Living in the deep palace

"It's only 70% complete."

"The bones have hardened, the blood has been replaced. But what about the internal organs..."

Su Chen touched his chest.

"Still a mortal."

"To achieve complete perfection and reach the legendary 'Sixth Realm of Physical Body,' we still need to source supplies from other places."

Su Chen took out a green robe from his storage space and put it on, covering his breathtaking muscles.

He turned around and looked out of the main hall.

The heart area has been thoroughly searched; even the floor was thoroughly looted.

It's time to move on to the next place.

"Old bones."

Su Chen looked at the Skeleton Lord.

What's the next target?

The Skeleton Lord quickly floated over and took out a parchment scroll (a map inside the body of an ancient god) that he had obtained from who-knows-where.

“Master, to get to the brain’s divine court, we must go upstream along the ‘aorta’.”

"This road is not easy to travel."

"The route passes through major organ areas such as the liver, lungs, spleen, and stomach."

"Moreover, as far as I know, over the past three thousand years, due to the accumulation of energy within these organs, extremely powerful indigenous civilizations have evolved, namely the so-called 'Five Organs God Clan'."

"They regard their own organs as 'territory' and are extremely exclusive."

"Especially the 'Wood Spirit Poison Clan' in the liver area, they are the ancestors of poisoners, even passing dogs will get poisoned and have their skin peeled off."

As the Skeleton Lord spoke, he still felt lingering fear.

"poison?"

Upon hearing this, Su Chen's eyes lit up instead of showing any concern.

He licked his lips. Although the pool of divine blood he had just drunk was very nourishing, the taste was too monotonous and a bit cloying.

Right now, we need something a little "stronger" to balance things out.

"Poison is good."

"The more toxic, the more nourishing."

"and……"

Su Chen took a step out and arrived directly outside the main hall, looking at the huge blood vessel (aorta) leading upwards.

“Since they call themselves ‘gods’.”

"Then you must have collected quite a few good items, right?"

"Hun Tian! Assemble the army!"

"Target—the aortic corridor!"

"Tell those so-called Five Organs Gods..."

Su Chen's shadow stretched long in the sunlight, like a demon god descending to earth.

"The rent collectors are here!"

[Ancient God Ruins - Heart Palace - Outer Surroundings]

As Su Chen completely refined the half-pool of ancient god's heart blood, the tremors in the entire heart region finally subsided.

The enormous, dark golden heart was still beating, but the suffocating sense of rejection had vanished. In its place was a feeling of intimacy, akin to a blood connection.

Su Chen stood at the entrance of the Emperor God Palace, which had been reduced to only load-bearing walls, and glanced back at this once glorious palace.

"It's so clean."

Su Chen nodded in satisfaction.

At this point, not only was the floor of the Imperial Palace gone, but even the door studs on the main gate had been pried off by Ba Shan and his men. If later tomb raiders were to see this scene, they would probably shed tears of sorrow, thinking that the place had been ravaged by locusts.

"My lord, everything is packed!"

The Demon Lord of Chaos ran over excitedly to report, "All the divine stones, divine lamps, and those ornaments imbued with divine power have been categorized and stored in your [Origin Space]. This batch of supplies is enough to expand our core area of ​​the Realm of Immortality tenfold!"

"very good."

Su Chen patted Hun Tian on the shoulder, "I'll reward you with a divine pillar as a weapon later."

"Thank you, my lord!!" The Demon Lord of Chaos was so excited he almost knelt down. That pillar was made of Primordial Divine Stone, harder than even an Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon; swinging it to smash someone would be incredibly powerful!

"Master, now that we're done here, we should get going."

At this moment, the Skeleton Lord also floated over, holding the Soul-Nourishing Wood in his hands, with a fawning expression on his face.

Although he was once a big shot in the fifth realm, after witnessing Su Chen devour the will of the ancient god, plunder the Emperor God Palace, and withstand the divine blood with his physical body, he has completely corrected his position.

What dignity?
In the face of this freak, survival is the only thing that matters!
Following its master, it goes hungry for three days and nine meals a day... no, it's like eating and drinking well every single meal!
Su Chen nodded, his gaze falling on the enormous pipe above his heart that connected to the depths of the heavens.

That's the aorta.

It's like a blood-red river leading to the heavens, thousands of miles wide, with a torrent of tangible energy surging within it.

"According to the map, to get to the brain's divine court, we have to go upstream."

The Skeleton Lord pointed to the artery and said, “This path is not easy. It runs through the internal organs of the ancient gods. We will pass through the liver (Wood Realm), spleen (Earth Realm), lungs (Metal Realm), and kidneys (Water Realm) in turn.”

