The God of Heavens

Chapter 302 The Terrifying God King: My Era Has Fallen

After breaking through the last layer of magnetic barrier, a bright and clear view suddenly appeared before me.

The essence of the earth, like smoke and mist, flows through the vast heart of the earth. This milky white spiritual energy contains the purest origin of the earth.

Even a single strand of it could cause a frenzy among cultivators from the outside world.

At this moment, however, they were as gentle as a stream, softly entwining around the central stone tablet.

This square monument stands deep within the essence of the earth's milk, sometimes sinking and sometimes floating, appearing and disappearing in the vast milky mist.

An immortal monument has finally appeared!
This place is called the Earth Essence Layer, but it is not as dangerous as the Lava Layer, the Earth Fiend Layer, or the True Magnetic Layer.

Not only that, this place can be described as a blessed land where hardship has turned into happiness.

Once a cultivator enters the Earth Essence Layer, they only need to immerse themselves in it to absorb the earth's spiritual energy, thereby tempering their physical body, nourishing their soul, refining their thoughts, and accumulating a solid foundation to prepare for tribulation.

This earth milk essence is extremely precious. Even a wisp of it is worth as much as ancient dragon tooth rice, enough to make cultivators and martial artists fight tooth and nail for it.

As soon as Lin Yu absorbed the essence of the earth's milk, he felt refreshed and his thoughts became more focused and firm.

Just then, the Heavenly Serpent King's star-like eyes caught sight of the monument, and his whole body trembled violently.

Her eyes sparkled like stars, her black hair danced in the wind, and her dark true energy erupted like a surging tide, as if it were about to break through the air and seize the monument.

"Don't be impatient!"

Lin Yu raised his hand and waved, his magic power and talismans intertwining into a net, instantly stopping Xingmou's movements.

He said seriously, "Earth Milk Essence is the milk of the earth. Excessive intake will disrupt the balance of the earth, trigger volcanoes and earthquakes, and cause vegetation to wither."

Nature creates all things to nourish humankind, yet humankind has nothing to repay nature; how can we recklessly plunder it? Although this essence is greatly beneficial to cultivation, remember not to be greedy.

"That's absolutely right." Starry-eyed nodded.
"The earth is receptive; a virtuous person, in accordance with this, carries the world with his virtue. If one plunders without restraint for personal gain, losing the virtue of earth and nurturing within, it will backfire."

"That's the Immortal Monument?" Ao Luan's dragon horns glowed slightly. "In that case, let's get our hands on it!"

The monument floated in the essence of the earth's milk, its body carved with human-shaped reliefs, but the lower half of the figure was a scorpion's tail, and it exuded a chilling aura.

Sealed inside is none other than the terrifying God King, one of the five ancient god kings.

"Wait a minute!" Lin Yu raised his hand, signaling everyone to calm down.

"This terrifying god-king possesses immense power and unpredictable methods. The monument that appears in the earth milk mist may not be real; it could very well be an illusion set up by a demon god to lure us in."

As he spoke, Lin Yu's gaze sharpened, and he gently blew a breath towards the outside of the main hall.

"call--"

This breath, like a strong wind breaking through the waves, spread out the rich essence of the earth's milk layer by layer, forming a straight channel that points directly to the distant, floating, immortal monument.

However, at the end of the passage, there was always an invisible force blocking the way, and no matter how the air waves impacted it, it was always tens of feet away from the monument.

"As expected, there's a demonic array blocking the way," Lin Yu sneered, slowly clenching his right fist.

"However, even though your magic array is powerful, how can it stop me?"

He then threw a punch, which sent a powerful shockwave through the air.

"break!"

A vast and terrifying fist force exploded near the "Immortal Monument" in the distance.

The formless void shattered, the ice melted and disintegrated, and then transformed into primordial energy, merging into the earth's milk.

The earth's essence in this area is even more concentrated, indicating that this magic array was made with earth's essence and returned to its original state after being shattered by Lin Yu.

It is foreseeable that these essences of returning to their origins will make a certain place on the Divine Wind Continent even more prosperous.

"How many years have passed? Finally, someone has come here." The voice of the terrifying god-king was like a thousand scorpions crawling down one's spine, sending chills down one's spine.

"Boy, who are you? Help me escape, and I, the God-King, will grant you unparalleled power!"

As Lin Yu violently broke through the formation, the essence of the earth's milk surged forth in an instant, and a roar as if the earth itself was trembling came from the stone tablet.

This aura is in no way weaker than that of an expert who has survived eight tribulations, which shows the terrifying strength of the sealer!
But Lin Yu knew that the current terrifying God King was far from his peak.

In the ancient times, the five great god-kings were all supreme beings who could shatter the vacuum.

But now, his strength has plummeted, leaving him with only the cultivation level of the Nine Tribulations or the Thousand Transformations Realm.

Furthermore, being trapped within the stone tablet seal of the Eternal Emperor, their combat power was greatly reduced.

"You don't need to know who I am," Lin Yu said coldly. "I've come to take the Immortal Monument and, incidentally, to return you to your rightful place."

"Hahaha!"

The terrifying god-king's laughter reverberated within the essence of earth milk. The laughter carried a hint of madness, yet also a touch of mockery.

"You want to subdue the Immortal Monument and send this God-King on his way? You little brat, you've got quite the nerve. Heh heh, then come in here!"

As he finished speaking, the milky white essence of the earth suddenly solidified, turning into a viscous liquid that enveloped the Primordial Heavenly Gate layer by layer.

Lin Yu neither dodged nor avoided, letting the force drag the Heavenly Gate down.

