Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 714 Great Power
It was a colossal creature twenty meters tall that had devoured countless lives and was rumored to have devoured five demigods, possessing near-immortality.

The Lamp of Eternal Darkness is a subordinate of the Lord of Flesh and Blood.

Once war breaks out with the Lamp of Eternal Darkness, the Flesh Lord will arrive quickly, and the conflict must be resolved in a short time.

The Endless Battlefield is many times larger than Earth. Zhou Leng calculated that if he searched randomly, he didn't know how long it would take to find the next one. It would be better to try killing first, and if that didn't work, he could look for the next newly promoted demigod.

Unlike the Sword of Innocence, a demigod with a head full of muscle, the Lamp of Eternal Darkness is a mage who is capable of all sorts of schemes.

As expected, he would inevitably guess that a demigod would hunt him down and prepare accordingly.

However, time waits for no one; there is only one month left.

Unable to approach directly, Zhou Leng captured nearby patrolling demons, learned about the Eternal Darkness Lamp in detail, and, with the help of the information in the demon brain, did his homework.

The Lamp of Eternal Darkness has twelve demon lamps, but details of seven of them are currently known; the other five have never been seen by anyone.

Then, a plan was developed.

After much deliberation, an irreparable flaw was discovered, one that no solution could fix.

Playing away from home, they have no advantage in terms of timing, location, or support.

Zhou Leng thought for a moment and decided to choose the most straightforward method.

When the time came, he entered the camp of the Eternal Darkness as the Flesh Butcher, like a wriggling fat man.

The small palace of the eternally dark lamp is located in the center of the camp.

The palace was built using magic and is about forty or fifty meters in circumference.

When the two sides were 300 meters apart, Zhou Leng selected a large hammer from the spoils of war.

The demigod orc's weapon was a full six meters long.

Without saying a word, he gripped it with both hands, activated the Great Sun Divine Skill, and slammed it violently into the ground.

boom!
The powerful celestial energy, along with the power of the semi-divine artifact, spread in all directions across the earth.

Large cracks spread and expanded, creating ring-shaped waves of soil.

Underground, dense magical light flickered.

The demonic array and spells that the Lamp of Eternal Darkness had prepared long ago were all destroyed.

Outside the palace, countless protective shields appeared, each layer shimmering and then crumbling.

Zhou Leng, carrying a large hammer, took a step forward and instantly appeared in front of the Palace of Eternal Darkness, followed by another hammer blow.

boom!
The hammer flew down, creating a huge white, ring-shaped shockwave, like radiating circular waves of water, which filled the sky and landed on the palace.

Rumble... The palace collapsed.

As it approached, it sensed the heat emanating from the Heavenly Rank mark on the forehead; a newly ascended demigod was nearby.

Zhou Leng knew all too well how terrifying the sorcerer was.

The simultaneous explosion of thousands of cores looks powerful, but if demigod mages are given sufficient preparation, they cannot be harmed at all.

There's only one way to fight a mage: get close and ambush them before they're ready.

However, the Lamp of Eternal Darkness is already prepared, making it unsuitable for close-range ambushes.

Zhou Leng took a step to the side, circled the edge of the palace, and frantically swung the demigod's hammer, smashing and striking relentlessly.

With a single hammer blow, a massive hemispherical shockwave of white gas erupted, causing the earth to collapse. The powerful star energy, penetrating the void and the martial domain, spread over a hundred meters, covering the entire palace.

With another hammer blow, another massive hemispherical white shockwave exploded...

Zhou Leng walked around the edge of the palace like a whack-a-mole, swinging his sledgehammer, determined not to step inside and avoid falling into the ambush of the Eternal Darkness.

Waves of earth and air surged forward relentlessly.

The ground within a 500-meter radius is constantly sinking.

One hammer blow, and it sank five or six meters.

After Zhou Leng finished smashing the palace ruins a hundred times, he and the palace sank hundreds of meters underground.

The entire palace was smashed to pieces, but various magical powers gathered it together and piled it into a mound.

