Chapter 108: Seizing Hellfire! Dungeon Fusion! (Please follow and read)
Last time, while dealing with the matter of the Undead Calamity, he had entered the Undead Plane to investigate, and his clone was killed by a monster called Hellfire.
Based on Lu Zheng's current perception of divine auras, that Hellfire should be nothing more than a Lower God.
Now, Lu Zheng had a relatively intuitive grasp of a Lower God's basic attributes and other aspects.
Simply put, he felt that slaying a Lower God was no longer a particularly difficult matter.
So, he decided to fight his way into the Undead Plane.
Wu Tuohai's class was 'Thunder Magic Cannoneer,' mastering the power of thunder as well as the violent offensive output of cannons.
This was perfectly suited for attacking undead monsters and harvesting experience points.
Fighting into the Undead Plane could absolutely help him level up quickly.
Lu Zheng first confirmed one thing.
"Senior Wu, do you have a pass to enter the Undead Plane?"
Hearing this, Wu Tuohai took out an 'Undead Plane Pass' and asked:
"Will this do?"
Seeing that he also had a pass, Lu Zheng was not surprised; it would have been abnormal if he didn't.
After all, obtaining a pass only required killing a LV. 100 dungeon boss, the Terror Knight, which was not difficult for any professional who had reached the Saint tier.
Lu Zheng nodded and said, "We'll enter the Undead Plane from the Throne of Bones dungeon. There should be a Lower True God-level monster guarding the entrance there right now, so I need to enter first myself. After I confirm the situation inside, I'll come back to bring you in together."
Wu Tuohai was taken aback at these words.
Although he had just heard Xuanyuan Wuji say that Lu Zheng had the strength to kill a Lower True God, the tone of Lu Zheng's words at this moment made it sound extremely easy.
By all logic, even if Lu Zheng had the ability to kill a True God, shouldn't it be very difficult?
"Alright, be careful on your own!"
Wu Tuohai had a very clear understanding of his own strength; if he followed beside Lu Zheng, he would only be a burden.
So, he could only offer a word of blessing.
There were still massive numbers of undead within the Throne of Bones dungeon. Although Lu Zheng had carried out a major purge there last time, the Hellfire—or the Evil God behind it—had continued to dispatch more undead into this dungeon.
These undead did not attack outward; they simply stayed here, seemingly preparing to do something.
Regardless of what they intended to do, Lu Zheng directly had Wu Tuohai carry out a thorough purge of the area.
Over a million undead, including several at the Saint tier—that was a considerable amount of experience points.
While Wu Tuohai slaughtered there, Lu Zheng himself first took the 'Undead Plane Pass' and entered the Undead Plane dungeon, and the moment he entered, he directly activated the 'Void Walk' skill.
He hid within the void and kept a wide distance.
Hellfire was indeed still at this entrance.
It sensed Lu Zheng's appearance, but could not discover where the Lu Zheng who had slipped into the void had gone.
Spatial skills were extremely powerful; even a god, without relevant skills, could not pose any real threat to Lu Zheng's safety.
Lu Zheng did not rashly attack Hellfire, as he still did not fully understand the situation here.
Last time, his clone was instantly killed the moment it entered.
This time, he needed to first check whether there were other threats nearby.
Looking around, the area was densely packed with all kinds of undead.
Skeleton Mages, Bone Knights, Terror Demon Bears, Death Crows, and so on—and not far away, there were even quite a few powerful monsters such as Bone Dragons and Zombies.
A rough estimate put the number of undead observed at no less than thirty million.
For the time being, there were eleven demigod-level monsters, but at the True God level, there appeared to be only Hellfire. A massive number of undead were continuously transferring from the Undead Plane into the Throne of Bones dungeon through the dungeon entrance.
This was definitely a scheme of some kind, not a simple monster invasion.
After a brief moment of thought, Lu Zheng directly released Qiongqi.
He had it create two 'Fierce Spirit Puppets' that charged toward two demigod-level undead.
Qiongqi, having reached level 242 with a Spirit stat as high as 830,000 points, was not something these demigods could resist at all; it seized control of them instantly.
Instantly killing two demigods yielded only enough experience points to raise Qiongqi by 3 levels.
At the same time, nearly all the undead noticed its presence, including the True God-level Hellfire! The next moment, two demigod-level Fierce Spirit Puppets charged toward Hellfire.
The gap in strength between a demigod and a True God was like an impassable chasm.
But even if it only hindered it for a single instant, that was enough.
Because at the same time, Qiongqi cast Fierce Spirit Puppet on four other demigod-level undead, completing another instant kill.
Then it had these four demigod-level puppets charge toward Hellfire.
And directly self-destruct! The shockwave produced by a single demigod's self-destruction was already enormous, let alone the fact that this was not one demigod but four.
After instantly killing four demigods, Qiongqi's level rose to 251, and its Spirit attribute increased again! Next, it dealt with the remaining five demigod-level undead, likewise having them use self-destruction to block Hellfire's approach.
And all of this effort was not to let Qiongqi level up by killing demigods, but to buy time for Lu Zheng to cast 'Bridge of Magic Power' and establish a magic power sharing channel among his many summoned beasts!
'Roar!'
Hellfire, bombarded by the successive self-destructions, was furious. With all eleven demigod-level Fierce Spirit Puppets expended, it charged at Qiongqi.
At this moment.
The magic power sharing was complete. Lu Zheng channeled thirty million points of magic power and directly cast 'Soul Hook' on Hellfire. The critical strike aura took effect, the Godslayer title took effect, dealing nearly 500,000 points of Spirit damage in one strike! At the same time, Qiongqi activated the skill 'Fierce Spirit Puppet' to possess Hellfire.
The possession succeeded!
Lu Zheng, now possessing another True God-level Fierce Spirit Puppet, was not particularly excited. After casting the 'Soul Hook' skill, he immediately slipped into the void and vigilantly observed his surroundings.
After all, last time, right after completing a possession, he had been targeted by a Main God-level monster; if he hadn't fled quickly, he would have been pulverized.
Fortunately, no other mishaps occurred this time.
Lu Zheng suddenly received feedback from Qiongqi.
While possessing Hellfire, it had obtained a portion of its memories.
Lu Zheng hurriedly checked; to his surprise, this memory was exactly about the reason the Hellfire had come to this dungeon's entrance.
This Hellfire was indeed controlled by the Evil God!
The undead Evil God, the upper god-level Skeleton Demon Lord Motuos, was actually slumbering within the Skeleton Throne dungeon.
And the way to awaken and revive it was to gather enough undead aura.
This Hellfire was one of its subordinates; following the plan from back then, it had recently begun transporting large numbers of undead into the Skeleton Throne dungeon—only for Lu Zheng to devour them all!
The Skeleton Throne dungeon was actually the divine kingdom of an upper god.
This information was far too important.
Because the Skeleton Throne dungeon had already fused with Planet Waterball after so many years, this meant that once Motuos revived, he would very likely be able to exert divine-level power on Planet Waterball, no longer restricted by the rules.
Lu Zheng frowned; he felt that Motuos couldn't possibly have only the Hellfire as a backup plan.
