Chapter 335: The Death Gods, The Grim Reaper’s Eye

Chapter 335: The Death Gods, The Grim Reaper’s Eye

Meng Lei kept all the double-elemental fusion laws of nature fragments, and the triple- and quad-elemental ones were left in the chest.

Meng Lei picked out the quad-elemental fusion laws of nature fragments first and counted 11 of them of various colors.

These were special as they were assimilated from four different laws of nature, making them extremely valuable.

Meng Lei kept them cautiously for later use when he had the time.

The leftovers were triple-elemental fusion laws of nature fragments with over 300 pieces, which Meng Lei kept too.

Meng Lei carried on with the box openings with chests of demonic crystals, demonic cores...

“Ding! Dropped item discovered. Will you pick it up?” The system’s notification rang abruptly.

“Yes, pick it up!”

“Ding! Pickup successful. You have obtained the Grim Reaper bloodline. Will you assimilate it?”

“Grim Reaper bloodline?”

A dash of shock flashed in Meng Lei’s eyes. Despite their rare numbers, the Grim Reaper was one of the most terrifying races in the universe.

“Assimilate it!”

Meng Lei did not hesitate.

Boom!

Unique gray energy surged into Meng Lei’s body within his limbs and bones, spreading throughout his entire body.

For a while, a gray mist came off Meng Lei’s body as if he had burst into flames. Dodola watched with concern.

“Meng Lei, what’s happening to you?”

“Nothing much, just accidentally awakening some Grim Reaper bloodline. It is part of the process.”

Meng Lei gritted through the intense pain across his body and gave Dodola a smile of reassurance. Although the assimilation process was painful, he could withstand it now at this stage.

“Grim Reaper bloodline?” Dodola gasped. “You awakened another one, and it’s the Grim Reaper bloodline this time? O great God of Time, what kind of freak are you?”

“Hehe!”

Meng Lei curled his lips and grinned.

A thick fog of gray mist spewed out steadily as Meng Lei emitted an aura of death, while his skin turned from yellow to gray.

Ten minutes later, the Grim Reaper bloodline had assimilated while Meng Lei’s skin color had turned gray completely. Other than that, his appearance remained the same.

No, there was one other thing that changed—a vertical-slit gray pupil on Meng Lei’s forehead!

There was nothing else that changed other than that.

“Dodola, so this is how the Death Gods look like?” Meng Lei was surprised.

When he assimilated other bloodlines, he would transform into the appearance of that race like the Gods-Slaying Rat, the Hundred-Armed Giant, the Divine Netherworld Phoenix, the Ancient Tree of Life, the Frost Gods...

The Grim Reaper bloodline was the exception. Other than the skin turning gray and a vertical pupil on the forehead, there were no other transformations, making it unique.

“The Death Gods have no fixed appearance.” Dodola had a complex look on its face. “The biggest feature would be the gray skin and the Grim Reaper’s Eye.”

“The Grim Reaper’s Eye?”

Meng Lei waved his hand as a water mirror appeared before him, reflecting his current look. “This extra thing on my forehead is the Grim Reaper’s Eye? What is the use of this?”

“What use? I must say it’s a huge one!”

Dodola explained, “Normally, whether it’s a deity or a demon, they’re either skilled in physical attacks or divinity attacks.

“The Death Gods, however, other than the two standard types of attack, possess a terrifying offensive ability—the divine spirit attack.

“That’s what the Grim Reaper’s Eye does!”

Dodola sighed as it continued. “The Grim Reaper’s Eye can attack the enemy’s divine spirit directly, and it can kill enemies of the same class in one strike. Plus, it can devour the enemy’s divine spirit to strengthen your own divine spirit without any side effects!”

“Damn! That’s crazy!”

Meng Lei could not help but gasp. Attacking the divine spirit directly, one-shot kill, and the ability to devour divine spirits to strengthen his own divine spirit!

That’s just crazy!

