Chapter 179: The Eight Great Demon Kings Have Been Annihilated by Lu Zheng

After learning that the Demon Kings are deeply bound to the Abyss Demon Realm, Lu Zheng roughly understood the logic of this world's rule operation.

He didn't investigate further; he simply kept killing and reviving the Arrogant Demon King to grind experience.

Killing one that devours divine essence, a Demon King roughly raises him five or six levels.

After repeatedly killing the Arrogant Demon King ten times, Lu Zheng's level reached 999.

He could not level up further.

A slight insight arose in Lu Zheng's mind: this is the world's maximum level.

He himself could not break this limit.

Because he is a reincarnated person in this world, he is bound by the rules.

But a god pet is not.

Lu Zheng thought.

He could continue upgrading his god pet, letting the pet's level surpass the limit.

By feeding back attribute points, he could keep becoming stronger.

Therefore, his true strength still lies in his summoned beasts, not in his own leveling.

Having realized this.

Lu Zheng began to continue using the Little Days Alliance as a gathering point, harvesting emotional energy to revive Demon Kings.

Demon Kings are currently the most cost‑effective monsters.

Killing a Demon King can raise a God‑King‑level being by five or six levels.

It can raise a Main God‑level entity by twenty‑to‑thirty levels.

That's pretty good! There's still time; as long as he can raise a god pet's level above God King level, Lu Zheng is confident he can deal with that outsider.

The highest‑level god pet now is Taotie, and Lu Zheng continues to level it up.

Two days later, Taotie reached level 999.

If all goes well, the next moment Taotie can exceed level 1000.

But when its experience bar filled, Lu Zheng suddenly discovered that the experience overflowed!

It did not continue to level up.

Lu Zheng couldn't help but calm his mind.

It seems his speculation was wrong; merely entering this world already subjects him to the world's rules.

Thus, now only two ways of strengthening remain.

One is to keep summoning new god pets to obtain other, more powerful skills.

The other is to strengthen the existing god pets.

Since 999 is the world limit, he will raise all god pets to 999.

As long as the number is sufficient, he can use the Bridge of Magic Power skill to channel mana; thus, even with his own level at only 999, he can possess mana that exceeds his own by one or several magnitudes.

The so‑called higher levels are nothing but more HP, more mana, stronger base attributes, and higher attack and defense.

His defense is now essentially maxed out.

His HP is also secured, though not yet very stable.

It needs further improvement.

The most critical factor is mana.

Lu Zheng cannot predict how much higher his next‑stage mana will be, nor whether any absolute suppressing skill exists; he must accumulate enough mana to maintain a good mindset when facing the upcoming strong enemy!

There are ten days left until the Main God‑level Divine Realm instance is fully merged.

Lu Zheng must race against time.

That means the people of the Little Days Alliance and the nine Demon Kings of the Abyss Demon Realm will suffer.

Hmm, the eight Great Demon Kings.

One Greedy Demon King has been hiding in the divine realm and hasn't returned.

The eight Great Demon Kings have already been annihilated by Lu Zheng! They are illustrious Demon Kings, the source of the world's calamities—when have they ever been treated like this? Moreover, they even want to point at Lu Zheng and berate him.

'You don't respect life! Isn't a Demon King's life still a life? Do you know how severe the psychological damage is when you repeatedly one‑shot a Demon King?!'

But Lu Zheng simply has no time to dally with them.

He is trying every method to strengthen his god pet.

Besides killing Demon Kings, for example, he lets an avatar use the Qin Yuan Bird's skill 'All Things Turn Toxic' to turn the Abyssal Demon Sea into poison, then lets Xiangliu soak in it, crazily absorbing toxic energy to level up.

This method works well; the Abyssal Demon Sea's energy is abundant, and it takes roughly seven days to raise Xiangliu to 999.

Thus it directly saves the time of leveling up a god pet.

Lu Zheng also had a hundred thousand avatars release the Five Thunderbolts Strike skill at Kui Niu; the massive mana turned into thunder energy, which Kui Niu absorbed and then converted into experience.

That speed isn't slow either, even faster than the toxin‑absorbing method! Estimating that, maintaining this pace would allow promotion to 999 in five or six days.

The Nine‑Headed Immortal Bird uses the same approach.

Lu Zheng lets an avatar unleash flames, letting it absorb and convert into experience; the speed is similar.

And after Kun Peng becomes the Primordial Giant Kun, it still relies on devouring to absorb even faster.

For beings like the Spirit Bright Stone Monkey, the Six‑Eared Macaque, and the Primordial Giant Kun that have devouring skills, he lets them absorb the Demon Kings' divine essence.

The remaining god pets can only have Lu Zheng assist, letting them kill Demon Kings to gain kill experience.

Doing this simultaneously can help many god pets level up at once.

Monster‑killing for leveling is the slowest, since resurrection takes time.

Lu Zheng's harvesting speed is already fast, but even speed has a process.

In the blink of an eye, five days have passed.

Up to today, Lu Zheng has already mastered Taotie, Kunpeng, Six‑Eared Macaque, Lingming Stone Monkey, Kui Niu, Xiangliu, Nine‑Headed Undying Bird, Chaowu, Cheng Huang, Ying Zhao, Jian Ma, Tong‑arm Monkey, Red‑Hind Horse Monkey, Qiongqi, Baize, and the sixteen‑headed Zhu Long, a level‑999, peak Divine King‑grade divine pet.

These are all five‑star legendary divine pets; when they reach Main God level, their attributes are already no weaker than those of a Divine King.

Now they have reached peak Divine King level, and their attributes are more than five times those of the Destruction Divine King, which is also a peak Divine King.

It is evident that their very essence of life surpasses the Divine King tier.

This world limits their growth.

In five days, Lu Zheng has summoned many more celestial‑quality spirit pets.

He has a premonition that today is the day to ship! Sure enough, at noon a wave of heat swept in, and a golden fire bird with three legs appeared before his eyes.

【Ding! Consumed 100 million spell points, successfully activated the God‑level Summoning Technique, congratulations you obtained the five‑star legendary divine pet "Three‑Legged Golden Crow"】×1【Triggered hidden talent "Summon the Gods" passive effect 2, you obtained the skill "Solar True Fire"】

【Skill: Solar True Fire】

【Effect: Minimum consumption of 1 billion mana, condenses a Solar True Fire, incinerates everything, dealing at least 500 billion fire damage to the target】

Overbearing!

So overbearing.

One billion mana for 500 billion damage.

Among the skills Lu Zheng has mastered, none can yet reach such terrifying damage values.

If it were 100 trillion mana, it could deal 500 trillion fire damage.

A level‑999 peak Divine King only has 600 trillion health!

With the few million mana Lu Zheng currently controls, using this skill he could instantly slay several hundred peak Divine Kings in one go.

So terrifying!

Now that's truly a high‑damage Divine Skill.

And the surprise brought by the Three‑Legged Golden Crow does not stop there.

Lu Zheng immediately set his eyes on that Super Armor‑type passive skill.

【Skill: Great Sun Treasure Body (Passive)】

【Effect: Immune to physical damage, reduces energy damage by 10% and reflects a portion of the reduced damage back to the source in the form of Solar True Fire】
