I Secretly Develop Myself In The Demon World

Chapter 852: Chapter 444 Try_2

“`

It was evident that in order to break through to Saint Level as soon as possible, his avatar no longer cared about the exposure of his identity.

“Since the avatar is going all out, I, as the true body, can’t afford to be idle either,”

He exited the forum and glanced at the time. Now that night had fallen in reality, the game world was the opposite, with a new day just beginning — an excellent opportunity to cultivate the Great Sun Golden Body Scripture!

“I wonder if those two guys are still watching me?”

The panel appeared before his eyes, and Su Nan looked to foresee.

The foreknowledge information flickered, and soon, the results were in; as expected, it would be safe for him to enter the game next.

“What a pity. If they had continued to watch over me, maybe I could have hunted down another one,” Su Nan felt somewhat regretful. This was indeed the time he was most hopeful to be “camped” since playing the game.

Over ten minutes later,

At the summit of a mountain in the Divine Heavenly Realm, Su Nan predicted again, confirming that there would be no issues in the short term, and then he brought out the array disk to induce the Sun’s Fire.

The array disk was activated, and the Sun’s Fire was quickly drawn in.

The third level of the Great Sun Golden Body Scripture required cultivating the Five Viscera, which was arguably the most vulnerable part of the human body. The Sun’s Fire was drawn in and, following his breathing, entered his body through his mouth and nose.

Instantly, Su Nan’s face turned pale and his body shook violently, nearly collapsing to the ground.

“Li Fire Essence!”

This was his first time cultivating the Five Viscera, which were so fragile that they couldn’t withstand the burning of the Sun’s Fire. Having no choice, and not daring to persist forcefully, he immediately called upon the Li Fire Essence.

The Li Fire Essence was no stranger to aiding Su Nan and knew what to do. As it pulsed within him, suddenly, the Sun’s Fire that had entered his body was drawn to it, with most of it being consumed by the Li Fire Essence.

By reducing the Sun’s Fire, the difficulty of the cultivation was lowered; naturally, this also lessened the intensity of the cultivation. To achieve the same cultivation effect, more time would be required.

But relative to bearing lesser injuries and reducing the pain by dozens of times, this was a minor setback.

Time was something he had plenty of right now.

While he was cultivating the Great Sun Golden Body Scripture,

In Dongchen State, an attempt related to the fate of the Human tribe was about to begin.

In the Great Yu Imperial City, just three days earlier, a Demon Crisis had ensued, forcing countless people to evacuate. They had thought that once the demon beasts were dealt with, there would finally be a period of stability.

No one expected that, just a short three days later, the Imperial City of the Great Yu Dynasty, the largest ancient Human city in Dongchen State, would enter a state of martial law again.

“What on earth has happened? Why are we under martial law again so suddenly?”

Many people who were unaware of the truth were filled with curiosity. Compared to last time, they weren’t being forced to move out, but they had been ordered to refrain from leaving their residences.

Peering out through their windows onto the streets, they saw troops made up of martial artists patrolling, while the Powerful Persons from the Three Sects and Six Religions gathered, and numerous King-level Powerhouses were on standby in the sky.

In a courtyard deep within the Dayu Imperial Palace, more than twenty old men and women had convened.

All of these individuals were of emperor-level!

Apart from the three peak emperors of the Great Yu Dynasty, the emperor-level powerhouses from the Three Sects and Six Religions were all present, with even more assembled here than last time when facing the peak emperor-level demon beast!

“Elder Zhu, are you really going to attempt it now? You’ve only had that drop of essence and blood for three days; isn’t it a bit hasty to try for a breakthrough now?”

“If the breakthrough attempt fails, the consequences would be unbearable to contemplate. Our Human tribe is already at a disadvantage compared to the demon clan, if something were to happen to you, how would we continue to resist the demon clan?”

Many people looked to the gray-robed old man, who was previously a peak emperor-level figure, trying to persuade him to reconsider.

They clearly understood that the reason the elder chose to attempt a breakthrough now was not because he was fully confident, but because of the demon clan.

The Path of Bloodline had been considered a dead end since Ancient Times, with peak emperor-level being the limit, and no one had ever managed to break through to the Saint Level.

Over the years, many from the Human tribe had tried, but the outcomes had all ended in failure, with none able to defy destiny.

Although after many attempts by their predecessors, they had found the most likely path to success, it was after all just speculation.

