Chapter 348 The Prodigy Chu Batian, Blood of the Demon God
Under the dim night, a black castle stood on the earth.
In the castle, a five-meter-tall figure sat on a throne, with black demonic energy billowing around him, exuding terrifying coercion at the level of a demon king.
Standing on both sides were a dozen burly figures wearing dark red armor, with ferocious heads with curved horns and pitch-black sharp tails, very similar to the original Maxtheus.
On the main seat, Demon King Deviana said in a low voice: "Half the dark night has passed. Is there any news about the human Chu Batian?"
In the lower left head, the real devil of Purgatory, which seemed to be thin in many nine -heavy demons, slightly bowed his head slightly, and respectfully: "Lord Lord of the Devil has no news yet."
Deviana frowned slightly: "There is no news yet. Could it be that Chu Batian didn't enter the vast world, but grew up hiding behind the human race?"
The thin Purgatory True Demon thought for a while: "Probably not. The human race's training methods are different from ours. Their noble-level fresh blood will soon enter the vast world."
“For these barren beings in the original world, only a vast world with endless resources and stable rules of heaven and earth can help them grow faster.”
"There is no news at the moment. It should be that the humans who come into contact with our clan are not of a sufficient level. Because they are on the outer edge, it is difficult for these people to obtain important information in a timely manner."
"Of course, there is another possibility that the conditions offered by our clan are not enough for them to take risks."
“Those humans are very greedy and cunning. Everyone is cautious when coming into contact with our tribe. They want precious resources but are afraid of being exposed.”
At this point, a sneer appeared on the face of the thin demon clan: "It's a pity that they don't know that as long as they take my clan's resources, they will have no way of turning back."
Deviana pondered slightly, and then said in a deep voice: "Tell them that whoever can get accurate information about Chu Batian can get a copy of the demon's blood."
“The blood of the demon god, sir, will it be too cheap for those humans?” All the real demons below looked shocked, with desire in their eyes.
The blood of the demon god, said to be a demon, is actually a life evolution artifact refined by the purgatory demons using countless giant beasts and other life forms as materials.
After absorbing the life of non-demons, they can be converted into true demons of purgatory, their bloodline will be purified, their life levels will jump, and they will become top nobles with the potential of demon kings.
Even these powerful demons with nine demon marks are useful.
It’s just that it’s too difficult to refine the blood of the demon god. The Dark Demon Empire can only refine it once every one hundred suns and moons. Ordinary demon strongmen are not qualified to get involved.
“Not only Chu Batian, but also told those humans that as long as they provide useful information about human geniuses and descendants of kings, all rewards will be tripled.”
Deviana doesn’t believe that those greedy humans will be able to resist the temptation under the heavy reward.
…
After passing through many dangerous areas and flying for more than four hours, Chen Chu finally arrived at the headquarters of the 7th Army of the Development Department.
In the dark night, a sacred tree that is more than 10,000 meters high stands tall, deep into the clouds. Its layered crown covers an area of dozens of kilometers, blocking out the sky and the sun.
But at this moment, this towering tree was emitting a silvery brilliance, and those leaves seemed to be able to gather the moonlight from the sky, forming a halo that illuminated the surrounding world.
Even Chen Chu couldn't help but marvel at this scene: "It is said that this Moonlight Sacred Tree is a 'powerful man' comparable to a king-level powerhouse."
Qingqiu Minghui smiled and nodded: "Yes, Master Yinhui is a special life form, like a tree but not a tree. He has great power within the scope of Yinhui."
As he spoke, the fighter plane quickly approached. When it entered the range illuminated by silver light, an invisible wave swept across the fighter plane.
Whoosh! The fighter plane passed through huge branches, and finally landed slowly on a 'square' composed of silver leaves in the middle of the big tree.
From time to time, a fighter plane landed or took off around, making it very busy.
At the same time, a special ‘city’ built around the tree waist from below came into Chen Chu’s eyes.
“Hahahaha...come and chase me, Xiaoxiao.”
“Wait for me, Goudan…”
Walking on a tree-trunk road dozens of meters wide, cars were passing in the middle. From time to time, super soldiers wearing armor and carrying weapons could be seen on the sidewalks on both sides.
