Chapter 376: Coveting

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Hey, wait, wait for me, Teacher Jiu Han.”

Just as Jiu Han took a few steps, he was stopped by Bai Zhe.

At this moment, Bai Zhe was all smiles, as if the two of them were not ordinary friends but brothers from different parents.

“Teacher Jiu Han, are you leaving?”

“Hmph.”

“How about you taking me with you?”

These words seemed to have awakened Jiu Han.

He turned to look at the anxious array masters around him.

After thinking for a moment, Jiu Han made a decision.

“Everyone, come with me.”

“And me,” the Desolate Demon Lord weakly spoke up. Jiu Han immediately nodded, “Then I’ll take you along.”

Even though he was in the Boshi Tower, Lu Ming clearly sensed what was happening in the outside world.

Lu Ming had no objections to his teacher wanting to save others. After saying “as soon as possible”, he focused all his attention on Vicky’s clone.

At this moment, Lu Ming had already appeared in Lin Feng’s manor.

Seeing Lu Ming, Lin Feng shivered, and the little bug beneath him instantly softened.

“Lu Ming… spare me…”

Lu Ming totally ignored him.

Moon Fiend whimpered, half in a dream and half-awake, unconscious.

On the other hand, Vicky smiled slightly at Lu Ming.

“You won’t be able to escape. And…”

With that said, he turned to look at the barrier that surrounded him.

“Do you think this thing can trap me?”

“Yes.” Lu Ming nodded affirmatively. Vicky was stunned.

He did not know where Lu Ming’s confidence came from. But looking into Lu Ming’s calm eyes, he nodded after a moment and said, “Fine, whether it works or not doesn’t matter. What matters is that my main body has received the message. He is on his way here now.”

With that said, Vicky slowly stretched out his hand and made a hand gesture of five at Lu Ming.

“Five minutes. In just five minutes, my main body will arrive. At that time, the secrets and opportunities for you will all be mine.”

As he spoke, Vicky’s eyes gradually turned red.

That was coveting, that was greed.

He was keenly aware of one thing.

This little fellow in front of him had extraordinary opportunities.

Since ancient times, no creature had been able to break through the limitations of the power system within the Black Mist Zone… Even the likes of Beast Kings were walking a crooked path, with the upper limitations clearly in place.

The current Subversives were no exception.

Just as Eternity had said, the subversives were all a group of small fries. They studied this and thought that they had discovered some incredible secret, but even if they knew everything, what difference would it make?

How could living beings born and raised in this world defy the will of this world?

No one could escape this dead end called the Black Mist Zone!

Not even Eternity and himself.

However, this guy in front of him was an exception…

The only exception.

The thoughts in his mind surged endlessly.

Lu Ming did not know that Vicky had thought so much.

He just stared at Vicky and soon smiled.

“What a coincidence. I have the same thoughts as you.”

“I captured you here also for the secrets you possess.”

Vicky’s cultivation system was not the kind of manipulated system within the Black Mist Zone. Instead, it was an ordinary Source Power System.

And now, Lu Ming, by a twist of fate, was also walking down this path—though he had to admit that he was walking this path based on guesswork.

He urgently needed a reference and verification.

And Vicky’s clone was a ready-made reference.

With a thought, all the formations in Boshi Tower instantly flashed.

Lu Ming increased the power of the array formations, sealing the connection between Vicky’s Clone and the main body.

This indeed caused some trouble for Vicky—his main body could no longer sense the specific location of his clone.

“But it won’t work.”

“You don’t know how wide the perception range of a true Spirit Realm expert is…”

Vicky said calmly, and a spatial storm swept around him.

This clone naturally could not just stand still and wait for death.

He had to try to see if he could break the current situation through the power of the clone.

To this, Lu Ming just muttered softly.

“One step at a time, solve the problem bit by bit.”

“Now, I’ll deal with you first before I consider the threat from your main body.”

With that said, the array patterns surrounding Vicky suddenly lit up.

Vicky felt a huge suction force coming from all directions, rapidly draining his Divine Source.

An endless Divine Source surged into Lu Ming’s body.

Vicky could clearly see that the fourth divinity was rapidly taking shape in Lu Ming’s abdomen.

Vicky was instantly dumbfounded.

This was because the speed at which Lu Ming constructed the divinity was unimaginably fast!

This was not surprising.

Vicky did not rely on knowledge of array formations to build a divinity, but on following examples—he did not know anything about array formations and just used ready-made examples to build the divinity.

This speed was completely incomparable to Lu Ming’s speed of completely understanding the logic of the divinity and then building it.

But soon, Vicky shook his head. “It’s useless.”

“The number of divinities can indeed affect one’s combat strength, but in front of a Spirit Realm expert who has completed the transformation, no matter how many divinities there are, it’s just futile effort.”

“A true Spirit Realm expert completely and thoroughly crushes the Transformation Realm in comparison!”

“And Blood Pattern Spiritization takes time, only time, it has nothing to do with talent.”

Of course, the more divinities, the faster the Spiritization of the blood patterns however, no matter what, Lu Ming, who had just started, could not catch up with the progress on the main body’s side.

This difference was so great that Vicky did not think that there was any possibility that he would fail.

Lu Ming, however, did not care about all that.

He just followed his own standards step by step.

“Upgrade.”

He muttered in his mind.

Lu Ming used some Divine Source Points, forcibly raising his level from the Physique Realm level seven to Physique Realm level eight!

With the strength skyrocketing during his advancement, he accelerated the rate of devouring Vicky’s clone’s power, hoping to dissolve the combat power of Vicky’s clone in the shortest time possible.

This operation worked of course.

As blood patterns appeared on the surface of Lu Ming’s body, the number of blood patterns on Lu Ming quickly increased from 144 to 288!

Along with it, there was a massive pulling force.

This pulling force combined with the array formation, made it impossible for Vicky to resist.

A huge amount of Divine Source flowed out of the divinity, into the array formation before entering Lu Ming’s body.

On the system panel, the number of Divine Source points began to increase crazily.

Vicky, who was losing his strength, also lost the ability to forcibly break through the array formation.

But he did not worry or fear, he just looked at Lu Ming with a face full of curiosity.

Until Lu Ming’s breath completely stabilized after his advancement, Vicky, who had already shattered two divinities, suddenly sneered.

“Alright!”

“Great.”

“The secrets you possess are astonishing!”

“They should belong to me!”

In the outside world, although Vicky’s main body was unaware of everything happening inside the Boshi Tower, he could vaguely sense the obsession coming from his clone.

“Catch Lu Ming and we won’t stop until we achieve our goal!”

Between the fluctuations of lights and shadows, Vicky had already arrived above the small island.

However, as his perception swept over, there were only two or three insignificant beings left on the island—among them was the Mother Tree’s clone..
