Chapter 191 Extraordinary Will
Xia State Security Headquarters.
In the information monitoring hall filled with various advanced precision instruments, hundreds of staff members are busy. Everyone has a solemn expression on his face and the atmosphere is extremely depressing.
At this moment, a young woman took off her headphones, stood up and reported: "Minister Chen, Qinhai City has detected another extraordinary energy fluctuation!"
The Minister Chen she was talking about was a middle-aged man with a fair complexion, wearing light blue glasses, a crew cut, and a monotonous black sportswear.
Unlike ordinary martial arts masters, his body does not appear to be very strong, but his muscles are just right, somewhat similar to that of a well-trained athlete.
But if anyone looks down on him because of his size, they are totally wrong.
Looking closely, the man's muscles were as crystal clear as jade, and the lines on the surface of his skin had a gorgeous light golden hue, and faint starlight could be vaguely seen twinkling in it.
With every move he made, the space began to distort due to the terrifying energy he unintentionally emitted.
"Focus the satellite image over there!" Chen Longyu's voice was cold, like two magnets rubbing against each other.
After receiving the order, the woman sat down immediately and quickly tapped the keyboard with both hands. An illusory blue projection appeared in front of the hall, and everyone's eyes were focused on it.
It was a city that had already fallen into ruins.
There were stumps and broken walls everywhere, flames shooting into the sky, wailing everywhere, and undignified corpses lying everywhere.
Road traffic was completely blocked, a large number of cars were damaged and turned into scrap metal, and countless people fleeing could only run on foot. Looking from the sky, it looked like black rivers rushing towards the suburbs of Qinhai City.
The culprit behind all this was a terrifying giant rat covered with black hair and over fifty meters tall.
There was a strange pattern similar to "rodent teeth" engraved on the giant rat's forehead, emitting a scarlet luster. It opened its mouth again, and a fiery hurricane spewed out of its abyss-like mouth, directly destroying all the buildings within hundreds of meters in front of it.
The security forces stationed near Qinhai City were urgently mobilized.
Dozens of "phantom"-like high-tech advanced fighter jets circled over the giant rat, continuously launching strategic strikes with high lethality such as lasers, nuclear energy, etc.
But the giant rat's physical defense is too terrifying.
The missiles falling on it were like a drop of rain flowing into the sea, without even damaging its fur.
"This is the true body of the Beast God! In history, it has appeared on the continent of Australia. At its peak, the Beast God Cult under its rule had more than 7000 million followers, spread all over the world of Canglan Star. It is a very terrifying god!"
A white-haired old man adjusted his glasses and said in a serious tone.
Even though they were hundreds of thousands of miles apart, he could still feel the terrible oppression from the gods from this projection.
This fear is imprinted deep in the bone marrow and genes, like the instinct of the food chain when a mouse meets a cat.
There is no doubt that "God" is a being of a higher genetic level than "human beings".
Perhaps only those extraordinary warriors who have broken free from their genetic shackles can suppress this instinctive fear of gods.
"It's 2061 now. It's only been a short time since the Age of Gods ended, and yet new gods have appeared. Are they going to rule human civilization again?" A woman's words were filled with fear.
"What is there to be afraid of? After all these years, martial arts have been revived, and transcendence has flourished. We humans now have at least 300 transcendent war gods. Why should we be afraid of a fight?"
"I'm not saying this to discourage you. The power level of the gods is still higher than that of our extraordinary warriors..."
There was a buzz of discussion in the monitoring hall.
Only Chen Longyu crossed his arms, stared at the screen with a grim expression, and said, "Get closer and zoom in on the image of the Beast God!"
"Okay, Chen Bu!"
The camera on the screen was constantly zoomed in, but when it entered a certain range, the picture suddenly fluctuated violently and could no longer clearly broadcast the scene.
It’s the realm of gods!
Whether they are gods or extraordinary warriors, their strength is too powerful, far beyond the cognition of ordinary people. An aura field will naturally be emitted around their bodies, which will produce electromagnetic interference effect on most scientific and technological instruments.
