Immortality Starts With Ignorant Heart Sword Art

Chapter 265: The Body of the Giant Ape, 500 Meters!

"Boom boom boom!"

The cocoon of the stone monkey was located in the heart of Zhong Cang's chest and abdomen. After the cocoon broke, the stone monkey emerged and immediately merged with Zhong Cang's heart.

Then, a surging and boundless power spread from Zhong Cang's heart.

"Bang bang bang..."

The heart is the engine of the human body.

When this heart gained immense energy, an immediate change occurred.

- Zhong Cang could only feel waves of surging energy constantly impacting his body.

After the fusion, his body's strength had increased significantly. Otherwise, Zhong Cang felt that the surging energy impact could directly crush him.

Even now, Zhong Cang was not feeling well.

The energy flowing out from his heart was too immense and too violent.

This pure and extreme power made Zhong Cang feel like his body was expanding in the impact.

"No, this is not an illusion, my body has really grown bigger."

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Now, with each beat of Zhong Cang's heart, the surging and powerful energy would impact his body from the inside out, causing his body to expand and increase by one meter after each energy impact.

At the same time, as his body grew larger, abundant hair would also grow on Zhong Cang's face and body.

Originally, after absorbing the essence of many dragon veins, Zhong Cang's body gradually transformed into a dragon person.

But at this moment, the excessive energy once again impacted Zhong Cang's body, transforming him from a dragon person into a fiery ape.

"Roar!"

As his body expanded and grew taller, an unparalleled power surged within Zhong Cang's heart.

With a blade in hand, the desire to kill arose.

The majestic power made Zhong Cang always want to destroy something.

Fortunately, Zhong Cang's soul was strong enough to restrain his destructive desires.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"...

While Zhong Cang suppressed his inner destructive desires, his heart continued to beat vigorously.

At the same time, the energy accumulated by the Yunmeng Dragon Palace for five hundred years, which Zhong Cang had just absorbed, was released one by one.

And with each release, Zhong Cang's body as a fiery ape would expand by one meter.

Once, twice, three times, ten times, fifty times, one hundred times...

Soon, Zhong Cang's heart had beaten a hundred times.

Under the impact of the surging energy, Zhong Cang's body had also grown to a height of one hundred meters.

The enormous size allowed the power within Zhong Cang's body to reach a terrifying level.

At this moment, he truly possessed the immense strength to carry mountains.

And one hundred meters was still not the limit of the fiery ape.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The quality of the essence of the dragon veins was very high, and Zhong Cang had absorbed five hundred years' worth through the True Essence of Food.

The combination of the two caused Zhong Cang's body to wildly expand.

One hundred meters, one hundred and eight, one hundred and thirty, one hundred and fifty, two hundred, two hundred and forty, two hundred and eighty... three hundred!

Three hundred meters was still not the limit for Zhong Cang.

However, at this point, Zhong Cang was also approaching his limit.

Although he had absorbed the essence of the dragon veins for five hundred years, the larger his body became, the more energy it required.

In the early stages, one heartbeat would cause Zhong Cang to grow by one meter.

Now, it took two or three heartbeats, or even three to five heartbeats, for Zhong Cang to grow by one meter.

As energy consumption exponentially increased, Zhong Cang's body eventually stopped at three hundred and sixty-five meters!

"Hoo..."

Three hundred and sixty-five meters, this was an extremely exaggerated number.

In the previous life, another famous giant ape, King Kong, had a body size of only 30 to 50 meters when it first appeared.

Even in the movie where King Kong battled Godzilla, King Kong's height was only 120 meters.

Compared to the first appearance of King Kong, Zhong Cang's body size was close to ten times that.

As for the later appearance of King Kong, Zhong Cang's body size was three times larger.

From another perspective, the enormity of Zhong Cang's body could also be seen.

In the classic King Kong movie, it climbed up the Empire State Building and fought airplanes.

If Zhong Cang were in its place, it wouldn't even need to climb. The Empire State Building, without its antenna, was only 381 meters tall, slightly taller than Zhong Cang now.

Zhong Cang could reach the top of the Empire State Building with just a stretch of his hand.

If Zhong Cang were to confront someone around the Empire State Building, he could even use the immense power within his body to lift the building and turn it into a spear or a projectile to attack the enemy.

"Invincible power!"

Zhong Cang now had a feeling that he didn't need any other abilities. With just his physical body, he could be invincible at the same level and push everything aside.

"A perfect physique!"

Incarnating as a giant god, Zhong Cang was somewhat obsessed with the immense power within his body.

However, despite his excitement, the water demons who guarded the dragon veins of the mountains and rivers didn't look too good.

Although Zhong Cang didn't intentionally emit any pressure, the presence of such a massive creature standing before them made everyone feel the weight.

Especially when Zhong Cang moved his body, causing the earth to tremble with a single step, it made him even more terrifying.

Even Qing Qiu Shangren and the Turtle Prime Minister marveled at the strength of Zhong Cang's physical body.

They had seen a height of three hundred meters before, but a Foundation Building Stage cultivator with a body that size was something they had rarely encountered.

