Chapter 391: The Demigod's Bountiful Reward!
Fresh blood spreads, wreckage scatters!
Screams and wails intertwine into a great net of death, permeating the void.
Boom—
The collision of forbidden spells erupts.
Like a massive death fireworks across the starry sky.
The scorching flames ignite tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of Insect Race and the transcendent warriors of Mo Lei·Shen Ting.
Various attacks crisscross, and the entire starry sky falls into chaotic and bloody turmoil.
With Ta Ke's hair‑trigger forbidden spell shattered, a large number of Insect Race teleportation channels around him collapse.
The entire Mo Lei·Shen Ting and Exotic Divine Alliance stronghold zones are pulled into the battlefield by Ta Ke.
When Ta Ke acts, several Chao Shen Da Shi immediately lock onto him and begin counterattacking.
Carrying a divine shield, Ta Ke's defense is virtually invincible.
Facing the onslaught of numerous Chao Shen Da Shi, Ta Ke instantly casts a forbidden spell, slashing many strong ones.
Today, I, Ta Ke, will take on a hundred!
Meteors fall, continuously exploding in the void.
Immediately after, a 20‑meter‑tall Starfall Ring rolls in, like a rolling wheel of death in history.
It continuously crushes the Master Sequence Tree of one Chao Shen Da Shi after another.
Since high‑ranking Chao Shen Da Shi are hard to kill, Ta Ke specifically picks off low‑ranking Chao Shen Da Shi.
The Starfall Ring, already at level 100, becomes immensely powerful under Ta Ke's Rune Arcane and World Force.
Crushing those low‑ranking Chao Shen Da Shi, each crush is precise; being crushed means death.
Within a dozen breaths, Ta Ke trampled to death over twenty Chao Shen Da Shi.
The collapse of the Chao Shen Da Shi sequence deep in the void rumbles back and forth like echoing thunder, terrifying all.
It shines together on the plane of death with the distant flood of blood, corpses, and remains of countless transcendants.
Facing those who charge straight at their faces, the Steam Master Ta Ke unleashes a forbidden slaughter spell.
The numerous Chao Shen Da Shi of Mo Lei·Shen Ting and the Exotic Divine Alliance are both shocked and angry.
This guy is only just over level 110, how dare he so arrogantly jump at them?
Yet under the relentless attacks of many strong ones, that powerful divine shield remains helpless.
For a moment, numerous strong ones are incensed yet unable to resist!
And Ta Ke continues his attacks.
He himself endures hundreds to thousands of attacks, after all, there truly are hundreds of Chao Shen Da Shi strong ones here.
If Ta Ke's own defense faced so many Chao Shen Da Shi attacks, it would have collapsed long ago, dying dozens of times.
But the divine shield, amidst a sea of varied attacks, remains steadfast and unmoving.
When Ta Ke killed a dozen mid‑ranking and low‑ranking Chao Shen Da Shi.
At the location of the Four‑tusk Elephant Ship, over fifty powerful Chao Shen Da Shi gradually arrive, joining the battle.
Combined with overwhelming divine might, invincible defense, and forbidden tactics, Steam Master Ta Ke can even threaten high‑ranking Chao Shen Da Shi.
Finally, the Chao Shen Da Shi of Mo Lei·Shen Ting and the Exotic Divine Alliance can no longer hold on.
"Retreat!"
Following the orders of several top‑tier high‑ranking Chao Shen Da Shi.
The numerous Chao Shen Da Shi scatter, fleeing into the deep void.
The Insect Race's spacetime wormholes are completely shattered by Ta Ke's forbidden spell ripples.
These Chao Shen Da Shi can only escape deeper into the void.
For transcendants beneath the Chao Shen Da Shi, wandering the deep void is very dangerous.
But for Chao Shen Da Shi, roaming the void makes them dangerous.
Swimming back slowly is no big deal, at most it just costs some time.
Facing the enemy's crushing defeat, this is an excellent chance to pursue and a rare opportunity to make a name.
Therefore, the Chao Shen Da Shi from demigod Alumo Fu's world, along with numerous Purple Magnolia Chao Shen Da Shi, immediately launched a massive pursuit above the void.
For a moment, the void is filled with eruptions of battle ripples everywhere.
In the distance, astonishing battle ripples come from demigod Alumo Fu and the gravely wounded Black Witch Death Abyss.
After seeing the enemy completely collapse.
Ta Ke finally lets out a long sigh.
As Ta Ke's chaotic steam sequence activation dissipates.
Ta Ke's aura, from the scorching, roaring steam explosion, quickly wanes and becomes feeble.
