149: Chapter 149 Taking Down the Five-Colored Stone

"By the way... you just said Xiangliu turned transparent. Could it be because of its attacks?" Yue Chan said, sounding uncertain.

Mu Cheng: "We'll know once we try. Leave it to me!"

As he drew closer, Xiangliu reappeared, firing that same laser energy directly at Mu Cheng.

With his previous experience, Mu Cheng dodged it easily this time, but following that...

Two of Xiangliu's heads fired laser energy simultaneously. The attack range increased significantly, yet Mu Cheng still dodged it with ease.

"It really is like that. It seems as long as Xiangliu attacks nine times, we can pass this stage," Yue Chan, who had been observing closely, shouted with certainty.

"Leave the rest to me! It's just dodging, right? It shouldn't be a problem." Mu Cheng was quite confident.

However, his cool facade didn't last three seconds. Xiangliu's third attack was terrifying, with an attack range more than ten times larger.

"This damn thing... it can play like this?" Mu Cheng had no choice but to multitask three ways in desperation.

He released Black Vine for defense, barely managing to block the attack.

"It seems these attacks only cover a certain range. As long as one isn't within that range, they should be fine," Yue Chan thought to herself.

In truth, she really wanted to go up and help, but seeing the devastation ahead, she could only look on helplessly.

Almost everywhere around Mu Cheng was now covered in pits; one wrong move and he might fall straight down.

Before Mu Cheng could even react, Xiangliu's fourth attack arrived. This time, the range...

...covered almost everything directly in front of it.

"Damn it, I can't dodge... I have to take it head-on." Mu Cheng had no other choice but to use qianji to fly up.

Once again, he forcibly endured the laser energy...

"This... it seems I still underestimated Bloodline Power." Mu Cheng was stunned, finding it hard to believe.

His current Bloodline Power could actually be terrifying to such an extent...

"He can even block this, but... Bloodline Power simply won't last that long." Although Yue Chan was worried...

...she remained very calm and did not go up to help.

Xiangliu's fifth attack came. This time the attack was fully unleashed, but it wasn't laser energy.

It was black lightning...

"I want to see today... just how far the limit of my Bloodline Power has reached." Mu Cheng continued to take it head-on.

However, this time the black lightning completely ignored the Black Vine's defense and struck Mu Cheng's body directly.

"This... feeling is actually quite comfortable." Mu Cheng found it incredible; this lightning was actually suitable for his body refining requirements.

Without hesitation, he retracted the Black Vine and immediately circulated the Strongest Body Refining Technique, forcibly absorbing the black lightning.

"This guy... so it's the Strongest Body Refining Technique. It seems my worries were unnecessary." Yue Chan finally breathed a deep sigh of relief.

However, at this moment, Xiangliu continued to release black lightning, with no intention of stopping.

"This works too? At this rate, it won't even need a ninth attack."

Watching Xiangliu become more and more transparent, Yue Chan felt a bit perplexed.

Mu Cheng didn't care about any of that. He kept absorbing and refining the power of the black lightning. The more he refined...

...the more he could truly feel his strength surging.

But soon he couldn't stay happy. The power of the black lightning was increasing, and he finally began to feel pain.

"It seems this is the sixth attack. Whatever, I'll hold on a bit longer. Maybe I can complete a second Breaking and Rebuilding."

As time passed, Mu Cheng's entire body was being subjected to raw torture...

Lightning entered his marrow, and his bones began to snap one by one...

On Xiangliu's side, the final attack arrived. All nine heads released black lightning simultaneously, condensing it into a single sphere.

After hitting Mu Cheng squarely... the entire space returned to its original state. Xiangliu vanished completely without a trace, leaving only the Five-Colored Stone.

As for Mu Cheng, he wasn't finished yet, still trapped within the black lightning.

"It seems... it should be over?" Yue Chan had no better way and could only wait anxiously.

After a full hour, Mu Cheng finally completed his second Breaking and Rebuilding.

"Only the second Breaking and Rebuilding, and my physical strength is already enough to rival a black gold weapon." He was very surprised, feeling it was quite surreal.

If the second time reached this level, the third, fourth, fifth... or even higher, wouldn't that be terrifyingly powerful?

"You're really a freak. This is the genuine divine power of a Realm King God, and you actually endured it." Yue Chan couldn't help but admire Mu Cheng.

The divine power of a Realm King God, just like this?

Mu Cheng was stunned. Coming to his senses, he asked, "Wait... wasn't its strength restricted to the Ninth Order Peak? Logically, even divine power shouldn't be that strong, right?"

"You are dead wrong about that. Aren't you also under restrictions? Besides, once you break through to the Ninth Order, won't you be able to crush others with your strength at will?" Yue Chan retorted.

This was not a lie at all. Currently, Mu Cheng's strength was only at the Seventh Order Peak, yet he could easily withstand Xiangliu.

What about the Eighth or Ninth Order? Wouldn't it be terrifying?

"Hard to say... the Eighth Order feels very, very far away." Mu Cheng suddenly remembered what Peppa had said and felt a bit drained.

It had clearly told Mu Cheng long ago that once his Bloodline Power was fully awakened, he could withstand monster attacks at will.

But it was different when facing humans; that required strength above the Eighth Order!

"Alright, alright. I only want one of these Five-Colored Stone. You don't have any objections, do you?" Yue Chan asked.

She had long since ceased to be a City Lord and didn't belong to any faction.

So regarding resources, she only needed enough for herself.

She needed them to break through to the Ninth Order, and her Transcendent Martial Arts were already at the top level. Now, she just lacked the Five-Colored Stone.

They were needed to upgrade the quality of the green lotus sword... Once she had them, resources would be of no more use to her.

"No problem. By the look of it, there should be more ahead." Mu Cheng agreed readily.

Then he asked, "By the way... send me a copy of the data regarding the legends!"

"It's on the high-tech bracelet; just update it yourself," Yue Chan said, immediately pocketing a Five-Colored Stone.

"Alright then! I'll do it myself." Mu Cheng unhurriedly operated the high-tech bracelet. Once the update was complete, he was instantly shocked.

"This... this is too much! To understand the entire universe, how many years would it take?" Mu Cheng stared, dumbfounded.

Yue Chan: "Actually, it's not hard. It's all divided by civilizations. We are now infinitely close to a Level 1 civilization."

"The civilization theory proposed by some scientist? A Level 9 civilization... wouldn't that be immortal and indestructible?" Mu Cheng suddenly remembered and said.

Yue Chan was speechless. "You're dreaming. The Four Great Ancient Races all belong to Level 9 civilizations, and they aren't immortal or indestructible either."
