Immortality begins with Swallowing the Stars.

Chapter 62 The Strongest Human

The Jiangnan region of the Huaxia Kingdom.

A huge city, more than 500 kilometers from the coast, stands here.

A massive dam, tens of meters high, sits amidst the ruins.

The dam is mottled in many places, with obvious traces of repairs and impacts.

Behind the city walls, countless people were evacuating.

"That dragon turtle again?!"

On the dam-like city wall, a burly, weathered middle-aged man's eyes gleamed with intense hatred.

This middle-aged man was Yao Weiwu, the highest-ranking military official at the Jiangnan Survivors Base.

"Judging from the satellite images and photos taken by fighter jets, there shouldn't be many monsters following the Dragon Turtle this time. We were able to repel them last time, and we'll definitely be able to do it again this time!" another warrior with only one arm said in a deep voice.

"Ha, repelled..." Yao Weiwu laughed bitterly, "It's more that it's full."

Everyone recalled the horrific scene of the last Dragon Turtle invasion, where the king-level monster smashed through the city walls, rampaged through the city, and devoured countless civilians.

"We've moved 500 kilometers inland and deliberately avoided the rivers, why won't these monsters leave us alone!"

"They just see us as food to be kept in captivity. Why else would they eat us?"

Everyone turned to look at the figure walking up behind them.

"flood!"

A tall figure appeared before the crowd.

Yao Weiwu was initially pleased, then worried: "Hong, have you recovered from your injuries?"

Hong's face was still pale, and he shook his head slightly: "I haven't recovered, but I have gained new insights into internal martial arts after this ordeal. I can still unleash the strength of a War God Warrior. Even if I can't deal with the Dragon Turtle, I can still kill the sea monsters that followed it ashore."

A martial artist nearby glanced at his satellite communication watch: "Many powerful individuals from other regions are already on their way. It's just that Thor and Jia Yi went to the Japanese archipelago, but their signal was interrupted midway. I wonder what happened to them..."

Yao Weiwu's expression was grave: "Forget it, tell them not to come. War God-level experts are the hope for humanity's future; they can't be sacrificed here in vain. Take out the last two nuclear bombs in the arsenal, and after this catastrophe is over, continue the retreat inland!"

"They're here..."

Everyone looked ahead.

A giant, long-necked turtle appeared on the horizon, followed closely by a dark mass of monsters that had come ashore with the dragon turtle. Most of them were reptiles, with a few shrimp and crab-like arthropods.

The dragon turtle was over two hundred meters in diameter, with its shell towering high like a small mountain. It strolled leisurely toward the city wall, showing no hurry and paying no attention to the fighter jets circling overhead.

Although it seemed slow, the actual speed was not slow at all; it was much faster than the countless people who were evacuating and fleeing the city.

"Nuclear missile ready for launch!" Yao Weiwu's face turned cold.

While nuclear bombs are highly destructive, the target must be located at the epicenter of the explosion for the destructive power to be significant.

Don't be fooled by the dragon turtle's seemingly leisurely pace. In reality, when faced with real danger, no king-level monster is slow. It can instantly reach several times the speed of sound and leave the center of a nuclear explosion in the blink of an eye.

But Yao Weiwu had no other choice.

"I just sent a message, but there's still someone flying here at breakneck speed... They're moving too fast..." the martial artist exclaimed in surprise as he checked his communication watch.

"Which spiritualist?"

"Lu Jing..."

Yao Weiwu asked in surprise, "Is it that mentalist known as the number one war god in the Southwest region?"

Hong's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Lu Jing? Ever since he disappeared in the Hengduan Mountains, his satellite communication watch signal has also disappeared. I thought it was destroyed. Is he still alive? No, could it be that someone else or some other monster found his communication watch?"

"He's already here..." The martial artist stared in shock at the image displayed on his watch screen.

Immediately, three figures descended swiftly from the sky and landed on the city wall.

"Thor... Jiang Mu... Jia Yi?"

There are currently fewer than twenty War God-level experts in China, and each of them is a famous figure. Naturally, the people on the city wall recognized the three of them at a glance.

"What are you doing...?" Yao Weiwu looked at the three of them in surprise.

Even a mentalist cannot fly without the aid of external objects.

"Hehe, it was Lu Jing who brought the three of us back. Tsk tsk, now I finally know how awesome it is for a mentalist to fly."

Thor's eyes lit up when he saw Hong, and he clicked his tongue in amazement, saying, "We're both sick cats now."

Everyone then looked at the figure floating in mid-air wearing a strange black battle suit. With his planetary-level telekinetic power, he easily carried Thor and the other two.

Lu Jing was wearing the Black God Suit he had borrowed from Thor, and a backpack containing weapons was slung over his back. After all, it was his first time fighting a King-level monster, so he naturally had to be fully prepared.

"Dragon Turtle".

Seeing the enormous monster getting closer and closer, Lu Jing rushed over before it got any closer.

"What is he going to do?"

"Hehe, don't panic, Lu Jing is already a powerhouse who has surpassed the God of War!" Thor said.

Amidst a chorus of astonished exclamations, Hong's eyes lit up: "Beyond the God of War? Is that a realm comparable to a King-level monster?"

"Hehe, that's not all!" Thor rubbed his bald head. "Just you wait and see, that dragon turtle is definitely going to be driven back into the sea this time!"

Looking at the scene in the distance, Yao Weiwu felt a mixture of disbelief and unease: "Is he the only one above the God of War? Does he need the support of missiles and fighter jets?"

Lu Jing was like an ant in front of that mountain-sized behemoth.