"Pull back a little further to stabilize the picture!"
Chen Longyu gave the order once, and then asked: "How is the battle situation over there with Xiong Huqiang? Can the battle be resolved as soon as possible? Qinhai City is about to collapse!"
"Commander Chen, the battle footage from the Xiong Emperor's side has just been fed back. The creatures that came out of the secret realm are too terrifying. Without external reinforcements, he can only barely protect himself now, let alone free up forces to aid Qinhai City!" A young woman said with a wry smile.
"This secret place... I came here too coincidentally. I feel like there is a force pulling me in secret!" Chen Longyu frowned.
If two extraordinary warriors work together to kill the "Beast God", not only can they establish their prestige to the whole world and break the myth that "Gods" cannot be killed, but they can also harvest a large amount of precious resources from the remains of the gods.
But because of the sudden appearance of this secret realm, all plans regarding Qinhai City were disrupted.
"Commander Chen, according to the information fed back by the National Secret Realm Monitoring Intelligence Bureau, it should have taken less than three days for this secret realm to get close to Canglan Star and build a temporary passage, so it was not discovered in time."
A male staff member not far away said, "According to the information fed back by the Qinhai City Monitoring Bureau, they also failed to discover the energy fluctuations transmitted from the secret realm as early as possible. I think this is a bit unrealistic. It is very likely that the place has been infiltrated by external forces."
Hearing this, Chen Longyu nodded slightly.
He also thought about this.
However, now is not the time to pursue responsibility. The most urgent task is to resolve the disaster in Qinhai City.
If a city with a population of over ten million were destroyed, no one could afford such a loss.
"Where is Murong Moyuan? Let him go over quickly. We must not let this beast go any further!" Chen Longyu scolded.
Another staff member immediately replied: "Murong Moyuan's status information has gone red. He must have fallen into some kind of trouble and cannot get out for the time being. However, we have asked the Suzaku Queen to rush over as soon as possible, but it will take some time!"
"The Queen Suzaku is guarding the secret realm of Yanfeng City. If she leaves, the secret realm will be easily lost, causing another catastrophe!" said Chen Longyu.
"But this is the most feasible method at present. Comparatively speaking, Yanfeng City is more stable and the probability of a crisis breaking out is lower." Someone explained with a wry smile.
Chen Longyu was silent for a moment, then asked again: "Where is Sun Guoliang? Where did he go? Why can't I see him in the picture?"
"The country has allocated so many training resources to him, allowing him to enjoy various benefits and treatments, but it doesn't want him to choose to be a turtle at a time like this!"
Someone reminded him weakly, "Minister Chen, Sun Guoliang is only a martial arts master. If he faces this beast god, he will surely die!"
"So what if he's a martial arts master? He's already the strongest person in this city. If he doesn't go up, will he let those ordinary people go up?" Chen Longyu paced back and forth in the hall, his tone gradually becoming a little angry.
At this moment, a woman stood up and said, "Commander Chen, news just came from Qinhai City that Sun Guoliang... has been killed in battle!"
Hearing this, Chen Longyu was stunned at first, then his expression relaxed.
He once again fixed his eyes on the screen. The terrifying figure of the Beast God was wreaking havoc in the city. Its hundreds of meters long black tail swung casually at a speed so fast that it created a sonic boom and flames, and swept down several fighter planes.
"Get ready to start the highest level of post-disaster reconstruction work!"
A weak sigh sounded in the hall.
Including Chen Longyu, everyone knew very well that although it seemed that the Suzaku Queen was on the way, this short period of time was enough for the Beast God to completely destroy Qinhai City.
……
"Mom, Mom!"
Qi Sui searched the house but did not find his mother Zhang Fen.
Then he looked at the table in the living room, where a piece of paper lay quietly, with words written on it for his father.
Soon, Qi Sui's nervous expression eased.
It turned out that at the very beginning of the Beast God disaster, mother Zhang Fen was immediately taken to a safe place outside the suburbs by the National Security Bureau. He Jing'an's instructions must have been involved.
"When Uncle He recovers from his injury, I will definitely treat him to a good meal!"
