Zongwang: Unspeakable fear!

Chapter 1007: Attributes Enhanced Again, Peak Nourishment Activated

The mountain range separating the north and south of Jambudvipa (the southern continent) and the central continent is called the boundary mountain.

Gao Yang stood in the void, looking at the monk with red lips and white teeth blocking his way.

The monk stood with his palms in front of him, his eyes lowered, displaying a compassionate and empathetic expression.

“This humble monk is Bodhi of Iron Mountain. Benefactor, your sins are immeasurable. Come with me into Iron Mountain to atone for your sins.”

Legend has it that beyond Mount Sumeru in Buddhism, there are seven golden mountains and seven fragrant seas, with the outermost layer of the seven golden mountains being the Little Iron Enclosure Mountain.

Gao Yang looked up at Bodhi Zi opposite him. The continuous killings did not affect his mind, but they made his aura bloody and murderous. His enormous killing intent was gradually revealed in the continuous killings.

At this moment, Gao Yang, who was standing in front of the Bodhi Seed of Iron Enclosure Mountain, was standing in a vast sea of ​​blood, with an endless mountain of corpses piled up at his feet.

Gao Yang withdrew his gaze and slowly shook his head.

In the past five days, he has killed no fewer than fifty Great Luo Golden Immortals. Both the witch and the demon were swift and decisive, often engaging in direct combat upon encountering each other.

Only this Buddhist bald monk always likes to talk before a fight, his aim being to convert him effortlessly and thus obtain his luck token.

Of the three forces, Buddhism was the one he disliked the most.

They talk about the afterlife and the present life, and about compassion, but their actions are even more repulsive than those of liches.

Before Bodhi of Iron Mountain could say anything more, a sword's cry shattered the space.

Seeing this, the compassion on his face disappeared, replaced by a look of helplessness.

"Since you remain obstinate, do not blame this humble monk for showing no mercy. Shanlai!"

Bodhi Zi's left palm, which stood in front of him, emitted a dark light and slammed down towards Gao Yang's location.

Rumble~
With a single palm strike, illusory mountain ranges appeared behind Bodhizi, each exuding an ancient and primordial aura. This palm strike seemed to carry the weight of countless mountains as it crashed down on Gaoyang.

Clang!
As the sword left its mark, the endless mountain range phantom collapsed with a deafening roar.

Bodhi withdrew his palm, revealing a deep, bone-revealing wound in his palm, within which golden flames burned fiercely.

He suddenly looked up and saw that Gao Yang, who had been far away, had somehow appeared beside him, and the blade of the silver greatsword was about to slash his neck.

In an instant, the illusory images of the sun and moon appeared in Bodhi's eyes.

崆~
After a buzzing sound, the blade struck nothing.

Gao Yang looked up and found that, without realizing it, the sun and moon were now in the same sky.

Bodhi's body appeared between the sun and the moon, and Buddha's light, like water, poured down from his body, and a small mountain, no more than ten feet in size, appeared beneath him.

Although it was just a small hill about ten feet high, the moment it appeared, the surrounding space began to tremble and begin to collapse towards the hill.

Bodhi opened his eyes; his left eye was the sun, his right eye was the moon, and a pictographic character for "mountain" slowly appeared between his eyebrows.

"I am the master of Iron Mountain. Only by bowing sincerely can I enter the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss."

Bodhi spread his five fingers wide, and the Iron Mountain, which was ten feet high, trembled and fell rapidly in the direction of Gao Yang.

Wherever Iron Mountain passed, the space erupted with booming sounds, and the space began to collapse continuously, but there was no sign of it breaking apart.

Gao Yang felt the surrounding space about to be compressed into an iron plate, took a step forward, and his sword flashed.

When it reappeared, it was already behind Bodhi.

A line of blood bloomed from Bodhi's neck, and Sun and Moon Mountain collapsed with a crash.

Gao Yang didn't even glance at Bodhi's corpse. With a light tap of his foot, his figure flew to the horizon and disappeared in an instant.

A few minutes later, Gao Yang landed on the summit of a mountain.

Five days of non-stop travel and fighting did not weaken him; on the contrary, it made him better and better.

His physical injuries were largely healed during this period, as were his fighting spirit and willpower.

He took the fortune disc in his hand, looked at it, and then put it down.

At this moment, the pillar of fortune light in the fortune disc had reached a height of 163 zhang.

In the five days that followed, including the so-called Iron Mountain Bodhi Seed, a total of fifty-seven people came to block the road.

Without exception, all of these people died by his sword, their fortunes turning into a wisp of energy that disappeared into the energy storage disc.

Besides that, there were the gains Yongyao made from hunting down the gods. Fifty-seven people contributed a total of eighty-two Life Essence Crystals, seventeen Physique Fragments, eleven Power Fragments, two Will Fragments, and five Perception Fragments.

The fragments of power and physique were mainly contributed by the Lich and Demon races, while the fragments of perception and will mainly came from Buddhist monks.

