I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 197 A bolt from the blue!

As the word "Earth" fell, the next moment his body was seen shining with divine light, and transformed into a human figure made of jade.

"That's 'Earth'! 'Earth' is emitting divine light. How did it turn into a stone man?"

"'Earth' is a god?"

"'Earth' is a god???"

"..."

Everyone in the tribe was talking about it, looking at the divine light emanating from the Earth and the strange vision that appeared, with a hint of disbelief in their eyes.

As the words fell, everyone in the tribe knelt on the ground and kowtowed to it continuously.

For ordinary people, it is impossible to distinguish the strength of gods. Their young patriarch suddenly became a god. For those in desperate situations, there is no time to think about why 'Di' became a god, and there is no better news than this.

"Boy, you dare to steal the power of God? But it's still useless. I can kill you with just one finger." The mole opposite looked at the ground with a look of disdain in his eyes.

At this time, 'Earth' felt the overwhelming pressure from the opposite side, and secretly groaned in his heart. Although he had become a god, he only realized the gap between the two sides when he stood in front of Luo.

There is a gap between gods. He can only put his hope on his eldest brother and wait for him to turn the tide.

In the back yard, Zhang Chen looked towards the battlefield:
"Earth has some abilities, but it is no match for the maggots. Earth has just become a god, and we must not let it be defeated by the maggots. Otherwise, it will be a fatal blow to its prestige and the confidence of its followers."

There was no critical moment rescue. Zhang Chen just patted his sleeves, and the next moment, two rays of light, one black and one white, entangled and came out, crossing the sky in an instant. Everyone felt a flash before their eyes, and then a scream came from the opposite side, and the next moment the body broke into two pieces, and died.

Ordinary people could not see the divine light being activated. In everyone's eyes, Earth confronted the maggot on the opposite side, and then the maggot that was originally speaking loudly suddenly died. Only Earth, who was a god, vaguely saw the black and white divine light and saw the source of the black and white divine light.

"It was big brother who took action! Big brother really didn't let me down." 'Di' turned his head to look at Zhang Chen's residence, his eyes full of joy.

"The god of the Luo tribe is dead. Everyone, follow me and I will take over the Luo tribe today."

Di looked at the dead mole and the people of the Mole Tribe in the distance, with a hint of ecstasy in his eyes, and quickly called on everyone to charge and kill.

Faced with the Ape Tribe that possessed divine power, the people of the Mole Tribe lost all morale, and the outcome of this war was no longer a suspense.

Zhang Chen did not go out, but sat in the house waiting until late at night, when he saw Di walking in from outside the yard with his blood boiling. Looking at Zhang Chen who was squinting under the big tree, his knees softened and he knelt down on Di, his voice choked with sobs: "Brother...thank you so much..."

He was so excited that he couldn't speak for a moment.

"Don't be so polite. Aren't we brothers?" Zhang Chen patted Di's shoulder, helped him up, and asked in a gentle voice, "Have you arranged everything?"

"All 8,000 members of the Luo tribe have been captured and become our slaves. Our tribe has finally survived this crisis. But please deal with the corpse of Luo." The young man looked at Zhang Chen with burning eyes: "This corpse of the god is the real good stuff."

"You can deal with it as you wish. I have no interest in it." Zhang Chen replied. When he leaves here, he won't be able to take anything with him. Although the corpse of the god is good, it is useless to him.

"I think you'd better go and take a look. I originally wanted to collect the god's body and give it to you, big brother, but who knew that the body of the worm was not the body of a god like Hou Tu, but a real body of flesh and blood." The young man said.

He had originally been thinking about whether he could add another god to the tribe, but who knew that the other party was actually a flesh and blood body, and did not have a body like the 'little ball'.

Zhang Chen became interested after hearing this. He had never seen a god of flesh and blood before. The gods he met before were all objects. What was this god of flesh and blood?

"Let's go and take a look." Zhang Chen also became interested at this time.

The two of them came all the way to the battlefield, and Zhang Chen saw from a distance a large ant that was three meters long, one meter thick, and completely black. It was now broken into two pieces and lay quietly on the ground.

From the broken wound, golden blood slowly flowed out, looking very mysterious.

"It is indeed a body of flesh and blood." Zhang Chen stepped forward and observed for a moment with a surprised look on his face, so he summoned out the Great Freedom Demon and asked about the key.

