220: Chapter 220 The more they fight, the stronger they become; the collapse of the martial arts system.

"My three old friends…"

High in the air, two lines of shocking, bloody tears streamed from Major General Lei Wuji's eyes.

He looked down at the swamp of flesh and blood below, where not even bone fragments remained, and his heart felt as if it were being twisted by a knife. Those were his life-and-death brothers who had shouldered guns and blocked blades with him on the Star Gate frontlines!

"Today, I will have you buried with them!"

Major General Lei Wuji let out a wild roar and struck out with a backhanded palm! Violent Purple Lightning transformed into a massive wall of thunder, forcefully blasting Grand Elder Wang Zhentian, who had been entangling him, back several hundred meters!

The next second, he ignored Grand Elder Wang Zhentian entirely. His entire body transformed into a bolt of heavenly punishment Purple Lightning that pierced the heavens and earth, plummeting straight down from the high sky toward the Undead Blood Beast!

"Rumble!"

Major General Lei Wuji drove the thunder Law of his Tier 6 Martial King Realm to its absolute limit without reservation! He even ignited the Origin of his own Qi and blood!

"Nine Heavens Purple Lightning: Mad Dragon Extinguishes the World!"

Accompanied by Major General Lei Wuji's hoarse roar, the heavens and earth changed color!

A mad dragon, a thousand meters long and condensed entirely from the highest-temperature pure Purple Lightning, roared out from the Void Realm!

Carrying the might of heavenly punishment that destroyed everything, this Purple Lightning mad dragon opened its massive thunderous maw and completely swallowed the hill-sized Undead Blood Beast in one gulp!

"Boom—!!!"

A sea of lightning with temperatures of tens of thousands of degrees exploded in the city center!

The blinding purple-white light instantly robbed everyone in the city of their vision! It was as if a purple sun had risen over the entire capital!

"Sizzle! Crackle!"

The teeth-aching sound of carbonization rang out madly within the sea of lightning. The air was instantly sucked dry. The surrounding steel buildings and asphalt roads, under the terrifying high temperature of the thunder, didn't even go through the process of melting; they were directly vaporized into nothingness!

"Awoo—!" From the center of the sea of lightning, the mournful, shrill scream of the Undead Blood Beast could be faintly heard.

But the scream lasted only half a second before being completely drowned out by the violent thunder.

For a full ten seconds, the bombardment of lightning finally ceased.

"Huff… huff…" Major General Lei Wuji hovered in mid-air, dozens of meters above the ground. He was panting heavily, his entire body soaked in sweat and blood.

Executing such an extreme Law-based finishing move had drained nearly eighty percent of his spiritual energy.

He stared fixedly at the ground below.

The smoke and dust dissipated.

The massive crater where the Undead Blood Beast had previously been coiled was now twice as large! There were no living things at the bottom of the pit. There was only black ash dancing in the sky, and a ground covered in black residue burned to charcoal.

"Is it dead…?" Behind the ruins in the distance, a Zhenyuan Army soldier poked his head out and asked with a trembling voice.

Major General Lei Wuji did not speak, staring intently at the charcoal. His intuition told him that things were not that simple!

"Drip."

Just at this moment, from deep within the crater, under a massive slab of stone that had been scorched and cracked, came an extremely faint dripping sound.

Major General Lei Wuji's pupils shrank violently!

His gaze pierced through the crevice. He saw that in the shadow of the stone slab, a single, tiny, soybean-sized drop of dark red blood had miraculously escaped the high-temperature evaporation of the lightning and remained!

"Oh no!" Major General Lei Wuji's expression changed drastically, and he raised his hand, preparing to throw his thunder spear again.

But it was too late!

"Gurgle!" That soybean-sized drop of blood suddenly beat violently, like a heart!

Immediately afterward, it expanded and divided crazily at a terrifying speed that completely defied the Law of conservation of energy!

"Boom!" The stone slab was instantly shattered!

One second! That drop of blood had turned into a chunk of flesh the size of a house!

Two seconds! The flesh multiplied crazily, transforming into a hundred-meter-tall tower of flesh!

Three seconds!

"Roar—!!!"

A roar, even more violent and deafening than before, erupted from the bottom of the pit!

A brand-new Undead Blood Beast, even larger than before it was struck by lightning, rose up from the ground once more!

"How is this possible!" Major General Lei Wuji's eyes were splitting, and the hand holding the spear was trembling.

There was only one drop of blood left! Just that one drop, and it could actually resurrect instantly?!

But this was not what made Major General Lei Wuji feel the most despair.