"Yang Qian!" Dragon Girl Ao Luan exclaimed in surprise, the Nine Pure Immortal Light gathered at her fingertips about to burst forth. But the Heavenly Serpent King pressed down on her wrist, his eyes flashing with an unusual light: "Wait... he did it on purpose."

In that instant, the surrounding scenery was completely transformed. The immortal monument suddenly expanded, and the inscription poured down like quicksand, turning into a torrent of words that swept everyone into it.

When Xingmou and Ao Luan could see their surroundings again, they found themselves in a vast white jade square.

Each floor tile is engraved with ancient poems and inscriptions, each character resembling a coiled dragon or snake, exuding an aura of vicissitude and antiquity.

Lin Yu even keenly sensed that there were many complex formations in this place.

These formations are extremely profound. Each formation contains the secrets of the Great Evolution and the wondrous uses of the One Element, and they are completely integrated into one, able to gather and disperse at will.

Such methods are beyond the reach of even the Creator; they are clearly the work of a powerful Yang God.

The thoughts of a Yang God expert, when condensed, are one, but when dispersed, there are a total of 480 million.

"Truly worthy of being the work of the Eternal Emperor," Lin Yu murmured in admiration.

Inside the Immortal Monument, Lin Yu sensed the tiny runes; their number was indeed 480 million.

The entire Immortal Monument is composed of these 480 million extremely tiny individual runes, each one unique and without any resemblance.

The Eternal Emperor's abilities are simply beyond imagination; no wonder he is revered as the number one person in the ancient times!
In the center of the square stands a square monument, on which is carved a demon god with the upper body of a handsome man and the lower body of a centipede and scorpion.

The demon god was tall and imposing. Although he was imprisoned in the monument, he showed no signs of dejection and appeared quite relaxed.

When Lin Yu looked at it, its eyes also looked at Lin Yu at the same time.

"Welcome to my domain, you ants."

With this whisper, the body of the terrifying god-king slowly detached from the inscription.

His hundred-foot-long scorpion tail unfurled, scraping across the white jade ground with a piercing sound. His aura surged, instantly filling the entire space and causing the surrounding inscriptions to tremble.

The Heavenly Serpent King's expression changed drastically, and his dark true energy instinctively formed a protective shield around him: "How is it possible that he could break free from the Longevity Emperor's seal?"

Lin Yu stood motionless, golden light swirling in his eyes: "What a fine illusion."

"If the seal of the Eternal Emperor were so easily broken, you wouldn't have been trapped for so long."

"Now that I have come here, what use are your terrifying techniques, external avatars, and mental projection methods to me?"

"Don't even mention you, even the Immortal Emperor who sealed you away couldn't shake my will!"

Lin Yu snorted coldly, and a vast and powerful fist intent emanated from his body, instantly dispelling the previous pressure from the terrifying God King.

A flicker of surprise crossed the King of Terror's eyes, followed by a burst of laughter: "Interesting! Truly interesting!"

Amidst laughter, his enormous demonic body began to shrink and transform, his ferocious scorpion tail gradually retracting, eventually transforming into a handsome man dressed in a plain white robe.

At this moment, the God King was ethereal and elegant, with beautiful features. Anyone who looked at him would only think of him as an enlightened immortal. How could he have any resemblance to a demon god?
"How many years has it been?" The God-King waved his sleeve lightly, his voice gentle and refined. "You are the first person to be able to see through my illusion."

He looked Lin Yu up and down with interest. "Tell me, what do you want? Power? Authority? Or immortality?"

Lin Yu's lips curled into a slight smile: "What I want is this immortal monument behind you. As for you, you'd better obediently return to the monument!"

"What an arrogant fool!"

Upon hearing this, the God-King of Terror's pupils constricted sharply, and he was instantly filled with rage: "Although I cannot unleash my full power, my mental projection is unimpeded and can destroy anyone's soul and mind from afar. Since you are determined to die, I, the God-King, will grant your wish!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a dreamlike, magical light suddenly shot out from his eyes, and at the same time, he threw a punch from a distance.

"Ocean of Nightmares, Mind Storm!"

The moment the terrifying god king made his move, the scene before Lin Yu's eyes suddenly changed. The surroundings transformed into a monstrous wave, with continuous storms, as if he were in a stormy ocean.

"Little tricks."

Faced with this mental storm, Lin Yu did not hesitate and threw a punch. A vast fist intent surged out, instantly shattering the mental storm.

"Hmph, it seems I underestimated you. No wonder you are so confident."

Seeing that his usually invincible mental storm had been easily broken by the other party, the terrifying god-king's expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but stare intently at Lin Yu:

"It seems you have truly come to claim the Immortal Monument and subdue this God-King."

However, if you abandon this idea and do this God-King a favor, I will impart all the ancient demonic arts to you. Moreover, I possess countless demonic seeds; with just one, you will be able to rule the world! What do you say?

Unifying the world, achieving lasting hegemony, immortality, and unparalleled demonic power—these are the things that all people dream of.

"As long as you cooperate with me, nothing will be difficult. With my power as a god-king, sweeping across the world is a piece of cake, absolutely no one can..."

"Too much nonsense!"

Before the terrifying god king could finish speaking, Lin Yu interrupted him.

"Do you think you can make me give up the Immortal Monument with just these empty promises?" Lin Yu shook his head slightly, a hint of sarcasm flashing in his eyes.
"It seems you've been sealed away for too long, and your mind has become muddled."

"You ancient god-kings, though you are born noble, in our eyes the Eternal Emperor and I, you are nothing more than slightly stronger beasts. You might as well obediently become tools for refining magical artifacts!"

To Lin Yu, the terrifying God King's conditions were nothing but a joke.
