Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 434 Bone Forging
Zhou Leng stood at the entrance of the Tenth Palace, looking at the white sphere on the roof inside.

Inside the white sphere is a round, black shadow.

Upon closer inspection, the dark shape resembles a star.

On the surface of a star, streaks of solar flame erupt.

Unlike ordinary stars, this star seems to emanate a powerful spiritual will, and that power is not the intensity of sunlight, but a destructive force that incinerates everything.

Stars with spirit and will...

Zhou Leng recalled the contents recorded in the divine text.

Star God.

Although I can't be sure, I have a vague feeling that it is.

"The Path of Another Dimension, if the danger isn't too great, you can give it a try..."

Zhou Leng had no hope for this Ancient Spirit Path, but the experience of Dong Jun's oppressive aura ignited his fighting spirit.

Dongjun's oppressive aura only extends to the Ninth Palace, so what will the Tenth Palace, or even the final Otherworldly Path, be like?
The Path of Another Dimension is the true inheritance of advanced civilization.

Zhou Leng thought for a moment, then stepped into the tenth palace.

The oppressive force of the stars arrived like a tsunami.

boom……

Zhou Leng felt as if he had been hit by an invisible hammer, and his body flew backward.

He lost control of his body and fell to the ground.

My whole body felt numb, and I couldn't get up for a long time.

The five spirit masters of the Ninth Palace wore smiles, not with mockery, but rather with a slight schadenfreude at seeing their friends suffer a minor loss after ignoring advice.

Zhou Leng shook his head, slowly recovering from the dizziness.

The mental pressure within was like the wind touching the skin, yet it solidified into a tangible form.

Martial arts perception showed that the body was not damaged.

It's also possible that the damage was too minor and was healed by the body's powerful vitality.

Zhou Leng stood up, focused his attention, guarded his martial arts will, and slowly moved forward.

Ahead, the oppressive force was like a wall, creating a tremendous thrust, as if an ordinary person were hitting a typhoon.

A slight tingling sensation spread throughout my body.

Gradually, the pressure of the Star God entered the martial arts will.

This time, it wasn't rain falling against the window, but hail pelting down.

Even the mountain of will was struck with a clanging, unseen pressure, as if it might shatter at any moment.

Zhou Leng advanced instead of retreating, which was a good opportunity to temper his martial will.

My whole body was squeezed into the tenth house, making it hard to breathe. My chest felt like it was being crushed by a boulder, my vision was blurred, and the mountain of my will seemed to be surrounded by a hailstorm.

This pressure acts directly on the mind and will, occasionally causing a moment of darkness and dizziness.

However, Zhou Leng gritted his teeth and persevered.

Gradually, I adapted to this rhythm and sat cross-legged on the ground.

At this moment, Zhou Leng was extremely grateful for Zhao Sheng's martial will pressure.

Without prior tempering, one's own martial will would be utterly unable to resist this level of pressure.

Zhou Lengming remained motionless, but every ten seconds or so, his body would slide backward a little bit.

Five minutes later, Zhou Leng's entire body was pushed out of the tenth palace.

One of the Ninth Palace's spirit masters shouted, "Don't waste your time. The Ancient Spirit Path tests your mental strength, not your martial arts muscles. I admit your martial will is strong, but you still have a long way to go before you can pass the Tenth Palace."

Zhou ignored him, drinking the water of life, the water of Mammoth Lake, the Brilliant Juice, and the juice of ant eggs, and incidentally eating some dragon blood sausage.

Then circulate the Star-Gazing Technique again.

Once their martial will is restored, they can go back in and hold their ground.

Once, twice, three times...

Zhou Leng kept entering and kept being pushed out.

After being pushed out for the hundredth time, Zhou Leng took a long nap. When he woke up, he strode inside.

One step, two steps, three steps, four steps, sit down.

Twenty minutes later, the body was pushed out.

Zhou Leng entered again and sat down again...

