Devouring the Starry Sky: You will become stronger through practice

The ancient country of Yanfeng, the imperial capital.

The name of the Great Sage of the Abyss was widely known in the Continent of Origin, so naturally many people wanted to visit and get to know Luo Shen. Among them, there were naturally some who wanted to become his disciples, like Di Chuyu's eldest son. But before the other party proposed, Luo Shen said that he was still in the stage of rapid progress and was too busy to do anything else, so he asked Di Chuyu to help receive the visiting guests.

With this excuse, Luo Shen naturally no longer needed to receive people one by one and could concentrate on his cultivation.

There is no need to find excuses to reject the other party's request to become your disciple.

At the end of the banquet, Di Chuyu assured Luo Shen that the merit points reward for the next mission would definitely be much higher than the previous position of Chucheng Inspector, but correspondingly, the difficulty of the mission would also be much higher, and there might even be a mission that had been pending for a long time and no one had completed it.

Luo Shen had no objection to this at all. He would have plenty of time to practice in seclusion for a period of time and complete the final practice of the smelting method.

Luo Shen’s cave, in the inheritance space of the tomb ship.

At this moment, Luo Shen was immersed in the celestial adventure in the space of the Ladder to Heaven. After a long time, he had reached the 4500th step. He only had steps left to complete half of the ten thousand steps of the Ladder to Heaven.

However, as he progressed up the ladder, the life energy that emerged from each level was so powerful that even with Luo Shen's divine body strength, the transformation through the smelting method would take a considerable amount of time. Therefore, Luo Shen no longer took several stairs each time he progressed, but climbed up one step at a time.

"call!"

Luo Shen took a deep breath.

Once again transforming the life energy contained in one step into the energy needed for smelting, Luo Shen clearly felt that the strength of his divine body was increasing little by little, and had reached a certain critical point. Perhaps it only needed to be improved a little bit more to be able to step into a higher level.

"Unfortunately, although the strength of the divine body is stronger than that of the ordinary first-level and second-level divine kings, the spiritual vitality of the life essence is still a little worse."

This is the result of delving into spirituality and studying the particles that make up Chu Yuanhou's divine power.

But this kind of thing cannot be rushed. After all, a super genius like Chu Yuanhou, who combines the royal blood of two ancient countries, is not inferior to Luo Shen's super perfect divine body in some aspects, and is even better. Moreover, although the opponent's vitality is high, he is far inferior to Luo Shen in terms of strength.

"There are pros and cons. If I can ascend to heaven in one step, then what is the point of my hard training?"

Thinking of this, Luo Shen took another step forward. After withstanding the thunder and strong wind that were counterattacking from the step, he tried hard to absorb the life energy again. The surging life energy in his body made Luo Shen seem as if he was immersed in a world of green light.

In a world where no one disturbs him, Luo Shen's cultivation life is very monotonous.

Take one step at a time and strive to move forward.

I don't know how much time has passed. As Luo Shen took a step forward, it was as if thunder exploded in his mind. Endless yin and yang particles collided, combined, and split, and then collided, combined, and split again, constantly evolving. In just a short moment, it seemed as if tens of millions of eons had passed in Luo Shen's mind.

By the time Luo Shen recovered, his smelting method had already reached the eighth level!
And Luo Shen's divine body also completed a new transformation!

The body of the God King!

When he reached the seventh level of the smelting method, although Luo Shen's divine body had already achieved the level of God King, he only barely reached the level of God King. Although he possessed the combat power of God King level, it was only similar to the combat power of the Chaos Lord's transcendent level, which was comparable to the first level of God King.

But it's different now.

The smelting method has entered the eighth level. The spiritual way that Luo Shen had studied before, the flash of inspiration that burst out in his mind before, and the more complete combination of yin and yang particles have given Luo Shen's divine body more possibilities for evolution. Moreover, relying on his physical strength alone, Luo Shen dares to fight against a strong man of the fourth level of the Divine King!
Dongfuzhong.

Di Chuyu and Luo Shen sat opposite each other, sipping tea. Di Chuyu picked up a cup of tea, drank it all in one gulp, looked at Luo Shen with a smile and said, "I thought you would be in seclusion for a hundred or eighty centuries, but who would have thought that you would come out in just over ten centuries."

"But there was a breakthrough?"

Di Chuyu's eyes were full of anticipation.

Although the protection period of thirty centuries has passed, as a newly promoted first-class marquis, he should have been targeted in both open and covert ways. However, because Luo Shen's previous performance in Chu City was so amazing, all the first-class marquises, including Di Chuxiong, did not make any move. It was just like this, you had a king-level mission, and I had a king-level mission, and no one dared to act rashly, and they kept to themselves.

Of course Di Chuyu knew that all this originated from Luo Shen.

