32: The power of dragon and elephant tore apart the demon general.

"Die!"

Lin Jingyu's roar was like the furious bellow of a god or devil!

His fists, covered in Divine Gold Armor and flowing with Indestructible golden light, were like two burning stars descending from the heavens, fiercely smashing towards the eye sockets of the Iron-Armored Corpse Bear, Mountain Guardian, which burned with faint green Soul Fire!

Mountain Guardian had just recovered from the intense pain and shock of its bone hammer being forcibly cracked when the iron fists, imbued with destructive power, rapidly expanded in its Soul Fire. The chill of death instantly froze all its thoughts!

"Roar—!!!" It let out a desperate shriek, frantically tilting its massive head back, trying to evade! Simultaneously, its forelimbs, covered in thick carapace, instinctively lifted, attempting to shield the vital point of its head!

But it was too late!

Lin Jingyu's speed, augmented by the Minor Achievement of the Indestructible Vajra Divine Art, reached its peak! His fists tore through the air, creating a piercing sonic boom!

Bang! Bang!!!

Two incredibly muffled explosions, like heavy hammers smashing rotten wood, erupted almost simultaneously!

Lin Jingyu's fists struck precisely and solidly against the edge of Mountain Guardian's huge eye sockets!

The thick carapace covering the eye sockets, under the fist force imbued with the savage power of Dragon-Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength and the immortal sharpness of the Indestructible Vajra Divine Art, instantly became covered in spiderweb cracks, like cheap ceramic suffering a heavy blow!

Crackle—!!!

A teeth-grinding sound of shattering rang out!

The carapace around Mountain Guardian's eye sockets instantly shattered! Dark green foul blood mixed with fragmented bone shards sprayed out like a fountain!

"Awooo—!!!" Mountain Guardian let out a heart-wrenching wail loud enough to shatter eardrums! Its massive body, as if struck by a giant mountain, stumbled backward uncontrollably!

Every step cracked the earth, raising dust clouds! The two faint green Soul Fires in its eye sockets flickered wildly and dimmed, appearing as if they might extinguish at any moment!

The intense pain caused its massive body to twitch violently!

Lin Jingyu pressed his advantage relentlessly!

Activating Phantom Step, his figure clung to Mountain Guardian's stumbling retreat like a maggot attached to bone!

The golden light in his eyes was blazing like lava, his arm muscles bulging to their limit. The power beneath the Divine Gold Armor was like a suppressed volcano, waiting to erupt!

"Dragon Elephant Suppressing Prison! Open up for me!"

Boom!!!

The Qi and blood throughout his body instantly boiled... The Qi and blood power of the Dragon Tendon Tiger Bone Art perfectly merged with the Indestructible golden light of the Indestructible Vajra Divine Art, condensing into an even clearer phantom image of intertwined Dragons and Elephants behind him!

A terrifying power, as if capable of suppressing Hell and overturning mountains, poured entirely into his arms!

He suddenly thrust out his hands, gripping fiercely like two massive, red-hot iron tongs onto the wrist joints of Mountain Guardian's two huge bone hammers—the parts he had previously cracked and were covered in fissures! That spot was where the carapace was thinnest and the connection weakest!

"Roar?! No—!!!" An unprecedented terror erupted from Mountain Guardian's Soul Fire! It felt it! That terrifying power intent on tearing it completely apart!

"Break!"

A cold syllable burst from Lin Jingyu's throat!

The muscles in his arms twisted like primordial Dragons and Pythons, and the Divine Gold Armor glowed intensely!

His waist suddenly sank, his feet rooted into the earth as if they had grown roots, and his entire body's power twisted into a single force, violently erupting outwards to both sides!

Rip—!!! Crackle, crackle, crackle—!!!

Horrifying sounds of scalp splitting and tendons and bones being forcibly torn apart, accompanied by Mountain Guardian's shrill, distorted wail, echoed throughout the wilderness!

Under the gaze of countless stupefied, terrified, and utterly awestruck eyes on the city wall, and within Zhao Tianhao's eye sockets that felt ready to burst—

Lin Jingyu's terrifying arms, covered in Divine Gold Armor, forcibly ripped off the two enormous, incredibly hard bone hammer forelimbs of the Iron-Armored Corpse Bear, Mountain Guardian, from the cracked wrist joints—just like tearing apart rotten wood!!!

Dark green demon foul blood gushed out from the severed joints like a breaching waterfall! Massive, pale bone fragments were exposed to the air, a shocking sight!

Crash!

Mountain Guardian's massive, armless body, as if all support had been withdrawn, crashed backward amidst the gushing blood fountain and indescribable pain and despair!

It hit the ground, sending dust flying skyward! Its remaining Soul Fire flickered wildly, filled with endless pain and unbelievable terror!

The terrifying power it prided itself on, enough to split mountains and rocks, was so utterly vulnerable before this human's purely maximized Physical Body brute strength!

Lin Jingyu stood amidst the dust and foul blood like a God of War, gripping a massive bone hammer severed limb in each hand, each taller than he was.

The Divine Gold Armor flowed with a cold, sacred luster under the setting sun. The demon foul blood staining it was rapidly being evaporated and purified by the Indestructible golden light.

He didn't even glance at the dying Demon General at his feet, his gaze sweeping over the pair of severed bone hammer limbs in his hands—heavy beyond measure, covered in cracks, yet still exuding a ferocious aura.

