Chapter 16: Blood Earning, Generous Rewards, Supreme Demonic Body:
(In the evening)
Qin Yan returned to his room after a long and eventful day. Curious to see how much luck he had extracted from Xiao Fan, he decided to check his progress.
Well, considering how much he had tormented Xiao Fan throughout the day, the number was bound to be substantial.
Although the system was set to provide a report at 10 PM automatically, Qin Yan knew he could check it anytime he wished. He decided not to wait.
“System, show the panel,” he commanded.
In the next moment, a translucent blue panel appeared before him:
[Host: Qin Yan]
[Physique: Innate Demonic Body]
[Martial Arts Realm: Early Stage of Fourth Grade]
[Kung Fu: Formless Demonic Kung Fu]
[Combat Skills: Heavenly Demonic Palm, Nine-fold Demonic Sword]
[Luck Value: 108,000]
[Rewards Obtained:
Nine Pattern Yuan Dan × 5
Supreme Demonic Body Origin
Nine Turns Heavenly Demon Skill (Emperor-Level Skill)
Blood Demon Sword (Saint-Level Weapon)
Star Shattering Finger (Saint-Level Combat Skill)]
[System Mall: Opened. The host can purchase items as needed.]
Qin Yan’s eyes widened as he took in the rewards.
The Supreme Demonic Body Origin, an emperor-level skill, and saint-level combat skills? These were treasures that could make anyone in the martial world salivate.
The Supreme Demonic Body was one of the rarest physiques, with physiques ranked from Spiritual, King, Saint, Supreme, to the legendary Chaos Physique. Qin Yan’s current Innate Demonic Body was a saint-level physique, already considered top-tier in this world. The Supreme Body, however, appeared only once in a century. As for the Chaos Body, it was so rare that encountering one was as likely as winning the ultimate lottery.
Even Xiao Fan, the so-called destined son of this world, only possessed a King Body at present. According to the original plot, he would rely on various fortuitous encounters to evolve into a Chaos Body over time.
If the Supreme Body Origin was astonishing, the Nine Turns Heavenly Demon Skill was mind-blowing. It was a complete emperor-level skill. In this world, no complete emperor-level skills existed, which was why no one had ever reached the legendary Martial Emperor realm. People knew higher levels existed above the Martial God stage, but incomplete skills prevented them from achieving it.
With the Nine Turns Heavenly Demon Skill, the Qin family could ascend to an unprecedented level, potentially becoming an Emperor Wu family and commanding the entire world to bow before them.
As for treasures like the Blood Demon Sword and the Star Shattering Finger, they were incredible but overshadowed by the Supreme Body Origin and the Nine Turns Heavenly Demon Skill.
“I’ve struck gold!” Qin Yan thought, his heart racing. He couldn’t help but feel relieved that Xiao Fan didn’t possess a system. Competing against a system-backed protagonist would have been a nightmare, as such systems were inherently overpowered and defied logic.
Taking a deep breath to steady himself, Qin Yan said, “Open the System Mall.”
As the mall interface appeared, his breathing grew heavier. The treasures listed were overwhelming:
[Chaos Creation Body: 100,000,000 Luck Value]
[Chaos Demon Body: 100,000,000 Luck Value]
[God-Breaking Pill: 9,999,999 Luck Value (Increases probability of breaking through to Emperor Wu by 50%)]
[…]
A note appeared: [First-time purchases receive a 10% discount.]
Each item on the list was a rare treasure. Acquiring even one of these could change a person’s destiny. However, Qin Yan quickly realized that the most valuable items were far beyond his current reach. For now, he decided to save his luck points and aim for something practical, like a God-Breaking Pill, which could help his grandfather Qin Qi achieve Emperor Wu status.
“With Grandpa as an Emperor Wu, my backing will be even stronger, and I can act without restraint,” Qin Yan thought.
After storing the system rewards in the system space, a new prompt appeared:
[Integrate the Supreme Demonic Body Origin?]
Qin Yan didn’t hesitate.
“Yes,” he responded.
There was no point in holding onto something so valuable. Strengthening himself immediately was the wisest choice.
The moment he made his decision, a warm current surged into his body. The Supreme Body Origin began merging with his Innate Demonic Body. No—it wasn’t just merging; it was devouring it. The Supreme Demonic Body Origin consumed the Innate Demonic Body Origin like prey, initiating a profound transformation.
As the process unfolded, Qin Yan felt his physique evolve. The changes unleashed an overwhelming aura that radiated outward, growing more intense with every passing moment.
A demonic shadow emerged from Qin Yan’s body. At first, it was roughly the size of an ordinary person, but it grew larger and larger until it towered at an astonishing height of 100 meters. The massive figure tilted its head back as if roaring at the heavens, but no sound came out. Instead, waves of energy radiated from it. Anyone touched by these waves felt an overwhelming sense of awe, compelling them to kneel and worship.
Above the shadow, a blood moon appeared, surrounded by countless smaller demons. These creatures knelt in reverence to the towering shadow as though it were the very embodiment of the devil itself.
The commotion naturally alarmed the Qin family. Yun Qing rushed outside, her face filled with worry as she saw the spectacle.
“This… this is Yan’er’s residence! What’s happening?” she exclaimed.
Before she could say more, Qin Zhan appeared like a streak of lightning. He stopped abruptly, his eyes flickering with surprise as he took in the scene. “This… Xiao Yan has awakened the Supreme Demonic Body.”
Yun Qing froze in shock, her eyes wide. “The Supreme Demonic Body?” she repeated, trying to process what she had just heard.
Initially stunned, her expression quickly shifted to joy.
Her son’s evolution from the Holy Body to the Supreme Body was beyond her wildest expectations.
The Supreme Body was a legendary physique—one that practically guaranteed ascension to Martial God status, provided there were no accidents. Qin Yan’s future in martial arts now seemed limitless.
However, Qin Zhan’s expression turned serious as he detected something in the air. His brows furrowed with concern.
Aside from himself, there were two other Martial Saints in the capital. The phenomenon caused by Qin Yan’s awakening was bound to attract their attention. If they discovered Qin Yan’s Supreme Body, there was no telling what underhanded schemes they might try against him.
Deciding quickly, Qin Zhan released the full force of his Martial Saint aura, enveloping the entire night sky in a radiant, bloody glow.
The oppressive energy masked the area around Qin Yan, making it appear as though Qin Zhan had simply lost control of his power during the night. Anyone investigating would be misled and unlikely to suspect the real cause.
As expected, the two Martial Saints—Wang Chang and Jiang Mingqing—who had been approaching from a distance, hesitated when they felt Qin Zhan’s aura.
After a moment’s pause, they turned and retreated, deciding it wasn’t worth the risk to intervene.
More than ten minutes passed before the strange vision around Qin Yan faded.
Slowly, he opened his eyes. The transformation left him with a profound sense of change. He felt his body brimming with newfound strength, far beyond what it had been before. His capacity to hold energy had also grown significantly. The current him was on an entirely different level compared to his previous self.
If he were to face his earlier self in combat, he could easily defeat ten of his old selves without breaking a sweat.
As Qin Yan marveled at the sheer power of the Supreme Body, his ambition grew. This was only the beginning. Now, more than ever, he resolved to pursue an even greater goal: acquiring the legendary Chaos Body, a physique far more powerful than the Supreme Body.
