I am the final demon god

In the cave filled with a light black mist, a slight tremor caused the dozen or so spider-like monsters that were entrenched there to turn their heads and look towards the entrance.

These monsters are entirely black, with long, sharp legs covered in hard, steel-like bristles.

"Holy crap, I just stepped on it and it pulled a monster, and it's even chain aggro!"

Swoosh! More than ten demonic spiders rose up, their eight legs slithering, and quickly surged towards the black-armored earth dragon that had entered the cave.

In the barren depths of the underground abyss, every single piece of food is incredibly precious.

Bang!

Rocks shattered, and the black-armored earth dragon's figure instantly transformed into a black shadow and shot out, its speed so great that the air itself roared as it collided with the rock.

Bang! Bang! The two demonic spiders were sent flying by the black-armored earth dragon. The powerful impact shattered the legs of the two demons, splattering blood and flesh everywhere.

"First blood, double kill..."

Crackling sounds filled the air as sharp, spear-like spider legs struck the black-armored earth dragon, but they couldn't budge its scales an inch.

*Thud!* The tail spike swept across, piercing the head of the demonic spider that pounced from behind.

At the same time, the Black Armored Earth Dragon swung its right claw, tearing apart the head of the monster that pounced in front of it. Instantly, dark red blood sprayed out, staining half of its body red, making it look ferocious and evil.

Whoosh! Just as the black-armored earth dragon was wreaking havoc, dozens of demonic spiders surged out from several cave entrances shrouded in black mist in the distance, creating an astonishing spectacle.

Wow! So much experience!

The black-armored earth dragon roared excitedly, swung its claws to send two demonic spiders flying, and instead of retreating, it charged forward towards the swarming spiders.

These monsters are as strong as the original monsters that have been devoured twice. After being corrupted, they lost the ability to spit silk, but gained super-fast attack speed.

The four spider legs at the front are long and sharp, capable of unleashing more than a dozen stabbing attacks per second, powerful enough to pierce through ordinary iron plates, and also contain potent poison.

Ordinary monsters, once surrounded and their defenses breached, will fall to the ground and die within moments.

However, when faced with the Black Armored Earth Dragon, which is larger, stronger, and has an almost impenetrable defense, these Demon Spiders are practically just a bunch of wild monsters that give away experience points.

In the frenzied slaughter, all the demonic spiders quickly turned into corpses, while the hideous black-armored earth dragon stood in the middle, its dark red blood mixed with some flesh scraps slowly flowing from its body.

"Awesome!" the black-armored earth dragon roared with delight.

"good."

Chen Zheng was very satisfied with the power, speed, and explosiveness displayed by the evolved Black Armored Earth Dragon, which almost crushed other monsters of the same level.

"Let's start collecting equipment."

Chen Zheng, in his chuunibyou phase, cheered and controlled the Black Armored Earth Dragon to approach the corpse of a demonic spider. With a flick of its tail, the stinger pierced the spider's mangled body.

Gulp! In just one minute, the spider corpse, which was only a little over half a meter in size except for its legs, quickly shriveled up.

One, two... As the black-armored earth dragon absorbed the essence of blood and flesh, its body grew at a visible speed, three meters three inches, three meters five inches...

After removing some overly mangled corpses, the forty-odd mutated spiders caused the Black Armored Earth Dragon to grow to four meters in size.

"Such an exaggerated growth rate!" Chen Zheng was a little surprised.

Chen Zheng, in his chuunibyou-ish tone, excitedly said, "My 'account' has the growth setting to evolve into the Abyss Overlord, so it's normal for it to be abnormal."

"It's a bit of a shame that these monsters don't have the ability to refresh talent skills."

"It's not that it didn't refresh; it's that the Plunder talent requires devouring more than a third of the target's flesh and blood. Although the tail sting can devour faster, it cannot trigger the Plunder talent."

"Uh... I almost forgot something, but it doesn't matter, these little monsters don't have any talents to plunder."

"I'm leaving this to you. Be careful."

"No problem, I'm going to keep grinding monsters and try to advance my rank as soon as possible." With that, the Black Armored Earth Dragon let out an excited roar and transformed into a black shadow as it rushed into the nearest cave entrance.

As it grows in size, the Black Armored Earth Dragon's strength and speed also increase in all aspects, revealing terrifying potential.

…………

As evening fell, the setting sun aligned perfectly with the black crack in the sky.

From afar, the sun appeared to be swallowed up bit by bit by a crack in the abyss, leaving only the dark red glow that painted the sky, exuding an ominous aura.

