Chapter 160: Chapter 139: Divine Silkworm Ascendant, Celestial Silkworm Rebirth Scripture

In the next instant, Zhang Ji suddenly struck with his palm.

BOOM!

A massive Palm Seal, at least three hundred meters in diameter, shot out, descending rapidly upon the ball of flesh.

"So scary, so strong, run! Let the strongest one fight... no, idiot, that’s Master... wait, no, Grandmaster... wrong, it’s Senior Brother... run, run, run..."

Sensing the danger, the many heads on the meatball all retreated into the flesh.

The moment the heads hid themselves, the muddled eyes of the old man’s head at the very top suddenly sharpened.

Facing the Palm Seal, the red Primordial Qi within its flesh Gathered, forming a semicircular Shield to block it.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The Palm Seal slammed into the meatball, forcing it back continuously and tearing up the ground.

The two streams of Primordial Qi annihilated each other where they met. Anything in the vicinity touched by the aftershock was instantly turned to dust.

When the Palm Seal dissipated, a massive, slanted trench over a thousand meters long was revealed.

A huge chunk of the Divine Silkworm Ascendant’s flesh had been obliterated.

But to be able to take a palm strike like that and not die, it truly was powerful.

If it were any of the four Saint Kings in the world today, none of them could have withstood that one palm strike from Zhang Ji.

On the flesh-cocoon, tendrils of meat squirmed as the annihilated flesh began to repair itself.

The Divine Silkworm Ascendant’s head stared at Zhang Ji as a massive amount of Primordial Qi within the meatball was mobilized and surged forth.

"Transform, transform, transform! Nine Transformations of the Celestial Silkworm, achieve immortality!"

’What a thick health bar,’ Zhang Ji thought. ’Time for another palm!’

Zhang Ji raised a hand, unleashing the same Primordial Qi, the same palm—Flower-Blooming Buddha: Extinction.

The palm’s power—purple Primordial Qi mixed with a multitude of other energetic colors—pressed down. This time it was more condensed, the palm now only a little over two hundred meters in diameter.

Although compressing the Primordial Qi in this way reduced its area-of-effect damage, it was far superior in terms of penetration and focused destruction.

"Celestial Silkworm Divine Fist!"

With that cry, a giant fist of flesh shot out from the cocoon, colliding head-on with Zhang Ji’s Palm Seal.

RUMBLE!

BOOM! RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE!

Energy annihilated itself. With the Divine Silkworm Ascendant at its epicenter, a huge, irregular crater appeared, at least three hundred meters across.

The Divine Silkworm Ascendant remained in the center, seemingly unharmed.

According to the backstory, after the Divine Silkworm Ascendant’s transformation failed, it went on to devour countless people and creatures in the Ruins Realm, continuously transforming. Each time it reformed, its appearance grew more grotesque, but in return, its power also swelled.

Aside from its massive size making it difficult to move, the enormous meatball could store hundreds of times more Primordial Qi than others at the same level.

Its durability and damage output were maxed out.

Moreover, once it reached half health, it would form a cocoon and quickly recover to full health.

For players, this boss was the absolute king of torment.

But for the current Zhang Ji, it was merely a bit tricky.

The simplest point was that it couldn’t fly.

’A complete sitting duck,’ Zhang Ji thought. ’What else is there to say?’

"Super Spirit Indication: Breaking Army!"

Purple Primordial Qi Gathered at Zhang Ji’s fingertip. He was unleashing Cyril’s ultimate technique, using his own Primordial Qi as the energy source.

In the next instant, Zhang Ji released a spiraling force of purple Primordial Qi.

WHOOSH! SQUELCH!

The Divine Silkworm Ascendant didn’t even have time to react. A layer of red Protective Primordial Qi appeared on its surface, only to be instantly shattered. The spiraling force tore through the Divine Silkworm Ascendant’s flesh, shredding and annihilating the tissue within before burrowing straight into the earth.

"As expected, when it comes to penetration, this move is the strongest!" Zhang Ji exclaimed.

’Although I’ve only just grasped how to use it and haven’t mastered its essence, I can already feel the benefits of this move.’

