Chapter 144: The Way to Continue to Become Stronger
"According to the consumption of refining the Lord God's power, at the beginning, the consumption of refining was one-fourth."

"If I can stay at my peak state, refining one drop of divine power will only consume 1.25 trillion ink stones."

"However, as the refining process progresses, my soul power will gradually be consumed, increasing the loss of refining the main god's power."

"So, under normal circumstances, I need 1.5 trillion ink stones to extract one drop of the Lord God's power."

“And judging from my current situation, if I continue to refine, I’m afraid that it will take two trillion to three trillion ink stones to refine the next drop of Lord God’s power.”

Locke breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that my efficiency is quite good.

If Locke remembered correctly, the strong men in Panlong who could extract the power of the main god from currency charged more than 10 trillion ink stones for extracting one drop of the main god's power.

According to Locke's calculations, in order to complete the refining of the Lord God's power, it is necessary to complete the refining within 50 trillion ink stones. Otherwise, the refining speed cannot keep up with the dissipation speed of the Lord God's power, and the light flames of the Lord God's power cannot condense into water droplets of the Lord God's power.

"Let's take a break and recover our soul power first. If we continue to refine it now, the inkstone will be damaged too much. The loss of refining one drop of divine power is enough for me to refine one drop of divine power in a perfect state."

After having this idea, Locke took back the refined power of the Lord God into the space ring and put it together with the two drops of the power of the Lord God left by Bella.

In the following time, Locke was constantly wavering between refining the power of the Lord God and restoring the power of his soul.

Moreover, as Locke became more proficient in refining the power of the Lord God, he was finally able to limit the loss of the power of the Lord God to one quarter.

It was revealed that Locke only needed to consume about 1.25 trillion ink stones to refine one drop of the power of the Lord God.

However, this is the limit of what Locke can do.

In order to truly extract the power of the Lord God without loss, Locke's soul power must be strong enough to extract the power of the Lord God from one trillion ink stones in an instant, or Locke must reach the great perfection and possess the power of will to ensure that the power of the Lord God does not dissipate.

Under such circumstances, as time went on, the power of the main god in Locke's space ring increased.

When Locke had completely consumed all the ink stones in the more than 30,000 space rings, he discovered that there were more than 30 drops of the power of the main god in his space ring.

"More than thirty drops..."

"There are still sixty drops left..."

Looking at the more than thirty drops of the Lord God's power in the space ring, Locke nodded slightly.

Now, all the inkstones that had been stored in the Demon City Wall for more than a thousand years had been used up by him.

In the next millennium, based on the number of newly added demon castles, Locke will be able to extract at least forty drops of the power of the Lord God.

In another thousand years, Locke will be able to collect enough rewards to launch the Demon Castle expansion mission.

Everything is going according to Locke's plan.

……

Locke's water god clone is working hard to expand the demon castle, while Locke's fate god clone and the sanctuary original body begin to wander in hell.

Because of the divine power that is nine times stronger than that of a middle-level god, and the characteristic that the rule system is half a level stronger than the law, the strength of Locke's incarnation of the god of destiny is enough to rival that of an ordinary upper-level god.

Therefore, Locke, who changed his appearance, concealed his soul and obtained a three-star demon badge in the Demon Castle.

Under the deterrence of the three-star demon, Locke's journey did not encounter any twists and turns.

After all, in this era, although there have been Shuras like Locke, and the lords of the 108 mansions are also five-star peak or even six-star demons, the upper gods are still inferior to the high-level combat power.

The lords of many small cities are ordinary higher gods.

Only the lords of medium and large cities will have special lives or divine beasts with strength above four stars.

"Well, let me see..."

On this day, Locke, who had had enough of playing in his current city, came to the demon castle in this city, wanting to take on a demon mission and visit other cities.

"Are there any interesting cities or interesting missions?"

Looking up at the task briefing that appeared on the control, Locke touched his chin and selected them one by one.

"Eh? This mission..."

With a thought, Locke instantly clicked on the introduction of the task that he was interested in.

"Mission type: rescue."

"Mission Summary: The leader of the Black Rock Tribe, Oaks, was attacked by someone and has been in a coma for more than three months. He now needs a strong person with a certain level of spiritual attainment to rescue him."

"Mission reward: three thousand inkstones."

"Mission location: Blackrock Tribe."

The reason why Locke found this task interesting was because of the introduction of this task.

It is not uncommon for a god-level warrior to be severely injured by a surprise attack and fall into a coma.

Especially for lower-level gods, because their divine power is not strong, when they are attacked by the laws contained in them, they cannot dispel the alien laws in their bodies and will continue to suffer harm from the alien laws.

