Chapter 519

Gu Ding picked up the black sphere that was slightly bigger than a basketball. Just by touching it, he could clearly feel the soul energy contained in the sphere.

The black puppy obviously wanted him to eat it, but he was a little hesitant because the soul energy contained in it was too strong, and he might not be able to withstand it.

The black puppy kept urging him to eat it. Gu Ding thought about it and decided that the puppy would not harm him, so he took a bite of it like a fruit. After a dozen bites, the black sphere was completely devoured.

After entering his stomach, a powerful soul energy spread out. Gu Ding's Devourer divine power automatically activated at the same time, forming a huge black hole that quickly devoured the energy.

Gu Ding, who thought his soul would explode, found that he did not feel any discomfort at all. In just two to three minutes, the huge energy was completely devoured.

A moment later, the black hole formed by the Devourer divine power in Gu Ding's body began to feed back a continuous stream of soul energy, constantly nourishing his soul. It felt warm, a hundred times more comfortable than soaking in a hot spring.

With the injection of the warmth, Gu Ding's soul strength began to increase rapidly.

In less than two minutes, his soul strength rose from Medium Level 2 to Medium Level 3.

As time passed, it continued to climb to Medium Level 4, Medium Level 5 … All the way to Medium Level 7 without any hindrance.

After reaching Medium Level 7, not only did the warmth not dissipate, it began to gradually increase. Gu Ding also planned to take this opportunity to increase his soul strength to Higher Level deity. He gathered the warmth in his body. Waves of energy continued to accumulate until it reached its limit and suddenly exploded.

His entire soul trembled, and his soul strength of Medium Level 7 broke through in one fell swoop. Not only did it rush to Higher Level deity, but it also rushed to Upper Level 2.

Only then did the warmth gradually recede.

The black puppy was already asleep by Gu Ding's feet. Gu Ding patted the black puppy's head to express his gratitude, then his consciousness returned to his body.

Gu Ding, who was floating in the void, slowly opened his eyes.

Now that his physical strength had reached Medium Level 7, his soul strength had reached Upper Level 2, and his God Source strength had reached Upper Level 1. This meant that when he used Shura Armageddon, he would use the weakest physical body as the standard. But even so, compared to his previous Soul Strength of a Two Star Intermediate Stage, his combat strength had increased by five small stages.

For a half-step True God, every increase of one star meant an increase of three small ranks in combat power. Gu Ding's combat effectiveness had steadily risen to the level of a peak three-star Half-Step True God even without the use of Devil's Face. He was not far from becoming a four-star. Previously, he had to use methods like the demon face in order to fight against Night Demon. Now, he had truly reached the same level of combat strength as Night Demon. Even if he didn't use the demon face, he might not lose.

"Those wraiths were swallowed by the thing in your body, weren't they?" Neptune immediately noticed that Gu Ding had become stronger.

"Hmm, my strength has increased slightly." Gu Ding nodded and smiled in satisfaction. This time, the ancient ruins could be said to be a really good harvest. "Get Lily and the others to collect all the soul crystals. There shouldn't be anything in the lake that can threaten them."

Having said that, Gu Ding sped toward the lake.

When Lilliath and the others received Neptune's notice, they revealed themselves from their hiding spots and began to plunder.

Half an hour later, Gu Ding reappeared above the lake.

Everyone by the lake was talking about it.

"It's that human. Didn't he escape from the wraiths just now? How did he come back unscathed? Don't tell me those wraiths came after him?! "A Dark Generation Tribesman looked in other directions in the sky but did not see any trace of him.

On the side of the human camp, there were also whispers.

"It was Gu Ding who escaped just now. Why did he come back? Where are those wraiths? "

"The wraiths didn't come back. They must have been killed by Gu Ding," said a young man who seemed to have some blind admiration for Gu Ding.

"What do you know, kid? The two wraiths just now had a cultivation level of half-step True God. Platinum wraiths were different from Platinum Skeletons. Platinum Skeletons' consciousness strength might only be that of an Extreme Deity. As long as the soul attack was strong enough, it could be killed. However, Platinum wraiths were different. They were spirit bodies and were immune to physical attacks. Moreover, their soul strength and cultivation level were both half-step True God. Gu Ding isn't a powerhouse who specializes in soul cultivation. Even if he was promoted to deity, I don't believe he could kill such powerful wraiths, "a middle-aged man who was obviously more experienced said. His analysis was actually true.

"Then how do you explain why those wraiths didn't come after us?" The young man retorted, somewhat unconvinced.

"This …" The middle-aged man was a little speechless at the question.

"Look, Gu Ding is heading toward the people from the Dark Tribe," someone suddenly shouted.

The others immediately stopped arguing and looked in the direction the man was pointing.

Gu Ding slowly landed not far from the Dark Generation and said, "Leave behind all your temporary Inventory Spaces and you can go."

