299: System compensation

Chen Tianming locked his eyes onto him, and an appraisal report for this person appeared before him.

[Target Name: Gu Cheng (Thunder Dragon Reincarnation)]

[Target Appraisal: True Immortal Perfection Realm, has overcome the Tribulation of Decaying Body, Thunder Dragon Spirit Root manifested, possesses 38,000 years of cultivation, is a transmigrating, body-snatching protagonist of a power fantasy novel!]

[System Warning: This person's Thunder Dragon bloodline is pure, and he shows signs of transforming into a Heavenly Thunder Body to open the Heavenly Gate. He must be killed in one strike; do not let him linger!]

Chen Tianming couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"What kind of world is this? I run into a protagonist every three steps!"

Since the system had already issued a warning, Chen Tianming felt this person could not be underestimated.

He gripped the Xuanyuan Sword and poured all of his spiritual power into it.

Because Chen Tianming's spiritual sense was extremely powerful, his consciousness had long since enveloped both himself and the entire sword.

Even if he released his spiritual power, that transmigrating, body-snatching protagonist would absolutely not be able to sense it!

Taking a step forward, Chen Tianming unleashed the thunder cultivation technique he had inherited from Lei Li.

His entire being transformed into a bolt of lightning.

When his spiritual power erupted, Gu Cheng was already alerted.

However, although he possessed the Thunder Dragon bloodline, he had not yet cultivated it to its ultimate peak.

Even though he was already in the True Immortal Realm, and his body and soul were already immortal and indestructible.

Yet, when Chen Tianming swung his sword, it faintly contained the marvelous laws of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

Although Chen Tianming himself didn't know what to call the law he had comprehended.

However, the sword strike was incredibly effective.

"Puchi!"

This strike went straight through Gu Cheng's body.

He vomited a mouthful of blood and instinctively tried to detach his primordial spirit, leaving his immortal and indestructible shell.

It seemed that this wasn't the first time Gu Cheng had been interrupted by a life-or-death tribulation.

The moment his spirit left his body, he immediately turned back, wanting to seize his body again.

Even if his body died, as long as he was willing, he could refine and possess someone else, then fully absorb the Thunder Dragon blood, and he, Gu Cheng, could still return to his peak state.

But he hadn't expected Chen Tianming to be one step faster.

Blue light suddenly erupted from his chest, and under the illumination of this light, Gu Cheng's flesh and blood body immediately transformed into specks of pure energy, which were absorbed into Chen Tianming's body.

Chen Tianming let out a comfortable breath, looking at the stunned Gu Cheng.

At this moment, Gu Cheng felt Chen Tianming's murderous gaze and felt a bit cowardly for a second.

"Great Immortal! Where did you come from, and why are you ambushing me here! Although we are here to compete for opportunities, we haven't reached the point of life-or-death struggle yet, have we!"

However, Chen Tianming shook his head.

"Who says we haven't? We have; you just didn't realize it. Killing you is useful to me!"

Gu Cheng was completely panicked now; he jumped backward and immediately turned into lightning, trying to escape.

But unexpectedly, just as Gu Cheng revealed his Thunder Dragon body, the blue light from Chen Tianming's chest already covered him.

Just like a black hole attracting light, Gu Cheng's primordial spirit was directly sucked into Chen Tianming's body.

Chen Tianming's energy converter was a complete, rule-level suppression.

Under the influence of the energy converter, no object could retain its original material form; everything would turn into equivalent energy and be stored within Chen Tianming's body.

If Chen Tianming wished, he could also release all of this energy.

Having absorbed a transmigrating protagonist with a Thunder Dragon bloodline.

Chen Tianming immediately received a system notification.

[Congratulations, Host! Successfully killed the transmigrating protagonist, obtained 5,000 Villain Points!]

At the same time, he also received another notification from the system.

[Friendly Reminder: The Host has now left the Chaos World and entered another world. System rewards have been upgraded as a result, and the upper limit of Villain Points required for lucky draws has also been increased!]

Chen Tianming was so angry on the spot that he cursed loudly.

"What the hell! Why? I earned these Villain Points with my own ability, and just when I was about to be able to draw a prize, you raised the limit? This shitty system, if there's no reward, I'm not fighting anymore, I'm retreating!"

However, just after Chen Tianming finished ranting, the system gave another notification.

[Ding! Because it was not explained in advance and the increase in the Villain Point limit was too sudden, the system is now compensating the Host with 50,000 Villain Points!]

[Ding! System notification: The Host currently possesses enough Villain Points to exchange for two lucky draw chances. Would you like to draw rewards immediately?]

Chen Tianming gritted his teeth and stomped his foot.

"Fine, since you gave me compensation, I'll let it slide. Two ten-pulls! Use them all up for me!"

The system's lucky draw screen immediately appeared in Chen Tianming's field of vision.

Subsequently, a series of prizes were distributed into Chen Tianming's hands.

A flash of red light suddenly appeared before his eyes.

Chen Tianming immediately became excited and thrilled.

Another Mythical quality item!

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the Mythical quality treasure, Nebula!]

Chen Tianming couldn't help but scratch his nose.

"Nebula? Which nebula?"

He had assumed it was some kind of magic weapon or a character.

He hadn't expected the system to actually give him an entire nebula!

Inside the card, he saw an incomparably vast expanse of stars.

Chen Tianming was stunned.

There were countless stars within this nebula.

There was also a lot of unformed, primal energy.

No wonder it was a Mythical-level reward.

Such a massive nebula—if he could absorb all the energy within it, how terrifying would that be!

Chen Tianming directly pressed the card against his chest.

Suddenly, seven-colored light burst forth from his eyes and mouth.

It was as if the endless stars of the universe were being sucked into Chen Tianming's eyes and mouth.

At this moment, although Chen Tianming's realm was still at the Golden Immortal Realm.

The spiritual power within his body had already expanded immensely.

It was terrifyingly larger than a nebula.

A qualitative change caused by a quantitative shift; Chen Tianming's originally beautiful Qi Sea and Snow Mountain had now completely transformed into a planet!

Nine golden cores, looking like moons and reflecting golden light, rotated continuously around the planet.

The first and second golden cores gradually transformed and changed shape.

The Fire Qilin, which originally had a body of Samadhi True Fire, now gradually condensed into a distinct form.

It was like a constellation shining in the void.

When Chen Tianming approached the Fire Qilin, this ancient, god-level Spirit Sovereign actually knelt down slowly and nodded in salute to Chen Tianming.

Chen Tianming was somewhat puzzled.

"What's this? Not going to argue with me anymore?"

The Qilin shook its head.

"I dare not! Congratulations, Master, on reaching the Immortal Sovereign Realm and taking us to ascend. Now that my body has been bestowed with the power of the stars by you, from this day forth, I am the Star Qilin under your command!"

Chen Tianming scratched his nose again.

It seemed that the power of the nebula had caused his Nine Voids to evolve, and the Fire Qilin had benefited from this, ascending to a higher existence.

However, its name was indeed a bit of a mouthful.

Chen Tianming waved his hand.

"Fine, fine. I'll just call you Qilin from now on; otherwise, it's too hard to remember!"