Qi Sui muttered something and turned to walk outside.
As soon as I left the community, a wave of hot black air gushed towards me.
The horribly high temperature made his face feel hot.
A fighter plane fell from the sky, and countless parts and fragments scattered everywhere, sparking a ball of fire.
boom--
A building with more than 30 floors was directly reduced to ruins under the impact of the giant rat's huge body. It was unknown how many innocent people who were trying to escape were buried underneath. More than half of the old city area of Qinhai City was destroyed.
Qi Sui clenched his fists.
This was the city where he had lived for many years as a child. He wanted to protect it all, but the huge gap in strength pierced his heart like a needle.
Still too weak!
If he were a martial arts master now, then perhaps he could go up and fight with the "Beast God".
But he was just a martial artist, and any aftermath from the opponent was enough to turn his body into a meat paste.
If only it could be... a little stronger!
Qi Sui suppressed the deep desire for power in his heart, took one last look at the rampaging figure of the "Beast God", then joined the fleeing crowd and ran towards the southwest corner of the city.
My father is under the care of Grandmaster Zheng Qingshan, so no accidents will happen easily.
He is now more worried about his teacher's situation!
After a while, Qin Long Martial Arts School appeared at the end of the road. This ordinary-looking five-story building was damaged and collapsed due to the scorching air waves of the "Beast God".
"teacher!"
"Teacher, are you still in there?"
Qi Sui shouted loudly and walked up the stairs.
The martial arts gym that used to be bustling with people is now deserted, and the empty training hall makes people feel a little lonely.
"Teacher... should have left long ago!"
Qi Sui guessed in his heart.
He went to the fifth floor and tentatively pushed open the door. The circuit in the room was damaged and the light was a little dim. In front of the window, a familiar figure was standing with his hands behind his back.
"teacher!"
Qi Sui was a little surprised, and hurriedly walked up and said, "Teacher, that giant rat is a very scary god, and it will be coming over here soon. Let's leave quickly!"
"Xiao Sui?"
Qin Long's body was a little stiff, but soon returned to normal.
He did not ask Qi Sui how he came back from the secret realm, but just said: "Xiao Sui, do you know why the teacher has been living in the martial arts hall and rarely goes out?"
Qi Sui felt somewhat puzzled by the teacher's topic, but still answered honestly: "I don't know!"
"Haha~"
Qin Long smiled gently, then slowly turned around.
His face was calm, his eyes were as deep as an ancient pond, and he said, "That visualization picture is the treasure of our Qin Sect. It has a very great origin. It was bestowed by a god-like figure. Perhaps it contains a secret of transcendence!"
Qi Sui's eyes flashed, and he nodded immediately: "Teacher, I understand!"
Although the treasure is good, it will also attract the covetousness of various forces. No wonder the teacher dare not leave the martial arts hall. The visualization picture is like a shackle that imprisons him here.
Qin Long nodded, and the next sentence was like a thunderbolt: "Now, the teacher has passed the visualization picture to you. With your current strength, you are initially qualified to protect it. It is the foundation of our Qin Sect. Remember not to lose it!"
"Teacher, you..."
Qi Sui's spirits lifted.
He could sense that there was a deeper meaning in the old man's words, and that there was something of a desire to entrust his son to his care.
Qin Long smiled and turned around to look at the terrifying monster approaching. He said calmly, "Qinhai City is the place that I have guarded for twenty years. It is also the cradle that has nurtured me for many years. Therefore, I cannot watch Qinhai City being destroyed by this beast."
"But teacher, you are just a martial arts master...fearless sacrifice seems very stupid to me!" Qi Sui advised anxiously.
"Haha, Xiao Sui, is this how you look down on your teacher?"
Qin Long suddenly laughed heartily.
His hair was gray and his face was covered with wrinkles that symbolized the passage of time. But even such an old body seemed to have burst out with new strength, and his lumbar spine became straighter and straighter. From behind, the old man had an indescribable majestic figure.
"Today, the teacher will give you the last lesson!"
