Unexpected Gains: Top True God

Soon, True Immortal Zhou Yu, having finished cultivating the Taowu Eighteen Gods and Devils, arrived within the World Prison and began his plundering.

With the addition of True Immortal Zhou Yu's eighteen avatars, the speed of the looting increased significantly.

At this point, True Immortal Zhou Yu was responsible for stripping the Celestial Immortals, while True God Zhou Yu began targeting the True Immortals and True Gods.

In truth, many of the True Gods and True Immortals within the World Prison possessed strength exceeding Zhou Yu's, with quite a few even wielding power at the fifth level.

Yet, Zhou Yu felt no fear; he excelled in the power of space-time, and even if he were not a match for them, he was confident in his ability to escape.

The key was that most True Gods and True Immortals had not gained insight into the Chaos Heavenly Dao and were unable to draw power from the outside world; their energy was finite, and they simply could not outlast Zhou Yu in a war of attrition.

Faced with Zhou Yu's plundering, the prisoners here reacted in various ways: some submitted obediently, while others, having been imprisoned for far too long, had long since gone mad and would rather die than yield.

Regardless of the situation, however, their treasures ultimately fell into Zhou Yu's hands, and his net worth began to skyrocket at a visible rate.

"Is this... a Void Chaos Crystal?"

After looting a black-clad True God, Zhou Yu suddenly discovered a treasure among his spoils that looked quite familiar.

It was a pitch-black crystal about the size of a pigeon egg, with tiny specks of silver light flickering within.

Countless crystals were piled densely there, resembling a small mountain.

"You recognize the Void Chaos Crystal? This treasure is quite obscure," the black-clad True God said indifferently.

Zhou Yu said nothing more; he immediately began to scour the black-clad True God's memories.

"True God Fuhai, you are from the Huntian World?" Zhou Yu looked at him.

"Don't you already know?" the black-clad True God replied. "I don't recognize you. Could it be that you know others from the Huntian World?"

"I suppose so."

Zhou Yu did not elaborate.

This black-clad True God was born when the Huntian World was on the verge of destruction, and with transcendent talent, he had cultivated into a Empyrean God before later entering the Nine Directions Chaos Kingdom to train.

From his memories, Zhou Yu also learned of the subsequent situation in the Huntian World.

Furthermore, in his memories, the Nine Spirits Ancestral God had only ever had eleven children from beginning to end; the twelfth descendant had never existed.

It seems everything in the simulation is indeed illusory; only success can turn into reality! Zhou Yu shook his head inwardly.

There was no use dwelling on it; the Nine Directions Chaos Kingdom had long since been destroyed.

Whoosh!

Zhou Yu soon left the area.

Beyond learning some things about the Huntian World from True God Fuhai, that pile of "Void Chaos Crystals" was also a significant harvest.

The Nine Spirits Ancestral God had created a divine power outburst technique called the Ninefold Destruction Divine Power!

To cultivate it required Void Chaos Crystals, and the higher the level of cultivation, the more crystals were needed.

The first three levels of the Ninefold Destruction Divine Power could be cultivated by Return to Void Gods and Devils and required only one Void Chaos Crystal.

The first six levels could be mastered by Celestial Gods and required one thousand.

The first nine levels could be cultivated by True Gods and required one million.

In truth, the Nine Spirits Ancestral God's ultimate goal was to create the twelfth level of destruction power, but unfortunately, he had not yet succeeded before the Nine Directions Chaos Kingdom fell.

Zhou Yu had already learned the complete Ninefold Destruction Divine Power.

It was just that he had been a Loose Immortal before and had no use for it.

Even if he could have used it, he lacked the crucial Void Chaos Crystals, but this time, having looted a massive quantity, this technique finally had a place to be put to use.

The Void Chaos Crystals obtained from True God Fuhai must number in the hundreds of millions, more than enough for me to cultivate the Ninefold Destruction Divine Power, Zhou Yu thought.

After discovering the Void Chaos Crystals, Zhou Yu soon made another gain; he obtained a chaotic wonder called the "Nine-Colored Chaos Stone" from a first-rank True Immortal.

