Chapter 94: Crab Mountain! Golden Crown Crab Emperor! Frenzied Devouring Upgrade!

Before Xuanyuan Wuji left, there had to be a thorough sweep; he's not the kind who only watches the front and neglects the back.

Otherwise, after handling the empire's disasters alone for so many years, chaos would have already broken out.

This sudden situation now can only point to one problem.

The Evil God's influence has expanded, and the frequency of disasters it causes has increased!

Without time to investigate, Lu Zheng immediately had Eastern Ascending Dragon lead the way; they entered the teleportation array and quickly arrived inside the coastal defense stronghold Yuhai City.

The situation is far more critical than imagined! Because, just as they emerged from the teleportation plaza at the city center, they saw crab monsters battling professionals.

Looking up, the sight even shocked Lu Zheng, who had just exterminated millions of Evil God minions.

In the distance beyond the city walls, on a black‑red mountain, crab monsters kept pouring down.

That mountain, nearly four hundred meters tall, was astonishingly formed from countless crab monsters piled together.

These monsters didn't breach the wall; they built a Crab Mountain and crawled down from it!

Looking around, they found that the Crab Mountain wasn't alone—there were six in total.

What the hell, how big a crab nest did they have to poke to get this many crabs out!

But after the shock came delight.

Having so many monsters gathered is a very rare upgrade condition.

Lu Zheng didn't hesitate, instantly teleported beside a Crab Mountain and released Taotie.

Taotie, appearing outside the city, became so excited at the sight of the Crab Mountain that it swelled!

Its body suddenly grew enormous; with one bite it swallowed a huge chunk of the Crab Mountain, and a devouring black hole emerged, pulling countless crabs into it in an instant.

Taotie's experience points began to skyrocket! After all six Crab Mountains were devoured, Taotie, originally at level 167, jumped twenty levels to 187! Those crab monsters averaged only level 60, but their sheer number—each Crab Mountain contained at least a billion crabs—made up for it.

Being completely devoured generated an enormous amount of experience.

But the disappearance of the six Crab Mountains didn't mean the crab tide crisis was over.

Outside the city, dense crab monsters kept streaming toward the walls, yet without the massive pressure from the six Crab Mountains, order inside the city recovered quickly.

High‑level professionals focused their energy on exterminating the low‑level crabs, maintaining high efficiency.

The crabs came from the eastern sea; Taotie released a massive devouring black hole on the city's east side, sucking in the majority of the charging crabs.

The terrifying gravity crushed them into meat mush, then turned everything into energy.

Kill‑monster sound cues kept playing, and Taotie's experience bar above its head kept rising!

Lu Zheng had no intention of now charging into the sea to see if a demigod was behind this, because this raging monster tide was a rare upgrade environment for him.

He actually hoped this situation could continue.

In just three minutes, Taotie leveled up again! Maintaining this rate for an hour would push Taotie into the fifth‑transcendence tier! From the analysis of the last third‑transcendence professional assessment mission, if he can obtain three to five level‑appropriate fifth‑transcendence divine pets as escorts, the safety of the fourth‑transcendence mission would be greatly assured.

Baize has already reached fifth‑transcendence; Kui Bull, the Nine‑Headed Immortal Phoenix, and Xiangliu now all level up quickly each day, and once they hit a certain time, reaching fifth‑transcendence is steady.

Now, Taotie can see that it can surge past level 200 in one go, advancing to the fifth‑transcendence divine pet.

This opportunity must not be missed!

Devour, keep devouring! Inside North Sea City, the now‑safe civilians looked at the huge black silhouette outside the city and the figure standing atop it as if on clouds, full of awe and reverence.

They already knew that the one who rescued them was the recent national professional examination top scorer, the legendary summoner Lu Zheng!

At this moment, the black‑horned giant beast protecting them was a legendary divine pet! In such peril, being guarded by such a powerful being made them feel very secure.

The previously panicked city quickly settled into peace.

Half an hour later, Taotie's level reached 198, but Lu Zheng noticed that no more crabs seemed to be emerging from the sea.

This massive surge of crabs might have exhausted years of stock.

The behind‑the‑scenes monsters finally could no longer hold back; amid a swarm of twenty‑four saint‑grade crab monsters, a gigantic black‑shell crab as large as a mountain appeared on the coast and charged toward them.

