One Pound Meat, One More Attribute Point

Chapter 446: Chapter 370: Destruction Power, Destruction Furnace

Tong Shan Great Saint’s face wore a blank expression, his gaze drifting before refocusing after a while, landing on Nangong Yue.

He recognized her and spoke, “Nangong Sect Master, what brings you to me?”

Nangong Yue bowed her head and said, “I wonder if the Great Saint remembers our previous agreement.”

Tong Shan Great Saint’s expression became serious, “Of course.”

Though the aura around him was unremarkable, it seemed to blend seamlessly with the surroundings and the earth.

Yet Tong Shan Great Saint’s voice was booming, sounding like two enormous boulders grinding against each other on a mountainside.

Merely speaking caused the ground to rumble, ancient trees hundreds of meters tall around him toppled, thick smoke rose, and myriad beasts were restless with fear. Seeing this, Nangong Yue was shocked; compared to their last meeting, Tong Shan Great Saint’s strength had clearly increased.

Thinking about this…

As a big figure in the Demon Path, Nangong Yue maintained a respectful demeanor in front of Tong Shan Great Saint, and she took this moment to explain in detail the events that had occurred.

Nangong Yue sighed and said, “That Demon Dragon has truly overstepped its bounds, I hope the Great Saint can uphold justice for me.”

"Hmm, is that so?” Tong Shan Great Saint frowned slightly but did not agree immediately.

Nangong Yue was stunned for a moment.

Thinking that Tong Shan Great Saint was intimidated by the Demon Dragon’s power, she hesitantly asked, “Does the Great Saint feel there is something inappropriate?”

"Do you think I’m afraid of this Demon Dragon’s reputation, unwilling to fulfill the agreement?” Tong Shan Great Saint retorted.

"This

Nangong Yue did not expect the seemingly simple and honest Tong Shan Great Saint to see right through her thoughts.

She immediately became somewhat flustered, saying, “Junior does not dare.”

"Haha!” Tong Shan Great Saint laughed heartily, not dwelling on this matter.

He explained his hesitation, “Although the Northern Border Demon Dragon is indeed prominent, it is just a junior before me. The reason I hesitate to agree lightly is that it would mean taking advantage of someone else’s peril. Even if I ultimately win, such actions would tarnish the reputation of the Great Saint.”

"It was indeed shortsighted of junior,” Nangong Yue said with a long sigh of relief and hurriedly spoke.

"Since I’ve promised to help you within my abilities, I will not go back on my word,” Tong Shan Great Saint pondered and said, “How about this, since you have a grievance with that Demon Dragon, I will challenge him to a duel before the heavenly tribulation arrives. Whether I succeed or fail, we will consider this favor repaid. What do you think?”

Although this was not the solution Nangong Yue hoped for, Tong Shan Great Saint’s willingness to uphold his promise was already very accommodating. At this moment, she did not dare utter another word of objection.

Nangong Yue bowed deeply, saying, “I defer to the Great Saint’s decision!”

"Um!” Tong Shan Great Saint nodded slightly.

While this matter was thus settled, Nangong Yue looked around, her face carrying a trace of confusion, yet she did not leave.

"Great Saint

Nangong Yue respectfully said, “Junior has another query that I do not understand.”

"Speak,” Tong Shan Great Saint’s disposition was good.

Even though his favor was now spent, he still treated Nangong Yue as a friend.

Indeed, due to his nature, Tong Shan Great Saint had faced many betrayals and crises during his cultivation. Using his inherent impressive defensive power, he had always managed to turn danger into safety. Through all these petty squabbles, his original intentions remained unchanged. With his divine body, he had managed to earn the esteemed title of Great Saint in the highly competitive Central State.

"I remember the Great Saint despises damp and malarial places, so why are you now residing and cultivating in this rainforest?” Nangong Yue asked, puzzled.

Tong Shan Great Saint’s true form is a copper furnace in a temple.

Objects made of copper, when in damp environments, tend to rust easily.

With Tong Shan Great Saint’s current cultivation level, such an issue wouldn’t occur. But just like how people despise feces, this aversion is ingrained, and no accomplished martial arts master enjoys soaking in a cesspool daily.

"Nangong Sect Master, to be truthful, my reason for being here is to avoid disaster, fearing being dragged into a massive vortex,” Tong Shan Great Saint replied.

"Avoid disaster!?”

Nangong Yue’s mouth fell open in surprise.

For the first time in front of Tong Shan Great Saint, she seemed a bit out of sorts.

Tong Shan Great Saint had impressive defensive capabilities, capable of withstanding attacks from Heavenly Awakening experts and roamed unchecked in the competitive Central State.

But now, merely upon hearing some rumors, he chose to stay far away, which was beyond Nangong Yue’s expectations. What exactly had happened in Central State?

"Junior is confused and seeks clarity from the Great Saint!” Nangong Yue said solemnly, bowing deeply.