Zhou Leng went all out, unleashing a hundred consecutive strikes, panting heavily.

They remained vigilant, keeping a close watch on the earthen mound without letting their guard down for a moment.

The monk was known for his cunning and treacherous nature; the fact that this eternally dark lamp arrived three days early suggests he was well-prepared.

Zhou Leng thought for a moment, then walked around the palace again, hammering away one blow at a time.

101 hammer blows, 102 hammer blows...

133 hammers...

Bang!
Then, a burst of magical light erupted like a colorful fountain, and Zhou Leng suddenly retreated, squinting his eyes.

really……

The terrifying magical power shot up thousands of meters high, enough to kill an unsuspecting lower-level demigod.

When the magical power was fully released, it exploded with a loud bang.

Where the palace once stood, only a large pit remained, in which lay a lamp demon, its body shattered into hundreds of pieces.

Of its twelve magic lamps, ten were broken.

On the last two cracked magic lamps, there was a bloodshot eye on each one.

Two big eyes stared at Zhou Leng, filled with despair, confusion, anger, and exasperation.

"who are you!"

What are you trying to do?!

"How can a demon demigod be so rude!"

"I set up 77 magic arrays and 360 spells in the palace, but none of them worked..."

"I'm going to die before I even see you..."

A voice filled with endless resentment echoed through the sky, and then the last two magic lamps shattered.

Zhou Leng felt a warmth between his brows.

Successfully killed a demigod of the same rank, and the Heavenly Rank Mark was completed.

The mark on his forehead gradually receded and shrank back into his skin.

Even after the Lamp of Eternal Darkness died, Zhou Leng did not approach it. Instead, he released a Grandmaster Puppet and sent it into the deep pit.

Reaching the edge of the shattered corpse, the Grandmaster Puppet grabbed the tattered Demon Spirit Bag.

The Demon Bag suddenly exploded, revealing the Ghostly Lamp of Eternal Darkness. Its body was semi-transparent, but the rest of its body was exactly the same.

Zhou Leng raised the sledgehammer and circled the pit, not getting close, repeatedly striking it.

Waves of force surged forward, one layer of earth and one layer of air, continuously pushing forward.

The ghost desperately attacked with spells, but all its magic was shattered by Zhou Leng's terrifying strength and the true energy of the starry sky. In the end, the ghost was smashed to pieces and exploded. The fragments of the Lamp of Eternal Darkness's corpse were smashed into powder and mixed with the soil.

Zhou Leng then dispatched a second Grandmaster puppet to approach.

boom!
A burst of green flames exploded, instantly covering an area of ​​hundreds of meters.

Zhou Leng retreated rapidly, but his body was still stained with green flames.

sizzle...

Green flames adhered to the skin.

The green flames were so intense that they couldn't be dispelled; even Zhou Leng's strong skin was burned.

The skin heals within 0.001 seconds of the burn.

Knowing that the sorcerer was cunning and treacherous, Zhou Leng saw no need to continue whipping the corpse, so he stepped into the air, quickly flew out of the pit, and fled into the distance.

On the road, his whole body was engulfed in green flames.

Despite trying various methods, the green flames could not be dispelled, but since there was no serious injury, they were left to burn.

After running for several dozen seconds, a fiery meteor fell from the sky, hurtling at an unimaginable speed, crashing to the ground and blocking its path.

A colossal giant rose from the crimson flames.

It was as tall as a seven-story building, and its entire body was composed of countless pieces of flesh and blood, representing all races, and even including parts of a demigod.

He was a giant in appearance, holding a huge butcher's knife that was over ten meters long in each hand.

The butcher's knife was thick and wide, stained with blood, and covered with countless black, wronged souls.

The lower demigod, the king of flesh and blood.

This flesh-and-blood lord possesses the immense strength of a demon god and is renowned throughout the Demon Prison and even the Ten Realms.

He once fought head-on against giants and dragons of the same rank, defeating many demigod giants and demigod dragons.

Not only that, he once single-handedly defeated five human martial saints.

Among the lower-ranking demigods in the entire Ten Realms, he ranks among the top.

