Martial Ascent to Divinity-Chapter 746 - 720: The Giant Python

The collision of two Heaven-breaking Giant Umbrellas stirred up a larger umbrella-shaped white Qi.

It was formed by the convergence of all powers, including the true energy of the starry sky, the power of the Elephant Monarch, the momentum of the punch, the air, and more.

The larger umbrella-shaped white Qi surged upwards, continuously advancing, swallowing the old umbrella in the sky.

Finally, it left a long trajectory behind, reaching far into the sky, and floated at the end of the night.

It resembled a jellyfish with a diameter of several kilometers, slowly drifting.

On both sides of the Starry Sky Altar,

Zhou Leng looked down and saw his sunken chest and abdomen slowly rising, and his twisted limbs slowly straightening.

He looked up towards the opposite side.

The massive body of the Demon Suppression Elephant Monarch, from head to tail, was pierced into an empty tunnel by punching power.

When it finally hit the mountain, it shattered into a pile of pulp that flowed down.

The broken head fell at the foot of the mountain, and the two huge eyes slowly turned, looking at Zhou Leng.

"You are so strong..."

After saying that, the Demon Suppression Elephant Monarch closed its eyes.

White light descended from the sky, enveloping the Demon Suppression Elephant Monarch.

A giant elephant’s phantom flew out from the white light, flew towards Zhou Leng, and entered the wound.

"Hiss..."

In front of the Demon Suppression Elephant Monarch, Zhou Leng uttered not a word, but once the light entered his body, the wounds all over his body ruptured, and the intense pain exploded.

Zhou Leng rolled his eyes, his whole brain seemingly thrown into boiling water.

An overwhelming power surged within his body.

The power that originally belonged to the Fierce Beast Power Marvelous Body was covered by the new Elephant Monarch’s power, then spread throughout the body.

Everyone saw that under Zhou Leng’s skin, new muscle fibers grew, each as thick as a thumb.

Between the muscles, densely packed fascia appeared.

This new and aggressive tissue spread madly, completely disregarding whether Zhou Leng was a Fierce Beast.

The Fierce Beast Grandmasters were envious, never expecting that a Furless Fierce Ape could receive the highest divine gift at the first Starry Sky Altar.

The Legendary Demon Spirit Masters were three parts worried, seeing that Zhou Leng could be literally blown up by the power of the Elephant Monarch.

Because under Zhou Leng’s skin, thumb-thick muscle fibers were everywhere, completely occupying other body tissues.

One careless move could turn him into a pure muscle demon, leaving only a human outline.

Just when the Elephant Monarch’s power was proliferating madly, other forces within combined to suppress it.

It was seen that each thumb-thick muscle slowly changed, transforming into fine strands of power, merging into the original muscle fibers.

After a full half-hour, the Elephant Monarch’s power had merged throughout the body, and the wound had healed.

The body had grown wider and thicker.

Especially the arms, they were a circle larger than before.

Zhou Leng slowly stood up, gently stretching to familiarize himself with his body, and slowly walked forward.

Warm and full of power, his entire body felt like it couldn’t use its strength.

As he walked, he emitted steam.

Reaching the edge of the Starry Sky Altar, the Fierce Beasts bowed their heads to greet Zhou Leng.

After translation by the Demon Spirit Masters, it was known that Zhou Leng was now the Son of the Elephant God, the Ape of Star-Striking, and the New King of Ancient Beasts.

The Demon Spirit Masters were not surprised, as Zhou Leng had titles and identities in various realms; how could he return empty-handed from the world of Fierce Beasts?

Zhou Leng only wanted to ask why it couldn’t be the Star-Striker?

The crowd headed towards the military camp, behind which the Starry Sky Altar rose into flames, illuminating the heavens and earth.

In the military camp, the Mammoth Elders announced Zhou Leng’s new identity, and the beasts rejoiced.

The Ape of Star-Striking must defeat particularly powerful adversaries in challenges, though victory is hard to achieve, it’s possible.

The Son of God and the New King of Ancient Beasts emerge once every many years, each able to extend a large lineage, becoming a myth of an era.

