Chapter 231: Sunset Ranges, The Titan Empire

Barry the Bloodseeker had run off in fear!

What returned to the Demon Realm together with it was also the divine spirit mark that Meng Lei had left on it.

“I did it!”

Meng Lei could now easily sense the Demon Realm’s presence through the divine spirit mark.

After that, he built a Devil channel and summoned Devils from the Demon Realm based on Dead Souls Magic’s principles.

A Fifth-Grade Imp...

A Seventh-Grade Underworld Ghost...

A Saint Domain-level Great Devil...

He summoned one Devil after another.

Imps, Underworld Ghosts, Little Devils, Great Devils, Ice Devils, Horned Devils, Fire Devils...

Only one outcome awaited these Devils, and that was—to be sent into the Tower of Time.

Like what Dodola had said, Devils were the best source of food for Fallen Angels.

When Little Cola saw the Devils, she reacted like a cat that had just seen a mouse and began to devour them fervently.

All the Little Devils!

All the Underworld Ghosts!

In under a day’s time, Little Cola had devoured almost 100 Devils and Imps. The aura around her was constantly swelling.

“She has such a big appetite!”

As Meng Lei watched Little Cola feed, all that was left in him was deep astoundment. A Devil was a Devil after all—how could normal human children compare to her?

Even so, Meng Lei didn’t wish to starve Little Cola. His divine spirit continued to circle above Hell, catching every Devil that he could catch.

After half a day, the number of Devils that Meng Lei had forcibly summoned had reached as many as 100,000.

It was only at this point that Meng Lei stopped his summoning.

“Master, can you let me study Devil Magic a little, too?” asked Puhaman as he rubbed his hands and gazed at Meng Lei with an expression full of hope, the meaning behind his request self-evident.

Meng Lei agreed to it right away. He built a Devil channel, upon which Puhaman quickly made a mark in the Demon Realm with his divine spirit. Then, he expressed his sincerest gratitude to Meng Lei for his generosity.

A smiling Meng Lei said, “Summon a few more Devils for fun when you’re free. I have use for them.”

“Understood, Master,” Puhaman quickly replied.

“Alright, you may return now.”

“Yes, Master!”

After sending Puhaman back to the Imperial City, Meng Lei gathered the few half-deities.

“Bubbles, Klaus, Seisia, and Nadja are to leave with me.” Meng Lei instructed, “Mervyn, Pursuer, and the Spider Goddess are to remain underground and spread my faith.”

“Yes, Master!”

The six half-deities bowed in acknowledgment.

Although the Spider Goddess was displeased with Meng Lei’s orders, the Gods-Slaying Spear jab earlier had given her a true understanding of just how strong Meng Lei was. Not daring to challenge his authority anymore, she neither spoke up nor rejected the order, indirectly and silently accepting the order.

“I hope my faith can spread throughout the entire underground world in a year’s time.”

Meng Lei cast a glance at Mervyn, Pursuer, and the Spider Goddess and said, “Don’t let me down!”

“We’ll definitely live up to your expectations, Master!”

Mervyn and the Pursuer hastily promised.

“Great!”

Then, Meng Lei brought the other four half-deity subordinates with him and left the underground world.

Before he left, Meng Lei also left behind five divine tree fruits for Little Gold. With these fruits, Little Gold would be able to step into the Saint Domain realm within a short period.

“Master, are we going to the Sunset Ranges next?” asked Bubbles.

Meng Lei nodded slightly and replied, “Klaus, your speed is the fastest among everyone. Bring us there.”

“Yes, Master!”

Klaus transformed into his true form—a mutated Fire Dragon—and then, he flew toward the Sunset Ranges with the others on his back.

As Meng Lei rested on Klaus’ back, boredom came over him, and he decided to contact the system.

“System, carry out 1,000 Limitless Pickups!”

“Ding! Assimilation successful. You have obtained a pair of Lucy the Fairy’s crystal shoes!”

“...”

“Ding! Assimilation successful. You have obtained a Divine Core. Will you assimilate it?”

“Eh?”

With a casual flip of his wrist, a silver divine core appeared on Meng Lei’s palm. Lightning flashed brilliantly and streaked furiously within the divine core—it was actually a thunder-elemental divine core.

“That’s...?”

