Chapter 1469: Chapter 1056: You Finally Arrived (Part 2)

The ability of the inverted scales is average, with a range similar to Thunder Fury, though not as lethal. However, the scales that fly out are sharp as knives, with strong penetration and density, making them difficult to fend off. Of course, this is Magic, not actually throwing the scales from the body.

"Not bad, the Skills are all practical, but the Level is too low now." He was a bit troubled, looking down at his sharp claws, sighing, "But this Demon Body is covered with a polluted aura, although it can be restrained without leaking, when using Skills it will inevitably be contaminated. In normal days can’t really use it, so how to level up?"

Can’t just wait for the system to reward Skill Upgrade Cards.

Recently needed to use Ice Flame, so upgraded it first, the Earth Spirit Flame still hasn’t been used.

Fiery Evil Demon Monarch didn’t quite understand, was greatly shocked, his mind full of questions, "Scrubbing what? Wait, where did you get the strength to cast spells? Wasn’t my devil orb purified by you?"

The entire purified Demon Body, without any nourishing polluted aura, where the hell did the power come to perform?

He couldn’t figure it out, the previous idea of going easy on the other, trying to use remaining resentment for Possession, didn’t dare make any move.

This guy is too peculiar. His own soul scattered, only a wisp of resentment remains, won’t act unless absolutely sure of success!

He has to pretend to be harmless, lying in wait until the opponent shows a flaw to replace them!

"Forget it, better not to Fuse yet, that piece of Exoskeleton equipment, though cobbled together, is practical and worry-free regarding pollution concerns. This set, albeit good, can only be used in specific circumstances." Jiang Yuan didn’t know of Fiery Evil Demon Monarch’s lingering resentment planning for Possession, and how a recent attempt again deterred him from rash action.

After much deliberation, better to keep this set of equipment for now, and not rush the Fusion until sure the other set is obsolete.

But Purifying the remains of war is a priority, the sooner the better, he wants to go further up, see where this branch of the World Tree ultimately extends.

So, Jiang Yuan took out the Mutated Skull, asking, "I gave you two days, is the Refining done?"

The system added points directly, but when it got here, it still needed some time.

"Almost, does the master want me to continue consuming resentment, or Fuse with the Outer Heaven Demon’s skull?" Since becoming powerful by consuming more resentment, it’s become sly, even addressing the master fluently.

Jiang Yuan couldn’t help but laugh, "Giving you a special session. Otherwise, within that skull, there’s still a trace of Outer Heaven Demon’s resentment; should your power be insufficient, you might be consumed by it."

The Mutated Skull shivered, the remaining Heavenly Demon resentment, how much resentment must I consume to compare with it? To survive, to become strong, I must devour it...

Beyond that, it dare not think further, only feeling its future as bleak as the polluted aura on the war remnants.

In earlier attempts with new equipment and supporting new Skills, Jiang Yuan shattered one-third of the Illusion Realm swirls, now turned into dust that can no longer gather, he needs to find a place with swirls to exploit.

"Look how good I am to you, putting so much effort into giving you a meal." Wearing a piecemeal version of the Exoskeleton equipment, Jiang Yuan smashed around in the dining filled Illusion Realm, panting, "You eat quickly, grow swiftly, seize the opportunity to consume that guy, and you’ll be the most formidable Demon Monarch."

The Mutated Skull’s voice quivered with excitement, "Thank you, master! Master is the best!"

There, another learned to blow rainbow farts, but failed to master it.

After smashing apart two Illusion Realms, the Mutated Skull suddenly burped, "Master... I can’t eat anymore."

"Such a small appetite?" Jiang Yuan frowned, the resentment in two Illusion Realms added 300 in total, attack power +1500, coupled with its previous base, the Mutated Skull’s single input attack power now +8500!

He naturally hoped it could go further, someday wearing the piecemeal version of the Exoskeleton suit, a punch delivering tens of thousands in attack power would be gratifying.

Unexpectedly, the Mutated Skull trembled, "No, master, it’s my limited talent... seems I’ve reached my limit."

"Are you sure?"

"Sure." It was extremely arrogant, and in answering couldn’t help but blame itself for not being worthy?

