Chapter 380: Supreme God Divine Core, Destruction With A Flick of One's Fingers

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

No one could take the allure of a Chief God divine core in stride. It was normal for father and son to turn against each other or for man and wife to become enemies because of a Chief God divine core. This particular Naga couple was the clearest example of that.

Despite having accompanied each other for so many years and braving through countless hardships and obstacles together, none of it was as important as the Chief God divine core in this instant!

"Alright, you guys. Make way, please!"

Just as the two elderly Nagas were embroiled in a persistent argument, someone finally couldn't stand to watch it anymore. They appeared bizarrely in between the two of them and grabbed the Chief God divine core over to themselves.

The two Naga elders' expressions changed drastically, and they quickly turned to the newcomer. Fire was practically blazing in their eyes, and the looks on their faces were as if they wished they could stuff a bomb into the crotch of the newcomer's trousers.

"You goddamn thief! Give the Chief God divine core back to me!"

The two Naga elders flew into a thundering rage and blatantly dealt the newcomer palm strikes. The wind impact from their palm strikes was so fierce and forceful that it was as if they wanted to smash the newcomer into a bloody pulp before they could fully vent their fury.

"The two of you have already turned on each other just because of this Chief God divine core. This is truly a huge tragedy of life! For your sakes, I shall confiscate this Chief God divine core instead!"

The newcomer was none other than Meng Lei. He teleported a few kilometers away in a flash, and then he started to inspect the Chief God divine core, his eyes gleaming brightly all the while as he did so.

"Its composition and quality hold several similarities to low-end and mid-end existential planes' Hearts of The Existential Plane, but its might is much more powerful than theirs," murmured Meng Lei.

"Of course. Apart from the ten basic laws of nature and ten types of Power of Origin, a high-end existential plane's Heart of The Existential Plane's composition also includes the five supreme laws of nature and their power."

Moro manifested beside Meng Lei and said, "You can try imagining for yourself how mighty the substance formed using 15 types of laws of nature, and 15 types of power must be! It's said that..."

"What?" asked a puzzled Meng Lei.

"It's said that a complete high-end Heart of The Existential Plane is comparable to a Supreme God divine core. Anyone that assimilates a complete high-end Heart of The Existential Plane will possess strength comparable to a Supreme God of The Universe's," replied a smiling Moro.

"A Supreme God of The Universe!"

Meng Lei perked up.

What came after a lesser Chief God, an intermediate Chief God, a higher Chief God, and a Juggernaut was the Supreme God of The Universe. From this, one could imagine just how powerful a Supreme God was!

A complete high-end Heart of The Existential Plane was comparable to a Supreme God divine core? A gleam flashed across Meng Lei's eyes.

"It's just a shame that a complete high-end Heart of The Existential Plane can't exist. Therefore, this also implies that it's impossible for Supreme Gods to exist in the universe." Moro then added with a smile, "I guess this can also be considered a balance in another way."

"Perhaps!"

Meng Lei gave him a smile. Then, he asked, "Moro, do you think this is a lesser Chief God divine core, an intermediate Chief God divine core, or a higher Chief God divine core?"

"No, no, you're mistaken," Moro corrected him and said, "While there's a difference in strength among Chief Gods, there isn't a difference in grades among Chief God divine cores.

"Every Chief God divine core's composition and size are exactly the same. A Chief God's level of strength is instead determined by their degree of comprehension of supreme laws of nature. This is how it works concretely:

"Chief Gods that have only assimilated Chief God divine cores but are completely ignorant of supreme laws of nature are lesser Chief Gods and are the weakest among the lot.

"Chief Gods that have assimilated Chief God divine cores and also comprehended some supreme laws of nature are the slightly stronger intermediate Chief Gods, while those that have great prowess in supreme laws of nature are higher Chief Gods.

"As for Chief Gods that have both assimilated Chief God divine cores and also fully comprehended a type of supreme laws of nature, they are Juggernauts."

"Fine!"

Meng Lei curled his lip disdainfully in response. He had already known since a long time ago that a Chief God's level of strength was related to their degree of comprehension of laws of nature, but what he hadn't expected was that it was actually... completely unrelated to the Chief God divine cores!

All Chief God divine cores were completely identical!

"You've already started to comprehend four types of supreme laws of nature. Although you're just scratching the surface of the subjects, it's at least still something. If you assimilate this Chief God divine core, you'll become an intermediate Chief God right away." Moro licked his lips and said cheerfully, "So, hurry and assimilate it!"

Meng Lei nodded lightly. Then, he asked, "Can someone that hasn't deified yet assimilate a Chief God divine core?"

Upon his question, Moro replied without any hesitation, "Someone that hasn't deified yet wouldn't possess a divine core. Since they don't even have a divine core, then, of course, they can't assimilate a Chief God divine core."

"What a real shame! I can't assimilate this, then," replied Meng Lei regretfully.

"You can't? What do you mean?"

Moro was rather stupefied. A moment later, he finally realized the meaning behind Meng Lei's words and asked, "Y-you can't be saying that you haven't deified yet, right?"

"Yeah!"

Meng Lei nodded lightly.

A stunned Moro stared at Meng Lei in stupefaction as though he were staring at a freak. After a long while, he finally uttered, "Just what kind of freak are you, exactly? To think you haven't deified yet!"

"I am what I am, the fireworks of a different color1!"

Meng Lei gave him a slight smile and kept the Chief God divine core with a flip of his wrist. It was right at this moment that he suddenly assailed by a swift and fierce wind, to which Meng Lei immediately dodged.

He turned over to find out that it was actually the Manro Empress!

"Hand over the Chief God divine core!"

The corners of the Manro Empress' lips were stained with blood. Not only had her fighting spirit and the killing intent in her eyes not weakened, but they had even intensified. She stared coldly at Meng Lei.

"Hand over the Chief God divine core!"

The two Naga elders also charged over to Meng Lei.

"You traitors! I'll deal with the two of you after this!"

The Manro Empress gave the two of them an icy glare before her line of sight returned to Meng Lei once more. This was exactly how strong a Chief God divine core's allure was—it could even compel the Manro Empress to temporarily put aside her grudges.

The two Naga elders were rather embarrassed, but now that things had come to such a pass, they couldn't afford to be bothered about so much anymore. They watched Meng Lei with fierce and savage looks in their eyes, their killing intent so strong that it had almost solidified.

They practically hated Meng Lei with every fiber of their being right now. They had obviously already gotten their hands on the Chief God divine core, yet Meng Lei had snatched it away from them in the end and caused them to get their hopes up for nothing.

This feud between them was simply too great!

"You want the Chief God divine core? Why should I give it to you?"

Meng Lei watched the three of them with great interest.

"The Chief God divine core is ours, the Desert Manro Nagas'! Hand it over at once if you know what's good for you! Otherwise, I'll see that you die in the Great Pompeii Desert and rest forever in this desolate land!" replied the Manro Empress coldly.

"Hah, it's yours just because it appeared in your territory? Although you're making quite the domineering claim, it does seem to make a bit of sense."

Meng Lei said with a smile, "Since that's the case, then let me hereby formally announce that the entire Great Pompeii Desert is my territory from this moment onward. Do you have any objections?"

"What insolence!"

"You're courting death!"

"You bastard!"

The trio flew into a thundering rage the moment they heard what Meng Lei said, and they attacked right away.

"Snake Rules The World!"

A huge, majestic hologram of a large golden snake arose from the Manro Empress as she let out a low roar. Then, its form solidified, and its jaws snapped at Meng Lei.

"Shadow Snakes!"

The Naga old man's right arm extended and transformed into a huge purple python that lunged at Meng Lei.

"Snake Flurry of Destruction!"

The Naga old woman clapped her hands together, upon which innumerable poisonous snakes hurtled out of her sleeves like laser guns and bit viciously at Meng Lei.

"Insignificant tricks!"

Meng Lei slowly raised his right hand and gently tapped the air with his finger. A tricolored chilly current burst forth from his fingertip, instantly spreading into the surroundings and shrouding the whole area within it.

Crack!

The tricolored chilly current appeared plain and unremarkable, but it exhibited incredibly fearsome might the very instant it made contact with the massive golden snake, the huge purple python, and the innumerable poisonous snakes.

The massive golden snake, the huge purple python, and the innumerable poisonous snakes were sealed in ice in a mere instant, turning into several ice sculptures that stood frozen in mid-air, still and motionless.

"What?"

"How can that be?"

The Manro Empress and the two Naga elders' expressions changed dramatically as disbelief filled their eyes. One must know that they were super experts that were infinitely close to becoming Great Perfection deities! Who could withstand their attacks with the three of them joining hands?

Yet Meng Lei had negated their attacks so casually! Just how strong was he?

"To think the three of you actually dare to covet the Chief God divine core with your meager capabilities. Aren't you afraid that you'll end up dying a terrible death and your clan annihilated?"

Chapter 381: The Frost Gods, Authentic Mysterious Ice

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

"You dare put your hands on the Chief God divine core with such meager abilities?"

Meng Lei was not underestimating these three fellows. Even if they didn't encounter him, they had no chance against others too. In fact, they might end up worse.

"Stop blabbering and hand over the Chief God divine core!"

The Manro Empress bellowed, "The Chief God divine core belongs to us!"

So what if he was powerful?

That was a Chief God divine core—the step to a meteoric rise that she would never give up on.

"Hand over the Chief God divine core at once!"

The two Nagas yelled as well.

"Seems like you want to do this the hard way!"

Meng Lei sneered as he appeared before the Manro Empress in a flash.

"So fast!"

The Manro Empress' expression changed quickly, but a sharp, throbbing pain came from her abdomen before she could react. In the very next moment, she flew off backward.

Meng Lei moved about like a ghost as he appeared before the two old Nagas consecutively and kicked them hard, sending them flying out into the distance.

"Peasants who overestimate themselves."

Meng Lei snorted softly and prepared to teleport away. Just then, a shrill sound sliced across the air, and a figure shot in front of Meng Lei.

It had a pair of sharp horns, a long tail, round ears, blood-red eyes, purple-black lips, and pale-white skin.

Meng Lei was startled to see this person—it looked exactly like Frieza from an anime, almost as if it was the actual one.

They look so similar!

Frieza was just a fictional character who could not have appeared here. The one in front of him should be a Frost God deity, a Great Perfection one.

"Where's the Chief God divine core? Where is it?"

Frieza gazed upon Meng Lei and the three Nagas with its blood-red eyes, full of thirst and desire. He was already a Great Perfection deity at the end of his cultivation progress with no chance of progressing further. However, everything would change if he obtained a Chief God divine core. He would be able to make that leap to become a supreme Chief God, standing at the top of the universe. Hence, the Chief God divine core was a great temptation.

"Great Perfection deity!"

The three Nagas looked incredibly awful. They knew that their hopes of getting the Chief God divine core was diminishing quickly with the appearance of the unfathomable expert Meng Lei, and now a Great Perfection deity.

"Look at what you've done, old man!" snarled the Naga old woman. "The Chief God divine core was already in my hands. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have ended up in this state."

"Hmph! You still have the cheeks to blame me?" retorted the Naga old man. "I've given in and tolerated you for my entire life, and in the end, you're treating me like this. I'm absolutely blind to be with you!"

"You—"

The two old Nagas complained about each other, and 'Frieza' was annoyed. He snorted, and a terrifying aura that reached into the heavens and went deep into the earth pressed over.

"Say it! Where's the Chief God divine core?" Frieza said coldly.

"He snatched the Chief God divine core!"

The Manro Empress coughed up a mouthful of blood as she pointed at Meng Lei. Her sparkling eyes were suppressed with rage.

If I can't have it, I won't let you get it either!

"Yes! He indeed snatched the Chief God divine core!" The Naga old man spoke too.

"The Chief God divine core is with you?" Frieza looked at Meng Lei immediately with greed in his eyes. "Quickly! Give it up now!"

"The Chief God divine core is in my hands, but why should I give it to you?" Meng Lei said calmly, "You've got to come up with a valid explanation, right?"

"Explanation? Bwahaha!" Frieza let a peal of boisterous laughter. "Hand over the Chief God divine core, and I'll spare your life! Or else, you'll die a tragic death!"

"Kill me? You might not have the capacities for that!"

Meng Lei scoffed, took a step, and appeared before Frieza. Their eyes met, and Frieza was stunned by Meng Lei's speed.

So fast!

In the next moment, Meng Lei's fists struck his abdomen.

Boom!

Boundless power spread throughout Frieza's body, and he was sent flying with a muffled grunt. A figure flashed behind him like a ghost, and Meng Lei stomped Frieza's head.

Meng Lei sneered and shook his head as he looked at Frieza. "Everyone can talk the talk, but you'll only end up as a miserable joke without enough capabilities!"

Gasp!

The three Nagas were traumatized. They stared at Meng Lei as if he was a monster. That was a Great Perfection deity, yet Meng Lei had completely dominated him.

Who the hell is he? The Manro Empress thought quickly, The only ones who can suppress a Great Perfection deity would be a Chief God. Perhaps he's one of them?

Chief Gods were the existence far above, elusive, and nowhere to be found. Those who could see them were far and few. Yet, they were great beings, and there would always be statues, drawings, and others to know of their appearances.

Hence, many experts had 'seen' Chief Gods. At that moment, however, the Manro Empress could swear that she had never seen a Chief God like Meng Lei.

"Curse you! Curse it all!"

Frieza steadied himself and glared at Meng Lei dead in the eye. His murderous intent was clear—since when had he ever been humiliated like this?

It was utterly unacceptable!

"Die!"

Frieza roared, and a cold purple current burst off, turning into a majestic purple frost dragon that crashed toward Meng Lei.

It was the Frost Gods' Innate Special Ability, Mysterious Ice of The Depths!

There was nothing more to mention about the power of the Mysterious Ice of The Depths. Other than its extremely low temperatures, it could freeze virtually anything, including dimensions.

As expected, the purple frost dragon emanated incredibly low temperatures, which froze and imprisoned everything in its path.

"Damn!"

Upon detecting the purple frost dragon's terrible might, the three Nagas' expressions changed dramatically, and they retreated a distance away. This frost dragon was too terrifying, so they did not want to be embroiled.

"I've finally met the authentic Mysterious Ice of The Depths!" Meng Lei did not dodge. Instead, a smirk dashed across his face. "It's just a pity..."

With that said, Meng Lei pointed his finger and tapped on the frost dragon's nose. The purple frost dragon broke in pieces with a crackle as if it was hammered hard.

"You think that's it? Think again! Freeze!"

Frieza seemed to have expected the outcome. Innumerable broken pieces of ice swarmed Meng Lei and closed in on him swiftly.

Crack, crack, crack...

An icy purple prison was formed, sealing Meng Lei within. Frieza let out an icy snort, and purple currents shot out to reinforce the block of ice.

After quite a while, the icy prison was enhanced, and Frieza breathed a sigh of relief. "Don't think about getting out when you're locked into my Mysterious Ice of The Depths! Now, time to leave this place before anything else!"

As he spoke, he fixed his gaze on the Manro Empress and the two Nagas with vicious intent.

"Damn!"

"He's going to silence us for good!"

The three Nagas were terribly frightened and fled immediately. They had no courage to face a Great Perfection deity since they were simply inferior to him.

"Thinking of fleeing? It's too late!"

Frieza sneered and snapped his fingers. Three purple ice needles shot off, and they pierced through the back of three Nagas' heads, killing them instantly.

Their outraged eyes were widened big and round, filled with resentment and chagrin. They only wanted to snatch the Chief God divine core, so how did they end up losing their lives...

Chapter 382: Death Laws of Nature, Assimilating the Divine Core

Frieza brought Meng Lei away with him.

Shortly after they left, several streaks of light shot to where they had previously been. Every one of them had a strong and forceful aura around them and gave off vast and mighty divine power—they were evidently all high-level higher deities and Great Perfection super experts.

"Three Naga dead bodies!"

"And the aura of residual power of divinity!"

"It's likely the Frost Gods!"

"The Frost Gods have taken the Chief God divine core!"

"Find them! The Chief God divine core has to be..."

The group of experts immediately launched an inch-by-inch search, vowing to find the Chief God divine core no matter what. After all, they would never give up something like a Chief God divine core!

However, what none of them knew was that Frieza hadn't really left. Instead, he had taken Meng Lei with him, hiding dozens of millions of kilometers underground.

"The most dangerous place is usually also the safest place. I'll stay right here and hide within plain sight. Who would be able to find me that way?

"When I've assimilated the Chief God divine core and become a supreme Chief God, everything will be set in stone, and all of you shall prostrate at my feet!"

Frieza brought out the ice cell imprisoning Meng Lei, intending to kill him, but before he could do anything, the ice cell broke on its own.

"How can this be?"

Frieza was stunned.

"What? Are you very surprised?" Meng Lei had a big smile on his face as he said, "Surely you didn't think that you really could trap me? What the heck, someone the likes of you actually thinks he can trap me? What were you thinking?"

"Mysterious Ice of The Depths!"

Frieza snapped back to reality in no time and brazenly launched an attack. However, before he could cast his Mysterious Ice of The Depths, Meng Lei had frozen him to the spot.

Meng Lei was also using Mysterious Ice of The Depths, but the difference lay in the fact that not only was his Mysterious Ice of The Depths tricolored, but it was also a powerful ultimate-grade special ability. Frieza struggled desperately after he was sealed in ice by Mysterious Ice of The Depths, but he couldn't do anything about it at all.

"Why did you capture him, kid?"

Moro appeared out of thin air and stared at Meng Lei in puzzlement. In his opinion, there was no need for Meng Lei to go to the trouble of pretending and allowing Frieza to capture him.

It was too much trouble!

He could easily just kill Frieza instead. After all, the two of them were in two completely different leagues in terms of combat power.

"I naturally have my own motives in doing so," replied Meng Lei with a hint of a smile.

"Your motives? What motives?" asked Moro curiously.

"Because he has the fifth type of supreme laws of nature on him!" Meng Lei could hardly hide the greed in his eyes as he said, "Didn't you sense it? This guy's a real Great Perfection deity. He's already comprehended a sliver of death laws of nature!"

"So what even if that's the case? It's ultimately still just a mere sliver. It isn't enough to cause a qualitative improvement in his combat power, so he's just a notch stronger than most average Great Perfection deities, that's all," scoffed Moro.

Given Moro's perceptiveness, he could naturally tell that Frieza had already assimilated metal, dark, ice, wind, and earth laws of nature and started to comprehend death laws of nature.

But so what even if that was the case?

It wasn't like they could make use of it anyway!

"You'll understand in no time!"

Meng Lei chuckled, and then he gave the order to plunder.

Boom!

A wave of information about death laws of nature instantly gushed into Meng Lei's mind. He hurriedly gathered his thoughts and began to digest it quickly.

A long while later, Meng Lei slowly let out a pent-up breath, and a joyful smile formed at the corners of his eyes.

"Haha! It's complete! I've completed all five types of supreme laws of nature!"

"What are you talking about?"

Moro stared at Meng Lei with a puzzled look on his face.

"How many types of supreme laws of nature are there exactly, Moro?"

Meng Lei threw him a question instead of answering him. He asked, "Aside from the five great supreme laws of nature—time, spatial, life, destruction, and death—are there any other types of supreme laws of nature?"

Although Moro was awfully puzzled as to why Meng Lei would suddenly ask such a question, he nevertheless shook his head and denied the possibility. He answered, "There are only these five types of supreme laws of nature. There isn't any other."

"That's great!" Meng Lei exhaled and said, "This also means that I've already started to comprehend all five types of supreme laws of nature, so what I need to do now is to earn Divinity Crystals, buy credit, and bring them all up to completion!"

"What exactly are you mumbling about, little fellow? Why is it that the more I hear what you're saying, the more confused I am?" asked a somewhat displeased Moro.

"Haha!"

Meng Lei chuckled lightly. Then, a laws of nature chain suddenly formed at his fingertip. It gave off a ghastly white glow like that of a dead man's pale, bloodless complexion.

"D-death laws of nature!"

A huge jolt went through Moro. He rubbed his eyes hard, unable to stop himself from exclaiming, "You... How come you've comprehended death laws of nature?"

Meng Lei pointed at Frieza and replied, "I plundered it from him."

Gasp!

Moro couldn't help but gasp at his response. "You actually have that kind of ability? Could it be that... This was also how you had obtained the other four types of supreme laws of nature that you've previously comprehended?"

"Well, I guess so!"

Meng Lei nodded slightly. Then, he casually killed Frieza, sent his carcass into the Tower of Time, and tossed it to the little golden tree. As for its divine core, he also tossed it into the Tower of Time after he erased its divine spirit.

Ol' Amos, Puhaman, and the others were currently chatting idly in boredom with one another on the Tower of Time's 99th level. They could swear that these few days since their arrival at the Earth Divine Realm were the idlest and most leisure period they had ever spent after becoming Meng Lei's followers. With nothing to do all day, they were utterly bored to tears!

They sorely lacked power of divinity, so they didn't want to stay idle like this. They wanted to get down to work, to spread their faith, to enrich their power of divinity, but unfortunately...

Whoosh!

All of a sudden, a ghastly white divine core suddenly fell from the sky and landed in Ol' Amos' palm.

Just as puzzlement came over everyone, Meng Lei's voice abruptly rang out. He said, "Ol' President, this is a Great Perfection divine core. Why don't you assimilate it?"

"What?"

"A Great Perfection divine core?!"

His words caused a great furor to go through the deities.

Everyone's gazes fell onto the divine core sitting in Ol' Amos' palm at the same time, the look in their eyes one of open hunger. A Great Perfection divine core! That was a Great Perfection divine core!

As long as one assimilated it, they would be able to rise and become a Great Perfection deity in a single leap!

A Great Perfection deity!!

"Mine! This is mine!"

Ol' Amos snapped back to reality and hastily held the divine core close to himself as he watched the others warily, the look on his face as though an old mother hen protecting its chicks.

Snatching it from him?

He wasn't worried about the others snatching it from him, of course. This was purely just instinct. After all, a Great Perfection divine core was simply too precious, so much so that he couldn't help but act with extreme caution.

Everyone quickly urged, "Hurry and assimilate it, Ol' President!"

Although they also desired the Great Perfection divine core, none of them tried to snatch it from Ol' Amos.

That was something that Meng Lei had specifically handed to Ol' Amos. How would they possibly have the guts to snatch it from him? Wasn't that tantamount to committing suicide? It wasn't as if they were tired of living!

"You don't need to envy him, guys. Everyone that deserves one will eventually get one!"

Meng Lei's voice rang out once more and put their hearts at ease once and for all.

Everyone's hearts began to burn with fervency at once. First a lesser deity divine core, then a higher deity divine core—Master had never disappointed them before!

And now, a Great Perfection divine core... He wouldn't disappoint them this time, either, of course. Now that the first one had come, next would be the second, the third...

Everyone was filled with anticipation the moment they thought of that.

Suddenly, a puzzled Fatty Hart asked, "How strong exactly is old bro when he can get his hands on even a Great Perfection divine core?"

"Uh..."

Everyone looked at one another and hazarded a guess.

"Great Perfection-level?"

"That seems a little off! How can Master hunt and kill Great Perfection deities and obtain Great Perfection divine cores if he's only Great Perfection-level himself?"

"That seems to make sense!"

"Could Master be... a Chief God?"

"A... A Chief God?"

"S-surely not?"

Chapter 383: Assembly of The Great Perfection Deities, Divine Core Ownership

"Deep as the oceans, the path of divine core assimilation reaches once begun; from here on out, ascension is all but a stranger"—this saying was no joke.

The moment once one deified by assimilating a divine core, it was basically impossible for them to ever break through their current cultivation stage and ascend to a higher stage by their own efforts. Only by continuing to assimilate even higher-grade divine cores could they become more powerful.

This was exactly the situation that Puhaman and the others were currently in.

They had become lesser deities by assimilating lesser deity divine cores and subsequently became higher deities by assimilating higher deity divine cores. As a result, ascension had become merely an extravagant wish for them now.

If they wished to strengthen themselves further, then their only choice was to assimilate even higher-grade divine cores such as Great Perfection and Chief God divine cores. Only then would they go on to further success and move on to the next level.

For the sake of his subordinates' Great Perfection divine cores and also to earn more Divinity Crystals at the same time, Meng Lei had developed a hunting plan...

Whoosh!

He got right down to work the moment the thought came to him. A crystal glittering with a ten-colored divine radiance suddenly flew out of the underground and reappeared in the sky. Its fearsome divine power and dazzling divine radiance immediately spread into the surroundings the moment it appeared, forming a great weather phenomenon.

"The Chief God divine core!"

"The Chief God divine core has reappeared!"

The sight naturally caught many experts' attention. They had been searching for the Chief God divine core everywhere, so how could the Chief God divine core's sudden reappearance possibly escape their notice?

"The Chief God divine core is over there!"

"Mine! The Chief God divine core is mine!"

"Don't anyone dare fight with me for it!"

Whoosh!

Innumerable experts raced desperately toward the Chief God divine core with everything they got, wishing they had been born with an extra pair of legs in case others got there ahead of them.

If someone were to overlook the area from a high vantage point right now, they would realize that innumerable streaks of light were currently converging from all directions at terrifying speed. The situation was much like innumerable crocodiles swimming toward a zebra that had appeared in the center of a small stream upon detecting the smell of blood.

Soon, hundreds of high-level higher deities arrived within the vicinity of the Chief God divine core. Among them were also numerous super experts that were already infinitely close to becoming Great Perfection deities.

"It's mine!"

The group of super experts became even more fervent at the sight of the Chief God divine core. Their speed spiked dramatically, and they grabbed brazenly at the divine core.

Boom!

A fearsome attack suddenly came from afar and struck them mercilessly.

Several shrill cries rang out as the hundreds of experts were sent flying.

The less severe cases suffered injuries and coughed up blood, while the severe ones were maimed and paralyzed.

One could say that they couldn't get any unluckier than that!

"Hmph! How dare a bunch of weak, lowly ants harbor designs on the Chief God divine core, too! You overestimate yourselves!"

A contemptuous snort rang out, and then someone appeared out of nowhere and came right up to the Chief God divine core.

The man had a pair of horns on his head, a pair of wings on his back, a pair of tails on his bottom, and gave off vast, majestic dragon might.

"Armand Nidhogg!"

Initially, the masses had naturally been furious at being ambushed, but when they saw the person that had appeared out of nowhere, fear and alarm filled them at once, followed by despair.

The newcomer was actually Armand Nidhogg, a Great Perfection deity from the Nidhogg Colossal Dragon Gods!

"How are we supposed to even goddamn fight for the Chief God divine core when even a Great Perfection deity has come!?" shouted someone indignantly.

"A bunch of good-for-nothings!"

Armand Nidhogg cast a contemptuous glance at the masses. Then, he grabbed at the Chief God divine core and declared, "Mine! The Chief God divine core is mine now! Once I assimilate it, I shall becom—"

Boom!

A massive hand that blotted out the sky abruptly appeared right at this moment and grabbed at the Chief God divine core. It moved at an even higher speed and was even nearer in proximity to the divine core.

"How bold of you to actually set your sights on my Chief God divine core!"

Armand Nidhogg flew into a thundering rage at the sight. He opened his mouth and released a wave of silver dragon breath at the massive hand, evidently intending to burn and destroy it.

"Hmph!"

Another cold snort rang out as the massive hand hastily drew back and avoided the silver dragon breath. Then, it grabbed at the Chief God divine core floating in mid-air once more.

This time, before Armand Nidhogg could launch another attack, a dazzling red fireball appeared out of nowhere and shot straight toward the massive hand.

Bam!

Unable to avoid the attack in time, the massive hand clashed against the red fireball. Sparks flew everywhere as an earth-shattering explosion broke out.

Another figure then showed up in mid-air. He had a head of crimson red hair, crimson red brows, and even the robe he wore was crimson red in color. He was just like a ball of flames, ready to burn everything into ashes.

Armand Nidhogg's expression immediately changed at the sight of the newcomer, and he let out a deep roar. "You've actually come as well, Miles!"

The newcomer was Miles Dougherty, a Great Perfection deity from Earth Divine Realm's Dougherty Fire Phoenix Gods!

"Another Great Perfection deity!"

"Oh my god! That's two Great Perfection deities now!"

"Do we even still have any hope of getting the Chief God divine core?"

The experts were filled with even more despair now.

"Why can't I come when you're already here?"

Miles Dougherty looked up, a hint of unconcealable greed and fervency flashing across the depths of his eyes as his gaze swept across the Chief God divine core above him. Then, he let out an icy snort and said, "Chester, aren't you acting beneath your status if you continue to hide in the shadows when you're already here?"

The air shifted slightly, and then a burly, muscular man dressed in golden armor appeared.

The many experts became even more filled with despair at the sight of the newcomer. A Great Perfection deity! Yet another Great Perfection deity!

Chester Dawson, a Great Perfection deity from Earth Divine Real's Dawson Titan Gods!

That was three Great Perfection deities now!

How the hell were they supposed to do this now?

However, subsequent events proved to the many experts there that their imagination was still too lacking, after all, because more and more Great Perfection deities started to arrive as time went by.

A Great Perfection deity from the Angel Gods...

A Great Perfection deity from the Giant Elephant Gods...

A Great Perfection deity from the Nature Gods...

A Great Perfection deity from the Behemoth Gods...

A Great Perfection deity from the Scarab Gods...

The number of Great Perfection deities there had reached a shocking total of eight!

Eight Great Perfection deities! They represented the highest form of combat power apart from Earth Divine Realm's Chief Gods.

Their presence filled the masses of experts that were constantly growing in numbers with fear and trepidation. It also completely robbed them of their courage in coveting the Chief God divine core, turning them into idle onlookers here to watch the show instead.

"That's eight Great Perfection deities over there!"

"To think they've all shown up!"

"This is the allure of a Chief God divine core!"

"We're just missing Great Perfection deities from the Frost Gods and the Eternal Gods now! If they show up, this will become a full assembly of Great Perfection deities from all ten major godly clans!"

The many experts surrounded the area, filling up every corner of the place. They watched the eight figures in the center of the battleground, their eyes filled with astoundment.

Great Perfection deities!

Elusive and mysterious Great Perfection deities!

They could hardly even find one usually, let alone eight?

The experts were watching the eight Great Perfection deities, but the eight deities' gazes were on the Chief God divine core from start to finish—or rather, they kept their attention constantly on the Chief God divine core lest someone snatched it away.

"Everyone, what should we do with this Chief God divine core?"

Jager Raphael, the Great Perfection deity from the Raphael Angel Gods, broke the silence.

"The Chief God divine core is the key to us breaking through our current cultivation stage and moving on to the next level. None of us will leave the matter at that and allow someone else to take it!"

Armand Nidhogg, the Great Perfection deity from the Colossal Dragon Gods, said calmly, "How about this? We'll let our skills speak for themselves after all and use our fists to decide who the Chief God divine core goes to."

"That works."

"I guess that's the only way."

The other Great Perfection deities naturally didn't have any objections. With the Chief God divine core sitting right in front of them, none of them would ever give up. There was bound to be a great fight to the death—this was something undoubted.

"We need to clear out the battleground before the battle, though, lest a third party profits from the situation. Should that happen, we would end up thoroughly embarrassed!"

A hint of killing intent flitted across Armand Nidhogg's eyes as his gaze swept across the experts in the surroundings.

By a stretch, he could somewhat accept the Chief God divine core falling into the seven other Great Perfection deities' hands, but he absolutely would not allow that bunch of lowly ants to reap the benefits instead at the end of their battle.

The seven other Great Perfection deities were also on the same page. They unanimously looked in the direction of the onlooking experts in the distance.

