The Highest Bounty Chapter 244

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Of the 321 tombs in Potie's personal domain, all but three of them were empty. Additionally, the demiG.o.ds who had been buried there had begun emerging from the earth. Those Gu Ding had ejected skipped the process of rising up from the dirt and instead picked themselves up from the ground. They scanned their surroundings and then zeroed in on Gu Ding and his crew.

Although there were still no signs of movement from the largest deity tomb, the difference was little for Gu Ding's crew that was trapped in the domain.

Neptune had long antic.i.p.ated Potie's domain attack, and he had told Gu Ding how to break out of the domain before. However, it could not be done with Gu Ding's strength.

Gu Ding, Biggie, and Elsa moved in a pincer-like formation while they kept Lilliath and Tagore protected in the middle.

Several demiG.o.d corpse dummies sprung up immediately. Biggie brandished his saber, and a black crescent sword energy shot out. The three demiG.o.d corpse dummies were instantly cut off at the waist, disintegrating into energy fragments.

Biggie could not kill Potie with sword energy. That was because Potie was only one step away from becoming a deity–she was only a Deity Position away from becoming a true deity. Given the right opportunity, she could instantly coalesce the Deity Position and become a deity. Additionally, Potie herself was a 5-star monster and had hundreds of times more energy than ordinary demiG.o.ds in her body. Naturally, she could not be killed easily. The demiG.o.ds buried there were mostly ordinary demiG.o.ds. They would have been able to take down people who were less than demiG.o.ds, but in Biggie's presence, they could only face death.

There was nothing wrong with Biggie, but Elsa and Gu Ding were still uneasy.

Elsa was completely flushed with red energy as she clutched a huge ax about her height. The huge ax was made of some unknown material that was capable of inflicting damage to demiG.o.ds. Nevertheless, she was only a Rank-11 Gene Body. Factoring in her increased combat effectiveness, she could defeat a Peak Rank-13 Gene Body, but it would still be a little too difficult for her to kill demiG.o.ds.

Two demiG.o.ds pounced on her out of nowhere, and she could only swing the huge ax, barely able to defend herself from both sides.

Biggie noticed Elsa's situation after he had killed his three opponents. Without hesitation, he stepped in and helped Elsa kill the two demiG.o.ds.

On Gu Ding's side, he had activated all abilities but his Absolute Seal. As a result, his combat effectiveness had risen to hundreds of billions of points. With Damage Stacking, he was capable of reaching a maximum of over five hundred billion points in terms of combat effectiveness. The two demiG.o.ds who lunged at Gu Ding were new demiG.o.ds with less than two hundred billion points in combat effectiveness.

Nevertheless, even though Gu Ding was not weak, he could not inflict any damage to a demiG.o.d with bare hands. Therefore, Gu Ding used the ax that he had bought at Great Divnity. The ax was known for having slaughtered a dragon in the past. Since Neptune's unlocking ability was not high enough to break the ax's seal, Gu Ding had to make do with it without knowing if it would have any effect.

As a strong close-combat martial arts pract.i.tioner, one of the qualities one had to have was the ability to adapt and use various weapons easily. Gu Ding did not feel uncomfortable when he wielded the ax.

Gu Ding took the ax and swung it masterfully. Unexpectedly, the seemingly inconspicuous rusty ax cut managed to cut through one of the demiG.o.d's necks like tofu. The demiG.o.d's head flew off in an instant, and his body shattered into pieces.

Additionally, the ax strangely began to absorb the energy pieces of the demiG.o.d that had been beheaded.

Gu Ding turned around and the ax slid effortlessly through the waist of the second demiG.o.d. Just like the previous demiG.o.d, the demiG.o.d's body collapsed and he was absorbed by the ax.

Gu Ding looked at his ax with some incredulity. “This thing works really well, and it can absorb energy fragments.”

However, right after Gu Ding finished speaking, another wave of attacks began, and another group of demiG.o.ds sprang up to fight him.

With the ax in his hand, Gu Ding killed another three demiG.o.ds instantly. The ax seemed to be becoming stronger as it absorbed more and more energy. When Gu Ding swung the ax, a golden flare flashed through the void and instantly cut through the three demiG.o.ds. His killing speed was enough to match Biggie's.

Elsa, on the other hand, did not have much pressure on her.

All she needed to do was obstruct their enemies a little and keep them away from Lilliath. Biggie and Gu Ding would kill them in the next instance.

After several attacks, Gu Ding found that with the ax, his combat effectiveness was no longer important. That was because the ax only increased in power and did not stop.

With the ax, Gu Ding managed to kill a demiG.o.d who was ranked eighty-seven on the DemiG.o.d Monster Ranking.

It has to be said that the demiG.o.ds on the DemiG.o.d Monster Ranking could not be compared to ordinary people. Eighty-seventh place might not seem like a high ranking, but there were many demiG.o.ds in the Cosmic Sea. To have managed to rank in the top hundred, they were without a doubt very strong. Only the top ten demiG.o.ds on the DemiG.o.d Monster Ranking would have been able to kill the eighty-seventh ranked demiG.o.d in an instant. Had it not been for Gu Ding's ax, with his combat effectiveness, he would not have been able to break through his enemy's defenses.

Over a hundred of the three hundred corpse dummies were destroyed by Gu Ding and Biggie in less than ten minutes. Biggie was a little breathless from exhaustion because of his previous battle with Potie. On the other hand, Gu Ding, under the ax's guidance, became more and more aggressive as he fought.

At that time, Potie had arrived at the Childe family's residence where Ross had arranged for her to stay temporarily. Ross showed her to a guest room and then left.

As soon as she entered the guest room, Potie checked on her domain. She had expected Gu Ding and his crew to crumble under the repeated attacks of the three hundred corpse dummies. She had seen Gu Ding's strength in his first battle with Ross. He was not at all capable of damaging her demiG.o.d corpse dummies. On the other hand, Elsa had not attacked during their fight with her, and it was obviously due to her lack of strength. Then, there was Lilliath, who had barely been able to help. Moreover, Tagore was battered. Potie acknowledged Biggie's personal strength, but it was clear that he expended a lot of energy during their fight with her. Hence, with so many people dragging him down, he would not last long.

Nevertheless, as soon as Potie stepped into her domain, she sensed that she was short by more than one hundred and twenty corpse dummies. She was greatly surprised. “How could it be? How is this possible?”

“What's impossible? You locked us in your domain, you should have been prepared for us to turn your domain upside down.” Gu Ding smiled somewhat sarcastically. “Besides, I wonder what will happen once we slaughter all the corpse dummies here.”

Potie took a deep breath and looked at Gu Ding. “You really shouldn't have challenged me, but now that it has come to this, I'll show you the real horrors of my domain…”
