Chapter 436: Chapter 361: Epic Demon Blade Chapter 436: Chapter 361: Epic Demon Blade “Wu Manager, the envoys have returned, and it seems they have repelled the enemy!” reported a supervisor in charge of investigating the situation as he rejoined the team.
“Oh?”
Wu Jianghao was delighted, looking into the distant sky. Sure enough, it wasn’t long before he saw Su Yuan and the others rapidly approaching.
Qiong Ying also looked towards the sky’s edge, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
“Did they settle it…”
In Qiong Ying’s view, that black-haired youth from earlier was quite extraordinary. Before leaving, she had felt another presence, never expecting that Su Yuan and the others would actually handle it.
“It’s a pity I didn’t get to see the specifics of the battle.”
Qiong Ying shook her head slightly and turned to look at a certain cage nearby.
The middle-aged man Liu Chengcheng was no longer as terrified, but his face was still pale, and the worry in his eyes hadn’t diminished at all.
“He seems to be someone in a high position. That star-robed youth from the north wants to kill him to silence him. It seems there’s some collusion involved…”
Qiong Ying was pondering this when Su Yuan and the others landed.
Wu Jianghao and the others saw that Bailie was after Liu Chengcheng.
However, Xiong Chunyang only just found out and stormed over to Liu Chengcheng, angrily shouting, “It’s because of you that Grandpa Xiong got so seriously injured and almost lost his life. Damn it!”
Xiong Chunyang, in a fit of rage, slapped the newly condensed Solid Rock Cage, leaving a large handprint.
It was clear that Xiong Chunyang wanted to beat him up.
But Wu Jianghao and Tang Jiao quickly stepped forward to stop him.
Although there was undoubtedly some issue behind this person, it was an affair of Yanluo Country. Their task was merely to extradite the prisoner to Yanluo Country.
Lin Chongyun said, “Since the opponent has fled, let’s continue on our way, Su Yuan, what do you think?”
Xiong Chunyang and Tang Jiao also looked over.
Seeing their expressions, Wu Jianghao knew that in the recent battle, Su Yuan must have displayed strength that convinced everyone.
“Yes, let’s proceed normally.”
Su Yuan replied casually, but his thoughts were on the Demon-controlling God Demon Saber in his hand.
Feeling the faint joy emanating from the saber, Su Yuan, as the bound Imperial Master of the blade, immediately conveyed his consciousness to let it evolve on its own.
A burst of eerie red light flowed from the saber, and waves of mysterious energy quickly rose!
Seeing this, Su Yuan’s mind stirred, and he quickly stored the Demon-controlling God Demon Saber back into his internal Star Sea to avoid drawing attention.
After observing it in the Star Sea for a while, Su Yuan saw that the saber’s evolution seemed to require some time, so he immersed his mind into the Qingming Realm.
“Oh? It’s much better than expected…”
In the Qingming Realm, except for several twisted holes of varying sizes at the edges, everything else, including the Bamboo Sea, was untouched by Bailie.
Su Yuan had mentally prepared for the Bamboo Sea to be destroyed, but Bailie didn’t even bother to destroy it as a form of revenge…
“This person is indeed quite unusual…”
Recalling the scene when Bailie departed, Su Yuan had a premonition that he would encounter him again in the future.
Or rather, he would encounter the Twelve Palace Star Envoys!
The group continued their journey, passing through Yunze Valley before entering the plains, facing no further obstacles along the way.
A day later, as dusk approached.
Outside Stone Artifact City, Su Yuan and the others met the Yanluo Country team who had come to meet them.
Su Yuan and the others were the muscle, dealing with these people was naturally left to Wu Jianghao.
After accompanying the team to Stone Artifact City at the southernmost edge of Yanluo Country and completing the handover, this mission officially ended.
As for the follow-up, the prisoners still needed to be transferred within Yanluo Country, which was not Su Yuan and the others’ responsibility.
At this time, Su Yuan and the others received a message on their talismans.
“Rest in Stone Artifact City for one night, I have already arrived.” It was a message from Xu Fengtian.
Su Yuan was not surprised at all, having already seen Xu Fengtian and Wang Xu.
“This Xu Envoy really has been following us!” Xiong Chunyang smacked his lips.
Lin Chongyun asked, “Su Yuan, what do you think?”
Tang Jiao also looked over.
Su Yuan said, “Let’s find a hotel to stay in for the night.”
Lin Chongyun and the others nodded.
At this moment, Wu Jianghao approached and said, “It’s truly thanks to the envoys this time.”
Wu Jianghao knew that this extradition was mainly a task prepared for these quasi-Sky Patrol Special Envoys, which was why there were so many twists and turns.
However, Wu Jianghao was also grateful that these lords were reliable, did not flee at the sight of trouble, and the final escort had two dead and two injured. This outcome was completely acceptable.
Otherwise, such a cross-border escort would either go smoothly or end in total annihilation!
Additionally, with the mission completed and Su Yuan and the others about to become Special Envoys, Wu Jianghao was eager to maintain good relations.
Su Yuan said, “Wu Manager, we’ll take our leave now.”
“Alright, safe travels, envoys. When there’s a chance to visit North Pole City again, let me treat you to drinks and meat.”
Wu Jianghao still had to handle the aftermath of the transfer and did not insist on prolonging their stay.
Su Yuan nodded and, along with Lin Chongyun and the others, found a rather luxurious hotel in Stone Artifact City.
After days of rushing with constant twists and turns, it was time to rest. They were not short on money, so there was no need to be frugal.
…
A quiet night passed, and the next morning.
Su Yuan woke up early and began his Star Power cultivation.
At that moment, he sensed something and suddenly opened his eyes.
“Has the evolution completed?”