Chen Chu glanced at the special 'vehicles' and the 'elevators' that kept going up and down in the distance, and felt a little strange: "Brother Qingqiu, didn't you say that the erosion of technological products is serious here?"
Although Chen Chu had read information about the mythical world before coming, the information mainly introduced the customs and customs of the mythical world and was relatively general.
For example, the Seventh Legion of the Development Department is simply introduced to be built on a big tree comparable to the mythical king.
Facing Chen Chu's doubts, Qingqiu Mingyue explained: "Simple technological appliances are indeed seriously corroded by the strong energy of heaven and earth, but it does not mean that they cannot be used."
“After decades of research, we have completed the initial combination of technology and inscriptions. Adding some special rune talents to those mechanical equipment can reduce the intensity of erosion.”
“It’s just that many precision equipment and electronic components still have to be manufactured in the Blue Star world and attached with a rune protective layer before they can be sent over.”
“In addition, under this situation, our demand for minerals and materials with energy conductivity is also increasing to improve the civilization construction of major bases.”
“However, while vigorously developing, population has become the biggest constraint at present.”
Chen Chu thoughtfully said: "Population, you mean that the number of practitioners is not enough."
Qingqiu Minghui nodded: "Yes, although due to the popularity of body casting method, the number of practitioners has exploded in the past ten years, and the total has expanded to more than 10 million."
“There are more than 10 million cultivators, but only more than 3 million are recorded to have reached the fourth level or above, including those standard soldiers in the military who only cultivate Qi and blood and are used to drive firepower equipment.”
“Although more than three million people may sound like a lot, excluding some of the troops who guard the inner world of Blue Star and maintain order, there are only about three million people entering the mythical world.”
“Some of these three million people have to be engaged in logistics maintenance, production, mineral mining, and resource extraction, so there are only about two million people on the frontal battlefield.”
“These warriors were further divided into thirty-one legions, each legion could not even muster 70,000 men, and most of them were high-level ordinary warriors.”
"However, despite the small number of our human legion, with the help of the mecha legion, short-range drones, unmanned fortresses, long-range fire strikes and other integrated methods, even if we face a powerful civilization like the Purgatory Demon Tribe on the frontal battlefield, Not afraid.”
“However, this also puts a lot of logistical pressure, so resource minerals have been vigorously exploited, requiring many people to engage in production and management.”
Chen Chu nodded, his eyes falling on the children playing in the distance: "So those are the federal population plans?"
Qingqiu Minghui nodded: "Yes, those children are called new humans. They are the descendants of the cultivators and warriors who have been stationed here for a long time. They were born, grew up, and studied in the mythical world."
"only…"
Speaking of this, Qingqiu Minghui showed a wry smile on his face: "I don't know if it's the rules of the world or the reason of the mythical world. These children's talents are as stable as those of the creatures in the mythical world."
“Their physiques reached the foundation building standard when they were born. After the age of five, they are comparable to the first level of heaven. And each of them can practice true martial arts. In the early stage, they made rapid progress under the rich energy of heaven and earth.”
“But after they break through the fourth heaven, their cultivation progress will suddenly become very slow, excruciatingly slow.”
Chen Chu raised his eyebrows: "Is it because of mental and will issues?"
At the fourth level of heaven, in addition to absorbing the energy of heaven and earth and converting it into true power, cultivators must also sharpen their will. Only by merging spirit and true power can they slowly comprehend the world.
"good."
Qingqiu Minghui nodded: "Their spiritual wills born in the mythical world are very stable, just like those mutated creatures, which are difficult to mobilize."
“After decades of experiments, the strongest among the new humans can barely break through the high-level eighth level, let alone the ninth level or even the king-level powerhouse.”
"However, these new humans are not without their advantages. They have great advantages in body training. Their basic adult physiques can reach the fifth or even sixth heaven level."
“But because it’s just body training and physical fitness, there is a big gap in strength between him and Zhenwu practitioners at the same level, so he is currently mostly engaged in logistics, production and management.”
“It’s just that it’s difficult for cultivators to have children. After years of development, there are probably more than five million new humans in the mythical world.”
