177: Fertilize the golden tree?

On the other side, Old Hei enlarged his body to the limit.

After six stars, his physique had strengthened considerably, and his normal size was already about twenty-five to twenty-six meters.

Enlarging fifty times, the diameter reached one thousand two to three hundred meters.

Hmm, that's roughly the size of one hundred and eighty football fields.

One turtle leg was equivalent to a skyscraper.

"Boom boom boom..."

Old Hei was no longer satisfied with just taking a beating; he occasionally used his legs to stomp on the Monarch-level Nether Beasts beneath him.

One stomp couldn't kill them, but it would crush them into rock pits, making them impossible to pull out.

Sometimes, he would use his famous ultimate skill, Mount Tai Crushing the Summit, pressing a large swath of Nether Beasts beneath him, rendering them immobile.

"Roar..."

A massive roar sent chills down the spines of countless Monarch-level Nether Beasts.

It was hard to imagine that Nether Beasts, who weren't even afraid of death, would be suppressed by a single Commander Rank contracted beast.

It was as if they had encountered a true emperor.

Old Hei got up, allowing the Nether Beasts to scatter and flee.

Just as they were about to run out of range, he unleashed another Taunt.

Instantly, countless Nether Beasts went crazy.

They stopped attacking; instead, they prostrated themselves on the ground, letting Old Hei step on their bodies without daring to move.

In this manner, Old Hei, stepping on a carpet formed by countless Monarch-level Nether Beasts, walked step by step toward Lin Chuan.

As he got closer, Old Hei gradually shrunk his body.

Finally, when he arrived next to Lin Chuan, he had shrunk to only a few dozen centimeters in size.

Like a domestic pet turtle, he closed his eyes and rested beside Lin Chuan's leg.

"Had enough fun? Haha..."

Lin Chuan opened his eyes and got up from the recliner.

He checked Old Hei's advancement fruit, and sure enough, it had matured.

If it hadn't matured, Lin Chuan wouldn't have known what to do; he couldn't possibly let Old Hei challenge a King Rank alone—that truly wasn't feasible.

As for Little Ling's, there was still no movement; the maturity was practically zero.

What surprised Lin Chuan the most was that White Moon's advancement fruit was actually more than half mature!!!

"White Moon, do you know how you should advance to Monarch Rank?"

"I don't know!"

White Moon said confidently.

"Wait, aren't you a proper Yao Beast?" Lin Chuan expressed his incomprehension.

"Yes, but I just don't know. Also, in my memory, it seems I have never advanced to Monarch Rank."

As she spoke, White Moon felt a little down.

The lifespan of the Commander Rank was not very long.

The consequence of not achieving Breakthrough was naturally repeated Reincarnation.

Even if her potential increased, she had no way to Breakthrough to Monarch Rank.

"Lin Chuan, you won't dislike me, right?"

She was about to cry (╥╯^╰╥).

"Ahem, how could I?"

Cold sweat beaded on Lin Chuan's forehead; this cat's mood was so unpredictable.

He looked around, temporarily finding no dangerous situations.

"I will definitely help you advance, don't worry."

Lin Chuan patted his chest and guaranteed it. At this moment, he absolutely had to placate her, lest he be chased by a group of King Ranks later.

"Really?"

"Absolutely."

"Great

(^o^)/~"

White Moon instantly cheered up.

"Whew..."

Lin Chuan let out a long breath.

"Um, White Moon, you haven't secretly been trying hard to kill Nether Beasts recently, have you?" Lin Chuan asked, puzzled.

Otherwise, there was no way to explain the maturity of this advancement fruit!

"No, I've just been sleeping in the tree."

"You haven't done anything special?"

"Hmm... let me think..."

Saying this, White Moon counted on her cat paws:

"The first thing every day, I cast a Luck Spell on you, then one on myself, one on Old Hei, and one on Little Ling..."

Lin Chuan: ... Sweat -_-||

"And then?"

