Chapter 292: Crushing The Pope, Immolation

"Your Holiness!"

"His Holiness has finally made his move!"

"His Holiness is a lesser deity and the top expert in Light Continent. With him around, that evil deity is doomed!"

"Your Holiness, you must kill that evil deity..."

Everyone in the Light Church went into a frenzy the moment Pope Hayes launched his attack.

Their eyes, full of anticipation, shone brightly and keenly as they watched the pope in the sky.

"Sir, you'll definitely beat him! Definitely!"

The Holy Maiden of Light's expression was filled with hope, too.

Now that things had come to such a pass, the Light Church could be said to have revealed all of its trump cards. If even the pope couldn't defeat Meng Lei, then only one outcome awaited the Light Church—annihilation.

Therefore, everyone had pinned all their hopes on Pope Hayes.

At the same time, while all these happened, the seven true gods that had previously fled actually hadn't completely left yet. After fleeing for a distance that they felt was safe enough, they stopped to observe the battleground from a far distance.

All of them wanted to know how the battle today would conclude and who the victor would be.

Boom!

Golden divine light shone down from above, instantly shrouding Meng Lei within. Fearsome power capable of melting things assaulted him and began to furiously dissolve his body.

Meng Lei's clothes had been fully dissolved in the blink of an eye, revealing his long, slender, and well-built physique—including his shaft.

"As long as you're a lesser deity, you'll definitely perish under my attacks!"

Pope Hayes watched Meng Lei closely. He was fairly confident in his abilities.

After all, he was a pinnacle-level lesser deity. On top of that, his By Our Lord's Decree secret arts even had its origins from the Celestial Realm. It was ten times more powerful than pure light-elemental divine techniques.

How could lesser deities possibly withstand attacks like that?

However, one second passed... Three seconds passed... Ten seconds passed... Half a minute passed...

Yet Meng Lei remained well and intact. Aside from his clothes that had dissolved, his divine body showed no signs of dissolving at all. In fact, every strand of body hair was standing tall and proud.

"So, that's what your attack is like, Your Holiness?"

Netherworld Divine Fire rose around him and covered his "vital parts". Meng Lei looked at Pope Hayes and said dispassionately, "Isn't it a little too weak? It can't even count as a tickle."

"Why is this happening?"

Pope Hayes was filled with disbelief. He exclaimed, "My divine technique attacks are capable of inflicting grievous wounds on lesser deities. You can't possibly be unaffected at all! Absolutely not!"

"Your Holiness, you might be mistaken about something," Meng Lei shook his head, "I've never said that I'm a lesser deity."

"Not a lesser deity? Could you be—"

Pope Hayes' expression changed drastically. Meng Lei teleported right in front of him at this moment and dealt a light palm strike against his chest.

"Ugh!"

Pope Hayes coughed up blood and fell backward, crashing violently against the milky-white light shield.

"Sir!!"

"Your Holiness!"

The expressions of everyone from the Light Church changed greatly as they stared at the sight in disbelief.

A single move!

He had defeated the pope with just a single move!

Just how frighteningly strong was he?

"An intermediate deity! He must be an intermediate deity!"

Fear and horror surfaced in the Holy Maiden of Light's eyes as she murmured, "O noble Lord, he's actually an intermediate deity! How can he be an intermediate deity?"

Intermediate deities were absolute invincible existences on the Heaven's Vault Continent existential plane. There was no way they could defeat an intermediate deity even if they were to amass all of the Light Church's power. The gap in strength was too great!

"A miscalculation! I've made a miscalculation!"

An unsteady Pope Hayes flew back into the air. There was blood at the corners of his lips. He said, "I didn't expect Your Holiness to be an intermediate deity. I was blind!"

"It's not too late to become aware of it now."

Meng Lei flicked his fingers and said dispassionately, "Your Holiness, I admire your strength and courage very much. I'll give you a chance to live—submit to me and become the Meng Lei Holy Cult's pope!"

"I'm afraid I'll have to let you down, Your Holiness."

Pope Hayes coughed up a mouthful of blood and said, "As our Lord's servant, I will only worship our noble Lord for all of my life. It's impossible for me to change my faith to worship someone else."

"What a real shame!" Meng Lei was rather regretful. "In that case, sorry about this!"

Meng Lei slowly raised a finger. Netherworld Divine Fire burst forth from his fingertip, and a black spear aimed from a distance at Pope Hayes quietly formed.

"Netherworld Divine Fire!"

Pope Hayes' pupils constricted. He could sense great danger approaching. He hastily wielded the pastoral staff in his hand and commanded, "By Our Lord's Decree—Let There Be Light!"

Whoosh!

Surging golden divine light gushed from the pastoral staff, forming a golden wall in front of him as he prepared to block Meng Lei's attack.

"This move again? Looks like you've exhausted all your abilities, Your Holiness."

The black spear formed from Netherworld Divine Fire shot out like a piercing arrow with a casual wave from Meng Lei and instantly appeared right in front of the golden wall.

Splurt!

It pierced through the golden wall with barely any obstruction before, subsequently piercing through Pope Hayes' chest and coming out from the other side.

"Ugh!"

Blood spurted from Pope Hayes' mouth. He stared at the black hole in his chest in stunned silence, all his fighting spirit and determination turning into despair and a sense of powerlessness at this moment.

"It's too great! The gap between the two of us is simply too great!"

Pope Hayes let out a resigned laugh and said, "Now that things have reached such a pass, I can only resort to that!"

Then, he looked at Meng Lei and then at the Shrine of Light and the Light Church masses shrouded by the light shield. He let out a hoarse shout, "The Light Church lives on! Our Lord's brilliance will shine upon the world for all of eternity!

"Immolate!"

Dazzling flames of light suddenly burst forth from all over him. Then, the originally holy and sacred flames of light began to burn Pope Hayes furiously.

His life force began to wane at a terrifying speed, like water rapidly flowing out of a bottomless bucket.

"This is... An immolation spell?"

Ol' Amos' expression changed drastically at the sight. He shouted, "Meng Lei, stop him! He's immolating! He's summoning the Angels! Things would become troublesome once the Angels descend!"

"Immolating? Summoning the Angels?"

Meng Lei raised an eyebrow. He wasn't that surprised, though.

Ol' Amos had already told him that the Light Church was capable of summoning Angels from the Celestial Realm. However, the move was highly reminiscent of the Seven Injuries Fist[1].

If one wished to summon beings, then they must first offer sacrifices.

Immolation would burn away almost all of the sacrifice's life essence and the greater half of their divine spirit. In less severe cases, they would suffer a great loss of combat prowess, while in serious cases, they might lose their lives!

Immolation could be said to be an act that was close to going down together with the enemy. It was precisely because the price they had to pay for immolation was too great that the seven true gods from earlier would rather flee.

"The stronger the sacrifice is, the more powerful the summoned Angel would be!"

Ol' Amos shouted in a deep voice, "Pope Hayes is a lesser deity, so the Angel that he'll summon in return for burning his divine body and divine spirit would definitely be incredibly fearsome!"

Meng Lei shook his head lightly and said with a smile, "I've not seen a real Angel yet, Ol' President. Just as well that I take this opportunity to take a good look!"

"Take a good look?"

Ol' Amos was rather incensed. He said, "This is a matter of grave importance that concerns your life, yet you're saying that you want to 'take a good look'? What if the Angel that he summons is stronger than you?"

"It'll be fine! Don't worry. No one can be stronger than me in this existential plane!"

Buzz...

The pope's divine body began to visibly wane and shrivel up as the immolation continued. His originally strong and powerful divine spirit also weakened further and further...

At last, by the final stages of the immolation process, Pope Hayes had completely become an old man that was all skin and bone and with one foot in the grave. A golden dimensional gate had also appeared above him.

"Who has summoned me?"

Chapter 293: Six-Winged Angel, Submitting Was Really Flagrant

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

"Who has summoned me?"

A voice full of dignified might rang, and a dazzling golden beam of light fell from the dimensional gate above the pope's head.

Boom!

An extremely tyrannical aura spread out from the golden light beam, like fierce golden tidal waves sweeping in all directions.

Thud!

Thud!

The Knights of Light on the Holy Mountain of Light were pressed uncontrollably on the ground. They could not raise their heads at all as they trembled in extreme horror.

Even the Holy Maiden of Light and other high figureheads, half-deities who were shrouded in a light shield, felt suffocated and alarmed.

"Such... Such a terrifying aura! It's definitely over the level of lesser deity!"

"It was certain that our pope could summon such a powerful Celestial Angel!"

The Light Church's half-deities were agitated as if they had already witnessed the scene of Meng Lei being defeated in a dominating fashion, even him getting killed.

The entire place went into an uproar as a lofty and majestic figure appeared out of the fading golden beams.

The head was adorned with a golden halo, its hands held onto a golden spear, both feet were naked, and three pairs of golden feathered wings grew on the back.

"Six-Winged Angel!"

"It's comparable to an intermediate deity, a Six-Winged Angel!"

"We are saved! The Light Church is saved! Look, we are saved!"

Everyone was thrown in a frenzied joy. The Holy Maiden of Light was equally agitated—as a part of the church, how could she not know the various levels and combat prowess of angels?

Angels were classified into three tiers:

Four-Winged Low Order Angels—equivalent to a lesser deity.

Six-Winged Middle Order Angels—equivalent to an intermediate deity.

Eight-Winged High Order Angels—equivalent to a higher deity.

Every tier was split into three classes.

Among them, the three classes of the Middle Order Angels were: Powers, Virtues, Dominions. Each class was stronger than the class before, one mightier than the other.

The angel that descended upon this time had six wings, a proper intermediate deity.

How powerful was an intermediate deity like that?

Wonder which class among the Middle Order Angels this angel is. If it is Dominions, we'll surely win today's battle!

The Holy Maiden of Light thought with an agitated gaze, her eyes full of hope and expectations.

"Who has summoned me?"

The six-winged angel lowered his head and looked at the skeletal Pope Hayes. His voice was extremely majestic.

"Your Grace, it was I who summoned you!"

Pope Hayes was on his dying breath, but his eyes were sparkling as he pointed at Meng Lei and said, "Your Grace, I'm the Light Church's Pope in this existential plane, and an evil blasphemer has emerged here!

"He's aiming to destroy our Light Church and cut off our Lord's faith. I hope that Your Grace will mete out divine punishment and eliminate such a heretic to protect our Church!"

Having said these words, Pope Hayes dropped to the floor as if he had consumed every bit of strength left in him.

If not for his chest movements, people would have thought that he died already.

"Blasphemer?"

The six-winged angel looked at Meng Lei with a sharp glint bursting forth from his eyes.

"Anyone who dares to blaspheme my Lord deserves death! I... Lorenzo Philmore the Virtue Angel, hereby sentence you to death!"

The mighty voice was still reverberating in the air as the spear in the six-winged angel's hands had already reached Meng Lei's forehead.

Whoosh!

The spear hit an afterimage. Meng Lei appeared strangely a few meters away and looked at the six-winged angel with great interest.

He could sense that this Virtue Angel was not a divinity projection but a true body that had descended.

It was unexpected!

"Dodola, isn't it that deities could not descend upon low-end existential planes? Why could this six-winged angel do so in Light Continent?"

"Nothing is absolute. There are loopholes within the rules of heaven and earth!"

Dodola explained simply. "Indeed, under normal circumstances, deities could not descend upon low-end existential planes. However, arcane immolation spells, like the one that the Light Church used here, can temporarily create a dimensional gate and summon deities from the Void.

"Of course, this kind of immolation spell comes under race secret arts, so most deities would not know of it. There are only a few deities who could use it across the entire Void."

"I see..."

Meng Lei nodded slightly.

"Such agility!"

After missing his strike, the six-winged angel was slightly surprised. "You can actually dodge my attack, so it seems you're not an ordinary true god. Still, facing me, any kind of speed will be futile!"

"Angel's Domain!"

Buzz...

A golden ripple spread around and shrouded Meng Lei's area, imprisoning the space along with Meng Lei in his spot.

"Dealing with such a lowly deity, a God's Domain will be enough!"

The six-winged angel took a step forward, and his spear was already pointed at Meng Lei's forehead.

"Blasphemer, the moment when you desecrated my Lord, your fate was sealed! Go to hell!"

The spearhead only needed to be thrust forward, and it would pierce right through Meng Lei's forehead. However, Lorenzo came to realize that he couldn't move as simple movements that could be done easily previously were now heavier than ever to the point of immobilization.

"What happened?"

Lorenzo could not believe it—he was an intermediate deity. It might not mean a lot among the rest of the angels, but descending in a low-end existential plane should make him unstoppable, right?

How could he be immobilized?

"Is your divine body immobilized?"

Meng Lei smiled and gazed upon the six-winged angel.

"This is... the Power of Existential Plane?"

Lorenzo sensed the power that imprisoned him, and then his expression changed drastically.

"You've refined the Heart of The Existential Planes and become this existential plane's master?"

"You've guessed it right!"

Meng Lei smiled as he nodded. "Oh, let me add that I'm an intermediate deity, which is the same level as you. So, even without the Power of Existential Plane, you God's Domain can't do anything against me."

As he spoke, Meng Lei stepped forward and appeared mysteriously in front of the six-winged angel and blasted a punch.

"Ugh!"

It was as if the six-winged angel's body was thunderstruck. His intestines were dislocated while blood shot out like an arrow from his abdomen.

"This power... Indeed, an intermediate deity!"

Lorenzo's holy face turned pale, and he suddenly looked at Pope Hayes, his eyes filled with immense rage and hate.

"You damned idiotic fool! Are you blind? How could you summon me into an existential plane that has a master? Are you trying to get me killed, you foolish turd!?"

Lorenzo was infuriated—Meng Lei was an intermediate deity that matched their levels already, now he was also this existential plane's master—how was he possibly going to match Meng Lei?

He was only an ordinary Virtues Angel, letting him face-off against the existential plane's master, who was also an intermediate deity. Was this not an attempt to get him killed?

The infuriating thing was that the foolish pope had not even figured out Meng Lei's background properly and summoned him here rashly—this was pushing him into a pit of hell!

Although his breath was faint, Pope Hayes was still barely alive. He wanted to stay alive until the battle was over and Meng Lei was defeated, which meant the continuation of the Light Church's rule.

Hence, he was not dead as he paid close attention to Meng Lei's battle with the six-winged angel.

When Meng Lei seemed trapped, he cheered internally as he thought, That was the power of the six-winged angel, stopping Meng Lei with just his God's Domain.

Yet, right now, in this very moment where he was being shouted at by Lorenzo, he was dumbfounded. "Your Grace, I... I..."

"You damned fool!'

The six-winged angel glared at the Pope furiously. "Did you not know that he had already refined the Heart of The Existential Planes and became the master of the existential plane?"

"Master of the existential plane?"

Pope Hayes' expression changed immensely. The Light Church had been around for hundreds of thousands of years, and as the pope, how would he not understand the meaning of the master of an existential plane?

The master of an existential plane could utilize the entire power of the existential plane. It was no exaggeration that the master would be invincible in his own existential plane.

Meng Lei was the master of this existential plane?

"You didn't even know if he was the master of the existential plane and summoned me carelessly? What a fool!"

The six-winged angel was incredibly furious, but now that it had come to this point, any scoldings would be pointless. Thus, he turned his head to look at Meng Lei.

"Sir, I might have unknowingly offended you previously, and I beg for your forgiveness. I'll leave immediately!"

With that said, he rose into the air and was about to return into the dimensional gate and leave the Light Continent.

"Hold it!"

Meng Lei opened his mouth. "Who says that you can come and go at will? What do you treat this place as?"

"What do you want?"

Lorenzo's pupils contracted as he stared at Meng Lei coldly, his eyes flickering with rage.

"I heard that you angels are natural slaves and lackeys of the Goddess of Light. You are also extremely skilled in the art of servicing, right?"

Meng Lei snapped his fingers.

"How dare you!"

Lorenzo's expression turned grim. "Sir, do you know what you're saying?

"Oh?"

Meng Lei raised an eyebrow.

"You're desecrating our great Goddess of Light!"

Lorenzo barked fiercely. "A lowly low-end existential plane master who dares to desecrate my Lord, you've sinned!

"Sinned?"

Meng Lei sneered. "If provoking the Goddess of Light means that I'm sinful, then I have cursed Hades, slept with the Grim Reaper, and even screwed around with the Goddess of Life, does that mean that I've committed the most sinful crimes where I should be cut with a thousand knives?"

"You goddamned blasphemer!"

Lorenzo was shaking furiously. "You're deeply mired in sin! Your crimes are mounting into the sky! You've committed heinous sins, and a thousand deaths will not atone for your sins—"

"Are you done yet?"

Meng Lei waved his hands impatiently. "If you're done talking, I'll give you a chance to live if you hand over your divine spirit origin energy and submit to me."

"Submit? You're asking me to submit to you?"

The six-winged angel flew into a rage. "I'm a part of the Angel Gods, a great servant of the Goddess of Light. I would rather die, fall upon hell eternally, become the devil that I hated the most than to submit to you!"

"Not submitting? Then prepare to die."

Meng Lei sneered coldly as black flames lit up in his hands. "I guess I'll use the Netherworld Divine Fire to burn your divine body and divine spirit so that your soul will be gone forever."

Upon looking at the Netherworld Divine Fire in Meng Lei's hands, Lorenzo even thought about dying for the first time in his entire life.

He's the master of this existential plane and an intermediate deity. Now, he's also a Divine Netherworld Phoenix? Just how did a monster like that emerge from a low-end existential plane!?

"It's time, Your Grace. You should get going and report to hell early!"

Meng Lei teleported before Lorenzo instantly. However, he had not initiated his attack, and the previously passionate fervent angel was already kneeling before Meng Lei's feet.

"D-don't burn me! I... I submit!"

Meng Lei, "..."

Ol' Amos, "..."

Holy Maiden of Light, "..."

Pope Hayes, "..." *passed away*

Chapter 294: The Church Is Annihilated, The Great God Kroc

Never in his wildest dreams would the pope have ever expected that the angel that he had sacrificed himself to summon would actually conduct himself thus. He had chosen to submit when they had barely fought!

Was he really an angel from the upper realm?

Was he really that lacking of a backbone?

The pope was almost driven mad with fury. Unable to catch his breath, he breathed his last. He could be said to be the pope that had died in the weirdest way in the Light Church's tens of thousands of years of history!

Just as stunned were the seven true gods that had fled. Although they were very far away from the battleground, this bit of distance was nothing to them.

The angel from the upper realm had surrendered!

On top of that, he had surrendered without even putting up a fight!

He's a great six-winged Virtue Angel, yet he actually has no backbone at all? He's practically an embarrassment!

The seven true gods really wished they could give voice to their contempt toward him, but when they thought about themselves by association, they couldn't muster up any feelings of contempt at all.

The angel from the upper realm had surrendered, but they had also fled.

This was nothing more than just the pot calling the kettle black. They were no different from each other, so what right did they have to look down on him?

However, they couldn't help but feel extremely thankful.

That's right, thankful!

The seven true gods were thankful that they had chickened out and ran in the face of danger instead of stubbornly opposing Meng Lei like the Holy Maiden and the pope, yet only to end up in such a state.

"The Light Church is finished!"

"There's no longer any place for us in the Light Continent. Where should we go from now on?"

"Release your divine spirit origin energy."

"Yes, sir!"

Lorenzo, the six-winged angel, didn't dare to dally. He hurriedly handed over his divine spirit origin energy and allowed Meng Lei to refine it and take control of his life and death.

Meng Lei asked dispassionately, "Your name is Lorenzo?"

"Yes, sir. My name is Lorenzo Philmore," replied the six-winged angel respectfully.

Meng Lei raised an eyebrow and asked, "Do the other Angels also lack a backbone like you?"

"Sir, this..."

At once, Lorenzo flushed a crimson red as he stammered—he didn't know how he should respond to Meng Lei.

"Never mind. Since you've submitted to me, then fulfill your duty to me properly. Should you dare so much as to harbor thoughts of betrayal, I'll destroy your divine spirit and let you die a terrible death!"

"Yes, yes!"

Satisfied with Lorenzo's response, Meng Lei then turned to the Holy Maiden of Light and the Light Church's higher management officers, who were still in the light shield.

His gaze caused blood to drain from the Holy Maiden of Light and the others' faces right away. Every one of them lowered their heads in fear, too scared to meet Meng Lei's gaze.

To them, Meng Lei was even scarier than a demon from hell and even more terrifying than a Demon God.

"How did this happen?"

The Holy Maiden of Light was filled with grief and sorrow. Never would she have ever imagined that the great six-winged angel that was mighty-looking and awe-inspiring one moment would immediately submit to Meng Lei the next.

He completely didn't meet their expectations at all!

What were they to do now?

What should the Light Church do?

Where should they go from now on?

Meng Lei asked dispassionately, "Are you going to come out here on your own, or do you want me to drag all of you out?"

They didn't respond, however.

The higher management officers were filled with fear and horror, yet not a single one of them answered Meng Lei. It was hard to tell whether it was because they were too frightened to answer or they were pinning their hopes on the light shield. In any case, no one responded.

"You just don't give up, do you?"

Meng Lei shook his head lightly. Then, he formed a sword with his fingers and drew a slash across the air.

Slash!

An invisible sword glint appeared out of thin air and shot out, instantly cleaving against the light shield. A slashing sound rang out, and then the light shield that was capable of withstanding multiple attacks from an intermediate deity broke into two without warning. Then, it shattered with a boom and vanished without a trace.

"The light shield... has been broken so easily?"

The Holy Maiden of Light gasped. She knew that Meng Lei was very strong, but she hadn't expected him to actually be that strong. How terrifying!

In this instant, she suddenly somewhat understood why the angel had chosen submission. When faced against such a powerful entity like Meng Lei, was he supposed to choose death over submission?

"It's your turn now."

Meng Lei gazed at the Light Church's higher management officers and asked, "Which would you like—to live or to die?"

Thud!

Someone dropped onto their knees right away.

"S-sir, I'm willing to submit! I beg only for you to give me a way out!"

"Good!" Meng Lei nodded slightly. "What about the rest of you?"

Thud!

Thud!

Thud!

With someone taking the initiative to submit first, the second one naturally also came...

In a short few seconds, all 108 half-deities had gotten onto their knees. Only one person still remained standing—Altacia, the Holy Maiden of Light.

Meng Lei looked at her and said, "They've all submitted. Why haven't you?"

Altacia replied coldly, "I am the Light Church's Holy Maiden of Light. You may take my life, but don't even dream of forcing me to submit to you. I will never abandon my faith even if I die!"

"Go to hell, then!"

Meng Lei pointed at her casually. A bloody hole formed in between her brows right away, and she collapsed onto the ground—she had actually died on the spot.

The sight badly frightened the 108 half-deities. They were filled with lingering fears at once—if they hadn't submitted, they would probably have ended up like the Holy Maiden.

"Aren't you a little too heartless, kid? You actually killed her?"

Ol' Amos couldn't help but diss him. He said, "Why do you not possess any protective feelings for the fairer sex at all? Have you not awakened to your carnal desires yet? But that shouldn't be!"

"To hell with your 'carnal desires'!"

Meng Lei rolled his eyes. Then, he said, "I'll give these Light Church half-deities and the Light Continent all to you, Ol' President!"

"Really?"

Ol' Amos' eyes sparkled.

"Really!"

Meng Lei nodded. He said, "My business here is more or less finished, so it's about time I leave. Will you leave with me? Or are you going to continue staying here for the time being?"

Ol' Amos found himself in a struggle at once. After being away from Heaven's Vault Continent for over 2 years, he wanted to go back and take a look around, of course. He especially wanted to go back and visit his younger sister.

But the problem was that the Light Church had only just been dissolved, and the Light Continent had only just come into his possession. There were so many half-deities that he needed to subdue. On top of that, there was the Light Continent itself, too...

It was exactly the time for him to show his skill and shine. How would he possibly bear to leave? What a struggle!

Meng Lei knew what Ol' Amos was thinking the moment he saw the troubled look on his face. Rendered somewhat speechless, he said, "Ol' President, your mindset has become somewhat inflexible."

"What's wrong?"

Ol' Amos was puzzled.

Meng Lei said, "Wouldn't everything be solved if you just build teleportation magic circles on the two continents? Wouldn't traveling between the continents become just a matter of seconds after that?"

"Teleportation magic circles? Darn, why did that slip my mind?" Ol' Amos smacked his forehead with a look of annoyance on his face. "By the way, you're the master of this existential plane?"

"The man himself!"

"That's great!"

Ol' Amos was awfully excited. He said, "I'll leave the matter of building the teleportation magic circles to you! This shouldn't be a problem for you since you're the master of the existential plane, right?"

Had anyone else dared to order him about like that, Meng Lei would have given them a tight slap across the cheek a long time ago. With Ol' Amos, though, Meng Lei instead obediently did what he was told.

Of course, building teleportation magic circles was indeed a very simple task for him. He took only five minutes to build the teleportation magic circles connecting the two continents. An excited Ol' Amos then gave it a test run and went back and forth between the two continents. True enough, it was indeed very convenient.

Ol' Amos couldn't help but marvel, "You built them so quickly! As expected, the master of the existential plane is indeed very powerful!"

"Of course!"

Meng Lei was terribly smug.

At that moment, Lorenzo, the six-winged angel, suddenly spoke up. He said, "The summoning duration is up, Master. I have to leave soon. Do you have any orders for me?"

Meng Lei replied, "Just one—do your best to collect things like Divinity Crystals, Laws of Nature Origin Crystals, and gold coins. The more, the merrier, get it?"

"Yes, Master!"

Lorenzo answered respectfully as he undertook the task.

"Go!"

Meng Lei waved.

"Take care, Master!"

Lorenzo bowed slightly. Then, he transformed into a golden ray of light and shot into the dimensional gate.

Meng Lei closed his eyes and began to carefully trace the divine spirit mark that he'd left on Lorenzo. Then, he detected the presence of an enormous existential plane—the Light Divine Realm.

That's right, the Light Divine Realm!

As a powerful godly clan that was in no way inferior to the Titan Gods, traces of the Angel Gods could be found all over the vast universe. Be it the Celestial Realm—which was one of the two most supreme existential planes—the ten major Divine Realms, or other low-end existential planes, traces of the Angel Gods could be found in all of them.

And evidently, Lorenzo, the Six-Winged Virtue Angel, was an angel from the Light Divine Realm.

"It's time I leave, but before I do..." Meng Lei turned to Ol' Amos, "Do you want to take a tour around the Light Church's treasury, Ol' President?"

"A tour around the Light Church's treasury?"

Ol' Amos' eyes lit up, but he shook his head shortly after. He said, "Never mind, this old man is already content with what he has now. I don't really care that much about mere worldly possessions anymore."

"Don't you regret it."

A smiling Meng Lei teased jokingly before vanishing.

"You've already given me a lot, brat. It'd be too greedy of me if I hanker after the Light Church's treasury, too."

Ol' Amos shook his head. Then, he turned to the Light Church's higher management officers and said, "The Light Church has been annihilated. From today onward, all of you will become the Kroc Holy Sect's higher management officers instead. Any objections?"

"As you wish, sir!"

"Great!"

Ol' Amos was highly satisfied with their attitudes. After all, these were 108 half-deities! Just how terrifying a force were they?

They would become his best tools for unifying the Light Continent and spreading his faith!

"Listen up! This is my first order—destroy all the Goddess of Light statues in the Light Continent and replace them with my, the Great God Kroc's, statues..."

Chapter 295: The Ancient Tree of Life, The Ancient God Bloodline

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

As an existence that had stood tall and proud for tens of thousands of years, the Light Church had a much longer history than Heaven's Vault Continent's Dragon God Empire, Beast People Empire, and Titan Empire.

One could easily imagine just how wealthy the Light Church must be and how spectacular a sight their treasury must be.

Hills of Laws of Nature Origin Crystals, heaps and heaps of elemental crystals and laws of nature fragments, as well as innumerable magic materials and magic devices...

