Ten thousand I am across the heavens

The eldest son was not unprepared for the attack of these celestial maidens scattering flowers, but the density of the attack was too high. Even the eldest son could only intercept a portion of them. Most of the bullets still hit the eldest son's body, and many penetrated deep into his body.

The warheads carried a large amount of anesthetic fluid, which exploded rapidly upon impact, transforming into countless tiny needles. The anesthetic fluid, encapsulated within spindle-shaped crystalline needles, would then penetrate flesh and blood, spreading over a range of hundreds of meters. It would then shatter, releasing the anesthetic. Through the eldest son's bloodstream and the circulation of other substances within his body, this anesthetic would rapidly spread throughout his body. This design resulted in the eldest son suffering from severe physical ailments. The anesthetic could still rapidly spread to all parts of his body. Even internally, due to the deep penetration of some warheads, the explosion could cause severe paralysis afterward.

Compared to direct harm, the adaptation to this type of anesthesia is much slower. After all, it doesn't directly cause cell death, so the threat is relatively smaller. Cellular adaptation depends on the cell's instinct to adapt to less threatening harm, and this instinctive adaptation weakens. Under paralysis, the eldest son also finds it difficult to consciously control and forcibly adapt to these anesthetic drugs.

Like a barrage of bullets raining down, millions of fighter jets filled the sky. Three waves were fired in total, essentially distributing warheads throughout the entire body of the eldest son. This ensured that during the subsequent anesthesia, the entire eldest son would be paralyzed.

However, this level of paralysis posed little threat to the eldest son. Although he adapted more slowly than to damaging attacks, his powerful physique gave him a strong resistance to anesthetic drugs. Even specially designed anesthetics could only control him for a few minutes.

But even those ten-odd minutes were astonishing. The two octopus-like beings launched their attacks with all their might, yet they couldn't inflict much damage on the super-creature; at most, they could only continuously nibble away at its newly regenerated flesh. Or they could cause some seemingly exaggerated, but ultimately insignificant, damage.

But what did they see at that moment? They saw a group of mortals piloting an endless array of fighter jets flying in. Then, after a concentrated barrage of attacks, they achieved results that even they couldn't match. The eldest son, who hadn't suffered any effective damage before, was now completely paralyzed, his attacks becoming sluggish. Although they didn't understand the principle behind this, the two still seized the opportunity and launched a powerful attack.

Each unleashed their deadly attacks, frantically destroying the eldest son's body. Previously, because the eldest son possessed defensive techniques and was also extremely strong, even with their powerful attacks, damaging the arena master's body wasn't easy. But now, without the interference of the eldest son's own defenses, allowing the two eighth-level powerhouses to unleash their full power, even with the eldest son's incredibly tough muscle tissue, you definitely couldn't withstand their onslaught.

The attacks of these two were also a way to distract the eldest son. Not all cells were anesthetized. Given its large size, there must be some areas in the eldest son's body that were not infected by the anesthetic. There must be some areas with a thick protective layer. Even if the anesthetic was released, the organs inside the protective layer and the soldiers produced would not be affected by the anesthesia.

Multiple waves of attacks ensured that even un-anesthetized areas received focused attention. Each munition was intelligently targeted, and the effectiveness of any surrounding area being anesthetized was monitored throughout the battlefield's combat system. Therefore, the second wave of bombardment primarily targeted the un-anesthetized areas with precision strikes. After multiple waves, the un-anesthetized areas were negligible, and the eldest son was almost completely paralyzed. However, given its size, even if it stood still and allowed itself to be attacked for over ten minutes, it would be difficult to inflict fatal damage.

The fact that even with the combined full power of two Rank 8 Immortals, the damage they inflicted could only be described as superficial wounds speaks volumes. Even with their entire bodies paralyzed for over ten minutes, their injuries would likely only qualify as minor. Even with their ability to precisely strike the brain core, the damage they could inflict was still limited.

With the eldest son's body completely exhausted, Blue Fox led the Eighth Legion in a relentless, desperate charge towards him.

"Your mission this time is to infiltrate the eldest son's body, release all the lava cores, and use the energy within to unleash your ultimate war techniques to ignite the eldest son's entire body."

You have only 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, the eldest son's body will be freed from paralysis.

Even if we could carve a passage through the eldest son's body without any resistance from flesh and blood, a round trip of 500 li within 15 minutes would be impossible. Sending you into the eldest son's body within 15 minutes would be the limit; your only chance of returning is to fight your way out after the eldest son's body reawakens. I can only wish you good luck.”

When Blue Fox received this communication from the supreme commander, he had already led the entire legion in a dive from almost the top of the two-story tower. With the assistance of the electromagnetic rails erected in mid-air by other fighters, they accelerated to a speed exceeding 10 kilometers per second. This speed would be enough to defy Earth's gravity on Earth, and even reach cosmic velocity.

If the impact were to strike the eldest son at that speed, death would be certain, even with the armor he wore and the external fighter jets providing cushioning; there would be absolutely no chance of survival. Fortunately, the plan was flawless. As they dove, the 11th and 17th Legions jointly unleashed their ability to spread their lethal attacks. The 17th Legion had the capability to expand the coverage of its other lethal attacks by an order of magnitude, a strategic capability even if only temporarily.

