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

Chapter 198 God Killer

Geniuses are annoying.

Ertimi herself was a genius, so she understood this principle.

An extremely strong premonition arose in my heart.

It seems this attack will put him in a very serious crisis.

Perhaps, I will die?
Why?
Although I don't know what this child in front of me will use to kill me.

But Ertimi chose to trust her intuition.

Intuition often provides a better sense of unease than logic, because logic can only infer what is known, while intuition can predict what is unknown.

She was much faster than Lu Cang, and she was confident that she could dodge Lu Cang's sudden attack.

Fighting him to the death... is pointless.

Even if Lu Cang dies, what will she gain?
Lu Cang's body can't be retrieved, and Kumironi can't be brought back?
Such a direct confrontation is truly a terrible strategy.

Almost instantly, Ertimi realized this and immediately stepped back, intending to dodge his attack.

Fourth-tier Root Magic?

I've seen an eighth-tier source magic, what do you want from a mere fourth-tier source magic!
Ertimi naturally didn't take this move seriously.

Swish!
Almost the instant Lu Cang's "core" was about to touch Ertimi, Ertimi disappeared from Lu Cang's sight.

Lu Cang's attack failed.

The core that was being pushed toward Ertimi was blasted out into the distance where there was nothing!

thump—

Almost simultaneously, the dagger pierced through Lu Cang's body from behind.

Dodging doesn't mean you just hide.

The battle-hardened Ertimi was well aware of a very simple combat principle: the best time to attack is while dodging attacks.

"A breakthrough in the heat of battle, truly a genius!"

Swah——

The dagger had already pierced Lu Cang's heart.

This time, it hit the mark squarely.

It wasn't just that Aertimi's skin and Lu Cang's clothes touched slightly.

Instead, he used that sharp dagger to pierce straight through his heart.

Ertimi licked her lips.

The dagger spun around once.

"It's just a pity that I, your older sister, have seen quite a few geniuses back in the day."

"In the end, those so-called geniuses all became mere shells for my sister's collection."

"You must be the most amazing genius your sister has ever seen."

"Don't worry~ You'll get the best treatment here with me."

Lu Cang's entire body was like countless silk threads.

It has been completely disintegrated.

Ertimi gazed at the dazzling core that flew into the distance.

This is this guy's fourth-tier root magic.

How many Root Mages have I seen in my entire life? The last Root Magic that posed a threat to me was an 8th-tier one.

That was two thousand years ago.

It was a period of time before he gave up becoming a level 9 skin snatcher and chose to ascend to godhood.

Unfortunately, I didn't manage to kill that level 8 mage back then, otherwise I would have gained another valuable physical body.

I wonder if that magician managed to level up to level 9 after escaping?
Ertimi twirled the skinning dagger in her hand and sheathed it behind her back.

At the same time, one hand is stretched forward.

Lu Cang's disintegrated body was repeatedly returned to Aierti's hands, just like slips of paper.

It's time to deal with the Kumiloni matter.

It took longer than expected.

If we drag this out until Izparut arrives, it might get a bit troublesome.

One day, I will also peel off that brat Izparut's skin... but not this time.

At least, it's not something this body can do right now.

The small continent of Ruilun is indeed full of hidden talents.

It seems like Ertimi has forgotten something.

But upon seeing the hide in his hand, he realized the man was already dead...

Even after he became a god, that nameless moon still had some influence on him.

"Never mind, as long as I get Kumironi, I'll have a chance to compete for the Moon's position."

"It just so happens that I have a free month in May."

Aertimi cupped her face in her hands, a fascinated smile playing at the corners of her eyes: "The months of molting and transformation, that sounds really nice."

click -

suddenly!

A chill suddenly ran through me!

In an instant, everything froze! Even Ertimi's body was frozen in place!

A physical body appeared above Ertimi's head amidst the extreme cold!
"Azure Flow - Sixth Form: Ultimate Empty Hands"

"Root Magic: The Core of Everything"

Lu Cang held three brightly colored nuclei spinning rapidly in one hand!
Press down on Ertimi's head!

boom!
The ice shattered!

