158: Strength to lift mountains and rivers

Boundless Sea, edge of the Return to Ruins.

Lin Jingyu stood upon the waves. Behind him, the towering phantom of the Pangu Dharma Appearance slowly receded. Chaos Qi Flow merged into his muscular, dragon-like body. Beneath his skin, dark gold and Chaos luster flowed, emitting a heart-palpitating sense of primitive power.

The pressure of the Domain Realm second stage was like an invisible sacred mountain, pressing the sea surface within a thousand zhang radius until it was as smooth as a mirror.

He clenched his fist, his knuckles exploding with dull thunder. Feeling the terrifying power surging within his body, far exceeding what he had before, a fierce arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Pangu Dharma Appearance... Heaven-Opening power... truly potent!" His Battle Intent burned fiercely in his eyes. His gaze pierced through the dark green seawater and churning Devilish Qi like cold lightning, firmly locking onto a direction—there, it was exactly as marked on the System map, the location of the Evil God Cult headquarters!

"The nest of the Thousand-Eyed Worm... it is time to tear it down!"

With a thought, the Void Realm behind him twisted slightly, and Myriad Heavens Star Evasion was activated!

With a flash of Star Glow, he had already disappeared from the spot, leaving behind only a ring of exploded air waves and a sea surface that had suddenly sunken and then violently backfilled.

In the deepest part of the Boundless Sea, there was a forbidden region shrouded in filthy blood clouds all year round.

There were no islands here, only a "giant city" so unimaginably vast that it was constructed entirely from countless giant marine creature bones, pitch-black reefs, and writhing flesh vines—the Thousand-Eyed Holy City!

In the center of the Holy City stood a terrifying altar ten thousand zhang high.

The entire altar was composed of twisted, writhing dark red flesh, and its surface was embedded with billions of eyes of varying sizes, constantly blinking!

These eyes were filled with wills of Chaos, pain, greed, and madness, all collectively guarding the dark red main eye at the top of the altar, which was as huge as a small star!

The main eye opened and closed slightly, and thick, filthy blood light cascaded down like a physical waterfall, nourishing the entire Holy City.

The air was filled with a nauseating, fishy sweetness and the smell of sulfur; the rich power of the Evil God had almost turned into a liquid state.

At this moment, on the largest flesh and blood plaza on the outskirts of the Holy City, dense crowds of sea demons, Cultists, and powerful Devil generals of various forms were gathered.

In the center of the plaza, a High Priest wearing a robe with dark gold tentacle patterns and holding a twisted scepter was hovering in mid-air, chanting blasphemous prayers.

Below, tens of thousands of living beings were being cruelly sacrificed by the Cultists, their flesh and Soul turning into a blood-colored torrent, continuously pouring into the main eye of the altar.

"My Lord is about to awaken! The Holy City will reign supreme..." The High Priest's voice carried fanaticism. As he waved his scepter, filthy blood light enveloped the entire area, and the aura of all the demons was slowly rising.

Suddenly!

Hum—!!!

An indescribable, terrifying pressure descended abruptly from directly above the Holy City without warning!

It was as if a giant god who opened the heavens had stomped and shattered the firmament!

Crackle!

The thick, viscous blood clouds that had not dispersed for ten thousand years above the Holy City were instantly torn open by an invisible, purely extreme, and barbaric force, creating a huge hole!

Cold Star Glow mixed with the violent sea breeze, spilling onto this filthy land for the first time!

All the sacrificial chanting stopped abruptly.

Tens of thousands of demons looked up at the same time, countless eyeballs spinning wildly, filled with astonishment and bewilderment.

The fanaticism of the High Priest was tinged with suspicion as he looked up sharply at the hole in the sky.

He saw a figure two meters tall, with muscles as knotted as an ancient god or demon, tearing through space like a meteorite and crashing into the center of the flesh and blood plaza!

Boom—!!!

Centered on his landing point, the incredibly hard plaza ground, covered in thick flesh and bones, shattered like fragile glass!