"General! Look at its skin!" In the communicator, the military analyst let out a scream that sounded like they had seen a ghost.

Major General Lei Wuji looked closely, only to feel a chill shoot straight up his spine to the top of his head!

The resurrected Undead Blood Beast had undergone an extremely bizarre change in appearance! On the surface of its originally dark red, constantly writhing flesh, a thick, hard, purplish-gray horny layer had grown!

On those horny layers, there were even faint, flickering wisps of purple electric arcs!

"It… it evolved?" Major General Lei Wuji bit his lip, his voice dry.

"I don't believe it! I will smash you to pieces!"

Major General Lei Wuji roared, forcibly squeezing the remaining spiritual energy in his body. He gathered another bucket-thick bolt of violent Purple Lightning and struck it onto the Undead Blood Beast!

"Bang!"

The Purple Lightning struck the Undead Blood Beast, but it did not vaporize its flesh instantly like before.

A strange electric light shimmered on the surface of those purplish-gray horny layers. This bolt of thunder, which was enough to kill a Great Grandmaster in seconds, was actually guided directly to the ground along these horny layers!

"Sizzle…" Only an extremely shallow scorch mark was left on the Undead Blood Beast's body. It didn't even bleed a single drop!

Completely unscathed!

"How could it be like this…" Major General Lei Wuji's hand hung down powerlessly.

The thunder spear dissipated in his palm. For the first time, true despair appeared in the eyes of this most iron-blooded general of the Great Xia.

"General! The data is out!" In the communicator, the analyst wailed, having completely broken down.

"That purplish-gray horny layer is an insulator!"

"It has adapted to your thunder Law!"

"After being struck dead by lightning once, it instantly evolved extremely strong lightning resistance!"

The analyst's wailing spread through the military channel to the ears of every Zhenyuan Army soldier.

"How do we fight? How the Hell are we supposed to fight this?" A battalion commander punched an armored vehicle, smashing his head until he was covered in blood.

Physical slashes? A Great Grandmaster cuts it with a blade, and it just splits into two, or even swallows the person alive!

Bombardment with thermal weapons? Missiles blow it into hundreds of millions of pieces of flesh, only helping it spread its cells; it can reassemble in three seconds!

Elemental Spells? Martial King Realm thunder strikes it into charcoal, yet it resurrects with one drop of blood, and even evolves lightning immunity!

This was simply an unsolvable death trap!

"Hahahaha!" In the sky, Grand Elder Wang Zhentian descended slowly, hovering above the head of the Undead Blood Beast.

Looking down at the devastated Major General Lei Wuji and the military soldiers, he let out a laugh of extreme mockery.

"Major General Lei Wuji! Do you understand now? This is a god! This is a great life form that transcends your understanding!"

At this moment.

Not just Major General Lei Wuji. Every Martial Artist in the city who saw this scene through military surveillance—whether they were ordinary soldiers or reclusive Grandmasters—

the monument of faith in their hearts, known as the "High Martial Arts System," completely collapsed!

For hundreds of years, the Martial Arts Legacy has emphasized polishing the body, projecting Qi and blood, striking weak points, and elemental counter-effects.

But facing this Undead Blood Beast, there were no fixed vital points! It violated the conservation of energy! Infinite regeneration! Infinite evolution!

All Martial Arts theories were trampled underfoot and crushed into a joke by this conceptual-level monster!

"Clang."

Countless combat blades fell to the ground. The soldiers' knees went weak, and they collapsed into pools of blood. They looked at the Undead Blood Beast, which had once again opened its abyssal maw, preparing to swallow the city.

They didn't even have the strength to run away.

Cannot be killed. Cannot escape.

Humanity was completely finished.

"General Lei… what… what should we do?" In the communicator, the adjutant's voice was filled with a desperate, deathly silence.

Major General Lei Wuji stood in mid-air. He looked at the army below that had lost its will to fight, and at the civilians in the distance crying out amidst the ruins.

He did not answer the adjutant. Instead, he slowly closed his eyes.

Two lines of bloody tears slid down his resolute cheeks.

"In the Great Xia, there are no soldiers who wait for death."

When Major General Lei Wuji opened his eyes again, the despair in them had vanished, replaced by an extremely resolute will to die!

The Martial King Golden Core inside his body began to tremble violently. Wisps of destructive purplish-red light leaked out from his Dantian.

"Grand Elder Wang Zhentian." Major General Lei Wuji raised his head, staring fixedly at the traitor above.

"Even if I die,"

"I will drag you, and this beast, down to Hell together!"
