Living in the deep palace

[Ancient God Ruins - Liver Core - Outside the Herb Garden]

If the outside world of drugs is hell, then this place is heaven.

A transparent barrier isolated this place from the outside world. Inside the barrier, there was no miasma whatsoever, only an incredibly rich life essence.

Looking around, one sees exotic flowers and rare herbs covering the mountains and fields.

There are vermilion fruits as clear and translucent as rubies, ginseng dolls with human faces that can laugh, and a divine tree that is hundreds of feet tall, with each leaf supporting a phantom of a star.

This is the [Hundred Herbs Garden].

The ancient god's liver is the focal point of vitality, a natural super medicine storehouse!

"It's big...this time it's really big..."

The Skeleton Lord floated beside Su Chen, drooling as it looked at the divine medicine inside.

"Big brother! That's the 'Nine-Turn Resurrection Grass'! As long as he has a breath left, he can be saved!"

"That's the 'Ancient Dragon Blood Vine'! It has miraculous effects on body tempering!"

"My God! That plant... could it be the seedling of the legendary 'elixir of immortality'?!"

Su Chen was also extremely envious.

Although his physical body is currently powerful, his internal organs are still a weakness. If he could consume this garden of divine herbs and activate the [Divine Treasury of the Liver] within his body, his regenerative abilities would reach a terrifying level!

"Open the door."

Su Chen turned to look at the withered tree high priest who was following behind him like a grandson.

"This……"

The High Priest of the Dead Tree looked troubled and knelt down with a thud.

"My God, please forgive me! The barrier surrounding this Hundred Herbs Garden is not under my control."

“That is the ‘Lock of the Laws of Life’ personally laid down by the ancient god. Only the saintess with the purest bloodline of our race, and who is proficient in the way of pharmacology, can open it…”

"Saint?"

Su Chen raised his eyebrows.

Just then, a clear and arrogant voice came from inside the barrier.

"Grandpa Kumu, you have disappointed me greatly."

"How could a high priest kneel before a crude outsider?"

As the barrier rippled, a woman dressed in a jade-green dress, with stunning beauty and a cool, aloof demeanor like a lotus flower on a snow-capped mountain, slowly emerged.

Although she was standing inside the barrier, the way she looked at Su Chen was full of a sense of superiority.

Qingluo, the Holy Maiden of the Wood Spirit Poison Clan.

"Holy Maiden! Go back quickly! Who is this...?" The High Priest of the Deadwood was shocked and wanted to warn her.

"It goes without saying."

Qinglu interrupted him, her gaze sweeping coldly over Su Chen and Hun Tian.

"A bunch of barbarians who only know how to kill and destroy."

"Do you think that by breaking the poison array, you can take over the Hundred Herbs Garden?"

"ridiculous!"

Qinglu raised her fair chin and pointed to the seemingly thin, transparent barrier in front of her.

"This barrier is called the 'All Things Grow and Live' Array. It is connected to the roots of every divine herb inside and is connected to the lifeblood of the entire liver."

"To enter, one must master the highest principles of pharmacology, follow the principles of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, and decipher the three thousand six hundred life runes within."

"If we attack with brute force..."

A mocking smile curled at the corner of Qingluo's lips.

"This great formation will instantly self-destruct, and the divine medicine inside will wither and turn to ashes!"

"You bunch of brutes who only know how to swing your fists, do you even know anything about pharmacology? Do you even know anything about the laws of life?"

"If you don't understand, then get lost!"

"This is not a place for uncouth people like you."

"..."

The whole place was quiet.

The Demon Lord of Chaos and the others looked at each other, then at their own master.

They knew that what the Lord hated most were these self-righteous riddle-makers.

"Pharmacology? Law? Self-destruction?"

Su Chen looked at the arrogant saintess, but instead of being angry, he burst out laughing as if he had heard a joke.

"What are you laughing at?" Qingluo frowned, feeling very uncomfortable with Su Chen's attitude.

I laugh at your ignorance.

Su Chen shook his head and slowly walked to the barrier.

"Little girl, have you gone mad from staying in this garden all this time?"

"What you call 'pharmacology' is nothing more than the instinctive reactions that the ancient gods use to regulate their bodies."

"You treat it like an inviolable sacred book, but in my eyes..."

Su Chen stretched out a hand and gently placed it on the barrier.

"It's just a layer of plastic wrap."

"Plastic wrap?" Qingluo was stunned, then flew into a rage. "Arrogant! This is an ancient god's law! If you dare to lay a finger on it, these divine medicines will..."

"Just what?"

Su Chen interrupted her.

"Self-destruct?"

"You overestimate this formation and underestimate me."

"In this world, there is nothing I cannot get if I want it."

