Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 482 Twenty Thousand
Zhou Leng was overjoyed. He used his true energy to isolate himself from the magma, put the medicinal fruit into his mouth, and sat cross-legged to absorb it.

The powerful effects of the drug surged into the body, simultaneously producing a peculiar feeling of intoxication.

Originally, there was already an endless supply of divine earth blood accumulated in my body, which I simply couldn't absorb.

Under the influence of this magma medicinal fruit, all the Earth God's blood was compressed.

A powerful force surged through his body, like a swarm of snakes writhing wildly.

Zhou Lengxin guarded the mountain of will, circulating the true energy of the stars and the immortal star body, sitting steadily in the magma, unhurried and calm.

The heat within the body becomes increasingly concentrated, increasingly concentrated.

Finally, highly concentrated heat penetrates into the meridians.

A violent tearing sensation spread throughout my body.

Zhou Leng had experienced the Gates of Purgatory. Although he was sweating profusely from the pain, his mind remained calm and his thoughts did not wander.

Those streams of heat darted around in the meridians, but slowly, they transformed into liquid energy, entering the inner walls of the meridians and merging into them.

Time passes minute by minute...

The twelfth hour.

"Time's up." The giant furnace's voice boomed, reaching tens of thousands of meters deep into the divine blood magma.

A moment later, a huge black shadow flew up from the center of the crater, stirring up towering lava, like a demon king being born, exuding domineering power.

His dragon scales only showed slight melting and were not extensively damaged.

"Lord Dark Wrath, you didn't use dragon power, but relied on your physical body to withstand it?" a demon asked.

Dark Wrath nodded.

Everyone was envious.

Even the dwarven masters nodded in approval.

The true powerhouses of the Ten Realms can always subdue everyone.

Then, a giant, its entire body charred black, climbed out of the volcano along the mountain wall and stood on the crater.

He stood motionless, his entire body covered in a thick, black, charred crust.

The others waited quietly, without disturbing him.

Several minutes later, a series of cracking sounds continued as the charred outer shell broke apart.

It reveals a completely new landscape.

On Shanheyuan's skin, long, crimson marks suddenly appeared, resembling flowing lava.

"Lava mass..."

Everyone exclaimed in surprise, not expecting that a second lava body of the giant race had appeared. Previously, only Golden Heavenly River possessed one.

Deep Wrath glanced at it, but didn't care.

His body was too strong; this level of trial could not grant him greater power.

The group chatted as they waited.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, no one came out again.

The dwarven masters stared blankly at the crimson divine blood lava inside the crater.

Zhou Leng did not appear.

According to the trial rules, death can already be determined.

"Where's Zhou Leng?" Shanheyuan looked around.

No one answered.

"Where's Zhou Leng!" Shanheyuan shouted loudly.

Aiden sighed and said, "Never mind, everyone has unexpected moments."

Zhao He sighed, "What a pity..."

“He won’t die.” Shanheyuan recalled his experience on the Giant Plateau, where Zhou Leng also walked out of the Armor King’s Tomb alive.

"He won't die," Shanheyuan repeated.

The dwarven masters discussed it for a while and decided to wait an hour, then leave after thirteen hours.

Soon, the thirteenth hour came to an end.

The giant furnace said, "The trial is over. Let's go down the mountain."

His large eyes, though reflecting divine blood and magma, had lost their light.

“I’ll wait for him here; he won’t die,” Shanhe Yuandao said.

"Idiot. Let's go."

With a grim expression, the giant furnace led the group away.

As it descended the mountain, Deep Wrath turned to look at the desolate landscape, sighed deeply, and flew down the mountain.

Divine Blood Furnace Workshop.

A stronghold of dwarves.

This place is located underground in the Godblood Volcano, connected to the Godblood magma.

The dwarves forged a complete set of powerful semi-divine artifacts from which they extracted divine blood and magma, and refined various powers and materials.

