Chapter 819: Chapter 428 The Arrival of the Ancient Boat
After these several days of tasks, the eleven Demonic Emperors had all been slain by him, now leaving only some Soul-eating Demons and a few King-level Demonic Beasts on his body.
Originally, he had thought of using the Divine Souls of a few Demonic Emperors to refine a couple of Paper Puppet Demons to enhance the Strength of the Supreme Divine Soil, but under the power of God and Demon Sky Devour, nothing was left.
“Should I take a trip to the demon clan and capture a few more Demonic Emperors?” Su Nan entertained a thought.
It had to be said that this thought was extremely bold. However, no sooner did the idea come to him than he acted on it, heading straight for the territory where the Tianjue Province demon clan resided.
With the ability to foresee the future and Universe in the Sleeve, he would only capture those at the Early Stage of Emperor Level; there would be no accidents.
“Among the information provided by Tiangong Pavilion, there is a Suppressed Demonic Beast locale right at the edge of the demon territory, which is conveniently on the way.”
…
The Ancestral Land of the demon clan was vast, not resembling a secret realm space at all but rather a fragment of a continent, except here, there were neither Humans nor members of the demon clan.
Four hours later, as Su Nan gazed down from high above, and from a great distance, he finally spotted a not so large, yet not small, desert.
Knowing Zhou Cheng was here, he didn’t want to startle the snake by beating the grass, so he immediately transformed into an inconspicuous little bird.
His gaze scanned the desert below, and indeed, he saw a figure at the edge of the desert—it was Zhou Cheng.
Just like foreknowledge had suggested, Zhou Cheng was searching around with a Compass in his hand.
Su Nan quietly watched for another two hours.
Eventually, Zhou Cheng found the location of the Divine Weapon and quickly began to dig. Soon after, a Skeleton was unearthed by him.
“Divine Weapon! I’ve finally found it!” Zhou Cheng exclaimed in joy upon seeing the pearl in the Skeleton’s hand.
To get here, they had lain dormant for so many days at Picking Stars Peak, wasting a great deal of Time, unable to undertake the Mainline Task of the Luck Child.
But now that they had this Divine Weapon, it was all worth it.
Eagerly, his heart racing, he reached out for the pearl held in the Skeleton’s hand, but in the next moment, a hand beat him to it, grabbing the pearl first.
Zhou Cheng was startled, and it took a moment for him to react. By the time he recognized Su Nan’s appearance, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
Now, Su Nan still maintained the appearance of Lang Wu, a guise he’d adopted after arriving at Ten Thousand Demon Ridge, which Zhou Cheng did not recognize.
But Zhou Cheng was not a fool, and seeing Su Nan’s unfamiliar face, as well as the playful look in his eyes, an idea instantly surfaced in his mind.
A Demon King! A Peak King-level Demon King!
In an instant, he subconsciously took out an item—a rusty, stained Dagger. This was an Ancient Treasure, one of the last resorts given to them by the Great Yu Dynasty for this Task.
This thing only had the strength of one strike, but it was this strike that could potentially kill someone even at the Early or Middle-stage Emperor Grade.
Zhou Cheng instinctively wanted to use the Dagger, but for some reason, a feeling suddenly welled up in his heart.
Death!
Even if he used the Dagger, he would die!
“Why is this happening?” Zhou Cheng was bewildered, not understanding why he couldn’t kill a King-level demon with the Dagger.
Confusion filled his heart, but it didn’t prevent him from making a decision. In the blink of an eye, without the luxury of thought, he ultimately decided to follow his body’s intuition and exited the game.
As Zhou Cheng’s figure disappeared, Su Nan was somewhat surprised.
“Why is this guy as cowardly as that Liu Di, thinking of running away at the first sign of danger?” Su Nan was a bit disappointed.
This wasn’t really their fault. After the Fourth Public Test, the cost of death had increased, and no one wanted to lose two resurrection opportunities at Once and be unable to play in the game for two days.
Shaking his head, Su Nan didn’t care and turned his attention to the pearl in his hand, his expression darkening slightly.
The moment he grabbed the pearl, a Task completion notification appeared, with 60 points of Demon Power credited to his account, bringing his Usable Demon Power total to 560 points.
But this wasn’t the point.
“Hiss! How heavy is this pearl? It’s so incredibly heavy.” Su Nan felt a sense of wonder at the weight of the pearl in his hand.
Even with his current Strength, holding this Sea God Pearl was extremely strenuous, and an average Peak King-level person would probably not even be able to pick it up.
He guessed that Zhou Cheng wouldn’t have been able to lift this pearl had he not been there just now.
[Sea God Pearl: A Divine Weapon forged by an Ancient powerhouse with the Strength of an entire sea, possessing the weight of an entire sea, it can be as heavy as ten million catties. It requires ritual refinement before it can be used.]
“Ten million catties!” Su Nan couldn’t help but gasp in astonishment.
One catty is roughly equivalent to thirty catties in reality, so ten million catties would be three hundred million catties!
Instantly, he understood that the mode of attack of the Sea God Pearl must rely on its terrifying weight. Just imagine being hit by something weighing three hundred million catties—the consequence.
Not just King Level or Emperor-level, even Saint Level might not be able to withstand it.
“How should I refine this thing?” He was curious and immediately tried using various Strengths he had at his disposal to attempt to refine it.
A few minutes later, he finally understood how to use the Sea God Pearl.
“This Sea God Pearl is actually refined using the Power of Divine Soul, requiring an imprint of Divine Soul within to be used, and it is also powered by the Power of Divine Soul.”
“Every Time it is used, Divine Soul Strength needs to be infused into it. The more Divine Soul Strength that is infused, the heavier the pearl becomes.”
“With my current Divine Soul, unaided and comparable to Peak King Level, I can make the pearl’s weight reach a million catties.”
“A million catties, not bad at all,” Su Nan nodded with satisfaction.
