Chapter 751

What Zhang Mingbei demonstrated was far beyond the power a single Yizunda Master could display.

Purely in terms of blood qi intensity, it was more like the combined blood qi of three or four Zunda Masters.

As the center of the Capital Array Diagram, Zhang Mingbei stood alone here, gathering the power of other Zunda Masters, equivalent to three or four Zunda Masters striking in unison.

The monstrous emperor's head shattered instantly; his own strength had already been suppressed.

Facing Zhang Mingbei's attack was like confronting three Zunda Masters in an incomplete state.

To withstand it would be truly unbelievable.

But this black emperor, fearless and relentless, let out a low growl, its entire blood qi igniting like a black sun erupting.

"... To hell with you!"

Zhang Mingbei's lips twitched, but he dared not let the explosion unfold.

If he detonated here, the energy wave from a monarch-level monstrous beast would directly shake the Capital.

The casualties caused would be set aside for now.

If the Capital Array Diagram were damaged, it would result in total collapse.

So, he could only endure.

"Puff!"

Zhang Mingbei's Indestructible Golden Body cracked open, and gushing blood dripped onto the ground.

Reaching the Master level allows one to forge a Golden Body.

And if one refines every single bone in the body into a Golden Body, then makes the ultimate leap to become a Zunda Master, achieving total transcendence, one gains the Indestructible Golden Body.

With the Indestructible Golden Body, without using blood qi or spiritual energy, one can shake mountains solely through physical strength.

One can leap into lava to bathe.

Yet even though the Indestructible Golden Body was immensely powerful,

facing the self-destruction of a peer-level being—even a weakened version after passing through the great array—Zhang Mingbei still struggled to endure.

Zhang Mingbei's expression grew dazed; he let out a bitter laugh, "... Is this really going to be where I'm worn down to death?"

Clenching his Yaguan, Zhang Mingbei forcibly lifted his spirit, and the void twisted again.

A second black monstrous emperor appeared—this time, it didn't even bother with probing attacks; it launched straight into self-destruction.

Zhang Mingbei's face remained expressionless; he stepped forward and bore it head-on.

His blood qi surged like an ocean, yet under the torrent of terrifying energy, countless cracks spread across his body until his form finally exploded apart.

He could only forcibly heal his body using refined spiritual energy.

Zhang Mingbei's face turned instantly deathly pale.

"Are these emperors truly insane?"

Every word Zhang Mingbei spoke seemed squeezed through his teeth.

Although one self-destruction after another could indeed severely wound him, even briefly opening the cavern fissure,

the key issue was that the monstrous emperors of the Cavern World were themselves the pinnacle beings of the Cavern.

What entity could command so many monstrous emperors to charge forward, one after another, heedless of life, intent on self-destruction to open this tunnel? It was far too illogical.

It even made Zhang Mingbei feel as if he were dreaming.

"Boom—!"

A third pitch-black monstrous emperor appeared—again, self-destruction.

Blazing light surged outward.

Zhang Mingbei truly could not hold on.

His body exploded a second time.

Yet this time, even if he wished to forcibly raise his spirit and use refined spiritual energy to heal his body, he could no longer do so.

He was blasted away by the terrifying energy wave, like a tattered ragdoll, slamming into a distant boulder.

"... Am I going to die?"

Zhang Mingbei coughed up blood continuously, and this thought flashed through his mind.

A Yidaida Master, half his body gone, blood gushing down.

Refined spiritual energy had been exhausted to the extreme.

Though he was not dead, his primordial energy was grievously wounded.

If he withdrew now to recuperate, it would take at least half a year to fully heal.

But the key issue was that as the frontline of the Forbidden City Cavern, he could not possibly retreat.

He would die here.

Without Zhang Mingbei's containment, the cavern fissure became unstable again.

Yet the Capital, after years of development, had long since devised multiple countermeasures; even if a Zunda Master temporarily left, there were ways to briefly stabilize the cavern fissure.

The second plan activated instantly: waves of Zunda-level blood qi were drawn from all directions and poured into the cavern fissure, temporarily stabilizing the Forbidden City Cavern.

During this time, the Forbidden City would again dispatch a Zunda-level being to replace Zhang Mingbei in containment.

But Zhang Mingbei had not yet relaxed; his pupils contracted sharply in the next instant.

He suddenly realized the space before him was beginning to disorder.

Not the previous monstrous emperors' self-destructions—but something far more terrifying.

Space was torn apart like a sheet of paper.

A colossal claw, larger than a mountain, reached through from another world and pressed toward the distant Capital.

"What on earth... is this?"

A chill rose in Zhang Mingbei's heart, accompanied by a thread of despair.

Though severely wounded, his essence as a Grand Master still remained, so he saw at a glance the true nature of this colossal claw—far surpassing that of a Grand Master.

This was a being capable of rivaling the Su Sheng he had once seen.

The underground caverns also harbor living Saints.

"... Jingdu is in peril!"

This was the last thought to flash through Zhang Mingbei's mind.

In the next breath, a magic array suddenly appeared in the void.

Su Han strode out from within, his expression calm, utterly unruffled, yet his eyes sharpened to an extreme edge as he stared at the terrifying giant hand approaching.

A cold curve curled at his lips; he clenched his fist, and the perfected-level Armament Haki instantly enveloped it.

"Since you've come, you need not leave!"

His fist slammed forward, and the terrifying qi instantly warped the void.

The sky-obscuring palm shattered the instant it collided with Su Han's fist, dissolving into an endless rain of blood.
