One Pound Meat, One More Attribute Point

Chapter 538: Chapter 444 Doomsday Signs, Go Out for a Walk

“Hmm?”

Hearing what Li Hongxiu said, Su Heng was startled, “Even you can’t control the continuous expansion of the Blood Realm?”

Li Hongxiu seemed to take a deep breath before speaking somewhat helplessly, “Master, just as a person cannot suffocate themselves by controlling their breathing, though I am the World Will of the Blood Realm, there are some fundamental laws within the Blood Realm that I cannot change. Moreover, even destroying the Blood Realm wouldn’t work, because this power comes from even deeper within the Longevity Heaven.”

“I see…”

Su Heng suddenly understood, and with a smile, he reached out to touch Li Hongxiu’s hair.

After becoming the World Will, Li Hongxiu’s body was equivalent to an illusory projection; if one tried to touch it, their hand would pass directly through.

But that was before the fusion with the Spirit Void Dao Wood.

Su Heng’s spiritual power had enhanced and transformed, further combined with the Dao Path he had just mastered.

A soft white light shimmered in the center of his palm, and at this moment, a cool and smooth sensation immediately traveled up his fingers. The black, fine hair, smooth as water, flowed gently through Su Heng’s fingers without any effort. Li Hongxiu seemed to not expect such a thing to happen, as she suddenly widened her eyes.

Then she squinted.

Like a cat, she hugged Su Heng’s palm and gently rubbed it against her cheek.

Then, somewhat reluctantly, she let go of his hand.

As his number one lackey, Su Heng indeed had a special fondness for Li Hongxiu. Especially after she had ascended to be the Blood Realm Will, she could be of great assistance to Su Heng in many aspects.

Patiently waiting for Li Hongxiu to recover from the sensation just now, Su Heng continued to inquire, “You just mentioned that the external environment is collapsing and rapidly deteriorating, what happened?”

“Do you still remember the Beiyue King?”

“Of course,” Su Heng spoke. This man was the first Heavenly Awakening Realm expert he had encountered.

And from the information gathered afterwards, even among those in the Heavenly Awakening Realm, Beiyue King was no weakling.

“He’s dead,” said Li Hongxiu. “In Linjiang’s Canglan State, there is a Mythical Battlefield that went out of control recently, unleashing a horde of demons. As the Heavenly King of the Human Race, Beiyue King went to suppress it but then disappeared.

Later on, his body was found in a destroyed city, having died a grisly death with only half a torso left, his rotting head impaled by a long spear on the broken city wall.”

“Tsk tsk…”

Su Heng fell silent for a moment, then said, “I didn’t have a good first impression of the guy, we nearly broke into a fight back then. I didn’t expect him to have some guts.”

“What’s the current situation in Linjiang?”

“According to the information collected, Canglan State has become a wasteland, with millions dead.”

“Hasn’t anyone from Central State come to deal with it?” Su Heng casually asked while the figure of Ji Huaxi flashed in front of his eyes, wondering how she was faring now.

In these days of great chaos, even a Realm Lord Realm powerhouse might not stand high above everything.

“Central State is now too preoccupied with its own troubles to care about the life and death of the regions,” sighed Li Hongxiu, speaking in a rather sentimental tone.

Being from the lower classes, she had seen the struggles of life and felt some sorrow for these events.

But only just a little bit…

Having stayed by Su Heng’s side for a long time, Li Hongxiu’s moral baseline was rapidly eroding.

“That makes sense,” Su Heng nodded. Although he was uncertain about the situation in Wanyuan Plain, he surmised that Ji Huaxi might not be able to cope with the trouble she was likely facing. If he had to lend a hand…

But apart from the flesh of the Demon Gods in the Mythical Battlefield, the Zhou Dynasty must also be made to pay dearly.

Although he and Ji Huaxi had roamed the Longevity Heaven for a month, and had some rapport by now, different matters had to be settled on their own merits.

These things still needed to be accounted for transparently.

Especially since the Zhou Dynasty had controlled this land for a thousand years, who knew what treasures were stuffed in their treasury.

Thinking of this, Su Heng couldn’t help but swallow, a long, pitch-black tail extending from behind him, swaying in the air.

“Any news on the Demon Descendants?” Su Heng asked again.

Li Hongxiu’s cheeks puffed up, then she shook her head, her cloud-like hair first wildly flying about then slowly draping over her shoulders.

“Since Algres escaped from your grasp, Master, these Demon Descendants have vanished as if into thin air. Even the native active Demon Descendants have disappeared, making it difficult to get information about them.”

“Not a good sign,” Su Heng’s eyes narrowed.

Though his current power was strong, he always harbored a trace of wariness towards this ancient race.

“What about you, Master, what do you plan to do now?” Li Hongxiu tilted her head and asked, “Since you dealt with the Immortal Corpse King last time, it’s been a while since you’ve shown yourself in public. Now people are saying you’ve encountered a deviation in your cultivation and gone mad.”

“Ha ha!”

Su Heng never cared about the opinions of these insects, “Let them say what they will.”

He shook his head, and the bones in his body crackled, with his stomach rumbling in response. Feeling the hunger emerging from his flesh, Su Heng sighed softly, a dark red glow flickering in his pupils. The aura that had been concealed now rose up and turned into tangible smoke in the light of the sky.