Theoretically, tracing back the lineage of all Fierce Beasts leads to the New King of Ancient Beasts or the Son of God.

The army stayed for one more day, celebrating the birth of the new king.

After resting, the army continued towards the Ancestral Land.

With the news of the Demigod Chieftain of the Eight-toothed Mammoth tribe becoming the Son of the Elephant God and the New King of Ancient Beasts, the fierce beasts blocking the way decreased substantially.

In the face of thousands of fierce beasts, the Eight-toothed Mammoths ran back and forth a few times, their feet barely warm before all were dead.

The army moved swiftly and reached a point ten thousand kilometers from the starting point.

Like the location of the first Starry Sky Altar, here too was an altar surrounded by mountains.

Zhou Leng led the Grandmasters to the altar, where ten newly ascended demigods stood.

There were Twin-bodied Fierce Bears, Steel Giants, Three-headed Fierce Turtles, Platinum Dragon Lions... and at the farthest back, a Mountain Ridge Python.

All were massive demigod fierce beasts.

They lined up, silently staring at Zhou Leng.

Zhou Leng had learned on the road that this was the Power Altar.

It tested nothing but physical strength.

Zhou Leng had tried the fierce beasts’ contest of strength before and had almost knocked Xiaoba unconscious.

Strength is the foundation of fierce beasts.

On the way, the Eight-toothed Mammoth Elders repeatedly advised caution, as opponents eligible to be power sacrificers not only had pure bloodlines and immense power but were all from ancestral land tribes.

Each of them could overpower and kill a normal fierce beast of the same realm in a contest of strength.

Even though the Starry Sky Altar did not advocate killing.

Of the demigod fierce beasts that arrived here, ninety percent failed, with a mortality rate of twenty percent.

The so-called ten contests are akin to undergoing ten consecutive battles.

Every opponent present was either stronger than the Eight-toothed Mammoth or equally matched; no tribe was weaker.

"Roar..."

The Twin-bodied Fierce Bear at the front roared, two giant bears side by side, equivalent to two demigods in battle.

The Mammoth Elders, angry and resentful, cursed while explaining, with the Legendary Demon Spirit Masters translating alongside.

"Be careful, the Dual-bodied Bear can merge into one during battle, doubling its strength, and even temporarily surpassing us Eight-toothed Mammoths..."

"That Dual-bodied Bear is leading the charge deliberately targeting you, trying to give you a lesson..."

"It seems they don’t believe you’re the new king of Ancient Beasts, so they sent almost their strongest lineup from the ancestral land..."

"Of course, also because our Eight-toothed Mammoth has a deep enmity with the Dual-bodied Bear, many demigods have died at the hands of the opponent..."

Zhou Leng patiently listened, walked towards the massive altar, and beckoned to the Dual-bodied Bear.

The Dual-bodied Bear raged, planted its eight limbs firmly on the ground, accelerated its run, and at the moment of approach, its form flashed, the two bears as one.

A giant white bear far stronger than before, like a small mountain, rushed in.

Zhou Leng gathered his celestial energy, sided with his body, and met the giant bear with his shoulder. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

The two collided like two massive cannonballs.

Boom!

The Dual-bodied Bear screamed in agony, flew backward, splitting with a tearing sound mid-air, the two independent bears rolled on the ground, wailing, blood flowing everywhere.

Everyone watched dumbfounded, unmoving.

The Dual-bodied Bear has a weakness; once divided into two, it loses its core strength, never able to heal, quickly dying.

The bodies of the two giant bears slowly shrank, finally to one meter in length, like rotten apples.

The crowd turned their gaze to Zhou Leng.

After the collision, Zhou Leng hadn’t retreated a step.

Zhou Leng spread his hands, as if saying, you saw it too, it wasn’t me who killed them.

A crowd of fierce beasts looked solemn.

They had already sensed that the aura of this Furless Fierce Ape was peculiar, even though they hadn’t seen the Elephant God’s Child nor the new king of Ancient Beasts, it didn’t seem fake.

