Chapter 278: Intense Battle!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Eye of Blood and Flesh was rare.
Simplified version of the Eye of Flesh and Blood was even rarer.
But, when you get down to it, it’s quite simple – it’s just a complete disregard for the rules of the Silver patterns with one’s physical body.
The terror of the Eye of Blood and Flesh was that those who possess it inevitably have unimaginable physical strength. This level of physical power, combined with the Eye of Blood and Flesh, formed an absolute killing weapon in the Ancient Realm!
Any owner of the Eye of Flesh and Blood was basically a quasi-divine level being.
But the simplified version of the Eye of Blood and Flesh… well, it’s not that straightforward.
It had to be known that Cockroach Pavilion and Cockroach Green were also from the Ancient Realm, and they had also fought their way up step by step from the bottom.
No silver pattern power of the natural order? Fine, no problem. In any case, they each had one pattern and two patterns, and their power of the silver patterns was not strong.
“You ignored the power of our silver patterns, but you can’t ignore the physical strength we painstakingly trained, the Source power skills we painstakingly cultivated, and the combat techniques we painstakingly honed, can you?
“And these are not necessarily inferior to an ugly brat like you!
“Buzz!
The wind hummed and people moved!
In a flash, Lu Ming, Cockroach Pavilion, and Cockroach Green all disappeared.
For a moment, it was as if the three of them had never existed until a loud roar echoed from midair.
Everyone saw…
At some point in time, three pairs of powerful flesh wings had grown on Lu Ming’s back. The flapping of the flesh wings allowed Lu Ming to swiftly maneuver in the air.
Around him, the two cockroach-like creatures, each with four wings, were also moving swiftly and agilely!
The three of them fought violently in midair.
Using his flesh wings as propulsion, Lu Ming’s hands, feet, and tail all turned into terrifying killing weapons. With just a simple move, he could cause black ripples in the air, as if he was tearing space apart.
In the Desperate State, Lu Ming’s physical strength was ten times that of his Self-Limitation State!
If Lu Ming’s physical strength in the Self-limitation State was at the lowest level in the Ancient Realm, then in the Desperate State, Lu Ming’s physical strength had already caught up head on, at least much stronger than Cockroach Pavilion, and slightly stronger than Cockroach Green.
With a ‘Pfft’ sound.
Cockroach Pavilion could not keep up with Lu Ming’s speed at all. In an instant, three of its right limbs were instantly smashed by Lu Ming’s massive tail. It grunted and retreated violently. However, how could retreating ever be faster than advancing!?
A menacing mouth instantly appeared in front of Cockroach Pavilion.
It was Lu Ming in hot pursuit, aiming to bite Cockroach Pavilion’s head to pieces in one go!
Sharp teeth spun rapidly, and the tremendous suction force emanating from Lu Ming’s mouth further restricted Cockroach Pavilion’s movements.
As long as he bit it, Cockroach Pavilion was certain to meet his demise!
At the critical moment, Cockroach Green hurried to the scene.
He instantly blasted out his right arm, and his three right arms carried a copious amount of strength as they ferociously blasted between Lu Ming’s ribs!
“Heart Accelerating Palm, pierce!”
Even though he could not unleash the power of the silver patterns when facing Lu Ming, the power of the Divine Power Realm Heart Accelerating Palm was not inferior at all!
Any Source Power skill cultivated to the Divine Power Realm would bring about some magical properties that could turn something rotten into something magical. The Heart Accelerating Palm was no exception!
Three palms struck Lu Ming at the same time, causing Lu Ming’s body to momentarily stall.
In the next second.
With a “Bang.”
Three forces that carried flesh, blood, and bone fragments shot out from the other side of Lu Ming’s body like rainbows!
Cockroach Green did not relax at all after severely injuring Lu Ming in one strike!
His six arms turned into afterimages as the palm force of the Heart Accelerating Palm blasted towards Lu Ming like machine gun shells.
“Turn into meat paste for me!”
The immense force continuously bombarded Lu Ming, until he could not help but began to retreat.
Cockroach Pavilion, which had just been in a dire situation just moments ago, had been relieved by his cousin. His gaze changed, and he was about to join his cousin in attacking the other party.
But little did he know, in the blind spot of Cockroach Pavilion and Cockroach Green, a lump of flesh suddenly bulged on Lu Ming’s body.
The lump of flesh enlarged at an extremely fast speed, quickly turning into another smaller head. The connection part between this small head and Lu Ming’s body also extended, forming a snake-like long neck!
This was: Body Self-Limitation!
Yes, this was still Body Self-Limitation!
Lu Ming’s physical limitation ability not only brought him five different forms, but also exceptional control over his body in the Explosive State and Desperate State!
