Chapter 114: You mean you want to go up yourself!? (Please keep reading)

Nowadays Wu Tuohai still cannot meet this need of the Kui Bull, but after he inherits the Divine Rank, perhaps he can really use this method to let the Kui Bull upgrade quickly.

After all, the power wielded by an Upper God, even if released casually, can be converted into enough experience to make the Kui Bull's level soar.

After a brief thought, this idea might actually be worth trying! If the Kui Bull can be raised in one go to Half‑God level, its combat power would be immensely terrifying.

Then, perhaps with just this divine pet, I could complete the fifth‑transformation quest on my own!

Lu Zheng looked at Wu Tuohai and asked, "Senior, what is the final assessment task?"

Wu Tuohai looked at the panel prompt and read it aloud.

【Sixth assessment: Execution! The imprisoned Evil God!】

【Description: Evil demons and Evil Gods are confined in the Divine Thunder Punishment Prison; eliminate all the imprisoned Evil Gods to obtain sufficient energy feedback!】

Lu Zheng was surprised and said, "That seems like it's giving you enough experience, not really an assessment task."

Wu Tuohai, however, frowned.

"It's not that simple. The Divine Thunder Punishment Prison can only imprison; it cannot directly kill the evil demons inside. To slay these evil demons and Evil Gods, it seems we can only release them, or I go in."

According to the feedback, the Divine Thunder Punishment Prison holds one hundred and seventy?

Lu Zheng, deep in thought, voiced his own idea.

"I think these evil demons were prepared to help you level up. Inheriting a Divine Rank doesn't require experience; the moment of inheritance instantly reaches the original rank's level."

"But since the previous deity prepared these, the intention must be to have you cultivate, become a god yourself, then slay these monsters, and finally inherit the Upper God's Divine Rank."

He paused, then Lu Zheng continued, "If I'm not mistaken, inheriting the Upper God's Divine Rank would involve great pressure; an ordinary person below the godly tier would find it hard to endure."

"But if you cultivate step by step to become a god, it takes too long; in that case, it might be better to inherit a Lower God's Divine Rank directly, so you can quickly grasp combat power and share the burden for Xuanyuan Wuji, the War God of Xuanyuan."

Wu Tuohai expressed his own concerns.

Lu Zheng shook his head and said, "What we need now is the high‑tier combat power of an Upper God; a Lower God's help is limited. Moreover, the time won't be long; didn't I already prepare a Lower God's Divine Vessel for you?"

"Now, take it out and cultivate: first master the divine power, break through to Half‑God level, then I'll lead you to slaughter those Half‑Gods so you achieve Half‑God perfection."

"Then use this Divine Vessel as a catalyst to condense your true God‑level Divine Vessel."

"Anyway, in the end we still need to condense a Divine Vessel."

"And there's another advantage: condensing a Lower God's Divine Vessel is certainly easier than condensing an Upper God's."

Hearing Lu Zheng's explanation, Wu Tuohai felt the task might not be that difficult after all.

Immediately, he took out the Lower God's Divine Vessel that Lu Zheng had given him earlier and began to master its divine power.

Since he already wields the Upper Divine Artifact 'Punishment Sword', he can channel divine power, so reversing to master the power became very easy.

It took only half an hour for him to complete the mastery.

Lu Zheng had already helped him store a massive amount of experience; after mastering the divine power, the shackles were broken and his level surged directly to 432.

"Let's go, I'll take you to slay gods!"

Although Qiongqi, the beast that makes killing a Lower God as easy as eating and drinking, is not by his side, within the Divine Thunder Punishment Prison brimming with thunder power, the Saint‑rank Kui Bull can still suppress any defiant being!

Upon entering the first Half‑God's cage, the Kui Bull used a single Thunder Explosion technique to eliminate it, and its level surged again.

Lu Zheng's idea was simple: to be safe, first push the Kui Bull's level upward.

After slaying sixty‑two Half‑God evil demons, the Kui Bull's level rose to 400; the next step is to directly enter the Half‑God tier.

Lu Zheng was thrilled; this is a legendary divine pet.

Reaching Saint rank already lets one tangle with a Lower True God, even slay one. If you reach Half‑God tier, wouldn't you be able to handle a Mid God!?

At this point, Wu Tuohai set aside his Divine Rank inheritance for the moment.

Lu Zheng let the Kui Bull continue the slaughter; after killing five Half‑Gods in a row, finally it crossed that step.

【Summoned Beast: Unnamed】

【Species: Kui Bull】

【Quality: Four‑Star Legendary Divine Pet】

【Level: LV. 401 (37.34%)}】

【HP: 1,050,000,000 / 1,050,000,000】

【MP: 150,000,000 / 150,000,000】

【Strength: 1,200,000】

【Agility: 1,000,000】

【Spirit: 1,500,000】

【Constitution: 1,500,000】

【Skills: Realm of Thunder and Lightning (Passive), Thunderbolt Overwhelming, Thunder Explosion, Thunder Core Shield, Thunder Net, Five Thunderbolts Strike】

Nice guy! One billion fifty million HP, one hundred fifty million MP, all base stats are over a million.

Feeling the massive attribute feedback from the Kui Bull's upgrade, Lu Zheng thought he might almost soar with excitement! These stats definitely crush all Lower Gods and should already be at Mid God level.

According to Lu Zheng's inference, the Kui Bull's base attributes are probably the same as before; compared to a Mid God it's a bit lower, but skills can fully compensate.

If the level rises a bit more, killing a Mid God isn't impossible! Wu Tuohai stared at the massive one‑legged bull mountain, sensed the terrifying thunder power it harbored, and again felt his earlier awe.

He still thinks this divine beast is more suitable to inherit the Divine Rank! Excited, Lu Zheng didn't forget the main task.

The Kui Bull, having risen to over 400 levels in the Half‑God tier, now controls energy more precisely, making it easier to assist Wu Tuohai's upgrade.

All that remains is less than three percent HP, letting Wu Tuohai finish the harvest.

The remaining 109 Half‑God evil demons were quickly slaughtered; two Half‑Gods could only raise him one level, but killing all Half‑Gods raised him to level 486.

That level is already very high.

At least previously, Xuanyuan Wuji probably never reached his current level.

But that's still not enough.

To condense a Lower God's Divine Vessel, one must at least reach level 500 and also retain a massive amount of experience.

These two points are not met.

We still need to keep killing; the next step is truly slaughtering gods!

The thrilling upgrade made Wu Tuohai very excited, but upon seeing that True God–level demon, his excitement instantly faded.

"Demigod-level monsters can be contained with demigod-level legendary divine pets, but can a True God really be dealt with so casually? True God's power is immense—it's hard to lower its HP, and if we can't control it, the danger would be too great."

"Lu Zheng just laughed and said, "Release it! In a cage you can't unleash true power; a head‑on clash with a god—I've long wanted to try that.""

"Wu Tuohai froze, astonished: "You mean you want to go up yourself?!""
