Free Web NovelChapter 2170: Chapter 2171: Even Stronger! (Second Update)
A dozen internal cores, what kind of harvest is this?
I thought after the demon wave, I could rely on the cores to exchange more Military Merit Points to increase my strength. Now, it’s all for nothing.
Many people were unwilling to accept this result and searched repeatedly, but unfortunately, they still found nothing. There were only a few cores under the front city wall.
No one understood what happened. With so many demon internal cores, there should be at least ten thousand. They can’t just disappear into thin air.
Suspicion remains suspicion; no one knows the reason, and the mysterious disappearance of the cores has become a puzzle.
Although most people are unhappy, there’s nothing they can change.
Moreover, this is only occurring at the front city wall; the other two sides are basically normal, with just about the same number of cores obtained as yesterday.
Taichi, Stone Demon Lord, and Hongyuan Holy Son were naturally upset, their faces didn’t look good. It equated to a day’s effort wasted without any rewards; anyone would feel bad.
This kind of matter can’t be explained, so they could only swallow their grievances.
No one wanted to stay here, it became quite embarrassing.
Once everyone returned to the ancient city, the Beast God and a few others quietly came under the city wall, dug out the buried items according to Ye Qiu’s instructions, and quickly put them into the storage ring.
When the four returned to the room, they took them out and opened them, finding them filled with demon internal cores.
All four couldn’t help but laugh out loud. They understood why Taichi Holy Son and the others only found a few cores, it was surely Ye Qiu’s doing.
"This guy, well done!" Beast God laughed.
Luo Fu couldn’t help but clap his hands in joy: "They once teamed up against Brother Ye, now Ye Qiu has taken their cores as revenge. I hope next time, Brother Ye leaves them with nothing again."
Jin Shanshun and Qin Feng couldn’t help but snicker, truly their young master, always doing things so unexpectedly.
They were worried about Ye Qiu before, since they rushed over too late at the time, plus the demon wave erupted, making the battle results uncertain. Afterward, Taichi and Stone Demon Lord returned to the ancient city without Ye Qiu, making everyone think Ye Qiu was in grave danger.
Especially since a powerful being attacked Ye Qiu, they were even more uncertain of his situation.
They considered causing trouble for Taichi and others but ended up doing nothing, as they couldn’t take fatal actions in the ancient city, and those few were hard to deal with, leaving little opportunity.
The order keeper inside the ancient city set rules forbidding going out; they couldn’t even search for Ye Qiu.
Yet today, Ye Qiu suddenly sent them a message, though they couldn’t see Ye Qiu himself but could at least confirm he was still alive, joking around with them.
Despite not seeing Ye Qiu, since he messaged them, it indicates he’s safe, just not suitable to appear.
The four didn’t make a big fuss; just knowing Ye Qiu was alive was enough.
"This guy is always surprising. Since he contacted us, we don’t need to worry about him. I believe in him, he’ll turn danger into safety." Beast God said.
"So many Military Merit Points, it’s Brother Ye’s gift to us; we can use this to exchange for more points, making our strength stronger." Luo Fu said.
All four agreed.
In a cave in the cosmic abyss, the entire demon army returned to the depths.
Only then did Ye Qiu realize the demon wave erupted at night and ended during the day, lasting throughout the night.
He found a cave and went inside, starting to tally the day’s harvest.
When a large number of demon cores were taken out of the storage ring, Ye Qiu found the cave wasn’t big enough, so he expanded it a bit to take out all the cores.
The cave was filled with densely packed demon cores, each containing energy, especially among them, the majority were king-level demon cores, left behind after the death of each king abyss demon.
The cores were countless; Ye Qiu could only roughly estimate, saying at least one or two thousand.
He couldn’t wait any longer; absorbing and devouring more than a hundred king-level demon cores had already brought his demon body to the king level. With over ten thousand cores this time, to what extent would it reach, he couldn’t predict.
"It should be very strong." Ye Qiu muttered.
Only after devouring them would he know; without delay, Ye Qiu started stuffing demon cores into his mouth.
Crunch, crunch, crunch!
The demon cores were bitten into pieces and swallowed down his throat.
Soon, Ye Qiu’s body started to heat up, steaming, while he continued throwing demon cores into his mouth.
Woosh woosh...
Ye Qiu felt his entire body smoking, like a feeling of swallowing clouds and fog.
His skin turned red and hot, with a burning scorching sensation.
He dared not devour anymore; at this moment, the energy from the cores spread like a flood throughout his body, filling every part. He found himself beginning to shed skin, layers of skin decaying and regenerating, decaying, then regenerating.
His body evolved in a stronger direction.
When Ye Qiu felt the energy had been mostly absorbed, though the demon body’s power increased a notch, it was still within the Supreme Saint level, not reaching emperor-level.
Ye Qiu wasn’t anxious; no one can become obese in one bite, evolution should be gradual.
Anyway, he still had plenty of demon cores to absorb and devour.
After a break, Ye Qiu grabbed a handful of demon cores again, continuing to devour and refine.
The scorching sensation hit him once more.
That’s how Ye Qiu alternated between absorbing and pausing, continuing the cycle countless times, even ignoring time itself.
Until the demon cores piled in front of him rapidly diminished, and eventually disappeared, leaving Ye Qiu to finally stop completely.
Over ten thousand demon cores were all devoured and absorbed by Ye Qiu.
His transformation was massive.
What excited Ye Qiu the most was that his demon body’s color showed new changes, with a faint gold tint on the skin.
This was the skin color only emperor-level demons had!
Which means, Ye Qiu’s demon body has preliminarily reached emperor demon level.
How could Ye Qiu not be excited? It equated to heaven realm strength!
The power of the demon body already exceeded Ye Qiu’s previous strongest ability, even facing heaven realm great powers, he wouldn’t be unable to counter them.
Now, he’s equipped with some capital to contend against heaven realm.
Although he expected he might reach this step, when it truly happened, Ye Qiu’s mind couldn’t calm down for a long time.
It turns out that over ten thousand demon cores were highly effective, forcibly pushing him to the emperor level.
Ye Qiu clenched his fist, feeling the demon body’s power, and couldn’t help but laugh wildly.
The feeling right now is summed up in one word, awesome!
