Chapter 375: King Rank Feedback
Chapter 375: King Rank Feedback
In the 12th District, within the Zero Organization's base.
With Lu Wu's assistance, the Celestial Cloud Sword greedily absorbed the energy from the Flowing Blade of Fire.
As massive amounts of energy poured in, the sword's radiance continued to flourish.
After about three minutes, the Celestial Cloud Sword's radiance had returned to its state before unleashing the Divine Sword Technique.
Lu Wu could once again deliver that terrifying strike capable of injuring a 3-star King Rank.
And this was just the beginning.
As time passed, the light on the Celestial Cloud Sword began to gradually bloom.
Ten minutes later.
The Celestial Cloud Sword's power, originally at the 2-star Lord level, skyrocketed to 3-star Lord, and it continued its progression towards the King Rank.
As a summoned beast of the Sacred Artifact class.
And as a peak existence among Sacred Artifacts.
The Celestial Cloud Sword was different from ordinary summoned beasts.
As long as it had sufficient energy, it could improve, and there was no such thing as a calm state for it.
The gap between the 3-star Lord and the King Rank was a chasm for others, but for the Celestial Cloud Sword, it was merely a slightly larger ditch. Once the water in the ditch was full, it could easily cross over.
And indeed, in less than twenty minutes.
The light on the Celestial Cloud Sword's blade became even more radiant.
The entire sword trembled slightly, conveying a sense of joy to Lu Wu.
It was about to break through to the King Rank.
Just as Lu Wu had anticipated.
The scene of the Celestial Cloud Sword's breakthrough to the King Rank was spectacular.
As it advanced towards the King Rank, astonishing changes began to occur outside the base where Lu Wu was located.
Countless dark clouds gathered in an instant, causing the sky, which had already brightened with the morning light, to quickly darken.
At the same time, a fierce wind arose.
Layer upon layer of dark clouds in the sky began to generate terrifying lightning bolts, and the thunderclaps, like explosions in one's ears, made people's scalps tingle for dozens of miles around.
"What's going on? What's happening?"
The people inside the base were utterly bewildered.
They began searching for the cause of all this.
When they realized that the source of it all seemed to be the Ninth Apostle's lair, their initially tense hearts instantly relaxed.
"So it was caused by the Ninth Apostle. That's quite normal."
"Such a grand scene, the Ninth Apostle must be about to break through to the Epic Rank."
All the base members were excited.
After all, they were considered part of the Ninth Apostle's inner circle.
Once the Ninth Apostle broke through, they would naturally rise alongside him.
But their excitement didn't last long. Soon, someone noticed something amiss.
"Look, isn't there a person's silhouette in the sky?"
"It seems so, and he appears to be holding a sword."
"He's raising the sword, and lightning is gathering around it. What is he trying to do!"
"Is he going to strike us? Quick, we have to..."
Before they could finish their sentence, Lu Wu, suspended in the sky, slashed his sword.
A circular sword aura instantly spread out.
Terrifying lightning accompanied the sword light, pouring down like rain, and thunderous roars followed.
The entire base where Lu Wu was located was instantly submerged.
After ten minutes, when the electrical flashes subsided, this vast base was reduced to ruins, with only the Ninth Apostle's lair remaining relatively intact.
Lu Wu, who had caused all this, turned his gaze to the Celestial Cloud Sword in his hand, which still glowed with divine light, examining its attributes after its promotion to the King Rank.

Explanation: It's being mischievous again.
...
Lu Wu had absorbed the Flowing Blade of Fire, putting it into a deep slumber, and in return, the Celestial Cloud Sword reached the King Rank.
The King Rank Celestial Cloud Sword granted Lu Wu the Divine Sword Technique - Divine Wrath, and he awakened the Divine Judgment skill and Faith Collection talent.
Lu Wu wasn't sure about the talent, but he knew Divine Judgment was incredibly powerful, even more so than Divine Wrath.
This new skill significantly boosted Lu Wu's combat strength.
Before the Celestial Cloud Sword's advancement, Lu Wu's power was around the 2-Star King Rank. With Divine Wrath, he could injure a 3-Star opponent.
Now, with Divine Judgment, Lu Wu was confident he could take on the Ninth Apostle at full strength in a 50-50 fight.
Of course, if he didn't kill the Apostle with one strike, he'd have to face the consequences.
And this 50-50 chance only applied to a one-on-one fight. If the Apostle brought the Earth Bear and the Succubus Queen, Lu Wu knew he wouldn't stand a chance.
"It's already pretty good."
Lu Wu had some skills obtained from the 67th, 71st, and Ninth Apostles, and once he mastered them, he believed he could reach the 2-Star King Rank, further enhancing his combat power.
Overall, Lu Wu was quite satisfied with his current strength.
After admiring the Celestial Cloud Sword in his hand, Lu Wu left the base.
After all, with such a commotion, if he didn't leave now, the Zero Organization would catch up to him.
Unbeknownst to Lu Wu, shortly after his departure, a woman emerged from the ruins of the base. If Lu Wu were there, he'd recognize her as the Ninth Apostle, whom he believed was dead.
She wasn't actually dead.
At the courtyard, she had narrowly escaped death by using a legendary artifact to teleport back to the base, severely injured but alive.
But Lu Wu's relentless pursuit caught her again, and with another strike, her injuries worsened, leaving her in a pitiful state.
After seeing Lu Wu off, the Ninth Apostle immediately returned to her lair.
The moment she entered, she froze.
Her most precious photo was missing.
"Was it him? Did he take my photo?"
The photo's disappearance made the Ninth Apostle forget her injuries, feeling anxious, angry, and wanting to chase after Lu Wu to retrieve it.
"Wait, why would he take that photo?"
The Apostle suddenly realized something.
While the photo was precious to her, it held no value to others.
"Unless..."
A light of understanding flashed in the Apostle's eyes, and she thought of a possibility.
Just then, a necklace around her chest glowed, indicating an incoming communication. The Apostle hesitated but accepted the call.
"Ninth, I've received news that there's been some trouble on your end. There's an Epic-level energy fluctuation, and your base shows high-energy reactions. Is there an invasion? Do you need my help?"
The Ninth Apostle glanced at the spot where her photo once hung and, without hesitation, declined the offer.
"I can handle it myself!"
She ended the call and stared at the empty spot, lost in thought.