This was my first time here, and I was given a leisurely tour by my friend Black Helmet.

Finally, they arrived at the famous Crystal Hall.

The man in the black helmet pointed ahead and said, "Spectacular, isn't it?"

The hammer looked up.

Ahead was a crystal wall ten meters high, within which divine blood magma churned.

Beneath the crystal wall, divine blood magma seeped out naturally, flowing into various passages for dwarves and magic masters to refine important powers or materials.

Black Helmet introduced himself while boasting.

"This crystal wall is a semi-divine artifact. It can not only detect the internal conditions of divine blood magma, but also isolate harmful forces within it..."

"Look, we can even directly observe the divine blood magma inside. How powerful it is."

"I'm not bragging, but I'll definitely be able to bathe in divine blood lava someday."

Black Helmet was beaming with pride.

Molten Hammer said, "It's 20,000 meters from the mountaintop. You mean you can dive 20,000 meters down from the mountaintop to reach this crystal wall?"

The man in the black helmet's face darkened, and he said, "That's impossible."

"Then what the hell are you bragging about?"

"I'd love to brag!"

"Look at Zhou Leng, he's so much better than you, and he never brags!" Molten Hammer, having been scolded by Giant Furnace for too long, started to roast his old friend.

"Ever since I met Zhou Leng, I've been bragging about him every time we meet. Is that really necessary? Zhou Leng is really awesome. You tell him to dive 20,000 meters and come to the Crystal Wall to meet me... I... what the hell..."

Black Helmet suddenly jumped back, pointing at the crystal wall, his eyes wide as if he had seen a ghost.

Startled, Molten Hammer looked ahead. He saw two hands pressed against the crystal wall, and then two feet appeared.

That was a human being.

However, the rest of this person's body was covered by divine blood magma, so his appearance was not visible.

"Call the police! A child of God has been born from the divine blood magma!" Black Helmet shouted, sounding the alarm.

The innate dwarves and master dwarves responsible for guarding the area headed straight for the Crystal Hall.

They saw a pair of humans with their hands and feet on the crystal wall, first groping around the crystal wall, and then climbing up.

"What's going on?" a dwarf asked loudly.

The man in the black helmet exclaimed, "It must be the son of a god, born from divine blood and magma! It must be!"

A group of dwarves rolled their eyes; this black helmet had quite the imagination.

A dwarf said, "It's estimated that some trial participants have come down. No, this is 20,000 meters deep. Even grandmasters would find it very difficult at this depth."

A grandmaster dwarf paused for a moment, then said, “Look closely, this person’s body has no protective force on its surface. I couldn’t withstand the divine blood magma from a depth of 20,000 meters with my bare body.”

"Which human trial participant is this strong?"

"Zhao Sheng's grandson, Zhao He?"

"Impossible. Even I, a dwarf, know that the sons of martial arts clans are good at everything, but they can't do martial arts."

"Is that the mad prince Aiden?"

"He's a mad prince, not a divine prince."

Melting Hammer slowly said, "It wouldn't be Zhou Leng, would it?"

"That dwarf duke?"

"Do you know Zhou Leng?" The dwarf master looked at Molten Hammer.

“I brought him here.”

The dwarf master checked the time and said, "Thirteen hours have passed, and the people up there still haven't come down to announce the results. They must be waiting for someone, which has caused the delay. They're probably waiting for this person. This person's climbing speed isn't as fast as those who climb mountains outside. Come on, I'll take you up the mountain to take a look!"

Before Molten Hammer could answer, the dwarf grandmaster grabbed Molten Hammer by the neck, rushed out of the workshop, and charged toward the mountaintop.

The master climbed the mountain as if walking on flat ground.

Sighing, Hammer lamented that he was getting worse and worse, and that he was being dragged around by others wherever he went.

Before long, the two encountered a group of people coming down the mountain.

The dwarf master rushed to the giant furnace, summoned the other dwarf examiners, and whispered about the crystal wall.