Upon sensing the divine core’s aura, Bubbles, Nadja, Seisia, and even Klaus underneath them looked over one by one, looks of disbelief coming over their faces.

“A d-divine core!”

“It’s actually a divine core!”

The four half-deities’ breathing turned quick and ragged, the desire in their eyes openly shown. In particular, Seisia the Thunderbolt Queen’s eyes brimmed with greed and longing.

She was a Thunderbolt Naga whose main field of cultivation was thunder-elemental laws of nature, so thunder-elemental divine cores suited her element the best. Were she to assimilate it, she would definitely be able to become a true god!

“Stop staring at it. I can’t give it to you guys for the time being.”

Meng Lei glanced at them, and then, he said, “Don’t bother thinking about these divine cores while I’m still not yet a true god. Even if you do, I’m not going to give them to you!”

“Master, you mean...”

A great shudder went through the four of them!

“Perform well, and you’ll get what you deserve, but don’t hanker after what you don’t!”

Meng Lei took out the other two divine cores and very casually showed them off with a slight smile.

“Divine cores!”

“That’s three divine cores!”

The four half-deities were green with envy. To think there were actually three divine cores on their Master! On top of that, by the sound of what he had said...

“Don’t worry, Master! We swear allegiance and devotion to you unto our dying day. We’ll strive to the utmost with our lives and spare no effort!” The four half-deities hastily made their stances clear.

“I hope so!”

Then, Meng Lei’s attention returned to the system notifications.

“Ding! Assimilation successful. You have obtained Viscount Io’s ring!”

“...”

“Ding! Assimilation successful. You have obtained a Crystallized Divine Spirit Extract!”

“A Crystallized Divine Spirit Extract!”

Meng Lei was overjoyed. “Haha! I’ve actually obtained another Crystallized Divine Spirit Extract! I’m so lucky! With this Crystallized Divine Spirit Extract, these 1,000 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals are simply too well-spent!

“Without any further ado, I’ll just assimilate it first!”

Boom!

A moment later, Meng Lei’s gaze swept over the stats interface, and he couldn’t help but beam.

Just as he had hoped for, his divine spirit had reached pinnacle-grade after he assimilated the Crystallized Divine Spirit Extract.

“With this, together with my pinnacle-grade half-deity body, I’ve finally stepped into the pinnacle-level half-deity realm!”

Highly satisfied with the rewards he’d gotten from the Laws of Nature Origin Crystals, Meng Lei promptly ordered another 1,000 times of Limitless Pickups. However, it seemed like he had expended all his luck this time.

He actually didn’t pick up even a single decent item during the 1,000 attempts.

Meng Lei wasn’t that furious about the outcome, however. This was gambling, after all—only with losses and gains would things be interesting. Where would the fun be if he were to win all the time?

“Another 1,000 times!”

“Ding! Assimilation successful. You have obtained an Ice Field Alligator!”

“...”

“Ding! Assimilation successful. You have obtained a Fusion Laws of Nature Fragment. Will you assimilate it?”

“Yes, assimilate it!”

“Eh? It’s actually a metal-dark-fire fusion laws of nature fragment this time. Not bad, not bad. This round wasn’t a loss!”

Meng Lei quickly looked at his stats interface. True enough, his laws of nature comprehension attribute had indeed changed.

Laws of Nature: Wood-Earth Fusion (100%), Metal-Dark Fusion (100%), Thunder-Ice Fusion (100%), Water-Light Fusion (100%), Metal-Dark-Fire Fusion (0.1%)

“System, how much does it cost to raise my metal-dark-fire laws of nature assimilation rate?”

“Ding! Raising metal-dark-fire laws of nature assimilation rate by 1% costs 100,000 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals,” replied the system coldly.

“If 100,000 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals is required for every 1% raised, then raising it to 100% would mean 10 million Laws of Nature Origin Crystals!”

Meng Lei did a silent calculation. Then, he said, “I guess I’ll just leave it be for now. It’s not too late to boost it after I ransack the Sunset Ranges and Golden Archipelago.”

“...”

“Ding! Assimilation successful. You have obtained the Innate Special Ability ‘Absolute Zero’. Will you assimilate it?”

“Eh? The Innate Special Ability Absolute Zero?”

Meng Lei instructed, “Assimilate it!”