Ertimi's entire body was instantly shattered into countless tiny ice fragments, as if it had been frozen into an ice sculpture!

"Death date: 10 years, 1 month, 1 day >> 0"

boom!
Almost instantly after being shattered, Ertimi instantly reformed in the extreme cold! When she reformed, the freezing cold could no longer harm her in the slightest.

Seeing Lu Cang reappear, Aierti's heart was in turmoil.

why?
I should kill him!

Is it possible that a god cannot determine whether a person is dead or not?
Forget it.

You can live as many times as you want, and I'll kill you that many times!

Just as Ertimi was about to raise her hand again to kill Lu Cang...

Swish!
But then he saw that his right hand had just been raised.

The skin peels off like a ribbon.

?

Lu Cang, however, stood at a distance.

His eyes were dark and deep, staring at himself as if he were looking into an abyss of death.

Aertimi could see it clearly.

That's the look you give a dead person.

What kind of look is that? How dare you, a mere mortal, gaze upon me like that!
Ertimi raises her left hand again!

puff!
But the left hand also shattered the moment it was raised, the skin fluttering backward like a ribbon.

Do not……

Is divine authority inaccessible?

Is the skin separating from the body?
No, it's Ties! Ties is dead?
how come?
As long as the skin remains, Tiss will not die, and as long as Tiss does not die, the skin will not leave her.

This is the perfect vessel for my birth!
"You deserve to die."

Lu Cang held the Void Spirit Ring Star Spear, his skin still peeling away.

It looks like a monster.

However, Lu Cang remained steadfast, his gaze fixed on Ertimi.

"No!"

“Kumironi…”

"I haven't gotten it yet."

Ertimi gritted her teeth, trying to retract the flying catkins' skin back into her body, but in reality, the outer skin was constantly peeling off.

After the outer skin is shed.

Gradually, another body hidden beneath the skin is revealed.

A girl with black hair and her eyes closed.

She did not shed her skin like other skin snatchers; instead, Altimi's skin covered her body.

Lu Cang raised his hand.

A soul drifted out and flew towards him.

Lu Cang took away Tiss's soul.

Regardless of whether she was an innocent victim or not, Lu Cang could not allow her to have any chance of survival.

As the husk continued to drift, Ertimi's emotions calmed down completely, her eyes becoming serious and cold.

"Can you tell me, sister, what exactly is your Root Magic?"

Lu Cang's expression was cold, and he did not respond.

Aertimi's tone was slightly mournful: "Well, it seems even this much charm doesn't appeal to me, sister~"

"Little one, I'll remember you."

"And actually, I know your name~"

"Lu Cang".

call--

The last bit of the outer skin dripped away.

There was no trace of Ertimi's skin left on Tiss's body.

She lost all motivation.

It plunged into the bottomless abyss of the earth.

Lu Cang simply raised his hand!

Three "cores" coalesced in Lu Cang's hand.

"Root Magic: The Core of Everything"

"My whole self"

This nucleus is the embodiment of its own complete whole.

Human, skin, bones, brain, blood and energy, magic, combat skills...

Everything about itself is contained within a single core.

Even if you kill your physical body, as long as your core is not destroyed, your entire being remains intact.

And what is displayed inside and outside the core.

It is also adjusted by oneself, which can make the magical combat skills manifest on the outermost layer. The material that comes into contact with the outermost layer will trigger the surface properties of the core.

Once one layer is triggered, an even deeper layer follows.

Three "cores" surround Lu Cang's body.

These three cores are used for attack, while the remaining core is used for defense.

As long as one core remains intact.

Lu Cang can then use this as a whole to complete the regeneration.

Thinking about it this way, it's like a colorful golden elixir that grants immortality.

In terms of warfare...

Lu Cang casually raised his hand.

