Chapter 282: Intermediate Deity, The Looted Dragon’s Den
Super Pickup—picking up from high-end existential planes!
Super Plunder—even Chief God’s divine cores could be plundered!
Super Enhancement—bloodlines, Physical Body Constitution, Spirit, divine cores, divine weapons... could all be enhanced!
Upon looking at the three functions, Meng Lei was excited.
Even though the system upgrade cost him a painstaking 10 billion Laws of Nature Origin Crystals, the new functions after the upgrade lifted his spirits.
They deserved the word ‘Super’ in their names!
Meng Lei could imagine that his powers would undergo a tremendous change with the help of these three new functions.
The prerequisite was... money! Enough money!
I need money! A lot of money!
Meng Lei exclaimed in his mind. The new functions were so powerful, yet he was still a poor fellow! That was tragic!
And so, Meng Lei started his killing spree!
In the 16th existential plane, he earned around 1.1 billion Laws of Nature Origin Crystals.
In the 17th existential plane, he earned around 1.3 billion Laws of Nature Origin Crystals.
In the 18th existential plane, he earned around 0.9 billion Laws of Nature Origin Crystals.
...
After some hard work of plundering the remaining 33 existential planes, wiping out the demons in the process, Meng Lei earned a total of 34.2 billion Laws of Nature Origin Crystals.
“Now that’s 3,420,000 Divinity Crystals!”
Meng Lei licked his lips and asked, “System, without further ado, enhance my divine spirit, I want to break through to become an intermediate deity!”
“Host, your Spirit is at the pinnacle-level lesser deity, it will reach intermediate deity after enhancement. Enhancement price: 100,000 Divinity Crystals!”
The system asked coldly, “Will you undergo enhancement?”
“Enhance it, I’m rich!”
Meng Lei did not hesitate as he felt generous.
Whoosh!
His Wealth decreased by 100,000 Divinity Crystals in an instant.
Boom!
At the same time, a golden energy current rushed into his sea of consciousness and toward the divine spirit flame. The divine spirit flame flared up instantly as if oil was added to it.
Boom, boom, boom!
2 times, 3 times, 4 times...
When the injection of golden energy was complete, the divine spirit flame’s intensity was 10 times higher than before.
If the divine spirit flame before was a little ball of fire, it was now an inferno. It was completely different than before.
“So this is the level of intermediate deity?”
Meng Lei enjoyed the wonderful feeling after his divine spirit was strengthened. He even almost moaned in satisfaction—it was simply too comfortable!
He checked his stats interface.
Host: Meng Lei
Race: Human (Primeval Bloodline: Primordial Human <16%>, Assimilated Bloodlines: Gods-Slaying Rat, Divine Netherworld Phoenix<Youth>, Hundred-Armed Giant)
Wealth: 3.32 million Divinity Crystals
Physical Body Constitution: Metal-Origin Divine Body (1%)
Spirit: Intermediate-Deity (Elementary-Grade)
Power of Divinity: 200 Divinity Crystals
“The physique of an intermediate deity! The divine spirit of an intermediate deity! Wahaha, I’m an intermediate deity too!”
Meng Lei was excited as he could not help laughing to vent his excitement.
Of course, other than being excited, Meng Lei did not forget an important matter—Cyrus’ wealth.
Indeed, the Dark Demonic Dragon’s wealth!
Although it was a Dark Demonic Dragon, Cyrus was a dragon after all. It was passionate about collecting treasures, and it had 48 existential planes under its control!
Hence, it was much wealthier than other intermediate deities, like a huge dirty rat hoarding vast amounts of health.
How could Meng Lei miss out on this opportunity?
After returning to the Demonic Dragon Continent, Meng Lei rushed to Cyrus’ den straight away. However, Meng Lei was left furious by the results.
The den... it was empty!
The treasure... all gone!!
“F*ck! Damn it!”
Meng Lei was enraged. “Who dares to steal my treasure?”
Meng Lei was extremely angry. He had already wiped out all the demons in the Demonic Dragon Continent, so the treasures couldn’t have disappeared in thin air.
Someone must have stolen it!
“Someone actually dares to steal my treasure!”
Meng Lei extended his divine cognition throughout the Demonic Dragon Continent through the Heart of the Existential Plane and started searching.
Nothing in the east... Nothing in the north... Nothing in the west... the south...
“Eh?”
At once, Meng Lei vanished on the spot.
...
The north of the Heaven’s Vault Continent was the Far Northern Icelands. The south, on the other hand, was the lush Fairy Forests. The north was frozen and silent, while the south was full of life.
The Demonic Dragon Continent was the complete opposite.
The Demonic Dragon Continent’s north’s weather was spring all year round, while the south was covered in ice and snow. Other than ice demons, other demons could hardly survive here.
However, after Meng Lei’s massacre, the south’s ice demons were dead as the rest of the demons in the Demonic Dragon Continent. There should not be any signs of life here, but his search just now picked up something.
The thief isn’t far!
...
“Cyrus, you idiot! How did you get killed so easily! How terrifying! This is too terrifying!
“I have to leave the Demonic Dragon Continent immediately, away from Meng Lei’s territory, and get to a safe place...”
The Tempest Colossal Dragon with green dragon scales flapped his wings as he sped higher into the sky. He was about to leave the Demonic Dragon Continent for good!
“Once I get out of here, I’ll be safe. Maybe I can be like Horace, finding a hidden and remote existential plane. Then I’ll spread faith, collect the power of faith, and one day I shall become a true god!
“Yes! Leave! Leave, and there’s hope!”
