Chapter 285: Chapter 275: Flesh Awakening, Destruction of the Forbidden Land

In the deep pit, Jiang Zuo was dripping with blood.

The moment the Puppet Body appeared before him, Jiang Zuo slapped a Breath Rune Technique onto himself.

However, he wasn’t doing this to replicate the maneuver he had used at the Zhu Family’s estate.

There were too many people on the surface, all of them Cultivators at the Dao Fruit or Venerable level.

Having the Puppet Body pose as him so his real self could escape was simply impossible.

He knew Gu Wei had already found him up above.

The Puppet Body took a great leap upward.

"Flesh Awakening!"

As it was about to leap out of the deep pit, the Puppet Body fully unleashed the power of its Primordial Flesh and Blood.

Jiang Zuo would never dare to let his own body undergo Flesh Awakening. He had always felt strongly that doing so would force him to pay an immense price.

But he had no such reservations when it came to the Puppet Body.

If it was destroyed, he could just forge a new one.

The key materials were the Dao Talisman and his Primordial Flesh and Blood. The Dao Talisman was indestructible, and the Primordial Flesh and Blood in his body could continuously regenerate.

BOOM!

The instant the Puppet Body underwent Flesh Awakening, its physical form violently burst apart.

But it didn’t shatter into pieces.

Instead, an infinite amount of flesh grew wildly from inside the Puppet Body.

This burgeoning flesh broke through the confines of its physical form. Like a volcanic eruption, endless flesh surged madly outward.

This newborn flesh was purplish-black, its surface coated in a faint layer of Tribulation Thunder Power.

"What is this thing?"

Gu Wei had just reached the edge of the deep pit, where he witnessed the Puppet Body’s bizarre transformation firsthand.

The burgeoning flesh radiated an indescribable pressure in all directions.

Gu Wei felt an unprecedented sense of crisis. Horrified, he scrambled to retreat.

But he was too close.

In its Flesh Awakening state, a tendril of flesh suddenly shot out from the surging Primordial Flesh and Blood and grabbed Gu Wei.

"Break!"

Gu Wei roared, and a flash of light erupted.

The tendril gripping him was instantly severed.

But to his horror, Gu Wei discovered that the severed piece of the tendril still clinging to him seemed to have a life of its own, refusing to let go.

And in that brief moment of hesitation, the severed flesh tendril reconnected itself.

"Divine Techni—"

Gu Wei frantically tried to use his Dao Fruit Divine Techniques to save his life, but before he could even shout the words, a dozen more flesh tendrils shot out, entangled him, and dragged him into the surging mass of flesh.

"What kind of technique is this?"

Not far away, Bai Ling watched with her own eyes as Gu Wei was engulfed, her heart pounding in terror.

If she had been any faster, she would have suffered the same fate as Gu Wei.

No! Bai Ling’s figure suddenly blurred into motion.

She had already sensed the danger.

If it had been Jiang Zuo’s real body undergoing Flesh Awakening, Bai Ling might have had a chance to escape.

That was because if Jiang Zuo’s real body were to undergo Flesh Awakening, he probably wouldn’t be able to completely control the resulting flesh.

But with the Puppet Body undergoing Flesh Awakening, Jiang Zuo was able to control the Dao Talisman through the projection of the Mysterious Stele, thereby controlling the flesh.

Bai Ling wanted to flee, but in reality, countless tendrils of flesh had already crept toward her under the ground she stood on.

These flesh tendrils burst from the earth, grabbing for Bai Ling from every direction.

In an instant, every single one of Bai Ling’s escape routes was cut off.

"Save me!"

Bai Ling frantically shouted to the Cyan Ape Demon Venerable.

If she were in the outside world, she could have escaped on her own with a Teleportation Talisman.

But in the Beast God Tree Forbidden Land, her only hope was that the Cyan Ape Demon Venerable could save her.

ROAR!

The Cyan Ape Demon Venerable’s attention was already captured by the giant Earth Puppet Sang Yao had summoned. Hearing Bai Ling’s cry for help, it could only spit a jet of Demon Fire from a distance.

Any Cultivator who was not a Venerable would be burned to a crisp by this Demon Fire.

HUMMM!

The dozens of flesh tendrils winding toward Bai Ling were instantly enveloped in Demon Fire.

The flesh tendrils all burst into flame.

However, they were not burned to a crisp.

Even as they burned, they continued to grow frantically.

"No!"

Bai Ling was deeply unwilling to accept this fate. She hadn’t accomplished a single one of her goals for coming to the Lower Realm. ’How can I die so easily here?’

But at this moment, no one could save her.

Dozens of flaming tendrils suddenly coiled tightly around Bai Ling.

Just like Gu Wei, Bai Ling was also turned into a ball of flesh.

In the blink of an eye, the Puppet Body had devoured Gu Wei and Bai Ling, two arrivals from the Upper Realm, and transformed into a monstrous mountain of flesh dozens of meters tall.

At the same time, the Guardian Puppet summoned by Sang Yao finally stood up completely from underground.

The Guardian Puppet was also an astonishing fifty to sixty meters tall!

However, the mountain of flesh that the Puppet Body had become paid no heed to the equally enormous Guardian Puppet.

Instead, its countless tendrils swept toward Mo Yunzhen!

Jiang Zuo held a grudge; an organization like Celestial Eye Black Pupil was better off destroyed as soon as possible.

Mo Yunzhen didn’t dare to be careless. If he were truly ensnared by this monstrous mountain of flesh, he feared his only choice would be to abandon his physical body and flee.

With a single thought, Mo Yunzhen activated his Dao Fruit ability, cladding himself in a suit of Black Scale Armor.

The black blade in his hand swept through the countless tendrils.

The very flesh tendrils that the Cyan Ape Demon Venerable’s Demon Fire had been unable to stop completely lost their vitality under his blade, instantly turning to ash that scattered to the ground.

Mo Yunzhen seized the opportunity, pressing his attack.

Black sword light flashed repeatedly, striking the flesh-mountain puppet as if trying to tear open the sky.

But the flesh-mountain puppet was wreathed in streams of Tribulation Thunder Power.

As Mo Yunzhen’s sword light fell, its power was greatly diminished.

Wherever the sword light struck, large amounts of flesh did indeed wither and die.

But the next moment, even more flesh would erupt wildly to replace it.
