Chapter 173: This Power

This power! It has already surpassed the God King level — it's unreasonable!

Luoser had just sensed the auras of life and death; the two energies combined might be able to produce such an effect.

But he still felt something was a bit off.

Among the three Demon Kings, the surviving Greed Demon King dragged his ruined body and looked at Luoser in terror.

"My Lord! That power just now was too strong — it was as if you had struck personally!"

"In this world, there cannot be any power that rivals mine! Unless that outsider intervened — I never expected him to grow this fast. Send down all the Main Gods and accelerate the fusion. I need to break the world's limits as soon as possible."

Luoser commanded.

At his command, the twenty-eight surviving Main God-level Evil Gods could only comply.

Fusing this many Main God-level Divine Kingdom instances did not require every instance to be fully fused — once the fusion progress reached about one-third, the world upgrade could be completed.

Raising the level cap of Water Ball Planet to the Main God-level perfection of level 900.

The next step of fusing God King-level instances required only fully fusing one God King-level Divine Kingdom instance to completely break through the level restriction.

Lu Zheng immediately sensed the newly added Main God-level Divine Kingdom instances and released a hundred thousand External Avatars to encircle and intercept the monsters within them.

He was not in a hurry to kill them.

Setting everything else aside, twenty-eight Main God-level Divine Cores — that was a substantial amount of upgrade resources.

Lu Zheng's actual level was only at the Main God level right now, at level 896 — and that was after just killing two Demon Kings and leveling up.

This showed just how much experience was needed to level up after reaching the Main God level.

These Main Gods would not help much with his own leveling, but they could at least help one more Divine Pet advance to the Main God level.

Lu Zheng sent the Six-Eared Macaque to kill these newly appeared Main Gods one by one, then also gave it a God King-level Demon King's Divine Core to devour.

The remaining one, he devoured himself.

The Six-Eared Macaque successfully advanced to the Main God level, and in one stroke reached level 824.

Lu Zheng also successfully advanced to the God King level, reaching level 913.

Upon reaching the God King level, advancing became even more difficult — it seemed that only through absorbing energy plus a long passage of time could one's experience reach perfection.

Unless there existed an even more powerful being!

Lu Zheng instantly thought of that guy in the Divine Realm.

A power exceeding the God King level, an existence that surpassed the limits of this world — Lu Zheng was not certain whether he had the strength to kill the other party.

It was not safe! He still had to keep finding ways to amplify himself without changing his level.

Summon more Divine Pets, let them level up, and feed back base attributes to himself.

Inherit more God King Thrones and acquire more powerful skills.

The skill granted by the Life God King was excellent — it could be said to have increased Lu Zheng's strength considerably.

During the three months of vacation, Lu Zheng had not let his avatar sit idle, continuously gathering clues about other God King Thrones.

There were five God Kings in the Divine Realm: the Life God King, the Death God King, the Destruction God King, the Darkness God King, and the Light God King.

Though there were only five, their strength was extremely formidable — sufficient to suppress the nine great Demon Kings of the Abyss Demon Realm and the four Demon Kings of the Undead Plane.

According to the information Lu Zheng obtained, had the Darkness God King not failed his breakthrough and suffered backlash with severe injuries, the evil faction would not even have been able to achieve mutual destruction.

The Darkness God King was severely wounded and fell to a joint ambush by the Demon Kings; immediately after, the remaining four God Kings were defeated one by one.

Even so, in the end, all the Demon Kings of the evil faction were beaten into slumber as well.

Had the outsider not changed the status quo, the two factions would have continued to develop into an evenly matched stalemate.

After the Darkness God King fell, his residual energy formed an instance called Dark Canyon. This was a Holy-level instance, containing a kind of monster called a Dark Giant, each one with strength above the Holy level.

Previously, Xuanyuan Wuji and the others had not known the true nature of this instance, treating it only as a trial ground for Holy-level professionals.

Because it was located at the far western edge of the Daxia Alliance, with no settlements nearby, no one paid it much attention.

Lu Zheng also only found information about the site of the Darkness God King's fall after a lengthy search — this instance was the sole clue to obtaining the Darkness God King Throne.

But he did not go there in person; instead, he used the 'Triple Clone' skill to create a clone that entered Dark Canyon.

Relying on the 'Fusing Darkness' skill, he had no conflict with the Dark Giants and went straight to the deepest part of Dark Canyon.

The closer to the deepest part, the stronger the dark energy and the stronger its corrosive power — even a half-God-level Xuanyuan Wuji from before could not have gone deep inside, so no one knew what it looked like within.

After Lu Zheng entered, he was astonished to discover that there was actually a pitch-black eyeball inside.

It was like a black hole, absorbing all surrounding light into itself, plunging everything within a hundred-meter radius into absolute darkness.

Even a half-God-level existence, upon entering this area, would be directly corroded into a Dark Giant.

The so-called Dark Giants were creatures that, after being devoured by darkness, had evolved into a kind of slave of darkness!

Lu Zheng was still quite familiar with dark energy.

He had mastered quite a few darkness-related skills, so he did not feel any discomfort at all.

Through the 'Illusion-Breaking Golden Eye,' Lu Zheng could see the information of this eyeball.

【Item: Dark Left Eye】

【Effect: The Light God King and the Darkness God King each refined their own eyeballs into super divine artifacts using their respective divine power. Holding one allows you to unlock the inheritance of the Light God King or the Darkness God King, and master the power of Light or Darkness.】

Lu Zheng had his clone touch the 'Dark Left Eye,' and suddenly the enormous eyeball began to shrink, instantly becoming the size of a walnut and falling into his hand.

The dark space dissolved, and all the Dark Giants vanished as well.

At the same time, a prompt appeared before him.

【Please choose to unlock the Light God King Inheritance or the Darkness God King Inheritance】

Lu Zheng was stunned for a moment — so that was what it meant.

It was actually possible to unlock the Light God King's inheritance through the 'Dark Left Eye' — that worked out perfectly, saving him another trip.

Now, of the five great God King Thrones in the Divine Realm, he had already mastered three — the Destruction God King, the Life God King, and the Death God King — and was only missing these two to collect them all.

Without further hesitation, he directly unlocked the inheritance of the Darkness God King Throne.

【Ding! You have opened the Divine Exam: Dark God King! To inherit the god's throne, you need to meet the following three conditions】

【Condition One: Dark Affinity reaches 100%】

【Condition Two: Complete the three assessment contents】

【Condition Three: Condense the divine spark】

【First assessment content: Retrieve! The lost Dark Right Hand!】

【Description: A part of the Dark God King's right hand remains, lost in the Abyss Demon Realm; retrieve and obtain its energy to complete the assessment】

【Reward: Dark Affinity +30%; Divine Skill: Dark Space】

Abyss Demon Realm Lu Zheng is also a regular there; with a single thought he directly arrives there via the 'Flying Yellow Stride' skill, and according to the guidance of the Dark Left Eye, he quickly finds the so-called Dark Right Hand.

Called a right hand, it is actually just a small part of it.

The energy contained within is not insignificant; Lu Zheng directly sends his main body to come, using the Black Hole Devour skill to completely absorb it.
