Martial Arts Genius with Proficiency System

Chapter 966: Chapter 428: Jia Xun’s Skull, the Cause and Effect of Becoming a God

The pitch-black scales shimmered with an imposing cold light, and each scale was engraved with mysterious ancient patterns, captivating at just a glance.

Neither quite a dragon nor a snake, its appearance didn’t feel the least bit strange but instead carried an inherent unique aura.

Deeper than ancient, more majestic than sacred.

The word "powerful" was inadequate to describe this creature. Just glimpsing a small part of it made Lin Long completely abandon any thought of resistance.

The terrifying pressure from the bloodline continuously oppressed his Heart and Spirit, his soul. He even envied those prodigies who uttered only a scream before dying swiftly.

At least, they didn’t have to endure this feeling.

This pure sense of oppression, as if a towering Mount Tai was pressing down on an ant, and the ant, which should be crushed immediately, survived under the influence of some power, feeling the collapse and despair of Mount Tai pressing down on him every second, every moment.

At this moment, Lin Long only felt himself as the ant beneath Mount Tai.

His mind had crashed, unable to think of any way to survive.

And then....

"Hehe~"

Lin Long let out a dry, cold laugh, his gaze passing over this ancient creature that had appeared out of nowhere, looking at the calmly standing Su Tu.

"Meeting you in this lifetime truly brings despair."

The moment he finished speaking, Lin Long suddenly erupted. His entire body became covered in blue-gold scales as a force resembling starlight burst within him.

Buzz buzz buzz!!

The dazzling starlight, the instant it erupted, actually allowed Lin Long to break through the "Mount Tai" in his heart, intending to surpass the creature in front of him and charge towards Su Tu!!!

This is the contest of a great era, the road to Ascension to Divinity. I am the Divine Son condensed by the power of a race. I may be weaker than others in skills and strength, I can die, I can lose.

But I cannot wait for death!!! I can only die fighting!!

If I cannot reach the peak of the mountain, then let me see how terrifyingly strong this Human Race, most hopeful to stand at the mountain peak, really is!

Lin Long roared in his heart. At this moment, he cared for nothing else, even if it meant death, to finally know the gap between himself and those at the mountain peak.

And the Starlight Power surrounding him, from which it came, even he didn’t know.

But this power was indeed strong. It actually allowed him to avoid the dragon-snake creature, rushing directly towards Su Tu, and in the blink of an eye, he was already in front of Su Tu.

At this moment, a trace of astonishment flashed in Su Tu’s eyes as Lin Long’s fist already roared out.

"So!! A monster like you can also be surprised by my power!"

Lin Long roared furiously, endless star seas surging on his fist, as if countless stars were falling from the heavens, dragging the entire space into a realm of primitive, chaotic starlight seas.

The power of this punch was incredible, terrifying to the extreme, delivered with astonishing speed, the fist crashing towards Su Tu’s head.

But Su Tu stood there as if he hadn’t reacted, not dodging or evading, allowing the punch to fall.

A fierce determination emerged in Lin Long’s eyes. With that creature present, he absolutely couldn’t survive. This punch, charged with a do-or-die determination, even if it couldn’t kill Su Tu, injuring him would be good.

However, just at the moment this mighty punch was about to land...

Roar!!!

A dragon’s roar suddenly exploded, in an instant, time seemed to stutter for a moment, and then space warped briefly..

Boom!!!

The entire space felt as if it had collapsed, unimaginable gravity instantly bore down. Lin Long quickly condensed all his strength around him, barely maintaining himself from being crushed into pulp.

He couldn’t even move, his entire being frozen in the position just after throwing the punch.

And his fist was less than a hair’s breadth from Su Tu’s face.

Su Tu slightly tilted his head, looking at Lin Long in front of him, a thoughtful look in his eyes, while a bitter smile appeared on Lin Long’s face.

It turns out Su Tu hadn’t failed to react, but this power within Lin Long, from which even he didn’t know where it came, had sparked his interest.

He merely wished to see what Lin Long could achieve.

He didn’t dodge or evade because he knew full well he couldn’t be touched...

"To fail the dragon! To fail the dragon! For my debut reflection to embarrass me so greatly in front of Big Brother!!"

The dragon-snake creature roared as it charged.

Its pitch-black tail slammed down with mighty force, black thunder rumbling above, forming frost to directly crush Lin Long.

But before its tail could fall.

Swoosh~

The aura around Lin Long began to rapidly wither, his once youthful and lively face quickly enveloped in wrinkles, skin sagging, the aura old, then his whole being hunched over, Life Fire extinguished, lifespan depleted.

In an instant, his form collapsed, transforming into a small stone fish sculpture, falling to the ground.

This is the characteristic of their race, once their lifespan runs out, they turn into stone fish sculptures; hence their race is also known as the Stone Fish Race.

"What!! Just died like that?? Where does that leave my dignity, not acceptable, I will bring you back to life, only to have you die again!!"

The dragon-snake creature looked at the stone fish sculpture on the ground, puffing in anger.

Several scales on its neck began to glow, a light giving off a sense of mystical mystery, with a breath of time flowing within.

"Celestial Extremes, stop messing around."