“However, the official has been studying the issue of fertility, and recently I heard that some progress has been made, which should speed up the growth of the number of new humans.”
While the two of them were talking, the playful children around them also looked at them curiously.
At this time, the two came to a hollow formed between tree branches, and saw Qingqiu Minghui surrounded by silver light, rushing towards the sky.
The two of them flew all the way and soon reached the clouds at a height of 10,000 meters. They built many office buildings among the tree trunks that were harder than alloy.
The clouds and mist linger around these buildings, and the leaves are shining like a fairyland on earth. Qingqiu Minghui introduced: "This is the office area of the Seventh Army."
"The pioneering part is divided into the inner ring and the outer ring. The inner ring of our Seventh Army radiates more than 5,000 kilometers. It is an area that is known to be explored and relatively safe."
“Ordinary soldiers of the legion are responsible for cleaning up the mutated giant beasts in surrounding resource points and mineral mining points, and maintaining the safety of transportation routes.”
“And those of us with high-level cultivation will form a pioneering team to explore deeper areas in the outer circle and expand the human territory.”
As he spoke, Qingqiu Minghui led Chen Chu around and around, and finally came to the office on the top floor of the building, where a silver-haired young man was looking at information behind the desk.
Qingqiu Minghui said respectfully: "Uncle Chen, I have brought him back."
Chen Chu also said politely: "I have seen the Chen Throne."
The silver-haired young man put down the materials in his hands and nodded slightly to Qingqiu Minghui: "Thank you for your hard work, Minghui."
“Where, this is what I should do.”
The silver-haired young man looked at Chen Chu and smiled: "Xiao Chen, no, it's Xiao Chu when we get here. Brother Xie has already said hello to me. If you need anything here, you can always come to me."
The silver-haired young man's attitude towards Chen Chu made Qingqiu Minghui a little envious.
Although he was a 'genius' who broke through the eighth level in his early twenties and awakened the bloodline of the king's descendants, he still did not dare to neglect when facing these king-level powerhouses.
Being below the king's level and being a king are completely different concepts. As long as you are not a king for a day, you are not qualified to sit on an equal footing with them.
As for geniuses, every year in the Human Alliance there are a lot of geniuses who reach the eighth level and the ninth level, but few of them can break through to the king level.
Comprehension of the field, understanding of the laws, and controlling the laws are too difficult, and that is a natural chasm.
The silver-haired young man asked in a gentle tone: "Xiao Chu, Minghui has already introduced the situation here to you, right? Are you going to work in the inner circle or join the pioneering team?"
Chen Chu said politely: "My goal this time is to hone myself and break through the Nine Heavens as soon as possible, so I am preparing to go deep into the outer circle and open up territory for my human race."
“But Throne, I have always been used to acting alone, can I not choose to join the team?”
At present, almost all the advanced mutated creatures around the human race have been killed for safety reasons. Therefore, if Chen Chu wants to hunt down behemoths above level seven, he needs to go deep into the mythical world.
“With your strength, it’s not impossible for you to act alone.”
The silver-haired young man pondered slightly: "It's just that the mythical world is not as good as Blue Star. You just came here. I think you can understand the situation first before acting alone."
“Just in time, the spiritual crystal mines in the Tianque Mountains ahead sent for help. There are some traces of giant mountain beasts near the mountains that need to be dealt with.”
“How about you go on a mission with Minghui’s team first and get familiar with the habits and combat of mutated creatures here?”
Chen Chu did not refuse the silver-haired young man's kindness and nodded politely: "No problem, just follow the throne's arrangements."
Seeing that Chen Chu was willing to listen to the advice, the silver young man couldn't help but smile. What he was most afraid of was that this evil genius would be unruly, which would be more troublesome.
At present, it seems to be similar to what the data says, modest, steady, and good.
After getting the mission information from the silver-haired young man, Qingqiu Minghui took Chen Chu out of the office building.
“The mythical world at night is very dangerous. Accidents may happen at any time during the ten-day night, especially when the blood moon may appear at any time.”
“We usually don’t go out at night unless there is an emergency, like this time.”
“At present, in terms of communication, we can achieve short-distance information transmission with the help of rune signal base station towers set up at joint points.”