The Laws of Nature Origin Crystals went straight into the system while he collected the elemental crystals and magic crystals, as well as the Saint Domain magic devices and half-divine weapons, and stored them away.

An awfully jubilant Meng Lei collected them all before coming to the area where special items were stored at last.

Largely similar to the Dragon God Empire's special items and the Titan Empire's treasuries, the ones here were also a trove of weird and wonderful things.

True god remains, Demon God hearts, fascinating ores, true god-level divine weapons...

There was a dazzling array of items that came in all kinds and variations.

The system's voice rang out at this point.

"Ding! Dropped item detected. Will you pick it up?"

"Yes, pick it up!"

"Ding! Pickup successful. You have obtained the Four-Winged Angel bloodline. Will you assimilate it?"

"No, don't assimilate it."

"Ding! Dropped item detected. Will you pick it up?"

"Yes, pick it up!"

"Ding! Pickup successful. You have obtained the Ancient Tree of Life bloodline. Will you assimilate it?"

"The Ancient Tree of Life bloodline? What kind of bloodline is that?"

Meng Lei couldn't help but shift his gaze to the item currently in front of him—it was an ordinary-looking piece of wood that was over a meter long and about the thickness of an adult's arm.

"This is a branch of the Ancient Tree of Life? The Ancient Tree of Life? What kind of tree is that?"

Meng Lei reached out to pick up the piece of wood to take a closer look, but he discovered that it was incredibly heavy to his astonishment. Even holding it was rather strenuous for him.

"It's so heavy!"

Meng Lei was astonished. Just how terrifyingly strong must he be when his body was comparable to an intermediate deity's?

Even grabbing a large mountain was a cinch for him, let alone a piece of wood shorter than two meters!

"What kind of botanical lifeform's remains is this, exactly? To think a single branch is this heavy!"

Meng Lei promptly consulted Dodola.

Dodola took a casual glance at the branch, and then it said dryly, "Do you have to ask me about something like that, too? Isn't that just a freaking normal piece of wood?"

"Take a close look at it, Dodola," Meng Lei said, "This piece of wood is shockingly heavy. Even I find it somewhat strenuous to hold it at my current level of strength. It's definitely no ordinary dried branch!"

"Eh?"

Dodola was slightly taken aback. It couldn't help but look at the piece of wood again. As it did, its eyes gradually widened until, at last, it gasped. "Oh my goodness, this... This is a branch from the Ancient Tree of Life. Where did you get this from?"

"From the Light Church's treasury!" Meng Lei quickly asked, "What kind of plant is the Ancient Tree of Life? Does it have anything to do with the Tree of Vitality?"

"Of course it does!"

Dodola nodded lightly. "The vast universe has birthed many interesting and fascinating lifeforms. With animals around, plants would also exist.

"Among them, the most well-known botanical lifeforms have to be the five Primeval Divine Trees. It's said that they were born in the Genesis Continent and are very, very old and ancient."

"The five Primeval Divine Trees!" Meng Lei gasped. "Which five trees are they?"

"The Mother Tree of Earth, the Deep Sea Coral Willow, the Fusang1 Divine Tree, the Ancient Tree of Life, and the Golden Apple Tree."

Dodola explained, "Among them, the Ancient Tree of Life lives in the Forest Divine Realm and is the oldest, tallest and biggest, and most majestic lifeform there. The Fairy Goddess had propagated the famous Tree of Vitality using a branch from the Ancient Tree of Life itself."

"I see."

Meng Lei took a breath. Then, he remarked incredulously, "What must the actual Ancient Tree of Life look like when just its branch alone is already this heavy?"

"It's huge! Unimaginably huge!"

A smiling Dodola said, "When you leave Heaven's Vault Continent someday, you can head to the Forest Divine Realm and take a look. It'll definitely astound you!"

"That day will come for sure!"

Then, Meng Lei left the Tower of Time.

"System, assimilate the Ancient Tree of Life bloodline!"

Whoosh!

A green deluge containing surging life force suddenly gushed out of Meng Lei's brain and instantly spread throughout his body. It flowed through his limbs and integrated itself into his organs.

All the cells in Meng Lei's body gradually turned green, which in turn also caused his flesh, blood, bones, internal organs, and skin to turn green. It looked as if Meng Lei was going to turn into a Namek1!

"How amazing! I actually don't feel any pain at all while assimilating the Ancient Tree of Life bloodline! This is a groundbreaking first!"

Indeed, he had assimilated many different bloodlines ever since the very first time he tried assimilating one—the Fire Dragon bloodline—and every single time, intense pain had accompanied the process, causing him to suffer tremendous pain and agony.

This was the one and only time that he hadn't experienced any pain. Even Meng Lei himself was rather unused to it!

The assimilation process lasted about ten minutes. At the end of the assimilation process, Meng Lei had completely turned into a tree.

His hair had turned into dense and lush leaves, his body into a thick and sturdy tree trunk, his arms into tree branches, his legs into tree roots...

He was 100-meters-tall and boasted lush, luxuriant leaves.

He brimmed with vitality and stood tall and straight.

The most amazing thing was that Meng Lei was giving off a torrential and surging sense of vitality. All the shelves around them displayed botanical magic materials that had long since withered and dried up were "given a new lease of life". New shoots sprouted from them and began to grow madly as though they had been injected with steroids.

One meter, two meters, three meters...

Within the short span of a few breaths, a forest had formed around Meng Lei. All sorts of plants grew lushly around him, engulfing Meng Lei, the cause of it all.

"S-such strong life force!"

Meng Lei could sense the change in his divine body. Not only had his divine body greatly strengthened, but the life force within him had also become more than 100 times stronger.

A life force that had become 100 times stronger!

Now, this was something extremely astonishing. It meant that Meng Lei's cell viability had become even stronger, so his rate of recovery from injuries had become faster, and he could last even longer in battles now...

"System, bring up the stats interface!"

Host: Meng Lei

Race: Human (Primeval Bloodline: Primordial Human 16%, Assimilated Bloodlines: Gods-Slaying Rat, Divine Netherworld PhoenixYouth, Hundred-Armed Giant, Ancient Tree of Life13%)

Wealth: 6.5 million Divinity Crystals

Physical Body Constitution: Metal-Origin Divine Body (1%)

Spirit: Intermediate-Deity (Elementary-Grade)

Power of Divinity: 200 Divinity Crystals

Laws of Nature:

Double-Elemental Fusion: Some increase

Triple-Elemental Fusion: Wind-Light-Dark (0.1%), Metal-Wood-Earth (0.1%), Earth-Wood-Thunder (0.1%), Metal-Dark-Ice (0.1%)

Quadruple-Elemental Fusion: Ice-Metal-Dark-Fire (0.1%)

Meng Lei marveled, "The Ancient Tree of Life bloodline's assimilation rate is actually only at 13%?"

"System, how much does it cost to raise the Ancient Tree of Life bloodline assimilation rate?"

"Dear host, raising the Ancient Tree of Life bloodline by 1% requires 100 million Divinity Crystals," replied the system coldly.

"100 million Divinity Crystals? That's so expensive!"

Meng Lei's jaw dropped. "Is the Ancient Tree of Life bloodline also an Ancient God bloodline?"

"Yes, it is, host."

Meng Lei was rather excited. "To think it's actually another Ancient God bloodline! I've struck gold this time!"

Both the Primordial Human bloodline and the Ancient Tree of Life bloodlines were Ancient God bloodlines. He had two Ancient God bloodlines now!

This meant that he now had an additional form of assurance on his road to becoming an Ancient God. This was simply wonderful!

When Meng Lei got out of his tree form and resumed human form, he noticed at once that thick and lush vegetation had surrounded him. He couldn't help but frown. Then, he sent the plants that had sprouted from the magic materials into the Tower of Time and planted them into the ground with a grand wave.

Magic materials that could qualify to be displayed here were all highly valuable and rare materials. Rather than letting them wither, he might as well plant them in the Tower of Time.

Meng Lei then continued to check out the other treasures.

"Ding! Pickup successful. You have obtained the Six-Winged Angel bloodline. Will you assimilate it?"

Chapter 296: By Our Lord's Decree, The Secret Of Heaven's Vault

"Ding! Pickup successful. You have obtained the Six-Winged Angel bloodline. Will you assimilate it?"

"No, don't assimilate it!"

"Ding! Pickup successful. You have obtained the Light Divine Technique Secret Art 'By Our Lord's Decree'. Will you assimilate it?"

"By Our Lord's Decree?"

Meng Lei paused for a while. Although Pope Hayes had been beaten to the ground easily, his divine technique had left a deep impression.

A pinnacle-level lesser deity that could cast an intermediate deity-level Divine Technique, the boost in power was that great!

"I must check it out!"

In a split second, a barrage of information surged into his mind. After quite a while, Meng Lei finally finished absorbing the knowledge, and a hint of amazement flashed across his eyes.

By Our Lord's Decree—a light-elemental divine technique of the Angel Gods which was several times, even up to dozens of times powerful, that of ordinary light-elemental spells!

If the ordinary light-elemental divine technique was like normal light-elemental magic, then the 'By Our Lord's Decree' was like the light-elemental Dragon-Language Magic—their power was on a different level!

"It's good!" Meng Lei nodded. "With this secret art, my divine techniques will be more dynamic!"

"Ding! Pickup successful. You have obtained the Divine Light Eagle bloodline. Will you assimilate it?"

"The Divine Light Eagle bloodline? Now, what bloodline is it this time?"

The system did not respond, so Meng Lei could only ask Dodola.

Dodola was indeed an all-knowing encyclopedia.

"The Divine Light Eagle is a light/wind double elemental divine beast, which can become comparable to a lesser deity when it becomes an adult."

"Only lesser deity level at the adult stage? That divine beast is trash, don't assimilate." Meng Lei shook his head promptly.

After a round of browsing, Meng Lei could not pick up any more decent stuff, and he left the half-plane where the Light Church treasury was.

"Ol' Amos, shall we return?"

"Yes, sure!"

Ol' Amos nodded. "I have laid out tasks which I believe they will finish successfully. So I'm basically an absentee manager."

"Nice to hear that."

Meng Lei concurred with Ol' Amos's course of actions—subordinates should settle matters like spreading faith. There was no need to personally attend to them.

After this, Meng Lei brought Ol' Amos back to Heaven's Vault Continent and returned to the old Dragon God Empire palace, which was now the Meng Lei Empire palace.

The palace was almost the same as before. It was just that the current master was Meng Lei instead of the Dragons. How people had changed, despite the environment remaining the same.

"I was here for quite a lot back then, where I had seen the Dragon Emperor and brought the kids of the Fire Dragon Magic Academy here for the empire-wide exchange competition."

Ol' Amos sighed emotionally and went on. "I would never have imagined that the Dragons would be chased out of the palace, and humans would take over as master of this empire. You never know what will happen next!

"Change is the only constant, the wheel of fortune turns!"

Meng Lei smiled. "Things are constantly evolving. How can there be empires that last forever?"

"That's true." Ol' Amos nodded.

Meng Lei smiled and said, "Let's go, Ol' Amos. Let's hang around in the palace before going back to Dragon Island."

"Alright."

Puhaman brought a bunch of people to see Meng Lei as soon as he entered the palace. "Greetings Master!"

It was nothing to Meng Lei, but Ol' Amos was frightened as he stared at Puhaman and the rest.

"Such... Such terrifying divine power. Each of them was stronger than me, similar to the Light Church's pope... They're all lesser deities?

"Meng Lei, they're all lesser deities?"

Ol' Amos could not help but ask.

"Yeap, all lesser deities!" Meng Lei replied with a smile.

"Gosh! so many of them!" Ol' Amos gasped, "One, two, three... Twelve! Twelve lesser deities! This... It's unbelievable!"

As Ol' Amos was sizing them up, they did the same. They were wondering, Who is this old fellow beside Master?

"Let me introduce you. This is my teacher, Amos Kroc," Meng Lei said calmly.

"Amos Kroc?"

Everyone else was puzzled except for Thaniel, whose body was shaking. "You're Amolin's elder brother?"

"You're..." Ol' Amos looked at Thaniel.

"I'm Thaniel the Black Dragon half-deity!"

Thaniel had a perplexed face. "Amos, weren't you dead? Why..."

"Haha, I have two lives!" Ol' Amos laughed and said.

"I see..." Thaniel nodded his head slightly and understood immediately.

"Ol' Amos is the person that I respect the most. I want all of you to treat him like me, understand?" Meng Lei said as he swept a glance across everybody.

"Yes, Master!"

"There's no need for such formalities, Meng Lei." Ol' Amos was frightened.

"They're all lesser deities, while I'm not even a true god. How could I possibly ask them to treat me like you!?"

"There's nothing improper here."

Meng Lei waved his hands with a smile and asked, "How was the matter with the migration? There should be a rough plan, right?"

"Master!"

Puhaman stepped forward. "We have discussed, and we agreed to develop the 48 existential planes in the shortest time possible. The best solution is still migrating Beast People races that have decent reproduction rates, like Pig Men, Rabbit Men, Doghead Kobolds, and others, before we migrate the rest.

"Plus, the Beast People Empire had suffered heavily. And as fear and uncertainty gripped the empire, now is the best opportunity to establish our faith among them!"

Everyone nodded their heads in agreement.

"That's a good plan. I'll leave it for you all to settle, don't disappoint me."

Meng Lei raised his head slightly and continued. "Once this is settled, it'll be the time to divide and confer existential planes and create a god system."

"Yes, Master!"

Everyone was excited at the thought of such a historical moment—they would obtain existential planes and construct a god system!

By then, they would all become gods under Meng Lei's system, and they would enjoy an endless amount of faith. How great would that be?

"Did anything happen these few days while I was away?" Meng Lei asked.

"Master, everything is fine in Heaven's Vault Continent," Puhaman said while he bowed.

The rest nodded slightly too—with so many lesser deities here, it would be difficult for anything troublesome to occur.

However, Thaniel hesitated a while before he said suddenly, "Master, the Dragon God had looked for me!"

"Dragon God?" Meng Lei raised his eyebrows.

"What did he want?"

"He wanted me to destroy the teleportation magic circle in the Far Northern Icelands so he could take over the 48 existential planes that the Dark Demonic Dragon left behind. Still, this isn't the point!"

Thaniel did not dare to hide anything as he continued.

"The point is, the Dragon God told me that he had already reported Heaven's Vault Continent's secret to the Dragon God race!

"He said that it was a secret so lucrative to countless higher deities that the Dragon Gods will definitely send their army down to Heaven's Vault Continent!

"By then, the entire Heaven's Vault Continent will be plunged into great misery and suffering. While Master..."

"Heaven's Vault Continent's secret?"

"What secret could this continent possibly have?"

"That's right, Heaven's Vault Continent is just a low-end material plane. Why would it have any secrets? This bastard Dragon God must be sprouting ridiculous, shocking nonsense!"

"One that interests countless higher deities..."

Everyone shook their head as they scoffed at the idea, but Meng Lei started to frown and slipped into deep thoughts.

Heaven's Vault Continent's secret? A secret that interests countless higher deities?"

What secret would that be?

"Dodola, is the secret that the Dragon God spoke of the Tower of Time?" Meng Lei was baffled.

"Other than the Tower of Time, I can't think of any other possibilities. And of course, we can't strike out that Gods-Demons Continent, but that secret can never be greater than the Tower of Time!"

Chapter 297: Grooming And Demon Metamorphosis, The Gods-Demons Continent

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It was very hard for low-end existential planes like Heaven's Vault Continent, where resources were sparse, and laws of nature were indistinct, to possess any kind of astounding secrets most of the time. At best, one might find things like half-deity ruins and so on, but that was about it.

However, even these were of absolutely no value to the high and mighty deities, let alone having a secret that could astound a higher deity. The only thing that Meng Lei could think of was the Tower of Time.

Not only was the God of Time a Great Perfection deity that had comprehended and perfectly assimilated five types of basic laws, but he was even an Ancient God that had comprehended time-based laws of nature.

Despite not in possession of Chief God divine cores, Ancient Gods could nevertheless contend against Chief Gods. What kind of powerful existence must they be, then? And how great and noble must they be?

As for the Tower of Time, as a place that stored the God of Time's legacy and treasures, its allure to the deities in the Void was self-evident.

By obtaining the Tower of Time, they would obtain the Ancient God, the God of Time's legacy, his treasures, and even the cultivation method for time-based laws of nature.

How alluring was that?

It was no exaggeration to say that even Chief Gods might be tempted, let alone higher deities!

Meng Lei said, "If that's really the case, then it's indeed rather troublesome. Never mind, I'm the master of the existential plane. Any deity can forget about behaving so presumptuously here!"

As the master of the existential plane, he was an absolute and invincible existence while in the existential plane. What was there for him to fear?

"You're oversimplifying things, Meng Lei."

Dodola slowly shook its head and said, "I've certainly mentioned in the past that deities of the Void are unable to descend upon Heaven's Vault Continent in most typical cases, but nothing is absolute in this world."

"Could it be that there are other methods aside from secret arts such as the Angel Gods' immolation and summoning spell?"

Meng Lei broke into a slight frown. He wasn't concerned about the angels' immolation spell. Aside from the fact that the immolation spell required extremely demanding conditions in order to be cast, there was also one other most important factor—how powerful the angel summoned through immolation was strongly linked to how powerful the sacrifice themselves were.

The more powerful the sacrifice was, the more powerful the summoned angel would be.

Even someone as powerful as Pope Hayes, who was a pinnacle-level lesser deity, had only managed to summon Lorenzo, a six-winged angel on par with an intermediate deity, whereas those weaker than the pope would only summon angels even weaker than that.

Yet, it was impossible to find anyone stronger than the pope in Heaven's Vault Continent.

Besides, considering how demanding the conditions for immolation were, whether or not anyone was willing to do it was a problem in itself. Therefore, Meng Lei wasn't worried about secret arts like immolation at all.

"You're oversimplifying things, Meng Lei."

Dodola shook its head and said, "The deities in the Void have a multitude of ways at their fingertips if they wish to descend upon a low-end existential plane. Most commonly, they use two particular methods."

"What methods are they?" asked Meng Lei gravely.

"The first is to select, provide guidance, and groom someone."

Dodola explained, "The deities in the Void would select and provide guidance to a native being from Heaven's Vault Continent. Within 10,000 years, they'll groom them into a true god, a lesser deity, an intermediate deity, or even a higher deity.

"You should know that it isn't hard to groom someone into a higher deity. It's nothing more than just a few divine cores and a fusion laws of nature fragment."

Meng Lei's expression changed at once. Was grooming someone into a higher deity difficult? Theoretically, it really wasn't.

A Saint Domain could already assimilate divine cores.

It required only one lesser deity divine core to groom a Saint Domain into a lesser deity, five to groom them into an intermediate deity, and five lesser deity divine cores and one fusion laws of nature fragment to groom them into a higher deity.

Of course, the person would also need to split their divine spirit during this process. Thus, they would need treasures that could enhance their divine spirit. Things like Crystallized Divine Spirit Extracts, Soul Ice Marrow, and so on would suffice.

Generally speaking, it was indeed very costly to groom someone into a higher deity, but there was definitely no lack of wealthy tycoons among the deities in the Void. As long as they were willing to do it, they certainly could groom someone into a higher deity within a short period of time.

"Is that really possible?!"

Meng Lei gasped. For the first time, the deities' wisdom had astonished him.

"I told you, as long as the deities in the Void are willing to, they have a plethora of ways that they can descend upon a low-end existential plane."

Dodola sighed. "The second commonly-used method is demon metamorphosis."

"Demon metamorphosis?"

Meng Lei was taken aback.

"You should also know that deities in the Void cannot descend upon low-end existential planes while demons can."

Dodola said gravely, "This is a loophole that they can exploit. The deities in the Void would split their divine spirit and take over a low-grade or same-grade demon's body, thereby grooming a demonic incarnation of themselves so that they can descend upon low-end existential planes anytime they want."

"They can do that?"

Meng Lei gasped. "Aren't deities and demons sworn enemies? Are there deities that are willing to take over a demon's body and own a demonic incarnation?"

"What's the big deal about that?"

Dodola scoffed, "I'll be honest with you. Most typical deities with even a bit of background will groom one—several, even—demonic incarnation of themselves. There are even those who take it a step further and rear numerous demon servants so that they can use them during times of need."

A mocking Dodola said, "Deities? Demons? How can there be absolute justice in this world? Or absolute evilness? As long as it profits oneself, those sanctimonious deities can bring themselves to do anything!"

"I understand now." Meng Lei nodded slowly. "I've underestimated the deities in the Void."

"If the Dragon God has really reported the Tower of Time's existence to the Colossal Dragon Gods, we will face extreme peril."

Dodola said gravely, "The Colossal Dragon Gods are a powerful godly clan that is in no way inferior to the Titan Gods and the Angel Gods."

"I get it now."

Meng Lei nodded slowly.

"What are your plans?" asked Dodola in a low voice.

"Become stronger, I suppose. Only when I've become stronger will I be able to handle all the difficulties thrown at me."

A smiling Meng Lei said, "If all else fails, then I can only bring forward my deification. Nothing can go wrong once I have a higher deity divine incarnation."

"I can rest assured now that you've said that."

Dodola heaved a sigh of relief at Meng Lei's response. Meng Lei had already assimilated quite a few types of laws of nature by now. As long as he wanted to, he could ascend and become a higher deity anytime he wanted.

As both a higher deity as well as the master of the existential plane—as long as he didn't run into a Great Perfection deity—Meng Lei would be an absolute and invincible presence in Heaven's Vault Continent!

"So, there's nothing to really be afraid of!"

A relaxed Meng Lei said, "By the way, didn't you mention the Gods-Demons Continent just now? Is there a Gods-Demons Continent on the Heaven's Vault Continent existential plane?"

"As the master of the existential plane, you're really so..." An exasperated Dodola rolled its eyes.

"What's the big deal about me being the master of the existential plane? How long has it only been since I became one? How am I supposed to know that there's also a Gods-Demons Continent on this existential plane when the Endless Oceans are so vast?"

Meng Lei snorted and said, "You're right, though. I indeed haven't done a proper inspection of Heaven's Vault Continent existential plane ever since I became its master. I'll take a look right away."

The moment the thought occurred to him, Meng Lei released his divine cognition at once. Through the Heart of The Existential Planes, he began to inspect the Heaven's Vault Continent existential plane.

An intermediate deity's divine cognition could only reach a maximum range of 1,000,000 miles in radius, but with the help of the Heart of The Existential Planes, Meng Lei was able to inspect the whole existential plane.

Of course, this also required a certain amount of time.

A few minutes later, Meng Lei finally located the third continent—the Gods-Demons Continent—after going one round around the Endless Oceans.

"What the heck! That continent's huge! It's actually even bigger than the Light Continent!

"How strange! Why are Magical Beasts the only creatures there? Where are the humans? The Beast People? The Titans?

"Since it's covered in forests, surely there must be at least Fairies there?"

A round of inspection later, Meng Lei found himself disappointed.

Chapter 298: Four Divine Beasts, Putting A Leash On Them

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

There were no humans, no Beast People, no Titans, and no Fairies!

Instead, Magical Beasts were the only creatures there! And there was an infinite number of them!

The astonishing thing was that these Magical Beasts were much stronger than those in Heaven's Vault Continent and Light Continent. Even Saint Domain and half-deity Magical Beasts lived lives worse than even a dog's there.

On top of that, there were almost 100 divine beasts!

One must admit that the Magical Beasts on Gods-Demons Continent had astounded Meng Lei. There was an astonishing number of Saint Domain Magical Beasts, innumerable half-deity Magical Beasts, and even almost 100 divine beasts there.

Furthermore—and most importantly—there was even a divine beast that rivaled an intermediate deity there. Now, that was astonishing!

Why would an intermediate deity-level divine beast continue to stay on this existential plane? Could it be that it hadn't yet been 10,000 years since it became an intermediate deity? What kind of joke was that!?

"Do you see the Gods-Demons Continent's fearsomeness for yourself now?"

Dodola said with a slight smile, "Aside from the Tower of Time, the Gods-Demons Continent is definitely this existential plane's biggest secret."

Meng Lei asked in disbelief, "Dodola, what kind of secret does the Gods-Demons Continent exactly hold? Why are the Magical Beasts there so strong? Their strength is practically beyond any reason or logic!

"Why? Because of the two words 'gods' and 'demons'!"

Dodola explained, "More than 20,000 years ago, innumerable gods and demons suddenly descended upon this existential plane and started a war that swept through the whole continent."

"Gods and demons descended upon the existential plane? Why?"

Meng Lei looked stupefied.

"I don't know."

Dodola shook its head. "There were originally also humans and other races on Gods-Demons Continent, but they all perished in that war between the gods and demons. In the end, only a handful of lucky Magical Beasts managed to survive.

"After the war, Magical Beasts became the biggest beneficiaries of the war. They devoured the gods and demons' remains and seized their assets and divine cores, resulting in their power receiving a terrifying boost within a short period of time."

"I see."

Realization dawned upon Meng Lei. Living conditions didn't differ much from continent to continent when everyone was all on the same existential plane. Therefore, it was impossible that such a great difference in strength would happen. As it turned out, it was actually all because of the war between the gods and demons.

"More than 20,000 years have gone by, but there should still be a great number of gods and demons remains on Gods-Demons Continent. You can go over and take a look if you're interested."

Dodola smiled and said, "Who knows, maybe you'll find some good stuff."

Meng Lei nodded slightly. "I'd still have headed over and taken a tour around the Gods-Demons Continent even if there weren't any gods and demons remains there. This existential plane is my turf, after all."

"Yeah!"

Dodola didn't offer any further response after that, and its voice faded away very quickly.

Meng Lei then turned to his subordinates and said, "All of you are to speed up the migration process. At the same time, you must also protect the teleportation magic circle in the Far Northern Icelands. Nothing must go wrong!"

"Yes, Master!"

His subordinates bowed affirmatively.

"Alright, get down to work!"

Meng Lei dismissed them with a wave. Then, he began to take a tour around the imperial palace with Ol' Amos in tow. Ol' Amos had stayed in the imperial palace during the last two days. It was only on the third day that he finally left and departed for Dragon Island.

Apart from Ol' Amos' younger sister Amolin, everyone else on Dragon Island was a human genius.

By the Meng Lei Empire's stipulations, Saint Domain experts were allowed to enter Dragon Island, the Divine Titan Temple, and other half-planes where laws of nature were distinct and magic elements were rich to cultivate.

Amolin was currently the only Dragon on Dragon Island. Thus, the so-called Dragon Island actually only existed in name now.

After Ol' Amos' departure, Meng Lei went to Gods-Demons Continent by himself, intending to take a good look around.

Located to Heaven's Vault Continent's southeast, Gods-Demons Continent was much vaster in territory than Heaven's Vault Continent. On top of that, the whole continent was fully covered in forests and undoubtedly boasted the three continents' best living environment on the existential plane.

Meng Lei floated in the air above Gods-Demons Continent. His divine cognition spread into the surroundings like tidal waves, shrouding the whole continent within as he began to inspect it properly.

Meng Lei made a discovery after a mere minute of inspection.

"There's something out of the norm over there!"

Meng Lei came to the area above a basin. The basin was as though a gigantic bowl embedded in an endless sea of forests.

Lush and luxuriant vegetation filled the basin, the woods inside even denser and lusher than those outside. Additionally, several lesser deity-level divine beasts had also occupied the basin's central region.

"The magic elements in the basin are far richer than those in the outside world. In particular, the magic elements in the central region are even as dense as solids. It must be because of that thing in the underground!"

Meng Lei's eyes gleamed as he made a grabbing motion in the air. A huge intangible claw flew out of nowhere and grabbed at the basin's central region, passing right through the ground upon contact.

It went 60,000 meters underground before finally coming to a stop. Then, it grabbed forcefully at it!

Boom!

Amid a great explosion, the ground within five kilometers of the area began to shake violently as though an earthquake had broken out. Then, it started to rise into the air slowly.

One meter, two meters, three meters...

Earth and soil were tossed everywhere as trees and branches snapped and broke.

"What's going on?"

