508: Chapter 508 Muscle Armor, the Prototype of the Ultimate Creature

Chapter 508: Muscle Armor, Rudiment of the Ultimate Creature

In the afternoon.

Inside the spacious living room, it was wreathed in smoke like a sauna.

Rolling waves of heat, mixed with a rich aroma of meat and grease, filled every inch of space.

The floor was piled with torn vacuum-packaging bags, scattered empty tin cans, and large patches of sticky bloodstains and food crumbs.

It was as if it had just experienced a savage gluttonous feast, and the scene was too horrible to look at.

Writing up to this point, I hope readers remember our domain name: chasing novels in Taiwan, the Divine Artifact is super easy to use.

Snap, snap——

In the silent room, a heart-pounding sound echoed continuously, just like using a cutting machine to smash hard beast bones.

Finally, after gnawing on the last spiced pig trotter, Fang Cheng's chewing motion stopped.

That feeling of hunger, which almost devoured his sanity, receded like a tide, leaving only a sense of fullness with his stomach walls slightly wriggling.

"Hoo——"

Fang Cheng let out a long breath of foul air.

The scalding breath gathered and did not dissipate, shooting straight out like a white arrow for several meters before slowly dissolving into the smoke.

He looked somewhat dazed at the mountain of garbage in front of him, as well as the large freezer that was almost half empty, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Could these... all be eaten by me?"

Fang Cheng subconsciously touched his belly.

With the wild binge eating just now, dozens of catties of high-calorie meat went into his belly.

If it were an ordinary person, even with ten stomachs, they probably would have burst from being stuffed long ago.

But at this moment, the degree of his protruding abdomen was not too exaggerated, and it was subsiding at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The digestive System inside his body, which was like a melting pot, was operating at full speed, instantly decomposing and gasifying the swallowed food, squeezing dry every drop of nutrition.

Until it transformed into the purest life energy, filling the deficit in the cell Origin.

Although bodily instincts were still transmitting the signal of "I can still eat."

But his sanity clearly told him: He must stop!

"Hiccup——"

Fang Cheng burped, forcibly suppressing the greedy urge to continue eating.

Casually pulling over a tissue, he wiped away the oil stains from the corner of his mouth.

He was not in a hurry to immediately add the remaining 5 free attribute points.

Instead, he slowly paced around the messy living room, helping his body complete the final digestion and adaptation.

The boiling Qi and blood inside his body continuously nourished his limbs and bones along the blood vessels.

Every step he took, the soles of his feet seemed to take root as they firmly planted on the ground, and he could clearly feel the changes brought by adding points.

Fang Cheng clenched his fist.

The moment his five fingers closed, the air in his palm seemed to be squeezed and popped, making a crisp sound.

An unprecedented sense of control arose spontaneously.

It was as if this Physical Body was no longer a fragile flesh and blood body, but a precision-running war machine forged from steel.

Fang Cheng closed his eyes, his mind sinking into his body.

The Dantian and Qi Sea, which were already vast enough, actually expanded outward by more than double.

The azure True Qi surged and roared within it like a vast ocean.

Not only did the total amount skyrocket, but its purity was also raised by a notch, faintly revealing a golden luster.

As his attention deepened, Fang Cheng initiated an even more meticulous inner vision.

He clearly heard the sound of his own heartbeat.

That was the low roar like a heavy-duty hydraulic pump working at full capacity.

Every pulsation was heavy and powerful, shaking his chest cavity into a slight resonance.

The pumped blood was no longer an ordinary bright red liquid, but had become viscous and heavy, resembling liquid mercury flowing in the blood vessels.

This high-density plasma, if placed in an ordinary person's body, would instantly cause blood vessel blockage and a skyrocketing blood pressure with just a single drop, triggering systemic organ failure and death.

It could be said that such a peculiar physiological phenomenon had completely violated the common sense of modern medicine.

But inside Fang Cheng's body, this mercury-heavy blood, driven by the powerful heart engine, surged endlessly at an astonishing flow rate.

The blood washed against the walls of the blood vessels, actually making a "rustling" sound like great rivers and torrents surging.

The oxygen and nutrients carried in the thick plasma far exceeded ordinary humans by hundreds of times, providing an endless source of terrifying power for this extraordinary Physical Body.

Muscles relaxed and contracted, Qi and blood flowed and connected, and the spinal dragon emitted a slight "clack-clack" sound.

The body was adapting to the new strength at this moment.

Fang Cheng's line of sight then penetrated layers of flesh and blood, looking toward his limbs and bones.

The originally pale skeleton had long since shed its Mortal colors, presenting the texture of jade throughout its body, shimmering with a faint golden luster.

