Chapter 314 – Blood Sea Demon Mountain
“Sovereign Divine Elephant Flow . Swallow the Dragon!”
Lu Yuan’s six arms threw out punches, his already incredibly thick arms bulging abruptly once again.
A black ripple extruded and piled up in front of his body, finally presenting six black hole-like fist seals.
The fist prints burst out, transforming into six dark-colored tornado-like shockwaves that swept in all directions.
“Rumble–“
Flesh power compressed to the limit erupted in the air, forming a terrifying strangulation force that was like a dragon charging through the crowd.
It was also like six incomparably berserk black giant elephant trunks that lashed out recklessly.
The group of Elephant Men and Ancient Elephant God creatures surrounding Lu Yuan were shattered like straw, with flesh and blood flying around.
“Hiss…”
Lu Yuan took a deep breath.
The blood-colored orb pattern on his chest glowed, and a terrifying suction force emanated from every pore, sucking in the essence of flesh and blood from those broken limbs and arms at his feet, forming a huge blood-colored vortex around him.
Lu Yuan’s spiritual power was also not idle, the invisible force crushed one elephant heart after another, collecting all the black ghostly light that escaped from the heart.
The Patriarchal Blood Sphere in his body was growing stronger all the time, [Elephant God. Ming Wang Stance (Transcendent)] panel’s experience progress bar was also slowly but steadily rising.
“Ka-ching ka-ching ka-ching–“
Under the nourishment of the two energies, the dense cracks on Lu Yuan’s six arms rapidly closed and healed.
Performing Divine Elephant Stream martial arts in the Ming King stance, especially a move like Swallowing the Dragon, which demanded a high level of muscle power generation skill, was a great burden even for his current three-headed, six-armed body.
But the effect was also outstanding.
In just one move, a large area around Lu Yuan was cleared of all enemies.
“It feels like even if I were to utilize the Elephant God Dharma Phase to perform it, the power would be no more than that.”
But .
There were still a lot of enemies.
In just a few breaths of time, the cleared area around Lu Yuan was again filled with densely-packed Elephant Men and Ancient Elephant God creatures.
“Is this the entire Elephant Mystery Realm’s monsters being drawn to me?”
Lu Yuan was now nearly eleven meters tall and stood in a crowd of monsters rather like a crane.
It was precisely because of this that he was able to see the monsters in front and behind him, densely packed in all directions.
Under the black mist, it was as if they couldn’t even forget the edge of a glance, and the worst of them had the strength of an S-class.
Calling anyone to see this kind of scene, he was afraid that all of them would have the feeling of having their scalp numb.
But for Lu Yuan, what he saw .
Instead, it was a crop of leeks after leeks, countless amounts of experience value.
“Favorite lawn mowing game.”
Lu Yuan sighed softly as his six arms raised, striking out an intense black ripple that shattered the few Ancient Elephant God creatures around him that were close by like slapping tofu.
The blood-colored vortex around his body seemed to have gotten a little bigger, and the red orb pattern on his chest kept having a tendency to expand.
“Resources! All of them are the best sapient materials to nourish the growth of my strength!”
Lu Yuan fiercely stepped forward, like a ferocious elephant shaking the ground, charging all the way across, smashing and slapping away an unknown number of monsters in front of him along the way.
One unlucky four-armed elephant man was wrapped up in him and crashed into a huge stone pestle.
Lu Yuan did not bother to change direction, “Boom” directly into it.
“Boom!”
The hundreds of meters high stone pestle was directly hit by his ferocious and domineering brute force and exploded.
Lu Yuan drilled out from the other end of the collapsed stone pestle with the shattered remnants of the Elephant Man on top of him, and several black boulders rolled down in front of him.
He dug out the heart from the mutilated corpse in his hand and crushed it to absorb it while blowing, drumming up a fierce wind to blow away the dust on the boulders under his feet.
Several stone paintings on the stone caught his eye-
It was a scene of a three-headed, six-armed elephant man surrounded by countless four-armed elephant men and fierce beasts.