The huge commotion alarmed the Magical Beasts in the basin. The four lesser deity-level divine beasts, in particular, even took to the sky and began to inspect the area, upon which they noticed the basin's central region that had risen into the air, as well as the culprit of all these—Meng Lei.

The four divine beasts flew into a thundering fury at once.

The basin was their den, but Meng Lei was actually making trouble there! Wasn't this tantamount to bearding the lion in its den?

He was going too far!

There were some things that one could tolerate and some things that one couldn't!

"You lowly worm, how dare you act so presumptuously here! Die!"

The four divine beasts were respectively the Five-Colored Sacred Bull, the Moon-Howling Heavenly Wolf, the Rainbow Wood Toad, and the Great Earth Bear.

Despite not having transformed into their true forms, they stood at 1,000-feet-tall. Terrifying divine power spread into the surroundings, crushing down on all areas around them and sweeping through heaven and earth.

All the Magical Beasts in the basin prostrated on the ground in fear, frightened to the extreme as they shook like leaves.

They simply couldn't understand—why had the four great kings suddenly gone into a rage for no reason?

"Die!"

Four attacks—a five-colored deluge, countless wind blades, wooden vines that looked like poisonous snakes, and thundering sound waves—imbued with surging power of divinity swept brazenly toward Meng Lei.

They moved with fierce momentum and blotted out the sky.

As though great mountains crushing down on someone, they were capable of destroying everything.

The corners of Meng Lei's lips curled upward in response. He reached out a finger, tapped the air, and commanded, "Freeze!"

Buzz...

A mysterious wave of energy spread outward, instantly locking down the air within 100 miles of where they were. The fearsome attacks also froze in mid-air and became still and motionless.

"Disperse!"

The four attacks dispersed with a loud boom upon command, turning into countless glowing particles that dissipated in the air.

"What?"

"How can this be?!"

"Damn it!"

"He's neutralized our attacks so easily?"

The four divine beasts were flabbergasted. One must know that they were lesser deity-level divine beasts. Although those attacks had been launched casually and without much thought, they weren't attacks that one could easily just neutralize.

"Who exactly is he?"

"I don't know who he is!"

"Never seen him before!"

"Not sure!"

Just as alarm and doubt filled the four divine beasts, four green vines grew rapidly from Meng Lei and turned into poisonous snakes that shot toward the divine beasts.

"It's coming!"

Not daring to be careless, the four divine beasts were about to counterattack right away when something that shocked and horrified them happened. Their bodies... They couldn't move!

"Damn it!"

"What exactly is going on?"

"Damn! Move! Hurry, mov—"

Blood drained from the four divine beasts' faces. They struggled fiercely and tried to move, but it was all in vain. They simply couldn't move no matter what they did.

"Misbehaving? I'll put a leash on you, then!"

Four vines shot toward them at lightning-quick speed, winding around the divine beasts' necks along with the momentum and restricting them.

Chapter 299: Life Drawing, Higher-Tier Divine Weapon

The four divine beasts were exasperated.

You destroyed our home, and you're chaining us now. You have gone too far!

However, Meng Lei did not pay any more attention to them. He treated them like air and focused on capturing the monster beneath the earth.

The earth rumbled as mountain rocks rolled down.

The earth shook vigorously as a humongous being was dragged out of the ground. It was completely soaked in mud, making it difficult to decipher its appearance.

A forceful divine power spread into the surroundings the moment it appeared. The four restless divine beasts looked toward the gigantic creature.

"What's that?"

"What fearsome divine power!"

"Out from the underground?"

Meng Lei swung his arm casually, and the mud on the gigantic creature flew off. Moments later, a majestic creature was revealed.

It had a body of a gigantic ape, hippopotamus-like mouth, steel needle-like golden fur all over, and thick muscles bulging like boulders—every part of its body was filled with explosive power!

"Golden Behemoth!"

It only took a glance for the four divine beasts to recognize this massive creature. What they were more surprised about was that there was a Golden Behemoth underground which they were completely unaware of!

"An intermediate-deity Golden Behemoth!"

Meng Lei nodded secretly. Even after 20,000 years, this Golden Behemoth's corpse was still vivid without any signs of decomposition.

Such was a body of an intermediate deity, almost incorruptible. However, a black spear was stuck at the forehead of this Golden Behemoth. This must have killed it.

"This spear is very familiar..."

Meng Lei took out his Gods-Slaying Spear and compared them. He realized that they looked exactly the same—both were surrounded by lightning and nothing different.

"Another Gods-Slaying Spear!"

Meng Lei's expression became awful. "The one that killed this Golden Behemoth was the same as the one that killed Ol' Amos previously!"

"Damn it! Just who was it?"

Meng Lei immediately tried dripping his blood to claim ownership and did not face any obstruction. It was clear that the owner of this spear was already dead.

"My dear Ol' Amos, you can't even find this guy to take your revenge on anymore. That is simply tragic!"

Meng Lei kept both Gods-Slaying Spears and brought the corpse into the Tower of Time. This corpse was an invaluable treasure.

"As for the four of you..."

Meng Lei looked at the four divine beasts and could not help but think that they seemed pretty magnificent.

The Five-Colored Sacred Bull, Moon-Howling Heavenly Wolf, Rainbow Wood Toad, Great Earth Bear looked majestic and extraordinary.

"The heavens are virtuous and cherish all life, so I shall not kill you all," Meng Lei said casually. "But, your punishment is to hand over your divine spirit origin energy to avoid death!"

"What are you talking about?"

"You want us to submit to you?"

"Forget about it!"

"Dream on!"

"You're bullying too much!"

The four divine beasts were enraged upon hearing Meng Lei's words as they glared at Meng Lei with their eyes spewing with fury. They felt violated!

"Unwilling? Then I guess there's no other way!" Meng Lei shook his head. "I have given all of you a chance. Since you're not willing to take it, then don't blame me for anything!"

Splurt!

Splurt!

Splurt!

Splurt!

Countless tiny needles sticking out of the vines penetrated the four divine beasts, poking through their necks and absorbing their life essence violently.

Life Drawing!

The ability to absorb other's vitality for his own use and enrich his life essence. This was not an Innate Special Ability but an ability of the Ancient Tree of Life!

Gurgle!

"Damn it!"

"Get off me!"

"Let go!"

As they felt their life being drained away endlessly, the four divine beasts started to struggle madly. However, under the might of the Power of Existential Plane, any struggles would be futile.

They could only watch their bodies shrink like a burst balloon. Their energy was drained quickly, and there was nothing they could do about it.

"At this rate, we'll be sucked into dry corpses and die in his hands!"

"Quickly! Summon our great God. Only he can save us!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Summon our great god..."

The four divine beasts wanted to let out roars, but they could not even open their mouths, let alone calling for their great god.

"It's all over!"

"We're dead meat!"

"No! I don't want to die! I have just become a divine beast. I don't want to die yet!

As death loomed, the Moon-Howling Heavenly Wolf was the first to yield as it repeatedly begged, "S-spare me! I submit! I submit!"

Meng Lei snorted. He stopped draining the Moon-Howling Heavenly Wolf's life essence reluctantly, and he calmly said, "Yielding just like that? What a wussy!"

Hooowl!

The Moon-Howling Heavenly Wolf cried out and released its divine spirit origin energy obediently, letting Meng Lei refine it and control its life and death.

"Good that you know your place!"

Meng Lei let the wolf off.

"Thank... Thank you!"

The Moon-Howling Heavenly Wolf looked at Meng Lei with a complicated gaze. It would never have thought that it was a mighty king of the Heavenly Wolves moments ago! At the very next moment, he actually submitted to some random fellow it did not know at all!

It was unimaginable!

"What about the three of you?"

Meng Lei glanced at the Five-Colored Sacred Bull, Rainbow Wood Toad, and Great Earth Bear.

"We submit too!"

As much as they were unwilling to submit to Meng Lei, their lives were in jeopardy. Thus, the three divine beasts finally yielded and gave up their divine spirit origin energy.

"Let's go then!"

Meng Lei turned around and flew away. The four divine beasts did not dare to delay and followed docilely.

Half an hour later, Meng Lei came to the sky above a lake. The waters were clear and sparkling with ripples along the surface, like a beautiful emerald embedded among the sea of the lush forest. The surroundings were filled with thick bushes and verdant trees; it was picturesque.

"This is a nice place!"

Meng Lei was a little unwilling to destroy such a scenic place, but there's something in the lake that he must obtain. A few moments later, a trident emerged from the waters.

This trident was a hundred meters long. It was made entirely out of an unknown material, and it emitted surging water-elemental energy waves with incredible divine power.

Meng Lei flicked his fingers for a drop of blood. Surprisingly, he could not refine this trident. Meng Lei was stunned. Did someone own the trident?

His divine cognition entered the trident promptly and shattered the previous owner's divine spirit mark, and he engraved his own.

"Impressive! It is a high-tier divine weapon. I've reeled in the big one this time!" After refining the trident and knowing the level of this divine weapon, Meng Lei was truly surprised.

High-tier divine weapons were extremely rare!

Meng Lei was lucky enough to possess divine weapons like the Grim Reaper Scythe and the Gods-Slaying Spear, but his Grim Reaper Scythe was the only high-tier divine weapon he had. It proved the rarity of such weapons!

Now that he obtained this trident, it was an absolute windfall!

Roar!

At that moment, the lake surged and churned violently as a gigantic jade green winged-hydra emerged from the water. It opened its huge mouth and went straight at Meng Lei! An atrocious stench invaded his nostrils, and Meng Lei almost threw up his dinner from last night!

"What the hell!?"

Chapter 300: Rich Rewards, The Magical Beast God

The lake they were at was known as Lake Skyblue. Occupying an area of several million square kilometers, it was the largest lake in the vicinity and was occupied by the Skyblue Black-Winged Snake.

As a lesser deity-level divine beast, the Skyblue Black-Winged Snake was the reigning overlord of the lake. None of the Magical Beasts there could contend against it.

The lake was the Skyblue Black-Winged Snake's private paradise where it could do whatever it wanted.

It looked for food whenever it was hungry, intertwined itself around the trident at the bottom of the lake, and slept when it was full. It lived a leisurely and contented, comfortable, and carefree life.

Yet on this day, just as the Skyblue Black-Winged Snake was sleeping lazily as per usual, the trident underneath it had suddenly vanished into thin air!

The Skyblue Black-Winged Snake woke up with a start. Then, it spotted Meng Lei, who was suspended above the lake, and flew into a rage.

How dare he! Not only had he trespassed its den, but he had even stolen its divine weapon!

That was too much of him!

The Skyblue Black-Winged Snake promptly charged out of Lake Skyblue, its cavernous jaws snapping at Meng Lei and the pungent stench coming from it, almost killing him.

"Get lost!"

Meng Lei dealt a palm strike from mid-air.

Boom!

The Skyblue Black-Winged Snake was thrown back. With a flap of its wings, it then lunged at Meng Lei again. It opened its mouth and sprayed a blast of highly toxic green breath at him.

"Absolute Zero!"

Meng Lei pointed at it, instantly freezing the blast of green breath, which subsequently broke into ice chips.

A vine appeared in Meng Lei's hand and turned into a steel whip that Meng Lei used to lash mercilessly at the snake.

Smack!

Unable to dodge in time, the steel whip struck squarely against the Skyblue Black-Winged Snake. At once, its skin and flesh split open, and a deep, bloody wound formed.

Smack, smack, smack!

Whip afterimages filled the sky and engulfed the Skyblue Black-Winged Snake like a violent storm. It was completely rendered a punching bag. The lashings from the whip echoed loudly whenever it landed and covered it in bloody wounds.

"Damn it!"

Intense pain caused the Skyblue Black-Winged Snake to wake up fully. Fear and alarm filled it at once. Aware that it was no match for its opponent, it hastily flapped its wings and flew toward Lake Skyblue. Should the whip flog it any further, it would surely be turned into minced meat.

"Thinking of fleeing?"

Meng Lei snorted. "Absolute Zero!"

Crack!

A thick, solid layer of ice instantly formed on Lake Skyblue's surface. As if it had crashed against a bronze or iron wall, the crash against the ice made the Skyblue Black-Winged Snake dazed and dizzy and caused it to see stars.

"Die, damned beast!"

Meng Lei tossed the trident out casually. The trident turned into a stream of light that instantly pierced through the Skyblue Black-Winged Snake's head, pinning it securely onto the lake's frozen surface.

"I-is it dead?"

"Black Wing died... just like that?"

Gasp!

The four divine beasts that had come along had witnessed the whole process of Meng Lei slaying the Skyblue Black-Winged Snake. They couldn't help but gasp at the sight.

The Skyblue Black-Winged Snake was also a lesser deity like them and was in no way any weaker than them!

Yet, how had the battle turned out?

Meng Lei had killed it in no time at all!

Had they not submitted to him just now, would they have also ended up like that?

An icy chill couldn't help but well up in their hearts the moment they thought of that.

"It's not your fault for having bad breath, but it's not right if you come here and disgust others!"

Meng Lei casually retracted the trident and flung away the blood on it. Then, after gouging out the Skyblue Black-Winged Snake's divine core, he tossed its carcass to the four divine beasts.

"This carcass is yours!"

"T-thank you, Master!"

Meng Lei continued to tour around leisurely after that. As the master of the existential plane, nothing about the Gods-Demons Continent could escape him once he made up his mind to search through it.

Ranging from as tiny as a worm to as large as a mountain, everything in the sky, on the ground, and in the water was revealed to him with nowhere to hide.

Every god or demon remains, every broken fragment from divine weapons, every god or demon's dead body...

Meng Lei dug them out one after another and accumulated an extremely astonishing amount of rewards.

After touring half the Gods-Demons Continent, Meng Lei had harvested a total of 38 lesser deity divine cores, 17 whole and intact divine weapons, and 24 whole and intact god or demon's dead bodies. As for broken or damaged ones, there were even more of them.

Of course, all the places where god or demon remains and divine weapons could be found were typically also occupied by divine beasts. Meng Lei killed or subdued them as he deemed necessary. By the time he went full circle, he had gained another 24 subordinates.

Including the four divine beasts from earlier, he now had a very strong and powerful line-up of 28 divine beast subordinates in total.

At last, Meng Lei came up to a steep cliff that rose as high as hundreds of thousands of feet into the sky.

A 10,000-meters-wide waterfall cascaded from the top of the cliff like the Milky Way and formed a gigantic pool at the bottom. in

Mist rose from the pool as water splashed about.

The cliff, the precipice, the waterfall, the pool—they came together to form a grand and spectacular sight.

While the sight was indeed grand and spectacular, it nevertheless didn't count as much in Gods-Demons Continent. There were tons of other grander and more magnificent-looking places there.

Yet...

All 28 of his divine beast subordinates started to shake in their boots upon reaching the place. They looked awfully fearful and horror-stricken as though there was a ferocious primeval beast in the pool.

Meng Lei knew what they were afraid of—the one and only intermediate deity-level divine beast in Gods-Demons Continent that had occupied the bottom of the pool.

This place was its den.

From his subordinates, Meng Lei had learned that the intermediate deity-level divine beast was referred to as the Magical Beast God and that all the Magical Beasts on the continent worshiped it.

"Don't worry, the Magical Beast God whom you worship will become just like you in no time," Meng Lei gave them a slight smile, "Who's going to summon it?"

"This..."

All 28 divine beasts shuddered and lowered their heads in tandem. Summon the great Magical Beast God? What kind of joke was that? They would prefer not to die so soon!

"A bunch of cowards!"

Meng Lei shook his head. Then, he turned to the deep pool and said, "Your Holiness, since you've already discovered us, why don't you show yourself?"

Splash!

The surface of the deep pool began to bubble, and then a huge head emerged from within.

It was an enormous snakehead covered in golden dragon scales as though made out of gold. Its violet snake eyes emanated a boundless sense of dignity and stateliness.

Boom!

In the instant that the golden snakehead appeared, a fearsome pressure that could pierce through the heavens and earth spread outward, instantly weighing down upon everyone present.

Meng Lei was naturally unaffected, but his 28 divine beast subordinates were unable to bear it, however. Fear and horror filled their countenances, and they almost instinctively prostrated on the ground in submission.

"I see that you're a human. Which continent, Heaven's Vault Continent or Light Continent, have you come from?"

The Magical Beast God watched Meng Lei with its snake eyes and inquired dispassionately of him. As for the 28 prostrating divine beasts, it didn't spare them even a glance.

"You actually know of those two continents?"

Meng Lei raised an eyebrow. "Since you know of them, why haven't you occupied them? Surely it's not difficult for you, considering your strength?"

"Occupying other continents holds no meaning to me."

The Magical Beast God shook its head slightly. "It's sufficient as long as I have enough power of faith."

"Enough power of faith? Is the power of faith generated by Gods-Demons Continent alone really enough?" Meng Lei scanned Gods-Demons Continent and added, "You're an intermediate deity, after all."

The Magical Beast God didn't answer him. Instead, it gave him an eviction order. It said, "Human deity, you may leave now."

"Leave? Why should I leave?"

Meng Lei's lips corners quirked upward.

"Human, I've already shown you great civility by not attacking right away despite your trespass on my territory."

The Magical Beast God glowered at him, an icy glint flashing across its snake eyes as it ordered, "Leave at once!"

"Hah, and if I don't?"

Chapter 301: Wind Blade Grand Burial, Life Guardian

A waterfall measuring tens of thousands of meters wide cascaded from the sky like the Milky Way gushing down from the heavens. Mist wafted about the surroundings, forming a spectacular sight that looked as though it came straight out of a celestial realm.

However, no one was admiring the spectacular-looking waterfall at the moment because of the highly tense situation in front of them.

"Human, Gods-Demons Continent isn't a place where you can act so presumptuously! I'm warning you—leave at once!"

An icy glint gleamed in the Magical Beast God's eyes. It gave off a forceful and intense aura as though a ferocious primeval beast that might go berserk and kill Meng Lei anytime.

This guy is much more powerful than Lorenzo, the six-winged Virtue Angel. Be it its divine body or its power of divinity, both are top-notch even among intermediate deities!

Meng Lei could totally sense how strong the Magical Beast God was. Its divine body was terrifyingly mighty, and its life force was strong and vigorous. Power of divinity surged intensely with great force while its divine spirit was as enduring as a rock.

It was hard to imagine that a low-end material plane could birth an existence like that. What was even more unbelievable was that it hadn't even been 10,000 years since its deification. Who would believe something like that?

Meng Lei wondered, "How many divine incarnations does that guy have? And how strong are they?"

Intermediate deities were defined as those that had fully comprehended at least two types of basic laws of nature and owned two divine incarnations, though they were considered the weakest among intermediate deities. The Dragon God was a fine example of this.

Whereas those that had fully comprehended five types of basic laws of nature, owned five divine incarnations and were only a step away from becoming a higher deity—such as the Beast God—were the strongest among intermediate deities.

The Magical Beast God's divine body, life force, power of divinity, and divine spirit had all reached their pinnacle. Meng Lei's bold conjecture was that it most likely owned four divine incarnations.

Four divine incarnations! Yet it hadn't yet been 10,000 years since an existence like that had deified? Would anyone believe that?

"What a shame that no matter how strong you are, you're ultimately still just an intermediate deity."

Meng Lei looked at the Magical Beast God and said, "It's impossible that I'll leave, Magical Beast God! I don't mind telling you this—this existential plane is only allowed to worship one person, and that's me!

"But if you're willing to become a subsidiary to me, I don't mind allowing you to continue ruling over this continent."

"You're courting death, human!"

The Magical Beast God's vertical snake pupils narrowed as murderous looks surfaced in them as though it wanted to devour someone.

"You'll only know whether or not I'm courting death after we battle!" Meng Lei shook his head and let out a soft chuckle. "Go on and attack. Show me your—the Magical Beast God's—strength!"

"Divine Technique: Wind Blade Grave!"

The Magical Beast God didn't hold back at all. Innumerable violet wind blades shot out of its mouth and reached right in front of Meng Lei in an instant.

These violet wind blades were unlike ordinary wind blades. Not only were they as quick as lightning, but they were also extremely compact and condensed, making them shockingly sharp.

Had it been any other ordinary intermediate deity, they would undoubtedly become riddled with wounds and heavily injured even if they survived. Even the act of fleeing would be tough for them!

"Not bad, but what a shame!"

Meng Lei shook his head lightly and slowly uttered four words, "Life Guardian!"

Splash!

Countless green leaves appeared in front of Meng Lei and formed a thin wall of leaves that blocked him.

An icy smile surfaced in the Magical Beast God's eyes at the sight. "Do you think that you can use mere leaves to withstand my Wind Blade Grave? What a futile attempt!"

Yet the violet wind blades collided against the wall of leaves as though sharp arrows embedding themselves onto high tenacity fibers. The wall of leaves merely quivered a little and easily blocked all the wind blades. No matter how furiously the violet wind blades slashed at it, it simply couldn't make even a hint of a gash on it.

"How can that be?"

The Magical Beast God's expression changed drastically. Disbelief filled its eyes.

"Nothing is impossible!"

Meng Lei shook his head.

The Ancient Tree of Life is a great Ancient God! It's impossible for you to hurt me even if my Ancient Tree of Life bloodline assimilation rate is only 13%!

"Divine Technique: Wind Blade Grand Burial!"

The Magical Beast God howled and opened its mouth again to blast another violet wind blade from within. Unlike the previous one, however, the new wind blade spanned about 500-feet-wide and looked like a rainbow that could blot out the sun itself.

The wind blade reached the wall of leaves in under 1/10th of a second.

It made a hole in the wall of leaves with a loud rip and passed through it, reaching right in front of Meng Lei in an instant.

"The quantity has decreased, but its might has increased!"

Meng Lei neither dodged nor ducked the attack. Instead, he reached out his right arm. Innumerable vines extended from his right arm's surface to form a thick and solid shield.

Bam!

The wind blade collided against the shield, producing intense sparks and a deep and dull metal collision sound as though two pieces of metal had knocked into each other.

However, the same scene unfolded once more:

No matter how the wind blades slashed at the shield, it still couldn't cut it apart. The shield formed from innumerable vines was incredibly tough and sturdy. The wind blades simply couldn't do anything about it!

"Why is it so sturdy?"

The Magical Beast God couldn't believe its eyes. It could totally sense Meng Lei's divine body's level of sturdiness. He was also an intermediate deity like it. In fact, he was even a notch inferior!

So, why was his divine body so sturdy?

Wind Blade Grave hadn't worked, and neither was Wind Blade Grand Burial working now, too?

What kind of living being species was Meng Lei, exactly?

"The great Magical Beast God actually can't even break past Master's defenses?"

"Just what kind of background exactly does Master come from?"

The 28 divine beasts watching the battle were incredibly astounded. They simply couldn't imagine why a powerful existence like the Magical Beast God couldn't even break past Meng Lei's defenses.

Meng Lei!

Why was their new Master this physically sturdy?

"I don't believe this!"

The Magical Beast God roared incessantly. Suddenly, it opened its mouth and sprayed out a blast of violet flames. They burned furiously at Meng Lei—it was the divine technique, Violet Flames Scorch The Sky!

Boom!

The violet flames expanded sharply the moment they appeared and came into contact with the wind. In an instant, they had become as tall as 1,000 feet, completely engulfing Meng Lei in no time.

Boom, boom, boom!

The violet flames blazed away furiously. They emitted a terrifyingly high heat, causing even the water in the waterfall and pool to simmer and boil. Large amounts of steam formed and shrouded the surroundings.

The 28 divine beasts withdrew a great distance away. They had no choice but to retreat when facing terrifyingly mighty fire-elemental divine techniques even if they didn't fear high heat or low temperatures.

"Fire naturally restrains wood. I simply don't believe that you're not scared of fire-elemental divine techniques!" The Magical Beast God's vertical snake pupils bore coldly into Meng Lei, who was currently being engulfed by the flames.

However, the violet flames gradually extinguished as they blazed away, revealing Meng Lei's form, who had been in the fire for a few dozen seconds. Everyone was stunned the moment they spotted Meng Lei—he was currently wrapped inside a "shell" formed from green vines just like the shield from earlier!

By right, wood feared fire the most. Once burned, they would definitely be reduced to ashes. Even in the best possible scenario, they would still be turned into charcoal.

Yet this wasn't the case for Meng Lei's shell at all. Even after burning away at it for half a day, the violet flames actually couldn't leave even a scorch mark on its surface. They didn't leave even a hint of charred blackness!

"How did this happen?"

The Magical Beast God was close to breaking down. How sturdy must the other party be if he feared neither wind blades nor fire?

"I don't believe this!"

The Magical Beast God's eyes were bloodshot as it roared, "Divine Technique: Rolling Heavenly Thunder!"

Crack!

A moment later, the thunder-elemental divine technique also left the field in dejection while Meng Lei remained well and intact. It was subsequently also followed by metal-elemental divine techniques, yet they were all in vain.

In the end, Meng Lei was still fine and dandy, but the Magical Beast God had already completely broken down mentally!

Chapter 302: Golden Vines, Meng Lei Pierced

After a round of bombardment, Meng Lei was completely unscathed, and the Magical Beast God nearly broke down first. "What... What kind of monster are you?"

Meng Lei did not answer. He looked at the Magical Beast God and said. "Wind, Fire, Thunder, Metal. It seems I was right, you do have four divine incarnations!"

The Magical Beast God replied coldly, "So?"

"Ordinary cultivation will never be able to get you to such levels. If I'm not wrong, you must've obtained four lesser deity divine cores and a treasure that can strengthen your divine spirit. Am I right?" Meng Lei said casually.

Assimilating divine cores to become a deity was easy, but to split one's divine spirit and cultivate it was difficult.

To split a divine spirit, it must be powerful enough. The prerequisite to split a divine spirit was to have a strong divine spirit.

Hence, it was easy to become a lesser deity. However, to become an intermediate deity was much harder, and to have four or even five divine incarnations as an intermediate deity was even harder.

Splitting a divine spirit was too damaging for it!

Therefore, it was evident that the Magical Beast God must have obtained a treasure that could strengthen divine spirits so that it could be able to split out four divine incarnations as an intermediate deity within 10,000 years.

The Magical Beast God stared coldly at Meng Lei. It neither admitted nor denied the fact, indirectly admitting it.

"Your luck defied natural order. Even I'm jealous!" Meng Lei shook his head lightly. "I'm giving you one last chance. Submit to me or die!"

"I'm the Magical Beast God, how can I submit to a mere human!?" The Magical Beast God's voice was deep. "So what if you're powerful? Don't even think about making me submit!"

"Why is it always like this?"

Meng Lei shook his head lightly again as dozens of vines shot toward the Magical Beast God.

"Hmph! I won't play with you anymore!"

The Magical Beast God sneered at Meng Lei with contempt as its head sunk into the pool and left immediately.

Meng Lei smiled lightly. "Running away already? That's too naive!

"Power of Existential Plane... suppression!"

Buzz...

A surging flood of Power of Existential Plane burst out and pressed upon the Magical Beast God instantly, forcing it out of the water.

Splash!

The true features of the Magical Beast God were revealed immediately. It had a head of a snake with the body of a dragon.

Whoosh!

The vines followed closely and wrapped up the Magical Beast God like a mummy. It roared angrily and struggled madly, but it could not move an inch even with the strength of an intermediate deity under the suppression of both the Power of Existential Plane and the vines.

"It's useless." Meng Lei shook his head. "Even without the Power of Existential Plane, the vines alone are enough to impede you."

"Human... What do you want exactly?"

The Magical Beast God glared at Meng Lei.

"Do you know who I am?" Meng Lei asked instead of replying.

"Who are you?" the Magical Beast God asked in a low voice.

"I'm the master of this existential plane," Meng Lei said casually. "Doesn't matter if it's Heaven's Vault Continent, Light Continent, or your Gods-Demons Continent, and the Endless Oceans—they're all my territory! Do you think you can build an independent kingdom in my place?"

"Master of the existential plane!?"

The Magical Beast God sneered. "You're lying! The master of this existential plane is the Fairy Goddess. She refined the Heart of The Existential Plane and became the master 20,000 years ago!"

