My starting summon is a small skeleton

Chapter 374: 371 King-level Feedback

12th District, Organization “Zero” base.

With the help of Lu Wu, the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword greedily absorbed the energy from “Flowing Blade Fire.”

Large amounts of energy surged in, causing the brilliance of the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword to continuously bloom.

Around three minutes later, the brilliance had already returned to its state before the use of “Divine Sword Skill.”

Lu Wu could once again deliver that terrifying strike capable of injuring a King-level 3 stars.

And this was just the beginning.

As time passed, the brilliance on the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword began to gradually flourish.

Ten minutes.

The power of the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword, originally at Lord 2 Star, soared to Lord 3 Star and further advanced towards King-level.

As a Divine Artifact class Summoned Beast.

And it was a peak existence among the Divine Artifacts.

The Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword was different from ordinary Summoned Beasts.

As long as it had enough energy, it could enhance, there really was no calm for it.

The gap from Lord 3 Star to King-level, which was a vast gulf for others, was merely a slightly larger ditch for the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword, which it could easily cross once the ditch was filled with water.

Sure enough, in less than twenty minutes.

The radiance of the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword’s blade became further enriched.

The entire sword trembled slightly, conveying a joyous emotion to Lu Wu.

It was about to break through to King-level.

Just as Lu Wu had anticipated before.

The breakthrough of the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword to King-level was tremendously grand.

As it advanced towards King-level, outside the base where Lu Wu was located, astonishing changes began to occur.

Countless dark clouds instantly gathered, causing the sky, which had already lightened in the early morning, to rapidly darken.

At the same time, fierce winds suddenly arose.

The sky’s layered dark clouds began to rub against each other, generating terrifying flashes of lightning, and the thunder that seemed to explode right beside the ear numbed the scalps of people within dozens of miles.

“What’s going on? What happened?”

The people inside the base were utterly baffled.

They began searching for the reason behind all this.

When they discovered that the source of everything seemed to be the lair of the Ninth Apostle, their initial concern immediately eased.

“So it’s caused by Lord Ninth Apostle, that’s normal then.”

“Such a grand spectacle, Lord Ninth Apostle must be breaking through to Epic level.”

All the members of the base were excited.

After all, they were direct subordinates of the Ninth Apostle.

Once the Ninth Apostle broke through, they would naturally rise with him.

But their joy did not last long before some quickly realized something was amiss.

“Do you see that? Is there a figure in the sky?”

“It seems there is, and he seems to be holding a sword?”

“He’s raising his sword, and thunder and lightning are gathering on his sword, what is he doing!”

“Is he going to strike us? Not good, hurry…”

Before the word “run” could escape, Lu Wu, floating in the sky, swung his sword.

A circular Sword Qi instantly spread out.

Terrifying thunder and lightning cascaded down like rain along with the sword light, followed by explosive thunder.

The base where Lu Wu was located was instantly submerged.

Ten minutes later, when the lightning ceased, this substantial base was left with only the lair of the Ninth Apostle still relatively intact.

And Lu Wu who had caused all this then focused his gaze on the still radiantly divine Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword in his hand, beholding the attribute after its ascension to King-level.

Description: It got a bit cheeky again

…

Lu Wu had absorbed the Flowing Blade Fire, allowing the Flowing Blade Fire to completely enter into a dormant state as the price for upgrading the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword to King-level.

The King-level Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword granted Lu Wu the skill “Divine Sword Skill·Divine Wrath” and awakened the “Divine Judgment” skill and faith collection.

The latter talent was still unknown to Lu Wu, but he was well aware that “Divine Judgment” was incredibly terrifying, even stronger than the previous “Divine Wrath.”

The appearance of this new ultimate skill greatly enhanced Lu Wu’s combat power.

Initially, before the upgrade of the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword, Lu Wu’s combat power was about at King Level 2 Star, and activating “Divine Wrath” could injure a three-star unit.

Now, with the activation of “Divine Judgment,” Lu Wu was confident he could evenly match the fully-powered Ninth Apostle.

Of course, if he couldn’t kill his opponent in one strike, Lu Wu would then be at their mercy.

And his even chances were only limited to battling one, if they summoned the bear and the Enchanting Demon Queen together, Lu Wu wouldn’t possibly be a match for them.

“Already quite good.

I still have some skills acquired from sectors 67, 71, and the Ninth Apostle, once I’ve digested all these skills, I should be able to push my power to King Level 2 Star, and then further enhance my combat power.”

Overall, Lu Wu was quite satisfied with his current power.

After admiring the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword in his hand, Lu Wu left the base.

After all, with the situation made this large, if he didn’t flee now, when Zero’s men arrived, he wouldn’t be able to escape.

Unbeknownst to Lu Wu.

He had hardly left the base when

a woman emerged from the ruins. If Lu Wu had still been there, he would recognize this woman as the Ninth Apostle, whom he thought was completely dead.

In reality, she hadn’t truly died.

During the confrontation, she had used an item to teleport back to the base just before being killed; though severely injured, she had managed to save her life.

But unexpectedly, Lu Wu had persistently followed her, and she had just been hit again, adding injury to injury, now in a particularly miserable state.

After watching Lu Wu leave, the Ninth Apostle immediately returned to her own lair.

The moment she entered her lair, the Ninth Apostle froze.

She discovered her most precious photo was missing.

“Was it him? Did he take my photo?”

The disappearance of the photo made the Ninth Apostle forget her own injuries, as she was particularly anxious and angry, even wanting to chase after him to retrieve her photo.

“Wait, why would he want that particular photo?”

The Ninth Apostle suddenly realized.

To her, the photo was precious, but it was just that, to her—others shouldn’t care about it.

“Unless!”

The Ninth Apostle’s eyes lit up, thinking of a possibility.

Just then, a necklace around her neck lit up, clearly another communication device. The Ninth Apostle paused briefly before answering.

“Ninth, I’ve received news that something seems to have happened on your end, there was an epic level of energy fluctuation, and your base also had a high-energy response. Was there a powerful enemy invasion? Do you need my help?”

The Ninth Apostle glanced at the spot where the photo used to hang, without much hesitation, she flatly rejected: “No need, I can handle it myself!”

Then, the Ninth Apostle hung up the communication, staring at the spot where the photo had hung, lost in thought.

Who knows what she was thinking…

…

Always asking for subscriptions, today I ask for something else.

Well, I ask for two hundred Golden Cuties.
