Chapter 334: New Prefecture Master, Ice Demon Shrine
Earning 62 million Divinity Crystals did not just make up for the 10 million spent on enhancing the Netherworld Divine Fire. It also ant a 52-million profit!
One word—way too satisfying!
“And the prefecture treasury, I have to find it! The wealth of a mid-level Great Demon God accumulated over its entire life must be plenteous!”
ng Lei had Dodola continue the search while he started to read the Ice Demon Prefecture Master’s divine spirit fragnts.
Other than knowing the treasury’s exact location, the mory itself was a precious treasure which ng Lei had to dig into.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
As he continued reading, the Ice Demon Prefecture Master’s mory played out swiftly in his mind.
After over an hour, ng Lei finally completed the reading process. He let out a long breath of pent-up air as a hint of a smile dashed across his face.
“Dodola, have you found anything yet?”
ng Lei teased.
“Found what? There was not even the slightest trace of it.”
“Hahaha, that’s normal.” ng Lei laughed. “The treasury wasn’t here in the first place!”
“Not here?” Dodola paused. “Then where is it?”
“The Ice Demon Prefecture Master wasn’t in the prefecture usually as it stayed in the Ice Demon Snow Mountain most of the ti, cultivating in the extre cold on top of the mountain,” ng Lei explained. “All its treasures, collections, and wealth are stored there!”
“So where is the Ice Demon Snow Mountain?” Dodola asked.
“Follow .”
ng Lei smiled faintly as he was about to leave with Dodola. Just then, a dozen of the Great Demon Gods who were previously watching the battle surrounded him suddenly.
ng Lei raised an eyebrow.
What are they trying to do? Perhaps they are trying to take advantage of the situation?
The reality proved that ng Lei overthought it. These Great Demon Gods flew over and bowed respectfully.
“Greetings, Prefecture Master!”
It was an expression of goodwill.
ng Lei nodded slightly. “Stand down the formalities.”
“Your prowess is unfathomable. Defeating Cador to beco the new Prefecture Master is a blessing to the prefecture and also our great honor!”
A Great Demon God said respectfully, “Please allow us to carry out any orders you have, and we will bend our backs to the task until our dying day!”
The other Great Demon Gods also expressed their willingness to serve ng Lei as his tools.
“Great!”
ng Lei was satisfied with their attitude. He smiled and said, “I was born rapacious, and I have an eye for things like Laws of Nature Origin Crystals and Divinity Crystals. If you are free, you can help find more of these treasures!”
Upon hearing that, the Great Demon Gods only had swearing and curses in their minds.
We expressed our goodwill only as a formality, not literally serving you! And you actually start ordering us around? Do you not know the way of the world, or you thought you’re an actual Prefecture Master?
The Great Demon Gods were dissing ng Lei secretly in their minds. To be honest, the previous Prefecture Master had never ordered them around before—not for this one, though.
“Oh, one more thing, three days later will be my 25th birthday.” ng Lei continued. “I’ll let you all settle the birthday feast. If I’m not pleased with the feast or the presents are undesirable, I’ll be furious!”
Having said that, ng Lei left with Dodola, leaving behind the confused Great Demon Gods.
It’ll be your 25th birthday three days later?
th birthday?
Who are you trying to fool?
If you’re not at least 1,000 years old, I’ll change my surna to yours!
“What the hell does he want?”
A Great Demon God’s expression was awful.
“He obviously wants to plunder more treasure!”
“Such naked greed! This bastard is even greedier than Cador!”
...
“The Ice Demon Snow Mountain is on the west side of the Ice Demon Prefecture. It’s 1,286,000 kiloters above sea level, with permanent snow throughout the year, making it suitable for ice demons to live in.
“The Ice Demon Prefecture Master stayed there most of the ti for cultivation. It was the perfect place for it!”
The two of them chatted idly on the way. It took half a day for them to reach the Ice Demon Snow Mountain. The undulating white mountains were like countless Frost Colossal Dragons lying prostrate on top—magnificent and spectacular.
Among these countless snowy mountains stood out an extrely majestic white mountain that was way higher than the ordinary mountains.
It was the Ice Demon Snow Mountain!
The mountain was already covered by clouds halfway up as if it was a celestial realm that was separate from the world—holy, advanced, and majestic.
The two of them passed through the clouds and went up all the way. It took them half an hour to reach the top of the mountain. There were no layers of clouds here anymore.
The sky was azure while there was nothing in the vicinity except for a majestic icy palace on top of the mountain—the Ice Demon Prefecture Master’s shrine!
“We’re here!”
ng Lei’s heart quickened uncontrollably as he knew how rich the Ice Demon Prefecture Master was after he read its mory.
The Ice Demon Prefecture’s territory was the size of over 1,000 of Heaven’s Vault Continent.
The Ice Demon Prefecture Master had been in charge for over 40,000 years and collected massive amounts of tributes!
How much wealth did it accumulate over 40,000 years?
ng Lei was eager to open the treasury and feast his eyes on what was inside.
Roar!
A furious roar rang abruptly.
“Who? Who dares to trespass into the Ice Demon Shrine!
ng Lei stopped and realized that there was a gigantic winged python chained by the door. Its body seed to be made of ice as it coiled up its massive body. The python’s stared at ng Lei as a cold glint flashed across its greenish eyes.
