Chapter 109: Saint‑Rank Qiongqi Rivals the Gods! Huh? It

An upper god certainly has Mid Gods among its subordinates, so there won't be only a single lower god.

Putting all hope onto a single lower god is obviously irrational.

A deity is unlikely to be that foolish.

But Lu Zheng can't directly locate Motos's subordinate right now; he must keep this in mind, and a solution will come later.

Once his strength grows a bit more, and with the Sky‑Stealing Rat's help to search, finding some clues shouldn't be difficult.

But his power is insufficient now; if the search brings big trouble, he'll be courting death.

The top priority is to quickly help some people inherit divine thrones.

After giving Waterball Star enough defensive power, only then can risky actions be undertaken safely.

Killing five demigods and a true god in succession greatly raised Qiongqi's level.

It jumped straight from level 251 to 286; to break past 300 and join the Saint‑rank divine pets, only another lower true god needs to be slain.

Sure enough, killing deities yields more experience! Since the demigod‑tier feral spirit puppets self‑destructed, no divine fragment dropped—a regret.

Lu Zheng brought Wu Tuohai out of the Bone Throne dungeon.

He bestowed upon him a "Blessing Aura", a "Critical Aura", a "Luck Aura" and ten "Mana Springs", then linked the Bridge of Magic Power to him.

Next, he had him mobilize thirty‑million mana points, all to cast the skill "Thunder Prison Chains".

This skill, dropped by a slain Thunder Prison Guard, is, in Lu Zheng's view, a crucial ability needed for inheriting a divine throne, so he wanted Wu Tuohai to test its maximum potency.

With thirty‑million mana infused, a black vortex instantly formed in the sky; amid flashes and thunder, ten white‑purple chains as thick as elephants descended, hitting the ground and stretching outward.

In a single thought, the ten chains swept and rotated.

Thunder merged into a sheet! Massive undead were crushed beneath the chains; even those not directly smashed only struggled twice in the thunderous sea before falling silent.

Wu Tuohai's experience bar surged, skyrocketing from 672.67% to 1892.57% in an instant!

According to Lu Zheng, when Xue Feihua inherited a lower god's throne it consumed ten experience units; Wu Tuohai inheriting an upper god will require at least thirty units.

In other words, he must reach at least 3000% before attempting the divine throne inheritance test!

Here, while Wu Tuohai slays undead, Lu Zheng has Qiongqi command the Hellfire true‑god‑tier feral spirit puppet to continuously summon more undead.

By sacrificing these undead, Wu Tuohai gains additional experience.

Lu Zheng himself is not idle.

He tasked the Sky‑Stealing Rat with locating demigod‑tier undead; killing one raises Qiongqi by over a level, two raise it by three.

True gods are hard to find, and killing one risks attracting even stronger deities.

But demigod‑tier monsters should be plentiful in the vast Undead Plane.

Sure enough, the Sky‑Stealing Rat quickly pinpointed a demigod‑tier undead; Lu Zheng instantly teleported there, letting Qiongqi slay it instantly and turn it into a feral spirit puppet.

He didn't retrieve the puppet, instead letting it massacre surrounding undead below demigod tier!

Resulting in long‑term experience gain.

The Sky‑Stealing Rat reported back again—this time two, still instant kills!

Qiongqi was originally fourteen levels short of Saint rank; given that two demigods raise it three levels, killing ten more demigods will reach Saint rank.

That's not difficult.

In less than half a day, ten demigod‑tier undead were slain!

Because the Sky‑Stealing Rat possesses a "Seek Fortune, Avoid Disaster" trait, the deaths of those ten demigod undead caused Lu Zheng no trouble.

Qiongqi smoothly rose to level 301! 【Summoned Beast: Unnamed】

【Race: Qiongqi】【Quality: Five‑Star Legendary Divine Pet】

【Level: LV. 301 (2.45%)】

【HP: 350,000,000 / 350,000,000】

【Mana: 24,000,000 / 24,000,000】

【Strength: 300,000】

【Agility: 300,000】

【Spirit: 1,200,000】

【Constitution: 400,000】

【Skills: Ferocious Divine Form, Malicious Thought Devour, Dark Sky Canopy, Ferocious Spirit Puppet, Demon God Body (Passive), Eight‑Wilderness Demon Lord (Passive)】

Having just entered Saint rank, it's still one demigod tier shy of the True God middle tier, yet its base stats are only a hair weaker than a true god's.

However, from the crucial mana perspective, it's still an order of magnitude behind.

But if Lu Zheng upgrades all nine divine pets to this tier, the Bridge of Magic Power's effect will automatically fill the gap.

The most critical point is.

Qiongqi's most domineering skill relies not on mana but on its spirit attribute.

Its spirit now virtually overwhelms ordinary lower true gods!

However, the Undead Plane is not Qiongqi's home ground.

Its true arena is the Abyss Demon Realm! The passive skill "Eight‑Wilderness Demon Lord" lets it directly command a massive legion of subordinates, enabling highly efficient leveling.

In any case, solo leveling speed is far slower than that aided by a large army.

Nowadays, most of Lu Zheng's summoned beasts below the Immortal grade are placed in various dungeons for continuous kill‑based leveling, even though their kill speed and experience gain can't match those of Immortal or divine pets.

Yet over a thousand rare beast pets working together provide him daily with considerable experience and base‑stat boosts—many drops make a flood.

Because of this steady base‑stat increase, Lu Zheng now possesses four‑dimensional attributes surpassing peers of the same rank.

Today, aside from Qiongqi, the strongest entity is not any divine pet but Lu Zheng himself, the summoner! After Qiongqi ascended to Saint rank, Lu Zheng immediately returned with it to the entrance.

He still feels uneasy about being marked by the Main God in the Insect Nest Plane last time, believing he must stay low‑key; provoking a powerful being wouldn't grant him a sixty‑year reprieve, and could force him into a "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west, never mock a youth's poverty" scenario.

It would be like the God‑Eating Worm Empress Shandra, who would simply slap him—unable to kill him but still marking him! In any case, he no longer fears lower gods.

Do we want to find a chance to enter the divine realm, deal with that fire god Laban first, so it won't keep haunting us, which is quite annoying!?

The idea flashed through Lu Zheng's mind and vanished.

In an instant it was abandoned by him.

Very simple, not worth it!

A mere Lower God isn't worth risking my original plan.

Returning to the entrance of the Bone Throne Dungeon that leads to the Undead Plane, Lu Zheng saw that Wu Tuohai now possessed over two thousand seven hundred percent experience, and he couldn't help but nod, saying:

"The surrounding monsters are too low level; let's go to another dungeon."

Speaking, he had Qiongqi extract a complete Divine Vessel from the True God‑level feral spirit puppet Hellfire, after which the Hellfire simply vanished.

"Consider this a prelude to your inheritance of the divine seat!"

Wu Tuohai stared at the intact Lower God's Divine Vessel in his hand, exclaiming in shock, "This is given to me already!?"
