Chapter 352: Grade 2 Golden Immortal Realm

...

After lobbing the terrifying Pandemonium Cleaver over his shoulder, Azmodeus had a sudden increase in speed kick in. He pulled himself forward at what looked like a blur of crimson lightning, quickly finding himself very deep into the intestines of the Land Stomper.

Upon looking up and seeing a wild mess of internal organs, he moved swiftly and devastatingly. As veins began to show and pop on his muscular arms, he put everything he had into this attack!

RUMBLE!!!

The power contained within that menacing blade was enough to violently shake the insides of the Land Stomper. Right away, the creature noticed this unusual occurrence inside its body, but unfortunately, it was far too late to do anything about it.

As its head and body parts poked back out of its shell, a dark red blot of light could be seen expanding within it!

"Roooarrghhh!!!!!"

The Land Stomper started to freak out and thrash around, decimating a few mountain ranges in its rage. But no matter what sort of tantrum it threw, the damage had already been dealt...

|Pandemonium Slash|

Being the evolved version of |Scythe Slash|, this technique was the true pinnacle of Azmodeus's efforts thus far!

It was with this technique that the bright blot of crimson light reached an all-time high. It reached a point where the innards and outards of the powerful beast could no longer hold on. Completely out of expectations, the huge turtle exploded in a large mass of blood and guts!

After dying the land red for as far as the eye could see, all that remained of the mighty turtle was its lonesome blood-stained shell. Being the size of a mountain range, it would surely make for a good set of armor...

"..."

While standing atop the shell like an aloof immortal, Azmodeus watched as the system automatically absorbed the cultivation and essence of the Land Stomper. Then came the system notifications...

BLING!

[Ding! You have killed a Land Stomper Immortal Beast of the Grade 1 Golden Immortal Realm. The reward is 10.3 million Immortal Evolution Essence!]

[Ding! You have obtained 9.8 million Immortal Power!]

[Ding! Your Battle Power has tremendously improved!]

[Ding! You have automatically converted the cultivation base of the Land Stomper to your own.]

[Ding! Your cultivation has advanced to 'Grade 4 Heavenly Immortal (Early)]

[Ding! After automatic loot conversions, your Loot God Nourishment Rate has improved to '0.19%']

[Red Tier Loot Halos: 131,000 (655,000%)]

—-------

"Ai... Well, I think it's about time I invest in some more Immortal Lines and get my Battle Power even higher!"

Following through with this train of thought, Azmodeus dumped 60% of his current Immortal Evolution Essence into buying Immortal Lines. From this purchasing spree, he was able to acquire 650,000+ White Tier Immortal Lines!

Upon looking at his Immortal Energy multiplier once more, he saw that it had achieved a staggering 1.4 million multiplicative affecter!

WAAA!

At once, his Battle Power was sent straight to the moon!

From the 'Grade 1 Golden Immortal (Initial)' to the 'Grade 2 Golden Immortal (Early)', the advancements were palpable!

While clenching and unclenching his fists, Azmodeus muttered, "With this level of strength, I can most definitely start taking on the lower level B-Rank quests, though I will need to go through with that rank up before such a thing could happen."

Putting his thoughts into action, he vanished from his spot and returned to the Immortal Hunter's Branch Office. After half a minute, he found himself entering the building. Walking up to Ru Ling, the first thing he said was, "Hey..."

Azmodeus... Well, he had next to no idea how exactly he should be interacting with this brown-haired beauty. If he had it his way, he would ignore all people like the plague and continue the grind with no distractions.

But since that was not an option in this world...

"Nice to see you again, Azmodeus! I was beginning to think that you got lost out there..."

Exhibiting a clear level of worry, Ru Ling held her cheek and visibly pouted in front of the God of Loot. However, as if falling on deaf ears, Azmodeus placed his arm on the table. Seeing no real reaction out of the large, muscular man, Ru Ling's pout became genuine. Still, her job was first and foremost; therefore, she took out the scanner and scanned his bracelet.

After receiving all relevant information transmitted from the bracelet, she displayed a shocked expression. Even though she had seen his unbelievable feats many times before, it was always something to behold each and every time.

Having long since assumed that Azmodeus was hiding his strength and that he definitely wouldn't appreciate someone snitching on him, she took it upon herself to keep his secret. It was a secret just between the two of them, and for some reason, she liked it that way.

"..."

While blankly staring at the woman, Azmodeus was immediately able to tell what sort of thoughts were swirling around within her mind. And for the life of him, he wished that nobody would again think about him that way.

The last time he allowed himself to be careless and take in any girl that had those thoughts, well...

'This time is not like the times before... Do not allow yourself to be stupid, Azmodeus. Perpetual progression... that is all that truly matters.'