“Heaven Devouring Python of the Depths!”
ng Lei recognized this python. It was a divine beast that the Ice Demon Prefecture Master had caught to guard the shrine. It was as powerful as a normal Great Demon God.
“Archibald!” Master looked at the python and said, “The Ice Demon Prefecture Master you knew is now dead. The one standing before you is your new master!”
“What? Master is dead?”
The Heaven Devouring Python of the Depths was shaken as disbelief filled its eyes.
“You’re lying! How would my master die? Master ruled the prefecture, and it was a mid-level Great Demon God! Who could’ve killed it?”
“I killed it!”
ng Lei said calmly. “I killed your Prefecture Master, and the prefecture is now mine, including its wealth too. Well, seeing that you have guarded the shrine, I can let you live on the condition that you submit to .”
“My master is the mightiest I’ve seen. How could it be killed? You dare to fool !”
The Heaven Devouring Python of the Depths roared and opened its bloody mouth and bit toward ng Lei.
“Presumptuous!”
ng Lei frowned as he pointed his finger. A chilly current with a purple glint shot into the body of the python.
Crackle!
Ice ford on the Heaven Devouring Python of the Depths starting from its huge mouth. After a few monts, the enormous slithering body was frozen in light purple ice.
“Mysterious Ice of The Depths! This is the Mysterious Ice of The Depths!”
Dodola was a little shocked. “What the heck! How did you manage to use the signature Special Ability of the Frost Gods?”
“I accidentally awakened the Frost Gods bloodline a while ago,” ng Lei laughed as he explained.
“Accidentally...”
Dodola did not know what to say. It sighed. “You’re really assembling powerful bloodlines into one body!
“The Gods-Slaying Rat bloodline, Divine Netherworld Phoenix bloodline, Hundred-Ard Giant bloodline, the Frost Gods bloodline, and the Ancient Tree of Life bloodline!
“Monster! You’re a monster!”
“Thanks for the complint!”
ng Lei laughed and walked straight toward the shrine with Dodola following closely behind.
The door was pushed open; it was empty. However, ice elents were extrely rich here, making it an ideal place for cultivation.
And at the center of the shrine, there was a gigantic magic circle. ng Lei knew that this magic circle would lead him to the treasury existential plane.
Buzz...
ng Lei activated the magic circle and disappeared with Dodola. When they reappeared, they entered another world.
As far as the eye could see, it was a vast expanse of white. Icefields and white snow were everywhere, and there was no wind which made the place terrifyingly quiet.
There were only ice-elental laws of nature and ice elents here as this was an ice-elental half-plane.
“ng Lei, where are the treasures?” Dodola looked around and asked curiously.
“It can be as far away as being at the edge of the sky or as near as being right before your eyes.”
ng Lei waved his arm as the snow under his feet rose into the air. What was revealed was not the bare ground but densely packed chests.
These chests crafted from solid ice were gleaming with a chilly glint, as colorful sparkles of the treasures could be seen through the transparent ice. The wealth of the Ice Demon Prefecture Master was in these chests!
“Wow!”
Dodola exclaid softly as it flapped its wings and struck open an icy chest. It emitted a pure divine spirit wave as it contained Crystallized Divine Spirit Extracts.
A chest that was full of Crystallized Divine Spirit Extracts!
ng Lei had obtained them before, but they were always picked up one by one in the past—when had he ever seen a full chest of Crystallized Divine Spirit Extracts?
For a mont, ng Lei’s eyes were imdiately fixed. “So... So many Crystallized Divine Spirit Extract!”
“Crystallized Divine Spirit Extracts are extrely rare resources which normal higher deities wouldn’t have much savings. Now there’s so many stocked up here!”
Dodola was rather stunned by the sight.
“Nice! Got to keep all these!”
ng Lei kept this chest of Crystallized Divine Spirit Extract and continued opening each chest as more treasures were revealed.
“So many Laws of Nature Origin Crystals?”
“Keep! Keep them!”
“Divinity Crystals this ti!”
“Keep! Keep! Keep...”
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Chests of Laws of Nature Origin Crystals vanished.
Chests of Divinity Crystals vanished.
ng Lei’s wealth spiked rapidly once again. When the count finally paused, his Wealth had grown to an astonishing 397.6 million Divinity Crystals.
“Yes! I’ve struck a true jackpot today!”
ng Lei spoke to himself as his speech beca incoherent in excitent.
“Stop laughing foolishly and look at this!”
Watching ng Lei’s silliness of an upstart, Dodola could not help but yell at him.
“What?”
ng Lei flew over as he saw a chest of colorful crystals that gave off gushing laws of nature power. They were without a doubt, laws of nature fragnts.
However, this chest of laws of nature fragnts was very much different from those ng Lei had collected in the past.
“These are fusion laws of nature fragnts!”
Dodola’s eyes were shining brightly. “Two-colored ones are double-elental fusion laws of nature fragnts, three-colored ones are triple-elental fusion laws of nature fragnts, as such four-colored ones are quad-elental.
“Of course, the four-colored ones are really rare as there are close to none of them.”
“Fusion laws of nature fragnts?”
ng Lei’s eyes lit up.
He did not think too much of the double-elental fusion laws of nature fragnts since he had already assimilated so many of them.
He was looking for triple-elental and quad-elental fusion laws of nature fragnts, especially the quad-elental ones.
