Chapter 465: 365 Chapter This Time It’s Not a Game_1

The blood of the Supreme Demon is very useful, and throughout history, the instances of Supreme Demon Blood falling into human hands have been extremely rare. Most of the Supreme Demon Blood that appeared in the Mortal Realm is related to the conspiracies of the Supreme Demons, and not everyone can bear the brunt of such a substance.

Ordinary people who come into contact with Supreme Demon Blood are even more likely to be harmed by it.

Now, the Diviners witnessed with their own eyes as an arm filled with Supreme Demon Blood was drained, and the blood was refined by Liu Hongzhao, which strengthened the girl’s presence, and more importantly, the Heaven’s Mandate she carried was also "enhanced".

"...Indeed," Yi Nan murmured after witnessing the scene. Liu Hongzhao’s Heaven’s Mandate had a deep connection with Supreme Demons. And this connection wasn’t about standing with the Supreme Demons, but rather—God-slaying.

As soon as she started to deal with the Supreme Demons in earnest, the Heaven’s Mandate she bore began to strengthen. Historically, beings like Supreme Demons have always been considered ’favored by Heaven’s Mandate,’ not because they carry any Heaven’s Mandate themselves, but because they are unique existences.

Even without bearing Heaven’s Mandate, their actions can effortlessly impact a vast number of creatures.

Now, there’s a girl supposedly bearing the God-slaying Heaven’s Mandate. What does that indicate? Heaven’s Mandate wants to phase out beings like the Supreme Demons.

"The Supreme Demons are related to otherworldly disasters like the Demon Flower... Maybe that’s the reason?" Wei Xue speculated after a moment of thought.

Regardless, if Heaven’s Mandate wants to phase out the Supreme Demons, that’s good news. But with the alien demons growing in strength, if the human race doesn’t try hard, it might inevitably become the next race to be phased out. In a world full of scars, alien demons have too much of an advantage.

"There may be many reasons, but now we need to hasten our journey. Everyone, can you manage?" Huan Zhen looked at a horse in front of him, his expression somewhat troubled as he asked.

It was an Undead horse, which Zheng Yichen had captured while Liu Hongzhao was refining the serpent demon’s blood. As for how to control such a creature, it was simple: Zheng Yichen cut his finger and pressed it against the heads of the Undead horses.

In Hell, there’s not much difference between the Undead and the deceased; both can be touched directly, but when ordinary people touch these Undead beings, they are affected by death aura. Outside of Hell, this isn’t such a big issue.

"Hahaha, isn’t it just riding a horse? There’s no difference between a living and a dead one, right? You’re not saying you can’t ride a horse without a saddle, are you?" Wei Xue laughed heartily, then mounted a horse, but immediately his expression revealed a toothy grimace—the coldness was a bit too much!

"Definitely better than you," Huan Zhen mounted as well, but the corner of his eye twitched involuntarily. Riding an Undead horse felt similar to a normal horse, but he really felt the need for a saddle— it was far too chilly, and the cold did not seem to warm up even after sitting for a longer time.

"If no one has any issues, then let’s set off." Seeing the Diviners mounted, Zheng Yichen waved to Liu Hongzhao, who was adjusting to her new state. The girl in red obediently sat on the motorcycle, casually wrapping her arms around Zheng Yichen.

Her mental state still contained remnants of demonic thoughts, but the Amulet Zheng Yichen gave her was quite effective. That influence could already be ignored, and when she was beside Zheng Yichen, she felt even the remnants of demonic thoughts could become stronger without affecting her.

Being by his side, there was nothing to fear.

As for the enhancement of her strength, the power of the Wolf God and the Snake God may differ, but all Supreme Demon Blood possesses the qualities of a Supreme Demon. After refining it at a preliminary level, she could feel the Supreme Demon Blood within her body beginning to boil. This didn’t transform her into a real Supreme Demon but directly enhanced her strength.

Even the Supreme Demon Blood she had harvested this time, if there were more of it, and she could launch an attack like the one a few hours ago, her confidence in taking down the Wolf God’s head would increase significantly.

"Brother Chang Qing, how long will it take you to recover after using Demonic Abyss Seven Kills?"

During the pursuit, Liu Hongzhao quietly asked Zheng Yichen.

"About half an hour or more?" Zheng Yichen replied uncertainly, as the recovery time after using Demonic Abyss Seven Kills was more or less the same each time.

Occasionally, there were exceptional circumstances that accelerated his recovery, which meant dying once after a fight to refresh his state if his condition wasn’t good enough.

"...Then I still have many shortcomings." Liu Hongzhao’s head rested against Zheng Yichen’s back. Several hours had passed, and she still hadn’t fully recovered, her spirit prone to lapsing into madness at the slightest provocation.

But with Zheng Yichen present, she could restrain the impulse to succumb to that madness.

"..." Zheng Yichen, who was riding the bike, stayed silent. Young lady, could you keep your hands to yourself for a bit? He felt the hands on him becoming increasingly presumptuous, and his eyes twitched involuntarily. Had those hands not restrained themselves further, Zheng Yichen would have lost his patience.

