Chapter 177: Demon Kings Have Now Become a Controllable Renewable Resource

The resurrection spell he'd been longing for had arrived! 【Skill: Light Resurrection】

【Effect: Minimum cost of one billion mana points, released on a single target; resurrects a target that has been dead for no more than one day. After resurrection, all attributes are restored, negative status effects are removed, and the target cannot be resurrected again within one day.】

This skill obviously only gave a target one extra life.

Its effects were limited.

Lu Zheng had thought he could use this to resurrect the Pride Demon King.

It seemed impossible now.

He needed to find another way.

But at least he now had the chance to give his parents and friends a second life.

Just then, Lu Zheng suddenly saw a flash of spiritual light appear on the summoning slot.

He had never stopped summoning these past two days.

Another pull had paid off!

【Ding! Consumed one hundred million mana points, successfully activated the skill God-Tier Summoning Art. Congratulations, you have obtained the five-star legendary divine pet 'Taowu'】 ×1 【Triggered hidden talent 'Summon the Gods' passive effect two: you have obtained the skill 'Seven Emotions and Six Desires'】

Before his eyes appeared a fierce beast with the build of a tiger and fur like a dog's, bearing wild boar-like fangs and a human face.

After seeing the skills it fed back, Lu Zheng was overjoyed.

【Skill: Seven Emotions and Six Desires】

【Effect: Consumes a certain amount of mana to enhance, weaken, or transfer a target's emotional energy; grants self-immunity against emotional interference.】

This skill appeared to have no offensive power, but was in fact the most fundamental of great powers!

Directly manipulating the emotional energy of all living things—amplify rage and instantly make a target lose their reason.

Amplify despair and make them lose the will to live, driving them straight to suicide!

Or take the release of emotions like joy, sorrow, and resentment—all would cause tremendous drain on a living being's mental power.

However, when Lu Zheng saw this skill.

His first thought was that it could resurrect the Pride Demon King!

All he needed to do was amplify the emotion of pride in people's hearts, transfer it into his own body, then inject it into the Pride Demon King's heart.

And not just the Pride Demon King—if the method worked, he could entirely use it to rapidly cultivate other Demon Kings.

Demon Kings would from now on become a controllable, renewable resource! Lu Zheng was extremely excited.

But he didn't rush to test it. Instead, he first had an External Avatar complete the inheritance of the Light God King Throne.

Condensing a divine core, inheriting the God King Throne.

The final level was 988, not yet at the peak.

Still acceptable.

Right now, Lu Zheng didn't expect God King-tier combat power to play much of a role—at the very least, it could serve as a bodyguard for his parents.

Against that entity surpassing the God King tier, he'd still have to rely on himself.

With the Light God King Throne in hand, Lu Zheng checked through the various skills it granted.

Holy Light Protection, Light Judgment, Light Holy Shield...

After just one glance, Lu Zheng was basically certain—they were all trash!

Of course, as Divine Skills they did have power, but alas, Lu Zheng had no need for such things.

Except for the last passive skill, which made the trip not entirely in vain.

【Skill: Light Divine Body (Passive)】

【Effect: Immune to single-hit damage below one billion points, physical damage reduced by 20%, energy damage reduced by 30%, and the reduced energy damage is converted into light energy that heals the user for the same amount.】

Previously, when he went up to the Divine Realm and encountered a Greed Demon King, though Lu Zheng didn't kill it, he still obtained its transformations and skills.

Among them was a skill just like the 'Loathing Demon Body' provided by the Loathing Demon King—the Greed Demon Body.

【Skill: Greed Demon Body (Passive)】

【Effect: Immune to single-hit damage below one hundred billion points, physical damage reduced by 10%, energy damage reduced by 10%; upon death, absorbs the power of greed to reconstitute the Greed Demon Body and be reborn within the Abyss Demon Realm.】 After the Greed Demon Body's bonuses, he already possessed 99.75% physical damage immunity and 99.45% spell damage immunity! Now with the added Super Armor effect of the Light Divine Body, his damage immunity increased once more.

It became 99.95% physical damage immunity and 99.75% spell damage immunity! Lu Zheng could now essentially immunize against physical attacks.

All physical damage was directly reduced to a mere five ten-thousandths—practically the same as Absolute Super Armor.

Of course, if there were rule-based preemptive skills like 'True Blessing' that ignored all defenses and dealt true damage, there was nothing he could do.

He still needed a thick health pool! But such skills were rare indeed, and Lu Zheng also had the Divine Skill 'Heaven-Reaching Jianmu' in hand, which could multiply his health tenfold.

No need to worry.

The next thing to do was resurrect the Demon King.

This required selecting a batch of targets as subjects for cultivating emotional energy.

Among all living creatures, humans possessed the strongest emotional energy—which was perhaps also the reason humans existed as Professionals.

And to harvest emotional power, he would have to act upon humans.

However, Lu Zheng didn't plan to make a move on the Daxia Alliance, but instead went to the nearby Xiaorizi Alliance.

During this period, he had eliminated so many crises, and these people were all beneficiaries—they couldn't be allowed to live so comfortably.

It just so happened they had a large population too—over a hundred million people—enough for the experiment.

Lu Zheng directly summoned a hundred thousand External Avatars, all activating the 【Seven Emotions and Six Desires】 skill simultaneously, with mana burning wildly.

Not just hundreds of trillions or thousands of trillions, but tens of thousands of trillions being spent!

In an instant, arrogance erupted simultaneously among over a hundred million people.

Everyone looked down on everyone else, convinced that others were nothing but lesser species while they themselves were noble princesses and princes.

Lu Zheng hastily harvested this emotional energy—wave after wave! It wasn't until everyone in the entire Xiaorizi Alliance had fainted from excessive mental exhaustion that Lu Zheng finally brought the power of pride into the Abyss Demon Realm.

He transferred this energy into the Pride Demon King's body.

He saw flesh grow around that heart, coalescing into a mass of flesh.

The effect was obvious!

Again!

Seeing that it worked, Lu Zheng immediately got fired up.

It didn't matter that all the Japanese people had passed out — he simply used healing arts to restore their condition.

Then he continued harvesting.

Within an hour, he harvested no fewer than ten times.

By the second time, the Arrogant Demon King had grown a head.

By the fourth time, an arm had sprouted.

By the eighth time, both legs had grown out.

After the tenth time, the Arrogant Demon King vibrated the wings on its back and suddenly opened its eyes.

Seeing Lu Zheng before it, it froze for a moment, then said in an arrogant tone, "Was it you who revived this god?"

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "That's right! I went to a lot of trouble, so hand over the Dark Divine Hammer, quick!"

Seeing that Lu Zheng actually had such an attitude, the Arrogant Demon King couldn't help but furrow its brow.

Immediately after, a large black hammer materialized in its hand.

"Human, the Dark Divine Hammer is the Dark God King's super divine weapon. You want it? Kneel down and beg me, and perhaps I will take pity on you and agree!"

Once Lu Zheng saw the hammer, there was no way he'd listen to its nonsense.

He simply raised his hand, gripped the Death Heavenly Pillar with both hands, and unleashed a world-destroying strike! 'Bang!'

The freshly revived Arrogant Demon King was blasted apart on the spot.

The force was just right — the god-rank divine core remained perfectly intact.
