Chapter 584: 437, The Foundation Data that Defies the Heavens, News that Shakes the World, Human Clan Agitated (3.2K subscriptions and monthly tickets requested)
[Promotion Successful!]
[1-Star Black Divine Ring] evolved into [2-Star Black Divine Ring]
[Change: Defensive power increased by 100,000!]
[Current total defensive power boost: +300,000!]
[Change: Potential significantly increased, the internal space black hole is becoming more like a true black hole, greatly enhancing the swallowing capacity, energy density significantly improved, providing noticeably improved enhancement efficiency, and overall endurance is greatly enhanced.]
[Current total defensive power: 740,000]
"As I expected," Xu Gu was quite satisfied with this outcome as it was within his expectations.
Next, he only needed to promote the power Divine Artifact to 2 stars, and his three-dimensional data would be considered mid to upper tier even among Intermediate Kings.
Don’t be deceived by the constant upgrading; the data might still only reach the Intermediate King level, but his strength had increased by several times.
This was because the enhancement of strength was related to Rule Authority, Divine Skills, Absolute Skills, and equipment characteristics. They could significantly boost the user’s strength based on the foundational data!
This boost could be several times, tenfold, or even dozens of times higher!
This also led to each realm’s gap being like a chasm after becoming a king!
The gap between an Intermediate King and a Lower King was immense and might even surpass the cumulative difference between all realms from Marquise-level to Divine General-level!
The gap between an Upper King and an Intermediate King was even larger.
Normally, an Intermediate King’s strength, with enhancement, falls within the range of 610,000 to 800,000.
Meanwhile, Xu Gu’s three-dimensional data was unenhanced!
The reason he achieved such data at only level 64, not level 100, was entirely due to his divine-level talent and the many Divine Artifacts he possessed.
"Considering the boost from Rule Authority, Divine Skills, Absolute Skills, and Divine Artifact effects, I should now be able to spar with a true Upper King," Xu Gu mused with a slight furrow in his brows.
It wasn’t easy to say for sure. After all, he had never seriously fought a true Upper King.
Previously, he had killed a few Upper Kings, but he always relied on external aids. It was like using a grenade to kill a tiger; it’s hard to clearly determine just how strong the tiger was.
"To be safe, it’s better to wait until the power components are also upgraded to 2-star Divine Artifacts before facing an Upper King."
Xu Gu thought to himself.
He was primarily focused on being cautious and steady.
If he wasn’t confident, he would rely on others, use external aids, or engage in a group fight; he would never take needless risks.
"These foundational data are astonishing."
The Earth Dragon Envoy and other Car Servants and combat attendants, upon learning about Xu Gu’s three-dimensional data, were first shocked and then filled with envy.
It was as if they had heard the most shocking news in the world! No other compares!
Under normal circumstances, after becoming a king, the three-dimensional data of ordinary beings doesn’t increase significantly and generally stays around 500,000.
It’s a simple fact that most kings are already at level 100, their talents are almost all SSS-level, and their equipment hasn’t been updated or upgraded in a long time.
Divine Artifacts are hard to come by!
Having a single Holy Artifact, which is just an SSS-level component, already makes them a prominent king!
Didn’t you see the previous Elf King, the leader of an entire clan, going mad over just an SSS-level component?
They could only improve their strength by enhancing the purity of the Rule Authority.
"I can’t even imagine how strong the master will be when he reaches level 100!"
The Earth Dragon Envoy said enviously, "It feels like by then, he might be able to slaughter True Gods directly!"
"Those pseudo-gods of the Mechanical Sea dare to leave the Sea of Chaos? They’ll be like chopping cabbages!" The Witch Clan Saintess Lin Xuanji was completely captivated by Xu Gu, looking at him with eyes full of admiration.
"Of course! Do you even see who our master is?!" Long Shi also said proudly.
Fa Qing, Li Junqing, Sun Xinglan, Xing He, and other beauties who had long followed Xu Gu merely smiled without speaking.
They were already accustomed to Xu Gu’s heaven-defying nature.
Consider it routine.
Xu Gu didn’t pay much attention to their discussion.
Instead, he focused on the newly promoted Divine Artifact [Human Purgatory].
[Human Purgatory]
[Rank: 1-Star Divine-level]
[Description: A field-class component. Upon use, it can change the environment, filling the surroundings with flames capable of melting Holy Gold, resembling a world of its own, like a human purgatory.]
[Causes extremely terrifying damage to enemies. At the same time, it can provide various enhancements for the user.]
Field components could also enhance combat power to a certain extent.
With only 100 Divine Points needed, given that Divine Points were relatively easy to obtain, promoting it was quite cost-effective.
[Current Divine Points: 210]
"Still short of 280 Divine Points to amplify and enhance the Source of Creation.
"Set off for Thunder God #3 Star."
Xu Gu didn’t linger any longer and immediately headed toward #3 Star.
This Thunder God’s Relics was too tempting and made him eager.
...
Meanwhile, the news of Xu Gu easily sweeping through Thunder God’s Relics #1 Star and #2 Star also began to spread.
Mainly because the strong on #2 Star were more numerous than those on #1 Star, and correspondingly, they transmitted messages faster than the powerful ones on #1 Star.
Not like on #1 Star where the refugees fleeing to #2 Star arrived late and ended up being harvested again after Xu Gu began his slaughter on #2 Star.
This time, even before Xu Gu reached #3 Star, the news had already spread across it.
The powerhouses on #3 Star were generally stronger than those on #2 Star and quickly transmitted the news toward #4 Star and #5 Star.