"As for the brute force you mentioned..."

The smile in Su Chen's eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a suffocating domineering aura.

"When the power is great enough to distort the rules."

"Brute force is the only truth!"

"Origin Law - Definition: This path...is unobstructed!!"

boom! ! !
Su Chen did not solve the mystery.

There was no need to calculate the 3,600 runes.

He simply clenched his fist and slammed it down hard against the barrier that was said to "destroy everything in its path if attacked head-on."

But this punch was no ordinary attack.

His fist was enveloped in a layer of chaotic light—[Chaos·Stillness].

This is a kind of "pause" on a time level.

"Smash it, you son of a bitch!!"

Chapter 763 Violent Harvest, Liver God's Treasure Trove
【Ancient God Ruins - Herb Garden】

"Click——!!!"

That crisp sound was more terrifying than the collapse of the heavens and the earth to Saintess Qingluo.

She watched helplessly as the Myriad Life Formation, revered as a divine miracle by the Poison Clan and said to be accessible only by solving complex equations, shattered like a piece of inferior glass under Su Chen's iron fist.

However, her prediction of the "miracle drug self-destructing" did not come to pass.

why?
Because it's fast.

too fast!
The chaotic laws contained in Su Chen's punch forcibly froze the transmission of the "self-destruct signal" inside the formation the instant the barrier was shattered.

It's like someone's hand being cut off before they even have a chance to press the detonator on a bomb.

"This...this is impossible..."

The Holy Maiden Qingluo's face turned deathly pale, and her delicate body trembled.

"You...you cheated! You actually froze the array's logic?!"

"Cheating?"

Su Chen withdrew his fist, stepped over the fragments of the barrier scattered on the ground, and walked into the Hundred Herbs Garden step by step.

The rich aroma of herbs wafted over him, making every pore on his body open up.

He walked up to Qingluo and looked down at the arrogant saintess.

"Little girl, this is called a dimensional reduction attack."

"While you're still figuring out how to unlock the door, I've already torn down the entire wall."

"So don't judge my methods with your narrow-minded perspective."

After Su Chen finished speaking, he ignored the saintess who was already questioning her existence and turned to look at the garden full of divine medicines.

"Bros!"

"My Lord!!" The Demon Lord of Chaos and the others could no longer contain themselves and stood outside, rubbing their hands together.

“The things in here…” Su Chen pointed to the treasures scattered all over the mountains.

"I have OCD, and I can't stand this garden being too crowded."

"Move me...!" "Remember, don't just pull weeds like some country bumpkin who's never seen the world."

"Dig it up, soil and all!"

"This soil is formed from 'breath soil' mixed with divine blood and sediment; it's a treasure!!"

"Yes!!"

With Su Chen's permission, this army of locusts from the deepest hell went online again.

"Mine! It's all mine!"

"This tree looks good, dig it up by the roots!"

"There are mushrooms growing under this rock, take the rock with you!"

Dust filled the Hundred Herbs Garden in an instant.

The once idyllic medicinal garden has become... barren at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The Holy Maiden Qingluo felt her heart bleed as she watched this scene.

"Stop! Stop!!"

"You robbers! That's a nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum, its root system is very fragile! You can't dig it up like that!"

"That's a transformation potion; it's afraid of pain!"

However, nobody paid any attention to her.

Under Su Chen's instructions, this was no longer a herb gathering activity; it was practically a "land plundering squad."

Su Chen himself wasn't idle either.

He walked straight to the very center of the Hundred Herbs Garden.

There, a small tree grows, only half a person's height, but its entire body is emerald green.

On the small tree, there was a fruit that looked exactly like a miniature liver.

[Liver God Fruit].

This is the essence of the entire liver, a truly priceless treasure.

"You are the one."

A glint flashed in Su Chen's eyes.

Without hesitation, he reached out and plucked the fruit.

"No!!" Qingluo screamed, "That's a sacred fruit! Mortals who eat it will explode and die! It's for gods..."

"Crack!"

Su Chen had already taken a bite.

Juice overflows, and a refreshing aroma fills the air.

"Hmm...it tastes a bit like a green apple, crunchy."

Su Chen chewed while making his comments.

boom! ! !
As the fruit entered his stomach, an indescribable surge of life energy exploded within Su Chen's body.

This force did not damage his body, but instead quickly surged towards his liver.

The liver, originally a mortal body, began to undergo dramatic changes under the nourishment of this power.

Golden divine patterns appeared on the surface of the organs, toxins were expelled, and impurities were refined.

It only takes a moment.

A dazzling blue light shone on Su Chen's body.

[The Secrets of the Liver - Unlocked!]

[Gained Traits: Immunity to All Poisons (Advanced), Endless Regeneration!]

