Mythical Scroll Artist: Starting with the God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming

Chapter 230 The Underworld Domain Goes Berserk
Anyway, let's get past the first level first.

Riding on the laurel branch, they sped along, encountering numerous monsters that tried to stop them.

The closer you get to the central tower, the stronger the monsters become.

But even so, they are no match for the God of Wealth of their birth year.

To put it simply, the monsters' health in the first layer hasn't reached the limit of lightning magic's damage.

It wasn't until he encountered several bizarre monsters that Wu Xian finally took it seriously.

A lightning strike landed, but the several vengeful spirits and demons in front of him were not killed.

You should know that thunder magic is effective against evil and strange creatures.

Then, the black tiger under the God of Wealth roared, and its deterrent effect was less than satisfactory.

"Something's wrong, something's wrong."

The overall attributes of these demons in front of us are clearly higher than those of the monsters on the other level.

During the fierce battle, upon closer observation, one could vaguely sense the aura of the Underworld and Peach Blossom Mountain.

What do you mean?
The integration of the Underworld and Peach Blossom Mountain has also enhanced other undead and spirit-related areas within the Hero Tower.
Of course, it's strong, but it's just a matter of adding a few more lightning spells.

Several lightning spells were unleashed in succession, blasting the evil spirits into dust.

"The progress points provided are also significantly higher than those of other monsters."

Before I knew it, the progress of the first floor walkthrough had become: First Floor (545/1000)

Out of curiosity, I continued to explore this undead-themed area. I could clearly sense that the laws and fluctuations in this area were not very stable, as if they were being gradually optimized and enhanced by the [Hero Tower].

This further confirms Wu Xian's guess.

After slaying several more evil monsters, Wu Xian was taken aback by the Hero Tower panel in front of him.

【Wu Xian】

Alliance Rank: Gold

Club Affiliation: Underworld Club (Silver Rank)
Hero Points: 186591
Hero Tower Levels: 1

Current progress: Level 1 (579/1000)

"How did it suddenly jump to over 180,000?"

Previously, I had nearly 130,000 Hero Points, but in the blink of an eye, it has increased to more than 180,000.

According to Jiang Chenglei, a senior figure in the alliance, each time the Domain Scroll is upgraded, the scroll provider will receive a reward of Hero Points.

Therefore, it can be seen that the [Underworld + Peach Mountain] is still in the process of upgrading the Hero Tower.

He immediately took out the [Underworld] domain scroll and carefully experienced it.

"As expected of a domain data big model, it's awesome!"

The framework of the laws of heaven and earth within the domain scroll is being perfected, enriched, and optimized at an astonishing speed.

Even the connection with [Taozhi Mountain] is constantly being deepened and optimized.

"Was the scroll painting in other fields also this powerful at the beginning?"

Wu Xian had a vague premonition that the [Underworld + Peach Blossom Mountain] duo had already gone on a killing spree in the Hero Tower.

……

Tianfeng Province, Spirit Master Alliance.

At the very center of the vast palace complex stands a magnificent and gleaming black tower.

That is where the main body of the Hero Tower's [Dungeon] is located.

Inside the tower, Jiang Chenglei and other alliance leaders were gathered together, along with several high-ranking members of the association, including Vice President Huang.

Before them stood a beam of dark blue light that stretched straight to the top of the tower.

The pillar of light was surrounded by light structures resembling bookshelves, spiraling upwards. Each compartment contained a scroll of the domain, and there were tens of thousands of such compartments that they could see at the moment.

As the beam of light rotates, the grid cells of the domain scroll interact with each other, constantly changing and adjusting their positions.

It's like a constantly changing cylindrical Rubik's Cube. Yesterday, after incorporating the two domain scrolls, [Underworld + Peach Blossom Mountain], into the Hero Tower framework, the bigwigs from the alliances and associations present didn't leave. Their bladders were about to burst, and they couldn't bear to go to the toilet.