【Monster: Golden Crown Crab Emperor】

【Race: Sea Beast (Corrupted)】

【Quality: Lord‑tier】

【Level: LV. 450 (Demigod)】【HP: 18000000/18000000】

【Mana: 1800000/1800000】

【Strength: 200000】

【Agility: 120000】

【Spirit: 120000】

【Constitution: 150000】

【Skills: Massive Shock, Water Wave Impact, Dual Hammer Sonic Burst, Condensed Water Magic Spike, Evil Demon Body (Passive)】

Lu Zheng saw this and furrowed his brows; indeed it was a demigod‑level corrupted beast! Though he had expected it, encountering one right after arriving showed how fast the corrupted species were mutating.

Otherwise Xuanyuan Wuji would surely have killed this monster before leaving, preventing a monster attack on the city.

With no desire to think further, Lu Zheng had already completed the Bridge of Magic Power link.

He didn't let Baize act, but let Taotie draw everyone's mana and fully unleash the Arcane Earth and Sky skill, making its already massive body even larger.

In the blink of an eye, it rose straight into the clouds!

The half‑demigod Golden Crown Crab Emperor, over 280 meters wide and over 100 meters tall, looked up at the terrifying creature now towering over 860 meters, a hint of bewilderment in its eyes.

In its perception, that terrifying being seemed to have emerged out of nowhere.

It never imagined such a formidable opponent could exist.

Just a second ago, everything it sensed was weaker than itself.

Now, facing the colossal Taotie, it felt pressure from a higher life tier!

In the next instant, Taotie wielded an abyssal demon fork, drove it straight into the crab's shell, hammered it into the ground, causing the earth to quake.

Lu Zheng promptly used the Earth‑shaking Mountain‑moving skill to control the leyline power, expanding the quake from the city's edge outward, releasing it underground.

This prevented Beihai City from suffering an earthquake disaster.

But the Golden Crown Crab Emperor was miserable beyond compare! It was torn apart by the Taotie piece by piece, then each leg was eaten into its belly.

At the same time, the gravitational range of the Devouring Black Hole expanded to its maximum, directly reaching the seaside, packing and eating the remaining crab monsters! Experience feedback, Lu Zheng again obtained five Divinity Fragments, the Taotie leveled up three times, reaching level 201, advancing to a Five-Revolution Divine Pet.

"Roar!"

The Taotie let out a hiss, showing its excitement.

Lu Zheng then raised his hand to put it away and returned to the city.

Just now he suddenly received a message saying his Divinity Equipment reforging had succeeded!

New Book: After Divorce, the Myriad Heavens' Dao Partners Come After

Synopsis: After three years of marriage, the wife dissatisfied with her current life believed she deserved better, and under the urging of her close friend proposed divorce.

Faced with the wife's cold mockery, Lu Zheng felt disheartened and could only agree.

Who would have thought, right after receiving the divorce certificate, he was directly embraced by a white-robed female warrior in ancient attire.

Following that, the Cold Beauty Empress, the Demonic Cult Holy Maiden, the Daoist Sect Fairy, the Lovely Simple Dragon Girl, and other women with distinct identities appeared one after another.

They all loudly proclaimed themselves to be Lu Zheng's sole Dao Partner!

Even fighting for Lu Zheng, various precious elixirs and magical treasures vied to be given to him.

Actually, in three days, the World Pearl that Lu Zheng had picked up a year ago would be activated, thus beginning the journey through the Myriad Heavens.

He subsequently experienced a hundred and eight worlds—martial arts, fantasy, xianxia, etc. —and in each world he had a Dao Partner.

These Dao Partners, with his help, grew into the top powerhouses of their respective worlds! Ten thousand years later, a great war occurred, time fell into chaos, multiple worlds merged, and the Myriad Heavens worlds began to overlap with the Origin World where Lu Zheng resided.

Lu Zheng perished in body and dao.

Moreover, each of his Dao Partners obtained a shard of the World Pearl, guided by the shards they came to seek him! As the Myriad Heavens worlds merged with reality, everyone was in peril, but Lu Zheng, with the aid of his Dao Partners, gradually reascended to the supreme, commanding the Nine Heavens and treading upon the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Worlds.