His once radiant, gem‑like body now resembles a frozen void stone skeleton, every movement a great struggle.
Luo Mos arrives at Ta Ke's location at this moment.
His gaze sweeps Ta Ke, and Luo Mos says in surprise:
"Ta Ke... you..."
Ta Ke forces his spirit, speaking weakly and a bit fatigued.
"Hehe... the divine force's wash is more terrifying and severe than I imagined."
"Fortunately, my Master State constitution is strong enough; it's just a slight over‑consumption."
"Overall, no major issues; a ten‑day to half‑month recuperation will suffice."
After giving Ta Ke a slightly uneasy up‑and‑down look, Luo Mos furrows his brows and says.
"How about I take you back?"
"No need…"
Ta Ke strained to wave his hand.
"There's no problem here, after all this divine shield can last for quite a while, and no one can threaten me."
"On the contrary, you go after the enemies yourselves; be careful those guys might counterattack when cornered."
Seeing the dull yellow light shield on Ta Ke, Luo Mo Si felt a bit relieved; with this powerful divine shield, there's really no need to worry about Ta Ke's safety.
"Alright then, you stay safe; I'm going to hunt down those fleeing Chao Shen Da Shi."
"After all, this battle is a perfect chance for us to counterattack the Blood Sea Ancient Ruins Shipwreck Site."
"As for safety, rest assured, we won't chase the high‑rank Chao Shen Da Shi lightly; we'll only go after the mid‑rank and low‑rank ones."
After giving Ta Ke a brief reminder, Luo Mo Si also rushed out to hunt.
After all, opportunities to rack up battle merits like this are rare.
The great collapse of the Chao Shen Da Shi.
Naturally, it caused the multitude of lower‑rank Chao Shen Da Shi to suffer comprehensive defeats as well.
Steam shark insects surged continuously, pursuing the scattered enemies.
Ta Ke did not force another forbidden‑spell time‑space wormhole jump, but flew toward the swarm of steam shark insects.
The steam not only shields Ta Ke, but also restores his condition.
"Just go back, recuperate, and quietly wait for news from the demigod A Lu Mo Fu and senior Luo Mo Si."
"This battle… the spoils are astonishingly abundant!"
"Moreover, after a brief preparation, counterattacking the Blood Sea Ancient Ruins Shipwreck Site poses no problem at all."
Soon, a flock of steam shark insects swiftly swam over, surrounding Ta Ke and spewing steam energy while carrying him toward the Four‑Tusk Elephant Realm Ship.
A little less than half a day later.
News of the Four‑Tusk Elephant Realm Ship battle spread quickly.
Across several major battle zones of the A Lu Mo Fu demigod world, it caused a huge stir.
Especially the fall of a legend.
This is even more a shocking, heart‑rattling piece of news.
After all!
No matter what, a legendary strongman lives for ten thousand years—a walking legend.
On the starry battlefield, where deities do not appear, legends are the absolute rulers!
But!
A legendary strongman fell so abruptly.
One can imagine the kind of undercurrents it will stir.
It seems influenced by the bloody battle reports from the Blood Sea Ancient Ruins Shipwreck Site.
The other five battle zones each launched large‑scale clashes among the strong.
In an instant!
The entire A Lu Mo Fu demigod battlefield faced unprecedented brutal melee.
Even the landing battle at the Blood Sea Ancient Ruins Shipwreck Site was equally unprecedentedly bloody and grim.
When the external melee became extremely savage.
Ta Ke calmly continued his cultivation inside the Four‑Tusk Elephant Realm Ship.
Four‑Tusk Elephant Realm Ship.
Flame World Tree, within a cabin realm.
Ta Ke continuously draws the power of the old stars' light from the heavens.
After a long while, Ta Ke slowly concluded his cultivation.
For a moment of thought, Ta Ke lifted his head to gaze at the old steam stars in the heavens.
"It seems the old stars' light is much heavier than before; even the steam's roar is more turbulent than before."
"The absorption cultivation effect is extremely good."
"Most importantly, while absorbing, I can feel some chaotic primordial power bubbling out and entering my body's outline."
"Is the steam ecology beginning to settle into the depths of the stellar chaotic origin, causing the stellar chaotic origin itself to start steam‑ifying and sequencing?"
Ta Ke pondered.
"When I absorb, indeed a continuous flow of stellar power surges in, becoming my Master World power; in any case, this is a good thing."
In his thoughts, Ta Ke looked at himself.
It has been two months since the great counterattack of Purple Magnolia began.
With many strongmen of A Lu Mo Fu joining, about a month after the war began they landed on the Blood Sea Ancient Ruins Shipwreck.