"Damn!"

"They're thinking of killing us!"

"Quickly! Run!"

Chapter 384: Clearing Out The Battleground, Negotiation

The eight Great Perfection deities' conversation frightened the convergence of experts so badly that their insides were close to rupturing. Not daring to tarry, they made a run for it right away, afraid that they would be in deep trouble should they be even a moment too slow.

"Bastards!"

"Those eight goddamn bastards!"

The experts were truly filled with both fear and hatred. They had clearly already stayed a great distance away and had clearly already given up the fight for the Chief God divine core, yet the eight Great Perfection deities still didn't intend to let them off. They were simply too vicious!

But now that things had come to such a pass, grumbling was already no longer of any use. All they could do was flee desperately, escape from this place as fast as they could, and secure their lives.

However, subsequent events proved that fleeing for one's life while being pursued by eight Great Perfection deities was practically a mission on hell-mode.

The eight Great Perfection deities went on the offensive right away. They didn't bother casting highly powerful, trump card-class attacks. Instead, they merely released their God's Domains.

Buzz!

God's Domain spread swiftly into the surroundings, instantly enveloping the whole area within ten million kilometers of where they were and directly trapping the fleeing experts within.

All the experts were trapped where they were, unable to move even a finger. No matter how fiercely they struggled or how hard they tried to launch powerful skills, it was simply futile!

Inside the Great Perfection deities' God's Domains, all of them had become lambs awaiting slaughter. The difference in strength between the two parties was simply too great!

"Spare me, sir!"

"Spare my life, sir!"

"Please let me off..."

The experts constantly begged for mercy. Among them were even people from the Angel Gods, the Colossal Dragon Gods, the Titan Gods, and the other few major godly clans, but... It was of no use.

So what even if they were fellow clansmen?

They were nothing in comparison to a Chief God divine core!

Once they became a Chief God, it wouldn't matter in the slightest, even if the entire clan was wiped out. They could simply just create a whole new clan themselves!

"Die!"

The eight Great Perfection deities didn't hold back at all. A thought flashed past their minds, and all the trapped experts exploded one after another into mists of blood.

Thousands upon thousands of experts perished in an instant!

The most astonishing thing was that every one of those that had managed to make it here was at least a high-level higher deity or an even stronger super expert. It was truly flabbergasting for so many powerful existences to perish in an instant!

"Isn't that too vicious of them? They didn't even spare their own kind!"

Meng Lei, who was hiding in the shadows, was secretly dumbstruck. The eight Great Perfection deities' ruthlessness had astounded him. Their actions were practically perverse to the extreme!

An unconcerned Moro replied, "They are all Great Perfection deities. These are existences that truly stand at the pinnacle of the power pyramid. They act without reservations and are not inhibited by anything. What's the big deal about killing a few fellow clansmen?"

Meng Lei broke into a slight frown and asked, "Won't the Chief God of their clans punish them?"

There were quite a fair number of people from the ten major godly clans among the fatalities. Those were elder-class experts, after all. Wouldn't the Chief Gods be furious that Great Perfection deities from the same clan had killed them just like that?

"Little fellow, a Chief God is a lofty presence high up above. Why would they bother themselves with such trivial matters?" Moro scoffed. "Besides, only the Great Perfection deities can truly catch the Chief Gods' attention. To the Chief Gods, those so-called elders aren't even good enough to be considered lowly ants!"

"Fine!"

Meng Lei shook his head. Then, his divine cognition quietly spread into the surroundings... All the super experts that had just been killed vanished the very next second.

Meng Lei had sent them all into the Tower of Time. That was a total of almost 10,000 super experts, after all. Their lives and assets were undoubtedly a hefty sum of riches. He mustn't let them go to waste just like that.

"Who's there?"

Such a large number of corpses disappearing right under their noses naturally caught the eight Great Perfection deities' attention.

They weren't concerned about the corpses. Rather, what had truly made them wary was the fact that someone had actually collected so many corpses without them even realizing anything. How strong must the intruder be, then?

Would they pose a risk to the Chief God divine core?

The Chief God divine core was the only thing that the eight Great Perfection deities were concerned about!

"Is it Coola? Or Noah? Since you're already here, then stop skulking around!" said Armand Nidhogg, the Great Perfection Colossal Dragon God.

There were only a total of ten Great Perfection deities in the Earth Divine Realm, and it just so happened that each of them was from one of the ten major godly clans. Eight of them were already present, so Noah of the Eternal Gods and Coola of the Frost Gods were the only ones not there yet.

Therefore, Armand's guess was that the newcomer was more likely than not the two of them. It was just a shame that no one responded to him.

"What? Not coming out? Are you still thinking of hiding in the shadows and profiting from the situation as a third party?"

Armand was rather displeased now. He said, "I'll give you one more chance. Get the hell out here now. Otherwise, don't blame us if we team up against you!"

Buzz!

The air trembled lightly, and then someone quietly appeared. The eight Great Perfection deities' electrifying gazes instantly fell onto the newcomer, but what surprised them was that said newcomer was neither Coola nor Noah. Rather, it was a fresh face that they had never once seen before.

"Who are you?" asked Jager Raphael, the Great Perfection Angel God.

He had sixteen pairs of wings of light on his back, and he gave off a gentle and peaceful holy glow all around him.

"Sorry to disturb you, everyone!"

The newcomer was none other than Meng Lei. He said, "I'm just an idle onlooker passing by the area. Go ahead and fight for whatever it is that you need to fight for. You don't need to bother yourselves with me."

"Die!"

Armand didn't bother saying any superfluous nonsense after hearing what Meng Lei said. He dealt a palm strike in mid-air, intending to wipe out Meng Lei straight away.

An idle onlooker?

They didn't need idle onlookers here!

So, he could just go to hell!

"Hah, coming to blows the moment you have a disagreement? What a foul temper you have!" Meng Lei shook his head with a soft chuckle. Then, he casually dealt a palm strike with his right palm and met Armand's attack head-on.

"You're courting death!"

Armand let out an icy snort inwardly at the sight of how Meng Lei had so effortlessly parried his attack. A hint of anger flashed across his eyes. Apart from the lofty Chief Gods high up above, no one in the whole of the Earth Divine Realm had ever dared to look down on him like that before. Meng Lei was the very first!

"Go to hell!"

Armand increased his attack force, determined to smash Meng Lei into a bloody pulp with one palm strike. However, as the two palms struck each other, Armand felt as if he had crashed right into a primordial divine mountain. Intense pain traveled up his arm from his right palm, and then his entire right arm was blasted apart.

"Aahhh!"

Armand let out a shrill scream as he was sent flying right out like a launched cannon. To the seven Great Perfection deities' horror, they saw that all that was left of Armand's right arm now was just ghastly white bones. All flesh and blood on the arm had been completely blasted into a mist of blood!

"How can this be?"

"Who exactly is he?"

"Since when was there an expert like him in the Divine Realm?"

For a moment there, shock and horror filled the seven Great Perfection deities' eyes as they stared at Meng Lei. As a Great Perfection deity of Nidhogg Colossal Dragon Gods, Armand's body was incredibly strong and robust. Yet in comparison to that fellow currently standing in front of them, it seemed like even his body was far too inadequate?

"I'd thought that you were much stronger than that because of how arrogantly you had spoken! You aren't that strong, after all," remarked a fairly unimpressed Meng Lei with a shake of his head.

"W-who exactly are you?"

Alarm and fury came over Armand as he steadied himself, his eyes fixed on Meng Lei.

"An idle onlooker passing by," repeated Meng Lei. Then he said, "So, are you guys fighting or not? If you aren't, then I'm leaving."

What does whether or not you're leaving have anything to do with whether or not we're fighting?

The eight Great Perfection deities couldn't help but diss Meng Lei inwardly. However, none of them answered him. At the sight, Meng Lei shook his head and said, "Since you aren't fighting, then I'm leaving."

Then, he teleported in front of the Chief God divine core, took it, and got ready to leave. This greatly enraged the eight Great Perfection deities, and they roared, " You can leave if you want, but leave the Chief God divine core behind!"

Whoosh!

The eight Great Perfection deities instantly fanned out and surrounded Meng Lei on all sides, preventing him from leaving.

"What's the matter?"

Meng Lei raised an eyebrow.

"Mister, you may leave, but you have to leave the Chief God divine core behind."

Miles Dougherty, the Great Perfection Fire Phoenix God, said icily, "That's ours!"

Chester Dawson, the Great Perfection Titan God, also barked, "Put down the Chief God divine core!"

"Yours?" Meng Lei couldn't help but laugh. He said, "I was clearly the one that placed this thing here as bait. How come it has become yours now? What a joke!"

"You placed it here?"

"As bait?"

"Could it be that—"

The eight Great Perfection deities' expressions changed drastically.

"Forget it. I'll drop the act and negotiate with you instead."

Chapter 385: Full Annihilation, Colossal Dragon Continent/em

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

"Forget it. I'll drop the act and negotiate with you instead."

Meng Lei tossed the Chief God divine core in his hand up and down and said dispassionately, "I'm actually the one that had placed this Chief God Divine core here to attract cash cows like the lot of you."

"Why did you do that?"

The eight Great Perfection deities' expressions changed drastically. An awful sense of foreboding suddenly came over all of them.

"To kill all of you, of course!" Meng Lei broke into a grin and said, "My finances have been rather tight recently, so I can only make you guys the sacrifices now."

"To kill us?"

As if they had just heard the funniest joke in the universe, the eight Great Perfection deities burst into raucous laughter upon hearing Meng Lei's reply.

"Kill us? Who do you think you are? A lofty Chief God high up above?"

"That's right!"

"You have certainly heavily wounded Armand, but so what even if you have? If the eight of us Great Perfection deities team up, we're confident of contending even against a Chief God, let alone someone like you?"

"Kid, hand over the Chief God divine core immediately and leave right away if you know what's good for you. Otherwise, I'll destroy your soul and let you die a terrible death!"

"Haha!"

Meng Lei let out a laugh. Then, he no longer restrained his divine power.

Boom!

Vast and majestic terrifying divine power that reached high into the heavens and deep into the ground erupted from Meng Lei. Like smoke signals rushing into the sky, yet also like great 100,000-feet-tall tidal waves capable of toppling the mountains and overturning the seas, it spread into the surroundings and crashed down on the area, as well as every Great Perfection deity present.

Boom!

As though a 100,000-feet-tall mountain was weighing down on their hearts, the eight Great Perfection deities felt a force unmatched by any other pressing down upon them. Fear and trepidation welled up within them from the pressure, rendering them unable to muster the will to fight.

"What fearsome divine power!"

"That's a Chief God's divine power!"

"He's a Chief God!"

"Oh my god! He's actually a Chief God!"

The eight Great Perfection deities were shocked and horror-stricken by the revelation. As Great Perfection deities, they might be the strongest entities next to Chief Gods, but they simply couldn't compare to Chief Gods at all.

They might claim confidence in teaming up against a Chief God, but that was nothing more than just them flattering themselves.

A Chief God wasn't an entity that they could rival!

"It's time for you to go on your merry way, esteemed Mr. Great Perfections!" Meng Lei slowly raised his right palm and said, "Bon voyage. The gates of Heaven have opened for you!"

Boom!

He had only just spoken when his right palm went smacking downward.

"Spare us!"

"Spare us, Your Holiness!"

"Noooo!"

Meng Lei's palm strike descended from above and instantly engulfed the eight Great Perfection deities, crushing everything in its path before crashing onto the ground in the end.

The mountains and the ground shook intensely, and dust swirled about everywhere as a deafening boom rang out.

By the time Meng Lei retracted his palm, a massive, 100,000-feet-long pit that reached several thousand meters deep had formed on the ground.

All eight Great Perfection deities laid quietly at the bottom of the pit, bathed in blood and with their bones and tendons all broken. They had died on the spot and were all deader than dead.

"Fighting a Chief God when you're just ordinary Great Perfection deities? What were you even thinking?" Meng Lei remarked with a shake of his head.

He then lifted the eight dead bodies with a casual wave of his hand and went through the familiar process of gouging out their divine cores, destroying their divine spirits, and tossing their dead bodies to the little golden tree.

"What a shame that there are only two Great Perfection divine cores out of all eight Great Perfection deities!"

Meng Lei fiddled with the eight divine cores in his hand, feeling somewhat regretful about the situation. "On top of that, one of them is even an ordinary Great Perfection divine core without any ascension potential."

Whether or not a Great Perfection deity could continue to further themselves was determined by the five types of basic laws of nature that they had assimilated.

If these five types of basic laws of nature happened to correspond with any of the five types of basic laws of nature needed to comprehend a type of supreme laws of nature, they would naturally progress further.

If not, it would become impossible for them to ever progress any further in their entire lives and would forever only be a Great Perfection deity.

"Never mind, I'll just keep them for now."

Meng Lei didn't bestow the two Great Perfection divine cores upon his subordinates right away but chose to keep them with him for now. He would distribute them again when he gained more Great Perfection divine cores in the future instead.

"To think eight Great Perfection deities have died just like that!"

Moro sighed emotionally as he remarked, "They've probably never ever thought that they would end up remaining here for all time in such a manner."

"Greed blinds the eye of judgment. Who can they blame other than themselves?"

Meng Lei shook his head and said, "Let's go. We'll empty the Desert Manro Nagas' treasury first and then leave this place after that."

"Do you know how to get there?" asked Moro as he raised an eyebrow.

"Yup!"

Meng Lei started teleporting in the direction of the Nagas' den right away. He had read the Manro Empress' memories, so he naturally knew how to get there.

Half an hour later, Meng Lei arrived at the Desert Manro Nagas' palace area and easily found the treasury after that.

"Transfer!"

Whoosh!

A short while later, he had emptied the entire treasury.

Meng Lei collected everything that the system could collect—such as Laws of Nature Origin Crystals, Divinity Crystals, and so on—and gave the rest to Puhaman and the others.

Wealth: 2,198 trillion Divinity Crystals

He currently had riches totaling 2,198 trillion Divinity Crystals!

This was the total amount of riches that he had gained after his series of actions like ransacking Dragon-Elephant City, killing the eight Great Perfection deities, and emptying the Desert Manro Nagas' treasury. He wasn't far from reaching the 5,000 trillion Divinity Crystals he needed to buy credit for a type of supreme laws of nature now!

"I'll keep up the good work!"

Meng Lei determined the correct direction to go in, and then he started to fly toward the nearest city.

As he flew, he also began to clean up the divine cores and spatial rings he had previously gotten. These were left behind by the deity masses that the eight Great Perfection deities had killed when they were clearing out the area.

Their divine spirits were still in the divine cores, while the spatial rings housed their financial assets.

On top of that, all of them were super experts that were high-level higher deities, even at the weakest. Therefore, he could safely earn a pretty sum no matter what, be it through destroying their divine spirits or ransacking their spatial rings.

"Ding! 1 Eight-Winged Angel killed. 900 million Divinity Crystals gained."

"Ding! 1 Primordial Behemoth King killed. 1.02 billion Divinity Crystals gained."

"Ding! 1 Giant Elephant killed. 910 million Divinity Crystals gained."

"Ding..."

By the time Meng Lei destroyed all the divine spirits in the divine cores, he had already gained an additional 11 trillion Divinity Crystals and gained a small windfall. Then, he began to go through the spatial rings...

Three days later, Meng Lei arrived at the nearest city.

According to the Manro Empress' memories, this particular city was known as the Venus Colossal Dragon City. Located at the Nidhogg Continent periphery, this was a third-rate city that the Nidhogg Colossal Dragon Gods had built.

The Nidhogg Continent?

That's right!

This particular continent currently in front of him was part of the Nidhogg Colossal Dragon Gods' territory. The entire continent was the Colossal Dragon Gods' fief, and they were the worthy masters of the continent.

"Little fellow, you've entered the Nidhogg Colossal Dragon Gods' territory now. You'd better not behave in the same unrestrained manner as you had previously."

A mirthful Moro said, "You'd better tone it down a little. If you dare so much as to create any trouble here, the Nidhogg Colossal Dragon Gods definitely won't let you off."

"The Nidhogg Colossal Dragon Gods are one of the most powerful godly clans in the Earth Divine Realm!"

Meng Lei had an extremely bright smile on his face as he said, "And being powerful means that they'll also be rich. If I ransack the Nidhogg Continent, surely I'll gain a lot of money?"

"I really don't understand what you want that much money for."

Moro shook his head and added, "I have to remind you once more—the Nidhogg Chief God resides in the central region of this very same continent. You'd best tone it down!"

"Haha!"

Meng Lei went straight above the Venus Colossal Dragon City and repeated the same trick he had previously used—using his powerful Transfer ability to loot Divinity Crystals.

As expected of a third-rate city, it was larger in scale, housed more experts, had an even more flourishing economy, and naturally even more Divinity Crystals. In the short span of a morning's time, the number of Divinity Crystals that Meng Lei had looted could already rival the total amount he had gotten from Dragon-Elephant City over a span of three days. The difference was extraordinary.

But as he looted the city, Meng Lei suddenly discovered in the afternoon that large numbers of higher deities had actually left the city.

"What's going on?"

Meng Lei looked stupefied.

Now that I'm here, you guys are actually leaving?

Chapter 386: Six-Legged Golden Suan Ni, Son Of A Chief God

It was fine just now, and then they fled once I arrived?

What's going on?

Puzzled, Meng Lei grabbed a higher deity for an interrogation.

"Sir, it was said that a Divinity Crystal mine was discovered in the Coiling Dragon Mountain Range. Rumor has it that its reserve isn't low. It's estimated at around a trillion tons!"

The higher deity was frightened as he told Meng Lei everything he knew and withheld nothing. "The lord deployed the city guards to find out more. I'm just watching the show!"

"A Divinity Crystal mine worth a trillion tons?"

A huge jolt went through Meng Lei, and a sharp glint flashed across his eyes. "Moro, how many Divinity Crystals can be mined from that trillion-ton mine?"

"A ton of Divinity Crystals would be approximately 10,000 Divinity Crystals," Moro said dispassionately. "A trillion tons would naturally be 10,000 trillion Divinity Crystals, but it's only a small mine."

"10,000 trillion Divinity Crystals!!" Meng Lei was shocked. "If a small mine can produce 10,000 trillion Divinity Crystals, then what about those bigger and richer mines?"

Suddenly, Meng Lei realized that he had entered a pitfall. The deities did possess loads of Divinity Crystals, but how could they compare to Divinity Crystal mines?

Thus, the best place to loot Divinity Crystals was not the deities but the rich mines!

"Sigh... My mindset was too fixed."

Meng Lei smacked his head as he spoke to that higher deity, "What's your name?"

"I'm Emery Philmore, sir."

"Bring me to the Coiling Dragon Mountain Range." Meng Lei took out a Great Perfection-level divine weapon casually. "After reaching the place, this will be yours."

A jolt went through Emery Philmore.

"Yes, sir!"

"Lead the way."

The Coiling Dragon Mountain Range was situated in the northeast of Venus Colossal Dragon City. The two places were separated by a distance of 200 lightyears, the furthest mountain range from the city. Due to its enormous size and remote nature, few deities would visit the mountains here.

Today, however, the news of the discovery of a new Divinity Crystal mine in the Coiling Dragon Mountain Range spread around. The entire Venus Colossal Dragon City was buzzing as the city guards, godly clans, and other deities were on the move to gather at that mountain range.

They were either there to probe the situation, watch the show, or take a share of the riches...

For quite a while, various types of flying transportation vessels blotted out the skies and moved formidably toward the Coiling Dragon Mountain Range.

Meng Lei released a flying vessel before getting Puhaman and the rest inside the ship to travel toward the Coiling Dragon Mountain Range.

This flying vessel was what he had looted a while ago. Currently, he had nothing but divine weapons of various kinds.

He could convert all the Divinity Crystals and Laws of Nature Origin Crystals into numerical values in the system, while carcasses could be thrown to the little golden tree in the Tower of Time. The only exception was the divine weapons, which he could only stockpile in his spatial ring. After years of collecting them, the number of divine weapons that Meng Lei had was enough for him to open a shop.

Two days later, the big group of traveling deities reached the destination. The huge mountain range was like a prostrating Colossal Dragon spanning into the horizon.

A massive group of deities gathered in a valley of the Coiling Dragon Mountain Range. Meng Lei and his subordinates were here with the group, and they could see that the valley had been dug.

A thick divine aura came from the huge hole, and everyone in the flying vessel perked up.

"Such a thick divine aura!"

"So this is a Divinity Crystal mine?"

Puhaman and the rest poked their heads out curiously to have a good look.

"This is the Coiling Dragon Mountain Range, sir," Emery Philmore said respectfully.

"Let's go down and have a look," Meng Lei said.

He kept the flying vessel with a wave of a hand and led his subordinates toward the valley. At the same time, the massive traveling group rushed over as well.

As they got nearer, they could see the iridescent glow coming out of the hole, like the stunning, dazzling reflections of diamonds.

It was obvious that there was a mine in that hole.

"A mine!"

"The Coiling Dragon Mountain Range does have a mine!"

The various deities were excited, and a commotion broke out among them. Even though they did not own the mine, they could still benefit from it indirectly.

There must be someone to mine these crystals, right?

They could become miners and indirectly earn from it!

"The news was true, sir!" Emery Philmore could not contain his excitement. "There really is a mine in the Coiling Dragon Mountain Range! That's a trillion tons of Divinity Crystals. How rich is that!?"

"That's good news for me."

Meng Lei was delighted. However, just as he was about to observe from a closer distance, the valley's guards stopped him. "This is a mining area. Anyone unrelated is forbidden from entering!"

Meng Lei broke into a slight frown.

"They're the city guards, sir." Emery Philmore hurriedly explained softly, "The city guards are the minions of the Venus Colossal Dragon City Lord. They are responsible for the security and management of the city. It's obvious that the city lord wants to hog the Divinity Crystal mine for himself."

"Hog for himself? Hehe!"

Meng Lei laughed. At this moment, a loud, sonorous dragon roar came from afar as nine magnificent-looking beasts flew over.

They had a lion's body, golden dragon scales, six-legged, and a pair of golden wings. Their shrill roars were majestic and domineering.

Meng Lei knew what these divine beasts were—Six-Legged Golden Suan Ni[1]!

The Six-Legged Golden Suan Ni had both the blood of a dragon and a lion. It possessed colossal strength and was lightning quick, the most elite mount one could have.

It was a pity that they were powerful beasts. Without enough capability, one might get killed, much less subduing them as mounts.

Hence, these majestic beasts were extremely rare, not to mention the nine that appeared suddenly. However, the most unbelievable part was that there were nine metal chains on the nine Six-legged Golden Suan Ni's necks, linking to a golden dragon carriage.

Nine Suan Ni were pulling a carriage!

"Who's this with such a grandeur introduction?" asked Bubbles.

"Yeah! That's way too grandeur!" Puhaman spoke as well. "But you got to admit that it's cool to have nine Six-Legged Golden Suan Ni pulling your carriage! It's really impressive!"

"You don't say..."

The rest were amused, while Emery Philmore was badly frightened. "Everyone, tone down the volume. If someone hears this, we'll be finished!"

"Emery, who is this guy you're so afraid of?" everyone asked quizzically.

"In our Venus Colossal Dragon City, other than the city lord, who else could have such ostentation?" Emery gave a wry laugh.

"That's only a lord of a city. What's the big deal?" Bubbles scoffed. "Compared to our Master, he's nothing at all!"

"To be honest, Master should snatch these Six-Legged Golden Suan Ni since they suit him more. They're simply wasted on a city lord!"

"Exactly..."

The rest were unhappy as well. Their master, an expert beyond the Great Perfection deity level, kept such a low profile. Yet, a fellow who was not even a Great Perfection deity was being so pretentious. That was infuriating.

Emery Philmore could not help but laugh wryly.

"Everyone, you might not know that our city lord isn't any ordinary deity."

"Not ordinary?"

"Really powerful?"

"Some bigshot from the Nidhogg Colossal Dragon Gods?"

Everyone was puzzled.

"His name is Venus Nidhogg. He isn't that powerful as he's only a mid-level higher deity. However, he's the great Nidhogg Chief God's little son. Though he isn't favored, he still enjoys a supreme status amongst the Nidhogg Colossal Dragon Gods," Emery Philmore explained.

"What the!"

"Son of a Chief God!"

"No wonder he's so high profile!"

"Impressive!"

"You got me!"

Chapter 387: Discovery of Crystal Marrows, Threatened

Second-generation descendants were always a special entity, no matter which world one was in. They might not be very strong, and they might only know how to enjoy a lavish life or womanize...

...But even so, no one dared to mess with them because they had a cheating device—A father named Li Gang[1]...!

That was what they relied on the most to freely womanize, patronize nightclubs, act obnoxiously without any restraints, behave arrogantly and unreasonably, hold themselves above others as though they were the most important person in the world, and think that their fathers could dictate law and order instead of the heavens!

In this world, second-generation descendants were also just as impressive, especially the offspring of Chief Gods. They were even more so the most impressive second-generation descendants in the vast universe. Everyone that saw them had to worship them, keep them in good spirits, and pamper them.

Should anyone dare to show them any disrespect, they would undoubtedly make sure they disappear from the face of the earth!

And wasn't that so? Because this particular second-generation descendant in front of Meng Lei and the others, as the son of the Nidhogg Chief God, was exactly adopting such an extremely high profile. Just the way he had made his appearance alone was already incredibly cool!

"My lord!"

"The lord of the city is here!"

"My lord, you're so handsome!"

Shouts and exclamations rang out all around. On top of that, some of the female deities' beautiful eyes even glittered brightly with overflowing feelings of worship and adoration. Those infatuated expressions of theirs were as though they wished they could strip off all their clothes and climb into the lord of the city's bed, with the only thing potentially stopping them being the lord's lack of interest in them.

At the sight, Puhaman and the others couldn't help but snipe sourly, "Isn't he just a rich, spoiled second-generation brat showing off and pretending to be cool by relying on his status as a Chief God's son? What's the big deal about him? He's not even worthy of becoming Master's servant..."

"Exactly..."

This was nothing but just sour grapes, but it couldn't be helped. Bearing grudges against the wealthy and the ones with authority had never been the mortals' exclusive right. Deities also had feelings and emotions; they were also capable of jealousy, hate, and bearing grudges against the wealthy and the powerful.

Meng Lei didn't say anything, choosing instead to observe quietly.

Roar!

The nine Six-Legged Golden Suan Ni gradually came to a stop before roaring into the heavens as one. Roiling sound waves erupted into the surroundings, seemingly announcing the son of the Chief God's arrival.

When the sound waves dissipated, a handsome youth dressed in golden armor and bearing purplish-gold dragon horns on his head flew out of the carriage and showed up in front of all the deities.

"Wow! The lord of the city has come out!"

Several goddesses screamed in excitement at the sight of Venus. They were as though veteran fujoshi[2] that had just caught sight of fresh, young male idols and were so excited that they almost couldn't catch their breath.

Among them was one particular goddess whose behavior was the most dramatic. A look of infatuation adorned her face as she clenched her fists and said, "As expected of the man I've set my sights on! You're so cool that no matter where you are, you're just like the firefly in the dark, so bright and so outstanding!

"Your handsome looks, arrogant stubble, cool and flashy way of making your appearance, and those nine Six-Legged Golden Suan Ni have deeply captivated me..."

When one reached a cultivation stage like Meng Lei's, their ears would already have become extraordinarily sharp. He naturally overheard the goddess' infatuated love confession, which rendered him totally flabbergasted. He could only say, "What a goddamn talent she is!"

Of course, the esteemed lord of the city definitely wouldn't be able to hear the infatuated goddess' wishful love confession. He overlooked the world, his eyes aloof and distant as his gaze swept across all the deities that had hurried over. The corners of his lips couldn't help but quirk upward as a scornful look surfaced in his eyes. After that, he descended onto the area in front of the valley.

"Greetings, my lord!"

The city guards in charge of sentry duty at the valley dropped onto one knee in greeting. Their actions were neat and uniform without even a bit of sloppiness. It was evident that all of them had undergone professional training before.

"Has a thorough check of the mine been carried out?" Venus asked dispassionately, "How many mineral resources are there?"

"My lord, we've already carried out a thorough investigation."

One of the city guards that appeared to be the captain replied respectfully, "The total amount of mineral reserves is estimated at 1.6 trillion tons to 2.3 trillion tons. They are of superb quality and can be classified as high-grade Divinity Crystals. On top of that..."

"What is it?"

Venus raised an eyebrow.

"We've detected crystal marrows in the center of the mine. We have yet to determine the concrete quantity, but there's likely a reasonable quantity in there," said the captain respectfully.

"Crystal marrows!"

Joy came over Venus' countenance, and he said, "Not bad! It just so happens to be Father's birthday in another two years. I was just feeling troubled over the lack of a suitable gift, but all's fine now that there's the crystal marrow. Father will definitely like it!"

The captain went along with the flow and quickly said in flattery, "Congratulations, my lord!"

"Hahaha! It's worth congratulating, indeed!"

Venus then gave a grand wave and declared, "All of you deserve credit for finding the Divinity Crystal mine and discovering the crystal marrows this time. Everyone shall be rewarded!"

"Thank you, my lord!"

The captain was overjoyed.

"Yeah!"

Venus then nodded slightly and said, "Start working on it right away. I can't wait to see the crystal marrows!"

"Yes, my lord!" Then, the captain shouted, "Men, get down to work and begin the mining process at once!"

"Yes, sir!"

Following his order, miners immediately entered the valley and got down to mining. Venus broke into a slight frown as he observed the number of miners. He asked, "When will you be able to extract the crystal marrows when there are only so few miners?"

The captain bowed and replied, "The crystal marrows are estimated to be extracted in two months' time, my lord."

"Two months? That's too slow."

Venus shook his head and ordered, "Recruit miners immediately. I want to see the crystal marrows in three days' time. Remember, I want to see them in three days' time. I won't accept even an hour of tardiness."

"Yes, my lord!"

Beads of perspiration formed on the captain's forehead at once. It was practically a project from hell, having to complete two months' worth of work in three days. Even the captain wanted to flip the table and quit...

...Except he didn't dare to.

Although he was a powerful high-level higher deity and was also an important figure among the Nidhogg Colossal Dragon Gods, he didn't dare to provoke Venus at all.

The son of the Chief God was by nature brutal, vicious, cruel, and ruthless. Should he utter even a single word of defiance, he would undoubtedly welcome a very tragic end.

But the problem was, where was he supposed to find that many miners within the short span of three days?

One needed two days just to travel from the Venus Colossal Dragon City to the mine, and the back-and-forth journey would require four days. That was way past the three-day deadline!

The captain's line of sight couldn't help but fall onto the deities that had hurried over to the mine. Then, he shot into the sky, went up to them, and asked, "Dear all, is there anyone who's willing to help with the mining? We'll give a reasonable pay of 10 Divinity Crystals per day!"

Becoming miners?

The reason why some of the lesser deities and intermediate deities had come here in the first place was precisely to sign up as miners and earn some income. They naturally didn't reject the opportunity and happily agreed.

However, the captain's brows were tightly drawn together. This bit of manpower was still not enough. In fact, it was far from being enough. He still needed more miners!

"Anyone else?"

The captain continued to inquire.

The other deities clearly weren't interested. They were either here to watch the show or here to see whether they could profit in any way from the situation. They weren't interested in mining at all.

Besides, the pay of 10 Divinity Crystals a day was too miserable for the amount of hardship involved in mining. Only the lesser deities and the intermediate deities could accept such a pay rate. They were above that scant bit of money.

"What? No one else?"

