Chapter 145: Slaughtering the Abyss Demon Realm, Breaking His Classmates' Defenses Once More

After hearing Lu Zheng recount his entire Job Change Quest, even Xuanyuan Wuji fell silent.

His inheritance trial for a Main God-level divine throne was already a matter of nine deaths and one life.

Without the help of Wu Tuohai and Lu Zheng, it would have been nearly impossible to complete.

According to Xuanyuan Wuji's judgment, divine thrones at the Main God level and above required at least True God-level combat strength to participate in the trial.

And if the Main God level was already this difficult, then the God King level — the ultimate trial —

One could imagine just how high its difficulty would be!

Setting everything else aside, just the one hundred billion kill targets no lower than level thirty was already terrifying enough.

If not for the divine nation dungeon fusion and the monster invasion, Lu Zheng would probably have had to delve deep into the Abyss dungeon to complete the quest.

But now, he was not far from completing it.

The monsters in the divine nation dungeons at the Mid God level were numerous, each dungeon containing no fewer than eight billion. After subtracting the portions killed by others and the portions below level thirty,

across ten dungeons, those who died at the hands of Lu Zheng's External Avatar numbered as many as forty billion.

Those ten Evil Gods at the Mid God level had originally planned to join forces and kill Lu Zheng after the fusion was complete.

Instead, Lu Zheng's clones wiped out their respective dungeons along with all ten Evil Gods.

But this was still not enough.

Adding the previously accumulated kill targets, it only came to just over sixty billion — still far short.

Xuanyuan Wuji knew a great deal of information about the Evil Gods, especially after becoming a Main God — it seemed he had received a lot of information about deities.

He spoke up: "This time, the Evil Gods sent ten Mid Gods at once to fuse their divine nation dungeons. Clearly, this was not merely to let Mid God-level Evil Gods descend and wreak havoc. Rather, it was to prepare for the fusion of High God-level divine nation dungeons.

Once this round of fusion is complete, it will be time for High God-level Evil Gods to descend upon Water Sphere.

By then, the number of wild monsters will likely be far greater than this time.

Although with my combat strength I would have no fear of those High God-level Evil Gods, the monsters spread across various regions will certainly place enormous pressure on city defenses everywhere.

If you were here, things would be much safer.

Judging from the current dungeon fusion progress, it will take roughly half a month to complete the Mid God-level divine nation dungeon fusion. In that time, are you confident you can complete your trial?"

Lu Zheng thought for a moment.

"If all goes smoothly, it shouldn't be a problem. I'll head to the Abyss Demon Realm right now to acquire more kill targets and aim to complete this trial item within three days, then open the final trial."

Xuanyuan Wuji frowned and proposed:

"Why don't I go with you? You're very strong, but facing a Main God-level Evil God is still too dangerous."

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Compared to me, Senior, it would be more prudent for you to remain stationed at the Daxia Alliance. If you come adventuring with me, there will be no one left to oversee the big picture here. The threat facing Water Sphere right now requires at least one Main God to hold the fort before everyone can live in peace.

If you have nothing to do, Senior, take these few days to help the Saint-level professionals, including my master, level up as quickly as possible. Our current strength is still insufficient — we need more professionals to inherit divine thrones."

"You kid really have risen in the world — now you can even give me orders! Fine, we'll do as you say, but on one condition: you'd better come back alive and in one piece!"

Xuanyuan Wuji patted Lu Zheng on the shoulder and said.

After Lu Zheng finished off the last of the monsters in the various divine nation dungeons, he came to the Abyss Demon Lair dungeon outside Tiannan City and entered the Abyss Demon Realm directly through the ninth floor.

Once inside the Abyss Demon Realm, he equipped the black-gold title 'Abyss Demon God' that he had obtained from killing a hundred million Abyss monsters above level thirty.

This title dealt an additional 10% spell damage to monsters — one-tenth extra spell damage greatly increased his monster-slaying efficiency.

After equipping the title, Lu Zheng directly transformed into the form of a 'Flame Demon,' then released his External Avatar to create even more demon clones.

Lu Zheng was going to go on a killing spree in the Abyss Demon Realm, and he dared not use positive energy.

His kill count was likely to attract the attention of Main God-level Evil Gods.

So the safest approach was to transform into the appearance of a demon, infiltrate the enemy's ranks, then spread out and start the slaughter.

This way, Flame Demons killing in various places would not seem particularly conspicuous. After all, in the Abyss Demon Realm, slaughter between the various races was a perfectly ordinary occurrence.

As the demon race that formed the ruling class of the Abyss Demon Realm, their slaughter of other low-level monsters was an even more common affair.

Lu Zheng killed while creating clones, all the while moving deeper into the Abyss.

Along the way, he left behind a large number of External Avatars transformed into Flame Demons.

In just three short days, the entire Abyss Demon Realm was driven mad by a swarm of Flame Demons on a killing frenzy!

Lu Zheng had created over a million clones, each possessing terrifying combat strength comparable to a Mid God.

They killed every living thing they saw, regardless of what it was.

Even if it was another Flame Demon, they would kill it too!

No — they specifically chased down Flame Demons to kill!

After all, Lu Zheng kept a Flame Demon as a divine pet. With this excellent opportunity, how could he not stockpile some Flame Demon Hearts to help the little guy evolve?

After all that effort, it successfully evolved to the quality of a three-star Legendary Divine Pet.

But to advance further, he would need to kill at least a Main God-level Flame Demon.

Lu Zheng was a man who knew when to be content.

When he saw that his kill targets had exceeded expectations and reached over one hundred and thirty billion, he promptly ran for it!

If he didn't run now, he wouldn't be able to escape at all.

A large number of his clones had been destroyed by several Main Gods. It looked like they had noticed the problem and were investigating — he figured they would find him soon enough.

Lu Zheng hastily fled the Abyss Demon Realm.

Right after leaving the Abyss Demon Realm, he happened to run into Mu Yunlan and the others.

Getting to see Lu Zheng was no easy matter.

Yang Dong and Wang Jun rushed over, shouting.

"Boss, I missed you to death! We haven't seen each other for so long — where did you go this time?"

Yang Dong asked.

Lu Zheng said casually, "I just went to the Abyss Demon Realm and killed a few hundred billion Abyss monsters. Then I got chased by a bunch of Main God-level Evil Gods, so I hurried and ran out."

Mu Yunlan and the others stared, dumbfounded.

If it had been anyone else—even a Saint-rank professional—Wang Jun would definitely have mocked them outright.

"Keep blowing your own horn!"

But standing before them was Lu Zheng, a professional of their own age who had once taken down a Mid God.

His excellence needed no boasting whatsoever.

So these words could only be fact! It could only be said that Lu Zheng's strength truly exceeded their imagination.

The gap between people is sometimes just this obvious!

"Keep working hard, everyone. I still have to go take the God King assessment—I'm off to take care of things. When I get back, we'll have time to get together!"

Before the words had even faded, Lu Zheng vanished from the spot.

Hearing these words, the crowd could not help but fall silent once more.

Good lord—you're about to inherit the God King Throne, and you still have time to hang out with a bunch of us third-tier professionals?

Mu Yunlan, Ji Zirou, and Tantai Mingyue—the three women exchanged glances, each seeing the deep sense of powerlessness in the others' eyes.

She had already been chasing Lu Zheng's footsteps with all her might.

Yet he was about to become a God King, exalted and towering above all gods, while they, even among mortals, were but the unremarkable ones! Thanks for your support! (End of this chapter)
