Chapter 418: The Nine Major Types of Divine Bodies, A Mysterious Tentacle
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Earth Divine Realm…
The Forest Divine Realm…
The Tempest Divine Realm…
The Oceanic Divine Realm…
The Flaming Divine Realm…
…
Like a hardworking little bee, Meng Lei hopped from one Divine Realm to another. In under half a month’s time, he had visited nine of the Divine Realms and was left with just the Thunderbolt Divine Realm in the end.
At the same time, Meng Lei’s Wealth also reached an unprecedented 500 Supreme Divinity Crystals.
500 Supreme Divinity Crystals!
That was the equivalent of 5,000,000 trillion Divinity Crystals!
This was practically inconceivable!
Of course, Meng Lei also plundered and took a few major types of origin divine bodies along the way. Following his fire-origin divine body, ice-origin divine body, and wind-origin divine body, Meng Lei also gained a water-origin divine body, earth-origin divine body, and light-origin divine body.
In other words, Meng Lei had assimilated a total of nine major origin divine body types and was only missing one last type now—the dark-origin divine body.
“I really don’t understand why you’re assimilating all these useless origin divine bodies for!”
Moro was greatly puzzled. He said, “Origin divine bodies may be powerful, but they are just things that sound precious but are of little practical value to you now. What you should be doing now is fusing supreme laws of nature together and trying your best to comprehend genesis laws of nature, and not wasting time doing these meaningless things!”
Meng Lei gave him a smile in response. He understood what Moro was saying—indeed, origin divine bodies were certainly very powerful. Any deity that owned an origin divine body would receive priority grooming privileges from their clans because all of them would ultimately be able to attain Great Perfection-level as long as their origin divine bodies weren’t killed.
Great Perfection deities!
To a godly clan, their significance was something self-evident. However, the Great Perfection level was nothing to the current Meng Lei. What he should be currently pursuing were genesis laws of nature and becoming a… Supreme God that stood above the Juggernauts!
Therefore, Meng Lei’s act of pursuing origin divine bodies was tantamount to neglecting the essentials to run after trifles and giving up a precious jewel to go after worthless rubble instead. This was exactly what Moro was thinking.
“You can just take it that I have obsessive-compulsive disorder, I guess!”
Meng Lei laughed and said, “Since I’ve already assimilated a few of the major origin divine body types, then why not gather them all? I just took them along the way anyway. It’s not like it takes much effort to do so.”
“Well, it’s your call, I suppose.”
Moro shook his head and didn’t continue to argue with Meng Lei over such trivialities.
“Next stop, the Thunderbolt Divine Realm!”
Meng Lei detected with his senses the direction in which the Thunderbolt Divine Realm was. Then, he cast the Great World-Breaching Transfer Technique and swiftly teleported over. His Great World-Breaching Transfer Technique held incredible might at his current level and could cross a great distance of hundreds of thousands of light-years just by teleporting once.
In fact, if he were to use it at his full power, even crossing a distance of millions of light-years wouldn’t be any problem. It was no exaggeration to say that the vast universe was no different from a mountain to the current Meng Lei. He could tour the entire mountain in just a few days.
A few hours later, Meng Lei finally arrived at the Thunderbolt Divine Realm.
The Thunderbolt Divine Realm was the first Divine Realm that Meng Lei had come into contact with. He had first gotten to know of it through the Titan Spiritual God. It was because that guy had received grooming from the Theodore Titan Gods that Meng Lei had come to know of the Thunderbolt Divine Realm’s existence.

In Meng Lei’s eyes at that time, just how immensely far away a target had the Thunderbolt Divine Realm been? And how strong and powerful the Theodore Titan Gods? In fact, even the Titan Spiritual God himself had been an incredibly strong and powerful entity to him back then,
Yet a short period of a few years later, Meng Lei had taken the life of even the Theodore Titan Chief God himself. A mere Titan Spiritual God didn’t even amount to anything anymore.
How things had changed with time, and how different everything looked now!
Meng Lei chose the Haber Colossal Dragon Gods as his first stop.
It hadn’t been long since the Earth Divine Realm battle, so news of the 100 Chief Gods’ deaths had yet to spread. As the storm had yet to reach the Haber Colossal Dragon Gods, the place felt incredibly peaceful and quiet.
People who should be cultivating were cultivating while people who should enjoy their beauty sleep were enjoying their beauty sleep. It was a sight of peace and harmony.
“Ignorance… Can also be a kind of happiness sometimes.”
Meng Lei appeared above the Haber Colossal Dragon Gods’ base. As he gazed at the clan currently still in a peaceful and harmonious state, he couldn’t help but shake his head a little. Then, he located their treasury and teleported into it.
Heaps and heaps of Laws of Nature Origin Crystals!