"Believe it or not, you're dying anyway!'

Meng Lei did not bother explaining as he activated Life Drawing to absorb the Magical Beast God's life essence.

"You have a really strong divine body. After I absorb all of your life essences, my divine body will definitely break through to pinnacle-level intermediate deity!"

Gurgle!

Under Meng Lei's intense absorption, the Magical Beast God's life essence was like a breached dam as it flooded toward Meng Lei. A warm sensation enveloped Meng Lei, which was more pleasant than soaking in a hot spring.

At the same time, every single cell of his body was like a hungry wolf as they devoured the life essence that surged into his body.

It was the purest form of life essence, greatly beneficial to the growth of the body. A normal body would have a limited appetite, which would stop absorbing to a certain extent.

Meng Lei was different.

He had awakened the Primordial Human bloodline, assimilated the Gods-Slaying Rat bloodline, the Divine Netherworld Phoenix bloodline, the Hundred-Armed Giant bloodline, and the Ancient Tree of Life bloodline.

These bloodlines were not good-for-nothings—they needed to grow with precious herbs and medicines, as well as massive amounts of life essence.

Thus, Meng Lei's appetite was terrifying. And as he absorbed crazily, these bloodlines started to grow at an insane speed.

Their growth brought about the upgrade of Meng Lei's divine body.

Upgrade!

Upgrade!

Insane upgrading!

The feeling of upgrading was wonderful, and Meng Lei almost moaned, immersed in this superb feeling.

The opposite of how Meng Lei felt was the Magical Beast God. It felt that its vitality was sucked away rapidly, and its strength was weakening quickly.

This feeling terrified it and made it alarmed. It knew that at this rate, it would die... it would surely die!

"Magical Beast God, don't you have three other divine incarnations? Why don't you summon them?" Meng Lei smiled faintly. "If they came to your aid, they might save your life."

Three divine incarnations?

I do have them, but how do I summon them when they're not on this existential plane!?

Until this moment, the Magical Beast God knew deep inside that it was the critical moment of life and death—if it did not risk its life and fight, it would most definitely die!

The Magical Beast God cried, "Golden vines!"

Boom!

A golden vine shot out of the restless pool suddenly, like a golden cobra bursting out of the water straight toward Meng Lei.

Whoosh!

The speed was lightning-quick!

No! Speed could not be used to describe it!

Meng Lei did not even manage to use his vine shield, as he was penetrated in the belly by the golden vine.

"Wah!"

Meng Lei spat out a mouthful of blood as he looked at the golden vine in disbelief.

What is this divine weapon? How sharp is this thing?

"Meng Lei!" Dodola's voice rang in his ears. "Are you alright?"

"Won't die from this!"

Meng Lei then asked, "Dodola, you know anything about this golden vine?"

"Nope! But it looked like the tree branches of the Golden Apple Tree, yet the aura isn't right?"

Dodola shook its head. "You need to be careful. There's an evil aura throughout this ancient snake, unlike ordinary intermediate deities!"

"Got it!"

Meng Lei nodded as his body went through Dark-Elemental Transformation. He then re-manifested his body not far away. "I didn't think you would have such a divine weapon."

"Human! You're not dead!"

Upon seeing Meng Lei reappear lively there, the Magical Beast God almost coughed up blood in anger.

That strike was already its trump card; still, it could not kill Meng Lei!

Now that survivability was too much!

"You're still far from killing me!"

Meng Lei waved his arm as a trident appeared. "But, to prevent any accident, I have decided to execute you with immediate effect!"

"Don't you dare, human!"

The Magical Beast God panicked.

"Hmph!"

Meng Lei teleported and appeared right in front of the Magical Beast God. The sharp trident jabbed in an instant and shot a hole through its head.

"Human... I won't let you off!"

Chapter 303: Sucked Dry, Golden Little Tree

The Magical Beast God died eventually, or rather, this divine incarnation died.

At the moment Meng Lei decided to kill, there was no more chance that it could survive.

The snakehead was penetrated and died on the spot.

"I gotta strike while it's hot!"

Meng Lei did not let the Magical Beast God off as he continued to absorb its life essence madly. He finally stopped delightfully when it was sucked till it became a mummy.

"My divine body is getting stronger again. There should be little match for it among intermediate deities!"

Meng Lei clenched his fist slightly, and endless strength surged from his body. Meng Lei had a feeling that he could punch a hole through the Gods-Demons Continent!

"To be able to absorb others' life essence for my own, the Ancient Tree of Life was the right bloodline to assimilate!"

Meng Lei took a deep breath and kept the Magical Beast God's mummified body with a wave of a hand. Then he looked at the golden vine that dropped on the ground.

Without sustained power of divinity, the golden vine became a 20 centimeter-long twig with the thickness of a thumb. It had a unique striation, which made Meng Lei feel familiar at first sight.

"This texture... Why does this look so similar to the golden leaf in my sea of consciousness?" Meng Lei mumbled. "Perhaps they came from the same plant?"

Meng Lei wanted to summon that golden leaf and compare with it properly, yet tragically, the golden leaf just would not answer his calls.

But what could he do?

Meng Lei could only refine the golden twig and compare it within his sea of consciousness.

A drop of blood fell, but it could not seep into the golden twig, meaning it failed to recognize the owner.

That also meant that the golden twig was owned previously.

Meng Lei released his divine cognition, and indeed there was a divine spirit mark left by the Magical Beast God.

Without a word, the divine spirit mark was destroyed immediately.

Meng Lei successfully claimed ownership of the golden twig and let it enter his sea of consciousness.

Then, an amazing sight happened!

The stationary golden leaf that was hovering in the sea of consciousness started to move over when the golden twig arrived.

The golden twig flew over too, and the two just combined strangely together!

To be exact, the golden leaf grew onto the golden twig. From afar, it looked like a tree branch with a leaf growing on it.

"What the... They grew into each other!"

Meng Lei was dumbfounded.

What kind of situation was this?

He could tell that the two were very much alike, and they were likely from the same source. Yet, he could never have thought that they would actually combine. It was beyond his expectations.

Meng Lei immediately tried to activate them... and the combined leaf and twig started to move!

"I can activate them!"

Meng Lei was overjoyed and summoned the golden branch at once. He started to check it out in his hands.

The golden twig and the golden leaf had the same striation, so it could be seen that they originated from the same tree.

Now the question was, what was that tree?

"Dodola, you said it was the tree branch of the Golden Apple Tree, right?" Meng Lei asked.

"It looked like that, but the aura was entirely different!" Dodola was puzzled too as it continued. "To be honest, I am quite baffled by this! But it is definitely some good stuff that you should keep!"

Meng Lei nodded. This piece of golden tree branch could penetrate his divine body with such ease. Just how sharp and powerful was it?

It was a so-called high-tier divine weapon! Of course, he should keep it safe!

After keeping the golden branch, Meng Lei looked at the Magical Beast God's carcass and dug out a divine core from it—the Magical Beast God's divine core.

"Human, I'll never let you off! I'll never let you off!"

Furious screams came from the divine core—it hated Meng Lei to the core!

If hate could kill, it would have cut Meng Lei up into a million pieces and tortured him to death.

"I'll welcome your arrival anytime."

Meng Lei scoffed, and his divine cognition ravaged the divine core.

He wanted to read the memory of the Magical Beast God and find out what secrets it had.

"Don't even think about it, human!"

The Magical Beast God clearly understood Meng Lei's intentions, and its divine spirit started to resist madly.

"You're not even my match when you're alive, and you still have the cheek to resist?"

Meng Lei sneered and increased the intensity of his divine spirit offense.

"Arghhhh..."

After some intense ravaging, the Magical Beast God's divine spirit was smashed into bits all around, and Meng Lei could finally read its memory.

After approximately half an hour...

Meng Lei let out a long breath, and a hint of a slight smile appeared at the corners of his lips.

"This... I really deserved to earn another windfall! How could the Magical Beast God have such a lucky encounter!"

Who was the Magical Beast God?

The Magical Beast God was only a normal Saint Domain python divine beast.

However, it had been extremely lucky to pick up a spatial ring from an underground cave that it had stumbled upon by accident.

The spatial ring had been an ordinary one, but the things stored inside were not ordinary at all. Other than tons of treasure, there were also two lesser deity divine cores.

The Magical Beast God had refined both divine cores and used the treasure that could strengthen the divine spirit to become an intermediate deity!

In the Gods-Demons Continent, an intermediate deity was an invincible presence. The Magical Beast God had relied on its incredible power to subdue all the Magical Beasts of the continent and become the Magical Beast God while looting around without restraint.

Thanks to these treasures and divine cores, the Magical Beast God had split its divine spirit two times in a row while cultivating another two divine incarnations!

From then on, it had four divine incarnations to become an outstanding existence among intermediate deities.

Plus, if not because of the limited treasures to strengthen the divine spirit, the Magical Beast God could have had a fifth divine incarnation and become a pinnacle-level intermediate deity.

"How impressive! Most of the treasures were looted by this fellow!"

Having read the Magical Beast God's memory, Meng Lei knew how rich it was:

There were more than 100 lesser deity divine cores alone and countless other treasures that could at least strengthen the divine spirit!

However, Meng Lei mostly overlooked these many treasures as only one thing caught his serious attention—a golden little tree!

Where had the golden branch that attacked Meng Lei at the final moment come from?

It came from this golden little tree!

What was the golden little tree?

The Magical Beast God did not know.

It only knew that the golden little tree grew on a half-plane and was discovered by chance!

"Half-plane!"

Meng Lei hurriedly followed the Magical Beast God's memory to teleport to that half-plane's entrance and went straight into it.

The half-plane was not particularly huge, with just a few kilometers big. It was bare without any plants, just a little tree that stood strong alone over there.

The little tree was not tall as it was only a meter tall, with around four branches growing a few leaves. One of the branches was broken with the leaves gone too.

How should this tree be described?

It was as if it had been through the cold autumn where most leaves had fallen.

"The golden tree branch was cut down by the Magical Beast God who had done everything it could!"

Meng Lei stared at the little tree with apprehension and anticipation in his eyes. "All these years, the Magical Beast God had been trying to refine this little tree, but it failed!"

"I wonder if I can do it?"

Meng Lei dropped a drip of blood onto the golden little tree, and something exciting occurred—the blood managed to seep through the little tree!

In an instant, Meng Lei had the slightest of connections with this golden little tree.

"I've refined the golden little tree!?"

Meng Lei was stupefied.

Chapter 304: Fearsome Devouring Ability, An Extraordinary Background

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Meng Lei couldn't understand why he was able to successfully refine the golden little tree right away at first try when the Magical Beast God had done everything it could and tried for thousands of years, yet it simply couldn't.

Why?

Meng Lei couldn't put his finger on it, either!

But was this important?

Of course it wasn't!

What was important was that he had successfully refined it. Thus, Meng Lei formed a connection with the golden little tree.

In the instant he successfully refined it, both the golden branch and the golden leaf that had taken up a spot each in Meng Lei's sea of consciousness flew out of his sea of consciousness in tandem and merged with the golden little tree.

A misty golden glow rippled outward from the golden little tree as it merged perfectly with the golden branch and the golden leaf. They became one whole entity and made no distinction between one another.

"What kind of background did this little tree exactly come from?"

Meng Lei suppressed the excitement in him and suffused the golden little tree's internal structure with his divine cognition. Then, he began to inspect it.

Since the golden little tree had already recognized it as its master, perhaps he would be able to find a clue or two. However, he didn't discover anything miraculous about it despite inspecting for quite a while.

The golden little tree was an ordinary golden little tree through and through. Apart from its fully-golden exterior that appeared as if it were made out of gold, nothing else about it differed from any other ordinary tree.

It had an average internal composition, an average level of pliability, and average sharpness.

Everything about it was average with nothing out of the ordinary.

Even its life force was also average. Its life force was really very so-so—it couldn't even compare to that of a vine on Meng Lei.

"Is this little tree really that ordinary?"

Meng Lei sank into deep thought.

The Magical Beast God had easily pierced through my divine body just by moving one of its branches. How sharp must it have been? Is it really that ordinary?

It was just a shame that no matter how he inspected it, he simply couldn't discern any of its secrets even after observing it for a good half a day!

"Never mind, I won't bother myself with it anymore. It's a treasure in any case, so I can't go wrong keeping it."

Through his connection with the little tree, Meng Lei then tried to move the little tree. The little tree slowly plucked itself out of the ground and flew into the air.

The golden little tree's roots were also golden. As though a work of art forged from gold, the golden little tree was golden in color from head to toe and full of charm.

"Collect!"

Meng Lei collected the little tree and sent it into the Tower of Time with a thought.

"Where should I plant this, Dodola?"

"You can just plant it anywhere you want!"

"Okay!"

Meng Lei went to the Tower of Time's 95th level. The wood magic elements on this level were very rich and concentrated, so it was the most beneficial to plant growth. He had also planted a Tree of Vitality sapling here in the past.

It had been a very long while since he'd last seen it. The Tree of Vitality sapling had already grown a lot since then. The little sapling that had only been about one-meter-tall previously had grown into a large tree over 20-meters-tall. Its fluffy crown spread into the surroundings and shrouded the area 100 meters from where they were as it gave off an astonishing aura of vitality.

Meng Lei was very satisfied with the Tree of Vitality's growth. Given its current growth rate, the Tree of Vitality would be able to birth and nurture little Fairies in another few dozen years.

"I think you'll like it here!"

Meng Lei went to a field a few hundred kilometers away from the Tree of Vitality and planted the golden little tree there.

Then, he brought out large quantities of wood-elemental elemental crystals and set up a magical energy-gathering magic circle around it to collect the wood magic elements in the surroundings.

However, just as Meng Lei finished setting up the magic circle, something that he would never have ever expected happened—all the plants around the golden little tree started to wilt and wither...

One meter, 10 meters, 100 meters...

,000 meters, 10,000 meters, 100,000 meters...

In the span of just a few short breaths, all the grass 100 kilometers of where the golden little tree was had withered. The whole field turned yellow and withered and became a dead zone. The grass was as though dry grass during winter...

They became withered, yellow, dry, dead, and highly flammable.

What left Meng Lei even more flabbergasted was that more and more plants were withering, and the yellow, withered field was continuing to spread.

100 kilometers, 200 kilometers...

At last, when the entire field became dry and withered, the forests around the field began to suffer.

All the vegetation there, all the huge, towering trees, and all the ancient trees that had stood for 1,000 years—all of them began to wither!

Just like that, the whole forest started to wilt and wither at a dramatic rate...

Even the Tree of Vitality that Meng Lei had planted wasn't spared, either, and became a dead tree!

"Just what kind of monster is the golden little tree, exactly? It can actually devour the life force of all the plants around it?"

Dodola appeared beside Meng Lei, its mouth wide as it stared at the rapidly-withering 95th level. It was so astonished that it couldn't even speak.

"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask, then?"

Meng Lei could only give Dodola a wry smile in response.

"At this rate, all the plants and vegetation on the 95th level are going to wither while the half-plane will also be reduced to a dead zone!"

Dodola took a deep breath and muttered to itself, "How domineering! It's really too domineering! It has to be one of the most domineering plants I've ever seen!"

The final outcome was true to Dodola's expectations. Ten minutes later, all the plants in the whole half-plane had wilted and withered.

Be it fields, forests, undergrowth...

Be it ordinary plants, the Tree of Vitality, or botanical Magical Beasts...

The golden little tree had absorbed all of their life force!

The lush and luxuriant half-plane on the 95th level that had been full of life and vitality had completely turned into a dead zone. Only one lone plant was still alive, and that was the golden little tree.

Yet despite having devoured so many plants' life force, it actually didn't change in any way.

It didn't grow any taller, it didn't sprout any new buds, and neither did its life force become any richer.

Nothing about it was different from before!

"What kind of monster is this?"

As they say, "What goes in must come out". Even a random blade of grass would release oxygen after absorbing carbon dioxide!

Yet the golden little tree didn't show any activity at all. Who would dare to believe something like that?

"Could it be that it has too voracious an appetite so that bit of life force couldn't fill its stomach at all?"

Struck by a brainwave, Meng Lei brought out a deity's dead body and threw it in front of the golden little tree.

The life force that the deity's dead body contained was undoubtedly strong. Even the combined life force of all the plants on the whole half-plane might not necessarily be as rich and strong as the dead body's!

The golden little tree didn't let Meng Lei down. It was hard to tell how exactly it did it, but the life force within the deity's dead body began to disappear at an alarming rate.

The originally plump and full dead body began to visibly dry up. Two minutes later, the dead body had turned into a dried corpse.

The golden little tree finally showed a hint of a change after absorbing the deity's dead body's life force. A tiny little bud slowly sprouted on one of its branches. Sparkling and translucent, it looked extremely tender.

At the sight of the bud, Meng Lei and Dodola exchanged a look with each other. Neither of them knew what to say anymore.

After absorbing the life force of all the plants in the half-plane, as well as a deity's dead body's, it had actually only sprouted a single bud!

Was there any plant out there whose growth rate was slower than the golden little tree's?

"Although I don't still know its origins, I daresay that its origins must be an extremely astonishing one. In fact, it might be even more amazing than the five Primeval Divine Trees!"

Dodola's eyes sparkled as it said, "Its terrifying appetite alone has already greatly surpassed the Ancient Tree of Life's!"

"Yeah!"

Meng Lei nodded slightly. The stronger a being was, the bigger its appetite usually was. Just like mortals and deities—mortals would be stuffed to death after eating a whole cow, but the same amount of food was nothing to a deity.

A deity's digestive ability was simply too horrifying. They could digest while they eat, so once they finished eating a whole cow, they would also have finished digesting it at the same time. As long as the deity was willing to, they could eat even 10,000 cows.

"Cultivate it well. That golden little tree will definitely bring you a surprise!"

Chapter 305: Angel's Heart, A Titan King

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Meng Lei couldn't figure out the golden little tree's origins, but his opinion was highly similar to Dodola's—the ordinary-looking little tree definitely had a terrifying identity and a background beyond one's imagination!

He had to take care of it properly. If done well, he might just gain a supreme treasure in the future!

At once, Meng Lei tossed all the gods and demons' dead bodies that he had previously taken to the little golden tree. The little fellow took them all and cleanly devoured all of them.

It was just a shame that the little golden tree's newly-sprouted bud merely grew a little and didn't change much.

"This is really tough!"

Meng Lei sighed emotionally. Then, he left the Tower of Time. Given the golden little tree's voracious appetite, he would need to look for even more gods and demons' dead bodies to feed it with.

Meng Lei felt a pressing need to know what kind of powerful life form the little golden tree would grow into after it really began to mature!

Boom!!

The 10,000-meters-wide waterfall continued to crash into the pool. The scenery in the surroundings hadn't changed much, but the pool's master had already left the world forever.

Meng Lei reached the area above the pool, spread his divine cognition into the surroundings, and scanned through all the treasures at the bottom of the pool that the Magical Beast God had accumulated over the years.

There were 126 lesser deity-level gods and demons' dead bodies; 154 mid-tier and low-tier divine weapons; 138 lesser deity divine cores; and innumerable other treasures like Divinity Crystals and so on.

"As expected of the Magical Beast God, the biggest beneficiary of the war between the gods and demons back then! It's so rich!"

Meng Lei was incredibly emotional as he gazed at all the treasures. Innumerable gods and demons had fallen during the war. Their dead bodies, divine cores, riches... The greater half of it had all gone to the Magical Beast God. Who was the biggest beneficiary, if not it?

It was just that all the treasures were going to Meng Lei now instead!

"System, collect all the Laws of Nature Origin Crystals and Divinity Crystals!"

Whoosh!

His Wealth instantly spiked by 2,000,000 Divinity Crystals and reached an astonishing total of 8,500,000 Divinity Crystals, giving Meng Lei a huge windfall.

Then, Meng Lei also threw the 126 gods and demons' dead bodies to the little golden tree for it to devour.

Next up were the divine cores and the divine weapons.

"As of now, I have a total of 171 divine weapons and 176 divine cores. It's just a shame that they are all low-tier and mid-tier divine weapons and lesser deity divine cores, so they are of no use to me."

After taking inventory of his earnings, Meng Lei continued to ransack Gods-Demons Continent for treasures. Although the Magical Beast God had already ransacked it before, it wasn't the master of the existential plane, so there were a lot of things that it wouldn't have noticed at all. Thus, there were still a lot of things for Meng Lei to go through.

And the truth was indeed so!

After a few days of ransacking, Meng Lei found another few dozens of gods and demons dead bodies, a few dozen divine weapons, a few dozen divine cores, and other incomplete gods and demons remains.

As usual, he gave the gods and demons dead bodies to the little golden tree.

After doing all these, Meng Lei's itinerary in Gods-Demons Continent had also basically come to an end. However, he didn't leave in a hurry—there was still one last thing he needed to do.

"According to the Magical Beast God's memories, its three other divine incarnations aren't on this existential plane. Rather, they've already left for other existential planes."

That's right, other existential planes!

Gods-Demons Continent wasn't the Magical Beast God's only power of faith domain. Not only did it have other power of faith domains, but it even had a few—as many as three, in fact!

Using its memories as a guide, Meng Lei came to the teleportation magic circle leading to the first existential plane. However, Meng Lei was disappointed to find that the magic circle had failed to activate.

He knew that the Magical Beast God must have already destroyed the other end of the teleportation magic circle, causing it to become unable to function.

"That guy sure acts fast!"

Meng Lei subsequently also tested the other teleportation magic circles, but they had all been sabotaged. A resigned Meng Lei could only give up on searching for the Magical Beast God.

"It's time to leave!"

Meng Lei summoned the 28 divine beast subordinates and said, "Listen up, the Magical Beast God is already dead. Its faith in Gods-Demons Continent should also have dissolved."

The 28 divine beasts listened with bated breath.

"I have a mission for all of you—spread my faith and let the whole Gods-Demons Continent bask in the light of my faith. Understand?"

"Yes, Master!"

"We'll definitely do our best to spread Master's faith and let Master become Gods-Demons Continent's..."

The 28 divine beast subordinates gave him their promises one after another.

Meng Lei gave them a slight nod, and then, he left.

"The matters in Gods-Demons Continent have been settled. It's time to deal with the Demon God now! Dodola, do you know where the Dragon God's divine nation is?"

"No, I don't," Dodola shook its head, "Divine nations are a deity's den, so they are extremely hidden and obscure, and those belonging to weak intermediate deities like the Dragon God are especially so. How am I supposed to know where it is?"

"Fine," Meng Lei was rather disappointed, "What a shame. If I could find the Dragon God's divine nation, I'll definitely make him pay for his foolishness!"

"Don't bother with the pointless talk anymore. If you're that free, you might as well think of how you can make yourself stronger instead," Dodola rolled its eyes and said, "The Colossal Dragon Gods' descension is near. Your current level of strength is far from being sufficient to handle them!"

"Don't worry. I'm aware of that."

Meng Lei then returned to the empire's imperial palace and started a new round of seclusion.

"System, bring up the stats interface!"

Host: Meng Lei

Race: Human (Primeval Bloodline: Primordial Human 16%, Assimilated Bloodlines: Gods-Slaying Rat, Divine Netherworld PhoenixYouth, Hundred-Armed Giant, Ancient Tree of Life13%)

Wealth: 8.5 million Divinity Crystals

Physical Body Constitution: Metal-Origin Divine Body (1%)

Spirit: Intermediate-Deity (Elementary-Grade)

Power of Divinity: 200 Divinity Crystals

Laws of Nature: Some increase

"I have 8,500,000 Divinity Crystals now. It's too expensive to buy credit for anything. I can't afford it at all, so there are only three functions that I can use now—Super Pickup, Super Enhancement, and Super Plunder. I'll go one by one!"

Meng Lei took a deep breath and commanded, "System, use Super Pickup!"

The system's icy voice rang out right away.

"Ding! Super Pickup is a chargeable function that costs 100 Divinity Crystals per use. Will you use it?"

"Yes!"

"Ding! Dear host, please designate your target existential plane."

"The Celestial Realm!"

Meng Lei uttered two words, "The Celestial Realm!"

Whoosh!

His Wealth decreased by 100 Divinity Crystals right away. Ten seconds later, the system's icy voice rang out again.

"Ding! Pickup successful. You have obtained a Sky Silver Herb."

"A Sky Silver Herb?"

Meng Lei was taken aback. He asked, "What the heck is that?"

The system did not respond, so Meng Lei could only ask Dodola.

"The Sky Silver Herb is a common botanical life form in the Celestial Realm. Not only is it incredibly pliable, but it's also incomparably sharp. An adult Sky Silver Herb is comparable to a half-deity."

"Comparable to a half-deity?"

Meng Lei was sorely disappointed. He tossed it into the Tower of Time's 95th level without much thought and continued to do pickups.

"Ding! Dear host, please designate your target existential plane."

"The Celestial Realm!"

"Ding! Pickup successful. You have obtained an Angel's Heart. Will you assimilate it?"

"Given its weak aura, it's evidently a four-winged angel's Angel's Heart. Why would I assimilate something like that?!" Meng Lei was rather displeased. He ordered, "Continue with the pickups!"

"Ding! Dear host, please designate your target existential plane."

"The Celestial Realm!"

"Ding! Pickup successful. You have obtained a Light Titan blood essence droplet. Will you assimilate it?"

"A Light Titan blood essence droplet?"

Meng Lei was rather disappointed. Nevertheless, he habitually took out the Light Titan blood essence droplet and began to inspect it.

Boom!

An incredibly fearsome pressure emanated from the Light Titan blood essence droplet right away. Caught off-guard, Meng Lei was almost flattened to the ground.

Even so, Meng Lei still felt a sense of tightness in his chest, and he found it incredibly difficult to breathe. His heart couldn't help but pound, and he felt a strong sense of suffocation.

"W-what fearsome pressure and might!

"A Titan King!

"This is definitely a Titan King's blood essence!"

Chapter 306: A Spike In Divine Body Sturdiness, 4,000,000 Feet

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In a secluded divine nation faraway from Heaven's Vault Continent, the Dragon God prostrated respectfully on the ground.

A middle-aged man dressed in black robes sat on the throne in front of him.

"My lowly clansman that wanders the lower realms," the black-robed middle-aged man's voice boomed loudly with boundless dignity and might as he said, "Let me ask you something—is the information that you previously reported true?"

"My lord, should there be even a bit of untruth in what I've said, then let me fall into the depths of hell, never to be reincarnated!"

The Dragon God quickly swore an oath. "That huge tower has a total of 100 floors and is able to turn back time. It's exactly the same as the rumored Tower of Time!"

"Wonderful!"

The black-robed middle-aged man nodded slightly and added, "If what you said is true, I am willing to take you as my disciple and bestow upon you 20 material planes as a reward."

"Thank you, my lord... No, thank you, sir1! Thank you, sir!"

Overjoyed, the Dragon God kowtowed incessantly.

"This is the construction method for building a Great Void Shift teleportation magic circle."

The black-robed middle-aged man tapped his finger in mid-air, and then, a golden light beam shot into the area in between the Dragon God's brows. He said, "Build a Great Void Shift teleportation magic circle with this method within the shortest amount of time and behold my descension!"

"Yes, sir!"

The Dragon God responded affirmatively repeatedly.

"Alright!"

Then, the black-robed middle-aged man's form dissipated in an instant. The Dragon God slowly got to his feet. As he gazed at the throne that had once again become empty, he couldn't help but guffaw into the sky.

"Lowly cheap trash, let me see how you're going to die this time!"

Elation filled the Dragon God's eyes as he said, "If I can't get the Tower of Time, then you can forget about having it, too! I'll watch with my eyes as you die in front of me..."

Meng Lei was completely unaware of the ongoings in the Dragon God's divine nation. At the moment, all his attention was on the Titan blood essence droplet in front of him.

He murmured to himself, "This is just a drop of blood essence, yet it's already emanating such fearsome might. This is undoubtedly a Titan King's blood essence! In fact, it... might be from an existence that's even stronger!"

What was a Titan King?