However, since the mission description stated that a strong person with some spiritual attainments was required, then this lower-level god was definitely hit by a spiritual attack.

According to the task prompt, Locke now has two judgments about the situation of the Black Stone Tribe leader. The first one is that the leader who attacked the Black Stone Tribe has a strong spiritual attainment, so strong that he can launch a soul attack like a maggot attached to the bone to torture the leader of the Black Stone Tribe.

The second possibility is that the leader of the Blackrock Tribe has affinity for more than one element. After suffering a soul attack and sustaining severe damage to his soul, his soul mutated. His soul is currently in the process of mutation, which is why he is unconscious.

Whatever the situation, it aroused Locke's interest.

If it is the first type, it will allow Locke to understand this kind of soul attack and enrich Locke's fighting style.

If it is the second type...

Soul mutation is what Locke plans to study after achieving great perfection.

Great Perfection is the pinnacle of achievement in the Panlong Universe’s cultivation.

At present, Locke has locked the incarnation of the God of Destiny into a position of great perfection.

The water god's incarnation also has a great possibility of achieving great perfection.

However, the two great divine clones could not bring about any changes in Locke's strength and status.

As a highly accomplished divine clone, Locke is invincible under the main god and can keep his life under the main god's projection.

The two great divine clones were equally invincible under the main god, but they had not yet allowed Locke to reach the level of facing the main god directly.

At this time, Locke's strength had reached its peak. If he wanted to seek a breakthrough, there were only two ways.

The first is to refine the main godhood and become the main god.

Locke also has some expectations in this regard.

According to Locke's understanding of the Panlong Universe information, in the first war between the main gods, more than a dozen main gods died, and even two dominant-level figures died.

One of the two fallen masters happened to be the master of water.

The ruler of the water system after more than a thousand generations is a female ruler.

It would be a lie for Locke to say that he did not covet this water-based upper godhood.

The second way is soul mutation.

In the Panlong Universe, the souls of some creatures will mutate after encountering deadly danger. Those who successfully survive can integrate their several types of divine power.

Not only divine power, but also the mysteries of different laws can be integrated.

Locke plans to use his soul to attack artificial soul mutants after his clone of the God of Destiny reaches perfection, in order to study the mystery of soul mutation.

Once Locke's research succeeds and he turns himself into a soul mutant, Locke's strength will definitely experience an epic improvement.

Putting aside the mysteries of the laws, Locke only needs to let his own holy domain body refine a godhead of other systems and become a superior god who refines godhead into a god, then he can increase his fused divine power to the strength of the main god's power.

If Locke can successfully complete the fusion of the mysteries of different systems of laws, even if facing the main god, Locke will not be without the ability to fight!
Now, having finally encountered a person who is suspected to be a soul mutant, Locke naturally does not want to let him go.

The soul that is in the process of transformation is also a very valuable research material.

Thinking of this, Locke directly accepted the task, obtained the certificate for accepting the task from the Demon Castle, then left the city and headed towards the Blackrock Tribe.

The Black Stone Tribe is just a small tribe more than one million kilometers away from the city.

There are only three lower-level gods in this tribe.

Except for Oaks, the leader of the Blackrock Tribe, the other two lower gods were only lower gods who had achieved the level of godhood through refining.

Therefore, after Oaks was injured and fell asleep, these two god-level warriors realized that they could not protect the Blackrock Tribe, so they used the Blackrock Tribe's savings of tens of millions of years to issue demonic missions.

In this way, it can not only reduce the covetousness of other god-level strongmen towards the Blackrock Tribe, but if you are lucky, you may even be able to find a strong man who can rescue Chief Oaks.

With the speed of Locke's God of Destiny clone, Locke arrived at the distance of a million miles in less than three days.

Looking at the tribe of less than 10,000 people below his feet, Locke slightly exuded his divine power.

"Gapar, has Koster met the adults?"

After sensing Locke's breath, two figures flew out from the Black Stone Tribe and saluted respectfully in front of Locke.

Especially when they saw the three-star devil badge on Locke's chest, they didn't even dare to breathe.

Three-star demons are at least upper god-level warriors.

In front of such a strong man, let alone the two of them, even if the city guards of some small towns were tied together, they might be killed by the enemy.

In the Panlong Universe, the power gap among the god-level powerhouses is too huge. There are no strong people of the same level, and the weak can only be slaughtered.

This situation continued until the invention of magic battle formations, at which time some improvements were made.

However, even so, it is something that only the Lord God’s Legion, the Palace Army, and some big forces can possess.

Even after more than a thousand generations, the gods in tribes and small cities were no longer qualified to practice magic battle formations.

In front of such a strong man, the two of them could not afford to be rude.
