206: Golden light pierced the sky, a resonance of the divine sequence!

At the bottom of the meteorite crater, the scalding lava hissed as it was soaked in golden blood.

Lu Sheng lay on the charred rock, his chest wide open, his beating heart clearly visible.

If it were anyone else, they would have died a long time ago. However, the Five Viscera Golden Body within him was emitting a faint but resilient glow, stubbornly protecting his last shred of life.

"Strengthen...!"

With a roar from the depths of Lu Sheng's consciousness, fifty top-tier spirit source crystal cores within his storage space instantly shattered.

Boom—!

A vast, nebula-like purple energy did not move to repair his shattered limbs. Instead, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, it surged frantically into Lu Sheng's abdominal cavity.

[Ding! six viscera strengthening initiated! Physical Body restoration proceeding simultaneously!]

The first surge of energy crashed into the "Gallbladder."

The gallbladder governs decisiveness.

Lu Sheng felt an unprecedented sense of clarity rush to his head. His will, which had been wavering due to his heavy injuries, was forcibly solidified at this moment.

Next was the "Stomach."

This was the primary furnace of the human body.

The originally shriveled stomach, under the infusion of purple energy, instantly became crystal clear, as if it had transformed into a black hole capable of swallowing all things.

Crack! Crack!

It was the sound of broken bones regenerating.

Under the scouring of the purple energy, the terrifying sword scar on Lu Sheng's chest healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The newly grown bones were no longer a simple jade color, but instead shimmered with a profound purple-gold radiance.

[Gallbladder strengthening complete! Stomach strengthening complete! San Jiao strengthening complete! Small Intestine strengthening complete! Large Intestine strengthening complete!]

Lu Sheng felt his body transform into a precision energy-conversion machine.

With every heartbeat, he could forcibly seize spirit source particles drifting in the air, his conversion efficiency increasing by a full threefold!

[Physical Body Restoration: 100%!]

[Strength +5,000 catties!]

[Base Strength: 31,887 catties (approximately 16 tons)!]

[Normal State Speed: 280 meters/second!]

Lu Sheng snapped his eyes open. Within his dark-gold pupils, two golden flames burned fiercely.

"A blessing in disguise... this six viscera strengthening has actually increased my normal state combat power by thirty percent!"

He pressed one hand against the ground and pushed off violently.

Boom!

The bottom of the crater within a hundred-meter radius collapsed instantly. Lu Sheng shot up like a golden cannonball, tearing through the cloud of dust and soaring straight into the sky.

Meanwhile, the battlefield outside had reached a desperate state.

"Old man, I'll send you on your way!"

At the edge of the battlefield, a shark-headed guard grinned maliciously, the bone blade in his hand drawing a pale arc as it aimed straight for the Old General's back.

The Sea God Old General knelt on one knee, leaning on the xuanyuan sword. He was too exhausted.

His spirit source was depleted, his vision was blurred, and he could even smell the stench of rot on that bone blade.

"I've lived long enough... I've gotten my money's worth in this life." The Old General closed his eyes, preparing to detonate the last of the spirit source in his body to take these scum down with him.

At that critical moment.

"Old General, save your strength. It's not time to throw your life away yet."

A cold, familiar voice carrying a sense of absolute control rang in the Old General's ear.

The Old General snapped his eyes open.

He saw a golden afterimage appear behind him out of thin air.

Lu Sheng had his hands in his pockets; he hadn't even moved his dragon devouring spear.

He simply extended his two arms, which were covered in dense dragon scales, and with both hands, he precisely clamped down on the skulls of the two attackers.

"Lu... Lu Sheng?!" The Old General's pupils constricted.

"It's the Boss's voice!" Zhou Hai and the others roared from a distance.

Lu Sheng was expressionless. Looking at the two Level 8 Drowned Ones struggling frantically in his hands, a cruel smile curled on his lips as his fingertips crushed their skulls with force.

"Dragon Claw - Blood Devour!"

Buzz—!

The blood and Qi of the two Level 8 Experts surged into Lu Sheng's body like a burst dam.

In just one second, Lu Sheng tossed the two desiccated corpses aside.

He stood in the pool of blood and looked around. His voice wasn't loud, yet it echoed throughout the entire Gongga Mountain.

"From now on, I'm in charge here."

Dead silence.

The originally roaring Corpse Tide strangely came to a standstill the moment Lu Sheng landed.

It was the high-level suppression coming from the Dragon God Bloodline within Lu Sheng's body.

"War God Lu isn't dead!!"

"Counterattack! Kill all these beasts!!"

On the North Slope defensive line, tens of thousands of soldiers who had been in despair now erupted in earth-shattering cheers.

Morale, that mysterious and ethereal thing, transformed into tangible killing intent at this moment.

