Dong...
A mighty bell tolled from the central high tower, its sound instantly spreading throughout the domain city. Beneath its peal, countless divine beings surged from their abodes, rapidly converging towards the central high tower.
However, the bell's warning came too late. Those still indoors or resting were engulfed by flames, their essence absorbed into Ye Yun's experience and wealth.
"System prompt: Congratulations to player for defeating an Ordinary European God, gaining 20 trillion experience points, 1 God Stone, 1 Dao Ruler, and reducing the cooldown of skill 'Gilding' by 4000 seconds."
"System prompt: Congratulations to player for defeating 887,340 Ordinary European Gods, 484,952 One-Star Gods, 123,131 Two-Star Gods, 28,604 Three-Star Gods, gaining 21,420,600 trillion experience points, 13,820,000 trillion experience points, 23,123 Battle Power Manifestation Cards, 32,123 Skill Manifestation Cards, 133 Dao Rulers, 21,604 Godhead Shard, 920,000 God Stones, and skill 'Flame Dragon Demonic Body'."
...
"System prompt: Congratulations to player for leveling up, gaining 30,720,000,000,000 free attribute points, current level 48."
"System prompt: Congratulations to player for leveling up, gaining 30,720,000,000,000 free attribute points, current level 49."
Such an immense amount of experience only raised Ye Yun's level by two! The experience required for leveling was outrageous!
The flood of system notifications made Ye Yun's head spin, so he promptly turned them all off. However, the system's prompts reminded Ye Yun that he had obtained many Dao Rulers in Heavenly Immortal City, items that could strengthen his profession!
"Heavenly Dao Great One, I wish to strengthen my profession!"
"System prompt: Player's current profession is 'Origin Spirit'. Profession strengthening failed. Player lacks sufficient Dao Rulers."
Lacks Dao Rulers?! Ye Yun looked at the nearly three hundred Dao Rulers in his inventory, utterly bewildered.
"It must be because my profession is too formidable!" Ye Yun could only console himself. Fortunately, he still had six days left for his current mission. As long as he didn't complete it, he could continue to slay enough divine beings in this God's Domain.
Then, not only could he use the divine skill 'Gilding' to strengthen himself, but he could also rapidly accumulate wealth. Even if his manifestations were reset to 100% again, he could use this wealth to directly purchase attribute points and reach the peak! Just like this time.
This was the true reason why Ye Yun didn't spend all his money on attribute points at once. As long as his strength was sufficient, that was all that mattered.
"Synthesize Godhead!"
Godhead Shards were something he hadn't seen even one of after defeating so many immortal beings in Heavenly Immortal City. He had only obtained one or two occasionally after defeating high-level foes in the New Mortal Continent. Yet here, he had obtained over twenty thousand!
"System prompt: Consuming 21,987 Godhead Shards. Congratulations to player for obtaining 22 Low-Grade Godheads. Detected player already possesses one Low-Grade Godhead. Would you like to strengthen your current Godhead?"
"Strengthen!" These were not like gold coins; keeping them held little meaning.
"System prompt: Congratulations to player for successful Godhead strengthening. Player's Low-Grade Godhead has been upgraded to Mid-Grade Godhead, consuming 10 Low-Grade Godheads. Upgrading from Mid-Grade to High-Grade requires consuming 10 Mid-Grade Godheads or 100 Low-Grade Godheads."
Holy cow!
Ye Yun's entire being felt unwell as he read the subsequent prompt.
The path to upgrading one's Godhead was indeed a long and arduous one! He wondered if the Godhead Shards obtained from slaughtering all the divine beings in the entire Kelo Domain City would be enough to upgrade his Godhead to High-Grade.
Mid-Grade Godhead: Player's all attributes increased by 20%. Game and reality automatically synchronize manifestations.
Ye Yun had initially set the duration for his skill 'Fire Refining the World' to twenty seconds, with a range of ten thousand kilometers. This was more than enough to cover the entire Kelo Domain City!
Ye Yun's experience points surged at a rate of nearly 10% per second. By the time the skill ceased, Ye Yun's level had already reached 50.
One skill had annihilated over 2.5 million divine beings! If it weren't for the warning bell, and if the buildings here weren't consistently a hundred meters tall, the number would have been even more terrifying!
But! It was enough!
Ye Yun gleefully looked at his divine skill, then at his attribute panel, and for a moment, he didn't know which attribute, skill, or equipment to strengthen.
Wait, I just dropped a skill book. Let's check it out first.
"Learn Skill: Flame Dragon Demonic Body!"
"Congratulations to player for learning the secret skill 'Flame Dragon Demonic Body', consuming 1 Low-Grade Godhead."
Hearing the system's prompt, Ye Yun was greatly astonished.
Learning a skill had consumed one of his Low-Grade Godheads?
A Low-Grade Godhead! An item that increased all attributes by 10%. Most importantly, it was a crucial safeguard for breaking through realms in the real world. If this were auctioned, it would be priceless in the Ten Directions Cosmos!
Secret Skill - Flame Dragon Demonic Body: Upon activation, the player transforms their body into flames, forming a demonic dragon form. In this state, all other player skills become unusable, the player is immune to all physical damage, HP regeneration speed increases by 50%, movement speed by 50%, defense by 20%, and gains the dragon's passive skill 'Dragon Might' and active skill 'Dragon Language Forbidden Art'. Duration: 10 minutes. Cooldown: 10 days.
...
Ye Yun found this skill rather speechless. It seemed powerful, but in reality, it was rather useless. A ten-day cooldown, was this a serious design?
Boom...
A colossal blade energy, while Ye Yun was still hesitating, struck him in the back, resulting in a large "miss."
Hiss...
Upon seeing the damage value above Ye Yun's head, all the native divine beings gasped! This blade belonged to Torny, the commander of the Kelo Domain City's Imperial Guard!
How high was this guy's defense?!
Even Torny himself was shocked! Not only because his attack failed to break Ye Yun's defense, but because he recognized Ye Yun's identity with this strike!
"Human?! How can there be a human in our God's Domain!" Torny's eyes widened as he stared at Ye Yun in disbelief.
The God's Domain! It was the supreme realm of their divine race. Even their own demigod descendants had not set foot here. How had this human achieved it?!
Meanwhile, in a distant city, an old woman with a wrinkled face, clad in a loose black robe, suddenly opened her eyes and looked in the direction of Kelo Domain City.
"The human divine city endures and prospers. Has the destined one arrived with the times?" The old woman leaned on a dragon-headed staff, and streaks of white energy rippled across the pristine floor, flowing throughout the palace.
In moments, a group of radiant figures appeared before the old woman. These figures were all robed in white, with pairs of wings folded behind them and halos of white light above their heads.
"Divine Master! You summoned us, is there a command?" One of the slimmest figures stepped forward and bowed respectfully to the old woman.
Divine Master!
The teacher of a Divine King, and one who had nurtured three or more Divine Kings was honored as a 'Divine Master' by the entire God's Domain!
"The sun rises in the east and does not set. The one who collects debts has descended upon our God's Domain!"
This statement caused the expressions of all present to change drastically!
