Chapter 518: Chapter 508: Eight Years of Distraction

Before Yi Zheng could finish thinking, Zhu Yan had already approached, swinging its massive fist, eighty meters tall, barreling down on Yi Zheng.

Yi Zheng had no way to retreat, with ferocity shining in his eyes, he roared, “I’m going all out!”

Yi Zheng threw a punch back with all his might.

Boom!

With a loud crash, Yi Zheng felt as if he were an ordinary person struck by a train, his body flying backward like a cannonball. On the blood-red land, he plowed a long trench.

Before Yi Zheng could get up, an even more terrifying Gang Wind struck him. Looking up, he saw Zhu Yan falling from the sky, its foot stomping down.

At the same time, another flash of spiritual light crossed Yi Zheng’s mind. It was the latest insight from Yi Zheng’s clone mastering the “Dragon Fear Heart Scripture.”

Yi Zheng absorbed it instantly, understood it, and then cursed, “Damn it, even a wisp of residual thought is this fierce?”

According to the latest enlightenment of the clone, there’s a passage in the “Dragon Fear Heart Scripture” that describes Bloodline Power, which is essentially the inheritance code of various powerful creatures.

Similar to human genes, genes might seem insignificant, but they contain many basic instinctual pieces of information as humans, such as having two eyes and a nose, or how two legs walk, breathing methods, appearance, personality, and even certain talents…

Bloodline Power is about passing on the strength of ancestors, awakening in descendants, ensuring that they could awaken innate divine abilities and powerful physiques through their Bloodline… And to accomplish this inheritance, these Bloodline Powers contain some residual thoughts of the ancestors. These thoughts aren’t complete, merely fragments of a thought, whose purpose is to crush everything to ensure the perfect transmission of their bloodline.

Right now, this Zhu Yan is the embodiment of those residual thoughts. It wants to kill Yi Zheng, occupy his body, and then use the Bloodline Power to transform his flesh, turning Yi Zheng into a brand-new Zhu Yan.

This information was first understood by another part of the soul, and because the soul is one, Yi Zheng had an instant epiphany, as if he had understood it innately.

Boom!

The giant foot came crashing down, and Yi Zheng was directly stamped into the ground. His whole body was in intense pain, feeling as if his soul would be crushed.

Seeing that one stomp had not killed Yi Zheng, Zhu Yan grew furiously enraged, raised its giant foot again, and stomped down once more.

“On behalf of the great Queen Mother of the West, fuck you!”

Yi Zheng shouted. In an instant, an azure glow lit up in his Sea of Consciousness. The light from the blood-red sun was suppressed by the azure glow, and a primordial and majestic mirror descended from the heavens. A furious pressure spread out, and Zhu Yan, which was rampaging just a moment ago, fell to its knees before the mirror. Then it found itself pressed to the ground, unable to move.

Following that, a streak of clear light flashed, and the giant head of Zhu Yan was beheaded. Its immense body began to shrink until finally, it turned into a blood-colored pellet the size of a palm.

Yi Zheng hurriedly rushed over, grabbed it, and threw it into his mouth!

“Ding! Congratulations on consuming the Spirit of Zhu Yan. You have gained the innate passive skills: Unrivaled Battle Intent and War Fearless. Click to view details.”

Yi Zheng quickly clicked.

War Fearless: A passive skill. You no longer fear any wars, and during wars, you can exert 120% of your strength.

Unrivaled Battle Intent: The stronger the opponent, the stronger the Battle Intent. The powerful Battle Intent will enhance your comprehension during combat, increasing the chance of breakthrough by 1%. In a dire situation, there’s a one-in-ten-thousand chance of breaking through the current Realm.

Yi Zheng looked at these two attributes, and his mouth spread into a grin!

Although Yi Zheng had seen large-scale war scenes, after understanding All Heavens and all realms, he was very clear that the billions of people fighting on Earth was just a minor squabble between ant colonies.

The true battle among the myriad realms is terrifying.

In a single thought, everything perishes!

Faced with those methods that wouldn’t even meet creatures face-to-face, directly destroying worlds, those terrifying destructive powers that could annihilate heaven and earth–it is not to say that everyone would fear them, but Yi Zheng knew he definitely would!

Now, with the attribute War Fearless, he could almost ensure that he would not crumble in dire situations and his Combat Power would not be affected.

Of course, the most important was Unrivaled Battle Intent. This skill was incredibly powerful; the greater the war, the more terrifying the scene, the stronger his Battle Intent became. The stronger the Battle Intent, the stronger the Comprehension became, and the likelihood of breakthrough in combat increased!

To be thrust into a desperate situation but still have a one-in-ten-thousand chance to break through directly!

Though this was a low probability, Yi Zheng had the Life-Stealing Copper Coin, which, when faced with a desperate situation and invoking Unrivaled Battle Intent, would ensure a 100% chance of increasing his strength when used.

Not to mention a turnaround when facing death, but this significantly increased the chances of survival.

This was simply the protagonist’s halo on display!

“Awesome!”

Yi Zheng grinned broadly and laughed.

At that moment, the tremors on the ground grew even more violent. Yi Zheng turned back to look and saw more giant beasts, ferocious beasts, divine beings, immortals and demons, and Innate Demon Gods rushing towards him.

Yi Zheng saw many familiar faces, such as Gonggong, Zhu Rong, Nine-Headed Snake, Ying Zhao, Kaiming Beast, Lu Wu, and others…

And charging at the forefront, Yi Zheng recognized that it was–Orochi Snake!

But at this moment, amid these old ferocious beings, the Orochi Snake seemed rather sneaky, running for its life with great urgency, its eight heads sweating profusely as if fearing being eaten by the terrifying creatures behind if it slowed down.

