Chapter 327 Obtaining the Ancient Emperor's Finger Bone, I'm Going to the Far North to Fli
The gray fog surged like a tide, instantly swallowing up the sunlight surrounding Dengxian Island.
The black ghost ship flying the one-eyed flag did not dock, but instead abruptly stopped ten nautical miles from the iceberg. The seawater around the ship seemed to be boiling, bubbling and spewing black bubbles, and a nauseating stench wafted on the sea breeze, drowning out the aroma of meat that had previously permeated the island.
"vomit--"
Several Western superhumans with lower cultivation levels immediately knelt down and retched. The smell was not only foul, but also brought a dizzying sensation that went straight to the head, as if smelling it would make the soul grow mold.
"It's...it's the 'Gluttony'!"
Gabriel of the Oracle had just crawled out of the sea, half of his platinum armor shattered. Upon seeing the ship, his already pale face turned ashen. "That's the Abyss Council's mobile lair in the open ocean! They say it houses a…"
Before he could finish speaking...
"roar------!!!"
A muffled roar, like the compression of the earth's crust, exploded from the deep sea beneath the ghost ship.
Immediately afterwards, a mountain of flesh... emerged from the water.
It was a gigantic monster three times larger than the five-colored warship. It had no fixed form; its entire body was made up of countless writhing, rotting chunks of flesh, with dark green slime flowing from its surface. Thousands of thick tentacles lashed wildly in the air, each tipped with a mouth full of fangs.
The most terrifying thing is its central body, which has a gaping maw big enough to swallow an aircraft carrier. Inside it is not a tongue, but a series of rotating eyeballs.
[Warning! High-level abyssal creature reaction detected!]
[Target Codename: Glutton (Level 49 Abyss Lord - Pinnacle)]
[Characteristics: Devouring Evolution, Rule Corruption, Immortality.]
[Note: It was hungry, and the "ancient corpse" here was an unparalleled delicacy for it.]
As soon as the monster appeared, its thousands of tentacles ignored the distance in space and shot wildly toward the iceberg behind Lu Sheng that exuded an alluring Daoist aura.
It smelled it.
Those ancient powerful beings sealed within the ice were like freshly made, supreme tonics to the creatures of the abyss.
"It's over... This is a real monster!"
The broken sword in Li Xiaoyao's hand was trembling. The sheer size of a creature of this level was enough to suffocate an ordinary Spirit King.
Dao Yi's face turned deathly pale, his whisk frozen in mid-air: "It's going to devour the Hero's Tomb! Activate the formation!!"
However, the formation had not yet lit up.
A dark shadow moved faster than the light of the formation.
Standing atop the iceberg, Lu Sheng looked at the overwhelming tentacles and the nauseating mountain of flesh, his brows furrowed so deeply they could trap a fly.
"Who ordered takeout just now?"
Lu Sheng's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly pierced through the deafening roar.
He held the Dragon Devourer Spear, still stained with meat broth, in his hand. His face showed no fear, but rather a disgusted look.
"Although the presentation isn't great, the portion size is..."
Lu Sheng licked his lips, and the gray light in his eyes, which had been subdued, surged again, turning into two greedy ghost flames.
"That's quite enough."
boom!
Lu Sheng stomped his right foot hard on the Xuanbing ice.
The entire iceberg, towering three thousand meters high, trembled slightly. Using the reaction force, he transformed into a streak of black and gold light, advancing instead of retreating, and crashing directly into the countless tentacles.
"You're courting death! That's the corrupting rule of the abyss! Touching it will cause you to rot!"
The red-clad female mage from the distant Pantheon screamed in alarm.
But the next second, her scream stopped abruptly, as if her neck had been snapped.
Puff puff puff!
Wherever that black and gold light passed, everything, from tentacles as thick as buckets to highly corrosive abyssal slime, exploded.
Lu Sheng didn't activate his shield at all.
With his Ancient Divine Body, which even a peak Spirit King couldn't break through, he forcefully carved a straight bloody path through the rain of tentacles.
"Get down on your knees!"
Lu Sheng instantly appeared directly above the "Glutton".
The Dragon Devouring Spear in his hand swelled in the wind, instantly transforming into a colossal pillar tens of thousands of feet long, wreathed in purple and gold light.
The newly absorbed "Azure Lotus Sword Intent" on the gun body perfectly merged with the original domineering gun intent, blooming into an extremely bewitching lotus flower of destruction.
"fall!!"
Lu Sheng's arms bulged with muscles, like two angry dragons cast in black gold, as he held the ten-thousand-foot-long spear shadow and slammed it down hard on the mountain of flesh below.
Boom! ...
The entire sea area looked as if a meteorite weighing tens of millions of tons had been thrown into it.
The level 49 Abyss Lord didn't even have time to scream before it was smashed from the sea surface into the seabed by this shot.
But it's not over yet.
The Dragon Devouring Spear, like a stabilizing pillar, pierced directly through its flesh and its domain of rules, and finally...
Boom!
This arrogant abyss lord was pinned to the seabed thousands of meters deep!
Dark green abyssal blood gushed out like a fountain, instantly staining the sea surface for hundreds of miles around green.
"Still not dead?"
Lu Sheng hovered in mid-air, looking at the mass of rotten flesh that, though pinned down, was still writhing frantically in an attempt to regenerate, and clicked his tongue in annoyance.
This thing is ridiculously resilient; as long as the core doesn't break, it can stick back together even if it's chopped into dumpling filling.
