Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 657 Disciple
Desperate Winter glanced at Zhou Leng, who was healing, then stretched out its claw, picked up the Star-Slaying Sword, and examined it closely.

"As expected of the True King's sword, it's very strong, but it's too small. It's not even big enough to pick my teeth..." He shook his head and put it back.

The giants in the distance looked on in fear at the Winter of Despair.

Only Li Shenkong stared at the Star-Slaying Sword, his expression complex.

What power did Zhou Leng infuse into the Star-Slaying Sword?
What if the Star-Slaying Sword no longer recognizes me?
What if I can't get it back?
He was covered in injuries, but he couldn't calm down, couldn't sleep, and even his internal energy cultivation was distracted; he could only endure it.

Three hours later, Zhou Leng opened his eyes, put away the Frost Armor, and looked at his body.

The injuries are mostly healed, but it will take several more days for a full recovery.

"Why are you here?" Zhou Leng looked at Jue Si Zhi Dong.

"I want to learn divine script from you." He said earnestly.

"Do not have time."

"Then we'll wait until you have time." Jue Si Zhi Dong was completely unreserved, just as carefree, or rather shameless, as when he directly invited Zhou Leng to be his tutor.

Zhou Leng ignored him, grabbed the Star-Slaying Sword, and handed it back to Li Shenkong.

"You're practicing the 'Nineteen Swords of Star Slaying'?" Zhou Leng asked.

"Yes."

“I’ve seen a few of your sword techniques, and they’re very impressive. However, because you haven’t learned more basic sword techniques, your foundation is not solid. Next time the Ancient River Sect recruits disciples, you should participate as well. I will pass on this set of ‘Zhou Tian Xing Gui Sword’ to you, and I guarantee that your sword techniques will greatly improve.”

"Yes." Li Shenkong sensed an even stronger power emanating from the Star-Slaying Sword, carefully sheathed it, and placed it back in its case.

Zhou Leng didn't mention the light, nor did he.

The longsword returned, putting Li Shenkong at ease. He put down the tent, swallowed the pill, and fell asleep immediately.

Zhou Leng looked at Li Shenkong's tent and shook his head helplessly.

I'm practically a transport team leader myself.

The sword energy obtained from the ruins of the Ancient River Sect unexpectedly entered the Star-Slaying Sword automatically, benefiting Li Shenkong.

Forget it, they're all human race members, and from now on they'll be my junior brother... no, my great-great-great-great-grandson.

Zhou Leng approached the giant and the remaining undead dragon god to learn about the situation.

Among these undead dragon gods were many dragon-carp people, whom I had seen before.

The two sides used gestures and words to understand the general situation.

It turns out that the ancient call triggered a cataclysmic change in the world.

The undead beasts were forced to migrate, and the powerful undead beast clans took the opportunity to wage war and expand their power.

The Dragon Carp race was also affected.

The three-headed demigod dragon carp was surrounded by demigod beasts and its whereabouts are unknown.

The remaining dragon carp were chased and could only flee.

As a result, they encountered a large army of giants and were surrounded by the God-Death Beasts. The two originally opposing races were forced to join forces.

“This place is going to be very dangerous next,” Zhou Leng said, frowning.

"Everything is in chaos."

Just as Zhou Leng was about to say something, a great earthquake shook the distance.

Winter of Desperation flapped its wings and flew into the air, swooping down and stretching out its claws to grab Zhou Leng.

"what are you doing?"

“There are a lot of demigods in the distance. Run! If you don’t run now, it will be too late.”

A massive number of divine beasts burst forth from the fog, densely packed and stretching as far as the eye could see.

Among the vast horde of undead beasts, one after another enormous demigod undead beast was looking over.

"Run!" Winter of Desperation said as he fled.

"We can't abandon them!"

"We will die here."

"Where are the undead dragons? In the name of the True Dragon King, I command the demigods and undead to join forces and annihilate the undead beasts!"

"Uh...it seems like it might work."

The winter of despair hangs suspended in mid-air, howling towards the sky.

The power of the demigod expanded rapidly, quickly extending to thousands of kilometers away.

Then, the roars of the dragon gods and their spirits echoed from all directions.

The army of undead beasts, which had been about to charge forward, suddenly stopped.

Panic flashed in the eyes of the demigod beasts as they looked around.

The undead beasts are not afraid of ordinary dragon tribes, but they are no match for the entire dragon god undead.

One after another, demigod dragons and undead spirits teleported from afar and bowed to Zhou Leng.

Most of them lack teleportation abilities; they either fly or run.

From high above, one after another, colossal creatures flew in from all directions at terrifying speeds of ten times or even more than twenty times the speed of sound, converging on the direction where Zhou Leng was.

The Divine Beast was terrified, and the army slowly retreated.

The demigods retreated while whispering amongst themselves.

Their gazes occasionally swept over the corpse of the Crocodile Bear God.

Seeing the many powerful dragon god spirits around him, Winter of Despair confidently put down Zhou Leng and soared high in the sky.

"You actually sent the Divine Beasts to attack the True Dragon King, intending to challenge the entire Dragon God Undead race! You are doomed!"

The other demigods, dragon gods, and undead who arrived earlier remained calm, as if it were none of their business.

Some of the undead beasts roared loudly, unwilling to be outdone, but their steps continued to retreat.

Zhou Leng collected the corpse of the Crocodile Bear God, walked to the demigods, and spoke with them.

The demigod dragon undead is far more intelligent than the undead beast.

The Dragon God Undead has been suppressing the Giant God Undead and the God Beasts, and now that they have such a good excuse, they naturally won't miss it.

They expressed their intention to punish the divine beasts, and Zhou Leng agreed.