Whoosh!
Three nuclei pierced through Tiss's body!

boom!
The Soul Condensation True Essence, as if it had sacrificed billions of souls, exploded! Terrifying aftershocks reverberated throughout the heavens and earth once again!
Its entirety naturally includes "Source of All Laws" and "Source of Body as Law," and can naturally manifest "Reflection of the Past" on the surface.

Destroying the body and erasing all evidence was also a top priority.

Lu Cang didn't want her to have any chance of being resurrected.

After being bombed like that, not a single ash remained for Tissot.

Lu Cang felt his body; at this moment, his skin was still peeling away...

The other person's influence remained on him and did not disappear with his death.

Although it has a strong healing ability.

But this is just too painful.

Lu Cang took several more bottles of medicine, and his recovery speed increased significantly.

At the same time, the pain was also greatly suppressed.

This is all we can do for now...

As for the soul of Theis.

Lu Cang thought for a moment, and then a necromancer materialized beside him.

The ghost of Tiss appeared beside Lu Cang.

Level 6 Skin Stealer.

Actually, Lu Cang had been thinking about whether or not to touch Tiss's body.

However, Aertimi had brought too many shadows, and Lu Cang really didn't want to touch anything related to Aertimi.

Lu Cang touched the undead beside him.

A stream of information also flowed into Lu Cang's mind.

Tiss.

Moon Sea – Twilight Islands – People of the Mish Empire.

At the same time, the Mish Empire is also the headquarters of the Molting Rose.

"Moon Sea..."

"It's Moon Sea again."

It really is a sea area where extraordinary people emerge. Several of the powerful enemies and adversaries I've encountered are from the Moon Sea.

Looks like I'll have to avoid the Moon Sea from now on.

Unless he reaches a point where he can crush everything, Lu Cang still doesn't want to go to an area surrounded by enemies.

However, the Moon Sea is so far from the Secret Sea that even if I wanted to go, it would be difficult.

Lu Cang reached out and lifted out several storage bags, which flew back into his hands.

This is Tiss's personal storage bag.

To be precise, it was the "Wanpi Bag" made by Aiertimei.

The craftsmanship is extremely high.

It is sealed with many restrictions, even... restrictions with a level 8 decryption difficulty?

He truly is a god.

Lu Cang casually broke the restriction.

However, instead of erasing it, it was left with the permissions that I could use.

This level 8 restriction is quite useful. In addition to preventing detection and unauthorized removal, it also has a location tracking function.

In addition, the hide is tough enough, as it is made from the hide of an extremely powerful level 8 monster.

There's no fear of it being destroyed. After all, a spatial container isn't a defensive device; if it could be protected from destruction, it would have been used as a shield long ago.

But usually during battle.

The attacks wouldn't specifically target storage items, and Lu Cang's own storage items were all high-grade.

In addition, Lu Cang took great care to protect her, so she wasn't damaged.

Ertimi deliberately avoided damaging her storage ring.

She also wanted to collect her spoils.

Lu Cang peered into the "Ten Thousand Skin Bag," and found that the space inside was even larger than the spatial container of the Cold Church.

The aftershocks of the Soul Explosion gradually dissipated.

The sky has cleared up again, and although there is still a light mist, it is no longer as thick as before.

The influence of celestial phenomena has been restored.

It seems that Ertimi has really left.

Then look at the entire battlefield.

Sel City...

The city of Sel no longer exists.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that, centered on the city of Sel, the visible area stretching for tens of thousands of kilometers is a bottomless pit.

Lu Cang stood in the sky, as if standing in the center of nothingness.

"Oh, I found it."

A red stone appeared in Lu Cang's hand.

"The Key to the Inside"

Information about the key came to mind.

This is the key to unlocking the inner world.

Once the corresponding node in the inner world is found, it can be opened.

As for turning it off, it can be turned off at any time, no matter where you are.

When Lu Cang obtained the red stone, he had already seen the location of the node.

