PFC Chapter 283: Utterly Boiling Point!
Chapter 283: Utterly Boiling Point!
"Smelly boy..."
Xia Gucheng tilted his head back and took a swig of wine, his deep eyes flashing, and murmured, "Don't actually die in there."
Inside the tower.
"boom--"
A deafening explosion rang out!
The dark gold puppet, which had been kneeling on the ground with its breastplate shattered, suddenly swelled up.
The outer metal shell shattered inch by inch, and fragments scattered like rain!
"Roar--!!!"
A roar that seemed to come from the ancient wilderness shook the entire space violently!
As the fragments dissipated, a ferocious beast, four zhang tall and covered in deep purple scales, appeared before Li Wudao.
It resembles a giant lion, but is several times larger than ordinary lion-like monsters.
Three crimson eyes hung like a blood moon, their cold and brutal gaze sending chills down one's spine.
A row of bone spikes on its back stood up like spears, gleaming coldly. It was surrounded by violent, deep purple lightning snakes that crackled and exploded, ionizing the air and giving off a pungent, burnt smell!
The moment it appeared, the entire space was filled with deep purple lightning power!
Countless fine electrical traces appeared on the ground and walls, the air was as heavy as lead and mercury, and every breath was accompanied by a numbing and stinging sensation!
"Half-step Martial Venerable... no, this aura is already close to the true Martial Venerable realm!"
Li Wudao's pupils contracted sharply, and a chill ran through him.
This second form of the Thunder Lion Lord is at least 30% stronger than the previous Dark Gold Puppet!
"Roar--!!!"
The Lion Lord gave Li Wudao no chance to catch his breath. Its three crimson eyes blazed with blood-red light, and its massive mouth opened wide.
A deep purple beam of lightning, nearly ten feet in diameter, suddenly erupted forth!
Wherever the beam of light passed, space was torn open with dark cracks.
Before the devastating power of the lightning strikes even reached him, Li Wudao felt his hair stand on end and his skin sting and become numb!
"Shrink to the ground!"
He moved with lightning speed, instantly shifting ten zhang (approximately 33 meters) to the side!
"boom!!!"
The spot where they had been standing was blasted into a bottomless crater by the pillar of lightning.
The pit walls were charred and melted, with purple electric snakes leaping incessantly along the edges, emitting a teeth-grinding "sizzling" sound.
Li Wudao stood in the distance.
He caught a glimpse of a few strands of hair, severed by the aftershocks of the lightning, still drifting in mid-air, and swallowed hard.
Damn, this guy's destructive power is terrifying!
If hit head-on, even the mighty Pure Yang Saint Body would be injured.
"We can't just sit here and take the hits! Right, it's a puppet conjured by the tower spirit; it must have a working energy core. Destroying it will mean victory..."
His double pupils flickered in his eyes as he searched for his opponent's weakness.
"The third pupil between the brows... seems to be this guy's energy core... The flow of energy at the seventh scale on his abdomen is stagnant, that's a flaw..."
With a thought, the Great Cataclysm Domain was fully activated.
Within a radius of fifteen zhang, space was distorted, and calamity pervaded.
The gray-white ripples spread silently, stripping away color and causing everything to wither in their wake!
The moment the Thunder Lion Lord pounced into the domain, its movements were noticeably slowed, and the Thunderous Power surrounding its body dimmed by 20%.
"It's now!"
Li Wudao moved like a ghost, instantly appearing beneath the Lion Lord's belly!
He bent over, clenched his fist, and delivered a powerful punch to the seven scales.
"laugh--!"
A piercing tearing sound exploded.
At the point where the scales were struck, the deep purple lightning energy became violently chaotic and flickered erratically.
The originally smooth energy channels suddenly twisted, causing the Lion Lord's massive body to tremble violently!
"efficient!"
Li Wudao was greatly encouraged, and with his fingers pointing like swords, he focused on attacking the lower body.
However, the Thunder Lion Lord that the puppet had conjured seemed to possess intelligence, and it actually distanced itself and stopped pursuing.
Then it roared to the sky, and the deep purple lightning power around its body gathered and compressed wildly!
next moment--
"Boom!!!"
A deep purple ball of lightning, thirty feet in diameter, with wildly dancing electric snakes, swept towards Li Wudao like a tsunami.
Innate Divine Power - Thunderous Purgatory!
"Holy crap! That's ruthless..."
Li Wudao's expression changed slightly, his entire body reflecting towering lightning.
Wherever the purple lightning passed, even space itself was distorted, leaving nowhere to hide and nowhere to avoid.
Its power is almost on par with that scoundrel Cheng Yuanliang.
In other words, this strike was no less powerful than that of a Martial Venerable!