The army of undead beasts retreated, and they advanced.

Until they retreated to the banks of the Divine Vein River, a large number of undead dragons rushed from all directions and gathered in Zhou Leng's army.

Whether in terms of sheer power or the sheer number of demigods, the Dragon God Undead possessed an absolute advantage. Half-Horn of Despair secretly transmitted a message to Winter of Despair, who immediately shouted, "Your Majesty, please give the order to crush the divine beasts that have offended you!"

"Attack!" Zhou Leng uttered divine script.

"kill!"

A massive, overwhelming horde of dragon spirits charged out.

The army of undead beasts collapsed instantly and fled in a frenzy.

The demigod dragon pounced on the demigod beast.

Winter of Desperation was extremely excited, following behind his parents and constantly launching surprise attacks on his opponents.

Upon discovering a weaker demigod, the couple left the Half-Horn of Despair and the Frost of Despair to their son, and then went to fight the other demigods.

Zhou Leng remembered that he could use the headless god, so he shouted, "Leave me a powerful god corpse, headless is fine."

"Don't worry, I'll pick the best for you!" shouted Winter of Despair.

Upon hearing this, the remaining dragon god spirits began searching for outstanding demigods.

Even a single component of a headless god can enhance a warrior's power.

If it is a complete headless corpse except for the head, its power will increase again.

However, the improvement is too small. It would be better to break it down into six pieces: chest and abdomen, arms and legs, for use by six people.

Only a complete headless divine corpse with a similar bloodline can unleash its full power, allowing the bloodline descendant's power to advance to the level of Martial Saint.

A great war between gods and the undead, which Zhou Leng did not need to intervene in, broke out on the earth.

Zhou Leng didn't sit idle; he frequently watched the battles of demigods, secretly learning from them and comparing them with the Dragon God's battle techniques.

Dragon God's combat techniques are not just moves, but also contain the Dragon God's combat philosophy.

The content is extremely profound and cannot be fully understood at present.

It is probably only after reaching the level of a Void God that one can fully comprehend it.

The battle lasted a full day and night.

The battered but exhilarated dragon god returned to the banks of the Divine River to hold a victory celebration.

After this battle, the Divine Undead race suffered nearly half its losses, and for the next several thousand years, it will be unable to compete with the Dragon God Undead.

Zhou Leng selected the corpse of the most powerful high-level demigod beast, the "Rock Armor Earth Dragon God," which was a full fifty meters long, and asked the demigod for help to dismantle it into six parts.

Zhou Leng then used his internal energy to withdraw from the arm of the demigod beastman and successively used the Starry Sky True Energy to refine the six-piece headless god component.

The process went smoothly, but the result was a little unexpected.

The headless god can only refine normal demigods, while the Rock Armor Earth Dragon God possesses divine bloodline and has an extremely strong life force.

After refining, peculiar rock-like bone fragments remained, attached to the body.

They might as well refine it into a heart-protecting mirror to protect the heart.

After refining was complete, Zhou Leng closed his eyes and used his martial arts perception.

The power of the Rock Armor Earth Dragon God far surpasses that of the orc demigod's arm.

As his own strength increased, the effect of the headless god became weaker and weaker. The overall strength increase from the headless god's arm dropped from about 20% to less than 50%.

As expected of the Rock Armor Earth Dragon God, possessing divine bloodline, its power increased to the limit by 30%.

This pushed Zhou Leng's physical strength to unimaginable limits.

Even if he advances to Martial Saint in the future, the effectiveness of this Headless God technique will at least remain at half.

The demigods and undead looked at Zhou Leng and nodded slightly.

Even when they were at the Grandmaster level, their bodies didn't reach such a terrifying level.

During the victory celebration banquet, the returning demigod dragon carp expressed his deepest gratitude to Zhou Leng.

The next day, everyone dispersed.

The giants headed to True King Mountain, while Zhou Leng headed to Dragon Bone Mountain.

The dragon carp returned to their home and rebuilt the underground city.

A legend began to circulate among the undead: the kind-hearted dragon carp helped the fallen dragon king Jue Si Leng. After the king rose to power, he summoned all the dragon demigods to attack the dragon carp's enemies and slaughtered over a hundred demigod beasts.

This great battle was named "The Wrath of the True King".

After arriving at Dragon Bone Mountain, Zhou Leng ran quickly to search.

Occasionally, one can sense objects with powerful auras, similar to dense star cores.

However, the Dragon God's bones never sensed anything.

For this purpose, they even used earth-based vehicles to infiltrate underground.

The bad news is that the Dragon God's skeleton has not yet been found.

The good news is that a bone fragment imbued with the spirit of distant mountains has been found.

It's not big, only about a foot square, probably smaller than the fingernail of a distant mountain.

But this is the true divine body.

It is not a false god, but the true god.

Even a small piece is enough to forge a top-tier semi-divine artifact.

Store it carefully in the starry sky bag.

The starry sky bag is much larger than the previous wooden space box.

The previous wooden box was only the size of a warehouse, but the space in the Starry Sky Bag is ten kilometers long, wide, and high, enough to hold a small town.

Even so large, it is only the lowest grade of star bag.

The Ten Realms have never heard of such a starry sky storage space.

After searching for a while, Zhou Leng gave up and ran towards Wanyun Mountain.

As he walked, he recalled the scenes of the battle with the demigods.

These undead fighting spirits are generally crude, but at crucial moments, they seem to be possessed by gods, always able to use extremely wondrous moves.

Some of the moves are so exquisite that they even surpass human martial arts.

Zhou Leng memorized everything, and the lessons kept popping into his mind.
