Chapter 182: Binding Immortal Rope! The Demon King Is Excellent Alchemy Material!

The seven innate protections are all very formidable.

But this is only the first ability of the innate Gourd Vine; it has another ability as well.

【Skill: Binding Immortal Rope】

【Effect: Consumes at least 100 million mana points, can be released on any target whose level does not exceed 500, completely restrains the target's mobility and mana, causing it to lose the ability to perform physical attacks and cast skills.】

Lu Zheng was already very calm after seeing this skill.

After all, having been tempered by the previous seven treasure gourds, he had already been shocked many times.

Moreover, he instantly saw the flaw of this skill.

Although it can strip the opponent of physical attack and casting ability, they can still use mental attacks! Yet that alone is already sufficiently domineering.

Lu Zheng can still accept it.

It must be said that this innate Gourd Vine is absolutely the most powerful among the divine pets Lu Zheng currently commands.

None equal!

Lu Zheng doubts whether the so‑called "Five‑Star Divine Pet" is merely the highest rating in this world, because the existence of this innate Gourd Vine already far exceeds that level.

In this world, the highest tier is only Five‑Star Legend! Lu Zheng conducted a test with an innate Red Gourd.

With 10 billion mana, the summoned Red Gourd can eliminate targets below level 600, i. e., the Lower God tier.

With 100 billion mana, the Red Gourd can eliminate targets below level 700, i. e., the Mid God tier.

With 1 trillion mana, the Red Gourd can eliminate targets below level 800, i. e., the Upper God tier.

With 10 trillion mana, the Red Gourd can eliminate targets below level 900, i. e., the Main God tier.

With 100 trillion mana, the Red Gourd can eliminate targets below level 1000, i. e., the Divine King tier.

In principle, treasure gourds were not meant to exist for dealing with Divine King‑level foes.

Because a level‑999 peak Divine King only has 200 trillion mana.

At most, it can summon a treasure gourd of the next lower level.

But Lu Zheng is different.

His base attributes are explosive; his own mana now reaches a terrifying 320 trillion, and he can also share the mana of other level‑999 peak divine pets, even using 1 quadrillion mana to create a treasure gourd.

After another attempt, Lu Zheng found that 10 quadrillion mana seemed unable to perform the creation.

Because a treasure gourd's own level is limited, unless the gourd first breaks through its level, or it itself first breaks the level restriction.

Otherwise it cannot continue to forge stronger treasure gourds.

A single slash to annihilate a being above Divine King level is impossible.

Upon careful study, Lu Zheng discovered that the innate Purple Gourd that can refine spirit pills, the innate Red Gourd that emits soul‑scattering red mist, and the innate Orange Gourd that enslaves ten thousand races—though all very powerful—each impose level requirements on their targets.

They cannot affect higher‑level targets.

But the innate Yellow Gourd has no level restriction on attack targets! Creating a top‑grade innate Yellow Gourd with 100 trillion mana can spend 100 billion mana to forge a slashing flying knife, dealing 10 trillion physical damage and 100 billion mental damage.

Lu Zheng does not mind the 10 trillion physical damage.

He has many ways to output damage a hundred times that figure.

What he cares about is a single strike of 100 billion mental damage.

A peak Divine King's mental attribute is less than 10 billion.

Lu Zheng believes that even against beings above Divine King level, 100 billion mental damage is enough to inflict a serious wound.

What he intends to do is continue producing more innate Yellow Gourds.

At least a hundred; each slashes once for 100 billion, a hundred makes 10 trillion.

Lu Zheng refuses to believe the opponent's mental value could exceed 10 trillion!

Even if the opponent has some mental defenses, a 100 billion strike will definitely cause some damage.

Ten trillion mental damage, if even one‑tenth becomes true injury, can threaten its life. Moreover, a hundred slashing flying knives deal 10 trillion physical damage, which ten Divine King‑level foes combined cannot even scratch.

It should at least wound that higher‑level being, right?!

Three days later.

On this day, the world's level reached 900, the maximum Main God tier.

Divine King level can now merge.

Once a Divine King‑level Divine Realm instance is merged, it means the ultimate limit of world rules is completely shattered.

That being beyond Divine King level will no longer be confined to the divine realm; it will descend upon Water Sphere Star.

On that day, Lu Zheng was not within the Water Sphere Star plane.

To this day, relying on the chaotic qi generated by the innate Blue Gourd, he converts it into massive experience.

Lu Zheng has raised all the divine pets under his command to level 999, meaning every divine pet has reached peak Divine King level.

Four‑Star Legend divine pets match the combat power of true peak Divine Kings.

And the Five‑Star Legend divine pets at level 999 can each beat the so‑called peak Divine Kings on the ground!

They possess the strength to crush peak Divine Kings.

Thus, Lu Zheng only left the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise—the four sacred beasts—to guard Water Sphere Star.

He himself remains in the Abyss Demon Realm continuing the great summons! Even if the Divine King‑level Divine Realm instance merges quickly, it cannot finish instantly; it will certainly take some time.

Lu Zheng estimates it will be no less than ten days.

He is not in a hurry to return.

The Abyss Demon Realm has abundant material resources that can be refined into chaotic qi for storage, allowing more divine pets to level up.

Lu Zheng has not given up summoning these days.

The emergence of the innate Ren Water Peaches Tree and the innate Gourd Vine made him realize the summoning position still has great potential to tap.

On Water Sphere Star, the Divine Realm instance merge continues.

The Main God-level Divine Nation instance had not fully merged with this world; it had only completed a plane upgrade.

However, this is no longer important.

Because the God King-level Divine Nation Plane instance has begun merging.

The Greedy Demon King descended, merging its own Divine Nation Plane with the Water Globe Star.

The Greedy Demon King is actually fearful inside.

It was worried that the God King who appeared in the Divine Realm that day would notice it, but after its descent, it did not detect that God King's aura.

It involuntarily let out a sigh of relief.

However, in the next moment, a huge white tiger descended and, with a single strike, tore it apart directly.

The white tiger transformed into a burly man holding a purple gourd.

He placed the Greedy Demon King's remnant corpse and divinity together into the treasure gourd, transforming them into a spirit pill.

Then it was sent into Lu Zheng's hands.

Among the summoned beasts under Lu Zheng's command, only the white tiger and the three-tailed spirit fox possess the ability to take human form; these two are considered very special existences.

The three-tailed spirit fox stays with its parents, while Lu Zheng entrusts the white tiger with handling affairs on the Water Globe Star.

Demon kings are excellent materials for alchemy!

Refining a demon king together with its divinity yields a spirit pill capable of boosting attributes by up to hundreds of millions of points.

This is also why Lu Zheng persists in continuing to resurrect and slay the Eight Great Demon Kings of the Abyss Demon Realm.

Hmm, now we can resurrect the Nine Great Demon Kings! (End of chapter)