Countless times, Zhou Leng took ten steps, then fifteen, twenty, thirty...

Pushed out time and time again, failed time and time again, but still moved forward.

Zhou Leng walked to the center of the tenth palace and sat down.

A visible mental storm swept through the room, shimmering silver like starlight.

A flash of light pierced the entire path of oppressive power, illuminating all ten houses.

Everyone looked from the entrance toward the depths of the tenth house.

A blurry figure, bathed in silvery starlight, sat upright in the palace with his back to the gate.

As if a saint were before me, as if a god were seated before me.

The spirit masters discussed among themselves, speculating about who the blurry figure was.

In the seventh palace, Cang Fei Zhi Yan peeked into the depths of the tenth palace. Due to the starlight, he couldn't see clearly, but he could only secretly admire it. Then he silently meditated and accepted the pressure.

Shan Hai Zhi Guang exclaimed, "This martial artist is truly extraordinary."

"Then let's..."

"Who would dare to mess with a potential Tenth Palace cultivator now? What would the demigods do if they found out? Besides, he's a follower of the Ice and Snow Cult, making him a member of my Demon Spirit World."

"The Ice and Snow Cult will probably fight us to the death."

The demon masters exchanged glances, their faces showing helplessness. Zhou Leng's value was enough to warrant the full protection of the Ice and Snow Cult.

Are the forces behind him truly willing to fight against the Ice and Snow Cult and Blue Star for his sake?
A powerful force slowly propelled Zhou Leng's body.

The world of martial arts will in my mind is filled with silver flashes.

The flash of light was like a sharp blade, cutting through the mountain of will.

The mental anguish left Zhou Leng in a daze.

The mental pressure also affected the body.

Some vulnerable parts of the body begin to break down.

The pressure from the Star God contained a strange destructive force that was almost imperceptible, yet it continuously damaged the body.

In a daze, Zhou Leng suddenly discovered that the silver flashes in the world of will were actually avoiding the immortal star and forming the phantom of Ceres.

With a thought, the immortal celestial cross rune in his mind began to spin rapidly.

An immortal celestial body, in motion.

He treated the pressure of the Star God as the starlight of the heavens and absorbed it using his indestructible celestial body. In an instant, the pressure of the Star God surrounding Zhou Leng seemed to freeze.

The star-shaped conch shell in the magic bag emitted starlight, which condensed into a silvery glow on the skin's surface.

The Star God's oppressive power descended upon the Star Conch's light, like swords clashing, white feathers flying wildly, and dazzling divine light bursting forth.

These divine lights shone on the body, and a portion of them was absorbed by the immortal star.

Despite the immense power of the Star God, a portion of it still entered the World of Will and attempted to break through the Mountain of Will.

Driven by the Undying Star Body Technique, the illusory image of Ceres shone brightly, shattering a portion of the Star God's pressure and absorbing another portion.

The celestial pressure shattered by the phantom of Ceres transformed into a powerless entity.

Part of it flowed into the Mountain of Will, and part of it transformed into the power of the immortal star, merging into the body.

The ten immortal star-body cultivation techniques and divine runes stirred up Zhou Leng's brain matter like a high-speed blender.

Everything felt like it had returned to those days when I first learned the divine script.

As the brain matter was churned, the immortal planet also rose at an extraordinary speed.

The demon spirit masters in the Ninth Palace watched for a long time, their fighting spirit ignited by Zhou Leng.

"Once I've mastered the trials of the Ninth House, I'm going to conquer the Tenth House!"

"Let's join forces and overcome this together! I refuse to believe we can't defeat a martial artist!"

"Correct!"

The five strongest geniuses of this period in the Three Towers closed their eyes and meditated once again, enduring the oppressive impact of the Ninth Palace.

In the tenth palace, within Zhou Leng's body, the undying celestial body slowly revolves.

On the skin's surface, the starlight and the pressure of the star god collided and vibrated.

In the world of will, the mountain of will stands firm, constantly being tempered.

