The prehistoric infrastructure maniac

Chapter 186 True God
Entangled and bound by the streams of water like ropes, Shi Mo, unable to dodge, was sent flying by Wuzhiqi's blow.

With a gust of blood, Shi Mo trembled violently, and cracks appeared all over his body. His divine power was also rapidly depleted and became disordered.

"Is this the power of a true god's all-out attack?" Shi Mo, who had just managed to steady himself, felt bitter and helpless. If his divine body hadn't already reached the level of a pure yang magic weapon, he would probably be finished.

"Huh? He's not dead?" Wuzhiqi was somewhat surprised. Then, his furry monkey face became even more ferocious, and he charged at Shi Mo again in a flash.

"There's no other way. Although I don't want to be too high-profile, it might be really dangerous if I don't break through," Shi Mo gritted his teeth and retreated as the surrounding space twisted. The divine power in his body quietly transformed, causing the surrounding flames to surge into his body like a tide.

"What?" Sensing the change in Shi Mo's aura, Wu Zhiqi couldn't help but widen his eyes, and then without hesitation, he leaned closer and slammed his dark red giant club down on Shi Mo.

With a loud bang, Shi Mo raised his hand to block, and his surging divine power, no less powerful than Wu Zhiqi's, erupted from his palm like a volcano. With a loud bang, Shi Mo, who had forced Wu Zhiqi back, was thrown away. At the same time, the divine power in his body transformed even faster.

Shi Mo's subsequent breakthrough also caused Gonggong, Zhurong, Xiangliu, Yuan and others to be slightly taken aback, and their moods suddenly changed.

"How is this possible? Where did this kid come from? He became a true god without making a sound? Is his talent and foundation that good?" Gonggong and Xiangliu couldn't believe it.

Zhu Rong, equally surprised, couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Haha! Good! Well done!"

"He broke through to become a true god so quickly? Among the Chaos Gods, there must be very few as talented as him." Yuan, equally astonished, couldn't help but laugh as he sensed Xiang Liu's unsettled aura.

"Didn't he just become a Celestial God? This..." Jiu Feng stared blankly at Shi Mo, whose aura was growing stronger and stronger.

"Impossible!" Wuzhiqi gritted his teeth and stared intently at Shi Mo, his defenses crumbling. He had gone through countless life-and-death battles to accumulate the foundation needed to break through and become a true god, but how could the other party also break through?

Impossible? Shi Mo secretly laughed at this guy's shallowness and ignorance, saying he was just a frog in a well.

The breakthrough from a celestial being to a true god is indeed very difficult, unlike a pure yang true immortal who can directly break through to become a Dao ancestor after comprehending the Dao.

Of course, if one can comprehend the Dao of Heaven, one's soul will transform and become stronger, and one's divine power will break through to the level of a true god, which will be a natural outcome.

After all, divine power contains the power of the soul, and divine power can nurture the soul, while the soul can naturally influence divine power.

With a strong physical body, Shi Mo also possessed a powerful divine soul. Therefore, after cultivating and refining the body-refining method to raise his divine power to the peak level of the Heavenly God, he had already touched upon the opportunity for transformation and breakthrough.

The reason I'm not in a hurry to break through is simply because I want to keep a low profile and not be too conspicuous, lest I attract the attention and fear of some powerful figures.

Unexpectedly, he happened to be caught in the great war between gods and demons, and encountered Wuzhiqi, who had just broken through to become a true god, and was forced to choose to break through as well.

Wuzhiqi's breakthrough was likely due to the stimulation from Shi Mo. His emotional excitement caused fluctuations in his divine power, leading to a transformation in the divine power within him.

“It seems that the soul is an important factor affecting the breakthrough of divine power,” Shi Mo keenly noticed this.

But thinking about it, it makes sense, since the soul is the foundation of a living being.

As his divine power underwent a transformation, Shi Mo, who also used the transformed true god's divine power to temper his divine body, felt his divine body and soul transforming and becoming stronger at a perceptible speed.

With a tremor, Shi Mo instantly realized that his divine body had transformed to a new level, truly comparable to a pure Yang magic weapon.

It should be noted that even if one cultivates the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts to the ninth level, the divine body is only comparable to a pure Yang grade magic weapon, which is equivalent to a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure.

Shi Mo's current divine body has reached the sixth level of the Eight-Nine Arcane Technique. It can only be said that the body-refining effect of the true god's divine power is really good!
In the original novel of Desolate Era, Ji Ning learned the body-refining method of the Northern Xiu World God and developed a half-step Ancestral God's divine body. It seems that he only spent twelve years refining his divine body with divine power and cultivated it to the level of a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

In the chaos, some ancestral gods with profound foundations, without any great opportunities, will only be able to cultivate their divine bodies to the level of top-grade innate spiritual treasures.

Feeling the divine power emanating from Shi Mo, which seemed even stronger than his own after his breakthrough, Wuzhiqi felt no excitement at becoming a true god; instead, he felt only resentment and unwillingness.

Before his breakthrough, he couldn't do anything to Shi Mo. Now that both of them have broken through, how easy is it to defeat a true god?

Suddenly, a violent energy fluctuation came from afar. Three enormous divine and demonic figures were seen entangled and fighting each other, advancing as they fought, and in the blink of an eye, they were close by.
"Three true gods?" Feeling the violent aura of divine power, Shi Mo's expression changed slightly.

