Chapter 210: Chapter 144: Submerged Land Level Carnival (Part 2)

Seeing that Lu Cang had finally grasped Extreme Battle Intent,

everyone officially called it a day and left the Dungeon.

As for the Dungeon’s final boss, they never fought it...

If they did, the Dungeon would be gone for good.

By not fighting it and letting Lu Cang continuously perform his Sacrifice, it became a reusable monster spawner.

An ability like Lu Cang’s was likely one of a kind in the entire world.

Other Death Priests could certainly perform a Sacrifice as well,

but noble souls were incredibly precious. How many could one possibly obtain? Performing the Sacrifice even once was already considered the limit.

Not like Lu Cang.

If it wasn’t enough, he could just quit and start over.

「Back in the wilderness.」

The sky was already beginning to darken. November days ended early, and it was likely completely dark by 5 PM.

The nights were much colder than the days.

Without proper protection, it was easy to freeze into a popsicle out here.

The death rate was already very high this season.

Even without counting Dungeons, many simply froze to death in the wild.

Lu Cang performed the Sacrifice again...

This time, Lu Cang directly injected two hundred thousand souls.

A vast torrent of souls poured into the passageway.

The light outside the Dungeon visibly grew deeper and more profound.

Chi Cheng clapped Obades on the shoulder.

"Let’s go."

Obades nodded seriously.

He strode through the gate.

Though he didn’t have much of a presence, he was still the bona fide tank at the very front.

As usual, Lu Cang was the last to enter.

When his turn came,

a battle was already raging before his eyes.

SWISH!

Chi Cheng sliced through the vines and leaves that filled the entire sky!

Chi Cheng’s shout echoed from the sky, "Iz! Don’t you dare interfere!"

"Don’t you take my prize again!"

Iz, who had just raised his Magic Staff, lowered it again upon hearing Chi Cheng’s shout.

Iz muttered under his breath, "Fine."

WHOOSH!

An Array faintly lit up, and a roaring inferno that blotted out the sky swept past!

In an instant, it incinerated all the vines and leaves in the air!

Kumironi was beside Lu Cang and Lu Luwei.

Obades stood in front of the three of them.

Kumironi said to Lu Cang, "Obades will keep us safe."

"Just leave the rest to them."

Lu Cang asked, "Doesn’t Obades need to help?"

Gazing at the strange flower that was endlessly sprouting countless vines and leaves, Kumironi replied calmly, "At this level, they don’t need Obades’s help yet."

TING!

Lu Cang saw a flying leaf slash toward him!

He subconsciously raised a hand and blasted out Magic to block it!

However, he watched as his Magic was effortlessly destroyed and broken through.

Even with his newly grasped Extreme Battle Intent, the fusion of Magic and Combat Skill couldn’t withstand the single strike of the sweeping leaf!

’It’s that strong!’

Lu Cang instantly realized the leaf’s power far exceeded his imagination!

’But... my Final Sense didn’t give me any warning!’

Just as Lu Cang’s mind raced, trying to figure out how to dodge or defend against the attack,

DANG!

The flying leaf let out a resonant clang.

It shattered in mid-air!

Obades stood unmoving before them, as steady as Mount Tai.

"I am here,"

he stated calmly.

Those three words were like a calming balm, instantly settling everyone’s nerves.

Lu Cang looked at where the leaf had shattered.

He discovered that they were completely enclosed by an invisible, cube-shaped barrier.

The leaf from just now had struck that very barrier.

And shattered on impact.

’A leaf that could break through so much of my Magic was instantly shattered just by touching this shield...’

’Is its Defense Power just that absurd?’

’As expected, no one on this team is simple.’

Lu Cang felt his heart settle.

He calmed himself and watched Chi Cheng fight.

Iz seemed to be slacking off, just casually tossing a few Fire Magic spells.

He showed no real desire to attack.

Chi Cheng, on the other hand, was charging forward relentlessly. He had already broken through layer after layer of blockades and defenses, and in the blink of an eye, he was right in the giant flower’s face.

SWISH!

A crimson ray of light descended from the sky!

Plummeting toward the earth!

"SPLIT! HEAVEN!"

The enormous demon flower had spread its countless vines and leaves to cover half the sky, but with that explosive roar, it was cleaved down the middle and split in two.

Lu Cang watched the leaves rain down from the sky. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

He blasted out his Magic!

When it struck a leaf, he felt an extremely tenacious feedback.

Fire couldn’t burn it, and sharp points couldn’t pierce it...

And yet, leaves like these...

...Chi Cheng cut through them as easily as if they were sackcloth.

At the same time, it was only by touching the leaf with his Magic that Lu Cang realized his spells probably couldn’t even break the defense of a Submerged Land Level Demon.

At least, not a Tier Six Submerged Land Level Demon.

’I wonder how it would fare against a Tier Five,’ he thought.

"Haha, Iz... See? Since you didn’t cause any trouble this time, I got a huge haul!"

Chi Cheng dragged the long corpse of the giant flower with one hand.

Looking down through Lu Luwei’s Perception, the perspective made it seem as if Chi Cheng were dragging an entire continent behind him as he walked.

’Is he really that strong?’

Lu Cang had always known Chi Cheng was strong, but he never knew the true extent of his power.

’Looking at him now... is he even human?’

Lu Cang made a quick comparison.

’Right now, even if I went all out, I could probably only lift a small, twenty-meter-tall hill.’

’The gap between us... it’s just too wide.’

"There’s still one more."

Lu Luwei’s Perception was focused behind them. Chi Cheng had dispatched the enormous flower-type Demon with incredible speed.

It had taken him about a minute from start to finish.

And there was another one in the area.

This one, however, had formed a grid-like curtain of light between heaven and earth, like a fence.