The bone density was even shockingly large, and the structure seemed to be compressed to the extreme, as if it were closely arranged by countless tiny diamond crystals.

Moving his joints with a little force, dull sounds like the clashing of gold and iron burst forth from his body.

This skeleton, I'm afraid even if hydraulic shears were used to destroy it, it would be difficult to leave a trace.

Even if it were hit head-on by an anti-tank large-caliber sniper rifle, the bullet would directly get stuck in the bone gaps and unable to advance an inch.

This was no longer human bone, but simply some kind of Sharp Weapon born for battle.

And those fascias and muscle fibers wrapping around the bones were likewise arranged more compactly than the strongest steel cables.

They tightened and stretched under the skin, containing a terrifying strength sufficient to tear armor and forcefully shake steel.

"This is... a true rebirth!"

Fang Cheng suddenly opened his eyes and praised in a low voice.

At this time, wisps of rising white smoke were still lingering on his forehead.

His entire body was like a nuclear reactor that would never go out, continuously radiating heat outward.

Even if he stood naked in the icy snowfield of the Arctic right now, he probably wouldn't feel cold.

This was completely the manifestation of Qi and blood being prosperous to the extreme, enough to resist severe cold and intense heat.

Fang Cheng slowly raised his arm and placed it in front of his eyes.

He saw that the skin, which was bronze due to long-term exercise, had undergone a miraculous metamorphosis.

The dead skin on the surface dried into scraps, falling off in rustles to reveal the newborn skin underneath.

That skin was fair and delicate, even exuding a baby-like tender luster, forming a sharp contrast with the previous bronze color.

Fang Cheng raised his eyebrows, his whole body's muscles suddenly tensing up and then abruptly relaxing.

An invisible Qi burst forth from his body, shaking off all the dead skin attached to his body surface, which scattered on the floor and turned into a layer of fine debris.

He then walked into the bathroom, stood in front of the washbasin mirror, and reached out to wipe away the condensed water mist on the mirror surface.

When the figure in the mirror clearly appeared, Fang Cheng's pupils contracted slightly.

There was no exaggerated dimension of knotted muscles and bulging blue veins as imagined, nor did he turn into a giant macho man over two meters tall.

At first glance, his body shape had not changed much.

Even compared to the wild and capable look before, his outline appeared much more restrained, unexpectedly exuding an illusion of "fragility."

But this was merely a superficial appearance.

The muscle lines that were originally distinct blocks now became unusually soft and smooth.

As if carefully polished by the Creator's pair of most exquisite Great Master hands, all edges, corners, and hot tempers were removed.

However, beneath this softness, there was hidden a heart-pounding sense of perfection.

The muscles all over his body, under the bathroom lights, shimmered with a lustrous yet indestructible luster similar to jade.

Every inch of skin was so tight without the slightest flaw, and the pores almost disappeared from view.

It was like an ancient Greek statue that had just been carved and had not yet been tainted by the Mortal world.

This was not regression, but evolution.

It was the manifestation of completely compressing and condensing the originally scattered and violent power to the extreme.

Looking at the handsome man in the mirror who was both familiar and strange, the corners of his mouth curved into an arc:

"What is this considered? The rudiment of the ultimate creature?"

Suddenly, Fang Cheng's eyes narrowed slightly, as he thought of something.

He immediately turned around and walked out of the bathroom, heading straight for the kitchen.

His gaze swept across the stainless steel storage rack inserted with various knives, then he picked out the sharpest boning knife and gently pulled it out.

With a flick of his wrist, he spun a fancy knife flower, cold light flashing and sharpness compelling.

After taking a deep breath, he aimed the tip of the knife at his left arm and poked it with a little force.

The touch was very bizarre.

At first it felt like stabbing into a thick piece of rubber, full of excellent elasticity.

But when he further increased his strength, although the tip of the knife seemed to sink in a bit, it immediately encountered a strong resistance.

It was like hitting a steel plate hidden beneath the epidermis.

The muscle fibers contracted tightly in an instant, becoming incomparably tough.

This feeling was like wearing a layer of invisible high-tech biological body armor, which could perhaps also be called "muscle armor."

It combined both flexibility and toughness, comparable to Kevlar synthetic fiber Materials, and its tensile strength was several times that of steel, yet it was light and soft.

Therefore, it could withstand wear and tear in extreme environments, as well as resist strong external impacts.

"This is a bit interesting."

A trace of excitement flashed in Fang Cheng's eyes, and with a turn of his thought, he no longer held back.

He directly pressed the sharp blade against the skin of his forearm and slashed hard.

"Sizz——"

A muffled sound similar to cutting cowhide sounded accordingly.