Seeing this figure getting closer, Yi Zheng grinned and shouted, “On behalf of the great Queen Mother of the West, fuck you! Kunlun Mirror, suppress!”

Just then, Yi Zheng’s mind received another insight: “The ‘Dragon Fear Heart Scripture’ requires the devouring of endless bloodlines to be unlocked. The devouring has levels. The worst is through external help, yielding the least benefits.”

With the help of the cultivation technique, the benefits are mediocre at its best.

killing with bare hands, however, allows for the perfect inheritance of the opponent’s entire ability!”

Yi Zheng was slightly stunned, then gritted his teeth and roared, “In the name of the glorious Queen Mother of the West, fuck your mother! Kunlun Mirror, crush it to death!”

Others would surely consider the matter of perfect inheritance.

But Yi Zheng knew very well that he himself was just a Rabbit, a piece of trash. Barely surviving an encounter with Zhu Yan, with even more terrifying beings than Zhu Yan out there, what could he use to perfectly inherit their power?

It was far more likely for him to be killed perfectly by someone else.

For others, bloodline was rare and therefore precious.

However, for Yi Zheng, who had a Bloodline Golden Core within him, bloodlines were abundant! Even if he ruined the Bloodline Golden Core, with the Queen Mother of the West by his side, would he ever worry about not having bloodlines to absorb?

Now, what he needed to do was to become stronger!

Feeling Yi Zheng’s intentions, the Kunlun Mirror immediately flew above his head, its azure radiance cascading down. Amidst the fluttering bamboo leaves, Yi Zheng was enveloped in a protective cocoon. Under such defense, no creature could harm him in the slightest, and then the clear radiance converged into his fists, the bamboo leaves transforming into a complete pair of gloves over Yi Zheng’s knuckles…

Yi Zheng had a sudden realization, “It wants me to do it myself, huh…”

But rather than getting angry, Yi Zheng laughed!

He had just entertained the thought that it would be nice if he could do it himself when the Kunlun Mirror granted his wish.

With the Kunlun Mirror above his head, he was now in an invincible position. As the clear radiance coalesced into his fists and the bamboo transformed into weapons, Yi Zheng felt his confidence surge.

He stomped the ground and soared into the sky, facing tens of thousands of terrifyingly persistent life remnants on his own, he laughed, “Come at me, you little brats!”

…

“Master, come up with something quick!”

Outside, Zi Zhuang watched as streaks of blood surged up Yi Zheng’s neck towards his head, straight into his brain, and shouted in worry.

Kong Ni was not idle either; his hands formed seals as he readied to take action.

Just then, a bright azure glow burst forth in Yi Zheng’s Sea of Consciousness, within which the faint silhouette of a Rabbit could be seen. While tens of thousands of bloodlines assaulted from below, the Rabbit within the radiance did not flee but instead counterattacked ferociously!

Kong Ni, however, did not focus on the Rabbit but instead stared intently at the thing above the Rabbit’s head emitting clear radiance. His eyelids twitched wildly and his mouth split into a crazed grin as he roared internally, “Who the hell is this guy to the Queen Mother of the West? She even lent him the Kunlun Mirror?!”

Recognizing the Kunlun Mirror, Kong Ni calmed down, waved his hand to Zi Zhuang, and said, “Relax, it’s fine now.”

Zi Zhuang was puzzled, but Kong Ni didn’t bother to explain and simply kept his gaze fixed on Yi Zheng’s Sea of Consciousness.

There, the little Rabbit was wreaking havoc!

The first to charge forward was the Orochi Snake. Yi Zheng had fled in terror from it once before, but upon meeting again, the feeling was akin to seeing an old adversary and eyes turned red with eagerness!

The Orochi Snake too was extremely excited upon seeing Yi Zheng.

Although it was merely a remnant will, its goal was to kill the host’s soul, take over the flesh, and continue its bloodline legacy. Thus, it wanted to be the first to slay Yi Zheng!

Seeing that Yi Zheng was just a Rabbit made the Orochi unleash an even more ferocious roar, as if success was just within reach.

The Orochi Snake lunged forward, all eight heads swooping in from every direction toward Yi Zheng, who without any hesitancy, met the oncoming tongues with a punch!

Boom!

The Orochi Snake’s head crumbled like tofu under the azure fist, and before the other seven heads could even react, Yi Zheng spun and delivered seven punches. Amid the thunderous roars, all eight heads of the Orochi Snake were shattered, eventually turning into a ball of blood light and flying out.

Yi Zheng opened his mouth and directly swallowed it.

“Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the Spirit of Orochi, granting you an innate passive skill, Eight Thoughts of Divinity. Click for details.”

Yi Zheng quickly glanced at the details

Eight Thoughts of Divinity: You can now use your mind in eight different ways, dividing your soul into eight parts, and controlling eight bodies simultaneously.

Upon hearing this, Yi Zheng’s eyes lit up. Although the passive talent was not very strong, combined with his Clone Technique, it was extremely useful! From now on, he was equivalent to having eight of himself. However, dividing the soul would weaken it, a significant drawback…

But there was no time to lament this as more remnant wills came to attack.

Zhu Rong’s fist came smashing down, flames filling the sky!

Gonggong stomped his foot, sending up water columns like dragons!

A Golden Winged Great Roc suddenly spread its wings at this moment, speed skyrocketing as golden winds slashed like countless sword lights!

A clay dragon burst forth from the ground, its body armored in stone like a mountain!

A Taoist waved his hand, and a huge mountain descended from the heavens!

A woman, her body ablaze, stomped on the ground, leaving a trail of scorched earth for miles…
