Chapter 403 - 290: The End (Part 2)

On the ground, after stomping down with one foot, Zhao Xuanqi used the rebound to launch himself forward again, charging in the direction the Bloodline Species had been knocked.

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH!!

With his Baihui Acupoint open, a vast amount of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi poured in, rapidly replenishing the Primordial Qi he had just fiercely consumed. He threw another palm strike, pressing it toward the Bloodline Species, which had yet to recover from the aftershock of the previous blow.

And it wasn’t just a single palm strike.

Zhao Xuanqi took a deep breath, and his palms began to blast out continuously.

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!

Terrifying silver light cascaded layer upon layer. His Primordial Qi shot skyward like a smoke signal as the ground continued to tremble violently.

At the same time, the veins on his body bulged as if to burst, and every inch of his muscles was pushed to its limit. Under the torrent of Primordial Qi, his body was like Xuan Iron heated to a high temperature—glowing, almost translucent.

He was challenging the very limits of his body.

Under this terrifying assault, the Bloodline Species was like a small boat tossed in a raging sea, thrown up and down by Zhao Xuanqi’s attacks. The Black Flame Strange Bird that guarded its body shattered under the relentless blows, its Black Flame extinguished like a candle in a gale.

The Unquenchable Fire could burn Life Primordial Qi, but its intensity had a limit—a limit Zhao Xuanqi’s attacks had now surpassed.

The body of Li Zhenyuan, occupied by the Bloodline Species, was breaking apart like a cracked clay doll. Crimson flesh was visible through the fissures, and even thin tendrils of flesh began to drift out.

To prevent any unforeseen accidents, Zhao Xuanqi had to use his greatest strength to utterly destroy the Bloodline Species before it could react.

And now, it seemed his goal was within reach. The power he had unleashed appeared to have exceeded the Bloodline Species’s limits.

"After merging with Li Zhenyuan’s body, I thought I would have no equal in this world."

"To think... To think it would still come to this..."

"It’s not over!!"

THUMP!! THUMP!!

Inside Li Zhenyuan’s body, a pulsating, crimson ball of flesh began to vibrate violently.

「Meanwhile, all around the world.」

Every living being under the Holy Seed System, no matter what they were doing, suddenly froze. Then, the Holy Seed and bloodline within their bodies instantly began to vibrate at the same frequency, as if resonating with the Bloodline Species.

AHHH!!

Amidst this Vibration, the lifeforms under the Holy Seed System felt extreme agony, as if something was being drained from their bodies.

「Shangjing Capital City.」

An esoteric power crossed space, converging from all corners of the world.

BOOM!! BOOM!!

The sky above churned. Ominous clouds gathered, and lightning flashed as thunder rolled.

The Celestial Dao of this world seemed to have sensed the anomaly. Zhao Xuanqi could clearly feel its gaze upon them.

SQUELCH!! SQUELCH!!

The next moment, Li Zhenyuan’s body swelled violently. From the cracks on its surface, a massive number of fleshy tentacles burst forth.

In an instant, the flesh tentacles stretched out for dozens of meters, a dense and skin-crawling sight.

These tendrils were all wreathed in the black Unquenchable Fire, and both its concentration and intensity seemed to have increased dramatically. As they exploded outward, they actually held back Zhao Xuanqi’s Silver Light Primordial Qi and swept toward him like a tidal wave.

’This is...’

Zhao Xuanqi’s expression tightened. A sense of crisis welled up in his heart, and the Primordial Qi in his body surged, unleashing his attacks at an even more terrifying speed.

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!

The Primordial Qi collided with the spreading flesh tentacles. Countless tentacles were shattered by Zhao Xuanqi’s attacks, but new ones would quickly generate in their place, as if they were endless.

The growth of these tentacles was beyond the scope of biological generation. Even with a special ability, it would be impossible to expand the life force of flesh to such a degree.

It was like cancerous cells, dividing and growing uncontrollably and infinitely.

This was the power from the Bloodline Species’s origin—the power of the Alien Source. All life under the Holy Seed System in this world was a source for this power, all of it usable by the Bloodline Species, the progenitor.

