Chapter 555: Chapter 427: Cannon Fodder Who Came to Deliver Themselves_1

A lot happened in the course of one night. The new passage that Zheng Yichen created brought about constant competition among those with ambition, leading to a great number of Supreme Demon relics being unearthed. Furthermore, people discovered that those Supreme Demon sites were not everything left behind by the deceased Supreme Demon.

As long as one could find them, they could monopolize them. The belief that only the Daughter of Heaven’s Mandate could unlock the Supreme Demon treasure could now be disregarded. They were so formidable that even if the Daughter of Heaven’s Mandate opened the treasure, she would have to take a portion away, whereas if they found it, they could deal with it themselves.

What need then, was there for the Daughter of Heaven’s Mandate?

But to find the Supreme Demon sites, one needed to go to Hell; as for the Mortal Realm, letting the Diviners search was also a possibility. After all, the Supreme Demon was already dead, so Divination on those deceased Supreme Demons should be feasible, right?

As a result, Diviners became highly sought after. However, the number of Diviners after the Demon Flower catastrophe wasn’t exactly high and they were all monopolized by the major powers. Meanwhile, Diviners who had previously pledged allegiance to Supreme Demons began considering other options.

Especially after they lost contact with the Supreme Demons they originally served.

Diviners took the initiative to lead teams, hoping to find more of the Supreme Demon treasure.

Zheng Yichen couldn’t care less about these matters. Supreme Demon’s treasure was indeed very good, but in his eyes, the body of the Supreme Demon was the greatest treasure. As for other heaven-sent and earth-born treasures, he also had a collection, but that was for later.

Later on, he would have Yi Nan and the others search for it. After the relocation, Qi Family Town would need to develop, and the Supreme Demon’s legacy was the best target. Moreover, with the Compass in their possession, finding those places would be much easier.

Precise positioning wasn’t possible, but slowly searching should be, right?

Hell, a group of martial arts experts were on guard against each other. While restraint was necessary in Qi Family Town, here in Hell there were no such restraints. They hailed from various powers with clear objectives. If one person eyed an object, others would desire it too, leading to competition.

The legacy left by the Supreme Demons was just too rich: Divine weapons, rare spells, heavenly and earthly treasures, and more. Anything deemed worthy of collection by the Supreme Demon was bound to be a good find, and who wouldn’t want such treasures?

If not for the lack of time, they truly would have engaged in a big fight.

"Gentlemen, we don’t have much time left; continuing the standoff is just a waste of time," one Diviner loudly reminded, "This place is Hell after all!"

"Hmph, let’s go," a man snorted coldly, grabbing a large chest and leaving the area. The scavenging wasn’t over yet, and it truly wasn’t worth wasting time.

Moreover, an environment like Hell really wasn’t fit for humans. After moving around for a while, they started to feel ill. Only the protection of Inner Strength could prevent further effects, and additional fighting would only shorten the time they had to scavenge here.

No matter how powerful and invincible a Supreme Demon was in life, once dead, it remained just that. Thoroughly deceased, the Supreme Demon wasn’t going to suddenly spring back to life. Those who scavenged the Supreme Demon’s legacy were mostly looking for elements of the Supreme Demon’s power.

They, or the people behind them, wanted to become beings like the Supreme Demons!

In the past, people both feared and envied the Supreme Demons. Naturally, after a Supreme Demon’s death, they desired to become Supreme Demons through the legacy left behind.

With power, the number of things one could accomplish was simply too many.

"...Sigh." The Mortal Realm, Shao Heng wearing a bamboo hat watched as some alien demons gathered, forming a large army and advancing towards Qi Family Town. Faced with this situation, Shao Heng really wanted to intervene.

Only these alien demons were influenced by the Supreme Demon, and he was incapable of stopping them.

Thinking this, Shao Heng slightly narrowed his eyes. Although he couldn’t stop them directly, he could still delay them a bit and pass on a message.

Some things need to be expressed, and not all alien demons can be treated the same.

It was a long night. The Supreme Demons were restless; the alien demons were on the move.

"Sleep, sleep, tomorrow we’ll see which Supreme Demon to seek out—" Zheng Yichen yawned and closed his eyes to sleep.

The next day, after Zheng Yichen woke up and found the three little ones, Qi Xiangyun produced an envelope, "Brother Chang Qing, this was sent over by Shao Heng. The alien demons have already gathered into a large army and are approaching our area. He tried to resolve some alien demon leaders to delay them, but those alien demons have been influenced by the Supreme Demon and it was futile."

"Is that so? Leave it to me," Zheng Yichen glanced at the contents of the envelope, then picked up a bowl of porridge made by Lin Yaoyao and tasted it, "Numbers are meaningless to me."

Liu Hongzhao said very decisively, "I’m going too."

"Okay," Zheng Yichen didn’t comment further. In a world where one can possess great power, a single person could indeed be worth a thousand troops; armies in such worlds had their significance sometimes to buy time or to occupy places.

Apart from the high-end combat power, a world is mostly populated by ordinary people.