“Due to the suppression of the sky here, satellites cannot be sent up. The altitude is too low and will be destroyed by those mutated birds, so more convenient satellite transmission cannot be used.”
“But ground signal towers are also often destroyed by alien beasts and require regular maintenance to maintain communication with those resource points and provide reinforcements at any time.”
While talking, the two of them came to the other side of the platform. Many rooms were built here, and from time to time, high-level cultivators exuding the seventh-level aura could be seen entering and exiting.
In the service point with the house number of 'Group 19', four men and women wearing battle armor and exuding the aura of high-level experts were talking.
At this time, Qingqiu Minghui and Chen Chu pushed the door open and walked in.
Looking at Chen Chu behind Qingqiu Minghui, the young man with red hair asked curiously: "Vice captain, is this little brother the person you went to pick up this time?"
"good."
Qingqiu Minghui nodded and continued: "I just received a mission from King Chen to deal with the giant mountain beast that appeared on the edge of the Tianque Mountains."
Suddenly the eyes of the four people moved slightly. The woman with long hair and mature charm asked: "Minghui, how strong are these mountain beasts and how many are there?"
“The data says it’s three levels to eight and nine heads to level seven, but more detailed information can’t be determined until we go over to investigate.” Qingqiu Minghui said more conservatively.
“If it’s level three or eight, it should be fine.”
The faces of several people showed excitement, because completing this kind of cleanup task meant a lot of merit points.
Qingqiu Minghui smiled and said, "By the way, let me introduce it to you before setting off."
“Brother Chu, the guy over there with red hair and fine scales on his face is called Wen Jiayuan. He comes from Beilin. He is at the peak of the seventh heaven and is good at invisible tracking.”
"The one who seems to be carefree is called Liang Ge. He is in the middle of the seventh heaven. He is only twenty-three years old this year. He is a genius who is expected to break through to the ninth level."
The young man with long hair and good looks said with a smile: "Thank you for the compliment, vice-captain, but my goal is to be the king."
“Have good ambitions.”
Qingqiu Minghui smiled and continued to introduce: "This beautiful beauty is Lan Caiwei. She is twenty-nine years old. She is a strong person in the middle eighth level and the captain of the nineteenth group."
The woman with her long hair slightly curled behind her back and exuding a mature charm said with a smile: "Brother Xiao Chu, don't listen to Minghui's nonsense, I have just turned twenty this year."
Eh...Twenty years and more than one hundred months. Chen Chu's eyes were strange.
“The one who is silent is Meng Shishi, who is in the middle stage of cultivation in the seventh heaven. He has awakened his innate ability involving space and is very powerful.”
After introducing everyone, Qingqiu Minghui patted Chen Chu on the shoulder: "This is Brother Chu Batian Chu."
"Pfft! Chu Batian, make sure I heard you right." The careless Liang Ge almost choked on his saliva, and the other three people also had strange looks in their eyes.
Because this name... is so special.
At this moment, Qingqiu Minghui suddenly said: "I almost forgot to tell you that although Brother Chu is only eighteen years old, his cultivation has already exceeded the early stage of the eighth level."
Because he continues to use the name Chu Batian, Chen Chu's external age is still eighteen years old.
But even this startled these people. Liang Ge even jumped up from his chair and said in a voiceless voice: "What, eighteen years old!"
Wen Jiayuan swallowed and couldn't believe it: "Eighteen-year-old Eighth Heaven, you must be a liar!"
“Haha...were you all shocked? Not to mention you, I was even shocked.”
Qingqiu Minghui laughed. He was not joking. Before going to the passage city to pick up people, he was also shocked when he got Chen Chu's current information.
After all, when he met Chen Chu two months ago, he was only in the middle of the sixth heaven. After two months, he broke through to the eighth heaven. He was simply a monster.
Chen Chu coughed dryly and said modestly: "Don't be surprised, I just practice faster. In other aspects, I am not as good as those who have been fighting in the mythical world for a long time."
“It turns out it’s just that the cultivation speed is faster.” The four people nodded to express their understanding.
I understand, they were considered some of the top geniuses in school back then, but where were they when they were eighteen years old?
Today I have two chapters and 9,000 words. Brothers, please remember to vote for it.
