128: Chapter 128 The Floating God!

That was not a continent.

That was a... mutilated corpse floating in the universe!

"This... how is this possible?"

Dragon Battle's legs trembled violently, out of control, and two shocking lines of bloody tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.

As a Fourth-Rank Martial Artist, simply looking at the outline of that corpse made him feel as if his mental sea of consciousness would collapse the next second!

It was too massive.

So massive that it transcended the limits of human cognition regarding biological size!

The corpse was missing its head and left arm, leaving only a mangled torso and lower limbs.

But even so, its size was comparable to a small terrestrial planet!

A single finger hanging haphazardly in the void was far thicker than Mount Everest on Earth!

No blood flowed from its wounds; instead, they emitted visible ripples of light.

That was the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth dissipating after the fall of a god!

[Ding! High-energy warning!]

[System Prompt: Discovered 'Ancient God Clan (Mutilated)' torso!]

[Analysis: This creature's realm during its life exceeded the Ninth-Rank God King Realm. It contains high-dimensional origin laws. The residual pressure is extremely lethal. It is recommended that creatures below the Fourth-Rank close their eyes immediately, or it will result in soul annihilation!]

"Everyone, close your eyes! Do not look directly at its wounds!"

Lin Yuan gave a low shout, raising his hand to prop up a true dragon bloodline barrier, forcibly cutting off the vision of Dragon Battle and the others.

Because he had fused with the true dragon marrow and possessed a God-Demon body at the early stage of the Fourth-Rank, he could barely resist the erosion of this divine might.

"Captain... is this the Burial Ground of the Gods?" Ancient Sword Soul kept his eyes closed, panting heavily, his palms gripping his sword slick with cold sweat.

"A single corpse is as big as a planet... what kind of hellish place have we come to?"

"Don't panic, it's a place to strike it rich."

Although there was shock in Lin Yuan's eyes, there was even more greed.

With such a massive divine corpse, even if he just chipped off a piece the size of a fingernail, the energy inside would be enough for him to level up twice, right?

"Let's go, bring the ship closer, we're going to scrape off some profit..."

Lin Yuan's words stopped abruptly halfway through.

Because the Gods Insight at the center of his brow suddenly emitted an unprecedented, piercing alarm!

Even the system interface at the edge of his vision flashed with a frantic, extremely dangerous blood-red light!

"Wait..."

Lin Yuan narrowed his golden vertical pupils, pushing his vision to the limit. He looked past the layers of mist surrounding the planetary-scale corpse toward its abyss-like chest.

The next second.

Lin Yuan felt his scalp go numb. A chill rushed straight to the top of his head, instantly extinguishing his arrogant greed from a moment ago.

"Holy shit..."

In Lin Yuan's long-range vision,

three super interstellar motherships, so massive they were suffocating, were actually docked at the divine corpse's chest!

These three motherships were on a completely different level from the ten-thousand-meter warship they had seen at Tianshu Star.

The length of each mothership reached a terrifying hundreds of thousands of meters!

The mothership on the far left belonged to a super power from the universe's core star sector, the Cult of the Machine God!

The mothership in the middle resembled the skeleton of a living starry sky behemoth, emitting an ancient and primal ferocity. That was the vessel of the Starry Sky Behemoth Alliance!

The mothership on the right burned with dark purple abyss demon fire, with the wails of billions of vengeful souls swirling around its hull. That was the expeditionary force of the Abyss Demon Race!

"Damn it, we're late."

Lin Yuan cursed under his breath.

This was not a level that a backwater place like the Hundred Cities Alliance could even touch.

These were true cosmic giants!

What made Lin Yuan feel even more suffocated was that thousands of "miners" were densely distributed across the divine corpse's chest.

They were using various heavy Dharma treasures capable of cutting through stars to slowly chisel away at the corpse's cuticle, attempting to excavate the origin matter deep within.

And these so-called "miners"...

Every single one of them was a Sixth-Rank Grandmaster!

"Using Sixth-Rank experts as manual labor for mining?!"

Lin Yuan swallowed hard.

Above those three super motherships, three ethereal yet terrifying auras loomed, distorting the surrounding space.

Those were the overseers stationed here.

Just a stray wisp of mental fluctuation made the true dragon blood within Lin Yuan's body nearly solidify.

Eighth-Rank Great Experts!

"Retreat... Captain, let's get out of here quickly!"

Although his vision was blocked, Ancient Sword Soul sensed the immense horror outside through Lin Yuan's suddenly tensed muscles.

He said with a trembling voice, "Those who can mine a divine corpse here are definitely the unspeakable juggernaut forces from the center of the universe. Never mind those three Eighth-Rank auras—even a random Sixth-Rank miner coming out could crush us to death."

"Those are Eighth-Rank! They could blow us away with a single breath. This isn't a situation we can get involved in!"

Ancient Sword Soul was right.

Before an Eighth-Rank Great Expert, a Fourth-Rank Martial Artist didn't even have the right to be called an ant.

In this kind of asura field, even a single glance could bring about a fatal disaster.

Reason told Lin Yuan that the most correct choice right now was to turn around immediately and get as far away as possible.

However, just as Lin Yuan was about to give the order to retreat,

Rumble—!!!

The god-demon furnace deep within his dantian suddenly erupted in a violent riot!

Following the resonance of the furnace,

Lin Yuan's gaze pierced through the tens of thousands of kilometers of flesh of the divine corpse, locking onto a hidden chamber in the deepest part of its heart.

There, a single drop of golden divine blood, only the size of a fist and not yet dried, floated quietly!

[Ding! Detected 'Ancient God Origin Heart Blood'!]

[The god-demon furnace is extremely thirsty!]

[Analysis: By devouring this divine blood, the host will complete the third stage of the ultimate 'God-Demon Body Forging' transformation! The physical body will be able to withstand Seventh-Rank laws, and there is a high probability of awakening an 'Ancient God Clan Core Divine Ability'!]

Looking at the crimson prompt popped up by the system,

Lin Yuan's golden vertical pupils, which had originally intended to retreat, were at this moment completely ignited by a fire named "Extreme Greed."

God Origin Heart Blood!

Third stage of God-Demon Body Forging!

Awakening a God Clan Divine Ability!

These three terms were like the whispers of a devil, echoing frantically in Lin Yuan's mind.

This was the blood of a god!

As long as he got it, the Hundred Cities Alliance and Seventh-Rank City Lords would all be trash!

This drop of blood could save him decades or even centuries of bitter cultivation!

"Retreat?"

"As the saying goes,"

"Fortune favors the bold, while the timid starve."

He turned his head, looking at the pale-faced Ancient Sword Soul and the others:

"So what if they're Eighth-Rank? Even Eighth-Ranks have to eat and shit."

"You guys, park the ship at the edge of the Annihilation Storm, activate all stealth arrays, and wait for me here."

"Captain! Have you lost your mind?!" Dragon Battle grabbed Lin Yuan's arm, his face full of horror. "You're going up there?! There are thousands of Sixth-Ranks and three Eighth-Ranks up there!!!"
