Chapter 391: Chapter 360: Wu Liang Infinitely Close to Becoming a Venerable

At this point, the Magic Cube Dragon finally realized what Wu Liang truly intended to do!

This brat is actually forcing Zeus to use his full power!

He’s simply a madman!

Actually, from the moment Zeus held the lightning without striking immediately, Wu Liang understood—

This Great Venerable, who governs the sky, indeed has reservations!

Just like he mentioned earlier, Poseidon is restraining the First Emperor from noticing the situation here in time.

But it can only be kept under wraps if the commotion isn’t too great!

If Zeus were to create some celestial anomaly right away, with thunderbolts bombarding this entire area into flat ground, the First Emperor would truly be a worthless fool if he still couldn’t notice.

At that point, Zeus wouldn’t have a good way to conclude the matter.

After all, although he did ally with Poseidon, besides the First Emperor, there are also two other Venerables, "Da Yi" and "Yue Du," that are restraining the War of Chaos.

Once the First Emperor notices and brings it to light for judgment, if the three Venerables join forces to attack himself and Poseidon, it would be a great loss for Zeus.

Wu Liang concluded from the start that Zeus couldn’t and wouldn’t dare to use full force to destroy Dragon City.

In this situation, the other party’s attack couldn’t possibly exceed the normal Venerable strength by much, possibly not even reaching the Venerable level, maybe only the boundary between Lord and Venerable.

So, he chose to get up close and provoke.

The final result is—Wu Liang won the gamble!

Even though the previous strike seemed imposing, in reality, only those who endured it could perceive it as barely exceeding Lord’s strength.

For other Lords, this might be lethal enough.

But for Wu Liang, it’s not enough!

He himself is already at the peak Lord level, with many Lord-level Fierce Ghost Minions helping to share the damage, he can fully withstand that strike head-on!

Crack—

As soon as he finished speaking, the charred surface of Wu Liang’s body emitted a chilling sound.

Then, flakes resembling charred skin fell off his body, revealing the smooth, reddish-white skin underneath.

In just a few words of chatting, the minor injuries Wu Liang sustained had already fully recovered!

This scene left both the Magic Cube Dragon and Zeus dumbfounded.

If the [Pioneer] of the real world were here, he would undoubtedly pat their shoulders, unable to hold back from ridiculing what a monster Wu Liang truly is.

"Do you think you can hold on until I’m stopped by the First Emperor? As a mere Lord, aren’t you too arrogant?" Zeus grimaced and once again clenched a golden lightning bolt in his hand as he spoke.

In his view, no matter how strong a Lord-level being is, it isn’t enough to compel him to unleash an attack that would draw the First Emperor’s attention from afar.

Perhaps this brat is just holding on by a thread! He must have suffered a significant injury just now!

"Ha, you can certainly try..."

Boom—

Before Wu Liang could finish his provocative statement, a bolt of lightning so fast that even the Magic Cube Dragon, a Lord Fierce Ghost mastering Spatial Power, couldn’t react, struck and exploded on him.

All the Fierce Ghosts once again turned their eyes toward his small figure.

This time an even more terrifying event unfolded right before their eyes— 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Originally struck charred by the first lightning and appearing dead, Wu Liang now maintained a mostly normal physical condition, with only his raised left hand, which had blocked the lightning, becoming utterly charred.

Crack—

The same sound of peeling skin echoed, and within moments, Wu Liang’s arm had restored completely.

Even the dumbest Fierce Ghost could see that compared to the first instance, Wu Liang resisted the lightning with more ease this time; both the injury range and recovery speed showed remarkable contrast.

"Haha, still not boosting your power? Next time, if it’s still at this level, I won’t even be hurt at all," Wu Liang grinned, laughing maniacally.

In his eyes flashed a touch of madness and a fierce desire for battle.

In the real world, aside from the life-threatening duel against [Ghost Valley] during the Battle of the Fierce Ghosts in Chengyang City, Wu Liang had never experienced such a sensation again.

The [Pioneer] is an exceedingly cautious guy, never engaging in a death struggle with Wu Liang.

Every encounter with the [Pioneer] was not so much about power crushing but rather about the shift in strategies and advantages.

