399 Cathulhu Slays Some Dragons!
Chapter 399 – Cathulhu Slays Some Dragons!
Jungwoo and Xiaomao chatted for a while. The former excused himself first as he needed to visit his friends on Earth. Mao Xueyan and Mao Dandan also went ahead and teleported to the new game world.
Xiaomao was left alone with Lilith once again.
“Let’s go back to my dantian and train to the last minute, munya.”
“Good idea.”
.
.
An hour quickly passed. Xiaomao received a new game message.
<You will be teleported to the game world number 28. All your progress and items in guild warehouses and auction houses will carry on to the new world.>
WHOOSH
The blinding light sent Xiaomao into a wormhole. He opened his eyes and admired the rare spectacle of a light show. Flying through a hyperspace tunnel for a minute, Xiaomao’s body descended upon a massive green planet. From a glance, it was roughly the same size as the Solar System’s Sun.
A bigger planet always had an intense gravity. As soon as Xiaomao got close, he sensed the suction force. He saw himself entering the atmosphere and descending through ten layers of clouds.
BOOM
Xiaomao landed in the middle of a forest. He was unharmed.
Being wary of the surroundings, Xiaomao looked around. Lilith, Levy, and Lilim also exited Xiaomao’s dantian and formed a triangle formation, protecting their stepson.
The surrounding trees were massive. The smallest tree was about 100 meters in diameter, and its height reached the clouds in the sky. Moreover, the tree trunks glittered in gold as if they were Erdtrees. The branches spread high and wide, but none of them was within Xiaomao’s reach.
While everybody admired the gold trees, the game world sent them a message.
DING
<Welcome to the Emerald Sun, where quasi-deity dragons and dragonewts reside. The level cap of this world is set to 9,999. To raise your level higher than the cap, you must transcend the Netherworld Tribulation or complete the Ascension Ritual according to your race.>
<All newcomers are sent to a random location. You are in the middle of the Himiko Forest of the Yamato Country.>
pαпdα-ňᴏνêι·сóМ
Xiaomao dismissed the welcome messages. He looked at his legs and slowly walked. He lightly snorted.
“About 500 times the gravity of Earth. A bit weak, munya.”
Lilith, Levy, and Lilim flinched. When they were an immortal, 500 G-Force was nothing to them. However, considering that Xiaomao only cultivated for less than a year in real life, his words carried a different weight.
Lilith snickered. Mao Miaomiao spent more than a year reaching the immortal realm. If they included the time he spent in his dantian space and other irregular experiences, Mao Miaomiao trained for a billion years before he became an immortal. In short, Xiaomao’s growth rate was superior to his father’s.
However, Mao Miaomiao was known to possess a monstrous foundation and knowledge. He mastered karma techniques and compound elements when he was an immortal. If Xiaomao could master the same elements and techniques, he would surely surpass his father.
While the trio was busy comparing him to his father, Xiaomao scanned the forest around him and noticed that he was standing on an open-air stone shrine. In front of him, a 1-meter-tall abandoned stone sculpture of a dragonewt stood there.
The sculpture depicted a dragonewt maiden, carrying a newborn dragon in her arms. The little dragon had three eyes, two small wings, and a cute mouth as it smiled at the lady. However, inside its mouth was a glittering blue orb.
Xiaomao was attracted to the orb. He approached the sculpture and took a closer look at the thing in the mouth.
[Heavenly Fate Crystal]
Xiaomao: “…”
Lilith: “…”
Lilim: “…”
Levy: “…”
Readers: “…”
Everybody had the same question in their mind – Why was it there?
“Is this supposed to be easy to find, munya?” Xiaomao frowned.
Lilith shook her head, “Of course not. It isn’t something that lie around in the wild. A fate crystal is usually born and attached to the chosen one’s dantian. Even if a protagonist were to die, the orb always automatically evaporates within a week if no living creature or monster is around to inherit its power.”
“But judging from the dust of the sculpture and the overgrown grasses, this place should have been abandoned for over 100 years old, munya.”
While saying that, Xiaomao inserted his finger to scoop the orb from the dragon baby’s mouth.
VING!
Suddenly, the baby dragon’s eyes shone. Its mouth snapped and bit Xiaomao’s fingers.
Despite being bitten, Xiaomao blankly stared at the stone dragon baby, “This explains everything.”
RUMBLE
The open-air shrine trembled. Countless leaves fell from the tall trees, and the sounds of footsteps echoed in the massive forest.
