187: Chapter 187 The Opportunity of the World-Destroying Dark Fang Bear

In Jianghai City, while Lu Zheng was absorbed in his fist technique, the Great Mountain was also experiencing a period of turmoil.

The Evolved Beasts within the Great Mountain were trembling with fear.

And the source of this turmoil was actually that newly ascended overlord-level giant snake.

"Bear King, there is something I need to tell you."

Deep within the Great Mountain, in front of the World-Destroying Dark Fang Bear, the Steel-Bone Light-Devouring Rat spoke slowly.

"What is it?"

"Is there a new development in Jianghai City?"

Due to the previous incident, the Bear King still felt a trace of unwillingness. He had been just a step away from capturing it, taking possession of the Spirit Stone Mine inside, and breaking through that final step.

But out of wariness toward that mysterious Twelve Generals of the human forces, he could only give up.

"No, it's that giant snake."

"Oh?"

"What about it?"

The Steel-Bone Light-Devouring Rat thought for a moment, then spoke.

"Ever since it came to the Great Mountain, it has set its sights on the Evolved Beasts here."

"Within a ten-mile radius around it, nothing that moves can survive; they have all ended up in its belly."

"The key is that it's very picky. It doesn't eat First-Order beasts, but it welcomes Second-Order and Third-Order ones. Now it has eaten one area clean and is moving on to the next ten-mile radius."

"I don't think we can let it continue like this, otherwise the Great Mountain will be eaten empty sooner or later."

Hearing the Steel-Bone Light-Devouring Rat's words, the Bear King was taken aback for a moment, then burst into hearty laughter, his voice booming like thunder.

"I thought it was something serious."

"It's just a minor matter. If it wants to eat, let it eat. The Great Mountain is so vast, how could it ever eat it all?"

"Besides, in the entire Great Mountain, only Third-Order Evolved Beasts develop intelligence; those are our true peers. Those First-Order and Second-Order ones are nothing but food to us anyway."

"Back then, when you and I grew to our current strength, we also ate plenty, and we never saw the Great Mountain being eaten empty."

"There's no need to worry about this. The more it eats, the more it shows it's simple-minded and has no grand ambitions. This kind of fellow is the easiest to control. Since Jianghai City hasn't been dealt with yet, we must not fall into internal chaos."

The Bear King said. However, when the Steel-Bone Light-Devouring Rat recalled the sight of that giant snake feeding, it couldn't help but feel a shiver of dread. That wasn't feeding at all; it was outright devouring.

"Although it wanted to say more, seeing the Bear King's attitude, it could only let it drop."

"Right, don't forget one thing."

"Do not reduce the Spirit Stones allocated to the giant snake. As its strength grows, the overall strength of our Great Mountain will also increase."

The Steel-Bone Light-Devouring Rat nodded, but then remembered something and said.

"Bear King, there is one more thing."

"Inside that Spirit Stone Mine, we found something. We can't tell what it is, so we need you to take a look."

Without any suspicion, the Bear King stood up, taking massive strides as he headed toward the Spirit Stone mining area in the deepest part of the Great Mountain.

A moment later, the Bear King looked at the object in his palm.

He actually dazed out for a split second.

The Steel-Bone Light-Devouring Rat beside him was somewhat puzzled, but before it could even blink, it saw the Bear King's eyes snap wide open, an uncontrollable look of pleasant surprise surfacing in his gaze.

A powerful Aura erupted from his body.

"Hahaha!"

"Heaven is helping me! Heaven is truly helping me!"

"I, the World-Destroying Dark Fang Bear, never expected to see this day! The Fourth-Order is just around the corner!"

"In the future, on the path of the ultimate strong, there will surely be a place for me, the World-Destroying Dark Fang Bear."

"Roar!"

Letting out a roar, the World-Destroying Dark Fang Bear tightly gripped the object in his palm. Although the Steel-Bone Light-Devouring Rat beside him didn't know what had happened, it could sense that the Bear King seemed to have obtained a significant Opportunity.

