Chapter 881 - 467: Awakening the Heart of the Fighting God

He raised his head.

At this moment, everyone saw that the madness and determination initially in Cheng Jianyong’s eyes were gone.

On the contrary, he now appeared incomparably calm.

He clearly knew what he was doing.

He also understood the state he needed to be in to survive the upcoming battle and claim victory.

Shen Yun said at this moment, "Brother Xing, have you noticed that Xiaoyongzi seems to have undergone some changes?"

Han Xing nodded, "I have noticed, but I can’t quite put it into words, what specific changes."

Simultaneously, the God of Radiance, whose eyes were radiant like the sun, showed a hint of surprise.

"Master, your friend is quite interesting... He seems to have entered an awakening state called the Heart of the Fighting God."

"Heart of the Fighting God awakening state?"

The God of Radiance nodded, "Yes."

"Throughout history, only Gods of War and Gods of Destruction who emerged from fierce battles have a chance of awakening into such a state."

"From your friend, I see the same eyes as those divine spirits."

Han Xing asked, "Will this state have any impact on him?"

The God of Radiance replied, "It won’t have any adverse effect; on the contrary, it will greatly enhance his potential."

"You must understand, every divine spirit controls different rules, so their expertise varies."

"And those truly possessing the strongest combat power are those who have awakened the Heart of the Fighting God among the divine spirits."

"Among the gods, they are extremely formidable and highly aggressive."

"Given time, they have a significant chance to break through to become a True God."

"However, the prerequisite is that your friend manages to successfully complete his transformation without perishing midway."

Han Xing was thoughtful.

The God of Radiance continued, "Thousands of high-intensity battles have already forced his spirit to its limits time and again."

"He managed to persist at this level by relentlessly tapping into all his potential."

"However, when potential is exhausted, it starts to overdraw future potential and even life force."

"Hence, the upcoming battle is crucial for him."

"If he emerges as the final victor, he might fully awaken the Heart of the Fighter and stand among the top gods in future breakthroughs."

"If he loses the next battle, even if he survives, he might fall into despair, becoming utterly useless."

Upon hearing the God of Radiance’s explanation, everyone tensed up again.

Because this meant Cheng Jianyong could only win the upcoming battle, he absolutely must not fail.

Once he fails, even if the God of Radiance saves him, Cheng Jianyong would likely lose all combat ability.

Under everyone’s tense gaze.

Cheng Jianyong has already stepped into the 993rd challenge.

Just as the God of Radiance mentioned.

He has now entered a wondrous transformation state.

He ignored everything around him—sounds, energy, scenes...

In front of him, only his opponent remained.

A creature with hundreds of arms, all ghastly white, resembling a millipede.

Every opened palm revealed a tortured human face,

they continuously emitted wail-like cries of vengeful spirits.

[Divine Creation - Hybrid Stitched Body (Human, Centipede, Skeleton Creature)]

[Level: 66 (Middle-tier Demigod)]

[Attributes: Power 152394, Agility 134523, Spirit 153321, Constitution 163323]

[Skills: Night Parade of Hundred Demons, Rapid Healing, Skeleton Body, Ten Thousand Souls’ Resentment, Ultimate Skill—Hell’s Wail]

[Divine Power Value: 0]

...

At this moment, seeing Cheng Jianyong, those faces on the palms simultaneously released cries of pain.

"Pain... I’m in so much pain!"

"Help me... help me..."

"Hehehe! Come accompany us~"

"..."

These voices seemed to ring in his ears, continuously drilling into Cheng Jianyong’s mind.

Normally, even legends or demigods would be affected by this mental attack.

However, Cheng Jianyong’s heart remained calm.

He even felt no pain from his body.

At this moment, the millipede with human faces swiftly crawled from the ground toward him.

Rustle, rustle, rustle...

The sight of hundreds of arms crawling on the ground looked extremely eerie.

And just as this creature was about to get close to Cheng Jianyong, its upper torso suddenly stood up, pouncing fiercely toward him.

The kilometer-long body now came down like a towering mountain.

"Whew..."

Cheng Jianyong took a deep breath.

His brain was already in a hyper-speed state.

At the moment when the millipede’s attack came, Cheng Jianyong suddenly realized the opponent’s attack seemed so slow.

He even rapidly analyzed in his mind the attack trajectory of each leg and how to evade them with minimal physical strength consumption.

Before the millipede’s massive body compressed Cheng Jianyong.

He moved.

He retrieved the Magma Pillar in his hand, replacing it with a longsword that appeared again.

"Swish!"

The longsword sliced through.

Dozens of arms on the millipede were severed in an instant.

It couldn’t help but open its mouth in a painful cry.

And at this moment.

Cheng Jianyong’s figure flickered and appeared in front of it.

Seizing the moment its mouth opened, the longsword directly pierced out.

"Pfft!"

The battle ended.

Since he stepped onto the third layer, this was the quickest and easiest battle he experienced.

The Cheng Jianyong in this state was truly strong.

Everyone remained silent in the team channel, fearing they might disturb him.

The God of Radiance beside them grew more delighted with each observation.

The God of Radiance gleefully expressed, "His adaptability is truly terrifying!"