Tong Shan Great Saint didn’t keep her in suspense and explained, “The Great Zhou Dynasty has embarked on ten celestial campaigns in the Lands of Immortality, seeming glorious, yet also sowed seeds of danger. Now, as Emperor Wu’s life approaches its end and no one is there to succeed him, those mighty beings once provoked on the other side of the Mythical Battlefield will not let this opportunity slip by.”

The mighty beings Tong Shan Great Saint referred to… Nangong Yue’s pupils shrunk slightly, unable to help but ponder.

It seemed as if she sensed the confusion on her face.

Tong Shan Great Saint laughed heartily and said, “An ordinary Demon God is naturally not qualified. Nangong Sect Master, your thoughts are correct. I have detected the aura of Destruction Powers from the Mythical Battlefield, and not just one.”

"Hisss

Nangong Yue’s pupils sharply constricted, then she shook her head, sighing, “No wonder.”

She knew the situation in Central State wasn’t optimistic, but she didn’t expect it to deteriorate to this extent, feeling as if a storm was about to break.

Even the plan to conspire against Su Heng was unconsciously much diluted by the imminent crisis.

"To be able to deter several Destruction Powers from recklessly acting, even with a dying body, it seems that the rumors were true. Many years ago, Emperor Wu had already broken through to a realm above the Earth Immortal, and it seems he has come quite far in this realm,” Nangong Yue remarked.

Tong Shan Great Saint nodded, “I had once seen him from a distance on the Mythical Battlefield.”

"The strength of that person is indeed inconceivable Tong Shan Great Saint fell into contemplation, finally sighing, “High mountains are admired from afar, and no distance is unreachable.”

The topic ended in silence.

Tong Shan Great Saint seemed to remember something, then earnestly warned, “The situation in Central State may seem stable now, but it is actually undercurrents surging, ready to burst at any moment. Once a great disaster arrives, even if you are an Earth Immortal strong enough to undergo Blood Rebirth, you’d still be an insignificant bubble under these overwhelming waves. Unless absolutely necessary, do not step into it lightly, lest hundreds of years of hard cultivation come to naught.”

"Thank you for the guidance, Great Saint!” Nangong Yue’s face showed gratitude, and she deeply bowed again, “The junior will keep this in mind.”

"Mhm.” Tong Shan Great Saint nodded and said, “If there’s nothing else, you may leave first.”

"When the right opportunity arises, just let me know,” Tong Shan Great Saint said.

"The junior takes leave.”

Nangong Yue transformed into a stream of black light and left from this lush rainforest.

Meanwhile, Tong Shan Great Saint, amidst a rumbling sound, once again turned into an ordinary large boulder, drawing power from the Earth Vein for cultivation.

…

…

…

Demon Suppression Tower, in a dimly lit underground chamber.

Su Heng was clad in a white robe, holding a bloody knife, splitting open the chest and abdomen of a female Demon Descendant.

The snow-white skin, yellow fat, and the dark red muscles beneath, followed by a mass of continuously writhing organs. Compared to the petite physique of the female Demon Descendant, Su Heng’s overly large palm was obviously not suitable for this delicate work.

But that was okay. The Gravity he controlled was like an invisible soft palm, seeping into the body of the female Demon Descendant like flowing water, quickly identifying the key nodules.

Swish!

Su Heng spread his fingers.

Under his Metal Manipulation ability, the sharp blade forged from Active Metal flew out of his hand.

The moment the blade entered the Demon Descendant’s body.

The Demon Descendant suddenly widened her eyes, eyeballs filled with blood vessels, even two streams of blood rolling down her fair cheeks, hysterically shouting, “I… it hurts so much!”

"It’s so uncomfortable, let me… die!”

Su Heng frowned slightly, sighing, and comforted in a somewhat helpless tone, “Please cooperate with my work.”

He spread his fingers and gently wiped on the cheeks of the Demon Descendant.

Accompanied by the effect of the Seed of Destruction, the Demon Descendant’s lips suddenly grew together.

Her originally rosy lips appeared as if they had completely disappeared from her face, the female Demon Descendant’s eyes widened, her face full of panic, her breathing hurried, yet unable to make any sound, and the struggle of her body diminishing.

"Good!” Su Heng clapped his hands, a satisfied expression on his face.

With the experimental subject forced into silence, the work that followed was much easier. The silver-white scalpel followed the wound into the Demon Descendant’s body, darting like a fish, pausing near the heart area.

A dark purple tumor, slightly smaller than the heart, was growing on the bifurcated aorta.

The tumor was also continuously swelling and contracting.

It looked similar to a Second Heart on a Dragon Guard’s body, but it was not.

In the records of the Demon Descendants, this tumor was officially called the “Destruction Furnace,” whose effect was to generate a innate flame that could damage enemies at the soul level. Solban, in his first encounter with Auris, had an arm directly severed by this talent. Even then, as a standard Earth Immortal, Solban could not recover from the state of a severed limb.

It wasn’t until he met Su Heng and received the help of the Tribulation Crossing Lotus’s medicinal effects.

That he finally returned to his peak.

Click!

With a crisp sound.

The dark purple tumor was forcibly removed, squeezed out of the internal organs, floating into the open palm of Su Heng.
