One Pound Meat, One More Attribute Point

Chapter 558: 460: The Grace of Support, The Demonized Humans

"My people didn’t get the news of a large-scale arrival of the Demon Descendants. What about you?" Su Heng asked.

Ji Huaxi shook her head slightly, somewhat apologetically, "These days, I’ve been staying in the Mythical Battlefield, and indeed, I’ve been negligent on this matter."

"I will start investigating immediately after things here are wrapped up," Ji Huaxi continued, "Once there’s any progress, I will take the initiative to send someone to notify you."

"Alright." Su Heng nodded.

Seeing that Ji Huaxi was completely exhausted, he said, "However, there’s no need to be too hard on yourself regarding this matter. Regardless of the Demon Descendants’ schemes or devious plots, they are of no avail before an absolute gap in strength."

"I understand." Ji Huaxi’s lips curled up slightly as she smiled at Su Heng.

Su Heng’s gaze then shifted and landed on King Qingyang beside him. The two had known each other for a long time, and with King Qingyang having mentioned several times that he was about to make a breakthrough. Upon meeting again, Su Heng immediately noticed the earth-shaking change in King Qingyang’s aura. A smile appeared on his face as he nodded lightly, "Congratulations on your breakthrough, one step closer to the top."

The gap between the two was just too great.

Being complimented by Su Heng, King Qingyang actually felt somewhat uneasy.

He bowed to Su Heng and then laughed a bit awkwardly, "Compared to you, it’s just a trivial improvement."

"I have taken back the head of the Longevity King from the insect tyrant that injured the Princess," Su Heng said calmly, "When I seized that head, there was still a bit of spiritual power left inside it, which imparted to me some secret knowledge."

Whoosh!

As he spoke, Su Heng extended a hand and pointed forward.

A streak of golden light fell into King Qingyang’s brow.

King Qingyang first felt a slight sting, followed immediately by a flood of information spreading throughout his consciousness.

Upon seeing the contents, King Qingyang’s face showed a look of surprise.

What Su Heng left him.

It was the location of the Longevity King’s Daoist Field within the Heavenly Awakening Realm.

The Daoist Field is a small world refined by the spiritual power of a Martial Artist. If it’s destroyed, the best outcome would be a fall in realm and damage to cultivation; the worst would be madness leading to death and extinction of one’s Dao Path. Conversely, if one is fortunate enough to inherit and refine a masterless Daoist Field within the Heavenly Awakening Realm, the path to becoming a Realm Master would be much smoother.

But such occurrences were too rare.

The Heavenly Awakening Realm is vast and boundless. Finding a lost world within such an expanse...

Is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Yet it was different with the coordinates left by the Longevity King.

On the day the Longevity King took the initiative to save King Qingyang from the Immortal Corpse King, it seemed that their relationship was quite good.

Su Heng had already found his own Dao Path.

The Longevity King’s Daoist Field was practically of no use to him.

He couldn’t possibly spend so much time and energy

The grating noise, similar to a cat’s claws on a blackboard, rang out.

Rachel’s wrist trembled violently; the broken sword nearly flew out of his grasp. The creature’s abdomen was covered with a thick layer of armor, and its defense remained unbroken.

Boom!

Rachel’s vision went dark as he was toppled to the ground by the wolf demon.

The wolf demon had a mocking expression as it opened its bloody jaws, biting down towards Rachel’s neck.

Splurt!

Blood sprayed wildly.

However, it was not Rachel’s head that was torn open, but that of the demon on top of him.

As the demonic bloodline was activated, Rachel’s head swiftly swelled, elongating, with sharp hairs growing on both sides, and a grotesque, distended mouth opening wide to bite fiercely onto the wolf demon’s jaw.

Then, with a strong twitch of the muscles in his neck, he violently shook and tore off half of the wolf demon’s jaw with a rending Szzt.

"Awoo!"

Thick black smoke emerged from Rachel’s body, while the wolf demon looked on in terror.

As blood dripped from its mouth, the wolf demon turned tail, attempting to flee.

But after the demonic transformation, Rachel’s physical abilities surged as well, and with a fierce leap forward, he instantaneously pounced on the wolf demon, pinning it to the ground. Then, the unsettling sound of crunching echoed through the empty streets.

After a while,

Boom!

Rachel, who had reverted to his human form, lay sprawled on the ground.

Dizziness washed over him, and a tide-like sting surged throughout his body.

Struggling, he raised his arm, seeing it covered in black hair, abnormally thick, with no sign of receding.

"Phew!" Rachel let out a sigh, his expression dimming. He knew his body was starting to break down and he wouldn’t last much longer. But there was no regret; to be able to be reborn in such a manner and seek revenge against the demons that had slaughtered his villagers was enough for him.

He lay there quietly, gazing at the grey skies, waiting for death to come.

But just then...

Tap!

On the supposedly deserted street,

Suddenly the sound of footsteps could be heard.

Rachel was startled. Despite being utterly exhausted, he struggled to slowly rise from the ground.
