Chapter 576: Chapter 429: Thunder Sparrow, Daughter of the Thunder God, The Soul Clan Conspiracy Resurfaces (3.1K Third Update)
“Could it be that he’s scared stiff?”
“Why isn’t he fighting back?”
“He can’t seriously think he can easily take down another minor overlord like before, right? That was because Lion Heart was careless! This time, there are three opponents, and they’re not careless at all!”
Everyone watched as Xu Gu stood still, puzzled, unable to understand.
They knew facing the siege of three minor overlords, even the Divine Son had to be on guard. Not fighting back would lead to defeat!
“Watch out!” The girl shouted, very worried, but Xu Gu did not respond.
The next moment,
the attack of the three minor overlords had already reached Xu Gu.
“Not fighting back? Does he have something up his sleeve?”
“What could he possibly have? Just pure arrogance!”
“No! He’s scared stiff! Facing our attack, he’s too scared to move!”
The three minor overlords said coldly.
However,
next, their smiles froze on their faces.
All their attacks disappeared as they neared Xu Gu.
Like ice cubes falling into a hot pan.
As if they never existed, or as if swallowed by some terrifying entity.
“How is this possible!”
The three minor overlords’ heads buzzed, as if hit with a heavy object, their minds in a daze.
They couldn’t imagine that Xu Gu had the divine artifact, the Black Divine Ring.
Their attacks couldn’t penetrate Xu Gu’s defense and were swallowed directly by the Defense Barrier.
“The title of minor overlord is even more worthless than I imagined,” Xu Gu shook his head slightly.
He couldn’t be bothered to tangle with these ants.
The Battle Instrument appeared in his hand, and he slashed forward.
In the field, a cold flash shot to the sky, shaking the heavens, as the entire Thunder God Star trembled as if it were about to crack open.
All beings on this star were startled, incredibly shocked.
Boom!
The blade light fell.
It seemed capable of destroying everything in its path.
At this moment, Xu Gu stood like a War Immortal, holding life and death, formidable, imposing his might across the world, looking down on all living beings.
“No!”
The three minor overlords roared desperately, purely from instinctual reaction.
Yet, under Xu Gu’s blade light, their attacks remained vulnerable and collapsed on contact!
“How dare you! We are capturing prey for the Sun Palace Divine Son! If you kill us, the Sun Divine Son will not spare you!”
“Our big brother is a descendant of the [Gods of Destruction, Chaos, and Darkness]! He won’t let you go!”
Sensing the threat of death, they opted to threaten verbally.
They never dreamed that someday they would resort to using their brother’s name to compel someone to spare them!
Although their hearts felt humiliated, which did not align with their behavior as minor overlords,
they still felt reassured.
In the Divine Domain Continent, no one dared to offend the Sun Palace, nor their big brother!
Be it the Mechanical Sea or the Human Clan.
Because their main power wasn’t on the Divine Domain Continent!
“Just trash,” Xu Gu said indifferently, looking down.
With a backhand swing of the Battle Instrument in his hand,
the life-saving items of the three minor overlords were instantly destroyed, their bodies exploding directly, their life force extinguished, consciousness fading.
Completely fallen.
Xu Gu killed four of the Five Eastern Overlords in one encounter.
Terrifying beyond measure!
On Thunder God Star No. 1, the atmosphere was cold, as if frozen.
Silence!
A death-like quiet!
All beings were stupefied, staring blankly at Xu Gu, eyes wide open, mouths agape, hearts seemingly stopped beating, with an unparalleled shock in their eyes.
This scene simply exceeded his understanding!
The four minor overlords, previously insurmountable, like four enormous mountains to them, just vanished like that?
Turned into a pool of blood and flesh.
No, not even a pool of blood and flesh remained.
Their blood and bones were entirely absorbed by some unknown treasure.
The place was cleaned up thoroughly, leaving no trace of blood or energy fluctuation.
“After the Battle Instrument leveled up to 2 Stars, it’s not just a little bit fiercer.” Xu Gu felt a bit surprised.
Earlier, when fighting the Thunder Giant Octopus, it wasn’t as obvious, but now, fighting these four minor overlords, it was extremely domineering.
“My goodness! Could I have really stumbled upon a powerhouse?”
The girl swallowed, very excited.
She just randomly picked someone in the crowd who looked tough, intending to try her luck, never expecting them to be truly formidable!
“Although you are quite unobservant, the nourishment you provided isn’t lacking.”
Seeing the substantial increase in the Divine Points and Divine Catalog promotion bar, Xu Gu nodded in satisfaction.
Though the four minor overlords’ strength was only moderate for Intermediate King level, their bloodlines and talents were good, with high internal Divinity, providing many Divine Points.
Meanwhile, the value of their exploded blood and flesh was higher than same-level native monsters.
“Just a bit more to 500 Divine Points. The energy from the Divine Catalog has absorbed enough, and it won’t be long before the Quadruna unlocks the next stage.”