Sitting in his chair, Chen Zheng looked out the window with a slight frown: "It's already past six o'clock."

When the Abyss clone evolved, his consciousness also fell into a deep sleep, not a coma, but a more thorough one, with weak external perception.

Therefore, the human body also falls into a state of "sleep" because its consciousness is "absent," and it will not react at all if someone enters at this time.

The same applies to the Abyss Body; it was completely undefended during the several hours of evolution.

Therefore, the next evolution must find a safe location; the two minds cannot coexist in one body, otherwise they will both fall into a deep sleep.

At this moment, Chen Zheng felt a strong hunger pang in his stomach.

He hasn't eaten since he left home this morning.

I'm so hungry.

The Rune Academy's dining hall is a large, three-story independent building. When Chen Zheng walked in, the dinner rush had already passed, and there were only a dozen or so people scattered around the hall.

As a martial arts university, the Rune Department is classified as a "liberal arts" department, but the food standards are still very high.

The 20 yuan set meal includes braised exotic meat, two kinds of seasonal vegetables, a bowl of bone broth, and unlimited rice.

Among them, the exotic beast meat comes from domesticated first-tier exotic beasts. The meat is firmer than ordinary pork and beef, and is rich in energy, which can replenish the daily consumption of cultivators.

"Chen Zheng, over here."

Chen Zheng had just finished getting his food and hadn't decided where to sit when Jiang Mo waved to him from a distance, with class monitor Li Tang sitting next to him.

"You guys are eating so late today too?" Chen Zheng asked with a smile as he sat down.

Jiang Mo, sitting opposite him, gave him the middle finger, clearly already knowing that Chen Zheng had betrayed him that morning. Chen Zheng pretended not to see it.

He didn't want to get involved in their affairs, so he changed the subject, saying, "Speaking of which, Lao Jiang, do you know any quick ways to earn points?"

Chen Zheng was somewhat stimulated by the growth rate of the Abyss Body and also wanted to improve his strength as soon as possible.

Before his awakening, Chen Zheng, who had only average talent, had already given up hope for martial arts.

The first realm of martial arts is divided into ten levels. It would take him a year to go from level four to level five. At this rate, he wouldn't be able to break through to the first realm even after graduation.

Not to mention the later stages of Bone Refining, Visceral Refining, Marrow Refining, the Third Stage of Qi Refining, and the Fourth Stage...

The path of martial arts is a long and arduous one that can lead to despair, but with the awakening of the talent of plundering all spirits, everything becomes possible.

The only downside is that it costs money.

Jiang Mo casually replied, "Yes, you just need to get first place on the grade's combat power ranking. The reward for first place on our freshman combat power ranking is 10,000 points."

"And as long as we can maintain our first place ranking, we will receive another thousand points every month."

As soon as Jiang Mo finished speaking, Li Tang shook her head speechlessly: "Jiang Mo, don't talk nonsense. The combat power ranking is a list used by the school to encourage martial arts students."

"Don't even mention that our rune students are not as good as those martial arts students. Even if we were at the same level, we would still be no match for them, let alone the top student in the grade."

Li Tang then asked, "Chen Zheng, if you're really short of money, we can lend you some."

"No, no need," Chen Zheng shook his head and refused.

"I mainly feel that academic points are earned too slowly. Completing a set of basic rune replicas only gives 2 points, which is not even enough to exchange for the dregs of a Qi and Blood Pill."

"Compared to us, I heard that the martial arts department gets a lot of points for just a slight increase in strength."

Jiang Mo was also somewhat envious: "There's nothing we can do. We're liberal arts students, unlike the martial arts department which focuses on combat. The resources the school allocates to them are almost ten times that of us."

"Of course, you can be a monster like Bai Susu. I heard she earned over 3,000 points just from studying last semester."

"Uh...it can't compare to that."

The Bai Susu mentioned by the three is also a student in Class 9, but unlike Chen Zheng and the others, she is a super genius with a terrifying talent for comprehending runes.

It took Jiang Mo and his team a week to replicate the same triangular rune circuit, verifying the energy flow of the inscription multiple times.

But the other party only glanced at it and directly replicated it one-to-one on the material board; the difference was too great.

At this moment, Jiang Mo pushed the soup bowl in front of Li Tang away to prevent her from knocking it over with her elbow. The movement was natural, as if he had repeated it many times before.

Seeing this, Chen Zheng's lips twitched, feeling as if he had been force-fed a handful of dog food.

Boom! Suddenly, a terrifying tremor came from afar, and the whole earth shook slightly, interrupting the three people's conversation.