If the forces arranging the army do not have high-end combat power leading the charge, sending out troops can easily be a waste of effort. However, this world also has some battle formations designed to counteract masters; these formations allow soldiers to close the gap with high-end combat power as their numbers increase.

But this requires sufficient training to achieve. When Zheng Yichen was dealing with Supreme Demon servants in Hell, he had not encountered such battle formations, and he doubted whether these alien demons could produce such formations...

"I’m going too," Lin Yaoyao hurriedly said, afraid of being left behind, "I might not be able to fight the Supreme Demon, but I can still handle those alien demons."

Qi Xiangyun came up with an idea, "There are also those Hell skeletons Brother Chang Qing brought back; they seem to be able to grow stronger through slaughter."

"That works, that works. Since those alien demons are heading towards Qi Family Town, it’s necessary to fight them. We need to give the people who are migrating some confidence."

That’s what was said, but when the alien demons truly appeared, Zheng Yichen realized there were actually many participants in the battle. The masters who had stayed in Qi Family Town now played their part. The migration of Qi Family Town was inevitable, but they were not concerned with the migration itself; they were focused on the gateway opened during the migration of Qi Family Town.

If Qi Family Town was destroyed, those who could open the gateway would just leave, and how would they then acquire more Supreme Demon artifacts?

Although less than four days had passed, those who had obtained Supreme Demon artifacts had already reaped huge benefits.

Some of these artifacts still contained the Supreme Demon’s power, and since the corresponding Supreme Demons were thoroughly dead, they could try to use that power directly, either in practice or in other aspects.

As much as possible, they tried to make their own power akin to that of the Supreme Demons, in an attempt to become one themselves. Most people were trying, and some had already seen some improvement.

Those who had improved yearned for more, so it was even less likely that they would allow Qi Family Town to fall into ruin.

They were also confident about the upcoming battle. If the beings capable of killing Supreme Demons were present, what threat could the alien demon army pose?

"These alien demons are mere sacrifices to buy time," Yi Nan remarked, as he saw the alien demons charging toward Qi Family Town. Their number had surpassed a hundred thousand, and their march was very disorganized.

As for their ability to approach this place overnight, that was purely because the individual alien demons far surpassed ordinary people. As long as they confirmed a location, they could hurry over.

Wherever the alien demons went, nothing would be left alive; everything edible was devoured, making supplies unnecessary, and these alien demons showed frenzied expressions and exceptional physical strength. The Supreme Demon’s power deeply influenced these enlightened alien demons, turning them into fanatical war machines.

Yi Nan divined that these alien demons were only the vanguard, and following them would be more alien demons deluded by the Supreme Demons, continuously arriving here. From this perspective, it was clear that the Supreme Demons did not expect the alien demons to achieve much.

The Supreme Demons were merely using these fodder to buy time. Zheng Yichen could leave this place, but as soon as he did, Qi Family Town would be overwhelmed by infinite alien demons. The Supreme Demons were betting on whether Zheng Yichen would be concerned enough to stay.

However, it seemed that the Supreme Demons had underestimated Zheng Yichen.

After Zheng Yichen made his move, Yi Nan knew that these cannon fodder were no longer of any significance.

A vast expanse of pale green fire clouds emerged in the sky, from within which numerous fiery meteors fell. The explosions caused by the meteors upon impact swallowed all the alien demons in the vicinity, and the soil at the center of the blasts spontaneously coalesced, standing up into a somewhat irregular mud figure engulfed in flames.

Zheng Yichen looked at the flaming mud figures that had appeared and shook his head, "Hmm... I need to find a chance to upgrade the meteor fire rain."

When fishing in Hell, Zheng Yichen specifically captured some alien demon souls; the ability of soul control was very useful. It was not effective on Supreme Demons due to their unique undying nature; soul control could influence weak Supreme Demon souls but would also maintain the existence of the Supreme Demon.

Between preserving a Supreme Demon and destroying it, he decisively chose destruction.

Souls could be found anywhere, so why preserve the soul of a Supreme Demon? He was not from this world; since he had to deal with Supreme Demons, better to do it thoroughly!

The alien demon souls under soul control manipulation, combined with meteor fire rain, resulted in what was before him now, which was somewhat lacking compared to the Hellfire he had envisioned.

The ability to form mud figures was due to Zheng Yichen’s inherent Soil-earth type power, which allowed the controlled souls to be barely shaped by his supplemental strength, along with his mastery of Soil-earth type power.

In Hell, Zheng Yichen also tested whether, by forgoing the feedback enhancement from souls, he could avoid the problem of sharing the damage received by the controlled souls. If he enhanced them unilaterally, those souls would also unilaterally absorb damage for him.

This made it very manageable; when he needed to strengthen himself with souls, he just needed to keep those souls contained. On the other hand, he shouldn’t use the souls’ feedback to enhance himself when he needed to fight.

Operating on quantity, there was no need to activate both effects at once, unless he had a few exceptionally strong souls in hand, which would make him consider a bidirectional enhancement.

Unfortunately, the strength enhancement was just a basic enhancement of the target without sharing any special abilities. Otherwise, these controlled souls could make use of the Soil-earth power to shape their bodies better...