Terrifying spiderweb-like cracks instantly spread for a thousand zhang!

The violent shockwave, carrying gravel, bone fragments, and bits of flesh, swept outwards like a tsunami!

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

The hundreds of low-level sea demons and Cultists closest to him didn't even have time to scream before they were ground into meat paste by this pure physical shockwave! Foul-smelling fluids splattered everywhere!

The dust and gravel slowly settled.

Lin Jingyu's figure became clear. He was bare-chested, his lean, muscular upper body exposed. His bronze skin flowed with a Chaos-colored dark gold luster under the Star Glow, his eyes as cold as ten-thousand-year ice, scanning this filthy devilish domain as if looking at a pile of pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

"Evil God Cult headquarters? A bunch of rotten fish and shrimp." His voice was not loud, but it struck the hearts of all the demons like a heavy hammer, carrying undisguised contempt and killing intent.

After a brief silence, there was monstrous anger and murderous intent!

"Blasphemer! How dare you break into the Holy City! Kill him! Sacrifice him to our Lord!" The High Priest was the first to react, letting out a shrill scream, and the twisted scepter in his hand pointed sharply at Lin Jingyu!

The evil eye gem at the top of the scepter shot out dozens of filthy blood-colored lightning bolts, tearing through space and striking down fiercely!

"Roar—!!!"

"Tear him to pieces!"

On the plaza, several mountain-sized deep-sea giant demons whose auras reached the second stage of the Domain Realm let out earth-shattering roars, waving huge tentacles covered in bone spurs and suckers, whipping up ten thousand tons of seawater and filthy Devilish Qi, and smashed fiercely towards Lin Jingyu from all directions!

Furthermore, several Devil generals at the first stage of the Domain Realm turned into black shadows, wielding bizarre demonic weapons, and attacked with insidious and tricky killing moves!

For a moment, filthy lightning, ten thousand tons of tentacles, and insidious demonic weapons... from the sky, the ground, and all directions, completely submerged Lin Jingyu!

The power of the attacks overlapped, even vaguely reaching the terrifying level of the fourth stage of the Domain Realm!

Facing this world-destroying siege, Lin Jingyu only had a trace of impatience on his face.

"Noisy!"

He didn't even lift an eyelid!

Hum—!!!

A thousand-zhang "Domain of Strength" instantly expanded! A hundred times gravity superimposed with spatial imprisonment!

Rumble!

The falling ten thousand tons of seawater tentacles, as if hitting an invisible barrier of divine iron, exploded into a sky full of foul-smelling water splashes!

The incoming insidious demonic weapons slowed down sharply under the terrifying gravity, as if stuck in thick mud!

The dozens of filthy blood lightning bolts, when approaching within ten zhang of Lin Jingyu, were silently swallowed and annihilated by the Chaos dark gold divine light flowing beneath his skin!

"What?!" The High Priest's pupils shrank, and the suspicion on his face instantly turned into horror! The Evil God power attack he had summoned with all his might was actually resisted by the opponent's Physical Body?!

"It's my turn!" Fierce light exploded in Lin Jingyu's eyes. "Pangu Dharma Appearance!"

Boom—!!!

The Void Realm behind him twisted and expanded violently! A phantom of a chaotic giant god, towering and muscular like an ancient dragon or snake, descended with a boom!

Pangu Dharma Appearance! Although it was only a prototype, that ancient will of opening the heavens and suppressing Chaos, like a physical tide, instantly swept across the entire flesh and blood plaza!

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Demons below the Domain Realm, in the face of this supreme power will, were like being crushed by an invisible giant mountain, instantly exploding and dying! They turned into pools of filthy blood and meat paste!

Even the giant demons and Devil generals of the Domain Realm felt their Soul shake violently, their Qi and blood stagnate, their movements becoming incomparably sluggish, their eyes filled with boundless fear!

"Heaven-Opening Fist Intent! Break... for me!"

Lin Jingyu let out a low roar, moving in sync with the Pangu Dharma Appearance behind him, and simply threw a punch at the huge, filthy, ten-thousand-zhang Flesh and Blood Altar in front of him!