Boom! Suddenly, one of the figures transformed into lightning and accelerated to escape the pursuit of the other two True Gods. After getting close to Xiang Liu, the figure solidified and threw a punch at Xiang Liu.

Amidst the deafening explosion, Xiang Liu, who was hastily retreating, still had one of his snake heads blasted off by a punch imbued with the power of lightning, and his body was covered in charred marks. Wu Zhiqi instinctively retreated, while Shi Mo looked with surprise and curiosity at the imposing and domineering figure bathed in lightning:
"What an overbearing True God! Is he a True God powerhouse from the Fire Kingdom? Even two True Gods couldn't stop him. He's truly powerful!"

"Haha, Brother Zhurong, I'm not late, am I?" the burly and domineering old man laughed loudly.

Zhu Rong laughed too: "Not late! You've arrived just in time!"

"Neither of you could stop him?" Gonggong looked at the two true gods who had previously blocked the burly old man with some dissatisfaction.

Shi Mo was familiar with the appearances of the two true gods. One was a huge Kunpeng, and the other was a cold woman covered in bone spurs, as if she were wearing white bone armor. They were Xuan Ming, both of whom were Chaos True Gods.

“Brother Gonggong, the Thunder God’s escape techniques are too fast, and he has mastered the Dao of Lightning. His attack power is also strong. If he wants to leave, we really can’t stop him.”

Xuanming shook his head and said helplessly, "If it weren't for Kunpeng's speed, I'm afraid he would have left me behind long ago."

A sudden, deep, and strange dragon roar came from afar. A slender, hornless dragon flew over and transformed into a tall, thin man with a third eye between his eyebrows.

"Zhulong?" Gonggong's face darkened upon seeing the tall, thin man.

"Thor? That hot-tempered guy?" Shi Mo raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but glance at the tall, thin man, Zhulong.
"Zhulong? He seems to have died during the Three Realms period, but he left behind a widely spread great divine power called 'Zhulong's Eye.' We don't know when he died, whether it was from the internal strife in the Pangu world or the war that shattered the Pangu world?"

"What? Gonggong, you're scared as soon as Brother Zhulong and the Thunder God arrive? Do you want to call a truce? You think you can just come and go as you please in my Fire Kingdom's capital?" Zhurong's words made Gonggong's face grow even uglier.

Shi Mo was speechless, inwardly sighing, "Why are they still so relentless? What's the point of fighting? If we continue, we'll only be losing the very foundation of the Pangu World!"

Of course, Shi Mo wouldn't say these words aloud, and he knew very well that Zhu Rong wouldn't listen to his advice.

If either of the two ancestral gods, Gonggong and Zhurong, had listened to advice, the heavens wouldn't have collapsed.

"You think you're afraid of me, Zhu Rong? You think you can beat me just because you have the Thunder God and Zhulong to help you?" Gonggong roared and made the first move.

Seeing that Gonggong and Zhurong were fighting again, Kunpeng blocked Leishen, and Xuanming was also facing Zhulong, Shi Mo, somewhat helpless, could only look at Wuzhiqi opposite him and say: "Come on! Continue!"

With a roar, Wuzhiqi, as if provoked by Shi Mo, suddenly thickened the dark red giant staff in his hand and swept it horizontally towards Shi Mo.

With a casual slap, he distorted space, drawing the dark red giant staff to Shi Mo's side, and then casually slapped a palm towards Wuzhiqi.

With a thud, Wuzhiqi, who had raised his dark red giant staff to block, was struck solidly by Shi Mo's palm and staggered backward.

But immediately afterward, Wuzhiqi gritted his teeth and charged back.
Shi Mo's seemingly casual move easily blocked Wuzhiqi's offensive, leaving this seasoned general under Gonggong's command completely helpless and utterly defeated.

"How can his divine power be so strong? He can fight me head-on with just his palm. Is his palm comparable to a magic weapon or divine weapon?" Wuzhiqi was filled with frustration and confusion.

Meanwhile, the battle between the other true gods was also fierce, with violent energy raging and the surrounding armies of gods and demons fighting each other automatically retreating.

Suddenly, Shi Mo, who was entangled with Wu Zhiqi, noticed out of the corner of his eye that Xiang Liu was quietly retreating and approaching Jiu Feng. Suddenly, a snake's head grew longer and bit towards Jiu Feng.

"Be careful!" Shi Mo warned him through a whispered message, then suddenly extended his arm and grabbed the snake's head, squeezing it hard.

With a soft "pfft," under the immense pressure of Shi Mo's palm, which possessed power comparable to a pure Yang magic weapon, the enormous snake head exploded into a bloody mist.
With a roar, Xiang Liu hurriedly dodged and retreated in the face of Yuan's pursuit.

At the same time, Wuzhiqi, who was about to unleash a full-force attack on Shi Mo, was forced back by Shi Mo's other hand.

Immediately afterwards, Shi Mo sneered and moved closer, striking Wu Zhiqi with both hands at once.

"Not good!" Unable to dodge in time, Wuzhiqi tried to block with the dark red giant staff in his hand, but Shi Mo's palm flipped, causing space to distort and all the force was slammed into Wuzhiqi's body.

Ah! With a scream, Wuzhiqi, whose divine body was shattered and transformed into a large amount of divine power that scattered, reassembled in the distance, his aura becoming noticeably weaker.

Just as Shi Mo was about to finish him off, a surging wave crashed towards him.