Still, he decided to deal with the Supreme Demon first. The Blood Combustion Transform to Origin followed by the Return to Origin allowed him to retain his enhanced abilities from the previous battle. A few hours wouldn’t impact him much—had it not been for the hallucinogens still present in his blood, he could have even bled a bit to offer to Liu Hongzhao.

As for further enhancements, the next Supreme Demon would probably be fully prepared. If he had enough Supreme Demon servants, his power could continue to increase; however, achieving First Kill on two had already become difficult. It wasn’t that he couldn’t fight more, but holding back additional Supreme Demons would be pointless.

Two would be just right.

—

"Wolf God, you look pitiable, and you’ve broken the rules!" scoffed a horned figure resembling the Bull Demon King, a ’Supreme Demon servant,’ eyeing the approaching Wolf God with malicious intent. A wounded Supreme Demon coming to him was like a pie falling into his lap.

"Hmph, why do you think I’ve ended up like this?" Even in the face of the ill-intentioned Bull God, the Wolf God remained calm, lifting its right arm: "See for yourself!"

Without suppressing its injuries any longer, its arm immediately revealed numerous wounds. The Bull God’s expression turned to one of shock: "Battle Maniac Asura has returned!?"

The Demonic Abyss Seven Kills had been a frequently used, powerful move by Battle Maniac Asura. This technique, which was particularly effective when he fought desperately, was almost used like a basic attack in high-intensity battles. Even Supreme Demons could not withstand it.

But it didn’t matter to Battle Maniac Asura; with no way out, if the Supreme Demons couldn’t bear it, so be it. In the end, like a spellcaster with an array of trump-cards, other Supreme Demons were left to face the disaster.

"No, the Demonic Abyss Seven Kills of Battle Maniac Asura isn’t this gory." Very quickly, the Bull God noticed the anomaly. The same move executed by different beings would have its differences. The residue of Demonic Abyss Seven Kills on the Wolf God’s arm was distinctly different from that of Battle Maniac Asura.

Realizing something, the Bull God’s expression turned mocking, and he couldn’t help laughing: "So, it was that human girl who sent you running to me in such a state? When did you become so feeble?

"Seeing as you’ve become so worthless, why don’t you just let me finish you off?"

"Idiot, that girl might grow stronger in the future, but what threat does she pose to us now? The real trouble is the person assisting her; we need to join forces to deal with him!" the Wolf God said gravely: "This Supreme Demon expedition is no game anymore!"

"Come inside first." The Bull God pondered briefly before allowing the werewolf into his palace. This place was his stronghold in Hell, a base he had developed. Previously, he wouldn’t have cared much, but now with most Supreme Demons weakened, a solid base was necessary.

Though the Supreme Demon servants under him were meant to be sacrifices for their own recovery, there was no consensus among the Supreme Demons on how to recover. Everyone wanted a speedy return to strength.

How to recover quickly depended on performance in this campaign. Those who won more would naturally recover faster, as there was a connection between Supreme Demon servants and the Supreme Demons they served. The more surviving servants a side had, the more feedback the associated Supreme Demons would receive.

As for the losers, there wasn’t much to say. Coming up with a strategy to accumulate military power for the next round was what mattered.

And for those Supreme Demon servants who died in the war... Since they were sacrifices, their deaths, no matter how many, were inconsequential—no Supreme Demon cared. What they sought was a rapid return to their peak condition.

"Tell me everything you know!" The Bull God stared at the arriving Wolf God. He knew the other had come with ill intentions, but he was also keen to learn about the situation. Having clashed with the said adversary, the Wolf God must possess some valuable intelligence, regardless of whether it was entirely truthful.

"You’ve experienced the Supreme Demon expedition yourself, and forget about the Diviner—what’s crucial is that human girl and her helper..." The Wolf God relayed the situation from Zheng Yichen’s side, then glanced outside the palace: "We still have time. You’d better sacrifice all your Supreme Demon servants; otherwise, they will certainly become that person’s source of strength!"

The Wolf God did not miss Zheng Yichen’s growing strength; as a Supreme Demon, it would have been troubling not to notice. But at the time, there was no way to stop it, only managing to sacrifice some Supreme Demon servants while planning to escape later.

"Are you joking?" The Bull God looked at the Wolf God derisively. The Supreme Demons were engaged in a war ’game,’ and their base of operations had been carefully built up. Give up here just because of what the Wolf God said?

Rather than be persuaded by the Wolf God, the Bull God was more inclined to kill him and take him as his own nourishment. After all, they were bound to have a significant confrontation eventually. Killing the Wolf God during the battle would allow him to overcome the impact of Battle Maniac Asura and recover quickly.

This was also a golden opportunity to strike at other Supreme Demons. It would be easy for others to take advantage during fights, but with the Wolf God coming directly to him, that... was simply too tempting.
