The Limit of Flesh and Blood
ittle Zhong Chi was enveloped by numerous Golden Jade Thunder Balls, resembling electric serpents that penetrated his body in an instant.
“Ah! The thunderbolts have entered my body!”
Little Zhong Chi exclaimed in fear, wishing to immediately expel the thunderbolts from his body as he jumped up and down.
The great general, who secretly observed this scene, wished he could strangle Little Zhong Chi alive.
This child was truly shameless.
These precious Golden Jade Thunder Balls were immensely valuable and capable of driving countless powerful men crazy.
Yet, it seemed like this child didn’t even want them, truly wasting a priceless treasure.
However, Little Zhong Chi was too weak, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t shake the Golden Jade Thunder Balls even a bit.
The thunderbolts quickly took root within his body, emanating an immensely powerful force.
They began to forcefully improve Little Zhong Chi’s flesh and blood crudely.
“Ah! The thunderbolts are killing me, killing me!”
Little Zhong Chi pouted and cried out in a childish voice.
The violent improvement of his flesh and blood by the aggressive power of the Golden Jade Thunder Balls caused him great discomfort as if he were being fried in a pan of hot oil.
“Is this killing? Heaven Lord, why don’t you come and kill me with it? I want that!”
The great general, disregarding his image, was on the verge of exploding.
This child didn’t know how to appreciate anything, truly exasperating the great general.
Fortunately, during the first trial, Little Zhong Chi’s body had already reached its limit, and his ability to withstand the strain on his flesh and blood had greatly increased.
He now possessed the strength of tens of thousands of pounds in a single hand.
It seemed that the owner of the Immortal Tomb, the so-called sovereign mentioned by the great general, had already arranged everything for Little Zhong Chi.
Without the previous enhancement of his physical limits, Little Zhong Chi would have been unable to withstand the baptism of the Golden Jade Thunder Balls.
The process of the baptism of the Golden Jade Thunder Balls was lengthy, lasting for three days and three nights.
During this time, Little Zhong Chi endured immense suffering.
The violent power forcefully improved his physical body, causing indescribable pain, even more agonizing than deep-frying.
The power of the Golden Jade Thunder Balls was too strong.
Even though they took root within Little Zhong Chi’s body, continuously consuming their power to improve his flesh and blood, only half of their strength was depleted.
The majority of the power of the Golden Jade Thunder Balls remained within him, awaiting further refinement by Little Zhong Chi.
As the pain in Little Zhong Chi’s body subsided, he appeared to be reborn.
His skin was rosy, and his chubby little face was irresistibly adorable as if begging to be pinched.
“Phew!”
Little Zhong Chi let out a long sigh of relief. The three days and three nights of torment had finally passed.
His endurance during this time was truly an unparalleled test.
“Finally, it’s quiet!”
Exhausted, Little Zhong Chi gasped heavily and sat down on the ground.
“The limit of flesh and blood!”
What insight the great general possessed!
In an instant, he recognized that Little Zhong Chi, after undergoing the baptism of the Golden Jade Thunder Balls, had reached an unimaginable limit of flesh and blood.
The limit of flesh and blood was an unreachable boundary among the human clan.
In the Flesh and Blood Realm, one could lift tens of thousands of pounds with a single hand, and when both arms were combined, it would be a strength of two hundred thousand pounds.
What kind of concept was this?
Even the mighty beasts with large bodies and sharp fangs would be like small stones in Little Zhong Chi’s hands, easily swatted away for dozens of miles.
A single swing of his arms would be enough to lift a small mountain.
This was merely the physical strength of the Flesh and Blood Realm, without relying on spiritual power or the use of runic abilities.
“This child, once he grows up, will undoubtedly become a noble and talented figure in the country. It’s just a pity that so many Golden Jade Thunder Balls were wasted just to help a little child reach the limit of flesh and blood.”
The great general sighed while his heart bled at the thought of the countless Golden Jade Thunder Balls being shamefully squandered.
“Buzz!”
The sound of the seal being broken finally resounded.
Little Zhong Chi, who seemed exhausted, immediately stood up, full of energy, and shouted, “Coffin Man, Coffin Man, I’ve passed three trials. Where is my supreme treasure?”
It turned out that Little Zhong Chi had been fixated on the treasure.
Having just passed three trials, he was already impatient.
Only then did the great general suddenly realize something terrifying and thought to himself, “Damn it! Am I going to assist this little brat for a long time to come?”
At this thought, the great general’s face turned as red as a pig’s liver, even more unsightly than the waste of countless Golden Jade Thunder Balls.
Just the thought of Little Zhong Chi’s maddening behavior was enough to make the great general furious, let alone the fact that he would have to support Little Zhong Chi in his future endeavors.
“This world is too crazy!”
The great general lamented, feeling the bitterness of fate.
Little Zhong Chi felt his vision blur as a heavily armored, and a powerful man appeared before him.
However, Little Zhong Chi couldn’t help but feel that the man’s gaze was unfriendly as if he wanted to devour him.
With a terrified expression, Little Zhong Chi looked at the mighty warrior in front of him, crossed his arms, and put on an innocent look as he said, “We are both humans. If you eat me, you will be traumatized.”