In such a situation, even with thorough preparations, no one dared to claim a high degree of confidence, let alone the elder who had only acquired the essence and blood three days ago and had no time to prepare.

The black-robed elder known as Zhu shook his head: “We can’t wait any longer. Success or not, we must try,” he said.

The elder’s attitude was resolute, showing no hint of backing down.

He was well aware of what his attempt to break through signified; success meant survival!

“`

Seeing him like this, everyone knew that their words would have no effect, so they silently sighed and didn’t try to persuade him any further. They could only silently pray.

Among the three peak emperor-level elders, the one in white said, “Since Elder Zhu, you have made up your mind, then I shall be the first here to congratulate you on becoming the first Saint of the human race!”

Another peak emperor-level elder nodded and said, “Elder Zhu, rest assured and proceed with your breakthrough. Even if the demon saint from the demon clan comes, I will risk my life to buy you time!”

“Don’t worry! I will definitely succeed this time!”

The elder took out the saint-level blood essence, his eyes revealing a resolute determination.

“Alright, you all should leave now. I’m going to begin!”

The crowd exchanged glances, said no more, and solemnly retreated.

The elder took a deep breath and quietly adjusted his state.

After a while, the elder made his move.

He looked at the essence and blood in his hand, but unlike fusing other blood essences, he didn’t swallow it. Instead, he raised his palm and gently sliced through the center of it with his other hand.

Instantly, a long cut appeared on the elder’s palm.

The cut was deep, and fresh blood quickly flowed out from it. At the same time, the elder’s powerful physique started to heal the wound rapidly.

But before the wound could heal, the elder suddenly pressed the grape-sized, crystalized demon saint essence blood forcefully into the open cut.

The essence blood entered the wound without any immediate abnormalities, and the elder’s hand healed completely under the influence of his powerful body.

However, at the moment the wound healed, everyone saw the elder’s hand come to life, with veins bulging like wriggling earthworms.

…

Ten Thousand Demon Ridge.

As the leading clan of Ten Thousand Demon Ridge, the Silver Dragon Clan was celebrating today. It was a hubbub of activity as all of demonkind came to congratulate, and the reason was that their ancestor had successfully made a breakthrough to become the second demon saint of Ten Thousand Demon Ridge!

The entire Ten Thousand Demon Ridge was in an uproar. Three hundred demon clans, whether they were Demon Kings or Demonic Emperors, all came to offer their congratulations.

However, it was at this moment that a Silver Dragon Clan member rushed to report: “Ancestor, we have just received news that an old peak emperor-level expert of the human race is also planning a breakthrough. Should we go and stop him?”

A peak emperor-level human expert is preparing for a breakthrough too?

Upon hearing this, the other powerful individuals who had come to celebrate were stunned and then looked toward the Silver Dragon Clan’s demon saint.

At the main seat sat an old man who, despite appearing extremely aged as if about to pass away, exuded the vigor of his prime.

The elder maintained a calm expression and said placidly, “Stop him? Why? If that old fool wants to die, we might as well grant his wish.”

“Dreaming of making a breakthrough after merging our demon clan’s bloodline? Daydreaming.”

…

[Would you like to spend 300 Demon Power to accelerate the progress of the Great Sun Golden Body Scripture by 10%?]

“Yes!”

In the Divine Heavenly Realm, after cultivating for several hours, Su Nan finally completed his cultivation task for the day.

Two hundred points of Demon Power were spent, and the progress of the Great Sun Golden Body Scripture on the panel increased by 10%.

But what made him frown was that even with this 10% increase, the total progress of this cultivation session only increased by 11%, which meant that if it weren’t for this last 10% boost, he would have only made 1% progress in this session!

Keep in mind that previously, whether on the first or second level, each cultivation session would allow for a 3% increase in progress. Yet now, it had slowed down by threefold!

“An increase of 1% is still an increase. I don’t depend on such a minor progression in my cultivation,” Su Nan shook his head.

As long as the increase of 10% every session remained unchanged, it just meant he’d have to cultivate for two more days.

Looking at the Demon Power, yesterday he had 385 points, and now, even after spending three hundred points of Demon Power, he still had 235 points left on the panel.

This was partly thanks to his avatar and partly because he had hunted down that Celestial Progeny powerhouse before.

“I wonder if that person from the Great Yu Dynasty succeeded?”

Without waiting for his wounds to heal, Su Nan exited the Divine Heavenly Realm.
