Global Demon King: Starting as the Abyssal Dragon

Chapter 180: Sky Drake Sovereign



[You opened the Chaos Forest Treasure Chest!]

[You've activated the title: "Ruler of the Chaos Forest"!]

[You've gained "Gold" x 100 million, "Blueprint: Demon King's Resurrection Altar" x 1, "Blueprint: Demon King's Training Tower" x 1, "Ten Elemental Energy Gems" x 10,000 each!]

Upon opening the exclusive treasure chest, Zhang Nu felt an immediate transformation within himself and the surrounding environment. The energies of the entire Chaos Forest seemed to flow through him, enhancing all his attributes and abilities.

After some investigation, Zhang Nu learned that this was the effect of the new title: "Ruler of the Chaos Forest."

[Title: Ruler of the Chaos Forest]

Monarch Level Title.

MP +5000 permanently.

HP +5000 permanently.

When you are within the Chaos Forest, your HP and MP are additionally increased by +5000, all stats +25%, recovery speed +100%.

Gain the ability to teleport within the region, usable once every thirty minutes.

Under your rule, the resources in the Chaos Forest +20%, and all subjects' stats +10%, subjects' loyalty +10%.

......

As Zhang Nu laid eyes on the effects of the title, he was utterly astonished. The bonuses it granted were not just powerful but also bordering on terrifying! Having a fixed attribute boost of up to 5000 points for both HP and MP was an immense and formidable enhancement.

However, that was only the standard effect.

When inside the Chaos Forest, the title's powers surged even further, granting an astonishing additional 10,000 points to both HP and MP. The cumulative increase reached an overwhelming 20,000 points! This was an unimaginable enhancement, especially for someone like Zhang Nu, who already possessed remarkable defense and durability.

The title's strength was on par with mythic equipment, but its uniqueness laid in its invulnerability---it couldn't be taken away or dispelled. Only by utterly destroying the Chaos Forest and the Chaos Federation could its effects be nullified, leaving no other means to neutralize it.

Furthermore, within the Chaos Forest, the title offered additional boosts to various stats and recovery speed, enabling Zhang Nu to teleport over vast distances without relying on teleportation fields, what a godly ability! Additionally, the title's blessings extended to Zhang Nu's territory and subjects. It increased resource production within his dominion, elevated his subjects' stats, and enhanced their loyalty.

The value of this title was truly immeasurable, far surpassing the rewards from ordinary Demon King treasure chests. And the contents of this exclusive treasure chest did not just stop at the title.

The reward of 100 million gold alone thrilled Zhang Nu. Even for him, this was an enormous sum.

But that was not all, there were two valuable blueprints included as well:

[Blueprint: Demon King's Resurrection Altar] Level 5 Special Blueprint. Costs gold x50 million, life gem x5000, undeath gem x5000, soul gem x2000, Level 5 soul x10. You may construct a Demon King's Resurrection Altar within your territory.

[Blueprint: Demon King's Training Tower] Level 5 Special Blueprint. Costs gold x20 million, wind, fire, water, and earth gems x2000 each, spirit gems x1000, enchanted stones x30000. You may construct a Demon King's Training Tower within your territory.

Both blueprints were Level 5 and belonged to the category of special buildings. They were extraordinarily valuable and incomparable to ordinary Level 5 structures in terms of cost and benefits. It was evident that these two blueprints were incredibly rare and could only be obtained from super treasure chests.

The "Demon King's Resurrection Altar" was self-explanatory in its function. It had the extraordinary capability to preserve the souls of the Demon King and his subordinates. With this altar in place, the souls of both the Demon King and any subjects in the territory would be preserved upon death. Zhang Nu could then choose to resurrect himself or any fallen subordinate as long as he possessed their intact soul.

While Zhang Nu felt that he himself might not have much use for the resurrection altar given his current strength and the nigh impossibility of his death, he understood its immense value to others. With this altar, anyone loyal to him, such as Zhang San, Li Si, Nancilia, and any other subjects, need not fear unexpected deaths.

Furthermore, Zhang Nu could obtain souls from other sources. If he managed to bring back an intact soul to his territory, he could resurrect that person. An ability like this was of immeasurable value.

Certainly, the Demon King's Resurrection Altar was incredible, but resurrecting any target came with a cost. Not to mention the sheer expense of constructing the resurrection altar was daunting, requiring a couple dozen millions of gold, a large number of precious gems, and the consumption of five Level 5 souls as materials.

At present, Zhang Nu lacked the necessary conditions to create such an extravagant structure.

