Chapter 416: Looting Riches, Juggernaut-Class Divine Spirit
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
There were a total of ten Chief Gods in the Earth Divine Realm. Thus, there were also ten major godly clans there. Apart from the Nidhogg clan, Meng Lei had yet to “patronize” the other nine clans.
Those nine other clans were Meng Lei’s next targets. As he had fully mastered spatial laws of nature, he could cross countless light years just by teleporting once. Thus, despite how vast and boundless the Earth Divine Realm was, traveling was no issue for Meng Lei at all.
Meng Lei arrived at the Dougherty Fire Phoenix clan half an hour later. He ransacked the Fire Phoenix clan’s treasury first before going on to the Fire Phoenix Chief God’s personal treasury.
His Wealth spiked by 50,000 trillion Divinity Crystals after he ransacked the treasuries. Together with the 70,463 trillion Divinity Crystals that Meng Lei had, his total Wealth value reached an astonishing 120,000 trillion Divinity Crystals, the equivalent of 12 Supreme Divinity Crystals!
Of course, what the Dougherty Fire Phoenix clan’s treasury had the most in abundance weren’t Divinity Crystals but various kinds of precious herbs, medicines, and other treasures instead. These things weren’t of any use to Meng Lei, so they all went to Puhaman and the others instead. He bestowed upon them Crystallized Divine Spirit Extracts, divine weapons, precious herbs, medicines, and various other treasures...
Puhaman and the others made a huge fortune in a split second and became the wealthiest deities in the whole wide universe in just a single leap. These, however, weren’t that impressive because Meng Lei then bestowed Chief God divine cores upon them as well.
Meng Lei had gained a total of 100 Chief God divine cores after he slaughtered the 100 Chief Gods from the ten major Divine Realms. Together with the one that he had previously obtained in the Great Pompeii Desert, that made a grand total of 101 Chief God divine cores.
Chief God divine cores weren’t of any use to the current Meng Lei at all, so he bestowed them to his subordinates. This made Puhaman and the others terribly excited and filled them with so much gratitude that they were close to shedding tears.
“Refine them well! I need you guys to watch over the ten major Divine Realms in the future,” instructed Meng Lei.
“Yes, Master!”
Puhaman and the others hurried back to the Tower of Time and started to refine the Chief God divine cores while Meng Lei went on to visit the other clans—the Helsa Giant Elephant Gods, the Raphael Angel Gods, the Chilled Frost Gods, the Vados Eternal Gods, and the Dawson Titan Gods.
...
A day later, Meng Lei left the Earth Divine Realm.
Apart from gaining vast amounts of riches, Meng Lei had also obtained two important items from his looting this time—a fire-origin divine body and an ice-origin divine body.
The fire-origin divine body was found in the Dougherty Fire Phoenix Chief God’s personal treasury. Meng Lei had discovered the carcass of a Fire Phoenix God that happened to be the owner of a fire-origin divine body when he was there, and he plundered it straightaway.
As for the ice-origin divine body, he had taken it from a Frost God. Like the Fairy Goddess from the Nature Gods, that fellow was a target of high-priority grooming because he had an ice-origin divine body, but unfortunately, he crossed paths with Meng Lei, so his fate was naturally already set in stone.
After plundering the fire-origin divine body and ice-origin divine body in succession, Meng Lei now possessed five types of origin divine bodies. They were respectively the metal-origin divine body, wood-origin divine body, thunder-origin divine body, fire-origin divine body, and ice-origin divine body. Undoubtedly, he was the groundbreaking first to ever achieve such a thing in the vast universe.
After Meng Lei left the Earth Divine Realm, he headed to the Forest Divine Realm, which was the Divine Realm nearest in proximity at that time, and carried out another bout of mad plundering and ransacking. Not only were the Forest Divine Realm’s ten major godly clans’ riches cleanly taken by him, but the ten clans also became history at the same time.
For a moment, Meng Lei’s total Wealth reached an astonishing 1,000,000 trillion Divinity Crystals. This was practically a number unprecedented in history!
Now that he had so much money, he naturally had to spend it. After all, Meng Lei was no miser. He instructed, “System, how many Divinity Crystals does it cost to strengthen my body?”
The system’s voice rang out coldly. “Ding! The host’s body is currently comparable to a Supreme Ancient God’s (Higher Chief God) and will rival that of a Supreme Juggernaut’s after enhancement. Enhancement cost is estimated at 10 Supreme Divinity Crystals. Will you enhance it?”
“10 Supreme Divinity Crystals?”
