Chapter 1645: Chapter 1571: Demon Clan Cataclysm, Level Nine Divine Artifact Embryo!

The successive system announcements echoed throughout the Demon Race Microcosm, The Second World, and the Underworld, like a thunderbolt exploding beside countless living beings’ ears!

The King of Greed is dead!

Another Peerless Demon King has been slain by Huang Yi!

No one expected that at The Second World’s most perilous moment, Huang Yi would kill a Demon King’s true form within the Demon’s home turf! 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

The players, who had been oppressed for so long, finally erupted in fervor!

In the most desperate times worldwide, there’s always someone who stands up heroically, using unimaginable ways to save the world!

Outside The Second World, avatars of several Demon Kings trembled violently as if their strength had instantly been drained, turning to stare at the King of Greed with horror.

At this moment, the avatar of the King of Greed was turning to ash bit by bit, a living person slowly scattering and becoming dust in the air, as if they never existed!

The horrific scene etched into their hearts, giving rise to a long-lost fear.

They originally thought they could do whatever they wanted in the Mortal Realm and live eternally, but now, with the Queen of Agony and the King of Greed dead, could they be far behind?

...

The death of the King of Greed immediately triggered a massive chain reaction!

Over endless ages, the King of Greed had signed countless Master-Servant Contracts. With the death of this contract’s source, all his servants, and their servants’ servants... all would die together, drawing countless into a horrific chain death!

On the Star of Greed, the dozen Void Gods rushing to his aid were immobilized, disbelief in their eyes, and then their bodies instantly turned to ash.

Among the billions of interstellar cities within the Star of Greed, high-status demons screamed desperately, but the next moment, their voices were abruptly silenced, leaving only beautiful, empty interstellar cities scattered across the starry sky.

On the earth outside the King of Greed, countless demons were fleeing in all directions like ants on a hot pan, but suddenly all these endless ants were wiped out in an instant, leaving the entire planet a lifeless Dead Star.

The entire Demon Clan population decreased by one-sixth in an instant!

Besides, in various worlds across the universe, countless beings had also signed Master-Servant Contracts with the King of Greed. His minions spread across numerous worlds, concealing in many powers, not even knowing their true master was the King of Greed, but instead had signed contracts with some lower-ranking demons under him.

But with the death of the King of Greed, the source of all contracts, all his subordinates died, and their subordinates suddenly died violently, one layer affecting the next.

Any living being with contractual ties to the King of Greed, no matter how remote the world they hid in, no matter how deep they concealed themselves, all accompanied him in death at this moment.

No one knows how many living beings were erased in this instant across the universe, how many worlds were affected, or the grave impacts.

Apart from NPCs, many players had secretly signed Master-Servant Contracts with the King of Greed and now suffered the heaviest Rebirth Penalty, having to delete their accounts and start over!

These players were expert-level characters, usually hidden in The Second World. Few players like Fire God T.N.T, Martial Emperor Miyamoto Musashi, Spirit Demon, Heavenly Demon, and Unbeaten dared to reveal their Demon Race identity. Most hid, secretly serving the demons, unknown to others, even pretending righteous and valiant, standing with Huang Yi against the demons.

But now that the King of Greed was dead, they were immediately exposed!

At this time, in the sky of The Second World, over a thousand top players were resisting the demons’ Refinement Power, but suddenly, three experts died violently, their bodies turning to ash.

Surrounding onlookers stared blankly, how did comrades fighting against the demons suddenly become ash?

"How did Midnight Prisoner suddenly die?"

"Could he have... reincarnated?"

"No way! Was such a renowned expert also a Demon Clan player?"

"Jiangnan, what’s going on? You two were said to be the strongest two mages in the Styx Sect, always together, didn’t you notice?"

"I don’t know, didn’t expect him to hide so well!" a scholarly male mage said blankly, staring at the player turning to ash.

The three players turning to ash were indeed the King of Greed’s lackeys. They weren’t afraid of the Refining Power killing them because even in death, they could rely on the Demon Clan to become stronger than they were. But now, their dreams shattered.

Among players contracted with the King of Greed, most were actually offline, watching live broadcasts. When they heard announcements of the King of Greed’s death, each panicked, trying to log in, only to find themselves bodiless, floating in the sky, reminiscent of their first login to the Virtual World!

Then, they heard the same system prompt—

"[System Prompt]: Since [King of Greed] is dead, you, as his Contracted Servant, will incur a Rebirth Penalty, your character will be deleted, all your assets will be wiped, and any power you’ve established will be disbanded, all contract pets will die. To continue entering the Virtual World, please create a new character and start anew..."

Years of effort had turned into nothing.

...

At this moment, countless demons were turning to dust, while Huang Yi was reaping a bounty of rewards.

When the Wrath of the Godslayer killed the King of Greed, the King of Greed’s blood transformed into a torrent, rushing into the Wrath of the Godslayer.

Wrath of the Godslayer suddenly brimmed with Blood Qi as every groove on the axe drank in the Blood of a Mortal God, even emitting joyful dragon roars resonating across the starry sky.

Meanwhile, a soul drifted from the King of Greed’s corpse, hideous but bewildered, clearly the King of Greed’s soul.

This soul initially headed for the Underworld, but Wrath of the Godslayer exuded an irresistible pull, forcibly absorbing the King of Greed’s soul in.

Then, Wrath of the Godslayer burst into dazzling light, radiant with Divine Light, circulating glow, achieving a grand elevation.

"[System Prompt]: You killed the Mortal God [King of Greed], and [Wrath of the Godslayer] absorbed his blood and soul, advancing to a Level Nine Divine Artifact Embryo. The next upgrade requires absorbing a god’s blood and soul."

Finally, Wrath of the Godslayer ascended another level!

The King of Greed was an established Mortal God, his blood and soul perfectly met the conditions for Wrath of the Godslayer’s upgrade, pushing it to the Ninth Level height.

Now, Wrath of the Godslayer is just one level away from becoming a finished Divine Artifact, and this level is the hardest, needing to kill a god!

Even Mortal Gods no longer suffice; one must slay a god to ascend this final level!

Wrath of the Godslayer is the most difficult artifact Huang Yi has ever encountered to complete. Named after him, even its Artifact Skills are customized by him, but if it can reach completion, it will undoubtedly be the strongest artifact.