The captain's expression darkened, and he said, "This is the first Divinity Crystal mine that we, people of the Venus Colossal Dragon City, have discovered. There is great significance to the discovery. I hope everyone can chip in and help to mine the Divinity Crystals. You can consider it as making a contribution to the Venus Colossal Dragon City."

A few higher deities were convinced this time, and they agreed to help with the mining. However, it was obviously still far wayoff than the number of miners the captain needed.

This greatly infuriated the captain.

Great! The nerve of you to not appreciate the courtesy I've shown you. I tried so painstakingly to persuade all of you, yet you won't even help me out. This is too much!

The captain promptly flared up. Terrifying divine power exclusive to a high-level higher deity erupted into the surroundings and weighed down at will on the deities standing in front of him. He asked once more, "Is there anyone else that's willing to help?"

This was a blatant threat by now. Though despicable, it achieved surprisingly good results. Unable to bear the captain's tyrannical might, a greater half of the higher deities who were of mediocre strength and without any authority or power slunk into the valley to mine the crystals.

Only a small number of strong deities who were also part of a large godly clan remained unmoved and didn't take the captain's threat to heart.

The captain didn't dare to offend those experts, either. His gaze flitted across those experts before finally stopping at Meng Lei and the others. Now, these guys looked awfully unfamiliar. He didn't know who they were at all!

The nerve of you! Those nameless nobodies that came out of god knows where actually dare to defy my orders? You have a death wish, don't you!

"Everyone else has a very strong sense of self-awareness, but you're the only ones that are still standing there like wooden blocks. Are you unwilling to contribute to the city?" asked the captain sinisterly as he stared at Meng Lei and the others.

"Yes, I'm unwilling to!"

Chapter 388: Killing Boris, Ignoring The Lord of The City

"What are the few of you standing around there for? Are you not willing to contribute to the city?"

The captain stared sinisterly at Meng Lei and the others with a threatening look in his eyes. He had already made up his mind—if Meng Lei and the others didn't take a hint again, then he didn't mind taking their lives!

Those were just a few nameless nobodies. It was no big deal even if he killed them. It didn't pose any psychological burden to him at all. Instead, it could even serve as a warning to others and encourage them to mine more diligently.

"Those few people are out of luck!"

"They honestly don't know how to read the situation at all!"

"Didn't they see that Boris was already threatening them? Yet they actually still dared to remain unmoved. Such fools!"

The other deities watched Meng Lei and the others with mockery and gloating in their eyes. They were from the Venus Colossal Dragon God clan, so they naturally could ignore Captain Boris' threat, but what did those few people think they were? How dare they imitate them!

They were clearly thinking too highly of themselves!

"If those few haven't become utter fools yet, then they should go into the mine right away. Otherwise, that wicked Boris will never let them off..."

However, what none of them expected was that Meng Lei had rejected Boris' request without even a moment's hesitation. Meng Lei said, "We're just here to watch the show and not here to labor for you. Telling us to mine? Are you suffering from brain damage?"

Everyone stared at Meng Lei and the others as if they were staring at freaks the moment the words left Meng Lei's mouth. What an arrogant fellow! He actually dared to speak to Boris like that?

Boris was the Venus Colossal Dragon City guard commander, as well as the strongest deity under the Venus Colossal Dragon City lord's command. On top of that, he was also a scoundrel that killed without even batting an eyelid. He was the one in charge of getting all the wicked deeds that the lord of the city wanted to do done.

Killing people like flies, vicious and nefarious...

These were no longer enough to describe Boris.

Yet that guy in front of them had...

A nobody that had popped out of some godforsaken place had actually dared to speak to Boris like that! Wasn't he afraid of suffering Boris' wrath?

Venus, the son of the Chief God, had kept his attention on the valley the whole time and hadn't bothered focusing on the ongoings on the other side. To him, only the crystal marrows in the mine were worthy of his attention. Everyone else... wasn't even worth a mention.

But upon hearing Meng Lei's reply, even Venus couldn't resist turning around and taking a look. His brows furrowed lightly, feeling a little surprised.

That guy... What arrogance!

"W-we're finished! We're doomed now!"

Among the crowd, Emery Philmore nearly fell limp onto the ground. Fear and despair had completely taken over him. Meng Lei must be sick of living to talk back to Boris like that!

"That bastard! He's going to get me killed!" Emery Philmore groaned inwardly.

True enough, fierce flames of fury started to rage in Boris' eyes, and fearsome, torrential divine power erupted around him. He was so furious that he couldn't help but laugh instead.

"Well-done! Well-done! How bold of you to actually speak to me like that! Go to hell!"

Boris roared furiously and threw a powerful punch. He didn't hesitate to put his full power into the punch, evidently intending to kill Meng Lei and smash him into a bloody pulp with it.

"It's all over!"

At the sight, Emery Philmore couldn't help but shut his eyes—only to hear Puhaman's mocking voice next to his ear.

"What are you closing your eyes for? Aren't you a little too cowardly? Open your eyes wide and watch properly!"

"(o)"

At his words, Emery couldn't help but open his eyes. Then, he saw something incredible:

Meng Lei neither ducked nor avoided Boris, who was coming at him with fierce momentum. Instead, he made a casual grabbing motion with his right hand.

Thud!

Meng Lei easily caught what everyone had thought was a destructive punch in his own hand. The destructive force around it died down, and its momentum completely disappeared. And then... There was nothing else.

"How can this be?!"

Emery Philmore was stunned.

The deities watching the fight were stunned.

Boris himself was also stunned.

A look of surprise also surfaced on even Venus' countenance, seemingly not having expected a nobody to actually negate Boris' attack so easily.

"There are too many people out there that want me dead. Who do you even think you are?"

Meng Lei shook his head lightly and casually tightened his grip, crushing Boris' fist.

"Aahhh!"

Boris let out a shrill scream and looked at Meng Lei with fear and shock. His voice trembled as he asked, "W-who exactly are you?"

"Who am I? You're not qualified enough to know that."

Meng Lei then reached out his right arm and dealt a palm strike.

Boom!

A massive palm about 100,000-feet-long abruptly appeared in the sky and crashed down onto Boris. Its terrifying might and momentum were as if they were going to destroy everything in the world.

"Noooo!"

Fearful and horror-stricken, Boris cried out desperately, "My lord, s-save me!"

"Stop!"

Venus hastily spoke up and tried to stop Meng Lei. Boris was his lackey; he mustn't die just like that.

Meng Lei didn't pay him any heed at all, however. The massive palm's downward momentum made no move to slow down and engulfed Boris amid his screams of despair.

Boom!

The massive palm descended from above, ultimately landing on the summit of Coiling Dragon Mountain Range. A deafening explosion rang out, and even the whole mountain range itself shook a little.

Dust swirled everywhere as the ground and mountains trembled.

"What's the matter?"

"What happened?"

"An earthquake! It's an earthquake!"

"Hurry and get out!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The sudden tremors frightened the deities that had entered the valley, and they scrambled out of the valley like frightened little rabbits.

"What happened just now?"

"Look over there!"

Following the shout, everyone quickly looked over to see a gigantic deep pit forming at the summit. The pit was palm-shaped, and one could nary see to the bottom of it.

"How strange! Where did that palm-shaped pit come from? I seem to recall it wasn't there when I first arrived here..."

All the deities were terribly puzzled. Then, a chilling voice rang out. "Why didn't you stop when I told you to just now?"

"That's... The lord of the city's voice?"

Everyone quickly looked over to see the lord of the city sporting an icy look on his face. His eyes were practically spitting fire, and his countenance was as cold as the Antarctic ice as he gazed coldly at a young man.

"What's the matter with the lord of the city?"

"Why is he suddenly flaring up at a deity?"

"Who's that?"

Questions filled the deities' minds.

Venus was raging mad. Although he was certainly mad that someone had killed Boris, that wasn't enough to anger him this badly yet. The main reason for his anger was instead Meng Lei defying his order.

One must know that as the son of the Chief God, aside from a small handful of people, no one, even those among the clan's inner circle, had ever dared to refuse Venus anything.

Not even the clan elders!

Moreover, he enjoyed an even loftier position and was someone with absolute authority in Venus Colossal Dragon City. His orders were the golden rule, his will the highest decree, and his word the law itself!

Who would dare to defy his orders?

Nobody!

Those that did... would die!

Yet that fellow that had popped out of god knows where had actually defied—or perhaps completely ignored—his order just now!

This was unforgivable!

And inexcusable!

Fear and panic took over Emery Philmore as he gazed at Venus' icy eyes. Even Puhaman and the others also felt immense pressure. That guy wasn't particularly strong, but he was a Chief God's son!

A Chief God!

Those two words alone were already capable of applying an infinite amount of pressure on anyone, crushing down on them and rendering them unable to breathe.

"Am I supposed to stop just because you told me to? Who do you think you are?"

Chapter 389: Get On Your Knees, Killing The Son of The Chief God

Dead silence filled the whole place.

The air felt like it had been locked down.

Even time itself seemed to have stopped.

All the deities gazed at the black-haired young man standing proudly in the sky, every one of them flabbergasted and dumbfounded.

"Who's that guy? To think he's actually speaking to the lord of the city like that! Isn't he afraid that he'll be killed?"

"Tsk, tsk! How gutsy!"

"Such toughness! This is the first time I've seen such a stubborn fellow!"

After a momentary silence, the deities went into a furor. They pointed and gestured at Meng Lei, either mocking him, marveling at him, or watching him with a sympathetic look on their faces...

The most dramatic one was the infatuated goddess from earlier. She actually jumped in front of Meng Lei furiously and chastised him, "Where did a country bumpkin like you come from? Do you know who you're talking to? I demand that you apologize to the lord of the city! At once, right away, immediately!"

Varying expressions came over the deities' countenances at the sight of the goddess. That goddess was no simple deity. She was a member of the Nature Gods and was also well-known in Venus Colossal Dragon City. As she naturally bore a fragrance on herself and was also a huge beauty, she was hailed as the Hundred Flowers Goddess.

She had a great many pursuers, so many that they could form a line from one end of Venus Colossal Dragon City to the other end. There was no lack of people of high status from various major godly clans among them. It was just that the Hundred Flower Goddess wasn't interested in them at all.

Everyone knew that the only one she was in love with was Lord Venus. Thus, no one found the sight of the Hundred Flower Goddess standing up for Lord Venus strange.

"Apologize? Who do you think you are?"

Meng Lei only had a very simple response for an extremely narcissistic and exceedingly self-centered idiot like her—he gave her a tight slap across the cheek right away.

Smack!

A dozen or so bloody teeth flew about as a crisp smack rang out, and the Hundred Flower Goddess was sent flying with a shrill scream.

The deities were dumbfounded yet again at the sight of that.

He had sent her flying with a slap across the cheek?

Wasn't that a little too boorish of him?

"Nice!"

"How formidable, Master!"

On the other hand, Puhaman and the others were cheering in excitement instead. They didn't give two hoots about whether she was a goddess or not. This was what she deserved for showing their master disrespect!

"Great, great! Fantastic!"

Venus, the Chief God's son, had an icy, sinister look on his face. He said, "I've never seen anyone as arrogant as you in my whole life!"

"Is that so? Should I be honored, then?" scoffed Meng Lei, who didn't think much of the so-called Chief God's son at all.

"I'll show you that those who dare to act so brazenly in front of me would pay the price for doing so!" Then, Venus coldly ordered, "Men, take him down!"

All the city guards around him became rather hesitant upon his order. That guy was someone who was capable of killing even Captain Boris with just a single smack of his hand. Weren't they just having a death wish if they charge right up to him?

Yet if they didn't...

Just as the city guards were hesitating over what they should do, the nine Six-Legged Golden Suan Ni that had accompanied Venus here let out a loud and sonorous roar in tandem. Then, they transformed into nine streaks of light that shot over to Meng Lei, arriving right in front of him and surrounding them from all sides.

Nine murderous pairs of dragon eyes bore right into Meng Lei. Then, right on the heels of it, they let out a furious roar, causing thunderous roiling sound waves to explode and spread into the surroundings.

"Roar! Get on your knees!"

Boom!

Overwhelming waves of divine power erupted from the nine Six-Legged Golden Suan Ni, striking Meng Lei as though they were torrential tidal waves capable of toppling the mountains.

"Get on your knees!"

They roared yet again.

"W-what terrifying divine power!"

Despite only being subjected to the divine power's residual impact waves, Puhaman and the others nevertheless found it hard to breathe. They felt as if they would be flattened to the ground any moment.

The divine power that had erupted from the nine Six-Legged Golden Suan Ni was simply too fearsome. Even high-level higher deities could barely withstand it!

And indeed, it was certainly very fearsome!

Every one of those Six-Legged Golden Suan Ni was infinitely close to Great Perfection-level, and their combined divine power had actually reached Great Perfection-level after stacking on top of one another's.

Puhaman and the others naturally wouldn't be able to withstand Great Perfection-level divine power.

However, this bit of divine power was nothing to Meng Lei. He sized up the nine divine beasts and repeatedly nodded in a highly satisfied manner.

"They certainly look pretty good. It's pretty cool to have them pull one's carriage!"

The nine Six-Legged Golden Suan Ni flew into a thundering rage at his words. As divine beasts that had especially been captured to serve Venus, their master, they simply knew that expression too well.

Roar!

"Damn it!"

"Get on your knees!"

The nine Six-Legged Golden Suan Ni roared incessantly. They raised their powerful, sharp claws and swiped ruthlessly at Meng Lei, intending to flatten him onto the ground.

"You're too noisy! Keep it down!"

Meng Lei snorted lightly.

Boom!

An incomparably wild and violent aura erupted from Meng Lei and crushed down on the Six-Legged Golden Suan Ni like surging, torrential waves. Now, this was a Chief God's true blue might, so how could the nine Six-Legged Golden Suan Ni that weren't even Great Perfection-level yet possibly withstand it?

Spurt!

Blood spurted from their mouths at once, and they were sent flying while crying out as if they had been hit by a train racing toward them at high speed.

"What?"

Venus' expression changed at once when he saw what had happened. The nine Six-Legged Golden Suan Ni were super divine beasts that were infinitely close to becoming Great Perfection-level and were even capable of contending with a Great Perfection deity if they teamed up. They were also a means of protection that the clan had given him.

Yet that guy that had popped out of nowhere had actually sent the nine Six-Legged Golden Suan Ni flying just by releasing some of his aura?

Just how strong was he?

"Come back!"

Meng Lei suddenly made a grabbing motion at this point, upon which the nine Six-Legged Golden Suan Ni that were in the midst of being thrown back suddenly froze in mid-air before they then flew toward Meng Lei.

"Get down!"

Meng Lei slowly uttered two words. Then, with a flip of his wrist and a press of his hand downward, the nine Six-Legged Golden Suan Ni were flattened right onto the ground such that they prostrated right in front of him.

"Animals will be animals!"

Meng Lei snorted lightly. Then, he turned to Venus and said, "You're holding on to the Six-Legged Golden Suan Ni's divine spirit origin energies, right? Hand them over!"

"What do you want?"

Venus' expression changed drastically.

"Say the word, will you hand them over or not?" said Meng Lei dispassionately as he cast a glance at him.

"The Six-Legged Golden Suan Ni are mine. I'm their one and only master!"

Venus barked grimly, "Nobody can take them from me!"

"Not handing them over? Just go to hell, then!"

Meng Lei remained expressionless.

"Go to hell?"

Venus burst into loud laughter as though he had just heard the funniest joke in the world.

"Kill me? With the likes of you? Who do you think you are? Let me tell you something, it's not that there isn't anyone in the world that dares to kill me, but you're definitely not one of them!"

"Had the one saying that to me been the person that had spawned you back then, perhaps I would have shown a little fear and reverence. As for you... Hah, what a joke!"

Meng Lei shook his head with a laugh and made a grabbing motion in mid-air. A large, intangible hand instantly wrapped around Venus' throat and dragged him over.

"L-let go of me!"

Venus could hardly breathe with someone constricting his throat. His face flushed red, and he struggled fiercely as he threatened, "I... I'm the great Nidhogg Chief God's son! H-how dare you treat me like this! My f-father will never let you off!"

"Let him come, then. Just as well that I can take the opportunity to meet a so-called Chief God, too." Meng Lei chuckled and said, "As for you, it's a real shame that you'll never live to see that day anymore."

Chapter 390: The Chief God Descends, Strongest In The Universe

Crack!

A crisp crack rang out, and Venus' throat was crushed into bits. His eyes widened big and round as fury and disbelief filled them.

His fury was because Meng Lei had actually killed him, while his disbelief was because Meng Lei had actually dared to kill him.

Who was he?

He was the Nidhogg Chief God's son!

The Nidhogg Colossal Dragon Gods' young master!

A second-generation descendant publicly acknowledged as the most impressive people around!

Yet he had actually died in the hands of a nameless nobody that had popped out of some godforsaken place!

He couldn't tolerate this!

Neither could he accept it!

Indignation filled Venus, but what could he do?

As the saying went, "A man dies the same way that the light goes out".

Once he was dead, he would be dead through and through. Meng Lei casually tossed Venus' corpse aside, gouged out his divine core, and read his memories.

Venus was the Nidhogg Chief God's son and the lord of Venus Colossal Dragon City. Thus, he must know a lot.

"How dare you kill me!"

"How dare you kill me!"

"You knave, Father will never let you off! Neither will the Nidhogg Colossal Dragon Gods! They'll rip you into a million pieces to avenge my deat—"

Venus roared again and again, his divine spirit energy waves brimming with immense hatred. Oh, how resentful he was!

"You're too noisy!"

Meng Lei turned up the firepower of his attacks on Venus' divine spirit, causing Venus to scream. At once, his divine spirit was destroyed and reduced to broken bits and pieces. And then, all was silent.

"The Nidhogg Chief God... A lesser Chief God... Venus Colossal Dragon City's treasury..."

Various pieces of information flooded Meng Lei's mind, among which were some about the Nidhogg Chief God, some about the Nidhogg clan, as well as some about Venus Colossal Dragon City itself...

"He's killed the lord of the city!"

"Oh my god! He's actually killed the lord of the city!"

"What do we do? What do we do now?"

All the deities were scared witless while Meng Lei continued to read Venus' memories. Looks of fear and panic came over their countenances, and all of them looked as if a calamity was about to befall them.

Yes, calamity!

After all, Venus was the Nidhogg Chief God's son!

But now... He was dead!

What was going to happen next?

Nobody dared to even think about it!

But what they could be sure of was that the Nidhogg Chief God definitely wouldn't take things lying down, and neither would the Nidhogg clan. A bloodbath was sure to come!

Would the bloodbath implicate them? Nobody could say anything for certain, but as witnesses to Venus' death, they were undoubtedly going to be in for a rough ride.

"A lunatic! He's a total lunatic!"

"That bastard! He's totally screwed us over..."

For a moment there, resentment and rancor filled the deities' eyes as they watched Meng Lei. If looks could kill, they really wished they could rip Meng Lei into a million pieces!

Elsewhere, Meng Lei couldn't help but smile upon successfully reading all of Venus' memories.

Venus was just a mid-level higher deity, but as a Chief God's son, the number of riches he had accumulated over the years and the secrets he was privy to were in no way little.

This bout of soul reading was no loss at all!

"Why did you kill him, sir?!"

Emery Philmore looked fearful as he said, "We're doomed now. The Nidhogg Chief God will definitely kill us all! He definitely will!"

Puhaman and the others were also in somewhat of a panic. The other party was the son of a Chief God, yet their master had killed him!

What were they to do now? How were they supposed to bear the Nidhogg Chief God's endless fury now?

They knew that their master was very strong, to the extent that he was even stronger than a Great Perfection deity. But the one they had messed with this time was a Chief God! No matter how strong their master was, was he stronger than a Chief God?

"If the Nidhogg Chief God comes, then that would be great. I'd long since wanted to meet him!"

Meng Lei gave them a slight smile, his demeanor calm and unruffled. He wasn't bothered about the Nidhogg Chief God in the least.

"Old bro, what are we supposed to do now?"

Fatty Hart had a rather awkward look on his face as he suggested, "How about... We leave this place for now? It's too dangerous here."

"That's right, that's right! Let's hurry and leave. A man doesn't put himself in harm's way. It's better that we leave instead!"

"I also think that it's for the better that we leave. It's best if we can go back straight to Heaven's Vault Continent. It's the safest there..."

The others also spoke up one by one. They didn't want to stay for even a moment longer. All of them could feel chills running down their spines for fear that the Nidhogg Chief God would suddenly charge right over and take their lives.

Thus, they'd better just slip away!

"A bunch of cowards!"

A contemptuous Meng Lei said, "I'm the one that killed Venus, yet I'm not even afraid, so what's there for you to be afraid of? Besides, do you think you can even get away?"

Meng Lei's words made all of them feel ashamed of themselves. However, when they heard the last part of his response, their expressions changed slightly, and they asked, "What do you mean by that, Master?"

Meng Lei then raised his head to the sky with the corners of his lips slightly curled upward. "He's already here!"

"He's here? Who's here?"

Everyone was a little stupefied.

Then, they sensed the abrupt appearance of an incredibly terrifying aura shooting toward them at an unimaginably high speed.

Fast!

It was simply too fast! One could no longer use "speed" as a descriptor anymore. Rather... It was teleportation!

Yes, teleportation!

The terrifying aura reached them a brief moment later. Upon arriving, it erupted into the surroundings with great momentum, sweeping through all directions and wantonly ravaging the people's hearts and souls.

Thud!

Thud!

Thud!

Unsurprisingly, everyone aside from Meng Lei was flattened to the ground.

The city guards watching over the valley, the deities that had assembled here, and even the divine beasts inhabiting the Coiling Dragon Mountain Range were all flattened to the ground!

"W-what fearsome pressure and might!"

"A Chief God's aura!"

"Oh my god! This is a Chief God's aura!"

"A Chief God!!"

All the deities became incredibly fearful at once—they had already guessed who the Chief God that had just arrived was. Who else could it be other than the Nidhogg Chief God whose son had just been killed?

"He's doomed! That guy's doomed! The Nidhogg Chief God is going to rip him into a million pieces!"

"I just hope he doesn't take his anger out on us innocents..."

Filled with fear, everyone started to pray inwardly.

"What do we do now, everyone?"

"What else can we do? Nothing!"

"Now that things have reached such a pass, we can only pin our hopes on Master!"

"Please watch over us, Master..."

Puhaman and the others were also incredibly alarmed and panic-stricken, but they were more nervous and uneasy than terrified in comparison. They knew that their master was very strong and that he was even stronger than a Great Perfection deity.

However, they had no idea exactly how strong he was and whether or not he could rival a Chief God—this was exactly what they were uneasy about.

"Is Master a Chief God or not?"

Puhaman and the others were constantly wondering to themselves.

"You sure came really quickly. As expected of a Chief God!"

Meng Lei slowly raised his head. The corners of his lips curled upward slightly into a smile as he gazed at the muscular entity currently unleashing his fearsome aura without any restraints.

"A Chief God divine core is a fragment of a Heart of The Existential Plane. In some sense, those that become Chief Gods by refining Chief God divine cores can also be considered an existential plane's master," Moro's voice sounded in Meng Lei's mind as he said, "And in their own existential plane, a Chief God will naturally be able to manipulate Power of Existential Plane to teleport to places."

"Indeed!"

Meng Lei nodded slightly in response. He didn't know where the Nidhogg Colossal Dragon Gods' base was, but he surmised that it must be a great distance of at least several hundred, or a thousand, light years away from where they currently were.

Yet the Nidhogg Chief God had hurried over in just the short span of a few minutes. From this, one could tell just how fast his traveling speed had been!

"Who... was the one that killed my child?"

A voice imbued with boundless awe-inspiring might rang out. It wasn't loud and even sounded very calm and peaceful, but in spite of that, no one could muster any thoughts of putting up any resistance at all.

This was... The sound of a Chief God!

The most powerful sound in the universe!

Chapter 391: Taking On A Chief God, Death Deserved

"It's... It's just as expected!"

"The Nidhogg Chief God has descended!"

"He's here for revenge!"

"He'll kill this bastard!"

After they heard those powerful words spoken with absolute authority, the deities went into utter silence as fear overcame them.

The pressure coming from the aura was too frightening. It was as if innumerable metric tons of force were pressing onto their hearts. Now, they could not even lift their heads and could only prostrate on the ground.

"Who... killed my child?"

The colossal Nidhogg Chief God spoke once again. His voice was like deafening claps of thunder that blasted into everyone, leaving behind painful, buzzing noises in their ears.

"I killed him!"

Meng Lei soared up into the sky and came face to face with the Nidhogg Chief God. He sized up this existence far above, who ruled the heavens and earth, with some interest.

A Chief God!

The king among gods!

That was the supreme existence standing at the top of the pyramid, and it was Meng Lei's first-ever meeting with one.

"How bold to kill my child! Die!" The Nidhogg Chief God had no expression as he swung his hand.

Boom!

A gigantic palm made of colorful light beams appeared in thin air, crashing down with destructive might toward Meng Lei. The terrifying aura and incomparable speed it gave off seemed to be crushing Meng Lei into dust in no time.

"Oh no!"

The area this palm covered was too large. Meng Lei was in the center of the palm, while all the other deities, city guards, and even the entire Coiling Dragon Mountain Range was within range. If this strike landed, everyone... would die!

Survival was absolutely impossible!

Survive?

It was the most foolish thing to think about when a Chief God attacked.

"It's over! We're dead meat!"

"I knew it would come to this. The collateral kills beneath a Chief God's fury was nothing to him! This goddamn bastard, I'm going to die because of him!"

"I won't let you off even if I have become a ghost!"

Desperation filled the hearts of the deities, while their hate for Meng Lei had never been higher. If they could turn back time, they would definitely take out Meng Lei's grandfather when he was nine years old.

"So this is a Chief God?"

"It's simply unrivaled!"

"Are we going to die?"

"Master! You must hold him off!"

Puhaman and the rest were equally desperate. In the face of such a powerful attack, they realized that they were as weak as tofu that could become squashed into pieces. Their only hope of survival was their Master, Meng Lei.

"Kill me?"

Meng Lei looked relaxed as if the attack was nothing. The strike was created from a high-end Power of Existential Plane that was highly destructive.

Even Great Perfection deities would become heavily injured from the strike. As for ordinary deities, they would simply disintegrate.

That was known as the Power of Chief Gods—the combination of divine power and high-end Power of Existential Plane to morph into a new form of power of divinity. The main reason Chief Gods were unrivaled was due to the high-end Power of Existential Plane.

High-end existential planes were too vast and almost boundless. One could imagine the power level of the Power of Existential Plane they could generate.

It was a pity, after all. When facing such an attack, Meng Lei still did not make the slightest attempt to avoid it. He stood his ground. Before the gigantic palm struck his head, Meng Lei used his fingers as a sword and swiped up gently.

Slash!

The vibrant gigantic palm was slashed from the middle into half. The two halves of the palm continued smashing down toward the two sides.

Boom!

Many deities were within range of the two halves of the gigantic palms. They were crushed into a bloody mist, unsurprisingly.

Only Puhaman and the rest who were standing beside Meng Lei and some deities who were closer survived the attack. Their horror-stricken faces were ghastly pale.

"Interesting."

The Nidhogg Chief God squinted his eyes. The strike just now was not his best, but with his power level as a lesser Chief God, even a Great Perfection deity would not be able to resist it. However, he did not expect the fellow in front of him to deal with it with ease...

The Nidhogg Chief God asked with a cold voice, "Who are you exactly? There's no expert like you that I know of in the Earth Divine Realm, other Divine Realms, or in the Celestial Realm."

"Who I am isn't important!"

Meng Lei shook his head lightly.

"Agreed!" The Nidhogg Chief God replied aloofly. "Your fate was sealed at the moment you killed Venus. I shall vanquish your soul!"

As he finished his sentence, the Nidhogg Chief God blasted off a punch. Instantly, a ten-meter large colorful fist shot out as it smashed toward Meng Lei.

The Nidhogg Chief God used 80% of his power on this blow. The air in its path was instantly engulfed in a dark tunnel, and the gigantic fist came as if it had teleported.

"These boring moves again!"

Meng Lei shook his head slightly and responded with a casual punch—an invisible punch meeting the destructive colorful punch.

Boom!

The two fists collided, and a terrifying might exploded, sending tidal shockwaves across the vicinity like a tsunami.

The remaining deities were unlucky.

Spurt!

Spurt!

Spurt!

Anywhere the shockwaves passed through, crackling sounds of exploding heads followed. Deities exploded one by one as if a road roller was rolling over a watermelon field.

Other than Puhaman and those protected by Meng Lei, the remaining deities turned into a bloody mist in that brief moment. Not a single one survived.

"D-dead? All... dead?"

Puhaman and the rest were in a protective shield as they watched the deities burst into clouds of bloody mist. They swallowed hard, scared witless.

Indeed, scared witless.

All the lively deities just now were dead, sacrificing for the battle between their master and the Chief God.

How tragic!

He's caught another one?

The Nidhogg Chief God broke into a frown. If the first attack had been understandably blocked, he could not believe that the second one, which he had used 80% power on, had been caught with ease as well.

"You're a Chief God?"

The Nidhogg Chief God glared at Meng Lei with his razor-sharp eyes as if he was trying to see through all his secrets. "You assimilated that Chief God divine core in the Great Pompeii Desert, didn't you? No! That's not right!

"That Chief God divine core was only just born. Even if you obtained it, you could never assimilate it in such a short period! Or maybe..."

The Nidhogg Chief God thought of another possibility—a Supreme Great Perfection deity.

Supreme Great Perfection deity—a Great Perfection deity who comprehended the supreme laws of nature and a deep prowess in it.

This type of Great Perfection deity could surely match a Chief God.

"Chief God?"

Puhaman and the rest heard the term, and expressions of joy followed.

"Our Master is a Chief God! He really is a Chief God! I knew it, if our Master can kill Great Perfection deities, how can he not be a Chief God?"

"Hahaha, Master is a Chief God as well..."

"He's a Chief God?"

Emery Philmore gazed at the back of Meng Lei. His mind was buzzing with only one thought.

He's a Chief God!

"It doesn't matter whether I'm a Chief God or not!" Meng Lei held his hands behind his back. "What's important is that I am fully capable of matching your power. Hence, since your son dared to provoke me, he got the death he deserved!"

The Nidhogg Chief God changed his previous remark. "Provoking a Supreme Great Perfection deity, he got what he deserved indeed!"

Chapter 392: Mining Divinity Crystals, A Surprise Attack

A Chief God... was not to be humiliated.

That was the consensus among all deities. It was not just because Chief Gods were the most powerful beings in the universe—they represented the status of the highest order.

As for Supreme Great Perfection deities, the only existences that could rival Chief Gods and enjoyed the same status, they were secretly regarded to be superior over Chief Gods among the deities.

After all, the deities were somewhat indignant toward Chief Gods, who were the lucky few. Everything that they possessed currently was all due to luck.

The Supreme Great Perfection deities were completely different. They ground their way toward the power they possessed with their talent and hard work, proving their capabilities.

Hence, a Supreme Great Perfection deity... was not to be humiliated even more.

Provoking a Chief God... deserved death!

Provoking a Supreme Great Perfection deity... deserved death even more so.

The Nidhogg Chief God understood this point very well. Thus after guessing that Meng Lei might be a Supreme Great Perfection deity, his attitude took a 180-degree turn.

"Provoking a Supreme Great Perfection deity, he got what he deserved indeed!"

With that said, he turned around. He knew that he was only a lesser Chief God who could not harm a Supreme Great Perfection deity. Rather than humiliating himself, he would prefer to retreat for now.