After leaving the Demonic Dragon Continent, the thought of the promising future gave the Tempest Colossal Dragon motivation, as his wings swung with more force and flew even faster.
As the altitude increased, he pulled ever closer to the dimensional wall of the Demonic Dragon Continent.
Once he passed through the dimensional wall, he would be able to leave the Demonic Dragon Continent and head into the Void.
By then, the sky is high and broad for birds to fly; the sea is wide and deep for fishes to swim. Meng Lei could not kill him anymore!
He was getting nearer and nearer!
He was getting nearer and nearer!
As the Tempest Colossal Dragon rose, the dimensional wall of the existential plane was within reach. He mustered up some of his last bit of power of divinity and charged toward the dimensional wall.
Rip!
An opening was ripped open on the dimensional wall, the pitch-black Void could be seen through it.
“Just you wait, Meng Lei, I’ll be b... Never mind, I better not come back!”
The Tempest Colossal Dragon flapped his wings and was about to leave the existential plane.
However, just as he was about to reach, the opening abruptly closed up.
Thud!
The Tempest Colossal Dragon crashed onto the dimensional wall, becoming a little dizzy and seeing stars in his vision.
“Damn it!”
The Tempest Colossal Dragon was exasperated. He only had a little bit of power of divinity left after he used some to cut an opening.
One chance!
One last chance!
I must seize it!
The Tempest Colossal Dragon mustered his final bit of power of divinity and attacked the dimensional wall again. With another ripping sound, an opening appeared.
“Here’s my chance!”
The Tempest Colossal Dragon turned into a flash of lightning as it shot toward the opening.
This time, he went as fast as he could as the front half of the body went through smoothly...
“I did it!”
The Tempest Colossal Dragon was relieved that he managed to leave the Demonic Dragon Continent; he was going to be safe.
Just then, a strong pulling force was felt on his tail. The Tempest Colossal Dragon turned his head around to find out that someone had caught his tail.
The Tempest Colossal Dragon saw a face through the rapidly closing opening of the dimensional wall—one that he could not be more familiar with!
“Meng Lei!!”
The Tempest Colossal Dragon was frightened out of his wits as he frantically flapped his huge wings, trying to escape. However, with his tail firmly grabbed by Meng Lei, he just could not struggle free.
I can only go all out now!
At this crucial moment, the Tempest Colossal Dragon cut his tail off and freed himself!
Whoosh!
The Tempest Colossal Dragon looked at its severed tail as cold sweat broke out.
“Meng Lei, I did not expect you to come for me so soon. But too bad, you’ll never catch me! Plus, I’ll be back here someday!”
The Tempest Colossal Dragon sneered and entered the dark endless Void.
The Tempest Colossal Dragon did not fly too far away when a human figure flashed in front of him.
“M-Meng Lei!”
The Tempest Colossal Dragon trembled and felt weak. He asked with a trembling voice, “How... How did you come out!”
“You tell me how I came out.” Meng Lei looked at the Tempest Colossal Dragon like a retarded dragon.
The Tempest Colossal Dragon came to a realization.
Oh indeed, if a lowly half-deity like me could break off the dimensional wall, how could an intermediate deity like Meng Lei not do the same?
“I’m finished! I’m completely done for!” The Tempest Colossal Dragon’s body shivered uncontrollably. “M-Meng Lei, w-what will you do?”
“No worries, I won’t kill you.” Meng Lei said faintly. “Didn’t you hope to enter the Void? I’ll fulfill your wishes. But, you have to hand over whatever you have stolen!”
As he spoke, Meng Lei pointed his sword and swung it around mid-air.
The Tempest Colossal Dragon was baffled. “What... What are you doing?”
“Oh, you’ll know soon.”
Meng Lei smiled faintly as he spread his five fingers out.
Splash!
Instantly, the Tempest Colossal Dragon’s body broke apart, like an exploding firework turning into pieces of meat floating in the Void.
Even his brain was split into 81 pieces evenly.
“Ahhh!”
The sharp, piercing pain attacked his senses as the barely alive Tempest Colossal Dragon let out a heart-wrenching scream.
“Relax! There’s plenty of time!”
Meng Lei glared as a pinch of Netherworld Divine Fire fell upon the pieces of split fleshes and started to burn. It spread rapidly from the first piece to the second piece, then the third...
After a short while, in the shrilling screams of the Tempest Colossal Dragon, every bit of flesh was in flames as the Netherworld Divine Fire burned intensely.
“Meng Lei, what do you want exactly?” the Tempest Colossal Dragon asked hoarsely.
“When a mistake is made, punishment follows, am I right? Even kids understand this principle.”
Meng Lei took out a spatial ring from the Tempest Colossal Dragon with a casual grabbing motion and used his divine cognition. A big smile appeared on Meng Lei’s face quickly.
Countless gold coins!
Countless Laws of Nature Origin Crystals!
Countless Divinity Crystals
Countless magic crystals!
There were so many of them that they were almost impossible to count. The variety of the riches could also make one dizzy.
“System, take whatever that can be taken!”
Whoosh!
His Wealth started to surge again, and it rose quite a while before the system stopped counting. Meng Lei’s Wealth had reached 4.5 million Divinity Crystals, including the newly added 1.2 million!
.2 million Divinity Crystals, which was equal to 12 billion Laws of Nature Origin Crystals!
That was an astronomical number!
It was unimaginable for an intermediate deity-level Demon God to possess so much wealth. Even the normal intermediate deities like the Dragon God did not even have 10,000 Divinity Crystals!
.2 million!
Cyrus was simply not normal!
