“An invitation letter for the Hero Conference?”

Du Gang stared at the envelope in his hand, feeling slightly puzzled.

The Hero Conference, he knew, was a banquet hosted by Yan Ruyu, but why were they inviting him?

“Is this invitation real?”

He initially questioned its authenticity, given that he was originally from Earth, and was particularly wary of fakes and fraudsters.

At this moment, an entire day had passed since his promotion to the Third Tribulation Spirit God level. Just as dawn was breaking, he made this discovery.

“It’s not fake!”

Yao Zijie, who was on the side, shook his head, “I also received an invitation letter...”

He thought Du Gang was questioning why Yan Ruyu would invite him.

However, what concerned Du Gang was whether some unscrupulous characters had sent a fake letter to trick him out of his money.Nnêw n0vel chapters are published at novelhall.com

That said, after hearing what Yao Zijie had to say, he curiously inquired, “What do you mean?”

Yao Zijie chuckled, “Yan Ruyu isn’t just selecting Ninth Tribulation Spirit Gods. Yes, Ninth Tribulation Spirit Gods have more chances, but in reality, she isn’t limiting her selection based on cultivation levels...”

“So what does she look for?”

“Is it about looks? If so, I would win! Yan Ruyu is bound to be mine this time!” Long Aotian asked curiously, expressing utmost confidence in his own appearance, smugly glancing at the crowd around him.

Little Hawk King sneered and said, “Is Yan Ruyu really that superficial? I think she must be looking at our talents. In that case, I also have a good chance!”

Du Gang turned his head to look at them and asked curiously, “Do you guys also have invitation letters?”

“Hehe!”

Little Hawk King chuckled, and an envelope just like the one Du Gang held appeared in his hand.

“So, you guys have one too...”

Yao Zijie laughed, “Yan Ruyu is different from Li Gu. Her sole requirement is to choose a partner, so naturally the more, the merrier...”

At this time, Kong Xu shook his head, “No, although Yan Ruyu won’t limit the number of people, there will be people who will do it for her...”

With a puzzled expression on his face, Long Aotian asked, “What do you mean?!”

Kong Xu sneered, “What else could it be? Some guys just don’t want too much competition, so they will send people to eliminate some...”

“Eliminate?”

Frowning, Long Aotian asked, “Aren’t they afraid that Yan Ruyu won’t be pleased by such actions?”

“Heh!”

Kong Xu retorted, “Do you really think such people would get their hands dirty themselves?”

“These people are truly shameless!”

Visibly annoyed, Little Hawk King complained, “They have already reached the level of Ninth Tribulation Spirit Gods, not focusing on breaking through to become True Gods themselves, they’re here to compete with us...”

Kong Xu just laughed and asked, “How can you be so sure they aren’t trying to breakthrough to become True Gods?”

“In reality, many people only discover after reaching the level of Ninth Tribulation Spirit Gods that breaking through to become a True God is extremely difficult!”

“Actually, they resort to such tactics only because they are left with no other choice!”

“Of course, not everyone is doing this, but those who do are already big trouble for us...”

“In short, just be careful. Don’t let your guard down and fail!”

Upon hearing this, Yao Zijie nodded and suggested, “In that case, it’s better for us to separate. If we stay together, we’ll be easily swept up in a single wave!”

“Indeed!”

All present nodded. Since everyone had some secrets of their own, naturally, it was better for them to stay alone.

Meanwhile, Du Gang wasn’t in a rush, so he went to find Xiang Xinjian instead.

“Are you planning to return to the universe?”

Xiang Xinjian frowned, not understanding what Du Gang was implying.

Unaware that Du Gang had already advanced to the Third Tribulation Spirit God level, he’d been entirely engrossed in managing the various security issues of Happy Town for the last couple of days.

Du Gang smiled and answered, “Yes, since I now have three deities, I can allocate one to the universe...”

“What?”

Taken aback, Xiang Xinjian mistakenly thought he was hearing things and advised, “You have to understand that in the universe, you can’t cultivate your divine power...”

Laughing, Du Gang asked, “But I can still cultivate techniques, right?!”

Xiang Xinjian nodded but still looked thoughtful, “The only upside to being in the universe is that you can cultivate techniques slightly faster. This might be just everyone’s impression, but right now you should prioritize increasing your divine power. Going back to the universe isn’t your best choice...”

Faced with Du Gang’s possible departure, he felt a headache coming on.

However, Du Gang understood what he was saying. Knowing that Xiang Xinjian didn’t believe he had already reached the Third Tribulation Spirit God level, he spontaneously released the three deities from his body.