"Over the past three thousand years, the energy within the ancient gods has been imbalanced, causing these organs to act independently, giving rise to the so-called 'Five Organs God Clan'."

"They regarded their own organs as their exclusive property and were extremely xenophobic."

“Especially that liver area…” The Skeleton Lord seemed to recall some unpleasant memories, and his soul trembled. “That’s where the ancient gods used to detoxify and store toxins. After millions of years of fermentation, it has become an unparalleled poison cave.”

"Back then, even at the height of our power, Chen and I were always very careful when passing through that place, and we had to pay a lot of tolls to get through."

"Toll?"

Upon hearing this, Su Chen's lips curled into a cold smile.

"Old man, your memory doesn't seem to be very good."

What did I just say?

"This place... now belongs to the Su family."

Su Chen took a step forward, his figure instantly rising higher, and he arrived directly in front of the huge aortic entrance.

Rumble——! ! !
A tremendous roar swept over us. It was the sound of divine blood surging, each drop of blood carrying immense force.

If it were the old Su Chen, even if he were a Great Luo Golden Immortal, he would have had to activate his protective divine light to face such an impact.

but now.

Su Chen simply stood there, letting the crimson torrent wash over him.

His skin glowed with a faint jade-like luster, and the divine blood waves that were powerful enough to shatter mountains crashed against him like a gentle breeze, not even making him sway.

"The Five Viscera God Clan?"

“If they behave well, I wouldn’t mind taking a few underlings.”

"If they want to charge me a toll..."

Su Chen turned around and glanced at the demon army behind him, which was already armed to the teeth and whose eyes were filled with predatory desire.

"Then let them know what it means to... invite a god in, but send him away!"

"All troops! Move out!!"

"Target—the brain's nervous system!!"

"Roar--!!!"

The millions of demons roared in unison, their momentum soaring like a rainbow, transforming into a giant black dragon that followed closely behind Su Chen and plunged headlong into the surging main artery corridor.

Chapter 759 The Aortic Corridor, Blood Beast Frenzy

【Ancient God Ruins - Aortic Corridor】

Where are those blood vessels?
This is clearly a galaxy tunnel!
The surrounding pipe walls emitted a soft red glow, as tough as a world barrier. Beneath one's feet flowed a surging river of blood energy, and above one's head stretched an endless dark red dome.

However, things are not peaceful here.

"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"

Not long after entering the corridor, a series of loud roars came from ahead.

Within the crimson mist, countless scarlet eyes lit up.

That's a Blood Beast.

They are monsters formed from the combination of white blood cells and mutated cells within the bodies of ancient gods after their death. They have no intelligence, only the most primal instinct to devour—to eliminate all foreign viruses.

In their eyes, Su Chen and his group are the biggest virus!

"This is... the Blood Beast Tide?" The Demon Lord of Chaos felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the overwhelming horde of monsters surging towards him like a red tsunami.

Too much!
Densely packed and endless!
These blood beasts came in all shapes and sizes; some resembled giant wolves, others octopuses, and still others were simply balls of flesh covered in teeth. Each one possessed the strength of a True Immortal, and among them were even quite a few Beast Kings at the Great Luo level!
"All troops, form ranks! Prepare for battle!!"

The Demon Lord of Chaos roared and swung the Primordial Divine Pillar (his newly acquired weapon) horizontally.

"kill!!"

The demon guards and native warriors of the desolate bone city behind them were also taken aback by the sheer number of them, but when they thought of their lord's invincible figure, their fighting spirit was immediately ignited.

boom! boom! boom!
The two collided instantly.

In an instant, blood and flesh flew everywhere.

The Demon God Guards, being seasoned veterans, managed to hold off the first wave of beast tides with their coordinated battle formation.

However, they soon realized something was wrong.

"Damn it! These things are unkillable!!"

Giant Spirit One cleaved a blood beast in two with a single axe blow. But the next second, the two halves of the corpse, nourished by the river of blood energy, instantly healed and even split into two new blood beasts, which pounced even more ferociously.

"As long as they're in this corridor, they're immortal! The energy here is constantly supplying them!"

The Skeleton Lord shouted from the side, "Master! This is the most disgusting part of the aorta! It's like an endless monster-slaying dungeon!!"

"Unless you burn them all to ashes in one go, they'll only multiply!"

In the short time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

The demon army's defenses began to shrink.

Even with the two powerful figures, Hun Tian Demon Lord and Meng Po, unleashing their fury, they couldn't withstand the overwhelming numerical superiority of the enemy.