The blade slid past, leaving only a shallow white mark, and unexpectedly didn't even break the skin.

Fang Cheng was slightly surprised.

You must know that although his current strength was only 65 points, it far exceeded ordinary ability users.

This slash alone was enough to cut off the bones of tigers, leopards, and fierce beasts, yet now it couldn't even break the defense of his own epidermis?

"It seems that the defense has indeed increased by more than a notch."

Fang Cheng gritted his teeth, the muscles on his arm suddenly bulging, exerting 70% of his strength to slash fiercely once again.

This time, the skin finally couldn't bear it, and a slender cut was slashed open, with bright red blood oozing out.

Fang Cheng didn't take any emergency measures, just staring closely at that wound, silently calculating the time.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

A miraculous scene occurred.

He saw the muscles on both sides of the wound beginning to wriggle violently as if they had life, with countless tiny granulation buds growing and intertwining wildly.

The wound that was still bleeding quickly stopped bleeding and coagulated.

In less than half a minute, a layer of dark brown scab had already formed on the surface of the wound.

Fang Cheng reached out and gently wiped, the blood scab fell off, revealing the newborn pink and tender skin underneath.

Except for the slightly reddish color, there was unexpectedly no trace of any injury.

"This self-healing ability... it's not far from the legendary indestructible body of Vajra, right?"

Fang Cheng couldn't help clenching his fists in joy, feeling the surging, sea-like life energy inside his body, and a surge of boldness welled up in his heart.

Is this the feeling of transforming from a Mortal to a superman?

Breaking through the limits of the human body, breaking away the shackles of genetic locks, and achieving a leap in the level of life.

Simply—exhilarating!

If he returned to that night at the Haoting Hotel, facing the consciousness projection of that man once again, even if he still chose to use his fists to forcefully shake the space passage.

That terrifying explosion shockwave would probably only cut several wounds on the surface muscles at most.

It would heal automatically in less than a few minutes, completely undamaged.

How strong was he, having such a perverted Physical Body?

Fang Cheng's thought stirred, and he slowly raised his hand.

A wisp of azure True Qi quietly emerged, tightly attached to his palm and fingertips.

It was completely different from the previous state of humming and vibrating continuously at the edges.

The True Qi at this moment was terrifyingly condensed.

It no longer had the slightest dissipation and fluctuation, but was as stable as a solid, crystal clear throughout.

Resembling covering his hand with a layer of sharp blade polished from blue crystal.

Fang Cheng looked at his palm, which was slender like white jade and covered with the edge of blue crystal, and waved it gently.

It did not bring up the slightest sound of wind, nor did it have the shrieking of tearing the air.

Where the palm swept past, the aluminum alloy towel rack in front broke silently.

Just like tofu cut by a high-energy laser, the cut was incomparably smooth without a trace of burrs.

Until the moment this palm's offensive paused, a trace of extremely subtle transparent ripples faintly rippled in the air.

Then it instantly converged into the palm and disappeared without a trace.

"Returning to simplicity..."

Four words could not help but emerge in Fang Cheng's mind.

This was a Realm that transcended the simple concept of "strong," just like the sublimation of the essence of life.

Right now, even if he just stood quietly there, he exuded a harmonious, flawless, and natural charm.

This was the qualitative change brought by the 80-point Physique milestone.

Golden light flickered in the depths of Fang Cheng's pupils, and his vision penetrated the dimension of reality.

Deep in the ocean of consciousness, that grand Inner Scene World also underwent earth-shaking changes at this moment.

The island extended toward the Void Realm again, and the Spiritual Qi was so dense that it turned into a light mist.

Even that towering golden palace became increasingly solemn and magnificent after experiencing drastic changes.

The sun hanging high in the sky scattered ten thousand rays of golden light, radiating endless vitality and nourishing this newly born world.

At present, on the level of his Physical Body, he could be said to have completely met the demanding requirements for the "outer" part of "Inner Scene World manifestation."

This shell was already sufficient to bear the great power of changing heaven and earth.

It lacked only the further metamorphosis of the "inner" spirit, as well as an opportunity for the two to blend together seamlessly like milk and water.

"Since the foundation has already been laid now..."

Looking at his nearly perfect body in the mirror, the light in Fang Cheng's eyes became fervent again.

"Then let's see, what kind of surprises will it bring in the future after all attributes break through the limits..."

With a thought, he summoned the interface and cast his gaze toward the remaining 5 free attribute points.

Without the slightest hesitation, he added all of them to [Strength].

Hum——

The panel values jumped, and the Strength attribute instantly broke through the 70-point mark.

A brand new warm current subsequently poured into his limbs and bones.