"Then don't blame me for being unhygienic."
Lu Sheng took a deep breath, and the imperial runes on his body surged wildly.
hold head high--!!!
Behind him, the thousand-meter-tall Desolate Heaven Emperor's Dharma Image did not fully manifest, but instead transformed into a set of illusory black and gold armor, attaching itself to his body.
His pupils instantly dilated, his forehead bulged, and a pair of ferocious dragon horns pierced his skin.
[God-level Sequence - Human-Dragon Form - Activate!]
boom!
Lu Sheng's figure disappeared.
When he reappeared, he was already standing in front of the monster's gaping maw filled with eyeballs.
There, the air was filled with digestive acid powerful enough to melt alloys instantly and high concentrations of abyssal toxic gas.
"We need to remove the pits before we eat."
Lu Sheng grinned, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth.
Then, to everyone's utter astonishment, he actually... crawled into the monster's mouth!
"He's gone mad! He's gone mad! That's the stomach of the Abyss Lord, that's the Dead Zone of Rules!" Gabriel clutched his head, feeling his worldview crumble.
However, only three breaths had passed.
"Awooo——————!!!"
A heart-wrenching scream, as if the soul were being torn apart, echoed from the seabed.
The massive mountain of flesh that had been struggling suddenly began to convulse violently.
Followed by.
puff!
A large bulge suddenly appeared in the monster's chest cavity, where the energy core was beating wildly.
Then, a hand covered in black and gold dragon scales tore out from within!
Blood splattered.
Covered in blood, Lu Sheng clutched a millstone-sized, still frantically beating dark green heart as he stepped out of the rift.
The heart, connected to countless thick blood vessels and nerves, was crackling like a broken cable.
"The taste is a bit strong, but it's fresh."
Lu Sheng stood on the monster's corpse, letting the highly poisonous blood splatter on his body, emitting hissing white smoke.
He held the core in one hand and placed the other hand on it.
hum-
The deathly gray phantom of the [Ancient Devouring Furnace] in his abdomen reappeared.
"Refine!"
There were no unnecessary movements.
The heart, containing the life essence of a level 49 Abyss Lord, visibly withered away, transforming into torrents of extremely pure energy, which were swallowed by Lu Shengjing.
[Ding! Devoured a level 49 Abyss Lord Core!]
[Energy Points +500,000!]
[Gain special attribute: Abyss Resistance +15%.]
[The ancient divine body's resolution has been increased to 25%!]
Lu Sheng let out a burp and casually tossed the heart remnant, now reduced to rubble, into the sea.
At this moment, the monster called "Glutton" had completely stopped wriggling and turned into a huge fleshy island floating on the sea.
The entire room fell silent.
The only sound was the waves crashing against the corpse.
Lu Sheng wiped the blood from his face and turned to look at Dao Yi and Li Xiaoyao, who were already petrified.
"What are you standing there for?"
Lu Sheng pointed to the huge loot at his feet, speaking as casually as if he were ordering dinner.
"Although this thing looks ugly, it is a genuine high-level spiritual flesh."
"Dao Yi, take some men and drag it back."
"Wash them clean, remove the poison sacs and rotten flesh, and cut the rest into pieces. Tell the cook to add more chili and cumin, to give the brothers on the island an extra meal."
Dao Yi: "..."
Li Xiaoyao: "..."
Gabriel: "..."
Treating the Abyss Lord...as an extra meal?
Is this something a human being would do?
Just as everyone was still questioning their existence, Lu Sheng's gaze suddenly sharpened.
He looked at the ghost ship that had begun to slowly retreat, attempting to escape.
Just now, in the instant he devoured that heart, a very obscure fragment of memory flowed into his mind along with the energy.
That's not about the monster, but about... where it came from.
[The Grand Star Festival...the advance team...has arrived...]
[Coordinates locked: Polar ice field...]
[Mission: Awaken... the Great Old Ones beneath the 'Frost Throne'...]
"Trying to run away?"
Lu Sheng sneered and raised the Dragon Devouring Spear in his hand once more.
He was just about to make a move and leave that wrecked ship behind as well.
Click.
As if sensing danger, the ghost ship suddenly shattered the space around its hull, and a huge black vortex appeared out of thin air.
Without the slightest hesitation, it plunged directly into the vortex and used spatial jump to escape.
But at the very last moment before the stern disappeared.
Something was thrown off the ship.
It was a black metal box that landed right in front of Lu Sheng on the sea.
Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow, flicked the tip of his spear, and obtained the box.
I opened it and took a look.
Inside lay a section of... finger bone.
A finger bone, its entire body as smooth and warm as black jade, exuding an aura of unparalleled dominance throughout the ages.
[Ding! 'Remains of an Ancient Emperor' detected (9/10)!]
[Source: Abyss Council - Pledge of Allegiance]
[Message: We're waiting for you in the far north, human. Take your 'key' with you.]
"Oh."
Lu Sheng closed the box, held the finger bone in his palm, and felt the familiar resonance of blood.
He looked up towards the north, towards the polar ice fields that are covered by blizzards all year round.
"A pledge of allegiance?"
A cruel smile curled at the corner of Lu Sheng's lips, and the gray light in his eyes was deeper than the abyss.
"Okay."
"Since you're being so polite, bringing the bones right to our doorstep..."
"So, this trip to the far north..."
"Not only am I going there, I'm going to... completely overturn your table!"