After completing the assimilation process, Meng Lei couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief. Though the Innate Special Ability Absolute Zero was similar to the Divine Technique Absolute Zero, they weren’t completely the same.

First of all, it didn’t expend any power of divinity.

As an Innate Special Ability, usage of the Absolute Zero ability was instinctive to the user, so it didn’t require any expenditure of power of divinity.

It was simpler, more convenient, and quicker!

Next, it was also mightier.

Not only could the Innate Special Ability version of Absolute Zero freeze everything in the world, but it could freeze and even shatter spatial dimensions.

Simply put, the Innate Special Ability version of Absolute Zero was an enhanced and ‘plus’ version of the Divine Technique Absolute Zero.

“This ability is pretty good!”

Meng Lei took to the ability very much. In the past, he’d also frequently used the first-class spell Absolute Zero, but evidently, as he—as well as his opponents—became stronger, the first-class spell version of Absolute Zero could no longer meet his needs.

Additionally, the Divine Technique Absolute Zero also required expenditure of power of divinity and wasn’t worth the loss. As a result, Meng Lei rarely used Absolute Zero now.

But now that he had the Innate Special Ability version of Absolute Zero, he could use it again.

“...”

“Ding! Assimilation successful. You have obtained the Unicorn bloodline. Will you assimilate it?”

“No, don’t assimilate it!”

“Ding! Assimilation successful. You have obtained a Demi-Giant’s mace.”

“Another 1,000 times!”

“...”

“Another 1,000 times!”

“...”

“Ding! Assimilation successful. You have obtained a Divine Core. Will you assimilate it?”

“Another divine core? It’s a wind-elemental one this time! Not bad, not bad! I’m keeping it!”

“Ding! Assimilation successful. You have obtained the Hundred-Armed Giant bloodline! Will you assimilate it?”

“The Hundred-Armed Giant?”

Meng Lei was mildly taken aback. “Is the Hundred-Armed Giant also a Titan? Wait a moment. I’ll have to ask Dodola about it later before I decide whether or not I’d want to assimilate it.”

“...”

“Ding! Assimilation successful. You have obtained a Fusion Laws of Nature Fragment. Will you assimilate it?”

“Yes, assimilate it!

“It’s an earth-wood-thunder one this time, not bad!”

Just like that, Meng Lei did item pickups while he traveled leisurely.

Klaus traveled at a very high speed. In just two hours, they had already arrived at the Sunset Ranges.

Heaven’s Vault Continent’s terrain was high in the west and low in the east. The terrain in the central region’s Magical Beast Ridge and the eastern region’s Dragon God Empire was relatively flat and level. However, by the time they arrived at the Titan Empire in the western region, all that filled the area were plateaus—and these plateaus were the Titan Plateaus.

The Titan Plateaus’ height above sea level was relatively high, and the vegetation simple. As a result, their resources were also comparatively scarcer. This was the first impression Meng Lei received upon entering the Titan Plateaus.

The entire Sunset Ranges was just like a wall that stood in between the Titan Plateaus and the Far Northern Wastelands. Each side presented a different landform.

“Master, we’ve reached Sunset Ranges!”

“We’ve arrived? Let’s head to where the Chimeras are.”

“Yes, Master!”

Half an hour later, the group arrived at the Chimeras’ turf. What they hadn’t expected, however, was that the entire Chimera clan had already been ransacked and emptied.

Every single person in the clan had disappeared. Only the blood all over the ground and signs of fierce battle silently recounted the Chimeras’ encounter.

As for the Chimera Queen and the clan’s financial assets, they were also gone.

“Has someone beat me to it?”

Meng Lei had a rather unpleasant look on his face. He had come all the way here just for the Chimera Queen’s assets.

As a half-deity, the Chimera Queen’s savings must have been pretty substantial. Meng Lei had been waiting for a windfall to befall him, yet it was all gone now?

“Search!”

Meng Lei barked, “I’d like to know who’s so bold as to take my money for themselves!”

“Yes, Master!”

Upon sensing Meng Lei’s rage, the four half-deity subordinates hastily began to search about.

Four half-deities launching a full-on search was naturally no joke. A few minutes later, they’d already come up with something.

“Master, based on the footprints, it’s likely people from the Titan Empire that did it. On top of that, their numbers are pretty big!”

“The Titan Empire? How gutsy of them!”
