Chapter 286 - 275: Flesh Awakening, Destruction of the Forbidden Land

Chapter 286: Chapter 275: Flesh Awakening, Destruction of the Forbidden Land

Mo Yunzhen unleashed dozens of sword strikes in an instant, yet the fleshy body didn’t even budge.

"Watch this!"

The Cyan Ape Demon Venerable and the summoned Guardian Puppet also joined the battle at the same time.

Since Jiang Zuo had stolen the Companion Spirit Tree and Cocoa, the Cyan Ape Demon Venerable and Sang Yao naturally saw him as their primary target.

The Cyan Ape Demon Venerable brandished a giant wooden club and frantically bombarded the mountain of flesh.

Chunks of flesh were battered from the mountain, cascading down like a waterfall.

The Sang Family’s Guardian Puppet was even more terrifying.

It spat out a hazy, yellow mysterious light. The light struck the giant mountain of flesh, instantly blasting a huge hole straight through the mass.

Thankfully, it was Primordial Flesh and Blood in the Flesh Awakening state, possessing shockingly powerful regenerative abilities.

The wound had already healed by more than half the instant it was created.

If it weren’t for that, the Guardian Puppet could have destroyed the mountain of flesh with just two attacks.

Even the Cyan Ape Demon Venerable and Mo Yunzhen couldn’t help their expressions from turning grim when they witnessed the Guardian Puppet’s immense power.

If the Guardian Puppet had been attacking them, it was uncertain whether they could have escaped.

The two Venerables, one from the Demon Race and one from the human race, instinctively put some distance between themselves and the Guardian Puppet.

’The Flesh Awakening state really is monstrously powerful. It’s a shame my own Cultivation is still too low. This is as far as it can go.’

’The Puppet Body’s attacks are no threat to the Venerables or that puppet, and the Flesh Awakening state won’t last much longer, especially while taking such terrifying attacks.’

’Looks like I have to use my final gambit.’

With that thought, Jiang Zuo’s figure blurred. He dove into the tunnels bored by his fleshy tentacles, speeding underground toward Jie Qiu and her companion.

However, the fleshy tentacles only extended for about a thousand meters.

Jiang Zuo had no choice but to return to the surface.

After a moment, Sang Yao seemed to realize something and his eyes widened in alarm.

"Crap! The mountain of flesh isn’t the man himself!"

"He got away!"

Sang Yao exclaimed.

’He got away?’

Mo Yunzhen froze for a second.

He unleashed his Divine Sense, quickly locating Jiang Zuo several thousand meters away.

"Where do you think you’re going!"

Abandoning the mountain of flesh, Mo Yunzhen shot after Jiang Zuo with the force of a thunderclap.

"After him!"

Sang Yao led the members of the Sang Family and the Guardian Puppet in pursuit as well.

’So they found me after all.’

’But it’s too late!’

Jiang Zuo thought.

He could already see the location of the Array’s hub.

Jie Qiu and Xie Xiuyue were waiting under a large tree outside the Array’s hub.

Their spirits lifted when they saw Jiang Zuo approaching.

They had long since seen the battle raging in the distance.

They didn’t know the specifics of what was happening, but the sight of that mass of flesh had left them utterly horrified.

And they could tell that the terrifying mountain of flesh was connected to Jiang Zuo.

"Get ready to use the Teleportation Talisman."

Jiang Zuo yelled as his figure flashed into the trunk of the tree.

Gazing at the crystal on the Array hub, Jiang Zuo made a move with his hand.

Appearing in his hand was none other than Gungun, the little glutton.

When the ancient Tree Spirit, Cang, had asked if he had a solution, Jiang Zuo had pondered for a good while.

He had shaken his head in the end, but in truth, Jiang Zuo had two ways to destroy the crystal.

One was Gungun, the little glutton. The crystal was clearly a very high-grade energy source, something Gungun would surely love.

He had briefly taken Gungun out, and just as he’d expected, it had tried to pounce and devour it.

Jiang Zuo tossed Gungun, and it landed on the crystal.

Before Gungun transformed into its spherical form, it used to devour things by slowly absorbing them.

But in its current form, it would just open its massive maw and swallow things whole.

Once it finished digesting whatever it had swallowed, it would look for more.

The crystal before him was Indestructible, yet it was no match for Gungun’s gaping mouth.

In a single gulp, the entire crystal vanished from the Array without a trace.

Seeing this, Jiang Zuo abandoned his other plan.

He had already decided that if Gungun couldn’t handle it, he would forcibly summon the Mysterious Stele.

After his Divine Sense Transformation reached the Great Success stage, Jiang Zuo had gradually come to feel that he now possessed the power to forcibly summon the Mysterious Stele.

However, much like with Flesh Awakening, doing so would have unpredictable consequences.

As the crystal vanished, the surrounding Array runes flared with brilliant light. A massive amount of energy converged, attempting to temporarily take the missing crystal’s place.

Jiang Zuo was prepared. He thrust an Array Flag into the spot where the crystal had been.

If the crystal were still there, even a heavily damaged one, destroying this Array would have been nigh on impossible.

But with the crystal gone, things became much simpler.

Even though there was much about this Array from the Upper Realm that Jiang Zuo didn’t understand, he knew that as long as he tampered with this spot, the outcome would be completely different!

As the Array Flag was planted, the Array’s once-harmonious energy instantly descended into chaos.

The amount of energy that flowed through the Array to maintain it was simply staggering.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!...

In the blink of an eye, the Array the Sang Family had painstakingly established in this realm erupted with a continuous series of explosions.

In an instant, the massive Array covering the entire Forbidden Land lost its effect.

Elsewhere, a destroyed Array would be nothing more than that.

But the Beast God Tree Forbidden Land was different.

The Beast God Tree Forbidden Land was home to vast numbers of fifth-tier and sixth-tier Demon Beasts.

These Demon Beasts had never undergone the Thunder Tribulation.

They were only able to avoid the Thunder Tribulation because this Array from the Upper Realm shielded them—as beasts native to the Forbidden Land—from the notice of the Celestial Dao.

And in the instant the Array failed...

An untold number of fifth- and sixth-tier Demon Beasts were completely exposed to this realm’s Celestial Dao.

Faced with these High Tier Demon Beasts that existed outside the natural order, the Celestial Dao’s response was instantaneous.