That was the passage that Kumironi and the others had used, but now everything has been blown to smithereens...

Lu Cang took the stone and went there.

Gently press the red stone into the empty space.

The door opened, and the passageway came into view.

After hesitating for a moment.

Lu Cang took a deep breath and walked inside.

And this step was taken.

What they saw was a huge rift valley.

Hmm... I guess you can't really call it a rift valley. If you look ahead, you can see the distant sea.

And looking behind you, you can also see the sea.

It seems that the entire continent has been severed.

However, they did not sense any other battles taking place.

Lu Cang looked around.

Suddenly, I felt a connection with my senses.

"Lu Cang!"

It was Luluwei's perception.

It seems she's still alive, which is good.

After all, the situation inside the inner world was unknown, and the fact that the other party was so confident and well-prepared made Lu Cang genuinely worried that Chi Cheng and the others wouldn't be able to handle it.

boom!
A trail flashed by at lightning speed!
It appeared before my eyes in an instant.

Immediately following, a flash of emerald light appeared to the side.

"Lu Cang?!"

Kumironi watched as Lu Cang's outer skin peeled away like flying catkins.

"What happened over there?"

While asking the question, Kumironi immediately placed his hand on Lu Cang.

A faint emerald light flowed.

Lu Cang's skin gradually stopped spreading and began to recover normally.

Kumironi frowned, his soft voice filled with deep worry: "Theocracy?"

Lu Cang: "Hmm... I encountered one who claimed to be an enemy of God, Ertimi."

"I almost lost to her."

"Sister Kumironi, let's go out first."

"This place might not be safe either."

Kumironi and Lu Cang exchanged a glance and nodded slightly.

The crowd gathered in a circle, filled with concern for Lu Cang's current state, while Lu Cang scanned the crowd.

It seems they are alright.

The group left the inner world...

The once continuous mountain ranges and hundreds of rivers are now just deep hollows.

See this scene.

“Lu Cang…”

Kumiloni's pupils contracted deeply.

It's hard to imagine what a brutal battle must have taken place here.

Lu Cang said, "The entire city of Sel has been occupied by the Skin Stealers."

"Not many innocent people were implicated."

Actually, there are still some.

A very small minority are still innocent.

At the start of the battle, the sinking-level monsters spared the lives of the innocent people.

But with the arrival of Ertimi, this was no longer a battlefield where ordinary people could survive.

It's already incredibly lucky that I won and survived.

Rather, luck played a large part.

Lu Cang handed the "Ten Thousand Skin Bag" to Kumironi.

Kumironi glanced at the bag and quickly realized just how terrifying the person Lu Cang was talking about was.

A storage bag made from the hide of an 8th-tier monster.

The contents inside were also quite extraordinary.

"Kumironi, did you encounter anything inside?"

Kumiloni shook his head.

"It's nothing."

"They set up a special blood array, but Chi Cheng and I broke it easily."

"The Lady Artemis they were talking about before we killed them must be the Artemis you mentioned."

"I guess their original plan was to trap us inside and then encircle us from both sides..."

"But I never expected that you would escape."

Lu Cang nodded slightly.

At this point, under Kumironi's treatment, his body had gradually recovered.

The pain of being skinned has disappeared.

Kumiloni: "Let's go back."

Kumironi: "There's nothing left here, and there's no way to start the investigation. Let's hear what Lu Cang has to say on the way back."

"and……"

"This time, I made the wrong decision, leaving Lu Cang to face a powerful enemy alone and put him in danger."

Akari: "What are you saying?"

"Didn't you protect Leng Qingying, Luluwei, and Qiumu?"

"At least, everyone came back safe and sound this time."

Luluwei and Leng Qingying both had their heads down.

This time, I was indeed the one being protected.

boom!
A deep, muffled sound ripped through the sky.

Obades appeared before everyone.

It looked at everyone, at all of this, and said in a slow, deliberate tone, "You're late."

"Feel sorry."

The group turned and left.

