148: The Wheel of Life and Death of the Gods

This was actually a Rank 5 nest—the Flesh and Blood Furnace! It possessed the terrifying ability to mass-produce Rank 4 and Rank 5 exotic beasts!

Even more heart-stopping was that around this Rank 5 main nest, there weren't just simple sub-nests, but over thirty Rank 4 nests of varying sizes guarding it! These Rank 4 nests came in various forms: some resembled giant spore sacs, spewing flying insects carrying corrosive spores; some were like writhing burrows, from which swarms of giant beasts covered in black bone armor crawled out; others were like twisted turrets, continuously firing energy beams. They guarded the central furnace like satellites, together forming a massive and solemn nest colony!

In the entire furnace area, the quantity and quality of exotic beasts reached a scalp-numbing level! Thousands of Rank 4 Lava Hounds, Giant Armored Beasts, and Energy Cannon Insects patrolled and roared along the edge of the lava pools. Dozens of Rank 5 Lava Colossi, as large as small mountains and composed of lava and black rock, stood at key nodes around the main nest like the most loyal guards. With every breath, they exhaled sulfurous air, and their heavy footsteps made the earth tremble. The sky was obscured by a large number of Rank 4 Blaze Wyverns and Rank 5 Shadow Winged Demons with a combat power of up to 5 million Yu, looking like burning dark clouds!

The auras of rage, chaos, and destruction intertwined, forming a forbidden zone for life!

"This is the place." Instead of fear, a sharp glint flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes. A Rank 5 main nest was worth 10,000 Honor Points! The thirty-plus Rank 4 nests around it were worth 1,000 Honor Points each! This was a massive fortune!

His appearance was like a block of ice dropped into a pot of boiling oil.

"Roar—!!!"

The nearest Lava Colossus was the first to discover him! Its massive head, made of lava and black rock, turned toward Lin Yuan, and the two jumping dark-red flames in its eye sockets suddenly surged! It let out an ear-shattering roar, and its thick, magma-dripping arm suddenly lifted, swinging violently in Lin Yuan's direction!

Boom!

A massive lava meteor, over ten meters in diameter and burning with raging flames, tore through the air like a cannonball. Carrying destructive heat and impact, it smashed down toward Lin Yuan! Even before the meteor arrived, the terrifying heatwave had already scorched the surrounding air into a distorted blur!

At the same time, the Shadow Winged Demons in the sky let out sharp screeches, turning into blurred streaks of black lightning as they dived toward Lin Yuan from different angles, their cold, glinting claws tearing through the air! The pack of Lava Hounds on the ground also acted like hyenas smelling blood, roaring as they spat out a series of high-temperature fireballs, forming a covering barrage of flames!

Further away, those Rank 4 energy cannon nests also shifted their direction, their thick energy muzzles beginning to charge, flickering with a dangerous light!

Almost instantly, Lin Yuan was caught in a three-dimensional saturated strike from the ground, the sky, and long-range artillery! The intensity of the attack far exceeded that of the previous Rank 3 nest clusters!

Facing this terrifying offensive that would force even the top Prodigies of the Taichu Divine Continent, such as Luo Hou and Luo Shen, to temporarily avoid its brunt, Lin Yuan's eyes were as cold as ten-thousand-year-old profound ice.

"heaven swallowing pagoda!"

The phantom of the ancient small tower reappeared!

Buzz!

A binding force field as heavy as a mountain instantly expanded, precisely covering a range of several thousand meters centered on him! This time, Lin Yuan pushed the intensity of the force field to its absolute limit!

The speed of the diving Shadow Winged Demons dropped sharply, as if they had fallen into thick amber; the trajectory of their swinging claws became clear and slow. The pack of Lava Hounds charging on the ground seemed to have been put into slow motion, and the speed of the fireballs they spat out was greatly reduced. Even the howling lava meteor significantly slowed down!

However, the power of the Rank 5 Lava Colossus was simply too vast! The binding force field's effect on it was greatly diminished; it could still swing its massive arm, though its movements were slightly stiff. The energy cannons charging in the distance were even further beyond the core range of the force field!

"Clear the path!"

Lin Yuan shouted low, and his Origin Dharma Body erupted!

The Supreme-level Origin Dharma Body shone brilliantly, and the majestic power of the Origin Law condensed into countless gray chains that seemed physical! These chains were not for direct attack but instead wound around the bound Shadow Winged Demons and Lava Hounds like spirit snakes!

"Constrict!"

With a thought from Lin Yuan, the Chaos Chains suddenly tightened!

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

The Shadow Winged Demons and Lava Hounds wrapped by the chains burst apart instantly in the air and on the ground like tomatoes squeezed by a giant force! Foul blood, shredded meat, and burning magma splashed in all directions! The 12.7 million Yu total combat power bonus granted by the heaven swallowing pagoda allowed every attack of the Origin Dharma Body to contain a terrifying force of 25.4 million Yu, slaughtering these bound Rank 4 and Rank 5 exotic beasts.

Simultaneously, Lin Yuan's figure moved like lightning. Under the protection of his Origin Dharma Body, he narrowly avoided the lava meteor that, while slowed, still possessed staggering power!

Boom—!!!

The meteor smashed heavily into the spot where Lin Yuan had just been standing. The earth trembled violently, and a massive lava crater formed instantly, with scorching magma and shockwaves spreading outward! Had he not dodged in time, taking this hit head-on would not have been easy, even with the protection of his Origin Dharma Body and Heavenly Evolution Robe.

At this moment, a section of the sky had been cleared by the slaughter of the chains, and the offensive of the Lava Hounds on the ground had also slowed. But the crisis was not over! The Lava Colossus that had launched the attack was already striding forward with heavy steps, crashing toward him with a rumble! Several other Lava Colossi were also alerted and began to turn their direction! The swarm of Blaze Wyverns in the sky began to spit fireballs! The light from the distant energy cannon muzzles grew brighter and brighter!

"Hmph!"

Lin Yuan snorted coldly, knowing that using conventional means to clear these high-rank exotic beasts and deal with the artillery fire was too inefficient. It would lead to a war of attrition and increase his consumption.

He no longer hesitated and decided to use his true power!

"Myriad Heavens Life and Death Wheel!"

Lin Yuan slammed his hands together in front of his chest and shouted ancient and majestic syllables!

Buzz—!

An indescribable, Supreme Law aura—as if it were the Dominator of the birth and death of all things—erupted with Lin Yuan at the center! Behind him, the vast phantom of the Origin Dharma Body suddenly became incredibly solid! In the center of the Dharma Body, a massive, slowly rotating gray wheel phantom emerged!

Upon the wheel, runes of the Origin Law of life and death intertwined and flowed. One half flowed with an emerald-green light full of endless vitality, while the other half was permeated with the deathly gray desolation that withered all things! Twenty condensed Law Dao patterns flickered on the edge of the wheel, emitting a pressure that made even this lava Hell tremble!

Myriad Heavens Life and Death Wheel: Rank 13 Origin Spell! Total combat power increased by 10 times!

Under the activation of this Supreme secret technique, Lin Yuan's vast total combat power of 12.7 million Yu instantly underwent a qualitative leap! A terrifying power capable of shaking the stars and destroying the Void Realm roared and surged within the wheel! After stacking the 12.7 million Yu combat power from the heaven swallowing pagoda's blessing, this terrifying force actually reached 139.7 million Yu!
