Chapter 1144 - 452: This Is Far Too Perilous (Part 2)
[But if you can persevere to the end, waiting for you will be the Supreme Divine Technique!]
[Are you willing to accept this SSS Level mission?]
"I am willing!"
He took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
In the next moment, the sky suddenly changed.
Dark clouds gathered, and lightning and thunder flashed!
A gigantic celestial lightning bolt struck down with a roar!
"Hmm?"
The Demon God was slightly shocked, finally showing a look of astonishment.
"What’s this kid up to?"
He looked warily at Zhang Beixing, who was enveloped by celestial lightning, his brows furrowed.
Yet in the next moment, a breathtaking scene appeared before his eyes.
Golden light burst forth around Zhang Beixing, and Angel’s Wing unfolded.
An aura a hundred times stronger than before suddenly erupted!
"What... what is this power?"
The Demon God was horribly shaken, staring in disbelief.
He felt a terrifying aura, enough to destroy heaven and earth, rapidly condensing within Zhang Beixing!
Meanwhile, countless golden patterns appeared on Zhang Beixing’s skin.
Those patterns were like the laws of heaven and earth, containing vast Secret Technique.
With each lightning strike, they became clearer, dazzling magnificently!
"Celestial Punishment Body Refinement, first level!"
Zhang Beixing roared, his whole body surging with golden light.
The power of his flesh soared more than tenfold instantly!
Yet at the same time, a heart-wrenching pain also invaded his body.
The pain was absolutely beyond imagination.
As if trying to split his body and soul in two!
"Ah!!!"
Zhang Beixing screamed miserably, nearly fainting on the spot.
But in the next moment, he clenched his teeth, his eyes turning red.
With astonishing determination, he held on!
"Come on, second level!"
Amid the roar, another celestial lightning struck down.
Zhang Beixing’s body trembled violently, in unspeakable pain.
Each celestial punishment seemed to refine his soul.
Making his will powerful beyond precedent!
Like this, one level after another, celestial punishments descended continuously.
Each level more terrifying than the last.
No ordinary person could imagine such pain.
But Zhang Beixing gritted his teeth and endured.
Even if covered in wounds, nearly collapsing.
He still stood firm!
"Forty-eighth level, Celestial Punishment Body Refinement... Complete!!!"
With Zhang Beixing’s furious roar, golden light surged around him.
His entire being, like a god descending!
The aura was multiplied countless times from before!
Even the Demon God could not help but feel intense fear.
"How is it possible... how could this kid’s strength surge to such a degree instantly..."
His eyes were full of disbelief.
But more than that—panic!
He realized that the human before him was no longer the same.
No longer someone he could easily crush!
"Demon God, meet your end!!!"
Zhang Beixing suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze sharp as lightning.
In the next instant, he sprang forth, turning into a golden bolt of lightning.
In a flash, arriving right in front of the Demon God!
That speed was the ultimate.
Even the Demon God felt a chill in his heart!
"Heavenly Break Demon Palm!!!"
Zhang Beixing’s twin palms struck out, the palm wind fierce.
The world at this moment paled!
The Demon God’s face changed colors, hurriedly mobilizing Spiritual Power to defend.
But this time, he was one step too slow.
Bang!!!
Another earth-shattering collision, two streams of Power clashed once more.
But this time, the situation was vastly different!
The Demon God screamed in agony, his whole body flying backward.
Crashing heavily onto the ground, forming a large pit.
Blood spurted wildly from his mouth, half his chest caved in!
He was heavily damaged by Zhang Beixing’s palm!
"How could it be... how could I be defeated..."
The Demon God stared wide-eyed, full of terror.
He had never thought he’d be defeated at the hands of a human.
And such a resounding defeat!
"You... who exactly are you..."
The Demon God gritted his teeth, his gaze terrified.
"I am Zhang Beixing, born extraordinary, destined to ascend to the Peak of Ten Thousand Realms!"
Zhang Beixing stood proudly, his eyes surveying the world.
"How dare a mere Demon God be arrogant before me?"
"Today, I shall scatter your soul, never to reincarnate!"
Before his words fell, he suddenly soared.
Golden wings spread behind him, blocking the sky and the sun!
In that moment, the world paled.
The sun and moon dimmed, stars were obscured.
Only he, like a god descending!
"Hea... Heavenly Angel’s Might!!!"