The dwarf examiners were taken aback.

The giant furnace said, "You all go down the mountain and wait, we'll go up."

After saying that, the group of dwarf masters darted up the mountain like a bunch of rabbits.

The trial participants didn't hear, looked at each other in confusion, and slowly descended the mountain.

Before long, the dwarves, including the Giant Furnace and the Molten Hammer, arrived at the summit and stood on the edge of the crater.

Hammer ran to Shanheyuan's side, trembling with fear.

Shanheyuan remained expressionless, though he clearly believed Zhou Leng wouldn't die, his eyes still held a sorrowful look.

"Are you waiting for Zhou Leng?" Melting Hammer asked.

"Ah."

"He'll be up here in a minute."

"Hmm?" Shanheyuan looked down at the molten hammer.

Molten Hammer recounted what happened at the Divine Blood Furnace Workshop, concluding, "Such a beastly act of venturing 20,000 meters deep is something only a monster like Zhou Leng could do. I think that naked human martial artist inside must be Zhou Leng."

Shanheyuan's eyes slowly lit up, and a smile appeared on his face.

"It must be him!"

The giant furnace stepped down and said, "I'm going to find him."

boom……

He slammed into the divine blood magma like a cannonball, his body surging with powerful, furious blood energy to protect him as he swam rapidly into the depths.

A moment later, they sensed Zhou Leng below.

"It's me, Giant Furnace. You must be Zhou Leng, right?" Giant Furnace, being a Grandmaster, isolated himself from the external magma and transmitted his voice from within.

Zhou Leng did not respond.

"Why isn't this child saying anything? Has the lava eroded his brain and made him stupid?"

The giant furnace rushed to Zhou Leng's side, grabbed his shoulders, and charged straight upwards.

boom!
The two broke through the divine blood magma and flew to the edge of the crater, where they stood.

"Zhou Leng!" Shanheyuan and Rongchui beamed with joy.

"Thank you, Brother Giant Furnace," Zhou Leng finally said.

The giant furnace froze, forgetting that Zhou Leng couldn't speak while inside the lava, and that it was he who looked like a fool whose brain had been eroded by the lava.

"Tell me, is that you who's 20,000 meters deep?"

"Let me see!" Molten Hammer and the Grandmaster rushed up to Zhou Leng and carefully examined his hands and feet.

“These are the hands and feet! I’d recognize them even if they were ashes!” the dwarf master shouted, grabbing Zhou Leng’s wrist.

Zhou Leng said, "What's wrong? I only ate a magma fruit, is it really necessary to make such a big deal out of it? How much is it? I'll pay for it."

The dwarves laughed and told them about the crystal walls.

Zhou Leng suddenly realized why the wall in one place was so smooth and different from the rest of the wall. He touched it for a while but couldn't find anything else.

Only after seeing the time on the wristwatch inside the magic bag did I begin to climb upwards.

The giant furnace asked, "Tell me, how did you manage to dive to a depth of 20,000 meters and withstand the physical strain? Even all the grandmasters present couldn't do that."

Everyone stared at Zhou Leng.

Zhou Leng suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "Medicinal fruit! I ate a magical medicinal fruit inside, and then I gained temporary physical resilience. After the medicinal effect wore off, I couldn't keep up."

"Really?" Hammer asked.

"What does the medicinal fruit look like?"

Zhou Leng said, "I can't see it, but it's about the size of a ping-pong ball and smells like alcohol."

The dwarves were in uproar, and several of them beat their chests and stamped their feet in frustration.

"What a waste! That's a Lava God of Wine Fruit, a treasure used to brew divine wine! The dwarven world hasn't used God of Wine Fruit to brew divine wine for many years!"

"spendthrift!"

"It's one thing if you eat other things, but how could you eat Dionysus fruit!"

"You were sent by the orcs, weren't you! I'll fight you to the death!"