So for him, the stronger Luo Shen is, the more confident he will be.

As for what he had said before about the inheritance, he no longer expected Luo Shen to help him. As long as Luo Shen was there, other first-class marquises would not dare to act rashly, and he would have a better chance of winning.

Moreover, ever since Luo Shen showed his strength, many Chaos Overlords at the peak level have begun to look for him, the newly promoted and inconspicuous First-Class Marquis. Their purpose is of course to have a chance to come into contact with Luo Shen.

"Something gained."

Luo Shen did not hide his intention to improve his strength.

After all, he and Di Chuyu are now in the same boat. Letting the other party know his strength will make him more inclined to him and not do stupid things. It will also give the other party more room to choose tasks for him.

"really!"

Di Chuyu's eyes lit up, and he immediately smiled and said, "That's perfect. I have collected a lot of difficult tasks with high merits during this period. With your own strength, it is easy to complete them. Now that your strength has been improved, you will definitely be able to complete them easily!"

As he spoke, Di Chuyu sent a lot of detailed information about the mission.

Luo Shen nodded.

After coming out of seclusion, he specially summoned Di Chuyu, and the purpose was naturally for this merit point mission.

With his status as a guest official, the tasks he could see were ultimately limited. After all, he was not yet a "member" of the Yanfeng Ancient Country. Compared to the first-class marquis Di Chuyu, who was one of their own, his authority was still lower.

Luo Shen casually flipped through the task content.

The first thing I saw was a one-hit-kill mission, and the target was a Chaos Overlord at the peak level.

"Kill the Marquis of Zhenfeng!"

This marquis was the marquis of Chaos State in the territory of the Ancient Kingdom of Thunder. Like Di Chuyu, he had traveled throughout the entire Origin Continent. Due to his personal preferences, he had sealed off a large number of creatures, causing them to die in the sealed world for no reason, even including several royal families of the Ancient Kingdom of Flame Wind.

The royal family members who can be released from the small universe by the Emperor are naturally powerful people above the level of Eternal True God, and they are all highly valued.

Upon learning of the deaths of these royal family members, the Ancient Kingdom of Yanfeng sent guest officials to hunt them down. However, the strength of this Marquis Zhenfeng was truly extraordinary. Not only did he have the record of resisting the combined attack of three Chaos Lords at the peak of their powers, he also eventually escaped to the Ancient Kingdom of Lei Ting and eventually became the Marquis of a Chaos State.

After becoming the Marquis of the Thunder Ancient Country, the guest officials of the Flame Wind Ancient Country naturally did not dare to take action. After all, it would be easier to kill an ordinary Chaos Lord at the peak of his power than to kill a Marquis who held a high status in the Thunder Ancient Country.

More importantly, the other party has been in the territory of the Thunder Ancient Country. If they are not careful, they may even be surrounded and killed by the strong men of the Thunder Ancient Country. For such a small amount of merit points, they don't want to sacrifice their lives.

Therefore, more than three hundred centuries have passed since this task was posted, and still no one has completed it. The Marquis Zhenfeng is still living a carefree life, and no one can punish him.

For this task alone, the ancient country of Yanfeng gave 500,000 merit points!
This merit value is not low, it is enough to exchange half of the merit value of a volume of Hunyuan-level inheritance. Even if it is exchanged for Hunyuan materials, it can be exchanged for several items.

But its mission requirements are not low.

The enemy must be killed completely, that is, the enemy must disappear from the Origin Continent and no longer exist.

Whether the target is reincarnated is extremely difficult to judge, just like Zuo Shanke, who was reincarnated as Zuo Shanjin. No one could tell except himself. The secret art of reincarnation is too common on the Origin Continent.

and--

"The data shows that this Zhenfeng Marquis has a very high talent in Zhenfeng, and he has resisted a strong man who is also at the peak level of Chaos Overlord and is good at mental attacks, so his will must have entered the God King level."

In terms of strength, Luo Shen is far superior to his opponent.

Moreover, even if the opponent's will can reach the God King level, Luo Shen's Yuanshu can still suppress the opponent.

But just relying on this, if you want to completely kill the opponent, or even eliminate the opponent's cause and effect, it is obviously still lacking. After all, he is at the peak of the Chaos Realm, has practiced for endless years, and his mind and will have been honed to be very powerful, and he can even create his own secret willpower techniques.

It is extremely difficult to kill.

Otherwise, this marquis would not have been able to live so freely on the Origin Continent for so long without anyone being able to punish him.

"The reward for this mission is quite good, but I haven't figured out how to deal with the opponent yet."

Luo Shen then looked at other tasks.

In fact, many of the tasks in the task list given by Di Chuyu were rewards for Chaos Lord-level warriors, and they had not been completed for a long time.

