Virus King - Chapter 382

Chapter 382: The True Value of the Cult of the Plague!

TL: YYang

Chen Bai blinked. He suddenly realized that, damn it, he might have been grinding levels so obsessively lately that he’d gone a little mad.

The greatest benefit and enhancement the Plague World and the Cult of the Plague brought him—he seemed to have completely forgotten about it?!

What was the real treasure of the Plague World for him?!

Was it the Cult of the Plague’s equipment? High-level skills? The entire world? Or the countless plague creatures that made up its faithful followers?!

No!

It was the endless array of unknown viruses cultivated by the sect that mastered the art of plague and virus manipulation to perfection!

Chen Bai’s current strength did, admittedly, come largely from his profession, but if he truly thought about it, his innate talent was the foundation of his power.

And the source of that talent? Naturally, it stemmed from the evolution points generated by absorbing all kinds of viruses.

These evolution points further unlocked the full capabilities of his innate talent.

Right now, the Abyssal Toxin virus he had cultivated alone had given him over a thousand Universal Evolution Points. If he absorbed all the viruses produced here, what kind of boost would that be?!

At this thought, Chen Bai’s eyes lit up.

He immediately asked, “How much of the virus serums you’ve mastered can you refine right now?!”

Sarulance and Festus exchanged a glance. They didn’t understand why their True God was so excited. However, they had witnessed Chen Bai’s earlier actions with their own eyes.

Such a terrifying Abyssal Virus was fully absorbed into his body. Naturally, their True God must have his reasons.

After a brief moment of hesitation, the two of them smiled bitterly and shook their heads helplessly.

“Master, producing virus serums is extremely difficult. It requires raw materials and extensive cultivation facilities. While we’ve indeed mastered these plague-based abilities, creating the serums requires certain materials and equipment from the Plague World,” they said.

The Plague World again!

Chen Bai hadn’t been particularly anxious about it before, but now it seemed like he had no choice but to speed things up.

“Is there no way for you to enter the Plague World now to retrieve those materials and viruses?” he asked.

The two shook their heads.

“Great Lord, the World Jar cannot contain any intelligent lifeforms. Therefore, the only way to enter is after completing the sacrificial ritual. Otherwise, the Plague World itself must be fully integrated first,” they explained.

Chen Bai nodded and exhaled deeply.

From the looks of it, integrating the Plague World wasn’t just about maximizing the effects of his Second Profession Transfer task. It also held the true inheritance of the Plague World!

However, integrating the Plague World required an elevation of his Abyssal Authority.

It was surprising how these two professions had intertwined in such a strange way at this moment.

Chen Bai had no choice but to quickly organize his thoughts, and soon he understood the situation clearly.

The task tied to leveling up and completing the Second Profession Transfer had inadvertently put him in a temporary deadlock!

However, aside from perfecting the world, the Second Profession Transfer task also included spreading the plague?!

Spreading plagues… well, Chen Bai had never been particularly interested in that. After all, spreading a plague inherently meant slaughter.

He wasn’t a good person, but mindless slaughter wasn’t something he was inclined to do unless it served a purpose.

Under such circumstances, it seemed like there wasn’t much else he could do, right?

Chen Bai soon found something he could focus on.

After returning Sarulance to White Emperor City, he headed directly to the 24th Layer of the Abyss.

Although Chen Bai didn’t expect his current strength to allow him to conquer enough Abyssal layers to elevate his Abyssal Authority and facilitate the integration of the Plague World with the 552nd Layer of the Abyss anytime soon…

At the very least, he needed to keep himself busy, right?

Thus, Chen Bai’s goal became simple.

After acquiring the Golden Hand, he had spent a considerable amount of gold recently. However, the boost it provided to his attributes was undeniable.

Of course, he hadn’t yet used the 1,000+ evolution points he had just obtained.

The Abyssal Lords beyond the 24th Layer were all above level 40.

But Chen Bai’s strength couldn’t simply be measured by levels.

Back when he was barely level 20, he had already been able to fight against entities above level 40.

Now, at level 30, even though he hadn’t completed his Second Profession Transfer to become an intermediate evolver, the constraints and suppression from higher levels had significantly diminished.

The Abyssal Lord of the 24th Layer was a particularly unique entity.

Even Chen Bai remembered it vividly.

This was why he had stopped at the 23rd Layer without advancing further.

The Abyssal Lord of the 24th Layer wasn’t a demon.

Instead, it was a particularly unique and sinister creature: the Demon-Hunting Spider!

This was a horrifying and evil creature classified as a level 500 entity. It survived by hunting demons. However, compared to other creatures, it had significantly less intelligence and self-awareness.

It relied more on its primal hunting instincts.

But for such a creature to become the Abyssal Lord of the 24th Layer was a testament to its formidable strength!

Chen Bai’s eyes slowly opened. Beneath the dark Abyssal Well lay a world filled with piled-up bones.

Around the unreachable Abyssal Well, nothing else was visible. A dense layer of spiderwebs spanned the entire sky.

The webs covered nearly everything in sight.

There were few demonic creatures on the 24th Layer of the Abyss. Aside from the demon eggs that occasionally erupted from the distant Abyssal Well, any demons that wandered into this layer, whether from higher or lower levels, were instantly devoured by the ferocious Demon-Hunting Spider.

Undoubtedly, the 24th Layer of the Abyss was the Demon-Hunting Spider’s feeding ground.

As Chen Bai leapt from the Abyssal Well to the upper layer of the snow-white web, an indescribable chill locked onto him instantly.

At the far edge of this white world, Chen Bai sensed a figure hurtling toward him with incredible speed!