This punch was thrown by his own body, yet it carried the supreme power of the Pangu Dharma Appearance!

On the fist, the Chaos dark gold divine light condensed as never before, and the Prototype of the Rule of Strength turned into tangible Heaven-Opening runes, coiling and flowing!

The punch was thrown!

Silent!

There was only an ancient will that divided the clear from the turbid and shattered Grandmist!

The fist light left his body and swelled against the wind! Instantly, it turned into a Chaos-colored phantom of a Heaven-Opening giant axe, tearing through space, ignoring distance, and striking fiercely upon the base of the ten-thousand-zhang Flesh and Blood Altar!

Sizzle—!!!

It was like a hot knife cutting into solidified grease!

The altar base, which was composed of countless flesh vines, bones, and eyeballs, was incredibly sturdy and constantly nourished by the power of the Evil God, but under the Chaos fist light containing the will of opening the heavens, it emitted a teeth-grinding tearing sound!

Thick, filthy black blood gushed out like a fountain! Billions of eyeballs embedded in the base instantly burst! The shrill and desperate mental screams resounded through heaven and earth!

Rumble—!!!

The entire Thousand-Eyed Holy City trembled violently under this punch!

The ten-thousand-zhang-high Flesh and Blood Altar let out an unbearable moan, and from the base that was struck by the fist light, it visibly tilted and collapsed!

Countless huge chunks of flesh, bones, and writhing eyeballs rolled down like a landslide, smashing into the Holy City buildings below, causing even greater Chaos and destruction!

"No—!!! My Lord's altar!!!" The High Priest let out a heart-wrenching, desperate howl, his eyes splitting! He could not understand how this altar, which had exhausted the power of the entire cult and had been worshipped for countless years, could have its Foundation shaken by the opponent's single punch!

At the top of the altar, that star-sized main eye suddenly opened!

The filthy blood light instantly intensified tenfold, carrying the god-like fury and will of destruction, and locked onto the tiny Lin Jingyu below!

"Blasphemer... die!!!"

A filthy blood lightning bolt, a hundred times larger than the one the High Priest had summoned before and wreathed with billions of painful, twisted faces, carried the ultimate aura of judging all things, tore through the Void Realm, and struck fiercely towards Lin Jingyu!

The power of this blow was already infinitely close to the fifth stage of the Domain Realm! It was the manifestation of the Evil God's angry will!

"Deathbed struggle!" Lin Jingyu grinned, Chaos divine light flashing in his eyes. Behind him, the Pangu Dharma Appearance phantom roared silently at the sky, and its fists clamped together fiercely!

"Rise... for me!"

Boom—!!!

An unimaginably vast and immense power erupted from Lin Jingyu as the center! It was not an attack, but pure... pulling!

In the eyes of countless horrified demons, and under the lock of the altar main eye's violent blood lightning, Lin Jingyu and the Pangu Dharma Appearance phantom behind him thrust their four giant arms fiercely into the huge crack in the altar torn by the Heaven-Opening Fist Intent! Muscles bulged! Chaos divine light soared into the sky!

"Haa—!!!"

With a roar like the first thunder of opening the heavens!

Crackle! Rumble!!! That terrifying ten-thousand-zhang-high Flesh and Blood Altar, which was tilting and collapsing, was actually... forcibly uprooted from its base!!!

Uprooting Mountains and Rivers! Truly Uprooting Mountains and Rivers!

Lin Jingyu stepped on the Void Realm, his muscles as if forged from divine gold, surrounded by Chaos Qi Flow, the Pangu Dharma Appearance phantom behind him towering, four arms holding up the sky, actually swinging that ten-thousand-zhang Flesh and Blood Altar, which was so huge it blotted out the sky, as if wielding a giant hammer!

He smashed it fiercely towards that filthy blood lightning bolt striking down, and... behind the blood lightning, towards that furious Evil God main eye at the top of the altar!

"Using your broken altar to smash your dog eyes!"
