Chapter 232: Kill, Harvest, Reward
Translator: Atlas StudiosEditor: Atlas Studios
Along with Zhou Chen’s punch, the shadow of an Eight Desolates Ice Dragon with monstrous killing intent appeared out of thin air. The aura it emitted was so ancient and cold that just as it appeared in this blood-red world, the demon lord felt a chill run down its spine.
“What is that?!” In the long life of the demon lord, it had never seen such a creature. It was like a dragon without wings, like a spirit body, and had an ancient and powerful aura.
Sensing the threat to its life, the demon lord decided to retreat. With its teleportation ability, it had always had the right to decide the location of the battlefield.
However, this time, just as it teleported away and exited from a space node, it felt a terrifying killing intent. At the same time, it saw a mountain-sized Eight Desolates Ice Dragon’s head biting at it!
“How is this possible?!”
Realizing that the terrifying creature had appeared where he had teleported to, the demon lord felt like its soul was about to leave its body. It immediately resisted the violent killing intent and the cold aura’s suppression and forced its body to activate another teleportation.
However, after this teleportation, although it did not see the terrifying mouth of the Eight Desolate Ice Dragon, it saw a tail that was comparable to a mountain had appeared in front of it and was lashing at it like a tsunami!
“Space Destruction!”
At this critical moment, the demon lord knew that it was too late to dodge, so it steeled its heart and launched an ability that could destroy space to attack this huge creature. After all, it was a top character among demons. It had the will to fight with its life on the line when push came to shove.
As spatial energy erupted from its body to block the attack. It saw the huge shadow in front of it had pierced through it like a biting cold wind, making it feel a bone-piercing coldness and a slight dizziness, but that was all.
“Just this?” The expected serious injury did not appear. The demon lord felt that it might have overestimated its opponent.
But in the next moment, a sharp sensation appeared on its back, making it feel a fatal threat.
Zhou Chen’s body was bathed in lightning as he instantly arrived at its back, and then punched out!
This punch was filled with a majestic aura. It carried a faint dragon roar and a ferocious killing intent!
‘The demon lord would have chosen to face the attack before, but it felt that its opponent had become much stronger and had an item that could restrain its attacks. The outcome of a head-on fight might not be good, so it immediately chose to teleport and escape.
However, this time, it realized that its body seemed to have frozen. Its movements were extremely slow.
With a loud boom, the demon lord was drowned by the lightning flashes that drowned the sky.
{You have killed a Demon Lovereign (Weak Divine Power). Reward: 1 Low-Grade Killing Authority (High Gold)]
[Low Grade Killing Authority

[Passive Plunderer triggered: You have stolen the passive skill of the Demon Lord (Weak Divine Power), “Steel Body VI”. Detected that it is superior to the passive skill you already have. It will automatically be replaced.]
[Passive Plunderer triggered: You have stolen the passive skill of the Demon Lord (Weak Divine Power), “Space Affinity VII”. Do you want to absorb it?)
[Space Affinity VII
‘Type: Low Gold passive skill
You have a very strong affinity with spatial power. You can easily develop spatial abilities such as spatial teleportation, spatial destruction, and so on.]
“This monster actually has a high silver rank and a low gold rank passive skill? No wonder its strength is extraordinary.”
Before he entered the Great Martial Dao Grandmaster realm, Zhou Chen felt that he could not fight this opponent because his attacks did not cause much damage to it. As long as it was not careless, he would not be able to hit it at all. He would only be beaten by its teleportation ability.
This was a characteristic of Gods that was different from the aura of a demon. It meant that Zhou Chen had found Lady Misery.
Indeed, in a narrow cave that emitted a thick aura, they saw a gray-robed woman sitting on the ground beside a skeleton.
This woman had a dignified appearance. She was not very old, but she had many light wrinkles on her face. Her clothes were rather simple, making her look like she had cultivated for long.
“Are you the Lord of Benevolence?” The gray-robed woman raised her head and looked at Vera. Then, she focused her gaze on Zhou Chen, who had a terrifying aura.
“Yes, you’re Lady Misery? Your envoy said that you need help. Do you mean the space restriction here?”
The cave in front of him did not look too abnormal, but the aura was strange. However, after Zhou Chen absorbed the Low Gold rank Space Affinity passive skill from the demon lord, he could see a dense circle of invisible spatial cracks in the cave, sealing the gray-robed woman so that she did not dare to
move rashly.
“Yes, I came here to explore and was discovered by a demon lord. I used up all my divine power but could only protect myself. I’m trapped here. Please help me escape. I’ll pay with an Authority.” The gray-robed woman immediately replied.
“Pardon me for being presumptuous, but you only give me the feeling that you’re a lower God. How can you have an Authority?” Zhou Chen had long understood that lower Gods did not have Authority. Lower Gods were not strong enough, and even if they were lucky enough to obtain one, it would only
attract disaster and cause their deaths.
“This Authority comes from this skeleton. He was an intermediate God and died here after being heavily injured in the God and Devil War. If you save me, I’ll give you this Authority.” Lady Misery replied unhurriedly.
“Sure. I love fair deals.” Zhou Chen did not bargain. He directly extended his hand and released the Eight Desolates True Energy, shaking this narrow space.
He was moving the many spatial rifts that surrounded Lady Misery. This was not possible even if he had advanced to the great grandmaster realm, he would not have been able to do so unless he directly tore through space after reaching the Martial Dao Human Immortal realm.
However, after fusing with Space Affinity VII, he had a very strong influence on the Space Law. Although he was unable to use spatial power like the demon lord, using this affinity to move spatial cracks was still easy.
“You can move the space cracks without using divine power?”
Zhou Chen’s actions immediately surprised Lady Misery. When she had enough divine power, it was not difficult for her to control the spatial laws, although not as easily as a demon lord. However, with insufficient divine power, she could only protect herself amidst these space cracks. In the end, she had
to send a message to her believers for help.
“Alright, you can come out.” Zhou Chen did not answer Lady Misery’s question. He only said to her calmly after removing the space cracks.
As a God, Lady Misery naturally sensed that she was safe now. She slowly stood up and walked out of the narrow cave. Then, she extended her hand.
There was a profound invisible energy in her palm, Although it was invisible to the naked eye, the three of them could sense its powerful existence.
(Low Grade Extravagance Authority
Type: High Gold Law
Fuse this authority into your Godhood. You will be recognized by the worlds of Gods and be able to live here for a long time. The extravagant actions of any living creature in these worlds will provide you with divine power.]
“This Authority seems to be quite good. Are you really willing to hand it to me?” Zhou Chen asked her.
Authority was a very precious thing in this world. Every God wanted to have it, even if it might bring disaster.
Zhou Chen expected Lady Misery to go back on her words, and then kill her. Unexpectedly, she did not play any tricks and directly completed the deal.
“Extravagance is indeed an excellent Authority.” Lady Misery immediately replied,
“But it seriously conflicts with my path. If I had known that this was the Authority here, I wouldn’t have taken the risk to come here.” She sighed slightly.
‘Are misery and extravagance really conflicting? In that case, my benevolence and killing are also not a good match.’
Lady Misery’s words made Zhou Chen realize this, but he did not care much because he had only casually dabbled in the path of Gods and it was not his foundation.
“Let’s leave quickly. More high-level demons might come at any moment.” After completing the deal, Lady Misery immediately suggested. She hated this place and only wanted to leave as soon as possible..
