129: The ancestor has emerged from seclusion! Who is the real "meat pig"?

A world-shaking pressure swept out from the depths of the Myriad Beast Mountain Forbidden Ground.

The Holy Land geniuses, who had been trying to get a share at the edge of the blood pool, all turned pale. Under this terrifying pressure of Void Refinement Stage Perfection, many even felt their knees go weak and knelt on the spot.

"We welcome the Old Ancestor's emergence!"

Vice Mountain Master Man Lie looked joyful, then immediately put on a terrified expression and led the way in bowing.

A withered figure appeared above the blood pool as if teleporting. The old man named Man Tian had white hair and beard, and his eyes were sunken. He now looked grimly at the Myriad Beast Blood Pool below, which had dried up by nearly sixty percent, revealing the silt at the bottom.

"This old man has been in seclusion for a hundred years to find the Opportunity to break through to the Body Integration Stage," Man Tian's voice was raspy, carrying a heart-palpitating sense of oppression. "And this blood pool is the most critical resource for me to break through the Bottleneck. Who can tell me... where did the essence in this blood pool go?!"

His gaze instantly locked onto the massive vortex still spinning wildly at the bottom of the blood pool. There, a primal power that made even him feel alarmed was throbbing frantically... At this moment, Gu Yang had already grabbed the clump of Divine Beast Origin blood known as the "eye of the blood pool" in his palm. This clump of essence blood was as heavy as ten thousand tons, seemingly containing a miniature world inside.

[High-level "Myriad Beast Origin" detected. Devouring it can accelerate cell crystallization!] [Warning: High-intensity hostile energy reaction detected above!]

Listening to the System's prompts and feeling the terrifying killing intent from above that seemed to freeze space, Gu Yang's mouth didn't droop; instead, it split into an extremely ferocious grin.

His current cultivation was at the Peak of the Divine Demon Golden Body Second Turn (equivalent to Nascent Soul Mid-Stage). If he were an ordinary Spell Cultivator facing a Void Refinement Perfection expert two major Realms higher, he probably wouldn't even have the courage to look up. But Gu Yang was different; he had consumed the heart of the titan in the Mortal Realm, and his body density had reached a level that Spirit Realm Cultivators could not comprehend. To him, powerful pressure... was precisely the best "blacksmith's hammer."

"Since the old fellow is awake, I'll take the chance to finish this last bowl of soup while it's hot!"

Gu Yang didn't hesitate. Under the furious gaze of the Void Refining Old Ancestor, he opened his mouth wide and swallowed the priceless "eye of the blood pool" in one gulp.

"How dare you, brat!!!" Old Ancestor Man Tian let out a world-shaking roar. That was his "lifeblood" prepared for breaking through to the Body Integration Stage, and it was actually swallowed in public by an unknown dark-skinned fellow?

"Die!" Old Ancestor Man Tian slammed his right hand down through the void.

"Law Divine Ability—Myriad Beast Prison Tremor!"

Hum—! The space in Qingzhou, which was already as solid as raw iron, was actually forcibly compressed at this moment. A giant ancient beast claw, composed of countless Law runes and carrying the power to shatter the void, slammed down ruthlessly toward Gu Yang at the bottom of the blood pool. This strike was enough to crush any Soul Transformation Perfection Cultivator into meat paste!

..."Rumble————!"

The loud noise spread for a thousand miles. The entire blood pool completely exploded under this palm strike. Blood water mixed with mud filled the air, shattering the surrounding protective Formations. Amidst the drifting dust and blood mist, Old Ancestor Man Tian snorted coldly, "An ant who doesn't know death." In his view, even a Void Refinement Stage Cultivator of the same level would be heavily injured if they took his angry strike head-on.

However, "Old man, did you... use all your strength on sleeping during your seclusion?" A cold, low voice with a metallic rasp came from deep within the blood mist.

"Whoosh—" A violent gust of air instantly blew away the dust. Gu Yang was seen bare-chested, his muscles like pieces of repeatedly forged black-gold divine iron. Dark red Dragon-Elephant Divine Runes were interwoven on his skin, forming an extremely ferocious "blood-colored armor." He held the five-hundred-thousand-jin star shattering hammer in one hand, stepping on the rubble with his spine held perfectly straight.