"Trash." The cold voice dropped.

He exerted force in his arms, flinging the pair of massive severed bone hammer limbs deep into the wilderness like two pieces of unsightly garbage, creating two deep craters!

[Ding! Severely wounded the Tendon Changing Realm Fifth Rank Iron-Armored Corpse Bear, Mountain Guardian! evolution points +20,000!]

[Ding! Killed the Tendon Changing Realm Fifth Rank Iron-Armored Corpse Bear, Mountain Guardian! evolution points +35,000! Obtained 'Mountain Guardian Heavy Armor (Rare)' ×1! 'Corpse Bear Soul Fire (Essence)' ×1!]

The cold prompt announced Mountain Guardian's complete death.

A warm current, far larger and purer than Scarlet Nightmare's, rushed violently into Lin Jingyu's limbs and body like a surging torrent of magma!

This power violently washed over and hammered every inch of his bones!

Deeper within his bones, more concentrated and higher-pitched "Clang! Clang!" explosions sounded, as if refined steel was being repeatedly forged!

His bone marrow was scorching hot and boiling, and new strength accumulated and roared like a volcano!

[Ding! Detected that the host's evolution points meet the Breakthrough requirement! Current Realm: Bone Forging Realm Fifth Rank (0/70,000), evolution points: 82,511! Do you wish to Break through to Bone Forging Realm Sixth Rank?]

"Breakthrough!" Lin Jingyu roared internally, stomping heavily with his foot!

Boom—!!!

An aura far grander and more savage than when he broke through to Bone Forging Fifth Rank erupted violently from his sturdy physique, like a sleeping primordial giant beast fully awakening!

The invisible Qi wave exploded outward from him like a physical shockwave!

Instantly clearing the surrounding dust and foul blood!

The ground beneath his feet was forcibly pressed into a larger, shallow crater by this power!

The bones throughout his body emitted a deafening "clang, clang" sound of metal striking metal!

The dark golden luster beneath his skin instantly became like solid metal, deeper and heavier!

A terrifying sense of power, incomparably sharp and seemingly capable of piercing everything, spread out!

[Ding! Realm Breakthrough! Current Realm: Bone Forging Realm Sixth Rank! (0/90,000)]

[Physical Body strength greatly increased! Bone hardness and maximum power capacity increased by 80%! Total Qi and blood volume increased by 50%! Initially possesses the embryo of 'Qi and Blood Wolf Smoke'!]

Lin Jingyu slowly raised his head and took a deep breath... With his breathing, a faint red Qi and blood power, like substantial mist, faintly sprayed from his mouth and nose, carrying a scorching aura. It hovered slightly three feet above his head, condensed and refusing to dissipate!

This was precisely the sign that Qi and blood had reached a certain level of robustness and was about to condense into Protective Aura, manifesting the Qi and Blood Wolf Smoke!

Bone Forging Realm Sixth Rank! Only three Ranks away from the Tendon Changing Realm! His power had surged once more!

"Roar—!!!"

Just then, from the deepest core of the surging, inky shadow in the wilderness, a terrifying roar erupted—one far more ancient, deeper, and more savage than Mountain Guardian's or Scarlet Nightmare's!

This roar seemed to come from the Nine Nether Hell, carrying supreme majesty and monstrous rage!

Merely a single roar, and the invisible sound wave swept across the wilderness like a physical shockwave!

The low-Rank Demons still fleeing were harvested by an invisible scythe, exploding en masse!

Even the distant Border Wasteland City walls groaned under the unbearable pressure, and rubble tumbled down!

A terrifying Demonic Might, so heavy it felt like the sky was collapsing and imbued with the sedimentation of endless years, descended violently, like an awakened Primordial Vicious Beast!

It firmly locked onto the figure in the center of the battlefield, who had just achieved a Breakthrough and whose Qi and blood were like a rainbow!

[Warning! Warning! Detected ultra-high energy Demon reaction! Target: Unknown (Suspected core entity of Rotting Bone Forest)! Threat Rank: Fatal! Recommend immediate evasion!] The System prompt carried unprecedented urgency and strong warning!

Lin Jingyu abruptly turned his head, his golden pupils instantly contracted, staring intently into the depths of the swirling darkness!

He felt a terrifying pressure far exceeding the Tendon Changing Realm! His skin prickled as if he had been targeted by a prehistoric giant beast!

"Finally... a big guy has arrived?" Far from being afraid, the corner of his mouth curled into a nearly savage arc, filled with Battle Intent.

The blood in his body boiled like magma, the power from his recent Breakthrough was restless, and the golden light of the Indestructible Vajra Divine Art became even more dazzling!

The Yin Corpse Sect token in his embrace trembled violently and became scorching hot, stimulated by this terrifying Demonic Might!

A nearly greedy sense of desire, for the first time, transmitted so clearly into Lin Jingyu's consciousness!

The target pointed directly toward the depths of the darkness!

On the city wall, Zhao Tianhao and the others turned ashen under this Demonic Might, their legs weak, barely able to stand steadily.

He abruptly grabbed a Personal Guard beside him, his voice hoarse and distorted by extreme fear: "Quick... quickly go report to the City Lord! 'That One' from the Rotting Bone Forest... has been alerted! The situation is changing drastically! Hurry!!"
