152: Indestructible Body

Imperial Capital, Demon Suppression Division, deep within the Black Prison Institute.

Lin Jingyu sat cross-legged, not a trace of Qi leaking from his body, yet his muscles were sculpted like dark gold divine iron, containing terrifying power capable of splitting heaven and earth.

Although the 'Hongmeng Creation Force Domain' spanning a thousand zhang was not deployed, the space around him felt exceptionally stagnant.

"Lord... Lord Lin!" Qin Shanhe, the Dean of the Black Prison Institute and Chief Commander of the Demon Suppression Division, pushed open the door, a lingering shock and a hint of imperceptible awe on his face.

In his hands, he held a Jade Slip flowing with profound runes and a thick stack of dossiers. "Your Majesty's personal decree! You are hereby conferred the title of 'Martial Venerable Who Guards the Nation,' with the status of a Prince! You may freely enter and exit the Imperial Palace's secret vault and mobilize all resources of the Demon Suppression Division except for the Consecrated Hall! This... this is the decree and the list of rewards!"

Qin Shanhe's voice was filled with excitement.

Having slain an eight-layered Domain Realm Demon Saint and broken through to the Domain Realm himself, Lin Jingyu's name had exploded like thunder throughout the entire Great Yin Imperial Capital!

Imperial power trembled, aristocratic families fell silent, and Sects were speechless!

Martial Venerable Who Guards the Nation — this was an unprecedented honor since the founding of Great Yin!

Lin Jingyu didn't even lift his eyelids. "Just leave them there."

Qin Shanhe paused, then quickly and respectfully placed the Jade Slip and dossiers on the nearby profound jade table. "Also... several Consecrated Elders from the Division, and that Old Ancestor from the Ji family... have all sent invitations, wishing to invite you to a banquet..."

"No time." Lin Jingyu's voice was flat. "Commander Qin, where are the things I asked for?"

Qin Shanhe immediately composed himself, took out a specially made black jade talisman, and offered it with both hands: "Lord, this is what you requested. All records in the Demon Suppression Division's secret vault concerning the 'Myriad Tribulations Indestructible Body' and the strongest ancient Body Refining Legacy have been fully transcribed here. Among them... there are indeed sporadic, extremely ancient and obscure records regarding the subsequent deduction direction of the 'Myriad Tribulations Indestructible Body'."

Only then did Lin Jingyu open his eyes, his gaze seeming to evolve Chaos as he opened and closed them. He took the jade talisman, and his Divine Thought instantly swept into it.

A massive amount of information flooded his mind:

"Myriad Tribulations Indestructible does not refer to an undamaged Physical Body, but rather to an unyielding will, with the true spirit eternally fixed within the Reincarnation of Myriad Tribulations..."

"Drawing in chaos tribulation lightning for Body Tempering, absorbing Nine Nether Evil Qi for Soul Refining, this is Tribulation Refining..."

"Transforming the Physical Body into a furnace, smelting all laws and all Dao, forging an eternal divine physique..."

"The ultimate of strength, shattering Myriad Tribulations, only then is it truly indestructible..."

...The information was fragmented, ancient, mixed with many incomprehensible runes and diagrams, full of ominous and domineering aura.

"Myriad Tribulations Indestructible Body... so that's how it is." Lin Jingyu understood in his heart.

The Myriad Tribulations Indestructible Body granted by the System was merely a starting point; its true potential lay in 'smelting' and 'breaking tribulations'!

Using his own body as a furnace, smelting all laws and all Dao, and refining an indestructible true spirit amidst endless tribulations!

This path subtly complemented and merged with the Primordial Creation Scripture's way of evolving worlds and governing all laws!

[Ding! Detected critical Legacy information!]

[Myriad Tribulations Indestructible Body ultimate evolution direction unlocked: Great Dao Furnace Body!]

[Prerequisites (speculated):]

1. Primordial Creation Scripture (Domain Realm Perfection)

2. Myriad Tribulations Indestructible Body (Minor Achievement or above)

3. Inducing Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning for Body Tempering

4. Devouring and refining at least one Origin Rule power (such as a fragment of the rule of strength)

5. Massive evolution points (estimated 10,000,000 points or more)]

[Hint: To fuse the Primordial Creation Scripture and the Myriad Tribulations Indestructible Body, and deduce the Prototype of the Great Dao Furnace Art, requires 5,000,000 evolution points!]

"Five million points..." Lin Jingyu's eyes narrowed slightly.

Killing the Bone-Corroding Demon Saint only yielded two million points; this consumption was terrifying!

