Chapter 409: Eternal Divine Spirit, Big Golden Tree

The divine spirits of a higher Chief God and a lesser Chief God were entirely different. If Meng Lei had no confidence in killing the divine spirit of the Space Dominus, now he was 100% sure that he could finish off the divine spirit.

Why?

The difference between a Juggernaut and a higher Chief God was only half the comprehension of one supreme laws of nature, and Meng Lei already completely comprehended two.

“Kill! Grim Reaper’s Eye!”

Meng Lei opened the Grim Reaper’s Eye in between his brows as a tricolored divine light burst forth, aiming directly at the divine core of the Space Dominus.

Buzz!

The tricolored divine light penetrated the divine core and engulfed the divine spirit as it started to extract and separate it from the Space Dominus.

“Damn it!”

The Space Dominus was aghast as he struggled madly. Meng Lei let out a cold snort and used another Time Freeze on the Space Dominus, immobilizing him on the spot.

Whoosh!

Without resistance, Meng Lei extracted the divine spirit from the divine core effortlessly into his Grim Reaper’s Eye.

As the ‘pulverizer’ within the Grim Reaper’s Eye started to pulverize the divine spirit, Meng Lei felt the true extent of the strength of a Juggernaut’s divine spirit.

No matter how the ‘pulverizer’ tried to grind and crush it, the divine spirit of the Space Dominus was like a sticky candy that was too tough to swallow.

“A divine spirit modified by the Eternal Energy is that tough?” Meng Lei was dismayed.

“That’s a certainty!” Moro gave a faint smile. “The Eternal Energy is the same as the powers of supreme laws of nature. They are all undying substances that will never be destroyed. Divine spirits and divine bodies that were modified by Eternal Energy would share the same special attribute.

“See for yourself.”

Moro pointed to the Space Dominus’ divine core and said with a smile, “His head was slashed open by his spatial greatsword just now. But it only took a little while for his head to regenerate as if nothing had happened to it.”

Meng Lei looked over, and the head was indeed restored as before. It was sleek and smooth without any visible scars.

“That’s freaky indeed,” Meng Lei exclaimed. “But there’ll always be a way.”

“You know a way to destroy the Space Dominus’ divine spirit?” Moro raised an eyebrow as he asked.

“We’ll know once I try.” Meng Lei chuckled and ordered, “System, plunder the Eternal Energy within the Space Dominus’ divine spirit.”

“Ding! Plundering target: Divine spirit of the Space Dominus. Target substance: Eternal Energy. Plundering cost is estimated at 5,000 trillion Divinity Crystals.” The system asked coldly, “Will you plunder it?”

“…”

Meng Lei had an urge to curse badly.

I didn’t let you plunder the divine core of the Space Dominus in the first place just to cut my expenses, thinking that the price was too outrageous.

Now great, I had already extracted his divine spirit, and the price is still so outrageous. You’re bullying an honest man, aren’t you?

I would rather not kill the Space Dominus’ divine spirit and rather let him go than to spend so much money just to plunder this Eternal Energy!

“Ding! Will you plunder it?”

“Plunder it!”

Whoosh!

An inexplicable force from an unseen world enveloped the divine spirit of the Space Dominus as it began to extract the Eternal Energy from within. The Space Dominus did not struggle and scream…

Time was frozen for him after all.

After around two minutes, the Eternal Energy within the divine spirit seemed to be gone as the cue tone of the system rang. “Ding! You’ve obtained Eternal Energy. Will you assimilate it?”

“Assimilate it,” Meng Lei perked up, “Into my divine spirit!”

Whoosh!

Meng Lei had only just spoken when colorless and odorless energy that was lukewarm was injected into his divine spirit.

Immediately after, his divine spirit underwent unknown changes. No strengthening, no compressing as nothing could be felt. The entire process was like water diffusing into alcohol silently.

“That’s it? That’s the whole assimilation process? There was no feeling at all!”

Meng Lei shook his head slightly while pure, condensed energy rushed into his sea of consciousness and entered his divine spirit. It was only then that Meng Lei realized that the Grim Reaper’s Eye had already crushed the Space Dominus’ divine spirit…

“Ding! Space Dominus killed. 2 Supreme Divinity Crystals gained!”

Meng Lei smiled. Without Eternal Energy, the divine spirit of the Space Dominus was no longer imperishable, while the Grim Reaper’s Eye had done its job.

“This Eternal Energy is indeed dramatically good!

“But, I didn’t expect that I could obtain 2 Supreme Divinity Crystals from killing him.”

2 Supreme Divinity Crystals equaled 20,000 trillion Divinity Crystals, after all.

It did not just cover the 10,000 trillion Divinity Crystals he had spent, but there were also another 10,000 trillion Divinity Crystals. He struck another fortune this time.

Meng Lei swept a glance at his stats interface.

Wealth: 22,709 trillion Divinity Crystals

“22,000 Divinity Crystals will be enough to comprehend the life, destruction, and death laws of nature. Killing is the one and only way to get rich!”

Meng Lei remarked as he kept the divine core and divine body of the Space Dominus.

He placed the divine core together with the other 11 Chief God divine cores while the divine body got thrown to the little golden tree in the Tower of Time.

If it was any other divine body, Meng Lei could not care less. However, the Space Dominus’ divine body was different as it contained Eternal Energy. He wanted to know whether this mysterious ‘little’ tree could devour Eternal Energy.

After devouring countless bodies of deities, it had grown into a big golden tree. Branches flourished from the tree, as the golden tree was like a luxurious art piece that emanated an aura of class.

Swoosh!

Upon sensing the presence of the Space Dominus’ divine body, the golden tree’s roots started to move over.

Stab, stab, stab.

The roots easily penetrated the indestructible divine body of the Space Dominus and started to absorb its life essence.

A Juggernaut-class divine body would naturally contain a massive amount of life essence as the golden tree absorbed and grew at a visible speed.

110 meters, 120 meters, 130 meters…

At the same time, the Space Dominus’ divine body dried up at a visible speed as well.

After around ten minutes, the body had become a piece of dried-up skin which dissipated into the air when a slight wind blew.

“The Space Dominus’ divine body is gone just like that? Isn’t it imperishable and absolutely eternal? What about the Eternal Energy within?”

Meng Lei looked dazed as he knew how great the defense of that divine body was—ignoring the fact that the golden tree could penetrate the body with ease, what happened to Eternal Energy and its special characteristic of indestructibility?

Nothing!

Nothing at all!

Or rather, it became useless.

“Why is the divine body of the Space Dominus no different from the bodies of other deities in front of the little golden tree?”

Meng Lei was getting increasingly curious about the background of the golden tree. It was a pity that no one could answer him, and he could only find it out himself.

“Never mind, I’ll look into it later.”

Meng Lei left the Tower of Time and gave orders to the system.

“System, buy credit for the life laws of nature.”

“System, buy credit for the destruction laws of nature.”

“System, buy credit for the death laws of nature.”