Heaps and heaps of Divinity Crystals!
Of course, because the Colossal Dragons loved shiny and glittery things like gold coins and so on, Meng Lei also noticed a fair amount of gold coins in the Haber Colossal Dragon Gods’ treasury.
Collect! Collect them all!
His Wealth spiked once more.
After collecting them all, various treasures were the only things that remained in the treasury. There were heaps of Crystallized Divine Spirit Extracts, innumerable divine weapons, and countless precious herbs and medicines. All of these were useless to Meng Lei, so he tossed them all into the Tower of Time, intending to give them all to Puhaman and the others after they were done with assimilating their Chief God divine cores.
However, one could easily imagine that they would have already made the leap to become great, supreme Chief Gods by the time they came out of seclusion, so they probably wouldn’t take a fancy to these ordinary treasures anymore.
Meng Lei subsequently found the Haber Colossal Dragon Chief God’s personal treasury.
It was pretty much more or less the same as all the other Chief Gods’ personal treasuries. There were no vulgar, temporal things like Divinity Crystals or precious herbs and medicines in the Haber Colossal Dragon Chief God’s personal treasury. The only things there were ancient artifacts like Void Beast body remains, Demon Grandmasters’ sharp teeth, Chief God-level divine weapons, and so on.
Meng Lei didn’t hold any interest in these things. He kept the ones that he should keep and tossed the ones that he should toss to the little golden tree. In the end, only one item was left.
This was a pillar whose thickness was that of someone circling their arms together. Measuring about a meter in diameter and ten meters in length, its surface was covered in tiny and dense scales. It appeared simple and unadorned and looked completely inconspicuous. In spite of that, Meng Lei nevertheless broke into a frown…
… Because he could feel an incredibly strong life force in the odd pillar.
It looks like a broken horn or tentacle from some kind of creature. But no matter what it is, isn’t the life force it contains a little too scary? It’s even scarier than the Space Dominus!
Meng Lei could hardly hide the astoundment in his eyes. At his level of cultivation, he was already a knowledgeable man with broad horizons. Hardly anything attracted his attention now.
And yet… This particular pillar had managed to do so!
But wasn’t this just an ordinary pillar?!
What kind of creature’s organ is this, exactly? A Void Beast’s? That’s not quite possible, though.
Even the strongest Void Beast out there was no stronger than a Juggernaut. No matter how fearsome their body was, their life force couldn’t get any much stronger than a Juggernaut’s.
Moreover, the pillar had a very peculiar body makeup and composition. It was unlike any other creature in the universe. To be more accurate, there was no sign of any laws of nature in it at all.
Now, that was incredible!
One must know that every creature that the universe birthed—including even the Void Beasts born in the Void itself—was deeply stamped with the mark of the universe’s laws of nature.
This was just like how all lives born on Earth were carbon-based lifeforms. Just like what the name suggested, they were lifeforms founded on the basis of carbon atoms.
By the same logic, all lives born by the vast universe were born and formed under the influence of the ten basic laws of nature, five supreme laws of nature, and three great genesis laws of nature. Thus, their body compositions were completely marked by the universe’s laws of nature.
Yet, that wasn’t the case for this particular pillar. One couldn’t see any sign of the universe’s laws of nature on it at all. Rather, it was a body composition that was entirely new and unfamiliar!
Now, that was incredible!
“Do you recognize this, Moro?” asked Meng Lei.
Moro had been staring hard at the pillar for a while now. His brows occasionally drew together and occasionally relaxed. It was as if he recognized it, yet also not. Upon Meng Lei’s question, he shook his head and replied, “I’ve never seen anything like that before, but I have some kind of vague idea in my mind.”
“Tell me about it,” said Meng Lei.
“That thing is obviously some kind of lifeform’s organ, but you can’t see any sign of the universe’s laws of nature in its composition at all. Therefore, my bold guess is that there’s a chance that it may originate from beyond the universe,” replied Moro.
“From beyond the universe?”
A huge jolt went through Meng Lei.
“Yes, from beyond the universe.”
Moro’s voice was low and deep as he said, “The universe is endless and boundless. As lifeforms born by the universe, we are unaware of what lies beyond the universe, but this doesn’t stop us from making bold conjectures.”
“Go on,” urged Meng Lei.
“Mortals that live in low-end existential planes have never been aware of the existence of mid-end existential planes, high-end existential planes, or even supreme existential planes.”
Moro said slowly, “By the same logic, is there an even more spacious and higher-grade world outside of the universe that we live in?
“As the saying goes, there are mountains beyond mountains and heavens beyond heavens. Perhaps we, who think that we are great, mighty existences, are also little turtles living in a tiny pond. Who’s to say for sure?”
A huge jolt mentally went through Meng Lei. What Moro said made sense.
