Chapter 154: The Essence of the Devouring Gold Tribe (1/3)
Zhou Heng picked up the jade bottle, and in the instant his hand touched it, a piece of information also immediately entered his mind.
This is a bottle of blood, refined and purified, from an ancient and mysterious tribe known as the Metal Eater Tribe. This tribe has a natural ability to consume metal to strengthen their bodies, not only are they incredibly powerful, but their bodies are also as hard as metal, indestructible!
If this bottle of essence blood can be refined, then it will be possible to obtain the ability of the Xīn Jīn tribe. However, if the violent force in the essence blood cannot be subdued, the consequences will be disastrous - being cast into metal by the essence blood and dying instantly!
Moreover, the probability of failure far exceeds the possibility of success, which can be called nine deaths and one life. But if you can survive, the physical strength will be enhanced to a terrible degree, and the defensive power will also be strong to the extreme!
Zhou Heng's heart skipped a beat!
Strictly speaking, the characteristics of the Xī Jīn tribe and the Black Sword are similar. One is to devour metal, while the other is to devour the vital energy of the dead. One increases strength and robust physique, while the other accumulates spiritual power.
Why can't we have both since they don't conflict with each other?
As for the possibility of being unable to subdue the essence blood, Zhou Heng naturally didn't even think about it. The Black Sword can suppress the ancient, and is absolutely not afraid that this bottle of essence blood might rebel!
Zhou Heng didn't hesitate for a moment, he pulled out the cork and put the bottle to his mouth, glug glug glug, and in just two swallows, he had drunk all the blood in the bottle. Instantly, a hot flow entered his throat and into his stomach, then transformed into billions of particles that spread throughout his body, finally re-gathering in his dantian.
These particles shone with golden light and quickly combined into a human figure, entirely cast in metal, even the hair was made of shining metallic threads. Like Huang Longdan, but this blood essence formed metal man gave Zhou Heng much more pressure!
"You dare to covet the innate abilities of my Golden Fang tribe? You will die!" The metal man flew up, conjuring a golden hammer in his hand, and smashed it down towards Zhou Heng's head.
This is not a physical attack, but from the world of consciousness, it's a contest at the level of divine awareness. If his divine awareness collapses, then Zhou Heng will become an undead person, and his body will be assimilated into metal by the power of his refined blood.
"Hmm!" Zhou Heng let out a heavy hum, he had been practicing the Ling Tian Nine Forms for many days, although he still couldn't use it freely, but in this world of consciousness, he wouldn't be restricted by his strength.
His spiritual cultivation had long surpassed the boundary!
The power of the Nine Heavens' Ninth Style was even more overwhelming than the Dragon's oppressive might. With this hum, the Golden Man was stunned for a moment, but only for an instant, and then he continued to attack Zhou Heng again.
It's not that the Ling Tian Jiu Shi is not powerful enough, but rather that Zhou Heng can't bring out its true might! On the other hand, the Xi Jin tribe can swallow metal to increase their strength, which is also an against-the-heavens ability. The former master of this refined blood had no idea how terrifying it would grow.
Therefore, there is the saying of refining and transforming one's essence and blood, and dying nine times but living once.
Zhou Heng waved his hand and a black broken sword appeared in his hand. He unfolded the Ling Tian Jiu Shi, dancing with the sword shadow that destroyed heaven and earth.
Boom!
Just like the Qinglong's spirit in the Huáng Lóng Dān, the Golden Man had no ability to resist in front of the Ling Tian Jiu Shi and under the Black Sword. In an instant, he was sliced into countless fragments of light and truly merged into Zhou Heng's body.
Zhou Heng's body was violently trembling as he rapidly absorbed the innate ability of the Xī Jīn tribe, a transformation akin to rebirth!
He had obtained the power of Blood Vessels from Huang Long Dan, which was simple, just increasing one of his abilities, almost equivalent to martial skills. But the pure blood of the Xī Jīn tribe was absolutely different, and it would actually overthrow Zhou Heng's body structure and rebuild it!
Once this transformation is complete, apart from his mind, his body will become exactly the same as that of a Gold Eater!
At that time, he can't be called a human being either, it's just the Gold Eater Clan.
How can this be?
Zhou Heng's eyes narrowed, he hadn't had enough of being human, wanting to become a different kind. His body and skin came from his parents, but he hadn't even seen his mother's face yet. If in the future he became a golden statue to meet his old mother, wouldn't she scold him to death? Ten months of pregnancy and she gave birth to such a freak!
Give me tranquilizer!
Zhou Heng only needed the ability of the Xikou tribe to swallow metal, and was absolutely unwilling to be assimilated into a different tribe.
At this point, Hei Jian was no longer of any help, because the Xī Jīn tribe was superior to humans in terms of their level of life. This bodily transformation seemed beneficial to Zhou Heng from Hei Jian's perspective, so why would he stop it?
Fortunately, the opposing will in Jingxue has also been destroyed. Zhou Heng forcibly controlled Jingxue with his strong will and limited this transformation to the skeletal structure of his right hand.
One hour, three hours, ten hours, one day!
After two whole days, this makeover is finally complete!
Zhou Heng revealed a relieved smile, wiped the big sweat on his forehead, and suddenly felt extremely tired.
He raised his right hand, which looked no different from that of an ordinary person on the surface, but if one were to cut open the skin and flesh, they would discover that the entire skeletal structure of his palm had turned a golden yellow.
The Jin Clan feeds on gold through their mouths, swallowing metal to gain strength and using the essence of metal to enhance their own power. However, Zhou Heng confines this function to his right hand, or more precisely, the phalanges of his right hand.