But once successful, his Physical Body would transform into a Great Dao furnace that could smelt all laws, with infinite potential!

"Brother Qin."

Lin Jingyu put away the jade talisman. "Near the Imperial Capital, where are the most prevalent evil spirits and demonic creatures? Or... where can I find a place containing Chaos Qi, or one that can trigger powerful lightning?"

Qin Shanhe was startled, then understood that this killing god was going 'hunting' again, and quickly said: "Reporting, Lord! Twenty million li west of the Imperial Capital is the Demon Burial Abyss! That is an ancient battlefield site, with chaotic space, Evil Qi soaring to the sky, and powerful demonic creatures and evil cultivators often residing there. It is even rumored that Domain Realm Devil Heads sleep there! As for Chaos Qi and powerful lightning... a trace of Chaos Qi Flow occasionally leaks from the spatial rifts deep within the Demon Burial Abyss, but it is extremely dangerous! And to trigger powerful lightning... the top of Thunder Prison Peak in the Imperial Capital is a natural gathering place for thunderous Evil Qi, but that is an Imperial Family Forbidden Ground, heavily guarded."

"Demon Burial Abyss... Thunder Prison Peak..." Lin Jingyu noted these two names.

Just then!

Boom—!!!

A dull, extremely deep roar, as if from the depths of the earth, accompanied by a slight tremor, spread throughout the entire Imperial Capital!

A cold, filthy, and infinitely malicious evil spirits, like ink dripping into clear water, instantly permeated the sky above the Imperial Capital!

"Hmm?" Lin Jingyu's eyes sharpened, instantly locking onto the source of the Evil Qi — the East District of the Imperial Capital, in the direction of the commoner's market!

"No! It's the East Market!" Qin Shanhe's face changed drastically. "This Evil Qi... it's a 'Flesh and Blood Altar'! The Cultists are performing a blood sacrifice!"

Almost simultaneously, the sharp, piercing alarm bells rang throughout the Demon Suppression Division!

"Lord Lin! The Evil God Cult is rampant, daring to do this in the heart of the Imperial Capital..." Qin Shanhe was both shocked and enraged.

Before he finished speaking, his vision blurred!

Lin Jingyu's figure had vanished from the spot, leaving only a cold voice echoing in the room:

"I'll handle it. You arrange for the aftermath."

East Market, the once bustling market had now become a living hell!

A ten-zhang-high altar, built from countless twisted flesh and pale bone fragments, stood in the center of the market!

At the top of the altar, a giant dark red heart pulsed continuously, emitting a dense Evil Qi!

The surface of the heart was covered with bizarre eyes, and each pulsation spread ink-like Evil Qi ripples!

Wherever the Evil Qi passed:

Living people's flesh and blood melted, turning into withered bones with wails!

The withered bones then struggled to rise, transforming into red-eyed Bone Demon!

Houses and buildings were corroded, covered with wriggling fleshy tentacles!

The sky was enveloped by Evil Qi, turning a dark red!

Around the altar, hundreds of Cultists, clad in tattered black robes and with fanatical expressions, were chanting and dancing wildly, throwing captured commoners alive into the flesh and blood furnace below the altar!

Dark red filthy blood churned in the furnace, emitting a sickening stench!

"Hahaha! The blood sacrifice is complete! Welcome the gaze of our Lord, the Lord of the Thousand-Eyed creeping!" At the top of the altar, a withered old man, whose aura had reached the Peak of the Divine Treasury Realm and who held a pale bone staff refined from a spine, let out a maniacal laugh.

Buzz—!

With his wild laughter, the giant dark red heart suddenly split open!

A cold, chaotic, and infinitely greedy and malicious giant eye phantom slowly opened in the fissure!

Deep within the pupil of the eye, countless wriggling, intertwined small tentacles could be seen!

Domain-level Evil God Divine Might descended with a roar! Enveloping the entire East Market!

"It's over..." In the distance, the commander of the Imperial City Guard, who had been forced back by the Evil Qi, had a ashen face.

This power was absolutely beyond their ability to contend with!

"Hehehe... ants, become nourishment for our Lord..." The Bone Staff High Priest's wild laughter abruptly stopped!

A figure, like a purple-gold meteor tearing through the dark red sky, ignored the pervasive Evil Qi Divine Might and slammed into the ground in front of the Flesh and Blood Altar!

The ground cracked like a spiderweb!

Lin Jingyu!

He didn't even glance at the wildly dancing Cultists and rampaging Bone Demon; his cold gaze pierced through the churning Evil Qi, directly locking onto the cracked Evil God's Eye and the Bone Staff High Priest at the top of the altar.

