163: Break through the true god

"Break for me—!"

Lin Jingyu's roar drowned out the whispers of billions of eyeballs. The Chaos Divine Light condensed in his fists, like two Heaven-Opening stars compressed to their limit, slammed into the sky-obscuring vortex of eyeballs!

There was no probing, no fancy footwork, only the purest, most violent Rule of Strength!

Wherever the fist glow passed, the corrupted dark-red Divine Light was forcibly plowed open and torn apart!

Space groaned under the unbearable pressure, leaving two long-lasting Chaos vacuum trails!

Hiss—!!!

The fist glow violently crashed into the core of the massive vortex formed by billions of eyeballs!

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

Buzz—!!!

The next instant, a terrifying shriek capable of shattering the Soul erupted from the depths of the eyeball vortex!

Billions of eyeballs blinked, twisted, and exploded madly!

Black blood poured down like a heavenly river, carrying a torrent of chaotic and frenzied will, fiercely washing over Lin Jingyu!

[Ding! Great Dao Furnace Art critical Breakthrough! Smelting efficiency increased to 150%! Divinity erosion is being converted!]

The cold System prompt exploded in the depths of his Soul. Lin Jingyu felt the phantom of the chaos furnace within him roar and operate at an unprecedented speed, its walls so hot they almost melted!

The terrifying impact of the Cthulhu's will was like billions of poisonous needles piercing into his Sea of Consciousness, but it was forcibly resisted by the Pangu Dharma Appearance phantom. The Heaven-Opening Fist Intent transformed into an invisible giant axe, madly hacking at the invading chaotic whispers!

"Roar—!" Lin Jingyu's eyes were crimson gold, Chaos Qi Flow spewed from his nose and mouth, his dark-golden bones vibrated violently, and his muscles bulged like ancient divine mountains!

He firmly resisted the terrifying will devouring and energy flushing, his fists showing no signs of retreat. The Prototype of the Rule of Strength glowed and condensed madly under extreme pressure!

"Container! Resist! Futile!"

The chaotic will in the center of the eyeball vortex became even more furious. A greedy thought locked onto the Prototype of the Rule of Strength within Lin Jingyu, "Rule of Strength... return to me... you... will eventually become my Incarnation!"

Rumble!

The vortex's rotation speed suddenly accelerated, and its center abruptly collapsed, forming a terrifying passage that seemed to connect to an endless abyss!

More viscous, more corrupted, dark-red energy containing true Divine Power Origin, like a river of blood from the Nine Netherworlds, poured down!

Its target was Lin Jingyu!

This power far surpassed the previous one!

With the Divine Might of a true "God," it sought to completely melt, devour, and assimilate his Physical Body, Soul, and Law!

"Want to devour me? I'll shatter your dog's mouth!"

Lin Jingyu felt unprecedented pressure. His Physical Body's bones creaked under the strain, and his Soul felt like it was being torn apart!

But the Battle Intent in his eyes burned to the extreme!

The frantic smelting of the Great Dao Furnace Art, on the contrary, forcibly stripped and refined a trace of extremely weak pure power Origin from the corrupted Divine Power that had invaded his body, feeding it back to himself!

"Now!"

"Pangu Dharma Appearance! Rule of Strength—Condense!!!"

He roared, and the towering Pangu Dharma Appearance phantom behind him suddenly solidified a bit!

The Heaven-Opening Fist Intent was clearer than ever before!

The nearly substantialized Prototype of the Rule of Strength within him trembled violently in this extreme furnace of internal and external attacks and Divine Might suppression!

Buzz!

A more pure, more overbearing, and terrifying power fluctuation, as if it could crush all Law restraints, suddenly erupted from Lin Jingyu's body!

The Chaos Heaven Opening Fist runes, frantically rotating and compressing on his fists, instantly brightened several times!

Those two fist glows suddenly expanded! As if transforming into the phantoms of two Heaven-Opening giant axes!

"Open for me—!!!"

His fists slammed forward!

Boom—!!!!

The Chaos Heaven Opening Fist glow and the pouring river of corrupted Divine Power blood violently collided!

This time, it was no longer dissolution, but the most violent explosion!

Heaven and earth shattered!

The Boundless Sea seemed to be fiercely pressed down by an invisible giant hand, forming a huge depression!

Then it was fiercely pushed high into the sky by the ten-thousand-foot tidal wave stirred up by the explosion!

Space shattered like glass, dense black cracks madly spreading from the point of impact!

"No!!!" A chaotic roar, mixed with shock, anger, and disbelief, came from the eyeball vortex!

Rip—!!!

