231: Sixteen times! One punch!

A punch carrying the aura of ancient times struck down fiercely, and visible Qi waves instantly shattered the surrounding clouds!

The Eastern Demon Alliance, which rarely saw sunlight, finally saw the light of day at this moment.

The Dragon's skull also caved in from the impact of this punch, and its white brain matter splattered out.

The Dragon, already blind, had now basically lost its ability to resist, falling straight down towards the ground.

This punch was incredibly powerful, and it wasn't easy for Chen Heng either.

The arm that threw that punch had now disappeared, with white bone fragments exposed from the 斷口.

"Tsk, only the strength doubled, but the body's toughness didn't change, huh?"

Chen Heng clicked his tongue, looking at his arm, which was only a small stump now.

"Without the blessing of the earth veins, my body is already starting to collapse."

Touching his skin, which was covered in cracks, Chen Heng kicked the Dragon again with force.

This time, the speed was much faster. Amidst the sonic boom, Chen Heng landed again.

The moment Chen Heng stepped onto the earth, his body rapidly recovered, and his disappeared arm grew back.

Looking at the several mountains around that had been flattened, Chen Heng twisted his somewhat sore neck.

"I guess sixteen times is the limit; at eight times the strength, my body started to collapse."

Chen Heng grabbed the Dragon's whiskers and dragged him towards the Divine Demon Domain.

"It seems I need to find a way to strengthen my body more."

He basically had no opponents in terms of strength now, but too many doublings would be too much for his body to handle.

Still too weak, still needs practice.

But what Chen Heng didn't notice was that the Dragon behind him had already woken up.

However, the awakened Dragon didn't make a sound; instead, he silently accumulated power within his body, planning to give Chen Heng a big surprise.

"The Kui Niu Bloodline can strengthen the body, but it requires Optimization attempts."

Chen Heng mumbled to himself while dragging the Dragon, completely oblivious to what was happening behind him.

"Looks like I need to quickly go harvest some leeks..."

As soon as his voice fell, a gaping maw enveloped Chen Heng's head.

The surrounding Devilish Qi eroded Chen Heng's five senses; vision, hearing, taste, smell, and touch all disappeared.

Chen Heng was now as if he had fallen into a void; he couldn't even perceive himself.

"Tsk, I was ambushed by the big mud loach."

Although Chen Heng's heart was still beating, he had lost the ability to breathe.

"This monster..." The Dragon barely managed to crawl up from the ground, found a place to lie down with his two dark eye sockets.

"Heh heh, it's a good thing my innate Divine Ability is Devouring Heaven and Earth, otherwise you really would have killed me."

Yes, what the Dragon had used before were merely Yao arts he had learned Acquired.

And the reason he was so powerful was because of this move, Devouring Heaven and Earth.

From mountain birds and beasts to mountain spirits and monsters, and finally to the Yao Race and Human Race, he had reached where he was today by devouring.

"I thought you wouldn't fall for it, but who would have thought you would be so careless."

"Anything devoured by me will become my nourishment; you are no exception."

The Dragon murmured with his mouth open, seemingly communicating with Chen Heng inside his belly.

But he also knew that anything he swallowed would eventually lose its five senses and become a living lump of flesh.

Feeling his body nourished by the sustenance and his injuries slowly recovering, the Dragon stood up again.

"Hahaha, you have been absorbed by me as nourishment, I don't believe you can still revive!"

Thump!

"Hmm?" The Dragon heard a muffled sound coming from who knows where, sensing his surroundings with some confusion.

But there was nothing around except a pile of ruins. Where did that sound come from?

Thump thump!

The muffled thumps became clearer, seemingly coming from within his body.

Thump thump thump!

"No! This is a heartbeat!"

The moment the Dragon realized what was happening, his abdomen began to swell rapidly.

Eventually, the Dragon exploded into two halves, his intestines spilling all over the ground.

Chen Heng stood up, his body twisted, constantly collapsing and then repairing itself.

"Indeed, sixteen times is already almost unbearable."

Chen Heng looked at his dilapidated but still usable body, then turned to look at the Dragon.

"You little brat, you dared to ambush me."

Chen Heng limped towards the Dragon, pushing up his melting face with a casual gesture.

"You, what kind of monster are you exactly?" This level of injury was not enough to kill the Dragon, but recovery would still take some time.

So the Dragon was now trying every possible way to stall for time.

He also realized that Chen Heng's current state would definitely not last; he would completely collapse in no more than the time it takes an incense stick to burn.

"Me?" Chen Heng paused, shaking his head, which had become somewhat sluggish due to the collapse.

"I am Human, a living Human."

With a melting face paired with a ferocious smile, Chen Heng's current appearance was anything but commendable.

He looked more like a villain than the Dragon.

"No more nonsense with you, I can't last much longer." c

Chen Heng shook his head and threw a punch at the top of the Dragon's head.

"Wait!"

Boom!

A fist print nearly a thousand meters wide appeared on the ground, and at the center of the fist print was the Dragon's head, smashed into a meat patty.

"Ugh~"

After throwing this punch, Chen Heng opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs.

"No, I have to change back."

Saying that, Chen Heng ended the Asura Undying Body, and his body also changed from a giant over forty meters tall back to his normal size of less than two meters.

"Damn it, I'm exhausted."

Chen Heng sat on the ground, panting heavily, his previously shattered body rapidly recovering.

"This guy is even harder to fight than that Wutong God..."

[Successfully killed the Dragon, obtained a Chaos Fragment. The Host can convert it into Optimization attempts or choose to keep it.]

"Chaos Fragment?" Chen Heng paused, then quickly opened the System panel to check.

[Chaos Fragment: One of the fragments that fell from the root, later swallowed by the Dragon.]

"It seems like a good thing." Chen Heng rubbed his chin, somewhat hesitant whether to convert the Chaos Fragment into Optimization attempts.

"How many Optimization attempts can a Chaos Fragment be converted into?"

Chen Heng still couldn't control his curiosity and asked.

[A Chaos Fragment can be converted into nine hundred seventy-six Optimization attempts.]

"What the hell?!" Chen Heng jumped up with a start. This Chaos Fragment was actually worth so much?

Then why was he hesitating? Convert... "Forget it, just keep it for me." Although Chen Heng was reckless, he wasn't a fool.

Just one fragment could be exchanged for so many Optimization attempts; this was definitely a good thing.

Fragments, fragments, there must be other fragments out there, he just didn't know what it would be like when they were all collected.

Optimization attempts could be harvested in massive quantities by simply visiting Heming City; such a rare and unique item should not be wasted.

"Not bad, it's not like there were no gains."

After sitting down and resting for a while, Chen Heng grabbed the Dragon's whiskers, which were about as thick as his waist, and stood up.

He dragged half of the Dragon's corpse towards the Divine Demon Domain.

As he walked, a crisp sound came from behind him.

It sounded like a glass bottle falling to the ground.

Chen Heng looked back and saw a dark gray, translucent sphere that had fallen out from the broken end of the Dragon's corpse.