Su Yuan spread his hands, and as the red glow flowed, a demonic crimson long saber appeared before him.
Though it looked almost the same as before, the moment Su Yuan made contact with it, he sensed that it had undergone a tremendous transformation.
A feeling of deep connection surged, and Su Yuan knew that the Demon-controlling God Demon Saber had been reborn with spirituality, reaching the Epic level!
Grasping the Demon-controlling God Demon Saber, the various mysteries of the blade were almost instantly mastered by Su Yuan due to its newly born spirituality.
“Body Outside Avatar?!” Su Yuan’s pupils constricted.
After reaching Epic, the Demon-controlling God Demon Saber had not awakened any other new abilities. However, the previous “Demon Soul Avatar” had been further enhanced!
Previously, the Demon Soul Avatar could last for ten minutes and had a one-day cooldown.
But now, it could create a long-lasting Demon Soul Avatar, a true Body Outside Avatar!
Looking at the long saber in his hand, Su Yuan’s mind entered the Qingming Realm.
Su Yuan flicked the blade. “Demon Soul!”
Instantly, demon power surged on the blade, red light flowed, and countless crimson threads shot out, weaving into a red cocoon before him.
After a while, the red cocoon broke open, and a Demon Soul Avatar with glowing eyes and even greater spirituality stepped out.
Though it looked no different from the previous Demon Soul Avatar, Su Yuan knew that this avatar had almost no time limit!
However, this avatar was currently just an empty “shell” with a realm.
To enrich it…
Su Yuan placed his hand on the avatar’s shoulder, slightly closing his eyes. The blue glow of Star Dust flowed into the Demon Soul Avatar through his arm.
In Su Yuan’s Star Sea, the skills [Steel Flame Finger], [Gray Flame Strike], [Hellfire], and [Flame Sky Fire Control Technique] dimmed…
And in the core of the Demon Soul Avatar, semi-transparent Star Cards appeared one by one, including [Steel Flame Finger] and [Gray Flame Strike].
That wasn’t all. As Su Yuan’s mind moved, the Divine Fire Mark in his Star Sea also dimmed. In the core of the Demon Soul Avatar, a dark, mysterious Divine Fire Mark appeared!
Su Yuan ordered, “Try it out.”
“Yes.”
The Demon Soul Avatar nodded and then walked to the side, successively displaying Steel Flame Finger, Gray Flame Strike, Hellfire, and Void Evil Manifesting Saints!
Su Yuan’s eyes gleamed, “Excellent!”
“Pukchee pukchee (Impressive, impressive)!” Ruan Ruan also shouted in admiration.
Though these skills could be performed by the previous Demon Soul Avatar, even including Instant Movement and Space Cut.
The previous Demon Soul Avatar could only last ten minutes.
Now, this Demon Soul Avatar could exist indefinitely!
That was the newly evolved ability of the Demon-controlling God Demon Saber, creating a Demon Soul Avatar that fully inherited the body’s realm and passive abilities and could allow the Imperial Master to “lend” skills to the Demon Soul Avatar.
Of course, the Power of Soul was not transferable.
Seemingly separating from his skills, weakening himself, but it was not actually the case.
The condition where both the body and the avatar possessed all skills simultaneously, albeit still with a time limit, still existed. Su Yuan thought for a moment and named this state “Complete Form.”
Additionally, Su Yuan could retrieve all skills lent to the Demon Soul Avatar at any time.
Whether in combat or needing extra manpower, a long-lasting Demon Soul Avatar was quite useful for Su Yuan.
Especially for “Hunting Stardust”!
“The Demon-controlling God Demon Saber can continue to grow and can be used indefinitely, so I can plan accordingly…”
Su Yuan believed the appearance of this trait of the Demon-controlling God Demon Saber came at the perfect moment.
He could take this opportunity to separate his current methods into two more specialized systems and reconstruct them.
First, a spatial system centered around Soul Cards and Power of Soul.
Second, an elemental system centered around Divine Fire and potentially Divine Wind and Divine Thunder in the future.
For an average person, achieving this would be challenging, especially with the limited number of skill slots.
Even with enough skill slots, it would take significant effort to level up those skills.
But for Su Yuan, these were not major issues…
At this moment, Su Yuan gave all his fire skills to the Demon Soul Avatar except for Great Sun Burning Body Technique.
“Without fire skills, I realize my spatial skills still lack many aspects, and also, the usage of the Power of Soul…”
Through his recent battle with Bailie, Su Yuan became more aware of the importance of the Power of Soul.
“Besides enhancing meditation, I need to further explore the power of the Qingming Realm…”
After some contemplation, Su Yuan turned his attention to the Demon-controlling God Demon Saber’s new demon-slaying progress.
[Demon-slaying Progress (Epic Second Rank): 50 Radiant Moon Level Star Beasts, 1 Burning Sun Level Star Beast]
“As expected, I can’t advance directly to the Legendary Stage.”
Having been Epic First Rank before evolution, evolving to at least the Second Rank was understandable.
However, this leap from Epic to Legendary was quite significant…
A Legendary Star Device was a treasure possessed by the top experts on Blue Sea Star.
Su Yuan did not feel it was a loss.
Reaching Epic Second Rank required slaying 50 Radiant Moon Level Star Beasts and 1 Burning Sun Level Star Beast.
Even if it could directly reach the Legendary Stage, it would likely require slaying King-level Star Beasts!
Given his current strength, who knew how long it would take…
With Epic Second Rank, it seemed that when nearing the Burning Sun Level, he could achieve the demon-slaying progress.
At that time, the abilities of the Demon-controlling God Demon Saber and the Demon Soul Avatar would likely be significantly enhanced, resulting in smoother growth, which was favorable for Su Yuan.
