Chapter 117: Eighty-Eight Levels in a Row! Three Great Demigods Perfected, Divine Pets!

Seeing that Lu Zheng was ready, Wu Tuohai immediately opened the cage of the Divine Thunder Punishment Prison.

The next moment, an eight-hundred-meter-tall goat-headed Evil God charged out from within, a scythe in its hand slashing directly at Taotie, who was blocking the way.

Lu Zheng could not even see through the level of a Lower God, let alone a Mid God.

But regardless of all that, having Taotie go all out was definitely the right call! Dharma Avatar World, attributes doubled! Taotie's size abruptly surged to over thirteen hundred meters tall, and at the same time, it released a dark divine claw.

A massive claw formed in the void, directly swatting the goat-headed Evil God out of midair! Immediately after, Taotie leaped onto the goat-headed Evil God's body and punched it in the head.

Crack!

A goat horn snapped right off.

The goat-headed Evil God flew into a rage, a swarm of skulls wreathed in black qi surging all over its body, lunging at Taotie to tear and bite.

But an attack of this level was like a tickle to Taotie.

Not only did it cause no damage whatsoever, it instead allowed Taotie to absorb a massive amount of energy through it, using the Mana Annihilation skill to replenish its consumed mana.

'Boom! Boom! Boom!!'

Taotie's combat had no flashy skill effects at all—only the absolute violence of fist meeting flesh.

One punch shattered the goat horn, three punches broke the Evil God's bones!

The skill Dharma Avatar World displayed an even more heaven-defying effect at this moment—several million attribute points doubled meant several million more attributes.

Overwhelming power crushed everything! The goat-horned Evil God used every kind of skill to resist, and the end result was its head getting blown apart.

However, as a Mid God, its vitality was tenacious, and it did not die outright.

Lu Zheng had Taotie step down while the Golden-Winged Great Peng flew over to extract the divine core from the Evil God's body, which had no power to resist.

Once the divine core was extracted, it meant this Mid God had truly fallen! The experience points went to the Kunpeng.

The Kunpeng's original level was very low, only level 209. After slaying a Mid God, its level skyrocketed to level 297, rising 88 levels in a row! Wu Tuohai looked at the thousand-meter-tall ferocious god Taotie, a flash of bewilderment in his eyes.

This guy was clearly only level 500, not even having stepped into the Lower True God realm, yet now it was pinning a Mid God to the ground and beating it senseless!? A Mid God, beaten to death alive, its head exploding, even its divine core dug out.

This was simply too terrifying!

However, Wu Tuohai did not have much time to think about all this.

The instant the goat-horned Evil God was blown apart, a line of text appeared before his eyes.

【Ding! All demons in the Divine Thunder Punishment Prison have been killed. All six assessment tasks have been completed.】

【Detected divine throne: God of Thunder Punishment. Inheritance conditions have all been met. Divine throne inheritance is about to begin. Countdown: 29, 28, 27...】

Wu Tuohai hurriedly said, "In a dozen seconds I'll begin inheriting the divine throne. There may be some effects—stay safe!"

Hearing this, Lu Zheng first put away the Kunpeng and Taotie, but left the Kui Ox behind.

In the sky, white-purple energy gathered, then abruptly transformed into a bolt of thunder that struck down onto Wu Tuohai.

This bolt of thunder had no destructive power at all—it was merely a form of energy transmission!

The divine throne of an Upper God contained an extremely abundant amount of energy.

A massive quantity of energy poured into Wu Tuohai. His divine core began to transform, and his aura gradually strengthened.

Throughout the entire Punishment Thunder Prison dungeon, energy rapidly condensed, generating enormous turbulence.

Lu Zheng somewhat doubted whether this place could hold up! The entire inheritance process lasted four hours. During those four hours, the surrounding energy generated tremendous pressure. If not for the base attributes fed back to Lu Zheng by two demigod-level divine pets, even his body would not have been able to withstand this pressure.

A Holy-rank professional absolutely could not endure it—at the very least, one had to be a Lower True God to withstand it.

