Five hundred years of stacked Q, this one Q, unique and unparalleled throughout eternity!

When the great divine power arrives, it will be able to deliver a soul-sucking blow and send Him away on the spot.

After letting his random thoughts wander, Luo Tian finally put them out of his mind.

If the unique path Ares described is indeed feasible, then this wild speculation might indeed be a possibility.

But Luo Tian himself is still wandering around the Star World. He can't just wait for the ancient gods' concept of death to come to him, can he?

"The right way is to honestly gain experience and level up. If I can reach level six, I can kill even a great god with one swipe. Why think so much now?"

Thinking about this, Luo Tian felt that Ares's so-called secrets were nothing special, so he picked up the Demon Sword again.

Upon seeing Luo Tian's actions, Ares panicked immediately.

"Don't you want to know how to transcend the concept of death and achieve uniqueness?"

"In no mood!"

Luo Tian shook his head casually, the blade of his sword already pointing at Ares's brow.

The crimson demonic sword exuded a savage aura, and Aatrox within it could still vividly recall the horrific scene of being shattered by Ares's punch.

His invincible ability to return from the brink of death, which he was so proud of and which he regarded as a power that transcended death, was so powerless in the face of Ares.

Especially after throwing the punch, Ares's nonchalant expression seemed to indicate that he didn't take Atreus and the Sword Demon in front of him seriously at all.

For Aatrox, that moment of humiliation was comparable to being designed and sealed into a weapon by the Twilight Protoss.

So now that he had the chance to kill Ares, how could Aatrox not be excited?

The murderous intent emanating from the demonic sword, along with Luo Tian's nonchalant demeanor, made Ares question his very existence.

He believed that his words had moved Luo Tian, ​​since Luo Tian, ​​walking the path of the uniqueness of death, could not possibly disregard that secret.

That's crucial to whether Luo Tian can successfully collect the concept of death and achieve uniqueness.

Forbidden secrets cannot leave any trace in the world. Even if Luo Tian has the means to search souls and trace memories, he simply cannot use forceful means to find that secret from him.

As long as he doesn't reveal it, he can save his life through a transaction.

"Is he trying to trick me?"

Such a thought flashed through Ares's damaged brain.

Afterwards, Ares's fear and unease dissipated completely. Looking at the falling blade of the demonic sword, a barely perceptible hint of disdain appeared in his eyes.

"A threat! He's definitely trying to threaten me with death!"

The sword fell, less than ten centimeters from Ares, but Ares's face remained calm and composed.

"Hmph! He thinks he can scare him like that?"

The sword's edge touched his brow, and Ares's shattered face adopted a dignified stance, one that showed no sign of yielding, even in the face of death.

"I am the God of War! I have touched the frontiers of death countless times in battle, how could I be intimidated by mere death?"

Luo Tian, ​​but it's just like...

The thoughts racing through his mind came to an abrupt halt, and the demonic sword, without the slightest pause, easily pierced through the shattered skull.

A golden soul rose from the shattered skull, still bearing the lingering look of astonishment.

Subsequently, Luo Tian's passive ability to devour souls was activated, and a huge golden scale rose up, with Ares' golden soul falling onto the scale.

Unlike other souls that were instantly devoured, after Ares' soul fell to one side of the scales, a pure white feather quietly fell to the other side, as if weighing Ares' soul.

The scales tipped toward Ares's soul, clearly indicating that his soul weighed far more than that pure white feather.

With his soul shattered, Ares was instantly devoured.

Experience +1557!

A massive amount of experience instantly flooded into Luo Tian's experience bar, which was already close to leveling up. The next moment, Luo Tian successfully leveled up to level 4!

Attribute enhancement, gain another skill point.

Soul Flame, Teleport, Ignite, Purify, Rebirth... a whole host of skills are marked with icons that can be activated.

But Luo Tian did not show any joy. Instead, he stretched out his right hand with a strange expression.

He opened his palm, and an invisible force of death gathered, revealing a seal carved with a majestic mountain in his hand.

Even though it's a carving that's been reduced countless times in size, the majestic mountains on the seal still evoke an indescribable sense of awe and weight.

That mountain range seemed to suppress a vast and boundless world.

Below the seal, two huge characters were clearly engraved.

Dongyue!

There are many legends about the existence of Mount Tai, but the most famous one is the Great Emperor of Mount Tai, who is in charge of Mount Tai and is the head of the Five Sacred Mountains Emperors.

Among the many legends, the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak also has another title—Lord of Mount Tai!

Chapter 159 Upgrade and Get Free Equipment?

This Imperial Seal of the Eastern Peak seems to bear the weight of life and death in a world, and entrusts the final resting place of countless souls after death.

Beneath the carved mountains of this imperial seal, it seems as if a vast and boundless world is being suppressed.

Compared to this seal, the entire starry world seemed insignificant.

In ancient China, the imperial seal itself was a symbol of power, and the Eastern Peak Imperial Seal, which carried such special power, was undoubtedly the power of death that Ares had mentioned before.

Looking at the Imperial Seal of Dongyue in his hand, Luo Tian was confused.

