Chapter 173: Chapter 161: Is It Possible I’m an Expert Too?

"Holy shit, what is this?!"

Ji Liangren’s eyes lit up.

He saw the [Mirror-Breaking Pill]’s Attribute Information and exclaimed, "Boss, where did you get this treasure!"

"Never mind that. Just tell me if you want this opportunity or not!"

"I do! Of course I do! I’ll swallow it and see what happens!"

Afraid Wang Yi would take back his offer, Ji Liangren snatched the Mirror-Breaking Pill. He swallowed the fist-sized pill in a single gulp, and his body immediately began to glow with golden light.

"I’m becoming a god!"

Ji Liangren exclaimed in excitement. He immediately received a system notification: his Fighting Power had reached Seventh Rank, then Eighth Rank, then Ninth Rank!

Acquired Divine Power!

Then, his Divine Power continued to break through, reaching First Rank, Second Rank, Third Rank...

In the short span of five or six breaths, Ji Liangren broke through eight consecutive times, reaching the Fifth Rank of Divine Power!

"I have become a god—the Dogman God, the Dog-headed God! Hahaha!"

Ji Liangren couldn’t help but laugh heartily. He immediately began testing his new abilities. First was Transformation. By using his Divine Power, he no longer turned into a harmless mutt, but a Divine Dog.

POOF! Ji Liangren transformed into a large, athletic black dog with a glossy coat, ears pricked high, and pupils that shone with a golden light. A glow streamed from his four paws as his body slowly began to float, as if he had gained the ability to fly.

Wang Yi glanced at him and nodded. "Xiaotian has returned to his post!"

"WOOF!"

Ji Liangren let out a great roar and lunged forward as if to bite. Using his Divine Power, he activated the [Dog-headed God’s Bite] skill. A phantom dog head the size of a massive elephant shot out from his body, covering twenty or thirty meters in the blink of an eye before chomping down on the empty air.

CRACK! The closing of its jaws sounded like a clap of thunder.

"I am now invincible!"

Ji Liangren’s voice was deep and resonant. He could speak even in his Divine Dog form.

"Good, good, good!" Wang Yi said. "Invincible on Earth, perhaps, but there are still enemies in the heavens. I will lead you to battle above the nine skies! The fight is coming soon. Conserve your strength and await my summons!"

Ji Liangren suddenly added, "Boss, my divinity has a ceiling. The Dog-headed God is a subordinate deity of the Giant Dragon God. Can you help me break through that limit?"

"Aren’t you a subordinate god to Yang Jian?"

"Oh, come on, Boss! Mine is one of the Magical Professions, not one of our Chinese Mythical Professions! And I’m not a person, I’m a dog—ptooey! I’m not a dog, I’m a person! A Kobold is a person! You’re the Monkey King! I’m your follower now. You can’t let some Western Giant Dragon God keep me down, can you?"

"That depends on your performance. Do well, and in the future, I can certainly help you defy the heavens and change your fate!"

Wang Yi waved his hand and headed for the Galaxy Airship.

Cleaning out the supplies in the ruins could be left to Wang Bushi, Fish-Transformed Dragon, Hai Zhongxian, and the others. He needed to find mountains and great rivers.

Wang Yi had already finished absorbing all 128 of the Enhance +7 Low-Level Chaos Crystal Stones. His Chaos Energy now exceeded 32.8 million!

Using the Tier Seven Divinity Split Ultimate Technique once consumed 10 million Chaos Ability, meaning Wang Yi could now use it three times! 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

He thought he could go perform Refinement on some more mountains and rivers, raising his personal strength again before the great battle.

The strength of Source Body Jiya was unknown, and Wang Yi wanted to take her down in one fell swoop. To do that, it was naturally for the best that his own power be as strong as possible.

The Galaxy Airship slowly rose into the air. Wang Yi had his All-Purpose Driver, Frank, take the helm while he surveyed the mountains and rivers from inside the vessel.

A moment later, Wang Yi frowned.

He saw a patch of forest on the ground below moving at high speed.

To be more precise, it was an army of Treants. A vast horde of green-leafed Treants swarmed forward, and in the middle of their main force was a gigantic willow tree, sixty or seventy meters tall, that looked like their commander.

’This Treant army must be on its way to carve up Liu Nan’s territory. Judging by its size, it shouldn’t be enough of a threat to the Soldiers moving supplies in the A22 ruins. Still, they need to evacuate as soon as possible. These ecological armies are tough to deal with when their numbers get too high...’

Wang Yi muttered to himself, not paying the Treant army below much mind. He pointed to a distant mountain and had Frank pilot the Galaxy Airship toward it.

But strangely, Wang Yi noticed the Treant army on the ground had also changed its course and was now chasing after him.

’Why are they chasing me? Can they even catch up?’

Wang Yi chuckled, but then he spotted a mass of vine-like plants also giving chase.

The vines grew blue, Watermelon-sized fruits. They whipped their tendrils, flinging the fruits madly toward the Galaxy Airship. When the airship changed direction, the fruits changed direction too. They were clearly giving chase and wouldn’t let up. Even when left far behind, their pursuit remained unnervingly precise.

Soon, a third ecological army appeared: a moving patch of grassland.

The three ecological armies even converged, as if joining forces, and followed in the Galaxy Airship’s wake.

Wang Yi realized something was wrong.

The Earth Deity armies he’d encountered before hadn’t been like this. They would simply pass by, each ignoring the other, not pursue him relentlessly as if driven by a deep-seated hatred.

’They’re trying to hunt me down! Is this Jiya’s Will? Are the two Mysterious Items not working?’

Wang Yi frowned, a suspicion forming in his mind. When the number of ecological armies below grew to five, all of them chasing him relentlessly, he became completely certain of his theory.

’Trying to ambush me this early... so impatient. Could it be that Jiya is feeling insecure?’

’Looks like leisurely exploring this world is out of the question now,’ Wang Yi thought.

’Source Body Jiya has already made her move. I’ll have to counter each move as it comes and stay on high alert. If Jiya manages to pin me down and I can’t recover, there’ll be no one to come and help me!’
