Chapter 317: Lightning Is The Only Way!

......

[Ding! Your Battle Power has tremendously improved!]

[Ding! Your Battle Power has achieved the very epitome of the Half-Step High-Universal Realm!]

[Ding! Due to the efforts of your other half, your cultivation has increased during the time that you have been looking through your system notifications!]

WAAA!

[Ding! Your cultivation has broken through to the Half-Step High-Galactic Realm!]

Following all of the most recent system notifications, Azmodeus took some time to appraise the current situation of the Starry Expanse.

"Even though the entire place has been penetrated like a whore on Christmas, there is still a lot more loot to be had. So, to make things simple, why don't I just go Atomic- Just kidding... lol." Shaking his head at the naivety of some people, he decided to try something else this time around.

'The last few map areas, I kinda just went supernova and called it too easy, gg's. But this round, I think I will use something a little different...'

'Atomic Slash, was it?'

Getting into a slashing stance, Azmodeus bent his legs back and held onto the handle of Excalibur in katana form.

Gathering up all the energy he had inside his Dantian Space, he directed it all toward the very tip of Excalibur. Then, after accumulating every High-Star Law, his Singularity Physique, Singularity Trait, and Scythe Slash into this move, he positioned his body even lower than before.

OUNG—

Feeling the essence of the void that encapsulated the Starry Expanse, Azmodeus let out a couple cold breaths of air. Then, as quick as a flash of lightning, he unsheathed Excalibur and slashed out at the Elden God's and the Starry Expanse!

SLASH———SHING! SHING! SHING!

When the slash made contact with the void, it split up into an untold number of individual slices. Then, without the slightest ounce of resistance, the Starry Expanse was cleaved in two!

From an outside perspective, the Starry Expanse was like a bright, constantly flashing cloud of stars. And then, out of nowhere, the cloud was bisected!

Leaving both halves to crackle and spasm, the sword slash relentlessly continued its advance, even while in the infinite void outside the Starry Expanse.

It was only after the sword arc dispersed that Azmodeus received the opportunity to appraise the damage.

One might believe that something like this actually had the chance of satisfying him—!

"Not enough... Not right..." Getting back into the same slashing position, Azmodeus repeatedly mumbled how it wasn't good enough.

"It was supposed to be diced up into countless tiny pieces! But instead of such a dope-ass result, this weak sauce display is what I get!?"

[Ding! After erasing the lives of countless existences ranging from the Mortal Realm to the High-Universal Realm, you have received a large number of Physiques and Traits!]

[Ding! Your Singularity Physique and Singularity Trait have had their shackles broken, meaning that they have both advanced into the XR Rank! Furthermore, they have jumped straight to Level 2 of the XR Rank!]

[Ding! Your Battle Power has tremendously improved!]

[Ding! You have automatically converted the loot of all the existences you killed. As a result of this and the Loot Essence you already had in the backlog, your Loot God Nourishment Rate has advanced to '58.5%'.]

[Ding! You have successfully fulfilled the requirements necessary to activate your next Loot God Racial Trait!]

"Wait, not again...-"

[Ding! The host does not need to worry about going unconscious this time around, lol. As opposed to the last time, only a single thing will be changed about your existence!]

[Ding! You have received the 'Automatic Cultivation Acquisition' Loot God Racial Trait. This trait will allow you to permanently assimilate the cultivation bases of anyone or anything you kill!]

[Ding! If before it was random and didn't always activate, then now it has become a permanent and vital part of your existence!]

[Ding! This has already been used on all the existences you erased in the Starry Expanse. Therefore, your cultivation has made yet another large jump, reaching the |2nd Order High-Galactic (Early) Realm|]

[Ding! Your Battle Power has improved by leaps and bounds, permitting you to pass over into the |2nd Order High-Universal (Initial) Realm|]

[Ding! Due to the various alterations made to the Laws that dictate all Loot, you have received a large number of Loot Halos, ranging from the White Tier to the Green Tier!]

[Ding! After automatic conversion, you have successfully obtained 5,000 Green Tier Loot Halos!]

[Ding! Your Loot Boost Acquisition Rate has been improved to '5 Septillion%'!!]

"Ahh... Umu?"

Looking over the numerous system notifications, Azmodeus realized that things had worked out quite well in his favor. After all, with 'Automatic Cultivation Assimilation', he would no longer have to worry about sparing even the trace parts of a loot bag's existence.

"Well, with this in my arsenal and a Battle Power in the 2nd Order High-Universal Realm, I have all that I need to begin traversing the great expanse of void beyond this tiny place."

Staring out at the all-encompassing void around him, Azmodeus couldn't help but expect the delicious loot that hid around every corner and crevice!

FWIP!

With his figure vanishing from its spot, he and all his clones darted through the boundless void.

Aiming to find any signs of life, they split up and scoured everything in sight.