At the same time, it was the spread of this Alien Power that was destroying the order of this world, usurping the power of the world’s Celestial Dao.

BOOM!! BOOM!!

Lightning flashed in the sky. The world’s Celestial Dao sent down a thunderous tribulation, striking fiercely. However, the power that the Celestial Dao’s self-reaction could muster in such a short time was very limited.

The Celestial Dao is the manifestation of a world’s rules, operating according to specific trajectories and laws. It was nearly impossible for it to drastically break its own constraints in a short period.

"Hahahahaha!!"

"Too late, it’s too late! Although I haven’t completed my control over this world, reaching this stage is more than enough! In this world, no living being can defeat me in a direct confrontation. Li Zhenyuan couldn’t, and neither can you!!"

"But you are stronger than Li Zhenyuan in one regard—you got to see my true form. In this state, I will be marked and watched by the Celestial Dao, which will constantly send tribulations down upon me. However, that no longer matters! Besides you, there is no one left who can threaten me. After you die, the world’s fate will be sealed. Soon, I will have complete control over this world, and then even the Celestial Dao will have to obey my command!"

"Li Zhenyuan’s fate will be your fate! Since you’ve destroyed this body of mine, I’ll just use yours as a replacement! I will take your body to the very pinnacle—it is your honor!!"

The Bloodline Species laughed maniacally. As that esoteric power flowed in from all over the world, the surging flesh tentacles within its body grew even denser and larger.

An area dozens of meters wide was almost completely enclosed in a sphere of flesh tentacles. Zhao Xuanqi’s attacks could only slow their advance. But even in his Divine Sea state, with its undying properties, he still had limits. He could not maintain such a high-intensity assault forever.

He had a premonition that if these flesh tentacles got close to him, something terrible would happen.

As expected, things wouldn’t end so easily. The Bloodline Species was the Alien Source, and the power of the Holy Seed System now held sway over nearly the entire world. For the Alien Source to have developed to this extent, ending it all at its root would be no simple matter.

"A worm that can only survive by parasitizing others... and you think you’re worthy of my body?"

A sharp light glinted in Zhao Xuanqi’s eyes. Though he was in a perilous situation, the determination in his gaze did not weaken in the slightest.

He had a feeling this would happen before he made his move, but so what? Some things could not be avoided and had to be faced eventually.

Besides, no matter how strong the enemy, they could not extinguish his will to advance.

Hah!!

Silver light burst forth as the glow on his body reached its peak. Even his tough, indestructible physique could not withstand this eruption and began to show signs of Rainbow Transformation.

But in that instant of explosive power, he blasted away the flesh tentacles closing in on him. He stomped his foot, and his vibrating arms, like blades, carved a bloody path through the thorn-like mass of tentacles.

"It’s useless!! Useless!! How much longer can you last?!!"

The Bloodline Species laughed, not engaging Zhao Xuanqi head-on, but instead flickering away, intending to create more distance.

It planned to wear Zhao Xuanqi down and kill him through sheer attrition.

But at that very moment, its body suddenly stiffened. Its right hand, moving uncontrollably, suddenly raised a single finger and jabbed it into its own chest.

PFFT!

The finger plunged directly in, precisely where the Bloodline Species was located.

For a moment, although it wasn’t a fatal blow, the Bloodline Species’s unique Vibration briefly stagnated.

The endlessly proliferating, waving tentacles also paused for a moment.

And just then.

SWISH SWISH SWISH!!

Taking advantage of the opening, Zhao Xuanqi, his body radiating silver light, broke through the tangle of tentacles and appeared before it, a terrifying glint in his eyes.

At this very moment, two completely different expressions bizarrely appeared on the Bloodline Species’s shattered face.

One side showed relief, a faint, triumphant smile on its lips.

The other side was panic-stricken, its face twisted with terror and fury.

Having arrived before the Bloodline Species, Zhao Xuanqi also seemed to sense something as he met the gaze of those relieved eyes.

"Farewell!"

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!

The silver light spread, swallowing everything before him.