Before leaving, Kumiloni glanced once more at the bottomless, enormous void.

I vaguely remember that our purpose in coming here was to eradicate the Molting Rose, and incidentally... to save Ruijia from her predicament.

It now appears that water and fire are indeed gone.

However, it seems that Ruijia is already defunct in name only.

……

The atmosphere was oppressive throughout the journey, and Lu Cang recounted the whole story of what had happened.

However, he concealed to some extent his ability to foresee his own death.

But there were many dangers involved.

Everyone who heard this was terrified.

A being whose very birth alters the celestial phenomena, a deity who wields divine power.

Battles concerning divine authority are on a completely different level from those fought by mortals.

"If you hadn't finally comprehended the Root Magic."

Lu Cang nodded slightly: "Yeah, I guess it'll be gone."

Kumironi clenched her teeth slightly and said seriously, "Little Lu Cang, next time something like this happens, you should run away."

"When you encounter an enemy beyond your capabilities, protect yourself first."

"Is this your principle?"

Lu Cang: "Mm."

"But besides that, I also have a principle called humanity."

“Sister Kumironi, I have received so much help from you all this time. I can’t convince myself to run away at a time like this.”

"While I wouldn't dare say I can be as kind as Sister Kumiloni, I at least hope that my actions can be considered human."

One day later.

The group then returned to Knoloa.

With my senses open, I heard the whole city still talking about the blood mist, the day of skinning, and the blood-red sky.

It seems that Aertimi's influence extends beyond Ruijia.

Even Loren's people saw it.

Hearing these discussions further confirmed what Lu Cang had experienced.

Lu Cang resolved a crisis that came from a divine intervention.

"Feel sorry."

Swish!
Izparut appeared before everyone.

His expression was complicated: "I saw the light of enlightenment, but I didn't rush to it."

Lu Cang: "Iz."

With difficulty, Iz said, "I must keep an eye on Anzheng."

"This is his last period of life... There are some things that only I can do."

Lu Cang simply nodded slightly: "Mm."

The emotions are somewhat complex.

Lu Cang hoped that Izzy would help him.

At that time, they also placed their hopes on Izzy.

In the end, he did not come, and Lu Cang couldn't help but feel disappointed.

Even knowing that Izzy might be doing something really important, it's hard not to feel this way.

I want to say something, but I can't say it.

Iz said earnestly, "I'm sorry, I've been incompetent."

Izzy apologized again, and you could tell he was also conflicted.

Lu Cang calmed his emotions and looked up to ask, "May I find out what happened to An Zheng?"

Iz paused for a moment, then replied, "He will attempt to become a level 9 mage."

"To attempt an impact in an extremely unusual way."

"I rejected him."

"His theories are very extreme, and this is his last chance."

"As long as I'm here, I won't give him a chance to make a move."

"Therefore, I cannot leave."

Lu Cang: "This is his last chance. He'll eventually be pushed to his limit."

Iz stated quite frankly, "At that time, I was the one who killed him."

Iz, that's our fellow magician...

Lu Cang couldn't help but think of it.

If Izzy were to face this situation one day, would he give up his hope of reaching level 9?
Lu Cang thought for a moment and then shook his head.

A high-ranking mage should have a stronger and more steadfast desire to pursue the origin than anyone else.

There's no way we'll give up.

So the answer is actually quite clear.

"If that day comes, Knoloa will be in great danger."

Izzy: "So I had Obardes stay here with me too."

“If that day ever comes, I will deal with him, and Obades will ensure everyone’s safety.”

……

News of the destruction of the Royal City of Ruijia spread quickly throughout the entire Knoroa, Loren, and every village and town on the continent of Ruiren shortly after Lu Cang and his companions returned.

Lu Cang's great achievements were recorded in the Church of Life.

This deed was made public.

This event also marked the beginning of a new chapter in history.

January 16, 5026: Blood-red light descends from the sky; Lu Cang slays a god.

(End of this chapter)