However, fierce beasts are inherently combative, no matter how strong the Furless Fierce Ape is, it doesn’t influence their battle spirit.

But still, this seems a bit too strong.

The Dual-bodied Bear, how did it just get knocked dead?

They desperately tried to recall the process just now, but ended up puzzled.

There were no visible techniques, just a pure collision, and the Dual-bodied Bear flew away.

The Steel Iron Elephant, with thick armor formed from bone and metal fusion covering his entire body, walked and shouted, "All of us belong to the Elephant family, let’s not harm our harmony, I’ll use only ninety percent of my power."

After speaking, he charged towards Zhou Leng.

"What did he say?" Zhou Leng asked.

Before the Demon Spirit Master could translate, the Steel Iron Elephant had already collided in front.

Zhou Leng ran, facing him head-on.

Boom!

The Steel Iron Elephant, as high as a nine-story building, made a loud noise, and like a rolling calabash, rolled back several kilometers before stopping.

His eyes flipped, tongue hanging out, unconscious.

The Triple-headed Tortoise hurriedly shouted, "All of us are fierce beasts, let’s speak properly, you agree, right?"

The Demon Spirit Master then translated.

Zhou Leng nodded, the Triple-headed Tortoise breathed a sigh of relief, charged directly, leaving some force at the end.

Bang!

Crunch...

Everyone stood dumbfounded, the shell of the Triple-headed Tortoise flew far away, landing amidst the mountains.

The smooth Triple-headed Tortoise shrunk on the spot, blood gushing from his back and belly, his large tortoise eyes filled with confusion.

Clearly remembered retracting into the shell at the end.

Where’s the shell?

"Next up." Zhou Leng looked at the White Platinum Dragon Lion...

Subsequently, Zhou Leng knocked away one fierce beast after another.

The elderly mammoths remained in a daze, they dared not imagine that the dry and shriveled Furless Fierce Ape, once as thin as chicken claws, had grown to surpass the realm of the Eight-toothed Mammoths.

Is the entity in the forest that terrifying?

But on second thought, having the power of the Elephant Monarch now, they found peace in it.

Finally, Zhou Leng looked at the current largest fierce beast in the Fierce Beast World, the Giant Python of the Peaks.

This giant python is a newly ascended demigod, but its body length already exceeds two hundred meters. Unlike ordinary pythons, its backbone and flesh form five small mountains, each over fifty meters high.

Whether in body length, weight, or basic power, it reigns supreme among fierce beasts.

If a contest of strength were held in the Fierce Beast World, it would typically be noted that the Giant Python of the Peaks should not participate.

The reason the Giant Python of the Peaks is strong is that, as legend has it, this planet in the Fierce Beast World is the corpse of a fallen god, and the Giant Python of the Peaks has a blood lineage connection to this god’s corpse.

When the Ten Realms were connected, unwitting demon demigods invaded the Fierce Beast World, and many became the delicacies of the Giant Python of the Peaks.

The Giant Python of the Peaks clan still reminisces the taste of demon demigods.

Placing the Giant Python of the Peaks last is mostly procedural; no matter the final result, it’s typically decided that the contestant of strength wins.

Unlike before, this time, Zhou Leng actively charged towards the Giant Python of the Peaks.

Over fifty meters high, more than two hundred meters long, density several times that of steel...

If the Demon Suppression Elephant Monarch weighed over 100 million tons, this Giant Python of the Peaks weighs no less than 1000 million tons.

Completely different leagues.

Zhou Leng mustered all his power, charged straight at the Giant Python of the Peaks.

Boom!

Zhou Leng was bounced back by the terrifying flesh mountain.

The Giant Python of the Peaks tumbled over, shook his slightly bewildered head, looked down, and found his bone broken.

He then raised his head, glanced at the Furless Fierce Ape.

Pretty strong.

Swap for a normal Giant Python of the Peaks, might have been snapped.

Zhou Leng stood up, with shoulder and chest bones all fractured complexly, slowly recovering.

The grandmasters of the Mammoth Tribe shouted excitedly, able to topple the Giant Python of the Peaks, this is the making of a contest of strength champion.
