Chapter 413

"Ding! You have slain a Demigod professional. The passive effect of 【Killing Domain】 has triggered. You gain 1,220 points to all attributes!"

"Ding! You have slain a Demigod professional. Absorbing the target's soul power, the Origin Heart has completely finished evolving!!"

"Ding! Your Soul Origin Heart has reached Mid-Grade!!"

【Luo Chenyu · Soul Origin Heart】

Soul State: Mid-Grade (0/100,000,000)

Trait ①: Your soul can absorb any soul power to raise its Soul State. Each time the Soul State rises, soul intensity increases, and you may awaken a soul skill (not limited by any skill quantity cap)!

Trait ②: Black Dragon's Soul (not yet awakened). Slaying dragon-type monsters allows you to absorb the dragon-type monster's soul origin, preventing it from resurrecting, and you may absorb any dragon-type origin power to repair the Black Dragon's Soul.

Trait ③: Soul (spiritual) damage increased by 10x, and ignores a certain percentage of the target's soul (spiritual) defense (including soul damage reduction)!

Trait ④: Not yet unlocked

Skill: Dragon Soul Guardian (special soul skill, passive skill. The soul is guarded by the Black Dragon's Soul, reducing soul damage by 99% and granting immunity to divine-level soul control.)

Special Ability ①: Mid-Grade Divine Sense (no cooldown, consumes a certain amount of soul origin power. Can perceive conditions within up to 30 kilometers, cannot be countered, and comes with the skill 【Divine Sense Blade】.)

Special Ability ②: Soul Transfer (special. When the physical body collapses, you may choose to transfer your soul into another body. Success rate is determined by the difference in soul intensity between the two parties!)

Absorption Effect: 【Black Dragon Totem (SS)】(permanent, cannot be further upgraded)!

……

Good heavens!!

Luo Chenyu saw the effects of the Soul Origin Heart and was overjoyed at once.

The third trait was actually this overwhelmingly powerful.

Ten times soul skill damage, and it can also ignore a portion of defense.

Then the effect of 【Divine Sense Blade】 can be greatly boosted — a sneak attack... ahem, combat effectiveness will absolutely be maxed out.

From now on, he could be considered to have a counter against Demigods.

Can't break their defense?

No problem — just destroy the soul directly; the kill effect is even better!

Once the soul shatters, even resurrection cannot take effect.

Moreover...

The appearance of Soul Transfer allows him to truly abandon the 【Abyss Demon Ring】, that piece of equipment possessing an alternative "resurrection."

He collected the drops from the 【Pantheon Temple】 Demigod.

Luo Chenyu once again attacked another heavily wounded ground rat...

Combat is the key to his rise... 0

After slaying the first 【Pantheon Temple】 Demigod, the second did not last much longer.

It likewise died beneath Luo Chenyu's 【Divine Sense Blade】.

"Continue..."

Luo Chenyu had just wanted to continue attacking another one, when suddenly the earth shook and mountains swayed, and the endless sea of lava began to boil!!

The anomaly had come!

"ROAR!!!"

A heaven-shaking, earth-overawing roar rang out, and a wild, overbearing aura filled the space.

That terrifying aura made everyone shudder with dread.

On the faces of the surviving 【Pantheon Temple】 Demigods, despair suddenly gave way to wild joy.

"He, He has come back to life!"

"The Lord succeeded. We can all survive. The great goal of the Holy Temple is finally about to be achieved!"

"Hahaha... He has come back to life! What does losing the entire Sakura Island matter!!"

……

Like a final flicker before death, the 【Pantheon Temple】 Demigods forced back the surrounding nations' Demigods and instantly gathered together.

Their eyes revealed a frenzied fervor.

Although the plan had deviated, it had still ultimately succeeded.

The doubts in their hearts no longer mattered!

Unlike them...

The various nations' Demigods were in turbulent spirits. Just moments ago things had been fine — why had the situation suddenly changed again?

This plot isn't right?

The twists and turns truly left them somewhat unable to bear it.

Even someone as steady as Luo Chenyu now had his brows tightly furrowed, and the unease in his heart grew ever stronger.

Without the sustenance of soul power, why could that fierce beast deity still revive?

But now...

It was no longer the time to think about such things.

From within the boiling lava, a terrifying body was slowly rising!!

"Retreat!!"

Zhang Yue shouted and swiftly took to the air.

The other nations' Demigods did likewise, their speed so fast it was little different from teleportation.

Everyone hovered in midair.

Looking down at the anomaly below.

Run?

By now they had nowhere left to run—or rather, in their hearts, they had no confidence they could escape from beneath the claws of the divine beast-god.

They might as well…

Wait and see first—reinforcements are almost here!

Within their line of sight.

The terrifying divine beast-god finally revealed Its true form.

Eight heads fused as one, body pitch-black, eerie blood-colored energy threading through its scales.

Eight snake-like heads, exceptionally grotesque.

Each head was the size of a football field…

The divine beast-god had only revealed part of Its body, yet It was already nearly reaching the height of the demigods of the various nations hovering in midair.

And what's more…

On the central head, a withered body was "embedded" in the brow, only half its form exposed, the entire visage appearing especially grotesque.

"Hehehehe… devour those wastes!!"

The withered figure laughed wildly, boundless madness seeping through his tone.

Accompanying his voice.

"ROAR!!"

Eight roars rang out, eight enormous maws opening at once, snapping toward the demigods of the 【Divine Pantheon】…

【Divine Pantheon】 demigods: "???"

However…

Before they could even react, every last one of them was swallowed whole in a single gulp.

Not a single survivor… none at all!!

Demigods of such stature, dying so silently and without a trace.

They never dreamed in their wildest nightmares that they would perish at the hands of their lord in the manner of mere "provisions."

"Hehehehe… delicious!!" 3.0

The withered figure was none other than the black-robed man; he licked his parched lips, his expression growing even more frenzied.

In order to make the divine beast-god fully revive.

He chose to merge with the divine beast-god through a secret art, using his own soul to drive the divine beast-god's divine body.

The price…

Was becoming a half-human, half-beast monster from that moment on.

Moreover, once the divine beast-god's soul origin fully revived, he would completely lose his own will…

Even so.
