Way of the Devil - Chapter 711

Chapter 711: 711

Among all the rank-3 arts, Lu Sheng had organized 99 different types of arts . They were all unique arts that did not depend on the concentration of the elements . He began strengthening them with his Mental Energy .

This was a Sisyphean task, but the benefits it would bring him would also be remarkable .

Art-releasing ranks were not everything in the world . This was the case with Dragon Fire as well .

“Come to think of it… Due to the emergence of our goods in the market, several art materials shops were trying to investigate us…” one of the merchants spoke softly .

“That’s easy . ” Lu Sheng looked at the red bear man who was combing his own hair nearby . “Moz, go and give those shops a warning . ”

The bear man was two meters tall . The hair on his body was as brilliant as flames .

He was Lu Sheng’s most successful test subject . Lu Sheng managed to engrave Dragon Fire’s unleashing pathway into this bear man’s body . At the same time, he used special formation veins to increase this bear man’s resistance to fire .

Hence, a Magic Fighter who truly combined magic and martial arts was produced .

The bear man Moz could bradish a battle axe and a shield while wearing magic-resistant armor . With his body that was enchanted with Dragon Fire, he could even unleash 10 shots of Dragon Fire in an instant .

This was the perfect combination of the spirit-prompting threads and Lu Sheng’s terrifying medical skills .

As long as Moz’s stamina could hold out, he could continuously unleash Dragon Fire . After he was spent, the enchanted engraved formations would absorb the stray fire element from his surroundings on their own . After two days of charging, he would be able to use it again .

“Yes, Master!” The bear man stood up and gave the long hair all over his body a good shake . Then, he stood behind the two merchants .

The power of Civilization Transition enabled him to learn the basic terms quickly . However, his vocabulary was only limited to simple words . As for his combat skills, those were his natural instincts . After his intelligence was improved, all he needed was some basic guidance, and he successfully mastered the combat skills .

“Alright, you’re all dismissed . ” Lu Sheng waved his hand .

The merchants and the bear man left the cave .

Lu Sheng sat by the little river alone, lost in thought .

Ever since he’d come into this world, he had collected many antiques and magic weapons . However, they contained less Mental Energy than he’d expected .

Up until now, he had only gathered tens of thousands of Mental Energy units . The magic weapons and antiques only contained several hundred units each . Some even contained as few as several units .

‘This is too little… If it was a regalia… maybe the Mental Energy content will be much higher…’ Lu Sheng was starting to have some ideas .

‘However, where can I get my hands on some regalia…’ If he had enough Mental Energy, he was sure that he could rank up further .

His last rank-up had consumed more than 9,000,000 units when he achieved the breakthrough to the Void Underworld tier . The Void Underworld tier were divided into more than 10 ranks and three main stages .

Currently, he was at the level where he had just established the reincarnation cycle of his Heart World .

After this, he would have to materialize his heart image and eventually gain the terrifying power to engulf the real world with his heart image like a master .

It was only at that stage that a Void Underworld being would be referred to as a planet-destroying overlord .

With a single strike, an entire planet could be destroyed .

‘If I derive the Qianshen Method further in its current state, it’s highly possible for the Heart World to be converted into an armored weapon, destroying worlds with a world blade . ’

Lu Sheng remembered the huge blade Zhuang Jiu had showed him which cut a planet open . He could not help but feel his emotions fluctuate .

In his current state, the most he could achieve was to destroy all living beings on the surface of a planet . However, he could not destroy an entire planet just yet .

According to his inference, the masters at the peak of the Void Underworld tier could even destroy stars . Then, with the chain explosions of the planets[1 . Remember that the author came up with a cosmic setting different from our normal physics . ], they could even trigger the collapse of a galaxy .

Currently, Lu Sheng had no means of destroying a star .

A star was much greater than ordinary planets . They were not in the same size class .

‘Could this mean that gathering Mental Energy from the human society alone has reached its limits?’ Lu Sheng was hit with a sudden realization .

‘I now have the power to destroy all living beings on the surface of a planet . Just how much Mental Energy will I need to improve purely with Mental Energy? If I want to absorb Mental Energy from the society of the living beings on the planet… how long would it take?’

He stood up, feeling slightly agitated .

‘Looks like I have no choice but to get it from the gods… or maybe the ancient beast tribes…’

He suddenly realized that his rank was way too high . He was beyond the help of Mental Energy gathered over decades or centuries .

Unless it was a power collected from an entire civilization or from all the living beings on a planet, it would not be of much help to him .

‘Looks like I’ve been limiting myself all this while…’ Lu Sheng was hit with a sudden realization .

“Difanla,” he called out softly .

“My Lord!” A lanky grayish-brown figure slowly walked out from among the shadows .

This was a lizardman with a lizard’s head and a human body .

This was also one of the greatest fruits of Lu Sheng’s efforts throughout the years . He had modified an entire lizardman village into magical creatures .

Before this, the success rates of creating magical creatures was very low due to genetic mutations, organ rejections, inability to withstand the corrosion of magic power, and other reasons .