He also knew a little about the meaning represented by the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak, or the Lord of Mount Tai. Just now, Ares was talking to Luo Tian about the deities with the power of death.

The Lord of Mount Tai is one of the deities who, according to Ares, held the authority over death.

The Lord of Mount Tai is the highest deity who holds power over the underworld. He is a prominent figure in the entire Taoist mythology system, far surpassing the Ten Kings of Hell that people often hear about.

Originally, Luo Tian was just listening to Ares's words for fun. Although things like the source of death, uniqueness, and mythical deities sounded impressive, they were still too far removed from his understanding.

Luo Tian's current goal is to level up to level 6, ensure he has enough strength to protect himself, and then unlock the World Destroyer Demon God skin. If he doesn't like someone, he can just send them to the Dao of Enlightenment.

Therefore, Luo Tian never even considered taking the path of uniqueness that Rhys had mentioned.

However, to his utter surprise, the mountain came towards him instead of him walking towards it.

The invaluable power of death in Ares has become a free gift for Luo Tian as he levels up.

This made Luo Tian wonder if he really played League of Legends before he transmigrated, and not some kind of League of Legends or League of Legends.

Holding the Imperial Seal of the Eastern Peak tightly in his right hand, Luo Tian carefully examined the treasure in his hand.

Luo Tian didn't sense much of a deathly aura on the Eastern Peak Imperial Seal; it carried more of a majestic, ancient, and profound feeling.

Holding the Imperial Seal of the Eastern Peak in his hand, Luo Tian felt as if he had transformed into an emperor walking among mortals, wielding the power of death and ruling over everything.

In a daze, Luo Tian looked towards the horizon.

In that unknown place, separated by endless worlds, a vast and boundless world seemed to be faintly calling to him.

And above that vast world, a pair of enormous eyes, seemingly containing the essence of the Milky Way, slowly gazed upon him...

Suddenly freed from that strange perspective, Luo Tian seemed to feel a mysterious cause and effect connecting him to that vast world.

Even across many worlds, that causal connection has never been severed.

Shaking his head to clear the information about that vast world from his mind, Luo Tian's gaze remained fixed on the Eastern Peak Imperial Seal in his hand.

This exquisite imperial seal seemed to have become a part of Luo Tian himself, making him unable to put it down.

"Is this what it feels like to have equipment on a blank slate?"

I know how to upgrade and add attributes and skill points, but adding them to equipment is a first for me.

Luo Tian casually remarked.

"No! This isn't the first time!"

Luo Tian was stunned for a moment, then looked behind him.

After weighing Ares's soul, the pure white feather on the golden scales disappeared, and the scales returned to their original state of equality.

With his brows furrowed, Luo Tian's expression was strange.

"I remember first sensing the existence of the Golden Scales was after I advanced to level two when the phantom of the Golden Scales appeared. At that time, I only regarded the Golden Scales as part of the passively devouring souls."

After all, the dog's head is based on Anubis, the Egyptian god of death, so it's not surprising that it's associated with the Libra gold scales.

"But after reaching level three, the original Golden Scales seemed to break free from passively devouring souls and exist independently. Only then did I realize the special nature of the Golden Scales."

I just reached level four, and suddenly the Eastern Peak Imperial Seal, the symbol of the death authority of the Lord of Mount Tai, appeared. Is it a bonus item for each level up?

His gaze fell upon the golden scales, and Luo Tian gently touched the completely solidified scales with his palm, pondering as he speculated:

"Judging from the fact that the Imperial Seal of Mount Tai symbolizes the death authority of the Lord of Mount Tai, this golden scale that can weigh the soul is very likely the death authority of Anubis."

In legend, Anubis weighed good and evil with the heart of the dead and the feather of truth.

If the deceased's heart is heavier than the feather of truth, then he should go to hell; otherwise, he should go to heaven.

However, another interpretation suggests that the heart Anubis weighed represented the soul, so weighing the soul itself was not problematic.

Having grasped the meanings represented by the Golden Scales and the Imperial Seal of the Eastern Peak, Luo Tian's thoughts suddenly became clear.

"It turns out that Ares was right. In some ways, I was indeed on the same path as him, and our ultimate goal was indeed the uniqueness of death."

Thinking about this, Luo Tian suddenly felt a little regretful.

"If I had known better, I shouldn't have killed Ares outright. Wouldn't it have been better to keep him alive and extract more information about uniqueness?"

Ares, who left his body intact, could never have imagined that Luo Tian only realized his value after killing him.

However, after only a brief moment of agonizing over Ares' death, Luo Tian stopped worrying about it.

After all, Ares is dead, and there's no use regretting it now.

Moreover...

"As it stands, as long as I keep upgrading, the corresponding authority to die will be restored, which is a very clear path."

As long as I continue to level up, and with the return of the power of death, I can also achieve a degree of uniqueness, and compared to going to fight those death gods one-on-one, this kind of thing is undoubtedly much less risky.

Thinking of this, Luo Tian nodded with satisfaction.

Although the reason why the upgrade would grant the power of death was still unclear, Ares' appearance ultimately resolved some of Luo Tian's doubts.