A Chief God thought highly of their pride.

Meng Lei gazed at him from the back and did not say anything else. Though he was not afraid of the Nidhogg Chief God, he was not confident that he could kill him.

Moreover, in his own existential plane, a Chief God could utilize the Power of Existential Plane, making them extremely difficult to kill.

Since that was the case, Meng Lei did not obstruct the departure.

"He's gone!"

"The Nidhogg Chief God has descended!"

"Master has won! He's won!"

"Hooray! Long live our Master!"

"Long live our Master..."

As they watched the Nidhogg Chief God leave, Puhaman and the others were delirious with joy. They surrounded Meng Lei and cheered in pure excitement.

At this moment, they were the most euphoric ones. If their Master was a Chief God, it meant that they could cozy up to someone powerful enough to do whatever they wanted.

Who wouldn't be jubilant?

Who wouldn't be euphoric?

Who wouldn't be worked up over it?

"Go now, recover the divine cores and carcasses. I shall begin the extraction of this mine," Meng Lei said dispassionately.

"Yes, Master!"

Puhaman and the others complied, and they worked to collect the divine cores and dead bodies.

Other than them, the rest of the deities had not survived.

Although most deities were crushed to powder or turned into a bloody mist, their divine cores and spatial rings were intact.

These were all treasures.

"Next up, this Divinity Crystal mine!"

Meng Lei gazed at the undulating mountains with a shrewd glint in his eyes. A mine with a reserve of a trillion tons, which possibly contained 10,000 trillion Divinity Crystals.

,000 trillion!

That was an enormous sum of wealth.

As long as he extracted all of these Divinity Crystals, he could buy credit for two supreme laws of nature and become an existence comparable to a higher Chief God!

A higher Chief God...

The more Meng Lei thought about it, the more agitated he became. His divine cognition spread out instantly and shrouded the entire Coiling Dragon Mountain Range, continuing beneath the ground.

It continued all the way 300,000 feet underground before Meng Lei finally detected the presence of Divinity Crystals. He immediately activated an Innate Special Ability—Teleportation.

Whoosh!

A large piece of Divinity Crystal disappeared from underground. By the time it reappeared, it was in the skies.

It was a red crystal that was more than 50 kilometers long and 20 kilometers wide, like a towering fire dragon hovering in the air. The crystal reflected a fiery red glow in the sunlight, bright and dazzling.

"The Divinity Crystal ore!"

Puhaman and the rest turned their heads to the crystal as astonishment filled their eyes. How did their master extract such a huge ore in a matter of seconds?

That was too impressive!

However, once the thought that their master was a Chief God sprung into their minds, they were able to reconcile themselves with the idea. A Chief God was omnipotent after all.

"Collect them all, system!"

Meng Lei suppressed his excitement as he gave a prompt command.

Whoosh!

A strange, great force appeared in thin air and engulfed the entire ore. In the very next second, the enormous ore vanished.

At the same time, Meng Lei's Wealth value skyrocketed at an insane speed, stopping only after a dozen seconds.

"Haha!"

"Hahaha!"

"Hahahaha"

Meng Lei stared at that massive figure, no longer able to contain his excitement and agitation. He laughed loudly into the sky. His laughter was like a clap of rolling thunder that reverberated throughout the sky.

(o)?

"What's the matter with Master?"

Everyone stopped what they were doing and gazed at Meng Lei with puzzled expressions.

Emery Philmore went closer to Puhaman and asked softly, "Big Brother Puhaman, what's going on with our lord?"

"Delight, I suppose!" Puhaman gave a couple of dry coughs. "Every time our Chief God is happy, he'll laugh in this manner. You'll get used to it!"

"Get used to it?"

Emery Philmore perked up. "Big Brother Puhaman, do I really have a chance to get used to it? What if our Lord couldn't care less about me?"

Anxiety overcame Emery Philmore. After knowing that Meng Lei was a Chief God, Emery was shocked, horrified, dumbstruck, in awe...

Now, all he desired was to join them and become Meng Lei's follower.

How honorable would it be to be a follower of a Chief God?"

He was only a normal higher deity—no authority, power, Divinity Crystals, nor the capability—a nobody in the Earth Divine Realm.

If he could become Meng Lei's follower, his status would undergo a tremendous change. He would leap into a bigshot instantly.

Hence, he wanted to be part of the team, only afraid that Meng Lei would look down on him.

Emery Philmore was very anxious about it.

"There are still opportunities. It's all up to how you perform." Puhaman feigned a deep voice.

Emery Philmore had been a deity for ages. How could he not understand the meaning of Puhaman's words. He quickly took out a spatial ring and offered it up sincerely. "Big Brother Puhaman, this is just a little gift to show my gratitude!"

Puhaman released his divine cognition to take a peek inside.

What the!? So many Divinity Crystals!

He handled the spatial ring with an indifferent expression and said. "We are all friends. How can I take this?"

"Big Brother Puhaman, it's just a small token of appreciation!" Emery Philmore smirked.

His gratitude satisfied Puhaman. He smiled and said, "Although Master is a man with power beyond your imagination, an elegant man, an aristocratic-looking and handsome man, a man of great talent, a knowledgeable man, an eloquent person who have chapter and verse at his tongue's tip, a man with colossal strength... he is actually a down to earth person!

"As long as you offer your loyalty and serve Master whole-heartedly, Master will consider keeping you by his side..."

As an experienced person, Puhaman instructed in earnest.

Emery Philmore listened to the advice modestly, as if listening to this speech benefited more than studying for ten years.

Just as one of them was warming up to his speech while the other was listening modestly, a shrill whiz rang out. A dazzling spark pierced through the air and almost blinded everyone on the scene.

In the next moment, violent shockwaves blasted off. Puhaman and Emery Philmore felt an immense force crashing into them, crushing them instantly.

Then... There was nothing else.

Chapter 393: The Three Great Chief Gods, Time Freeze

Blinding flames filled the sky as violent and raging energy waves turned the void itself into a viscous, glue-like state. Everyone within the area was blown into smithereens.

Puhaman, Emery Philmore!

Fatty Hart, Sacas!

Bubbles, Galen!

All of them were dead!

The flames gradually died down, and the glue-like void slowly returned to its original state.

By the time the sky had resumed its original clarity, and everything had returned to what it was like before, Meng Lei had become the only one left in the sky. Everyone else... had vanished.

Numerous divine cores floating in the air were the only things left behind.

"Well done! Well done, indeed!"

Meng Lei's expression was so cold and sinister that it could almost freeze. He shouted, "Get the hell out here at once since you're already here! Can you really call yourself a Chief God when you're sneaking around like that?!"

Buzz!

A series of ripples went through the air as three figures revealed themselves.

The first was burly and muscular and sported a pair of horns on his head—he was none other than the Nidhogg Chief God that had just left a short while ago.

The second was a 100,000-feet-tall Titan Chief God dressed in golden armor, while the third was a sixteen-winged Angel Chief God enveloped in mighty holy light.

A Colossal Dragon Chief God, a Titan Chief God, an Angel Chief God—that made a total of three great Chief Gods! And they had all descended upon the world together!

"Give me a reason why!" Meng Lei demanded icily.

"Allow me to do the introductions."

With an aloof look on his face, the Nidhogg Chief God gestured to the other two Chief Gods beside him and said, "This is Dawson, the Titan Chief God, and this is Raphael, the Angel Chief God."

Then, he pointed at Meng Lei and said, "Dawson, Raphael, that's the Supreme Great Perfection deity that I mentioned. It's highly likely that the Chief God divine core that had just emerged in the Great Pompeii Desert is in his hands because he's the one who's both the strongest and closest in proximity to it!"

The Titan Chief God and the Angel Chief God nodded slightly in response. Their awe-inspiring and aloof gazes then fell on Meng Lei, and they ordered, "Hand over the Chief God divine core, and we'll spare your life!"

"The Chief God divine core?"

Meng Lei stared at the Nidhogg Chief God and asked, "You left and came back again, and even brought two other great Chief Gods with you along the way, just for the Chief God divine core in my possession?"

"So, you admit that the Chief God divine core is in your possession?"

The three great Chief Gods' eyes brightened significantly, and their eyes bore straight into Meng Lei. They had guessed that the Chief God divine core was with Meng Lei, but a guess was ultimately nothing more than just a guess. They couldn't make an accurate judgment as to whether it was true or not.

Now that Meng Lei had admitted to it, this proved that their guess was indeed correct. How could they possibly not be delighted?

With a flip of Meng Lei's hand, an irregularly-shaped crystal that glowed with ten different colors appeared on his palm—it was exactly the Chief God divine core that had caused such a huge commotion in the Great Pompeii Desert earlier.

"The Chief God divine core!"

"The Chief God divine core is indeed with you!"

Intense shudders went through the three Chief Gods, and looks of greed and desire burst forth from their eyes. The looks in their eyes were as if they wanted to gobble Meng Lei up and take the Chief God divine core sitting on his palm for themselves.

"Give it to me!" The three Chief Gods barked in unison.

"All of them are already Chief Gods, so why do they want this Chief God divine core so much, Moro? This thing shouldn't be of much use to them, isn't it?"

Meng Lei was puzzled.

"No, you're mistaken. Not only are Chief God divine cores of use to them, but they are even of great use at that."

Moro's voice surfaced in his mind. He explained, "You should also know that a Chief God divine core is essentially a fragment of a high-end existential plane's Heart of The Existential Plane and not an ordinary divine core. In other words, a Chief God is able to assimilate multiple Chief God divine cores."

"They're able to assimilate multiple Chief God divine cores?"

A mild jolt went through Meng Lei as enlightenment dawned upon him.

That's right!

A person could only assimilate a maximum of one divine core for divine cores of the same grade. If they wanted to assimilate more, then they would have to assimilate divine cores of higher grades.

However, this wasn't the case for Chief God divine cores.

Strictly speaking, a Chief God divine core wasn't even a divine core at all but a Heart of The Existential Plane fragment instead. Therefore, one would naturally be able to assimilate many of them.

On top of that, the more there were, the better it was. The more one assimilated, the more Power of Existential Plane they would be able to manipulate, thereby making the Chief God even stronger!

Moro smiled dispassionately and said, "Those three fellows were very likely ordinary deities with mediocre aptitudes before they assimilated their Chief God divine cores. Thus, despite having become Chief Gods for many years, they still haven't comprehended any supreme laws of nature and are still just lesser Chief Gods who are the weakest of the lot.

"Therefore, for them, becoming stronger by relying on comprehending supreme laws of nature won't work at all. They can only strengthen themselves by assimilating more Chief God divine cores.

"But there are only so many Chief God divine cores out there. Moreover, they've basically all been assimilated by other Chief Gods, so how can there possibly be any extras? Now that they've seen the one you have, it would be stranger instead if they didn't go crazy for it!"

Meng Lei nodded slowly. He had already understood why the Nidhogg Chief God had left and returned, as well as why he had brought the other two Chief Gods here to besiege him.

Everything was for the sake of obtaining the Chief God divine core he had!

"Give it to me!"

The three Chief Gods' expressions darkened at the sight of Meng Lei's indifference. They barked another command fiercely, unable to hold back anymore.

"And if I don't?" Meng Lei sneered coldly.

"Not handing it over? Then you can go to hell!"

The Nidhogg Chief God said icily and sinisterly, "I certainly can't do anything about you by myself, but killing you is no difficult task with the three of us!"

"Hand over the Chief God divine core! Otherwise, you'll die!" ordered the Titan Chief God in an icy-cold voice.

"We'll spare your life as long as you hand over the Chief God divine core," said the Angel Chief God gently as holy light suffused the air around him.

"You're going to kill me? With the likes of the three of you?"

Meng Lei burst into laughter as if he had just heard the funniest joke in the whole universe. His voice reverberated throughout the sky like a tsunami toppling the mountains and overturning the seas.

"You're courting death!"

"What insolence!"

"How presumptuous!"

The three Chief Gods' expressions darkened right away. Roiling waves of the Chief Gods' might arose around them and crushed down upon Meng Lei from everywhere, intending to flatten him.

"All of you can forget about leaving this place today!"

Icy harshness took over Meng Lei's eyes as he gradually curbed his laughter. He said, "I will gouge out your Chief God divine cores, destroy your divine spirits, and enslave your bodies. I will destroy your souls and thoroughly wipe you off the face of the earth!"

"You're going to kill us? Why don't you die first, then!"

The three Chief Gods moved at the same time.

With a forceful grab from the Nidhogg Chief God, a gigantic multi-colored dragon claw formed completely from ten-colored lights instantly rushed forward and grabbed at Meng Lei.

"Go to hell!"

The Titan Chief God clenched his right fist and threw a powerful punch. At once, a heavy, multi-colored punch that carried fearsome, earth-shattering might went hurtling out.

"Holy Light Judgment!"

The Angel Chief God flapped the 16 wings on his back. Several rays of holy light converged to form a gigantic multi-colored sword that dazzled with the light of ten different colors. Then, the sword cleaved forward.

A dragon claw!

A powerful punch!

A gigantic sword!

The attacks drew three arcs across the sky like rainbows piercing through the sun and crashed down upon Meng Lei. The three Chief Gods had attacked with their full power when they launched these attacks; even ordinary Great Perfection deities would be crushed into dust if they were even so much as hit by the residual impact waves, let alone struck squarely by the attacks themselves.

"These attacks will at least maim him if they didn't already kill him. I'll have to strike first and snatch the Chief God divine core as soon as possible later. Once I get the Chief God divine core..."

The three Chief Gods might have their gazes fixed on Meng Lei, but their minds were already working at top speed. They were already thinking about how they could snatch the Chief God divine core in Meng Lei's possession.

Despite being up against such terrifying attacks, Meng Lei neither ducked nor dodged. In the instant the claw, the punch, and the sword were about to reach him, he slowly uttered two words, "Time Freeze!"

Buzz!

Two soft and gentle rays of golden light shot out of Meng Lei's eyes. Everything in the golden light's path froze in time.

The fluctuating space-time had become still!

The flowing air had become still!

The wild, violent attacks had become still!

Everything... had become still!

The three Chief Gods were no exceptions, either. They froze on the spot with looks of greed still on their faces.

Meng Lei took step after step toward the three Chief Gods. Soft, gentle golden light spilled from his eyes as he scoffed, "So, you're going to kill me? In the face of the full and complete version of time-based laws of nature, how are losers that haven't even comprehended any supreme laws of nature like the lot of you going to kill me?"

Chapter 394: Killing The Chief Gods, The Chief God Treaty

Meng Lei's wish had come true, and he had gained 12 quadrillion Divinity Crystals after extracting Divinity Crystals from the mine.

Added to this the 2.209 quadrillion Divinity Crystals he already had, this came up to a total of 14.209 quadrillion Divinity Crystals!

In other words, he now had... 14,209 trillion Divinity Crystals!

Buying credit for any one type of supreme laws of nature required 5,000 trillion Divinity Crystals.

With 14,209 trillion Divinity Crystals, Meng Lei now had enough to buy credit for two types of supreme laws of nature.

Without any hesitation, Meng Lei had promptly bought credit for his time-based laws of nature and spatial laws of nature and boosted his comprehension rates for both to 100%, thereby fully comprehending these two types of supreme laws of nature.

It was an extremely strange and wonderful feeling when one had fully comprehended a type of supreme laws of nature. As far as the eye could see, the air was filled with densely packed time-based laws of nature and spatial laws of nature chains. They enveloped every corner of the void in a haphazard and disorderly manner, leaving no area untouched.

Meng Lei could usually vaguely see these laws of nature chains, too. But he was just like an illiterate looking at a dictionary—able to clearly see every single word, yet couldn't recognize any, let alone understand what they meant, of course.

He could see them, but he didn't know what they meant—Meng Lei had exactly been in that state previously.

However, things were different now!

Now, Meng Lei clearly understood what each single laws of nature chain meant, what kind of function each represented, what kind of effect each would bring... It was as if he had known all these all along.

This was a very peculiar experience. It felt very magical, very mysterious, and also... very powerful!

Yes, powerful!

The two supreme laws of nature were simply too powerful, so much so that Meng Lei felt as if he were under the misconception that he was the strongest entity in the whole of the universe!

"In the face of full and complete versions of supreme laws of nature, people who haven't even comprehended any supreme laws of nature like the lot of you are no different from a bunch of total losers!"

Soft, gentle golden light—in other words, time-based laws of nature chains—spilled from Meng Lei's aloof, dispassionate eyes. Wherever he looked, time stopped and went into an absolute state of stillness.

Even if one were a Chief God, and even if one were the most fearsome and strongest entity in the vast universe, they would still have to obediently stay still on the spot, no matter what.

Their divine bodies, as well as their minds and consciousness, had all entered a state of stillness! This was exactly what made time-based laws of nature so powerful!

Meng Lei took step after step toward the Nidhogg Chief God. Then, he reached out three of his fingers, slowly pierced them through the area in between the Nidhogg Chief God's brows, and gouged out a crystal that shone with dazzling lights of different colors—it was none other than the Nidhogg Chief God's Chief God divine core.

The Nidhogg Chief God didn't put up any struggle during the whole process. Neither did he show any look of pain or agony. In fact, he didn't even frown.

Wasn't he in pain?

Of course not!

Time was needed in order for pain receptors to pick up pain and send the relevant signals through the nerve endings. Similarly, time was also needed for one's thoughts and consciousness to run and operate. However, the Nidhogg Chief God's time had already reached an absolute state of stillness, so he naturally wouldn't feel any pain—or to be more accurate, he wasn't in time to feel the pain yet!

After that, Meng Lei also went on to gouge out the Titan Chief God's and the Angel Chief God's Chief God divine cores, thereby completely taking for himself what the three great Chief Gods had depended on the most to become the strongest entities in the universe and to stand above the rest of the world.

"You can actually lock down the time around a Chief God, kid?"

Moro had been dumbstruck throughout the whole process. He asked, "How did you manage to do that? Could it be that... Your comprehension of time-based laws of nature has undergone a qualitative breakthrough?"

Meng Lei had successfully locked down the time around a Chief God! On top of that, he had even locked down the time around three Chief Gods at one go!

Now, this was simply too dramatic!

Although all three Chief Gods were just lesser Chief Gods and had zero comprehension of supreme laws of nature, their divine bodies and divine spirits were incredibly strong and powerful. Moreover, they also possessed Chief God divine cores. Thus, they had an exceedingly great influence on the time and space around themselves.

Locking down the time around them... This was simply too difficult a task!

Yet Meng Lei had achieved it, nonetheless. On top of that, he had even done it skillfully, easily, and effortlessly. This was simply too shocking. Moro couldn't help but be astonished!

"I've already fully comprehended time-based laws of nature," replied Meng Lei unhurriedly.

The gentle golden light in his eyes gradually faded, and the time around them resumed its flow. The three great Chief Gods' shackled thoughts and consciousnesses also began to function once more.

At once, the sight of their divine bodies, the bloody holes in the areas between their brows, and Meng Lei, who was standing right in front of them, entered their line of vision.

"What's going on?"

The three Chief Gods were rather bewildered. They hastily released divine spirit energy waves to check the surroundings, and the moment they did, they turned pale with horror—Meng Lei was actually holding their Chief God divine cores in his hand!

"What exactly is going on ?"

"Why are our Chief God divine cores in his hands?"

The three Chief Gods were utterly flummoxed. They had clearly been attacking Meng Lei just now, yet Meng Lei had already gotten hold of their Chief God divine cores the very next moment. They were absolutely certain that nothing had happened during this entire process!

Perplexed and horrified, they couldn't understand what had happened and found it hard to accept the current situation.

"Are you very surprised?" asked Meng Lei calmly as he played with the Chief God divine cores he was holding.

"What exactly did you do to us?!" shouted the Nidhogg Chief God.

"I suppose there's no harm in telling you," Meng Lei said calmly, "I cast Time Freeze just now and stopped your flow of time. However, my flow of time remains active in the meantime. Get it?"

"T-Time Freeze!"

Realization dawned upon the three Chief Gods, and they instantly understood what had happened. The Nidhogg Chief God couldn't help but exclaim, "The laws of nature that you've comprehended are actually time-based laws of nature?!"

"That's right."

Meng Lei nodded lightly.

The Angel Chief God's voice trembled as he asked, "For you to be able to instantly lock down three Chief Gods' flow of time, to what extent has your comprehension of time-based laws of nature exactly reached?"

"I've already fully comprehended time-based laws of nature."

Meng Lei didn't hold back any information. There wasn't any need for him to do that anyway.

"Y-you've already fully comprehended it?!"

The three Chief Gods were thunderstruck.

A Great Perfection deity could already contend with a lesser Chief God after comprehending a bit of supreme laws of nature. Upon reaching a 50% comprehension rate, they could even contend with an intermediate Chief God. When they reached a full comprehension rate, they could contend with a higher Chief God!

Since Meng Lei had already fully comprehended time-based laws of nature, then that meant that he could already contend with a higher Chief God, whereas they were only lesser Chief Gods at the bottom of the tier. How could they possibly contend with Meng Lei?

The Titan Chief God broke into curses and shouted, "Nidhogg, you fool! You've totally screwed us over!"

He hated the Nidhogg Chief God with practically every fiber of his being right now.

He really wished he could go back in time and brutally kill the Nidhogg Chief God's grandfather when he was only nine years old. This way, the frightening situation he was currently in would never have happened.

"F*ck you, Nidhogg!"

The Angel Chief God, who was just as furious, looked as if he wanted to tear Nidhogg into two with his own hands.

"Is there any use in complaining now? Hurry and think of something!" The Nidhogg Chief God was close to a mental breakdown by now.

Never in his wildest dreams would he have ever thought that there would come a day where he, a great Chief God, would end up in such a predicament. He was a Chief God! How could he let himself die?

"You bastard!"

Despite being so furious and hateful that they were practically gnashing their teeth, both the Titan Chief God and the Angel Chief God knew that no amount of complaining or verbal abuse would help the situation in any way right now. The most pressing matter at the moment was to return to their divine bodies as soon they could. This way, they would survive!

At the very least, they would still be able to retain their positions as Chief Gods!

"Mister... No, sir, esteemed sir!"

The Angel Chief God did a huge 180-degree reversal and adopted the sincerest attitude he could ever adopt.

He said, "We were blind to have affronted you earlier. Please be magnanimous and let us off, sir! You'll definitely have our gratitude!"

"That's right, sir, please let us off! As long as you're willing to spare our lives, we'll satisfy any of your requests!"

The Titan Chief God also spoke up, his tone of voice fearful and panic-stricken to the extreme.

"Sir, I have innumerable precious and exotic treasures and existential plane fiefs. As long as you let us off, I'm happy to offer them up on a silv—"

"Do you actually think that your treasures and everything else you own will fall into someone else's hands after your deaths?" Meng Lei let out a contemptuous scoff and said, "Dream on!"

"No, you can't kill us! By the Chief God Treaty's rules, Chief Gods are prohibited from killing one another. Otherwise, they'll become all Chief Gods' public enemy..."

Chapter 395: Time Replay, The Godly Clans' Treasuries

"No, you can't kill us! By the Chief God Treaty's rules, Chief Gods are prohibited from killing one another. Otherwise, they'll become the public enemy of all Chief Gods! The four great juggernauts will never let you off!"

The three Chief Gods were in a total panic—or rather, they were close to despairing.

They were lofty Chief Gods. They still had a long, great life ahead of them. They still had innumerable rare and exotic treasures that they had yet to enjoy...

They didn't want to die!!

But they were utterly powerless against a Supreme Great Perfection deity that rivaled a higher Chief God. Thus, they could only pin their hopes on the Chief God Treaty right now!

"The Chief God Treaty?"

Meng Lei raised an eyebrow.

"The Chief God Treaty is a set of laws used to restrict all Chief Gods."

A smiling Moro explained, "There are as many as a total of 144 Chief Gods in the ten major Divine Realms and the supreme Celestial Realm. I mentioned this just now, but assimilating Chief God divine cores is the fastest means for a Chief God to strengthen themselves. To prevent powerful Chief Gods from hunting and robbing low-level Chief Gods of their Chief God divine cores, the four Juggernauts had jointly proposed the Chief God Treaty.

"The treaty prohibits Chief Gods from killing one another and robbing one another's Chief God divine cores. Once discovered, the four juggernauts are free to unite all the Chief Gods and jointly strike them down."

"I see," replied Meng Lei with a slight nod. "I didn't expect such a rule to exist."

"What, are you scared now?"

Moro watched Meng Lei mockingly and said, "There's nothing wrong even if you're scared. After all, we're talking about the four juggernauts uniting all the Chief Gods to jointly suppress someone. Anyone would be scared!"

"Scared? That word has never existed in my dictionary!" Meng Lei gave Moro a calm smile and said, "There isn't anyone in this whole wide world that scares me just yet!"

"Tsk, tsk! Gutsy, aren't you!"

Moro burst into loud laughter.

Meng Lei chuckled in response as well. Then, he attacked furiously with his divine spirit power and destroyed the three Chief Gods' divine spirits. He could also have used the Grim Reaper's Eye to kill the trio, but he chose not to do so.

Divine spirits destroyed by the Grim Reaper's Eye would be broken down and directly turned into the purest of divine spirit power. Should that happen, Meng Lei wouldn't be able to read the other party's memories.

A Chief God's memories was a treasure trove itself. Meng Lei didn't want to let it slip by him!

"No, no! You can't kill me!"

"I'm a Chief Go... Aaahhh!"

"Without your Chief God divine cores, all of you are nothing!"

Meng Lei crushed the three Chief Gods' divine spirits and began to read their memories in no time. Information began to flood his mind...

A long while later, Meng Lei finally released a pent-up breath. True to his expectations, a Chief God's memories was indeed a treasure trove. It didn't let him down at all.

The three major godly clans' treasuries!

And the three Chief Gods' personal treasuries, too!

These two types of treasuries alone would already contain an infinite amount of riches!

"I currently have 4,209 trillion Divinity Crystals. With another 800 trillion Divinity Crystals, I'll be able to buy credit for the third type of supreme laws of nature. By the time I fully comprehend three types of supreme laws of nature, who would be able to kill me?"

Meng Lei could no longer wait to ransack the three godly clans' treasuries!

But before that, I'll have to revive Puhaman, Fatty Hart, and the others first!

The moment the thought occurred to him, gentle golden light began to spill from Meng Lei's eyes once more, reversing the flow of time in the surroundings. As though a movie being played backward, the scenes in the void around him swiftly rewound. Soon, it returned to the moment before Puhaman, and the others were killed.

Only then did Meng Lei stop.

"Whew~"

Meng Lei panted heavily, beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead. His complexion had also turned rather pale. Evidently, turning back time just now hadn't been easy.

Indeed!

Despite having fully mastered time-based laws of nature, manipulating such supreme laws of nature nevertheless took a huge toll on his divine spirit, his power of divinity, and his divine body.

Meng Lei could sense that just that momentary usage of his powers just now had already taken an exceedingly great toll on his divine spirit power, his power of divinity, and his divine body. His body and his soul felt as if they had been emptied!

"My divine body and my divine spirit are still too weak."

Meng Lei muttered under his breath, "I must improve my divine body and my divine spirit when I've accumulated enough money. This way, it'll be a lot easier to manipulate supreme laws of nature."

Since time had returned to those few seconds before the three Chief Gods launched their ambush, Puhaman and the others naturally also came back to life.

However, their consciousnesses and their thoughts were still stuck at this moment. Therefore, they were completely unaware that they had died once. Neither did they have any knowledge about what had happened after that.

Meng Lei couldn't be bothered to explain, either. When all of them had picked up the scattered divine cores and spatial rings, the group embarked on their journey once more.

"Where do we go next, Master?"

Puhaman bowed as he asked. There was joy on his face—he had picked up a total of 29 divine cores and 37 spatial rings just now.

The divine cores aside, every single spatial ring contained vast amounts of Divinity Crystals. This was undoubtedly an amazing windfall, so how could he possibly not be overjoyed?

"We'll head to the Venus Colossal Dragon City first," replied Meng Lei.

Then, he cast the Great World-Breaching Transfer Technique straight away. The void was torn apart, forming a pitch-black dimensional channel that Meng Lei went straight into.

Whoosh!

By the time they reappeared, they had already crossed a great distance spanning a few hundred light-years and arrived right above the Venus Colossal Dragon City.

"This is... Venus Colossal Dragon City?"

"Weren't we in the Coiling Dragon Mountain Range just a moment ago? How come we've already reached Venus Colossal Dragon City in the blink of an eye? This... Am I hallucinating?"

Astonished, Puhaman and the others rubbed their eyes hard, unable to believe their eyes.

Fatty Hart even pinched himself hard on the thigh, causing him to grimace in pain.

"Hiss! It really is Venus Colossal Dragon City!"

"How did you do that, old bro?"

"Oh my goodness! We've crossed a distance of over 200 light-years in just an instant..."

"It's the Great World-Breaching Transfer Technique," replied Meng Lei casually, "You'll also be able to do it after you've comprehended spatial laws of nature."

"The Great World-Breaching Transfer Technique?"

"Spatial laws of nature?"

"Let's just forget about it!"

"It's impossible for us!"

Everyone was rendered speechless at once. One must know that spatial laws of nature was a type of supreme laws of nature. Comprehending spatial laws of nature? Them?

That was too big a fantasy. They didn't even dare to dream of something like that. They'd better just wash up and go to bed instead.

"A bunch of slackers!"

Meng Lei shook his head. Then, he went to the city lord's residence and ransacked the treasury there. His Wealth spiked by 500 trillion Divinity Crystals, bringing the total to 4,709 trillion Divinity Crystals.

"Next up is the Nidhogg clan's headquarters!"

Meng Lei cast the Great World-Breaching Transfer Technique and made his way there with nary a moment's pause. As he had already fully comprehended spatial laws of nature, his Great World-Breaching Transfer Technique's Transfer distance limit had greatly increased. Thus, he could cross a distance of thousands, even 10,000, of light-years in an instant.

If not for the fact that too great a distance would result in too huge an amount of power of divinity consumed, even crossing hundreds of thousands, or even a million, of light-years in an instant, wouldn't be any issue for Meng Lei!

This was what made the Great World-Breaching Transfer Technique so fearsome!

Or rather, this was what made spatial laws of nature so fearsome!

More than an hour later, Meng Lei finally arrived at the Nidhogg clan's headquarters, the Nidhogg Colossal Dragon Mountains.

The enormous mountain range, which stood in the Nidhogg Continent's very center, stretched on and undulated for light-years. Several mountain peaks reached high into the clouds, their stature majestic, tall, and straight.

Nidhogg clansmen inhabited every single mountain. After thousands upon thousands of years, the Nidhogg clan population had ultimately developed to an exceedingly dramatic state, and almost all of these people were living in the Nidhogg Colossal Dragon Mountains.

After reading the Nidhogg Chief God's memories, Meng Lei now knew that there were a total of 70,824,987 mountain peaks of varying sizes in the whole mountain range. Every mountain peak stretched on for a few light-years.

The Nidhogg Chief God occupied the highest peak. The clan treasury was also located there. As though he knew the place like the back of his hand, Meng Lei easily found the treasury.

When he arrived in front of the cave where the clan treasury was, he cast his Transfer Innate Special Ability straight away. For a while, the treasures in the treasury vanished into thin air one by one.

At the same time, his Wealth attribute in his stats interface also began to increase at an insane rate, breaking through the 5,000 trillion mark in no time and continuing to grow at high speed...