A massive green dragon leisurely walked toward Xiaomao. It pushed the massive trees aside, and they fell one after another. Then, it glanced at the sculpture and stared at Xiaomao’s fingers, which got stuck in the baby dragon’s mouth.
The green dragon uttered in a deep voice, “Another angel rat bites the bait. We have a sacrifice for Lord Solomon tonight!”
RUMBLE
As soon as the red dragon finished his sentences, two more green dragons came out from the woods. They surrounded Xiaomao, Lilith, Lilim, and Levy.
Xiaomao narrowed his eyes and unsheathed Vehicle Sword and Wei Huang’s katana, getting ready to fight for his life.
Lilith bellowed, warning the dragons, “I’m Lilith, the True Ruler of the Netherworld Realm! Who are you calling my son a sacrifice?!”
The dragon sneered, “Lilith? Oh, you’re that loser? Sorry to say this, but your era is over. We, dragons, bow to no one. Those archangels and Joshua are not our masters! We are the race of the sovereigns, and we shall claim the universe as ours!”
“Fool! You have no idea how big the universe is! Stay down!”
“Sure. We’ll stand down if you manifest your physical body and bend over. We could use a few sluts for our seedbeds. BAHAHAHAHA!!”
Lilith gritted her teeth. She regretted that she didn’t have her physical body. Otherwise, she could have destroyed them instantly with a snort.
She looked at the level indicators above their heads. They were all level 9,500, which was the weakest standard on this planet. On the other hand, Xiaomao’s level was only 5,000 at the moment.
The gap was too large. Lilith’s expression turned dark.
“Mom, don’t give up on me yet, munya. You don’t know how strong your stepson truly is, munya.”
Xiaomao suddenly vanished. The next moment, a 100-meter-tall Cathulhu appeared in the sky along with his two weapons. His two tentacles coiled around his broadsword and katana, which also expanded its size to match Xiaomao’s size.
The three dragons looked up in astonishment. When they looked up, the two 150-meter-long weapons transformed into afterimages as Xiaomao swung them five times each.
Golden trees and long green dragon’s necks fell to the ground. The three dragons widened their eyes as they couldn’t sense Xiaomao’s attack at all.
The Cathulhu snorted, “Stupid lizards, munya. Don’t you know that cats do eat geckos and lizards?”
The beheaded dragons were not dead yet. They opened their mouth and tried to bellow, but no words came out of their mouth. They gasped for air as they tried to command their main bodies to retrieve their heads.
SWUA
SWUA
SWUA
Xiaomao leisurely swung his katana three times, hitting empty air. However, the bodies of the three dragons were cleaved in half!
“I take my words back, munya. Calling you lizards give you too many credits. You’re nothing but oversized geckos, munya.”
“…”
The green dragons, Lilith, Lilim, and Levy were speechless. The dragons stuttered as they tried to curse Xiaomao, but their consciousness faded before they could. As for the three moms in their spirit forms, they couldn’t believe that Xiaomao was capable enough to instant-kill three level-9500 dragons at once without breaking a sweat.
Xiaomao reverted to his angel form and shrank his two swords. He landed on the open-air shrine and put on the white robes of Wei Huang. Then, he turned his attention to the bait in the baby dragon sculpture.
Because of Xiaomao’s transformation earlier, the baby dragon’s mouth was broken. The lights in its eyes also faded.
Xiaomao picked up the heavenly fate crystal and checked its description. He raised it toward the sun.
Unfortunately, the game didn’t show him any item detail. It only told Xiaomao that it was a heavenly fate crystal. It didn’t even reveal if he could use it or not.
Xiaomao sighed. He had predicted it since it was Solomon’s world.
“I guess we have to play by Solomon’s rules until we can get out of here, munya.”
When Xiaomao turned around and looked at his stepmoms, he realized that he forgot something.
Lilith immediately questioned Xiaomao, “Since when?”
“When, what, munya?”
“Since when have you learned THAT domain?”
Xiaomao shrugged, “It was just a simple sword domain. Every nascent soul swordsman can do it, right, munya? You swing a sword randomly, and it automatically cuts your opponent where you want it to be cut. Convenient and OP, right?”
“But that was not regular sword domain!” Lilith couldn’t come up with the right words.
She knew about the techniques that Xiaomao had used earlier, but that was not a sword domain that regular swordsmen practiced.
It contained the Dao of Karma Severing, which only Lilith, Mao Miaomiao, Meng Xin, Mu-Nyang, and Solomon knew! It also negated and sealed the domain abilities of other deities. And lastly, the life force of the dragon ceaselessly flowed toward Xiaomao!
“I guess… Nihil, munya?”