Su Chen raised his hand and used his fingernail to draw a deep, bone-revealing cut on his arm.

However, before the blood could flow out, countless granulation tissues sprouted from the wound, and in the blink of an eye, the wound healed completely without leaving a scar.

"What a strong resilience!"

Su Chen clenched his fist, feeling the continuous vitality within his body, as if he had inexhaustible energy.

"Even if my head were chopped off now, it could probably grow back instantly, right?"

"This is... the physical foundation of an ancient god!"

Su Chen stuffed the remaining half of the fruit into his mouth and licked his fingers with lingering satisfaction.

Then, he turned around and looked at the completely stunned Saintess Qingluo.

"Death by exploding?"

Su Chen shrugged, looking completely innocent.

I'm sorry to disappoint you.

"I have a good appetite and digest quickly."

"Since you care so much about these flowers and plants..."

Su Chen pointed to the Hundred Herbs Garden, which had been dug up as if it had been gnawed by a dog.

"Then come with us."

"From now on, you will be the 'Chief Gardener' of my world of immortality."

"They're specifically in charge of growing vegetables for me."

"You... what did you say? You want me, a holy maiden, to grow vegetables for you?!" Qingluo's chest heaved violently with anger.

"What? Don't want to?"

Su Chen released a slight trace of the ancient god's pressure.

"Or do you want to become fertilizer?"

Just as Qingluo was terrified and about to give in.

Sudden.

Rumble——! ! !
In the distance, a piercing sound of metal clashing against metal echoed from the sky.

An extremely sharp and powerful aura of Geng metal swept in like a storm, instantly tearing apart the poisonous clouds above the poisonous realm.

"Hahaha! Old man withered tree! I heard you got beaten up?"

"You have truly disgraced our Five Internal Organs God Clan!"

"Looks like it's time for this liver to find a new owner!"

Accompanied by arrogant laughter, figures clad in golden armor and with wings on their backs descended from the sky.

That was a powerful being from the lungs of an ancient god.

【Golden Wing Clan】!
The leader, a young man, was radiant with golden light, and had three pairs of wings as sharp as blades behind him. He hovered in mid-air, looking down at Su Chen and the others below, his eyes filled with the mockery of a hunter eyeing his prey.

"Oh, so this is the 'external crawler' that defeated you bunch of trash?"

"It doesn't look... very good."

Su Chen raised his head, looked at the golden, glittering bird-man, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

I really enjoyed that vegetarian meal (the miracle drug) just now.

just now……

The food delivery guy is here again?
And this time, it seems like they sent... chicken wings?
……

[Ancient God Ruins - Liver Core - Above the Herb Garden]

"Hu-hu-"

A fierce wind howled, a wind of Geng metal carrying a strong metallic scent, like countless invisible, fine blades, scraping the air in the Hundred Herbs Garden with a piercing, tearing sound.

In the sky, the group of powerful Golden Wing Clan warriors with wings on their backs resembled a group of gods looking down upon the mortal world.

The leader, the young master of the Golden Wings, Jin Peng, was clad in a dazzling golden feather armor. His three pairs of wings spread out to a width of ten zhang, and each feather seemed to be forged from the sharpest divine metal, reflecting a chilling light in the sunlight.

He hovered in mid-air, arms crossed, his golden vertical pupils filled with disdain and mockery. His gaze swept over the group of demons below who were "digging" and finally landed on Su Chen.

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

Jin Peng shook his head and let out a laugh that was extremely sarcastic.

"Look at these poor guys, they're like beggars who've never seen the world, they're even gnawing on the ground."

"Old man withered tree, is this the 'powerful enemy' that defeated you?"

"I think they're a bunch of starving ghosts reincarnated."

The High Priest of the Deadwood was kneeling on the ground. Upon hearing this, his face turned extremely ugly, yet he dared not refute it. This was because the Goldenwing Clan were the overlords of the lungs of the ancient gods, naturally restraining the wood-attribute poisonous clans, and they also controlled the air. They had always been the most arrogant of the five internal organ god clans.

"Young Master, this person is rather strange. Not only is his physical body incredibly strong, but he can also devour poison arrays..." High Priest Kumu whispered a reminder.

"Swallowing poison?"

Jin Peng scoffed, his disdain deepening.

"That's because your Poison Clan is too useless."

"True strength lies in an invincible edge and lightning-fast speed!"

"Like these reptiles that just stand on the ground and get beaten up..."

Jin Peng stretched out a finger and pointed it at Su Chen's nose from a distance.

"If I wanted to kill him, I wouldn't even need to land; a mere flap of my wings would be enough to slice him into sashimi!" (End of Chapter)
