Chapter 139: World-Building Tree, Death-Substitution Technique

As a five-star legendary divine pet, the Jian Horse had only two skills.

One was "World-Building Tree," and the other was this "True Blessing."

But even so, it could be called an invincible presence! 【Skill: World-Building Tree】

【Effect: Consume half of your own mana to plant a World-Building Tree in the void. When the tree is planted, your maximum mana and maximum health increase to ten times their original values. After your health is completely reduced to zero and you die, the World-Building Tree will die in your place, and you will revive in full condition.】

A death-substitution technique!

Unlike simply gaining an extra life, this death-substitution technique meant immunity to all curses and similar effects.

All statuses could be restored, equivalent to a chance to start over on the spot.

Not to mention, it directly increased the caps on mana and vitality by tenfold.

He only needed to cast a recovery-type skill on himself or wait a period of time for natural recovery, and he would possess ten times the mana and vitality.

It was equivalent to elevating his life tier by an entire order of magnitude.

For now, this kind of skill that massively boosted personal potential was extremely important to Lu Zheng.

It was just a pity that this skill could only be cast on oneself.

That meant only the two divine pets, the Spirit-Minded Stone Monkey and the Six-Eared Macaque, could obtain this skill from him, thereby learning and mastering it.

The two divine pets plus himself and the Jian Horse—the original eight hundred million mana became eight billion, equivalent to having thirty-seven extra divine pets providing him with mana and sharing vitality! However, what truly made Lu Zheng feel he could defeat even a Main God was the other skill.

True Blessing!

Ignoring defense, absolute true damage; absolute buffs and absolute healing—these were all powerful.

But the most powerful was still absolute control! The "Life Channel" skill obtained earlier was a control-type skill.

If the target was too powerful, it would cause this skill to fail.

But now, with "True Blessing" as a prerequisite skill, this skill could take effect directly on a Main God or even a God King.

This meant that when he fought that Main God-level Evil God, he could use this skill to bind himself and the Evil God together.

When the opponent attacked Lu Zheng, its health would automatically be transferred onto Lu Zheng! Using this skill, he could even make the opponent beat itself to death.

Because there was inherently a massive gap in maximum health between the two, the opponent would continuously transfer health to him until the opponent's health reached a lower limit.

In this way, it was almost equivalent to sharing life and death together!

He only needed to wait until both parties' health reached a similar level, then unleash a powerful attack skill while simultaneously severing the Life Channel to execute the target, and everything would be over.

After acquiring a skill capable of turning the tide of battle, Lu Zheng felt he could truly rise up.

But before that, he felt it would be best to pick a target and test it first.

He immediately thought of the Undead Evil God slumbering in the Bone Throne instance—the Upper God-level Bone Demon Lord Mortos! He couldn't recklessly provoke a Main God, but an Upper God was something he could afford to provoke now.

Let alone having the World-Building Tree skill—even without it, the shared energy of vitality and mana provided by his many divine pets at Peak Mid God combat level would be enough for him to clash with an Upper God.

Thinking of this, Lu Zheng directly left the Spider God Island instance and headed north to the Bone Throne.

As for the eight Zerg Lower Evil Gods' divine kingdom instances that had invaded and fused with this world, they were now nearly cleared out.

After all, that was over twenty-five thousand Mid God combat forces—not to mention eight, even eighty could be flattened.

But clearly, the God-Devouring Worm Empress Sandra could not bear all eight Lower Gods dying in the endeavor of pioneering fusion; eight was already the limit.

As these eight Lower Gods' divine kingdom instances gradually fused into Water Sphere Star, this world's level cap gradually rose, quickly reaching level six hundred, but it could never break through this limit.

The fusion of Lower Gods alone could not break this restriction.

Next, Evil Gods at the Mid God level would need to descend, but Mid God-level combat forces were even harder to find. Now still wanting to seize more Orthodox Gods' divine thrones, which one to sacrifice—Sandra would have to weigh the decision.

Just as she was weighing her options, Lu Zheng had already arrived in the Bone Throne instance.

Although he knew Mortos slumbered here, he had no way to find the exact location; he could only let it awaken naturally.

To make it awaken, he needed to gather enough undead aura. As it happened, Lu Zheng had just mastered the Death God King's "Undead Calamity" skill, so he directly activated the summoning.

Under the effect of the "World-Building Tree" skill, Lu Zheng alone possessed up to twelve billion eight hundred million mana. He directly consumed ten billion mana to activate Undead Calamity.

A massive spatial projection zone opened toward the Undead Plane. All undead below the Mid God level that were encompassed within it obeyed Lu Zheng's summons and descended into this world.

In one breath, six billion various undead were brought over, and dense death aura filled the entire instance.

But clearly, it still had not reached the level needed to revive Mortos.

Lu Zheng waited a dozen-plus seconds for his mana to recover, then once again consumed ten billion mana to activate Undead Calamity.

This time, he only brought over four billion-plus undead; the death aura was still not enough.

Lu Zheng had no choice but to repeatedly cast this skill until the total number of undead reached over thirty billion, at which point the entire Bone Throne instance began to shake violently.

By now, the instance was packed with all kinds of undead.

In the southwest direction, the earth split open and an enormous bone throne rose up.

Immediately after, the vast majority of the surrounding undead were instantly drained of all their energy.

Above the throne, shrouded in a mass of black light, a colossal human skeleton over two hundred meters tall appeared before his eyes.

This thing also had a pair of enormous bone wings and a spiked tail growing from its back.

It held a massive bone sword, blade tip downward, gripping it with both hands. Suddenly, it raised its head, and two clusters of ghostly blue flame rose within its pair of empty eye sockets.

"Human! Was it you who awakened me? What do you desire—powerful death energy, or for me to kill someone for you?"

Lu Zheng was a bit surprised that this thing could actually speak Chinese.

He had to admit that among gods, there were cultured ones too.

"I did awaken you. I want to kill the Evil God Oswaldo—go kill him!"

The atmosphere fell into a brief silence.

After a long moment, Mortos erupted in fury:

"Oswaldo is a Main God-level Evil God. You human, you actually toyed with me—seeking death!"

Lu Zheng was a bit speechless. How could this thing react so slowly? Could it be that sleeping too long had caused osteoporosis?

But that didn't matter—there was still plenty of time anyway.

Skill 'True Blessing' activated successfully, establishing 'Life Channel' successfully! Come on, let me see how strong your attack power is.
