Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 706 Bait
The Demon Angels exist between ordinary life forms and cosmic life forms, and their bloodline is close to that of a mid-level civilization.

They have always considered themselves superior beings, and they will not intervene unless the Demon Prison is annihilated.

They occasionally travel between different realms, and some of these demonic angels are very famous and have been recorded in various places.

Zhou Leng glanced around and recognized several Demon Prison Angels.

The fallen holy soul of the flesh and blood angel race, its whole body is a bloody mess, like a human whose skin has been peeled off, with a tall figure and fleshy wings on its back.

The Steel Wing Spear of the Holy Sword Angel race is covered in silver metal armor, with a pair of gleaming sword wings formed by the great swords on its back. It is domineering and powerful, and its appearance is far superior to that of flesh and blood angels.

Dragon Peak, a member of the Dragonbone Angel race, has her entire body reassembled from complete dragon bones into a human form. Her entire body consists of bones, making her far more imposing than any undead life form.

Zhou Leng didn't recognize the Blacklight Angels because their appearance was that of a humanoid silhouette of black light, with black wings, making it impossible to distinguish their features.

In addition, there are several other races such as the Hundred Insect Angels and the Lava Angels.

They usually live on the eighteenth level of the Demon Prison, and this was the first time Zhou Leng had ever seen so many Demon Prison angels.

Zhou Leng glanced at them and continued walking.

Some cultivators looked at Zhou Leng's back.

Everyone speculated that this human had acquired some new magical artifact, and that's why he barged straight in.

Soon, we reached the 20-kilometer mark.

Here, only two dragons remain, both renowned.

One of them is a platinum dragon, radiating ancient light.

One is a necromancer dragon, the ashes of darkness.

The two of them have a greater than 90% chance of becoming demigods.

He is the most outstanding genius in the Ten Realms.

The two dragons stood a hundred meters apart, their bodies shimmering with colorful light, and various destructive stellar forces generated layers of light spots on their surfaces.

Zhou Leng glanced at it and continued walking.

The two dragons raised their heads, looking at the human's back with puzzled expressions.

Twenty kilometers is the limit for beings below the level of a demigod.

Even the most outstanding Grandmaster Kings of each race can only cultivate within this distance in the end.

Going too far in could cause too much damage and be a losing proposition.

The two dragons were somewhat puzzled, but thinking that the other party might just be testing the waters and would return soon, they simply watched.

Let's see how far this human can go.

Twenty-one kilometers, twenty-two kilometers...

Thirty kilometers, forty kilometers, fifty kilometers...

It disappeared into the depths of the light and could not be seen.

The two dragons exchanged a glance, their confusion deepening.

Is this human being from the dead?

Deep within the light, Zhou Leng continued forward, his path unobstructed.

This continent spans thousands of kilometers.

Before long, a huge slope appeared in front of Zhou Leng.

Deep within the slope, the light was intense, radiating a destructive stellar power dozens of times greater than before.

At the same time, a strange power emerges here, seemingly a mixture of various complex emotions and feelings.

Brutal, insane, painful, desperate...

Zhou Leng slowed his pace.

As expected, this is the epicenter of the simultaneous explosion of ten thousand cores.

The white light in front of us gradually turned into color.

Before Zhou Leng's eyes were at least three thousand colors, far more than the colors that ordinary people could recognize.

The source of the light was a peculiar thing, probably like a lake of colorful light on the ground.

It resembled a viscous, crystalline liquid predominantly bright blue, with streaks of colored liquid flowing along it, radiating a great deal of light.

It was clearly a liquid, yet it gushed out of the ground, like a giant blue jelly, over a hundred meters high and a kilometer long.

It is clearly above the ground, yet it can keep flowing without touching the ground.

All the destructive stellar power emanated from the lake on this land.

Zhou Leng sensed some destructive star power, but it was slightly weaker than that of the True King's Land.

In the face of an immortal celestial body, this destructive stellar power is insignificant.

Zhou Leng slowly approached the colorful lake, observed it carefully, and walked around it once.

This is the very center of the simultaneous explosion of ten thousand cores, and this lake of colorful light seems to have emerged from the depths of the earth.

I walked around and didn't see anything.

The ground is unusually slippery.

With the colorful lake behind us, we gaze into the distance.

Standing at the bottom of a giant basin, with a large slope extending upwards in front of you, the edge of which is tens of kilometers away.

Zhou Leng had seen a movie co-produced by humans and demon spirit masters called "The Last Light." The movie's ending featured a scene of ten thousand cores exploding simultaneously.

All human martial artists have seen it; clips of it frequently appear online.

I've watched it at least ten times since I was a child.

Although this place is very different from the movie, the feeling is similar.

Zhou Leng sat cross-legged on the ground with his back to the colorful lake.

Take out the Star Refining Furnace and place it not far away.

A massive amount of destructive starlight fell upon it, making it shimmer.

After reading the materials given to him by Crystal Dust, Zhou Leng searched for places with abundant starlight.

The basic function of the Star Refining Furnace is to refine stars.

Ordinary energy sources simply cannot power it.

The basic energy source for the Star Refining Furnace is a sun.

A typical star-refining furnace often contains millions of suns as energy sources simultaneously.

A Star Refining Furnace is a star field, a world unto itself.

Therefore, one cannot use the Star Refining Furnace without becoming a Void Saint.

However, the records of advanced civilizations contain a little trick that allows one to activate the Star Refining Furnace in advance.

Sufficient stellar energy, or sufficient stellar power.

The star power here contains too much destructive star power, so it's not the best choice, but it's still star power at least.

Zhou Leng glanced at the Star Refining Furnace, then at the Colorful Lake.

"Hopefully, the starlight here is enough to power it..."