Having said that, Qin Long's body suddenly lit up with a dazzling internal energy glow, and the high-intensity energy burst released a scorching air wave, which spread in the house like a small shock wave, shattering the glass in front of him.
"Since the birth of civilization, humans have not actually been favored or loved by God."
"The great Creator did not give humans bodies as strong as tigers and leopards, leaving them to become food for wild beasts!"
"The Creator also did not give humans the spiritual power to cause wind, rain, thunder and lightning, leaving them to linger under the might of heaven!"
"Our ancestors worked tirelessly to improve themselves, tempered their bodies in desperate situations, awakened their spiritual wisdom, and fought against all things in the world. This is how civilization can continue for thousands of years."
"And the fundamental purpose of tempering the body and awakening the spiritual wisdom is to break the big lock that restricts humans from exploring the treasures of the flesh - the gene lock!"
"The gene lock is God's curse on us humans. Only by breaking it can we hope to peek into the real world!"
After he finished speaking, Qin Long snorted coldly, and the internal energy under his skin flowed rapidly. The whole person was like a sun, and the golden energy that condensed infinite power burst out from every pore of his body.
Wisps of energy arcs jumped slightly, causing the surrounding space to distort.
The vast spiritual power spread out, and the terrifying master's domain encompassed all the space within a radius of several thousand meters.
Qi Sui, who was standing next to him, had his eyelids twitching wildly.
Being in Qin Long's master realm, his heartbeat almost stopped, his whole body was extremely stiff, and he couldn't even move a finger.
terrible!
Is this still the old man who was once seriously injured, his foundation damaged, and had no choice but to retire from the martial arts world?
In terms of power, he is much more terrifying than Sun Guoliang who is in his prime!
"If you want to break the genetic lock and achieve extraordinary life, there is no shortcut. There is only one way!"
"That's... the one hundred and first time the stonemason struck the stone!"
The surging golden energy seemed to gather together into two golden dragons, sweeping over Qin Long's body and finally disappearing into his pupils.
boom--
The sound was like that of a hammer hitting another, echoing deep in Qi Sui's soul.
Looking closely, thin black stripes appeared on the surface of every muscle cell in Qin Long's body. These lines were like spread out shackles that firmly sealed the energy in the cells.
The cells connected together formed a large black shackle network throughout the body.
"Is this... the gene lock?"
Qi Sui's pupils suddenly shrank.
He subconsciously looked at his fair palm. Only internal energy was flowing in it, and he could not sense the existence of genetic shackles at all.
"open!"
Qin Long took a step into the air and let out a loud shout.
boom!
A huge sound wave spread over the city, attracting the attention of countless people, including the giant "Beast God" rat that was wreaking havoc.
"open!"
Qin Long shouted again!
The roar became more intense, and the terrifying air waves shattered the white clouds in the sky.
The power of Qi and internal strength intertwined together, like a sledgehammer, smashing towards every cell in his body.
This self-mutilation method caused his skin to crack and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
But his aura not only did not drop, but instead began to soar.
"This is……"
Xiong Huqiang, who was caught in a fierce battle outside the city, sensed this scene and screamed in horror: "Forced to open the gene lock? Qin Long, you are going to die!"
"open!"
In response to him, there was an even louder shout.
A golden energy wave visible to the naked eye rose into the sky.
Qin Long's eyes were bloodshot, and a large number of blood vessels in his body were ruptured. Blood spurted out without mercy. His mouth was full of blood, and his teeth were about to break: "Open!"
"open!"
"open!"
"open!"
"..."
The roar that determined the fate of Qinhai City was like the beating of war drums, one after another, ringing over the city and touching the hearts of countless Qinhai citizens.
However, the black genetic shackles on Qin Long's body were still as solid as a rock, with no signs of breaking.
The green eyes of the "Beast God" flashed with a fierce light.
It sensed an instinctive threat from the frail old man and immediately turned around and moved closer.
"open!"
"open!"
"open!"
"..."
The old man's roars became more and more tragic.
Penetrated by that horrific force, his eyeballs ruptured, he became blind, and his internal organs were shattered.
"teacher!"