Xu Gu was quite satisfied with this.
As for the treasures on the four minor overlords, although precious, they were useless to Xu Gu and were casually given to his Car Servant and Combat Servants.
Xu Gu gathered his thoughts.
As if nothing had happened, unconcerned with the gazes around him.
To him, whether it was the four Divine Sons or the five minor overlords, it was just that.
A bunch of small fry.
And at this time,
a timid voice came from behind.
“Excuse me… sir, please wait!”
Xu Gu furrowed his brow, stopping to look at the girl behind him.
The reason he clashed with the Five Eastern Overlords was that this girl, when escaping near him, said one thing.
She claimed to be the daughter of the Thunder God, the owner of these relics.
It stunned Xu Gu for a moment.
Then the Five Eastern Overlords thought he wanted to meddle.
The girl’s claim was obviously false, so after eliminating four of the Five Eastern Overlords, Xu Gu planned to leave without staying further.
Although he appreciated the girl’s wisdom and courage, and her grasp of timing.
“I’m indeed not the Thunder God’s daughter, but my master is!” the girl said hastily, seeing Xu Gu still uninterested.
She looked only twelve or thirteen, very playful and cute.
But her age likely far exceeded Xu Gu’s!
With golden hair, eyes like light yellow gemstones, seemingly containing flickering lightning, and a delicate little nose and mouth.
What stood out most was a fluffy little feathered tail at the back of her skirt.
Xu Gu raised an eyebrow.
He could not tell her origins for a moment.
[Thunder Sparrow]
[Rank: Special Lord]
[Combat Power Level: Half-step Intermediate King]
[Description: Thunder Spirit. A type of elemental spirit born in thunderstorms, with the potential to transform into a Thunder God. This one is unique, though a Thunder Spirit, it is also a caged sparrow with a soul refined by another.]
Normally, if this were the Thunder God’s Relics and encountering a rare Thunder Spirit, it would likely relate to the Thunder God’s relics.
However, the last line of the description made Xu Gu wary.
“Pity, its soul is refined by another, making direct enslavement with the Battle Instrument difficult.” Xu Gu hesitated.
Ultimately, he chose not to intervene.
“I have no interest in the Thunder God’s daughter,” Xu Gu said.
According to his plan, he would bulldoze from the first Thunder God Star, all the way to the seventh, looting every treasure.
The girl grew anxious, quickly saying, “My master really is the Thunder God’s daughter, sealed by the Thunder God in the Divine Origin. Recently, she was found by an unseen, untouchable bandit gang.
“They threatened my master to obey their orders because she can control the whole Thunder God Ruins.
“My master refused, then fell into danger. I escaped from the seventh star, then was pursued here by people from the Sun Palace.”
“Unseen, untouchable enemies?” Xu Gu’s eyes flashed.
“The Soul Clan!”
In the Battle Space, all Car Servants and Combat Servants were shocked.
The Soul Clan, a race that almost became the Cosmic Sovereign!
With their return, plotting, no one could remain calm.
Including Xu Gu.
“But why was her soul refined by someone else? Could the Soul Clan have refined her to lure me into their trap?” Xu Gu hesitated, deep in thought.
The Earth Dragon Envoy followed Xu Gu later, not aware of Xu Gu’s powerful Amplification System which could discern origins. While amazed at Xu Gu’s perception to see through the soul refinement,
he still agreed, “It’s possible.”
“Since so, let her stay close, and play along,” Xu Gu’s eyes flashed as he made a decision.
Unaware of one’s origins posed some risk.
Knowing their possible ulterior motives, there was no need to worry.
Yet Xu Gu still said, “I don’t act without compensation. What’s in it for me?”
“My master is as beautiful as a fairy, with extraordinary charm and unparalleled grace. Ages ago, she was the ultimate Goddess in the Divine Domain,”
the Thunder Sparrow girl said,
“If you save my master, she will surely fall for you! Because you’re outstanding, equally remarkable, with exceptional talent. My master, after slumbering for ages, needs someone to depend on in this era.”
“The Thunder God’s daughter is surely a peerless beauty. Sadly, what I lack most is peerless beauty,” Xu Gu remained unmoved.
“My master holds the Thunder God’s inheritance and numerous treasures,” the Thunder Sparrow hesitated for a long time before saying.
“Foolish, once I bulldoze the entire Thunder God Ruins, everything you mentioned would be mine!” Xu Gu said flatly.
“This…”
The Thunder Sparrow appeared genuinely worried for her lady’s safety and after uttering many conditions, finally said,
“Oh! My master is the Thunder God’s daughter, respected by many divines. Now, with the end of the Divine Era, many divine relics remain. If my master explores them, she could do so easily.”
Xu Gu’s eyes lit up, smiling, “That’s a good reason. In that case, I’ll save your master.”