Meng Lei broke into a frown at once. 10 Supreme Divinity Crystals equated to 100,000 trillion Divinity Crystals. This was a huge sum of money. However, what displeased Meng Lei was that he had only gained 2 Supreme Divinity Crystals when he killed the Space Dominus, so why did he need 10 Supreme Divinity Crystals to enhance his own body?
The cost had increased by a whole five times. What the heck was that supposed to mean?!
“Will you enhance it?”
The system’s voice rang out once more.
“Enhance, my a*s!”
Meng Lei rolled his eyes. “I won’t enhance my body for now. I’ll go straight to enhancing my divine spirit instead.”
Meng Lei had his concerns. It was relatively easy to enhance the body—enhancing bloodlines, assimilating origin divine bodies, and other things like that were all capable of boosting the body.
This wasn’t the case for the divine spirit, however. It was too difficult if he wanted to enhance his divine spirit because he could only do so via the system’s enhancement function.
Moreover, Meng Lei would be able to use supreme laws of nature more easily, more effortlessly, and more fluently after he enhanced his divine spirit.
Therefore, he’d better enhance his divine spirit first.
“Ding! The host’s divine spirit is currently comparable to a Supreme Ancient God’s (Higher Chief God) and will rival that of a Supreme Juggernaut’s after enhancement. Enhancement cost is estimated at 10 Supreme Divinity Crystals.” The system asked coldly, “Will you enhance it?”
“Yes, enhance it!”
Meng Lei waved dismissively.
Boom!
A strong surge of icy aura gushed into his sea of consciousness, pouring straight into his divine spirit flame, causing the golden flame to furiously expand in size.
Boom, boom, boom!
It doubled, tripled, quadrupled...
20 times, 30 times, 40 times...
80 times, 90 times, 100 times...
His divine spirit flame went through a mad increase in size all the way until it became 100 times bigger before it gradually came to a stop. His current divine spirit flame hung suspended in his boundless sea of consciousness like a sun, releasing light and heat as much as it wanted and lighting up his entire sea of consciousness.
This was a visible increase!
Meng Lei could clearly feel the changes in his divine spirit. His thoughts were incredibly quick, his consciousness incredibly active, and his control of supreme laws of nature had become smoother!
Then, he spread his divine cognition into the surroundings...
1 light-year, 2 light-years, 3 light-years...
80 light-year, 90 light-years, 100 light-years...
His divine cognition had already spread 100 light-years into the surroundings, yet Meng Lei felt like he could easily go further. It was clear to him that he could spread it even further.
“Never mind, I’ll stop testing it.”
Meng Lei quickly retracted his divine cognition. Then, he continued to the next Divine Realm, the Tempest Divine Realm.
Two days later, Meng Lei left the Tempest Divine Realm. Apart from a spike in his Wealth, as usual, he also plundered and obtained a new type of origin divine body, the wind-origin divine body.
Next was the Oceanic Divine Realm...
While Meng Lei was making the rounds around the Divine Realms without even a moment’s pause, the three Juggernauts and 43 Chief Gods finally returned to the supreme Celestial Realm.
Upon sniffing the familiar air and taking in the omnipresent Celestial Realm power, be it the three Juggernauts or the 43 Chief Gods, all of them couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.
“I’m back!”
“I’m finally back!”
Despite having left for only two days, both the three Juggernauts and the 43 Chief Gods felt like they had had a close shave with death, and they couldn’t help but feel like they had gotten a second chance at life.
They had personally witnessed the deaths of 90 Chief Gods!
They had seen with their own eyes Meng Lei’s fearsomeness and savagery!
Who wouldn’t be afraid?
Who wouldn’t be shocked and fearful?
Who wouldn’t have lingering fears?
“I’ll take my leave first, everyone,” said the Destruction Dominus before he teleported and left straightaway. The Life Dominus and the Death Dominus exchanged a look before they both let out a sigh and left as well.
They, the four Juggernauts, could be said to have thoroughly embarrassed themselves during their trip to the Earth Divine Realm this time. Not only had they not managed to punish Meng Lei, but he had even killed the Space Dominus while the three other Juggernauts fled with their tails in between their legs. Their dignity and prestige had reached rock bottom, and they had utterly disgraced themselves.
“Dear all, I’m leaving, too.”
“Let’s disperse.”
“Go back and have a good rest!”
“Everyone, let’s keep in contact at all times. If that knave comes to the supreme Celestial Realm, remember to inform all of us right away. We’ll teleport over!”
“Understood!”
“Of course!”
The 43 Chief Gods also left one after another. After experiencing such a calamity, they only wished to return to their dens and have a good rest now. They were simply too tuckered out.
