Global Demon King: Starting as the Abyssal Dragon

[You've assimilated the Void Seed. You've unlocked the option to activate the Level 6 Talent "Void Overlord." Your talent "Spatial-Temporal Dragon" evolved into "Eternal TDragon." Spatial powers +200%, temporal powers +200%!]

Zhang Nu felt a profound transformation after absorbing the divine stone. Although there was no increase in his stats, the changes in other aspects were revolutionary. The most significant change was in his talent and physique; his talent "Spatial-Temporal Dragon" had evolved into "Eternal TDragon."

The effects of the talents are the same, but the skill effect shifted from an active transformation to a passive state. This meant that Zhang Nu no longer needed to actively initiate the Temporal Dragon form; he would always be in this passive state. This brought significant benefits. Typically, transformation skills cannot overlap. If Zhang Nu had activated the Spatial-Temporal Dragon transformation effect, he would not have been able to enter other transformations or states or use sregular skills.

Now, he would always be in the Spatial-Temporal Dragon form. This not only significantly enhanced his spatial and temporal abilities but also allowed him to retain a diverse range of combat strategies, not limited to space and time, thus substantially boosting his overall combat effectiveness.

Besides the change in his abilities, the most important gain was undoubtedly unlocking the option for "Void Overlord." Zhang Nu's two Level 6 talents were now "Primordial Dragon" (or Chaos Dragon God) and "Void Dominator" (or Void Overlord). With the current soul reserves in the Darkness City, activating a Level 6 talent was not difficult for Zhang Nu. The real challenge was choosing the advanced evolutionary path.

Compared to the Primordial Dragon, the Chaos Dragon God was certainly stronger, and compared to the Void Dominator, the Void Overlord was indeed more powerful. After absorbing the Void Seed, Zhang Nu underwent a physical transformation, gaining the ability to upgrade to Void Overlord. This was the primary goal and the most significant gain of obtaining the Void Seed. As Zhang Nu absorbed the Void Seed, a voice resonated:

[You've conquered Void City. You've gained "Lunar Diamond Chest" x1!]

Surprised by the notification, Zhang Nu paused. A Lunar Diamond Chest? He had never heard of it before. He speculated that because the map level of Void City was so high, the reward chest generated upon evaluation surpassed even the Stardust Diamond Chest level. A Lunar Diamond surely offered even higher quality rewards.

Without hesitation, Zhang Nu opened the chest to see what it contained:

[You've opened a Lunar Diamond Chest. You've gained "Gold" ×400 million, "Blueprint: Void Temple" ×1, "Level 5 Special Building Upgrade Scroll" ×3, "Space Gems" ×20,000, "TGems" ×20,000!】

Seeing these rewards, Zhang Nu was genuinely astonished. Although he had anticipated generous rewards, he had not expected them to be this substantial. Actually, considering the overall scale, Void City wasn't particularly large, and the number of monsters wasn't overwhelming. The fact that the rewards were so substantial truly exceeded expectations, likely due to the high levels of the monsters involved. Although there were few in number, their levels were certainly formidable.

Among the spoils of this conquest, there was only one blueprint, but it was a Level 6 special building blueprint. It's important to note that blueprints for Level 5 and above are extremely rare. This was Zhang Nu's first tobtaining a Level 6 blueprint directly.

Just as he completed his mission, perhaps due to the loss of the Void Seed disrupting sbalance, the entire Void City began to crack and shake violently, giving the impression that it could collapse at any moment. At the stime, the rampant spatial turbulence seemed to accelerate toward madness.

It appeared that Void City had one last trap: once the Void Seed was removed, the city would self-destruct, triggering spatial-temporal chaos that significantly intensified the turbulence, leading to a catastrophic and irreversible self-destruction. This process was extremely dangerous. Even a Level 7 mythic being would certainly perish, ultimately ending up without a trace.

However, for Zhang Nu, this was hardly a concern at all. He immediately reverted to his dragon form. Since absorbing the Void Seed, Zhang Nu's body had undergone significant changes. His dark golden scales were now traced with intricate silver patterns, adding a touch of nobility and mystery to his already majestic and imposing form. His massive body was enveloped by silver-white spatial energy, which allowed him to easily navigate through the turbulent area without resistance.

Finally, he returned to Blood Giant Wang Shi's side.

Wang Shi quickly said, "Brother, I'm glad you're out. I was about to go in after you if you didn't cout soon."

"Was I in there for a long time?" Zhang Nu asked, puzzled. To him, the operation seemed quite swift, almost without any delay, and could be described as a quick and decisive battle.

"Why do you look like you've been waiting for a long time?" he continued.

Wang Shi responded, "You've been in there for three days and three nights."

Zhang Nu was slightly surprised but not too taken aback. After all, the flow of tnear Void City was known to be abnormal; spending stthere and experiencing tdilation or compression was expected.

What worried Zhang Nu was the the had been away. Could Chaos Federation and Darkness City have encountered any issues in his absence? With this thought, he realized he couldn't stay away any longer and needed to return to Darkness City quickly. Given the critical nature of the stand-off with the empire, which was likely to pull out all stops and desperately seek reinforcements, the presence of high-level figures like the Doom Prophet being attracted to the area suggested the potential risks of a surprise attack on his hbase if he was away for too long.

Wang Shi noticed the changes in Zhang Nu's body and remarked, "Brother, you seem quite different. Looks like you've succeeded, haven't you?"

Zhang Nu nodded, "I've got what I wanted, and Void City will soon fall into the spatial turbulence. This place will return to normal soon... You've helpedtremendously this time, here is the final payment for you."

He then tossed out two crystals, the agreed-upon compensation. Wang Shi was overjoyed, "Great, not only did I help you find what you wanted, but I also inadvertently completed a long-standing imperial bounty."

Wang Shi was very much looking forward to the reward offered by the empire. Zhang Nu, however, showed little interest, "You can keep the imperial bounty for yourself as extra compensation."

Wang Shi was surprised, "Brother, think about it, this is a bounty from the empire. It's easy to earn at least a hundred million gold coins. Are you sure you want to give it up?"

Zhang Nu nodded. The collapse of Void City would take about two more days, and it would take another ten days to half a month for the chaos in the void to completely settle. Zhang Nu did not have that much tto wait around, "I don't need the reward. I'm not short on money."

Wang Shi's assistance had been significant, and Zhang Nu considered this a fitting reward. Without further delay, Zhang Nu completed his teleportation to leave.