Lu Sheng ignored the cheers behind him. Like a bolt of golden lightning, he plunged directly into the encirclement of the thirty Drowned One guards.

He was too fast.

A speed of 280 meters/second in his normal state was equivalent to teleportation in the eyes of these Level 8 monsters.

Bang!

With a simple straight punch, Lu Sheng blasted through the chest of an octopus Drowned One.

"Blood Devour!"

He gave the opponent no chance to resist, directly sucking them into a meat jerky.

"Run! This human is a monster!"

The remaining dozen or so guards were completely terrified.

They had just seen the Corpse King cleave this human into the ground, but now, not only was he alive and kicking, his aura was even more terrifying than before!

"Do you think you can run?"

Lu Sheng's figure flickered, appearing behind two Drowned Ones trying to flee back into the sea.

His hands were like hooks, directly tearing out their spines.

In less than three minutes, all Level 8 Drowned Ones within a thousand-meter radius were annihilated.

Lu Sheng stood in the center of the pile of corpses, communicating with the giant bronze cauldron with his mind.

"myriad things furnace, collect!"

[Ding! Smelting successful! Obtained top-tier spirit source crystal core x30!]

Feeling the abundant energy within him, Lu Sheng looked past the battlefield toward the distant sea.

There, a sudden mutation occurred.

The Abyssal Corpse King, which had been feeding, had now completely devoured Tian Zhen.

Rumble—!

The originally bright night sky was instantly obscured by endless black clouds.

A massive black vortex formed above the Corpse King's head. The spirit source within a ten-mile radius was forcibly seized by it, forming a black storm that connected heaven and earth.

The Corpse King's body began to swell to five meters. Its original bone armor evolved into a deep, cold, black crystalline texture with a metallic luster.

Those green ghost-fire eyes gradually turned into an eerie dark red.

It had stepped over that threshold.

Level 10—Abyssal Overlord!

A suffocating pressure, like ten thousand mountains pressing down simultaneously, descended.

On Gongga Mountain, countless low-level Spirit Source Users were forced to their knees, coughing up blood.

"Ants..."

The Corpse King slowly raised its head. Its voice was no longer raspy, but instead carried an overlapping demonic tone that echoed in the depths of everyone's Soul.

"Feel despair."

It looked at Lu Sheng, its eyes full of mockery: "Do you still want to resist? Before a true King?"

Feeling the pressure that almost crushed his bones, Lu Sheng not only felt no fear, but instead revealed a crazed smile.

"Level 10?"

Golden light exploded from Lu Sheng's eyes.

"I've also been stuck at the Level 8 threshold for a long time."

"System, strengthen the final organ—the Bladder!"

"Break for me!!"

[Ding! six viscera strengthening complete! Six Treasures forged!]

[Life shackles broken! Commencing promotion—Level 8 Spirit Source Practitioner!]

As the System notification fell.

The long-accumulated energy within Lu Sheng's body, like a volcano that had been dormant for ten thousand years, erupted completely at this moment.

Boom—!!!

A golden pillar of light, dazzling to the extreme, centered on Lu Sheng and violently pierced through the heavens.

This golden light was so pure and so overbearing that it forcibly tore a massive gap in the black Domain created by the Corpse King.

An incredibly shocking scene appeared between heaven and earth.

On the sea, black Qi surged, as if the apocalypse had arrived!

Before the mountain peak, golden light radiated for ten thousand yards, like a deity on patrol!

Two completely different terrifying force fields clashed frantically in mid-air. The resulting shockwaves completely cleared the clouds within a hundred-mile radius.

"This... is this the phenomenon of promoting to Level 8?"

The Old General leaned on the xuanyuan sword, dumbfounded.

In his entire life, he had never seen anyone trigger a heavenly phenomenon at this Realm.

At this time, in the Langmanin Mountain Range dozens of kilometers away from Gongga Mountain.

A stunningly beautiful woman wearing crimson armor was standing on a mountain of corpses.

She was stepping on dozens of Level 8 monster corpses, the long sword in her hand dripping with blood.

Originally, she had been staring solemnly at the black pillar of light from the Corpse King's promotion in the distance, her eyes full of despair.

"A Level 10 Drowned One has been born. The human defensive line... is finished."

But in the next second, her delicate body shook violently, her Phoenix eyes staring fixedly at the golden pillar of light that followed.

Within that golden light, she felt a suppression force of the same origin, or even a higher rank.

"This phenomenon... is it a God-Tier Sequence?!"

The woman's pupils shook violently, and a look of disbelief appeared on her originally pale face: "I didn't expect that in this area, besides me, there would actually be a second person who possesses a God-Tier Sequence?"

"And... this aura is so overbearing!"

She looked down at the Phoenix Pattern faintly emerging at the center of her chest; it was her Sequence resonating, rejoicing, and even feeling slightly excited!

"Who is he?"