"Domain? Evil God?"

Lin Jingyu's lips curved into a cold arc, filled with absolute disdain. "Perfect, time to try out the new Domain."

The moment his voice fell—

Buzz!!!

Centered on Lin Jingyu, the space within a thousand zhang instantly solidified! One hundred times gravity descended with a roar!

Primordial Violet Qi flowed, and five-colored divine light faintly appeared!

A Domain of Strength, absolutely dominant, forcefully unfolded! It aggressively squeezed and compressed the Evil God Domain emanating from the altar!

"What?!" The Bone Staff High Priest's wild laughter instantly turned into utter horror! "Domain?! Who are you?!"

His answer was Lin Jingyu's extremely simple punch!

He did not use his Dharma Aspect; it was merely his Physical Body's fist! On the fist's edge, Primordial Violet Qi condensed, and the Prototype of the Rule of Strength intertwined!

"Break."

He punched out!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only the manifestation of ultimate 'strength'!

The space in front shattered like fragile glass, squeezed and broken by the fist's edge!

The pervasive ink-like Evil Qi, as if encountering its nemesis, was instantly evaporated and annihilated by the fist wind!

Dozens of wildly dancing Cultists and hundreds of hideous Bone Demon in the path of the fist's edge didn't even have time to scream before they silently turned into the finest dust under the absolute crushing power!

The fist wind's momentum did not diminish, fiercely striking the ten-zhang-high Flesh and Blood Altar!

Hiss—!!!

Like a red-hot branding iron pressed onto snow!

The altar, built from countless flesh and bones and empowered by Evil God power, was fragile and vulnerable under the fist's edge containing the Prototype of the Rule of Strength!

It disintegrated and was annihilated inch by inch from the bottom up!

"No! My Lord, save me!" The Bone Staff High Priest let out a desperate roar, frantically waving his spinal bone staff, drawing a filthy blood light from the Evil God's Eye at the top of the altar!

However!

That filthy blood light crashed against the fist wind like an ant trying to shake a tree, instantly scattering!

Boom!!!

The entire Flesh and Blood Altar exploded with a roar! Along with the pulsating dark red heart at the top and the phantom of the Evil God's Eye that had just opened, they were all completely annihilated in the purple-gold fist light!

Puff!

The Bone Staff High Priest was heavily struck, spitting out large mouthfuls of black blood, and his spinal bone staff shattered inch by inch! He looked in terror at the god-like figure below him, then turned to tear space and flee!

"Trying to leave?"

Lin Jingyu snorted coldly, and the Domain power instantly contracted and restrained!

Crack!

The space around the Bone Staff High Priest solidified like cast steel, firmly binding him in place! He felt all his bones groaning under the terrifying pressure!

Lin Jingyu stepped forward, already in front of him. Without a word, he reached out and grabbed the Great Priest's withered head!

"Soul Search!"

Overbearing Divine Thought brutally rushed into the opponent's Sea of Consciousness! The sharp screams abruptly ceased! The light in the Great Priest's eyes quickly dimmed, and his body twitched as he slumped down.

[Ding! Slayed a Dharma Aspect Realm Peak Evil God Cult Great Priest, destroyed the Flesh and Blood Altar, and interrupted the Evil God Descent ritual! Gained evolution points: 500,000 points!]

Lin Jingyu casually tossed the Great Priest aside like a broken sack, his gaze sweeping over the chaotic East Market, where Evil Qi was rapidly dissipating, and the distant commoners and Imperial City Guard, who were still in a daze after surviving the catastrophe.

His figure flickered, and he vanished from the spot.

On a tall building in the distance, several Imperial Household Consecrated Guards and aristocratic family Old Ancestors, whose auras were obscure and who had been secretly observing, now had pale faces and cold sweat seeping from their foreheads.

"Domain... It's definitely Domain power! And... so domineering!"

"One punch... just one punch... destroyed the altar and crushed the bone staff..."

"Martial Venerable Who Guards the Nation... well deserved! No... he's terrifyingly famous!"

"Quick! Send a message back! This person... must not be provoked!"

Lin Jingyu returned to the Black Prison Institute's quiet room and noted down the critical information obtained from the soul search — the location of an ancient Evil God altar in the Demon Burial Abyss that might contain clues about 'chaos tribulation lightning'.

He looked at the System panel; his evolution points were once again abundant.

"Demon Burial Abyss... chaos tribulation lightning... Evil God Altar..." Lin Jingyu's eyes burned with fierce Battle Intent. "Next stop, it's you."
