7: Landing on a storm star, starting with 300 times the gravity!
Ao Shang went as far as to directly condense a massive spatial magic mirror in the void, which clearly broadcasted the scenes of Storm Star.
He wanted to see with his own eyes how this so-called new younger brother would die a miserable death.
Storm Star.
This was a world abandoned by the gods.
In the dark red sky, there was no sun or moon, only never-ending lightning.
Each bolt of lightning was as thick as a mountain range, carrying terrifying energy capable of instantly evaporating steel as they tore through the firmament.
"Rumble!"
The deafening thunder was the only BGM on this planet.
In the atmosphere, dense blood-colored clouds churned, raining down highly corrosive acid rain.
On the ground was an endless black Gobi desert, carved into various hideous shapes by the violent winds.
"Swish—"
Su Jue's tiny body, like a meteorite, fell from a spatial rift high in the sky.
Three hundred times the terrifying gravity instantly acted upon him!
For any other Bone Refining Realm martial artist, or even a Marrow Cleansing Realm expert, their bones would be instantly crushed to powder and their internal organs would burst under this gravitational force.
But Su Jue was different.
His body, reshaped by the Saint King's Essence Blood and having devoured the energy of stars and Stellar Cores, had long since surpassed the mundane realm.
"Crack... crack..."
Yet, under the terrifying pressure, his bones still made sounds of being overstrained.
[Warning! Ultra-high gravity environment detected! Host's bone density is insufficient; minor fractures are appearing!]
['Primary Demonic Dragon Physique' stress-activated! Mobilizing 'Earth Origin Power' within the body to strengthen bones!]
A surge of earthy yellow radiance instantly erupted from Su Jue's body, covering his entire skeleton.
Those bones that were about to shatter began to heal at a visible rate, becoming denser and tougher!
"Boom!"
A loud explosion.
Su Jue smashed into the hard black Gobi, creating a crater dozens of meters in diameter.
Dust filled the air.
Inside the Ten Thousand Dragon Fortress, the giant dragons watching this scene through the spatial magic mirror burst into laughter.
"I told you! He fell straight to his death!"
"Three hundred times gravity—how could a human Infant possibly withstand it?"
A satisfied smile appeared on Ao Shang's face.
This stain was finally erased.
However, in the next second, his smile froze on his face.
In the center of the crater, the dust cleared.
Su Jue was wobbling as he climbed out of the pit.
The small clothes Ao Yuan had manifested using Dragon Qi were tattered, but his body, aside from being a bit dusty, was actually unharmed!
He even reached out a small hand and patted the dust off himself with a face full of disdain.
"..."
"..."
Inside the Ten Thousand Dragon Fortress, there was dead silence.
All the giant dragons looked like ducks being choked by the neck; their laughter stopped abruptly.
"He... he's fine?"
"How is this possible! His physical strength... is comparable to a dragon hatchling in the Bone Refining Realm!"
"What the hell! Is he really human?"
Ao Yuan breathed a heavy sigh of relief, a proud smile appearing on his dragon face.
As expected of my son!
A flash of surprise also crossed Elizabeth's golden dragon eyes.
She had expected Su Jue to endure, but she hadn't expected it to be so easy.
On Storm Star.
Little Su Jue stood steady and began to observe this strange world.
[Analyzing environment...]
[Atmospheric composition: 71% Nitrogen, 22% Sulfur Oxides, 7% unknown corrosive gases...]
[Warning: Corrosive gases can cause persistent lung damage to carbon-based lifeforms. Host, please activate internal breathing or use Protective Aura for protection.]
[Ambient Temperature: Surface 112 degrees Celsius.]
[Energy Radiation: High-intensity lightning magnetic radiation, slight interference to the soul.]
[Comprehensive Evaluation: Extremely harsh survival environment.]
Su Jue furrowed his tiny brow.
This place smells bad.
And it's so noisy.
He didn't like it.
"Crash—"
The blood clouds in the sky began to converge; a torrential acid rain was about to fall.
[Warning! High-concentration acid rain clouds detected, expected to arrive in thirty seconds. Acid rain pH 0.5, can instantly dissolve steel.]
[Host is advised to find shelter immediately!]
Find a place to hide from the rain?
Su Jue looked around; the endless black Gobi was bare, without a single blade of grass.
Where was there any shelter?
[Scanning initiated, searching nearby area...]
[3.7 kilometers to the front-left, a natural cave has been discovered.]
[8.1 kilometers to the back-right, an underground rift has been discovered.]
[Plan generated: Heading to the front-left cave is the optimal choice.]
Su Jue did not hesitate, moving his two short legs to run "patter-patter" toward the front-left.
Under three hundred times gravity, every movement was incredibly difficult.
But as the Earth Origin Power within his body continued to circulate, he could feel himself rapidly adapting to the environment.
From struggling to walk at first to a quick trot later, it took less than ten minutes.
"???" This adaptability left the giant dragons in front of the magic mirror in silence once again.
They remembered their own pathetic states during their first gravity trials. Looking at Su Jue... comparing a human to a dragon was enough to drive a dragon to madness.
The acid rain arrived as expected.
Bean-sized raindrops smashed onto the ground, making a "sizzle" sound and giving off clouds of white smoke.
The layer of pale gold Protective Aura on Su Jue's skin was also being rapidly consumed under the corrosion of the acid rain.
He sped up.
Finally, just before his protective Protective Aura was completely corroded, he rushed into the cave indicated by the system.
The cave wasn't large, only a few dozen square meters. The entrance was half-covered by a boulder, making it a decent shelter from the rain.
The inside of the cave was dry and quiet.
Su Jue breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on his bottom.
From the small spatial storage bag Ao Yuan had left him, he pulled out that half-eaten Stellar Core, preparing to replenish some energy.
But just then.
"Hiss, hiss..."
A scalp-numbing rubbing sound came from the deep shadows of the cave.
Su Jue's movements paused.
[Warning! Lifeform detected approaching!]
[Species: Storm Crystal Scorpion (Juvenile)]
[Realm: Bone Refining Realm, Third Stage]
[Abilities: Poisonous Stinger, High-frequency Sonic Vibrations, Carapace Defense.]
[Analyzing weaknesses...]
[Weakness locked: The 17th joint of the carapace connection is the location of the nervous system center; defense is weakest there.]
From the shadows, a monster three meters long, pitch-black and looking like a scorpion, slowly crawled out.
Its two massive pincers shimmered with a metallic cold light, and the stinger behind it glowed with an eerie green light in the dimness.
A pair of blood-red compound eyes... stared fixedly at Su Jue.
And... the Stellar Core in his hand.
To it, that Stellar Core was a supreme treasure containing endless energy.
And Su Jue was merely a smaller piece of food standing in front of the actual food.
"Hiss!"
The Storm Crystal Scorpion let out a shrill shriek, opened its two giant pincers, and turned into a black shadow, lunging fiercely at Su Jue!