"The rest of the time, I've been fertilizing the fruit tree!"

"Fertilizing? You didn't...?"

Lin Chuan was shocked!

Old Hei was shocked!

Little Ling was shocked!

golden tree: ???

"What are you thinking? I meant the Luck Spell, as a metaphor, don't you get it! Dummy!"

White Moon angrily scampered away.

"Thank goodness..."

Lin Chuan wiped the fine sweat from his forehead.

He guessed that White Moon had been constantly casting the Luck Spell on the golden tree out of boredom... Whether it had an effect or not was unknown, but the maturity of the advancement fruit had skyrocketed.

But this line of thinking was something Lin Chuan wouldn't have thought of in a lifetime... Having settled things here, Lin Chuan released Nether One and Underworld Two.

"My Lord!"

Nether One handed over You Hong's soul orb.

"Good!"

Achieving victory right away, Lin Chuan was greatly encouraged.

Slowly but surely, he would eventually carve out his own territory on this Netherworld soil.

Under those circumstances, only attacking You Hong provided an opportunity.

If they had attacked Ming Luo, You Hong would not only have refused to help distract Ming Luo's subordinates but might have even stopped Nether One.

At that point, they would have faced the siege of seven King Ranks.

You Hong was also careless, completely failing to anticipate that the opponent would immediately unleash a killing move without warning.

On the surface, it was one against two, but in reality, it was one against three.

"My Lord, there is a situation..." Nether One continued.

"What?"

Then, Nether One extended his left palm.

They saw that the same temple crown that was on Ming Shuo's head was now fitted onto his middle finger like a ring.

Lin Chuan: ... "You're not trying to say you're bound to this thing, are you?"

Lin Chuan asked curiously.

"Forgive me, my Lord, but that is precisely the case. I merely grabbed the object instinctively, but it immediately accepted me as its master."

"Is that so?" Lin Chuan understood.

Previously, Nether One had also touched Ming Shuo's crown, but nothing had happened.

It seemed this effect only occurred after the original owner's death.

"It doesn't matter. Is there any difference?"

Lin Chuan wasn't overly concerned. As he gained more exposure to these things, he would eventually have the King Ranks beneath him test the effects.

Now, it was a case of making the best of a mistake, and it had worked out.

"There aren't many differences. Every temple is independent. Your subordinate can sense the location of every Nether Beast born within that area and issue minor commands. However, I cannot leave the temple area for too long; I must return at least once every seven days. Finally, I can move the Nether God Temple into the Nether Domain Space."

"Move the Nether God Temple into the Nether Domain Space???"

Lin Chuan was completely astonished.

Even Ming Shuo looked bewildered: What is the Nether Domain Space? Can the Nether God Temple be moved?

"Yes."

Nether One nodded.

"Wait a minute, let me process this."

Lin Chuan told Nether One not to rush into trying it. He had a premonition that this was a monumental event, and if handled poorly, it could lead to disaster.

This was far more serious than casually killing one or two Nether Kings.

If the Nether God Temple was bound to this small area, moving the Nether God Temple might merge the entire small area into the Nether Domain Space... This was absolutely brilliant!

This was practically digging up the roots of the Netherworld soil!

If Lin Chuan dared to act, it would definitely attract countless Nether Kings to investigate... At that point, there would be no need to wait for the Yao Beasts to attack the city; everyone would be finished together.

"Nether One, are you sure that other Nether Kings cannot sense your location through the crown?"

Lin Chuan confirmed again.

"Yes, the crown can only sense the location of each Nether God Temple and the location of the Netherworld creatures belonging to its respective area.

We, who belong to our Lord's Nether Domain Space, will not be detected by any Nether King."

"Good!"

Hearing Nether One say this, Lin Chuan felt relieved.

Next, he just needed to watch them fight among themselves. Lin Chuan didn't believe these Nether Kings could restrain themselves.

Even if they could restrain themselves, Lin Chuan would just do it again!
