The God of Heavens

Chapter 212 Tragic ...
For Crocodile Ancestor, his feelings at this moment were a mixture of joy and sorrow.

The good news is that the ants who managed to escape from his grasp have now returned from the other side of the starry sky.

The bad news is that he seems to have become one of the ants as well.

Indeed, although when Crocodile Ancestor appeared, his demonic aura was overwhelming and his murderous aura swept across the eight wastelands, displaying the might of a world-destroying demon, it could only frighten Ye Fan and others who were just beginning their cultivation journey. Now, in front of Lin Yu, he couldn't even withstand a single move.

When Lin Yu's colossal hand descended, pressing him hard into the fiery red earth, a rare look of bewilderment appeared on Crocodile Ancestor's ferocious crocodile face.

who I am? Where am I? What am I going to do?
"You...who are you?!"

The Crocodile Ancestor was utterly horrified.

He simply couldn't understand why such a terrifying being could be hidden among these once weak ants!

In his mind, apart from Shakyamuni Buddha, no one in the world should be able to make him tremble so much just from their aura! But today, he happened to encounter one.

Moreover, the other party didn't seem to have any interest in making a serious move.

"Holy crap!" Pang Bo's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he yelled at the top of his lungs, "Old Lin, your strength is just too outrageous!!"

Ye Fan, Xia Jiuyou, and the others also had drastic changes in expression. Although they had long heard of Lin Yu's glorious achievements in sweeping across the Big Dipper and suppressing the Ancient Clan over the years, rumors were ultimately not as shocking as seeing it with their own eyes.

This is the ancestor of all crocodiles!
A genuine Great Sage of the Demon Race! Even after being suppressed by Shakyamuni for a thousand years, his strength had plummeted to the level of a Saint King. In the Big Dipper constellation, he would still be enough to dominate a region, terrifying many holy lands and aristocratic families. But now, in Lin Yu's hands, he couldn't even withstand a single move and was directly pressed into the ground!

"Is this... Lin Yu's current strength?" Ye Fan took a deep breath, his heart churning with turbulent emotions. He had thought his cultivation speed was already astonishing enough, but now it seemed that Lin Yu had already reached a height that was beyond his reach.

Xia Jiuyou's pupils constricted sharply, and her small hands clenched involuntarily. She had once been arrogant about her unparalleled talent, but now she truly understood what it meant to be outmatched and to have a limitless potential!
With a slight thought, Lin Yu sent Crocodile Ancestor into his palm as a stream of light. As the laws of nature circulated, Crocodile Ancestor’s massive, mountain-like body appeared to the outside world as small as a palm.

The crowd gathered around, curiously examining the living demon king. Its entire body was covered in black and gold scales, each scale gleaming with a cold metallic luster. At this moment, it was roaring angrily in Lin Yu's palm, the sound waves shaking the void.

"Good heavens!" Pang Bo grinned. "Old Lin, are you treating him like Sun Wukong?"

Ye Fan's gaze was deep as he said calmly, "Back then, he regarded us as ants, and now he has tasted what it's like to be an ant."

"Um," Pang Bo rubbed his hands together, his eyes fixed on Crocodile Ancestor, "I've heard that the flesh and blood of saints are very nourishing, how about we try some?"

Lin Yu hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement. A flash of divine light appeared at his fingertips, and the Crocodile Ancestor's legendary sacred armor instantly detached from his body. Immediately afterward, a cold glint flashed, and a thick crocodile leg snapped off.

"Roar—! I, who roamed the ancient times, have never been defeated except by Shakyamuni! Countless proud and outstanding talents have perished in my mouth, and today I have become food for the human race! How pitiful! How lamentable!"

Crocodile Ancestor roared, never expecting such a day to come. He was about to become someone else's meal. How could the word "misery" possibly describe the miserable state of this once invincible demon saint?
The crocodile ancestor had a body the size of a small mountain, and even one of its thighs was incredibly large; a single piece of its flesh could easily weigh over a thousand pounds.