However, Lu Sheng had spirit-prompting threads and the support of his unbelievably immense spirit . In terms of precision, he far surpassed most of the Sorcerers in this world . On top of that, he had the help from Deep Blue’s derivations . He easily raised the success rate to the point where it neared 90% .

Currently, these 100 lizardmen experts were Lu Sheng’s most loyal guards .

“Pass on my order . From this moment on, bring every Lizard Tribesmen in the area to me, and I shall grant them new life!” Lu Sheng said in a deep voice .

The lizard man was overjoyed, and he started shouting, “Thank you, My Lord! Thank you, Master!”

Lu Sheng liked these lizardmen very much . Perhaps it was because he was a dragon this time, but these lizardmen had a deep sense of respect for him . After they were modified and put under the spirit-prompting threads’ control, the Lizard Tribe became extremely loyal to the point of throwing away their lives for him .

‘No wonder the other Dragon Tribes prefer to have vassals consisting of lizardmen and dog-headed men . It’s not without reason,’ Lu Sheng mused .

The lizardman obeyed his order and swiftly left the cave . Lu Sheng intended to take this moment to rest when a bright purple light shone beside him .

“Hmm? Intruders?” He turned to look at the cave wall . It was an alarm talisman for the traps he’d set outside the cave .

His voice barely faded when a series of purplish lights erupted on the walls .

“What speed!” Lu Sheng started . He knew very well just how powerful the arcane art traps he’d laid down were . If the intruder was capable of charging through them at this speed, it was clear that the intruder was extremely powerful .

Suddenly, the right wall of the cave burst open . Sand and rubble shot into the cave and scattered all over the floor .

A tunnel had been cracked open in the wall . It was just enough for a human to pass through . A girl with golden curls in silver armor who carried a huge blood-colored sword walked into the cave slowly .

Two elven Sorcerers in sorcerer robes followed behind her .

“Oh? Not bad . At your age, it’s quite a commendable feat to be able to set up that many arcane art traps,” the girl spoke in her ice-cold voice as she fixed her gaze on Lu Sheng .

“Flower Ring?” Lu Sheng instantly recognized the Flower Ring marks the three of them wore .

“It’s good that you understand this . Alright, little fella, surrender yourself nicely, and you won’t feel much pain . ” The girl wore a faint sneer .

“Surrender?” Lu Sheng suddenly raised his arm . Glaring golden flames erupted from his hand .

The flames shot out like a water blast as it rolled toward the girl, seemingly without end . At the same time, he opened his mouth and shot out hundreds of tightly packed lightning balls toward her .

The lightning balls began small, but they swiftly enlarged after they emerged .

In an instant, the interior of the cave turned into a world of fire and lightning .

“This is great! Looks like we’ve come to the right place!” The girl looked excited now . The flames and lightning balls which flew all over the place reminded her of the time when she rushed headlong toward the enemy’s Sorcerer troops on the battlefield .

She dragged her huge sword behind herself and charged forward . She leapt nimbly between the lightning balls and managed to steer clear of every single one of them .

The flames that shot toward her were also easily cleaved in two with a swing of her sword .

The goldilocks shone with faint purplish radiance . The silver armor she wore was covered in flowing black symbols which protected her from the high temperature and electricity in her surroundings .

In less than a second, she had avoided the lightning and flames and was now upon Lu Sheng . She brought her sword down heavily .

Lu Sheng looked up at the incoming blade and slowly struck a strange-looking pose .

“Looks like I’ll have to fight you myself…”

“Hm?” A look of puzzlement flashed past the girl’s eyes . She barely had the time to think when her eyes widened .

The young dragon before her shot up and spun its right leg . With lightning speed, it slipped past the opening under her blade and landed a firm kick on her belly .

The entire ground shook as a whitish-gray ring erupted in the air .

The goldilocks’ body hung in the air for an instant before she reeled and crashed into the cave wall with a loud boom .

Rocks shattered and the dragon cave’s wall was immediately penetrated, exposing the mountain rocks behind it .

The girl penetrated the rock bed as well . A black pit of unfathomable depth was created .

“You were good . ” Lu Sheng swayed his tail as he walked toward the girl on two legs . “It’s been many years since someone forced me to use my actual strength…”

He had a faint look of admiration on his face .

“What do you say? Would you like to follow me? I can give you greater power . ” Lu Sheng’s gaze pierced through the darkness and dust . He looked straight at the goldilocks who was currently covered in blood .

“Heh… Hehe… I’m… not beat yet!” The girl managed to push herself up . She panted heavily .

“I didn’t expect you to be able to stand after a hit from my Instant Destruction Fist Technique . ” The admiration in Lu Sheng’s eyes grew denser .

“Who… Who are you!?” The goldilocks glared at Lu Sheng with a mixture of anger and shock . She did not believe that a mere young dragon would possess such powerful strength .

“Me?” Lu Sheng stopped in his tracks . “A long time ago, they called me the Devil Shadow . Fist Emperor, Devil Shadow . ”

The goldilocks was shaken . There was no such title in this world, but the mere sound of it made her understood the domineering properties and killing intent behind it .