On the one hand, it was because the emperors disdained to deal with ordinary Chaos Lords. After all, most of these Chaos Lords only killed a few royal family members at the level of Eternal True Gods, or stole rare treasures like the mission that Luo Shen had carried out before. These were all trivial matters and the emperors were too lazy to pay attention to them.

On the other hand, many gods are unwilling to take action.

why?

Having reached the peak level of Chaos Overlord, the ability to preserve one's life is already quite terrifying. Although the God King can easily kill a peak Chaos Overlord, as long as the opponent has a trace of consciousness remaining clear, he can use the secret technique of reincarnation to be reborn.

If you fail to kill the snake, you will suffer from it!

This is equivalent to creating a hidden enemy for yourself. If the other party reincarnates and becomes stronger in the future, he may be able to deal a fatal blow to them at some point!

More importantly, although the God King himself is not afraid, his relatives and friends are afraid!

For such a small reward of merit points, he sacrificed his relatives and friends? Which God King would be willing to do such a loss-making business, so there were not many people willing to take on the task of killing the Chaos Overlord.

Thinking of this, Luo Shen recalled the oath he had made to his soul to kill several rulers of the Food Kingdom.

Dealing with the Lord of Chaos is already so difficult, so dealing with the God King, and wanting to kill the God King completely, is much more difficult than Luo Shen's current breakthrough to become a God King.

The Luo Shen today is no longer the same person who knew nothing about the King of Food Kingdom.

After becoming a guest official, he has obtained a large amount of detailed intelligence about the entire Origin Continent, including but not limited to the specific information about those famous Chaos Lords and God Kings.

The Kingdom of Food, as one of the vassal states of the ancient Kingdom of Yanfeng, its ruler, "Lord Tiankun", is a Divine King at the third level.

Because he took refuge with a certain God King and became a guest official of the ancient country of Yanfeng, he also cultivated a powerful inheritance and became extremely powerful. There were not many people stronger than him on the Origin Continent, and his ability to preserve his life was enhanced to an exaggerated level.

It can be said that even if the emperor takes action personally, he cannot guarantee that he can completely kill the opponent.

You know, on the Continent of Origin, there are still many ancient God Kings who have committed heinous crimes. Even though they have managed to survive in the cracks between the two ancient countries, they have still survived to this day. You can imagine the life-preserving abilities of these ancient God Kings.

"The stronger and more ancient one is, the more mysterious and unpredictable one's ability to save life is. If I want to destroy the Food Country and make the several God Kings of the Food Country unable to even reincarnate, the power required is too high. Even if I become a God King, I dare not say such a big thing."

Luo Shen sighed and said, "It seems that the task of wiping out the Food Nation is still a long and arduous journey!"

He shook his head, as if trying to get rid of these troubles.

In addition to the killing missions with high merit values, there are also some more difficult missions, which are basically related to ancient countries.

For example, one of the tasks is to seize the treasure "Intoxicating Liquid"!
This intoxicating treasure liquid is located in a secret realm on the border between the ancient countries of Yanfeng and Leiting. In this secret realm, there is a treasure land called Zuixin Valley. Every once in a while, a liquid called 'Intoxicating Treasure Liquid' will overflow from this Zuixin Valley.

But this area had long been occupied by people sent by the Ancient Thunder Country, and a powerful formation had been set up there. The strong men in charge of guarding it were all super strong men who were at a level beyond that of the Chaos Lord.

It is so difficult to obtain the intoxicating liquid.

It is precisely because of this that the ancient country of Yanfeng gives extremely high rewards for this intoxicating treasure liquid. Every drop of intoxicating treasure liquid handed over can get a reward of 10,000 merit points from the ancient country of Yanfeng, and there is no upper limit.

As long as you dare to hand it over, they will dare to take it.

This intoxicating elixir is just one of the easier tasks to complete. There are also some even more precious treasures from heaven and earth. Not to mention the current Luo Shen, even if he breaks through to the God King level, he dare not say that he can complete it with confidence.

"The Flame Wind Ancient Country and the Thunder Ancient Country occupy the most prosperous areas of the Origin Continent. They have monopolized many rare treasures of the world. It's no wonder that the strong men in the marginal areas are trying their best to join the ancient countries."

Luo Shen shook his head.

"These tasks are mainly divided into three categories, namely bounty tasks, garrison tasks and treasure hunting tasks."

"The garrison mission is similar to the previous garrison mission of Chu City. It takes a long time and has few merit points, but it is safe. Bounty missions almost always require a complete kill. If you can't completely kill the enemy, not to mention there is no reward, the threat of the enemy's reincarnation alone is a headache."

"The remaining treasure hunting missions may seem wonderful, but they are extremely dangerous. Even the God King may perish." (End of this chapter)
