Am I a god-tier talent in all my professions?

Chapter 167 Level 3 Death Priest

Sure enough, the headquarters of the Church of Death was much more magnificent and imposing than the one Mu had taken him to.

Although it is still hidden deep in the valley.

But once inside, it's a completely different world.

The cave has a huge interior space, as if it has hollowed out the entire mountain.

One giant pillar after another, carved with images of the myriad creatures of the world who died in agony.

Lu Cang and his two companions ventured deeper inside.

The powerful restriction that Lu Cang sensed was also in this direction.

"Sister Kumironi, the Church of Life has been investigating this place for so long, have they found anything?"

"Indeed, there have been quite a few discoveries."

"Actually, the reason we sent the investigation team here some time ago was to try to break the seal and restriction at the deepest part of this cave."

"Can't Iz crack it?" Lu Cang asked.

Kumironi shook his head: "This restriction is not a type of magic."

"It consists of pure ritual and sacrifice."

If it's a magical restriction, Izzy can easily break it. In fact, if it's a restriction that contains even a little bit of magic, Izzy can find a way to break it from a magical perspective.

But purely ritualistic things are indeed troublesome.

Although Iz was quite skilled in ritual studies, she wasn't proficient enough to easily crack... a level 7 puzzle.

Lu Cang had only seen two restrictions of level 7 difficulty.

One is from the Dark Church, and the other is right here.

Besides these, the highest level restrictions are the Temple of Light, the Temple of Life, the Temple of Fortune, and the level 6 restrictions of the major churches.

Oh, the Cold Church is a level 5 restriction.

"Um……"

"Sister Kumironi, I can try it later."

In fact, Lu Cang has already broken the restriction.

The sensory perception has reached inside.

But... what is this huge, black egg that keeps throbbing?
I have a feeling it's something extremely ominous.

Lu Cang's first thought was to stay away.

But then I realized that this thing is still just an egg, not yet hatched, which is the best time to eliminate the threat.

If it were to actually hatch.

If there is no threat, there is no need to run now. But if there is a threat, it would be a threat on the scale of the entire continent, and then there would be no way to escape.

Instead, they might regret not eliminating the threat sooner.

After thinking it through, Lu Cang made his decision.

Regardless of whether it can hatch in the future, let's kill it while it's still not fully grown.

"Little Lu Cang, do you have a solution?"

Lu Cang nodded slightly: "I've recently gained some insights into decryption, which might be able to break this restriction."

Kumironi said worriedly, "This is a very difficult restriction."

"There's no harm in trying, right?" Lu Cang grinned.

"Um, okay."

However, before that, the most important thing is definitely to change jobs.

The three arrived at the advancement formation for job change.

The formation for the promotion ceremony was perfectly preserved, and Lu Cang stood in the very center of the formation.

Kumiloni raised the emerald green cane in his hand.

Silently to myself: Sophia... I really did not betray the principles of life.

Today I also saved many lives that were on the verge of death, and recently I have also treated many injured and sick people.

In order to help Lu Cang get promoted today.

Kumiloni has been staying at the Church of Life these past few days, personally treating many injured and sick people.

Normally, she wouldn't need to do these tasks herself.

Kumiloni's resolve was renewed.

Promoting Lu Cang is to enable him to better practice the principles of life in the future.

hum!
The lights of the promotion ceremony shone brightly!
An extremely dense aura of death descended from the sky, fixed on the direction where Lu Cang was located!

Such intense gazes, such a strong aura of death.

Moreover, Lu Cang vaguely felt an extremely complex sensation.

This gaze from death has nothing to do with white.

God and the source you face during ascension are two different things.

At this moment, Lu Cang could actually sense a hint of anticipation emanating from the source of death he was about to face.

Demanding a soul.

Demanding death.

Lu Cang raised his hand, and a flood of black ant corpses and demonic remains poured out in heaps.

At the same time, souls were being sacrificed to the sky, rising ever higher!
Death was sacrificed, souls were sacrificed.

This is the code of the death priest.

Death is indifferent to whether one suffers or how one dies...

Actually, it's quite pure.

Unfortunately, death itself is a terrifying thing.

This time, we won't offer too many sacrifices...

Sacrificing 10 billion should be enough, right? Lu Cang was starting to worry that if he had to sacrifice less for advancement in the future, he might suffer a backlash instead.

Probably not.

After the sacrifice, the first thing you feel is an explosive spiritual response.

The promotion to Death Priest definitely brings the greatest spiritual enhancement.

Perhaps it's because I've sacrificed enough.

"Has mastered the Death Priest class skill: Soul Slayer (Exclusive) - Greatly enhances the effectiveness of all attacks targeting souls."

"Mastered the Death Priest class skill: Soul Shock (Exclusive) - Any type of attack will be accompanied by soul damage with different effects."

That does align with my experience at Level 2.

During my experience as a level 2 Death Priest, I did indeed focus on killing souls most of the time, given that I had that talent.

In addition, there is a special ability called Death Perception.

"Death perception" can more easily detect the presence of a corpse and determine whether it is truly dead or not, how long it has been dead, and the approximate cause of death...

Furthermore, sacrifices no longer necessarily require only souls and corpses; they can also be replaced by other things related to death that are of some value.

For example, one can sacrifice magical items imbued with a strong aura of death, or even sacrifice some of one's own organs or abilities.

However, this comes at a high cost.

For a level 3 Death Priest, the most cost-effective option in most cases is still souls and corpses.

After all, it was obtained by killing other people, so there's no need to harm one's own interests.

This skill was meaningless to Lu Cang; Death Perception was more useful, but it was still better than nothing.