However, another blueprint emerged from the treasure chest - the "Demon King's Training Tower." It seemed to be a training-type building, akin to the "The Tower of Lost Trials", but undoubtedly far superior, being a special Level 5 construction. Despite its considerable cost, Zhang Nu's current financial strength made it affordable, and the value of creating such a tower was evident.

Besides the immensely powerful title, top-tier blueprints, and 100 million gold, the treasure chest also contained a staggering amount of 100,000 gems, each covering ten attributes: Wind, Fire, Water, Earth, Light, Dark, Thunder, Life, Undeath, and Spirit, with 10,000 gems for each attribute.There was no need to doubt that this was a tremendous fortune. These materials would be vital for the development of his territory.

Zhang Nu was extremely satisfied with the quantity and scale of these rewards. Truly, this super treasure chest lived up to its name, surpassing even the diamond-level ordinary reward chests. It was just a pity that obtaining such treasure chests was an incredibly difficult task.

With his rewards collected, Zhang Nu approached the Soul Altar where the newest batch of souls had been produced. Despite the busyness of the recent period, he made sure not to neglect the management of souls. Now, his soul reserves had become quite substantial. Already possessing a considerable number of souls, Zhang Nu had recently been profiting by selling Level 4 souls at a higher price. Leveraging the Soul Altar, he aggressively exploited other Demon Kings, leading to a massive increase in the quantity of souls in his possession.

At present, his soul count stood at: 575 Level 3 souls, 36 Level 4 souls, and 5 Level 5 souls. Among them, the Level 3 souls were the most abundant in stock and served as the raw materials for Level 4 souls due to the time-consuming process of soul synthesis as Zhang Nu had no way to synthesize all the souls in time.

As the Soul Altar could only combine multiple lower-level souls into higher-level ones and not vice versa, it was crucial to retain some souls in reserve. By doing so, his Demon King subordinates could exchange for a certain amount, and Chen Guoguo and the others could purchase souls whenever necessary. This way, they would not just possess wealth without the means to enhance their strength.

Having amassed a surplus of souls, Zhang Nu decided to utilize a portion of them first. With their quantity, he could now activate a Level 5 talent for himself.

However, before that, there was one more important task at hand. Zhang Nu summoned the archpriest and had him ascend the Demon King's Altar.

[Upgrade "Sky Drake Archpriest" to "Sky Drake Sovereign"? The upgrade costs 20 million gold + 2000 light gems +2000 fire gems + 5 Level 5 Hero's souls!]

Zhang Nu had specially prepared these five Level 5 Hero's Souls for Li Si's upgrade.

The cost for this advancement was undoubtedly exorbitant, and in the past, Zhang Nu would have struggled to afford it. However, the current situation was vastly different. He was now blessed with an abundant wealth of gold, a surplus of precious gems, and even a considerable number of souls.

Naturally, he was eager to make use of these resources and allow them to fulfill their potential. Compared to these riches, having a monarch-level priest would undoubtedly provide greater aid to the territory.

"Upgrade!" Zhang Nu confirmed his choice.

Instantly, the Demon King's Altar erupted with a fierce brilliance. The intensity of this light was blinding, making it impossible to keep one's eyes open. This radiant light persisted for several minutes, then a profound and majestic monarch's aura enveloped the surroundings.

The upgrade was successful!

The Archpriest, Li Si, underwent a remarkable transformation. Not only did he appear younger, but he also grew much taller. His entire body was covered in crimson scales adorned with numerous seven-colored magical patterns that emitted a radiant glow, resembling striking tattoos, exuding an eerie and mysterious aura.

[Sky Drake Sovereign: Li Si] Level 5 monarch unit. HP 4000, MP 8000, Strength ???, Constitution 120, Agility 165, Will 800, Loyalty 100%(Locked), Fatigue 10%, Hunger 10%.

Skill: Inferno Seven-Headed Drake Form (Talent), Sacrificial Domain (Talent), Demon King Summoning (Talent), Mastery of the Seven Elements (Talent), Group Teleportation, Spatial Teleportation, Spatial Ripping, Blood Ritual, Teleportation Field, etc...

In a flash of light, Li Si teleported right before Zhang Nu. He respectfully knelt down, saying, "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!"

Satisfied, Zhang Nu nodded. Li Si's current strength was undoubtedly on par with Zhang San's, if not even surpassing him in individual combat and single-unit destructive power. Being a unit proficient in seven elemental magics and space manipulation, Li Si might even outperform Zhang San in some aspects.

However, each had their own specialties. Zhang San excelled as a strategist and commander, and leading troops was where he truly shined. With these two monarch-level entities under his command, Zhang Nu knew their combined might would be formidable. Even formidable beings like Han Kexin, a super monarch-level existence whose power reached the ceiling of Level 5 monarchs, would have to think twice before confronting them head-on."