And this was merely the peripheral, incidental pressure.

One could imagine what kind of trial Wu Tuohai, situated at the very center of the pressure, was facing.

But as a warrior of the older generation, Wu Tuohai persevered.

Clad in Thunder Prison Dragon Armor, holding the Divine Sword of Punishment, the aura of an Upper God radiated forth—the divine kingdom dungeon was already under his control! Lu Zheng saw the expectant look in the Kui Ox's eyes and asked Wu Tuohai with a smile:

"The Kui Ox still wants you to strike it with heavenly lightning. Can you do it?"

Wu Tuohai held the Divine Sword of Punishment, pointed it toward the sky, and in an instant, thunder crashed down.

Moreover, the surrounding thunderclouds continuously converged toward the Kui Ox's location, looking as though more thunderbolts could descend at any moment.

Seeing that the first bolt of thunder had not caused any harm to the Kui Ox, Wu Tuohai began to condense more thunderbolts to strike down.

The Kui Ox bathed in the heavenly lightning, and after just a quarter of an hour, its level rose by one! Lu Zheng's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "It looks like I'll need your help to level up this divine pet of mine."

Wu Tuohai nodded and said:

"Naturally, that's no problem. However, I just obtained something. Who do you think I should give it to?"

Saying so, he pushed a crystal stone flickering with thunder and lightning in front of Lu Zheng.

【Item: Eye of the Thunder God】

【Effect: Refining this gem can initiate the inheritance trial of the Main God-level divine throne 'Thunder God' Salas.】

Clearly, this represented the right to inherit a Main God-level divine throne.

Never mind whether one could succeed—without obtaining this gem, one would not even have the qualification to attempt it.

Even though he had already become an Upper God and was now arguably the most powerful existence in all of Yanxia, Wu Tuohai still left the decision in Lu Zheng's hands.

"Clearly, this is extremely suitable for the Xuanyuan War God. I remember his class is Divine Firmament Mage, which is precisely a type of thunder mage. Inheriting the throne of the Thunder God is only natural."

Lu Zheng said.

Wu Tuohai nodded in agreement upon hearing this: "Now that I'm here, I can handle all those demigod-level threats. He can focus on inheriting the divine throne, and I can assist him too."

This matter was preliminarily settled.

They did not immediately go find Xuanyuan Wuji.

Wu Tuohai stayed here, using the Sea of Thunderstorms to help the Kui Ox raise its level, while Lu Zheng left the Punishment Thunder Prison dungeon with the Kunpeng and the divine core, heading to the Abyss Demon Realm.

He spent a day helping the Kunpeng hunt demigods and other low-level abyssal demons, successfully raising its level to 301.

After that, Lu Zheng brought the divine core fragments and corpses of four demigods and followed the Kunpeng into the ocean.

The Kunpeng transformed into a primordial giant leviathan, activated the skill 'Devour Sea Eye,' and swallowed the demigod corpses and divine core fragments together, advancing to level 304.

Immediately after, Lu Zheng took out the divine spark of a Lower God.

Refining and absorbing the first divine spark took over three hours, and his level surged by 19! He successively refined five divine sparks of Lower Gods, successfully advancing to level 401.

Lu Zheng once again possessed a demigod-rank divine pet!

At this point, Lu Zheng still had six divine sparks of Lower God rank left in his hands, and he had the Kunpeng absorb all of them, bringing its level to 479.

Still a bit short of level 500.

He then took out the corpse of a Mid God.

Even the corpse of a single Lower God could raise the over-level-400 Taotie by two levels, so a Mid God's corpse certainly would not disappoint.

Sure enough, after devouring this corpse, the Kunpeng's level reached 500—the demigod consummation tier! The effect was even better than a Lower God's divine spark.

On the other side, Lu Zheng sensed that the Kui Niu had also reached level 500.

In other words, he now had three level-500 divine pets in his grasp—the Kui Niu, the Taotie, and the Kunpeng!

It seemed he could begin the next Job Change Quest.
