"I wonder what's been troubling Saint One lately."

"Although he hasn't shown any emotion these past few days, we've been by his side for so long. We've followed Saint One since we were just children, so how could we not notice?"

The white-robed special envoy took a drink of cheap wine in a courtyard before turning to the black-robed envoy beside him. "It pains me to see Saint One so worried."

"He saved us from the chaos of war back then... He raised us to our current level, yet we've been unable to do anything for him."

"Perhaps it would be presumptuous of us to ask about certain things, but I think we're the closest people to Saint One, the only ones he might confide in."

The black-robed envoy nodded silently. "Mmm..."

"The Sect Leader has gone through Reincarnation for so long, what hasn't he seen? For him to be so distracted, it can't be about a woman."

"Could it be about... Reincarnation?"

The white-robed special envoy refilled his cup. "You mean..."

"Sigh... Whether Saint One can still go through Reincarnation or not, I've sworn to follow him to the death."

"It has nothing to do with Reincarnation."

The black-robed special envoy also nodded. "Mmm, even if the Sect Leader can no longer reincarnate, he's the same in my eyes."

...

RUMBLE—

A giant tree snapped at its roots!

Lu Cang floated in the sky, holding the Void Spirit Star Ring Battle Spear, and let out a long breath.

'Thank goodness... This tree-type Demon might be Tier Seven, but it still has the typical traits of tree-type Demons from Demonology. Its weaknesses are the same.'

'It seems knowledge really is useful.'

'Using my brain to deal with these giant trees saved me a lot of effort.'

Lu Cang twirled his Void Spirit Star Ring Battle Spear. Behind him, towering giant trees, oozing a blood-red, gem-like liquid, now stood manifest.

'Sacrificing about fifty thousand souls allows me to directly use "Extreme" to punch through with "Source", penetrating the inside of the trunk and then blowing the whole thing apart from within.'

'This tree's defense is even tougher than I imagined.'

'If I attacked from the outside, most of the damage would probably be nullified.'

'Maybe not just most of it. It could probably nullify over ninety percent of the force, impact, bludgeoning, and other types of destruction.'

'Only slicing and piercing attacks are slightly more effective against it.'

'But only slightly.'

'As expected of a Tier Seven Demon, it's in a class of its own.'

'Even these giant trees on the outskirts, which are like cannon fodder, take some effort to kill.'

After clearing out a dozen or so giant trees and carving out a relatively clean area, Lu Cang returned to the Dungeon entrance.

He came to the side of a trace of Light.

Bending down, he reached out to touch the faint mark of Light.

The moment he touched it, he felt a burning pain in his flesh, more intense than a normal cut.

Lu Cang watched as his finger was continuously destroyed and then restored.

A liquid-like mark of Light remained on his skin, and even as his body constantly regenerated, it couldn't erase the trace.

Instead, the mark followed his regenerating flesh and burrowed deeper inside.

It was like a piece of red-hot molten iron seeping into his body.

Tsk...

'What a domineering attack.'

'Even after so long, the after-effects can still cause this much damage?'

SHWISH!

Lu Cang raised his spear and brought it down.

In an instant, he had chopped off his entire arm.

As the arm hit the ground, the Light continued to seep deeper into it.

At the same time, because the arm was severed from Lu Cang's main body, it lost its ability to regenerate. In a very short time, it was scorched by the Light and incinerated as if by Holy Fire.

By touching the trace, Lu Cang also perceived the corresponding information.

'Permanent burn, adherence, holy, Purification, cutting, incinerates all.'

'Creator, Sword of Purifying Fire and Judgment.'

'A Divine Artifact... bestowed by Zuya, and once used by Moon?'

'Divine Artifact... I've never really heard of such a thing.'

'Although, based on the name, I can guess what it does.'

'But I've rarely seen the term in any ancient texts or reference books.'

'Churches usually have things called "Holy Artifacts," which are far more effective than ordinary treasures. The Holy Artifact I got from Zuoyu's Church back then was roughly equivalent to a Tier Seven or higher item, imbued with the Church's special blessing...'

'Tier Seven is already considered a top-tier item in this world.'

'Because there aren't many Tier Eight things in this world.'

'A Tier Eight Dungeon alone is practically unheard of, let alone Tier Eight equipment and materials, which would never appear in a remote sea region like the Secret Sand Archipelago.'

'So, Tier Seven is basically the upper limit for what the various Church branches can get their hands on.'

'A true Tier Eight Holy Artifact might only be found at the headquarters for an entire sea region.'

'And a Divine Artifact?'

'I've really never heard of anything daring to call itself a Divine Artifact.'

'If my life in this Otherworld were a novel, then up until chapter 243, I would have never heard the term "Divine Artifact" from any professional books or reliable experts.'

'It sounds so damn powerful. I wonder if I'll have a chance to get my hands on this Divine Artifact.'

A faint trace of greed rose in Lu Cang's heart.

But soon, that greed turned into caution.

'But I have to be careful not to get killed by them.'

'The weapon's wielder... her name is Yelieya, is it?'

Lu Cang recalled the white-haired, golden-eyed girl with Divinity whom he had observed yesterday.

'It seems she's the only one in this Dungeon who has truly managed to injure these Demons.'

Lu Cang's Perception swept through the entire Dungeon, capturing numerous chaotic auras. There were faint traces of Qi and Blood left from the use of Combat Skills, as well as faint magical imprints from cast Magic.

These traces had already dissipated in the air to the point of being almost unrecognizable.