Zhang Beixing roared, gathering terrifying power in the palms of his hands.
In an instant, the heavens crumbled and the earth shattered!
A giant golden beam of light descended from the sky.
Directly striking the Demon God’s body!
In that moment, life and death were but a thread apart.
The Demon God let out a piercing scream, his entire being engulfed by the blinding light.
When the light dissipated, his figure vanished completely.
Only leaving a charred ground, silence pervading.
The world finally returned to peace.
In the ruins, Zhang Beixing slowly descended.
He panted heavily, his expression solemn.
Despite achieving a resounding victory in that battle.
He also paid a heavy price.
His body was nearly in shambles.
Meridians severed, bones shattered.
If not for the protection of the Celestial Punishment Divine Body, he would have perished long ago.
[Congratulations to the Host, you have successfully passed the test of the Celestial Punishment Divine Body!]
The voice of the Persuasion System rang in his mind again.
[Your physical body is now completely transformed.]
[From now on impervious to blades and invulnerable to water and fire.]
[At the same time, all your attributes have greatly increased!]
[Power: 5000(+2500)
Agility: 5000(+2500)
Constitution: 5000(+2500)
Soul: 5000(+2500)]
[Moreover, during the Celestial Punishment Body Refinement, you awakened a new divine skill!]
[The divine skill "Celestial Suppression", harnesses the Power of Celestial Might to suppress all enemies!]
[Celestial Suppression (Active): By activating the Power of Celestial Might, a barrier realm can be formed within a radius of a hundred miles. Within this realm, you are the absolute ruler! Any enemy must yield beneath your feet and dare not disobey!]
Upon hearing the system’s words, Zhang Beixing’s eyes lit up.
He hadn’t expected such a massive gain from this trial!
Not only has his strength grown immensely, but he has also obtained the legendary divine skill!
Isn’t this being invincible in the world?
"Thank you, System!"
Zhang Beixing sincerely expressed his gratitude, his eyes full of excitement.
With the Persuasion System as his golden finger, what is impossible for him?
"However, Richard and Alina..."
Recalling the tragic deaths of his two dear friends, Zhang Beixing felt a pang of dull pain in his heart.
Even if the enemies were now eradicated, they could never return.
"System, is there any way... to bring them back to life?"
Zhang Beixing pleaded, his voice nearly breaking into sobs.
He truly did not want to lose his two friends just like that.
[Host, the dead cannot be revived; this is the iron law of the Heavenly Dao.]
The system spoke in a deep voice, its tone incredibly grave.
[Even I do not possess such power.]
[However, there is a method that may allow them to return to your side in another form.]
"What method?"
Zhang Beixing’s eyes brightened, and he quickly asked.
As long as he could bring them back, even as soul forms, he would be willing!
[This method is called Soul Body Reshaping.]
The system explained slowly, its tone mysterious.
[I can reshape their souls into Soul Puppets.]
[Although they have no physical form, they possess thought and consciousness.]
[However, you must give them a part of your soul.]
[In this way, they can reshape their soul bodies using your soul as a guide.]
[But this process is extremely hazardous.]
[If it fails, your soul will suffer severe damage, even annihilation!]
[And even if successful, your cultivation will drastically decrease.]
[Restoring it would be as hard as reaching the heavens!]
The system’s words left Zhang Beixing silent.
He hadn’t expected that reviving his deceased friends would require such a high price.
This was akin to cutting off his own roots, destroying his own future!
Richard and Alina were important, but wasn’t his own path equally significant?
After much hesitation, Zhang Beixing clenched his teeth.
"Even if I’m shattered to pieces, I must save them!"
"If it ruins my future, then I’ll start over!"
"As long as they can return, I’m willing to pay any price!"
He had made up his mind.
The pain of losing his closest friends, he didn’t want to experience a second time.
[Good! With your determination, I will grant your wish!]
The system’s voice was equally solemn.
[Be prepared, I’m starting!]
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Beixing felt a sharp pain in his soul.
As if an invisible hand forcefully tore his soul apart!
The pain was simply indescribable.
A hundred times more perilous than the previous celestial punishment!
Zhang Beixing screamed in pain, unable to support himself, he collapsed onto the ground.
At the same time, his vision plunged into darkness.
He didn’t know how much time had passed before he slowly regained consciousness.
Rubbing his groggy head, he instinctively looked to his side.
Only to see two blurred figures lying there quietly.