This level of control was so strong that Land Ming could freely distort his own form, increase or decrease parts of his body at will.
This also meant that any part of Lu Ming’s body could instantly become a lethal weapon!
It also meant that Lu Ming’s attacks were unstoppable!
Just as Cockroach Pavilion switched from retreating to advancing, another ferocious head emerged from Lu Ming’s lower abdomen. Under the snake-like neck’s leadership, it instantly appeared above Cockroach Pavilion’s head.
This was the blind spot in Cockroach Pavilion and Cockroach Green’s vision!
Ancient Realm experts had remarkable perception abilities.
However, no matter how extraordinary their perception was, it could not escape the realms of the five senses and source power sensing.
Source power sensing was generally used in long-range, wide-area scenarios.
In an intense close combat battle, the Ancient Realm still had to rely on their senses to detect the movements of their opponents—because Source Power sensing was too slow.
It was already too late for Cockroach Pavilion to react when he sensed danger.
A menacing, beast-like gaping maw enveloped him, and a tremendous suction force caused Cockroach Pavilion to be sucked into Lu Ming’s stomach like jelly!
Muffled groans, chewing sounds, and friction sounds quickly followed.
Cockroach Pavilion, who was swallowed by Lu Ming, lost its life at an extremely rapid pace!
Instant kill.
Cockroach Green was stunned by this sudden change.
But when he regained his senses, Lu Ming had already pounced in front of Cockroach Green!
His arms wrapped tightly around Cockroach Green, like a passionate embrace between lovers.
At the same time, countless tentacles surged out of Lu Ming’s chest and instantly enveloped Cockroach Green into a dumpling!
The two of them were like conjoined twins clinging tightly, as they fell from the sky, and landed on the ground with a huge bang.
Then, it was the simplest and most barbaric physical collision!
Cockroach Green, being a cockroach species, had six arms.
However, Lu Ming’s Body Self-Limitation allowed him to produce countless arms!
A large number of muscles undulated, turning into iron fists, relentlessly pounding Cockroach Green who was suppressed by Lu Ming.
“You’re the one who should be turned into meat paste!!”
Deafening roars echoed in Cockroach Green’s ears. Lu Ming, who was like the Thousand-Hand Guanyin, vented his violence and anger without restraint!
“Pa!”
“Splurt!”
“All, ah, ah!”
At first, Cockroach Green screamed and struggled wildly in an attempt to fight back.
However, under Lu Ming’s tight restraints and pressure, the two sides were competing purely based on their physical conditions!
And how could Lu Ming’s physical condition in the Desperation State possibly be weaker than Cockroach Green’s!?
The intertwined muscles transformed into numerous iron fists.
The iron fists struck ruthlessly at Cockroach Green below, creating a series of sonic booms.
It could be clearly seen that when Lu Ming punched, the air was compressed and liquefied, and the air was ionized and shot out like streams that rippled in all directions!
After the blood and flesh splattered, red, black, white, blue, and various other colored things surged with Lu Ming’s punch. For a moment, Lu Ming and Cockroach Green’s fighting ground seemed to burst into fireworks.
“Bang.”
“Bang.”
“Boom!”
A massive mushroom cloud rose into the sky.
It was Lu Ming’s punch that pierced through Cockroach Green’s body, hammering heavily onto the ground!
Lu Ming was not satisfied, and he continued to throw punches!
It was not until Cockroach Green was hammered into a thin puddle that Lu Ming took a deep breath and stood up.
A hole suddenly tore open on his abdomen.
A mess of bone fragments and flesh flowed out from it.
This was the Cockroach Pavilion, or at least a portion of it…
“Where’s the Golden Cicada Shedding Shell? Where’s your Golden Cicada Shedding Shell?!”
Lu Ming, roared in anger, his blood boiling. He heard a muffled voice from not far away…
“They won’t be shedding their Golden Cicada Shell…”
Turning his head and looking to the side, Lu Ming saw a humanoid figure, about three meters tall, covered in metallic armor, emerging from a purple mist.
Behind him, the purple mist quickly dissipated, and turned into Esek’s appearance – his face was pale, and the golden patterns were dim, indicating that he had been seriously injured.
“They didn’t shed their Golden Cicada Shell!”
A member of the insect species named Tang Chongye muttered as he slowly raised his head, his eyes gleaming and staring at Lu Ming.
Lu Ming could clearly see the killing intent in Tang Chongye’s eyes boiling.
He pondered for a moment and said.
So, they’re really dead.”
“My two sworn brothers are dead.”
“They died at your hands.”
Lu Ming grinned menacingly and said, “Alright, it looks like I did kill them, so what are you going to do about it!?”
Tang Chongye acted in response.
He waved his hand, and golden saber beams appeared in an instant!
