Now that the cat spirit could suppress the heavily wounded Supre Demon’s Soul, Zheng Yichen went straight to where the fishing rod was inserted. After grasping it, he could feel the Supre Demon’s Soul weakening at an even faster rate.
Part of the Supre Demon’s Soul was eliminated by the Power of Death, while another part was devoured by Zheng Yichen’s extraordinary abilities.
The feeling of enhancent beca quite ordinary though. It couldn’t exactly be called weak—after all, it was a Supre Demon, and that carried a certain prestige—but if Zheng Yichen had to give an assessnt now, it was not as good as high-level use of the Sky Pillar’s energy by the Devourers!
Let’s put it this way, after Zheng Yichen finished off those Devourers that made high-level use of the Sky Pillar’s energy, he inquired again about the consumption required to enhance himself using blood containing the Sky Pillar’s energy. The result was that the consumption dropped from an astonishing 500 rit points and 20 million to 498 rit points, with the money remaining unchanged!
That is to say, eliminating two high-level usage Devourers could save one rit point’s worth of consumption. Looking at it this way, it didn’t seem that many were needed; apparently, eliminating a thousand Devourers would suffice, which seed much simpler than leveling up through monster slaying in online gas.
"Leave so for ...nevermind." Watching the Supre Demon’s Soul being nibbled away to nothing by the cat spirit, Zheng Yichen shook his head. This thing was slashed by the battle saber with a cutting force field; the cutting force field not only had a strong impact on matter but also possessed lethal power against energy.
In addition to the materialized Black Light itself also being very powerful, the Supre Demon’s Soul really didn’t have much resistance against the suppression by the cat spirit. Probably realizing that Zheng Yichen would co over later to do sothing, the cat spirit ate with particular haste.
Just like the naive and gluttonous cat that Zheng Yichen had before transmigration, which would eat until its belly turned round and bulging, nearly to the point of vomiting.
The cat spirit, having gorged itself, shrank its body and burrowed into the cat spirit cloak, while Zheng Yichen collected so materials from the scene, including those ’spikes’ that were finer than hair—Supre Demon materials were not to be missed.
As for the scene itself, Zheng Yichen glanced around. There were no Supre Demon servants in this place; at least, he hadn’t seen any when he had co looking. But the Supre Demon had ’lived’ in this spot. He took out the fishing rod and drew a line next to it, and a Gate of Death appeared.
"Your Excellency Chang Qing?" Diviner Yi Nan, who had been waiting, saw the Gate of Death opening in front of him and waited until Zheng Yichen’s figure erged before speaking.
"It’s . Weren’t so people looking for the Supre Demon treasure? Tell them the Supre Demon treasure is in Hell. I’ve opened this gate now, how much they can find depends on their own skills, and this gate will last for one day."
"This..." Looking at the very stable Gate of Death before him, Yi Nan said, "The Supre Demon treasure itself is a conspiracy of the Supre Demon."
He felt that Zheng Yichen was a bit petulant. No, he was venting on behalf of the three little ones. Treasure hunting in Hell? The greedy ones don’t care about the situation in Hell at all. Even if they truly find treasures, just the influence of Hell’s atmosphere on them could lead to endless troubles later.
Zheng Yichen can ignore the influence of Hell’s atmosphere, and so can Liu Hongzhao—because they are special!
The others? How long can their Inner Strength protect their bodies?
"No, no, no, what I’m doing is telling them whether they can find the Supre Demon treasure is not up to the Daughter of Heaven’s Mandate, but up to ! What I make available to them is what they can search for, otherwise let them grope through Hell slowly!"
"...I understand." Yi Nan nodded, looked once more at the stable Gate of Death, and with a wave of his hand, a line of text appeared on the ground, regarding the Gate’s opening and closing tis.
He then began spreading the ssage. This place was within Qi Family Town, not within the restricted areas, but a public area.
The news release montarily suppressed the fervor of the resistance to relocation. So greeted it with great skepticism, but others observed the other side through the Gate of Death, indeed finding traces of the Supre Demon’s activity.
There were even buildings belonging to the Supre Demon!
So Mages even detected the last lingering resentful thoughts of the Supre Demon, the remains sucked into desiccated skeletons by an unknown force. Even though they were remains, those remains still held a touch of the Supre Demon’s power...
The news was true. However, after certain people confird this, they still actively spread false information, then they ventured into Hell on their own, starting their treasure hunt. One day wasn’t much, but it was enough for them to gain a lot.
Later, others ca to their senses, cursing as they rushed into the Gate of Death. The impact of Hell’s environnt? Very few cared about it in the face of substantial profit!
They feared falling behind, making others gain more from the Supre Demon’s leftover treasures.
The information connecting the Daughter of Heaven’s Mandate to the Supre Demon treasure? After the first batch gained things left by the Supre Demon, the rumor started to degrade. The Daughter of Heaven’s Mandate’s capability to open the Supre Demon treasure was just a rumor, never confird.
And now, soone has actually opened a passage related to the Supre Demon’s leftovers, with people definitely obtaining things left by the Supre Demon, and those things to them were treasures!
