[Congratulations, you have completed the Daily Task “Hunt down a Paper Puppet Demon.” 30 Demon Points have been granted.]
[Current Usable Demon Power: 86 Points.]
“Nice, I can upgrade another bloodline to Great Perfection.”
A look of joy flashed across Su Nan’s face.
After leaving the City God Temple, he found an empty spot and quickly pulled out a Physique Bloodline he had bought not long ago.
This was the bloodline of a demon called Giant God Ant, which primarily improves Strength.
Several minutes later, the blood fusion was complete.
With another expenditure of 80 Demon Points, Wang Nan’s third Demon Sutra is at Great Perfection!
The number of times he could foresee the future increased again, reaching as many as 4.8 times. He was virtually at a point where he couldn’t run out of uses.
“It would be great if I could always upgrade at this speed.” As the great power spread throughout his body, Su Nan broke into a smile.
Today alone, he had upgraded two bloodlines to Great Perfection.
This speed was beyond anyone else’s wildest dreams.
And now, on the Realm Rankings, there were only around twenty players who had reached the Spirit-level.
The gap between him and the other players was further widening.
However, it was evident that the ranking list starting from around the 20th position all the way up to the 200+ positions were all at Great Perfection with four Mortal-Level Demon Sutras.
All these people were currently stuck at the upgrade checkpoint; as long as they accumulated 4.0 Demon Points, they would quickly break through, and there would be an upsurge of Spirit Level players.
“Both Lang Thirteen and Wang Nan have Three Monster Techniques at Great Perfection. If I want to continue to boost these two roles, I need to find Ancient Demon Essence Blood as soon as possible.”
The Spirit-level Ancient Demon Blood in the Contribution Mall costed 6000 Contribution Points per unit. Even if he wanted to buy it, he couldn’t afford it.
Besides the Contribution Mall, the only way for him to get Ancient Demon Essence Blood was through Mainline Tasks.
Switching to his role as Zhang Yang, he looked at the task “The Legacy of the Dragon Turtle.”
The first part of “The Legacy of the Dragon Turtle” rewards a drop of Ancient Demon Essence Blood.
As this task was about to end in just over two days, he had to coordinate his schedules accordingly.
“According to my previous plan, to get into the Lake Heart Palace in White Water Lake, I must divert the White Water Demon King.”
“And to divert the White Water Demon King, I only need to hunt down a Xuan Level Demon under him.”
Su Nan’s thoughts turned as his gaze fell on Zhang Yang’s Daily Task “Avenge the Former Executioner Chief.”
Coincidentally, that demon called Purple Armor was one of White Water Demon King’s subordinates.
“You’re my target!”
Without any hesitation, he quickly headed towards the Dust Gazing Tower in the South City.
More than ten minutes later, he stood a few hundred meters away from the Dust Gazing Tower and began his foresight.
[You come to the Dust Gazing Tower. Because of your attack on the formation nodes of the Heavenly Dome Divine Prohibition, the demons suffered major losses. The number of demons in Tianyun City has greatly decreased, and your arrival goes unnoticed by the demons.]
[You enter the Dust Gazing Tower and start looking from floor to floor towards the top of the tower.]
[The Dust Gazing Tower has a total of twelve floors. One minute later, you come to the third floor of the tower. In this process, you do not find a single demon.]
[Two minutes later, you reach the sixth floor of the Dust Gazing Tower. There is still no demon here. You continue your search without halting.]
[Three minutes later, you reach the ninth floor of the Dust Gazing Tower, but you still find no demons.]
[End of first prediction. Continue?]
“Not a single demon? Could it be that the demons here were all killed by me by coincidence?” Su Nan furrowed his brows.
With the large number of demons attacking the two formation nodes, it wasn’t impossible that he had coincidentally killed all the demons here.
“Continue.”
[You know, the Dust Gazing Tower is the territory of a mid-Xuan-level demon. A major demon is hiding here, and you want to find it out.]
[One minute later, you finally reach the top of the Dust Gazing Tower. But even here, you find nothing, not even a single demon.]
[Dissatisfied, you continue your search from the top floor to the bottom. Two minutes later, you return to the eighth floor.]
[Three minutes later, you return to the fourth floor.]
[End of second prediction. Continue?]
“Why is there nothing? Could it be that the demon is also hiding? Su Nan frowned.
He did not continue his foresight and chose to reset and start over.
This time he was ruthless, directly attempting to force out the demon by burning the entire tower as he did last time.