These phalanges can absorb metal!
Zhou Heng didn't have the idea of turning himself into a Jinyin tribe-like golden man, but the enhancement of his skeletal system was acceptable. As long as he obtained enough metal essence, all the bones in his body would become indestructible.
Give it a try!
Zhou Heng took out a long sword, which was an ordinary sharp blade that he often wore at his waist to show off.
With his right hand grasping the sword blade, Zhou Heng's mind stirred and countless golden particles immediately flowed from the sword body into his body. At this moment, he seemed to be communicating with the long sword, and could clearly see the direction of the flowing golden particles.
The speed wasn't very fast, these particles attached to his skeleton one by one, strengthening his body and slightly increasing his brute force. Compared to his current Earth-shattering realm level of spiritual power, this strength was negligible.
Zhou Heng stopped, his left index and middle fingers merged, instantly metalized, like a dagger, slashed across his right hand, and suddenly blood gushed out, revealing the golden cast-like finger bones inside.
He seemed to feel no pain, and once again grasped the hilt of the sword with his right hand. As he did so, the golden particles surged into his body at an explosive rate, and in just two or three breaths, the long sword had turned to dust.
The essence of its properties has been absorbed by Zhou Heng to strengthen his body.
Whether it's physical strengthening or power growth, it's all too little! But this can also be understood, this long sword is just ordinary iron, and the metal is too little, how can it bring too many benefits to Zhou Heng.
But what if it's swallowing an iron mine, a gold mine?
Zhou Heng's heart skipped a beat involuntarily.
Slashing open the palm was to test whether using the directly transformed right hand skeleton of the Devouring Gold Clan could speed up the absorption and refinement, and this has also been proven to be extremely effective, with a difference in speed of at least a hundredfold between the two!
He manipulated the power of the Azure Dragon, and in a flash of water-like radiance, his right hand healed rapidly. In an instant, it was as if he had just been born, with fine and dense skin, warm and smooth like jade. It didn't look effeminate at all, but rather strong and powerful, with long and slender fingers that were perfectly proportioned.
I've got some great news about breaking through to tell Dad and them!
Zhou Heng descended the nine flights of stairs.
Lan Fei had been waiting for Zhou Heng, this master who now controlled her life and freedom. She wanted to leave, even taking the Jiu Xuan Trial Tower treasure with her, but first she had to knock Zhou Heng out, then take advantage of the opportunity to launch a sneak attack or something.
Hum, a flash of light, Zhou Heng appeared at the staircase on the second floor, Lan Fei immediately smiled and went up to greet him. But she had only taken two steps when the smile on her face suddenly froze, revealing an unbelievable look of shock.
Zhou Heng had just broken through, and his breath was still unstable. The overflowing aura of the Splitting Heaven Realm was like a shocking wave.
Lan Fei was indeed not a martial arts genius, and she was able to reach the initial boundary only because she had taken many spiritual pills and elixirs, with the imperial family's endless resources supporting her, forcibly pushing her to the height of the initial boundary.
Have you never seen a pig run, and have you never eaten pork? Nan Gong Hong is just a crack in the ground, and she is naturally more familiar with the breath of the crack in the ground.
Splitting, splitting boundary?
The queen is stunned, what's going on now!
The boundary of martial arts is absolutely crushing, with each boundary differing by a large margin, unless it's an inhuman freak like Zhou Heng who can fight against the trend of a major boundary! Even so, even if Zhou Heng had just split into three heavy skies, he would find it difficult to kill a warrior who had split into one heavy sky.
It's a difference of a huge boundary, it's a distance between heaven and earth!
Zhou Heng has entered the realm of splitting the earth, which means that no matter what conspiracy Lan Fei plays, it's useless. In the face of absolute power, everything is illusory and futile.
Even if Zhou Heng sat still and let her chop him, even if she chopped until she was exhausted, Zhou Heng wouldn't be harmed in the slightest. This is the difference between great realms! The higher the realm, the greater the difference. If one reaches the Nascent Soul Realm, a single thought can make countless strong practitioners at the Divine Infant Realm disappear into nothingness!
Lan Fei originally still had her own plans, wanting to get rid of Zhou Heng and obtain the Jiuxuan Trial Tower, continuing to be the high-and-mighty Guifei, and even possibly using the Jiuxuan Trial Tower to successfully ascend to the position of Empress.
This was her conviction to hold on to, but now this conviction has collapsed with a loud crash!
In a world of absolute power, her small cleverness and tricks will be completely useless.
It's all over; she'll have to spend her whole life in this damned place!
At that moment, Lan Fei's thoughts were all in vain, and the only thing she could think of was to die. This absolutely quiet prison was even more terrifying than any torture!
How can this demon's cultivation progress so quickly? Is it even human?
Yes!
Lan Fei's eyes suddenly lit up, and Zhou Heng was able to break through the Earthly Realm so quickly, then he could also break through the Sky Opening Realm, Mountain River Realm, Spiritual Sea Realm, and even possibly enter the Fetal Realm!
On that day, won't Zhou Heng become one of the most powerful people on the entire continent? As a woman of such a strong man, or even just a humble female slave, wouldn't the power in her hands be greater than that of the small and insignificant Cold Cang Country's imperial concubine?
Not to mention Nan Gong Hong, even Nan Gong Chang Kong would have to kneel at her feet!
At this thought, Lan Fei's body suddenly felt hot, her legs were overflowing with honey, and she was actually passionate like fire.
Countdown to explosion, please keep your tickets, group 273857096, welcome to discuss. Thanks for Huang He's reward yesterday.
