29: Transformed into a human weapon

“ROAR—!!!”

The roar of the Blood-Winged Demon General was like rolling thunder crushing the battlefield, carrying monstrous rage and bloodthirsty madness!

Its lava-like vertical pupils locked onto the small human figure on the city wall, who was emitting a dazzling light. It was this ant who destroyed its swarm of flying ants with one finger and crushed its Earth-Shaking Rhinoceros vanguard with one stomp!

Shame! This was a profound humiliation for a Tendon Changing Realm Peak Demon General!

It must be torn to shreds in the most brutal way, its flesh devoured raw, and its blood drunk deeply!

Boom!

The pair of broken yet ferocious bone wings on its back suddenly flapped! The air was torn apart, letting out a sharp, explosive sound!

Its massive body transformed into a scarlet blood shadow that ripped through the night sky, moving so fast that only a blurry afterimage remained in the eyes of the ordinary soldiers!

The dense, bloody Demonic Qi, like a physical shockwave, slammed toward the city wall first!

“Be careful!”

“The Demon General is charging up!”

On the city wall, the soldiers whose morale had just been ignited by Lin Jingyu instantly turned pale.

That terrifying pressure felt like ten thousand tons of heavy stone pressing on their hearts, making it difficult for them to breathe and leaving their limbs cold.

The veins bulged on Zhao Tianhao's hand gripping his saber, yet he felt it was incredibly difficult even to lift it; he could only roar a reminder hoarsely.

Lin Jingyu, however, remained completely still.

He stood at the highest point of the parapet, like an iron tower nailed to a reef, facing the bloody demonic wind rushing toward him. The dark golden luster on his body grew even brighter!

There was no fear in his eyes, only boiling Battle Intent and cold calculation.

“Tendon Changing Realm Peak... slightly stronger than a Rakshasa.” He murmured, his voice low but clearly audible to the soldiers nearby, carrying an almost cruel calmness. “You're perfect for testing the limits of the Vajra Shield!”

Before his voice fell, the Blood-Winged Demon General's attack arrived!

It didn't need to land at all!

Its massive body swooped down from the air. Two giant claws, covered in greenish-black scales and resembling siege cones, screamed as they tore through the air, carrying a dense, palpable aura of blood fiendishness, grabbing fiercely at Lin Jingyu's head and chest from left and right!

The claw tips flickered with faint light, carrying terrifying penetrating and corrosive power. The Protective Aura of an ordinary Bone Forging Realm Martial Artist was like paper mache before them!

The speed was too fast! The might was too fierce! There was no avoiding it!

“Lord Lin!” Zhao Tianhao's eyes were about to split, his heart nearly leaping out of his throat!

Lin Jingyu, however, made a move that left everyone utterly terrified—he neither dodged nor retreated, nor did he even block!

He suddenly spread his arms wide, puffed out his chest, and the dark golden Vitality throughout his body erupted like burning lava!

“Vajra Shield! Activate!”

Buzz—!!!

Dazzling dark golden light instantly exploded from his body surface! It was no longer circulating beneath his skin, but condensing into a dense shield of light, about an inch thick, like a physical golden bell!

Runes flowed across the surface of the light shield, radiating a powerful aura of indestructibility and immunity to all evil!

Clang—!!! Clang—!!!

Two deafening metallic clashes, like a massive bell being struck by a heavy hammer, exploded violently on the city wall!

A violent shockwave spread out in a ring, instantly sweeping away the rubble and dust from the nearby parapets!

Several nearby soldiers were shaken so hard that their ears and noses bled, and they stumbled backward!

The Blood-Winged Demon General's giant claws, capable of ripping through refined steel, slammed fiercely onto the dark golden Vajra Shield!

Sparks splashed wildly like a waterfall!

The grating friction sound was teeth-chattering! The terrifying blood fiendish demonic power contained in the demon claws wildly impacted and corroded the light shield!

[Ding! Vajra Shield is enduring a limit attack! Defense strength is being judged...]

[Judgment passed! Vajra Shield (Minor Achievement) Defense Power: 999/1000!]

[Warning! Encountering high-concentration Blood Fiendish Corrosion! Vajra Shield Durability -1! -1! -1!...]

The cold System prompts rapidly flashed through Lin Jingyu's mind, clearly displaying the terrifying pressure the shield was enduring.

That Aura of Blood Fiendishness was like maggots clinging to bone, frantically corroding the Vajra Shield's energy.

The light shield trembled violently, the dark golden light flickering erratically, and an extremely faint, spiderweb-like crack even appeared on its surface!

The hard city bricks beneath Lin Jingyu's feet cracked with a “kacha” sound, and his feet sank deep into them!

“He blocked it?! He... he used his Physical Body to withstand the Demon General's claws?!” Zhao Tianhao's eyes nearly popped out, his voice distorted by extreme shock.

The surrounding soldiers were petrified, their minds blank.

That was a blow struck in fury by a Tendon Changing Realm Peak Demon General! He actually... took it head-on with his Physical Body?!

“Hehehe! You have some skill! Let's see how many hits you can take!” A hint of surprise flashed in the Blood-Winged Demon General's eyes, immediately replaced by deeper savagery.

Its two claws held the shield tightly. Its massive head suddenly tilted back, and its huge mouth, filled with fangs, opened!

Whoosh—!

A stream of dark red blood flame, thick as ink, emitting a pungent stench and terrifying high temperature, surged out of its mouth like a burst blood river!