Having just experienced a fierce battle, Zhou Leng knew his opponent was powerful. Since he had obtained the Heavenly Rank Mark, there was no need to fight rashly, so he turned and ran.

"Submit to me, and I will spare your life!" The Blood and Flesh Lord roared, taking long strides to catch up with Zhou Leng.

Such a massive body can instantly exceed 10 times the speed of sound, and in the blink of an eye, it has reached 20 times the speed of sound.

Zhou Leng, with his agile body, was slightly faster than the Blood and Flesh Lord, and the distance between them grew further and further.

Seeing that he could not catch up with Zhou Leng, the Blood and Flesh Lord suddenly took a quick running start, then swung his right hand and hurled the semi-divine weapon, the Butcher's Blade.

boom……

The Flesh and Blood Butcher's Blade was already a semi-divine artifact, possessing incredible power. Now, hurled with all its might by the Flesh and Blood Lord, it resembled a flying giant mountain, hurtling towards Zhou Leng at a speed far exceeding that of running.

The flesh-and-blood butcher's knife was too fast, as fast as a shooting star, igniting the air.

By the time Zhou Leng noticed and turned around, the flesh-and-blood butcher's knife, enveloped in flames, had already reached him.

The Flesh and Blood Lord smiled, as if he could see his butcher's blade slicing through a beautiful arc, cleaving the damned enemy in two.

Zhou Leng had no way to avoid it, so he instinctively reached out with both hands and grabbed the three-story-high broadsword.

His arm muscles bulged, his feet dug into the ground, and his body was pushed straight backward, leaving two deep... two-centimeter-deep trenches in the ground.

It was a full meter long, but it didn't even reach one step.

"Ok?"

The two of them were stunned at the same time.

The Blood Lord couldn't understand how a mere newly promoted demigod level Blood Butcher, who was essentially his junior, could so easily catch his greatsword.

Zhou Leng also didn't understand. Was the legendary Blood and Flesh Lord really that weak?

Wasn't he supposed to be incredibly strong, capable of defeating giants and demigods?

He glanced down at the marks on the ground.

The key issue is that I acted hastily.

The two stared at each other.

A strong wind blew by, raising a cloud of dust in front of the two.

Zhou Leng gripped the handle of the Flesh and Blood Butcher's Knife with both hands, as if he were carrying a huge door, and charged towards the Flesh and Blood Lord.

An unprecedented sense of humiliation surged through the mind of the flesh-and-blood king.

"I want you to die!"

The Flesh and Blood Lord gripped another flesh and blood butcher's knife in both hands and swung it down.

Inside Zhou Leng's abdomen, the core of the sun star surged violently.

Flames exploded, dispelling the green flames formed by the death curse of the eternal darkness lamp.

An immense force reverberated within his body.

The two men approached each other, and their two giant swords clashed.

boom!
The two retreated simultaneously, with Zhou Leng taking a full three steps back.

The Flesh and Blood King's body was so enormous that he lost his balance, fell backward, and his body tumbled repeatedly from the impact of the immense force.

When he stood up, his hands were covered in a dense network of wounds, and blood gushed out.

He looked at Zhou Leng.

Zhou Leng's hands had smooth, delicate skin, as if there wasn't a single wound.

The two of them looked at each other with puzzled expressions.

One is, what's the situation?
The other one too, what's going on?
Zhou Leng flew forward, wielding the Blood and Flesh Butcher's Blade, and slashed at the Blood and Flesh Lord.

In an instant, a hundred cuts.

Boom boom boom...

The demons in the distance saw continuous white shockwaves spreading out, raising huge clouds of dust, but they could see nothing else.

It rang for who knows how many tens of thousands of times before finally stopping.

Zhou Leng threw away the broken butcher's knife and stood on the chopped corpse of the Blood and Flesh Lord, panting heavily.

"They're quite difficult to kill."

Take the Demon Spirit Bag and dismember the Flesh and Blood Lord.

We've sorted out a total of seventeen headless god components—a great harvest!