Chapter 396: Higher Chief God, The Chief God Tribunal

The Earth Divine Realm was boundless, with the ten godly clans ruling vast territories. The place ruled by the Eternal Gods was known as Eternal Island.

Although it was called an island, the Eternal Island's size was no less than any continent. It was surrounded by the sea, rich in magic elements and clear laws of nature, which were superior over any other places in the Earth Divine Realm.

In the center of Eternal Island sat a lake. There was a small island inside the lake, which was home to an extravagant palace.

Birds sang amid the fragrant, blooming flowers. The refreshing fragrance of flowers suffused the air around; it was the perfect paradise.

The doors of the palace were wide open. Deep in the palace sat a gorgeous lady with two tender antennas on her forehead. It was similar to those of a Namekian[1]. Other than that, she was no different than an ordinary person.

This beautiful lady was the Chief God of the Earth Divine Realm's Eternal Gods—Chief God Vados.

There were ten Chief Gods in the Earth Divine Realm—six lesser Chief Gods, three intermediate Chief Gods, and one higher Chief God.

Chief God Vados was that higher Chief God and probably the strongest and most talented. She enjoyed the most venerable status in the Earth Divine Realm.

It was common knowledge that for a Chief God to progress, they would need to either assimilate Chief God divine cores or comprehend the supreme laws of nature. Since the Chief God divine cores were near-impossible to obtain, comprehension of supreme laws of nature became the only route to the next level.

A lesser Chief God only needed to comprehend a fraction of the supreme laws of nature to become an intermediate Chief God.

An intermediate Chief God only needed to comprehend half of the supreme laws of nature to become a higher Chief God.

Hence, a lesser Chief God had no comprehension of supreme laws of nature, an intermediate Chief God comprehended some supreme laws of nature, and a higher Chief God comprehended half of the supreme laws of nature.

This was different from Ancient Gods—a low-level Ancient God had no comprehension of laws of nature, so they were weaker than a Chief God. A mid-level Ancient God comprehended some supreme laws of nature, thus matching a lesser Chief God. A high-level Ancient God comprehended half of the supreme laws of nature, thus matching an intermediate Chief God. A Supreme Ancient God had a complete comprehension of the supreme laws of nature, thus matching a higher Chief God.

Hence, the difference a Chief God divine core could make was immense. It could either level the difference between a Chief God and a Great Perfection deity or pull away from that distance between them.

As a higher Chief God, Vados was an extraordinary prodigy who was already halfway through in her comprehension of the supreme laws of nature. She was an incredibly powerful existence amongst the Chief Gods.

If she could completely comprehend the life laws of nature, she would become the fifth ever Juggernaut of the universe, on an equal footing with the other four Juggernauts.

For this day to come sooner, Vados stayed in the Eternal Lake all year round to comprehend the tremendous life laws of nature. Without any accidents, she rarely stepped out of the Eternal Lake while no one dared to disturb her.

This day, however, Chief God Vados was disturbed as colorful light beams dazzled from a mural in the palace abruptly.

In the next moment, a burly figure stumbled out of the mural and dropped onto his knees in front of Chief God Vados.

"Greetings, Your Holiness!"

Vados opened her eyes slowly. Her sapphire eyes were like a mysterious sea gleaming with deep secrets. She broke into a frown as she gazed at the burly figure kneeling on the floor.

"Nidhogg, what matter made you lose your cool like this? You're a Chief God. There's no need to bow to me." Her voice was slightly hoarse.

"Your Holiness, you have to avenge me!" Nidhogg looked in pain. "I was killed brutally by a knave, and he took away my Chief God divine core. Now, I'm only left with this remnant soul. How am I still a Chief God?"

"You were killed?" Vados sprung up as a gleam flashed in his eyes. "Who dared to hunt down a Chief God?"

"It was a Supreme Great Perfection deity!"

Nidhogg's eyes were blood-red as he recounted everything that had happened and ended off by saying, "That knave has completely comprehended the time-based laws of nature, so he's really strong! I hope Your Holiness can report this to the four Juggernauts to open the Chief God Tribunal to take this knave down and do justice for us!"

"Completely comprehended the time-based laws of nature?"

Vados' expression changed quickly. "How is this possible? The time-based laws of nature are the publicly acknowledged hardest of the five supreme laws of nature. Even the cultivation method is unknown to this day. How could he comprehend it and even in its entirety?"

"It's true, Your Holiness!"

At that moment, two other figures dashed out of the mural—the Titan Chief God and the Angel Chief God killed by Meng Lei previously.

Although they were not like Nidhogg, whose face was full of tears and snot, their eyes were red as well. "This knave has indeed comprehended the time-based laws of nature!"

Vados went silent as torrential waves surged and churned in her heart. She could never have imagined that someone could comprehend or even fully comprehend the time-based laws of nature. It was simply ridiculous.

After a long silence, Vados finally said slowly, "To be able to completely comprehend the time-based laws of nature means that the opponent's capability has reached unbelievable heights, which I cannot handle alone. Since it's come to this, I can only report to the four Juggernauts and open the Chief God Tribunal."

"How wise, Your Holiness!"

As the Divinity Crystals, Laws of Nature Origin Crystals, and other things that the system could receive were collected from the treasury, Meng Lei's wealth surged once again.

Meng Lei swept a glance at the stats interface and put up a satisfied smile.

Afterward, he started collecting a dazzling array of items like divine weapons, precious herbs, and medicines, and other treasures as Puhaman and the rest watched on.

Many treasures were immensely valuable to their cultivation, like the Crystallized Divine Spirit Extracts and Soul Ice Marrows that could enhance their divine spirits.

These things were useless for Meng Lei, thus benefiting Puhaman and the others. Meng Lei waved his arm and split these treasures among them.

"Thank you, Master!"

"Thank you, Master!"

Puhaman and the rest were ecstatic as they kept the treasures and divine weapons while they directly consumed the Crystallized Divine Spirit Extracts.

Boom, boom, boom!

They were higher deities with powerful divine spirits. Thus the effect of the Crystallized Divine Spirit Extract was not obvious. It was overwhelming due to the quantity nevertheless.

As large amounts of Crystallized Divine Spirit Extracts were consumed, their divine spirits were enhanced at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Elementary-level higher deity...

Middle-level higher deity...

High-level higher deity!

Once all the Crystallized Divine Spirit Extracts were finished, Puhaman, Fatty Hart, Thaniel, Bubbles, Mervyn, Pursuer, Nadja, Seisia, Galen, the Spider Goddess, the Dark Fairy Empress, the Dark Snapping Turtle King, and Sacas had all enhanced their divine spirits to the level of a high-level higher deity.

They were all high-level higher deities!

This was normal since it was the Nidhogg Colossal Dragon Gods' accumulation of Crystallized Divine Spirit Extracts for the usage by tens of thousands of their clans' experts. It would be natural to possess an unimaginable amount of them.

Emery Philmore watched quietly from the side. He was so full of envy and jealousy that his features became distorted.

He wanted to become one of them badly and receive the same rewards. It was only a pity that Meng Lei had not yet seen Emery as his follower. Hence, these treasures were naturally not meant for Emery.

"Haha, I feel so powerful!"

"My divine cognition can now spread to 10 million kilometers easily!"

"This enhancement is really great..."

Everyone had a sense of their divine spirit as they were enhanced by many times, a cause for their increasing excitement.

The way that they released their divine spirit energy waves in an unbridled manner attracted the attention of the Nidhogg Colossal Dragon Gods. Numerous figures shot out from everywhere around the mountains to surround the group.

"Who are you?"

"How bold of you to trespass into our Nidhogg Colossal Dragon Gods headquarters!"

"Come! Take down these knaves!"

This was the Nidhogg Colossal Dragon Gods' headquarters, where almost all of the clan's experts were gathered. Out of which, there was no lack of high-level higher deities and even super experts, who were extremely close to Great Perfection deities.

Tens of thousands of experts surrounded them, blotting out the sky and covering the earth!

Chapter 397: Space Exchange, Ten Thousand-Tentacled Serpent

Fury filled the Nidhogg clansmen! Immense fury!

This was their, the Nidhogg clan's, headquarters, a place that even people from the clan such as themselves didn't dare to enter so casually, let alone a bunch of thieves.

Yet that same bunch of thieves that had popped out of nowhere was doing as they pleased in the Colossal Dragon Mountain and burglarizing their Nidhogg clan treasury! This was unforgivable!

"Kill them!"

"Kill those thieves! Show them the consequences of making trouble here!"

Boom, boom, boom!

Trillions of Nidhogg clansmen attacked at once. Various attacks pelted Meng Lei and the others from all directions as though meteors shooting across the sky.

The attacks' terrifying might and momentum, as well as their fearsome, all-engulfing destructiveness, made Puhaman and the others' expressions change greatly.

They cried out in their minds, "Help, Master!"

Although they had become significantly stronger, they nevertheless had no chance of withstanding attacks from trillions of people. Thus, they could only pin their hopes on their noble master.

Meng Lei did not disappoint. Two soft, gentle golden light rays surged forth from his eyes, sweeping across the terrifying attacks that filled the sky. He uttered, "Time Freeze!"

Buzz!

Time instantly froze for everything that entered his sight. The attacks also froze in mid-air and became completely still.

"Here, I'll return these attacks to all of you!"

Meng Lei toned down the gentle golden light in his eyes. What replaced them was instead an incredibly bright and dazzling silver light. Then, he uttered, "Space Exchange!"

The very next second, Meng Lei and the others instantly vanished from where they were, whereas the trillions of Nidhogg clansmen instead bizarrely showed up at where Meng Lei and the others had previously been.

The two parties... had exchanged positions!

Meng Lei then dispelled Time Freeze, upon which the waves of attacks continued to sweep forward at once.

"What's going on?"

"No... No!"

"Run!"

Boom!

Run?

There was no way they could, of course!

The avalanche of attacks instantly engulfed the Nidhogg clansmen, and they bore the full brunt of their own attacks amid despair, fear, shock, and indignation.

Smoke and dust swirled about as fiery sparks flew.

Thunder rumbled, and lightning flashed as chilly ice twinkled in the light.

"This..."

"How did that happen?"

"How did you do that, Master?"

Stupefied, Puhaman and the others stared dazedly at the Nidhogg clansmen who were currently being engulfed by their own attacks. Why were the other party's attacks blasting themselves instead?

"Through the use of spatial laws of nature."

A calm smile appeared on Meng Lei's lips as he said, "I need only to switch the space we occupy with the enemy's and exchange our positions, and they'll unavoidably suffer their own attacks."

"Spatial laws of nature!"

"No wonder it's so powerful!"

"So, it's actually spatial laws of nature!"

Realization dawned upon Puhaman and the others, and their admiration and worship of Meng Lei grew even stronger. First time-based laws of nature, and now spatial laws of nature. To think their master had actually comprehended two types of supreme laws of nature! He was simply too impressive, too grand and noble.

The smoke and dust gradually dispersed, and the sky returned to its original state.

Puhaman and the others were stunned at the sight before their eyes. Countless Nidhogg clansmen had perished. They were either blasted into dust, blown into pieces, left with half their body, or missing an arm or a leg. The minority whose bodies were still intact were also riddled with wounds.

The battlefield was an extremely tragic sight.

% of them had died on the spot, while 39% of them were maimed.

The remaining 1%, who were the strongest of the lot, was more or less unscathed, but all of them had already been taken over by shock and horror in this instant.

They had clearly been attacking Meng Lei and the others, yet they had ended up being engulfed by their own attacks in the end.

This was simply too horrifying, too frightening, and too bizarre!

"How did this happen?"

Shock and horror filled the bloodshot eyes of a super expert who was infinitely close to becoming a Great Perfection deity. His shock was because the situation with the attacks just now had been simply too bizarre, while his fury was because the Nidhogg clan had suffered immensely great casualties and fatalities.

Indeed!

The clan's many experts were the mainstays of the clan that they had accumulated over a long passage of time. They were an important military force that they, the Nidhogg clan, had depended on in order to dominate the Earth Divine Realm.

Yet, they had almost been annihilated. How could this possibly not shock or anger him?

"Who exactly are all of you?!"

The super expert glared furiously at Meng Lei and the others. He demanded, "Aren't you afraid that our great Chief God will seek revenge upon you for provoking and humiliating the Nidhogg clan like this?!"

"The Chief God's revenge? Hah!" A slight smile appeared on Meng Lei's countenance as he said, "I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you because it's impossible for your great Chief God to ever return."

"What?"

The super expert was taken aback by Meng Lei's response.

Meng Lei, however, couldn't be bothered to explain. A Netherworld Spear shot out of nowhere, instantly piercing through the area in between the super expert's brows and killing him on the spot.

"Grand Elder!!"

At the sight, immense fury filled the remaining Nidhogg clansmen. Their eyes were full of hatred as they glared at Meng Lei. They shouted, "We'll fight it out with him! We must avenge the Grand Elder!"

It was just a shame that before they could even charge toward Meng Lei, they instead welcomed an overwhelming number of Netherworld Spears. Countless tricolored spears engulfed the remaining experts like a densely packed rain of arrows.

Stab, stab, stab!

A round of spears later, all of them were dead.

"I'll leave the rest to you guys," instructed Meng Lei before he left.

"Wahaha!"

Puhaman and the others exchanged looks, and then, they got down to work right away. All the Nidhogg experts might be dead, but their divine cores and spatial rings were still around. These were treasures!

"Stop grabbing them!"

"Don't anyone dare fight with me for them!"

"I'll fight whoever fights me for them!"

Thus, a grand treasure-grabbing party ensued while Meng Lei headed toward the highest point of the mountain peak where the Nidhogg Chief God's personal treasury was.

A majestic palace stood erect at the mountain peak—it was none other than the Nidhogg Chief God's shrine. Fully crafted from the most expensive Divinity Stones in the Divine Realms, the hall was grand and lavish, extravagant and eye-dazzling. Dozens of divine beast statues lined the sides while a grand throne sat in the deepest depths of the place.

The entire shrine was incredibly lavish and extravagant, but Meng Lei wasn't interested in these in the least. Instead, he walked straight toward the throne, stopped right in front of it, and pressed a switch on it.

Krak, krak, krak...

The area in front of the throne lit up to reveal a teleportation magic circle. Meng Lei stepped into the magic circle and disappeared from the shrine. By the time he reappeared, he had arrived in an odd and unusual dimension.

The dimension wasn't very big, stretching only for roughly 100 kilometers or so. One could see right to the end in one glance. The place was empty and didn't house any lifeforms at all.

This particular dimension could only be considered an alternate dimension at the very best. It didn't even count as a half-plane. However, it was in no way ordinary because the Nidhogg Chief God's personal treasury was located right here.

As a Chief God, one of the loftiest existences in the whole wide universe, not a lot of treasures could make the cut in the Nidhogg Chief God's eyes. Thus, there weren't a lot of treasures in the alternate dimension. Dozens of boxes of varying sizes were placed on top of one another in stacks, making the place appear exceptionally shabby and dowdy.

Meng Lei was a little disappointed. Nevertheless, he still walked over to the first box and began to check it out. He opened the box, revealing a crystal ball within.

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

The system's notification abruptly rang out at this point.

Surprised, Meng Lei then noticed a grayish light ball sitting quietly in front of the crystal ball.

"Yes, pick it up!"

"Ding! Pickup successful. You have obtained the Ten Thousand-Tentacled Serpent bloodline. Will you assimilate it?"

"The Ten Thousand-Tentacled Serpent bloodline?"

Chapter 398: The Void Beast, The Boundless Great Beast

"What kind of creature is the Ten Thousand-Tentacled Serpent, Moro?"

Knowing that it was pointless to pose questions to the system, Meng Lei decided to consult Moro instead. There was nothing that that old antique that had survived the last era didn't know.

"The Ten Thousand-Tentacled Serpent bloodline?"

Moro turned into a wisp of black smoke and manifested in front of Meng Lei. He remarked in surprise, "Where did you hear about the Ten Thousand-Tentacled Serpent from? Most people aren't aware of an ancient creature like that."

"If I'm not wrong, this crystal ball here is likely some kind of organ from the Ten Thousand-Tentacled Serpent. It's most likely its eyeball," explained Meng Lei.

Other creatures would never drop the Ten Thousand-Tentacled Serpent bloodline. Only the Ten Thousand-Tentacled Serpent itself or any of its organs would drop its bloodline.

There was no doubt about that.

"You can actually conclude that this is the Ten Thousand-Tentacled Serpent's eyeball when you don't even know what it is? You're seriously a riot!" mocked Moro teasingly.

Then, his gaze fell onto the crystal ball in the box, and he said, "Your blind guess is actually correct, though! This really is the Ten Thousand-Tentacled Serpent's eyeball."

What's there for me to make a freaking blind guess about? I gained that knowledge through my own abilities, alright?

Meng Lei urged huffily, "C'mon, stop saying these useless things and tell me about the Ten Thousand-Tentacled Serpent instead!"

Moro chuckled and started to explain. He said, "You should know that the vast universe has birthed countless powerful lifeforms such as deities, divine beasts, demons, devils, the Undead, and so on. No matter whether these lifeforms are powerful or not, they are all entities produced by the existential planes. Therefore, we also call these creatures Existential Plane Lifeforms."

Meng Lei nodded slightly. Be it deities, demons, or even mortals, it was the existential planes that gave birth to all these lifeforms. There was no doubt about that.

"However, there's also one particular life-form in the vast universe that isn't produced by existential planes but born to the vast Void itself instead," added Moro.

"Born to the vast Void itself?" A surprised Meng Lei asked, "Can the Void give birth to lives, too?"

What was there in the Void?

There was no air!

No magic elements!

No animals or plants!

There was nothing at all!

There was only endless, boundless darkness, the freezing cold, dead silence, and... Nothingness itself. Can a world like that, one that didn't have anything at all, actually also give birth to lives?

"Nothing is absolute in this world."

A lofty smile appeared on Moro's countenance, and he said, "Even though the Void is a world of nothingness, where it's immensely difficult to give birth to life, there is a lifeform that exactly originated from the Void itself."

"What kind of life-form is that?" asked Meng Lei curiously.

"The Void Beast!"

Moro, who was all smiles, explained, "The Void Beast is a fearsome life-form born to the Void. There are very, very few of them, but every single Void Beast possesses incredibly strong and vigorous life force and terrifying power.

"You should know that the Void is a world of nothingness. Food is extremely scarce there, and the environment is also exceedingly terrible. Even people like the Chief Gods greatly dislike the environment in the Void. Thus, you can imagine for yourself just how fearsome the lifeforms such an adverse environment gives birth to are!"

"Exactly how fearsome are the Void Beasts?" asked Meng Lei curiously.

"Void Beasts do not cultivate laws of nature but just their bodies, so they have extremely strong and powerful bodies. There are many types of Void Beasts, though, and there are great differences in strength among the various types of Void Beasts. Among them, the most powerful ones are fully capable of contending with the Supreme Juggernauts."

A smiling Moro explained, "Of course, Void Beasts capable of contending with the Supreme Juggernauts are extremely rare. There are only a few of them even in the entire universe."

"They can contend with the juggernauts?" A huge jolt went through Meng Lei as he asked, "How strong must their bodies be?"

"Very, very strong! Unimaginably strong! Compared to the Void Beasts, the Titans, Behemoths, and Giant Elephants are practically babies!"

Moro sighed emotionally and said, "You haven't seen much of the world, so you wouldn't know how strong a Void Beast is. Even so, you should have heard of a certain man."

"Who?"

Meng Lei was puzzled.

"The Boundless King!"

Moro said, "Surely you must have heard of this name before? I'm going to seriously look down on you if you don't even know this name!"

A wry smile came over Meng Lei's features at once, and he replied, "Of course I have. I've even met his divine spirit fragment and received all the treasures that he'd accumulated throughout his entire life!"

"Eh?"

Taken aback, Moro asked, "You can't be that savage murderer that obtained the Boundless King's treasure and even slaughtered a million gods and demons, can you?"

Meng Lei was also taken aback. He asked, "How did you know?"

"Duh! Your notoriety has already spread throughout the whole wide universe after that Boundless Plane battle!"

Moro clicked his tongue in wonder as he marveled, "I was even pretty puzzled at that time and had wondered whether the Boundless King had come back to life. Otherwise, how could the gods and demons possibly suffer such a great loss?"

"That's because those gods and demons were too weak," scoffed Meng Lei.

"True! Compared to you, they are certainly weaklings."

Moro nodded in agreement. Then, he asked, "Since you've come into close contact with the Boundless King before, then you should be aware of how fearsome that guy is, right?"

Meng Lei nodded slightly and replied, "His body rivals a Supreme Juggernaut's. It's certainly terrifying."

"Well, do you know that the Boundless King is actually a Void Beast, then?" asked Moro leisurely.

A look of stupefaction came over Meng Lei's features, and he asked, "The Boundless King is a Void Beast? What kind of joke is that?"

"I suppose that's not quite right, either. To be more accurate, he's a deity that took over the body of a Void Beast."

Moro corrected himself and said, "The Void Beast whose body he had stolen is known as the Boundless Great Beast. Boundless Great Beasts are one of the strongest Void Beasts, and an adolescent or younger is already capable of contending with a juggernaut."

"The Boundless King... had stolen a Boundless Great Beast's body?"

Meng Lei was somewhat filled with disbelief.

"Every powerful life-form starts out weak and only becomes stronger one step at a time. Void Beasts are no exception, either. The Boundless King was lucky enough to find a juvenile Boundless Great Beast. He successfully stole its body and ultimately matured into someone that reached the heights of a Supreme Juggernaut."

Moro shook his head with a smile and went on. "It's just a shame that his emergence ended up threatening the four Supreme Juggernauts' positions, so they used his Void Beast identity as an excuse to unite all the Chief Gods and killed him. It could be said that both his success and defeat were built upon the Boundless Great Beast."

"The four Supreme Juggernauts are so shameless!"

Meng Lei was rather indignant.

"They wouldn't be the four Supreme Juggernauts if they weren't!"

Moro chuckled lightly as he shook his head. Then, he went on and said, "They didn't kill the Boundless King solely because he had threatened their positions, though."

"Did other factors also play a part?"

Meng Lei was puzzled.

"Void Beasts are different from divine beasts."

Moro explained, "Divine beasts don't fear thirst and hunger, but that's not the case for Void Beasts. No matter how strong they are, they still need to constantly feed in order to secure the energy that their powerful body needs to function. The Boundless King, who had stolen a Boundless Great Beast's body, is no exception to this.

"You can't possibly imagine how voracious an appetite an adult Boundless Great Beast has. If they had allowed the Boundless King to feed as he pleased, the whole universe would have been eaten by him a long time ago! Therefore, he had to die."

"To think there's also a reason like that!"

Meng Lei found this rather inconceivable.

"Every Void Beast has a voracious appetite. They usually leave behind an expanse of nothingness in their wake. Thus, they are also known as the Beasts of Destruction."

Moro said with a sigh, "As a result, Void Beasts are the common enemy of both gods and demons. It's entirely possible for gods and demons to team up and fight against Void Beasts."

"Beasts of Destruction..."

Meng Lei was rather astounded.

"In comparison, the Ten Thousand-Tentacled Serpent is a relatively common Void Beast species."

Moro explained, "An adult Ten Thousand-Tentacled Serpent's body is as enormous as a low-end existential plane. It has 10,000 heads and 10,000 tails and is thus known as the Ten Thousand-Tentacled Serpent."

"As big as a low-end existential plane?!" Meng Lei gasped, "Isn't that a little too big?!"

"Big? Ha, you call this big?"

Moro let out a contemptuous scoff and said, "That's only because you haven't seen a truly colossal Void Beast yet. When you do, you won't say that the Ten Thousand-Tentacled Serpent is big anymore!"

Chapter 399: Breaking The Seal, Black Phoenix Demon Grandmaster

The Ten Thousand-Tentacled Serpent had the size of a low-end existential plane.

,000 heads and 10,000 tails; how huge was that?

Yet, in Moro's eyes, the Ten Thousand-Tentacled Serpent was still nothing worth mentioning. Meng Lei simply could not imagine how the strongest Void Beasts would look like.

"In the future, I hope to get the chance to witness the true appearance of the Void Beast." A look of longing appeared in Meng Lei's eyes.

"That chance will come."

Meng Lei started to check the second box.

As the box was opened, a meter-long broken sword entered his sight. It was three inches wide, while its surface gave off a chilly glint. Even Meng Lei could feel a biting chill that went all the way into his bones.

Unfortunately, it was broken in half.

Meng Lei held the broken sword in his hand and sliced across his finger gently. A nail came off with ease.

Meng Lei was shocked.

His divine body was comparable to a lesser Chief God whose nails were incredibly tough. He did not expect that the broken sword could slice through his nail so easily, proving its sharpness.

"This is an incomplete higher Chief God-level weapon! Even though there's only half of it, its sharpness is still at the level of a higher Chief God-level weapon!" Moro exclaimed.

"Good!"

Meng Lei kept the broken sword and opened the next box.

Whoosh!

Just as the box opened, a blinding red light shot out from within. At the same time, an incredibly bloodthirsty, evil, horrifying aura spread around quickly, ravaging the entire alternate dimension. Only those powerful enough like Meng Lei could withstand such aura. If it were Puhaman and the rest, they would have been infatuated by this bloodthirsty aura... entering the path of evil!

"That's—"

Meng Lei looked inside and saw a beating heart lying in the middle of the box. The amazing thing was that even if it was by itself, it was beating like normal.

It was... alive!

"That's a Demon Grandmaster's heart." Moro took a glance. "From its aura, it should be the heart of the Bloodseeker's ancestors, likely cut down during the war between gods and demons."

A Demon Grandmaster was the Chief God of Demons.

The Bloodseeker ancestor would naturally be a Bloodseeker Demon Grandmaster.

"No wonder it could become a part of the Nidhogg Chief God's collection. It's the Bloodseeker Demon Grandmaster's heart, after all," Meng Lei remarked.

The third box was opened.

A scythe that was fully blood-red in color and emitted a deathly aura entered his eyes. Meng Lei recognized it immediately.

"This is a Grim Reaper Scythe," Moro explained with a smile. "It's a Chief God-level Grim Reaper Scythe, so it should be useful for you."

"Indeed."

Meng Lei took out the Grim Reaper Scythe and refined it directly, turning it into his weapon. He then threw the previous one into his spatial ring. It was too weak, and it was time to eliminate it.

The surface of the fourth box was densely packed with laws of nature runes inscribed all over it. Given his understanding and comprehension of the laws of nature, Meng Lei knew the sole purpose of these laws of nature runes—a seal.

"What is sealed inside exactly?"

Meng Lei broke the laws of nature seal.

Boom!

The box shook vigorously, and it intensified further and further as if something was smashing the box from inside in an attempt to break out of the seal.

"Eh?"

Meng Lei and Moro exchanged a look, both seeing the astonishment in each other's eyes. "What's sealed within this box?"

"Must be something extraordinary!"

"Duh! How can something sealed by a Chief God be ordinary—"

Boom!

The box could no longer hold what was inside without the seal. The box exploded as black flames shot out of it.

"Kekeke! I'm out! I'm finally out! Kekeke!"

The black flame jumped up and down, spreading out and gathering from time to time. It laughed out loud, venting out its joy and excitement like a lunatic.

"What the heck is this?"

Meng Lei looked at Moro.

"Judging from its might, that must be a Chief God." Moro smiled faintly. "It should be a Black Phoenix."

"Dark Phoenix?" Meng Lei paused. "You mean the Black Phoenix of the demons?"

"That's right!"

The truth was as Moro expected. After a bout of excitement, the black flame finally calmed down and transformed into a five-meter-high black phoenix.

Its appearance was extremely similar to a Divine Netherworld Phoenix's, but its aura was entirely different.

The Divine Netherworld Phoenixes were mighty and imposing, but this Black Phoenix had the aura of bloodlust and evilness.

It was evident from their flames. The Divine Netherworld Phoenix's Netherworld Divine Fire was the flame of extreme heat that could burn enemies till their death. As for the Black Phoenix's fire, extreme cold would be the fitting description.

One was hot.

The other cold.

They were two absolute extremes.

There was another difference between them. Although the Divine Netherworld Phoenixes' habitant was the Netherworld, it was a divine beast with the same cultivation methods as other deities and divine beasts. On the other hand, the Black Phoenix was a demon that mainly devoured other demons for its cultivation.

One was a divine beast.

The other a demon.

"So you're the one who released me?" The Black Phoenix flew in front of Meng Lei as it sized him up with its blood-colored eyes. A hint of surprise flashed across its eyes. "Why are you here? Where's that Nidhogg?"

"I'm the one who released you." Meng Lei nodded slightly. "As for Nidhogg, he's dead."

"He's dead?"

A jolt went through the Black Phoenix as it exclaimed, "How did that fellow die? He's a Chief God. Who could've killed him? Was there another war between gods and demons?"

"No wars, I killed him," Meng Lei answered casually. "Since I've saved you, how are you going to repay me?"

"You killed that fellow?"

The Black Phoenix looked shocked as it stared at Meng Lei. "You're lying! You're merely a lesser Chief God, so how could you kill that Nidhogg fellow? Just spit it out! Who are you, and why are you here?"

"I don't care whether you believe it or not." Meng Lei did not plan to explain himself. "Now tell me how you're going to repay me. If your answer isn't satisfying enough, I don't mind putting you back in that box!"

"Hehe! Repay you? You're asking a demon to repay you?" The Black Phoenix let out a cold snort. "Since you're asking for repayment, let me repay you properly then! Arctic Flames!"

It sprayed a black dragon-shaped flame out of its mouth, and it pounced at Meng Lei. It was clear that it wanted to 'burn' Meng Lei to death.

"You're courting death!"

Meng Lei sneered as a silver glint flashed across his eyes. The black dragon flame paused mid-air in an instant.

Immediately after, Meng Lei snapped his finger as a Netherworld Spear shot toward the Black Phoenix.

"The Netherworld Divine Fire! So you're one of those damn bastards!"

The Black Phoenix snorted as it was about to counter with its wings. However, it realized that its body could no longer move—its wings could not flap, its mouth could not open, its brain could not work...

"What's going on?"

The Black Phoenix was stunned.

"How dare a mere lesser Demon Grandmaster to behave so audaciously in my presence!"

Meng Lei scoffed as he waved his arm. The Netherworld Spear pierced right through the chest of the Black Phoenix, turning into raging flames that burned intensely.

"Aahhh!"

Meng Lei's Netherworld Divine Fire had already evolved into its ultimate form. Plus, as his metal-origin, wood-origin, and thunder-origin divine body reached the Great Mastery level, the Netherworld Divine Fire was further enhanced.

The current Netherworld Divine Fire was way more powerful than one from a Divine Netherworld Phoenix that had risen from its ashes nine times. How could a Black Phoenix withstand that?

Chapter 400: That Thing, Becoming A Mount

"Aahhh!"

The Black Phoenix let out a shrill cry that chilled one to their bones. From this, one could tell just what kind of intense ordeal the Chief God-level Black Phoenix was currently experiencing.

"Your Netherworld Divine Fire is so powerful!" Moro couldn't help but give praise. "To think even a lesser Chief God-level Black Phoenix can't withstand it!"

"Of course!"

The Netherworld Divine Fire blazed more and more fervently as time passed. Its might also grew increasingly terrifying, causing the Black Phoenix's cries to become increasingly shrill and tragic.

"Stop it! Hurry and stop it!"

Finally, the Black Phoenix could no longer take it anymore, and it began to cry out loudly and hoarsely.

"Stop? Give me a reason why I should?"

Meng Lei chuckled.

"Damn it!"