Wherever the blood flame passed, the air was scorched and twisted, giving off sizzling sounds!

Rumble—!!!

The thick torrent of blood flame fiercely impacted the violently trembling Vajra Shield!

Sizzle sizzle sizzle—!!!

The grating sound of corrosion instantly drowned out everything else!

The dark golden light shield was like something thrown into boiling oil; its surface violently boiled and churned!

The dense dark red blood fiendishness and the dark golden Buddhist radiance frantically intertwined and annihilated each other!

Large swaths of golden light were rapidly corroded and dissolved by the blood flame!

[Warning! Encountering High-Energy Blood Fiendish Demonic Fire Attack! Vajra Shield Durability -10! -10! -10!...]

[Durability: 879/1000! Continuing to drop!]

[External extreme pressure detected! Opportunity for Vajra Shield evolution has appeared! Deriving evolution direction...]

[Derivation successful! Can evolve into: Indestructible Vajra Divine Art (Initiation)! Cost of evolution points: 20,000 points! Evolve?]

The System prompts sounded like a rapid-fire cannon!

The durability number of the Vajra Shield plummeted like an avalanche!

But that last piece of information caused terrifying brilliance to erupt in Lin Jingyu's eyes!

“Evolve!” Lin Jingyu roared in his heart, without hesitation!

[Consuming 20,000 evolution points! Starting evolution of Vajra Shield → Indestructible Vajra Divine Art (Initiation)! Deriving... Derivation complete! Instant Mastery!]

Buzz—!!!

An indescribable, magnificent power, far vaster and deeper than the Vajra Shield, seemingly originating from the primordial wilderness, instantly surged from the deepest part of Lin Jingyu's body! This power carried the supreme Concept of immortality, indestructibility, and enduring all calamities!

The layer of dark golden light shield on his body, which was tottering and covered in cracks under the blood flame corrosion, suddenly collapsed inward and condensed, as if undergoing Nirvana Rebirth!

All the light and all the runes instantly merged into his skin, flesh, and bones, like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea!

The next moment—

Boom!!!

An indescribably brilliant golden light, like a volcano suppressed for hundreds of millions of years, erupted violently from Lin Jingyu's muscular body!

It was no longer a light shield on the surface; his entire being, from the inside out, had transformed into pure, condensed, seemingly eternally Indestructible Golden Glaze!

His skin, muscles, and bones all flowed with a sacred, immortal golden luster!

A terrifying aura that suppressed all evil and was immune to all methods, descended violently, like an awakened deity!

The city bricks beneath his feet could no longer bear the force, violently shattering into a deep pit about ten feet square! The rubble and dust were pushed away by an invisible wave of Qi!

The thick, terrifying Dark Red Blood Flame, which had been frantically corroding him, instantly evaporated and dispersed in large patches with a sharp “chichi” sound the moment it touched this body of pure Golden Glaze, like snow meeting the blazing sun! It could no longer invade even an inch!

“What?!!” The Blood-Winged Demon General's lava-like vertical pupils instantly shrank to pinpricks! For the first time, its ferocious face showed unbelievable shock! It felt it!

That supreme defensive power that made its Soul tremble!

This was fundamentally not something a Bone Forging Realm being should possess!

This human... evolved... right under its nose?!

Lin Jingyu slowly raised his head, his eyes burning with golden flames, locking coldly onto the Demon General's head, which was now within reach. The corner of his mouth curled into a chilling arc, full of violent aesthetics.

“Was that just a tickle? Is it over?”

He violently shook his arms!

The residual blood flame wrapped around the giant claws was instantly shaken off!

Those two demon claws, capable of ripping through refined steel, were actually forcefully shaken off his body purely by the power of his Physical Body!

“Now, it's my turn!”

Lin Jingyu stomped his right foot fiercely! Boom! The deep pit exploded again!

His figure turned into a golden lightning bolt that tore through space. Instead of retreating, he advanced, instantly closing in on the Blood-Winged Demon General's massive head, which was slightly tilted back in shock!

A pair of arms, shining with immortal golden light and muscles coiled like Dragons, acted like two sky-supporting giant pincers, carrying terrifying power capable of ripping apart everything, and fiercely grabbed the base of the demon general's bone wings—which were broken but symbolized strength and speed!

“Get—down here!”

“ROAR! NO—!!!” The Blood-Winged Demon General let out a roar of extreme terror, its lava-like vertical pupils reflecting the golden demonic claws reaching for it! It tried to flap its wings and fly back, but its previous full-strength attack and its current internal shock made its movement half a beat too slow!

Crack—!!!

A terrifying sound of cracked scalps and shattered tendons and bones, accompanied by the heart-rending wails of the Blood-Winged Demon General, echoed across the entire battlefield!

Lin Jingyu's hands, shining with immortal golden light, plunged into the incredibly tough greenish-black scales and thick bones at the root of the bone wings, like red-hot iron tongs sinking into butter! The dark golden power of immortality erupted wildly!

Rip—!!!

Blood surged out like a fountain! Mixed with pale, shattered bone and tough fascia!

Amidst the earth-shattering wails of the Blood-Winged Demon General, and under the stunned, fervent gaze of countless soldiers on the city wall who felt they were witnessing a miracle, Lin Jingyu's arm muscles bulged like an ancient Dragon Python. He erupted with terrifying, mountain-shaking power, and actually ripped the Demon General's pair of massive bone wings, which symbolized its strength and pride, straight off—from the root!!!
