Young people lack martial ethics

To be fair.

The effects of both pieces of equipment were quite excellent, especially the [evil god annihilation evil spear], which could be called the best of the best.

Constructed from the Power of the Evil God.

Although it had a negative effect—taking 5,000 points of true damage for every second it was held—

For Chen Ming's current health bar, which was as high as over 800 million...

5,000 points of true damage per second was even less than what he naturally regenerated.

In comparison, the active skill attached to the [evil god annihilation evil spear] was simply too perfect for Chen Ming.

It consumed his own health to deal an equivalent amount of damage to the enemy.

This meant that with Chen Ming's current health bar of over 800 million, he could instantly deal at least 800 million damage.

Adding the 20% damage amplification, that was nearly 1 billion damage.

The [Cross Evil-Breaking Claws] were also quite good.

They reduced skill cooldowns and increased skill damage.

This perfectly complemented the effects of the [evil god annihilation evil spear].

Thinking of this, Chen Ming didn't hesitate for a moment and directly equipped both items in his second equipment slot.

"Next up is the final boss of the dungeon!"

Chen Ming had originally planned to let the Nine-Star Dragon-Breaking Arrow in his hand charge for a while longer.

But looking at it now, there was absolutely no need for further charging.

With that thought, Chen Ming walked straight toward the ancient and magnificent palace before him.

Creak, creak!!

As the palace doors were slowly pushed open, a magnificent hall came into view.

The surroundings were resplendent, with vast piles of treasures and gold coins.

These were all the wealth accumulated by the Undersea City over countless years. However, as the Undersea City was invaded by the Power of the Evil God and all living beings underwent unspeakable mutations, these treasures and coins became ownerless.

There were at least a hundred billion.

"I didn't expect such an unexpected windfall."

A trace of a smile played on Chen Ming's lips.

Whether it was the subsequent expansion of the Insect Hive or the future construction of the main city, a massive amount of gold coins would be required.

Even with Chen Ming's current earning capacity, it seemed somewhat insufficient.

These hundred billion gold coins could just relieve the urgent need.

"Human, I can feel the surging greed in your heart."

Just then, an indifferent voice rang out from the end of the hall.

Chen Ming looked up toward the source of the sound.

He saw an old man appear out of thin air.

The old man wore a flaxen robe, held a blue-gold scepter, and had a head of white hair. His face was full of kindness, and his body radiated a divine glow, much like a priest from Western myths and legends.

However, the moment Chen Ming saw the old man, he felt a wave of disgust from the bottom of his heart.

[Description: Once the king of the undersea world, responsible for guarding the Tree of Life. But with the invasion of the Power of the Evil God, the Tree of Life was corrupted and mutated. He was also affected, undergoing an unspeakable mutation.]

...Very strong!

As an Epic-level Boss, the [Lord of Despair] was not only powerful in all attributes,

But he also possessed three chances to resurrect, which was equivalent to having three lives.

"Human, being able to kill Meiserli proves that your strength is quite formidable."

"However, facing me, you are still like an ephemeral insect looking up at the vast sky."

"Crushing you to death would be as simple as crushing a bug."

"But I will give you a chance. Give up your flesh and your soul... open up your faith and welcome the Great Mother of Desire... become a being equal to me."

"Perhaps... you can live on."

A kind and inclusive voice came from the mouth of the [Lord of Despair].

He slowly waved the scepter in his hand, and a heart covered in blood-red tentacles appeared in his palm.

[Heart of Desire]

[Quality: Mythical]

[Description: Contains a portion of the origin power and authority of the Mother Tree of Desire.]

... "Swallow the [Heart of Desire] and become a believer of the Great Mother Tree of Desire..."

"Or... die!"

The [Lord of Despair] tossed the [Heart of Desire] into Chen Ming's hands.

"A Mythical item for free."

A smile appeared on the corner of Chen Ming's mouth.

The attribute bonuses provided by the [Heart of Desire] could only be described as insane.

However, Chen Ming would never use it.

In his view, becoming a fanatic of the Mother Tree of Desire and losing his self-awareness

Was no different from committing suicide.

But just because he wouldn't use it didn't mean others wouldn't.

There would always be people who would choose to lose themselves for power.

If he took it out to sell, its value wouldn't be less than ten billion gold coins.

Thinking of this, Chen Ming smiled and put the [Heart of Desire] into his backpack.

"Human, it seems you have made a wise choice."

"Become a being equal to me."

Seeing Chen Ming put away the [Heart of Desire], a smile couldn't help but appear on the [Lord of Despair]'s lips.

However, before he could finish his sentence, he was directly interrupted by Chen Ming.

"Old geezer, you've been blabbering for so long. Now it's time for you to die."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Ming didn't hesitate and directly activated the active effect of the [evil god annihilation evil spear].

Consuming 100 million HP.

Destruction Light... "Zzzzt!!"

An Evil Light containing the power of destruction shot out violently, heading straight for the [Lord of Despair].

"Holy crap, young man, you have no martial virtue..."

The [Lord of Despair] let out a wail. Before he could even react, he was pierced by the Destruction Light.

-120,000,000... A damage number as long as half a phone number floated above the [Lord of Despair]'s head.

His health bar was instantly emptied...
