Chapter 657: 524. What exactly is the Transcendent Divine Body? [First Update]_1
This was truly a grand scene.
Dragon King Ao Guang of the Eastern Sea was leading Son Goku towards the Ruyi Jingu Bang, while the South Sea Dragon King, the West Sea Dragon King, and the North Sea Dragon King had already arrived at the East Sea Dragon Palace. Zi Ji was now truly caught in a difficult situation, attacked from all sides.
The few sentences that Ao Guang had just uttered, the mere breath transmitted through the seawater, gave her a splitting headache, as if her head was about to explode.
"The one speaking... could he be the strongest person in the Dragon Palace? My head hurts so much!"
Zi Ji touched her head with one hand, her body staggering as she left the area, planning to hide far away in a spot with a good view and quietly observe for a while. If no one approached the pillar, she would come back to take it, there was still time.
However, after Zi Ji found a hiding spot, her body suddenly stiffened, as if the blood in her veins had solidified like what had happened a few minutes before. And this time, Zi Ji felt as if the blood in her body was truly going to solidify.
From a distance, she saw two creatures, surrounded by a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, both imposing. One had a tall figure with two dragon horns on his head, dressed in a brocade robe, looking extremely luxurious.
Despite the distance, this dragon-horned, dragon-like creature suffocated Zi Ji, making it hard for her to breathe. Although they were both dragons, it was as if one was in heaven and the other on earth. Zi Ji was extremely astonished, but she knew very well that the most terrifying was not this dragon-class creature...
It was the fellow beside this dragon!
This fellow was short and thin, dressed in coarse linen, with unkempt yellow-brown hair that danced in the seawater, and he walked with a wobble.
This was a monkey, but it was this upright walking monkey that struck fear deep into Zi Ji's heart!
The sensation of her blood coagulating came from the oppressive aura emitted by the monkey.
A monkey stronger than the dragon beside it?!
Is he the strongest in the Dragon Palace?!
Damn it, I can't move my body...
Zi Ji tried to move her body in desperation, but she was frozen in place like a statue, unable to budge at all. This scene made Gu Yuena and others before the screen extremely anxious.
They had not anticipated that the plane Zi Ji had ventured into would be so ridiculously strong!
Without even clashing once, presence alone is a threat, right?!
"Immortal, look, this is Dinghai Shen Zhentie. If you can pull it out and find it suitable, I will gift it to you, but if not... my humble Dragon Palace truly doesn't have a suitable weapon for you," said the tall creature with dragon horns on his head, speaking politely. However, the monkey beside him just snorted disdainfully.
As soon as this snort sounded, Zi Ji's eyes suddenly clouded with a layer of blood. In her vision, a violent storm arose in the ocean, mud and sand churned, abyssal fissures opened from the earth's core, and all the corals shattered into powder!
This was what she saw personally. For the first time, Zi Ji felt what it was like to be close to death. At that moment, even the people outside the screen felt the tremendous threat brought by the monkey's cold snort, because the ground of Soul Land had just trembled for a moment, although it lasted only a second.
Soon, Zi Ji was engulfed in a burst of colorful light and returned to the stands above.
She immediately checked her body to see if she had actually been shattered into pieces, and only after seeing that she was unharmed did she finally let out a sigh of relief.
Who was that monkey, really?!
A single cold snort caused Zi Ji, who was hundreds of meters away and concealing her presence, to instantly "explode and die," and even made the ground of Soul Land, which was connected to the Primordial Chaos Plane only by a light screen, shake for an instant.
"Who is he?"
Someone down below, unable to hold back, asked out loud.
Lin Yi responded indifferently, "Son Goku."
"What?! He is Son Goku?!"
"Damn! Son Goku is a monkey?!"
"Still such a small monkey? Based on looks alone, I could kill it with one punch!"
"Oh my God, that's way off!"
...
Although Zi Ji was astonished, this response thoroughly dispelled her unwillingness.
If it was Son Goku, then she indeed deserved to die.
When this guy was preparing to come to Senior Lin Yi, he almost destroyed the whole Soul Land upon his arrival!
Gu Yuena and others felt relieved that Zi Ji could return safely due to Lin Yi's strength; otherwise, her body might have completely merged into the sands of the Eastern Sea.
"It seems the situation is not going well, but it's not your fault. Others would likely have ended up the same way, but at least you've shown everyone what Son Goku looks like."
Lin Yi said to the somewhat dejected Zi Ji, just as he was about to retract the light screen, the System's voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
[Detecting a lack of Golden Cudgel material specimen in the prize pool for replication, resulting in a significant void in Eternal Weapon Roulette rewards. Host, please take this opportunity to immediately procure it from the East Sea Dragon Palace.]
Take this opportunity...
Lin Yi, staring at the scene on the light screen, was dumbfounded,
You've got to be kidding me, now you want me to compete with Son Goku for the Golden Cudgel?! To add material to the prize pool?!
Oh great, System, this is the second time you've done something so shameless!
Last time you said the prize pool lacked the Ten Fiery Sun Snake Gallbladders material specimen and then sent me off to Ming City to get it. Now dammit you're upgrading me, right?
Directly leaping from the Douluo plane to the fifth-level plane, from Slaughter City to Primordial Chaos, and now you let me take the Golden Cudgel, and in front of Son Goku at that?
Do you really think I'm invincible or something?
"You want me to go and die? All these people are watching. You want them to see me get thrashed by the monkey and you'd be happy about that?"
Lin Yi snarked in his heart.
[I do not understand why the host would make such a statement of insecurity. Perhaps it is excessive modesty? Apologies, I am still striving to decipher human thinking.]
Lin Yi was about ready to yank the System out of his body and give it a good beating. What the hell are you pretending for here?!
Modesty my ass! That's Son Goku we're talking about!
[What do you think is the essence of the Transcendent Divine Body? ]
The System suddenly asked a question that seemed unrelated.
Lin Yi impatiently responded in his mind, "What is it?"
[It's me.]
Lin Yi paused, narrowing his eyes, "What did you say? You mean, you, the System, are the Transcendent Divine Body award that I ultimately obtain?"
[Yes, before the conditions to obtain the Transcendent Divine Body (Lottery Shield) are met, you can temporarily borrow my abilities within a certain limit. Although temporary, it is still enough to make you king within a level 5 plane. Once the Lottery Shield period is over, on the day of our complete integration, you will become the genuine strongest across all heavens, and at that point, I will also lose the consciousness that was born, becoming a true part of your body.]
In that instant, Lin Yi felt like he was processing a lot of information.
"So, so... after I obtain the Transcendent Divine Body, you won't be able to talk to me like you do now, right?"