The Nine-Colored Chaos Stone is the foundation for cultivating the Nine Turns Immortal Ascension Art, Zhou Yu sighed inwardly.

This Nine Turns Immortal Ascension Art was also a harvest from his second simulation; it was a Qi-refining technique that could lead to becoming a second-rank Celestial Immortal, but the prerequisite for cultivation was the chaotic wonder known as the "Nine-Colored Chaos Stone."

Previously, Zhou Yu lacked the Nine-Colored Chaos Stone and had never heard of such a treasure in the Three Realms, so he had never considered cultivating this technique.

Now, he could let his main body and his second Primordial Spirit try practicing it.

A second-rank Celestial Immortal, while still weaker than a Empyrean God, was far stronger than a second-rank True Immortal!

A year later, True God Zhou Yu ceased his plundering of the many prisoners.

His True Immortal avatars could slowly deal with the more troublesome prisoners, and as for this True God avatar, Zhou Yu did not wish to continue wasting too much time.

This avatar was too powerful; in terms of the Primordial Spirit alone, it was billions of times stronger than a Loose Immortal.

With such a Primordial Spirit, combined with the comprehension brought by "Potential Boost" and "Cultivation Genius," as well as the incredible cultivation assistance from "Heaven Rewards Diligence," Zhou Yu was eager to see how fast his progress would be if he focused his mind on the Dao.

I will master the divine technique first, then begin meditating, Zhou Yu pondered.

The Ninefold Destruction Divine Power had to be mastered as a priority. The Three Realms were so chaotic right now that even with a True God avatar, Zhou Yu felt it wasn't enough; the stronger his power, the more at ease he could be while in secluded meditation.

On a mountain peak within the World Prison.

True God Zhou Yu sat cross-legged, with a million Void Chaos Crystals laid out before him.

As he circulated his divine power, the crystals—pitch-black and speckled with silver light—began to shatter, flooding his divine body with massive amounts of chaotic energy.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Following the movement of Zhou Yu's mind, streaks of pitch-black divine patterns appeared across the surface of his body, gradually coalescing into the shape of a handsome, exotic beast that radiated a terrifying aura of destruction.

At a certain moment—

"Haha, it is done."

Zhou Yu suddenly opened his eyes, which emitted a soul-captivating radiance.

He swept his gaze forward, and the divine power within him erupted in a specific manner; the beast formed by the divine patterns seemed to roar toward the heavens.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The incredibly stable space ahead began to tremble.

Zhou Yu looked toward a vast plain, and the next instant, the plain was silently annihilated by a vast force, turning into a deep valley.

"This divine ability is truly powerful enough."

Zhou Yu marveled inwardly. He immediately stood up and sought out a prisoner at the level of a peak True God to spar with.

Previously, Zhou Yu had been no match for this prisoner at all, but now, the two were trading blows evenly.

With the aid of this divine ability, I can also be considered a peak True God. Zhou Yu felt completely confident in his strength.

This was not strange; for instance, Daoist Sanshou was a peak True God based solely on his Star-Plucking Hand.

It now appeared that the Ninefold Destruction Divine Power was indeed the life's work of the Nine Spirits Ancestral God, a divine ability no less formidable than the Star-Plucking Hand.

However, reaching this level through a divine ability had its drawbacks: it lacked endurance.

There were many ways to reach the strength of a peak True God, the most common being the comprehension of a fifth-level origin power.

Fifth-level origin power consumed negligible amounts of energy, whereas divine abilities required the massive expenditure of divine power to achieve such explosive force.

When it came to a war of attrition, a divine ability could certainly not compete with origin power.

Furthermore, in a duel, relying solely on a divine ability meant being at a disadvantage in terms of technique.

The only advantage of this divine ability was that its explosive power was fierce enough to even surpass normal fifth-level power, allowing him to remain a peak True God despite lacking technique.

This is a major step forward. My True God avatar was quite ordinary among True Gods before, but now it can be called top-tier, which is quite rare. Zhou Yu sighed with emotion.

The path must be walked one step at a time. With this divine ability, if he were to comprehend a fifth-level origin power in the future, he would be significantly more formidable than a standard peak True God.