But much to his disappointment, in his prediction, flames engulfed the whole Dust Gazing Tower, turning it into a Sea of Fire, but still, no demon appeared.
“It seems that the demon isn’t here after all,” Su Nan shook his head.
Without any other choice, he could only turn around and leave.
Instead of going back to the Demon Hunting Bureau, he turned towards Wutong Road in the North City.
Wutong Road and the four adjacent streets are relatively bustling within the entirety of Tianyun City. Now, this area had become his domain completely.
Back at that little courtyard.
The five demons, led by Old Goat, looked at Su Nan, who transformed into a Wolf Demon. They showed a respectful demeanor.
Turned out, Su Nan’s performance this time had completely subdued these few demons. In their eyes, Su Nan was no longer just a Spirit-level demon, but a Xuan-level demon!
“Master, have you leveled-up again? Or were hiding your realm before?” Eagle High asked. The other demons also noticed this issue with a puzzled look in their eyes.
Lang Thirteen’s third bloodline reaching Great Perfection meant that Su Nan was now at a late spirit-level stage.
It was only a short amount of time ago that he had advanced from early Spirit-level to late Spirit-level.
In the eyes of a few demons, normal cultivation could not achieve this. Only concealment of one’s realm could explain it.
If that was the case, then a new question arose.
If their master was hiding his power, then how could he have displayed such might during the attack on the Golden Rosy Clouds Tower?
But if he hadn’t been hiding his power, then how did their master improve so rapidly?
The demons were all curious.
Su Nan’s expression remained unchanged, but his heart gave a slight shiver.
Eagle High’s words had reminded him of something.
His power advanced too quickly, which made it easy for others to notice something wrong.
In the eyes of demons like Eagle High, he might have concealed his strength. But in front of the two demon kings, or even Hu Xiaotian, they would not think this way.
“I should find a way to conceal my realm.”
The Hiding Spirit Ring that Zhou Lingyin gave him previously could hide his realm. Unfortunately, it can only be used by mortal warriors, and it lost its effect once he reached the Spirit level.
Of course, Su Nan wouldn’t answer their question directly. Instead, he asked, “Do you know where that Purple Armor went?”
“Purple Armor? Master, are you referring to Lord Purple Armor? He was dispatched by the White Water Demon King to capture the head of the Demon Hunting Bureau,” replied Old Goat.
Did they dispatch him to capture me?
His heart skipped a beat. He hadn’t expected the demon he was looking for to come after him!
“The head of the Demon Hunting Bureau was too strong. Using only his mid-stage Spirit-level strength, he managed to kill hundreds of our fellow demon clans over a period of time. I fear that his strength is nearing yours, Master.”
“Furthermore, it is said that this Bureau Chief possesses an incredibly powerful flame. It was that flame that nearly annihilated all of our demon clans attacking the Martial King Temple’s formation!”
“The two Demon Kings suspect that the man who killed Bear Rock and the three Lords previously, is very likely the current Chief of the Demon Hunting Bureau. Hence, they each sent a Xuan-level lord to capture him.”
“White Water Demon King dispatched Lord Purple Armor, while our Green Wolf Demon King dispatched Lord Gou Lian. The latter, having lost several of his followers to the Chief previously, volunteered to go this time.”
They suspect me?
Hearing this, Su Nan was inwardly disappointed.
He had been prepared for this.
Given the strength he had displayed, it wouldn’t be implausible for him to kill a Xuan-level demon.
Moreover, several Xuan-level demons got slain after he came to Tianyun City, naturally, he was the most suspicious.
Knowing all he needed to know, Su Nan let the demons leave.
“There are only six hours left before the midnight game refresh and it takes exactly six hours to condense life essence blood. I should start with that next.”
Putting the hunt for Purple Armor aside, Su Nan decided to prioritize the condensation of life essence blood.
He ran the blood flow method through his mind a few times, ensuring he knew every step, then he started to drive his bloodline according to the method.
As his bloodline started moving, he could instantly feel that the strength of his spirit, energy, and mind was rapidly depleting.
If he didn’t replenish his vitality midway, two to three hours would be enough to completely consume the power of his divine soul and essence energy.
“Luckily, I still have three bottles of diluted Source of Life left. That should be enough for this time.”
With a focused mind, Su Nan started condensing his life essence blood earnestly.
This process was both long and tedious.
Thankfully, he wasn’t completely immobile during this process.
Multitasking, he began to condense his life essence blood while simultaneously examining two items that he took out.
They were two animal hides, which were the two torn pieces of the treasure map..
