just how terrifying this man’s strength was. Jia Ren’s palm strike was undoubtedly more than they could bear.
The two lost all will to fight; escaping was the wise choice.
"Stay there!"
"Ten thousand times gravity!"
Jia Ren had obtained the Acquired Wutu Spirit Body and awakened an Innate Divine Ability: Earth Element Gravity.
However, this Divine Skill had previously only reached a few hundred times gravity, which wasn’t very useful in battles between Lianxu Stage and Body Integration Realm cultivators.
Under the state of Law of Heaven and Earth, with the increased contact surface between his body and the earth, the Earth Element Gravity Divine Power surged, rocketing the gravity to 10,000 times its normal level.
The two figures, who had taken flight with their Escape Light, plummeted from the sky, crashing straight to the ground. The horrific gravity pressed down, and although their Spiritual Power could barely mitigate and resist it, their flesh and bones cried out under the unbearable stress.
They had reached the Body Integration Realm, their spiritual and physical selves united, yet even their strong bodies could hardly withstand it. If they were still at the Lianxu Stage, a mere 10,000 times gravity would have crushed them into mud.
Lying on the ground, they struggled to run, their Escape Speed slowed to a crawl.
The ambient Spiritual Energy was undisturbed, no Extinguishing Spirit Zone had formed, and cultivators at the Body Integration Realm could still use Instantaneous Movement. By all rights, the two should have already fled over 100,000 li away. How could they still be within his reach?
Jia Ren took a step, closing the distance to the two who had fled several dozen li.
Huh, seems like I stepped on something? There’s something under my foot...
He lifted his foot, only to find beneath the remnant of his footprint a faint glimpse of silver snake skin and flesh turned to mud.
Just now, his stride had been a bit too large, and he had inadvertently crushed the Seventh-order Silver Horned Thunder Python.
A Seventh-order Demon Beast, comparable to a Body Integration Realm cultivator, had been trampled to death as easily as a caterpillar, without him feeling the slightest resistance.
Xue Chengyang’s face was full of shock. Wen Ren Li’s eyes brimmed with despair, blood streaming from his seven orifices; he was badly injured. He had a special contract with the Silver Horned Thunder Python; with his principal Monster Pet dead, he too suffered the repercussions.
Although the Seventh-order Silver Horned Thunder Python had been rapidly matured using a secret technique, it was still a Seventh-order Demon Beast. They never imagined it would be so utterly vulnerable before a Law of Heaven and Earth giant.
"Spare my life," Wen Ren Li pleaded. "I will offer up two Sixth Rank Flame Sparrows with both hands. I am willing to compensate for my actions."
Seeing the gruesome death of the Seventh-order Demon Beast, Wen Ren Li lost all hope and immediately capitulated.
Even though Jia Ren was at the Lianxu Stage, the combination of the Dusk Treasured Light and the Great Divine Power Law of Heaven and Earth had already reached an awe-inspiring level. The pressure from a strong Body Integration Realm cultivator was nothing compared to the terror Jia Ren induced.
What I want, I will take myself!
"Capture!"
With a thought, Jia Ren forcefully reached out to grab Wen Ren Li.
He had not forgotten the purpose of his trip: the Flame Sparrows. First, he had to secure them, avoiding overexertion that might kill the Flame Sparrows and delay the Vermilion Bird’s ancestral return plan.
Wen Ren Li’s body, influenced by the changing Earth Elemental Gravity and the black hole-like suction from Jia Ren’s palm, flew straight towards him.
"Ten Thousand Beasts Blood, lure with the body, monster spirit..."
Wen Ren Li, sensing his impending death, hurriedly used his Divine Skill. His body began to demonify, gradually enlarging. It seemed he was on the verge of breaking free from the Earth Elemental Gravity and the suction force of Jia Ren’s palm.
Regrettably, he was still one step too late. Like a chick, he had already fallen into Jia Ren’s grasp.
"Spirit Devouring Treasure Art!"
The Spiritual Treasure protecting Wen Ren Li had just emerged when it was consumed by the light of the Spirit Devouring Treasure Art. It quickly dimmed and transformed into pure Heavenly Treasure Spirit Power that surged into Jia Ren’s body.
Without protection, his treasures were Jia Ren’s for the taking.
Jia Ren found the Control Spirit Bag that had previously held the Flame Sparrows. Feeling the two Flame Sparrows inside, he let out a sigh of relief.
"This was not my intention; I was merely instigated by Xue Chengyang," Wen Ren Li begged pitifully. "Spare my life, please..."
