One Pound Meat, One More Attribute Point

Human martial artists value innate perception and bone structure, but fortuitous encounters and diligent effort are equally important after birth. Many martial artists believe that their fate is in their own hands, not dictated by heaven. Even if a dangerous secret realm is a matter of life and death, they’d dare to roll up their sleeves and charge in to seek treasures.

If your head gets a scar as big as the mouth of a bowl, in eighteen years, you’ll be a hero again.

But Demon Descendant society is different.

The strength of Demon Descendants comes from their bloodlines, and the strength of their bloodlines almost determines the extent to which they can cultivate.

One advantage of this is the ability to quickly identify talents, concentrate resources on nurturing them, ensuring a higher lower limit. However, the downside is a lack of flexibility. Power is locked in place, and for those Descendants with higher-level bloodlines, ordinary Demon Descendants are not their kin, but slaves to be driven at will.

Aguduo and Snow’s life and death did not concern Auris in the slightest.

But he was very angry that Solban had escaped.

Auris’s cold gaze turned to the Great Elder, his voice carrying a hint of questioning.

The Great Elder’s brow furrowed with frustration, but now that they had already arrived at Dragon Abyss, they definitely couldn’t let Auris drop what he was doing to run around haphazardly. Moreover, sending more people… would be inappropriate. After all, it is the era of the human race, making too big of a commotion would not benefit their upcoming actions.

"Your current strength has not yet reached the level where you can do as you please," the Great Elder could only lower his voice, advising, "Wait until you merge with the war spirits left by our ancestors in Dragon Abyss, purify your bloodline, and complete your transformation. Then you will have the confidence to go out and slaughter."

Auris thought for a moment and accepted the Great Elder’s reasoning.

"What should I do?" Auris asked.

"It’s simple," the Great Elder let out a sigh of relief, a tired smile appearing on his aged face, "The ancestors of the Demon Descendants in Dragon Abyss fought tirelessly until the end of their lives, even until their last breath. If you want to earn the recognition of these ancestors, you must do the same."

"Do you see that..."

The Great Elder’s gaunt finger stretched forward, and a line of figures in white appeared in a deserted city below.

"Fight, hunt, keep severing the heads of those human powerhouses, and naturally, you will earn the acknowledgment of our ancestral spirits and merge with their strength."

"What’s the background of those people?"

Auris’s gaze landed on the person at the front.

That person had a tall and graceful stature, a jade belt hung around his waist, and he held a black long knife in his hand. He had an elegant demeanor and calm eyes that gave a sense of inscrutability. The Demon Descendants are inherently strong in spiritual power, and Auris was one of the best among them.

Although they were very far apart at that moment, and he merely glanced at that person, he still sensed a faint threat.

The Great Elder was not well-versed in the Seven States of Jiang E, but he had clearly done enough research on the powers around Chang Yue and Lin Jiang.

Almost without hesitation, he then said, "This person is named Jing Yun, the current first senior brother of Liuyun Mountain. Also an Earth Immortal, but much stronger than the one you met before."

"There are four great immortal mountains in the region of Chang Yue, namely Liuyun Mountain, Tai A Mountain, Dao Kan Mountain, and Putuo Mountain. The ancestors of these four mountains were human powerhouses who participated in the Battle of Dragon Abyss. Hence, the cultivation techniques they practice have certain restraining effects on Demon Descendants. When you face him later, you must remain cautious and vigilant."

"Understood," Auris licked his lips, "Since they are descendants of our ancestors’ sworn enemies, wouldn’t it be easier to earn the recognition of the ancestral spirits if I could kill them?"

"Of course," the Great Elder replied.

It was definitely not a coincidence that the two groups met here; rather, the Great Elder had deliberately planned to wait for them.

"In that case, what are we waiting for!" With both new grudges and old hatreds, Auris felt as if a pitch-dark fierce fire was expanding and exploding within his chest.

Roar!

He let out a long howl.

The pure physical strength shook the entire firmament, buzzing and trembling.

Streaks of crimson thunder exploded, shattering the stones hanging in the sky, falling down like a waterfall. Meanwhile, Auris extended a pair of bat-like pitch-black wings behind him and dived downwards, bringing an astonishing sense of oppression, and immediately charged towards a group from Liuyun Mountain.

Jing Yun had been cautiously observing the surrounding environment ever since he entered the city, sensing a faint crisis enveloping the area.

But he never expected the enemy to attack from the sky.

He suddenly looked up.

Upon seeing the rolling Demonic Qi emanating from Auris, his expression was shocked again.

"Demon Descendant!" His expression darkened, and then he sneered, "I didn’t expect this wretched place to be hiding a few rats; it’s my lucky chance!"

Swoosh!

Jing Yun raised his hand and swept with his knife, slashing towards the sky.

And Auris’s hands, turned into pitch-black metal, collided with Jing Yun’s long knife without hesitation.

...

...

...

Su Heng and Solban left the region of Jiang E and came to Bei Yue State in the northernmost part of Chang Yue.

Bei Yue State is King Qingyang’s fief, vast in territory and populous. The size of this state is roughly equivalent to combining Jiang State, Jiangbei State, and Liu State. Further north of Bei Yue State is Hunxi Mountain.

Hunxi Mountain, like Flame Mountain from Journey to the West, is surrounded by raging fires all year round, and various powerful demons lurk and grow within it.

If one is lucky enough, they might even encounter existences of the Demon God level.

In such a harsh environment, even Heavenly Deceit would be going to their doom entering it.