Unlike fragments of physical strength, fragments of will can be directly absorbed by him, thereby enhancing himself.

Three fragments of will appeared in his hand. He burned his solar battle qi and simultaneously refined and absorbed the three fragments of will.

Immediately afterwards, golden fragments appeared in front of Gao Yang. After being scorched by the sun's fighting energy, a golden gem appeared in Gao Yang's hand.

Setting the golden gem aside, he took out two bright red physique gems.

Three gems represent one point of legendary strength attribute and two points of legendary physique attribute.

Without pausing, Gao Yang grasped the golden gem and began to absorb and refine it with his eyes closed.

A moment later, the excruciating pain subsided, and he opened his eyes.

【Power: 34→35】

Exhaling a breath of scorching air, Gao Yang took out a physique attribute and began to absorb it.

The upgrade was completed half an hour later.

[Physique: 33→35]

After the attribute enhancement ended, Gao Yang opened his eyes and revealed a smile.

His strength and constitution attributes have both reached 35 points, and the resulting improvement is not just a little bit.

At that moment, Gao Yang even wished that more people would come to kill him.

After a moment, Gao Yang took out a Life-Giving Chloe Fruit from his backpack and began to eat it.

The battles during this period were too intense, leaving him no time to heal the minor injuries within his body.

Based on previous patterns, it will take about another hour of flying before encountering the next opponent.

Let's take this opportunity to replenish our vitality and heal any minor internal injuries first.

After consuming the Life-Giving Fruit, Gao Yang sat cross-legged, his entire body enveloped in golden solar energy, which began to slowly burn him.

Under the sun's rays, the solar energy was continuously transformed into life essence, which was then absorbed by Gao Yang's body.

In just a moment, Gao Yang suddenly opened his eyes, and his bones made a series of popping sounds like popping beans.

Gao Yang raised his hand and clenched his fist, feeling the overflowing fighting spirit and power within his body, and his tense mind relaxed slightly.

Opening the network panel, Gao Yang looked at his level. During his last level up, due to the continuous battles, he still had some legendary skill points left unused.

The battles during this period have allowed him to fully absorb the improvements he gained from his previous upgrades, solidifying his foundation.

Looking at the massive amount of legendary experience on the integrated network panel, Gao Yang decided to level up again. The skills he could learn with two legendary skill points were exactly what he wanted.

"Network notification: 100000000 legendary experience points successfully frozen. Searching for the level cap of the character's current region."

"."

The familiar feeling resurfaced. Gao Yang closed his eyes and endured it. Five minutes later, the enhancement ended, and the powerful life force finally merged completely into his body.

"Network notification: Life essence enhancement successful, mutation resistance successful, physical mutation probability -1%, current physical mutation probability: 24%."

"Network notification: Successfully resisted three aberrations, peak will activated, character-related physical/willpower assessment +1, physical potential rank +1."

"Network notification: The bound user has successfully resisted the aberration six times in a row. The Peak Nourishment feature has been activated. Under Peak Nourishment, the life increase is increased by 500% each time. Once the bound user fails to resist the physical aberration, they will undergo a super-large aberration, lose all sanity, and have their lifespan reduced by 99%."

Looking at the notification on the integrated network in front of him, Gao Yang let out a heavy sigh.

The Nourishing Abnormal Core has a powerful effect. With this rare item, Gao Yang's original life force far surpasses that of other beings of the same level. Now that he has activated Peak Nourishment, every future upgrade will greatly increase his upper limit of life.

Of course, this is under the condition of peak nourishment. Once he fails to resist the mutation, it is equivalent to death.

He will need to be even more cautious with each future upgrade.

After resting for a while and calming his blood and qi, Gao Yang set off again.

For five whole days, he did not encounter a single Quasi-Saint. This unusual phenomenon made Gao Yang realize that it was not that the Quasi-Saints did not want to kill him, but that they were stopped.

This also explains why those who came to kill him were all at the level of Great Luo Golden Immortals, and even some veteran Great Luo Golden Immortals.

Gao Yang didn't know what had happened at the Quasi-Saint level, nor did he know when a Quasi-Saint would break through the blockade and attack him.

All he could do was try his best to get towards the human race. The closer he got to the human race, the lower the probability of him being stopped by the alien quasi-saints, and the safer he would be.

Of course, if possible, Gao Yang would also like to fight a Quasi-Saint, provided that only one Quasi-Saint comes.

After all, the drop rate for Quasi-Saints is far higher than that for Great Luo Golden Immortals, and the tempering required for them is also much stronger.

Nowadays, the Great Luo Golden Immortals that Gao Yang has encountered can no longer put much pressure on him, not to mention that his strength has increased significantly at this moment.

In this situation, the pressure that those Great Immortals could exert on him was even less.

In Tianlan City, it was still the same tavern, but the tavern owner had completely given up on repairing the gate.

