I told you to change your skills, and you changed them into a nuclear explosion immortal?

"Waaaaah... My sister is bullying the fish... Waaaaah..."

On the starlight dragon head, the salted fish nestled in Xu Qingmeng's arms, acting coquettishly.

Xu Qingmeng was initially resistant, but seeing her bruised and swollen face, and the fish that had grown twice its original size, she gave in.

Mu Qingcheng and Mu Caiwei, with stiff expressions, looked away and then turned to Lu Yundao.

"We've accepted the mission. Although there's no level distinction, the rewards are very generous. I think it's at least an epic-level mission."

"No, it's the Golden Mythical level."

Lu Yun remained calm and gave a very certain answer, after all, he had experience with this kind of thing.

But these words shocked the two of them.

Mu Qingcheng was silent for a moment, then couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Sure enough, some are dying of drought, while others are drowning in floods."

Mu Caiwei glanced at her.

"I made the right choice. Only by following him can I have a future."

Lu Yun ignored him; all he wanted to do was get his promotion certificate as soon as possible so he could get the gold-tier equipment and skills.

"Why didn't you just go straight for the mermaid king? That's not like you."

Although Mu Qingcheng's expression remained calm, she was still somewhat puzzled.

Because directly using the strategy is obviously faster and easier than doing tasks now, and she can tell that Lu Yun is a person who hates trouble, even though she prefers doing tasks.

Lu Yun shook his head, offering no further explanation.

"This way is more cost-effective; you'll see later."

Mu Qingcheng and the other woman exchanged a glance and fell even more silent.

At that moment, the Starlight Dragon flew out of the sea.

The demons were indeed still being dropped into the crack, but this time, instead of heading into the deep sea, they immediately spread their wings and rushed into the crack after falling to the surface.

"Are they... afraid?"

Mu Qingcheng rarely showed a strange look in her eyes.

However, Lu Yun didn't care. In his eyes, these were just a bunch of experience points and quest items.

"Who cares, let's just do it."

Seeing that he was about to make a move, Mu Qingcheng frowned slightly and said softly.

"What are you going to do? They're all in the sky, our skills can't hit them at all. Are you planning to let the Starlight Dragon carry us up there to our deaths?"

"Can't hit it? Watch me roll some balls and finish it off."

As he spoke, he raised his staff and slowly curled the corners of his mouth.

"You didn't come for nothing, you all really got a great deal today."

Mu Qingcheng and the others were stunned for a moment, but the next second they understood what Lu Yun meant.

As Lu Yun's skill was activated.

A massive fireball, large enough to eclipse the sun in the sky, instantly appeared above Lu Yun's head.

Looking at the enormous fireball and feeling the intense heat emanating from it, not only Mu Qingcheng and her companion, but even Xu Qingmeng and Li Zian, who had seen the fireball before, couldn't help but widen their eyes and their jaws almost dropped to the ground.

"His skills have gotten even stronger..."

"Get out of here!"

Lu Yun flicked his staff, and the enormous fireball, carrying the intense heat of distorted space, hurtled straight toward the demon running at the very back.

The demons, who were already on the run, heard the Great Mother's call from below. They instinctively looked down and were instantly terrified.

The demon, especially, who was running at the very back, shouted with eyes wide with rage.

"A demon!!! The demon has come!!!"

"Run! Run!!! That devil dropped another nuclear bomb!!! Ah!!! Run!!!"

The demon army went berserk instantly, wishing they had eight legs, frantically trying to fly upwards in mid-air using both hands and feet.

But the fireball was too fast. In the blink of an eye, it arrived behind the last demon and exploded with a bang, much to the astonishment of Xu Qingmeng and the other three.

"Rumble..."

"Boom!!!"

"Bang!!!!"

A familiar, enormous mushroom cloud rose silently into the air, as if it were in an empty field, instantly vaporizing all the demons in its path and heading straight for the rift.

That is the clamor of the world.

That was the sigh of the end times.

It is a distortion and intensity that space cannot withstand.

All things returned to silence in those brief five seconds.

