CHAPTER 384: CHAPTERS 160-161 GREAT HARVEST (TWO-IN-ONE CHAPTER, REQUESTING MONTHLY TICKETS)_3

Back in the day, a single Demon Evil might yield only a few, perhaps a dozen, Slaughter Value points; a thousand was an astronomical figure. But nowadays, a thousand Slaughter Value points are not so difficult to collect, provided there are enough Demon Evils to slay.

Shen Changqing then recalled the previous battle. If not for the Eternal Alliance Master, those four medium-grade Demon Evils would have been no match for him. It was only the presence of the Eternal Alliance Master that compelled him to use Heavenly Thunder to slay his enemies. His aim had been to ensure none of them escaped. Unfortunately, while the Demon Evils were all killed, the Eternal Alliance Master still managed to flee.

If I could have slain the Eternal Alliance Master, the Eternal Alliance would surely have been thrown into chaos. It’s a pity he was so formidable; he managed to flee even under those circumstances. However, if I encounter him again, he won’t have another chance to escape! Shen Changqing’s lips curled into a cold smile.

That battle gave him a clear understanding of his own strength. Without a doubt, the Eternal Alliance Master’s comprehensive strength was at the level of a high-grade Demon Evil, equivalent to a King Rank Defender Envoy.

My true strength at that time, I figured, was probably a bit greater than his, but not by much. Even though I slew a medium-grade Demon Evil with a thunderous strike during the battle, I knew that was an outcome I’d achieved by disregarding my own injuries. In other words, if I hadn’t been certain that the panel upgrade could heal my wounds, adopting a more conservative approach would have made it impossible to achieve such a swift victory. Even after trading injuries for a kill, I wasn’t confident I could have withstood the Eternal Alliance Master and the remaining three Demon Evils. Therefore, I could be certain I was stronger than the Eternal Alliance Master, but not by a large margin. The combined strength of those four medium-grade Demon Evils was, at most, equivalent to a somewhat weaker high-grade Demon Evil. But things are different now.

Not only has my Divine Heaven Golden Body broken through to the sixth stage, but my Divine Soul has also fully formed, directly reaching the second stage. I can clearly feel that my strength, compared to when my Divine Heaven Golden Body was at the third stage, has more than doubled. If I were to face that previous situation again, I’m confident that, without needing to trade blow for blow, I could suppress all four Demon Evils and the Eternal Alliance Master.

If the Eternal Alliance Master is considered strong among high-grade Demon Evils, then with my current strength, I likely have few rivals among them. It wouldn’t be an empty boast to say I’m unbeatable at this level. Even if the Eternal Alliance Master is considered relatively weak within this realm, I have still reached the peak. Shen Changqing contemplated inwardly. One scenario suggests invincibility, the other merely reaching the peak of the current realm. There’s still a difference between the two. Regardless, one thing I am certain of is that my strength has ascended to another tier. From now on, unless a Great Demon or an even higher-level entity intervenes, no one should be able to trouble me. Possibly, even if a Great Demon were to act, they might not pose a fatal threat to me.

At this thought, Shen Changqing’s eyes flickered.

I’ve only witnessed the strength of a Great Demon once and have never truly fought one. It’s too early to draw conclusions. I’ll have to find an opportunity to test it properly in the future!

He had only witnessed Wang Mubai’s strength, never personally fought against him. Therefore, his assessment of how strong Great Demons are was merely conjecture.

However, based on the battle at Mountain-Breaking City, Shen Changqing was one hundred percent certain his current power was sufficient to dominate among high-grade Demon Evils.

After tidying up briefly, he left the room.

Outside in the courtyard, Tiankui, which had long been lying by the door, woke from its deep sleep upon hearing movement. Immediately after, a faint mental message was transmitted to Shen Changqing.

"Hungry... so hungry..."

Hungry? Looking at Tiankui before him, Shen Changqing realized that for the first time, he had accurately understood its meaning. Instantly, his expression turned peculiar. He was certain that while he could generally understand Tiankui’s meaning a few days ago, it had never been conveyed so clearly as it was now.

Could it be because of my Divine Soul? Shen Changqing immediately thought of his Divine Soul. A strong Divine Soul... that must be why I can clearly understand Tiankui’s meaning now. Looking at the creature, he became almost completely certain of this conjecture.

Then, Shen Changqing squeezed out a drop of his blood.

HUM—

As the drop of blood appeared, a dense and formidable aura of Heavenly Thunder permeated the air, accompanied by an immense pressure. Faced with this pressure, Tiankui’s eyes showed both desire and fear. It understood that swallowing this drop of blood would bring great benefits. However, with its current strength, forcibly ingesting it would likely result in a powerful backlash.

Soon, another message entered Shen Changqing’s mind from Tiankui.

"Are you saying the blood is too potent, and you can’t digest it at your current stage?" he asked, his eyebrow lifting slightly.

I had forgotten something. The further breakthrough of my Divine Heaven Golden Body has also made my own blood much stronger. Now, every drop of my blood is significantly more potent than before. If it were my Essence Blood, then even a Grandmaster Peak expert could potentially be suppressed by it.

Indeed, the gap between a Great Grandmaster and a Grandmaster is as wide as a chasm.