They have now occupied a passage fortress and continue the counterattack.
This major counterattack, legendary fall, and fortress capture have yielded notable results.
Across the entire A Lu Mo Fu demigod world's frontlines, it has caused a considerable impact.
And during these crucial two months.
After Ta Ke recovered from the wounds scorched by divine power.
He continues to absorb the old stars' light and steam.
Until a few days ago, Ta Ke once again condensed a stellar array.
Master·Six-Star Form.
This is Ta Ke's current Master‑level standard.
Feeling his own Master state in detail, Ta Ke gave a slight nod.
"At present, Master·Six-Star Form, the outline of the sequential body has become more solid."
"In a little over a year, I will reach Ten-Star Form, and with the 【Master Crystal Wall】 defense I have absorbed, which condenses the 【Stellar Crystal Wall】, my defense will reach an entirely new height."
"Then, ordinary lower‑tier Chao Shen Da Shi will basically be unable to break my defense with their attacks."
"Although lower‑tier Chao Shen Da Shi pose little threat to me themselves."
"But building defense to withstand hits is done step by step; you can't become a 'fat man' in one bite."
"Now lower‑tier Masters can't break the defense; later middle‑tier Chao Shen Da Shi, and eventually upper‑tier Chao Shen Da Shi will also be unable to breach it."
As for his incremental advancement in the Master realm.
Ta Ke really enjoys this solid development and the feeling of steadily getting stronger.
Not long after.
Steam Spirit Wendy deftly stepped out of the steam‑gray mist.
She delivered the battle reports from the past few days.
As Ta Ke's exchanges with the A Lumo Fu Half‑God World increased.
Now Steam Spirit Wendy has already linked to the Steam Spirit network of the A Lumo Fu Half‑God World.
Every few days, she can obtain battle reports from the A Lumo Fu Half‑God World.
After reading the reports, Ta Ke couldn't help shaking his head.
"The slaughter on this battlefield is getting more brutal, like madness!"
"In each periodic report, there are a dozen or even more Chao Shen Da Shi falling."
"As for high‑rank Chao Shen Da Shi, they appear merely as numbers in the reports."
"And that's only personnel casualties."
"Several small Chao Shen worlds have collapsed under the joint attacks of Chao Shen Da Shi."
"I recall that a few days ago a small Chao Shen world collapsed from the fighting."
"When the world shattered, Chao Shen Da Shi rushed in to seize the world's origin, fighting with heads split and blood flowing, causing massive casualties."
"Unlike me, who can remodel a world with the Steam·World Talent, the world continuously feeds me its world‑origin power."
"My world power is far stronger than that of many middle‑tier Chao Shen Da Shi."
"That said, the A Lumo Fu Half‑God World is a half‑god realm, and A Lumo Fu may become a true god in the future; it gathers many powerful Chao Shen, and is the home of numerous legendary strongmen and Chao Shen Da Shi."
"Facing enemy invasion and frantic counterattacks, this is entirely normal."
"I have no idea how long this divine war will last!"
With that thought, Ta Ke couldn't help rubbing his forehead.
If the war ends, Ta Ke can go to the A Lumo Fu·Half‑God World for peaceful cultivation.
But if the war doesn't end, the A Lumo Fu·Half‑God World is extremely dangerous.
His own nest is still safe.
After reviewing the reports and feeling a hint of melancholy, Ta Ke suddenly looked toward the altar.
"Hmm?"
"Is the teacher coming?"
Ta Ke instantly made a wormhole jump, landing in the altar area of the Flame World Tree.
Moments after Ta Ke's arrival.
Buzz—
Legendary heroic‑spirit light gathered, and Mo Erman's heroic‑spirit outline blossomed.
"Teacher!"
Ta Ke bowed and saluted.
Mo Erman first examined Ta Ke closely; after seeing no problem, he let out a sigh of relief.
Then a smile appeared on his face as he said,
"A few days ago the Divine Kingdom over at the Three‑Eyed God's side reignited war; I went to assist, and upon returning I heard of your astonishing achievements."
"You should know that legendary strongmen are extremely agile, yet you managed to trap one in a gourd."
"Your accuracy is astonishingly impressive."
"Is it the divine‑power scroll that's powerful, or just my luck? Just good luck."
Ta Ke quickly replied humbly.
"Hehe…"
Mo Erman smiled, not exposing this disciple whose talent is clearly outstanding yet refuses to admit it.
"Before I came, I received news from the A Lumo Fu Half‑God side."
Mo Erman said so.
Ta Ke immediately listened attentively.
Originally, the A Lumo Fu Half‑God forces pursued the top legendary strongman Black Witch Death Abyss Mentor, who once ignited divine fire; this intelligence had never been disclosed publicly.
