Inside the mausoleum of Demon Emperor Xing Gu, Chen Zong stared blankly ahead.
About a dozen meters ahead, there was a small altar. It was round and had no support. It was completely black, and there was something floating in it. It was an irregular black crystal the size of a baby's fist.
Chen Zong felt that the black crystal looked familiar. He had seen it not long ago.
Demon Spirit!
It looked exactly like the Demon Spirit.
Could that be the Demon Spirit?
Chen Zong could not believe it. He was indeed desperate to get the Demonic Soul, whether it was to complete the deal with Di Jiu or to cultivate the Ancient God Armor-Refining Technique. However, when the Demonic Soul really appeared in front of him, and in a defenseless manner, Chen Zong could not believe it.
"Could it be an illusion?" Chen Zong could not help but guess.
Illusions were not rare. It was a projection of the real Demon Spirit. However, when Chen Zong observed it carefully, he felt that it was not an illusion. It was real.
Could it be that it was not the Demon Spirit?
After all, seeing the Demon Spirit all of a sudden was still hard for Chen Zong to believe.
What was the Demon Spirit?
That was something that could only be condensed by a Demon Emperor-level powerhouse. A Demon Soul was equivalent to a Demon Emperor, and there were not many Demon Emperor-level powerhouses in the Dark Sky Empire. Every Demon Soul was extremely precious.
Regardless of whether it was an illusion or something else, since it was suspected to be the Demon Spirit, he had to verify it.
Chen Zong instantly approached and reached out to grab the Demon Spirit. Mixed Yuan Heart Force condensed in his palm. When he approached the black crystal in an instant, he was blocked by an invisible wave.
Layers of waves spread from Chen Zong's palm, blocking Chen Zong's palm from moving forward and touching the black crystal. Chen Zong exerted force and increased his strength, but it was still blocked.
He retracted his palm and looked carefully. He found that he could not see anything at all. It was as if there was no obstruction.
He drew his sword and slashed. The sword light came out of the scabbard like a dragon coming out of the abyss. It was extremely agile and had a kind of dominance that came from the bones. It tore a sword mark in the void and slashed out directly. It was blocked by the invisible wave.
For a moment, the sword light was blocked.
Divine Firmament!
An extremely sharp sword burst forth, as if it had stolen all the brilliance in the world. Darkness descended, and only a ray of light shot out.
Block!
The sword was still blocked.
Primeval Chaos Primordial Chaos Heart tripled... Divine Firmament!
It was still blocked, but Chen Zong could clearly feel that the sword had indeed cut deeper into his body.
In that case, let's go with a fivefold burst.
The power of this sword was even more tyrannical, but it was still blocked.
The Ancient God Sword Armor. Chen Zong unleashed all of his strength and pushed it to the limit. It was ten times stronger than before.
Divine Firmament!
The radiance of this sword was indescribable. It was resplendent to the extreme, and there was no brilliance in the world that could compare to it.
With a slash of the sword, the void was completely torn apart. Chen Zong once again felt a blockage. As he slashed, the blockage seemed to be getting more and more intense. In the end, he felt as if he had broken free from all restraints and was free to go.
That layer of invisible resistance was sliced apart by this powerful sword strike.
The sword light rolled and directly wrapped around the black crystal, instantly dragging it in front of Chen Zong.
The moment Chen Zong touched it, he immediately felt an invisible impact. The impact was as violent as a tsunami, and it was about to break Chen Zong's Divine Intent and shatter his Divine Soul. However, Chen Zong's Divine Intent had been honed and tempered time and time again, and it had become very resilient. It resisted the impact of this terrifying invisible force.
"It is indeed the Demon Soul." After withstanding the sudden impact of the Divine Intent, Chen Zong's face turned slightly pale. He was a little surprised, but more than that, he was pleasantly surprised.
Demon Soul!
He never thought that the Demon Soul that he had been longing for would be in his hands so easily. At least, it was a hundred times easier than the Demon Soul that Bai Yi had obtained previously.
In order to obtain that Demon Soul, the three of them had used all their strength to defeat Zhui Ming Demon Emperor's Demonic Puppet Body. In the end, they had killed him and obtained the Demon Soul.
In view of this, Chen Zong had been prepared to pay a certain price to obtain the second Demon Soul, but now, it seemed to be unexpectedly easy.
No matter what, the Demon Soul was already in his hands.
Perhaps, he had obtained the Devil's Soul so easily because there was some conspiracy behind it. Perhaps, there was something hidden in the Devil's Soul. For example, when he wanted to obtain the inheritance, he was possessed. However, Chen Zong didn't care because he didn't need the inheritance in the Devil's Soul.
The purpose of the Demonic Cultivators to obtain the Inheritance in the Demon Soul was to obtain the Inheritance in it. Unfortunately, what Chen Zong needed was the Demon Soul itself, not the Inheritance in the Demon Soul.
"So, should I keep this Demon Soul first, or should I refine it first?" Chen Zong narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the black crystal in his hand. He felt the mysterious fluctuations contained in it and thought.
Without thinking too much, Chen Zong made a prompt decision to refine it.
This was because refining the Demon Soul would allow the Ancient God Sword Armor to be improved and become stronger, which would increase his own strength. The stronger his own strength was, the more secure his following actions would be.