“Swoosh!” “Swoosh!” “Swoosh!”

The three deities instantly emanated their respective divine auras, causing Xiang Xinjian to shudder.

“You’ve reached the third tribulation?!!”

Feeling stunned, Xiang Xinjian finally realized that he hadn’t been hallucinating nor had Du Gang lost his mind...

He really had reached the third tribulation!

With three deities right before his eyes, there was no way they could be fake!

Du Gang’s current power was enough to turn the tide.

For him, possessing the Jie-Character Secret means he has great potential in combat. A slight increase in his foundational cultivation would lead him to possess very powerful combat ability.

And now, upgrading from a first tribulation to a third tribulation means he has a sixfold foundational coefficient bonus.

His Supreme Technique currently stands at 3%, with a basic coefficient of 300 Naer divine power, multiplied by six that’s 1,800 Naer divine power!

Under normal circumstances, his combat power would be 1,800 Naer, but with the Jie-Character Secret, his combat power multiplies tenfold, reaching 18,000!

“18,000, should be enough to instantaneously kill anyone at the divine spirit level, right?”

He felt confident that it should be no problem, but then he remembered how people like Long Aotian hid their power.

“Looking at it that way, they must also have methods to multiply their power...”

People like Long Aotian could only be considered the youngest generation, and the secret techniques they mastered might not be the strongest.

Those who were the current heads of their families, possessing the cultivation level of a nine tribulation divine spirit, could they have even stronger secret techniques?

It’s highly likely!

This meant that there were still people who could defeat him, and their numbers weren’t few.

He slightly curbed his inflated confidence and began to carefully observe the newcomer.

A nine tribulation divine spirit, with a combat power multiplier of 45. If his technique was at 2%, then his combat power limit would be 9,000, but if it were 3%, it would be 13,500.

And if this person also had a secret method for multiplying power?

Even if it was only twofold, it would greatly surpass him.

Du Gang realized that even at the third tribulation, he wasn’t entirely safe.

“Die!”

Just then, the man with the tattoo on his arm, who hadn’t seen Du Gang, suddenly launched a frighteningly powerful attack towards where Du Gang was hiding.

An attack that contained 10,000 units of Naer divine power!

He found me!

Du Gang was startled, but not flustered.

Jie-Character Secret, activate!

In such a situation, he couldn’t afford to hold back. The opponent was a nine tribulation divine spirit, if he wasn’t serious, he could really die here!

Ten times the combat power incoming!

At that moment, his maximum combat power soared to 18,000.

However, he didn’t broadcast this, instead he pretended to go all out and barely managed to dodge the incoming attack, then pretended to be utterly exhausted.

Sure enough, the opponent fell for it.

In fact, any nine tribulation divine spirit wouldn’t take killing a first tribulation divine spirit too seriously.

Moreover, the man was surprised by Du Gang’s ability to dodge him, but that was all.

“This time, I’ve caught a huge break!”

The tattooed man was very excited, successfully taking on such a mission not only meant money, but reputation!

Killing an Ancient God would bring great fame!

“How pitiable!”

As the tattooed man was closing in on Du Gang, he noticed the confusion and hesitation on Du Gang’s face

“Remember, your killer is Meng Gang from the Demon Domain!”

He was already guaranteed to win. If he couldn’t kill his enemy under such circumstances, he might as well not be alive.

“Shatter the Sky!”

With a roar, Meng Gang launched another attack, reaching 10,000 units of Naer divine power.

Now is the time!

Du Gang had been waiting for the moment when his opponent would let his guard down while releasing his attack.

With a move like a coiling dragon, he dodged the Shatter the Sky attack at an unexpected angle, then...

“World Creation!”

A mighty axe materialized with 18,000 units of Naer divine power.

“How is this possible?!!”

Meng Gang’s eyes bulged, veins throbbing, his eyes full of shock.

At this point, even if he wanted to defend, it was too late.

But he didn’t give up, suppressing his turbulent spirit and released a defensive technique.

It was too rushed!

“Boom!”

As he had suspected, the defensive technique that was close to 10,000 Naer divine power couldn’t withstand Du Gang’s mighty axe. As soon as they collided, the defense was shattered, and the axe swooshed past.

“Splat!”

This was not the sound of spitting blood, but the sound of his body and divine spirit being crushed to smithereens.

A powerful nine tribulation divine spirit from the Demon Domain had been killed without making a sound.

Of course, only one of his avatars was killed.