Jia Ren’s expression did not change in the slightest. He bent his finger and flicked it towards Wen Ren Li.
Forgiving you is not my job; what I need to do is kill you.
BOOM!
It was like thunder from the ninth heaven. A large area of space collapsed, forming a long-lasting, irreparable black hole. Wen Ren Li vanished without a trace, his body and Divine Soul completely obliterated by the flick.
Killing a Body Integration Realm cultivator was incredibly simple.
Huh, he escaped?
Jia Ren looked towards where Xue Chengyang had been. The place was empty, not a trace of his aura could be felt, and Heart-Mind Sensing (Technique) could not detect him.
The Zhuo Family and the Xue Family had been opposed for a long time; naturally, they had means to counteract Heart-Mind Sensing (Technique) probes.
Some treasure similar to the Virtual Spirit Pill?
Jia Ren’s palm manifested the Searching Shadows Hand, emitting a vast expanse of ghostly light that spread in all directions. Hundreds of li away, a blurry figure took shape; its body gave off a shadowy, not entirely corporeal, impression.
"Trample the Void!"
Jia Ren didn’t waste any time. He lifted his foot and stomped hard on the ground.
The terrifying power seemed as if it would pierce through the core of the Mysterious Realm. Fissures spread out like wildly growing giant vines in all directions. Each chasm was bottomless, akin to an abyss.
Terrifying shockwaves spread. Wherever they passed, a tide of black holes that annihilated space was formed.
Although Xue Chengyang had entered a shadow state, he could not withstand the terrifying impact. His protective Spiritual Treasure’s light flared up, only to be extinguished in an instant. His bones and flesh disintegrated instantly, turning into a bloody pulp with the shockwave and vanishing into the Void.
This shockwave swept across a thousand li, its force gradually diminishing. In its wake, only a tide of spatial black holes stretching for a thousand li remained.
It seemed to form a symbiotic zone between the Mysterious Realm and the Void.
Is he dead just like that?
I haven’t even fully enjoyed the pleasure of stacking Divine Powers!
Jia Ren knew the commotion was too great this time. He stopped further elevating the Law of Heaven and Earth and guided the massive influx of nature’s spiritual energy into the Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl.
This time I went too far. It’s not too late to display it again once I reach the Body Integration Realm.
Compared to the Lianxu Stage, the Body Integration Realm was a qualitative leap. Although his combat strength was immense, he didn’t have the confidence to fight and win against the Golden-Winged Peng Bird or Mahayana Stage cultivators.
Of course, having such a rare chance to indulge himself, he naturally wouldn’t miss it. Since he had decided to turn the Taming Demon Sect’s territory into an Extinguishing Spirit Zone, he would naturally suck dry the surrounding nature’s spiritual energy to compensate the Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl.
「Taming Demon Sect.」
Thousands of cultivators felt the land quake violently, as if the very earth of the Mysterious Realm was being completely overturned. The terrifying tide of spatial black holes kept spreading, nearly frightening the cultivators of the Taming Demon Sect into wetting themselves. They hastily activated the Market’s and Sect’s great protective formations.
This destructive force thankfully occurred in a remote area, not affecting the Sect and Market, so the casualties were not severe. Before they could catch their breath, a series of bad news arrived.
"Grand Elder," a panicked voice reported, "the surrounding nature’s spiritual energy is disappearing quickly, and our Spiritual Power is also depleting at an alarming rate..."
"Disaster has struck!" another cried out. "The Sect Master has fallen!"
The cultivators of the Taming Demon Sect felt heavy-hearted. None dared to venture towards the region of spatial black holes. That area was too dangerous; once entered, it would surely lead to certain death and the annihilation of one’s soul.
Similar news was transmitted within the Xue Family: the family’s pillar of support, their Sea-Calming Divine Needle, was gone...
Lingbao Sect, Xuantiandao Sect, Taiqing Sect, Samsara Valley, Shenxiao Sect, Shimo Sect... all successively sensed the disturbance. Even from tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of li away, they could still feel the ground shaking, as if the entire Mysterious Realm was trembling.
They each cast probing gazes in the direction of the Taming Demon Sect and dispatched cultivators to investigate.
The season of trouble!
The Mysterious Realm could do with less uncertainty...
The Mysterious Realm’s Sinful Denizens and the scourge of Bizarre Demons were an endless problem. With the Bizarre Demon issue still unresolved, it really couldn’t withstand more turmoil.