That includes the remains still harboring a slight Supre Demon’s might.
So why bother with the Daughter of Heaven’s Mandate... It seems she also couldn’t do these things.
"Human nature ah..." At the entrance to Qi Family Town, the alien demon Shao Heng straightened his hat, "But perhaps I shouldn’t be the one to talk about this. Farewell."
He paid his respects to Zheng Yichen and left Qi Family Town. Under normal circumstances, he would have left this place long ago, but Zheng Yichen’s return with stronger town forces ant he could finally leave.
The calculations of the Supre Demons? Zheng Yichen, freshly back, had already slain two Supre Demons; those remaining were probably only too eager to stay away from the place. Moreover, Zheng Yichen now was clearly standing with the human race. Though humans were sparse, as long as they didn’t act recklessly, they could still rise in the future.
Alien demon?
Zheng Yichen did not reject the existence of alien demons, but this did not an they were allowed to do whatever they desired. As for those alien demons influenced by the Supre Demons, Shao Heng didn’t wish to comnt further. If pushed to say sothing, it would be that they were beyond salvation.
With the Supre Demons themselves struggling to survive, how could one save those alien demons who had been brainwashed by them?
The key lay in those alien demons who had not yet awakened. The task ahead of him was arduous and long. If he had left earlier, by now he might have had a sufficient foundation, but alas... Human scheming and the influence of Supre Demons had delayed the matter.
"When you have ti, you should visit Dusk Territory; there are more possibilities there that could help you regain your handso appearance."
"I will definitely go when I have the ti," Shao Heng replied, rubbing his fingers together. He could feel the roughness of his skin; it remained the sa as ever. Although he was an alien demon, the mories of his forr life were too vivid, greatly affecting him and making him lean towards humans. Given that, he couldn’t help but care about his appearance.
Right now, he looked like a human, but just a bit too rough around the edges.
Shao Heng’s departure didn’t attract much attention. Diviner Yi Nan, observing the skies above Qi Family Town, had a contemplative expression. The Heaven’s Mandate of the alien demon had undergone subtle changes. Previously, he could not see clearly certain things, but now he found them quite easy to discern, as long as he didn’t interfere.
"Just a slight delay, but the ones most affected are still the alien demons," Yi Nan said, withdrawing his gaze. It was true that he could see the Heaven’s Mandate clearly, but watching for too long was still tiring.
As for the delay... naturally, it was because Shao Heng hadn’t left earlier as he should have. Had Shao Heng left on ti, the alien demons could have started polarizing earlier, with more of them leaning towards the human race. Then there would be fewer extremist alien demons.
The number of humans who suffered would also be fewer. Now... in the future, even more of those extremist alien demons would die.
"A stroke of luck for the human race," he murmured, raising his tea cup in hand and draining the tea in one gulp.
"Drinking tea like it’s wine, I’ve got a few bottles of fine liquor stashed away," Yui Anhe spoke up.
"Oh? I’d love to have a taste if I get the chance," Wei Xue’s eyes lit up. Yui Anhe was known in their circle for his ’feng shui drilling’—an expert in this field, he could even divinate the weaknesses of Supre Demons. The place where he hid his wine was certainly special.
Yui Anhe smiled faintly, "After the migration, I will surely not disappoint you all."
After the ’Supre Demon treasure’ was unsealed, the resistance to migration swiftly diminished, especially after they linked the migration with the treasure. So of the resistance was taken care of without their intervention, as people took action to resolve it on their own.
This was all in half a day’s work, and it was easy to imagine that resistance would lessen with ti. As for the place to open the Gate of Death, it was isolated for treasure hunters to explore.
Of course, opening the Gate of Death ant Hell’s breath would leak out, necessitating a quick migration to avoid the negative influence on everyone. This was one of the key connections between the migration and the search for the Supre Demon treasure.
Those seeking the treasure would have to pay such a price, letting those against migration and those eager for treasure sort it out in a fight if needed.
Yet, they didn’t co to blows.
"This is truly troubling," Lin Yaoyao said, looking at a jar in front of her and resting her cheek on her hand with a troubled expression. It was the sa kind of worry as before; where Supre Demon Blood was hard to find elsewhere, here it was in such abundance that one could beco satiated with it.
Zheng Yichen was too generous.
"Now that you’ve undergone your body’s transformation, this Supre Demon Blood won’t cause you indigestion. Use it quickly," Zheng Yichen knocked on Lin Yaoyao’s head. The girl was obviously being coy, and the current Zheng Yichen was not in the mood for it.
He was thinking about finding the next batch of Supre Demons; two were not enough to kill. Moreover, their existence could still improve his Performance Coefficient. There was still a distance to go before complete ineffectiveness, and he was eager to act now for fear that the remaining Supre Demons might escape.
After all, these Supre Demons had seen the Boundary Breaker and knew the special nature of anomalies. And even though anomalies in this world didn’t appear in their masses daily like in Hazy City, what if these Supre Demons were lucky and found an anomaly? What if they ran away without a second thought?
This he could not tolerate.
