Stronger with More Jobs-Chapter 257 - 173: He Has Always Been Like This—Piercing Through Heaven Without Hesitation
Every attempt to invoke the Heart Method felt like scraping a wound with a dull knife, bringing soul-piercing pain.
But Fang Qingyu’s will was like a rock.
Forcibly ignoring the pain that almost made one faint, in a nearly self-destructive way, he extremely slowly, extremely arduously pushed the Heart Method.
A wisp of crimson airflow, so faint it was almost negligible.
Like a flickering candle in the wind, it struggled to spill out from the cracked depths of the Tribulation Jade.
This faint airflow trudged along the severely damaged meridians, like scorching magma flowing through dried and cracked earth.
At the edges of the charred and curled wounds, the necrotic tissue made a faint, almost inaudible "sizzle" sound under the extreme heat, burning and carbonizing, peeling away bit by bit.
At the same time, the deeper muscular tissues, like a land that had long suffered drought meeting rain, greedily absorbed this faint trace of life from the Tribulation Fire, squirming extremely slowly, attempting to mend the terrifying wound.
Beneath the skin, the originally dim dark red lava patterns flickered extremely weakly, then returned to silence.
The entire restoration process was despairingly slow, accompanied by continuous, bone-penetrating scorching pain.
A weak gleam of candlelight.
In the boundless abyss of despair, it stubbornly flickered, attempting to ignite a trace of faint vitality.
...
"Roar—!!!"
The massive flesh mountain body of the Corrupt Nest Monarch let out a painful roar that reverberated throughout the entire core region!
The angry strikes of four top beings, with a world-shaking might!
The entire core region’s space violently shook, with chaotic energy currents rampaging like a storm.
The colossal body of the Corrupt Nest Monarch was repeatedly pushed back, with mountainous parts of its body constantly exploding into massive wounds, filthy blood flying everywhere, emitting deafening cries of pain.
And standing beside the flesh mountain, Sikong Zhen, dressed in a deep gray suit that remained immaculate, appeared somewhat disheveled. The fierce rock spike barriers he formed with the Power of Earth crumbled like sandcastles under the assault of Su Wanqing’s Purification Light Spear and Zheng Xiaohai’s stormy onslaught.
His figure flickered and shifted like a ghost between the shattered rocks, evading Chen Tiejun’s terrifying punches that could break mountains and rocks, his face dark.
"Tsk... truly... bothersome."
Sikong Zhen wiped a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth, caused by the residual energy shockwave, looking at the Corrupt Nest Monarch besieged and constantly roaring under the four’s attack, his face showing little defeat but rather a heart-palpitating, almost pathological, joyful smile.
That smile spread on his handsome yet cold face, appearing particularly eerie.
"Miss Su, esteemed seniors... indeed, an old blade doesn’t dull."
Sikong Zhen’s voice transmitted through the chaotic roar of energy, carrying a peculiar sense of ease, as if watching an exciting drama, "The power of your combined efforts has truly broadened my horizons."
He easily dodged a purification light wave brushing past him, as the rock layer beneath him softened like a water surface, allowing him to glide dozens of meters in an instant.
Then he stood still.
His gaze seemed to penetrate the rock wall, seeing the core area’s increasingly violently pulsating, life-wave-emitting dark red flesh membrane, the smile on his face growing more radiant, with even a hint of intoxication.
"However... haven’t you all forgotten something?"
Sikong Zhen spread his hands, with an elegant posture, yet his gaze was bone-chilling, like the tongue of a poisonous snake.
"Did you think the main event of this banquet... is this foolish Corrupt Nest? Or that... disobedient reptile?" He slightly tilted his head, his gaze seemingly penetrating the layers of rock wall, directed towards the direction of the Abyss where the Friend Serpent fell, the corner of his mouth curving into a cruel arc.
"How unfortunate, that snake... seems to have been prematurely ’dealt with’ by some uninvited pest. But no matter..." His eyes returned to that pulsating flesh membrane, his gaze burning and mad. "...the real ’god’ has already... awakened!"
As if to confirm his words!
Buzz——!!!
An indescribable, terrifying tremor originating from the deepest core erupted suddenly with that pulsating flesh membrane as the center!
It wasn’t a quake! It was a pulse!!
Like an ancient giant god waking and stretching its body!
Crack——!!!
Songdu City, outer camp.
The sunset’s afterglow had just stained the clouds at the sky’s edge red, while the camp area remained bustling and lively.
Suddenly, with no warning—— 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
Rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble!!!
The earth, like a giant beast turning over, violently and fiercely heaved up and down!
Piercing alarms, the loud crashes of temporary prefabricated houses collapsing, other people who hadn’t managed to evacuate, screams of utmost terror...
Instantly shredded the dusk!!!
The entire outskirts, in an apocalypse-like horrific earthquake, crazily trembled!