Because it was the flesh and blood of a demon saint, this large piece of flesh began to shimmer with dazzling divine light and possessed a power that transcended the mundane world when it was torn off.

Lin Yu summoned the waters of the Demon Sea to cleanse himself, then ignited the Dao Fire. His physical body was enveloped in a misty haze, occasionally bursting forth with five-colored divine light. It was clearly a highly nourishing food, probably comparable to the legendary dragon meat.

A single drop of blood from an ancient sage could kill a powerful being, and the flesh of a demon saint was even more potent. Just standing nearby exuded a terrifying pressure, and Pang Bo, who had just wanted to take a bite, could barely speak.

"Is this really edible?" Pang Bo swallowed hard, feeling both anticipation and fear. He felt that such a piece of meat was enough to kill him a thousand times over.

"I've already refined the essence inside, so you can eat it without worry." Lin Yu was already an expert at handling this kind of ingredient, and his cooking was incredibly skillful.

“That’s right, what’s there to be afraid of? I’ve eaten here several times already,” Ye Fan said, showing that he had never been shortchanged by his brother Lin Yu.

With Ye Fan's assurance, Pang Bo and the others finally mustered their courage and tore off small pieces of Crocodile Ancestor's roasted meat. The meat was crystal clear, radiating divine light, flowing from the tender, golden flesh, with rays of light spreading out one after another.

“I’ll stick with Lin Zishuang,” Pang Bo chuckled. “Where in the demon realm can I find such good food?”

Lin Yu had already refined the violent holy power within the meat into something as docile as water. As everyone put the roasted meat into their mouths, their eyes widened in surprise. The meat was fragrant, tender, and smooth, melting in their mouths and transforming into rays of light that seeped into their bodies.

At that moment, every pore on their bodies opened up, surging outwards with vital energy, radiating brilliance, and overflowing with divine power.

"Ugh!" Pang Bo had just eaten his third piece when he suddenly shuddered. His pores seemed to be gushing with divine light, and blood uncontrollably streamed from his nose. "Holy crap... this is too nourishing!"

Zhang Wenchang was even worse off; after taking only a small bite, his face turned completely red, and his whole body swelled up as if inflated, with wisps of white smoke rising from his head.

"I...I feel like I'm about to ascend," he stammered, his holy power surging around him, almost bursting through the sky.

Although Ye Fan, Xia Jiuyou, and the others had higher cultivation levels, they only dared to take small bites. Even so, they couldn't eat much before being overwhelmed by the auspicious energy, feeling completely comfortable and lightheaded.

"No! I feel like I'm going to explode!" Pang Bo roared, his body bursting with dazzling light.

He struggled to look at Lin Yu and the four little ones who were feasting, and shouted hoarsely, "Linzi! Think of something!" "Tsk, don't bite off more than you can chew."

Seeing everyone looking like they were ascending to heaven, Lin Yu shook his head and chuckled, then lightly made a gesture with his right hand in the void.

In an instant, the entire world went dark. Wisps of dark light spilled out from the void, forming a treasure bottle. The dark light shimmered, flowing with Daoist charm, and looked ancient and natural.

The vase has a simple design, like a vessel of the Great Dao, seemingly capable of suppressing all heavens and myriad realms, mysterious and unfathomable.

"Condense!" In an instant, streaks of light shot out, and an ancient treasure bottle mark appeared between the brows of each person, emitting a faint glow.

"This is the Great Dao Treasure Bottle Seal, which can help you temporarily store the essence of the Demon Saint," Lin Yu explained. "You can use it now without worry. Any excess essence will be stored in the bottle and refined slowly during your future cultivation."

Pang Bo was overjoyed upon hearing this and couldn't wait to grab a large piece of roasted meat and stuff it into his mouth: "Then I won't be polite!" This time, he did not experience any leakage of his essence; all the excess holy power was absorbed by the treasure bottle mark between his eyebrows.

Zhang Wenchang and the others were relieved and carefully savored this rare, holy-grade delicacy. With each bite, they could feel the treasure bottle mark between their brows slightly warm, storing the excess essence as a foundation for their future cultivation.