After taking a look at the body of the mole, the Great Freedom Demon said in surprise, "This is easy to explain. This fellow is like a peacock, born naturally, and with some luck, he became a great figure. It's a pity that this flesh and blood body is of no value to us. It's just chicken ribs that are tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away."

Zhang Chen looked disappointed when he heard this. He turned to the young man and said, "This body is of no use to me. You can do with it as you see fit."

"I wonder if this flesh and blood can be used for cultivation. After all, the blood of the tooth beast has such miraculous effects. This worm is a god after all, so it should have some miraculous effects, right?" The young man muttered beside him.

Zhang Chen was stunned when he heard this, and looked at the young man in surprise: "It should be possible, you can try it."

Upon hearing this, 'Di' did not hesitate to step forward and smear the blood on his body. The next moment, a scream was heard and 'Di' rolled on the ground in pain.

Upon seeing this scene, Zhang Chen opened his Dharma eyes quickly, and saw that the golden blood was gradually seeping into the body of the Earth. Meanwhile, the aura of the Earth was actually getting stronger as the golden blood seeped into it.

There were mysterious golden lines flowing between its flesh and blood, which turned into mysterious patterns. Although the pattern was blurry, Zhang Chen could see it clearly. It was the appearance of a cricket.

"He is inheriting the power of the absorbing cricket." Zhang Chen was surprised when he saw this scene.

Unfortunately, his martial arts skills were too shallow, and he was unable to shake his internal organs, tendons, bones, and skin, so he naturally could not absorb the power of the blood. Zhang Chen was guarding beside him. After about an hour, the struggle of the Earth finally stopped, and then he stood up and looked at Zhang Chen with vigor: "Brother, I succeeded!"

The clothes on the young man's body had been torn, and there was a clear 'mole' pattern engraved on his chest, but the pattern was very small, probably only the size of a thumb, and the whole pattern was golden in color, looking very mysterious.

"How does it feel?" Zhang Chen asked.

The Earth sensed it for a moment, and then said, "It seems that I can absorb a certain mysterious power between heaven and earth to strengthen my body."

Zhang Chen thought thoughtfully: "If every mysterious figure in the world corresponds to a law and controls a power, then the Earth has absorbed the blood of the mole and controlled the remaining power of the mole. Wouldn't it be able to exercise the authority of the mole and absorb the law power corresponding to the mole?"

'After the young man 'Earth' smelted Hou Tu's body, he was unable to absorb the power corresponding to Hou Tu's authority. That was because the fallen Hou Tu was only a divinity nurtured by the power of faith. Her body spirit was not destroyed, and her authority was not dissipated.'

Thinking of this, Zhang Chen's pupils suddenly shrank, and a thought arose in his mind: "The martial arts path of later generations is wrong! Using martial arts blood to nourish the soul and cultivate the Yin God is completely wrong. The true path of martial arts may be to slaughter a god, or to find a fallen god, obtain his essence and blood, and then steal the source of his power, and even have the hope of replacing him in the end."

"Replacing gods with human bodies, or even completely stealing the authority of gods, wouldn't that mean that the body can become a saint directly?" Zhang Chen was shocked by his own idea. This idea was truly incredible.

"You come with me."

Zhang Chen looked at Luo's exhausted blood and called out to the Earth, and then the two of them came to the temple.

The young man looked at Zhang Chen and asked, "Brother, what is it that you called me for?"

“I have thought of a way to make martial arts comparable to gods, to make human bodies comparable to gods.” Zhang Chen said.

"Really?" The young man's voice was filled with shock and disbelief.

Zhang Chen expressed his speculation, and finally concluded: "You have now obtained the residual power of the cricket. If you continue to practice martial arts and exercise the authority of the cricket to absorb its corresponding power, you may be able to complete the authority and laws corresponding to the cricket in your body in the future. At that time, it may not be impossible for you to be on par with the gods with your flesh."

"In this case, our human race will finally have a way out and no longer need to be treated as livestock by the gods." The young man's face flushed with excitement, but he quickly calmed down:
"But gods are not so easy to hunt, especially flesh-and-blood gods like this are rare. Even if you know this method, how difficult is it to hunt gods?"

