The Evil Awakening Ritual.
This ritual could shift a demon tide more toward the Evil Soul type, causing it to spawn more Evil Soul-type Demons.
At the same time, it could also transform a Dungeon into an Evil’s Nest.
’There’s no other way...’
This was the type of Nest Lu Cang was best at countering.
Against other Nests, Lu Cang could fight them at best, but he held no particular advantage.
However, Lu Cang knew how to perform the Insect Awakening Ritual, the Twin Awakening Ritual, and the Giant Nest Awakening Ritual.
This also meant Lu Cang could now summon a Dungeon of a corresponding Level at will.
At most, he could perhaps summon a Tier Seven Dungeon.
But to be safe, Lu Cang had never actually tried it.
Although his own raw power wasn’t enough to destroy the entire continent, Lu Cang estimated that his soft power—his ability to summon various Demons and call forth Dungeons—already gave him that capability.
Moreover...
Lu Cang sensed the 112 billion souls he had already stored.
He had no idea what level of destructive power this Pure White Descent ritual possessed.
This ritual was Lu Cang’s ultimate ace in the hole, the confidence he needed to flip the table—perhaps even on An Zheng.
Lu Cang didn’t perform a Sacrifice on the Dungeon.
Instead, he walked into it.
The fog inside the Dungeon was slightly thinner. It seemed the Moon’s influence was significantly weakened within a Nest.
His Perception swept across the area. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Through the thick fog, Lu Cang saw many Lord Level Tier Six Demons.
However, those Demons hadn’t noticed his arrival.
The fog not only concealed intelligent beings but also obscured the senses of Demons.
’Hmm... The passage is fine.’
Lu Cang left a bit of "Source" at the entrance to the passage as a contingency.
Then, a creature covered in threads and slime was summoned by Lu Cang’s side.
[Kitba (Submerged Land Level)]
As its feet touched the ground, the earth instantly sprouted countless white, mycelium-like substances.
The distant Tier Six Demons had yet to realize what was happening.
The mycelium crawled up from their feet, which were in contact with the ground, and gradually covered their entire bodies, corroding them from the inside out.
Simultaneously, the mycelium began to corrupt their souls.
SIZZLE—
Lu Cang strolled forward to explore.
After obtaining the "Source of Calamity," Lu Cang and Chi Cheng had explored many Tier Six Dungeons.
In the process, Lu Cang had naturally acquired several Submerged Land Level Undead.
Currently, in Lu Cang’s Little Nether Realm, there were over fifty Tier Six Submerged Land Level Undead.
There were disparities even among the Submerged Land Level, but these differences were mostly in their unique characteristics. When it came to actual combat power, it all came down to who countered whom more effectively.
Lu Cang, however, had never seen a Tier Six Demon higher than the Submerged Land Level.
It seemed only the Ten Thousand True Souls had a part of its body taken to the Demonologists at the White Tower for appraisal.
Ultimately, their conclusion was that it was an existence infinitely close to the level above Submerged Land. However, it was still confined within the Submerged Land Level. Had it been given more time to grow, it might have truly broken through.
It was a pity he hadn’t been able to refine it into a Dead Soul.
This was a stone forest, with bizarrely shaped rocks towering everywhere.
A Tier Six Dungeon was vast, far exceeding the area of an ordinary city.
If Low Level Adventurers were to enter, they would have a hard time just finding the final Guardian in this maze-like place, let alone dealing with the powerful Demons.
Under normal circumstances, a Level 3 Mage’s Perception Range was only a few hundred meters.
Lu Cang’s Perception Range was only so vast because of the buff from his Void Spirit Star Ring Battle Spear.
Without this War Spear, his current Perception Range, even after training, would be less than ten kilometers.
He did, however, find a place that required solving a puzzle.
Sometimes, even if the Demons in these Dungeons weren’t strong, the puzzle rooms would still contain plenty of good rewards.
Lu Cang arrived at a stone circle.
In the center was a massive stone, and surrounding the stone circle were the corpses of many Demons lying on the ground.
Even before Lu Cang had arrived, Kitba had already finished them all off.
Kitba was a soul extractor that spread mycelium. The mycelium would parasitize its enemies, then gnaw away at and devour their souls.
Given enough time, it could spread its mycelium over a vast area, eventually covering the entire continent...
Submerged Land Level Demons.
Essentially, every single one of them possessed enough destructive power to annihilate all life on the continent.
With a thought, many more Undead materialized around Lu Cang.
This time, however, the Undead that appeared were just some Tier Six King Level fodder.
"Bring all the fresh corpses over here."
Lu Cang ordered softly.
SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH!
The dark figures around him vanished one after another.
Then, Lu Cang looked at the surrounding megaliths.
’This stone circle... do I have to move the different stones to solve a puzzle? Ugh, what a pain.’
Lu Cang looked at the stone in the very center and extended a hand.
VMMMM—
The Restriction sealing the megalith was undone by Lu Cang.
With a loud RUMBLE, the megalith shattered, revealing a resplendent golden treasure chest.
As the scriptures of the Lucky God Sect say, a world without randomness is a boring one. Therefore, Yakadikto, the god of luck, buried special little treasures all across the world.
Those who find them will receive a surprising reward.
