I Pick up a Lost Godhood

Chapter 411: Chapter 394: Storming the Dragon Sect

Everyone nodded. Ji Rushan walked up to the giant gate, spat into his hands a few times, and stretched his body. The arm that had just been pierced by the Exotic Beast now only had a faint scar, so it seemed the injury wasn’t severe.

With a deafening roar, Ji Rushan’s body instantly swelled, and he transformed into a giant.

This was the inevitable evolutionary path for Body Cultivators. At the absolute limit, a Body Cultivator would become a Warrior. While they might not be able to achieve immortality and ascend as a celestial, they could attain an undying body.

This was also Ji Rushan’s goal.

Having transformed into a giant over ten meters tall, Ji Rushan was clearly getting serious.

He let out an earth-shattering roar and slammed both his arms against the massive stone gate.

BOOM...

The stone gate didn’t budge an inch. Ji Rushan bared his teeth and let out a furious howl. Everyone there had a strong sense of pride. Although Ji Rushan hadn’t objected to Wang Meng coming along, he had thought it would be best for someone of Wang Meng’s strength to leave and not become a burden. Instead, it was Wang Meng who had helped him get here. The memory of Wang Meng’s sincerity was still fresh in his mind, making Ji Rushan feel particularly ashamed.

BOOM...

Ji Rushan’s feet sank into the ground. He was putting his all into it now. This was a matter of face; if he couldn’t even handle a simple feat of strength, he’d have wasted his time as a Body Cultivator.

But no matter how hard Ji Rushan pushed, the Dragon Gate remained motionless.

"What a waste of all that muscle," Chen Zhuhua said lightly.

Ji Rushan’s expression turned ugly. It was hard to tell if it was from exhaustion or from Chen Zhuhua’s sarcastic remark.

He was the only Body Cultivator present and had the greatest physical strength, so it was indeed a bit humiliating that he couldn’t move the gate. Most importantly, Ji Rushan was very proud. After receiving help from the weakest member of the group, Wang Meng, he felt he had to do something to prove himself.

Ji Rushan’s mountain-like body took two steps back, making the ground rumble. He took a deep breath, and all the muscles in his body tensed. With another explosive roar, his right arm swelled to the thickness of a colossal stone pillar and viciously slammed into the stone gate.

BOOM...

A flash of light erupted from the stone gate, and a faint golden glow appeared on its surface. Ji Rushan was thrown backward, crashing heavily onto the ground with a loud RUMBLE.

Everyone scrambled to get out of the way. That blow had injured Ji Rushan quite badly. The full force of his own attack had been reflected back at him. Even for a Body Cultivator, that was more than enough to handle.

Ji Rushan’s form gradually shrank back to normal. His aura was still in disarray. He glanced at the others and shook his head slightly. Though proud, he clearly knew this was something he couldn’t handle.

Lin Jinghao walked up and caressed the stone gate. "Heh, it’s a Dragon Pattern. Barbaric Power won’t get you inside."

Lin Jinghao was clearly very interested in Mingren. "Brother Mingren, the Holy Light Demon Collapse Body is one of the omnipotent Ten Great Sacred Bodies. Do you have a way?"

Mingren smiled faintly. "Brother Lin, you’re too kind. I’ve only just acquired my Holy Statue. How could I have a solution?"

"Let me give it a try!" The one who volunteered was none other than Chen Zhuhua, who had just been mocking Ji Rushan.

Although Wang Meng had helped them, it was obvious Master Wang had still underestimated the Heart of Destiny. Chen Zhuhua and the others didn’t take Wang Meng seriously at all. In their eyes, even Mingren, with his Holy Light Demon Collapse Body, was just a lucky upstart who’d stumbled into good fortune.

Ji Rushan sneered, "Let’s all see the Great Divine Techniques of the Qingyang Daoist Sect."

Chen Zhuhua still wore a proud expression, while Meii Youqing looked completely confident in her beloved.

A flash of light appeared in front of Chen Zhuhua, and a black-and-blue Spirit Beast materialized. It looked a bit like a Cow Demon.

"Heh, so this is the ultimate trump card of the Qingyang Daoist Sect. I’m truly enlightened," Ji Rushan couldn’t help but say sarcastically.

"A Mountain-Bashing Beast!!"

While the others were still confused, Lin Jinghao spoke up in surprise.

