Chapter 614: Chapter 373: Death and Life

The Mage killed by Lu Cang lay where his body had fallen, alone on the ground.

Some time after Lu Cang had left, someone finally arrived to collect the body.

The newcomer was a man with yellow hair, dressed in a bright yellow Magic Robe.

He squatted beside the corpse, a dazed look on his face.

"Sigh... Old Lei."

"I always said that temper of yours would get you into trouble with the wrong people."

"Sigh, now that you’re dead, how am I supposed to tell your fiancée? She’s still waiting for you."

"Your wedding was supposed to be on the 10th of next month, right? Could you really bear to let her live on alone like this?"

"Couldn’t... couldn’t you have just held back this one time?"

"You said you’d stop being an Adventurer after you got married. If you two had retired to the countryside, your personality would have kept you much safer."

The Mage in the yellow robe sat on a rock beside the body, staring into the dead Mage’s unblinking eyes...

"Sigh."

"I’ll never be able to hide this from Meisha."

"If I tell her the truth, she might spend the rest of her life tormented by the need for revenge..."

"But even so, I have no choice."

"Even if I hide the truth of your death, it will still reach her ears eventually."

The yellow-robed Mage gazed at the entrance of the distant Tier Seven Dungeon.

"I can’t let Meisha face that terrifyingly powerful monster. She’s as stubborn as you are; she’d definitely die at his hands."

"Sigh."

"Brother... if I had a choice, I really wouldn’t have wanted to hear news of your death at a time like this."

The yellow-robed Mage hoisted Old Lei onto his back.

Step by step, he slowly departed into the distance.

He had no intention of looking for Lu Cang.

He knew he was no match for Lu Cang. A being who could kill Old Lei in an instant was definitely at least Level 7, a powerhouse he couldn’t afford to provoke.

...

WHOOSH—

Lu Cang walked out of the Tier Seven Dungeon, and it vanished behind him.

Immediately after, Lu Cang began to draw another Ritual.

He once again summoned the "Source of Calamity."

The tide of Demons surged once more, rolling in and gathering in this direction.

This time, however, not many people gathered to watch.

Lu Cang could feel a few powerful Perceptions staring at him from afar, but they made no rash moves.

’Level 7 Reincarnators are watching me.’

’There should only be one or two Level 7 Reincarnators on this island...’

Level 7 was extremely rare in the entire sea region.

Generally, beings of this level were the strongest on an entire continent.

Level 7 Reincarnators were already high-ranking, powerful figures within major Sects or other factions.

Atlantis City in Miselux was already one of the most renowned cities in the Moon Sea.

In addition, Saint One was also in that city, accompanied by many trusted followers and attendants.

That was why the number of Level 7 Reincarnators in Atlantis City far exceeded the norm.

Now, in a remote area like Moonfall Island, there were naturally far fewer.

Lu Cang ignored them and focused on forming another Tier Seven Dungeon.

’As expected, being powerful is a good thing.’

’It lets you ignore most of the rules.’

’Hiding and sneaking around? Attracting attention and causing a commotion?’

’Heh... As long as I’m strong enough,’

’no one can stop me, and I can do whatever I want.’

Lu Cang nonchalantly spawned three more Tier Seven Dungeons.

’Sure enough, the Demon tides on Moonfall Island are much denser than elsewhere.’

’That first Dungeon was just a light warm-up.’

’I didn’t even perform a Sacrifice.’

’Now that the warm-up is over, it’s time to start farming them in earnest...’

Lu Cang raised a hand, aiming it at the Dungeon before him.

Souls poured out from his body, continuously flowing into the Dungeon. The color of the Dungeon’s light gradually deepened.

[Sacrifice Soul: 100,000,000]

He had directly sacrificed one hundred million souls.

The Dungeon before him was the Mutated Nest, the same type of Nest that Luo Mo belonged to.

Lu Cang entered it.

...