Immense resentment filled the Black Phoenix. It was the Black Phoenix grandmaster, the ancestor of all Black Phoenixes. When had anyone ever tormented it like that before?

But when one was under someone else's eaves, how could they not bow to their circumstances?

"I'm the ancestor of the Black Phoenixes! You're not allowed to kill me! I have something that you want!"

The Black Phoenix shouted, "The reason why that Nidhogg fellow hadn't killed me back then was precisely because he wanted me to tell him that thing's whereabouts!"

"That thing?"

Meng Lei cocked an eyebrow and said, "Well, why don't you tell me what that thing is, then?"

"I'll tell you as long as you agree to let me off!" replied the Black Phoenix in an attempt to bargain.

"You actually dare to bargain with me?"

Meng Lei let out an icy laugh. He wasn't concerned about that so-called object at all. When one reached a cultivation stage like his, there was pretty much nothing that could move him anymore.

"You—"

Lost for words, the Black Phoenix was infuriated. That goddamn bastard! To think he actually didn't fall for it! That was too much of him!

"What must I do before you release me?"

The Black Phoenix barked in a low voice, "I'll say this upfront—I was heavily injured during the previous war between the gods and demons by a few Chief Gods who had teamed up against me. All the treasures on me have been cleanly looted. I don't have anything else apart from that thing anymore!"

"Now, that's more like the attitude that someone who's pleading for mercy should have."

Meng Lei dispelled the Netherworld Divine Fire scorching the Black Phoenix with a wave and said, "You certainly have nothing except yourself now, but I feel that you still have something that's most precious."

"What?" The Black Phoenix was slightly taken aback by Meng Lei's words.

"Your life."

An aloof smile appeared on Meng Lei's countenance, and he said, "You're pretty strong, and your appearance would somewhat do. I just so happen to lack a mount, so I can give you a chance."

"What? You want me to become your mount?!"

As though it were a cat whose tail had been stepped on, the Black Phoenix roared hysterically, "You actually want the great, honorable Black Phoenix grandmaster to become your mount? You're humiliating the great Black Phoenix grandmaster and antagonizing the demons by doing that!"

"Are you unwilling? In that case, you can just go to hell!"

A cold look came over Meng Lei's visage, and he said, "No matter how noble you once were, everything is gone with the wind and will cease to exist once you're dead."

Screeeech!

The Black Phoenix transformed into a black streak of light that shot straight toward the alternate dimension's boundaries—evidently, it was intending to escape the alternate dimension while Meng Lei's guard was down.

There was an extremely high chance that the Black Phoenix would succeed. With its—the ancestor of all Black Phoenixes—speed, there was no way the average Chief God would be able to stop it. Thus, it could escape successfully.

"Thinking of fleeing?"

Meng Lei couldn't help but laugh. He remarked, "It's trying to flee, Moro."

"Indeed it is!" Moro also broke into a smile. "It's just a shame that it's going to find itself disappointed."

"It can't be helped. Ain't nothing we can do if it's completely ignorant about the concept of speed itself."

Meng Lei shook his head slightly and took a step forward. The Black Phoenix had reached the alternate dimension's boundaries by this point. Unable to withstand the Black Phoenix's immense power, the fragile dimensional walls broke and formed a black hole.

The Black Phoenix dived right through it and entered the boundless Void.

"I did it!"

As though a weight had been lifted off its shoulders, the Black Phoenix completely relaxed upon noticing that it had entered the boundless Void. It would be safe once it left the alternate dimension and came to the Void. It was confident that no one could stop it once it had entered the Void.

"That damned Nidhogg! And that bastard, too! This grandmaster will never let you off! Hmph!"

Upon sensing where the supreme Netherworld was, the Black Phoenix flapped its wings and began to race in that direction at the highest speed it could muster. It had been sealed for too long a time, and now it wished only to return to the Netherworld, to the Black Phoenixes, and to the home it had been away from for so long as soon as possible.

Yet it was exactly at this moment that a mocking voice suddenly rang out beside its ear.

"Black Phoenix grandmaster, where do you think you're going?"

"Back home, of cou—"

The Black Phoenix grandmaster replied without even a second thought, only sensing something amiss while in the midst of doing so. It hastily swerved its head to the side to see a seemingly amused Meng Lei watching it with his arms folded. Meng Lei stayed securely beside it as he followed the Black Phoenix, though it seemed that he wasn't even really flying?

He isn't flying? Yet he can keep up with me?

"Damn it!"

Frightened witless at the sight of Meng Lei, the Black Phoenix grandmaster flapped its wings desperately. Its speed instantly spiked, and it left Meng Lei in the dust as it raced forward.

But before it could heave a sigh of relief, Meng Lei appeared beside it once more. He said, "Black Phoenix grandmaster, cease your struggling. There's no way you can escape."

"You bastard!"

Almost driven nuts by Meng Lei, the Black Phoenix grandmaster promptly burned its magic power, causing its speed to spike again.

It was just a shame that it was all in vain, however.

"You sure are risking it all!"

Meng Lei appeared again.

"You bastard! Knock it off!"

With that, the Black Phoenix grandmaster went completely berserk. It turned around and attacked right away, its sharp claws and beak furiously going after Meng Lei.

Meng Lei had only one move in response—Space Confinement!

Buzz!

Spatial laws of nature energy waves manifested, instantly confining the Black Phoenix grandmaster to the spot. Its attacks were but just mere inches away from Meng Lei at this moment.

"Damn it! I can't move!"

The Black Phoenix grandmaster turned pale from shock. It struggled fiercely, but it couldn't even budge an inch while confined by spatial laws of nature.

"These are... Spatial laws of nature?" The Black Phoenix grandmaster stared at Meng Lei in disbelief. "You've comprehended spatial laws of nature? You're an intermediate Chief God?"

"No, I'm a higher Chief God." An aloof smile appeared on Meng Lei's face as he said, "Therefore, you're no different from a weak, lowly grasshopper that's hopping here and there in front of me. You believe that you're spirited and full of vigor while you hop about, but little do you know that I can easily squash you dead like a bug with just a fingertip."

The Black Phoenix grandmaster's face turned completely sullen at Meng Lei's words.

"What exactly do you want?"

"Be my mount. Otherwise... Die!"

Meng Lei stated coldly.

"Ever since the birth of the vast universe itself, not a single Demon Grandmaster has ever served as someone else's mount!" The Black Phoenix grandmaster's voice was deep and grim as it said, "If you persist, the demon clan's experts will never ever let you off, and neither will they let me off. The consequences aren't something that we can bear!"

"That's for me to deal with. You don't need to concern yourself with that."

Meng Lei gave an impatient wave and said, "I'll give you one last chance. Either you become my mount, or... You die!"

The Black Phoenix fell silent, caught in an intense internal struggle. If it had the liberty of choosing, it didn't want to become Meng Lei's mount at all.

The consequences of becoming Meng Lei's mount alone were already enough to deter it, let alone its pride and self-esteem as a Demon Grandmaster.

A great, lofty Demon Grandmaster becoming a Chief God's mount?

If news of this got out, would the experts in the demons' faction let it off? Would the great Supreme God of The Underworld allow this? The Black Phoenix grandmaster didn't even dare to think about it!

Yet if it didn't agree to it, it would die right away!

"I'll do it!"

Under the threat of death, the Black Phoenix grandmaster finally pledged its allegiance.

"You made a wise choice."

Chapter 401: The Flaming Star Beast, The Abyss of Darkness

The Black Phoenix grandmaster handed over its divine spirit origin energy and became Meng Lei's mount in the end.

Yep, that's right, a Chief God-class mount.

Meng Lei said dispassionately, "You can now tell me what that thing is, right?"

The Black Phoenix grandmaster looked absolutely miserable as it replied, "That Nidhogg guy teamed up with a few other Chief Gods to seal me back then, and I was brought here after that. Originally, Nidhogg could've killed me, but that thing saved me at the critical juncture."

"Go on," urged Meng Lei.

Its voice muffled, the Black Phoenix said, "Barring any unexpected events, a lucky fellow like Nidhogg would never be able to comprehend supreme laws of nature and ascend to become an intermediate Chief God even in his entire life. In other words, he had already reached the end of his cultivation journey."

Meng Lei nodded lightly to that.

"But Nidhogg naturally wasn't content to stay a lesser Chief God for life. Thus, when I told him about that thing, he easily took the bait."

The Black Phoenix grandmaster said mockingly, "True enough, he didn't kill me. Instead, he tried various ways and means to find out about that thing's whereabouts from me."

"What exactly is that thing?"

It had also piqued Meng Lei's interest by now. For Nidhogg, a great Chief God, to actually put so much effort into it, what exactly could it be?

"A Void Beast young!"

The Black Phoenix grandmaster dropped a verbal bomb.

"A Void Beast young?"

A mild jolt went through Meng Lei.

"To be more specific, it's a Flaming Star Beast's young!"

The Black Phoenix grandmaster had also become rather excited. It said, "I bumped into that little fellow when I went to that place to collect objects of extreme cold before the previous war between gods and demons had broken out. It seemed like it had been sealed, but it's also possible that it was trapped in that place. In any case, it couldn't get out."

"You didn't capture it?"

Meng Lei was rather bewildered.

"I wanted to! I wanted very much to!"

The Black Phoenix grandmaster didn't bother concealing its desire and greed. It said, "The Boundless King's emergence had shown us gods and demons a whole new way of cultivation. It didn't require Chief God divine cores or Chief Demon demonic cores, nor did it require one to comprehend supreme laws of nature. All you need is just a Void Beast young!

"But unfortunately, I entered the battlefield in a hurry after that, and that was the end of it."

Its voice full of indignation and regret as the Black Phoenix grandmaster said, "If I had gotten my hands on that Flaming Star Beast young and taken over its body, perhaps I would also have achieved the same heights that the Boundless King had reached... Sigh! But it's too late now!"

Meng Lei hurriedly asked, "Where has that Flaming Star Beast been sealed?"

"The Abyss of Darkness," answered the Black Phoenix grandmaster.

"The Abyss of Darkness? What kind of place is that?"

Meng Lei was rather puzzled.

"(o)"

The Black Phoenix grandmaster looked utterly stupefied. It asked incredulously, "You don't even know about the Abyss of Darkness?"

"Duh, would I need to ask you about it if I did?" replied Meng Lei with an eye-roll.

"Kid, aren't you a little too ill-informed?"

Moro was rendered somewhat speechless, but nevertheless, he still explained, "The Abyss of Darkness is a terrifying space-time rift in the Void. Some say it's a dimensional channel, while some say it was left behind during a battle among a few juggernaut-class experts... Opinions vary on the topic of what exactly it is.

"However, one thing's for certain—magic elements, as well as basic laws of nature, do not exist in the Abyss of Darkness. Additionally, it's also an extremely dangerous place. Even Chief God-class experts wouldn't have any chance of survival if they were to enter its depths. There's no way for them to escape at all."

Moro let out an emotional sigh and said, "There's a mysterious force inside the Abyss of Darkness that constantly destroys the laws of nature around it. This leads to the universe's Power of Origin's inability to repair the rift. As a result, it continues to exist to this day."

"So that's what the Abyss of Darkness is!"

Enlightened, Meng Lei then asked, "How do you find the Flaming Star Beast, Moro? How is it in comparison to the Boundless Great Beast? Can it grow to become a Supreme Juggernaut?"

"What, are you thinking of finding that Flaming Star Beast young?"

A mirthful Moro said, "Millions of years have passed since the war between the gods and demons. That Flaming Star Beast young has probably already fled a long time ago. Even if it hasn't, it must be dead by now.

"However, the Flaming Star Beast is indeed very powerful. They are fearsome monsters that possess pinnacle-level Void Beast blood in them. They feed on the sun and are also creatures of extreme heat and Yang energy[1]. Thus, they are known by the name of Flaming Star Beasts. In terms of their bloodline, they are in no way inferior to the Boundless Great Beasts."

"Is the Abyss of Darkness far from here?" asked Meng Lei.

"Not really."

Moro said, "The Abyss of Darkness happens to be located right in the center of the universe, while high-end existential planes such as the Earth Divine Realm are in extremely close proximity to the center of the universe."

"It's great that it's not far away!"

Meng Lei nodded slightly and said, "In that case, let's head over to the Abyss of Darkness and take a look."

"I reckon you're going to return empty-handed this time, though!"

"We'll just take it that we're touring the Abyss of Darkness!"

After that, Meng Lei returned to the alternate dimension with the Black Phoenix grandmaster and continued to look through the boxes. The Abyss of Darkness was a trip he must make, but it would have to wait a little longer.

The fifth box was relatively bigger, measuring 10,000-feet-long but only 100-feet-wide. Long and thin, it looked exceptionally strange. Meng Lei opened the lid—a crimson-red pillar with several spiral patterns of fire circling around it engraved on its surface laid quietly in the middle of the box.

"What's this?"

Meng Lei reached into the box and grabbed the crimson-red pillar. It felt incredibly heavy—it actually took extremely strenuous effort for him to hold it despite his lesser Chief God-level body.

"This is just a 10,000-feet-long, 100-feet-thick pillar, yet it's so heavy?" Meng Lei was rather astonished. "What is this thing made out of?"

"Hehe! Didn't you intend to head to the Abyss of Darkness to look for the Flaming Star Beast just now? If I'm not wrong, this thing right here is the Flaming Star Beast's horn itself!" said Moro as he clicked his tongue in wonder.

"The Flaming Star Beast's horn?"

A huge jolt went through Meng Lei.

"Nidhogg made efforts to collect things related to the Flaming Star Beast after he got to know about the Flaming Star Beast young from me back then. This horn is likely something that he had specially obtained," said the Black Phoenix grandmaster in a muffled voice.

"No doubt about it, then!"

Moro nodded slightly and said, "Any normal person would end up displaying all sorts of obsessive behavior when they simply can't get a treasure that they could have gotten. What a shame, though, that a horn is ultimately still just a horn. It can't compare to a living, breathing Flaming Star Beast at all."

Moro shook his head before he floated over to the sixth box and waited for Meng Lei to open it. What puzzled him, however, was that Meng Lei didn't move at all. Instead, he continued to stare hard at the Flaming Star Beast horn.

"Don't bother looking at it anymore. It's just a broken horn." Moro urged, "Hurry and open this box instead!"

"Just... A horn?"

Meng Lei's lips curled up into a mysterious smile. A bunch of blazing hot tricolored flames suddenly burst forth from him. Then, more and more flames started to gather, instantly turning Meng Lei into a man on fire.

"(o)"

"What's going on?"

"What's the matter with you, kid?"

Looks of stupefaction came over both Moro and the Black Phoenix grandmaster's faces.

He was fine and dandy one moment, and then he had burst into flames the next?

Crackle, crackle!

Just as the two of them were utterly baffled, tricolored scales suddenly started to form one by one on Meng Lei's skin, and three horns emerged from his head. The one in the middle was straight and sharp, while the other two at the sides curved outward slightly. Tricolored fire spiral patterns covered their surfaces.

Splurt!

Right on the heels of it, Meng Lei's clothes suddenly split open at the back. A pair of wings covered in hard, tough, scaly armor emerged from within, and they turned into gigantic wings that blotted out the sky in the blink of an eye.

His body hunched over slightly, his hands turned into sharp claws, his feet turned into clawed hooves, his neck lengthened, and a long tail grew from his bottom. His body shape was well-proportioned, and his muscles clearly defined...

"This, this..."

Flabbergasted, both Moro's and the Black Phoenix grandmaster's eyes almost fell out of their sockets.

Chapter 402: Chief God Bloodline, Supreme Divinity Crystals

There was no way Moro and the Black Phoenix grandmaster wouldn't be astonished. It wasn't that big of a deal if Meng Lei had transformed into something else, but what was that currently standing in front of them? A Flaming Star Beast!

That's right, a Flaming Star Beast!

Although its color wasn't quite right, its form and characteristics completely matched!

"He... He's a Flaming Star Beast?"

The Black Phoenix grandmaster's voice was trembling somewhat.

"It must be that ability of his!"

Moro, however, thought of another possibility—Meng Lei's plundering ability. He had previously personally witnessed Meng Lei stealing supreme laws of nature that two Great Perfection deities had comprehended. What's so impossible about plundering bloodlines when he could plunder even laws of nature?

"That ability is too scary!"

Moro could only sigh emotionally. He thought to himself, "Not only can it plunder laws of nature, but it can also plunder bloodlines! I really want to know whether there's anything he can't plunder?"

Roar!

Just as feelings of astoundment occupied the duo, Meng Lei's transformation finally ended. The current Meng Lei had turned into a monstrous beast covered in tricolored scales and with three sharp helix horns on its head, a pair of wings on its back, a long tail at its bottom, and well-proportioned muscles all over its body.

Hard, tough, scaly armor;

Toned, taut muscles;

Razor-sharp claws;

Piercing eyes;

A wild and violent-looking form;

And a powerful, surging aura.

All of these were testament to Meng Lei's great strength!

"So, this is the Flaming Star Beast bloodline? It's extraordinary indeed!"

Meng Lei could sense the changes in his divine body even if he didn't look at the stats interface.

Power!

An endless supply of power was gushing out of his body. Meng Lei felt as if he could smash the Nidhogg Continent into bits and pieces with a single punch! This power in him was simply too strong!

One must know that as Meng Lei continued to assimilate more and more powerful bloodlines into himself, his divine body had also been constantly becoming stronger and stronger. The later the bloodlines he had assimilated, the smaller the enhancement they brought to his divine body. It had been a very long time since he had undergone such a dramatic enhancement. From this, one could tell just how fearsome the Flaming Star Beast bloodline was!

He then checked his stats interface.

Host: Meng Lei

Race: Primordial Human (Assimilated Bloodlines: Gods-Slaying Rat Adult, Netherworld Ancestral Phoenix Adult, Hundred-Armed Giant King Adult, Ancient Tree of Life Adult, Frost King Adult, Grim Reaper King Adult, Flaming Star Beast 38%)

Wealth: 12,709 trillion Divinity Crystals

Physical Body Constitution: Metal-Origin Divine Body, Wood-Origin Divine Body, Thunder-Origin Divine Body

Spirit: Lesser Chief God (Mid-Level Ancient God)

Power of Divinity: 200 Divinity Crystals

Laws of Nature: Time-Based (100%), Destruction (0.1%), Life (0.1%), Spatial (100%), Death (0.1%)

Wanting to know how strong his divine body currently was, Meng Lei asked, "System, how much does it cost to enhance my divine body?"

"Ding! The host's divine body is currently on par with that of a pinnacle-level lesser Chief God and will rival that of an intermediate Chief God's after enhancement. Enhancement cost is estimated at 100 trillion Divinity Crystals."

The system asked coldly, "Will you enhance it?"

"100 trillion Divinity Crystals? That's not cheap!" Meng Lei shook his head and asked, "How many Divinity Crystals does it cost to boost the Flaming Star Beast bloodline to 100%?"

"Ding! Raising the Flaming Star Beast bloodline by 1% requires 1 trillion Divinity Crystals. Raising it to 100%, therefore, requires 62 trillion Divinity Crystals," replied the system coldly.

"I'll buy credit for the Flaming Star Beast bloodline!"

Meng Lei made his choice.

Whoosh!

62 trillion Divinity Crystals instantly went poof from his Wealth.

At the same time, an incredibly wild and violent warm current also gushed into his body. The Flaming Star Beast bloodline in the depths of his blood began to furiously grow and strengthen. This, displayed externally, was that Meng Lei's body started to become stronger and stronger. His scales became brighter and brighter, and more and more vibrant, while his body expanded further and further...

,000,000 feet, 20,000,000 feet...

Boom!

The alternate dimension could no longer contain Meng Lei. At last, unable to hold Meng Lei's expansion any longer, the alternate dimension exploded with a grand boom.

Meng Lei became exposed in the boundless Void straight away. Even so, his body continued to expand.

,000,000 feet, 40,000,000 feet, 50,000,000 feet, 60,000,000 feet...

At last, by the time Meng Lei stopped expanding, he had reached 66,600,000-feet-tall!

He had totally become a whale of a monster!

,980,000 meters!

,980 kilometers!

That was approximately 20,000 kilometers!

This meant that the current Meng Lei was 1,000 Himalaya mountains taller than even Earth itself! It was clear just how majestic his current form was!

Roar!

Terrifying sound waves exploded into the surroundings as Meng Lei let out a roar into the heavens. As though they were eggs, all the meteors and floating continents nearby exploded simultaneously.

One could tell a thing or not about Meng Lei's current strength just by the might of his roar.

"This, this..."

Moro and the Black Phoenix grandmaster were stunned. If one were to say that Meng Lei had just been a weak Flaming Star Beast young in the beginning, then the current him was a Flaming Star Beast adolescent that was starting to shine!

Leaping an infant into an adolescent in just a short few minutes... Wasn't his growth rate a little too dramatic?

"Just what kind of freak is he, exactly?"

The Black Phoenix grandmaster exclaimed in a low voice. It completely couldn't figure out its master anymore.

"A freak? Yes! He's a freak!" replied Moro, who was also astounded.

"What a fearsome body!"

Meng Lei stretched his limbs and claws and moved his head and wings, taking in the sensation of his body that had become even stronger. A satisfied smile couldn't help but form.

Just as he had expected, his divine body had become comparable to an intermediate Chief God's after he bought enough credit to boost the Flaming Star Beast bloodline to 100%.

It was just a matter of assimilating a single bloodline for him to ascend from a lesser Chief God to an intermediate Chief God. From this, one could tell just how powerful the Flaming Star Beast bloodline was!

Meng Lei asked curiously, "System, what grade is the Flaming Star Beast bloodline?"

There was no response.

"That inflexible system!"

Meng Lei rephrased his question. "System, how many Divinity Crystals does it cost to enhance the Flaming Star Beast bloodline?"

This time, the system answered readily.

"Ding! The Flaming Star Beast bloodline is classified as a Chief God Bloodline and will become a Supreme Bloodline after enhancement. The enhancement cost is estimated at 500 Supreme Divinity Crystals."

"500... Supreme Divinity Crystals?"

Meng Lei blinked twice and asked, "Are Supreme Divinity Crystals a new unit of measurement? How many Divinity Crystals is one equivalent to?"

"Supreme Divinity Crystals are energy crystals formed from Supreme Power of Divinity. 1 Supreme Divinity Crystal = 10,000 trillion Divinity Crystals," replied the system icily.

"In other words, 500 Supreme Divinity Crystals equals 5,000,000 trillion Divinity Crystals?"

Meng Lei couldn't help but gasp. "What a ridiculous price! Can't mess around with something like that! Nope!"

Although the horrifying price tag gave him a shock, Meng Lei had gotten to know the Flaming Star Beast bloodline's grade—a Chief God Bloodline—like what he had wanted. However, in Meng Lei's opinion, since Chief Gods were classified into the strong and the weak, Chief God Bloodlines were likely also a broad classification like True God bloodlines.

True gods were classified into lesser, intermediate, and higher deities. Similarly, True God Bloodlines were also classified as low-grade, mid-grade, or high-grade bloodlines.

This was probably also the case for Chief God Bloodlines.

The fact that Flaming Star Beasts would become comparable to Juggernauts upon maturation showed that the Flaming Star Beast bloodline was likely the most powerful grade of Chief God Bloodlines.

After that, Meng Lei familiarized himself with his Flaming Star Beast form before he resumed his human form and returned to where Moro and the Black Phoenix grandmaster were.

Astonishment and incredulity filled their eyes as they stared at Meng Lei as though they were staring at a freak.

"Kid, you've... become stronger again!"

Moro clicked his tongue in wonder as he marveled, "Now that you have gained a powerful body that rivals an intermediate Chief God's and also comprehended two types of supreme laws of nature, even I find it tough to judge just how strong you are now!"

Indeed, it certainly wasn't easy to judge something like that now!

A lesser Chief God would become comparable to a higher Chief God once they reached a 50% comprehension rate for any type of supreme laws of nature.

When a lesser Chief God fully comprehended any type of supreme laws of nature, they would become comparable to a Supreme Juggernaut.

But what about Meng Lei?

He owned a body that was comparable to an intermediate Chief God's, and on top of that, he had fully comprehended two types of supreme laws of nature!

Just how strong was he currently? Higher Chief God-level?

No, he was definitely stronger than a higher Chief God. There was no doubt about that!

Yet if one were to say that he was comparable to a Juggernaut...

Was he that strong?

Moro was rather dubious.

"No, not just two," Meng Lei chuckled and said, "I can fully comprehend another two types of supreme laws of nature any time I want."

"What did you just say?"

Moro was stunned.

As for the Black Phoenix grandmaster, its current expression was as such: o((_))o!

Chapter 403: The Tragic Fate of Being Soul-Searched, Fatty Hart Is Dead

Nidhogg clan headquarters, Earth Divine Realm...

The Nidhogg clan had suffered terrible losses after the battle just now. Almost all the higher deities had been wiped out, leaving behind only a few insignificant nobodies of varying levels of combat power.

The enormous Nidhogg could be said to be finished. There was no chance of them ever making a comeback.

The ten great godly clans of the Earth Divine Realm would now become the nine great godly clans from now on. Once the news spread, it would surely spark an unprecedented super earthquake, shake up the entire Earth Divine Realm, and trigger an incomparably frightening storm.

Of course, all of these would only come later.

Nobody knew of the events here yet.

If one wanted to know who the ones currently the most excited were, then they were none other than Puhaman and the others.

The riches that a trillion experts' deaths left behind was astonishing. Even if every person were to leave behind only 100 Divinity Crystals each, it would nonetheless total up to 100 trillion after putting them all together!

100 trillion Divinity Crystals was no small sum to even someone like Meng Lei, much less higher deities like Puhaman, Bubbles, and the others who were flat broke!

"I've struck gold!"

"I've struck gold now!"

"Hahaha! With so many spatial rings here, I've instantly transformed into a billionaire!"

"This is awesome! Being Master's follower is awesome! The wisest decision that I've ever made in my life is to become Master's follower!"

"Sigh! I'm going to die of envy!"

Emery Philmore watched as Puhaman and the others picked up the divine cores and spatial rings littered all over the mountains, immense envy filling him. How he wished he were also one of them!

It was just a shame that he wasn't!

Puhaman and the others happily collected the divine cores and spatial rings, filling up their coffers as though they were hardworking little bees.

Just as they more or less collected all the spatial rings in the mountains, a fearsome wave of pressure suddenly descended upon them, followed closely by the second, the third, the fourth...

Boom!

Boom!

Seven strong, surging auras descended from above in a split second, instantly bearing down heavily on everyone. Unable to put up any resistance at all, Puhaman and the others were flattened right onto the ground. Their faces flushed a crimson red, the pressure weighing down on them so heavy that they felt as if they were carrying a primordial divine mountain on their backs.

"Chief Gods!"

"This is the force of a Chief God's presence!"

"Oh my god! How many Chief Gods must there be in order for them to exert such pressure?"

Puhaman and the others had seen Chief Gods before, so they had naturally also felt the force of a Chief God's presence before. These seven terrifying waves of pressure were undoubtedly that of Chief Gods'!

To make things worse, they were even more fearsome, more powerful, and more horrifying than what they had felt in the past!

"The other Chief Gods have come!" Shock and horror filled Emery Philmore. "The other Chief Gods must have come!"

"The other Chief Gods?"

It also hit Puhaman and the others by now—how could the other Chief Gods in the Earth Divine Realm possibly stay indifferent after their master went on a killing spree and slew three Chief Gods?

Now... They had come!

Their guesses were right—the other Chief Gods of Earth Divine Realm had indeed descended upon them, and on top of that, there were seven of them!

The seven Chief Gods stood proudly in the air. They made no effort to constrain their strong, surging, and terrifying force of presence, such that the entire Nidhogg Continent could clearly sense the pressure they gave off.

Their leader was stunningly beautiful—it was none other than the holy and cool beauty, Chief God Vados.

Chief God Vados overlooked the Nidhogg Colossal Dragon Mountains, her delicate brows drawing together into a frown—there actually wasn't even a single higher deity left in the enormous Nidhogg clan.

"How tragic!"

"That knave is so hateful!"

"The Nidhogg clan is pretty much finished!"

The group of Chief Gods shook their heads. Just how powerful had the Nidhogg clan once been? Yet not only had the Nidhogg Chief God himself perished, but even the experts in the clan had all but been wiped out. The enormous clan existed merely in name now. This simply made one heave emotional sighs too much.

"Where's that knave?"

Chief God Vados ordered emotionlessly, "Find him at once and bring him back to stand trial in the Chief God Tribunal. He is to be tried by the four great Juggernauts and the Chief Gods."

"Yes, Your Holiness!"

The other six Chief Gods bowed slightly. Then, they spread their divine cognition into the surroundings in an attempt to locate Meng Lei. However, the puzzling thing was that they simply couldn't find anyone despite searching the whole area.

"How strange!"

"He isn't here?"

"What's going on?"

"Grab one of his accomplices and question them!"

The Chief God from the Frost God clan casually grabbed someone, who just so happened to be Emery Philmore, who had been flattened to the ground. The Chief God asked apathetically, "Where's the knave that killed the three Chief Gods?"

"O g-great Chief God!"

Emery Philmore had been scared witless a long time ago, so how would he possibly dare to keep things a secret? He said, "I-it seems that L-lord Meng Lei has gone to the peak!"

"There's no one at the peak at all. Bold of you to actually try to deceive a Chief God!"

The Frost Chief God declared coldly, "Die!"

Boom!

As though he had been struck by lightning, Emery Philmore's head blasted apart, and he died on the spot.

"Emery Philmore!"

"It's over! We're dead meat!"

The sight of Emery's death scared the wits out of Puhaman and the others. Given how ruthless the Frost Chief God was, they probably weren't going to survive the ordeal today!

The Frost Chief God then casually grabbed another person from the crowd—Fatty Hart this time—and ordered, "Tell me, where's that knave?"

"Just kill me instead!"

Despite how he was trembling all over from fear, in response to the Frost Chief God's question, Fatty Hart actually raised his chin and sneered, "I, Fatty Hart, admit that I'm no match for you, so there's nothing I can say even if you kill me. But mark my words, old bro, will definitely kill all of you and avenge me! Heh, to be able to drag a Chief God down into hell with me, I, Fatty Hart, have lived a worthy life! Hahaha!"

"You want to die? Not so easy!" With an icy, severe look on his face, the Frost Chief God scoffed, "Do you think I have no way of finding out even if you don't tell me? How naive of you!"

Then, the Frost Chief God released his divine spirit power and began to forcibly search Fatty Hart's soul, causing poor Fatty Hart to emit shrill, miserable screams right away.

"Fatty!!"

"You bastard!"

The sight filled Puhaman and the others with immense fury at once. All of them had chatted, bantered, bragged, and talked about all kinds of nonsense with one another during all these years of following Meng Lei around. They had already formed fairly deep friendships with one another a long time ago. How could they possibly not be distressed or anguished at the sight of Fatty Hart's current pain and agony?

Fatty Hart's screams didn't last long. However, Fatty Hart, who had stopped struggling by now, now had empty, lifeless eyes. There was no life in his eyes, and it was as if he had become a puppet.

Evidently, the rough and violent soul-search had killed his mental capabilities, turning him into an idiot!

Rough soul-searches damaged one's divine spirit the most easily!

"Nothing but a lowly ant!"

The Frost Chief God let out a snort. A chilly current gushed out of his palm, instantly turning Fatty Hart into an ice sculpture. Then, with a light knead of his hand, the ice sculpture shattered into a million ice chips that scattered all about.

"Fatty!!"