“It’s that insane.” Dodola sighed. “The reason why they’re known as the Death Gods is because of this crazy Grim Reaper’s Eye!”

“Crazy! That’s too insane!”

Meng Lei swept a glance at his stats interface. The assimilation degree of the Grim Reaper bloodline was only 32%. Meng Lei did not hesitate to raise it to 100% immediately.

68 Divinity Crystals were spent.

It was clear that the Grim Reaper bloodline was another powerful True God bloodline, not an Ancient God bloodline!

After that, Meng Lei continued with the loot. There were chests of demons and magical beast carcasses, including Fire Demon’s Heart, Succubus’s Eye, and limbs of powerful magical beasts...

“Ding! Dropped item discovered. Will you pick it up?”

“Yes, pick it up!”

“Ding! Pickup successful. You have obtained the Underworld Ghost bloodline. Will you assimilate it?”

“No, don’t assimilate it.”

“Ding! Pickup successful. You have obtained...”

Meng Lei was not too interested in these carcasses as he sent them into the Tower of Time for the golden little tree’s enjoyment.

After consuming a massive amount of remains that Meng Lei had provided, the golden little tree grew taller by only a small margin. It made Meng Lei rather anxious—how long would it take for this tree to grow into an adult?

I guess there’s no choice but to grow this slowly.

After keeping the chests with the carcasses, there were the chests containing weapons. There were demonic weapons and divine weapons of good quality as the lowest graded ones were at least mid-tier weapons.

“These mid-tier divine weapons and demonic weapons are not useful to me, but I can give them to Ol’ Amos and the rest.”

Meng Lei kept these weapons except for a dozen high-tier divine weapons and demonic weapons, with each of them giving off divinity power (magic power) waves!

“These will be mine!”

...

After another round of looting, Meng Lei was overflowing with wealth. The Ice Demon Prefecture Master’s treasury did not disappoint after all as he made a great fortune.

It was time to spend his newfound fortune as Meng Lei chose to enhance his divine body. Even if he killed the Ice Demon Prefecture Master, Meng Lei knew that his absolute combat strength would only be on par with a normal Great Demon God. How was that acceptable?

Prefecture Masters were usually mid-level Great Demon Gods. How could he fall behind them?

“Ding! The host’s Physical Body Constitution is currently that of a low-level higher deity’s and will rival that of a mid-level higher deity’s after enhancement. Enhancement cost is estimated at 60 million Divinity Crystals,” the system informed coldly.

“Enhance!”

Meng Lei huffed.

I had no money previously, but it’s different now! A mere 60 million Divinity Crystals is still affordable!

Whoosh!

His wealth shrunk by 60 million while Meng Lei could feel that his divine body was strengthened at a skyrocketing speed, as a new round of enhancement had begun.

2 times, 3 times, 4 times...

10 times, 20 times, 30 times...

After the enhancement was complete, Meng Lei could feel that his divine body was stronger by 100 times. Endless power gushed within his body as Meng Lei had never felt such strength before.

“If the Ice Demon Prefecture Master was in front of me, I could absolutely go head to head with it!”

After leaving the ice-elemental half-plane, both of them returned to the Ice Demon Shrine. The Heaven Devouring Python of the Depths was still frozen within the Mysterious Ice of The Depths before Meng Lei released it.

Hiss!

Once the Heaven Devouring Python of the Depths went free, it tried to bite Meng Lei immediately. The Mysterious Ice of The Depths might have immobilized its body, but its divine spirit and consciousness were not as its mind was still active.

During the time that it was frozen, it was not frightened. Instead, it hated Meng Lei to the core as it swore to kill Meng Lei and avenge its master.

“You still dare to attack me?”

Meng Lei let out an icy snort. Then, his palm smacked toward the python.

Boom!

His iron fists hit the snake in the nose as it bent down instantly with a crackling sound.

Meng Lei appeared above the python’s head with a flash and stomped down hard. Its skull turned into a massive pit with a thunderous boom.