The two had never truly erupted into a final life-and-death battle, let alone a battle with overwhelming force surpassing Wu Liang’s.

This time, Wu Liang finally found again the thrill he had at the brink of life and death before.

This indulgently raging delight of combat seemingly had been etched into his very bones without him realizing it.

Perhaps, just as the [Pioneer] said before, the part of him once "human" had been dwindling.

"You really think I don’t dare to crush you!"

Upon hearing Wu Liang’s provocation and his combat performance, Zeus seemed to grit his teeth.

In an instant, the sky was overcast with dense clouds, thundering bursts.

Zeus emitted a powerful aura of despair, eyes gleaming with traces of electric light, he clenched the fist, lifting his right hand toward Wu Liang’s location, then unrelentingly hammering down!

Simultaneously, the clouds in the sky, entwined with lightning, formed a fist as big as a soccer field, crashing toward Wu Liang with lightning speed.

The Magic Cube Dragon watched from the side with a trembling heart.

This strike’s intensity was definitely much more powerful compared to the previous lightning.

If the former lightning could traverse the entire Dragon City, this punch could directly level Dragon City to dust, crushing it utterly.

Thud boom—

At the moment the fist hit Wu Liang’s figure, it erupted into a dense blood mist, as if his flesh were shattered by an unparalleled force, the muffled sound would make anyone’s heart tremble.

Then Wu Liang too plummeted from the sky, akin to a meteor, carving a fierce fiery arc through the air before crashing heavily into the ground.

After landing, he didn’t immediately stop, instead, he broke through the iron-hard cracked ground, etching out a trench hundreds of meters long, raising a sky-high cloud of dust before barely coming to a halt.

Once the dust settled, the Magic Cube Dragon saw, aghast, Wu Liang’s twisted form on the ground, almost a pulp of flesh and blood.

His limbs drooped as if bonelessly hanging at his sides, his chest cavity sunk almost to his back, and his head was devoid of facial features, with the skull not much of a sphere anymore, resembling instead a watermelon smashed with a stick.

At this moment, Zeus finally allowed a grin to form at the corner of his mouth, saying, "See? This is the consequence of defying me! You, the First Emperor’s dog...hand over what you hold, or I’ll repeat that attack on you and all of Dragon City!"

Dubbed as "the First Emperor’s dog," the Magic Cube Dragon was now grim-faced, unable to refute his taunt.

Truly, there was no way for themselves or Dragon City to withstand such a strike.

Has it all been in vain, the twenty days of bloody battle, and the final outcome still fruitless?

"Zeus...snatching a Lord’s possession through such vile means, aren’t you worried about exposure? What would the other Venerables think of you!" The Magic Cube Dragon could only grit his teeth, bringing up the other Venerables to rally more courage for himself.

But Zeus sneered disdainfully, "Other Venerables? When my fist surpasses theirs, I won’t worry about any exposure! That thing, I’m dead set on acquiring it!"

Just as the battle seemed to head toward a decided conclusion, with the Magic Cube Dragon even contemplating whether to hand over the Supernatural Object for self-preservation or, instead, use the sacrifice of himself and Dragon City to forever entomb it within the hidden space, a mutation emerged once more.

A voice weak to the extreme, yet dripping with maliсe as if a Demon crawled up from Hell, sent shivers down spines as it came from the ground—

"Zeus...I feel your anger...and also your fear!"

All the Ghosts, terrified, turned their gazes towards the mass of flesh and blood from before, only to find that the originally featureless head had opened a pair of eyes, blood red to the extreme.

This guy was not dead yet!

But now, in this miserable state, how could he speak such arrogant words?

Differing from all the Fierce Ghosts’ astonishment, Zeus wasn’t shocked that Wu Liang wasn’t dead.

Instead, he was astounded that he sensed a wisp of Venerable aura emanating from the mass of flesh!

No matter how feeble, even the weakest Venerable’s aura shouldn’t be so faint.

Yet undeniably, it’s indeed a vibe not meant for a Lord!

The mass, seemingly crushed beyond any resistance, was undergoing some unknown transformation!
