CHAPTER 499: CHAPTER 481 RIGHT PALM

"My ethereal form cannot stray too far from your body, you must come closer."

You Ji said.

Come closer?

Wang Xu hesitated slightly, then gritted his teeth and took a step forward.

A terrifying life suppression instantly assaulted him, causing fear to well up in Wang Xu’s heart, his face turning deathly pale.

At this moment, Wang Xu seemed like an unarmed mortal, facing a pack of hundreds of wolves, with hungry, scarlet eyes staring at him, ready to tear him apart at any moment.

This type of fear is something ordinary people cannot withstand for long, nearly breaking them.

But Wang Xu’s mind had been tempered through countless trials, becoming extraordinarily resilient, able to forcibly withstand this life suppression.

"Hurry back!"

Beads of sweat as large as beans seeped from Wang Xu’s forehead.

You Ji’s red-robed figure quickly entered the cave mouth.

Soon, he arrived at the location of the Heaven-Shocking Secret Collection.

"This is the right wrist."

From its appearance, You Ji determined that this black hand was the right hand of an ancient being, "Although unable to feel the life suppression, I can conclude that the original owner of this hand must have been someone of the Saint Venerable Realm."

An ancient person of the Saint Venerable Realm!

The Heaven-Shocking Secret Collection obtained by the Cyan-robed Divine Master was merely the flesh of an ancient Billion Era Celestial God, whose hardness even he could not shake, consuming great amounts of energy.

Now You Ji had encountered the Heaven-Shocking Secret Collection of an ancient Saint Venerable!

This alone was enough to arouse the greed of someone in the Heaven-Reaching Ancestor Realm.

"Devour it!"

You Ji hesitated no longer, and the red and white flames fell upon the Heaven-Shocking Secret Collection, immediately causing the red and white flames to soar skyward, quickly filling the entire underground space with fire that surged out of the cave mouth.

"Golden flames?"

Outside, Wang Xu was struggling to withstand the life suppression, suddenly seeing golden flames pouring out of the cave mouth.

The golden flames didn’t continue to spread, instead rolling over at the cave entrance like a fiery tongue.

A moment later.

"The life suppression has weakened."

The fear in Wang Xu’s heart diminished a little, he realized the life suppression was weakening.

Looking again at the golden fiery tongue, it seemed ready to shoot out at any moment, continually burning.

"Wang Xu, absorb the golden flames!"

You Ji’s voice suddenly echoed in Wang Xu’s mind.

Without a doubt, Wang Xu, with the life suppression gradually weakening, no longer feared it and approached the cave entrance, reaching out to touch the golden flames.

Whoosh!

The moment the golden flames touched Wang Xu’s fingertip, they seemed to become animated, madly rushing into Wang Xu’s body!

Boom!!

Wang Xu’s body shook, a booming sound exploded in his head, as if his entire mind had blown open.

"Constant Force... This is Constant Force! A massive amount of Constant Force!"

Wang Xu’s face lit up with joy.

He already sensed the surging power within him, it was the Constant Force he had longed for.

Immediately, Wang Xu clasped his hands together and entered the cultivation state of the "Emperor’s Extreme Divine Suppression Record".

Such a vast amount of Constant Force could not be wasted, it was perfect for cultivating the "Emperor’s Extreme Divine Suppression Record".

The Constant Force continuously poured into Wang Xu’s body, also constantly being consumed within him.

Wang Xu directly aimed for the Third Realm.

A moment later.

Wang Xu suddenly opened his eyes.

"The Third Realm, achieved!"

The realm changes of the "Emperor’s Extreme Divine Suppression Record" weren’t obvious, but Wang Xu could feel his body undergoing a tremendous change, like a soft mortal flesh transforming into steel in an instant.

Immense power circulated within him, Wang Xu tried clenching his fist, feeling this terrifying physical strength and power as if born anew.

At this moment, Wang Xu suddenly recalled the great battle at the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion of Ancient Luo Cosmos.

In the battle, Wang Xu became a core member, maneuvering the Heaven-Reaching Puppet.

Back then, the great array of the Heaven-Reaching Puppet elevated his power to the level of an Eternal Generations Celestial God.

Now Wang Xu had truly become an Eternal Generations Celestial God, his physical strength, power, speed, and the thickness of his primordial power seemed to far exceed that of the Heaven-Reaching Puppet at the time.

"There’s still a large influx of Constant Force."

The influx of Constant Force didn’t stop, and Wang Xu, now less restrained, planned to use it to push the "Emperor’s Extreme Divine Suppression Record" to the Fourth Realm in one go.

In the Fourth Realm, the body could compare to a Billion Era Celestial God!

The realm of an Initial Celestial God yet possessing the body of a Billion Era Celestial God, such a large span, likely no one would dare believe it in the chaos!

Yet such a situation was about to occur with Wang Xu!

The Constant Force brought about by devouring the Heaven-Shocking Secret Collection could allow Wang Xu to successfully advance the "Emperor’s Extreme Divine Suppression Record" to the Fourth Realm.

"Wang Xu, stop cultivating to the Fourth Realm and condense all the Constant Force in your right hand!"

Suddenly, You Ji spoke.

Condense the Constant Force in my right hand?

Wang Xu felt puzzled.

But since You Ji had already spoken, Wang Xu naturally chose to do as directed.

Stopped cultivating "Emperor’s Extreme Divine Suppression Record," and instead channeled all the constant force into his right hand.

"The right hand is starting to get hot."

The space in the right hand was extremely limited, unable to store such a huge amount of constant force, Wang Xu’s right hand suddenly turned red and hot like a branding iron.