Endless power sources, yet its ability is capped, unable to absorb any more.

Jiang Yuan carefully observed the huge skull, recalling its origin, soul of the Ghost Cultivator Li Ming, cleaved and discarded in a mass grave. Because of consuming a large amount of violent resentment forming its own climate, Cultivation becoming a Ghost Fiend.

No matter the mutation, prowess, it’s still based on a mortal skull, its potential indeed limited, achieving its current status is already remarkable.

"Then refine the resentment you’ve consumed; when the time is ripe, during Fusion with the Outer Heaven Demon skull, I’ll find a way to protect you."

"Thank you for your benevolence, master!" The Mutated Skull sighed slightly in relief.

The inherent ability is here, unable to advance any further. The master’s willingness to protect, in the worst scenario, complete demise; if victorious, highly rewarding!

Since no need for a special session within an Illusion Realm, Jiang Yuan stored the skull away.

One-key switch to the Fiery Evil Demon Monarch set, consecutively releasing several new Skills, completely shattering all the Illusion Realms on the war remnants. This way, the Purification squad can focus purely on performing the Purification Technique.

In the following days, Jiang Yuan led the team to vigorously attack the war remnants.

Apart from delivering gifts to Little Elf You Meng daily, directing the Conch Island fleet to depart and fulfill Floating Market’s public orders, all other business was left unattended.

The pollution aura was fluid, no matter how robust the Purification Technique, burnishing a part, immediately replaced by adjacent black mist. Luckily the source was eradicated, the black mist over the war remnants became lighter, the sky brighter, heaps of surrounding ruins more distinct.

[War remnants have been completely purified, may be taken into the Celestial Palace Holy Realm]

[Prepare sufficient materials to repair ruins atop the war remnants, obtaining Celestial Realm·Sun Palace]

Ah? Can take them away already?

Jiang Yuan looked up, a small round platform where light spilled down above, seemingly lush from afar, yet unknown what’s there.

He thought it’d require repairing all the ruins to take them away, which could take indefinitely long. Upon learning he could take them away now, repair later, he quickly had Yan Xuan lead everyone back to prepare a victory feast.

Impatiently, he clicked to integrate into the Celestial Palace Holy Realm, then reversed it to take in the lands his avatars swept previously.

"Final BOSS, here I come!" Jiang Yuan thought, since it’s the last stop, and can repel the war remnants underneath, the round platform certainly is no mundane item.

Along the increasingly sturdy branch, he climbed step by step upward.

The further he ventured, the more perplexed he felt— the round platform appeared exceedingly simplistic, upon closer inspection, actually a half dirt sphere. The surface relatively smooth, lacking traces of polishing, the system displaying no information.

No protective barrier above, only rich green plants densely covering it, a faint smell of Medicinal Incense noticed.

The dirt sphere wasn’t large, visibly less than a hundred meters in diameter.

The staircase formed by the branches extended beside the green plantation, showing no sign of a door or opening.

"Strange, what is this place? Doesn’t seem polluted." Muttering to himself, Jiang Yuan cautiously parted the greenery, surprisingly discovering they were closely intertwined, all excellent Spirit Medicines over a thousand, even ten thousand years old!

So many types, such amounts, if gathered into a Storage Bag, the sleeping Vermilion Bird, the injured Lord Sang need not worry about the Ninth Grade Elixir!

But before clarifying the situation, he dared not act rashly.

Should they belong to someone, taking them recklessly amounts to theft, no?

"Creak creak~"

Gently parting the obstructing Spirit Medicines, Jiang Yuan kicked aside with his toes to avoid rooting them, cautiously advancing slowed as expected.

Thus, nearing the center most gleaming point, surprisingly fewer Spirit Medicines, speeding forward.

Parted the final curtain of entangled greenery, he finally reached the center point, from afar he saw a person seated cross-legged on the earthen platform!

"You’ve finally arrived." The person sensed an outsider entering, slowly opened their eyes.

With a faint smile, said, "Since you entered below, those Ghost Realm fragments blocked by World Tree branches, I’ve been waiting for you to reach this day. Fortunately, it didn’t take long, and you’ve smoothly purified those war remnants, testament to your impressive strength."