“Pfft!”
The great general, who had just appeared, was directly angered to the point of spitting blood by Little Zhong Chi’s words.
He was already frustrated with the idea of supporting Zhong Chi for a long time, and now Zhong Chi, upon seeing him, actually thought he was a cannibalistic bad uncle.
It was no wonder the great general couldn’t bear it anymore.
To think that he, the great general Tong Ming, a powerful figure renowned for his exploits on the battlefield among the hundred clans, would be mistaken for a man-eating weirdo by a seemingly harmless little child who had just stopped breastfeeding.
It was no wonder he was so infuriated that he spat blood.
“Little one, don’t be afraid. Tell Uncle your name,” the great general Tong Ming tried to suppress his anger as he pretended to be a kind old man, softly asking Little Zhong Chi.
In the eyes of young Zhong Chi, Tong Ming appeared to be a despicable uncle who specialized in deceiving children.
This made Zhong Chi even more cautious, believing that this uncle in front of him had malicious intentions, perhaps even wanting to devour him alive.
Seeing Zhong Chi’s disdainful expression towards him, the innocent and pitiful Tong Ming wished he could immediately draw his sword and end his life to repay the grace of his country’s nurturing.
“Damn it! Is it easy for me? I have waited countless years to protect this Immortal Tomb. But now that I have finally obtained freedom, I am treated as a cannibalistic monster!”
Tong Ming was completely subdued by Zhong Chi, how could one be so shamelessly and innocently insulted a loyal and righteous person?
Was there no justice in this world?
Finally, Tong Ming managed to convince Zhong Chi.
And the method to persuade Zhong Chi turned out to be just two simple words— supreme treasure!
Upon hearing the words “supreme treasure”, Zhong Chi’s eyes immediately lit up.
Regardless of whether Tong Ming was a cannibalistic monster or not, he approached him without hesitation.
“Greedy!”
Tong Ming helplessly muttered, finally realizing that his previous thoughts were not wrong at all.
This child was too similar to his country’s ruler, and he truly suspected that this little child might be a descendant of his ruler, fully inheriting the ruler’s greed.
Tong Ming finally managed to explain who he was and told Zhong Chi how to obtain the treasure.
As he was about to leave, Zhong Chi revealed an adorable smile and uttered four words that made Tong Ming want to spew blood.
“Thank you, Coffin Man!”
It turned out that after Tong Ming explained for so long, Zhong Chi didn’t listen at all and still mistook him for a Coffin Man.
Zhong Chi followed the coffin and continued upwards until he reached the end, where he saw a massive throne.
The throne was adorned with numerous terrifying ancient beast patterns that instilled fear in anyone who looked at them.
Although they were called patterns, Zhong Chi couldn’t help but feel that the ancient beasts on the patterns were vivid and seemed as if they were about to come to life.
The five-clawed golden dragon soared through the clouds, the colorful fire phoenix bathed in an endless sea of fire, and the ferocious beast Taotie opened its blood-filled mouth, intimidating all directions...
On the throne, there was a magnificent and exquisite glass golden goblet.
The coffin that could be placed here was naturally extraordinary.
Looking from top to bottom, it resembled a heavenly ladder, layer upon layer, with smaller coffins as one descended.
Zhong Chi was immensely shocked by the scene before him.
It was nothing like a gloomy tomb, but rather a magnificent spectacle, resplendent with gold and jade, exuding extreme luxury. It was truly a rare treasure trove.
After a brief moment of shock, Zhong Chi didn’t forget about the treasure he had been longing for.
With a swift movement, he jumped onto the throne like a nimble monkey.
Then, with another leap, he landed on the golden goblet, where he encountered a majestic figure.
This figure wore a yellow robe and a crown, an extremely handsome man.
Although his eyes were closed and he was lying motionless in the coffin, he exuded a terrifying aura of a king.
“Is this really a person who has been dead for countless years? But why is his body preserved so perfectly? If I didn’t know, I would think he was just sleeping!”
Zhong Chi widened his watery eyes, his chubby face filled with astonishment.
So, this was what immortality meant!
This was the first time Zhong Chi learned that immortality truly existed.
It brought an unparalleled impact to his young mind, planting the seed of longing.
“I, too, must become an immortal! That way, I can protect my clan forever.”
Zhong Chi said with a smile, yet he still didn’t fully understand the meaning of immortality.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhong Chi finally jumped towards the massive coffin, wanting to obtain his treasure.
However, as he leaped, it was as if he had collided with an impenetrable city wall.
His forehead instantly formed a large bump, preventing him from entering the coffin.
How could an imperial coffin be so easily accessible? Just this restriction alone could block countless saints and geniuses, causing gods to bleed and demons to wail.
“Ouch! That hurts.”
Zhong Chi rubbed the bump on his forehead, quickly recovering as his flesh and blood had already reached their peak state.
Such a minor injury could easily heal.
“Child, you have finally arrived!”
Just as Zhong Chi was puzzled, a ray of light shone from the coffin, revealing a figure.
This figure looked exactly like the man with the crown inside the coffin.
Every gesture and movement exuded an imperial aura, evoking a sense of worship in people’s hearts.
