One more catty, one more attribute point-Chapter 481 - 400: Surpassing the Realm of Myth

Chapter 481: Chapter 400: Surpassing the Realm of Myth

These golden lights seem sacred and serene, even carrying a faint scent of dried roses.

But in reality, they are extremely dangerous.

Inside is full of fatal radiation that can cause genetic mutations.

This room, under the influence of Su Heng, has truly transformed into a Purgatory Abyss.

For ordinary people, merely stepping inside will instantly turn them into a puddle of pus. Even theoretically immortal Earth Immortals cannot stay near Su Heng for long, otherwise, they will suffer irreversible and permanent damage.

When Su Heng’s thoughts slightly stirred.

...

He let his Second Heart beat faster to quickly reclaim these external drifting powers.

Only then did the golden light filling the room gradually dim.

At this moment, he cleared his mind and entered a state of introspection to examine the gains of this closed-door cultivation.

Overall, not much discrepancy.

Foll𝑜w current novℯls on ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm.

It was basically in line with what Su Heng initially anticipated.

But besides that, there were no extra gains that were surprisingly delightful.

After absorbing a large amount of Sun Iron Essence, the Second Heart had been somewhat repaired.

Its power had climbed a level, but it had not undergone a substantial transformation. As Su Heng’s power slowly approached the limits understood by people, every step forward would have to be explored on his own, making it difficult to draw from the experiences of predecessors.

Under such circumstances, any slight increase in strength was extremely precious.

Not to mention the Second Heart, such a major weapon, which inherently represents the power source of Divine Beasts.

Fortunately, this situation.

Su Heng had anticipated when he left Dragon Abyss and discussed the Tao with King Qingyang.

At that time, he created the Eight-Nine Mystical Skill, a skill with seventy-two levels, and every breakthrough of nine levels would bring a targeted enhancement.

With the cultivation over this period, and a large number of Attribute Points refined from the Blood Realm, Su Heng was now not far from completing his first transformation. He had basically planned to provide the chance of the first transformation to the Golden Crow Heart, to enhance his own upper limit of lethality. If everything went successfully, then the power of the Second Heart would surpass the Golden Crow at its peak.

Thinking thus.

Su Heng pushed open the grand door and slowly walked out.

He had been in closed-door cultivation for about ten days, and quite a few things had happened outside during this short period.

“Cough cough!” With a command from Su Heng.

Soon, Li Hongxiu came over, pushing the door open from outside, her eyes circled with dark bags, holding a thick stack of documents in her arms.

“My lord, please review,” Li Hongxiu spoke in a weary voice.

Su Heng reached out to take them.

The documents were organized into categories, recording the major and minor events that had recently occurred.

The stronghold in the Blood Realm had been taken down by Su Heng.

With the high-level combat capability of Tong Shan Great Saint, comparable to a Pillar God, and backed by the Dragon Guards and several big shots from the Demon Path, subsequent matters progressed smoothly.

Several Grotto Heavens had been captured, more than a dozen Demon Gods slaughtered, large areas of mining regions and specialty resources were marked, and the construction teams had already begun preparing for the first round of mining.

It is worth mentioning that breakthroughs were made in decrypting those Demon Descendant machinery during this time.

Some of these achievements could soon be applied to mining, undoubtedly greatly enhancing the efficiency of resource collection.

In addition to that, representatives from commercial associations from far regions like Changyue, Linjiang, and even farther in Central State had arrived in Baihua County, conveying their hopes to establish cooperation with Su Heng.

To show their sincerity.

These people directly delivered their first batch of goods and resources to his doorstep free of charge.

This indeed somewhat surprised Su Heng, as merchants are usually known for their profit-driven nature; how could they have changed so quickly at this time?

Beside him, Li Hongxiu explained, “The disturbance you made in Grassland State has begun to spread, drawing the attention of many major forces. They might be trying to establish a good relationship with you, or at the least leave an impression on you, right?”

“So that’s how it is.” Su Heng flipped through and immediately understood.

Although he had used some methods to clear the battlefield before, the anomalies caused by the fight were astonishing.

It was noticed by some astute people, which was very normal. Plus, in these turbulent times, such matters are quite sensitive, and Su Heng also highly regarded Li Hongxiu’s interpretation.

“Then these commercial associations…” Li Hongxiu asked.

“Let Qin Shunying take care of the negotiations,” Su Heng replied, noting the dark circles on Li Hongxiu’s face.

“Okay!”

Li Hongxiu took out a small notebook from her bosom and made notes with a charcoal pencil.

There were too many varied matters she needed to handle, and the resources involved in each transition were immense.

Even though Li Hongxiu was a Great Cultivator of the Heavenly Deceit Realm and possessed considerable spiritual foundation, she dared not rely entirely on her memory at this time and had to ensure double insurance.

Rustle!

Li Hongxiu flipped the notebook, “There’s another matter that needs your review.”

“What is it?” Su Heng handed her the documents he was holding.

“Traces of Demon Descendants seem to have appeared in Beie State, some foreign Martial Artists have disappeared without a trace, there might be some conspiracy,” Li Hongxiu handed her notebook to Su Heng.

