Chapter 558: Chapter 460: The Grace of Support, The Demonized Humans
“My people didn’t get the news of a large-scale arrival of the Demon Descendants. What about you?” Su Heng asked.
Ji Huaxi shook her head slightly, sowhat apologetically, “These days, I’ve been staying in the Mythical Battlefield, and indeed, I’ve been negligent on this matter.”
“I will start investigating imdiately after things here are wrapped up,” Ji Huaxi continued, “Once there’s any progress, I will take the initiative to send soone to notify you.”
“Alright.” Su Heng nodded.
Seeing that Ji Huaxi was completely exhausted, he said, “However, there’s no need to be too hard on yourself regarding this matter. Regardless of the Demon Descendants’ sches or devious plots, they are of no avail before an absolute gap in strength.”
“I understand.” Ji Huaxi’s lips curled up slightly as she smiled at Su Heng.
...
Su Heng’s gaze then shifted and landed on King Qingyang beside him. The two had known each other for a long ti, and with King Qingyang having ntioned several tis that he was about to make a breakthrough. Upon eting again, Su Heng imdiately noticed the earth-shaking change in King Qingyang’s aura. A smile appeared on his face as he nodded lightly, “Congratulations on your breakthrough, one step closer to the top.”
The gap between the two was just too great.
Being complinted by Su Heng, King Qingyang actually felt sowhat uneasy.
He bowed to Su Heng and then laughed a bit awkwardly, “Compared to you, it’s just a trivial improvent.”
“I have taken back the head of the Longevity King from the insect tyrant that injured the Princess,” Su Heng said calmly, “When I seized that head, there was still a bit of spiritual power left inside it, which imparted to so secret knowledge.”
Whoosh!
As he spoke, Su Heng extended a hand and pointed forward.
A streak of golden light fell into King Qingyang’s brow.
King Qingyang first felt a slight sting, followed imdiately by a flood of information spreading throughout his consciousness.
Upon seeing the contents, King Qingyang’s face showed a look of surprise.
What Su Heng left him.
It was the location of the Longevity King’s Daoist Field within the Heavenly Awakening Realm.
The Daoist Field is a small world refined by the spiritual power of a Martial Artist. If it’s destroyed, the best outco would be a fall in realm and damage to cultivation; the worst would be madness leading to death and extinction of one’s Dao Path. Conversely, if one is fortunate enough to inherit and refine a masterless Daoist Field within the Heavenly Awakening Realm, the path to becoming a Realm Master would be much smoother.
But such occurrences were too rare.
The Heavenly Awakening Realm is vast and boundless. Finding a lost world within such an expanse…
Is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Yet it was different with the coordinates left by the Longevity King.
On the day the Longevity King took the initiative to save King Qingyang from the Immortal Corpse King, it seed that their relationship was quite good.
Su Heng had already found his own Dao Path.
The Longevity King’s Daoist Field was practically of no use to him.
He couldn’t possibly spend so much ti and energy searching for so potential resources inside it.
Leaving this inheritance to his friend was without a doubt the most appropriate way to handle it.
As King Qingyang slowly digested the information, he also realized what it ant. Even soone as carefree as King Qingyang couldn’t keep his composure in the face of a path that almost directly led to the level of a Realm Master. He took a deep breath, his chest heaving, before bowing deeply to Su Heng, “I will never forget this act of support.”
Su Heng replied calmly, “You shouldn’t thank for this matter. You should thank the Longevity King.”
“If he still has any descendants in this world, perhaps they can be looked after.”
“That’s true,” King Qingyang nodded deeply.
Those around were sowhat curious as the conversation between the two was cryptic, and they really had no idea what was being discussed.
But judging by King Qingyang’s reaction, it seed that he had gained a great benefit from Su Heng. King Qingyang was already a practitioner at the Heavenly Awakening Realm. To go further would be to reach the Realm Lord Level, like that of the Princess.
Thinking deeper on it.
So people’s gazes beca fervent in a flash.
But thinking of Su Heng’s involvent, it was as if they were doused with cold water, their agitated brains instantly cooling down.
Although they envied King Qingyang’s good fortune, to have received favor from the Longevity King and then to befriend a top-level powerhouse like Su Heng, they held no ill intentions. They could only marvel in their hearts at King Qingyang’s luckiness.
“This commotion was not small; the demons in this part of the Mythical Battlefield have suffered many casualties. For quite so ti to co, they shouldn’t be able to pose a large-scale threat again,” Su Heng said to Ji Huaxi next to him, “Take advantage of this ti to get so good rest.”
“Mhmm.” Ji Huaxi nodded.
She pursed her lips and looked up, “I killed several insect tyrants here, and along with the accumulations my father collected previously in the Heavenly Awakening Realm, I will have soone package them up and send them to Linjiang.”
Su Heng was startled.
He had previously saved Ji Huaxi, saying she owed him a life.
At that ti, he was speaking in jest, and Ji Huaxi was also half-asleep and half-awake.
He didn’t expect her to rember it so firmly.
Actually…
With the carcass of the Leviathan King Worm and the flesh of ordinary Destruction Great Power Level creatures.