"My lord! We can't hold on any longer!"

The Demon Lord of Chaos was covered in blood and panting heavily. The rules here were suppressing his demonic energy recovery; if this continued, they would be worn down to death before even reaching the liver.

"Endless monster spawning?"

Su Chen, who had been standing at the rear of the army with his hands behind his back, finally opened his eyes.

Looking at the sky full of blood beasts, his eyes showed not only no solemnity, but also a hint of...surprise.

Yes, surprise.

It's like walking into a buffet restaurant and seeing an endless supply of barbecue.

"Lord Hai, you are mistaken."

Su Chen walked slowly forward, and wherever he passed, the demon army automatically parted to make way for him.

"This is not a copy."

"This is clearly... a 'gas station' left to us by the ancient gods!"

Su Chen walked to the front of the formation.

Facing the blood-red beast tide that was about to engulf everything, he slowly opened his arms.

"Do you think there are too many of them?"

"But in my opinion... this isn't even enough to fill a tooth gap."

"Back off."

Su Chen said it casually.

Hun Tian and his men quickly led their army back ten miles.

next second.

The Origin Dao Fruit on Su Chen's chest began to spin once more.

This time, however, he did not summon the Tree of Immortality, nor did he use any fancy supernatural powers.

He simply opened his mouth.

"Origin and Definition: Here... the fast is lifted!"

"Ancient God - Devouring Heaven and Earth!!!"

boom! ! !
Su Chen's body did not grow larger, but the void behind him suddenly collapsed.

A colossal, chaotic maw, large enough to fill the entire corridor, appeared out of thin air.

Within that gigantic maw was a bottomless black vortex.

"Roar???"

The blood beasts, who had been charging wildly, suddenly felt a lightness in their bodies.

Immediately afterwards, an irresistible and terrifying suction force erupted from the mouth of the tiny human in front of them.

Huhuhu——! ! !
The storm suddenly arose.

That's not inhaling air, that's practically a black hole feeding!

Countless blood beasts didn't even have time to scream before they were swept into the sky by this suction force, stretched and twisted like noodles, and then sucked into the chaotic vortex.

One hundred... ten thousand... one million...

The entire aortic corridor instantly became Su Chen's "straw".

"Glug, glug..."

Su Chen stood at the eye of the storm, his Adam's apple bobbing.

The Chaos Furnace within his body operated at full power, instantly crushing, purifying, and compressing the chaotic blood beast energy.

"Not bad, although there are a lot of impurities, the energy of this blood and qi is very strong."

Su Chen ate while making comments.

"Perfect timing, my army needs supplies."

"Give it to me...refine it!!"

Su Chen formed a hand seal.

The massive amount of energy he swallowed was not fully absorbed. Instead, it was transformed by the Chaos Furnace into thumb-sized pills that emitted a rich blood fragrance and were sprayed out from his fingertips.

slam-la-

It was like a torrential downpour of red rain.

Tens of millions of Blood Beast Essence Pills fell into the demon army's camp.

"This is……"

The Demon Lord of Chaos caught a pill, and just by smelling it, he felt all the fatigue in his body disappear, and even his cultivation improved slightly.

"This is a blessing from the Lord!!"

"Don't just stand there! Eat up!!"

"Thank you for the reward, my lord!!"

The demon soldiers were overjoyed and grabbed the pills on the ground to swallow them.

In an instant, the morale of the entire army began to surge wildly.

Those demon soldiers who were originally only at the early stage of True Immortal actually broke through to the middle stage of True Immortal after consuming the pills! As for the native warriors, their bodies crackled and popped, and many of them broke through to the Silver Bone Realm!
In front, Su Chen alone devoured the heavens, while behind him, the entire army collectively upgraded.

What was originally a hopeless beast tide has now turned into a grand "buffet banquet".

After a stick of incense.

The wind stopped.

Su Chen closed his mouth and wiped away non-existent oil stains from the corners of his lips.

The aortic corridor ahead was completely empty; not even a fly could be found.

Only the still surging river of blood seemed to be telling the story of the terror that had just occurred.

"belch--"

Su Chen turned around, looked at his subordinates who were eating heartily and whose auras were soaring, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Are you full?"

I'm full!!!

The millions of soldiers roared in unison, their voices echoing through the corridors.

"Eat your fill and then get to work."

Su Chen pointed to the misty area ahead that was gradually turning from red to an eerie green.

"The first stop is ahead—the liver."

"I heard that the owner there is very unhospitable and likes to use poison."

"Perfect timing, I just finished eating meat and need some vegetables to cleanse my palate."

"Let's go!" (End of Chapter)