After all, every time it was repaired, it would be destroyed again soon. The tavern owner decided to replace the door after the recent "Free Sword God" incident, since there were only two days left.

"The Free Sword God has already arrived at Crane Dance Pool. At his speed, he should be able to reach our Tianlan City in another two days, right?"

"That's right. Once we arrive at Tianlan City, we've completely entered the heartland of the human race. Those demons and monsters can no longer appear openly. For Senior Free Sword God, we're safe now."

"Once Senior Zizai arrives in Tianlan City, I must go and see your splendor."

As soon as one of the cultivators finished speaking, many of the other cultivators in the tavern nodded in agreement.

It's impossible for everyone not to be curious about this free-spirited swordsman who has stirred up the winds and waves in Jambudvipa.

That's a Golden Immortal of the Great Luo Dynasty who can defeat a Quasi-Saint, a peerless genius. If you could meet him, you might have a great opportunity fall into your lap.

Being able to receive guidance from such a person might save one decades of arduous cultivation.

In an instant, the atmosphere inside the tavern became lively.

But just then, a cold snort broke the lively atmosphere in the tavern.

Those present in this tavern all possessed cultivation, and the vast majority of them were Earth Immortals or higher who had already entered the path of immortality. In addition, this cold snort was made without any attempt to conceal it, thus instantly attracting the attention of all the cultivators in the tavern.

A man looked up at the young man sitting in the corner, his tone scrutinizing: "This fellow Daoist seems to have some insights?"

The young man raised his head, his gaze sweeping across the entire room, and snorted coldly again: "I wouldn't presume to offer any insights, but I think you might all be too optimistic. That Free Sword God might not even make it to Tianlan City."

With a bang, a fairy dressed in an ice-blue palace dress stood up, her pink eyes filled with anger as she glared at the young man and questioned him: "How dare you, a mere Celestial Immortal, make such a presumptuous statement? Senior Zizai Sword God is an unparalleled genius of the sword path, and with the cultivation of a Great Luo Immortal, he can defeat a Quasi-Saint."

How come when it comes to you, it's become that you can't even reach Tianlan City?

"What, you sent a quasi-saint to try and ambush Senior Free Sword God?"

Faced with the fairy's anger, the young man's sneer not only did not disappear, but became even more pronounced: "Let me ask you all, how many people has the Free Sword God killed in these eight days?"

“There are seventy-one practitioners in total, representing the three paths of witchcraft, demonism, and Buddhism,” a cultivator announced on the spot.

The young man drank the immortal wine in his cup and said coldly, "Seventy-one Great Luo Golden Immortals, that's at least seventy-one zhang of fortune. Add to that the one hundred zhang of fortune he already had, and now the Free Sword God alone carries more than one hundred and seventy zhang of fortune."

Surely you all know what such fortune signifies?

Before anyone could answer, he continued, "Do you think the three paths of the Lich King, Demon King, and Buddha would allow this sword demon, who killed dozens of their Great Luo Golden Immortals, to successfully escape to the human realm?"

Or do you think they will give up this fortune of over 170 zhang and let it be incorporated into the human race?
A fortune of over 170 zhang is an immense fortune that cannot be ignored by any party in the Southern Continent at present.

Anyway, if it were me, even if it meant sending a near-saint and bearing the infamy of bullying the weak, I would still keep that fortune within my own borders.

"Papa papa ~"

After the young man finished speaking, applause rang out from opposite him. A hint of doubt appeared in the young man's eyes as he looked at the Taoist sitting not far away opposite him.

"Fellow Daoist's analysis is very clear, but it makes me suspicious. All of us here are thinking that the Free Sword God can safely reach Tianlan City."

Why do you, fellow Daoist, choose to stand on the side of the three paths of Witch, Demon, and Buddha, and try to think about problems for them?

Could it be that you are...?

Before the Taoist could finish speaking, the young man's expression changed.

He could no longer maintain his composure, and immediately stood up, glaring at the Taoist opposite him, and retorted, "Slander! You are slandering me! I was merely calculating defeat before I even knew what I was going to win."

Do you really think the other three realms would willingly allow the Free Sword God to bring that immense fortune back to the human race?

The Taoist glanced at him with disdain and said scornfully, "We don't know whether they are willing or not, but what I do know is that all the human fellow Daoists present hope that Fellow Daoist Zizai Sword God can return as soon as possible. No one would have the same thought as you."

"That's right, this person has shifty eyes and is obviously a treacherous person."

"To even curse the Sword God of Freedom, he must be a spy sent by the demon race!"

"Get out!"

Amidst shouts and curses, the previously shrewd young man rushed out of the broken tavern door in a disheveled state and quickly disappeared at the end of the street.

If fighting hadn't been prohibited in Tianlan City, this young man would have been killed by the enraged cultivators.

Gao Yang, who was on his way to Tianlan City, was unaware of what was happening there.

He simply kept to his destination, and if anyone blocked his way, he would kill them before continuing on his way.