As a powerful godly clan that dominated the vast Void, the Titan Gods boasted innumerable powerhouses within the clan. They were specifically split into three different grades—Earth Titans, Sky Titans, and Titan Kings.

Earth Titans were comparable to lesser deities;

Sky Titans were comparable to intermediate deities;

And Titan Kings were comparable to higher deities.

As for Titans weaker than lesser deity-level, since they hadn't even awakened their Titan God bloodline, they naturally didn't count as members of the Titan Gods.

A Titan King's blood essence was, in other words, the blood essence of a Titan whose strength was comparable to a higher deity's.

While it might seem like higher deities were only a grade higher than intermediate deities, in truth, the difference in strength between the two could be said to be like night and day.

Needless to say, a higher deity's blood essence was naturally incredibly precious. However, most typical higher deities' blood essence definitely didn't contain such a terrifying aura.

Meng Lei's bold conjecture was that the person whom the blood essence droplet had come from was definitely no ordinary Titan King!

Meng Lei couldn't help but lick his lips as he remarked, "This might even be an Invincible Titan King's blood essence!"

An Invincible Titan King was an unbeatable existence among the Titan Kings and was comparable to a Great Perfection-level higher deity.

There were millions of Titan Kings among the Titan Gods, but there were undoubtedly only a few Invincible Titan Kings.

"Since I have the Hundred-Armed Giant bloodline, my divine body will definitely be greatly enhanced if I assimilate this drop of Titan blood essence!"

The moment the thought occurred to him, Meng Lei promptly ordered, "System, assimilate the Titan blood essence!"

Buzz...

The Titan blood essence spread apart right away and turned into a thin veil of blood that enveloped Meng Lei's entire self. Then, it seeped into Meng Lei.

Boom!

At once, the Hundred-Armed Giant bloodline in Meng Lei started to furiously and restlessly stir. Every single cell clamored for and fought to devour the Titan blood essence...

The triggering of the Hundred-Armed Giant bloodline caused Meng Lei to transform into a Hundred-Armed Giant. As though earthworms on his skin, the blood vessels, and veins throughout his body suddenly bulged against his skin.

Meng Lei could sense an endless wave of pure, unadulterated energy gushing into the depths of his cells. It enhanced every single cell, as well as his Hundred-Armed Giant bloodline.

Every cell swiftly split and proliferated!

Every bit of Hundred-Armed Giant bloodline in him rapidly strengthened!

At the same time, Meng Lei's divine body also began to expand further and further like an inflating balloon.

,000 feet, 10,000 feet, 50,000 feet...

100,000 feet, 500,000 feet, 1,000,000 feet...

Boom!

An incomparably vast and violent might spread out from the palace that Meng Lei was in and into the surroundings, forming a super-tornado in the imperial palace...

The palace was wrecked, and the palace maidservants and eunuchs inside were sent flying like leaves in the wind!

Even Puhaman and the others, who were currently carrying out their administrative duties, were also flattened to the ground. They watched the giant in the center of the imperial palace with fear and horror on their faces.

"W-what fearsome pressure and might!"

"Has Master broken through again?"

"M-most likely!"

"Oh my god! Master is already an intermediate deity. Is he already breaking through to higher deity-level?"

Puhaman and the others were all filled with shock and horror.

Meng Lei had exhibited a fearsome level of strength that was comparable to an intermediate deity's when he previously slew the Dark Demonic Dragon. And now... He was about to break through again?

Just how fast was his rate of improvement?

,000,000 feet, 3,000,000 feet, 4,000,000 feet...

When Meng Lei's size reached a colossal 4,000,000-feet-tall, his rate of growth finally began to slow down. The current Meng Lei was as if an indomitable giant that towered between the heavens and earth. The sight astounded innumerable people.

How tall were 4,000,000 feet?

Ten feet was equivalent to three meters, so 4,000,000 feet would be 1,200,000 meters, which was equivalent to 1,200 kilometers!

How tall was Mount Everest?

Only 8.8-kilometers-tall!

Even the length of Meng Lei's sole was taller than Mount Everest!

One could imagine exactly just how tall Meng Lei currently was!

Thus, not only could the people of Dragon God Empire see Meng Lei towering between heaven and earth, but even the people of Titan Empire, Beast People Empire, and Fairy Empire could see him.

"Great God Meng Lei!"

"It's our Great God Meng Lei!"

"Praise be to you, Great God Meng Lei!"

Everyone bowed and prayed to Meng Lei. Their demeanors couldn't get any more pious than that.

"What fearsome power!"

Meng Lei didn't notice how great of a commotion he had caused at all. He exhaled a long pent-up breath as he took in the sensation of the almost-overflowing power in him.

Boom!

The pent-up breath he exhaled turned into a howling storm that happened to crash into a lofty mountain, causing the mountain to be crushed downward from the mid-point right away.

"So, is this what power on the level of a higher deity is like?" A shocked Meng Lei murmured to himself.

"No, it's not enough yet. It still lacks a bit of power!"

Dodola's voice rang out. "I don't know where you got the Titan blood essence from, but your body has only reached the level of an intermediate deity's limits after assimilation. It still falls a bit short of a higher deity's level."

"It hasn't reached a higher deity's level yet?"

Meng Lei was slightly startled. He said, "But I feel very powerful right now. It's as if I can crush the Dark Demonic Dragon, the Magical Beast God, and other fellows like them with just a punch!"

"If I said that it hasn't reached that level yet, then that means it hasn't reached that level yet. How dare you question my judgment?"

Dodola suddenly appeared in front of Meng Lei, its quaint little wings flapping slightly.

Boom!

A violent gust of wind swept toward Meng Lei, instantly slamming into his chest. Meng Lei felt a fearsome wave of power striking his chest right away. He couldn't help but let out a muffled grunt as he stumbled backward, barely managing to come to a stop after more than ten steps.

"What are you doing, Dodola?"

Meng Lei flew into a rage.

Dodola replied dispassionately, "I've only used an ordinary higher deity's level of strength just now, yet I had easily blasted you backward. Do you understand the difference between a higher deity and yourself now?"

"I really haven't stepped into the realm of a higher deity yet?"

Meng Lei was dumbfounded.

But I'm already so strong!

"Duh! A Titan King's height typically starts at 5,000,000 feet, but take a look at your height now! You're still falling a bit short of that. That's what I mean when I say you still lack a bit of power. Do you understand now?"

Chapter 307: Primordial Green Dragon, Cerberus

Fall a bit short of a higher deity's level?

That's fine, though. I still have Super Enhancement.

Meng Lei remained relaxed and asked the system immediately.

"Ding! Host's Physical Body Constitution is infinitely close to a higher deity and will become a higher deity after Super Enhancement. Super Enhancement price: 3,000,000 Divinity Crystals!"

"3,000,000 Divinity Crystals?"

Meng Lei was agitated instantly. "Wasn't my infinitely close to a higher deity? Why do I still need so many Divinity Crystals? Is this a robbery?"

The system went silent and simply did not reply, as if saying, "If you're not going to enhance, then forget it."

"Enhance for what? All these Divinity Crystals are enough for me to use Super Pickup 30,000 times. I just don't believe that there will be nothing good from so many chances!"

Meng Lei began to use a second Super Pickup.

"Ding! Dear host, please designate your target existential plane."

I've already picked up twice in the Celestial Realm, time to go somewhere else.

"Forest Divine Realm!"

Whoosh!

100 Divinity Crystals were gone.

After a dozen seconds, the cold voice of the system rang again.

"Ding! Pickup successful. You have obtained a Primordial Green Dragon's Egg!"

"Primordial Green Dragon's egg?

Meng Lei was stunned. After becoming true gods, the Colossal Dragon Gods would become the Colossal Ancient Dragon, higher up would be the Colossal Ancient Dragon King that leveled lesser deities, up another level at intermediate deity would be the Colossal Primordial Dragon.

The Primordial Green Dragon here meant that it was an intermediate deity with fearsome capabilities.

However, the egg was not very useful for Meng Lei currently, so he sent it to the Tower of Time to hatch without a second thought.

"Let's continue with the pickups, system!"

"Ding! Pickup successful. You have obtained Natural Goddess' underwear! Will you wear it?"

"Why would I f*cking wear that, you disgusting b*stard of a system! Can you be more serious here? My Divinity Crystals aren't here to be wasted like this!"

Meng Lei yelled.

"Ding! Pickup successful. You have obtained a drop of Wood Bat's blood essence. Will you assimilate it?"

"A Wood Bat? No way I'll assimilate that!"

A shiver went through Meng Lei as his face turned pale.

Who knows if this thing harbors viruses?

Assimilate?

Do you want to die?

"Ding! Pickup successful. You have obtained a spatial ring!"

"Spatial ring?"

Meng Lei's eyes lit up as he quickly checked the spatial ring. It was a pity that the owner was clearly not a tycoon. The ring was likely from an ordinary deity from the Forest Divine Realm.

Still, even the most ordinary of deities were deities of the Forest Divine Realm with decent riches.

A pair of Divinity Crystals, loads of Laws of Nature Origin Crystals, a few low-tier divine weapons, some divine cores, and other miscellaneous items...

"Collect the Divinity Crystals!"

"Collect the Laws of Nature Origin Crystals!"

Whoosh!

His wealth grew by 20,000 Divinity Crystals.

Even though it was not a lot, whatever was spent just now had been earned back.

It felt fantastic!

"Let's continue with the pickups, system!"

"Ding! Dear host, please designate your target existential plane."

"Still the Forest Divine Realm!"

"Ding! Pickup successful. You have obtained a Crystallized Divine Spirit Extract! Will you assimilate it?"

"Crystallized Divine Spirit Extract? Not bad, assimilate!"

After assimilating this Crystallized Divine Spirit Extract, Meng Lei's divine spirit was strengthened further from an elementary-level to an intermediate-level intermediate deity.

"Carry on!"

"Ding! Pickup successful. You have obtained an Omega Divine Ape's carcass!"

"Dodola, what kind of divine beast is the Omega Divine Ape?"

"Omega Divine Ape? That's a rather impressive divine beast. An adult could tear apart intermediate deities alive, belonging to a pinnacle-level intermediate divine beast!"

"Pinnacle-level intermediate divine beast?"

Meng Lei was a little disappointed, but it was better than nothing. He promptly released the Omega Divine Ape's carcass and started to absorb its life essence.

Gurgle~

Huge amounts of life essence surged into the body as warm currents filled his body as if he was soaked in 70C hot spring water.

"Come on! Hope this can help me breakthrough to a higher deity level in one go!" Meng Lei encouraged himself.

The Omega Divine Ape's carcass dried up at a speed visible to the naked eye as Meng Lei's divine body was somewhat strengthened.

Yet... he still could not break through to become a higher deity. Meng Lei was a little disappointed, and he could only carry on with the pickups.

"Ding! Pickup successful. You have obtained a Soul Ice Marrow droplet. Will you assimilate it?"

"Soul Ice Marrow droplet? Keep it first!"

"Ding! Pickup successful. You have obtained a Fusion Laws of Nature Fragment. Will you assimilate it?"

"Yes, assimilate it!"

"Ding! Pickup successful. You have obtained a higher deity's Divine Core. Will you assimilate it?"

"Higher deity's divine core? Nope!"

"Ding! Pickup successful. You have obtained a Ninth Heaven Elderwood Beast's cub!"

"Dodola, what kind of beast god is the Ninth Heaven Elderwood Beast?"

"The Ninth Heaven Elderwood Beast is an extremely rare thunder-elemental and wood-elemental divine beast. It's born as a half-deity and becomes a higher deity when they're adults."

"Nice stuff, I'll raise it first!"

"Ding! Pickup successful. You have obtained a Mystic Ginseng!"

"Mystic Ginseng is an extremely valuable divine medicine that could revive the dead and grow flesh on bones[1, whereby even if a higher deity was heavily injured, one Mystic Ginseng would be enough to heal it!"

"Nice! Keep that!"

"Ding! Pickup successful..."

For the next twenty pickups in the Forest Divine Realm, there were plenty of treasures. However, there was nothing that could help Meng Lei break through to become a higher deity.

He had no choice but to change the target existential plane.

Meng Lei locked in the Netherworld.

"Ding! Pickup successful. You have obtained the Fallen Angel bloodline. Will you assimilate it?"

"No, don't assimilate it."

"Ding! Pickup successful. You have obtained a Necromancer's Spiritual Core. Will you assimilate it?"

"Necromancer? Spiritual core? What are those?"

"Necromancers are higher netherworld beings that level half-deities at birth, and they will become higher deity level as adults!"

Dodola continued explaining. "The spirit core is the core of the Necromancers, similar to divine cores of the various deities and demonic cores of demons, basically divine cores."

"I see."

The pressure generated from this spirit core was terrifying, similar to the higher deity's divine core, meaning it should be a higher spirit core.

A higher spirit core's value must be shockingly high. As long as it was assimilated, Meng Lei could leap toward becoming a higher deity, but he did not want to risk his future.

"Ding! Pickup successful. You have obtained a Cerberus cub!"

"Cerberus... cub?"

With a thought, a cute little puppy appeared in front of Meng Lei. It looked like a month-old husky, cute and chubby.

It was a pity that it was shrouded in black-red flames with incredibly high temperatures. Any normal person who got close would be burnt into ashes!

"What a nice little dog!"

Meng Lei liked this little guy at first sight as he could not resist patting its furry head.

However, in the next moment...

Woof!

The puppy bit Meng Lei's hand and growled at Meng Lei, obviously showing its unwillingness to let Meng Lei pet its head.

"That's pretty fierce!"

Meng Lei smiled and lifted the puppy by its neck. "Isn't this a Cerberus? Why is there only one head?"

Woof! Woof! Woof!

The little dog bared its teeth and barked at Meng Lei as it would not listen to Meng Lei at all. Meng Lei did not mind as he brought out a bone.

Woof?

The puppy's attention was caught immediately. It stared at the bone and drooled all over the ground. What was the difference between this and the normal dogs in Meng Lei's house in his previous life?

"I guess no matter what kind of dog they are, they all love bones. Now I know how to deal with you!"

Chapter 308: Limits-Level Divine Body, Pinnacle-Grade Divine Spirit

Cerberus was an extremely fearsome divine beast. An adult Cerberus could even swallow a higher deity alive. They could be said to have an exceptionally wild and violent nature.

Additionally, they also inherited a characteristic typical of canines—their reproduction rate was especially high. Cerberuses had a wide distribution in high-end demonic existential planes like the Netherworld, the Demon Realm, and Hell.

As a result, Cerberuses were even more fearsome and more powerful than the Divine Netherworld Phoenixes!

Therefore, one mustn't underestimate the little dog that looked remarkably similar to a husky. It would grow into an extremely fearsome existence in the future!

However, it was ultimately still just an adorable little puppy at the moment. A few bones were enough to trick it into running around in circles, and it showed great affection for Meng Lei.

"Good doggy!"

Meng Lei stroked its furry head, which felt especially nice to the touch. He said, "Since you're so adorable and look so much like a husky, I'll just name you Husky!"

"Woof!"

Husky didn't put up any resistance, allowing Meng Lei to stroke it. Its jet-black little eyes were fixed on Meng Lei and filled with desire as though it was saying, "Bones! I wanna eat bones!"

"Don't worry. You'll get what you want!"

Meng Lei brought out another divine beast thighbone and fed it to Husky while he continued to carry out pickups.

"Ding! Pickup successful. You have obtained a spatial ring!"

"Another spatial ring?"

Meng Lei perked up slightly. His divine cognition swiftly entered the spatial ring, and then he began to look through the contents.

Meng Lei was all smiles the moment he did—there were much richer rewards in this spatial ring than the previous one. One could tell at first glance that it had belonged to a wealthy tycoon.

Meng Lei promptly ordered, "Collect the Divinity Crystals and the Laws of Nature Origin Crystals, system!"

Whoosh!

His Wealth instantly spiked by 3.6 million Divinity Crystals!

"3.6 million Divinity Crystals? What a windfall!"

With the newly-gained 3.6 million Divinity Crystals, Meng Lei's Wealth successfully broke through the 10 million milestone and reached an amount as high as 12.1 million Divinity Crystals, making him a rich man overnight!

"28 mid-tier demonic weapons and innumerable low-tier demonic weapons!

"And most importantly, there are actually so many Crystallized Divine Spirit Extracts in here! I've struck gold! I've struck gold big-time! Say no more, I'll just assimilate these Crystallized Divine Spirit Extracts first!"

Boom!

Following vast amounts of Crystallized Divine Spirit Extracts entering his body, Meng Lei's divine spirit flame began to visibly expand as though it had been doused with buckets of petroleum.

It doubled, tripled, quadrupled...

At last, after an unknown amount of time, the divine spirit flame's expansion rate finally began to slow down. His divine spirit flame was currently as many as ten times bigger than what it had previously been.

Another look at the stats interface revealed that his divine spirit had also gone from mid-grade intermediate deity-level to pinnacle-grade intermediate deity-level. His divine spirit was only a step away from becoming a higher deity-level now!

"A limits-grade intermediate deity-level divine body and a pinnacle-grade intermediate deity-level divine spirit!"

Meng Lei slowly let out a pent-up breath and remarked, "Apart from lacking a divine core and divine incarnations, I'm already totally a pinnacle-level intermediate deity now! It's just a shame that I still haven't found anything that can enhance my divine body yet."

There were also a lot of Demon God, Specter God, and Undead God dead bodies in the spatial ring. In fact, the divine power that some of them gave off could rival an intermediate deity's.

Meng Lei devoured and absorbed them all, causing his life force to grow without end.

Yet, no matter how it grew, it simply couldn't cross the hurdle. His divine body remained stuck at limits-grade intermediate deity-level the whole time, unable to progress any further.

Meng Lei rubbed his temples. He was rather frustrated. He muttered, "Why can't my divine body evolve, even though I've already devoured this much life force?"

"This is a very normal occurrence."

Dodola's voice rang out. "The progression from an intermediate deity to a higher deity might seem like only a single step, but it's no different from an insurmountable obstacle in reality. One can't just break through it so easily.

"Otherwise, people like the Titan Spiritual God won't be stuck as a pinnacle-level intermediate deity for so long and unable to take that critical step forward."

"What should I do, Dodola?"

Meng Lei frowned slightly. Must he really spend 3 million Divinity Crystals on Super Enhancement?

"You can consider two ways," Dodola said dispassionately, "Firstly, if you have enough power of divinity in your reserves, I'd suggest that you try the Divine Netherworld Phoenix's Rise From The Ashes."

"Rise From The Ashes?"

Meng Lei's eyes lit up slightly.

That's true. Why didn't I think of using that Innate Special Ability?

"The second way is to look for treasures that can enhance your divine body, such as a Titan King's blood essence and so on."

Dodola cast a meaningful glance at Meng Lei and said, "I believe this shouldn't be much of a problem for you?"

Meng Lei gave Dodola a wry smile and replied, "Ordinary treasures aren't hard to find, but that's not necessarily also the case when it comes to treasures of that grade."

After carrying out so many Super Pickups, the Titan King's blood essence droplet could be said to be the most valuable treasure that he had obtained. As for the others... They were really very mediocre.

"That's out of my hands!"

Dodola looked relaxed as it said, "If all else fails, then just split your divine spirit and deify in advance. Your divine spirit is very strong, so splitting it should be a cinch for you."

"Easy for you to say!"

Meng Lei shook his head. It hadn't been easy enhancing his divine spirit to its current state. He'd rather use Super Enhancement than split his divine spirit and weaken his divine spirit.

"Just do as you deem fit, then!"

Dodola's voice subsequently faded away.

A resigned Meng Lei could only continue to carry out pickups.

"Ding..."

"Ding..."

"Ding..."

In the time that followed, Meng Lei continuously carried out pickups. However, things didn't go his way. The Netherworld, the Demon Realm, the Abyss, Hell, the Thunderbolt Divine Realm, the Light Divine Realm... He carried out pickups in all of them!

He gained a lot of average treasures, but he didn't pick up anything else that could aid him in breaking through.

For a few consecutive days, Meng Lei only picked up a large amount of random, messy trash.

Of course, in the eyes of true gods, lesser deities, and even intermediate deities, what he viewed as trash were undoubtedly treasures that could enhance one's strength instead!

"Forget it! Since I can't pick up any, then I'd better just stop for now. It's pointless to continue any further."

Meng Lei finally walked out of the wrecked palace. Then, he summoned Puhaman over.

"Greetings, Master!"

Puhaman bowed respectfully.

Meng Lei asked casually, "How's the migration progress?"

"After our hard work the last few days, we've already sent the first batch of Beast People into all 48 existential planes," Puhaman replied respectfully.

Then, he added, "There are a total of 48 million Beast People with one million on each existential plane."

"An acceptable progression rate."

Meng Lei nodded slightly. The Beast People Empire was teeming with Beast People, after all. 48 million? That was nothing but just a drop in the ocean. However, to the 48 existential planes, those 48 million Beast People... were instead the best seeds!

Given the Beast People's terrifying reproduction rate, those one million people on each existential plane would multiply by tenfold, maybe by even a few dozen times, in just a year!

Of course, if they were to relax the timeline even further or migrate more seeds over, the population growth would undoubtedly also become even faster.

"All of you have done well. Keep up the good work!"

Meng Lei nodded slightly. Then, he brought out a huge pile of treasures with a wave. They were treasures that he had picked up but were of no use to him and brought over in the past.

They included Saint Domain magic devices, half-divine weapons, true god-level divine weapons, magic materials, magic crystals, etc.

"Master, these...?"

Puhaman looked puzzled.

"These things were brought over from the Dragon God Empire, the Beast People Empire, the Titan Empire, and other forces' treasuries, but they are no longer of any use to me."

Meng Lei said dispassionately, "I've taken them out now to fill up the empire's treasury so that they may be used wherever is appropriate. As for how they should be used, you can do as you deem fit."

Treasures would definitely always be useful. It merely depended on who the one using it was. They might be useless to Meng Lei, but it didn't mean that they would also be useless to others!

Given the Meng Lei Empire's vastness and how generations of geniuses were currently emerging, a new batch of pillars supporting the empire would definitely come to pass in the future. It wouldn't do at all if the empire didn't have anything to bestow upon them!

Puhaman launched into a mad deluge of flattery at once. "Master, your wisdom and generosity are as if the blazing sun in the sky..."

Chapter 309: New Home, The Demon God Descends

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Howl!

Howling chilly winds wreaked havoc in the ice fields.

A world of ice completely covered in frost and snow, these were the Far Northern Icelands of Heaven's Vault Continent.

Whoosh!

A huge shadowy mass suddenly traveled swiftly across the ice fields—it was actually an astonishingly large group of humans that numbered tens of thousands flying in the sky.

Upon closer look, they turned out to be tens of thousands of shabbily-dressed Beast People. At the moment, however, they all sported fearful and horror-stricken looks on their faces and looked as if they were full of despair.

Above them was a Multi-Armed Behemoth—it was Meng Lei's Magical Beast pet, Sacas.

"Listen up now!"

Sacas tried to comfort the Beast People as they flew. It said, "The new home that I'm bringing all of you to is an all-new continent. There, the lands are vast, and the resources rich and abundant. It's a perfect habitat to live in!

"There, no one will compete with you for resources or fight with you for food. Neither are there savage Magical Beasts that will attack you! You can reproduce freely and make the place your home."

The Beast People were dubious about his claims. Vast lands? Rich and abundant resources? No natural enemies?

Did a place as wonderful as that really exist?

Amid their doubts, everyone arrived at the teleportation magic circle in the Far Northern Icelands in no time. Sacas led the Beast People through the teleportation magic circle and arrived at Demonic Dragon Continent.

"Look, this is your new home!"

Sacas pointed at the vast and boundless Demonic Dragon Continent and said passionately, "Here, there are lush grasslands, dense and luxuriant forests, clear rivers, and fertile soil!"

The Beast People's eyes widened big and round as they gazed at the all-new world. True enough, what entered their sights was green grasslands that stretched as far as the eye could see, a sea of lush forests, and great rivers that meandered through the lands like silver snakes...

And yet...

They didn't spot even a single Magical Beast!

They didn't spot even a single human!

They didn't spot even a single Colossal Dragon!

"Here, you can freely till the fields, herd or let the livestock graze as much as you want, and fish as you wish. You can also pick fruits and enjoy life as much as you want!"

Sacas said loudly, "Now, I'll bring you to your new home!"

Shortly after, they arrived at the intersection of an expanse of grasslands and a forest. Sacas let the Beast People down. At the same time, he also brought out a huge pile of food, seeds, etc.

"Welcome to your new home, my people!"

Similar incidents were also taking place in all the other existential planes.

Thaniel the Black Dragon, Bubbles the Fallen Titan, Mervyn the squid Magician, Pursuer the alchemy creature, Nadja the Black Panther Goddess, Seisia the Thunderbolt Queen, Galen the Swirling Snow Sword Saint, Rose the Spider Goddess, Nagaros the Dark Fairy Empress, Anton the Dark Snapping Turtle King, etc.—all of them were also busy migrating people over.

Every one of them took the trouble to personally migrate them over.

All of them were full of smiles and brimming with anticipation.

In the past, many of them could only hide underground and painstakingly build up what they could because they didn't have fiefs of their own.

But now that they had such wonderful resources sitting in front of them, how would they possibly let it pass them by?

They couldn't wait to see the day where their worshipers filled the 48 existential planes and provided vast amounts of power of faith for them!

With power of faith, they would be able to convert it into power of divinity!

With power of faith, they would be able to enhance their divine spirit!

Even the mere thought of it seemed wonderful!

They had only one word for it—beautiful!

After settling the group of Beast People, Sacas went through the teleportation magic circle and returned to the Far Northern Icelands. However, something shocking entered its sight at this moment:

A massive black pit suddenly appeared in the sky, spanning across it like a black hole. It was hard to say just how big it was, but it measured at least 100-meters-wide even when looking at it from the faraway Far Northern Icelands.

Given that it measured 100-meters-wide even when looking at it from such a great distance away, one could easily imagine just how massive the black hole must be!

Boom!

A black-light beam suddenly shot out of the black hole and shone vertically downward on the ground, forming a black pillar of light that connected the heavens and earth.

Vast, majestic might spread everywhere into the surroundings from the black pillar of light, spreading throughout Heaven's Vault Continent like a tsunami.

Thud!

Everywhere the mighty aura passed through, be it normal humans or Saint Domain experts, everyone fell onto their knees uncontrollably. They felt as if a huge rock was weighing down on their hearts, making it difficult for them to breathe.

"O Great God Meng Lei! W-what exactly is going on?"

"Have extraterrestrial demons descended upon us?"

"Please watch over us, Great God Meng Lei! Please watch over us..."

The people were terrified out of their wits. Filled with fear and unease, they hastily started to pray piously.

"Something terrible has happened!"

Sacas' expression changed drastically. It transformed into a beam of light that shot toward the Meng Lei Empire. Thaniel, Nadja, and the others also did the same.

Roar!

A loud and sonorous dragon roar rang out. The people looked up and turned their gazes to the direction from which the roar came. At once, they saw a terrifying, savage-looking dragon head emerge from within the black hole.

It was then followed by its body, wings, tail...

It was a Dark Demonic Dragon that measured more than 1,000,000-feet-long. Pitch-black all over and incredibly savage-looking, it gave off a demonic aura that reached all the way into the heavens.

"A Colossal Dragon! It's a Colossal Dragon!"

"Oh my god! The Colossal Dragons are back!"

"The Colossal Dragons have made a comeback..."

The Dragon God Empire had only just been overthrown not too long ago, so the people's faith in the Dragon God hadn't yet completely dispersed. How could they possibly have forgotten about the nefarious Colossal Dragons?

For a moment, hate, fury, fear, and various other negative emotions swept through Heaven's Vault Continent, and the people sank into great fear and panic.

Roar!

"What fearsome demonic might! That's a Dark Demonic Dragon! Boss was right on the mark after all!"

Sacas moved at high speed while keeping his gaze fixed on the Dark Demonic Dragon that had emerged from the black hole. It scoffed, "Do they think they can make trouble here with just one intermediate deity-level Dark Demonic Dragon, though? They are practically just courting deat—"

Roar!