Seeing that Earth could wake up quickly from the fever, Zhang Chen smiled and said, "This is not difficult. I can lend you a treasure to help you hunt gods in the future."

"Treasure? What treasure?" Earth was stunned when he heard that.

Zhang Chen took out the black and white embryo from his sleeve and said, "This is a divine embryo. You need to worship it well with your tribe. When it is born in the future, it will surely have earth-shattering power and protect your tribe."

Since he knew he couldn't take the treasure away with him, he might as well do a good deed and leave the treasure to the Ape Tribe.

"Is this the god who just strangled the worm?" At this moment, 'Di' saw the black and white light flowing in the embryo, and his face suddenly became excited. He had witnessed the terrifying power of this god with his own eyes.

"Yes, that's it." Zhang Chen nodded.

"Give this thing to my Ape Tribe?" The young man's face flushed and he was so excited that he didn't know what to say.

Zhang Chen walked up to the altar slowly, and then placed the embryo on the altar. The next moment, he saw the embryo transform into a ball of black and white light floating in the air like Hou Tu. "From now on, it will be yours. As for whether you can offer this treasure to the world, it depends on whether your Ape Tribe is sincere."

"I will go and summon my tribesmen to perform a worship ceremony, so that the luck of this deity can be connected with that of my Ape Tribe, and I can use the luck and incense of my Ape Tribe to support it."

The ape's face was full of excitement at this time. Without waiting for Zhang Chen's response, he ran out excitedly.

Zhang Chen watched coldly what happened next, as he saw Di leading the people of the Ape Tribe to kowtow and offer sacrifices, as well as a series of complicated rituals to worship the gods.

The Ape Tribe suffered countless casualties in a great battle, but after the Ape Tribe annexed the neighboring Mole Tribe, the number of people not only did not decrease, but instead exceeded the 9,000 mark.

Then came the post-war processing. After all the matters were completed, Lei and Di came to visit again.

After another round of pleasantries, Lei knelt down on the ground with an excited face and kowtowed to Zhang Chen to express his gratitude: "Your Majesty has been very kind to my Yuan Tribe. The Yuan Tribe cannot repay you. Please accept my gift. If Your Majesty has any requests in the future, my Yuan Tribe will do its best to satisfy Your Majesty. Even if it requires my Yuan Tribe to go through fire and water, we will not refuse."

Zhang Chen looked at Di and Lei with sincere faces, and thought to himself that the time had come, so he said, "Actually, I do have something I want to ask of you."

"Just tell me. If we can do it, we will go through fire and water for it." Lei promised, patting his chest.

Zhang Chen smiled when he heard this: "Before I tell you my request, please listen to my story first."

"In the past, there was a large tribe, established in Zhaoyao Mountain, called 'Yuan'. The tribe was extremely powerful, and they killed gods as if they were grass. Their leader, 'Emperor', led his people to conquer the South Mountain and the North Sea..." Zhang Chen narrated everything he knew about the Yuan tribe word by word, while carefully observing the reactions of 'Earth' and 'Thunder'. What puzzled Zhang Chen was that the two of them had no reaction after listening to his narration, and their faces were full of satisfied expressions, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Zhang Chen was secretly puzzled: "How strange! If Lei is a descendant of the Ape Tribe, why did he have no reaction when I mentioned the Ape Tribe? Either he is completely unaware of it, or he is extremely scheming and doesn't show any sign at all."

Zhang Chen was full of doubts. Logically speaking, since he suddenly mentioned the secret, no matter how deep the other party's mind was, he should have reacted, right?
When Zhang Chen finished speaking, Di sighed with emotion and his voice was full of shock: "I never thought that my human race would have such a strong man. The strength of that great emperor is incredible. If only one day I could be like that great emperor, leading the people of the Ape Tribe out of Zhaoyao Mountain, flatten Nanshan Mountain, and pacify the five regions of the southeast, northwest, and northeast!"

"You kid still want to compete with that 'Emperor'? How can your mediocre skills compare with that emperor?" Lei cursed angrily.

"My name and that emperor have the same pronunciation. That emperor is my role model! What's more, under the guidance of Brother Zhang, I have already mastered the method of becoming a god. As long as I am willing to work hard, I may be able to match that 'Emperor' in the future." The voice of the young man 'Di' was full of indignation.
