I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World
Chapter 419 - 419 The Grand Commander is a Ruthless Character

At that moment, Han Zheng was enveloped in a faint golden aura.

His energy seemed strange, not quite like a Buddha's, Taoist's, or demon's.

Strictly speaking, Han Zheng's current energy was somewhat similar to that of the Black Mountain Demon, a being bathed in the power of Heaven and Earth and born from Demon Clan.

The enormous Heavenly Demon True Pill now stood atop the golden Dan Sea, its thick golden True Yuan churning like waves in an ocean within his Dantian.

Before, Han Zheng had only condensed the Heavenly Demon True Pill, but hadn't completely mastered the Heavenly Demon Pill Method, so his own transformation was not significant.

But now, with the successful creation of the Dan Sea, Han Zheng had reached a realm of internal and external harmony, cultivating both life and spirit.

The Heavenly Demon True Pill was no longer an unrooted duckweed; the Fire Golden Lotus bloomed in an instant, thoroughly merging with Han Zheng's physical body.

At this time, Han Zheng's body emitted a peculiar milky white glow, like jade, extremely smooth and warm.

Even if he stood still, the nature's spiritual energy around him was subconsciously flowing into his body, as if he had some kind of inherent attraction.

Previously, Han Zheng's talent could only be considered ordinary, very ordinary.

But now, after the perfect realization of the Heavenly Demon Pill Method, Han Zheng had utterly shed his old self and remade his talent.

This metamorphosis was not like the Black Mountain Demon, who transformed Black Mountain into a golden one, completely changing his physical body.

Instead, it was about using the Heavenly Demon True Pill as a guide to merge oneself with Heaven and Earth, absorbing Heaven and Earth Power more naturally, with a cultivation speed vastly surpassing that of the past.

Moreover, Han Zheng had a feeling that the attribute of the inner core from the Heavenly Demon Pill Method could even evolve into various cultivation techniques.

However, this theory would need to be verified after Han Zheng accumulated some more Hunger Level.

After this breakthrough, the Hunger Level that Han Zheng had built up over time was instantly depleted, leaving him once again penniless.

"Han Zheng, how did you manage it? You've survived what should have been certain death... no, more like inevitable death," Yan Xuankong finally spoke, after Han Zheng's energy stabilized.

It was unbelievable that Han Zheng could break through!

"There was not a complete lack of hope before; there was still that slim chance.

I can only say that I was lucky to grasp that chance."

Strictly speaking, Han Zheng really did have good luck.

Even though Han Zheng had run countless simulations within the Taotie Furnace, any slight external influence could easily lead to failure.

Lucky for him, Han Zheng wasn't Su Wuming, who would have encountered many accidents during cultivation, so he broke through smoothly.

Yan Xuankong certainly didn't believe that it was just luck, as Han Zheng claimed.

But upon deeper reflection, there seemed to be no other reason that could explain it.

Han Zheng estimated the time, calculating that he could stay in the Heavenly Artillery Arsenal for a few more hours.

He planned to make good use of these hours to train and solidify his cultivation.

In fact, there wasn't much that Han Zheng needed to solidify in his cultivation now; it was more about familiarizing himself with his current power.

Each breakthrough achieved with the Heavenly Demon Pill Method brought an astonishing level of improvement.

Ordinary martial artists just entering the True Pill Realm would have to refine their True Pills step by step to strengthen them further.

However, Han Zheng had already cultivated his True Pill to perfection prior to this and could skip this step, reaching the peak directly.

Thus, Han Zheng could be said to have reached the peak as soon as he broke through, achieving perfection in the True Pill Realm, and could now attempt to explore the Yang God Realm.

Han Zheng gauged his current combat power.

If he were to fight with Lu Tianfang again now, let alone not needing the Stealing Heaven Bow, he could easily kill him with a flick of the hand!

Han Zheng continued to cultivate in the Heavenly Artillery Arsenal until it was time to leave, with someone outside naturally using an array to inform Han Zheng.

Stepping through three gateways and out of the Heavenly Artillery Arsenal, Han Zheng found Chen Baxian waiting at the entrance.

Sensing the current energy and realm of Han Zheng, Chen Baxian's eyes revealed a hint of surprise.

He himself was a prodigy, but even he found it somewhat unexpected that Han Zheng could step into the Martial Arts Grandmaster realm just by entering the Heavenly Artillery Arsenal once.