The mountain of crocodile leg meat was devoured in no time, with most of it ending up in the mouths of Lin Yu and the four little ones, while the others also reaped a bountiful harvest.

With this stroke of good fortune, advancing several realms shouldn't be a problem. To have such an achievement before even arriving on Earth means I've definitely come to the right place.

Seeing Lin Yu put away the Crocodile Ancestor, Pang Bo curiously stepped forward: "What are you planning to do with this old monster? Should we cut off some flesh every now and then?"

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow and sneered, "How could I let him off so easily? I saw a good idea from a friend. Doesn't this old demon like to have baby crocodiles, with hundreds and thousands of offspring? Why not raise them and make them lay eggs every day to provide nutrition for the children of Yao Guang Holy Land?"

"Holy crap, that's ruthless!"

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines; the Crocodile Ancestor was about to suffer greatly!
……

Though the divine meat is delicious, returning home is something to look forward to.

The five-colored altar on Earth has been damaged, so Lin Yu can only fly there from Mars. He is about to return to his hometown, and everyone is very excited.

Looking up at the starry sky, Earth resembles a blue moon, reflecting a soft halo, seemingly within reach, yet actually hundreds of millions of kilometers away.

Even at its closest distance, it is as high as 55 million kilometers, which is an astronomical figure.

However, with four sages present, this distance was no problem. Lin Yu pierced through layers of void with a wave of his hand, and after several teleportations, he quickly approached the water-blue planet.

Viewed from space, this aquamarine star is incredibly beautiful, like a blue diamond, sparkling with crystalline light, almost like a dream.

From space, this aquamarine star is not large, far smaller than the Big Dipper constellation, and even less comparable to the ancient life-bearing star field of the Ziwei constellation, yet it possesses an inexplicably vast aura.

It is relatively delicate, yet it inspires awe, as if a living emperor is lurking within, making one tremble involuntarily.

Looking out from beyond the realm, Lin Yu felt that Earth was far more terrifying than he had imagined, possessing a chilling power.

The Lord's Eye opened, piercing through layers of spatial barriers. Earth's space was sealed and folded by various grand formations, and countless small worlds were hidden within these layers of space.

Towering peaks pierce the clouds, their slopes teeming with spiritual energy; the vast ocean surges with towering waves, seemingly about to tear the sky apart.

The laws of heaven and earth here are very special, and the Great Dao is profound. It is unknown what kind of being made the move. Even the laws of heaven and earth and the order of heaven and earth have been sealed off, and the whole world gives people a feeling of incompleteness!

As the group fell from the clouds, the scenery below became clearer, revealing magnificent mountains and rivers, but Ye Fan and his companions felt a sense of unease.

The energy of heaven and earth on Earth is extremely thin, almost negligible, making cultivation difficult. They immediately understood why they hadn't seen many cultivators before.

But that wasn't the most terrifying thing. What worried everyone the most was that their cultivation seemed to be declining rapidly, their magical power was severely diminished, and they seemed to be facing the "disintegration of their cultivation."

"My strength has returned to what it was two years ago, and I can only demonstrate the power of the four poles during the Big Dipper era!"

Ye Fan was very frustrated. He felt that the strength he had painstakingly cultivated was not his own. It was as if everything was a gift from heaven and earth, which could be taken back at any time.

That was still considered good; Zhang Wenchang and the others were in even worse shape. Their cultivation levels were not high, and they had little to no cultivation to begin with. If Lin Yu hadn't used his divine power to support them, they would probably have fallen to their deaths on the spot.

"Your cultivation and spiritual power have not actually diminished; they have been suppressed by this world. This is... the Dharma-ending Age of ancient legends, where the Dao is imperceptible!"

The laws of nature on Earth seemed to exert a strange suppression, gradually eroding the cultivation of the outside cultivators. Only Lin Yu, surrounded by a faint divine radiance, appeared unaffected.

During the descent, everyone truly experienced what it meant to be a tiger fallen into the plains. The once mighty cultivators were now filled with dread as they sank thousands of feet into the sky.
