Chapter 1171: Evolve: Half-Step Type 9 Realm!
Yue Zhong took up the golden plate, and with a thought, a bout of energy was sent into it.
The plate then lit up, and a strange energy wave stretched outwards in all directions.
Dang! Dang! Dang!
"His Majesty summons!!"
Immediately, everywhere within the Gold Wyrm King City, alarms rang out, and the commanders of the army were shocked, and quickly gathered their forces, soaring off towards the palace.
The Gold Wyrm King City was the capital of the Gold Wyrm Kingdom, and its surface area was much larger than China. The total number of Holy Race members here numbered over 40 million, and the humans were over 500 million. Just the forces alone inside the capital numbered 2 million.
The moment they received the summons, the 2 million-strong army immediately soared towards the palace.
Huge armies arrived and descended from the skies, landing in the vast palace courtyard in an orderly fashion. There was not a single hint of chaos. These were elite troops that had been trained for a long time and knew their positions.
At the same time, a number of huge battleships arrived and awaited orders from the Gold Wyrm Holy King.
Inside the palace, Cai Wei stood behind Yue Zhong, eyeing the incoming troops, and her eyes were filled with fear. The pressure of these millions of Holy Race members was too overwhelming.
However, when she saw how incomparably calm and steady Yue Zhong was, her emotions started to quieten, and it felt like even if the sky came falling down, he would be able to shoulder it. All she had to do was to trust him.
Yue Zhong was also looking at the number of troops and laughed lightly, "Very good, seems like the majority is here. Time to collect some lives!"
In an instant, the vast Devil Domain appeared and spread out, enveloping the entire Gold Wyrm army. It reached over 50km, easily bringing all the soldiers within.
Within the domain, countless devilish manifestations appeared and pounced on the soldiers of the Gold Wyrm King, tearing them apart and sucking their blood essence, turning them into dried corpses.
In the skies, the battleships were also invaded by the Devil Qi, as the manifestations appeared and pounced on the warriors within, devouring them.
In just a few breaths, the 2-million strong Gold Wyrm King's army had been devoured by the Devil Domain, left with emaciated corpses.
All the emptied battleships were then kept into Yue Zhong's Universe Ring.
After a large portion of the army was wiped out, the Devil Qi within the domain gathered together to form a huge Devil of over 60km in height.
The Devil then opened its huge mouth, and sucked in deeply, affecting all the other Gold Wyrm King City's soldiers that were still en route, as a terrifying whirlpool appeared in mid-air, sucking all the soldiers in.
The terrifying devil exerted that suction once, and over thousands of the Gold Wyrm City soldiers were turned into emaciated corpses that dropped out of the sky.
The entire city erupted in chaos upon seeing that massacre of soldiers, as countless humans started to flee out of the city.
Cai Wei stood one side, staring with shock at the rate of how Yue Zhong was slaughtering the Holy Race soldiers, "Strong!! He is really so strong!! I've managed to follow the right person!"
After evolving to the peak-Type 8 realm, Yue Zhong's strength had undergone another earthshaking change. As long as he went all out, just him alone could easily wipe out an entire race that was weaker than him. He was truly nearing the peak of strength.
Once he had wiped out over 2 million elites, Yue Zhong could sense the inner energy circulating within him increasing once more. Adding on to the life force he obtained from killing the 4 Holy Kings, he was already near the bottleneck.
"Time to go!" Yue Zhong turned around and headed further into the palace.
Along the way, there were many remaining experts of the Gold Wyrm King, however, before they had the chance to act, Yue Zhong would raise his hand casually and destroy their brains with energy, their life force surging into him.
Under Bai Yi's instructions, Yue Zhong passed through numerous alleys and came in front of the secret treasury.
In front of the treasury, there were 2 half-step Type 8 Gold Wyrm experts. As Yue Zhong arrived, they opened their eyes and stared at Yue Zhong and barked out, "Who are you, people?!"
Yue Zhong had no intentions to waste his breath on them, directly pointing with his finger and two energy blades sliced their heads off, "Die!"
Facing the defense-packed door, Yue Zhong just punched out at it and the explosive strength from his God-Devil Physique burst out, directly causing the door to crumple.
He then stepped into the treasury.
Within the treasury belonging to the Gold Wyrm Holy King, there were many precious stones, Mutant Beast nuclei, heavenly treasures, and all sorts of advanced warfare equipment. It was truly abundant.
Yue Zhong swept them all a glance, without much interest. They were of use to him, but not personally, as his strength would not suddenly increase by utilizing all of these.
While the treasures were abundant, it could not compare to the one in the Mech Empire. After all, one was a true Type 9 expert's storage, while this was just a half-step Type 9 powerhouse.
Yue Zhong's gaze swept past the treasures, when all of a sudden, he was attracted to one particular object. In the midst of all the treasures, there was a small spring of clear water. At the center, there was a plant that had 7 rainbow-colored leaves, with 3 rainbow-colored fruits.
When Yue Zhong saw the fruits, his eyes lit up, "That's the Rainbow Dragon-blood Fruit! The legends say that it could only grow in the blood of a dragon True God powerhouse, and it would only produce a rare fruit every 10,000 years. There have been records in the Great God World, but none has ever been seen. If a Type 9 powerhouse were to consume one, it would nourish the body. Who would have thought that I could come across such a fruit here?!"
Yue Zhong waved his hands and the energy surrounding him grabbed out at all the treasures, sweeping them all into his Universe Ring, emptying the entire treasury.
"It's missing one, seems like the Gold Wyrm Holy King consumed one." Yue Zhong walked up to the Rainbow Dragon-blood Fruit, only to discover one obvious hole, evidently, one of the fruits had been taken.
Yue Zhong reached out and plucked all 3, before throwing them into his mouth. He chewed awhile and swallowed it.
The moment those 3 fruits entered his abdomen, they turned into a number of rainbow-colored dragon-shaped energy beams that rushed through his body.
There was a loud crack, and his body almost split apart, as gold blood started to flow out of him, turning him entire golden.
The medicinal properties of the Rainbow Dragon-blood Fruit were extremely strong, even the Gold Wyrm Holy King needed a long time to fully digest and refine a single fruit. If an ordinary person were to consume one, he or she would be burnt alive by the power of the fruit.
The energy from the 3 fruits continued to surge through his body, breaking it apart and nourishing it further, making him even stronger.
The accumulated life force within him was also ignited by the commotion, and charged right through his consciousness, turned into golden Yuan Qi by his God-Devil Nucleus, merging with the energy of the Rainbow Dragon-blood Fruit, entering his bones.
Under the assault of the yuan qi, Yue Zhong's bones were continuously evolving, turning into indestructible god-like bones.
The process took an entire day and night.
"I've finally reached the half-step Type 9 realm!!"
Yue Zhong opened his eyes, as 2 sacred light shot out. He could sense that his body had been strengthened more than dozens of times. He had finally broken through to the half-step Type 9 stage. As long as he comprehended spatial laws and accumulated enough strength, he would be able to reach the Type 9 stage, lording over those of the same class, and becoming a true peak expert.
Yue Zhong turned to look and saw Cai Wei kneeling beside him, holding a wet towel and wiping his face for him.