All that remained was the ever-repeating voice of the world's will and the golden light that continuously shone from Xu Qingmeng and the other three.

[You have killed the Demon Lizard, gaining 6723892 experience points.]

[You have killed the demonic minotaur, gaining 7837823 experience points.]

[You have killed the Demon Bat Captain, experience points +18283743]

Congratulations! You've leveled up!

Congratulations! You've leveled up!

Congratulations! You've leveled up!

There were originally millions of demons in mid-air, but now, only a faint smell of burning and distorted air remain.

The demon army has been annihilated!

Xu Qingmeng and the other three stared blankly at the rain of gold coins falling from the sky and the surging tsunami below them, their heads buzzing.

Salty Fish stood frozen in Xu Qingmeng's arms, watching helplessly as these demons, who had nearly wiped out the merfolk, were vaporized in the flames.

"No, it's all gone... all gone..."

"The demon army... is completely, completely dead..."

The four people and the fish were dumbfounded, but that wasn't the end of it.

Lu Yun looked at the demon who had fled back to the rift and was now clinging to the edge of the rift, staring at him with a look of terror on his face, and slowly curled the corners of his mouth into a light smile.

"Still watching? I'm taking you in!"

"Fireball!"

Lu Yun waved his staff again, and this time, the sun was clearly twice as big as before.

The sheer size and heat of the water caused the seawater to hiss, and the sea surface instantly evaporated by 10 centimeters. The rising steam and the distorted space left Xu Qingmeng, the three people, and the fish speechless.

You must know, this is seawater, the vast ocean, endless and boundless!

But what's even more terrifying is that after Lu Yun flung the sun into the crack, the demons behind it were once again terrified.

"Holy crap!!! That demon's making pills again!!! Quick! Close the rift!!!"

"Ah!!! This demon is terrifying!!! Close the rift! I want to go home! I want to find my mom!!! Ah!!!"

The demons frantically tried to close the rift, but how could such a wide rift be closed in an instant?

The demons who had survived the ordeal and escaped back saw this and ran deeper into the rift with horrified expressions, while the demons guarding the rift could only close it quickly with eyes wide with rage.

However, the sun was moving too fast. Even though the guarding demons were swinging their arms until they were smoking, and the crack was closing at an extremely terrifying speed, they still couldn't stop the sun from descending.

At the very last moment before it closed, the sun suddenly burst through.

"Rumble..."

"Rumble..."

There was no massive explosion as expected, nor a mushroom cloud; the rift has closed.

But the silence lasted only a second.

The tremors from the void still brought a series of booming sounds, causing a large patch of dark clouds to suddenly gather in the cloudless sky, and a torrential downpour began.

【congratulations!】

[You have completed the temporary quest! Please return to the Mermaid Palace to turn it in as soon as possible!]

Sure enough!

A glint of light flashed in Lu Yun's eyes as he turned to look at the four people and the fish.

This time, the four humans and one fish had lost their ability to think.

Especially Mu Qingcheng and Mu Caiwei, they had already elevated Lu Yun's strength to a level that they could only look up to. But now, they realized that their own vision was too small, too limited.

Such a powerful person cannot be described as merely powerful; he is a monster, an absolute monster!

They can see the outcome of going against such people at a glance.

"Too, too powerful... This is too outrageous..."

"No wonder I could never predict his future... Such power has already surpassed the scope of a diviner's calculations..."

Seeing the two muttering to themselves, Lu Yun glanced at the four people and one fish who were dumbfounded and said.

"What are you muttering about?"

Li Zian shuddered, then grabbed Lu Yun's arm excitedly with a face full of joy.

"Brother Yun! Godfather! My invincible godfather!!!"

"You are God! Eternal God!!!"

Lu Yun chuckled, and before the four could react, he kicked the salted fish in the butt, sending her sprawling off the dragon.

"What a filial son! Riding it to pick up things! It's all money!"

"Alright! Please go ahead! I promise you won't miss a single word!!!"

Li Zian laughed heartily and quickly jumped off the dragon, stepping on the salted fish to retrieve his belongings.

Xu Qingmeng and the other two were still unable to come to their senses.