Yao Weiwu knew how terrifying that dragon turtle was.

Even if a hundred high-level war gods surrounded it, they probably wouldn't be able to break through the dragon turtle's skin.

Can a powerhouse surpassing the God of War defeat such a terrifying behemoth?

"Let me see just how powerful a King-level monster really is." Lu Jing's gaze was icy, filled with killing intent.

boom!

Three triangular spikes and five black lizard horns shot out from the backpack like lightning, moving so fast that it seemed as if space itself was being sliced ​​apart.

The eight bolts of lightning were not aimed at the dragon turtle, but rather charged into the horde of monsters following the dragon turtle like dragons.

In an instant, blood, some foul-smelling and some fragrant, sprayed out.

The eight bolts of lightning, like a meat grinder, turned the monster horde into a hellish graveyard of flesh and blood.

Eight black lightning bolts swirled and danced, seemingly transforming into a tornado that relentlessly ravaged the beast horde.

Even a Lord-level monster couldn't stop the Meat Grinder Tornado for even a moment.

On the city wall, countless warriors and soldiers stared intently ahead, all with expressions of disbelief.

Yao Weiwu was so excited he could hardly speak.

"As expected, it possesses power surpassing even the God of War!"

It should be noted that although the number of beasts in that horde did not seem to be as large as a previous beast tide, there were definitely quite a few third-tier lord-level monsters among them, yet they were still so vulnerable in that black meat grinder tornado.

The turtle, seemingly leisurely strolling ashore in search of food, was caught off guard when it saw its subordinates being brutally murdered by the little guy in front of it. It let out a roar and stretched out its neck like lightning, shooting towards Lu Jing.

If it were a war god-level expert, they probably wouldn't even have time to react before being swallowed up.

Don't be fooled by the dragon turtle's slow movements; once it strikes, its speed is so fast that no one can react in time.

A sly glint flashed in the dragon turtle's enormous eyes.

Even many king-level monsters in the sea have suffered from this move; once bitten, having a piece of flesh torn off is the least of their worries.

In the blink of an eye, the dragon turtle's neck stretched out for dozens of meters.

Lu Jing's eyes flashed like lightning, and a blue aura rapidly spread out, spanning hundreds of meters.

Lu Jing was like a god in the realm.

The dragon turtle's neck, which had shot out like lightning, suddenly stopped a few meters away from Lu Jing.

It felt as if a huge mountain was pressing down on its head, and the surrounding space was constantly squeezing it.

"What kind of power is this?" the dragon turtle asked in surprise.

Then the cyan domain flashed and disappeared in an instant. Lu Jing reached out and summoned a sharp spike—a spike from the body of a dead high-level lord monster in the horde.

Holding a sharp spike, Lu Jing instantly arrived in front of one of the dragon turtle's eyes and pierced it.

The dragon turtle's eyes sprayed a viscous liquid, causing its spikes to break.

The dragon turtle, in pain, opened its massive mouth and exhaled a stream of white air. The air was frozen into ice particles as it passed through, which were water vapor in the air.

Lu Jing easily dodged the dragon turtle's breath.

Subsequently, this enormous, mountain-like beast and Lu Jing, who appeared as small as an ant in comparison, became entangled like two savage giants.

Lu Jing constantly summoned spikes and limbs from the dead monsters in the horde, or directly clashed head-on with the dragon turtle with punches and kicks.

Although his body was still at the advanced War God level, by concentrating his domain on his fists and feet, every move and every strike could unleash power exceeding that of a low-level planetary warrior.

However, if Lu Jing were to be attacked by the Dragon Turtle, the double weakening effect of the Domain and the Black God Set would reduce his condition to a level that would not seriously injure him.

However, it certainly cannot be easily attacked by the dragon turtle.

Fortunately, Lu Jing possessed a domain, which allowed wind-attribute energy within a hundred meters to move with him.

These terrifying cosmic energies, when applied to fists and feet, enable them to contend with the Dragon Turtle.

If applied to flight, the speed becomes extremely fast.

Therefore, the dragon turtle had almost no way to deal with him.

But the dragon turtle's defense is truly terrifying. Even if you don't attack its shell, it's difficult to harm it by attacking its exposed body.

"If we had telekinetic weapons, we could have dealt with this dragon turtle long ago!" Lu Jing said, somewhat frustrated.

Of course, if he were to combine his genetic energy, physical strength, spiritual power, and consciousness using his domain, triggering a resonance in the universe, burning his soul, and unleashing his strongest power, he could naturally kill the dragon turtle in one strike.

But Lu Jing would not have done this unless he was facing a mortal enemy.

However, every giant beast has its weaknesses.

For example, although the dragon turtle has extremely strong overall defense, its eyes are still the most vulnerable part.

Lu Jing struggled with it for a long time before finally blinding it completely and even blasting a passage through its eyes. He then found an opportunity to enter the dragon turtle's brain through its eyes.

Lu Jing covered his entire body with the Black God Suit and shot out from the Dragon Turtle's eyes without getting a drop of blood on himself.

Then the colossal beast, as large as a small mountain, swayed a few times and collapsed to the ground with a thud.

"We won..."

"We won!"

"The monster is dead! We're saved!"

"Humanity has hope!"

Seeing all this, countless people on the city wall wept with joy!

"Is this the power that surpasses even the God of War...?"

Aside from the shocked Yao Weiwu, Hong, and others, even Lei Shen, who had great confidence in Lu Jing, was somewhat dazed.

"This is the power of humanity's strongest."

A look of determination and longing appeared on Hong's pale face: "This is also the power I want to pursue and possess in the future."