At this moment, the immortal star is cultivating at a speed hundreds of times faster than usual.

Given Zhou Leng's physical strength, he would not have been able to withstand such powerful Star God pressure; his cells would have been destroyed one by one.

However, the Star Conch weakened some of its power, the Undying Star absorbed some of its power, and the body inherited by the High Treant continuously healed its damage.

During the ongoing healing process, the cells in the body undergo two distinct changes.

Some cells, like steel refined through countless trials, are constantly being hammered and strengthened, gradually ascending to become an immortal celestial body.

Some cells, subjected to the oppressive power of the Star God, become distorted, age, or undergo changes resembling cancer cells, thus becoming cancerous.

The stronger the body's activity, the stronger the cancerous cells become.

Because it is also part of the body.

One gains and one loses.

Even the power of higher education and the inheritance of human knowledge cannot solve these cancerous cells.

In theory, martial artists can only gradually eliminate this through long-term training.

However, the power of Mammoth Lake water works miraculously at this moment, quickly eliminating these cancerous cells and maintaining the body's health.

One day, two days, three days...

The Undying Star Body Technique advanced at an unimaginable speed.

After an unknown amount of time, the ten spinning phantom images of immortal celestial runes in his mind suddenly stopped.

The first divine inscription transformed from abstract to concrete.

lol...

A brilliant silver light suddenly burst forth from Zhou Leng's side, deflecting all the Star God's pressure.

Streaks of silver electricity spread in all directions, dancing across the sky.

In the eyes of those behind, Zhou Leng was in the midst of a lightning storm, with crackling sounds all around him.

Lightning flashes like trees, towering like walls.

Before long, the starlight and lightning subsided and returned to his body.

Two-finger-wide strands of starlight current twisted and flowed across Zhou Leng's body.

Where the starlight current passed, the skin turned red, and a strange pale silver star pattern appeared, which then disappeared into the flesh in an instant.

Gradually, the starlight current entered the body.

From behind, Zhou Leng looked like a star, solitary in the universe, illuminating all directions.

The first stage of the Transcendental Body is complete.

In an instant, the various destructive stellar forces hidden within the Star God's oppressive aura were partially reflected and absorbed by the power of the Undying Star Body the moment they touched Zhou Leng's skin, no longer causing any damage to his body.

The pure pressure of the Star God entered the space of will. It was still powerful, still as high as a star, still domineering, but it seemed to have lost its previous ferocity and become more gentle.

The Star God's might descended upon the Mountain of Will, like a torrential downpour falling through a window, clanging and clattering endlessly.

Heaven and earth returned to stillness.

Zhou Leng opened his eyes.

His eyes shone with lightning speed and starlight.

The surrounding area was still filled with the oppressive aura of the Star God, forming a dense wall of energy that concealed the destructive power of the stars.

But everything was as gentle as a light breeze and drizzle.

Look down at your body.

The immortal star ceased its rotation, and its skin surface appeared more crystalline than before, not in the crystalline way of jade, but in a metallic crystalline way that combined jade with steel.

In martial arts perception, there are also subtle starlight currents within the body, flowing slowly along the body and stimulating the flesh and blood.

"Starlight current is probably one of the powers of the immortal body."

"The destructive power within the Star God's aura is very similar to the power to destroy stars, or perhaps solar radiation? But it seems to be even stronger than solar radiation."

"My current body..."

Zhou Leng clenched his fist, then released it, and took out the demonized grip strengthener.

Grip with all your strength.

Click...

A hand gripper exceeding the 5-ton limit exploded into fragments.

The moment gripping force is formed, the body is completely connected.

The entire physical body is united as one.

Even though it was just a matter of using your fingers to exert force, in that instant, the force arose from your entire body and concentrated in one place.

Zhou Leng took the fragment and flexed his fingers.

The power within his body surged and roared.

Unbeknownst to him, he broke through the Blood Shaking Stage and entered the Bone Forging Stage.
