To be honest, Ol’ Amos had indeed taken a blow. He whined and grumbled, “Brat, give me a heads-up the next time you break through so that this old man can do some mental preparation. Otherwise, you’re going to give me a heart attack someday.”
“You’re in soul form now, Ol’ President. How would you even get a heart attack? Hehehe,” Meng Lei replied with a laugh.
His eyes couldn’t help but fall on the stats interface, and then, he was dumbstruck.
Host: Meng Lei
Race: Human (Contains Fire Dragon bloodline and Fire Demon bloodline)
Physical Body Constitution: Eighth-Grade Warrior (361,456/1,000,000)
Spirit: Great Ninth-Grade Magician (1,250,162/1,000,000,000)
Magic Power: Great Ninth-Grade Magician (1,031,539/1,000,000,000)
Spiritual Power: 250,000 + 1,000,000 = 1,250,000
Yes, no mistakes there!
Magic Power: 30,000 + 1,000,000 = 1,030,000!
No mistakes there, either!
But what was the deal with the ‘1,000,000,000’ at the back?
One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand... Hundred million!
1 billion!
Meng Lei’s eyes widened big and round at once.
1 billion? A great Ninth-Grade Magician’s stats upper limit is 1 billion? Are you kidding me?!
Meng Lei held his chest, suddenly feeling great pain in his chest area. He had initially thought that by leveraging the advantages that the system brought and killing Magical Beasts without restraint, the day he would attain Saint Domain level was well within sight.
One to two months if the progress was fast, or half a year to a year if it was slow.
But in his instant, he suddenly found the Saint Domain realm so far away from him. It was far, far away, as far as a few galaxies away from him.
He couldn’t see any hope at all!
Having an upper limit of 1 billion for his stats meant that he needed to accumulate 10 billion gold coins before breaking through the limit and attaining Saint Domain level!
“That’s 10 billion! 10 billion, you know! I probably won’t be able to earn that much, even in my entire lifetime!” Meng Lei wanted to cry.
He had scarcely been able to earn a huge windfall through the ant tide this time and take advantage of the opportunity to break through to Great Ninth-Grade Magician. He hadn’t even rejoiced for that long before the harsh reality dealt him a head-on blow.
Why?
Why did I need only 10 million gold coins to break through to ninth-grade, but breaking through to Saint Domain has actually increased by a whole 1,000 times?!
Why the hell is that?!
“What’s the matter, brat? Why are you crying?” Ol’ Amos was rather perplexed when he noticed that Meng Lei’s expression didn’t look right. “Isn’t it just breaking through to Great Ninth-Grade Magician level? Do you need to be that worked up about it? Even this old man wasn’t as ridiculously agitated as you when I broke through to Saint Domain level back then!”
“Me? Agitated? Why the hell would I be agitated?!” Meng Lei couldn’t help but break into a rant. “Do you know how badly I’ve been freaking duped?! I’ve been fired from my job, and my wife has run away, too! Who the hell am I supposed to go to for justification?!”
“(⊙o⊙)”
Ol’ Amos was dumbfounded. “What kind of crazy talk are you saying, brat?”
“I’m not crazy! I’m just petrified by how poor I am!” Meng Lei was on the brink of tears. “I need money! I need a huge sum of money now!”
1 billion?
Where am I going to get that kind of money?
Meng Lei looked up and suddenly glanced at the currently receding ant tide. Without another word, he charged over like a lunatic and arrived right above the ant tide.
“My life is too difficult! Don’t hold it against me!”
Meng Lei raised his arms high. A terrifying might that went through the heavens and deep into the ground emanated from him, and the Fire Elements within a radius of a few kilometers of where he was converged madly toward him.
Boom, boom, boom!
One!
Two!
Three!
...
As innumerable soldiers watched on in astoundment, ten brilliant suns appeared in the sky out of the blue. They were incredibly huge, blinding, and scorching hot. They gave off astonishing heat, causing even the blazing sun hanging high above in the sky to pale in comparison.
“A n-ninth-grade spell!”
“That’s the Ninth-Grade Spell, Heavenly Fire Meteor!”
“Hiss!”
All the soldiers on top of the city walls sucked in a breath of air. Then, they watched powerlessly as the ten blazing suns plummeted from the skies, as though meteors blazing across the night sky, and crashed brutally onto the ground.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Amid the shocking explosions, ten mushroom clouds surged into the sky before converging to form an even bigger mushroom cloud.
Flames blazed furiously on the ground in front of the city, while the entire area within a radius of a few kilometers turned into a sea of fire.
Crackle, crackle!
All the Bloodthirsty Iron-Crystal Ants in the area were burned straight into ashes, not leaving behind even a bit of themselves.
“Nobody can escape today! Eighth-Grade Spell, Toppling Mountains And Quaking Earth!”

After a round of Heavenly Fire Meteor, the area within a radius of a few kilometers turned into a sea of fire, and all the Bloodthirsty Iron-Crystal Ants in the area were reduced to ashes.
“Ding!”
“Ding!”
“Ding!”
Meng Lei’s wealth value jumped furiously. In a short instant, it had already increased dramatically by 10 million gold coins! However, Meng Lei wasn’t satisfied with this. His gaze swept across the ants outside the sea of fire as he continued to cast spells.
“Eighth-Grade Spell, Toppling Mountains And Quaking Earth!”
Boom!
To the east of the sea of fire, the ground suddenly rose into the air. One end of it rose higher while the other end dipped, forming a