On his chest, although there was a clear claw print half an inch deep, it was visibly recovering at a rapid pace under the almost perverse recovery power of the Divine Demon Second Turn.

"What?!" The geniuses watching from the surroundings completely lost their minds.

"He... his Physical Body took a hit from a Void Refinement Perfection expert head-on? Not only did he not shatter, but not even a bone is broken?"

"What exactly is this dark fellow's cultivation? Nascent Soul Mid-Stage? Don't joke with me!"

On the high platform, Saintess Feng Ni's beautiful eyes sparkled with brilliance, her slender fingers tightly gripping her skirt. She had bet correctly. This man named "Tie Niu" had a life potential that was simply at a monster level she had never heard of... "Interesting... truly interesting." Old Ancestor Man Tian looked at the fearless Gu Yang below. Due to extreme anger, a strange smile actually appeared on his old face.

"No wonder you dared to loot my blood pool; it turns out you've mastered some forbidden technique of an ancient Body Cultivator. However, if you can't digest what you've eaten, it becomes a death warrant! I will throw you into the Pill Furnace now and refine your flesh and blood back into a Blood Essence Golden Core!"

Old Ancestor Man Tian pressed his palms together, and his entire body actually grew several yards taller in an instant. Behind him, a terrifying Dharma Image a thousand feet long with nine lion heads soared into the sky.

"Avatar of Heaven and Earth—Nine-Headed Sea-Suppressing Lion!"

This was no ordinary Spell but a Divine Ability unique to Void Refinement Stage experts that could communicate with the world's Origin. Standing in the shadow of the Dharma Image, Gu Yang felt the massive pressure that was almost going to crush his bones. Driven by that pressure, the "eye of the blood pool" he had just swallowed began to release violent energy frantically. These energy surged through his limbs and bones; if not vented in time, he would truly explode and die.

"Old man, you've come at just the right time. I was just worried I had nowhere to digest my food!"

Gu Yang looked up, revealing a set of white teeth, his eyes filled with fanatical Battle Intent.

"Divine Demon Second Turn—Extreme Dao Power Boost!"

The Five Elements Great Millstone inside Gu Yang's body spun frantically. He didn't choose to defend; instead, he kicked off the ground violently. "Bang!" The ley lines at the foot of Myriad Beast Mountain instantly collapsed by dozens of meters from this kick. Gu Yang turned into a streak of dark red lightning, charging directly at the massive Nine-Headed Lion Dharma Image. He intended to head-on clash with a Void Refinement Perfection Dharma Image using his Nascent Soul Mid-Stage physical cultivation!

..."Boom————!!!"

The star shattering hammer in Gu Yang's hand erupted with a "vibration force" that was pure to the extreme at this moment. It was the product of him focusing all the energy he had just devoured into this single strike. The hammerhead collided with the Nine-Headed Lion's sky-covering giant claw in mid-air. There were no light effects from Spells, only a physical explosion pure to the extreme!

The surrounding space trembled violently at this moment, and fine black cracks spread out from the point of impact in all directions.

"Awoooo————!" A lion's roar filled with shock and intense pain echoed through the clouds.

Under the horrified gazes of everyone, the Void Refinement Stage Dharma Image, claimed to be invincible among myriad beasts, had its massive lion claw... smashed into a huge hole by Gu Yang's hammer strike! Gu Yang, using that terrifying recoil, flipped in the air and landed steadily on a mountaintop. Although the webbing between his thumbs and index fingers on both arms had split and golden blood was flowing, the sharp light in his eyes grew even brighter.

"Ha... how satisfying!" Gu Yang laughed loudly.

He felt that the Myriad Beast Origin that had been rampaging in his body was actually "hammered" deep into his bone marrow by this head-on collision.

[Divine Demon Golden Body Second Turn: Stability 100%!] [Body Particle Strength: Increased by 30%!]

"Old man, come again!" Gu Yang pointed at the Old Ancestor in the sky, arrogant to the extreme. "Today, either I take apart your old bones, or... you'll serve as a competent blacksmith for me!"

At this moment, the face of the Myriad Beast Mountain Old Ancestor, Man Tian... turned completely green.
