186: Mount Wan Jie

Lin Jingyu tore through space, rapidly fleeing towards the Myriad Tribulations Divine Mountain according to the star map coordinates given by Qing Li.

The Chaos Qi Flow enveloped his body, making his speed far exceed that of an ordinary Upper Heavenly God, allowing him to traverse the spatial turbulence as if walking on flat ground.

Along the way, he divided his attention, traveling while simultaneously digesting and absorbing his previous gains.

"System, consume origin points, fully deduce the 'Chaos Great Dao Scripture,' and accelerate the refinement of the Wood Law Origin and the remnant God King Core."

[Ding! Consuming 100,000,000 origin points! The 'Chaos Great Dao Scripture' has been deduced to the Initial Achievement stage! Refinement efficiency has significantly increased!]

[Wood Law Origin refinement complete! The Chaos Great Dao Scripture contains the characteristic of vitality! Physical Body recovery power increased!]

[remnant God King Core refinement complete! Rule of Strength comprehension +2%! Current: 99%!]

[The Chaos Supreme Divine Body absorbs the residual energy, steadily strengthening!]

Boom!

Lin Jingyu's internal strength surged once again, only one step away from the Perfection of the Rule of Strength!

The strength of his Physical Body was also advancing towards the level of a Middle God King Artifact!

He felt that if he faced trash like God King Qing Mu again, he wouldn't even need to use the highly energy-consuming "Chaos Strike"; a simple punch could shatter him!

"Almost! Just a little more!" Lin Jingyu's eyes shone brightly, making him even more expectant of his trip to the Myriad Tribulations Divine Mountain.

Several days later, the scene in the Void Realm ahead suddenly changed.

A contour of an immensely vast mountain range, seemingly separating heaven and earth, came into view.

The entire mountain range was a dark, gloomy black-gray, and the mountain body was covered in hideous cracks, looking as if it had been split open by supreme power.

Above the mountain range, terrifying Calamity Clouds, multicolored yet radiating an aura of destruction, shrouded the area year-round!

Fierce Winds were like knives, slicing through everything!

Divine Fire was like a sea, incinerating the Void Realm!

Weak Water surged to the heavens, eroding souls and dissolving bones!

Profound Ice chilled to the bone, freezing time and space!

Geng Metal rained down, indestructible!

Furthermore, Chaos Lightning traveled within, its destructive aura causing dread!

This was the Body Refining forbidden land that caused the God Realm to pale upon hearing its name—the Myriad Tribulations Divine Mountain!

It is said that only those with extremely powerful Physical Bodies dared to step into the periphery, and as for the core region, even God Kings did not dare to easily venture there!

"What a great place!" Lin Jingyu felt the various Tribulation Powers rushing toward him, and instead of being alarmed, he was delighted. His Chaos Supreme Divine Body craved this ultimate tempering!

Following the information given by Qing Li, he descended toward a relatively "safe" area on the outskirts of the Divine Mountain.

It was said that this was an entrance to the secret treasury of God King Tian Xing.

However, just as he passed through the layers of Calamity Clouds and landed in a black valley, an unexpected change occurred!

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Countless dazzling runes suddenly lit up around the valley!

A terrifying Divine Formation that had been set up long ago instantly activated!

Divine Chains containing the Laws of Punishment, Destruction, and Binding shot out from the Void Realm, covering Lin Jingyu like a net from heaven and earth!

At the same time, densely packed figures appeared on the surrounding mountain walls, their Killing Intent soaring to the sky!

Leading them were three powerful figures, Divine Generals wearing the standard Divine Armor of God King Tian Xing's subordinates!

One of them had even reached the Middle God King Realm! The other two were also at the Peak of Lower God King!

In addition, there were over a hundred elite guards at the Heavenly God Realm who formed a Battle Formation, sealing off the entire valley!

"Lin Jingyu! You finally arrived! This King has been waiting here for a long time!"

The leading Middle God King Divine General sneered, his voice rumbling like thunder, "By the decree of His Majesty the God King, we are here to take your dog life!"

Clearly, God King Tian Xing had anticipated that Qing Li might guide Lin Jingyu here, and had actually set up a heavy military ambush in advance! He even dispatched a Middle God King!

This lineup was more than enough to surround and kill an ordinary Lower God King!

Lin Jingyu's figure was temporarily trapped by the sudden Divine Formation and Law Divine Chains. He looked around, and instead of fear, a mocking smile appeared on his face.

"Old Dog Tian Xing is certainly willing to spend money. But do you chickens and dogs think you can ambush me?"

"Arrogant!" The Middle God King Divine General roared, "Form the Heavenly Punishment God Slaying Formation! Suppress and kill him!"

Boom!

All the Heavenly God guards simultaneously erupted with Divine Power, injecting it into the great Formation!