Fury made Puhaman and the others shake all over. Even their eyes had turned red. Yet as if all he had done was just something trivial that wasn't even worth a mention, the Frost Chief God merely shifted his gaze to Chief God Vados and said with a frown, "Your Holiness, we must find that guy and kill him as soon as possible. Otherwise, there'll be endless trouble to come, and the Boundless King disaster shall come to pass once more."

The Boundless King disaster?

The Chief Gods raised an eyebrow at his words. The haughty Giant Elephant Chief God, who didn't quite agree with him, remarked, "Aren't you just fearmongering now, Chilled?"

"You wouldn't say that if you knew that guy's background, Helsa!"

The Frost Chief God slowly asked, "Do you know that guy has already comprehended both time-based laws of nature and spatial laws of nature even though he isn't even 50 years old yet?"

"What did you just say?"

"He isn't 50 years old yet?"

"He's comprehended both time-based laws of nature and spatial laws of nature?"

Huge jolts immediately went through the six Chief Gods, and looks of shock and horror surfaced in their eyes. They had no problem believing that someone could become a deity before they turned fifty, but a Great Perfection deity under the age of fifty?

They couldn't accept that no matter what! Let alone when said Great Perfection deity had even comprehended two types of supreme laws of nature!

That was practically a fantasy story!

"I know it sounds very unbelievable, so I don't intend to bother convincing you guys, either."

The Frost Chief God then reached out and grabbed Puhaman, Thaniel, Bubbles, Galen, Sacas, and Mervyn.

"Search their souls yourself. You'll get the answers you want!"

Chapter 404: Life Dominus, A Graveless Death

"Aahhh!"

"Aahhh!"

"Aahhh!"

Shrill screams rang in the skies above the Colossal Dragon Mountain as Puhaman, Sacas, and the other four grimaced from the inhumane suffering of the soul searching.

Pain!

It was too painful!

"Puhaman!"

"Galen!"

"You bastard!"

Nadja and the rest looked on as they widened their eyes to the point of splitting. They wished they could charge and fight those six Chief Gods with their lives, but they were all suppressed to the ground, completely immobilized.

After a few minutes, the soul searching ended while the screams of horror died down. They had the same fate as Fatty Hart as their eyes turned blank and lifeless. They had clearly turned into idiots from the violent soul searching, and they would never return to normal.

Vados and the six Chief Gods threw the six mentally disabled deities to one side and looked at each other, seeing the alarm and shock in each other's eyes.

"So this is the answer we're looking for?" the Frost Gods Chief God asked somberly.

"Die!"

"That fellow must die!"

"If he doesn't die, the Boundless King disaster will repeat itself, and a catastrophe will engulf the entire universe!"

"We must find him and bring him to the Chief God Tribunal to be executed. Or else, he will be the next Boundless King, or much worse!"

Chief God Vados waved her arm and bellowed, "Find him! No matter what, we must find him!"

"Yes, Your Holiness!"

The six Chief Gods bowed slightly and began their search. Vados flipped her hand as a pale golden leaf appeared on her palm.

The power of Chief God entered the golden leaf as it started to shine brightly. Golden rays of light shot up the sky and combined into a towering figure.

She had a head of green hair that cascaded like a waterfall and a terrifying aura reaching into the skies and deep into the ground. She was like heaven and earth, ruling everything and in control of anything.

"O great Life Dominus!"

Vados bowed slightly with reverence.

"Have you found that murderer?" The Life Dominus spoke slowly. Her voice was like a spring breeze in march, warm and pleasant. It was like a hot spring that could cleanse souls.

"My great Dominus, we have not found him yet, but..."

Vados spoke respectfully. "But I obtained reliable information. That person's potential threat is unprecedented, possibly more than the Boundless King in the past. I request to send out all the Chief Gods to find that man and execute him immediately!"

"Is it that serious, Vados?"

The Life Dominus was rather surprised.

Who was the Boundless King?

That was someone who had stolen and occupied a juvenile Boundless Great Beast and grown into an adult Boundless Great Beast, whose capabilities were no less than the four Juggernauts. If it was not for the combined effort of the four great Juggernauts and over 100 Chief Gods, no one could be certain that they could be exterminated.

Who could be associated with such a powerful being?

"My great Dominus, that fellow has not yet reached 45 years old, but he has already comprehended the time-based and spatial laws of nature. We are dealing with a freak of an unprecedented level!"

Vados bowed and replied, "If we let him progress any further, he will surely be more disastrous than the Boundless King!"

"Is that the truth, Vados?"

The Life Dominus raised her voice by a notch.

"I spoke no lies," Vados replied respectfully.

The Life Dominus went silent for quite a while before she said, "This is a different situation from the Boundless King. We cannot conclude over such a matter until we meet him in person. Vados, find him immediately! I'll make my way there with the other Juggernauts and Chief Gods."

"Yes, my great Dominus!"

With that said, the Life Dominus dissipated into the air. Vados did not dare to make any further delay as she began her search quickly. With the capabilities of her powerful divine spirit as a Chief God and the Power of Existential Plane of the Earth Divine Realm, her divine cognition could cover an astonishingly extensive range.

It could not be any more simple to find someone.

Unfortunately, as most of the day had gone by, she could not find Meng Lei at all. Vados became furious. "This damned bastard! Where the hell is he? Perhaps he had already left the Earth Divine Realm? If so, that's a huge problem!"

"Any news over there?"

"No, I didn't."

"He's not here."

"He doesn't even exist here."

"It's like this fellow has vanished without a trace."

Knowing that nothing turned up for the other Chief Gods, Vados was raging even more.

"Keep searching! We must find him before the four great Juggernauts descend upon this realm with other Chief Gods!"

Where was Meng Lei right now?

He was in the Void.

The alternate dimension had dissipated, and the teleportation magic circle linked to the shrine was destroyed. Thus, he had been exiled into the Void. He had to find a way himself to return to the Earth Divine Realm.

It would not be an issue for Meng Lei.

As long as he could sense the Earth Divine Realm, he could tear open the Void to teleport back instantly.

The step to sense the Earth Divine Realm was much easier. Since the divine spirit origin energies of Puhaman and the rest were in his hands, he could use the link between them.

A moment later, Meng Lei sensed the location of the Earth Divine Realm and teleported into the sky above the Nidhogg Colossal Dragon Mountain.

"Mm?"

"Such a powerful aura!"

"All of a sudden?"

"Is this that fellow?"

"Let's head over and take a look!"

Once Meng Lei appeared, he was discovered by the seven Chief Gods.

Whoosh!

The seven Chief Gods appeared instantly to surround Meng Lei entirely.

"Seven Chief Gods?"

Meng Lei raised an eyebrow, as he was not too surprised about it.

He had killed the Titan Chief God, Nidhogg, and the Angel Chief God. It would only be natural for these Chief Gods to come for revenge.

Meng Lei looked at the seven Chief Gods while they sized him up too. Curiosity, puzzlement, and disbelief could be seen from their faces.

"Master!"

"Our Master, he's back!"

Once he saw Meng Lei, Nadja, and the Spider Goddess were jubilant as they were overwhelmed in excitement. They had never longed for Meng Lei to show up as much as how they currently did.

"Why are all of you in such a state?"

Meng Lei's face darkened as he looked at Nadja and those immobilized on the ground, especially so when he saw the six puppet-like subordinates lying around on one side. "Wait, where's Fatty Hart?"

"Fatty Hart was killed by him, Master!"

Nadja pointed at the Frost Gods Chief God, Chilled, and replied angrily, "He searched Fatty Hart's divine spirit and turned him into a fool before brutally killing him! And Puhaman, Bubbles, and the other four were searched as well, becoming mentally unsound too!"

"Master, you must avenge them!"

"Master, kill these Chief Gods! They're too wicked!"

"Well done! Well done, indeed!"

Meng Lei looked at the seven Chief God with a cold stare.

"Nidhogg, is he the murderer?"

Vados ignored Meng Lei as she released Nidhogg and the other two Chief Gods' remnant souls.

"That's him, Your Holiness!"

Upon the sight of Meng Lei, Nidhogg's eyes were filled with resentment and bitterness. "It was him who killed me, Dawson, and Raphael! Please avenge us, Your Holiness!"

"Curse you, knave! How I ought to feast on your flesh, rip out your skin..."

The Titan Chief God and the Angel Chief God started cursing hysterically.

"How dare mere remnant spirits bark here?"

Meng Lei scoffed as a divine cognition blast wave ravaged the vicinity, instantly decimating the three remnant souls. The three great Chief Gods were now gone eternally.

"What insolence!"

Vados was enraged. "Knave! How dare you murder the three great Chief Gods! It's insanity and perverse to the extreme! Return to the Chief God Tribunal immediately to stand trial before the four great Juggernauts if you know what's good for you! Or else, you'll die a graveless death!

"Graveless? Hehe, I'll show you what it means to die graveless!"

Chapter 405: Blasting A Juggernaut Into Smithereens, Meeting Their Demise One After Another

Meng Lei was infuriated. It had been some time since he had come to this world. He had no family and was all alone by himself here, save for these few friends.

Yet even these few friends of his had been crippled. How could Meng Lei possibly not be furious or resentful?

"You should die! All of you!"

Meng Lei let out a low roar as bright silver light spilled from his eyes. Then, he uttered two icy words, "Space Confinement!"

Whoosh!

The dimensions in all the places that entered his sight were locked down at once. The seven Chief Gods discovered to their shock and horror that they had been immobilized. Their bodies no longer obeyed their command, and they lost control of their divine bodies.

"Damn it!"

"That's spatial laws of nature!"

"He really has comprehended spatial laws of nature!"

"Quickly! Mobilize your Chief God powers!"

The seven Chief Gods hastily activated their divine cores and mobilized the Earth Divine Realm's Power of Existential Plane. The Earth Divine Realm's Power of Existential Plane naturally held extremely fearsome might in the Earth Divine Realm itself. By using Power of Existential Plane as a means of resistance, their immobilized bodies gradually started to move again.

But before they could heave sighs of relief, Meng Lei bizarrely showed up right in front of Chilled, the Frost Chief God. He asked, "Were you the one that killed Fatty Hart?"

"W-what do you want?"

The Frost Chief God turned pale, and he tried furiously to summon Power of Existential Plane so that he could put some distance between Meng Lei and himself.

Like Nidhogg, he was just a lesser Chief God. When faced with a devil like Meng Lei, who slew lesser Chief Gods as if he were slaughtering livestock, he feared him like how a mortal feared a ferocious tiger.

"You deserve to die a million deaths for daring to kill Fatty!"

Meng Lei's eyes were icy-cold. He said, "I'm going to give you a full, thorough taste of the pain and agony that you inflicted upon Fatty!"

Before he even finished his sentence, Meng Lei had already pressed his palm lightly against the Frost Chief God's forehead. Then, he gouged out his Chief God divine core with a forceful scoop. The poor Frost Chief God struggled fiercely, but he couldn't do anything to Meng Lei at all. All he could do was watch helplessly in endless, intense pain as Meng Lei gouged out his Chief God divine core!

The sight scared the living daylights out of the other Chief Gods, while Vados shouted furiously, "Mister, slaughtering Chief Gods is a serious crime. You've already killed three Chief Gods, but you can pull yourself back from the brink if you do it now. Otherwise, the four Juggernauts will never let you off!"

"You're too noisy!"

Meng Lei struck out with his palm right away. The expression on Vados' pretty face changed at once, and she tried to duck, but it was as if she had sunk into a pool of mud. She found it difficult to even move a finger.

I'm a higher Chief God, yet I actually can't resist his spatial laws of nature even when I use Power of Existential Plane?

Shock and horror came over Vados as she wondered, "Are complete spatial laws of nature really supposed to be this fearsome?"

How powerful were complete supreme laws of nature?

Vados didn't know, either, because she only had a 50% comprehension rate of life laws of nature. She was halfway there, so she naturally wouldn't know what the full picture looked like.

Thus, Vados found herself terribly shocked and horrified when Meng Lei's spatial laws of nature imprisoned her. The life laws of nature that she had comprehended half of definitely weren't this terrifying!

"What are you trying to do? Damn it! Let go of me! The four Juggernauts won't let you off!"

Elsewhere, fear had utterly overcome the Frost Chief God after his Chief God divine core was gouged out, and he started to shout hysterically. He didn't want to die! He didn't want to end up like those three Chief Gods!

"Have a taste of Fatty's pain, you idiot!"

Divine spirit power gushed out of Meng Lei and surged into the Chief God divine core. It charged around violently and shoved its way through left and right like a deluge from a breached dam, assailing the Frost Chief God's divine spirit madly. His screams resounded throughout the sky at once, causing the other Chief Gods' scalps to go numb from fear.

How much must it hurt in order to make a lofty Chief God scream like that?

"Aaaahhhh!"

The Frost Chief God's screams lasted for a good ten minutes before they gradually died down. The duration was three to four times longer than what Fatty Hart's had been. Only then did Meng Lei thoroughly erase the Frost Chief God's divine spirit, completely killing him.

"You were the one that searched Puhaman's soul?" asked Meng Lei emotionlessly as he appeared in front of Valdi, the Fire Phoenix Chief God.

"D-don't kill me!"

The Fire Phoenix Chief God turned ghastly pale from fright and pleaded for mercy again and again. "I'm willing to do anything in penitence. Please give me a way out!"

"Pleading for mercy? It's too late!"

Meng Lei gouged out the Fire Phoenix Chief God's divine core like what he had done just now. Then, he started to attack his divine core and conduct a violent soul-search.

Shrill screams that lasted over ten minutes rang out once more...

"A devil! He's the devil himself!"

"Isn't he afraid of the four Juggernauts' judgment and punishment if he kills Chief Gods so cruelly like that?"

"Your Holiness Vados! Hurry and inform the four Juggernauts! Get them to hurry over here at once! Otherwise, that devil is going to kill us all!"

Vados was also frightened. If she hadn't been afraid of Meng Lei in the beginning, after experiencing the complete version of spatial laws of nature, she certainly was now. She knew she was no match for Meng Lei for sure. If she allowed Meng Lei to continue his slaughter, it was possible that she, a higher Chief God... might also be killed!

"Yes, that's right! Inform the Juggernauts! Get them to hurry here at once! They are the only ones that can save us now!"

Vados hastily brought out the golden leaf. She imbued it with her Chief God powers and began to call for the great Life Dominus.

Buzz!

The majestic figure appeared again—it was none other than the Life Dominus.

Vados shouted, "O great Dominus, hurry and save us! That terrifying devil is slaughtering us!"

"Mm?"

The Life Dominus broke into a slight frown. Her gentle gaze swept to the side accordingly and fell onto Meng Lei, noticing right away that he was conducting a soul-search. A cold look came over her countenance at once, and she said, "How dare you slay a Chief God so brazenly? Cease your actions at once!"

"Who do you think you are?"

Meng Lei cast a glance at the Life Dominus.

"What insolence!"

Vados barked, "This is the great Life Dominus. How dare you show her disrespect!"

"The Life Dominus?"

Meng Lei sneered, "If it had been the actual Life Dominus herself who had come, perhaps I would show some restraint on account of her, but a divinity projection... Get lost!"

Meng Lei let out an icy snort after he spoke, causing wild, violent sound waves to erupt into the surroundings. The Life Dominus' divinity projection exploded at once, turning into a million glimmering dots that vanished into the sky.

"This..."

Vados shook with anger. She had never once imagined that Meng Lei would actually be so bold as to blast even the Life Dominus' divinity projection into smithereens. This was no longer something that could be described as mere "extreme audacity"—his actions were practically lawless and perverse!

That was the great, supreme Life Dominus!!

"Feel free to call for the four great Juggernauts."

Meng Lei glanced at Vados and said, "It's best if they all come over. Saves me the trouble of looking for them one by one."

Meng Lei then continued to leisurely conduct his soul-searches. He thought nothing of the four great Juggernauts who were about to come and of the other Chief Gods. This greatly infuriated Vados, yet there was nothing she could do about it. Meng Lei was too strong, so much so that it filled her with despair!

"You were the one that searched Thaniel's soul?"

"You were the one that searched Sacas' soul?"

"You were the one that searched Bubbles' soul?"

Following the Fire Phoenix Chief God and the Frost Chief God, the Giant Elephant Chief God, the Nature Chief God, the Behemoth Chief God, and the Scarab Chief God also had their souls searched by Meng Lei. Their deaths followed shortly after.

Be they lesser Chief Gods or intermediate Chief Gods, all of them perished in Meng Lei's hands. At last, only one Chief God remained... Chief God Vados.

"You're the only one left now."

Meng Lei went over to Vados.

"You can just kill me, but the four Juggernauts will avenge me!"

Vados had personally witnessed the six Chief Gods' deaths, and her emotions had run the gamut of panic, despair, fear, and indignation, and now it seemed like she had come to terms with it.

"Do you think I'll be afraid of the four Juggernauts?"

Chapter 406: Space Dominus, A Battle of Space

"Do you think I'll be afraid of the four Juggernauts?"

Meng Lei stared at Vados as if he were staring at an idiot. He said, "There have never been any fools among those that can reach our level of cultivation—with the exception of Chief Gods like the bunch of you, of course. After all, you're just a bunch of people who were lucky enough to assimilate Chief God divine cores."

Vados' expression changed drastically, and she exclaimed, "You're capable of contending with a Juggernaut?!"

A slight smile appeared on Meng Lei's face. Then, he pinched his fingers together lightly, easily gouging out Vados' Chief God divine core. He couldn't help but smile as he gazed at the dazzling, brilliant irregularly-shaped crystal.

"It seems like all 11 Chief God divine cores in the Earth Divine Realm are in my possession now! Say, Moro... Do you think I'll become a Supreme God straight away if I assimilate these 11 Chief God divine cores now?"

"Theoretically, it's entirely possible," Moro gave an affirmative reply, "However, because you haven't deified yet, you can't assimilate Chief God divine cores, so you'd better think of a way to deify first. instead!"

"I can deify any time I want." Meng Lei nodded slightly and said, "What I'm concerned about is whether it'll affect my ability to comprehend genesis laws of nature after I assimilate them?"

"Of course it will, but in a positive way instead."

Moro said without any hesitation, "Your divine spirit will become incredibly powerful once you deify. When your divine spirit becomes powerful, the level of difficulty involved in comprehending genesis laws of nature will naturally become lower. There's no doubt about that."

"In that case, I'll just deify, then!"

Meng Lei gave him a smile. Suddenly, a blink of light flashed across his eyes, and his lips curled up into a faint smile, and he commented, "But it seems like I don't have the time for it now."

"Oh?"

Moro raised an eyebrow.

"The great Juggernaut... has arrived!"

Before Meng Lei could even finish his sentence, an incomparably terrifying aura traveled over from afar. The air rippled slightly, and then, someone appeared 100 meters away.

He wore a bright silver robe embroidered with supreme laws of nature runes. His bright silver eyes were distant and aloof, containing no hint of emotion at all. His gaze swept across the area and fell onto the Chief God dead bodies scattered about the surroundings. At once, his brows drew together into a deep frown. Even though he had sped the whole way here, was he ultimately still a step too late?

Then, his gaze landed on Meng Lei's palm, where Vados' Chief God divine core was.

"O great Space Dominus, s-save me! Save me!"

Vados' fearful cries for help rang out from within the Chief God divine core.

"Chief God Vados!"

The Space Dominus' expression turned incredibly dark and sinister. If even Vados had been killed, then what about the other Earth Divine Realm Chief Gods? Where were the other Chief Gods' divine cores?

Sh*t!

The Space Dominus' heart sank. He knew what would happen when all the Chief God divine cores in a Divine Realm fell into the same person's hands, of course. That was something he absolutely didn't want to and was reluctant to see!

Why did the Chief God Treaty come to be?

On the surface, it was to prevent Chief Gods from killing one another, but its main purpose was ultimately still to prevent the emergence of a super Chief God. If a super Chief God... or even the legendary Supreme God were to be born, it would threaten the four Juggernauts' positions for sure!

This was something that the four Juggernauts didn't want to see, so it had resulted in the Chief God Treaty.

Yet the exact thing that the Juggernauts wished to see the least had still happened!

"I have to kill him before he assimilates all the Chief God divine cores! Otherwise, the consequences would be unthinkable!"

The Space Dominus glowered at Meng Lei with a razor-sharp look in his eyes. "Do you confess to your crimes, lowly ant?"

"My crimes?"

Meng Lei couldn't help but laugh. He replied, "I'd like to know what kind of crime I've committed. If even something like killing Chief Gods is considered a crime, then I'd rather see this crime through all the way to the end!"

"What insolence!"

The Space Dominus flew into a thundering rage. "You're a Great Perfection deity, yet you slaughter Chief Gods as you please. Your crimes are unpardonable! Surrender at once, otherwis—"

Meng Lei let out a contemptuous scoff and sneered, "O great Space Dominus, let's cut all that crap and let our skills speak for themselves instead. Show me what it is that allows you to stand among the four great Juggernauts and overlook the rest of the deities in the world!"

"Since you refuse to wake up to the error of your ways, then go to hell!" With his eyes devoid of any emotion, the Space Dominus uttered icily, "Space Confinement!"

Buzz!

Spatial laws of nature instantly descended upon Meng Lei, locking down the space around him. It seemed like even Meng Lei himself had become trapped to the spot.

"Space Blade!"

The Space Dominus tapped his finger in the air. A blade that glittered a bright silver color manifested in mid-air and shot out, going straight for Meng Lei's head.

"You're attacking me with spatial laws of nature?"

Meng Lei almost burst out laughing. Then, he glared at the blade, causing the Space Blade originally shooting toward him to instantly dissipate into the air as though it had never once appeared.

Meng Lei then lightly shrugged his shoulders, upon which the imprisoned space around him was also freed.

The Space Dominus frowned slightly. "You actually have such a high degree of comprehension toward spatial laws of nature?"

All he had heard from the Life Dominus was that Meng Lei had already comprehended both time-based and spatial laws of nature, but he had no inkling about how far the extent of his degree of comprehension concretely went.

However, from the brief exchange of blows just now, the Space Dominus had come to realize that Meng Lei had an exceptionally high degree of comprehension toward spatial laws of nature—it had already reached at least 50%!

Meng Lei said dispassionately, "I've already comprehended everything that you have, as well as what you haven't. So, don't bother showing off in front of an expert anymore."

"I'm showing off in front of an expert?"

The Space Dominus' expression darkened right away, and he showed up in front of Meng Lei with a flash of silver light. His right hand transformed into a Space Blade that slashed forcefully across Meng Lei's throat.

"You actually dare to come at me again?"

Meng Lei let out an icy snort and uttered, "Space Destruction!"

Boom!

Meng Lei had only just spoken when the dimension in front of him was suddenly destroyed. The air, magic elements, basic laws of nature, and even the dimension itself were crushed into a viscous, glue-like state, forming a black hole in the air.

The Space Dominus just so happened to dive right into the black hole, leading him to cry out at once.

He hurriedly retreated with a burst of speed, stopping only when he was a few kilometers away.

The robe that the Space Dominus was wearing was already gone, and even his eyebrows and hair had suffered a certain degree of damage. Had he not been the Space Dominus and possessed an incomparably powerful divine body, he would definitely have been in for it just now.

"How dare you!"

The Space Dominus was practically spitting fire from his eyes. Another robe quickly appeared on himself and covered his body from view. His eyes, as he glared at Meng Lei, brimmed with an endless amount of murderous intent.

"It's been so many years since the last time someone had thrown me into such a pathetic state. You're the first to do so since then. I'm going to rip you into a million pieces!"

Boom!

An incomparably violent, raging aura erupted from the Space Dominus., and the dimension around them cracked and broke into pieces like a fragile, brittle mirror. For a moment there, the whole dimension within 10 million kilometers of the Space Dominus was turned completely into a black hole.

The Space Dominus stood in the center of the black hole, his form glowing with a dazzling bright silver light. His entire self had become a bright silver color by now—this was the outward form that spatial laws of nature would take once physically manifested.

"Lowly ant, you shall understand how foolish it is to enrage a Juggernaut!"

The Space Dominus let out a long howl and made a grabbing motion in the air with his right hand. A bright silver greatsword formed wholly from spatial laws of nature quietly appeared. Engraved on the greatsword's surface were mysterious and profound spatial laws of nature runes.

"Cleave, Space Sword!"

The bright silver greatsword abruptly disappeared as the Space Dominus let out a deep roar. The next moment, the greatsword had already reached less than three inches away from the top of Meng Lei's head.

The greatsword... had teleported!

"I told you, these attacks are useless against me!"

Chapter 407: The Supreme Celestial Realm, Eternal Energy

A black hole hung high in the sky like a gigantic sun that was black in color. Clearly seen even from countless light-years away, it caught innumerable deities' attention.

"What's that? A black sun?"

"There must be super experts fighting over there!"

"Isn't that the Nidhogg clan's..."

The deities speculated among themselves as they gestured at the black hole.

Elsewhere, the many Chief Gods led by the three other Juggernauts finally arrived at the Earth Divine Realm. As they weren't in their own existential planes, the Chief Gods couldn't teleport and could only rely on flying as a means of travel.

A Chief God's flight speed wasn't to be doubted. Unfortunately, the Earth Divine Realm was simply too massive. This caused the Chief Gods' flight speed to appear relatively slow in comparison.

"That's..."

Mid-flight, the Juggernauts, and the Chief Gods also noticed the battle taking place above the Nidhogg Colossal Dragon Mountains. Unusual looks flashed across their eyes.

"From the looks of it, Adela is already engaged in an intense fight with that knave," remarked the Life Dominus whose green hair cascaded like a waterfall.

She had a rather displeased look on her face, especially upon her mention of Meng Lei. Her eyes were practically spitting fire.

The Chief Gods were overjoyed at her remark.

"With Lord Adela around, that knave is sure to surrender. The battle will probably already be over by the time we get there!"

"Exactly..."

The Death Dominus and the Destruction Dominus maintained dispassionate expressions on their countenances and refrained from commenting. Instead, they sped toward the Nidhogg clan headquarters.

"Let's go over, too!"

"I told you, these attacks are useless against me."

Meng Lei lightly shook his head as he gazed at the bright silver greatsword that appeared out of nowhere above him. A silver gleam flashed in his eyes, and a space-time rift formed right in front of him, swallowing the greatsword in one gulp.

Meng Lei looked at the Space Dominus and said calmly, "As they say, it doesn't fulfill propriety if one doesn't return as good as they receive. Here, have a taste of your own spatial greatsword!"

A space-time rift suddenly formed behind the Space Dominus before Meng Lei even finished his sentence. Then, the spatial greatsword that had just vanished a moment ago did a forward slash from within the rift and cleaved right at the Space Dominus.

"To think you've already fully comprehended spatial laws of nature!"

After exchanging a few blows, the Space Dominus had basically sounded out Meng Lei's degree of comprehension toward spatial laws of nature. He couldn't help but become alarmed and furious.

His alarm was because Meng Lei, a nobody, could actually fully comprehend a type of supreme laws of nature like the spatial laws of nature, while his fury was because the spatial laws of nature had originally been a domain exclusive to him. He had been the one and only person in the whole wide universe who fully comprehended spatial laws of nature, yet someone else had also comprehended them now. The Space Dominus felt as if someone had stolen something that belonged to him, and this filled him with extreme rage.

"It's too late to realize that now, though!"

Meng Lei snorted coldly. The bright silver gleam in his eyes disappeared before it was subsequently replaced by an unusually soft and gentle golden divine glow.

"Do you think my own attack will hit me? What a joke!"

The Space Dominus didn't even bother glancing at the spatial greatsword behind him. His eyes bore into Meng Lei like knives, and he said coldly, "Since you've already fully comprehended spatial laws of nature, then you must die. Only this Juggernaut is qualified to comprehend spatial laws of nature in this whole wide universe!"

As he spoke, he got ready to teleport from where he was so that he could dodge the spatial greatsword coming at him from the back.

However, it was at this exact moment that he suddenly felt a piercing pain on his back—the spatial greatsword had actually landed on the Space Dominus and cleaved a crack into that tough, virtually indestructible divine body of his!

"How can this be?"

The Space Dominus was flabbergasted. He knew very well how fast the spatial greatsword moved. According to his estimations, the timing should have been just right for him to dodge the spatial greatsword if he were to teleport now. But why had it struck him all the same?

"Go and read up a little on time acceleration!"

Meng Lei said dispassionately, "I forgot to mention this, but not only have I fully comprehended spatial laws of nature, but I've also done so for time-based laws of nature. Apart from those, there are also life laws of nature and destruction laws of nature. In other words, I've fully comprehended four types of supreme laws of nature. So, are you scared yet?"

"You've fully comprehended four types of supreme laws of nature?"

The Space Dominus was stunned for a moment before he sneered, "Quit bragging, you lowly ant. It's rare enough that you've even managed to fully comprehend spatial laws of nature, let alone three other types of supreme laws of nature. Aren't you afraid that others will laugh their heads off at your claims?"

It wasn't so much that the Space Dominus was looking down on Meng Lei. Rather, supreme laws of nature were simply too complex and profound. He, the Space Dominus, had the biggest right to speak with regard to how difficult and time-consuming comprehending supreme laws of nature was!

There was a limit to one's abilities, time, and talent!

It was almost impossible for someone to fully comprehend two types, let alone four!

"Believe what you will. In any case, it's more likely than not that you're going to die here today."

Meng Lei shook his head with a laugh and said, "Come to think of it, I've killed Great Perfection deities and slaughtered Chief Gods before, but slaying a Supreme Juggernaut is the only thing that I've not done before. I must say that it's really a form of regret! Therefore, I'm going to make you, the Space Dominus, the sacrifice today!"

"You're going to kill me? With the likes of you?"

The Space Dominus burst into loud, unrestrained laughter as though he had just heard the funniest joke in the whole universe, and his laughter reverberated throughout the sky like roiling thunderclaps.

"Is it that funny?" Meng Lei cocked an eyebrow. "You can bring yourself to laugh when you're already standing at death's door?"

"I'm laughing at your idiocy and utter stupidity!"

The Space Dominus ceased his laughter and said, "I'll tell you something—you can't kill me even if you've comprehended all five types of supreme laws of nature. Do you know the reason why?"

"Why?"

Meng Lei raised an eyebrow.

"It's because of the supreme Celestial Realm."

Moro's voice rang out at this point. "Unlike the ten major Divine Realms, the supreme Celestial Realm is not a high-end existential plane but a supreme existential plane."

"So what even if it's a supreme existential plane?"

A look of puzzlement came over Meng Lei's features.

"Why is a supreme existential plane acknowledged as such?"

As though he were answering his own question, Moro explained, "Apart from having vast territories that go far beyond a high-end existential plane's and a near-limitless amount of Power of Existential Plane, it also possesses one other thing that high-end existential planes lack."

"And what might that be?" asked a puzzled Meng Lei.

Moro explained, "Like what I've previously mentioned, ordinary existential planes' Hearts of The Existential Plane are formed from a combination of the ten basic types of laws of nature and ten types of Power of Origin.

"Whereas high-end existential planes' Hearts of The Existential Plane are formed from the ten basic types of laws of nature, ten types of Power of Origin, five types of supreme laws of nature, as well as their respective supreme law of nature powers. However, supreme existential planes' Hearts of The Existential Plane differ from this yet again."

"How so?"

Meng Lei was even more puzzled now.

"Apart from the 15 types of laws of nature and their respective law of nature powers, a supreme Heart of The Existential Plane also contains one other thing, and that is... Eternal Energy."

Moro explained unhurriedly, "Like supreme laws of nature and their respective powers, Eternal Energy is also an undying substance. Eternal Energy will never deplete, disappear, erode, or be destroyed. Its immortality is absolute."

