Fishing and Slaughter

Amid mountains overgrown with countless wild grasses, Lynn stood among the rocks, watching Muya Legion's Metal Life slowly fly away.

"According to the map, Floating Light City, the nearest city to Moon Shadow Mansion, is more than forty million li from here. Even an ordinary Metal Life would need over a month to fly there!" Lynn pondered silently. "But at my speed, if I went all out, it would only take around ten days!"

However, Lynn would not do that. If he wanted to go to the city, he could simply have had Muya Legion take him there earlier.

The reason he remained here now was to fish!

After all, he only had one Ink Stone on him, while his true body needed a large number of godheads to refine and extract their Godhead Essence to strengthen his body.

Of course, in Hell, the strong never lacked Ink Stones or godheads. There were no police here anyway, so he could simply rob some.

However, Lynn would not rob people for no reason.

"Concealing my aura to the level of a God should be enough." Lynn smiled faintly. His soul aura gradually weakened until he finally disguised himself as an utterly ordinary God.

After disguising himself as a God, Lynn checked his direction and rose directly into the sky, flying toward Floating Light City. Naturally, he still maintained the speed an ordinary God should have.

Whoosh!

Lynn flew over a mountain ravine, immediately alerting the bandit group hidden within.

"Hahaha! Kid, leave your valuables behind!" An arrogant voice instantly rang out beside Lynn's ear, as though Lynn had already become a captive at their mercy.

Lynn halted in midair and calmly looked toward the source of the voice.

More than twenty figures flew out from the ravine, surrounding him in the blink of an eye.

Among these twenty-odd figures, seven or eight were Gods, while the rest were Demigods. A bald God who appeared to be their leader glared viciously at Lynn. "Kid, you passed through our Huke Mountain and still think you can leave?"

Lynn looked at him indifferently. "Leave your Spatial Rings behind, and you can go. How about it?"

The bald God burst into laughter. "Hahaha! I think you've lost your mind! You'll leave behind your Spatial Ring, and your godhead and Divine Artifacts too!"

His words drew laughter from the other bandits as well. Clearly, they all thought Lynn was far too naive.

A single God godhead was worth tens of thousands of Ink Stones at the very least. Once it had entered their mouths, did he think they would spit it back out?

"Fine." Lynn nodded. "Since you're unwilling to leave your Spatial Rings behind, then all of you can stay."

"What do you mean, we leave our Spatial—"

Before the bald God could finish, he noticed Lynn's right hand opening slightly as several half-foot-long Purple-Green Electric Serpents shot out from his palm.

Whoosh!

As though they possessed intelligence, the electric serpents swiftly flew toward the group after emerging from Lynn's palm.

"A mere God, and you're trying to use an area attack!"

The bald God looked at the approaching electric serpents and swung his sword dismissively to block them. Yet the next instant, the electric serpent passed straight through the blade and burrowed fiercely into his body.

"Ahhh—" The moment the electric serpent entered him, his aura instantly vanished. His entire body convulsed as he fell from midair, and before he hit the ground, he had already stopped moving.

Whoosh!

The much smaller Purple-Green Electric Serpent shot out of his body and flew toward its next target.

Thud!

As the first corpse hit the ground—

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

Like dumplings being dropped into a pot, more than twenty corpses fell to the ground one after another.

"I told you that you could leave if you handed over your Spatial Rings! Hmph! You refused to listen!" Lynn snorted coldly. With a casual wave of his hand, their godheads, Spatial Rings, and Divine Artifacts turned into a stream and flew into his hand, where he put them away.

The first day passed, yet Lynn had advanced less than a hundred thousand li. The main reason for his slow progress was that he had to stop from time to time to pick up godheads and Divine Artifacts.

He had truly witnessed just how chaotic and dangerous Hell was.

Almost every mountain was occupied by bandits. Most of these bandit groups consisted of a dozen or so Gods, along with two or three times as many Demigods.

Any bandit group on any mountain could easily bring an apocalyptic disaster to a Material Plane!

The moment they discovered Lynn, these bandits stuck to him like sharks that had smelled blood, only to be hooked by Lynn.

In just one day, more than a hundred Gods had died at Lynn's hands, while the number of Demigods was several times greater.

These Demigods and Gods, who could easily establish an empire or a divine church in a Material Plane, were as common as flies in Hell.

"Let's stop here for today." Lynn shook his head and directly carved out a cave dwelling in the mountainside with his sword before entering it.

Other than cultivation, he had no other goal in coming to Hell.

He had traveled and fought all day. Night was time to cultivate.

Lynn sat down cross-legged. His Dark Divine Clone, dressed in a black robe, and his Lightning Divine Clone, dressed in a blue robe, flew out of his body and sat cross-legged as well.

Then, the three bodies began sorting through the spoils obtained from the bandits he had killed that day.

His Spiritual Sense was powerful, so he was extremely quick at inventorying the loot. Before long, he had finished checking everything. However, as expected, these bandit groups, whose strongest members were only Gods, were all very poor.

Even the leaders of bandit groups only had a few hundred thousand Ink Stones in their Spatial Rings.

"Not bad! Excluding divine sparks and divine artifacts, the Ink Stones alone add up to over three million!" Lynn smiled as he stored all the Ink Stones in his own Spatial Ring. Then, his gaze shifted to the small mountain of divine sparks and divine artifacts nearby.

"First, I'll pick out two suitable divine artifacts for myself," Lynn muttered.

Sky Radiance, which his true body used, was not yet a divine artifact. However, he intended to keep using it. After all, Sky Radiance had never been used by another god, and he had nurtured it with divine power for more than a decade. It suited him best.

Aside from his true body, he selected a mid-level divine artifact dagger for his Dark Divine Clone and a mid-level divine artifact longsword for his Lightning Divine Clone.

In addition to offensive divine artifacts, all three of his bodies, including his true body, put on mid-level defensive divine artifacts. Their survivability had improved further.

After storing all the remaining divine artifacts in his Spatial Ring, Lynn finally turned his attention to the pile of divine sparks on the ground.

This pile contained divine sparks of every attribute, each giving off a faint glow of a different color.

"I'll consume the Demigod sparks first." With a wave of his hand, Lynn stored away all the God sparks.

Only then did he begin picking out Demigod sparks of the earth, wind, water, and fire attributes from those remaining.

God Devouring Rats could only digest divine sparks of the same rank. As Demigods, they digested Demigod sparks; as Gods, they digested God sparks. Only upon reaching the High-level God stage could they digest High-level Divine Sparks.

Only by Devouring High-level Divine Sparks and extracting the Godhead Essence within could one forge a body at the level of a Sovereign Artifact.

Although Lynn was now a God, he felt it was better to begin by Devouring Demigod sparks.

Steady his footing, one step at a time!