’Later, I’ll spend a few dozen days practicing to crystallize it into a perfected form.’

’Even the Tathagata Divine Palm will have to take a backseat for now.’

"Heretical demon, you must be purged!!"

Wounded, the Divine Silkworm Ascendant was clearly enraged. Hundreds of flesh-and-blood pipes appeared on its body—its meridians. At that moment, countless streams of Primordial Qi gathered within them and were released.

SWISH SWISH SWISH SWISH SWISH SWISH SWISH!

In an instant, thousands of Primordial Qi projectiles shot out, covering half the sky.

The corner of Zhang Ji’s mouth curled up. The air currents around him shifted, and his figure instantly flew to the other side, practically grazing past the projectiles to dodge them.

At the same time, he once again formed a sword-finger with his right hand and aimed it at the Divine Silkworm Ascendant.

WHOOSH! SQUELCH!

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH!

Stream after stream of Breaking Army Primordial Qi force was released. In a flash, dozens of basketball-sized holes were blasted into the Divine Silkworm Ascendant.

One of Zhang Ji’s attacks even shattered half of its head, but it absurdly grew a new one right back.

At this moment, the Divine Silkworm Ascendant’s instincts obviously realized it couldn’t go on like this.

"The divine tortoise’s life ends, all things decay, the Celestial Silkworm is reborn..."

Following its loud cry, countless threads of flesh and silk emerged from its body, rapidly enveloping it.

In less than three seconds, it had transformed into a cocoon of flesh.

Zhang Ji continued to use his Breaking Army Finger technique.

When they hit the cocoon, the attacks were absorbed and then deflected to the side.

"Quite something! A god-tier stalling skill, just as expected!" Zhang Ji exclaimed, then added, "But it’s still not enough!"

He raised his hand, and a smear of golden flame appeared on his fingertip.

He blew gently, and the flame floated down, landing on the cocoon.

This golden flame incinerated everything, spreading across the cocoon and covering it entirely in an instant.

FWOOM!

The flames surged, and the massive flesh cocoon began to burn. The sight was spectacular.

"HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT..."

Suddenly, the cocoon ruptured, revealing the Divine Silkworm Ascendant, its flesh re-formed within.

It was a size smaller than before, and its form had changed again.

Having lost mass during its reconstruction, it naturally couldn’t return to its previous state.

The flames burned it. It rolled and scurried about, trying to extinguish the True Solar Flame on its body.

But it was clearly futile.

It carried the flames with it, spreading them to everything in the vicinity.

The True Solar Flame even began to burn the very rocks. In a moment, the entire landscape was filled with surging flames.

Zhang Ji, however, was unaffected. He even felt comfortable.

Although the Sun Scripture itself didn’t have a high Star Level, it wasn’t because it was weak.

Rather, it was because it was more of a utility-focused art, and the bloodline-exclusive requirements were too high.

With its ability to ignite most substances and convert many things into nourishing fuel for the user, Zhang Ji felt it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to give it a rating of Epic Nine-Star.

As the flames burned, the outer layers of the meatball turned to charcoal and continuously flaked off.

It grew smaller and smaller, and its voice became clearer.

"I am the senior disciple of the Silk Heaven Sect... no, I’m the junior sister... no, no, I’m the Scripture-Imparting Elder... I am... I am the Divine Silkworm Ascendant..."

Finally, the man-sized meatball stopped moving and rolling. An old face looked toward Zhang Ji, and a voice full of exhaustion uttered one last sentence.

"Wrong... I took the wrong path... wrong..."

The flames consumed its flesh, consumed everything, revealing a jade slip made of Cyan Jade.

Zhang Ji quickly flew forward. With a thought, he retracted the True Solar Flame and used his Spirit particles to pull the jade slip toward him.

Fortunately, this jade slip was truly no ordinary object. The True Solar Flame hadn’t had enough time to damage it; instead, it had burned away all the filth on its surface, effectively sterilizing it.

Seeing the gilded words on the jade slip, Zhang Ji broke into a smile. "Finally got my hands on it. That wasn’t easy!"