Just as Sacas was sneering, another huge and savage-looking head that also gave off great demonic might popped out of the black hole.

Its body... measured 1,000,000-feet-long, too!

"Another Dark Demonic Dragon?!" Sacas' heart sank a little. "It's alright. Boss is the master of the existential plane. So what even if there are two intermediate deities?"

Roar!

It was just a shame that following the second Dark Demonic Dragon, more of them also started to emerge one after another. As though they had opened Pandora's box, there was no end to them at all.

In under a minute, 50 Dark Demonic Dragons had emerged from the black hole. Every one of them was 1,000,000-feet-long and emanated overwhelming demonic might.

Sacas was completely unnerved this time. A hint of shock and horror surfaced in its eyes as it exclaimed, "Damn it! Why are there so many Dark Demonic Dragons? Where did they come from?"

No one answered Sacas, however.

No one answered Thaniel and the others, too.

No one answered the masses, either!

Roar!

Roar!

Roar!

50 Dark Demonic Dragons circled about high up in the sky as they roared furiously into the sky. Their earth-shattering roars were as though thousands upon thousands of horses neighing simultaneously or thousands upon thousands of cannons exploding.

Boom!!

Roiling sound waves haphazardly mixed together and formed an earth-shattering energy wave that exploded with a deafening boom. The dimension broke and splintered into numerous viscous masses.

In a split second, the azure-blue skies turned into pitch-black hell as several horrifying space-time rifts flickered and appeared. It was as though doomsday had come.

Chapter 310: A Must-Have, Daydream

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

"So many Demon Gods!"

In a hidden dimension within Heaven's Vault Continent, an enormous figure gazed upon the black hole and the 50 Dark Demonic Dragons with an ugly look.

"Where did they come from?"

This figure was the previous religion of the Beast People Empire—the Beast God. At this moment, however, a deeply confused look took over his gloomy face.

50 Demon Gods!

That was a force that could wreak havoc across countless existential planes, disintegrate any deity alliances, and conquer massive territories!

The question was—why would this force descend upon Heaven's Vault Continent? What were they plotting?

"Heaven's Vault Continent is just a normal low-end existential plane. How is it possible that it could attract so many Demon Gods here?"

The Beast God did not understand. "A secret! There must be some secret in Heaven's Vault Continent!"

Whoosh!

A figure appeared quietly. It wore golden armor and was incredibly muscular—it was one of the four great true gods of Heaven's Vault Continent, the Titan Spiritual God!

"Kronos, you couldn't sit still either?"

The Beast God took a glance at the Titan Spiritual God.

"Haylen, do you know why these Demon Gods have descended here?" asked the Titan Spiritual God.

The Beast God shook his head. "I can't tell yet!"

"50 Demon Gods, such an enormous scale!"

The Titan Spiritual God frowned deeply. "What purpose could they possibly have?"

Just as both deities were puzzled, two skinnier figures came out of the black hole and descended upon Heaven's Vault Continent.

Upon seeing these two, both deities' expressions changed.

"Helibos!"

"Why him?"

They did not know the other figure, but they would definitely recognize another one of the four great true gods of Heaven's Vault Continent, the Dragon God, Helibos Haber!

"These Demon Gods are brought here by the Dragon God?"

"It seems so!"

"I don't understand. Where did the Dragon God find so many experts? Wasn't he the weakest and had the least influence among the four of us?"

"I'm not sure! I guess we'll see!"

"Master!"

50 Dark Demonic Dragons lowered their heads and bowed respectfully.

"Rise, everyone!" A middle-aged man in black robes said lightly and looked toward the Dragon God. "Helibos, I hope you did not deceive me!"

"You need not worry, teacher!" The Dragon God promised. "That rascal who snatched the Tower of Time away is right here in this existential plane. Let me call him out, and the rest will be decided by you, my teacher!"

"Very well, go then!"

The middle-aged man in black robes nodded slightly.

"Uno, Dos, both of you shall follow Helibos."

"Yes, Master!"

The two Dark Demonic Dragons nodded their heads.

"Please wait for a moment, my teacher!"

The Dragon God bowed slightly before bringing Uno and Dos toward the Meng Lei Empire.

The middle-aged man in black robes watched the three dragons' back as a hint of greed flashed across his eyes. No one knew the true value of the Tower of Time better than him, and no-one desired to obtain it more than him!

The Tower of Time—the rumored time divine weapon!

It was created by the great God of Time, the only one that had comprehended the laws of time in the vast and boundless universe. It was said that there were not just his lifelong riches in the tower, but there were also his cultivation methods for the laws of time and even a high-end existential plane seed!

Any of the three would make countless deities envious, not to mention all three together!

Hence, the moment there was news of the Tower of Time, the middle-aged man in black robes came here. He would rather believe it to be true than not since if the Tower of Time was indeed here, he would strike the jackpot!

"The Tower of Time, I must have it!"

"You lowly cheap piece of trash, I'll see how you die this time!"

The Dragon God was excited as he was eager to see Meng Lei. "I won't let you get something that I could not get myself!"

The three of them flew at high speed and reached the sky above the Meng Lei Empire Palace.

The landing of the three dragons, especially the two Dark Demonic Dragons, created a huge ruckus that terrified Imperial City's citizens.

They wanted to run, but under the suppression of the demonic might, it was difficult to stand, not to mention running away. All they could do was pray.

"Please watch over us, our Great God Meng Lei!"

"Oh Great God Meng Lei, I pray for my safety, I pray for my family's safety, I pray for my wife's family's safety. As long as you bless me, I'm willing to do anything..."

"Come out and face your death at once, knave!" The Dragon God roared, and like deafening claps of thunder, it blasted into the people's ears. Their minds buzzed, and they were petrified once more.

"You audacious heretic, how dare you to act so atrociously here!"

A figure soared up into the sky with an angry roar and glared at the Dragon God and the two Dark Demonic Dragons as he emitted divine might.

It was Puhaman!

As the Meng Lei Empire Army's absolute authority, Puhaman's prestige in the empire was the highest, excluding Meng Lei. His appearance had an immediate effect as the people were relieved to see him.

"Yes! It's Lord Puhaman!"

The people looked on with their hopeful eyes at Puhaman.

It was a pity, though...

"Who is this lowly worm that dares to bark in front of me?"

Uno bellowed as it slapped its enormous dragon claws at such a high speed that Puhaman could not evade at all, striking him hard.

"Ugh!"

Puhaman was like a meteorite plummeting faster than when he arrived as he crashed into a palace that was reduced to rubble.

"Argh!!"

Puhaman spat out a mouthful of blood. He felt that his bones were shattered, and his organs were badly injured.

"Little worm, you think too highly of yourself!"

The Dragon God could not help but sneer. "Meng Lei, you knave, don't think that you can escape death by hiding in your palace. I'll tell you that's daydreaming!

"If you know what's good for you, follow me to meet my teacher at once. Otherwise, I'll make sure you die a terrible death!"

"Why so troublesome?" Uno bellowed as he spat a black dragon's breath toward the imperial palace. The breath was filled with endless destructive power that could ravage anything in the world.

If there were no miracles, the entire imperial palace would be reduced to rubbles. Everyone inside and even the city would be turned into ashes.

"It's all over!"

Watching the terrifying dragon's breath descending from the sky, the people were in utter despair. At that moment, a cold voice rang abruptly, as if it rang in everyone's heart. "Absolute Zero!"

Buzz...

A golden cold fog met the black dragon's breath. Once they met, the black dragon's breath started to freeze into a thick icicle.

The icicle then broke into ice chips.

"We're saved!"

The people were immensely relieved, as though they had just been to hell and back. Right then, a figure rose into the sky slowly and appeared above the imperial palace.

"Great God Meng Lei!"

"It's Great God Meng Lei!"

"He saved us!"

The people wept tears of joy.

"Well, well, well, Dragon God. You're not hiding in your divine nation to live the rest of your miserable life, and you dare come out with a death wish?" Meng Lei surveyed the Dragon God and the two Dark Demonic Dragons.

"You cheap piece of trash! still so stubborn even when death is knocking on your door!" The Dragon God grinned. "Today, I won't just kill you. I'll take everything that you took from me back!"

"That will depend on whether you're capable!"

Meng Lei scoffed.

"Dodola, lock onto this divinity projection of the Dragon God and find his divine nation. I'll finish this stinky bug off completely!"

"As long as there's a divinity projection, everything's a-okay!"

Chapter 311: Thundering Fury, Headshot With One Punch

"That cheap, lowly human is doomed! With that many Demon Gods there, they'll definitely rip him into shreds!

"In comparison, I'm more concerned about those people. Where exactly are they from? And why are they willing to work for Helibos?"

The Beast God and the Titan Spiritual God stood proudly in the sky as they kept a close watch on the Dragon God and the others' movements. The more attention they paid to them, the more questions arose in their minds.

Where did that many Dark Demonic Dragons come from?

Why were they willing to help the Dragon God?

What was their purpose in coming to Heaven's Vault Continent?

"Both you and I know that Helibos has always been alone. Although he's technically a member of the Colossal Dragon Gods, he's not valued at all."

The Titan Spiritual God mused aloud in a low voice, "But he's suddenly recruited so many powerhouses this time. This doesn't make sense at all! Could it be that Helibos has also had a similar encounter like mine whereby the Colossal Dragon Gods suddenly attached importance to him and bestowed upon him a group of subordinates?"

The Beast God let out a derisive laugh and replied, "Look at how Helibos is bending all over for them. Does he even look like their master?"

The Titan Spiritual God shook his head slightly. Given Helibos' exceptionally respectful attitude toward that black-robed middle-aged man, the duo's statuses were self-evident—Helibos looked more like the other man's subordinate instead.

"Since they aren't his subordinates, why have they descended upon Heaven's Vault Continent? Are they just here to seek revenge on Helibos' behalf?" asked the Titan Spiritual God.

"No way!"

The Beast God's eyes flickered with a shrewd gleam. He said, "There's no point in doing things that don't benefit you. This is especially true for deities like us. Who would do things that don't benefit them? Something fishy must be going on!"

"You mean..."

The Titan Spiritual God's brows drew together slightly.

"I have a bold conjecture. Meng Lei must be hiding some kind of astounding secret on him, and those people are here for that secret!"

The Beast God spoke in a low and deep voice, the fury in his voice barely concealable. He had suddenly realized that he might have been duped. The Dragon God had claimed that he wanted to seek revenge on Meng Lei during the last time the Dragon God had come to him to exchange for the devil contract.

However, it was only now that the Beast God realized that it was clearly because Helibos had been coveting the huge secret on Meng Lei that he had risked his life to approach him.

Revenge?

It was nothing more than just an excuse!

"An astounding secret?"

The Titan Spiritual God's pupils contracted sharply. He exclaimed, "Now that you mention it, I think that's highly likely the case. Otherwise, how can a human like him possibly cultivate so quickly?"

"I get it now! I finally get it now!" The Titan Spiritual God gnashed his teeth in fury as he said, "That damned Helibos! He clearly knew that secret, yet he kept it from both of us and told those people instead!"

"It's too late to say anything now."

The Beast God said with a sigh, "Judging from how big a fuss those people are making, they are clearly hell-bent on getting it. What can we do even if we know that Meng Lei's hiding a secret?"

"Damn it!"

100,000 feet was roughly equivalent to 300 kilometers.

A 300-kilometer-long body! One could imagine just how enormous the two Dark Demonic Dragons were.

They spanned across the sky above the imperial palace like two undulating mountain ranges suspended above the people, forming a dark mass that practically blotted out the sun.

Dark Demonic Dragon Uno asked in a deep roar, "Helibos, is he that person that Master is looking for?"

"Yes, he's my teacher's target!"

The Dragon God nodded slightly. Then, he gave them a kind warning and said, "But you mustn't let down your guard. Although that renegade is certainly hateful, his strength is not to be underestimated."

"How strong can a native deity of a low-end existential plane be? I can swallow him whole in one gulp!"

Dragon Uno let out a derisive laugh and roared, "Human deity if you know what's good for you, come with me obediently to meet my master. Otherwise, I don't mind ripping you into shreds!"

"You sure talk big." Meng Lei held his hands behind his back as he said, "The grass growing at the grave of the last Dark Demonic Dragon that had dared to act so arrogantly in front of me has already grown dozens of meters tall."

"How presumptuous!"

Dragon Uno raised its claw that measured dozens of kilometers wide and smacked it down forcefully. The claw gleamed coldly in the light as it smashed down at Meng Lei.

Compared to the mountain-sized claw, Meng Lei was as though an insignificant little ant.

"Long live the Great God Meng Lei!"

"The Great God Meng Lei is unbeatable!"

"The Great God Meng Lei is the strongest!"

"Great God Meng Lei, I'm cheering for you!"

The Imperial City's citizens' hearts leaped into their mouths. All of them prayed for Meng Lei amid their own unease.

"You think too highly of yourself."

Meng Lei gave a shake of his head as he watched the gigantic claw crashing down upon him. As though an inflating balloon, his divine body started to expand, instantly reaching a height of 100,000 feet.

Then, he clenched his right hand into a fist and met the gigantic claw smacking him with it.

Crack!

As though Mars were crashing into Earth, violent shockwaves exploded into the surroundings together with a terrifying, earth-shattering boom. The dimension broke instantly.

To the Imperial City citizens' horror, they saw a humongous black hole form above them. As though a ferocious primeval beast's gigantic mouth, it looked like it was going to devour everything in the world.

Roar!

Dragon Uno retracted its claw right away with a muffled grunt. Its massive claw was trembling slightly—evidently, the clash just now had not felt good.

"I've surprisingly underestimated you!" A look of cautious reservation flashed across Dragon Uno's eyes as they bore into Meng Lei. "Do you think you can contend against me with just that, though? Demon's Domain!"

Buzz...

An imprisoning force suddenly spread into the surroundings, locking down the dimension around them right away. Meng Lei, who was in the center of Demon's Domain, bore the brunt of the attack and was locked down where he was.

"Die, you worm!"

Dragon Uno let out a furious roar. It opened its cavernous, ghastly fang-filled jaws and bit at Meng Lei. Each of its fangs measured several kilometers long and was even harder and sharper than a lesser deity-level divine weapon.

Should the bite land, even a lofty mountain would undoubtedly be crushed into smithereens.

"Don't you brush your teeth before you head outside?"

Meng Lei wrinkled his nose in distaste as he tried to wave the stench away. He said, "It's not your fault for having bad breath, but it's not right if you come here and disgust others with it!"

The moment he spoke, Meng Lei teleported above Dragon Uno and stomped down heavily with his foot.

Boom!

His enormous sole landed squarely on Dragon Uno's head. Following the crisp sounds of bones breaking and tendons snapping, Dragon Uno's head plummeted straight toward the ground like a falling meteor.

Should it really crash onto the ground, the greater half of the Imperial City would undoubtedly be implicated, and the millions of people living in the Imperial City would definitely be crushed dead.

Meng Lei evidently would never allow such a thing to happen. He teleported underneath Dragon Uno and socked it forcefully on the chin with his fist like a cannon.

Crack!

Meng Lei had used his full force. Raging great force exploded with a boom, instantly breaking Dragon Uno's lower jaw into pieces and subsequently blasting its head apart.

Bits of flesh flew everywhere as blood spilled.

The pitiful intermediate deity-level Dragon Uno didn't even have the time to scream before its head was blasted apart. It died on the spot and became deader than dead.

Meng Lei stored Dragon Uno's enormous carcass into the Tower of Time with a casual beckoning wave, lest it plummeted onto the ground and caused a great disaster.

"Dragon Uno!"

Dragon Dos' eyes widened greatly. Flames of hate burst forth from its eyes as it spat, "Damned native, how dare you kill Dragon Uno! I'm going to eat you up!"

"You're too noisy!"

Chapter 312: Instantly Killing The Demonic Dragon, Besieging Meng Lei

Nobody expected Meng Lei and Dark Demonic Dragon Uno's battle to end so quickly.

After all, that was a 1,000,000-feet-long Dark Demonic Dragon whose strength rivaled an intermediate deity. Yet Meng Lei had actually blasted its head apart with a stomp of his foot. Just how vast was the gap in strength between the two?

"He's taken out an intermediate deity-level Dark Demonic Dragon in an instant! That human has become stronger again!"

"As expected, he's hiding a huge secret on himself!"

The Beast God and the Titan Spiritual God exchanged a look in the faraway distance, both seeing hints of graveness, alarm, and horror in each other's eyes.

Meng Lei's emergence was simply too quick. It definitely didn't exceed ten years, even at the longest estimation.

Ten years!

He had grown from a weak and lowly human brat into an existence that could instantly kill a Demon God. Just how terrifying was his cultivation speed?

It would undoubtedly be very hard for one to find another monstrous genius like Meng Lei even in the vast Void!

Too fast!

It was really too fast!

"A huge secret! That human must be hiding some kind of huge, astounding secret on himself!"

The Titan Spiritual God clenched his fists. "That damned Helibos! How dare he keep something like that from us!"

"He indeed deserves death!"

The Beast God's countenance was even more awful-looking. He said, "Had I known, I would have captured him at all costs when he came to me back then. It's just a shame that it's too late no matter what I say now."

"Too late? Not necessarily!"

The Titan Spiritual God's eyes flickered as he said, "That group of Demon Gods will have to leave Heaven's Vault Continent at some point after they accomplish what they're here for. Perhaps our chance will come at that point."

A slight shudder went through the Beast God. He looked at the Titan Spiritual God and said, "Kronos, you mean..."

"You and I can join hands to intercept and kill those Demon Gods. Given our strength, nothing will go wrong!" replied the Titan Spiritual God.

Sorely tempted by the idea, the Beast God agreed right away. He said, "Alright! You and I shall share that secret after we succeed. If it's a treasure, we'll split it equally between us!"

"Deal!"

"You lowly worm, how dare you kill Dragon Uno!" Dragon Dos roared furiously as it tried to repress the endless fury and immense hate in its eyes.

Their master had reared Dark Demonic Dragons like them since they were young. Their lives laid not in their own hands but in others', and they could only obey their master's orders and cultivate night and day.

They had already formed deep and close friendships with one another after such a long time together. Now that it had witnessed Meng Lei slaying Dragon Uno, how could Dragon Dos possibly not hate him?

"Die! Die!"

Dragon Dos roared incessantly, its claws smashing downward to smack Meng Lei into a bloody pulp.

"Good job on making it here!"

Meng Lei neither ducked nor dodged. Instead, he reached out both arms and caught the claws smacking toward him in his hands.

Roar!

At the sight, Dragon Dos opened its mouth to spray a wave of immensely destructive dragon breath. Should it succeed in doing so, it would definitely hit Meng Lei right in the face.

"Hmph!"

How could Meng Lei possibly let things go its way? An additional arm grew out of his back and hurled a punch in mid-air, hitting Dragon Dos on its chin. The impact caused its head to lean backward, and the dragon breath ended up spraying out only a hair's breadth away from Meng Lei.

"Die, you worm!"

Meng Lei's third arm gripped Dragon Dos by its throat and tightened around it forcefully. Following a loud snap, Dragon Dos' throat was crushed into bits right away.

Dragon Dos's eyes rolled back into its head, unable to breathe with its throat crushed.

"Die!"

100 vines extended from Meng Lei. They turned into several poisonous snakes that wound around Dragon Dos's enormous body and began to devour it furiously.

Gurgle~

Gurgle~

Pure life force gushed into Meng Lei through the vines and surged into his limbs, his organs, and every nook and cranny of his body...

How could the word "awesome" even cut it?

"This is exactly the feeling I like!"

It was so comfortable that Meng Lei couldn't help but close his eyes as he enjoyed to the fullest the fantastic feeling brought about by the warm current enveloping him.

"I don't believe my divine body can't break through even after I've devoured this much life force! If one isn't enough, then I'll devour two! If two isn't enough, then I'll devour three! I'll devour as many as it takes until my divine body fully metamorphoses!"

Gurgle~

Dragon Dos began to visibly shrivel and dry up from Meng Lei's furious devouring of its life force and turned into a dry carcass in under a minute.

All skin and bones now, it had totally become a skeleton wrapped in dragon skin.

Meng Lei stored away Dragon Dos's carcass with a wave. Then, he turned to the Dragon God. He knew that the Dragon God standing before him at the moment was just a divinity projection and that he hadn't descended in his true body.

"You've actually killed Dragon Uno and Dragon Dos?"

Shock, horror, and disbelief brimmed in the Dragon God's eyes. Both Dragon Uno and Dragon Dos were stronger than his true form!

Yet Meng Lei had actually taken them out in an instant. Had Meng Lei already grown and strengthened to such an extent?

"Don't worry. You'll also die!"

Meng Lei said calmly, "I'll go to you when I've gotten rid of these Dark Demonic Dragons that you brought. After all, even though you're as weak as an ant, you're more irritating than a fly or a mosquito!"

"How arrogant!"

A cold and aloof voice rang out beside his ear at this point—it turned out that the black-robed middle-aged man and the 48 Dark Demonic Dragons had reached him at some point in time.

"Welcome to Heaven's Vault Continent!"

Meng Lei held his hands behind his back as he said, "Not only have you come, but you've even brought so many delectable desserts with you. For showing me such profound friendship, I am much obliged!"

The black-robed middle-aged man had an aloof and emotionless expression on his face as he said, "Be smug all you want, native. You won't be able to cry even if you want to in a while! Men, take him out!"

"Yes, Master!"

The 48 Dark Demonic Dragons chorused affirmatively and turned into multiple black streaks of light that rushed toward Meng Lei.

Although their bodies were huge, Meng Lei was also 1,000,000-feet-tall at the moment, so he, as a target, was more than large enough for them.

"Since all of you are so passionate, then I won't stand on ceremony with you anymore!" Meng Lei laughed into the heavens, and then his fists went flying out like cannons.

Crack!

The Dark Demonic Dragon leading the charge had its head blasted apart right away and immediately perished!

The first one had died!

Meng Lei reached out right on the heels of it, grabbed another Dark Demonic Dragon, and tore at it forcefully. Right away, it was torn apart into two with a loud rip. Large droplets of blood splashed into the surroundings, and then the screaming Dark Demonic Dragon was sent into the Tower of Time.

The second one had also died!

Meng Lei leaped into the air, his right leg turning into a steel whip that struck the third Dark Demonic Dragon squarely in its abdomen. As a dull bam rang out, the Dark Demonic Dragon's abdomen was instantly blasted apart, and all its guts exploded into the surroundings.

"Ugh!"

Blood spurted from the Dark Demonic Dragon's mouth, and it instantly turned listless and dispirited. Meng Lei also sent it into the Tower of Time along the way and stored it there.

The third one had also died!

"Damn it!"

"Bastard!"

"How hateful!"

At the sight of Meng Lei killing three of their companions in the blink of an eye, the remaining Dark Demonic Dragons were alarmed, furious, yet also fearful!

"Attack!"

"Attack, everyone!"

"Don't give him the chance to take us out one by one!"

"Kill!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The remaining 45 Dark Demonic Dragons instantly spread apart and formed a circle that surrounded Meng Lei on all sides. Then, they launched attacks from all 45 directions.

"Ganging up on me? What I fear the least is people ganging up on me!"

Meng Lei laughed loudly into the sky. The muscles under his skin wriggled and moved for a while, and then several python-like arms grew from his body.

Not one more and not one fewer, they made up exactly 100 arms!

Chapter 313: Rampage, Forming An Alliance

"Hundred-Armed Giant!"

"He's a Hundred-Armed Giant!"

At the sight of Meng Lei's appearance, everyone was shocked, be it the 45 Dark Demonic Dragons or the black-robed middle-aged man.

As a mutated species of the Titans, its colossal strength and incredible combat power were not to be taken lightly!

"Come here one by one. No one's leaving!"

Meng Lei's Hundred-Armed Giant form affected his mind with the bloodline's influence, as his bloodthirsty eyes meant that he had become extremely violent.

"Charge together! So what if he's a Hundred-Armed Giant? He's still just a Sky Titan!"

After a brief shock, the 45 Dark Demonic Dragons swarmed toward Meng Lei once again.

As killing machines nurtured by their master, there was no fear or retreat in their beliefs.

As long as their master did not call for a stop, they would never cease till they had shredded their enemy into pieces.

"Kill!"

Meng Lei did not dodge and avoid them as a hundred arms struck at the same time to meet the 45 Dark Demonic Dragons.

Boom!

Both sides collided fiercely.

Judging by their vigor, the 45 Dark Demonic Dragons were obviously superior. They were all Demon Gods that were 100,000-feet-long, and they had the numerical advantage.

They surrounded Meng Lei, and it seemed as if a bunch of adults was ganging up on a little student—they seemed to be on a completely different level.

Unfortunately, after they collided, the battle turned out to be very different.

Meng Lei fought 45 dragons alone and completely dominated them, either smashing or grabbing...

Blasting a dragon's head with a punch!

Snapped another's neck!

Ripped one into halves!

What was a beating? This was!

What was a massacre? This was!

What was a gang-up? This was!

Meng Lei was beating up, massacring, and ganging up on 45 Dark Demonic Dragons!

Roar!

Roar!

Roar!

For a while, the Dark Demonic Dragons were crashing down from the sky like dumplings dropping into the pot.

The unlucky ones shattered their skulls and died instantly, while the lucky ones had their wings pulled apart and heavily injured.

Dragon blood sprayed across the place and bloodied the air. Only Meng Lei was left in mid-air, with blood all over his body as if he was a Devil of Death that crawled out of hell.

"Collect!"

Whoosh!

Meng Lei waved his arms, and every dead Dark Demonic Dragon disappeared from the skies, returning rays of sunshine to the once covered sky.

After Meng Lei kept the carcasses, there were only ten injured Dark Demonic Dragons that remained in the sky, and they started to fly away in fear.

"Devil!"

"He's a devil!"

These ten Dark Demonic Dragons were frightened so badly that their insides nearly ruptured from fear, losing any fighting spirit that was left.

"Flee? Do you really think you can flee from me?"

Meng Lei licked the fresh blood at the corner of his lips and teleported before a Dark Demonic Dragon. Dozens of vines crept out and devoured this dragon's body completely.

"Noooo!"

This Dark Demonic Dragon was scared out of its wits and struggled madly, but it could not flee from these vines at all.

The dragon's body dried up quickly as it could not escape the fate of being consumed into a bag of bones.

Puff!

Having felt his surging vitality, Meng Lei let out a long breath and looked at the next Dark Demonic Dragon. "Not enough! Again!"

"Don't... Don't come here!"

Upon sensing Meng Lei's gaze, this Dark Demonic Dragon backed away in immense fear. However, in this existential plane, how could it ever escape?

Meng Lei teleported again to feast once more. After half a minute, there was another dried corpse!

Whoosh!

Meng Lei began madly absorbing, and the Dark Demonic Dragons turned into dried corpses one by one, all reduced into bags of bones.

"That was nice!"

Meng Lei let out a long breath of relief as his entire body was filled with warm currents of endless, surging power. It was an incredible feeling.

It was just a shame that his divine body still showed no sign of evolving, even after absorbing from so many Dark Demonic Dragons. He still could not break through the final shackles of becoming a higher deity.

Meng Lei was in no rush. Since there were still over 30 Dark Demonic Dragon carcasses, he believed that quantitative change might cause a qualitative change once he devoured all of them.

At that moment, the dark skies returned and became bright again. The people fixed their eyes on the proud figure hovering in the sky.

"Victory!"

"Meng Lei was victorious!"

"O supreme Great God Meng Lei, praise be to you. You've defeated those evil Colossal Dragons..."

Imperial City's citizens were jubilant and excited as they chanted Meng Lei's name. Their loyalty was as solid as ever.

Even those that did not espouse his religion started to worship him at this instance.

On another side, Thaniel, Sacas, the Spider Goddess, and the rest breathed a long sigh of relief and smiled. "Master is indeed the strongest one!"

"In this existential plane, Master is just invincible, and no one can match him at all!"

