"Haha, lost. You all lost. Only I won." A battle general was extremely excited.
"Unbelievable."
"I didn't lose unjustly."
"I didn't lose unjustly." The battle general who had placed his bet sighed.
Out of the dozen or so warlords who had placed their bets, most of them had placed their bets on the fifth level. Only one of them had thought that if he lost, so be it. However, this warlord, who only had a few merits, had placed his bets on the early sixth level. In the end, he had won.
That's right, Chen Zong, who walked out of the Devil Refining Altar, was at the early stage of the Sixth Level of the Mortal Realm.
From the early stage of the Fourth Tier of the Mortal Realm to the early stage of the Sixth Tier of the Mortal Realm in just a few days, this kind of improvement was extremely shocking. If they knew that Chen Zong's Mind Mystery Art was at the Ultimate Level, and that every increase in strength required, they would be even more shocked. This was because the same amount of strength was enough for other practitioners to reach the middle stage of the Sixth Tier, or even the late stage.
As soon as Chen Zong stepped out of the Demon Refining Platform, he was summoned by the First General, the Head of the Demon Slaying Division.
"Sixth level primary stage, this is beyond my expectations." The Chief Minister's tone rose and fell slightly with a hint of surprise. "Pull out your sword and attack me with all your might."
Chen Zong did not understand what the director wanted to do, but he did not resist.
The Demon Suppressing Sword was unsheathed, turning into a black bolt of lightning that tore through the sky. A sword mark as thick as a chopstick remained in the air.
Scar of Heaven!
This was Chen Zong's most powerful sword move. It was more suitable for him than the Space Splitter, and the burden on him was not as great.
Using the spirit energy of the early stage of the Sixth Level of the Mortal Realm, the strength of the Sixth Level of the Mortal Realm, and the powerful spirit energy of the Sixth Level of the Mortal Realm, he activated the Void Sword energy without holding back.
In terms of the power of the Formless Sword Force, it had already reached the peak of the Ninth Tier of the Extreme Human Realm who had practiced an Upper Class Spiritual Art.
Coupled with the momentum of the Third Level Sword and the force exertion technique of the Scar of Heaven, the power of this sword was far beyond that of an ordinary Extreme Ninth Tier Human Realm warrior.
Chen Zong was confident that even the Three Tigers of Wanzhong wouldn't be able to block his sword. Chen Zong was confident that even the Three Tigers of Wanzhong wouldn't be able to block his sword.
However, the sword that seemed to be able to split the heavens suddenly stopped. It was as if it had sunk into something and stopped moving.
Chen Zong saw a finger resting on the tip of the sword.
No matter how hard he tried, the Demon Slayer Sword was still unable to move forward. That finger was like a heavenly pillar.
Immediately, Chen Zong felt a trace of power, a very flexible power surging from the finger, penetrating the sword and reaching his arm. He couldn't help but step back.
"That's right, under the title of Emperor, no one can defeat him." The head secretary's tone carried a hint of admiration: "Even if it's a title of Emperor, he can still fight."
It had to be said that this evaluation was very high.
"The people of the Demon Slayers Division will gain more, but they will also have to bear more." The chief spoke again. "Since you're new to the Demon Slaying Division, I'll give you a relatively simple mission."
Chen Zong did not interrupt and listened quietly.
"Kill a hundred demons of the seventh to ninth level." The chief's words surprised Chen Zong.
Demons of the seventh to ninth level were equivalent to the seventh to ninth level of the Extreme Mortal Realm, but much stronger. And there were a hundred of them, not just one.
In order to kill a hundred low-grade Seventh Order to Ninth Order demonic creatures, one must enter the Earth Demonic Abyss. Moreover, it was impossible to find a hundred low-grade Seventh Order to Ninth Order demonic creatures in the first layer of the Earth Demonic Abyss. Even in the second layer, one might not be able to find one.
Only the third level of the Earth Demon Abyss would have enough demons to kill.
In other words, Chen Zong had to enter the second level at least. If he wanted to save time, he had to enter the third level.
It was a very dangerous thing to venture into the second or third level of the Earth Demon Abyss alone. Even an earth spirit realm cultivator would be in danger, because the Earth Demon Abyss was home to not only powerful demonic creatures, but also the demon race.
Demons were even more terrifying than demons.
This … this was a simple mission?
"Complete this mission and you'll receive a million merits." The chief's words made Chen Zong's heart pound.
A million merits!
That was amazing.
"Do you have any other questions?" the chief asked.
"Chief, are there any alchemists and swordsmiths in the Demon Slayers Division?" Chen Zong asked.
"Yes, you can go find them now." The chief's tone was as calm as ever.
The Demon Slayers Division was full of talents.
There were more than a dozen alchemists. The most brilliant alchemist was called Madman Han. Of course, this was not his real name. Chen Zong didn't know what his real name was.
"Speak." Madman Han's white hair looked like weeds, but his face was yellow and withered. He looked like a madman who didn't care about his appearance. His tone was hurried, and his face seemed to say, "I'm very busy, don't disturb me."
If it wasn't for the chief's orders, he wouldn't have bothered.
"Master, I have a Nine Blood Rainbow …" Chen Zong didn't finish his words.
"Take it out and let me have a look." Madman Han was slightly startled. He immediately interrupted Chen Zong's words and directly said.
Chen Zong didn't care about Madman Han's attitude. It was normal for capable people to have some eccentricities.