"Talent Acquired: Death Manipulation (Transcendent) >> God-Level - Necromancer's Rebirth"

call--

Indeed, talent is still the most important factor in leveling up.

"The life forms you hunt will transform into special undead species that are more powerful than they were in life, and there is a chance that they will evolve, making you their master." After obtaining this ability, Lu Cang felt that he had simultaneously mastered a small underworld.

The underworld was completely empty.

Lu Cang himself cannot enter; this is a world that only the dead can enter.

This should be the world where I store the undead.

However, I don't have any undead right now.

Is it like the Shadow Legion that I upgraded all by myself?
I didn't see any restrictions on the conversion, which means you can convert anyone you kill, right?

As expected, any ability related to death inevitably involves the element of the undead.

Lu Cang pondered this in his heart.

Looking up, I saw that pollution was pouring down on me like a waterfall. Compared to the few tadpoles that Yuna had when she changed jobs, this was like a waterfall.

The light of Kumiloni enveloped this place.

This place has been completely protected.

Lu Cang raised his hand and unleashed several light-based spells with purification effects.

But it passed directly through the pollution.

Nothing hit.

It seems I can only see it, but not erase it...

That's true. If it can be cleared by ordinary magic, even if it can't be seen under normal circumstances, covering the area around the job changer with firepower will always clear away the pollution.

Just because you are now more spiritually advanced and can see things doesn't mean that just because you can see them, you can use magic to attack them.

After completing the job change.

Kumiloni remained in place for another ten minutes before the last bit of contamination was exhausted.

Kumironi turned to look at Lu Cang.

Lu Cang smiled warmly: "Thank you so much, Sister Kumironi. Without you, I might not have been able to change jobs."

Although he was a little tired, Kumiloni felt it was all worth it to receive such gratitude.

"Hmm, I suppose so."

"Little Lu Cang, your growth rate has truly exceeded our expectations."

Lu Cang is now at level 3 in all four professions.

At least in Ruilen, I've never heard of anyone doing this; majoring in two professions at the same time is basically the bare minimum for part-time work.

No one can upgrade all four professions simultaneously.

"how do you feel?"

"It feels great."

At this point, the spiritual elevation can no longer be described as simply seeing clearly; one feels as if one can see through all things, and everything is crystal clear and bright.

Kumironi looked into Lu Cang's eyes and seemed to see a vibrant spirit within them.

Even in his spiritual realm, one could vaguely sense that Lu Cang possessed a faint, almost imperceptible divine quality.

This feeling was fleeting, like an illusion.

Lu Cang also felt the enhancement brought by spirituality, and his current feeling was more than before.

It should be called a premonition.

"I think I've mastered some new skills."

Lu Cang thought about it and realized that if he were to use this talent in the future, it would definitely be impossible to hide it...

But if you never use it, what's the difference between that and not mastering it at all?

Lu Cang released about a thousand black ants.

With a casual tap, lightning swept across the land.

The black ants were instantly electrocuted, and almost at the same time they died, new black-green bodies emerged from their corpses!
"Dead Soul - Black Ant (Tier 2)"

"Dead Soul - Black Ant General (Tier 3)"

Lu Cang casually launched an ice spike.

when!
The ice spike struck the black ant's pincers in front of its mouth, and the dying black ant actually managed to withstand its own ice spike.

Good strength.

Lu Cang scanned these departed spirits with his senses. These spirits were all considered dead and could be taken into his own small underworld.

Moreover, these black ants were either surrounded by black flames, or their bodies were enveloped in condensed cold mist, or their bodies were shimmering with faint lightning...

Each one is indeed a special species.

"Lu Cang, what is this?"

"Hmm...it seems that because there were enough sacrificed souls, I gained a pretty good mastery ability."

Hehe... Actually, I made it up myself.

If mastery granted such powerful abilities, that would be wonderful.

However, sacrificing so many souls is unprecedented, and perhaps sacrificing so many souls can indeed bring such a powerful reward.

This might be what others are thinking.

"Are you controlling all these undead?"

"Hmm... they should be completely obedient to my commands, and I can directly control them."

"However, transformation also requires their soul."

Lu Cang did not receive any souls from these black ants; they were transformations of souls.

Kumiloni covered her mouth.

Iz, however, rested her chin on her hand, looking deep in thought.

It's quite an idea to separate the relationship between life and death in this way, allowing the dead to be reborn.

Now, to advance from 6 to 7, one must have mastered both the positive and negative fundamental magic.

Apart from the light and dark elements, all other elements have been integrated.

However, there is still a long way to go before a unified theory of the laws of magic is established. The rules of life and death, the rules of space, the rules of time, the rules of reincarnation, the rules of fate... It is a long and arduous task to unify all of these into a completely unified magic.

However, he could occasionally derive surprising inspiration from this apprentice.

It's truly amazing.

Seeing this scene, Izzy felt that she had gained a lot of insights into life, death, and the soul, and perhaps her magical theories about life and death could be further developed.

"That's an amazing ability..."

"It's alright, but there are some troublesome limitations."

Um... the restriction is that you have to kill it yourself, that's all.

Kumironi: "That's true. Powerful abilities often have corresponding limitations, but it's still pretty good."

Lu Cang said, "Let's go inside and take a look at the restrictions."

I feel that egg must have been a powerful life form.

If I can kill it, I should be able to turn it into my own undead spirit.

I just don't know if the undead is the egg or something that hatched from it after it's killed.

……

The three of them arrived in front of the barrier.

It was a bare stone wall with nothing particularly special about it.

The Church of Death really likes to disguise its entrances and exits as stone walls.