Pride filled Chen Zhuhua’s face. "Brother Lin is indeed knowledgeable. This is a Mountain-Bashing Beast that my master obtained during a fortuitous encounter!"

Chen Zhuhua looked smugly at Ji Rushan.

Wang Meng was speechless. ’The competitiveness of these disciples from famous Sects is just too much. And they don’t care about the time or place.’

The Mountain-Bashing Beast was definitely a top-tier Spirit Beast. In the Great Yuan Realm, it was rare for Cultivators to use Spirit Beasts in battle. This was mainly because the Spirit Beasts they carried were usually juveniles they had raised themselves, and their combat power was no match for that of an adult beast. The exceptions were those of extremely high quality, like this Mountain-Bashing Beast or a Nine Heavens Fire Simurgh, whose juvenile forms were already incredibly powerful.

Unlike Human Cultivators, Spirit Beasts took a very long time to mature—a process most Cultivators couldn’t afford to wait for. As for taming an adult Spirit Beast, that was something perhaps only the Ten Great Sects had the power to do. It was no different from confronting a Giant Dragon.

Lin Jinghao nodded slightly, opening his folding fan with a smile. "Brother Chen, your Mountain-Bashing Beast’s markings are vibrant. Its bloodline appears to be quite pure. It’s worth a try."

Chen Zhuhua smiled proudly. Receiving praise from the Young Master of the No Illusion Demon Sect was indeed a great honor.

"Meng, smash this gate open!"

The seemingly unremarkable Mountain-Bashing Beast’s eyes suddenly flew wide open.

MOO...

White steam snorted from its massive nostrils. It kicked up its four hooves and charged toward the stone gate with a thunderous RUMBLE.

Its momentum was even more ferocious than Ji Rushan’s had been earlier.

As its name suggested, the Mountain-Bashing Beast was a powerful Exotic Beast capable of splitting mountains and parting seas. A pure-blooded adult Mountain-Bashing Beast could even be classified as a Divine Beast.

Although the one before them was a juvenile, its power was not to be underestimated. It was clear the Qingyang Daoist Sect had spent a considerable amount of rare treasures on it, making its strength abundant.

BOOM...

With that one charge, the seemingly unbreakable stone gate actually trembled slightly. This made Ji Rushan’s expression turn quite sour. A dignified expert from the Celestial Rainbow Sect was actually less effective than a mere beast.

The Dragon Pattern Array on the stone gate clearly hadn’t stopped the Mountain-Bashing Beast. This was because the beast was born with the ability of Breaking Evil, making things like Array Techniques fundamentally ineffective against it.

The Mountain-Bashing Beast slowly backed away and launched another fierce charge. After another earth-shaking impact, the stone gate trembled again. The beast was also thrown back several steps by the recoil, letting out a low, muffled roar as blood seemed to seep from its head.

Chen Zhuhua’s heart ached watching this. Two full-power strikes had failed to break open the gate, only managing to make it tremble. ’This...’

"Heh, Brother Chen, it looks like your Spirit Beast isn’t being fed well. Is it hungry? It doesn’t seem to have much strength," Ji Rushan said.

"Meng, break it open!"

Chen Zhuhua was extremely conscious of his pride. At his command, the slightly staggering Mountain-Bashing Beast steadied itself again. It let out a muffled roar and pawed at the ground. This time, its preparation was clearly much longer, and the white steam snorting from its nostrils was even thicker.

ROAR...

Following its master’s explosive shout, the Mountain-Bashing Beast desperately charged the stone gate. Its eyes were bloodshot, and a faint green light emanated from the top of its head.

RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE...

The Mountain-Bashing Beast’s body tumbled through the air before crashing to the ground. The stone gate shook violently, but still, it did not open.

Chen Zhuhua quickly rushed to the Mountain-Bashing Beast’s side. He checked on his precious Spirit Beast, fed it a Beast Pill, and then recalled it.

Ji Rushan didn’t continue his taunts; there was no point. The Mountain-Bashing Beast’s power was truly formidable. If nothing else, it could hit harder than he could. But even so, it had only managed to make the stone gate tremble.

(Huang Yi’s Pang Pang has started a new book. I remember back in the day, I’d read his novels day and night. As a result, my ranking on the final exams that term plummeted by a hundred spots. Those were truly bleak, dark times—half heaven, half hell, a bit like Mingren. But no matter what, it’s an unforgettable memory.