Even his Qiongqi Domain, under the erosion of the Thunderous Light Sphere, emitted a hissing sound and melted and shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At this rate, the power of the domain will surely be broken in less than five breaths.
"Can't hold back anymore."
Li Wudao made a quick decision, a look of seriousness flashing in his eyes.
.........
Meanwhile, outside the tower.
"Boom——"
The entire Illusionary Demon Tower trembled violently, almost rising from the ground!
On the twenty-first floor of the tower, all the deep purple lightning patterns flickered and faded, as if they had been subjected to some kind of impact.
"Look... what... what is that?!"
Countless people looked up in horror.
Boundless crimson golden light burst forth from within the tower, piercing through the thick tower walls and illuminating the entire world.
Immediately, a breathtaking scene was projected—
A thousand miles of crimson clouds, appearing out of nowhere!
Endless crimson rays of light spread from the tower, illuminating the sky and dyeing the sea of clouds within a radius of dozens of miles into a dazzling golden-red hue.
The rosy clouds rolled like a sea, magnificent and unparalleled, as if the entire sky had been set ablaze!
And in the center of that magnificent red glow.
A blurry yet vast, crimson-gold phantom image is slowly condensing and rising.
In the midst of the blazing sun, one can vaguely see ancient totems of a golden crow flapping its wings and a fire dragon coiling, radiating the supreme yang power to burn mountains and boil seas and purify everything!
A thousand miles of crimson clouds, the sun high in the sky!
As soon as this phenomenon occurred, the temperature of the entire world began to rise rapidly!
The disciples nearby felt a wave of heat hit them, their hair and beards became brittle and their mouths and throats became dry!
Birds in the distance fled in panic, and roars of beasts echoed through the mountains and forests!
"It's so hot...what's wrong?"
"Everything was fine just now, but the weather's acting weird..."
The unsuspecting disciples looked up at the sky, their faces filled with confusion and bewilderment.
"No! This is an unusual phenomenon!"
At this moment, a knowledgeable elder who had been passing on his skills screamed in terror, his voice trembling:
"A thousand miles of crimson clouds, a blazing sun in the sky... This is a celestial phenomenon that only those with top-tier sacred bodies can manifest! Ancient texts record that it cannot be displayed by anyone without an unparalleled physique!"
"In my youth, I traveled far and wide, and by chance witnessed the decisive battle between two holy beings..."
The wrinkled Elder Diao stared at the strange phenomenon above his head and said in a deep voice, "There's no mistake, this is the Holy Body phenomenon!"
As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was excited.
The gasps of surprise erupted like a tsunami!
"What... this is a manifestation of the Holy Body?!"
"Hiss! The Holy Body! This is the most outstanding physique among humans. I have only learned about it from ancient books and legends, and have never actually seen it before."
"The source of this aura seems to be inside the tower... Could it be... Junior Brother Li?!"
"It really is... This is so shocking!"
"My Xuantian Sect has produced a Saint Body?!"
"No wonder Junior Brother Li has such a record. It turns out he has a Saint Body. Saint Bodies are known as invincible among those of the same level. That makes sense."
“Indeed, the Holy Body is a top-tier physique that is one in a billion, and it is rumored to have all sorts of powers. If Junior Brother Li has the legendary Holy Body, then it is not surprising.”
The disciples were excited, gesturing wildly, and exclamations of surprise, horror, and relief rose and fell.
The entire square descended into chaos, a scene of utter pandemonium.
For them, the Eucharist was a distant legend, but now it has become a reality, which is hard not to be surprised.
"I wonder which lineage's sacred body this is..."
"I can't tell its origin... but this phenomenon is terrifying! I can feel my blood surging even from this distance!"
"I pride myself on my extensive knowledge, yet I failed to recognize him. I am ashamed."
The elders were also unsettled, whispering amongst themselves and shaking their heads in bitterness, but none of them could utter the name of the Holy Body.
"This strange phenomenon..."
The white-haired elder of the Pill and Weapon Peak squinted, his eyes wide with surprise and uncertainty, and said:
"I once saw a similar record in a tattered ancient book... Red clouds reflected in the sky, the sun hung high in the air, supremely yang and masculine... Could this be..."
His expression suddenly changed drastically, and he dared not continue speaking.
"Elder Hai, please continue! Don't just leave things unfinished, it's driving us crazy!"
A disciple urged him on.
Under the eager gazes of the crowd, the elder of Danqi Peak, his mouth dry and his voice trembling, said:
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be... one of the ten superior holy bodies of the human race... the Pure Yang Holy Body!"
hiss--
The entire audience was stunned, gasping in astonishment.
Li Wudao, this controversial new disciple, not only possesses a sacred body, but is also the most elite high-level sacred body among humans?!
The crowd erupted in cheers!
