Chapter 399: Chapters 169-170 Daylight Thunderclap (Thanks to the Alliance Hierarch "潇洒拐子" for the reward, a two-in-one Chapter)

Facing Xun Qu’s flattery, Shen Changqing merely responded with a smile. Ever since the battle at Mountain-Breaking City, he had heard plenty of similar praises. Now, while not completely immune, he was not far off. Shen Changqing’s attention was entirely captured by the coffins.

"Could these things that can seal Demon Evils have come from the Demon Sealing Hall?" he asked.

The coffins looked very extraordinary; being able to seal Demon Evils, they were indeed treasures in themselves.

Xun Qu nodded. "Indeed, all three coffins are from the Demon Sealing Hall. According to the people of the Demon Sealing Hall, these can seal anything below a high-grade Demon Evil, though some specific methods must be employed. Furthermore, they are not easy to produce, and we will have to return them afterward."

Hearing this, Shen Changqing silently nodded to himself. That made sense. With the coffins being so precious, it was only natural for the Demon Sealing Hall not to give them away for no reason; returning them was to be expected.

Stepping forward two paces, Shen Changqing gave a simple wave of his hand. Robust True Yuan burst forth, shattering the Iron Chains bound around the outside of the first coffin.

Next, with just a thought, the coffin lid flew off and landed on the ground. As the lid was lifted, a rich Yin Evil Aura immediately spread out.

Shen Changqing looked inside the coffin. He saw a green-faced, fanged Demon Evil, its body riddled with Demon Sealing Nails, pinning it securely in place.

Now that the coffin was open, the Demon Evil struggled violently, cursing loudly, "Human Clan, how dare you treat me like this! Once I break this seal and emerge, I will surely kill all of you!"

Faced with the Demon Evil’s curses, Shen Changqing appeared indifferent, turning his gaze to Xun Qu instead.

Noticing his look, Xun Qu said, "To find suitable Demon Evils for Elder Shen, I specifically selected three from the Demon-Subduing Prison. They are quite strong for their low rank, and I believe they will meet Elder Shen’s needs."

"Defender Xun has been considerate," Shen Changqing said with a faint smile.

He could see that the Demon Evil in the coffin was indeed not weak. While not as strong as the one from Luyang City, its aura was much stronger than the Demon Evil that had just broken through in Luoyang City.

Meanwhile, the Demon Evil was still hurling insults. The creature possibly sensed its impending death and thus held nothing back.

Shen Changqing frowned. "Noisy!"

With a flick of his finger, a Golden Finger Gang burst forth. The Yin Evil Aura filling the hall was instantly expelled and devoured by the scorching aura.

Watching the incoming Golden Finger Gang, the Demon Evil’s cursing paused, fear apparent in its green eyes. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

In the end, the Golden Finger Gang struck, piercing through its forehead. The blood hadn’t even begun to flow before the power of the Divine Sun Collapsing Heavenly Finger evaporated it.

Under Xun Qu’s gaze, he saw the Demon Evil’s forehead pierced. Then, with the wound as the center, its entire head was incinerated into ash by a terrifying force.

Dead!

A Demon Evil, so effortlessly eradicated.

Recalling the power contained within that Finger Gang, Xun Qu’s heart was shocked once again.

Meanwhile, after slaying the Demon Evil, a rich Spiritual Power surged toward Shen Changqing. He did not block this Spiritual Power, instead allowing it to enter his Sea of Consciousness.

There, the small figure seated on the lotus suddenly opened its mouth and swallowed the Spiritual Power. Immediately, the small figure seemed to grow a bit larger, or perhaps there was no change at all. At the same time, the lotus beneath the small figure also swayed slightly.

No remarkable changes. My Divine Soul has grown somewhat, but there’s still a significant gap before a breakthrough to the third tier. Shen Changqing opened his eyes, fully aware of his own condition.

Regarding this, he wasn’t too surprised. One of the four mid-grade Demon Evils he had previously slain had pushed his Spiritual System to its peak, while the power from the other three had only allowed his Divine Soul to reach the second tier. It was evident that enhancing the Divine Soul further would require much more Spiritual Power than was needed during the Grandmaster stage. A single low-grade Demon Evil... how could it possibly elevate my Divine Soul from the second tier directly to the third?

After absorbing that Spiritual Power, Shen Changqing repeated the process. He opened the other two coffins and, without waiting for the Demon Evils inside to utter any nonsense, immediately struck them down.

Two more dense waves of Spiritual Power surged toward him.

The small figure of my Divine Soul within the Sea of Consciousness is somewhat larger than before, yet not by much. As for the lotus beneath it, those swaying petals also seem subtly different.

He then checked his panel. The Slaughter Value had increased from a little over one hundred to over six hundred points.

Observing Shen Changqing’s demeanor, Xun Qu smiled and said, "Congratulations, Elder Shen! Your strength has advanced once more!"

Truthfully, he couldn’t perceive any change in Shen Changqing’s strength, but he guessed as much from the latter’s expression.

Hearing this, Shen Changqing shook his head. "There’s no substantial advancement to speak of. If only there were higher-grade Demon Evils available, that would be even better."

At this point, something occurred to him. Back in Mountain-Breaking City, I slew four mid-grade Demon Evils. According to the Demon-Subduing Division’s rules, slaying one mid-grade Demon Evil provides a voucher to exchange for another mid-grade Demon Evil. However, to actually make the exchange, besides the voucher, one also needs ten thousand Merit Points. Four mid-grade Demon Evils... that would be forty thousand Merit Points.

Just considering this, Shen Changqing dismissed the idea that had just sprung to mind.