"Too powerful! That's really too powerful! Battling 48 Dark Demonic Dragons alone and killing all of them? The word powerful just wasn't enough to describe this!"

"To be able to follow such a great Master is the greatest honor of our lives!"

"Yes! A great honor..."

Even the once defiant Spider Goddess submitted to Meng Lei wholeheartedly at this moment. She had no other ideas or dissatisfaction under Meng Lei anymore, even starting to be in awe and appreciation.

In the sky far away, both the Beast God and the Titan Spiritual God were speechless and could not recover from their shock.

After a long pause, the Beast God broke the silence. "Kronos, if it were you, would you be able to kill these Demon Gods in such a short time?"

The Titan Spiritual God opened his mouth but only spoke after a while. "Though I don't want to admit it, I have to say that I can't do so in such a manner!"

The Beast God nodded slightly. Although the Titan Spiritual God was indeed a pinnacle-level intermediate deity with colossal strength and supreme combat power, it was difficult for two fists to beat four hands.

"When facing the besiegement of 50 Dark Demonic Dragons, I could defeat them, but not in such a short time! I really don't know how he managed to cultivate to such a level!"

The Titan Spiritual God clenched his fists tightly. To witness an ant in his eyes surpass him was the worst possible feeling.

The Beast God sighed and mentioned suddenly, "Kronos, since it's come to this, we'll need to form an alliance!"

"Form an alliance?" The Titan Spiritual God was a little startled. "Haylem, what do you mean?"

"Kronos, have you forgotten? Our domains are not too far from Heaven's Vault Continent. Do you think that given this little fellow's character, he'll let us off?"

"He dares?"

The Titan Spiritual God scoffed coldly. "If he dares to think about it, I won't let him off!"

"Look, Kronos now is not the time to be influenced by sentiments!"

The Beast God shook his head. "Although I don't want to boost others' morale, I have a feeling that he will step into a higher deity level before us. By then, we'll be in trouble!"

The Titan Spiritual God's countenance changed drastically.

Meng Lei, becoming a higher deity!?

Chapter 314: Higher Deity, Unbeatable

Deities were all greedy, especially when it came to matters concerning power of faith.

It was no exaggeration to say that as long as they were capable of doing so, any deity would do their utmost best to seize all the power of faith they could seize.

Nobody would dislike having more power of faith!

Take the Titan Spiritual God, for example.

Back then, after he had left Heaven's Vault Continent, he had done all he could to expand his territory and occupy more material planes.

Even after he had received over 100 existential planes as power of faith domains later on, he had still continued to expand his territory. He hadn't become content with the amount of power of faith he already had.

In fact, the Titan Spiritual God would even kill the Beast God and seize his power of faith domains without any hesitation if he was strong enough to.

Thus, the Titan Spiritual God had instantly felt a sense of crisis when the Beast God told him that it was extremely likely that Meng Lei would become a higher deity before he did.

If he were Meng Lei...

He would definitely attack the Beast God and himself without any hesitation, take over their power of faith domains, and occupy all the existential planes that he could occupy.

"Damn it!"

After he understood all these, the Titan Spiritual God couldn't help but curse under his breath. He felt utterly frustrated.

"Kronos, you should face reality."

The Beast God sighed and said, "We have to form an alliance so that we can respond to the crisis that will highly likely happen in the future. Of course, you're the Theodore clan's target of priority grooming, so you can also request for aid from them during moments of danger."

"Request for aid?"

The Titan Spiritual God gnashed his teeth as he said, "If mere human trash can push me into a corner so badly that I have to request for aid from the clan, then I'd rather die!"

"Kronos, you're too prideful!"

At the other side...

Meng Lei turned to the black-robed middle-aged man after he defeated the Dark Demonic Dragons. He said, "Actually, you could've launched a sneak attack on me when I was fighting them just now."

"A sneak attack?"

The black-robed middle-aged man dusted off the imaginary dust on his robe and said, "Do you think I need to resort to sneak attacks when it's you that I'm up against? You think too highly of yourself."

"Is that so?"

Meng Lei narrowed his eyes slightly.

"You should know why I'm here."

The black-robed middle-aged man said aloofly, "Hand over that thing and offer up your divine spirit origin energy, and I'll show you some mercy and spare your life."

"I've always been the one saying that in the past. Little did I expect there would come a day when someone else says it to me instead. It's really like what they say, 'What goes around comes around'."

Meng Lei shook his head and chuckled lightly. Then, he said, "I'm returning those very same lines to you instead, though. Get onto your knees, beg for mercy, and offer up your divine spirit origin energy, and I'll spare your life!"

"You worm, you're courting death!"

The black-robed middle-aged man's eyes turned cold. Then he raised his right arm and flicked his fingers. A strong gust of wind shot from his fingers with a whoosh and instantly struck Meng Lei on the chest.

"Ugh!"

As though it were piercing through weak, fragile tofu, it actually pierced through Meng Lei's terrifyingly and incredibly tough and sturdy divine body that could withstand the Dark Demonic Dragons' chaotic bombardment of attacks. It made a pitch-dark and bloody hole in him in a split second.

Divine blood flowed out of the wound as severe pain assaulted his nerves. Immense shock came over Meng Lei as he gazed at the bloody hole in his chest.

What a fast and sharp attack! I actually couldn't react at all!

"Meng Lei, he's a higher deity!"

Dodola gave him a timely warning.

"A higher deity!"

"He's actually a higher deity!"

In the sky, a great distance away, a huge jolt went through the Beast God and the Titan Spiritual God at the same time. Looks of incredulity also surfaced in their eyes almost simultaneously.

"That guy is actually a higher deity!"

The Beast God murmured to himself, "I should have thought of that a long time ago. How can an intermediate deity possibly subdue that many Demon God-level subordinates?"

"Just what kind of huge secret is that kid carrying on him? He's alarmed even a higher deity?"

The Titan Spiritual God found this inconceivable.

"Who knows? In any case, that secret has nothing to do with us anymore."

The Beast God let out a faint sigh and added, "That kid's doomed for sure, and the secret on him will also be taken from him.

"Here's hoping that that higher deity will leave after he's gotten his hands on the secret. Otherwise, we'll be in danger."

The Titan Spiritual God nodded slightly.

"Master!"

"Master has been wounded!"

"To think the opponent is actually so strong!"

At the sight of the other party inflicting an injury on Meng Lei with just a single move, blood drained from Sacas, Puhaman, and the others' faces. Worry and concern filled their eyes.

"I had guessed that you're a higher deity, but it didn't occur to me that a higher deity would actually possess such fearsome abilities. This is truly hard to imagine!"

Despite suffering an injury on the chest, Meng Lei didn't show any fear. Instead, there was even a hint of marvel on his countenance as he remarked, "You surprisingly didn't disappoint!"

"Worm, I'll give you a chance."

The black-robed middle-aged man ordered with an aloof expression on his countenance, "Hand over that thing, and I'll spare your life!"

"You can say that later instead!"

Meng Lei resumed his human form and said, "The only thing on my mind is having a proper battle with you right now. Come on, show me what a higher deity is capable of!"

"You're courting death!"

The black-robed middle-aged man's countenance turned cold, and another strong gust of wind shot toward Meng Lei. However, Meng Lei vanished from where he was without waiting for the gust of wind to hit him this time.

By the time he reappeared, he had already shown up bizarrely behind the black-robed middle-aged man. The Grim Reaper Scythe appeared out of nowhere and swung right at his head.

"It's useless!"

The black-robed middle-aged man shook his head lightly. As though he had eyes at the back of his head, his head tilted slightly to the side and easily dodged the incredibly sharp Grim Reaper Scythe. Then, he raised his right fist and smashed it behind him, striking Meng Lei right on his chest.

"Ugh!"

A wave of great force assaulted Meng Lei. He felt as if a heavy hammer had hit him on the chest. Intense, severe pain came over him, and he coughed up blood right away.

"Nice one!"

Meng Lei teleported and appeared some distance away. There was blood at the corners of his lips. He said, "Higher deities are indeed powerful and mighty. Looks like normal physical attacks really can't do anything to you at all."

"Stop your futile and useless struggling." The black-robed middle-aged man said aloofly, "The more you struggle, the more despair you'll only feel."

"Is that so?"

Meng Lei teleported behind him again. Two bursts of black flames suddenly shot out of his eyes and struck the black-robed middle-aged man.

Boom!

The black flames immediately started to blaze away upon landing and appeared to be spreading.

The black-robed middle-aged man's expression changed slightly. Black fog rose from his hand. Then, he actually flung away the black flames on him with a casual swipe.

"Netherworld Divine Fire!" The black-robed middle-aged man's eyes bore into Meng Lei. "You're a descendant of the Divine Netherworld Phoenixes?"

Meng Lei didn't answer him. Instead, he was looking at the Netherworld Divine Fire that had been flung aside. He said, "Even the Netherworld Divine Fire is ineffective on you. Looks like I'm really out of options."

"Stop the meaningless struggles."

The black-robed middle-aged man said coldly, "I don't care whether you're part of the Grim Reapers or a Divine Netherworld Phoenix descendant. Hand over that thing. Otherwise—"

"I had originally intended to kill you and devour your life force so that I can break through to the higher deity stage, but it evidently looks like I can't do that anymore."

Meng Lei sighed. "Now that things have come to such a pass, I've been forced to use my ultimate skill. System, how much does it cost to plunder his life force?"

"Ding! The target is a higher deity and possesses extremely strong combat power. Plundering his life force requires 6,000,000 Divinity Crystals," replied the system coldly.

"What about plundering his divine core?"

"8,000,000 Divinity Crystals."

"Fine, I won't plunder. Use Super Enhancement to enhance my divine body instead!"

Whoosh!

Chapter 315: Endless Regret, Breakthrough to Higher Deity

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

"He's too powerful!"

"Where exactly did that guy come from? Why is he so strong?"

"What should we do now?"

Puhaman, Thaniel, Galen, and the others' hearts were heavy as they watched the battle taking place in the sky. In fact, despair was even starting to come over them.

Not only did the other party move at lightning-quick speed, but he even had incredible reflexes. Even their master's specialty move, the Netherworld Divine Fire, had no effect on him. How was Meng Lei supposed to fight him?

"A higher deity! He must be a higher deity! Only higher deities can play Master like a fool!"

"A higher deity?!"

A huge jolt went through all of them.

Higher deities were existences that stood at the pinnacle of the deities. They were undoubtedly extremely powerful even in the vast Void, let alone in a low-end existential plane like Heaven's Vault Continent.

A higher deity descending upon Heaven's Vault Continent was just like special forces soldiers descending upon a nursery school. It was no different from a tiger going into a herd of sheep—practically a disaster!

"Everyone, we cannot just sit around and wait for death to befall us!"

Puhaman sounded grave as he said, "Once something untoward happens to Master, none of us will survive, either!"

His words instilled a sense of fearful anxiety in everyone. They rose into the air, intending to attack and assist Meng Lei, but a sudden turn of events unexpectedly took place at this point.

Boom!

As though a hydrogen bomb was going off, an incredibly violent and raging aura suddenly erupted from Meng Lei. It instantly engulfed the area and swept through the surroundings.

"That's..."

Everyone turned to Meng Lei with expressions of shock and astonishment.

Boom, boom, boom!

As though he had been injected with steroids, the aura around Meng Lei rose and intensified sharply and furiously. Within the span of a few breaths, it had reached an incredibly fearsome state.

Vast, majestic divine power spread from Meng Lei into the surroundings, forming all-reaching energy waves that brazenly swept across all directions with a crushing momentum.

"M-Master has... has broken through again?"

"L-looks like it!"

"How long has it only been since the last time Master had broken through?"

There was a very exciting range of expressions on Puhaman and the others' faces. Shock, horror, elation, astoundment, agitation, disbelief... Various complex emotions welled up within them.

"He's actually made a breakthrough in the midst of battle?"

The Beast God and the Titan Spiritual God exchanged a look, both seeing the alarm and horror in each other's eyes.

Despite having guessed that Meng Lei might break through to become a higher deity before they would, never would they have ever expected him to break through right away!

Just how goddamn *beep* was that?

"A monster! That guy is a total monster!"

The Titan Spiritual God exclaimed, "How long has it only been since he had deified? Yet he's already breaking through into a higher deity?"

"He's no monster! The huge secret on him is the true monster instead!"

The Beast God was terribly filled with regret. He said, "Had we known of the secret on him earlier, we would be the ones becoming higher deities now and not him!"

A look of frustration and indignation also surfaced on the Titan Spiritual God's countenance. Indeed, if they had known about the secret on Meng Lei just a bit earlier and killed him when he was still weak and powerless, how would things have come to such a pass?

"O great Titan Chief God, what exactly have I missed out on?"

"A h-higher deity! He's actually broken through to become a higher deity!"

The Dragon God also looked shocked and horrified. Before he had descended upon Heaven's Vault Continent, he had fantasized and dreamed about various ways to kill Meng Lei, avenge himself, and erase all the humiliation he had suffered in the past.

But no matter how he fantasized, he had never once imagined the scenario currently taking place in front of him—Meng Lei had actually broken through in the midst of battle!

Oh my goodness!

A higher deity! That was a supreme stage that he didn't even dare to dream of!

Yet a human whom he saw as weak, powerless, lowly, and cheap had actually broken through to become a higher deity right before his eyes!

How ironic was that?

And how infuriating was that?

"The Tower of Time! He must have used the treasures in the Tower of Time! That's the only way he could've broken through to become a higher deity in such a short time!"

The Dragon God was completely consumed by regret and jealousy. Unlike the Beast God and the Titan Spiritual God, he had once occupied the Tower of Time for a period of time that lasted as long as tens of thousands of years.

Tens of thousands of years!

What a long period of time!

He'd totally had the chance to gain the Tower of Time's acknowledgment and inherit everything that the God of Time had owned!

That way, the one standing here and showing off today would have been him and not Meng Lei!

And yet...

He hadn't gained the Tower of Time's acknowledgment. Instead, he could only watch helplessly as the supreme treasure fell into Meng Lei's hands and watch helplessly again as Meng Lei became a higher deity ahead of him.

Such regret!

Such indignation!

Such fury!

His emotions were far beyond what the Beast God's and the Titan Spiritual God's could compare to.

It was just a shame that there was no cure for regrets in this world and no 'if's to speak of. It was too late to say anything anymore.

"He's actually made a breakthrough in the midst of battle!"

The black-robed middle-aged man was just as startled as the others.

The deification journey was filled with obstacles at every step. From a true god to a lesser deity; from a lesser deity to an intermediate deity; from an intermediate deity to a higher deity—every step required a long amount of time, and every step required vast amounts of accumulation.

It wasn't something that one could break through anytime they wanted.

Breaking through in the midst of battle?

That was something that existed only in fairytales and legends!

Yet a lowly native born in a low-end existential plane had actually broken through to become a higher deity in the midst of battle right under his nose!

This was practically a fantasy story!

The black-robed middle-aged man's eyes flickered as he thought to himself, "The Tower of Time! It must be the Tower of Time!"

The system's Super Enhancement didn't last very long before it ended. A sense of realization welled up in Meng Lei as he took in the changes in his now-entirely different divine body.

"No wonder my divine body simply couldn't break through even though I had devoured so much life essence!

"No wonder I still needed to spend a whole 3 million Divinity Crystals to use Super Enhancement even though my divine body was already infinitely close to becoming a higher deity's!

"No wonder the Netherworld Divine Fire that had never once failed me in the past was useless on him!

"All of this is because the gap between an intermediate deity and a higher deity... is simply too great!"

Meng Lei let out a long sigh. An intermediate deity was ultimately still just an intermediate deity. Even if they were at the limits of intermediate deity-level, they were still no higher deity.

"Be it power, speed, endurance, agility, or defense, they are really as different as night and day. There's no way of comparing them in the same vein at all!"

To sum it up—the difference was really too vast!

Meng Lei looked at the black-robed middle-aged man and said leisurely, "You've just caused me to suffer a loss of 3 million Divinity Crystals. I'll have to make you fork out that sum of money now!"

"You've actually broken through!"

The black-robed middle-aged man's countenance gradually turned icy. He said, "But do you think you can contend against me just because of that? Let me show you that class stratifications exist even among higher deities!"

Whoosh!

His cold and aloof voice was still echoing in the air, but the black-robed middle-aged man had already disappeared from the sky. An instant later, he had already charged right up to Meng Lei.

His palm struck Meng Lei squarely on the chest with just a casual smack. As though a launched cannon, Meng Lei was sent flying right away.

Whoosh!

The black-robed middle-aged man didn't let Meng Lei off even after successfully landing his attack. He showed up bizarrely behind Meng Lei and punched him right on his back.

Bam!

Meng Lei was sent flying again.

Whoosh!

In the short while that followed, the black-robed middle-aged man attacked continuously. Like a phantom, he appeared and disappeared suddenly, showing up here one moment and there the next.

Meng Lei was completely rendered a punching bag. Fully suppressed by the other party, it seemed like he still had no means of retaliation at all?

Chapter 316: Clash Of The Greats, Abyss Skeletal Dragon

"The higher deity is a whole different realm. Assimilating two types of laws of nature is a higher deity. Assimilating five types of laws of nature is also a higher deity. The gap in between is huge!"

The black-robed middle-aged man attacked while he said coldly. "You've only just broken through and dare to oppose me already? You have no idea of death!"

After another series of attacks, the black-robed middle-aged man finally stopped. "Little fellow, I'm giving you one last chance. Hand over the Tower of Time and submit to me, and I'll let you live!"

Meng Lei retreated to afar and let out a long breath suddenly as he looked at the man.

"Although what I'm about to say is a little hurtful, I got to say that your massage was very relaxing and comfortable. I'm very satisfied!"

The black-robed middle-aged man's face darkened, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. "Kid, you're seeking death!"

"Seeking death?"

Meng Lei smiled as he took a step forward and appeared behind the man, pulling out a hard punch.

Boom!

A berserk power exploded, and the black-robed middle-aged man spat out a mouthful of blood. The impact sent him flying forward, and he almost fell flat on his face.

"Cough, cough!"

The black-robed man steadied himself after stumbling. He wiped the blood on his lips and looked at Meng Lei in disbelief. "You... You..."

"Sir, now that's a true attack!" Meng Lei blew a breath on his fist and continued. "Your attacks... were at most ticklish!"

"Argh!"

The black-robed middle-aged man's face contorted, and his eyes flamed up. "Lowly worm, you have enraged me. I'll tear you into pieces!"

Whoosh!

The cold, imposing voice was still reverberating in the air as the man shot a punch toward Meng Lei.

The punch was so immense and swift that it was clear that it was aiming to smash Meng Lei.

"Finally!"

This time, Meng Lei did not play a sandbag anymore and went to meet him with his fists.

Crackle!

Both fists collided like a thunderstruck along with a clear-sounding crackle. Shockwaves ravaged the area, and the air around them turned into a black hole instantly.

Additionally, as the shockwaves traveled further, the black hole expanded at terrifying speed. In a matter of a few breaths, it had already expanded thousands of miles.

Howl!

Time-space fluxes ravaged inside the black hole. Even lesser deities that got sucked in would be mixed into meat sauce.

Hell befell upon the skies of Heaven's Vault Continent!

However, no one paid attention to the black hole in the sky as everyone fixed their eyes on Meng Lei and the black-robed man as they waited for the result of this clash.

Both of them blasted backward together—Meng Lei only backed off ten meters while the middle-aged man backed off close to a hundred meters.

Ten meters...

A hundred meters...

It was clear who was superior!

"This is impossible!!"

The black-robed middle-aged man was rather hysterical. "You've clearly just broken through. How could your divine body be this strong? That's absolutely illogical!"

He could not believe it—this incarnation was a Demon God.

Demon Gods did not cultivate laws of nature as they only cultivated their demonic bodies, which were much tougher than ordinary higher deities!

Meng Lei was obviously a deity who had just broken through, and yet, Meng Lei's divine body was stronger than his?

What kind of joke was this?

"You've been feeling too good about yourself. Little did you know that you're the most foolish and ignorant one!"

Meng Lei loosened his neck by twisting it, making crackling sounds. "Today, I'll let you witness how terrifying my higher deity divine body is!"

Did Super Enhancement enhance Meng Lei's divine body only?

No!

Of course not!

Look at Meng Lei's stats!

Host: Meng Lei

Race: Human (Primeval Bloodline: Primordial Human 26%, Assimilated Bloodlines: Gods-Slaying RatYouth, Divine Netherworld PhoenixYouth, Hundred-Armed GiantYouth, Ancient Tree of Life23%)

Wealth: 9.1 million Divinity Crystals

Physical Body Constitution: Metal-Origin Divine Body (1%)

Looking at the stats interface, three of Meng Lei's bloodlines improved to different extents.

The Primordial Human Bloodline was awakened from 16% to 26%, up by 10%.

The Gods-Slaying Rat bloodline grew from the Juvenile stage to the Youth stage.

The Ancient Tree of Life bloodline's assimilation was increased from 13% to 23%, up by 10%.

It was no exaggeration to say that this Super Enhancement did not just enhance Meng Lei's divine body but also improved these three bloodlines.

The meaning behind this was massive.

One must know that the Gods-Slaying Rat bloodline might not be much, but the Primordial Human bloodline and the Ancient Tree of Life bloodline were an Ancient God Bloodline!

A solid 10% increase!

"You bastard!"

Having witnessed Meng Lei go from a good-for-nothing to an existence who was more powerful than himself, how could the black-robed man accept it?

"Just die!"

The middle-aged man went insane as he transformed into a 6,000,000-feet-long Colossal Dragon made up of golden skeletons.

Its huge skull, massive wings, humongous body—they were all made up of bones!

Plus, every single bone was golden and inscribed with laws of nature runes. Instead of a creepy vibe, it was filled with a holy and untouchable aura.

On its head, a golden divine fire burned ferociously and gave off a surging divine aura. Including its huge figure, it looked unbeatable.

"Skeletal Dragon!" Meng Lei uttered these two words.

"No! This isn't any ordinary Skeletal Dragon. It's the Abyss Skeletal Dragon!"

Dodola's voice rang. "Meng Lei, the Abyss Skeletal Dragon is pretty powerful. Its bones were incredibly tough and sharp, comparable to high-tier divine weapons! You have to be careful!"

"The Abyss Skeletal Dragon?" Meng Lei nodded. "I understand!"

"Die, you worm!"

As the Abyss Skeletal Dragon roared, its tail made of over a thousand joints of bones whip across the sky, which broke up in the process, reaching Meng Lei instantly.

Smack!

Meng Lei vanished as the skeletal whip only hit his afterimage. Meng Lei teleported above the Abyss Skeletal Dragon's head and stomped his foot on the skull with great force.

Bam!

The Abyss Skeletal Dragon stumbled.

Meng Lei was unforgiving upon gaining momentum. He teleported to the back, grabbing its tail, and tossed the Abyss Skeletal Dragon out with a swing.

"Again!"

Meng Lei garnered power into his right wrist and punched the skull. A cracking sound echoed, and cracks appeared on the Skeletal Dragon's skull.

"It's not that tough after all!"

Meng Lei sneered and disappeared again.

Bam, bam, bam!

A similar scene occurred but with a different main character:

Meng Lei appeared here and there from time to time and dominated the Abyss Skeletal Dragon, turning it into his sandbag.

Roar!

The Abyss Skeletal Dragon repeatedly roared in frustration as he panicked. Meng Lei's fists were much heavier than his own just now, and almost every of Meng Lei's punches could crack his bones which made the Abyss Skeletal Dragon feel that it was on the verge of breaking apart.

Meng Lei ceased his attacks and said calmly. "It seems that this is all there is for a so-called Abyss Skeletal Dragon!"

"Die!"

The Abyss Skeletal Dragon roared angrily as two rows of rib bones left its body. They turned into a torrent of piercing arrows and shot toward Meng Lei.

"Freeze," Meng Lei said calmly.

Whoosh!

The ribs stopped dead in mid-air.

"This is... God's Domain? No, it's the Power of Existential Plane!" The Abyss Skeletal Dragon exclaimed. "You're the master of this existential plane!"

"Bingo!"

Chapter 317: The Haber Colossal Dragon Gods, Making A Killing

"You're actually the master of the existential plane!"

The Abyss Skeletal Dragon had an awful look on his face. He had a rather strong feeling that things seemed to bode ill now. He was also a master of another existential plane himself and thus knew very well just how powerful a master of an existential plane was.

It was no exaggeration to say that "higher deity status" "master of existential plane status" "currently in their own existential plane" = "strong and invincible"!

The words "strong and invincible" were no joke. As long as a pinnacle-level higher deity or a Great Perfection-level deity didn't show up, the master of the existential plane would undoubtedly be an invincible existence.

"Therefore, your fate has been destined from the very moment you stepped into Heaven's Vault Continent." Meng Lei held his hands behind his back and said, "And that is... To offer up your life!"

"So, you want to kill me? Not so easy!" the Abyss Skeletal Dragon roared. It easily shook off the Power of Existential Plane's hold on it with a strong jerk from its body.

As a Great Demon God on par with a higher deity, it was very hard for Power of Existential Plane to imprison him for long. The skill could only trap him for two to three seconds before he would succeed in shaking it off.

"Human deity, I'll remember you!"

The Abyss Skeletal Dragon gave Meng Lei a long, deep gaze. Then, he broke the dimension, created a black hole in the air with a light smack from its claws, and dived into it.

"Thinking of fleeing?"

Meng Lei couldn't help but shake his head. He said, "Coming and going as and when you please... What do you take this place for? Your mistress' residence?"

Meng Lei had only just spoken when he teleported right in front of the black hole. He grabbed the Abyss Skeletal Dragon's tail in one motion and dragged it out of the black hole.

"You bastard!"

The golden divine fire inside the Abyss Skeletal Dragon's skull shook fiercely for a while and gave off furious divine spirit energy fluctuations.

"Human deity, you're going too far!"

"Let's cut the crap!"

Meng Lei let out an icy snort and waved dismissively. He said, "I'll give you a chance. If you hand over your divine spirit origin energy and submit to me, you live. If not... You die!"

Roar!

The Abyss Skeletal Dragon roared, "I'm part of the noble Colossal Dragon Gods. How can I possibly submit to a cheap and lowly inferior native life form like you? Dream on!"

"Go to hell, then!"

Meng Lei couldn't be bothered to say any more. He teleported right in front of the Abyss Skeletal Dragon, concentrated raging power into his right fist, and threw it out.

Crack!

The Abyss Skeletal Dragon wanted to duck, but Power of Existential Plane descended upon him at a timely moment and imprisoned him where he was.

During this momentary freeze in motion, Meng Lei's fist successfully connected with his skull.

Crack!

The golden skull cracked at once. Densely-packed cracks formed, and then it broke apart with a boom—the punch had actually directly blasted it apart.

Without the skull, the Abyss Skeletal Dragon's divine fire lost its vessel and was separated from the gigantic dragon body right away, resulting in the body plummeting straight toward the ground.

Given his 6,000,000-feet-long body, should he crash onto the ground, the destruction the crash would cause would definitely in no way be any less serious than the moon plummeting onto Earth.

"Collect!"

Meng Lei naturally would never allow something like that to happen. He collected and stored the enormous skeletal dragon body into the Tower of Time with a grand wave, thereby preventing a catastrophic disaster from happening.

For a moment, a bunch of golden-color divine fire flames was the only thing left floating in mid-air. It let out a hysterical roar of hatred and fury, "You cheap, lowly native! How dare you destroy my divine incarnation! I'll fight to the death with you!"

"Hah, I welcome you to offer up your head anytime!" Meng Lei scoffed. Then, he tapped the air lightly with his index finger and commanded, "Freeze!"

Power of Existential Plane descended again, and the Abyss Skeletal Dragon's golden divine fire was trapped to the spot at once. Meng Lei easily pulled the golden divine fire over to himself with a casual wave of his arm.

It was evident what happened next.

Meng Lei released his divine spirit's power and turned and twisted the golden divine fire into a jumbled mess amid the Abyss Skeletal Dragon's sad and shrill screams. Then, he started to read its memories.

