Chapter 4: After Hardship Comes Happiness

Within, there is the pressure of true energy, and without, there is an invisible force tearing apart. Even if Zhao Rui is strong, he cannot endure the torment of these two intense pains.

He hurriedly examined his body and suddenly realized that he seemed to have been transformed inside and out. His once somewhat rough skin had now become extremely delicate, radiating a bronze-like sheen. His physique was solid and well-proportioned, and it felt as if every muscle contained an inexhaustible explosive power

Within this black haze, there is a suffocatingly intense aura of malevolence

Secondly, this celestial tomb itself has already developed cracks. As for the reason for the appearance of these cracks, it may be due to the fact that the tomb was constructed a long time ago, or perhaps it is because the nameless minor demon is merely the lowest level of demon in this cemetery, and thus a discount was casually applied during the construction of its burial site

With every step forward, Zhao Rui felt as if thousands of sharp needles were simultaneously piercing his body, continuously moving within him, causing him unbearable pain

He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, enduring the unbearable agony, striving not to let out a scream. Cold sweat continuously emerged from his forehead, only to be evaporated in an instant by his scorching body temperature

At this moment, Zhao Rui had almost lost consciousness, yet his fist continued to strike down without hesitation

The torment that had just left him in a state of agony has now completely vanished, and the pressure of the vital energy on the meridians has also entirely receded

The Xianmo Cemetery has fallen silent once more, with only the scattered shards of ice and the figure of a human body, faintly visible amidst the black demonic aura, serving as proof that an ordinary human has entered this resting place of gods and demons

Almost instinctively, he stood up and began to run wildly in the Immortal and Demon Cemetery, hoping to vent the true energy within him

He felt as if he were being roasted over a fire, as if countless large hands were tearing at him, gradually grinding his bones into powder, slowly ripping apart his muscles, and finally piecing them back together bit by bit

Zhao Rui was taken aback, looking at his own hands in disbelief, completely unable to comprehend that he actually possessed such great power

His bones seem to have been enhanced, and his meridians have undergone a significant expansion, with abundant true energy flowing slowly within them, exerting no pressure on the meridians

These ancient demons have been dead for thousands or even tens of thousands of years; without the protection of the immortal tomb, they would immediately turn to dust.

Since running could not solve the problem, Zhao Rui decided to expend his internal energy in a more violent manner

Such pain has already surpassed the limits of human endurance, far exceeding even the ancient torture of a thousand cuts

The more powerful the ancient gods and demons, the more formidable the eternal celestial techniques attached to the celestial tomb, and naturally, the more solid the celestial tomb becomes. This can be seen as a form of affirmation and respect for their glory during their lifetime

Under his relentless strikes, the cracks on the celestial tomb began to widen continuously, extending in all directions. Chunks of shattered ice were smashed down, splattering everywhere, with some directly hitting his face and then breaking into even smaller pieces

When Zhao Ruigang entered the Immortal Demon Cemetery, he attempted to open this immortal tomb, but no matter how hard he struck, he could not scrape off even a tiny flake of ice from the tomb!

He quietly let out a sigh of relief, as that kind of pain truly left him in fear.

Such actions by m.hetushu.com, which border on madness, have yielded little effect; the true energy within him has not been released as a result.

It is no exaggeration to say that even the celestial tombs that entomb the lowest-ranked deities and demons are as formidable as steel fortresses, and even high explosives would find it difficult to breach them

Zhao Rui was acutely aware that his meridians were on the verge of rupture. If he did not take effective measures to release the internal vital energy, he would perish within moments.

However, Zhao Rui had no choice but to accept

Zhao Rui was completely indifferent; he merely repeated the violent striking motion, as this allowed the abundant true energy within him to be released, providing him with a sense of comfort

Uncertain of how long he had been in a coma, Zhao Rui finally awoke. Lying on his back on the ground, he gazed at the golden light cascading from above, and could not help but feel grateful for having escaped death a second time

With one hand supporting himself on the ground, Zhao Rui intended to roll over and stand up. To his surprise, with that single push, he actually performed several somersaults in mid-air, effortlessly leaping over three meters high like a swift swallow

With a loud "bang," the corpse of the nameless little demon exploded, turning into a cloud of black dust that scattered in all directions

Severe pain originates from the areas contaminated with black dust and rapidly spreads throughout the body

Zhao Rui did not pay much attention; for him, allowing the excessively abundant vital energy to be released was the most important matter

The celestial tombs in the Celestial and Demon Cemetery are extremely sturdy. The Nine Nether Cold Ice used to construct these celestial tombs is sourced from the peaks of the Ice Mountain Hell, the eighth layer of hell in the East, capable of easily freezing even souls

Moreover, each celestial tomb is imbued with an everlasting celestial technique, rendering these tombs extraordinarily solid

It turned out that those black dust particles carried the genes of nameless little demons. Upon entering Zhao Rui's body, they immediately fused with his genes, which directly led to the mutation of his physical form into that of an ancient demon!

Moreover, everything he saw seemed to have changed its appearance; the various colors in the Fairy and Demon Cemetery became vibrant and bright, gently flowing like water

Regardless, this crack provided Zhao Rui with the best opportunity to open the celestial tomb

However, the current situation is different. Zhao Rui, having cultivated the "Eight Desolations Slaying Immortals Technique," now has an abundance of true energy within him, resulting in a significant increase in both strength and knowledge.

At the moment he fell into a coma, wisps of black smoke rose gently from his body, forming a semicircular, cloud-like protective shield that completely covered an area of three meters in radius

A portion of black dust fell upon Zhao Rui, gradually merging with his skin.

However, after a while, he realized that he was wrong, and it was a grave mistake

Zhao Rui's internal vital energy was like a snowball, growing larger as it rolled, while the meridians within his body had already been blocked and expanded by this vital energy

With the resounding roar of the final strike, the celestial tomb completely shattered, and the corpse of the nameless little demon was fully revealed

The gene fusion under such circumstances is unprecedented in history, with a survival probability of approximately one in a billion, and the process is extremely painful

He stopped in front of a celestial tomb and began to pound it furiously with his fists. Coincidentally, this celestial tomb was the one he had once attempted to open but had failed.

Zhao Rui struck heavily on the celestial tomb with each punch, the immense sound of the collisions echoing continuously in the silent graveyard

Nevertheless, the true energy continued to flow through his meridians, desperately pushing forward.

He threw his head back and let out a wild roar, then fainted
