20: Primordial Chaos Level Two! Divine Power: Ultimate Force Field!

Deep within the Ten Thousand Monster Cave, by the lakeside of the lava lake.

Gu Yang was in no hurry to leave.

Although the environment here was harsh and filled with poisonous gas, for him, who possessed the Primordial Golden Body and was immune to all poisons, it was instead an excellent place for secluded cultivation.

Most importantly, there was an entire fresh flood dragon corpse here; moving it was too much trouble, so it was better to consume it on the spot.

“Dinner time!”

Gu Yang tore off a large piece of steaming dragon meat, not caring whether it was raw or cooked (anyway, his stomach was hotter than a furnace), and began to swallow it in large gulps.

The flood dragon meat was as tough as cowhide, and every fiber contained boundless essence.

【Ingesting top-tier Yao Beast flesh... Converting... +10... +10...】

While feasting wildly, Gu Yang opened his attribute panel.

Looking at the massive 542 energy points, his heart couldn't help but beat a few beats faster.

“I'm rich now.”

“System, don't hold back, add the points! Target: Second Layer of the «Primordial Indestructible Golden Body»!”

【Command accepted! Cultivation Technique deduction and upgrade in progress...】

【Consumed energy points: 300 points!】

Rumble—

A thunderous roar echoed from within Gu Yang's body.

It was his internal organs, bones, and muscles undergoing a deep-level restructuring.

On his originally bronze skin, more complex and profound black patterns began to emerge. These patterns seemed to have a life of their own, wandering across his body before finally converging at the center of his forehead, forming an obscure “Strength” character mark that then faded away.

At the same time, the gravity field around him underwent a qualitative change.

Before, the gravity Domain was just a passive halo, but now... with a thought from Gu Yang.

Buzz!

The Void Realm within a five-meter radius suddenly sank.

The gravel on the ground instantly turned to powder, and even the churning lava nearby was actually pressed calm by an invisible force, as if the surface had frozen!

【Congratulations, Host! «Primordial Indestructible Golden Body» has broken through to the Second Layer!】

【Awakened Physical Body Divine Ability—Extreme Dao Force Field!】

【Extreme Dao Force Field: Active Skill. Within a five-meter radius, the gravity multiplier can be adjusted at will (current limit: 5x gravity). Within this force field, the host is unaffected and can control gravitational and repulsive forces to repel or suppress all external objects!】

“5x gravity...”

Gu Yang slowly stood up, feeling the pleasure of controlling everything.

“With this move, if anyone dares to fly in front of me in the future, I'll show them what ‘taking root upon landing’ means.”

He stayed in the cave for three whole days.

In those three days, not only did he finish digesting the three dragon blood fruits, but he also ate dozens of catties of the most choice heart meat from the flood dragon.

He really couldn't eat the rest, so he just skinned the dragon, extracted the dragon bones, and along with that pair of precious dragon horns, packed them into a massive bundle.

“Time to head back.”

Gu Yang shouldered the coiling dragon pillar, carrying the huge bundle of dragon bones on his back, and strode out of the Ten Thousand Monster Cave... Outside the Ten Thousand Monster Cave, the Miasma Forest.

At this moment, a group of uninvited guests had already gathered here.

“Protector Li, are you sure that kid is inside?”

The speaker was an old man wearing a blood-colored robe, hovering in mid-air with his feet on a Flying Sword.

His Aura was deep, and blood-colored Qi swirled around him; he was impressively a Grandmaster-level powerhouse of the Blood God Cult!

Behind him followed dozens of elite Disciples of the Blood God Cult, each brimming with Killing Intent.

“Reporting to Blood Sword Elder, Inspector Hate Heaven Li's Life Tablet shattered in Qingyang City, and we subsequently tracked him here. That kid's scent is here, and... I smell the bloody scent of a fallen flood dragon!”

A Disciple answered respectfully.

A sharp light flashed in Blood Sword Elder's eyes. “A fallen flood dragon? Could that beast have been killed? If so, then the dragon corpse and the dragon blood fruits...”

The look of greed on his face was plain to see.

“Everyone, hear my command! Guard the cave entrance! Whether it's a man or a ghost, kill whoever comes out!”

Just then.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Heavy footsteps echoed from deep within the miasma-filled cave.

Immediately after, a figure as burly as a small mountain, shouldering a massive black iron pillar and carrying a pile of bleached white bones on his back, burst through the miasma and strode out.

“Hmm? Quite a crowd?”

Gu Yang looked at the formation outside, was stunned for a moment, and then grinned. “Are you here to line up and welcome me?”

“It's him! The murderer who killed Inspector Li!” a Disciple pointed at Gu Yang and screamed.

From mid-air, Blood Sword Elder looked down at Gu Yang from a height. His gaze fell on the dragon bones on his back, and his breathing instantly became rapid.

“Are those... flood dragon bones?! You killed the Crimson Flame Flood Dragon?!”

“Kid! Hand over all the treasures and dragon bones on you! This seat might consider leaving you an intact corpse!”

With his feet on the Flying Sword, he hovered twenty meters high in the air, looking as if he had Gu Yang right where he wanted him.

In his view, although this kind of External-Refining Martial Artist had great strength, as long as he was flying in the sky, the other was just a sitting duck, left to his mercy.

Gu Yang looked up at the old man buzzing like a fly, his brow furrowing slightly.

“I really hate people talking while standing over my head.”

“Also, your sword doesn't look very sturdy.”

“Arrogant! Die!”

Blood Sword Elder was furious. With a point of his finger, the Flying Sword beneath his feet instantly turned into a blood-colored stream of light, taking aim directly at the center of Gu Yang's forehead with a piercing sound of breaking air.

“Sword Kinesis? Flashy and useless.”

Gu Yang stood in place, neither dodging nor avoiding.

Just as the Flying Sword was about to enter the five-meter range in front of him—

“Kneel!”

Gu Yang softly spat out two words.

Divine Ability—Extreme Dao Force Field! 5x Gravity! Activate!

Buzz—!!!

The Void Realm within a five-meter radius instantly collapsed and distorted.

That menacing Flying Sword was like being slapped hard by an invisible giant hand.

Clang!

The sword body trembled violently, letting out a mournful cry before falling directly to the ground and embedding itself deeply into the rock. No matter how the Blood Sword Elder channeled his techniques, it wouldn't budge.

“What?! My Blood Shadow Sword!”

Blood Sword Elder was pale with shock. Before he could react, a terrifying suction suddenly acted upon him.

Force Field Reversal—Universal Pull!

“You come down too!”

Gu Yang made a grasping motion in the air.

From twenty meters high, Blood Sword Elder felt his body sink, as if a mountain were tied to his ankles. He plummeted headfirst in a humiliating faceplant!

“No!! I am a Grandmaster! I can fly...”

Splat!

A loud crack.

Blood Sword Elder slammed solidly at Gu Yang's feet, face first. His Protective True Qi shattered instantly, and half his head was embedded in the dirt.

The entire field was deathly silent.

The eyes of those Blood God Cult Disciples were about to pop out.

That was a Grandmaster! A Grandmaster who could fly!

How did he... just fall?

Gu Yang raised his foot and stepped on the back of Blood Sword Elder's still-twitching head, applying a bit of pressure.

“Now, who's leaving whom an intact corpse?”

“Spare... spare my life...” Blood Sword Elder pleaded indistinctly, his heart filled with terror.

What kind of sorcery is this? Gravity? Is this the kind of power a Martial Artist can freaking master?

“Hand over all the money on you.”

Gu Yang leaned over and skillfully snatched Blood Sword Elder's money pouch.

“This is a robbery.”