In the distance was a high black mountain with another three-headed, six-armed Elephant Man looking down coldly.
“Roar!”
An Ancient Elephant God Beast that was tens of meters tall, with a body like a tiger but a head like an elephant wrapped in a terrifying fishy wind, roared loudly like a thunderous cloud and lunged towards Lu Yuan.
In the split second when he was about to pounce in front of Lu Yuan’s body, he was pinched by his top two arms on the upper and lower jaws, and the last four arms grabbed the limbs, and he could not move.
Lu Yuan, however, was still staring at the stone painting at his feet, his eyes did not even look at the evil beast that was close at hand, his eyes glowed slightly, while his face showed a thoughtful expression.
“It looks like this is the necessary path to ascend the Demon Mountain and claim the title of king.
The old king needs to possess the blood of the new king to consolidate the throne.
The new king must overthrow the old king before he can be crowned.
Every generation of Elephant Man kings. It’s all the same.”
“Hoo…”
Lu Yuan sighed lightly and said to himself, “I see.”
“Tear–“
He exerted all six of his arms at the same time, and the muscles on the Ming King’s body rippled like mountains.
The Ancient Elephant God creature that was pinched in his hand, whose strength had already reached the SSS level, was directly torn into six pieces by him alive.
Foul-smelling blood and flesh froth rained down on Lu Yuan’s body.
It was then absorbed by his pores, lining the blood sphere pattern on his chest more and more demonic.
The strong smell of blood in the air that could not dissipate in time stimulated the surrounding Elephant God creatures to become more and more frenzied, as well as those Elephant People who had awakened from their slumber.
They were like a group of brazen guards, driven by a certain will, desperately trying to wear down Lu Yuan’s strength and will as much as possible.
Lu Yuan’s six arms were stretched out, and the head in the center was tilted up towards the sky with a calm expression.
The heads on the left and right sides, on the other hand, had their eyes lowered, their expressions grim as if they were ghosts.
He whispered, “Come. Offer your flesh and blood corpses to pave a path for me to ascend the Devil Mountain.”
“Boom!”
In the next second, Lu Yuan’s figure was engulfed by countless hideous figures and tsunami-like waves of evil energy .
“Snap-snap-snap.”
Lu Yuan walked in a wet swamp, wading through the mud under his feet.
His head hung low, like a ghost wandering lost in a barren land.
At a certain moment, he suddenly snapped out of it. Hurtingly, he realized that what he was stepping on under his feet was actually sticky and incomparable blood plasma.
Within the plasma, countless corpses were floating and drifting.
Then he looked up sharply and realized that his body was all blood-colored.
This is not a swamp, it is clearly a boundless sea of horrible blood.
Before he could react, a small black spire suddenly emerged from the sea of blood in front of him.
The spire quickly rose, and in just a few breaths of time, it transformed into an incomparably lofty and towering black mountain.
The black mountain stood quietly above the blood sea, as if suppressing the waves of the entire blood sea.
Between the corpses sinking and floating, the countless blood waters surrounding the black giant mountain steamed.
Within a short time, a huge, hideous and ghastly head was outlined on top of the huge mountain.
This head was like an elephant, but its mouth was full of octopus-like tentacles, and the one eye at its brow opened, transforming into a blood moon in the pitch-black sky.
Cold, evil and indifferent, it gazed at Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan was gazed at by that one-eye, his mind was stunned and his body subconsciously walked towards the distant black mountain as if he was uncontrollable.
As he trudged through the sea of blood, one ancient syllable after another repeatedly lingered in his ears.
“Kill. Kill everything. Kill.”
He forgot how he got here and who he was.
All that seemed to be left in his mind was the desire to kill, and the thought of running towards that black mountain.
Without realizing it, the sea of blood around him spread over his body.
He was unaware of it and only focused on moving forward.
Just as the sea of blood was about to completely submerge his body, suddenly .