“Still, this time I closed up for quite a while, and it’s indeed time to stretch out a bit,” Su Heng waved to Li Hongxiu, leaving her with a wide silhouette of his back.

Then the conical sonic boom exploded beneath his feet.

Amid the dust and smoke.

Su Heng’s body had vanished into thin air, leaving only the terrifying sound waves rippling and spreading in all directions.

…

…

…

Linjiang, in the Qiong Wing Mountain Range of Canglan State.

This towering mountain, seen from afar, resembles a giant dragon spreading its wings. The steep and perilous dark mountain peaks shoot straight into the clouds, serving as a natural barrier between Linjiang and the Skywind Zone. Over a millennium, this has led to a strange spectacle where, although the two places are merely separated by a few hundred miles, their climates and cultures are vastly different.

But now…

With the rapid weaving and collision of two figures in the sky.

Terrifying shockwaves spread outwards, creating ripples that extended in all directions, like a lead ball smashing onto glass. The steep mountain covered in lush vegetation was now collapsing and disintegrating in a heart-stopping manner. Giant rocks tumbled from the summit, crashing into the city below—now turned into a sea of fire—sending deafening roars throughout.

Yin Wind cast darkness, lightning flashed, and thunder roared.

Above the ruins of the city, grey ashes were swept up by the raging storm, forming enormous tornadoes reaching from the heavens to the earth.

These twisters roamed between the ruins, lifting large pieces of rubble and debris, flinging them into the air.

From a distance, one could witness a scene of apocalyptic terror.

Boom!

Another loud explosion.

As a gigantic black cloud with a diameter of a kilometer expanded and burst in the sky.

A roar suddenly erupted from within it, momentarily drowning out the thunder, “Monster, this is not your place to be, go back to where you came from!”

During the fierce collision.

The clouds were instantly torn apart, revealing two figures in the dim sky.

One of the figures was thin and frail with aged features, white hair and beard. His bare upper body looked somewhat shriveled, but veins of dark green and black protruded outward, running along his arms and neck, spreading to his face, where the black membrane pulsed slightly. Coupled with his bloodshot eyes, he looked extremely fierce and ferocious.

This man was the Longevity King.

Previously, when Su Heng and King Qingyang were chatting idly, he learned that Longevity King and East Mountain King had an excellent relationship.

What he didn’t know was that the East Mountain King was actually a bloodline descendant that Longevity King had left in the mortal world.

The Longevity King was a figure from a thousand years ago, born into a noble family. He once fell in love with a woman of ill repute from the Red House, but due to the insurmountable gap in their statuses, they naturally could not be together.

After a night of passion.

The woman, unwilling to make him choose, left him and went on her way.

Afterwards, once the Longevity King succeeded in his cultivation, he searched for the woman for a long time, to no avail. This became a lifelong regret for the Longevity King.

What he didn’t expect was…

Hundreds of years later.

During an outing, he stumbled upon a young lad by the lakeside.

The throbbing in his soul allowed him to realize instantaneously that this youth was the descendant he and that woman had left behind.

And this youth was the East Mountain King.

He took the East Mountain King under his wing, nurturing him carefully. To this day, he is known far and wide as a mighty Heavenly King.

After the collapse of the Mythical Battlefield in Linjiang, the East Mountain King pleaded for him to come out of retirement, but the Longevity King, feeling that he was past his prime, refused the request. To his surprise, that parting turned out to be an eternal separation.

The next time they met, the East Mountain King was nothing more than a piece of rotting flesh hanging on the city wall.

What happened afterward, the Longevity King could not remember.

By the time he came back to his senses, he was already locked in combat with the monster before him, their colliding forces triggering a cataclysmic natural disaster. The ground crumbled, mountains crumbled, and the large city that once housed a million people was now completely reduced to ruins.

But none of that mattered anymore. With another heavy blow, blood seeped from all over the Longevity King’s body as he was hammered into the ground like a meteorite, and for the moment, he struggled to get up.

“You’re too old, just like the world beneath your feet, on the brink of demise, ravaged and decrepit. There’s no joy in killing you,” Norosa swung his arm, flicking the thick blood off the Mantis Blade onto the ground. The rustling of his wings signaled his movement as he landed at the edge of the crater, his gaze looking down at the Longevity King, his face showing an unexpected trace of pity.

Norosa viewed him with the eyes one would use to appraise raw meat, speaking in a calm voice, “But that’s alright, this world, though decaying, is vast enough still containing many fresh and juicy parts.

Once I devour you.

I should be able to adapt to the environment of this world and no longer be oppressed.”

Sss!

During the conversation.

Norosa had already crossed his Mantis Blades, grinding them against each other.

As a grating metal clash sound erupted, sparks flew, and the already brutally fierce Mantis Blades were coated with a layer of blood light.

But just as it made its move, a polite yet somewhat out-of-place voice suddenly appeared on the battlefield—”Hello, I apologize for the interruption.”

Hiss!

Norosa’s expression froze instantly.

He felt a chill creep up his spine, all the way to his brain.

He looked up sharply, turned around, and saw a pair of burning golden pupils ignite within the dark and hazy skies, piercing the darkness.

Su Heng, looking down from above, also felt a surge of delight in his heart. He pulled back his mouth full of sharp teeth, and with a sinister laugh, said, “Would you mind helping to fill my stomach just a little?”