After expanding the range of the Eleventh Legion's killing move by an order of magnitude, it meant they could directly utilize the strength of 30 men. The 30 strongest individuals selected by the Legion were all gathered here, their own power, the power of their fighter jets, and their reserve energy all being borrowed and concentrated on the Eleventh Legion's commander. Then, an incredibly dazzling beam of light pierced through the eldest son's body. This time it was a true piercing; the beam stretched for thousands of kilometers, actually punching a hole hundreds of meters wide through the eldest son's massive frame.

For the eldest son, a hole hundreds of meters wide was like a needle prick, or even a piercing wound. It wasn't a significant injury. But for the Eighth Burning Legion, who descended from the sky, accelerating to over ten kilometers per second with electromagnetic thrust, it was immense. This hundred-meter-wide hole was a massive achievement for the legion, making their entire record stand out. At a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, it pierced through the straight tunnel in an instant.

The moment they entered the tunnel, everyone began to decelerate. The immense G-force pressed them firmly into their fighter jet seats. To help them withstand this level of G-force, the seats were even reversed. Even so, such rapid deceleration pushed them to their physiological limits. If it weren't for the blessing of Radiant Eternity, which elevated their physical condition to its highest level in history, this short deceleration alone would have been enough to kill them.

It would also make sense to accelerate to several kilometers per second; a distance of 500 li would only take them two or three minutes to reach the center of the eldest son's territory.

This is even taking into account that they are constantly decelerating during flight, and their final average speed is only about half of their maximum speed.

Those watching from the outside, observing the smooth and effortless movements of this eighth-level immortal, were somewhat stunned. These mortals had actually achieved this; it had surpassed their previous understanding of mortals.

Let alone mortals from hundreds or thousands of years ago, even mortals from just a few years ago were nothing more than ants that could be easily drowned with a mere stretch of their hand. Their sheer numbers meant they were merely resources to them, their only purpose being that some exceptionally talented or gifted individuals might emerge from among them. These individuals, if nurtured, might become their capable subordinates, but if they couldn't achieve immortality, they would ultimately remain ants.

But what they saw before them shattered their understanding. That burst of light might have meant nothing to the eldest son, like being pierced by a needle. But for a newly promoted sixth-level immortal, it was an attack that could instantly kill him, and the means to resist it were actually quite limited. Even with a sixth-level immortal Gu house, he might be blown up.

At this moment, after a large number of fighter jets entered the eldest son's body, the Eighth Legion released the lava cores. These cores, after being modified into eldest son cells and absorbing the vast energy from the magma layer, were fully charged. Each core contained enough energy to power the entire underground base for half a year. The legion had brought tens of thousands of these cores.

"Are you all ready? This may be the last time we cast the blessing of eternal glory. But it will also be our most glorious. Let the world see just how far we are capable."

Previously, with Qin Baisheng's assistance, the Eighth Legion had reached an unprecedented peak. A single immortal, considered among the top-tier warriors even among seventh-tier immortals, fully dedicated himself to supporting the legion, elevating its strength to a level comparable to ordinary seventh-tier immortals. However, this power could only last a short time, placing a tremendous burden on the legion's soldiers. If the duration exceeded 10 minutes, mass casualties were likely. Furthermore, maintaining this state required a massive amount of energy, consuming immortal essence stones. Therefore, the legion carried not only lava cores, but also an unprecedented 150 immortal essence stones—an amount that would make even less wealthy seventh-tier immortals drool.

These are also crucial energy reserves for the upcoming decisive blows in the war. As the Blessing of Eternal Radiance was activated, an incomparably powerful aura emanated from the eldest son's body. That aura, not weak even among seventh-rank immortals, made the Snow Beard Ancestor and the Five Elements Mage doubt their own eyes. Weren't those who rushed in earlier just mortals? Could it be that a seventh-rank immortal had infiltrated with them? How did these mortals achieve such a feat?
Even more incredible things followed. Having reached their ultimate sublimation, the Eighth Legion began to unleash its devastating war techniques with unbridled abandon, releasing immense energy. The energy of each energy core was drained and converted into their war weapons; the thresholds for oxidation-reduction reactions and various energy releases were lowered around them. Essentially, their abilities remained attribute substitution. The Blessing of Eternal Glory was essentially recording their most glorious moment and then using the attribute substitution ability to replace their own abilities with the attributes of that moment.

At this moment, the properties of the flesh and blood in the eldest son's body in terms of oxidation-reduction reactions have been replaced by the properties of extremely active chemical substances, and other types of stored energy have also been replaced by highly active stored energy.

Flames ignited within the eldest son's body, rapidly spreading like an explosion throughout his entire form, transforming him from the inside out into a super furnace. The flames spread outwards at a speed of several kilometers per second.

Although the eldest son's nervous system was paralyzed, his body possessed the ability to evolve in response to the external environment. Even while in a deep sleep, he continued to adapt to the natural world.

Having endured such terrifyingly high temperatures, the eldest son, whose skin even began to glow red, saw his internal metallic elements rapidly accumulating, forming numerous metallic pipes. A special insulating layer, using the most inert material, constructed a structure so potent it couldn't be burned even with attribute-altering methods, surrounding these metallic pipes. Inside, a high-speed flowing liquid, similar to an air conditioner, rapidly absorbed heat within his body and released it through heat sinks on his skin. Under this intense heat dissipation, the metal heat sinks that had grown on his skin glowed red-hot. However, this also controlled the excessive energy release within his body, gradually calming his frantically burning body.