"Congratulations, Bear King!"

The Bear King's gaze toward Jianghai City was filled with Battle Intent, devoid of the previous wariness.

"Third Brother, I will have to trouble you to look after this Great Mountain for the time being."

"Give your Big Brother some time. In as short as ten days, or at most a month, I will definitely Breakthrough to the Fourth-Order."

"When I Breakthrough to the Fourth-Order, that will be the moment I trample Jianghai City!"

"A mere Fourth-Order powerhouse of the Human Race is not even worth mentioning."

Hearing this, the Steel-Bone Light-Devouring Rat immediately cheered.

In another part of the Great Mountain, the Clone, which was currently devouring frantically, also sensed the Bear King's Aura and anomaly. However, it paid no attention. What was the use of knowing more?

Lu Zheng's influence on the Clone had already seeped into its very bones.

Only keeping a low profile and continuously growing was the Righteous Path.

In this Great Mountain, the countless Evolved Beasts were all energy points. It could never finish eating them all.

[Clone]: Black Jade Snake

[Rank]: 16

[Talent]: Coil (Second-Order), Digestion Enhancement (Second-Order), Perception (Second-Order), Elite Sharp Fangs (Second-Order), Elite Hardening (Second-Order), Elite Rapid Recovery (Second-Order)

[Ability]: Command (Second-Order)

[combat power]: 750

[energy points]: 2,500,000 / 16,000,000

[Divinity Points]: 120

...

No one in Jianghai City knew yet that the crisis of the Great Mountain, which had only recently dissipated, was now slowly looming once again.

At this moment, Jianghai City was truly plagued by troubles both from within and without.

Meanwhile, Lu Zheng, who paid no attention to external affairs, was currently completely absorbed in his fist technique.

He didn't even remember how many times he had practiced it. He only knew that with each repetition of the fist technique, his combat power was slowly beginning to increase.

[main body]: Lu Zheng

[Superpower]: Awakening

[Skills]: Digestion Enhancement, Perception, Sharpness, Hardening, Command, Rapid Recovery.

[Martial Arts]: Baji Fist Third Realm (Not Initiated 3%)

[combat power]: 783

[Mental Power]: 170

[Divinity Points]: 120

The progress of the Third Realm fist technique had already increased to 5%, and his combat power had increased by 8 points. Once it reached 100%, it would be time for Lu Zheng's martial arts to Breakthrough to the Third-Order.

And by that time, perhaps Lu Zheng's combat power would have already reached the Fourth-Order.

Beside him, Senior Brother Li Hongyi didn't even dare to blink. The more he watched, the more shocked he became. He was in no mood to count how many times Lu Zheng had practiced the Third Realm fist technique.

Everything Lu Zheng executed was flawless—the movements were correct, the Breathing Technique was correct, the frequency was correct, everything was correct. Logically speaking, he should have long surpassed the limit of what he could endure.

Why could he still keep going?

Senior Brother Li Hongyi roared in his heart.

Zhao Mengzhu, who was nearby, also noticed that something was off and asked.

"What's wrong with Lu Zheng?"

What's wrong with him?

He's fucking not even human!

Senior Brother Li Hongyi had already begun to question his life.

"I know you are shocked by Lu Zheng's talent, but there isn't much time for you to be shocked right now."

"That Bishop of the Holy Spirit Sect will soon realize what's happening. Once he loses his patience and acts personally, Lu Zheng will have to be handed over whether we want to or not."

"You must have also sensed that Jianghai City is becoming increasingly dangerous. We absolutely cannot stay here any longer."

Zhao Mengzhu said. Senior Brother Li Hongyi suddenly whipped his head around, and Zhao Mengzhu was startled by his current state.

His eyes were bloodshot, and the veins on his forehead were bulging.

This was the first time she had ever seen Senior Brother Li Hongyi lose his composure to such an extent.
