CHAPTER 341: CHAPTER 341: YUE KING LUO MING

Decades of virtual memories flooded into his mind out of nowhere, and the massive information torrent caused Zhu Haomiao to crash for a long time before finally coming back to his senses.

Taking a deep breath, Zhu Haomiao frowned with a peculiar expression, feeling that the Great Perfection "Blackening Technique" seemed to have triggered the merging of the divinity of Orochi and Original Sin, leading to a trend toward materialization.

Thinking of the similarly materialized [Luo Hou Sword], the young man shifted his thoughts, and a mysterious dark gold luster surged from within him, covering his body like liquid, manifesting as a luxurious, deep black robe.

The tailored robe resembled the Assassin’s Creed Skin of the First Layer Heaven by seventy percent but was more luxurious and mysterious.

Overall, it presented a subtle black, but the edges of the robe were inlaid with luxurious gold trim. From different angles, the seemingly empty black surface seemed to reveal mysterious and eerie serpent patterns that flickered in and out of view, swaying like living creatures.

If observed closely, one would find that the surface of the robe was made up of extremely tiny dark gold scales, making the entire garment appear as if it was transformed from dragons and snakes.

Looking at the majestic and luxurious noble black robe, Zhu Haomiao softly moved his limbs, feeling as if it were part of himself, with no hindrance whatsoever.

Touching the surface of the robe, sensing its formidable defensive capabilities, the young man raised the corners of his mouth in delight.

This is a conceptual entity combining the divinity of Orochi and the authority of [Gluttony]. Limited by the current LV.3 level of [Gluttony], it is equivalent to a steel heavy armor for now, but as the Original Sin level increases, it will likely rival a true defensive Divine Artifact in the future!

More importantly, Zhu Haomiao had a hunch that he would eventually be able to manifest and solidify it in reality!

Hoo~

Taking a deep breath, the young man suppressed the excitement in his heart and continued to examine the changes in himself.

[Super recovery]

All Attributes +4

Upon seeing this information, Zhu Haomiao realized that he was completely healed, thumping his chest and looking at the Six-dimensional Attributes with surprise.

[God]: 41→58

[Dexterity]: 35→54

[Strength]: 41→64

[Essence]: 40→63

[Qi]: 42→65（5）↑

[Physique]: 94→125[17]↑

The near-death injuries brought unexpected gains. If not for [Super recovery]’s ability to instantly digest an equivalent amount of accumulated attributes, he would have never achieved such exaggerated results in a single round of deep sleep.

Especially with the 1x [Growth Coefficient], his [Physique] attribute grew 8 points out of thin air, digesting 8 points, equivalent to an additional 16-point increase in this round of deep sleep!

This greatly eased the "inventory" pressure!

Rubbing his chin, Zhu Haomiao nodded in satisfaction, pushed open the heavy bronze gate, and left the underground palace straight away.

[Da Zhen]!

Your benevolent one is back~

On returning to the Imperial City, Zhu Haomiao first found Yan Yunsheng to understand the situation, confirming that no special incidents happened during his sleep, and then went to the Arresting Department to cancel his leave.

However, at Yin Tianze, Zhu Haomiao heard some crucial news that was only circulating among the upper echelons.

The Emperor had issued an imperial decree, summoning the [Great General], [Upper Pillar Country], [Yong State Governor], [Military Marquis General], and [Yue King] Luo Ming to the capital.

Just by looking at this string of titles, you could tell these were important figures.

In fact, Luo Ming was an ancient founding figure of [Da Zhen], surviving to present times and was already a Supreme Grandmaster centuries ago!

Although during that tumultuous era, compared to those dazzling Child of Destinies like constant stars, Luo Ming was not particularly notable. But as his contemporaries gradually withered, he became the only remaining stabilizer of [Da Zhen].

Externally, he guarded the frontiers, deterring the Golden Court.

Internally, during every change in imperial power, he would sit in the Imperial City, ensuring a smooth transition of authority.

Therefore, every time the Emperor summoned him to the capital, the underlying message was that the Emperor understood his Heavenly Destiny was exhausted and wanted him to assist the New Emperor in ascending the throne.

Yet, during the interval between the issuance of the decree and Luo Ming’s official entry into the capital, extremely bloody and chaotic coups often erupted.

Because they knew once he entered the capital, the situation would be irreversible, many factions would be like cornered animals, resorting to the most unpretentious methods to eliminate all competitors.

This time, however, it’s unclear what the Emperor was thinking. He neither appointed a Crown Prince nor announced a successor in advance.

This caused all princes eligible to inherit the throne to stare with bloodshot eyes, sharpening their knives, viewing each other as mortal enemies.

There have been emperors in history who clung to power, refusing to relinquish it till their dying breath, but the outcomes were mostly tragic, so severe that the entire country was annihilated amidst supposedly harmonious laughter among brothers.

"Is this Emperor senile?"

Upon hearing the young man’s irreverent remark, Yin Tianze shuddered, hurriedly looked around and covered his mouth.

"You mustn’t say such things lightly!"

Impatiently breaking free from the constraint, Zhu Haomiao glanced at Yin Tianze helplessly.

"Uncle, in this situation, what are you afraid of?"

Noticing that Li Lin was even more reckless after coming out of seclusion this time, with a hint of disregard for the entire world, Yin Tianze advised in a low voice.

"Be careful, walls have ears!"

"So what if they hear? Right now, all eyes are on the throne, who’s got the mind to trouble me?"

With a disdainful sneer, Zhu Haomiao shifted the conversation, curiously asking.

"Uncle, have you ever seen Yue King Luo Ming?"

"Uh... no, the last time he entered the capital was decades ago, I was just a kid then, without even the qualification to meet him."

"Is he strong?"

Rubbing his chin, Zhu Haomiao’s eyes gleamed with excitement, eager to move.

Noticing the young man’s fearless attitude, Yin Tianze was exasperated yet amused.

"Exactly how much have you progressed during this seclusion? Could you actually compare yourself to Yue King?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Haomiao pondered for several seconds, hesitatingly saying: "Discounting physique, I’m currently about at the Peak of Fourth Grade in normal state."

"In terms of actual combat strength, I stand undefeated against the Upper Three Grades, but probably can’t win against a stronger Second Grade."

As for an irregular state, there’s no upper limit - not even he knows how strong he truly is!

But on the other hand, hearing the young man’s "humble" self-assessment, Yin Tianze’s pupils slowly widened, glaring at him with a distorted expression.

"Peak of Fourth Grade?!"

"Uh... is there a problem?"

"You were clearly only Fifth Grade before!"

"Uncle, that was months ago."

"You advance grades monthly?!"

Seeing Yin Tianze’s breakdown expression, Zhu Haomiao realized his advancement speed might be too shocking for the natives, quickly changing the topic.

"Uncle, you haven’t said how strong Yue King is."

Seeing how rigidly the young man shifted the subject, Yin Tianze’s expression twisted as he sighed along the line.
