Logging 10,000 Years into the Future-Chapter 478
Chapter 478
“Not enough, is it?” Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes at the mass of flesh that kept writhing.
He could sense a faint divine essence emanating from the Extreme Martial Sage’s flesh. It was similar to his Immortal Cells, but far weaker. It was the essence that came from the Extreme Martial Sage’s century-long role as a “god among men,” giving him a form of “flesh rebirth.”
It had to be said, a Level 9 Martial Sage, having touched upon the mysteries of the universe, was truly fascinating.
“Then …” Lu Sheng watched as the face of the Extreme Martial Sage reformed, his expression twisted with glee, and spoke softly, “As you wish, I’ll raise my power a bit more.”
The Extreme Martial Sage’s laughter stopped abruptly, his face filled with shock and disbelief as he stared at Lu Sheng. Lu Sheng extended his right index finger and gently tapped his forehead. An invisible ripple spread out. Within his body, all twenty-two of his brilliantly radiant Immortal Cells …
Fwoosh—
Each of those Immortal Cells ignited with a golden flame. A divine flame. An immortal flame. As the flames ignited, the already dazzling Stellar Meridian Diagram within Lu Sheng’s body was suddenly infused with an unimaginably powerful energy. The diagram even began to manifest on the surface of Lu Sheng’s skin.
On his bare upper body, intricate golden lines emerged, forming a pattern as complex and mysterious as the most elaborate tattoo. The golden markings were especially dense around his forehead, glowing brightly. At that moment, Lu Sheng seemed indistinguishable from a divine being out of myth.
“I am the true god.” Lu Sheng spoke calmly, then threw a seemingly casual punch towards the Extreme Martial Sage. Around his fist, the golden divine flame swirled. As this punch was released, the void collapsed, and vast dark shadows spread through the air. The true potential of the Immortal Cells … was fully unleashed in the Martial God state.
Fear finally appeared in the eyes of the Extreme Martial Sage. His martial intuition screamed at him. This punch from Lu Sheng … would truly kill him!
Death!
It was an experience he hadn’t felt in many years. The Extreme Martial Sage’s mind reeled with disbelief. By the time he regained his senses, his eyes were filled with the sight of a fist, wreathed in golden flames. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
“Then let’s die together!” Madness filled the gaze of the Extreme Martial Sage. He opened his mouth and spat out a small, dark-colored metal shard, etched with unknown symbols and designs. Then, using the arm he had just reconstructed … he crushed it with all his might!
***
In the instant the Extreme Martial Sage spat out that piece of metal and crushed it.
Lu Sheng felt a sharp pain between his eyebrows, as if pierced by a sword. An unprecedented warning! More intense than the last time, when even his martial will had cracked … a hundredfold more!
Lu Sheng had considered that the Extreme Martial Sage might have a trump card. He had anticipated the “Rebirth of Flesh and Blood” from before. But this time, it was beyond his expectations. By the time Lu Sheng wanted to stop it, it was already too late.
Watching as the metal plate shattered before his eyes, sending out strange waves … A sense of regret, helplessness, and resignation welled up in Lu Sheng’s heart. But he quickly regained his composure. Since it was already a foregone conclusion, he would face it.
However … cold killing intent erupted in Lu Sheng’s eyes. The Extreme Martial Sage still had to die! The fifth realm punch, wrapped in divine flame, struck the Extreme Martial Sage’s forehead without any flourish, producing a “bang.”
No surprises occurred. The Extreme Martial Sage’s head exploded with a and the newly reconstructed body melted like wax. Immediately afterward, a golden humanoid figure, like shattered porcelain, stumbled out of the melting flesh. Wisps of divine fire still entwined the humanoid figure, burning it continuously.
Lu Sheng’s eyes flashed; he was ready to strike again. At this moment, a strange tremor suddenly emanated from the void beside him. Lu Sheng turned his head sharply. He saw light and shadow intertwining, and a phantom figure emerged.
The figure extended a finger, aiming straight at him. Lu Sheng raised his fist, but that finger had already gently pressed against his chest.
Bang!
Lu Sheng’s chest exploded. His heart shattered. Only a single blazing immortal cell remained, lonely and intact.
Crack … crack—
The power of that finger continued unabated, the domineering force surging into Lu Sheng’s mind. The Amethyst humanoid, hailed as the most indestructible martial thought form of the next ten thousand years, also showed a deep finger mark on its chest. Cracks spread outward from the finger mark, and it even showed signs of collapse.
Lu Sheng was struck directly by an indescribable, terrifying force. His body plummeted towards the earth like a meteor. Blood flowed from all his orifices, and his vision was drenched in red. He saw the shattered porcelain-like Martial Soul of the Extreme Martial Sage vanish into the sky as a stream of light. And that phantom figure that had injured him with a mere finger.
The figure’s features were indistinguishable, its stature towering and majestic, as if it came from the cosmic void. The clothes it wore were strange, markedly different from the style of this world.
Lu Sheng wanted to see more. But the phantom figure had already rapidly faded away, disappearing. As if it had never existed.
Then Lu Sheng crashed heavily into the sea, the terrifying force still showing no signs of letting up. He kept sinking deeper and deeper into the sea …
One thousand meters …
Two thousand meters …
Five thousand meters …
He sank into the dark, sunless ocean abyss.
A school of abyssal beasts swam by, trying to attack, but as they approached, they were smashed into blood mist by the terrifying impact. Lu Sheng did not know when this would end.
His Stellar Immortal Physique and twenty-two immortal cells inside him tried to repair his injuries. But both sources of power were soon consumed by the terrifying force of that finger. It was as if a raging fire was spreading across Lu Sheng’s body, with his own power as the water. Now, it was clear that there was not enough water. Not enough to extinguish the fire.
“Need to replenish energy …” Lu Sheng strained his aching brain, barely locating a source of water. “At a crucial moment like this, there’s no time to worry about the consequences …”
With difficulty, Lu Sheng raised his hand and pulled a small bottle from his pocket. He didn’t even bother opening it before swallowing it whole. It was impressive he could still do this despite his heart being blown apart.
Feeling the power of the “Sage’s Fall” surging within. Lu Sheng used the last bit of control he had in his Martial God state to command the twenty-two divine cells to absorb this energy. Whether the immortal cells could handle it or what consequences would follow … He did not know.
All he knew was that when a fire raged, even sewage was water, and it could still put out flames. At that moment, light completely disappeared from Lu Sheng’s sight, and his vision began to blur. Lu Sheng wanted to pull out his phone from his pocket to send a message to someone dear. But his body could not muster even a trace of strength.
“Forget it, anyway, I won’t die … probably …” Lu Sheng eventually gave up on the thought, slowly closing his eyes.
The last thought spinning in his head was—Fuck … Why does this world even have power beyond Level 9 … I was careless …
…
Ninghai. On the surface of the sea. Everyone from the military, who had just witnessed the series of abrupt changes, stood stunned. A moment ago, they were still reveling in Lu Sheng’s defiant display, his repeated punches driving the Extreme Martial Sage to the brink of death.
Their military had gained a “new god.” And one that existed beyond the Level 9! An unprecedented god! The military’s future would be incomparably bright …
But in the very next moment … an unexpected twist occurred.