But Lu Cang still managed to capture a few of them.

As his gaze swept over the area, what had happened here began to reconstruct itself in his mind.

'The probing Warriors... they must belong to the Atlantis City Defense Army.'

'The Warriors were heavily wounded and retreated. Then they received treatment outside, and the second group to enter was from the Light Church...'

'The Light Church, only three people came in?'

'The other two didn't make a move. The only one who did was her.'

Lu Cang plucked a mote of Light Element from the air—an extremely pure speck of light. After he touched it, it reverted to an extremely pure, lustrous drop of Magic Power.

'So this is her Magic Power... Mmm, I'll remember it.'

'It seems she's not purely a Mage.'

'The Magic she can use...'

Lu Cang's gaze swept over the entire space again.

'Celestial Punishment Purification, a Light Element Forbidden Technique.'

'Right, it's not surprising she knows that spell. She also knows some Light Element Protective Techniques.'

'I need to prepare some ways to counter the Light Element.'

'And besides Yelieya, I also need to learn about that mysterious guy from the Lucky Church... An heir of Luck. I have a feeling his methods will be bizarre.'

Lu Cang felt that the two types of enemies he hated most were Divination Masters and Luck Element opponents.

Lu Cang wasn't worried at all about enemies who could fight him head-on; there was always a way.

But these Luck types, who basically cheat, Lu Cang found them disgusting to fight.

Lu Cang turned his head to look deeper into the Dungeon.

He didn't know how deep this Dungeon was. In any case, even probing with his 20,000-kilometer Perception Range, he couldn't see the end yet.

Ever since the Level 6 Nest Cave, the scope of the nest caves had been getting larger and larger.

The boundaries of the Level 6 Nest Cave could still be calculated after verification.

According to Iz's calculations, the Level 6 Nest Cave was about the size of the distance between the Ruelun Continent and the Tengge Continent.

But this current Level 7 Nest Cave... it felt truly endless.

However, he could very clearly sense the position of the Nest Cave's ruler.

'In any case, I should at least take care of the entire Dungeon...'

He had created this Dungeon, so he would be the one to deal with it.

Lu Cang at least had the basic decency not to leave a mess for the continent he was staying on.

BANG—

In a flash, Lu Cang transformed into a swift streak of white light!

In just a few moments, he had already shot high into the sky, arriving far above the treetops!

Breaking through a height of over eight thousand kilometers!

Below him, countless treetops formed a dense canopy, obscuring the entire sky like a sea of clouds.

And the moon in the sky was not red.

It was a forest green, an eerie shade of green.

Just by looking at this moon, Lu Cang felt as if his body was about to sprout and grow into a large tree!

But he had no sense of crisis.

This was just a spontaneous feeling... not something that would actually happen.

He wasn't really going to grow into a tree.

Lu Cang leaped high into the sky, and then, with instantaneous, extreme speed!

He abruptly chopped down!

"Invincible Stream—Sixth Form: Deliberate Celestial Splitting Fall!"

"Power Burst—Celestial Cutting Double Break!"

「Secret of Cutting」

WHOOSH—

BOOM!

Lu Cang was seen dragging an extremely long stream of light, cleaving down from the sky, through the canopy, and toward the earth!

The blow was immensely powerful!

In the past, he couldn't use the power-up Combat Skills of the Invincible Stream, but now, his strength was finally sufficient. Lu Cang could at last try some of the Combat Skill variations derived from the Invincible Stream!

As the blow fell!

Countless vines that coiled toward Lu Cang, innumerable blood-red leaves that shot at him, and even the sonic booms that roared from openings on the tree's trunk—

all were blasted away by this single chop!

The blast wave from the Power Burst forced everything to part to the sides!

Not a single leaf touched him; the vines all snapped!

Even the incoming shockwaves were pushed away by the blast wave, booming into the distance!

Although Lu Cang's War Spear only cut one meter deep!

the terrifying Slicing Blade Qi had completely split the entire tree in two as it descended!

BOOM!

Lu Cang finally landed.

He twirled his spear to sheathe it, holding it horizontally behind his back.

What remained before him was a completely sundered tree.

'It seems... Chi Cheng's Invincible Stream is truly something else. As long as your strength reaches a certain realm, you can use Combat Skills to amplify that power by hundreds or thousands of times.'

'It's just that the requirements to reach that level of strength are far too demanding.'

The soul of the tree was extracted.

It transformed into a new giant tree behind Lu Cang.

'How interesting... Roadside rabbits and ordinary ants don't have souls, but here in the Dungeon, a tree does.'

'Each of these trees should be capable of destroying the entire continent of Miselux, right?'

'Would these be considered Submerged Land Level?'

'However, other Tier Seven Reincarnators should also be able to vanquish this tree.'

'I feel that according to Lorren's classification, they should be downgraded to Nation Destruction Level, or perhaps King Level.'

Lu Cang thought of the Warrior named Ruga who guarded Atlantis City. That Warrior had fought him before in a simulation, and Lu Cang believed these Demons wouldn't be able to get past Ruga.

Lu Cang continued to explore deeper. The further in he went, the paler the red color became.

It gradually shifted from crystalline red to pale pink, and from pale pink to pure white.

The Sea of Trees behind Lu Cang also grew larger and larger.

Lu Cang could clearly feel that the further in he went, the smaller and more fragile the trees became.

After killing about fifty more trees, Lu Cang finally arrived in a pure white land.

He saw a pure white tree wreathed in countless halos, connecting heaven and earth.