What Qing Qiu Shangren didn't know was that three hundred and sixty-five meters was not Zhong Cang's limit.

"The power accumulated by the dragon veins of the mountains and rivers only allows me to grow to three hundred and sixty-five meters, but besides the refining aura and the Five Beasts Infusion Technique, I have other abilities."

"If I activate the Heavenly Heart and the Earth Heart, unfold the Eight Trigrams, and gather the power of heaven and earth within me, it is possible for my body to continue to grow."

"In the end, my body could possibly reach around five hundred meters!"

With such a magnificent physical body, Zhong Cang dared to contend with a Gold Core cultivator.

However, if he were in the midst of battle, Zhong Cang wouldn't actually expand his body to five hundred meters.

After all, a massive physical body would indeed enhance his strength.

But an excessively large form would not only consume a tremendous amount of energy, but also make Zhong Cang somewhat unwieldy and less agile.

Moreover, a huge body would weaken Zhong Cang's defense.

Therefore, five hundred meters may look intimidating, but it is not the best form for battle.

Even the normal state of three hundred and sixty-five meters is not ideal.

After estimating in his mind, Zhong Cang realized that his best form for battle was one hundred and eight meters.

In this state, he possessed unparalleled strength and extraordinary agility.

As for defense, it reached its limit due to the reduction in size.

...

After completing the fusion of the aura, and the transformation of the Heartfire Bursting Ape into the Earth and Heaven Stone Monkey, Zhong Cang gained another ability.

More importantly, through this transformation, Zhong Cang finally addressed the last flaw in his body.

Previously, although Zhong Cang had the Heavenly Heart and the Sword Heart, making his attack power unrivaled, he was quite vulnerable to close combat—well, not that he was afraid, but the protection of the Earth Heart, the restrictions and pulls of gravity and attraction, the cover of dense fog, and the spatial transfer of the Five Spirits Conveyance, Zhong Cang had as many means of self-defense as he needed.

However, the weakness of his physical body was still a weak point for Zhong Cang.

But now, if you dare to come close, I dare to crush you!

Moreover, the powerful physical qualities also allowed Zhong Cang to make more aggressive moves.

Just like the rotation of the Five Elements, Zhong Cang could attempt a 124-fold fission within his body.

Of course, while there are many benefits, there are also disadvantages.

...Because he absorbed too much energy in one breath, Zhong Cang is currently experiencing indigestion.

Therefore, until the energy is completely digested, Zhong Cang can only maintain this giant ape body.

Soon, Zhong Cang discovered that his troubles were not limited to just this.

"Take on disciples?!!"

"Boom..."

Zhong Cang exclaimed, like thunder, and his voice traveled dozens of miles away.

Qing Qiu, who was in front of Zhong Cang, also felt a bit of ringing in his ears.

Upon hearing this, Qing Qiu raised an eyebrow and said, "Lower your voice."

Hearing this, Zhong Cang felt a bit wronged.

"This is already the quietest voice I can make."

"..."

Looking at Zhong Cang's massive body like a small mountain, Qing Qiu had to admit that this was indeed his quietest voice.

With a sigh, Qing Qiu could only use divine sense to communicate with Zhong Cang... If they were to communicate verbally, even if they spoke softly, their voices could be heard dozens of miles away, which was not what Qing Qiu wanted to see.

Using divine sense communication was much more convenient.

Zhong Cang: "Why do I have to take those dragon girls as disciples?"

"There's no other way. You have absorbed too much evil energy, depleting the Cloud Dream Dragon City's accumulated wealth of five hundred years. They want compensation!"

"..."

This time, Zhong Cang fell silent.

The request from the Dragon Palace was reasonable, and no one could say anything about it.

And as for compensation, one could imagine that the evil energy from the mountains and rivers of five hundred years was definitely worth a fortune in spirit stones.

Just as Zhong Cang remained speechless, Qing Qiu continued, "Originally, the sect was prepared to compensate with spirit stones. But as you know, the sect is currently at war and there are many places where spirit stones are needed. Of course, if the Dragon Palace continues to demand compensation, we will give it to them."

"However, they didn't do that. Instead, they made a suggestion... If you are willing to marry a dragon girl as your wife, the Dragon Palace will give you the evil energy from the mountains and rivers as a dowry for the dragon girl."

"And if you really are willing to marry a dragon girl, the dowry given by the Dragon Palace will not only include the evil energy you absorbed, but also other treasures that can help you cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage."

At this point, Qing Qiu also sighed, having always heard about the wealth of the Dragon Palace, but now she truly witnessed it.

There is a saying that when a mortal royal family marries off their daughter, there is a ten-mile red wedding procession.

But that is an exaggeration, at most it means spreading red cloth for ten miles.

However, the Dragon Palace can truly spread the dowry for ten miles and more.

This time, Zhong Cang also fell silent. After a while, he transmitted his voice, "Master, have you agreed?"

"No, a wife is someone who will support you for a lifetime, and I don't want you to have any grievances... However, after rejecting the proposal of marriage, the Dragon Palace did not give up. They want you to teach some dragon girls as compensation for the loss of the evil energy from the mountains and rivers..."