The Chaos Heaven Opening Fist glow was like a red-hot giant axe splitting rotten wood!

The corrupted and viscous river of blood, containing true Divine Power Origin, was actually split open from the middle!

The violent Rule of Strength will was unstoppable, flowing upstream along the river of blood, fiercely slashing into the collapsed vortex core!

Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!

In the depths of the eyeball vortex, countless huge eyeballs emitting Divine Power radiance were crushed by the Heaven-Opening Fist Intent and the trace of condensed Rule of Strength contained in the fist glow! Corrupted Divine Power black blood rained down!

The entire massive eyeball vortex trembled, twisted, and contracted violently! As if it had suffered a heavy blow!

"Ant! How dare you harm my Origin will!"

The chaotic and frenzied voice was filled with rage, but even more so with an astonished indignation, "Rule of Strength... why can it harm me?!"

It couldn't understand!

How could an ant in the mortal Domain condense such a pure Rule of Strength that so restrained its chaotic divinity! This was beyond its comprehension!

"Harm you?"

Lin Jingyu was covered in blood, from wounds caused by the immense pressure on his body, but his Aura was like a rainbow, and the Chaos Divine Light grew even more blazing. He sneered, pointing at the now somewhat unstable eyeball vortex, "I told you, I'll blow you up too! Separated by the world barrier, what can you, old octopus, do to me? If you're so brave, come here in your true body!"

Arrogant! Extremely arrogant!

Facing the will of a True God, he remained defiant!

"Blasphemy! Blasphemy!"

The Cthulhu's will completely erupted in rage. The eyeball vortex spun madly, billions of eyeballs simultaneously shedding corrupted bloody tears, and a deeper, more malicious curse will began to condense, "Container... marked... I remember you... this world... will eventually sink... you... cannot escape!"

It realized that across the dimensional barrier, relying solely on its will projection and a portion of its Origin Divine Power, it couldn't defeat this strange "container" in a short time!

That Prototype of the Rule of Strength and Heaven-Opening Fist Intent had a natural restraint on its corrupted and chaotic divinity!

But the Cthulhu's wrath needed to be vented!

Boom!

The massive eyeball vortex suddenly contracted, condensing into an extremely viscous dark-red light beam, no longer devouring, but filled with an Aura of destruction and curse, like a world-ending spear, locking onto Lin Jingyu and shooting down with a roar!

This strike contained most of the power of its descending will!

It was determined to completely obliterate this blasphemer along with a thousand li radius around him!

"You think I'm afraid of you!" Lin Jingyu's pupils contracted, feeling a fatal threat, but he showed no fear.

His fists clenched again, the Prototype of the Rule of Strength, which had just condensed a trace under pressure, operated frantically, the Great Dao Furnace Art roared to its limit, and the Pangu Dharma Appearance phantom erupted with dazzling Chaos Divine Light!

"Heaven-Opening Fist Intent! Strength Breaks All Laws!!!"

He poured all his strength, merging his fists into one, and a fist glow, unprecedentedly condensed like a tangible Chaos Divine Spear, rose Heaven-Defyingly! It fiercely met the world-ending evil spear!

---

"Imperial Capital, Deep Palace Forbidden Ground."

A huge dragon seal hung in mid-air, its surface blood patterns already covering ninety-nine percent!

Only the last trace of faint golden light stubbornly resisted at its core.

The "Human Emperor," meditating in the center of the blood pool, suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes!

His crimson, blood-red eyes pierced through layers of palaces, as if crossing endless space, fiercely "staring" at the collision between god and mortal above the Boundless Sea!

His cracked lips moved silently, emitting inhuman hissing sounds:

"Container... Rule of Strength... so pure... so... delicious..."

"Soon... my feast... will begin soon..."

"Your strength... will eventually be used by me... to help me... ascend to True God!"

The blood pool beneath him boiled, and the last trace of golden light from the dragon seal trembled violently, on the verge of collapse, under the gaze of his crimson eyes!

---

Boom—!!!!!!!

The Chaos Divine Spear and the world-ending evil spear violently collided ten thousand meters above the Boundless Sea!

An indescribable explosion!

As if two stars had been destroyed!

The seawater of the Boundless Sea was evaporated, creating a huge, bottomless void!

A violent energy shockwave swept across the sky in a ring, tearing the thick, corrupted clouds to shreds!

Space fragments fell like heavy rain!

Puff!

Lin Jingyu was struck hard, spitting blood wildly, his body plummeting like a meteor towards the sea below!

The Chaos Divine Light dimmed, and the Pangu Dharma Appearance phantom fluctuated violently, almost disintegrating!