With the Demon Soul in his hand, Chen Zong immediately operated the Ancient God Armor Refining Skill. A strong force burst out and instantly wrapped around the Demon Soul in Chen Zong's hand. The mysterious force penetrated the Demon Soul bit by bit, mobilizing the power in the Demon Soul and then guiding it to flow into Chen Zong's body and into the Ancient God Sword Armor. Chen Zong immediately felt that the Ancient God Sword Armor was being injected with a strong external force and was changing little by little.
Upgrade!
Upgrade!
While practicing the Ancient God Armor Refining Skill, Chen Zong was also constantly paying attention to all the movements around him and was on high alert.
Fortunately, the refining process did not encounter any interference. The Demonic Soul shrunk little by little, and its power was constantly being refined into the Ancient God Sword Armor. On the Ancient God Sword Armor, lines of runes slowly spread out. It was as if an invisible brush was slowly drawing on the Ancient God Sword Armor. With extremely skilled skills, it drew out a mysterious rune that had been tempered thousands of times and returned to its original state.
The original Ancient God Sword Armor was silver-gray in color, and its color was simple and restrained. However, the divine pattern outlined on it was pure silver. It was a somewhat shiny silver, as if it was a layer of flowing light.
As the bright silver Divine Inscriptions were outlined, traces of mysterious and ancient aura continuously spread out, permeating in all directions. Gradually, it filled the air, as if it was trying to isolate Chen Zong. This caused the light around Chen Zong to slowly distort, as if the light was shining into clear water.
The fluctuations of power contained in the aura steadily increased, becoming more and more astonishing.
As the black crystal in his hand shrank, Chen Zong suddenly felt a burst of power. The Demon Soul trembled, as if it wanted to break free from Chen Zong's hand.
It wanted to break free from the refining power of the Ancient God Armor Refining Skill, but it was powerless to resist. It could only struggle, and it was very sullen.
Finally, accompanied by a sharp cry full of resentment and unwillingness, it returned to silence after a few breaths. The Demon Soul was completely refined by the Ancient God Armor Refining Skill and integrated into the Ancient God Sword Armor.
The last stroke of the bright silver divine pattern on the Ancient God Sword Armor was completed, and it connected with the first stroke, forming a closed cycle. The divine pattern had an incomparably mysterious and profound aura, and it seemed to be a kind of totem. It made the Ancient God Sword Armor, which originally looked relatively ordinary, immediately become different.
In the next moment, the bright silver divine pattern gradually lit up and spread out like water waves, covering every part of the Ancient God Sword Armor. Chen Zong could feel that the appearance of the Ancient God Sword Armor on his body was changing little by little.
When the silver light faded, the new Ancient God Sword Armor appeared.
Its appearance had changed, and it did not look as simple as before. There were more lines and bulges on the head, shoulders, and joints, as if they were a kind of decoration, but they also emitted an extraordinary aura.
The previous Ancient God Sword Armor was simple, but now the Ancient God Sword Armor was not so simple. It was as if a piece of rough iron had been quenched into fine iron, or a piece of wood had been carved into a work of art. The changes were very obvious.
However, the changes in appearance were only secondary. The biggest change was the power.
Power was the foundation.
"Is this the Ancient God Sword Armor of the General Level?" Chen Zong carefully felt the changes in power in the Ancient God Sword Armor and was secretly shocked.
Strong!
A stronger power than before filled every part of his body, and Chen Zong was shocked. This power seemed to have directly raised him to another level, and he was more than twice as strong as before.
To put it simply, this was not just a simple increase in strength, but a leap in level. It was as if he had broken through some kind of boundary and reached a higher level of improvement.
"Could it be that the Ancient God Sword Armor has raised my strength from the Top Demon King Level to the Demon Emperor Level?" Chen Zong could not help but secretly guess.
Recalling the strength displayed by the Demon Emperor Zhui Ming, who had transformed into a Demon Puppet, Chen Zong felt that he was 100% confident that he could fight him head-on and not be defeated.
But at the same time, Chen Zong also felt that when the Ancient God Sword Armor was upgraded from the Soldier Level to the General Level, the Mixed Yuan Heart Force that was used to maintain the Ancient God Sword Armor doubled.
In other words, the time that the Mixed Yuan Heart Force could maintain the Ancient God Sword Armor would be shortened by more than half.
Although the time was shortened, it brought about a leap in strength. It was very cost-effective to go back and forth. However, Chen Zong still didn't know whether his current strength had reached the Demon Overlord level. He would only know if he fought with the Demon Overlord.
For a moment, Chen Zong's battle intent surged. He wanted to find a Demon Emperor and have a fierce battle.
After putting away the Ancient God Sword Armor, Chen Zong also felt that the strength of his Indestructible Body of the Universe had increased by about 30%. Without the Ancient God Sword Armor, his basic strength had increased by a little.
"In this way, I have a greater chance of fighting for the treasure of Demon Emperor Xing Gu." Chen Zong's eyes flashed. Not only did he want to fight for the treasure of Demon Emperor Xing Gu, but he also wanted to fight for the Demon Soul.
In the tomb of Demon Emperor Xing Gu, there might be a second Demon Soul. If there was one, he had to get it.
(The comparison of the strength between the top few on the Real Chaos Leaderboard and the Demigod Level was due to the negligence of the Dominator of the Six Paths. He did not consider it clearly, so there was a mistake. I'm sorry, but the setting should be the Real Chaos Leaderboard, Demon Emperor Level, and then Demigod Level.)
