Chapter 86: I Am the Lord of All Gods! Heaven and Earth Feed Me Experience Points!

So Xuanyuan Wuji had deliberately said that to avoid putting pressure on him!?

At this thought, Lu Zheng couldn't help but feel a measure of guilt.

This War God of Yanxia truly bore too much pressure, and he had actually thought of him like that!

Half a year—no wonder, upon learning that he could slay a demigod, he had urgently wanted him to share some of the burden.

He didn't want to shirk his responsibilities; he was worried that he truly couldn't protect such a vast homeland! A weight settled in Lu Zheng's heart.

He suddenly thought of the Spider God Island dungeon. Now it was almost certain that an Evil God existed within it.

That fellow was surely, just like Jacob, searching for a way to break through the seal and descend upon this realm.

And since that High Priest was already at the demigod level, the Evil God behind the scenes had to be a true god-level existence.

"Senior, I suggest you wait until you've reached the demigod level before entering the inheritance trial. This Thunder Prison Guardian is already level four hundred; the trials inside should start at the demigod level at minimum. Now is absolutely not the best time to undertake the trial."

Hearing Lu Zheng say this, Wu Tuohai smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not some impulsive youngster. I certainly won't risk my own safety. However, the Thunder Prison Guardian should still be able to respawn, and at that point there's a high probability of obtaining another Thunder Prison Token of Sin. You can also try participating in the trial then."

Lu Zheng nodded.

"I'll consider this matter later. But since there's a Thunder God trial, there must also be inheritance trials for other deities—it won't be limited to just this one. It seems we need to explore more dungeons like this and gather more information."

Wu Tuohai said with satisfaction, "Very good, you've thought it through thoroughly. I will make this clear to War God Xuanyuan. But before that, let me see your lightning-attribute divine pet!"

A legendary divine pet—a summoning beast with the heritage of a deity—and a lightning attribute at that. Wu Tuohai was extremely curious.

"No problem, it's coming right over!"

Lu Zheng issued the command, and the Kui Bull immediately flew toward them.

It was indeed flying.

Its massive body made running too cumbersome, so it channeled the power of thunder and lightning, allowing its body to fly like a bolt of lightning.

In the blink of an eye, it was right before them! Wu Tuohai looked at the colossal beast before him—over two hundred meters tall, standing on one foot amidst a thunderstorm, its entire body crackling with lightning—and marveled, "What a powerful aura! It's only just reached the fourth tier, yet this aura is no weaker than mine, perhaps even a fraction stronger! It's like a true god who commands thunder and lightning! What kind of divine pet is this? Does it have a name?"

"Kui Bull! This kind of divine pet is called a Kui Bull. It doesn't have a specific name."

Lu Zheng answered.

Among all his summoning beasts, only the Three-Tailed Spirit Fox that could transform into a little loli had her own name; the rest went by their species name.

Otherwise, a jumble of different names would be too much trouble.

Wu Tuohai smiled and said, "Good! That name isn't bad either! Did you come here planning to let it stay and absorb the power of thunder and lightning?"

"Yes. There's no distance restriction between my summoning beasts and me, so I'll leave it here to grow stronger. I previously went to the Eye of the Fire God and stationed the Nine-Headed Undying Phoenix there."

Lu Zheng's answer didn't surprise Wu Tuohai.

"You summoners really are quite different from other summoners. I can sense that your base attributes don't seem inferior to mine at all. What a freak! Alright, I've achieved my goal for today. I'm heading back—take care of yourself."

Watching Wu Tuohai leave, Lu Zheng continued to ponder the matter of divine throne inheritance trials.

Should he find a divine throne and participate in a trial or not?

Forget it!

What divine throne could possibly suit him?

He was a man who commanded numerous divine pets—which meant he was the Lord of All Gods. A mere divine throne was beneath his notice!

However, Lu Zheng didn't leave. Instead, he planned to wait here for the Thunder Prison Guardian to respawn, then obtain a Thunder Prison Token of Sin.

He could pass on the divine throne, but he couldn't afford to lack the qualification to claim one!

Mainly, he also wanted that skill book.

That skill book was a Divine Skill. If he could master it and combine it with his current 【Domain of the Thunder Marsh】 passive skill, he'd be able to unleash even greater power.

Three days later, the Thunder Prison Guardian respawned.

Lu Zheng killed it instantly and obtained the Violet Radiance Chest. Sure enough, three identical items appeared before his eyes.

【Item: Eye of Heavenly Lightning】

【Effect: Used to craft lightning equipment; can influence the weather and summon heavenly lightning】

【Skill Book: Thunder Prison Chains】

【Effect: Consumes a minimum of 10,000 mana to create a Thunder Prison Chain. Can be used to bind or to attack a target. Attacks deal a minimum of 20,000 physical damage and 50,000 lightning spell damage. Multiple chains have a stacking effect.】

【Learning Requirement: Lightning Mage specialization class or mental power greater than 10,000】

Learned the skill. Learning complete.

With a thought, a chain descended from midair—and this was only the beginning.

As Lu Zheng experimented, chains continued to fall one after another. In the blink of an eye, from eight different directions, eight chains formed an all-encompassing enclosure.

He had Taotie test it out.

He discovered that even a chain constructed with the minimum mana cost—just 10,000 mana—once it bound someone, breaking free through brute force required at least 80,000 points of strength! The composition of these thunder chains was clearly vastly different from ordinary skills.

Moreover, once bound by the chains, they would conduct the power of thunder and lightning, continuously paralyzing and shocking the target, making it completely impossible for them to focus their mana to cast spells, and their body would be unable to move as well.

It had the effect of restricting movement and interrupting spellcasting!

Sure enough, this skill was just as Lu Zheng had anticipated—versatile in many ways.

But what Lu Zheng truly cared about wasn't using it against enemies, but rather applying the chains to himself.

These chains formed in the sky, essentially channeling the power of heaven and earth. The chains were forged from heavenly lightning, and the mana Lu Zheng himself expended was merely a catalyst.

The energy contained within was incredibly abundant.

When Lu Zheng applied the chains to himself, a steady stream of lightning energy surged into his body.

Due to the effect of 【Domain of the Thunder Marsh】, this violent heavenly lightning energy not only didn't harm Lu Zheng, but continuously provided him with experience points.

It could also provide mana, but it refilled to full in the blink of an eye, so the excess converted into experience points.

The Thunder Prison Chains, as long as they weren't broken, would persist indefinitely.

The power of heavenly lightning continuously poured in, equivalent to heaven and earth endlessly supplying him with experience points for leveling up—this was truly leveling up while lying down! The only flaw was that the Thunder Prison Chains couldn't move with him; to level up while lying down, he'd have to stay fixed in one spot.

He could use this skill in future battles—not only to restore mana and continuously level up, but also as a defensive measure.

Truly a triple gain—absolutely the Divine Skill!

Not in vain did he wait here for three days; it's time to go back, Spider God Island—he must give it a try! (End of chapter)