"You...you skipped a grade again?" Jiang Chenglei's voice trembled.

The bigwigs around them unconsciously swallowed hard, their eyes filled with utter shock.

“Before, it jumped directly from the first floor to the tenth floor, and this time it jumped to the sixteenth floor in one go,” the provincial alliance chairman exclaimed. “And judging from the current momentum of the Hero Tower’s full-speed calculation, it is far from reaching its limit.”

"Not only that," Vice President Huang solemnly reminded, "have you all noticed that while the [Underworld] is advancing rapidly, some of the scrolls related to the necromancy realm also seem to be improving?"

"Hiss~ It really is."

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that many of the scrolls depicting the realm of the undead had unknowingly been arranged into a spiraling, ascending structure.

"Good heavens, just how high is the level and quality of Master Wu's domain scroll?"

Jiang Chenglei and his group were so shocked they were numb.

Although they knew that the Underworld and Peach Blossom Mountain were definitely not simple, they did not expect it to be such an outrageous trend.

It's important to understand that once a normal domain scroll is incorporated into the Hero Tower, it requires a certain amount of time for computation and optimization, progressing layer by layer.

But the Underworld and Peach Blossom Mountain were different; they jumped from the first floor to the tenth floor in less than a day.

It just jumped from the tenth floor to the sixteenth floor, and it shows no sign of stopping.

“It’s probably not just about status and class,” Vice President Huang and several other scroll painters analyzed. “Perhaps in terms of background and completeness of concept, it far surpasses all other scroll paintings in the field today.”

Two days ago, after obtaining the "Underworld" item, several association leaders, at the strong recommendation of Vice President Huang, personally went to experience the "Underworld".

Like previous participants, they emerged in a daze, deeply moved and amazed by the extraordinary experience.

How do you say that?

If you don't learn to paint scrolls, you'll see me like a frog in a well looking at the moon in the sky.

Once you understand and learn about the scroll painting, you will see me as a mayfly seeing the blue sky.

Jiang Chenglei and others who did not understand the Dao of the Scroll Painting were the former; they only knew that this domain scroll painting was very powerful and excellent.

Only Vice President Huang and others who understand the Way of the Scroll can truly appreciate the unattainable grandeur of the Underworld and Peach Blossom Mountain.

It's unimaginable that such a magnificent scroll was created by an eighteen-year-old.

Even more outrageous is that the current "Underworld" is only the tip of the iceberg, and is still in a state of being to be continued.

"No, no, the Hero Tower itself seems to be transforming and improving without us even realizing it!"

Soon, the bigwigs present discovered another unbelievable situation.

The Tower of Heroes, which has remained unchanged for nearly two hundred years and is generally recognized as having reached its limit, is now experiencing a resurgence and reaching new heights under the impetus of the advancement in the Underworld.

"This, this, this..."

The bigwigs present trembled, exchanged surprised and doubtful glances, and completely lost their composure.

……

Meanwhile, the trainees who were fighting in the Hero Tower challenge gradually noticed the abnormality of the Hero Tower.

In particular, the combat power of undead and ghost-type dungeon monsters has inexplicably increased, far exceeding that of other types of monsters in the same level.

In an instant, countless Hero Tower Trial participants were filled with lamentations, severely affected by this change.

Those who were normally challenging themselves within their comfort zone were fine, but they were a bit confused by the undead monsters' inexplicable increase in strength, and wondered if they had neglected their training recently.

Those who are trying to reach the limit level are in a much worse situation.

It was already very difficult at the highest levels, and the undead monsters were like they were on steroids, with their attributes and combat power increasing dramatically.

That completely baffled them.

Soon, many challengers who were trying to reach the limit level were teleported out of the game one after another, each one more bewildered and confused than the last.

"What the heck was that undead monster? How could it do so much damage?"

"Could it be that I've neglected to improve my undead countermeasures lately? That shouldn't be the case!"
