Chapter 111: Golden Bloodline, An Explosive Increase In Physical Strength

Golden Gods-Slaying Ant bloodline?

A bloodline?

Meng Lei was a little taken aback. He had picked up a bloodline again? But what was this Golden Gods-Slaying Ant bloodline?

Buzz!

During Meng Lei’s moment of distraction, innumerable dazzling golden light rays suddenly pierced through his skin and shot out of his body, lighting up the whole place in an instant.

Right on the heels of it, the golden light rays turned into sticky, viscous glue-like golden flames. They shrouded Meng Lei entirely, and then, they began to blaze.

Boom!

A wave of severe pain, as if capable of ripping Meng Lei’s insides apart, erupted from within his body and assaulted his nerves like a fierce, surging tidal wave.

Pain!

Pain!

Pain!

“Ahhh!”

Meng Lei let out a loud cry, feeling as if his entire self was about to be ripped apart. He doubled over and pounded the ground with his fists, his countenance savage.

“Meng Lei, what’s wrong?”

The sudden turn of events gave Ol’ Amos a huge fright. “What’s the matter, brat? You’re scaring me…”

“I… I’m fine!”

Meng Lei tried to put up with the agony that felt even more painful than being tortured to death. He gave him an awful smile and said, “I… I’m… fine… It’ll be okay in a while.”

“What do you mean you’re fine when you’re behaving like this?” Ol’ Amos was terribly anxious. “Tell me, what exactly is going on?”

“Ha… Haha!”

Meng Lei gave him a dreadful smile, unable to even utter a proper sentence anymore. The sticky, viscous golden flames seeped out of his body like blood before returning into his body again.

They burned the surface of his body and burned the inside of his body. The cycle repeated again and again as it burned his whole body, running amok and weaving about unbridled.

Everywhere the golden flames passed by underwent modifications!

His bones, meridians, skin… His blood, internal organs, heart, and lungs… Every single inch of his blood and flesh… every little nook and cranny… All of them were modified by the golden flames!

The immense pain was like the gushing rivers, endless and eternal.

They assailed his senses madly, like the Yellow River beyond one’s control in a flood.

“Why is this happening? What exactly is going on?”

Ol’ Amos was in such a panic that he was going round and round in circles.

Roar!

In their daze, as though made out of gold, a strange ant hologram covered in golden armor and with 16 pairs of golden butterfly wings on its back suddenly appeared behind Meng Lei.

It bared its fangs and brandished its claws, its teeth waving about!

It threw its head back and roared into the sky, its voice resounding throughout the heavens!

“That… That’s…”

Ol’ Amos stared at the magnificent golden ant that had appeared out of the blue and exclaimed, “G-golden… Golden…

“No! That’s impossible! Absolutely impossible! Creatures like that have already gone extinct since a long time ago! It’s impossible that they still exist!”

Ol’ Amos rejected the notion vehemently. However, he suddenly discovered that Little Gold was actually prostrating and watching the golden hologram behind Meng Lei fearfully, quivering and shaking in its boots as it did so.

That expression on its face looked way too familiar to Ol’ Amos.

It was exactly how a Drake looked like when its bloodline got naturally suppressed upon encountering a pure-blooded Colossal Dragon.

“Could it be that…”

Ol’ Amos looked at Little Gold and then at the golden ant hologram behind Meng Lei, his heart gradually sinking.

Crackle, crackle!

At this point, a sudden change occurred again.

Amid spine-chilling cracking sounds, the surface of Meng Lei’s skin began to wriggle about violently, as though worms were crawling about underneath.

In the next instant, bloodstained golden scales began to emerge on Meng Lei’s skin like mushrooms sprouting after rain.

One scale, two scales, three scales…

It went out of control right after it started. A few breaths later, shiny, golden, strange-looking scales had covered Meng Lei’s entire body.

At the same time, bloodstained golden barbed spikes began to poke through his flesh and bones. Gleaming with a chilly glint, they grew out of his forearms, calves, knees, elbows, and other parts of his body.

