Lu Mingfei, become the King of Elden!

End of Chapter 158 (Bonus chapter for 400 monthly votes)

The giant snake's eyes had been completely gouged out by Lu Mingfei, and its long tail twisted and continued to attack Lu Mingfei's body.

The bone spur at the end had somehow become embedded in Lu Mingfei's thigh, its smooth end a mark from being severed by the Greatsword of the Lost Knight.

He is a descendant of the Lord of Power, and even without eyes, He can sense the "eyes" of heaven and earth.

Lu Mingfei was left with only one greatsword; the other was completely jammed between the giant snake's bone plates. The earth-shaking commotion forced Lu Mingfei to completely abandon his beloved sword.

He raised his arms high, gripped the hilt of the last remaining sword with both hands, and thrust it down fiercely and with all his might.

The sword, polished and strengthened by forging stones, is still a peerless divine weapon forged by a master craftsman, even without the blessing of the boundary rules. It lacks an alchemical domain, but its hardness alone is enough to rival those alchemical weapons.

However, this also means that Lu Mingfei cannot use ordinary dragon-slaying methods—the Philosopher's Stone or Mercury—to kill this giant serpent. He needs to use the most primitive and violent method, namely, to completely destroy its brain.

Snap! Pfft—

The sword pierced through the scales and bone plates on the giant snake's head, areas that had already been broken and shattered by the intense blows of the "dragon claws," leaving them extremely fragile.

The blade pierced into the soft, warm tissue below without any resistance.

With a blank expression, Lu Mingfei pressed all his weight onto the greatsword, his feet firmly planted on the giant snake's twitching head, his dragon-scale-covered hands gripping the hilt tightly, and began to stir with all his might!
*Sizzle...* *Gurgle...*

A chilling sound came from deep within the wound where the blade had pierced.

Lu Mingfei's arm muscles rotated like a winch. He could clearly feel the resistance the sword encountered inside the giant snake's head. It was the tough nerve bundles, the fascia protecting the core, and the brain belonging to the next generation of the species!

"Roar...woo...ow—"

The wreckage emitted painful whimpers and cries, its massive body convulsing violently and erratically. Its struggles were no longer aggressive, merely the final twitching of its life force.

Finally, after the sword had churned inside his skull for more than half a turn, almost completely destroying the internal structure into a bloody mess, Lu Mingfei exerted all his strength and tried to pull the greatsword out.

hum!
The sword emitted a low groan and remained motionless!
It was firmly welded inside by the fragments of the shattered skull and the mixture of churned brain tissue. No matter how hard Lu Mingfei exerted himself, even the snake scales under his feet were cracked by his footsteps. The greatsword of the Lost Knight, which had accompanied him in his battles until now, seemed to have become part of the giant snake's head, and could no longer be separated from it.

"How tragic, like his monarch, all looks and no brains."

A sigh appeared in Lu Mingfei's ear, seemingly out of nowhere.

“Brother, we can’t kill Him completely like this. His other brain is hidden in the spine, a meter below his head.”

The little devil's voice was soft and faint, like a lament from the dust of history, yet it pierced through the roar of the giant serpent and the howling of the storm, appearing clearly in his ears.

However, Lu Mingfei had already lost two weapons, and the other weapons in the armory were insufficient to penetrate the giant snake's defenses.

No.

There's one more.

Although he couldn't exert his full strength, it was enough.

His left hand, covered in jet-black scales, plunged violently into the side of the giant serpent's head—a wound torn open by the dragon's claws and churned by the greatsword! His five fingers formed a claw, the edges of the scales like the sharpest blades! He roared, his arm muscles erupting with terrifying power, tearing through the tough serpent skin and the damaged muscle fibers beneath along the wound!

Tsk-!
Like tearing through tough leather! Dark red dragon blood and shattered tissue gushed out, revealing pieces of the dragon's spine tightly interlocked, pale and ghastly.

The space in Lu Mingfei's hand distorted slightly, and a huge giant sword instantly appeared in his hand.

The greatsword had a very peculiar shape, a design that would never appear in this world, and it had almost no practical value in combat. It looked like a skeleton made up of countless discarded weapons melted and glued together, enormous and terrifying, incredibly heavy, a weapon that only a superhuman warrior could wield.

Lu Mingfei imitated the lion hybrid, attempting to infuse it with his own primal power, and unleashed the powerful combat technique.

This combat technique almost drained his last bit of original power, but the resulting physical enhancement was also terrifying.

Lu Mingfei let out a painful roar.

The greatsword seemed to come alive!

From the jagged protrusions and broken teeth on the sword, countless phantoms filled with resentment and pain erupted.

Like vengeful spirits breaking free from the shackles of hell, they emitted piercing screams, coiled around Lu Mingfei's arms, and burrowed into his body through the gaps in his scales.

A vow of revenge!

It transforms the pain, anger, and destructive desires of countless deceased individuals before their deaths into the power of a curse, forcibly bestowing it upon the user and enhancing their all-around strength.

If Lu Mingfei had not already crossed the threshold of the third level of bloodlust, and his dragon-transformed body was incredibly strong, and his soul had not been tempered into something as hard as steel through countless battles, the backlash from the vengeful spirit would have instantly torn his spirit apart and burst his body!
"what--"

Lu Mingfei roared, his arm muscles bulging as he was surrounded by vengeful spirits, his veins bulging violently like writhing dragons. He raised the greatsword, which seemed to have been forged in a hellish furnace, high above the exposed core of the spine of the skeletal remains, and with a resolute determination to destroy everything, he plunged it in fiercely!

Boom—Pfft—Crack!
"Awooo—!!!!!"

The dust wreckage let out its final, desperate howl!
His enormous, mountain-like body, like a puppet whose strings had been removed, had all its struggles and convulsions extinguished in that instant.

The enormous head crashed helplessly into the mud, its molten gold vertical pupils extinguished, instantly turning into deathly silence, with horror and pain eternally remaining in its eyes.

Pfft!
Lu Mingfei could no longer hold on, his knees buckled, and he collapsed heavily to his knees beside the giant snake's cold corpse.

The jet-black scales covering its entire body receded rapidly like a tide, revealing a broken body riddled with deep, bone-revealing wounds, cracked skin, and constantly oozing dark red blood.

He coughed violently, spitting out large mouthfuls of bloody froth, and his body convulsed uncontrollably.

The power brought by the third burst of blood disappeared like the receding tide, leaving only a body on the verge of collapse and pain that penetrated to the bone marrow, as if even the soul was trembling.

The flames in the golden eyes were completely extinguished, leaving only a faint light that flickered amidst boundless exhaustion and pain, as if it might be extinguished at any moment.

Rain washed over his mangled body, the blood mingling with the mud.
