“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!