"Ambrose Haber? An elder from the Haber Colossal Dragon Gods clan in the Thunderbolt Divine Realm?"

As he read his memories, Meng Lei gradually also received information about the black-robed middle-aged man.

As it turned out, the black-robed middle-aged man was an elder from the Thunderbolt Divine Realm's Haber Colossal Dragon Gods clan.

As one of the most powerful godly clans, traces of the Colossal Dragon Gods could be found in billions of existential planes. They had offshoots and descendants in both the supreme Celestial Realm as well as billions of other existential planes.

The Haber Colossal Dragon Gods were the Colossal Dragon Gods' offshoot in the Thunderbolt Divine Realm. In terms of strength, they were no weaker than the Thunderbolt Divine Realm's Theodore clan.

Not only did the Haber Colossal Dragon Gods have a Great Perfection-level deity protecting them, but they even boasted the lofty presence of a Chief God, thereby making them one of the most powerful forces in the Thunderbolt Divine Realm.

As for the black-robed middle-aged man, he was an elder of the Haber Colossal Dragon Gods, and his true body had already assimilated four types of basic laws of nature.

This particular Abyss Skeletal Dragon was just a spare demonic incarnation that he had created so that he could descend upon low-end existential planes with ease and convenience when he needed to handle emergencies.

"To think the Haber Colossal Dragon Gods are actually so strong!"

Meng Lei took a deep breath. He didn't fear the black-robed middle-aged man—in other words, Ambrose—at all. He was just a higher deity that had assimilated four types of basic laws of nature, that was all.

What Meng Lei held reservations about was instead the huge monstrosity that was the Haber Colossal Dragon Gods!

They had a Chief God protecting them!

The two words, "Chief God," were more than enough to instill restraining fear in Meng Lei.

"Looks like I'd better not step into the Thunderbolt Divine Realm before I can contend with a Chief God," murmured Meng Lei softly.

He had offended Ambrose through and through this time, after all.

Of course, what was the most important here was still the Tower of Time. That thing was a treasure that even Chief Gods would covet. It was hard to guarantee that others wouldn't try to seize it from him.

Meng Lei took Ambrose's spatial ring after he was done with reading his memories. Although the skeletal dragon was just his demonic incarnation, he had nevertheless carried quite a fair amount of treasures on him.

The spatial ring had an astonishingly huge capacity, and one couldn't even see to the end with one glance. It was evident that an existential plane fragment had been sealed within it, which was why there was such a huge space inside.

Piled up inside the vast and boundless dimension were innumerable densely-packed treasures.

There were mountains of Laws of Nature Origin Crystals, mountains of elemental crystals, and mountains of god and demon dead bodies.

There were also various highly valuable herbs, magic materials, divine weapons, magic crystals, and so on.

All the treasures gave off strong, surging power of divinity energy waves, and every one of them was a priceless treasure. Meng Lei couldn't stop staring at them right at first glance...

"I've struck gold! I've struck gold this time!" Meng Lei was practically drooling as he said, "System, collect the Divinity Crystals and the Laws of Nature Origin Crystals. Take everything that can be taken!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

His Wealth began to spike madly!

.2 million Divinity Crystals... 9.3 million Divinity Crystals...

10 million Divinity Crystals... 11 million Divinity Crystals...

In under ten seconds, his Wealth had increased by a whole 14.2 million Divinity Crystals and spiked dramatically to a total of 23.3 million Divinity Crystals. Not only had it made up for the previous 3 million Divinity Crystals spent, but he had even gained an additional 9 million Divinity Crystals and more!

He had undoubtedly made a profit!

"Robbery is the best way to gain riches indeed!" Meng Lei was filled with great emotion. Then, he continued to check out the treasures inside the spatial ring.

The space inside the spatial ring had been considerably freed up after he collected the Laws of Nature Origin Crystals and Divinity Crystals.

Meng Lei then transferred and stored the elemental crystals in the spatial ring into the Tower of Time. With that, the spatial ring became even more spacious.

"Next up are the god and demon dead bodies."

Meng Lei picked out dead bodies of intermediate deity-level and above for his own use and gave the true god-level and lesser deity-level ones to the little golden tree.

Yep, I'll take the good ones while you take the dregs. Good for me, good for you, and good for everybody!

What came after were the vast amounts of herbs and magic materials. These things were of no use to Meng Lei, so he naturally gave them all to the little golden tree for its enjoyment instead.

Without the Laws of Nature Origin Crystals, Divinity Crystals, god and demon dead bodies and remains, herbs, and magic materials inside, the space inside the spatial ring became even wider and more spacious.

Meng Lei could also see the contents more clearly now—among the few treasures left, the most dazzling one was undoubtedly a pile of colorful divine cores. There weren't a lot of them, but they nevertheless added up to a considerable quantity of a few tens of thousands.

Chapter 318: Dealing With The Dragon God, Mid-End Existential Planes

"Who would have thought that things would turn out like that!"

The Beast God and the Titan Spiritual God floated in the air a great distance away. Both were sporting exceptionally awful looks on their faces. The scene unfolding before their eyes had completely exceeded their expectations.

Not only had Meng Lei broken through in the midst of battle, but he had even slain the Great Demon God-level Abyss Skeletal Dragon.

Just what kind of combat strength was that?

After a long period of dead silence, the Titan Spiritual God was still the one that chose to break the silence first. He asked, "What should we do now, Haylem?"

Meng Lei's breakthrough had given him a huge sense of crisis. Not only had he offended Meng Lei before, but he even owned territories that amounted to over 100 existential planes!

Would Meng Lei even let him off?

"Now that things have come to such a pass, we have no other choice now." The Beast God sighed and said, "We can only offer him our sincerity and maintain friendly relations with him."

"Maintain friendly relations with him?"

The Titan Spiritual God's facial features twitched, wishing that he could throw a punch at the Beast God and kill him.

Not only have you never freaking offended Meng Lei before, but you also own only a few territories! If you curry a little favor with him, maybe he'll let you off.

But what about me?

Would he let me off?

"Lord Ambrose has actually died!"

The Dragon God was also filled with immense shock and horror. He had fantasized about the operation's various possible outcomes but never had he ever thought that the final outcome would turn out like this.

All 50 Dark Demonic Dragons had died, and even Ambrose, who was a higher deity, had also died!

They had been annihilated!

Just how fierce and desperate had the battle been?

Meng Lei gazed at the Dragon God, who was floating in the sky all alone. He said leisurely with a smile, "O Your Holiness the great Dragon God, you probably never imagined that things would turn out like this before you had descended upon Heaven's Vault Continent with Ambrose and the others, right?"

"L-lord Meng Lei!"

The Dragon God gave him a smile that looked worse than a grimace. He trembled like a leaf and shook in his boots.

"Don't worry. You won't be able to escape even when they're already dead." Meng Lei said dispassionately, "Let's go and have a little tour around your divine nation. I'll send you on your way, too!"

"My d-divine nation?"

The Dragon God shuddered all over. At once, he dispelled his divinity projection and vanished into the air. He had to make his escape and leave as soon as possible!

In the event that Meng Lei successfully locked on to his divine nation's location via his divinity projection, he would be totally finished and would never have the chance to ever make a comeback again.

"Dodola, you should have locked on to the Dragon God's divine nation by now, right?" Meng Lei asked calmly.

"Don't worry!"

Dodola smiled and replied, "The Dragon God's divine nation is in the cluster of floating continents right outside Heaven's Vault Continent. It's very near Heaven's Vault Continent!"

"Wonderful!"

Meng Lei nodded slightly. "Bring me there!"

"Alright!"

Outside Heaven's Vault Continent was the boundless Void. It was a place like outer space. There were no magic elements and no air there. The only things there were turbulent, havoc-wreaking space-time fluxes and meteors with only dead silence around them.

Some of these meteors were bigger than even continents. Hence they were also known as floating continents. There was a densely-packed cluster of them right outside the Heaven's Vault Continent existential plane.

Much like asteroid belts that orbited around the sun, these floating continents also orbited around the Heaven's Vault Continent existential plane. They orbited in a messy and disorderly manner yet did not interfere with one another.

"Most deities would usually choose floating continents like these to build their divine nations on."

Dodola explained, "Not only are these floating continents exceedingly tough and sturdy, but they are also extremely huge, hence making them exceptionally wonderful places to build divine nations on."

Meng Lei nodded slightly. When looking at them from afar, the floating continents looked just like meteors. However, when one went nearer, they would realize that some of them were astonishingly huge and were therefore indeed very suitable to build divine nations on.

"The best place to build divine nations on aren't floating continents, though." A smiling Dodola said, "Make a guess—where's the best place to build a divine nation?"

Meng Lei raised an eyebrow at the question. After a moment of musing, he answered, "Although a divine nation is a deity's base, they are still a world in essence. Rather than paying a huge price to modify a lifeless floating continent, one might as well just directly occupy a material plane instead."

At this point, Meng Lei frowned and added, "The only inadequacy is that material planes are too small. They don't seem to be able to house that many worshipers."

The main purpose of a deity's divine nation was ultimately to house their pious worshipers' souls after their deaths and reconstruct bodies for them so that they could continue to provide power of faith for them. At the end of the day, it ultimately still couldn't get away from the three words "power of faith".

By developing a material plane into a divine nation, one would be able to dispense with an infinite amount of modification work, of course. However, material planes were only that big. They might be sufficient for true gods and lesser deities, but for intermediate deities and especially for higher deities, they were indeed too small. There wasn't enough space.

One must know that higher deities usually owned almost 100 existential planes' worth of power of faith domains. How many worshipers died each day? Over the course of hundreds and thousands of years, how many worshipers would die?

How could a material plane possibly house all of them?

Therefore, material planes were certainly suitable to be used as divine nations, but they were too small!

"Bingo, material planes are indeed ready-made divine nations. You need only to refine the Heart of The Existential Plane, and you'll be in absolute control in your existential plane."

A smiling Dodola said, "There are certainly issues about insufficient space in the case of material planes. Therefore, that makes mid-end existential planes the most perfect places to build divine nations on!"

"Mid-end existential planes?"

Meng Lei was a little taken aback.

"Yes, mid-end existential planes!"

Dodola smiled and explained, "All things are classified into various grades and ranks, and the same goes for existential planes. There are half-planes where laws of nature are flawed and incomplete, low-end material planes where laws of nature are whole, as well as vast, boundless high-end existential planes.

"However, in between low-end material planes and high-end existential planes exist also the mid-end existential planes.

"Mid-end existential planes are inferior to high-end existential planes in terms of the vastness of size, richness of magic elements, and laws of nature' degree of clarity, but are far superior to low-end existential planes.

"And the most important factor," Dodola turned to Meng Lei with a shrewd glint in its eyes, "There are far more mid-end existential planes than high-end ones. In fact, as long as you can afford it, you can even buy mid-end existential planes, as well as their seeds!"

"Y-you can buy them?"

A huge jolt went through Meng Lei.

"Of course! However, they are very hard to find."

Dodola let out a sneaky laugh and said, "My master, the God of Time, managed to buy a mid-end existential plane seed back then and subsequently nurtured it into his divine nation. Its size is easily a million times that of a low-end material plane's!"

"A million times?" Meng Lei couldn't help but gasp. "How big must that be?"

"Very big! Extremely big!"

A smiling Dodola said, "Thus, the value of a mid-end existential plane is priceless. Most typical higher deities can't afford them, even if they were to spend their whole fortune. Mid-end existential plane seeds come slightly cheaper, though, but they still aren't something that the average higher deity can afford, either."

"What a shame! I can't afford one."

Meng Lei couldn't help but sigh. He was just a higher deity born in a native existential plane. In terms of family fortune, he was definitely the poorest among the higher deities!

Buy a mid-end existential plane?

He wouldn't be able to afford it even if they chopped him up and sold him in bits and pieces!

"You don't need to buy one," Dodola gave him a mysterious smile, "Have you forgotten that I have a high-end existential plane seed in my hands?"

Meng Lei rolled his eyes and replied, "Of course I remember that. Didn't you say that I was too weak and not qualified enough to nurture that high-end existential plane?"

"That was then, but this is now."

Dodola smiled at him and said, "Back then, you were just a tiny little Saint Domain. Naturally, you wouldn't qualify. But you're already a higher deity, so the time has come!"

"Do you mean to say that I can nurture that high-end existential plane seed now?"

Meng Lei's eyes lit up like light bulbs. After all, it was said that high-end existential planes could nurture Chief God divine cores!

Chapter 319: World-Breaching Transfer, Spatial Laws of Nature

As the name indicated, high-end existential plane seeds were things that could grow and mature into high-end existential planes.

Once fully nurtured, Meng Lei would gain a high-end existential plane and world similar to high-end existential planes like the ten major Divine Realms, the Demon Realm, the Abyss, and Hell.

Additionally, high-end existential planes were also rumored to produce Chief God divine cores!

A Chief God divine core!

How precious a supreme treasure was that?

It was the only proof that could show that one had become a Chief God!

Without a Chief God divine core, one could forget about becoming a Chief God, no matter how astonishing and talented they were.

Thus, Meng Lei naturally had his heart extremely set on nurturing a high-end existential plane seed.

Meng Lei asked rather eagerly, "Where's the high-end existential plane seed, Dodola?"

Dodola gave him a mysterious smile and flapped its wings at the grasslands beneath its feet. Then, a peach-like object broke through the ground and flew right up to the duo.

The "peach" wasn't very big, and fascinating patterns covered its surface. Just like a normal peach, it was simple and unadorned, with absolutely nothing extraordinary about it.

Meng Lei took it from Dodola and asked excitedly, "So, this is a high-end existential plane seed?"

"Yes, that's right. This is the high-end existential plane seed that the God of Time had obtained using his life in exchange," replied Dodola with a slight nod as a hint of grief and sorrow flashed across its eyes.

"I offer my thanks to the noble God of Time."

Meng Lei sighed. Then, he asked, "Dodola, how do I nurture this thing?"

"All the current existing high-end existential planes had formed naturally. Therefore, no one knows exactly how to go about nurturing this existential plane seed."

Then, Dodola added with a frown, "However, I know the way to nurture a mid-end existential plane seed. You can reference it a little."

Meng Lei hurriedly asked, "How do I nurture it?"

"By using your power of divinity!"

Dodola explained, "Existential plane seeds are in hibernation mode in the beginning. However, they are capable of absorbing power of divinity. Thus, you can use your power of divinity to nurture the seed."

"My power of divinity?"

Meng Lei did as Dodola instructed. He held the existential plane seed in his hands, summoned a power of divinity droplet, and sent it toward the seed.

The existential plane seed was initially like an inanimate object and didn't look much different from an ordinary peach. However, as Meng Lei activated his power of divinity, the seed seemingly also sensed it. A devouring force emanated from its surface and absorbed the power of divinity droplet in Meng Lei's hands.

As though a stone was sinking into the ocean, the absorption of the divinity droplet's power elicited no response from the existential plane seed. In spite of that, Meng Lei was overjoyed. The fact that it had absorbed the power of divinity indicated that the method was indeed effective.

"Again!"

Meng Lei released quite a few power of divinity droplets in succession, which the existential plane seed devoured without fail. However, it still elicited no other response from the seed, and the seed didn't show any changes.

"Again!"

"Again!"

Soon, the 200 Divinity Crystals' worth of power of divinity that Meng Lei usually had stored up were fully depleted. Yet, there were still no changes in the existential plane seed.

"As expected of a high-end existential plane seed. It has an astonishingly huge appetite indeed! This is great!"

Meng Lei took a deep breath. He wasn't that concerned about it. Were it that easy to nurture it, it wouldn't have been a high-end existential plane seed anymore.

"You saw that, right? It's absorbed so much of your power of divinity, yet there's no reaction whatsoever."

Dodola joked, "Now you know how difficult it is to nurture that thing, don't you?"

Meng Lei nodded and replied, "It's certainly very difficult. Looks like I'll have to do my best to earn more money now."

"Earn more money?"

Dodola was confused by his words.

"Because only by earning more money will I gain more power of divinity!"

The duo chatted idly as they traveled. At last, they arrived in front of a floating continent.

Dodola pointed at it and said, "The Dragon God's divine nation is in the internal structure of this continent."

Meng Lei released his divine cognition and let it permeate into the floating continent's internal structure. True enough, he found a divine nation there. At once, Meng Lei brought Dodola with him and teleported inside it.

It was a golden world. Golden skies, golden lands, golden mountain peaks... Even the plants were golden.

"This is the Dragon God's divine nation."

A hint of a smile appeared on Meng Lei's lips as he said, "I'll see where you can escape this time, Dragon God!"

His divine cognition spread into the surroundings and instantly enveloped the whole area, almost ten million miles of where they were. Everything within the range was reflected clearly in Meng Lei's mind.

Innumerable worshipers lived within the divine nation. There were Colossal Dragons, humans, Beast People, as well as a small number of Titans and Fairies.

All of them were people whose souls the Dragon God had led and guided to the divine nation after their deaths. Their bodies were subsequently also reconstructed. They had near-eternal lifespans and could endlessly provide power of faith.

"Eh? The Dragon God is actually not here!"

Meng Lei teleported to somewhere ten million miles away and continued to check the area.

Approximately half an hour later, Meng Lei had looked through the whole divine nation, yet he still didn't find traces of the Dragon God.

"He's escaped!"

Meng Lei had a rather awful look on his face. The Dragon God was weak, so he didn't think much of him. However, the Dragon God had tried to scheme and plot against him by every possible means. This greatly displeased Meng Lei, so he absolutely had to kill the Dragon God, yet he had actually escaped.

"Don't panic. He's likely only just escaped, so he couldn't have gone far." Dodola gave him a confident smile and said, "Let me look for him!"

Then, Dodola closed its eyes and began to try to sense the Dragon God's presence. A brief moment later, it opened its eyes. A hint of a smile appeared at the corners of Dodola's lips, and it said, "Fortunately, he hasn't gone far yet."

Meng Lei quickly asked, "Where is he?"

"I'll bring you over, so don't resist!"

Dodola gave him a smile, and then it released its divine cognition and enveloped Meng Lei within. By the time the duo reappeared, they were already within the vast and boundless Void.

Another floating continent appeared before their eyes.

A puzzled Meng Lei asked, "Where are we?"

"Somewhere a few hundred million miles from the Dragon God's divine nation, I guess." Dodola smiled and said, "The Dragon God whom you're looking for is hiding right within that floating continent."

"A few hundred million miles away?" Meng Lei gasped. "You've actually teleported such a great distance away during the one moment just now?"

"No, this isn't teleportation." Dodola shook its head. "Rather, it's the Great World-Breaching Transfer Technique."

"The Great World-Breaching Transfer Technique?"

Meng Lei was taken aback.

"It's a kind of spatial secret art." Dodola explained, "Only those that have comprehended some spatial laws of nature can practice it. Once it reaches Great Mastery-level, one will become able to go anywhere they want in the whole wide universe."

"Anywhere they want in the whole wide universe? What a fearsome secret art!" Meng Lei was astounded. He urged, "Dodola, you've gotta teach me that!"

"You're interested in learning it? We'll talk about this again when you've comprehended spatial laws of nature instead." Dodola rolled its eyes and said dryly, "Do you think the Great World-Breaching Transfer Technique is something that just anyone can pick up?"

"In that case, that means you've managed to comprehend spatial laws of nature?"

A huge jolt went through Meng Lei. His eyes bore into Dodola as he said, "Spatial laws of nature are one of the five currently known supreme laws of nature.

"I remember you mentioning that one can only comprehend spatial laws of nature if they've fully comprehended the five basic laws of nature—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—and integrated them into one.

"Could it be that you're a Great Perfection expert? And on top of that, you're one that has comprehended spatial laws of nature?"

"I'm not a Great Perfection expert," replied Dodola with a shake of its head.

Meng Lei frowned and said, "The fact that you can cast the Great World-Breaching Transfer Technique shows that you've already comprehended spatial laws of nature. Since that is so, then why aren't you a Great Perfection expert?"

"Meng Lei, you're mistaken."

A smiling Dodola shook its head and replied, "Normally, it is indeed true that only those that have fully comprehended the five basic laws of nature that are metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and integrated them into one would be able to comprehend spatial laws of nature. However, apart from that, there are actually also other methods of achieving it."

"What methods are they?"

A look of puzzlement came over Meng Lei's features.

"Comprehending a spatial laws of nature fragment!"

Chapter 320: 500 Existential Planes, The Down And Out Dragon God

"A spatial laws of nature fragment?"

Meng Lei was slightly taken aback. Did spatial laws of nature fragments exist in this world?

He frequently picked up the ten basic elements' laws of nature fragments and had even picked up quite a few fusion laws of nature fragments before. However, he had never picked up supreme laws of nature fragments—such as spatial laws of nature fragments—before!

So, did supreme laws of nature fragments exist?

"Compared to basic elements' laws of nature fragments, supreme laws of nature fragments are extremely rare. They are rarer than even Chief Gods and Great Perfection-level experts. However, every one of them is a priceless treasure. They are usually in the possession of Great Perfection-level experts and Chief Gods. How can ordinary deities possibly come into contact with them?"

Dodola explained, "In truth, even fusion laws of nature fragments are extremely rare and valuable, let alone supreme laws of nature fragments. Moreover, the more types of laws of nature the fragment has infused, the rarer and more valuable they are."

Dodola turned to Meng Lei and said, "Take the Beast God, for example. If he had a double-elemental laws of nature fragment, wouldn't he have been able to break through to become a higher deity?

"But the reality is that he doesn't.

"Even a great pinnacle-level intermediate deity can't get his hands on a double-elemental fusion laws of nature fragment. From this, you can easily imagine just how rare fusion laws of nature fragments are."

"That is certainly so."

Meng Lei expressed agreement with Dodola's views. This was something that he could sort of tell from the laws of nature fragments that he had picked up in the past.

He frequently picked up basic laws of nature fragments, but double-elemental fusion laws of nature fragments were a lot more uncommon.

There were even fewer triple-elemental fusion laws of nature fragments than that.

At the moment, he had only picked up one quadruple-elemental fusion laws of nature fragment, which was an ice-metal-dark-fire fusion.

As for quintuple-elemental ones, he didn't even have a single one!

The more elements there were infused in the fragment, the rarer they were, indeed.

"Dodola, since your spatial laws of nature comprehension was gained through comprehending a spatial laws of nature fragment, then what happened to that spatial laws of nature fragment after that? Where is it?"

Meng Lei's eyes shone brightly. Laws of nature fragments were just like textbooks of knowledge, and comprehending the laws of nature within them was comparable to learning the knowledge recorded in the textbooks. Laws of nature fragments would continue to exist even after one had comprehended them.

"What are you asking that for?"

Dodola raised an eyebrow.

"Give it to me!" Meng Lei said excitedly, "As long as I can get that spatial laws of nature fragment, I'll have a way to comprehend spatial laws of nature!"

"You're imagining things."

A slight jolt went through Dodola, and it said, "That spatial laws of nature fragment is indeed with me, but as a form of supreme laws of nature, spatial laws of nature are billions and trillions of times more complex and profound than basic laws of nature. It's not something that you can comprehend."

"Say no more and just give it to me." Meng Lei snickered and said, "Of course, if you also have other laws of nature fragments on you—such as quadruple-elemental or quintuple-elemental ones, or even supreme laws of nature fragments—you can also give them all to me!"

"Dream on!"

Dodola had a wary look all over its face as it said, "I don't mind telling you this—there are indeed quite a few laws of nature fragments of various types among the assets that the great God of Time left behind.

"But all of them belong to the God of Time. Before you pass the God of Time's trial, I can't give them to you!"

"Dodola, you're too inflexible."

Meng Lei was rendered rather speechless. He said, "The God of Time has already fallen a long time ago. The so-called trial is also something that you've randomly set up. What sort of meaning does it even hold for me? Don't you try bluffing me!"

Dodola sneered. "By the great God of Time's order, one must pass the relevant trial before they can inherit all his assets. Otherwise, they can forget about even entertaining the thought!"

Meng Lei rolled his eyes and said, "Dodola, why are you so inflexible?"

"My life was bestowed upon me by the great God of Time. I will never defy his orders." Dodola snorted and said, "It still goes back to the same old thing. If you wish to obtain the spatial laws of nature fragment and everything that belonged to the great God of Time, then you must pass the trial first!"

"You're really so..." Meng Lei couldn't be bothered to argue any further. He said, "So, tell me, what other trials are there?"

The first trial was to gain the Dragon God Empire's people's faith within 10,000 years. He had undoubtedly aced that with flying colors.

Dodola's eyes swiveled about round and round. After a moment of contemplation, it said, "You're already a higher deity now. As a powerful higher deity, how can you not own power of faith domains that complement your status?"

"So?"

Meng Lei raised an eyebrow and prompted Dodola further.

"Your second trial is—expand your territory, occupy at least 100 material planes, and make them your, a higher deity's, power of faith domains!" answered a smiling Dodola.

"100 power of faith domains?" Meng Lei frowned slightly. "Where am I supposed to find and occupy that many existential planes?"

"It's very simple!"

Dodola snickered and said, "Within an approximate range of 100 lightyears around Heaven's Vault Continent exists many material planes that numbers definitely no fewer than 500. Among them are also the Beast God's and the Titan Spiritual God's power of faith domains."

"Lightyears?"

Meng Lei was surprised. Did the concept of lightyears also exist in this world?

"Lightyears are a unit of distance. It refers to the distance that light travels in a straight line in one year in the Void and measures about one trillion kilometers."

Dodola explained, "The Void is endless and boundless, so the units of measurement for length in Heaven's Vault Continent evidently won't be suitable for use when it comes to the Void."

"Fair enough!"

Meng Lei nodded. Then, he asked, "Do you mean to say that there are another 500-odd material planes within 100 lightyears of Heaven's Vault Continent?"

"Yes, that's right. 100 lightyears covers an extremely vast area and is enough to contain too many material planes. 500 existential planes are already considered very few and sparsely distributed."

Dodola nodded slightly and added, "Additionally, almost all of those material planes are controlled by true gods, with the Beast God and the Titan Spiritual God being two among them.

"As the saying goes, 'If one doesn't take what the heavens bestow upon them, misfortune brought about by it would instead befall them'!"

The corners of Meng Lei's lips quirked upward and formed a smile. He said, "Since I've already become a higher deity, then it naturally follows that those material planes should also become my power of faith domains."

"Work hard, then!" A smiling Dodola said, "As a higher deity, it doesn't make sense if you don't have enough power of faith domains to match your status.

"We'll talk about this again later. For now, let's deal with the stinky bug that is the Dragon God!"

Meng Lei turned to the floating continent in front of him.

"Ambrose is really a piece of trash!

"He's a great higher deity, yet a cheap b*stard that's only just broken through killed him!

"Trash! They are all trash!"

Someone had excavated a fairly wide and spacious cave in the deepest depths of the floating continent.

Embedded in the walls all around were all sorts of gleaming and glittering jewels and crystals. They decorated the whole cave and made it a fine and glorious sight. It looked beautiful and dazzling.

A shiny gold rug was laid out on the ground. A muscular middle-aged man sat limply on it and drowned his sorrows in alcohol while grumbling aloud.

That man was exactly the Dragon God himself.

"It's finished! All finished! My divine nation and all my years of savings. They are all gone!"

The Dragon God downed a jar of wine, his eyes brimming with grief, sorrow, and indignation.

After Meng Lei had killed Ambrose, upon seeing that things had soured, he had immediately taken all the savings that he could hold on himself and fled from his divine nation. He had abandoned even his divine nation and the innumerable worshipers inside.

A divine nation and worshipers were undoubtedly extremely crucial to a deity. Without them, not only were all his years of work in managing them gone with the wind but he, as a deity, had also lost his roots.

If not driven to the most desperate of circumstances, who would resort to something like that?

"That cheap b*stard, it's all his fault!"

The hysterical Dragon God's eyes were bloodshot. "When I've tided over this crisis, I'll definitely make you pay a heavy and painful price for that! I must throw you into a situation that's one hundred... No, ten thousand times worse than mine..."

"What a shame. I'm afraid you won't have the opportunity to do that anymore."
