Necropolis of the Gods, fifth floor, rock world!

Kolan did not rush to explore the sixth floor, but instead began using the corpses of Saint-level magical beasts from the fourth floor to refine Saint-level undead beings!

He could not summon Saint-level undead from the Undead Realm, but he could refine them himself.

Even the Saint-level Wind Dragon that Kolan had sliced in half with a single blade strike became a complete Saint-level undead Bone Dragon once stitched back together!

As for the dragon meat, dragon tendons, and dragon blood, Kolan stored them away or ate the dragon meat himself.

Baruch stayed far away, shivering as he watched Kolan craft undead beings.

The mere thought of dying and being refined into an undead being by Kolan made Baruch's entire body go cold.

By the time the other Saint-level experts arrived on the fifth floor, Kolan had already refined thirty Saint-level undead beings.

The other Saint-level experts looked at Kolan with eyes full of fear.

It was too terrifying!

If Kolan wanted to kill them, they wouldn't even be able to escape in the Necropolis of the Gods.

As for the Saint-level magical beasts, each one's eyes revealed terror.

Kolan could kill those Saint-level magical beasts and refine their corpses into Saint-level undead beings; naturally, he could do the same to them.

They could only befriend Kolan; they must never offend him.

Otherwise, they wouldn't even be able to rest in peace after death.

Kolan looked at his handiwork, very satisfied.

Because these Saint-level undead beings still possessed their original Saint-level magic cores as energy sources, their strength was not much worse than when they were alive.

Moreover, as undead beings, they did not fear injury, felt no pain, and were fearless in the face of death.

"Huh, why are there five missing?" Kolan checked and noticed five Saint-level human warriors were gone.

Baruch said, "Those five were quite unlucky; they died!"

In these first four floors, if one excluded the second and fourth floors that he had cleared himself, these Saint-level experts had only explored two floors, yet five had already died.

Kolan was quite surprised.

If not for his own masterpieces, wouldn't ten or more have died!?

Looking at the magical beasts, three Saint-level magical beasts had died; clearly, those three were also unlucky.

"Kolan, shall we explore the sixth floor together, or split up?" Baruch asked.

"Let's explore together!" Kolan said.

"But before that, I'll treat everyone to a good meal!" Following that, Kolan took out wine and dragon meat.

The Saint-level Tyrannosaurus Puterode's mouth twitched; it had also entered the Necropolis of the Gods to explore this time.

As an old acquaintance, it felt as if Kolan was eating its own flesh and using its own bones to refine undead beings.

Thinking back to the grievances they once had, Puterode felt terrified.

The other Saint-level magical beasts did not eat the dragon meat, choosing instead to silently distance themselves from Kolan.

This human was too dangerous!

Kolan did not care; if they didn't want to eat, they didn't have to!

The other Saint-level human experts, however, had their eyes light up.

As the dragon meat roasted and they drank wine, their fear of Kolan quickly vanished.

The dragon meat was fragrant; once roasted, they began to gorge on the meat, drink wine, and chat.

Very few of the Saint-level human experts had ever eaten dragon meat, so this time, they were truly blessed by Kolan.

"So this is how fragrant dragon meat is; it's delicious!" Baruch ate the dragon meat in large mouthfuls.

His appetite was quite frightening.

Eating meat in large bites, drinking wine from large bowls!

How satisfying!

"Kolan, with your strength, you will definitely be able to obtain a God Divine Spark, refine it, and become a god-level expert just like the High Priest and the War God!" Bolei said with emotion.

"If someone as strong as Kolan can't obtain a God Divine Spark, then who can?" Haide laughed.

The others agreed wholeheartedly.

Among them, Kolan was the strongest.

He was simply absurdly powerful.

Just looking at those thirty Saint-level undead beings made their scalps tingle.

Kolan smiled.

He knew the methods to become a god; there were only two ways. One was to become a god independently by cultivating laws and rules to a certain level; the other was to refine a God Divine Spark to become a god.

Refining a God Divine Spark meant one would have to refine a mid-level God Divine Spark to become a mid-level god, or a high-level God Divine Spark to become a high-level god later on, possessing no potential and being the weakest at the same level.

Kolan had never imagined that he would refine a godhead to become a god.

Of course, if he were unable to become a god independently after ten thousand years of cultivation, he would certainly crave a godhead to achieve divinity.

As for now, he was pursuing the path of independent godhood.

Even if he were to obtain a godhead while adventuring in the Necropolis of the Gods, he would not refine it to become a god.

Kolan remained very confident in his ability to become a god independently.

As a soul mutant with infinite potential, if he didn't even have the confidence to become a god on his own, how could he possibly make a name for himself?

The gazes the others cast toward Kolan were filled with awe.

Indeed, perhaps it wouldn't be long before Kolan became a god-level powerhouse on par with the High Priest and the War God.

By then, he would no longer be on the same level as them.

At the same time, they cherished these days of eating meat and drinking wine together even more.

Once Kolan became a god-level powerhouse, he would be a figure they could only look up to, and they would no longer be able to eat meat and drink wine together as equals.

After a hearty meal, the group resolutely stepped into the passage leading from the fifth floor to the sixth.

The sixth floor was also a world of rock, with stones everywhere.

"Hahaha, my children, kill them all!"

Not long after entering the rock world and while searching for the passage, the group suddenly heard a burst of loud laughter.

Then, they saw chunks of rock transforming into Rock Giants.

Each Rock Giant was equivalent to the one that had fought Baruch earlier!

Every Rock Giant held heavy weapons such as stone axes and war hammers.

In an instant, there were thousands of Rock Giants, each one roaring toward the sky.

Wielding their weapons, they began to hunt down the Saint-level powerhouses who had entered the sixth floor.

The most terrifying one was in the central area: a Rock Giant with a massive body formed from a vast amount of dense, hard rock, holding a hammer over a hundred meters long. Every step this Rock Giant took felt like an earthquake.

The Rock Monarch!

"Roar!" The Rock Monarch swung its axe, and a Saint-level magical beast was instantly cleaved to death, turning into a puddle of flesh.

Seeing this scene, the Saint-level powerhouses all gasped in unison.

Too terrifying!

This attack was far too fearsome!

Kolan raised an eyebrow.

It seemed this Rock Monarch had cultivated the Earth Pulse of the Laws of Earth Elements; the sudden, terrifying vibration had shattered that Saint-level magical beast.

"Kill!" the Rock Monarch bellowed.

Those Rock Giants swarmed toward the group of Saint-level powerhouses who had broken into the sixth floor.

"Go!" Kolan issued an order, and thirty Saint-level undead beings blocked the twenty-plus Rock Giants charging toward them, engaging in a fierce battle.

What terrifying defense. Unless one is at the peak of the Saint-level, it is impossible to break through their defenses and kill them! Kolan thought to himself.

Kolan flew toward the Rock Monarch.

Some Rock Giants tried to attack Kolan along the way.

"Die!" Kolan slashed out with his sword.

He didn't break through the rock armor on the surface of the Rock Giant, but the spiritual attack contained within the strike directly shattered the soul inside the Rock Heart, killing the creature instantly.

These Rock Giants were somewhat different from normal life forms; their core lay in the Rock Heart within their bodies. The Rock Heart was both the source of their energy, much like a magical beast's magic core, and the location of the Rock Giant's soul.

To kill a Rock Giant, one had to shatter the Rock Heart.

Otherwise, even if the surface rock was broken, as long as the Rock Heart remained undamaged, the Rock Giant could recover to its original state in no time.