Whether in the headquarters of the Capital Demon Suppression Department, teeming with talent, or throughout the entire Martial World,

young people of Han Zheng's age who could condense True Pills and enter the Martial Arts Grandmaster realm were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, incredibly precious.

Chen Baxian nodded slightly and praised, "Not bad, your progress is faster than I anticipated.

I merely thought that your cultivation could improve a bit more by entering the Heavenly Artillery Armory, but you've taken a big leap.

In the past few days, young Wen has already stood out among the Divine Guards, and those old scholars who delve into the secrets of the ancient times can't praise him enough.

Now that you have also stepped into the Grandmaster Realm, you've brought honor to Southern Mountain too.

This will show everyone that the martial artists from Southern Mountain are anything but mediocre!

Come with me to meet the Grand Commander; today is a good day to arrange a position for you.

Rest assured, I will secure a good position for you."

Han Zheng gave a salute and said, "Thank you, my lord. My lord, did you know that my time in the Heavenly Artillery Armory was up and specially waited here for me?"

Chen Baxian spoke indifferently, "I have never left.

He Tianxiong was rebuked by the Grand Commander last time, but I know his character; this matter will not end so easily.

He is someone who cannot tolerate others defying him.

On the surface, he definitely wouldn't dare do anything to you.

Having just been reproached by the Grand Commander, if he dares to harm you again, that would be showing disrespect to the Grand Commander.

But the schemes he could come up with in secret are another matter.

Your cultivation time in the Heavenly Artillery Armory is hard-won, I feared He Tianxiong might make a move against you in the shadows, so I've been guarding here just in case.

In any case, I have nothing to do during this period, and I don't know many people inside the Capital Demon Suppression Department, with little socializing to attend to."

"Thank you for your protection, my lord."

Han Zheng was somewhat moved; Chen Baxian, his superior, could be said to be extremely supportive.

He treats you like his own kin and supports you whole-heartedly, ensuring you are protected and stuffing any opportunity into your arms.

But likewise, if you were to play schemes against Chen Baxian, his retaliation would be merciless, just as he dealt with Pang Zhen before.

Yan Xuankong's feelings were even more complex at this moment.

Both he and Chen Baxian were Garrison Commanders from Southern Mountain; why was it that he was covered in infamy, while Chen Baxian was praised by all?

Previously, Yan Xuankong did not understand, but now he realized after seeing how Chen Baxian treated his subordinates.

"There's no need for politeness; you are someone I brought with me from Southern Mountain to the Capital City. How could I just stand by and watch you suffer?

If I were to see you harmed by He Tianxiong right in front of me, where would Chen Baxian put his face?"

Chen Baxian waved his hand and directly took Han Zheng to see the Grand Commander of the Demon Suppression Department.

On the way, Han Zheng was curious and asked, "My lord, what kind of person is our Grand Commander, exactly?"

Chen Baxian paused for a moment, pondered for a while, and then said, "A ruthless person."

Han Zheng was taken aback. What kind of assessment was that?

"If you want me to evaluate the Grand Commander, he is a ruthless person.

Ruthless toward others, even more so to himself.

When the Grand Commander took over the Demon Cleansing Bureau, the internal corruption was extremely severe, in both the headquarters and the branches throughout Great Zhou, and the strength was lacking.

It was the Grand Commander who killed a group of corrupt Xuanjia Guards with a heavy hand, which stopped the decline of the Demon Cleansing Bureau.

During this period, the Grand Commander was assassinated countless times, and even within the Court, there were people saying that he would destroy the Demon Cleansing Bureau and even wanted to strip him of his position as Grand Commander. But all of these were staunchly resisted by him, and finally, the corruption within the Demon Cleansing Bureau was halted.

I took charge of Southern Mountain just as the Grand Commander had assumed his position, and without him, I wouldn't have been able to manage Southern Mountain for so many years with my character."

At this moment, Han Zheng still could not help but want to denounce Yan Xuankong posthumously.

Although Yan Xuankong was strong in martial arts and did a lot of things while in Southern Mountain, even killing three of the Four Great Demon Kings,

he was the typical corrupt and indisciplined Garrison Commander.

Now the Grand Commander must have assumed the position after Yan Xuankong was trapped in Thousand Buddha Village.

Looking at it this way, Yan Xuankong was rather lucky.

If he hadn't been trapped in the Thousand Buddha Village, he might have been cleared out during an internal inspection.
