Chapter 217: Breakthrough! 8th Heavenly Layer!
Several dozen li away from Cathode City.
Su Qin’s eyes were hot as his thoughts turned quickly.
For Su Qin, once he Cultivates the [Big Sun Divine Art], he will be able to incarnate into a Three-legged Golden Crow. Even a young Three-legged Golden Crow was enough to crush an Earth Immortal.
It’s a pity that…
Although there were no bottlenecks in the [Big Sun Divine Art], the resources needed were akin to that of mountains and seas.
Of course, the qualitative changes it will bring will be hard to find in the world.
Originally, Su Qin was thinking about finding a place with plenty of Fire Element to Sign In, and Cathode City was just that! How could he not be happy?
“Master.”
“The Cathode City Lord led many Demon Kings under his command, all of whom died outside the Demon Cloud City. There should be no powerhouse in Cathode City right now…”
Mo Ji cautiously said next to him.
s
“Got it.”
Su Qin slightly nodded and moved towards Cathode City.
After leaving the Demon Cloud City, Su Qin did not go to Cathode City immediately. Instead, he walked around the Demon Cloud City to find other places to Sign In. After more than a year, Su Qin travelled to Cathode City at a moderate pace.
When Mo Ji saw Su Qin leaving, she immediately followed.
Soon, Su Qin came to the front of Cathode City.
Compared to the Demon Cloud City, Cathode City was much more prosperous. Even though the City Lord of Cathode City had not returned for so long, there were still a large number of Demons entering and leaving the city every day.
“8 Demon Kings?”
Su Qin opened the [Eyes of Truth] and looked around, inspecting Cathode City at this moment.
Currently, in the entire Cathode City, there were 8 Demon Kings. These eight Demon Kings were the kind that had just entered the Demon King level.
When Su Qin appeared in front of Cathode City, he did not hide his figure. So soon, a line of Demon Kings came out of Cathode City and stood in front of Su Qin, respectfully saying:
“Greetings, Demon Cloud City Lord.”
Su Qin killed the Cathode City Lord and many Demon Kings outside the Demon Cloud City. It had been more than a year since this news had spread throughout the region. Of course, Cathode City had received the news early.
Therefore, over the past year or so, the remaining Demon Kings in Cathode City had been worrying day and night, fearing about Su Qin’s sudden arrival. They wondered if they’ll be treated the same and killed like the Cathode City Lord.
Hence, these Demon Kings had given orders early, dedicating some Demons to monitor the outside of the city. Once there was any figure of Su Qin, they were immediately notified.
“Oh?”
“You know me?”
Su Qin looked at the respectful Demon Kings.
“City Lord’s reputation has spread throughout the Demon Race. Which Demon does not know of his existence?” The leader of the Demon Kings respectfully said: “I am here specially, waiting for the City Lord to take over Cathode City.”
“You are wise.”
Su Qin glanced at the Demon King and then walked straight into Cathode City.
As Su Qin entered, the Demon King relaxed. What they feared most was that Su Qin would kill them without saying a word.
If this was the case, they wouldn’t even have the opportunity to surrender.
Now that Su Qin was keeping them alive, there should be no danger as long as the Demon King doesn’t get himself killed deliberately.
“Hehe…”
Mo Ji looked at the Demon Kings and suddenly a strong sense of satisfaction rose in her heart.
Next, Mo Ji and several Demon Kings quickly followed behind Su Qin.
When they disappeared completely, the outside of Cathode City exploded in discussions.
Many Demons were stunned. It was the first time they saw the Demon Kings in Cathode City act in such a behaved manner. Facing Su Qin, these Demon Kings even kneeled on the spot.
“Humph~”
“What do you know?”
“That was the one who killed the Cathode City Lord!”
A Demon, who recognized Su Qin, lowered his voice and said.
“What?!”
“He is the Demon Cloud City Lord?”
When the rest of the Demons heard this, they were astonished.
Although they didn’t recognize Su Qin immediately, how could they not have heard of Su Qin’s reputation?
The Cathode City Lord, a powerhouse with a radius of one million li, had suddenly died!
“Then, what shall we do?”
“This Demon Cloud City Lord won’t kill us, right?”
A cowardly Demon couldn’t help but ask.
“What to do?”
The other Demon sneered: “If the Demon Cloud City Lord really wants to kill, what can you do?”
“Yes, although the Demon Cloud City Lord is decisive in killing, he would probably not bother to slaughter the weak. Otherwise, the Demon Cloud City would have become a dead city already.”
A third Demon nodded and said.
“However, Cathode City really has a great character visiting it this time…” The Demon who spoke at the beginning, sighed in a low voice.
The rest of the Demons were silent, expressing awe.
……
Just when Cathode City was in an uproar due to the arrival of Su Qin.
Su Qin had already arrived in the City Lord’s great hall. Including Mo Ji, all of the Demon Kings were waiting outside the City Lord’s great hall.
“You all can go.”
“If Master has anything, I will notify you.” Mo Ji glanced at the Demon Kings, who were uneasy and said.
“Yes.”
The Demon Kings looked at each other and bowed.