The three God Kings also acted simultaneously, fusing their King-level Laws into the great Formation!

Instantly, the entire valley transformed into an absolute Domain of Death!

Countless Punishment Lightning, Destruction Light, and Binding Divine Chains blasted toward Lin Jingyu from all directions, their power enough to instantly severely wound or even kill a Middle God King!

Facing this deadly trap, Lin Jingyu stretched his neck, and the power of the Rule of Strength and the Chaos Supreme Divine Body within him erupted!

"Perfect, I'll use you to test the power of the Rule of Strength!"

"Break for me!"

He didn't use any techniques at all, simply and directly pushing his arms outward!

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The Law Divine Chains, powerful enough to trap and kill a Middle God King, snapped inch by inch like fragile hemp ropes under his ultimate burst of pure strength!

RUMBLE!

The entire Heavenly Punishment God Slaying Formation violently shook. The hundred-plus Heavenly God guards maintaining the Formation simultaneously screamed, spat blood, and flew backward. Those with slightly weaker cultivation exploded immediately!

The Formation was instantly shattered!

"What?!" The three God Kings' expressions changed drastically, their eyes filled with horror! They hadn't expected the opponent's power to be so terrifying that he could forcefully break the Formation with sheer brute strength!

"Die!"

Lin Jingyu burst out of the Formation, like a fierce tiger escaping its cage, and lunged directly at the leading Middle God King Divine General!

"Stop him!" The Middle God King was shocked and furious. A giant battle saber appeared in his hand. He slashed it out, and the saber light tore through the sky!

The other two Lower God Kings also attacked simultaneously from the flanks!

"Scram!"

Lin Jingyu didn't even look, attacking with both hands!

His left fist smashed toward the shocking saber light! His right fist blasted toward the two Lower God Kings on the flank!

Bang! Boom!

The huge saber light was shattered by his punch!

The terrifying punch force slammed into the Middle God King's chest through the air, causing his Divine Armor to crack and sending him flying backward while spitting blood!

The two Lower God Kings on the right side suffered even worse. Their attacks didn't even count as tickles on Lin Jingyu. Instead, they were swept by the force of his punch. Before they could scream, their bodies exploded in midair, turning into two clouds of blood mist!

[Ding! Killed Lower God King x2! Gained 300,000,000 origin points!]

[Ding! Severely wounded Middle God King! Gained 150,000,000 origin points!]

Two God Kings instantly killed, one God King severely wounded!

The remaining Heavenly God guards were utterly terrified, and their Formation fell into chaos.

Lin Jingyu was like a wolf entering a flock of sheep. His figure flickered, using both fists and palms. Every time he struck, a Heavenly God was bound to fall!

[origin points +10,000,000!]

[origin points +8,000,000!] ...The valley instantly turned into a bloody slaughterhouse!

The Middle God King watched, his eyes splitting with rage and filled with extreme terror, and immediately turned to tear space and flee.

"Can you escape?"

Lin Jingyu threw a punch through the air, and the Chaos Qi Flow surged!

"Chaos Strike! (Weakened Version)"

A subtle thread of Chaos Qi Flow, arriving later but reaching first, instantly caught up to the Middle God King.

"No!!!" The Middle God King let out a desperate roar, trying desperately to resist, but in front of the Chaos Qi Flow, all defenses were futile!

Pfft!

His body instantly froze, and then, like a sand sculpture scattered by the wind, he silently vanished into annihilation, leaving behind only a God King Core and a few items.

[Ding! Killed Middle God King! Gained 250,000,000 origin points! Gained Punishment Law Origin (Large Quantity)!]

In just a brief moment, the elites under God King Tian Xing who were ambushing here were completely annihilated!

Lin Jingyu collected all the spoils of war, felt the slight increase in the abundance of origin points within his body, and coldly swept his gaze across the valley.

"Old Dog Tian Xing, I accept this great gift. Next time we meet, I will repay it a hundredfold!"

His gaze turned toward the depths of the valley, where a hidden spatial entrance was emitting faint fluctuations.

"The treasury entrance... I hope you don't disappoint me."

He took a step and rushed toward the entrance.

However, just as he was about to enter, his heart suddenly leaped, and an extremely subtle yet fatal sense of crisis abruptly descended!

[Warning! Detected an extremely hidden self-destruct Restriction at the entrance! Trigger condition: Entry by non-Heavenly Punishment Bloodline or without a specific token! Power assessment: Sufficient to severely wound an Upper God King!] The System alarm sounded rapidly!

Lin Jingyu's pupils contracted, and he forcefully stopped in his tracks!

"What a treacherous Old Dog! He actually left this move behind!"

This wasn't a treasury at all, but a death trap specifically targeting him!