But soon, something that surprised Wang Xu appeared.

The red glow faded from the right hand, and the entire palm to the wrist turned black, like charred coal.

This scene was exactly the same as the Heaven-Shocking Secret Collection that Wang Xu had seen in the box before.

"Could it be that..."

Wang Xu’s heartbeat accelerated as if he had already thought of something.

As the constant force continued to converge toward the right hand, the palm did not explode as he thought it would due to the immense force; instead, it became increasingly charred, even emitting a wisp of white smoke.

At this moment, the golden flame seemed much weaker, having retracted into the entrance of the cave.

The life suppression also lowered to a level that Wang Xu could easily endure. Seeing the golden flame gradually weaken, Wang Xu moved his body and ventured into the golden flame, heading toward where You Ji was.

"So it was true."

You Ji smiled upon seeing Wang Xu’s right hand.

"You intend to transfer the Heaven-Shocking Secret Collection into my palm, don’t you?"

Wang Xu voiced his speculation.

"You guessed right, and I just discovered this myself. This constant force is different from the force in other people’s bodies; it contains the bloodline force of ancient people... no, more precisely, it should be life genes."

You Ji’s eyes gleamed, "Life genes are unique, and with the guidance of life genes, these special constant forces will reassemble in their original form in your hand, and simultaneously, your palm will become a true ancient physique!"

Wang Xu’s pupils suddenly shrank.

A true ancient physique!

He raised his charred right hand, gently clenched it, and suddenly, the void shattered with a tear.

With a wave of the right hand, the storm of time and space that swept out collapsed and dissipated under the stirring of the right hand.

"I actually possess an ancient physique?"

Wang Xu was incredulous.

"But don’t be too happy too soon. Although your right hand is completely fused with this Heaven-Shocking Secret Collection, if you truly use it, you will still need to pay a price you cannot afford. Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, never use it!"

Wang Xu had already felt the terrifying consumption of the Heaven-Shocking Secret Collection on the body of the Divine Master in Blue.

Even the Divine Master in Blue could only barely launch a few attacks before becoming weak and powerless. If it were him, even one strike might cost him his life.

Fortunately, it’s a great killing weapon, a true trump card. When it comes to a desperate situation, Wang Xu’s right hand will become the enemy’s terrifying nightmare!

You Ji continued to warn, "Not only that, but you also have to hide the existence of this hand. You must not let other superpowerful beings discover it, or having an ancient physique will no longer be a blessing for you, but a disastrous calamity!"

Wang Xu understood this very well.

The value of the Heaven-Shocking Secret Collection was such that even someone from the Heaven-Reaching Ancestor Realm would covet it. Imagine what a disastrous outcome it would be if a superpowerful being discovered that an Initial Celestial God had a Heaven-Shocking Secret Collection.

The key is, Wang Xu is now completely fused with the Heaven-Shocking Secret Collection.

That means: only by killing Wang Xu can the Heaven-Shocking Secret Collection be obtained!

"I understand."

With a flip of his hand, Wang Xu took out a completely black helmet from the Sumeru Storage Ring.

It was a trophy collected by Wang Xu after slaughtering millions of Celestial Gods, a rare divine treasure capable of transforming into any form of defensive armor.

Wang Xu dripped blood on it, and with a thought, the black helmet suddenly dissolved into a puddle of black water, completely covering Wang Xu’s charred right hand.

To avoid drawing attention, Wang Xu specifically transformed the glove into the color of an ordinary hand, making his right hand look exactly like it used to.

...

Two hours later.

"Refinement complete."

The massive box was empty, and this right hand, once belonging to an ancient person, had now entirely become a part of Wang Xu’s body.

Having fused with the Heaven-Shocking Secret Collection, Wang Xu felt his right hand filled with power, even possessing a sense of heaviness.

"Try your right hand."

You Ji said.

Wang Xu tried to activate his primordial power, but he quickly showed a look of panic and hurriedly retracted all his primordial power.

"Just in that moment, nearly half of my primordial power was absorbed by it."

Wang Xu said with lingering fear.

He had tried hard to control this right hand, but the consumption intensity of the ancient person’s physique still caught him off guard. Had he hesitated for another instant, Wang Xu’s entire primordial power might have been completely drained by this right hand.

"That’s right, you have fused with this Heaven-Shocking Secret Collection, and the physical strength of your right hand has greatly enhanced, but you can’t use it to perform any secret techniques."

You Ji advised.

Can’t use secret techniques with the right hand?

Wang Xu pondered secretly.

The Heaven-Shocking Secret Collection had already been assimilated by Wang Xu, so there was no longer a need to stay here; Wang Xu immediately left for the Divine City.

Just one day and one night after Wang Xu left.

From the swamp at the entrance of the cave emerged an Illusory Mist Shadow Flood Dragon, but unlike the ordinary Illusory Mist Shadow Flood Dragons, it wielded a divine treasure and was clad in armor, standing on two feet, emanating the primordial power aura unmistakably belonging to a Billion Era Celestial God!

"Ah——"

A piercing sound emitted from its mouth, causing the earth to crack, trees to turn to dust, and the entire mountain to tremble continuously, with faint, small cracks appearing on the thin array barrier.

The Illusory Mist Blood Cold Milk, which it had painstakingly cultivated for so long, had disappeared!

The Illusory Mist Shadow Flood Dragon of the Billion Era Celestial God was burning with rage, and it charged outward, its eyes flashing with killing intent.

At this moment, the entire Illusory Mist Swamp was no longer peaceful. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for a recommendation vote, a monthly vote on Qidian (qidian.com), your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