Qi Sui screamed in surprise.
If he continued like this, he would probably die before he could break the genetic lock.
In the monitoring hall of Tianfu, there were also high-ranking officials from various forces, all of whom focused their attention on this old man who was almost at the end of his life.
"Senior Qin Long, will he succeed?"
"Why are extraordinary lives so rare? It's because of the existence of the gene lock. It's like a ravine in the sky, blocking countless brilliant martial arts geniuses in history!"
"Yes, Qin Long was also a famous genius back then!"
"The chance of forcing the gene lock open is only one in a hundred!"
"Qin Long knocked 28 times just now, which is already very good! Who would have thought that the genius whose foundation was damaged and was considered to have fallen, would still have such a terrifying foundation at this age!"
"Yes, if he hadn't been injured that year, he would have achieved extraordinary life long ago!"
"..."
There are different opinions.
Everyone's eyes revealed admiration for the seriously injured old man.
Because that represents humanity's charge toward a higher level of life.
Chen Longyu crossed his arms across his chest, a barely perceptible fluctuation flashed in his cold eyes. Looking at the broken body soaked in blood, his thoughts seemed to have returned to the past.
"Qin Long, don't let your pride succumb to fate!"
"Zhizhizhizhi——"
The giant rat let out a sharp hiss, and the strange symbol on its head kept flashing. It sped up, trying to swallow this delicious human into its stomach.
At this moment, Qin Long's breath turned from strong to weak, like a balloon with a hole in it, the power and life breath gathered in his body were dissipating madly.
His eyelids drooped, his arms hung limply, his blood-stained white hair stuck to his cheeks, and he looked indescribably miserable.
"break!"
His vocal cords were damaged, and he had to use his throat muscles to force himself to roar.
But the power it created was like a flickering candlelight, much weaker than at the beginning.
The black shackles gathered on his body surface were still strong, as if mocking his incompetence.
"Did it fail?"
While fighting, Xiong Huqiang hummed with some loss.
Murong Moyuan was hiding in a luxurious hotel, holding two young girls in his arms, with a happy smile on his face.
"This old dog made such a fuss just now that it was really scary. I thought he was going to succeed!"
"That's right, it's not that easy to break the genetic shackles!"
“But I didn’t expect that after twenty years, this old dog has accumulated a lot of experience. The injuries to his martial arts foundation seem to have been healed. If he is given more time, he may have a chance to enter the extraordinary realm!”
Murong Moyuan felt a little scared, but also a little lucky.
He seemed to recall the fearful memories that he was unwilling to face back then, and the strength in his hands increased unconsciously, squeezing the woman's breasts directly: "Fortunately, fortunately, no matter how talented you are, Qinhai City today will definitely be your burial place!"
The giant rat "Beast God" was already approaching. It opened its huge mouth as deep as the abyss and swallowed up the old man who was as motionless as a rotten wood.
"teacher!"
Qi Sui was furious.
He immediately reached for his neck, ready to pull out his spine and fight it to the death.
Qin Long remained indifferent and allowed himself to be bitten into the mouth of the giant beast rat. His lips collided slightly and he used up his last bit of strength to make a faint note.
"break!"
The Qi and internal strength surged again.
But the power it created was like a drop of rain falling into the ocean, which could only cause very slight ripples.
The world seemed to have come to a standstill at this moment.
click-
A crisp cracking sound suddenly rang in the ears of everyone in Qinhai City.
Tiny cracks appeared on the surface of the black shackles, and these cracks seemed to trigger some kind of chain reaction, beginning to spread throughout the body.
Click~click~click~
The cracks are getting bigger and bigger.
Finally, at a certain point, it burst apart!
hum~
The golden air wave that carried terrifying energy spread in the giant rat's mouth. A lot of flesh and blood on its head was torn, and its teeth fell out. It was forced to open its mouth and spit out Qin Long.
The golden air waves continued to radiate outward, sweeping across the sky above Qinhai City, across the vast Yunhai Province, sweeping across Xia Country, until they swept across every corner of Canglan Star.
This is... a transcendental will!
