Chapter 199: Chapter 149: 500 Million Energy, Assassination from Legends! (5k)_3

[Gradually, you discovered that the energy contained in the flesh essence of the royal demon emperors varied.]

[Although the energy difference was not significant, you secretly speculated that this might be related to the purity of the demon race’s bloodline.]

[That year, you slew more than a dozen royal demon emperors, further enhancing your strength.]

[By the thirteenth year, the number of royal demon emperors who had fallen by your hands had nearly reached one hundred and eighty.]

[Gradually, fewer and fewer demon emperors came to challenge you. You knew this was because the high death toll had made these royal demon emperors more cautious.]

[But fortunately, from time to time, there were still a couple of reckless demon emperors who came to challenge you, so your flesh essence was still sufficient.]

[In the fourteenth year, you did nothing but fight and cultivate every day. Although the days were dull, your strength increased visibly.]

[Your body refinement cultivation level grew higher and higher. You could feel that you were not far from the ninth level of the Divine Strength Realm.]

[In the fifteenth year, with ample flesh essence, you finally broke through to the ninth level of the Divine Strength Realm!]

[But it troubled you that fewer and fewer royal demon emperors challenged you, and the stock of flesh essence you had accumulated was running low.]

[With no other choice, you resorted to the method of provocation: You claimed that the royal demon emperors were just weaklings, and that you could easily handle two demon emperors at once!]

[Your provocation successfully took effect. The previously subdued demon race became active again, and they were extremely angry.]

[You appeared on the demon race’s bounty list, and even legendary demons sought to assassinate you.]

[But you did not care at all; you only wanted to obtain more flesh essence and break through to the Great Perfection of the Divine Strength Realm as soon as possible.]

Su Xing saw this, smiled slightly, and shook his head, saying,

“Sigh, the version of me in the simulator is really reckless. Not afraid of death at all!”

“Fighting two royal demon emperors alone – an ordinary ninth-level cultivator of the Divine Strength Realm might not manage it... but I’ve comprehended sword intent, so it shouldn’t be a problem!”

Su Xing felt a bit envious of his simulated self, who could let go completely.

Unlike the real Su Xing, who, despite his strong strength, could only choose to lie low.

[Luo Shuying told you that you had been unconscious for more than a month, and that the legendary demon beast that had ambushed you was from the Shadow Tribe!]

[Luo Shuying explained that the Shadow Tribe was one of the ten royal clans of the demon race, specializing in assassinations and concealment, with the ability to move through shadows.]

[Moreover, the Shadow Tribe’s claws were poisonous, and an ordinary martial emperor almost certainly would have died upon contact.]

[But you, miraculously, survived.]

[Then, Luo Shuying handed you a ring, telling you that the legendary member of the Shadow Tribe had been killed by her and the legendary experts of the Demon-Subduing Pass.]

[Knowing you needed flesh essence, Luo Shuying had the legendary Shadow Tribe member’s flesh essence frozen and stored in this ring for you.]

Su Xing saw this, his brows furrowing slightly before relaxing.

“The demon race... above the hundred royal clans, there are the royal tribes?”

“I fear that those royal tribes are the true elite and powerful beings of the demon race!”

Su Xing understood that the legendary member of the Shadow Tribe was undoubtedly strong.

And the reason Su Xing could withstand the Shadow Tribe’s assassination was not just due to his powerful physical body as a body refinement cultivator.

More importantly, it was due to his talent, being a descendant of Shennong!

Being a descendant of Shennong, a farming talent, surprisingly granted rare poison resistance, which probably saved Su Xing’s life!

“Sigh, as expected, one shouldn’t be too arrogant!”

Su Xing sighed, saying,

“Even though the simulated me was already at the ninth level of the Divine Strength Realm, practically invincible below the legendary level, facing a life-sacrificing assassination by a legendary demon beast would still be a narrow escape from death!”

“Fortunately, it was the Shadow Tribe. If it had been a different legendary demon beast, I might have been torn apart and truly dead!”

Su Xing shook his head slightly but soon his lips curled up.

“But the greater the waves, the more precious the fish!”

“The flesh essence of a legendary demon beast... hiss, it should be enough for me to break through to the Great Perfection of the Divine Strength Realm, right?”