The Domain of Strength was compressed to its limit, barely able to protect his body!

[Ding! Great Dao Furnace Art has broken through the critical point! Entered the "Flawless" Realm! Smelting efficiency permanently increased! Rule of Strength comprehension deepened!]

[Warning! Physical Body severely damaged (37% bone cracks, internal organ Fluctuations)! chaos furnace overloaded!]

[Prototype of the Rule of Strength stability increased to 15%!]

The world-ending evil spear was not undamaged either; its front third shattered in the explosion, and the remaining spear body was covered in cracks, its dark-red Divine Power rapidly dimming!

"Roar—!" A cry of extreme pain and rage came from the eyeball vortex (now greatly shrunk), "Mark... already branded... container... when my true body descends... I will surely... crush you inch by inch... your Soul will forever fall into the Sea of Sinking Blood!"

It fiercely "stared" at the falling Lin Jingyu, its chaotic will filled with bone-deep hatred and greed.

Immediately, the shattered eyeball vortex suddenly collapsed inward, and along with the remaining world-ending evil spear, transformed into a dark-red stream of light, instantly disappearing into the rapidly healing spatial rift!

The corrupted dark-red sky quickly receded, the shattered space slowly mended, and the boiling Boundless Sea gradually calmed.

In the world, only the sound of giant waves stirred up by Lin Jingyu's fall remained, along with the terrifying Divine Might afterglow and strong bloody scent still lingering in the air.

"Cough... cough cough..." Lin Jingyu burst out from the exploding giant waves, covered in blood, with faint cracks visible on his dark-gold bones, but his back was still ramrod straight, and his eyes were sharp as knives.

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he looked at the completely vanished spatial rift in the sky and spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva:

"Bah! Old octopus, who can't boast from across worlds? If you're so brave, come here in your true body, and see if I don't blow your fish head off!"

His voice was loud, carrying a fierce momentum that refused to be beaten or crushed, echoing far across the empty, silent sea.

In the distance, on the wreckage of a few sea vessels that had fortunately escaped the impact, the survivors were already scared out of their wits, sprawled on the deck like mud.

They looked at the terrifying figure who had fallen from the center of the explosion, withstood a "god," and could still stand and curse, their eyes filled with boundless fear and reverence as if gazing upon a god or demon.

"He... he repelled... the Cthulhu?"

"Is that... a human?"

"A fierce god... no... a Demon God! A Physical Body Demon God!"

Lin Jingyu ignored the gazes of those ants.

He looked inward, at the information on the System panel after the Great Dao Furnace Art's Breakthrough, feeling the bones and flesh within his body, though damaged, becoming more condensed and tough in the intense pain, and the increased comprehension of the Rule of Strength. His eyes flashed with brilliant light.

"It was worth it!"

He licked his lips, his eyes filled with undisguised greed, "True God-Rank Divine Power Origin... though only a trace was refined... but this quality... is more potent than killing a hundred Demon God Generals!"

His gaze swept over the sea surface below, where countless corrupted eyeball fragments and viscous black blood floated.

"System, scan! See if this old octopus dropped any 'gold coins'!"

[Scanning... detecting highly polluted environment...]

[Found: Ancient High Priest's remaining corrupted Divine Power crystal (extremely polluted, contains Cthulhu's curse, recommended for smelting)]

[Found: Thousand-Eyed Cthulhu Will Remnant Fragment (high-concentration chaotic divinity, contains faint Divine Power Origin, extremely dangerous, can be smelted and absorbed)]

[Found: Sinking Divine Domain shattered core (damaged, contains Domain Law fragments, can be analyzed)]

"Smelt them! Smelt all of them for me!" Lin Jingyu didn't hesitate. Corrupted? Cursed? In front of the Great Dao Furnace Art, they were all just fuel!

[Command confirmed! Great Dao Furnace Art operating at full power! Beginning smelting...]

He stood on the sea, the chaos furnace phantom subtly reappearing behind him, beginning to swallow and absorb the residual "trophies" from the seawater like a whale.

The intense pain persisted, but his strength was slowly and steadily recovering and growing!

While smelting, he looked towards the Imperial Capital, his eyes cold as knives.

The moment the Cthulhu's will descended, he vaguely felt another extremely subtle, yet equally greedy gaze pierce through the Void Realm and lock onto him!

It was filled with decay, madness, and naked possessiveness!

"Imperial Capital... old zombie... you can't wait either, can you?"

Lin Jingyu grinned, revealing his stark white teeth, "Wash your neck and wait! Once I've digested these 'supplements,' I'll go tear open your coffin lid!"