Hiss... argh!

The Heaven Devouring Python of the Depths let out a painful cry as blood shot out of every hole of its face. It then dropped dead onto the ground as its brain was blasted into pieces instantly.

Meng Lei waved his arm and summoned a demonic core from the corpse. Using the Grim Reaper’s Eye, the divine spirit of the python was dragged out and devoured.

“Ding! 1 Heaven Devouring Python of the Depths killed. 4.9 million Divinity Crystals gained!”

“You overestimated yourself!”

Meng Lei sneered as he kept the carcass into the Tower of Time for the golden little tree to consume. He had finally understood that there was more value in using Super Enhancement than to upgrade his divine body through devouring life essence.

Although Super Enhancement was costly, it had the best effects without any repercussions, making it much more effective than devouring life essence.

“Dodola, let’s return!”

“Alright!”

The two of them went through the same way they came and returned to the Ice Demon City after a day.

From leaving the city until their return, adding the amount of time they spent at the treasury in the middle, it took them three days.

However, after Meng Lei returned, there were no signs of celebrations in the streets at all.

“Meng Lei, what happened to your birthday feast and celebrations?” Dodola watched the quiet city and tried to hold its laughter. “They completely disregarded you as their new Prefecture Master!”

“Isn’t this what I wanted?” Meng Lei said calmly while he seemed indifferent.

The 25th birthday? He was only using it as an excuse to be mad!

Things had gone in his favor as the dozen of Great Demon Gods did not bother to treat his words seriously.

Host a birthday banquet?

It was clear that they did not think much of it!

“Time to meet up with these audacious Great Demon Gods and see what they have to say.” Meng Lei spoke directly. “Great Demon Gods in Ice Demon City, get the hell out here!”

Boom!

Meng Lei’s voice rang across the entire city and caused a great stir. Demons ran out of their living spaces and saw Meng Lei hovering in the air with fear written all over their faces—they had not fully recovered from the disaster a few days ago yet.

Whoosh!

The dozens of Great Demon Gods responded to Meng Lei’s call actively and reached before him swiftly.

“You’re back, Prefecture Master!”

“Greetings, my Lord Prefecture Master!”

These Great Demon Gods seemed respectful as they presented their formalities.

“It seems that you all have been doing a great job, really great!”

Meng Lei was furious. “To be able to treat my orders like nonsense, how did you all manage to do that?”

“What do you mean, Lord Prefecture Master?”

The Great Demon Gods pretended to be shocked.

“You don’t know? Then let me remind you a bit!”

Meng Lei said coldly, “Three days ago before I left the city, I remember I had instructed something. So why is there nothing going on in the city?”

“You mean... the birthday banquet, my Lord?”

“Oh, you remembered!”

A Great Demon God explained, “Lord Prefecture Master, you should look for the guards on matters like birthday banquets, not us. It’s not part of our job scope!”

“Lord Prefecture Master, Cador Prefecture Master did not have such requests for us when he reigned. We are Great Demon Gods, after all. We aren’t lackeys of the Prefecture Master!”

“Exactly...”

These Great Demon Gods seemed to be respectful, but the disdain and mockery in their eyes were clear and obvious.

You might have defeated Cador to become the new Prefecture Master, but don’t think of ordering us around!

We’re the Great Demon Gods, not your lackeys. Why would we do such lowly work for you?

“Great! Awesome!”

Meng Lei smiled at them cheerfully. “Since all of you have disobeyed my orders, don’t blame me for being mad!”

“Hahaha!”

Upon hearing Meng Lei’s warning, the Great Demon Gods laughed out loud.

“You’re amusing, my Lord!”

“You’re great at making jokes, my Lord!”

“Joking? Who the hell is joking with you? Since all of you did not even give me the slightest respect, your existence isn’t necessary anymore!”

Meng Lei promptly became mad!

In his eyes, these Great Demon Gods were all walking treasuries. How could he let them off?