The brilliant sun of Purity Moon rose from the horizon, climbed to its zenith at noon, and then gradually sank westward, turning a ripe, fiery red.

The sun set in the west.

Although this wasn’t Earth, it still followed the principle of a sun rising in the east and setting in the west.

Lu Cang emerged from the Dungeon.

’Today’s harvest was quite bountiful.’

’Right now, hunting Tier Seven, Sixth Shedding level Demons still results in a bit of a tough fight...’

’I feel like Tier Seven, Sixth Shedding Demons are vaguely comparable in strength to Luo Mo.’

’If I hadn’t stacked the Heaven-Ascending Realm of Perfection for over ten minutes, I really wouldn’t have been able to win.’

He had killed a total of four Masters of the Nest Cave today, only encountering two at the Tier Seven, Sixth Shedding level.

As he processed this, his mind stirred slightly.

SWISH—

His consciousness seemed to sink beneath the entirety of Moonfall Island...

Beneath the vast island of Moonfall Island, countless red, cell-like substances connected and spread out. This network of red matter covered more than just the island; it extended far into the deep sea below it.

And it formed a web-like range with a radius of three million kilometers, centered on Moonfall Island.

[Flesh Source: Variable Master (Tier Seven, Sixth Shedding)]

This wasn’t even its largest size.

If it fully unfurled, it could easily cover the entirety of Miselux... Destroying Miselux would be almost as simple as breathing.

Of course, even the Pure White Tree could accomplish such a feat.

Its Rebirth, adaptability, and transformative abilities were all top-tier among those Lu Cang had ever seen.

The other one was [Aberration: Spinal Cord].

SWISH—

With another thought,

a long spinal cord connected to a brain appeared in mid-air. The spine was like a long, centipede-like worm, with long "ribs" extending from its left and right, floating like wings.

This allowed it to float and fly in the air.

SIZZLE—

With a soft sound, flesh and blood instantly grew out of thin air around the spine and brain.

It transformed into Lu Cang’s likeness.

But it wasn’t exactly the same as Lu Cang, because this version had many strange organs and extra, overgrown limbs.

It naturally mutated based on the life forms it had encountered.

This was a life form constantly evolving toward "perfection."

And by sheer coincidence, it was one of Luo Mo’s experiments. When fighting it, seeing it take on his own form was like witnessing a possible evolutionary path for himself toward perfection.

Moreover, it had actually managed to imitate some of the power of his Divine Talent.

Although it couldn’t fully replicate the effects of the Divine Talent,

during the actual battle, Lu Cang could feel a Talent similar to the Heaven-Ascending Realm of Perfection activating, and its power grew continuously over time.

Unfortunately, the growth wasn’t much...

SWISH—

With a thought, Lu Cang recalled these two Undead into the Little Nether Realm.

Today’s gains weren’t limited to just these two Undead.

He had replenished his ranks with many Tier Seven Demon Undead, and had also harvested many precious medicinal herbs, excavated valuable alloys, and found natural Enchantment materials in the various Dungeons.

’Hmm...’

’Lu Luwei should be waking up soon. I’ll call it a day.’

As for the person he had casually killed earlier... Lu Cang didn’t give it a second thought.

’He wanted to kill me.’

’He acted indiscriminately, refusing to listen to any explanation.’

’He tried to kill me, so it’s only reasonable that I killed him in return... Is there any reason to show mercy to someone who wants me dead?’

Following this line of thought, Lu Cang found no fault in his logic.

He simply cleared out the other Dungeons he had created, turned, and vanished from the spot.

And everything that happened today,

everything concerning him,

would blur in people’s memories. They wouldn’t know who exactly had caused the Tier Seven Demon tide here.

They would only know that it had happened.

...

SWISH—

Returning to the docks of Moonfall Island, the atmosphere still felt somewhat oppressive.

The aftereffects of what Lu Luwei did yesterday still lingered... After all, she had caused a huge incident and killed several people in charge on Moonfall Island.

It made sense that things hadn’t returned to normal so quickly.
