Chapter 981 - 363: Can You Hurry Up and Become a God? I’m a Bit Pressed for Time!

Why... did it admit it?

Not only did it not punish the blasphemer, but it also answered his question.

Even stopped us from attacking this blasphemer?

Why?

Enormous question marks seemed ready to leap out of their hollow eye sockets.

They hunched their bodies, throats emitting incomprehensible, chaotic, and aggrieved heh...heh...sounds.

As if silently questioning.

Fang Qingyu watched this scene, his expression becoming extremely bizarre.

This script is off.

According to normal reasoning, as an invader who directly addressed their king by name and made it clear he was here to cause trouble, this obviously highest-ranking King Corpse should at least show hostility if not order an immediate attack on me.

So what happened?

It not only acknowledged Chen Yuanshan as king but showed a vague yet unmistakable collaboration in its attitude towards me?

Almost as if it was happy to see me cause trouble for Chen Yuanshan?

Is this King Corpse an inside agent of Chen Yuanshan’s faction?

Fang Qingyu’s mind instantly flashed with this absurd yet seemingly the only explanation for the current situation.

But regardless of what this King Corpse is planning, since it pointed the way.

There’s no reason not to take a look.

Fang Qingyu hesitated no longer and walked towards the center of the Earth Palace pointed out by the King Corpse.

And just as he approached the center ground.

The King Corpse slowly lifted its hand covered in Dark Gold delicate bones, spreading its five fingers slightly, and gently pressed downwards over the empty area of the Earth Palace hall.

Buzz—

An invisible ripple spread out with the King Corpse’s palm at its center.

Immediately after, the enormous bluestone slab-covered ground of the Earth Palace’s center began to tremble violently without warning!

"Crack... rumble..."

The dull and colossal sound of rock grinding rose.

Under the astonished gaze of Fang Qingyu and the three corpses below.

The ground began to slide open neatly to both sides.

A glaring Dark Red light, along with an overwhelming suffocating stench of blood, suddenly burst forth from the depths of the opened ground fissure.

Instantly casting half of the Earth Palace hall into an eerie crimson.

Fang Qingyu’s gaze immediately looked toward the opened ground fissure.

Below the crack, there was a pool built of congealed blood plasma.

The viscous Dark Red liquid in the pool moved slowly like a living creature, undulating.

Exuding a nauseating sweet bloody aroma.

And in the very center of the Blood Pool.

A figure sat cross-legged, with most of their body immersed in the viscous Dark Red blood water.

It was Chen Yuanshan.

His eyes were tightly shut, and the previous madness on his face was gone.

Only a kind of nearly void calmness remained.

Beneath the naked upper body skin, the Dark Red blood light relentlessly roved like countless tiny Poisonous Snakes.

Sketching out bizarre and complex patterns.

His lower body was submerged in the blood water, and the waist and abdomen part battered by Fang Qingyu earlier had already recovered as before.

A far more inhuman aura than before was slowly reviving within him.

It seemed to sense the unveiling of the upper ground and the gaze suddenly cast down.

At the moment Fang Qingyu clearly saw his appearance...

In the center of the Blood Pool, Chen Yuanshan’s tightly closed eyes suddenly snapped open.

Boom!

Two beams of blood light devoid of any human emotions but only pure divine indifference, instantly pierced through the space above the Blood Pool, accurately pinning down on Fang Qingyu’s face.

Their eyes met.

The air seemed to freeze at that moment.

No words, no roars, not even a trace of extra emotional fluctuation.

Only the most pure and icy killing intent surged forward like a cold wave!

The next second—

"Boom!!!"

A deafening explosion thundered above the Blood Pool.

Sitting in the Blood Pool’s center, Chen Yuanshan’s figure abruptly disappeared.

In Fang Qingyu’s starry eyes, all he saw was a blood shadow moving faster than extreme speed tearing through the air, with a heart-palpating bloody wind and boundless killing intent, instantly appearing before him.

A fist covered with viscous Dark Red blood light, with blood vessels underneath like coiling dragons, swollen and writhing, shot fiercely towards Fang Qingyu’s face without any embellishment.

Speed! Power! Both far surpassed the previous state in the underground space.

Facing this sudden punch, Fang Qingyu’s eyes instantly sparkled brightly.

He did not retreat but advanced, launching a punch of his own.

Covered in Dark Red nearing black, flowing with numerous silver Star Point Tribulation Crystal right fist, striking afterwards yet arriving first.

"Bang—!!!"

Fists collided violently without any gimmicks.

Like two Meteors colliding in the void.

An eye-visible terrible shockwave, mixed with Dark Red blood light and brilliant star glow, exploded rapidly centered on the two men’s fists.

The raging airwaves instantly swept the entire hall.

Lifting the thick layer of bone ash on the ground like a white sandstorm.

Fang Qingyu stood his ground, his body covered in Star Crystal as stable as a mountain, not budging an inch.

While Chen Yuanshan’s terrifying punch bursting with the power of the Blood Pool, was firmly received by Fang Qingyu.

His fist covered in viscous blood glow.

Seized tightly by Fang Qingyu’s Star Crystal-covered fingers.

Fang Qingyu felt the wild strength imbued with divine aura coming from the opponent’s fist.

A flicker of realization swept through the depths of his starry eyes.

Just as expected!

At this moment, Chen Yuanshan’s title had indeed changed.

[Title: Corpse Driver·Blood Source Ancestor Embryo (Unfinished)]

Though still in an "unfinished" status.

The prefix of the title already bore the words honorable title.

Along with those inhumane, pure divine indifferent eyes.

All signified Chen Yuanshan was crossing that mortal and divine boundary.

He was at the final stage of transformation.

One foot already stepped into the Domain of God.

And he went through all the trouble to lure me to this deepest part of the Earth Palace, even at the cost of sacrificing a grandchild.