"Eternal Energy!" Meng Lei murmured under his breath.

"As a supreme Heart of The Existential Plane contains Eternal Energy, the supreme Celestial Realm's Heart of The Existential Plane is unlike the ten major Divine Realms' Hearts of The Existential Plane. The Chief God divine cores of these Juggernauts and Chief Gods from the supreme Celestial Realm are thus also different."

Moro said dispassionately, "Of course, to the Chief Gods of the supreme Celestial Realm, their Chief God divine cores are actually no different from the usual, either. This is because they can't mobilize or use the Eternal Energy in their Chief God divine cores at all."

"Why not?" asked a puzzled Meng Lei.

"Because they haven't comprehended any supreme laws of nature yet."

Moro chuckled and said, "You must understand that Eternal Energy is a kind of undying substance. One must therefore use another undying substance of equal level as a medium in order to mobilize and use it. However, none of the Chief Gods have fully comprehended any supreme laws of nature, so Eternal Energy is useless to them. Juggernauts, however, are different."

Moro went on. "Juggernauts have already fully comprehended some form of supreme laws of nature, so they are able to use the power of supreme laws of nature as mediums. Thus, they can mobilize and use Eternal Energy.

"They'll use Eternal Energy to remake their divine spirits and divine bodies, such that both become eternal and indestructible, thereby gaining the special characteristic of absolute immortality.

"Therefore, they can't be killed at all!"

"They can't?"

Chapter 408: Destroy My Divine Body, Take My Divine Core

Meng Lei could never have imagined that within the supreme Celestial Realm's Chief Gods' divine cores existed an imperishable substance like the Eternal Energy—never depleting, never disappearing, never eroding, an absolute eternal existence.

"It might be a little more of a hassle, but... this Eternal Energy seems like good stuff!"

Meng Lei's gaze fell on the Space Dominus. "O great Space Dominus, I didn't expect that your divine body and divine spirit were modified with Eternal Energy. Though that's surprising, do you think there's nothing I can do about you?"

"Cut your bluffs, little ant." The Space Dominus said coldly. "Since this isn't the supreme Celestial Realm, I can't unleash my full power here and finish you, but holding you up won't be an issue at all. Once the three other Juggernauts arrive, your time will come!"

"Hold me up? Isn't that too low a target as a Juggernaut?" Meng Lei scoffed. "My objective has always been killing you!"

The Space Dominus sneered while he looked at Meng Lei as if he was an idiot.

If you already know that I'm enhanced by Eternal Energy, how are you still dreaming of killing me? Is your brain damaged?

"Open your eyes and watch closely. I'll show you how you die!"

Meng Lei gave a faint smile as a gentle golden glow spilled from his eyes. "Time Freeze!"

Buzz!

The time-based laws of nature manifested as they engulfed the Space Dominus. At this moment, time had stopped for the Space Dominus.

His body had stopped.

His thoughts and consciousness have stopped as well.

Meng Lei walked step by step in front of the frozen Space Dominus and said, "In the Earth Divine Realm, you couldn't use your Power of Existential Plane, so that divine core of yours is practically non-existent. Other than your divine body and divine spirit, you're only just as good as an Ancient God who had fully comprehended the spatial laws of nature right now.

"That's the limit of a Chief God, and even a Juggernaut."

Moro's voice rang. "They can only use the Power of Existential Plane in their own existential plane in order to display their best abilities. Therefore, under normal circumstances, Chief Gods rarely ever leave their own existential planes to travel to another Divine Realm. It's simply too dangerous!"

Meng Lei nodded slightly. A dazzling silver light beam shot off from his right hand to form a Space Blade before he slashed toward the forehead of the Space Dominus.

Ching!

The Space Blade struck the Space Dominus' forehead as if it hit an indestructible metal, causing a series of sparks. Other than that, it did not harm the Space Dominus the slightest bit.

"Such a high-level defense!"

Meng Lei was dumbfounded.

"This is a Juggernaut, after all."

Moro reminded him. "I've told you before, a Juggernaut's divine body and divine spirit were modified by the Eternal Energy, making them indestructible. It would be exceptionally tough if you want to damage him!"

"His defense stats might be high, but..."

Meng Lei sneered. "If I'm not wrong, he was hurt from his own spatial greatsword!"

Meng Lei emanated a glittering bright silver glow while spatial laws of nature chains came out from the Void. It manifested into a sparkling silver spatial greatsword and slashed instantly.

Crack!

The power of the spatial greatsword did not need any further introduction. It slashed onto the Space Dominus' head at lightning-quick speed, splitting his head in half, and revealed a dazzling irregular crystal silently hovering around.

Meng Lei gouged out the crystal casually. It was the Chief God divine core of the Space Dominus. "Without the Chief God divine core, you're basically nothing!

"Although he's modified by the Eternal Energy, the Space Dominus' divine body isn't completely made of it. It couldn't block the spatial greatsword's attack."

Moro smiled and said, "After all, his spatial greatsword was manifested from the spatial laws of nature power that is pure immortality essence."

"Exactly!"

Meng Lei nodded as he stopped the time freeze. The Space Dominus's thoughts and consciousness started to run and operate, but he was horrified at what he saw.

He saw his own divine body.

He saw his head split into halves.

He saw the Chief God divine core in Meng Lei's hand.

"How did this happen?"

The Space Dominus was shocked and horrified at the scene as he shouted hysterically.

"O great Space Dominus, let's not be agitated and relax a bit!"

Meng Lei looked at the Chief God divine core in his hand and gave a sly laugh. "After all, no matter how agitated you are, it won't change the fact that you're going to die in my hands!"

"Knave, how dare you destroy my divine body and snatch away my divine core!" The Space Dominus widened his eyes to the point of splitting. "I'm a supreme Juggernaut, the highest order of existence in the entire universe! How dare you!"

"You might be honorable in the past, but not anymore!"

Meng Lei shook his head slightly. "Without the Chief God divine core, you're just a Supreme Great Perfection deity who comprehended the spatial laws of nature. Wait, you're not even a Supreme Great Perfection deity since your divine spirit is still in my hands!"

"Knave! You treacherous, unforgivable, heinous—"

The Space Dominus broke down. He would never have imagined that an existence like him would end up in this state one day. He was a supreme Juggernaut, after all!

"You're too noisy!"

Meng Lei frowned slightly with some annoyance. He knew that taking out the Space Dominus' Chief God divine core was simple, but it would be really difficult to destroy the divine spirit within the divine core.

Apart from the fact that the Space Dominus' divine spirit was imperishable, just the Juggernaut-class divine spirit was something Meng Lei could not kill at his current level. His divine spirit was only at the level of a lesser Chief God, so the gap between him and the divine spirit of the Space Dominus was almost insurmountable to close.

The Grim Reaper's Eye?

It would be too tough now.

Meng Lei's divine spirit was too weak after all.

"System, enhance my divine spirit!" Meng Lei ordered.

"Ding! The host's divine spirit is currently comparable to a lesser Chief God's and will rival that of an intermediate Chief God's after enhancement. Enhancement cost is estimated at 100 trillion Divinity Crystals." The system asked coldly, "Will you enhance it?"

"Yes, enhance it!"

Whoosh!

"Again, system!"

"Ding! The host's divine spirit is currently comparable to an intermediate Chief God's and will rival that of a higher Chief God's after enhancement. Enhancement cost is estimated at 5,000 trillion Divinity Crystals." The system asked coldly, "Will you enhance it?"

"5,000 t-trillion?"

Meng Lei swept a look at the stats interface as he became stuck in a dilemma. He had 12,709 trillion Divinity Crystals left, but 10,000 trillion Divinity Crystals were left for the comprehension of the destruction laws of nature and the life laws of nature. Hence, he would have 2,709 trillion Divinity Crystals left.

It's not enough for 5000 trillion!

A gleam flashed past Meng Lei's eyes.

How much can I earn if I kill the Space Dominus? 5,000 trillion should not be an issue, right? It's a supreme Juggernaut, after all!

With such a thought in mind, Meng Lei promptly gave the order. "System, enhance it!"

Whoosh!

His Wealth went down by 5,000 trillion Divinity Crystals.

An incomparable warm current surged into his sea of consciousness and started to enhance Meng Lei's divine spirit incessantly. After a few minutes, the process finally came to an end.

At that moment, Meng Lei felt that his divine spirit was never so powerful before. It was as deep as the ocean and as vast and boundless as the starry skies. The range of his divine cognition could easily cover tens of thousands of light-years, making it terribly powerful.

"Kill! Grim Reaper's Eye!"

The divine spirits of a higher Chief God and a lesser Chief God were entirely different. If Meng Lei had no confidence in killing the divine spirit of the Space Dominus, now he was 100% sure that he could finish off the divine spirit.

Why?

The difference between a Juggernaut and a higher Chief God was only half the comprehension of one supreme laws of nature, and Meng Lei already completely comprehended two.

"Kill! Grim Reaper's Eye!"

Meng Lei opened the Grim Reaper's Eye in between his brows as a tricolored divine light burst forth, aiming directly at the divine core of the Space Dominus.

Buzz!

The tricolored divine light penetrated the divine core and engulfed the divine spirit as it started to extract and separate it from the Space Dominus.

"Damn it!"

The Space Dominus was aghast as he struggled madly. Meng Lei let out a cold snort and used another Time Freeze on the Space Dominus, immobilizing him on the spot.

Whoosh!

Without resistance, Meng Lei extracted the divine spirit from the divine core effortlessly into his Grim Reaper's Eye.

As the 'pulverizer' within the Grim Reaper's Eye started to pulverize the divine spirit, Meng Lei felt the true extent of the strength of a Juggernaut's divine spirit.

No matter how the 'pulverizer' tried to grind and crush it, the divine spirit of the Space Dominus was like a sticky candy that was too tough to swallow.

"A divine spirit modified by the Eternal Energy is that tough?" Meng Lei was dismayed.

"That's a certainty!" Moro gave a faint smile. "The Eternal Energy is the same as the powers of supreme laws of nature. They are all undying substances that will never be destroyed. Divine spirits and divine bodies that were modified by Eternal Energy would share the same special attribute.

"See for yourself."

Moro pointed to the Space Dominus' divine core and said with a smile, "His head was slashed open by his spatial greatsword just now. But it only took a little while for his head to regenerate as if nothing had happened to it."

Meng Lei looked over, and the head was indeed restored as before. It was sleek and smooth without any visible scars.

"That's freaky indeed," Meng Lei exclaimed. "But there'll always be a way."

"You know a way to destroy the Space Dominus' divine spirit?" Moro raised an eyebrow as he asked.

"We'll know once I try." Meng Lei chuckled and ordered, "System, plunder the Eternal Energy within the Space Dominus' divine spirit."

"Ding! Plundering target: Divine spirit of the Space Dominus. Target substance: Eternal Energy. Plundering cost is estimated at 5,000 trillion Divinity Crystals." The system asked coldly, "Will you plunder it?"

Meng Lei had an urge to curse badly.

I didn't let you plunder the divine core of the Space Dominus in the first place just to cut my expenses, thinking that the price was too outrageous.

Now great, I had already extracted his divine spirit, and the price is still so outrageous. You're bullying an honest man, aren't you?

I would rather not kill the Space Dominus' divine spirit and rather let him go than to spend so much money just to plunder this Eternal Energy!

"Ding! Will you plunder it?"

"Plunder it!"

Whoosh!

An inexplicable force from an unseen world enveloped the divine spirit of the Space Dominus as it began to extract the Eternal Energy from within. The Space Dominus did not struggle and scream...

Time was frozen for him after all.

After around two minutes, the Eternal Energy within the divine spirit seemed to be gone as the cue tone of the system rang. "Ding! You've obtained Eternal Energy. Will you assimilate it?"

"Assimilate it," Meng Lei perked up, "Into my divine spirit!"

Whoosh!

Meng Lei had only just spoken when colorless and odorless energy that was lukewarm was injected into his divine spirit.

Immediately after, his divine spirit underwent unknown changes. No strengthening, no compressing as nothing could be felt. The entire process was like water diffusing into alcohol silently.

"That's it? That's the whole assimilation process? There was no feeling at all!"

Meng Lei shook his head slightly while pure, condensed energy rushed into his sea of consciousness and entered his divine spirit. It was only then that Meng Lei realized that the Grim Reaper's Eye had already crushed the Space Dominus' divine spirit...

"Ding! Space Dominus killed. 2 Supreme Divinity Crystals gained!"

Meng Lei smiled. Without Eternal Energy, the divine spirit of the Space Dominus was no longer imperishable, while the Grim Reaper's Eye had done its job.

"This Eternal Energy is indeed dramatically good!

"But, I didn't expect that I could obtain 2 Supreme Divinity Crystals from killing him."

2 Supreme Divinity Crystals equaled 20,000 trillion Divinity Crystals, after all.

It did not just cover the 10,000 trillion Divinity Crystals he had spent, but there were also another 10,000 trillion Divinity Crystals. He struck another fortune this time.

Meng Lei swept a glance at his stats interface.

Wealth: 22,709 trillion Divinity Crystals

"22,000 Divinity Crystals will be enough to comprehend the life, destruction, and death laws of nature. Killing is the one and only way to get rich!"

Meng Lei remarked as he kept the divine core and divine body of the Space Dominus.

He placed the divine core together with the other 11 Chief God divine cores while the divine body got thrown to the little golden tree in the Tower of Time.

If it was any other divine body, Meng Lei could not care less. However, the Space Dominus' divine body was different as it contained Eternal Energy. He wanted to know whether this mysterious 'little' tree could devour Eternal Energy.

After devouring countless bodies of deities, it had grown into a big golden tree. Branches flourished from the tree, as the golden tree was like a luxurious art piece that emanated an aura of class.

Swoosh!

Upon sensing the presence of the Space Dominus' divine body, the golden tree's roots started to move over.

Stab, stab, stab.

The roots easily penetrated the indestructible divine body of the Space Dominus and started to absorb its life essence.

A Juggernaut-class divine body would naturally contain a massive amount of life essence as the golden tree absorbed and grew at a visible speed.

110 meters, 120 meters, 130 meters...

At the same time, the Space Dominus' divine body dried up at a visible speed as well.

After around ten minutes, the body had become a piece of dried-up skin which dissipated into the air when a slight wind blew.

"The Space Dominus' divine body is gone just like that? Isn't it imperishable and absolutely eternal? What about the Eternal Energy within?"

Meng Lei looked dazed as he knew how great the defense of that divine body was—ignoring the fact that the golden tree could penetrate the body with ease, what happened to Eternal Energy and its special characteristic of indestructibility?

Nothing!

Nothing at all!

Or rather, it became useless.

"Why is the divine body of the Space Dominus no different from the bodies of other deities in front of the little golden tree?"

Meng Lei was getting increasingly curious about the background of the golden tree. It was a pity that no one could answer him, and he could only find it out himself.

"Never mind, I'll look into it later."

Meng Lei left the Tower of Time and gave orders to the system.

"System, buy credit for the life laws of nature."

"System, buy credit for the destruction laws of nature."

"System, buy credit for the death laws of nature."

Chapter 410: Fully Comprehending Them All, The Three Juggernauts Make Their Appearance

Buying credit for three types of supreme laws of nature one after another drained Meng Lei of 15,000 trillion Divinity Crystals right away. However, the move brought about an extremely astonishing effect.

Meng Lei's field of view was currently filled with endless laws of nature chains.

There were purplish-red chains that represented destruction laws of nature; ghastly white chains that represented death laws of nature; jade-green chains that represented life laws of nature; and of course, golden chains that represented time-based laws of nature, and bright silver chains that represented spatial laws of nature.

Apart from these, there were also chains formed by the ten basic laws of nature. They were derived from the five supreme laws of nature, but compared to the supreme laws of nature chains themselves, the basic laws of nature chains were just like fireflies beside the radiant, blazing sun or little lakes at the edges of the vast ocean...

They weren't in the same league at all!

These supreme laws of nature chains correlated well with one another and also combined with one another in an extremely harmonious manner. They filled up every corner of the vast universe, reigning over the almost boundless universe itself.

Meng Lei's gaze swept across the area quickly. These incomparably mysterious, profound, complex, and abstruse supreme laws of nature that—despite exhausting countless years of research on them—even the Supreme Juggernauts found hard to fully understand were, however, clearly visible to Meng Lei.

The meaning behind every chain segment and the profoundness of each chain—they were all as simple as 11=2 to him. They held no secrets at all.

It was no exaggeration to say that in this very instant where Meng Lei fully and thoroughly comprehended the five supreme laws of nature, it was as if the vast universe had become a naked young lady in his eyes—all of its secrets had been revealed!

In fact... Meng Lei could even see the powers of supreme laws of nature!

At the "tail" of every supreme laws of nature chain was a mysterious dimension filled with an endless mist made up of five different colors—soft, gentle golden mist; dazzling bright silver mist; jade-green mist brimming with life and vigor; purplish-red mist filled with the aura of destruction; and ghastly white mist containing an endless amount of aura of death.

This was another undying substance that corresponded to supreme laws of nature—the Power of Supreme Laws of Nature.

As long as Meng Lei wanted to, he could, at any time, mobilize and use these supreme laws of nature and Power of Supreme Laws of Nature to battle, modify, enhance...

"Supreme laws of nature! And Power of Supreme Laws of Nature!"

Meng Lei heaved a long, drawn-out sigh. Astonishment and marvel filled his eyes as he remarked, "These are two types of undying substances! Undying substances that I can totally mobilize and use!"

Mobilizing and using undying substances—what kind of concept was that?

Perhaps Meng Lei wouldn't have understood in the past, but after chatting about so much with Moro, how would he possibly not understand what mobilizing undying substances meant?

It meant that he could extract these two types of undying substances to modify his divine body and divine spirit. This way, he would attain an immortal soul and an immortal divine body, thereby safely surviving the Great Reincarnation And Destruction Process...

"What exactly are you doing, kid?"

Moro's anxious voice rang out beside his ear at this point. He chided, "The three Juggernauts are already on their way here to kill you, yet you're still spacing out? Are you tired of living?!"

Meng Lei snapped back to reality with a start to see anxiety all over Moro's visage.

"What's the matter, Moro?"

Meng Lei raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Goddamn it, you've finally come to!"

Moro heaved a long sigh of relief. Then, he barked, "Spread your senses and feel it for yourself. The three Juggernauts have already marched straight to the Earth Divine Realm. Hurry up and flee!"

"They are already here?"

Meng Lei slightly spread his senses into the surroundings, upon which he indeed sensed three incredibly fearsome auras. Deep as a chasm and bottomless like the ocean, their auras were in no way inferior to the Space Dominus'. On top of that, there were also about 100 other slightly weaker auras around those three auras—those were the auras of almost 100 Chief Gods.

"Tsk, tsk! They're finally here!" The corners of Meng Lei's lips curled upward as he commented, "They've kept me waiting for so long!"

"What are you spacing out here for? Hurry and run!"

Upon seeing Meng Lei standing idly on the spot like a wooden block, Moro became so anxious that he barked, "That's three Juggernauts teaming up with almost 100 Chief Gods! You have no chance of winning at all. Hurry up and run! Otherwise, you'll be dead meat for sure!"

"Run?"

Meng Lei shook his head lightly. "That's nothing more than just three Juggernauts. They aren't qualified enough to make me run upon hearing about their arrivals yet."

"You won't be able to fight a mob by yourself, kid!"

Moro berated him. "Perhaps you can kill a Juggernaut when they are alone, but there's no comparing that with the joint destructive power of three Juggernauts and 100 Chief Gods. How can you resist them when you're just a lone person? Hurry up and run instead. Where's there's life, there's hope!"

"Save your breath, Moro."

Meng Lei shook his head with a smile and said, "Be it three Juggernauts or a hundred, they are but just people who enjoy a reputation unwarranted by any real skill. My strength is far beyond what you can imagine!"

Exasperated at Meng Lei's response, Moro said, "You've become too full of yourself, kid. To think you don't even think much of the three great Juggernauts anymore!"

"You'll see whether or not I've become too full of myself or not later!"

Meng Lei gave him a smile and said no more.

"Fine, I'll wait and see, then!"

The three Juggernauts and Chief Gods that numbered almost a hundred of them moved at the same time. Moreover, they didn't bother concealing the force of their presence at all. Thus, the resulting aura was naturally incomparably fearsome.

Everywhere they passed by, innumerable deities were left unable to even lift their heads in their wake. Their presence also alarmed innumerable experts, causing a great furor to go through the Earth Divine Realm.

"W-what fearsome pressure and might!

"What kind of experts are those, exactly?!"

"All of them must at least be Great Perfection deities!"

"Great Perfection? Even Chief Gods aren't as powerful as that!"

Even though they couldn't teleport in the Earth Divine Realm, the three Juggernauts and Chief Gods nevertheless moved at high speeds that far exceeded that of any other expert there.

A few hours later, they finally arrived in the sky above the Nidhogg Colossal Dragon Mountains.

"They're finally here!"

Meng Lei slowly got up, a hint of a smile surfacing in his eyes as he gazed at the three Juggernauts and close to a hundred Chief Gods making their grand appearances.

Dressed in purplish-red robes, the Destruction Dominus had a head of long purplish-red hair and a pair of purplish-red eyes. The aura of destruction surged powerfully around him. It soundlessly wrecked the void around him, causing a barely-discernible black hole to form.

The Death Dominus was a skinny, haggard-looking elderly man. Hunched over and trembling all over, it seemed like even a gust of wind could knock him off his feet.

The Life Dominus was a raving beauty. Her long jade-green hair cascaded like a waterfall. There was a strong air of exuberance and vitality around her, and she gave off a rich aura of vitality and vigor.

The three Juggernauts' stately and dignified gazes immediately fell onto Meng Lei the moment they appeared, looking up and down as if they were trying to see through him.

"Where's the Space Dominus, knave?"

Killing intent showed in the Life Dominus' eyes, and she gravely barked a question at Meng Lei. Her voice was originally very light and gentle, much like the March spring breeze that refreshed and invigorated one's senses.

But in this instant, all everyone could feel was just an iciness that chilled one to the bones welling up in their hearts, and they couldn't help but shiver. Her voice was simply too cold.

"The Space Dominus? I've killed him," replied Meng Lei simply.

"What did you just say?"

"You've... You've killed him?"

Meng Lei had answered casually as if he were just touching on the subject lightly, but his words were no less impactful than a nuclear bomb explosion. They set off frightful billows and raging waves in the Juggernauts' and Chief Gods' hearts.

Who was the Space Dominus?

That was one of the four great Juggernauts of the vast universe! He was someone that truly stood at the very pinnacle of power in the whole of the universe! How could he possibly have died?

"Don't talk rubbish, knave."

The Life Dominus said coldly, "Not only is the Space Dominus immortal and undying, but he also wields the power of spatial laws of nature. Even if he is no match for you, he can very well leave easily. No one in the whole world can kill him!"

The Destruction Dominus, the Death Dominus, and the Chief Gods nodded. If one must pick someone among the four Juggernauts as the one who was the hardest to kill, it would be the Space Dominus.

He had comprehended spatial laws of nature and could easily cross a distance of endless light-years with a single teleport. His ability to flee for his life was undoubtedly the strongest in the world. Killing him?

Not even the three Juggernauts could do it even if they were to team up!

"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. What matters is that all of you are going to die!"

Chapter 411: Time Prison, The Power of Destruction

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Strong gusts of cold winds blew. An exceedingly stifling atmosphere filled the sky above the Nidhogg Colossal Dragon Mountains.

The three great Juggernauts from the supreme Celestial Realm and the 134 Chief Gods from the ten Divine Realms stood proudly in the air. Every one of them gave off a strong, surging aura that seemed as deep as the abyss and as bottomless as the oceans. Opposite them stood Meng Lei, a lone man.

On one side were the three great Juggernauts and 134 Chief Gods, while on the other was Meng Lei!

Judging from the lineup alone, the two parties were in two completely different leagues. There was no comparability between the two at all.

Anyone would be scared witless and lose every ounce of battle spirit if they were surrounded by the three Juggernauts and 134 Chief Gods, yet Meng Lei was calm and collected, his demeanor light and casual. It was as if he wasn't facing the three great Juggernauts and 134 Chief Gods but a bunch of cats and dogs instead.

"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not," Meng Lei waved lightly and said, "What matters is that all of you are about to die!"

"Die?"

The three Juggernauts and 134 Chief Gods were mildly taken aback for a moment when they heard Meng Lei's words, but soon after, they let out contemptuous scoffs of laughter as looks of disdain and mockery came over their faces.

The Death Dominus cackled, his voice incredibly hoarse and ear-piercing. He said, "Kid, I don't know what you've done to the Space Dominus, but... Killing us? Are you still in your dreams?"

"How arrogant and presumptuous!"

The Destruction Dominus let out a cold snort.

"You overestimate yourself," said the Life Dominus coldly.

A Chief God with a pair of horns on his hand also ordered coldly, "The three great Juggernauts are standing before you, knave! Get onto your knees, kowtow, and own up to your mistakes! What are you still waiting for?"

"Get onto your knees!"

"Get onto your knees!"

"Get onto your knees!"

The other Chief Gods also spoke up one after another. Roiling sound waves converged and formed a majestic torrent of voices that surged brazenly toward Meng Lei from everywhere.

Boom!

Had it been anyone else facing these shocking and earth-shattering torrents of voices, the resulting reverberations would already have knocked them dead a long time ago. Even if they survived, their souls would also end up destroyed.

However, Meng Lei remained unmoved as though it was the spring breeze caressing his face. No matter how the torrent of voices pressed down upon him, he simply stood steadily where he was like a bastion of stability from start to finish.

"You want me to get onto my knees? With the likes of you?"

Meng Lei shook his head with a scoff and said, "I'm not looking down on you, but I just want to say that be it a Juggernaut or a Chief God, all of them are... Trash!"

"How dare you!"

The three Juggernauts' expressions turned cold at once. Towering divine power gushed out of them and crushed down brazenly upon Meng Lei like great surging tidal waves, seemingly trying to flatten him onto the ground.

It was just a shame that Meng Lei still remained calm and unaffected even against such vast and mighty divine power. He said, "You said just now that I've become too full of myself, Moro. Open your eyes wide and watch this closely now, and see whether I've become too full of myself or not!"

"What are you intending to do?" asked Moro in a low voice.

"You'll see right away!"

A dispassionate smile graced Meng Lei's lips. Then, he reached out a finger and barked, "Where are you, time-based laws of nature?"

Buzz!

A golden laws of nature chain suddenly came from the sky above the moment he spoke.

The laws of nature chain emanated a vast aura of time. The sight of it gave different people completely different feels.

Ancient and decayed!

Prosperous and flourishing!

Distant and eternal!

While everyone was still immersed in their unique moments of enlightenment, the golden chain split into two, then into four, and next into eight. Then, the eight golden chains attacked the Juggernauts and the others from eight different directions.

"These are time-based laws of nature chains! Get back!"

The three Juggernauts retreated with a burst of speed. Their movement speeds were beyond comparison, and they went 10 million kilometers away in an instant, successfully evading the eight chains' siege.

The Chief Gods, however, weren't so lucky. Not only were they half a beat slower, but the eight golden chains also moved incredibly swiftly, and they ended up becoming surrounded by the chains.

Buzz!

The eight laws of nature chains instantly linked together to form a golden prison of chains that imprisoned the 134 Chief Gods.

"Damn it!"

"C'mon, break!!"

Greatly alarmed, the 134 Chief Gods turned pale, and they quickly began to attack the laws of nature cage. However, something that shocked and dismayed them happened—as though the laws of nature cage was just an illusory one, all their attacks passed right through the cage upon landing. They didn't affect the cage in the least.

"I can't attack it?"

"How did that happen?"

The Chief Gods found this incredible. The golden cage was clearly imprisoning them within, and they couldn't escape from it at all, so why couldn't they attack it?

"That's Time Prison!"

"Based on how he can mobilize time-based laws of nature to attack at will, it looks like he's already fully comprehended time-based laws of nature!"

"He's... Fully comprehended time-based laws of nature?"

"It'll... probably be very difficult for us to kill him!"

All three Juggernauts wore awful looks on their faces. Time-based laws of nature was a type of supreme laws of nature, and every type of supreme laws of nature possessed entirely different powers.

Destruction laws of nature ruled over destruction;

Death laws of nature ruled over death;

Life laws of nature ruled over life;

Spatial laws of nature ruled over dimensional space;

In the same vein, time-based laws of nature definitely ruled over time itself!

Time was intangible. Time-based laws of nature's destructive abilities might not be as great as that of destruction laws of nature and death laws of nature, but their strange and peculiar nature made them highly elusive and enigmatic!

Most importantly, no one had fully mastered time-based laws of nature prior to Meng Lei. Therefore, none of the Juggernauts had any experience in battling time-based laws of nature.

This was what gave the three Juggernauts the biggest headache!

"Damn it!"

"I can't attack it!"

"How did this happen?"

The 134 Chief Gods trapped in the Time Prison were unusually anxious. Their attacks couldn't even touch the cage at all. How were they supposed to fight this?

"You actually want to punish me? With the likes of all of you?"

Meng Lei took step after step toward the Time Prison and went right up to it. A look of slight disdain surfaced in his eyes as he gazed at the panic-stricken Chief Gods.

"You knave! Release me if you dare!"

A Behemoth Chief God with firm, intertwining muscles and golden fur all over him shouted fiercely, "What's so impressive about using this kind of weird method to trap us? Release me and fight me head-on if you dare!"

Meng Lei's gaze swept across the Behemoth Chief God. His divine body was strong and powerful, and he gave off astonishing divine power. The aura around him was much more powerful than the Behemoth Chief God whom Meng Lei had previously killed.

He was evidently a higher Chief God!

"You want to fight head-on with me?" Meng Lei shook his head with a smile and said, "Sure, I'll satisfy your request!"

Meng Lei gave a grand wave and sent the Behemoth Chief God out of the Time Prison. The moment he appeared, the Behemoth Chief God let out a roar and smashed its fist toward Meng Lei.

His divine body was strong and powerful, and he possessed Herculean strength. His punch was powerful enough to smash any intermediate Chief God dead, and even most higher Chief Gods would have to shy away from it.

Unfortunately...

Meng Lei shook his head a little. A purplish-red ball of energy formed at his fingertip, becoming bigger and bigger. By the time the Behemoth Chief God's fist reached him, the energy ball had already become as big as a basketball.

"Go!"

With a flick of Meng Lei's fingers, the energy ball crashed full frontal into the Behemoth Chief God's fist.

Buzz!

A shocking sight ensued—the iron fist that carried a fierce momentum and was mighty enough to smash the Nidhogg Continent into bits and pieces was instantly destroyed the moment it came into contact with the energy ball. As though it was a moth that had stumbled straight into bubbling lava, next was his forearm, his upper arm, and at last, his shoulder...

"How can this be?"

The Behemoth Chief God stared at his right arm that had soundlessly disappeared upon being destroyed, his eyes big and round. Shock and incredulity filled his eyes.

"No matter how powerful your divine body is, in the face of destruction laws of nature, it has no choice but to be destroyed and disappear!"

Meng Lei shook his head slightly. This was what destruction laws of nature were like—they soundlessly destroyed and wiped out everything without needing much ado.

A couple of breaths later, the energy ball continued to float undamaged in the air, whereas the Behemoth Chief God had vanished—for life. The energy ball had completely annihilated him, leaving behind nothing at all.

At the sight of this, the other 133 Chief Gods trapped in the Time Prison felt their scalps going numb.

"The power of destruction laws of nature!"

"Damn! That's the power of destruction laws of nature!"