After taking out the Nine Blood Rainbow, Madman Han stretched out his hand and grabbed. Chen Zong didn't even have time to react before the Nine Blood Rainbow fell into Madman Han's hand. His speed was so swift that it caused Chen Zong to be extremely shocked in his heart.
But Madman Han was a Profound Heaven expert, so it wasn't surprising.
Madman Han looked carefully at the Nine Blood Rainbow in his hand and nodded. He seemed to be mumbling something, but Chen Zong couldn't hear it clearly.
"This Nine Blood Rainbow is very good and complete. I'll take it for three million merits," Madman Han said directly.
"Master, I'm looking for you to refine the Nine Blood Rainbow into a pill," Chen Zong replied directly.
"I'll take half of the one million merits," Madman Han said again.
"Ten percent." Chen Zong bargained.
"I'm not bargaining with you. I'll take half or you can take it." Madman Han handed the Nine Blood Rainbow over without hesitation.
Although the Nine Blood Rainbow Refinement was a top mid rank spirit medicine, Madman Han was a Sky Profound Realm expert. In terms of alchemy, he was even a Grandmaster. Who knew how many mid rank spirit medicines he had seen? He had even seen a few high rank spirit medicines. Thus, he didn't care that much.
If the Nine Blood Rainbow was a top upper-grade spiritual herb, Madman Han's reaction would be different.
One million merits for half of the pills. This price was undoubtedly high. Chen Zong felt a little helpless.
"Master, I don't have one million merits," Chen Zong said.
"You don't have to pay. I'll take half of the pills and guarantee ten pills," Madman Han said directly.
"Okay." Chen Zong also agreed.
"Come back in a month." Madman Han waved his hand and asked him to leave.
"I'm going out. I'm not sure if I'll be back in a month. Please keep it for me, master," Chen Zong said.
Asking Madman Han to make a promise was an insult to an alchemy grandmaster. Chen Zong didn't think Madman Han would lie and take his pills.
After settling the matter of refining the Nine Blood Rainbow, Chen Zong went to find a swordsmith.
There were more than a dozen blacksmiths in the Demon Slayers Department. Every one of them was talented, but only one of them was known to be unique in swordsmithing. That was Ouyang Qi.
"What kind of sword do you need?" Ouyang Qi was also very direct, but more gentle.
He chose the sword, and the sword chose him.
The sword Chen Zong needed the most was the combination of the Five Anatta Swords. It could display every aspect of the sword to the fullest.
Ouyang Qi didn't respond. Instead, he frowned and fell into deep thought.
Of course, forging the five swords was nothing difficult for Ouyang Qi. It was a piece of cake. However, gathering the characteristics of the five swords and fusing them into a single sword was very difficult.
All swords either focused on something or were all mediocre.
For example, speed and strength.
If they were light and thin, they would obviously be faster. If they were large and heavy, they would be stronger.
They were clearly the opposite.
"It's very difficult," Ouyang Qi finally said after a long while. Chen Zong couldn't help but feel rather disappointed.
"Master, when I was in the sect, I once heard an elder mention a supreme artifact … Refined Gold of a Thousand Refinements. May I ask what's so special about this Refined Gold of a Thousand Refinements?" Chen Zong changed the topic and inquired.
"Refined Gold of a Thousand Refinements!" Ouyang Qi was stunned at first, then he became surprised. "You actually know about Refined Gold of a Thousand Refinements … Refined Gold of a Thousand Refinements is indeed a supreme artifact. It's refined from a thousand precious ores and metals. It's extremely tough and indestructible. Even if it's damaged, it can repair itself. More importantly, spiritual artifacts forged from Refined Gold of a Thousand Refinements possess astonishing growth potential."
"Growth potential?" Chen Zong was a little confused.
"After any spiritual artifact is forged, its grade is fixed. Low-grade is low-grade, middle-grade is middle-grade, and high-grade is high-grade. If you want to improve its grade, you can only reforge it with better materials." Ouyang Qi spoke with assurance. "But a spiritual artifact forged from Refined Gold of a Thousand Refinements will automatically absorb the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth and slowly improve. If it's refined, it can also be nourished with one's own Spiritual Qi so that it can improve faster."
"If you can find a Blood Refining Stone and forge a spiritual artifact with Refined Gold of a Thousand Refinements, you can refine the spiritual artifact with a drop of blood and absorb it into your body. It'll be connected to your blood vessels and better nourish it." Ouyang Qi continued speaking. Suddenly, Ouyang Qi seemed to have thought of something. "If you can get the Illusory Demon Heart Crystal, perhaps you can forge a sword that meets your requirements."
"Illusory Demon Heart Crystal?" Chen Zong was puzzled.
"The Illusory Demon Heart Crystal is a magical treasure. It has amazing spirituality and can change into various shapes at will." Ouyang Qi said, "But I've never seen the Illusory Demon Heart Crystal before. I've only read about it in ancient books."
"Blood Refining Stone … Illusory Demon Heart Crystal …" Chen Zong memorized it and asked Ouyang Qi about the characteristics of these two items.
Maybe he would encounter them in the future.
"Thank you, Master." Chen Zong cupped his hands and thanked him sincerely.
"You're welcome. If you can find Refined Gold of a Thousand Refinements, Blood Refining Stone, or Illusory Demon Heart Crystal in the past, let me see it." Ouyang Qi smiled. "I can also forge a sword for you for free."
"Thank you, Master." Chen Zong smiled.
Master Ouyang Qi's temperament was indeed much better than Madman Han's.