"Lord A Lumo Fu chased the target in the deep void for five days and finally killed Black Witch Death Abyss Mentor."
Upon hearing of Black Witch Death Abyss Mentor's death, Ta Ke felt a slight relief.
That Black Witch Death Abyss Mentor, having been struck by Ta Ke's divine‑power scroll, surely bears a grudge against Ta Ke and will surely devise ways to retaliate.
As long as he doesn't die, the one who worries and is afraid is Ta Ke.
Fortunately!
That guy died.
"It's good that he died!"
Ta Ke laughed and sighed.
"Indeed!" Instructor Mo Er Man nodded.
"In one battle two legends died; this is indeed the biggest victory the A Lu Mo Fu Demi-God World side has gained since the God War broke out."
"However, the divine power origin projection of the A Lu Mo Fu Demi-God has been torn apart again."
"Previously, A Lu Mo Fu's origin projection had already been torn apart once; this time it was torn apart again, and the demi-god also suffered heavy injuries."
"It has just been slightly repaired; do not leak this news casually."
Ta Ke nodded.
Such an important matter must indeed not be easily leaked.
"This time your contributions are huge; the reward's generosity need not be said."
"But you also know the situation of the A Lu Mo Fu Demi-God World; the whole A Lu Mo Fu is not very safe."
"Especially those hidden inheritance sites, which are key areas where enemies set ambushes."
"Last time, during the baptism inheritance process, that group of helpless geniuses were sniped by legends, causing heavy losses to A Lu Mo Fu."
"Therefore, those inheritance sites are not easily opened at present."
"After some time, when the situation stabilizes slightly, you can go there to carry out inheritance cultivation."
Ta Ke heard this and nodded.
"What the teacher says is very correct; even if I were allowed to go now, I would still have to weigh it."
"Although I have only recently become a Chao Shen Da Shi, there are still many aspects of my cultivation that need settling, so I am not in a hurry to go to the A Lu Mo Fu Demi-God World to inherit those top resources."
Ta Ke, who was explaining, paused, then asked again.
"Teacher, what is my reward this time approximately?"
Mo Er Man smiled and began to explain.
"The Chaos Angel Armament originally consisted of three pieces, all meant for you to inherit."
"However, the Sun Holy Light Battle Armor conflicts with your Star Crystal Wall Defense, so it cannot be inherited."
"The Sun Heaven War Boots are for short-range teleportation; to you they are completely a redundant ability."
"Your Legendary Ring Staff's shadow phasing, phase walking, and wormhole jumping already give you ample means of movement."
"So there is no need."
"The Sun Light Feather Blade can be fused with your Steam Light Feather Blade ability."
"So, grant you one inheritance of the Sun Light Feather Blade for the Chaos Angel Armament."
"If effective, it could be upgraded to seven-star or even eight-star forbidden spell level."
"By then, your mobility will be maxed out."
Seven-star or even eight-star forbidden spell?
Ta Ke raised his eyebrows, couldn't help but laugh; this really is a piece of good news.
Ta Ke himself possesses a Star Physique, which matches the Steam Light Feather Blade very well.
Being able to raise the Steam Light Feather Blade is indeed excellent news for Ta Ke.
Mo Er Man continued speaking.
"Besides that, there are three baptisms in the Divine Power Reincarnation Pool."
"They are used to raise your level."
"Additionally, there are two teleportation qualifications to the Chaos Ancient Continent Treasure Land."
Listening to the teacher's explanation, Ta Ke nodded slightly.
This reward from the A Lu Mo Fu Demi-God World is indeed quite generous.
In every aspect, the help to Ta Ke is quite good.
More importantly, that legendary Divine Power Reincarnation Pool with extremely high energy level is an excellent place for development.
Once anchored, its effect will be even more exaggerated than the Flame World Tree.
After all!
That is a specialized upgrade site jointly crafted by deities and many legendary powerhouses over thousands of years.
Perhaps Ta Ke could even undergo "rapid development" in there.
The reward of the Divine Power Reincarnation Pool baptism itself is the lowest among the three rewards.
But for Ta Ke, who possesses a system, this reward could be the most effective and practical of the three.
"Before this round of war stabilizes, peacefully cultivate on the Four-Tusk Elephant Realm Ship."
"At the very least, you should cultivate well for seven or eight years, even more than ten years."
"When your strength improves further and you have the ability to protect yourself in large-scale war, going to the A Lu Mo Fu Demi-God World later is still not too late."
Ta Ke, thinking quietly, formulated a certain cultivation development plan for himself.