A crow’s cry awakened him from the chaos.
“Swish-“
Lu Yuan suddenly woke up as he struggled to get up from the sea of blood and looked in the direction the crow’s call came from.
Then he saw, not far from the sea of blood, a black river of the underworld quietly flowing by.
The flowers on the other side of the river gently swayed, and a bright full moon hung high above the river.
Under the moon, a black-skirted woman with a crow perched on her shoulder was quietly looking at him.
In the instant he looked at the woman, the sea of blood, the Black Mountain, the River Styx, and all other visions in front of him were all far away from him.
“Hoo-“
Lu Yuan breathed heavily.
It was as if he had awakened from a big dream, or as if a drowning person had steeply broken out of the water.
“Tear–“
With the unconscious movement of his hands, a large cloud of blood mist spread out from in front of his eyes, and something wailed and hissed as it collapsed.
Lu Yuan struggled to open his eyes.
All the memories returned as quickly as if they were flowing water.
When he looked in front of him again, he saw a battlefield that looked like a Shura hell.
There were corpses all over the place, Evil God creatures’ and Elephant Man’s were densely packed.
Almost the entire black plain visible to his naked eye was covered.
He could no longer see even a single standing opponent in front of him, and those Elephant Men and Evil God Beasts that were attracted by the curse had already been decimated by him.
Hundreds? Thousands?
Lu Yuan didn’t know how many of these corpses totaled.
“When did I fall into that Blood Sea Demon Mountain Dreamland?”
“Why do dreams flash up whenever we fight?”
Lu Yuan’s eyes sank a little.
Recalling the dreams, although he didn’t know what kind of consequences would happen if he was completely submerged by the sea of blood, he guessed that it wouldn’t be anything good.
At the last moment, it seemed that it was the will of the Crow God that pulled him up and woke him up in time.
“Killing too much to the point of being infiltrated by the Elephant God’s will that remains in this secret realm, causing a situation similar to going off the deep end?”
Lu Yuan pondered, again feeling that things were not that simple.
He looked around, over and over again at those bloody corpses on the ground, while the scene of the boundless sea of blood he had seen in his dream continued to flash in his mind.
At a certain moment, Lu Yuan suddenly felt that-
This scene right now was strikingly similar to the blood sacrifice rituals described in certain evil god religions, and he was the performer of the rituals.
“The Black Soil of Eternal Disintegration paints blood all over every stone and gravel of the Demon Mountain…”
Lu Yuan repeatedly mumbled in his heart the aphorism he had gotten when he first came into contact with the Elephant God Cult, and then looked at himself now.
His Ming King’s body had skyrocketed to a height of nearly fifteen meters at some point.
The flesh and blood of those Ancient Elephant God creatures that had died in his hands seemed to have soaked his flesh and skin.
Between the textures of the skin and flesh, a deep red line of blood was born.
His current appearance was already very different from an ordinary Elephant Man, as if he was a freak in the Elephant Man race?
“No!”
Lu Yuan waved his arms, the color of blood floating between his majestic and dark body, just like a black demonic mountain standing silent and still in the midst of a tumbling sea of blood.
“Perhaps this is the true body of the Ming King!”
Lu Yuan’s eyes narrowed as information about the Elephant God Cult flowed rapidly in his mind.
He felt that he might have misunderstood the Elephant God Power from the very beginning.
He thought that the Elephant God’s power represented the boundless greatness inherited to the Demon Mountain, but now it seemed that .
It might be more than that.
“The Devil Mountain stands in the middle of the boundless sea of blood .”
“Beneath the pure physical strength lies the most primal . Killing instinct.”
Lu Yuan quietly raised his head, his gaze projecting through the heavy black fog to the depths of the black plains.
The pillar of scarlet light that had originally risen there had disappeared, but Lu Yuan could still sense the scarlet aura.
And it was even clearer than before.
That aura, it was similar to the demonic mountain and sea of blood that he had seen in his dream. How similar it was.