Then, I closed my eyes and sat quietly.

Without cultivation or internal energy manipulation, they simply use the instincts of their immortal celestial bodies to fight against the destructive celestial forces.

In addition, keep your mind completely blank and enter a state of absolute nothingness.

Time slowly passed. After an unknown amount of time, countless points of light began to appear in the pitch-black world before our eyes.

The specks of light slowly floated and moved, increasing in number and number.

Finally, numerous points of light intertwined to form a series of chaotic images.

At first, the images were a mess.

But as the number of light spots increased, the image became clearer and clearer.

A group of young men and women dressed in designer brands gathered together.

The gate opened, and a group of demons walked in.

Those young masters and ladies who were usually so arrogant were now bowing and scraping, with fawning smiles on their faces.

The demon sat down, and the young masters and ladies handed over the documents they held.

"This is... a defense map, from my dad..."

"This is the complete list of participants..."

"This is electromagnetic... data... from my grandfather..."

After collecting all the data, the demon first gave each human present a bottle of magic potion.

In the blue medicine, countless tiny insects swam about.

They took the potion, their eyes gleaming with a mixture of joy and fear, drank it, their veins bulging, and they let out roars that were both painful and pleasurable.

Then, the scene changes.

In one important base after another, the key figures who were originally in charge of command suddenly became demonized, their bodies strangely deformed.

Some important figures laughed and deliberately slaughtered the humans in the base.

There are also some people who, in a semi-demonized state, managed to prevent themselves from becoming demonized through sheer willpower.

He drew his sidearm and pointed it at his temple.

"Humanity is indomitable!"

boom!
Important bases were breached from the inside, and the monsters outside launched a full-scale attack.

Blue Star is burning.

Images flashed by one after another.

On battlefields, humans, armed with powerful firearms, slaughter ordinary monsters.

But then, the powerful demons, armed with firearms, charged into the position and began a massacre.

Whenever powerful demon warriors gather in sufficient numbers, divine light flashes, the earth trembles, shockwaves tear everything apart, and mushroom clouds rise slowly.

The earth fell silent.

The dynamic footage of the last war between the ten realms flashed quickly before Zhou Leng's eyes.

Another scene unfolds before my eyes.

A sorcerer pointed a finger, and the ground in front of him collapsed, revealing a large hole.

A human in a white coat directed the Iron Dwarfs to slowly lower a huge box into the pit.

Then, the magic master took out a spider-shaped magic artifact and placed it on top of the box.

The bulldozer buried it, and the sorcerer used magic to cover up the traces.

Finally, the treant slowly walked over, restoring the ground to its original state, so that even the magic master could not detect it.

The next shot is an overhead view of the land.

Within a radius of tens of kilometers, countless humans and spirit masters are burying boxes of all sizes underground.

Once everything was buried, in the center, the demigod magic masters erected a massive magic array with a diameter of one kilometer on the ground.

A massive amount of magical materials were invested, and countless magical masters continuously cast spells.

An old man, accompanied by a large group of researchers, stood outside the magic array.

The moment Zhou Leng saw the old man, his body trembled slightly.

Wu Zu Yu Zhimin.

The initiator and leader of the 10,000 Core Project.

He successfully lobbied humans, iron dwarves, and spirit masters to implement the Ten Thousand Cores Project, codenamed "Project Houyi".

“Old Yu, you are humanity’s last hope. Please evacuate immediately. We will act as bait,” a middle-aged man said.

Yu Zhimin smiled slightly, looked into the distance, and said, "Those traitors have leaked Hou Yi's plan to some extent. The Demon Alliance probably knows that we will use nuclear weapons, but they don't know how to use them."

One of them said, "But your identity has already been exposed. They already know that you are the leader of the Houyi Project."

Do you know who leaked my identity?

"I don't know." Everyone shook their heads and sighed, while some were filled with righteous indignation.

"it's me."

Everyone looked at Yu Zhimin in surprise.

“From the very beginning, I was the biggest bait in Hou Yi's plan. As long as I'm here, they'll come whether they want to or not. Cough cough…”

"Old Yu..." Everyone looked at him.

Yu Zhimin coughed softly, covered her mouth with her hand, and then put her hand behind her back.

He was laughing heartily, but blood was slowly trickling from between his teeth.

Blood dripped from his fingertips behind him.

He personally oversaw Operation Ten Thousand Nuclears and came into contact with too many related weapons. Even with the protection of a magic master, his body was still eroded by nuclear radiation.

"Moreover, we have a total of twenty-three decoys..."

Yu Zhimin turned her head and looked at the elderly people around her.

These people were all executors of Hou Yi's plan, and each of them looked older than their actual age.

Everyone suffers from physical ailments due to excessive nuclear radiation.

Their strong will sustained their bodies as they participated in scientific research and fought against monsters, finally arriving here.

There were twenty-three white-haired elderly people standing on the ground.

Zhou watched calmly.

At that time, humanity had not yet entered the martial arts era.

They are neither martial artists nor demon mages.

Their bodies are the weakest in the Ten Realms.

Their spirit and will are unparalleled in the ten realms.

Yu Zhimin looked at the young researchers in the team and said, "We will stand our last post. Now, the baton of humanity is passed to you. The reason we are willing to stand here is not for any other reason than that we firmly believe that victory belongs to humanity. Go back, the motherland and the people need you."

The young researcher reached out to wipe away the tears that were streaming down his face, speechless.

"Don't be afraid, walk boldly towards that future where there are humans."

Those young people slowly walked away.

Twenty-three elderly people stood in the wind, smiling as they watched the young man's retreating figure.

On their shoulders, they carried the weight of their own Shangganling.

A mortal body, yet as mighty as a god.