For Su Heng, they were not particularly valuable ingredients.
These things were better left as tonics for one’s own cultivation practice. Although this was what Su Heng thought, looking at Ji Huaxi’s pale and delicate cheeks, her earnest expression, Su Heng decided to nod and smile in agreent. He said, “I will arrange for Li Hongxiu to take care of this matter later on.”
Upon hearing this.
Ji Huaxi seed to relax, her slender lips exhaling deeply.
She gave Su Heng a big smile, “Great!”
…
Having dealt with the remaining matters in the Mythical Battlefield.
Su Heng didn’t stay any longer; he left directly and returned to the Blood Realm.
His trip outside was not long, but his gains were substantial. First, there were the large amounts of flesh provided by the Leviathan King Worm, and that Insect Swarm Heart of significant aning. Furthermore, regarding the ascension of human genes, Su Heng had already gathered quite a bit of data. Although he encountered various accidents, thankfully he had managed to take the most difficult step.
With the vast genetic samples recorded in the Insect Swarm Heart, completing the genetic ascension for the entire species is only a matter of ti for Su Heng.
However, sharpening the axe won’t hold up the work of cutting wood.
Su Heng plans to absorb and strengthen the Insect Swarm Heart first before proceeding to the next step.
Thinking this way…
Su Heng’s speed suddenly skyrocketed.
With a sonic boom tearing through the air, in a rise and a fall,
Su Heng’s burly body leaped over the mountains, turning into a straight black line, vanishing into the distant grey skies.
…
…
…
anwhile, in an abandoned village in the Linjiang area,
Bang!
With the explosion of roof beams,
a dark shadow fiercely sprang out from the collapsing house.
At that mont, with a pouncing attack, carrying a nauseating gust, furiously lunged at Rachel.
Szzt!
At the brink of danger,
Rachel sidestepped, narrowly avoiding this potentially fatal strike.
Ignoring the torn wound on his shoulder, he sunk his weight, gripped the broken sword in his hand tightly, swiftly turned around, his gaze intently fixed on the monster that had just attacked him.
It was a huge demon, five ters long and wolf-like in appearance.
Its fur had all fallen off, exposing red muscles to the air.
Especially the ring of colorful flesh frills around its neck, resembling those of a lizard; they opened and closed with the demon’s heavy breathing, making it look extrely vicious.
It was obviously starving to the extre.
With green lights flickering in its eyes and its sharp teeth dripping with thick saliva,
It didn’t even wait to stabilize itself; its powerful hind limbs thrust against the ground a few tis, before it once again opened its jaws biting down at Rachel.
Hiss…
With exertion, Rachel pushed upwards with his shoulders.
The broken sword in his hand thrust forward in response, aiming straight for the belly of the wolf demon.
Under normal circumstances, infused with the strength enhanced by Su Heng, coupled with the demon’s inherent impact force. When both forces collided and erupted instantaneously, the resulting power was sufficient to severely injure the demon in a flash. With this unique skill, Rachel had already killed countless demons during the ti he was separated from Su Heng.
But this ti was an exception.
Szzt!
The grating noise, similar to a cat’s claws on a blackboard, rang out.
Rachel’s wrist trembled violently; the broken sword nearly flew out of his grasp. The creature’s abdon was covered with a thick layer of armor, and its defense remained unbroken.
Boom!
Rachel’s vision went dark as he was toppled to the ground by the wolf demon.
The wolf demon had a mocking expression as it opened its bloody jaws, biting down towards Rachel’s neck.
Splurt!
Blood sprayed wildly.
However, it was not Rachel’s head that was torn open, but that of the demon on top of him.
As the demonic bloodline was activated, Rachel’s head swiftly swelled, elongating, with sharp hairs growing on both sides, and a grotesque, distended mouth opening wide to bite fiercely onto the wolf demon’s jaw.
Then, with a strong twitch of the muscles in his neck, he violently shook and tore off half of the wolf demon’s jaw with a rending Szzt.
“Awoo!”
Thick black smoke erged from Rachel’s body, while the wolf demon looked on in terror.
As blood dripped from its mouth, the wolf demon turned tail, attempting to flee.
But after the demonic transformation, Rachel’s physical abilities surged as well, and with a fierce leap forward, he instantaneously pounced on the wolf demon, pinning it to the ground. Then, the unsettling sound of crunching echoed through the empty streets.
After a while,
Boom!
Rachel, who had reverted to his human form, lay sprawled on the ground.
Dizziness washed over him, and a tide-like sting surged throughout his body.
Struggling, he raised his arm, seeing it covered in black hair, abnormally thick, with no sign of receding.
“Phew!” Rachel let out a sigh, his expression dimming. He knew his body was starting to break down and he wouldn’t last much longer. But there was no regret; to be able to be reborn in such a manner and seek revenge against the demons that had slaughtered his villagers was enough for him.
He lay there quietly, gazing at the grey skies, waiting for death to co.
But just then…
Tap!
On the supposedly deserted street,
suddenly the sound of footsteps could be heard.
Rachel was startled. Despite being utterly exhausted, he struggled to slowly rise from the ground.