"He really is an Interstellar Pirate. How dare he openly rob …" someone from the human camp could not help but mutter.

"Human, don't think that you can be so arrogant just because you've been promoted to deity!" The tallest young man from the Dark Generation stood up and roared at Gu Ding.

"I don't think I'm being arrogant. I'm stronger than all of you. Isn't it natural for me to rob you? Besides, I'm an Interstellar Pirate. I'm already being very polite by not killing anyone. If you were an Interstellar Pirate from the human camp, you wouldn't have been able to leave alive. "Although Gu Ding's explanation was more straightforward, it was also the truth.

"Hmph, he's just a Lower Rank deity. Everyone, let's attack him together! Kill him! "The tall young man waved his hand and called out. A group of people also rushed toward Gu Ding.

Gu Ding's body swayed for a moment and he heard the Dark Generation wailing.

A moment later, the eleven Dark Generation Tribesmen were piled up into a human mountain by Gu Ding. They were covered in black blood.

Gu Ding did not kill them. He only tore off their arms that were wearing temporary Inventory Spaces. He took off their rings one by one and kept them in his Inventory Space. Then, he threw their arms aside.

The group of people from the human camp were a little frightened. Although Gu Ding did not kill anyone, it was still bloody enough to tear their arms off their bodies.

"He's walking toward us … Don't tell me he wants to rob us too …" The golden-haired young man who did not like Gu Ding earlier shouted in fear.

"Shut up, you idiot!" The middle-aged man reprimanded. If Gu Ding did not have such thoughts, he might have wanted to rob them as well after hearing that.

Gu Ding walked toward the group of people step by step. He stopped two or three meters away and said, "There are basically no more wraiths above Gold Level in this lake. If you think you're strong enough, you can go down and search for the soul beads. As long as you're careful, there shouldn't be much danger. "

"Thank you!" The middle-aged man was obviously the most experienced. He was the first to respond.

The others were about to go down the lake when the golden-haired young man from before spoke again, "Gu Ding, you're telling us this information with bad intentions, aren't you? Otherwise, who would give away these treasures? If it's really as you say, you can go down the lake yourself and search for all the treasures. There's no need to tell us. "

Gu Ding glanced at the golden-haired young man, then turned to look at the others. "This lake gets wider the further down we go. There are a lot of soul beads. Our crew won't be able to collect them all in a short time. We don't plan to stay too long either."

After Gu Ding finished speaking, his gaze fell back on the golden-haired young man. He added, "Also, the things that are treasures in your eyes are just ordinary cultivation resources in our eyes. The soul beads can only enhance a person's soul strength to that of a higher deity at most. In this lake, the only things that we can treat as treasures are those few soul crystals. "

After listening to Gu Ding, the group of people muttered in their hearts, "So it's leftovers from the meat. Let's have some soup too …"

"Let's go, let's go! Let's go get the soul beads! " The middle-aged man waved his hand and shouted. He was also worried that the golden-haired young man would say something else to annoy Gu Ding. If that happened, forget getting soup, he might not even be able to keep his life.

The golden-haired young man saw the look in Gu Ding's eyes and felt a little scared. He did not dare to say anything else and followed the team into the lake resentfully.

Gu Ding stood where he was, sorting out his inherited memories while waiting patiently for Lilliath and the others to finish searching.

After about an hour or so, Lilliath and the others came out of the water.

"Hehe, we've fished out all the soul crystals!" Dockett smiled at Gu Ding from afar.

"Then let's get ready to go to the next treasure spot!" Gu Ding nodded.

"Hey, Gu Ding, your soul strength …" Lilliath was the first to notice something unusual.

Neptune did not explain in detail to Lilliath and the others what had happened to Gu Ding. He only said that there was a vengeful spirit riot in the lake and told them to hide.

After hearing Lilliath's question, Gu Ding told her what had happened.

"A peak five-star half-step true god-level vengeful spirit was swallowed just like that?!" Lilliath was extremely envious after hearing it. "No wonder your soul strength increased by a whole grade … Although my soul is strong, I can at most deal with a two-star half-step true god-level. If I swallow this soul crystal and strengthen my soul again, I should be able to fight a three-star half-step true god-level. Even so, if I encounter the two vengeful spirits that were chasing you, I'll definitely die. "

"How's your combat effectiveness now?" Phaser was more concerned about this matter.

"About the same as Night Charm." Gu Ding did not hide it.

"It seems I'll have to find the next Sword Soul soon. If this goes on, I'll really become the weakest in the team." Phaser was a little depressed.

"Vengeful spirits too? If it's possible, let Neptune keep an eye out for powerful Sword Path vengeful spirits, "Gu Ding suggested.

"Yes, as long as they have remnants of consciousness." Phaser nodded.

"I've already found a few while you were talking. Phaser, what's the highest level you can absorb?" Neptune asked directly.