Currently, deep in the City Lord’s great hall.
An old tree was exuding demonic light as it sways, it looked extremely out of the ordinary.
Compared with the ancient tree in Demon Cloud City, the branches and leaves of the ancient tree in Cathode City looked a bit red and a burning aura was slowly permeating around it.
“Are the branches of the Ancient Demon Tree different?”
Su Qin was standing under the old tree with a thoughtful look on his face.
The ancient tree in Cathode City was also a branch of the Ancient Demon Tree, but for unknown reasons, the state of this ancient tree was different.
“Is it because of the volcano underground, or is it because the real Ancient Demon Tree is divided into Metal, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth?”
Su Qin touched his chin.
“Forget it.”
“Let’s not worry about these things.”
“Let’s try Signing In.”
Su Qin pondered for a moment, and said silently in his heart: “System, Sign In.”
[Congratulations to the Host for Signing In successfully! Obtained the ‘Red Flame Demon Pill’.]
A cold, mechanical voice rang in Su Qin’s ears.
“Red Flame Demon Pill?”
Su Qin’s mind quickly merged into the System Storage and found a fully red pill in the corner.
This Red Flame Demon Pill, from aura alone, was not as good as the Fire Origin Divine Pill, but it was not much different.
What was more important was that the number of Sign Ins he could do here, should far exceed that of the Cave Mansion on Ying State Monster Island.
The ancient tree in Demon Cloud City can allow Su Qin to Sign In for several years, so it should be even more since Cathode City was significantly larger than the Demon Cloud City?
“Not bad.”
“There’s hope of Cultivating the [Big Sun Divine Art].”
Su Qin had a smile on his face, thinking with satisfaction.
“From today onwards, I will enter seclusion here and keep Signing In.”
Su Qin made a decision in his mind, and notified Mo Ji with his Demonic Will. He then sat cross-legged and started Cultivating.
……
Ying State Monster Island.
Within the Cave Mansion.
Su Qin’s aura slowly calmed down.
“Finally at Peak 7th Heavenly Layer, I am now ready to break through the 8th Heavenly Layer.”
Su Qin breathed a sigh of relief, and thought quickly.
“This time entering Peak 7th Heavenly Layer consumed nearly one-tenth of the Spirit Spring, and the rest should be enough for me to enter the 8th Heavenly Layer.”
Su Qin sat cross-legged and thought to himself.
“This Spirit Spring has saved me at least five years of hard work.”
Su Qin slightly nodded.
Cultivation, especially in the Legend Realm, was not just about devouring World’s Essence Qi.
World’s Essence Qi was all over the Heavens and Earth. Even in the downtime of vitality, there were many of them. But for the truly powerful Legend, World’s Essence Qi can make up for their consumption, but to go further? Don’t even think about it.
If a Legend wants to breakthrough, in addition to getting insights, the most important thing is the World’s Spirit.
Only when the vitality recovers, will they appear in large numbers. The Spirit Spring was the aggregation of countless spirits.
Even in the prosperous era, there were not many Spirit Springs. The True Monarch of the Eastern Sea was able to achieve his status not only because of his great strength, but also because of his luck.
“In the past few years, I have obtained many Divine Arts and experienced the vastness of Heaven and Earth. My accumulation should be enough. Breaking through right now is completely logical.”
Su Qin’s thoughts fluctuated, and a sense of urgency suddenly rose in his heart.
As the recovery of vitality continues to intensify, more and more powerhouses will appear, such as the overseas Martial Arts World and Ying State Monster Island; a secret place that has existed since the last prosperous era.
Su Qin was worried about accidents.
For example, the Demon Fox Race’s Matriarch Qingqiu Qingling. It seemed that Su Qin killed the opponent with just a punch.
But in fact, if the Matriarch of the Demon Fox Race were thousands of times stronger, Su Qin could hardly kill her with one punch.
“I need to keep getting stronger.”
“If I can reach the height of Buddha, any demons and monsters in the world will be suppressed under me.”
Su Qin closed his eyes again, the aura within his body continued to condense and shrink. The spirit spring turned into countless strands that poured into Su Qin’s body.
……
At the same time.
In the Eastern Sea’s edge.
The Dark Source Sect’s Mingyou and other overseas Major Sect Elders arrived.
“According to the information I got from the Dark Source Sect, the Cave Mansion of the True Monarch of the Eastern Sea is in this Sea Territory.”
Mingyou said.
“The Sea Territory here is vast, how would we know where the Cave Mansion of the True Monarch of the Eastern Sea is?” The Snow God Palace Elder Xueyu frowned.
The others also nodded slightly.
s
Indeed, the Eastern Sea was too big.
The Cave Mansion of the True Monarch must be enveloped by an Array, avoiding Divine Sense. Could it be that they need to search the entire Eastern Sea inch by inch?
If this was the case, even at their Legend Realm speed, it would take hundreds of years to search the entire Eastern Sea.
“Don’t worry.”
Mingyou glanced at the others and said indifferently: “I have a secret technique. As long as I get within one mile of the Cave Mansion of the True Monarch, I can lock onto its specific location.”
