Meng Lei murmured to himself, “So, this is the Divine Netherworld Phoenix bloodline?”
With just a mere thought, a dancing flame—pitch-black like ink, bewitching, proud, and aloof—immediately appeared on his fingertip.
“The Netherworld Divine Fire!”
With a flick of his fingers, the flame shot out and landed on a large rock.
The large rock reacted like dry firewood to the blazing fire and began to burn right away.
“As expected of the Netherworld Divine Fire that can burn even a higher deity to death! It’s indeed terrifying!”
Meng Lei let out a sigh of marvel before he then looked at his stats interface.
Host: Meng Lei

Power of Divinity: 0.1 Divinity Crystal

“Why is my divine body still remaining at high-grade? How strange, I clearly felt an enhancement in my body!”
Meng Lei was rather puzzled.
“Am I still falling a little short of a pinnacle-level divine body? If it’s just a little...
“System, how much does it cost to raise my Divine Netherworld Phoenix bloodline assimilation rate?”
“Ding! Raising the Divine Netherworld Phoenix bloodline by 1% requires 10 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals,” replied the system coldly.
“As I’ve expected, the pricing is identical to that of the Gods-Slaying Rat bloodline.”
Meng Lei nodded lightly and instructed, “System, raise my Divine Netherworld Phoenix bloodline assimilation rate to 100%!”
Whoosh!
His Wealth instantly shrank by 800 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals. At the same time, the Divine Netherworld Phoenix bloodline assimilation rate also successfully reached 100%!
Meng Lei looked at the stats interface again. This time, it didn’t disappoint—his divine body had reached pinnacle-level like what he’d hoped for. He had taken another big step toward a true god-level body!
“Gods-Slaying Rat bloodline <100%>!
“Divine Netherworld Phoenix bloodline <100%>!
“Like the Gods-Slaying Rat, I’m probably only considered a juvenile Divine Netherworld Phoenix at best now, I guess?
“And this Innate Special Ability called Rise From The Ashes, too. How am I supposed to use it?
“Am I supposed to self-immolate...?”
“Roar! Despicable Bubbles, you’ve enraged the great Baxter!”
A furious dragon roar rang out. “I’m going to corrode you to death with my dragon breath!”
“You cowardly little Black Dragon that only knows to run for your life! Fight me if you dare!”
Bubbles’ voice rang out as well.
“Are those two fellows duking it out?”
Meng Lei exited his state of phoenix transformation, put on a new robe, and left Baxter’s den to see a fierce battle taking place outside.
Boom!
Baxter, the Black Dragon, flapped its wings as it sprayed dragon breath from its jaws, attacking while fleeing about at the same time.
As for Bubbles, he dodged the dragon breath while he chased after Baxter. Although he was taking the great initiative to attack, he was ultimately still a tad too slow.
Forced to chase after Baxter and dodge the dragon breath at the same time, he was so infuriated that he couldn’t help but roar furiously, yet there was nothing he could do about it.
“Bubbles is too slow!”
Meng Lei shook his head. Then, he shouted, “Stop, Bubbles!”
“Master!”
At the sound of his voice, Bubbles stopped in his tracks. He said, “Wait a moment, I must catch that damned Black Dragon and give it a good beating!”
“The day will be over by the time you catch up to it!” Meng Lei said calmly, “Let me do it instead. I can also try out my new ability along the way!”
“Alright!”
Bubbles gave Baxter a livid glare before he indignantly retreated to where Meng Lei was.
“Lowly worm, who are you?”
Baxter, the Black Dragon, didn’t attack recklessly anymore. Instead, its eyes were fixed on Meng Lei.
The brief exchange of blows just now had shown Baxter just how powerful Meng Lei was. Thus, it was currently very wary of him.
“Who I am isn’t important!”
Meng Lei shrugged as he said, “What’s important is that I’ve just ransacked your den and robbed you of all your riches. Aren’t you going in to take a look?”
“What did you say?!”
Baxter was greatly alarmed at his words. It hurriedly flapped its wings and swooped toward the den, roaring furiously as it did.
“Damned human, I’ll never let you off if you dare ransack my den!”
“Never let me off? I’m afraid you won’t have the chance to!”
Meng Lei chuckled. He took the opportunity to instantly flick his fingers while Baxter was swooping toward him, and a lick of pitch-black flames instantly landed on Baxter.
The flames spread rapidly. In just the span of a few breaths, they had spread to cover a large expanse!
“Ahhh!”
Baxter swatted its wings frantically as it cried out, trying to put out the Netherworld Divine Fire. Yet the more it did, the bigger the fire became and the fiercer they blazed!
A few moments later, the Netherworld Divine Fire had spread all over Baxter and was completely enveloping it within!
“Divine Technique: Separate!”
Baxter cast a Divine Technique without any hesitation.
However, the tragic thing was that the moment the Divine Technique landed on itself, it was as though it had doused itself in petrol instead. Not only did it not strip the Netherworld Divine Fire from itself, but it instead blazed even more fiercely!
“Actually using a Divine Technique to expel the Netherworld Divine Fire? The ignorant are fearless, indeed! The Netherworld Divine Fire is an everlasting flame that could burn even the power of divinity!”

“Ahhh!”
A shrill cry resounded throughout the underground as Baxter the Black Dragon struggled madly.
