Was there a need to leave the emperor and the empire’s higher management alive?
The answer was clear and definite—of course not!
“Now that even the emperor is dead, surely the Dragon Island’s half-deities will be infuriated? It’s best if all of them come over! If I can kill them all, I’ll be able to bring the empire under control with peace of mind.”
Meng Lei made his way over to the Dragon God Tower while he thought about all that. He wanted to continue earning money in the Dragon God Tower.
The Dragon God Academy was as quiet, peaceful, and harmonious as always. Students were doing whatever they should be doing, completely unaware that the empire’s higher management had all been slaughtered. Neither did they know that an unprecedented storm was about to sweep through the entire empire!
“Enjoy the last moments of peace quietly, children!”
Upon reaching the Dragon God Tower, Meng Lei strode forward and entered. In no time, he arrived at the 41st level.
The Saint Domain Magical Beast on the 41st level was the Heavenly Blade Bug and was roughly a mid-level Saint Domain. Meng Lei casually killed it, and then, he continued to head up.
The 42nd level, 43rd level, 44th level...
The 52nd level, 53rd level, 54th level...
The 62nd level, 63rd level, 64th level...
A half-deity’s strength was not to be resisted. Meng Lei advanced with a crushing force. It didn’t take long before he surpassed the top-ranking Timon Barton and arrived at the 79th floor.
At the same time, his ranking on the Dragon God Genius Ranking also rose to first place, triggering a huge commotion!

“Top in history!”
“Meng Lei has actually become number one in history!”
“He’s too impressive!”
“He’s actually successfully surpassed Timon Barton from 10,000 years ago to become the number one in history!”
“To think there’s actually a genius like that among the humans!”
“Incredible!”
In front of the Dragon God Tower, looks of astoundment appeared in students’ eyes as they gazed upon the name that had successfully reached the summit.
“No. 1: Meng Lei, Human, 16 years old, Level 79”
“Level 79 at 16-years-old! I really don’t know how he managed to do that!?”
“Yeah! How did he do that?”
“From Dragon God Tower’s 30th level onward, one has to be at least a Saint Domain if they wish to ascend further; from the 60th level onward, it’s almost impossible to proceed if they don’t have at least the strength of a high-level Saint Domain. At the 70th level, they have to be at least a pinnacle-level Saint Domain!”
“A 16-year-old pinnacle-level Saint Domain?”
“Is he a monster...”
They were astounded and perplexed. They couldn’t imagine how it had happened at all.
However, what happened next let them know that... This was just an appetizer!
Five minutes later, he reached the 80th level;
Ten minutes later, he reached the 81st level;
Fifteen minutes later, he reached the 82nd level;
And then, the 83rd level, 84th level...
Meng Lei advanced the whole way with a crushing force without even a moment’s rest until he successfully arrived at the 91st level.
By this point, the students in front of the Dragon God Tower had already become totally numb to his exploits. Only one thought remained in their minds—could he pass the trial?
...
Dragon God Tower, 91st level—this was a scorching hot world.
Ten suns hung suspended in the sky, willfully giving off light and heat. The lands were desolate and barren. There was no grass, no trees, no rivers; the only things there were boiling hot rocks and the crimson red ground.
Meng Lei stepped onto it, only to hear sizzling sounds coming from his feet—his shoes’ soles had been melted. The ground’s surface temperature was astonishingly high.
“Are there only Fire Elements here? Only fire-elemental laws of nature exist here?”
Meng Lei searched for the magic circle leading to the next level as he walked on the wide, scorching-hot land.
Screeech!
Suddenly, a crisp and clear cry traveled over from the sky. Then, innumerable fireballs descended from above.
Meng Lei looked up to see one of the suns spitting fireballs like a machine gun.
Fireballs came from above and crashed into the ground, causing booming explosions as they did.
At the sight of this, a smile immediately appeared on Meng Lei’s countenance, and he flew toward the sun hanging in the sky.
As for the huge fireballs constantly shooting down, he was able to easily evade them. They couldn’t get him at all.
Before long, Meng Lei arrived in front of the sun. The so-called 'sun” wasn’t actually a real sun, but a gigantic bird whose body blazed throughout with flames and whose wingspan was more than 100-meters-wide.
“A Sunbird!”
Meng Lei was filled with marvel at once.
Sunbirds were fire-elemental Saint Domain Magical Beasts. Their prowess in the way of flames far exceeded that of ordinary fire-elemental Magical Beasts; hence they were known as the Holy Beasts of Flames.
Each of these ten Sunbirds in front of him was like pinnacle-level Saint Domain Magical Beasts, perhaps even limits-level ones.
In particular, the combat power they could exhibit in an environment like the 91st level’s firmly surpassed that of the ten Golden Colossal Dragons that Meng Lei had killed.
It was just a shame that it was still useless against him.
“Go!”
The Gods-Slaying Spear shot out.
Splurt!
Splurt!
Splurt!
Amid shrill cries, all ten Sunbirds unsurprisingly perished. Before a half-deity like Meng Lei, they didn’t even have the chance to put up any resistance!
As the ten Sunbirds plummeted onto the ground, a magic circle also appeared in the middle of the sky.
“Ding! Dropped item detected. Will you pick it up?”
“Ding! Dropped item detected. Will you pick it up?”
“Ding! Dropped item detected. Will you pick it up?”
“Yes, pick them up!”
“Ding! Assimilation