Finally, two feelers that looked like triangular spike bayonets and covered in golden scales gradually grew out of Meng Lei’s forehead.

Everything finally came to a stop after that.

Just like that, with golden scales all over his body, golden feelers growing from his head, and barbed spikes all over him, the current Meng Lei had turned into a half-human, half-ant… monster!

Whoosh!

The pain faded rapidly like the receding tide, and Meng Lei’s consciousness gradually returned. He took huge gulps of air and panted heavily, feeling as though he had just gone to hell and back.

That sensation of living hell just now had simply left too deep of an impression on him. Compared to when he was assimilating the Fire Dragon bloodline and the Fire Demon bloodline previously, the pain he had felt just now was more than tenfold of those times.

Meng Lei swore that he never wanted to experience such pain that was worse than death itself ever again.

“Meng Lei…”

Ol’ Amos opened his mouth and called out Meng Lei’s name, only to find that the current Meng Lei looked so foreign to him, so much so that he didn’t really dare to acknowledge him.

“Ol’ President!”

After some effort, Meng Lei barely managed a smile at Ol’ Amos. However, in Ol’ Amos’ eyes, his smile simply looked so evil and strangely demonic.

Meng Lei’s pupils were actually red in color! Just like Little Gold’s eyes!

Ol’ Amos was ultimately not just any old, average person after all. He quickly suppressed his shock and asked anxiously, “M-Meng Lei, what exactly is this all about?”

“I don’t know how I should explain this, either!”

Meng Lei balled his fists slightly, taking in the surging, torrential tsunami-like power inside him. This power was infinitely stronger than when he had broken through to Ninth-Grade Warrior!

Every muscle fiber, every single bone, every single inch of his blood and flesh—all of them contained incredibly fearsome power!

It was as though… he had been reborn!

“Ol’ President, you can just treat this as an alternative kind of… bloodline awakening,” whispered Meng Lei softly.

“Bloodline awakening?”

A look of horror appeared on Ol’ Amos’ face. “Are you saying that there… There’s really Golden Gods-Slaying Ant bloodline hidden in your body?”

Meng Lei didn’t answer. Instead, he took in the sensation of the surging, turbulent, and fearsome power inside his body in detail.

The next moment, he bent his legs slightly and leaped into the air.

Boom!

His legs were just like two ultra-powerful springs. Tremendous power instantly erupted, and Meng Lei’s body rebounded into the air violently.

Whoosh!

Like a cannonball, Meng Lei instantly hurtled into the sky. In the twinkling of an eye, he had actually shot several hundred meters up into the sky.

“Oh my dragon god!”

Ol’ Amos raised his head and stared at Meng Lei, who had already turned into a little black dot. His mouth formed an ‘O’ so big that one could stuff an egg in!

Isn’t that a little too goddamn high?!

It wasn’t over yet, however!

The next instant, Meng Lei plummeted back down from high up in the sky. He smashed his fist into the ground, and with a loud boom, a violent, raging energy wave erupted into the surroundings.

Gales wreaked havoc, causing dirt and earth to fly everywhere!

The lands shook, and the mountains broke apart!

A huge, 100-meters-wide pit was imprinted in the ground, and Meng Lei stood in the center of the pit like a meteor that had crashed into the earth.

“This, this…” Ol’ Amos was flabbergasted. “That strength… He can probably match up to a pinnacle-level Ninth-Grade Magical Beast whose specialty is physical strength!”

A Magical Beast’s strength was its own body, and one whose specialty was physical strength was even the Hercules among Magical Beasts.

Let alone pinnacle-level Ninth-Grade Magical Beasts whose specialty was physical strength? With their physical strength alone, they could already compete with humans that had just stepped into the Saint Domain realm!

It was practically inconceivable for a human’s physical strength to be this potent.

“Although I don’t know what a Golden Gods-Slaying Ant is,” Meng Lei said as he stared at his own fists, terribly excited, “Its physical strength must be extremely domineering! After all, I’ve only just assimilated its bloodline, yet my physical strength is already this strong!

“In terms of pure physical strength, it has definitely surpassed a pure-blooded Fire Dragon!”