Su Heng flipped through and immediately frowned.

With continuous good news coming from the Mythical Battlefield, the Jiang Er region had attracted a large number of Martial Artists.

As a result, it was now impossible to account for just how many Martial Artists had disappeared; a rough estimate alone was quite frightening.

Among these missing people.

There are indeed some powerful figures in the outside world, who are quite renowned.

One can imagine the strength of the manipulator behind the scenes who can silently make them disappear without a trace.

“Demon Descendant…”

Su Heng and this race have a deep-seated enmity.

Nearly an entire tribe was annihilated by his hand.

Moreover, the birth of the “Original Dragon Guards” would not have been possible without the selfless dedication of these Demon Descendants.

As the storm gradually arose, these Demon Descendants, after a brief period of dormancy, also began to show their sharpness, conducting sabotage in the dark.

Another point that needs careful consideration is whether these Demon Descendants are native ones hidden within the Dynasty or those who have returned from the Heavenly Deceit Realm.

If it’s the latter…

Su Heng’s eyes narrowed slightly as he said, “I am aware of this matter.”

He thought for a moment and instructed about another matter, “I need to locate a Doomsday Volcano in the Blood Realm, and a large amount of Demon Blood and Flesh for my forthcoming cultivation. Notify Tong Shan Great Saint and Zhao Zongwu among others to start preparations immediately.”

“Understood!” Li Hongxiu nodded.

Su Heng waved his hand, and Li Hongxiu turned into a red shadow and drifted away.

Phew!

Su Heng downed a cup of strong tea on the table in front of him.

Then he stepped forward, and his figure suddenly disappeared, leaving only the winds generated that flipped the books on the table, producing a rustling sound.

…

…

…

Beie State, within an abandoned monastery.

This monastery was located in the deep mountains, its tall outer walls had collapsed, and the remaining parts were covered with thick layers of ivy.

Inside the courtyard, several trees grew lushly, their roots bulging outwards, covered with moss. Nearby, a statue of Buddha had collapsed, and a bronze cast bell lay on the ground, encased in cobwebs.

In the deep and solemn Great Hall, tiles had fallen from the ceiling, allowing slightly dim sunlight from outside to shine on Arturo’s greatly elevated back.

Arturo had four arms, all spread out.

Each arm held a blade that gleamed coldly, currently continuously slicing at something, accompanied by bursts of painful and muffled groaning sounds.

Upon closer inspection.

It was discovered that the figure lying on the table in front of him was already somewhat beyond human recognition.

His skin had been completely peeled off, limbs severed, and abdomen split open, the constantly squirming organs exposed, and weird noises could even be heard from within.

The intense agony twisted the person’s face, but traces of Li Mingyi’s features could vaguely be seen.

It seemed Arturo did not intend to kill her but rather keep her in a state worse than death, continuously inflicting torture to extract emotions like pain, despair, hatred, and so forth, to their extreme limits, using these as anchors to stir ripples in Heavenly Deceit Realm and complete the ritual, forming a link.

Looking further.

In this hall, Li Mingsu was not the only one suffering torture.

The Buddha sculpture in front, and the Arhat sculptures on either side.

At first glance, they seemed unremarkable.

But upon closer examination.

It became clear that these eerie sculptures were entirely constructed from flesh and human skin.

Among them, one could even see the faces of Li Mingsu and Li Mingyuan, the siblings stitched together to form a two-headed, four-armed monster, which at that moment had a vacant gaze, its mouth constantly opening and closing as if chanting some strange spell.

As the low sounds continued to rise and echo, streams of dark red chaotic flows gradually trickled across the crumbling floor of the temple.

Bang!

The door was suddenly pushed open.

A female Demon Descendant wearing a leather coat, with crimson long hair and horns on her head entered from outside.

Natalie looked around with a clear expression of discomfort on her face.

But she didn’t say much.

She quickly approached Arturo, sweat on her forehead, and spoke urgently, “Quickly clean up everything here, our message might have been leaked, we need to leave immediately.”

“Leave now, no!” Arturo turned around, giving her a bloodshot, almost insane look, “My ritual is about to be complete, then Lord Algres’ might will partially descend, don’t you want to avenge those brethren who died here?”

“If you don’t leave now, I fear you won’t live to see that moment!” Natalie spoke coldly.

“I…” Arturo was about to retort.

But at that moment, a sharp pain suddenly pierced his chest.

The crazed look in his eyes changed abruptly, reaching towards his chest, quickly pulling out a white gem.

This was a tool developed by the elder Demon Descendants, called the Divine Grace Stone.

It had only one effect: to detect nearby Human strong presences. The more active the power in their bodies, the more intense the red light on the Divine Grace Stone would glow.

Just as Arturo took it out, it could clearly be seen that the Divine Grace Stone was visibly turning red, then purple, and finally into a sinister black.

Crack!

A crisp sound rang out.

Under the exchange of glances between Arturo and Natalie, the Divine Grace Stone suddenly exploded, turning into fragments.
