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

[Gradually, you noticed the energy contained in the flesh essence of the royal clan Demon Emperors showed some minor differences.][Although the gap in the contained energy was small, you secretly guessed that it might be related to the purity of the Demon Race's bloodline.]

[That year, you slew more than a dozen royal clan Demon Emperors, and your strength further increased.]

[In the thirteenth year, the number of royal clan Demon Emperors who fell by your hand had neared a hundred and eighty.]

[Gradually, the number of Demon Emperors coming to challenge you grew fewer, and you knew it was because too many had died; these royal clan Demon Emperors had also grown wiser.]

[Fortunately, every now and then, a pair of foolish, young Demon Emperors would come to challenge you, so your supply of flesh essence remained sufficient.]

[In the fourteenth year, aside from fighting, you spent your days in cultivation. Although life was monotonous, the improvement in your strength was visible to the naked eye.]

[Your Body Refinement Cultivation Level grew higher and higher, and you could feel that you were not far from the ninth level of the Divine Strength Realm.]

[In the fifteenth year, with a sufficient supply of flesh essence, you finally broke through to become a Cultivator at the ninth level of the Divine Strength Realm!]

[However, what troubled you was the decreasing number of royal clan Demon Emperors challenging you, and the flesh essence you had stored was becoming insufficient.]

[Having no choice, you had to resort to reverse psychology, boldly claiming that the royal clan Demon Emperors were nothing but chickens and that even taking on two Demon Emperors at once would be a cinch for you!]

[Your tactic successfully worked, and the originally quiet Demon Race became active again, at the same time, they were extremely angry.]

[You made it onto the Demon Race's bounty list, and even Legendary Demon Beasts wanted to assassinate you.]

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

Su Xing, seeing this, chuckled and shook his head:

"Sigh, the simulated me is really reckless, truly fearless of death!"

"Fighting two royal clan Demon Emperors alone, ordinary Cultivators at the ninth level of Divine Strength Realm might not manage... but I have comprehended Sword Intent, so it should be no problem!"

Su Xing felt somewhat envious of his simulated self, who could completely let loose.

Unlike the real Su Xing, who, despite his strength, had to lie low.

"Sigh, when my strength is enough to suppress everything in this world, I must show off properly in front of everyone!"

Su Xing thought to himself, his gaze turning to the simulation panel.

[In the sixteenth year, your reverse psychology tactic was successful.]

[Within two months, two royal clan Demon Emperors came to challenge you. You fought with the two Demon Emperors for one day and one night, ultimately slaying both and reaping a large batch of flesh essence.]

[Afterward, you spread the message that these royal clan Demon Emperors were not strong enough, and you longed for opponents of more value!] Sёarᴄh the NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

[Your actions thoroughly enraged the Demon Race, and within a short period, dozens of royal clan Demon Emperors lined up to challenge you.]

[Your heart almost burst with joy, and you didn't refuse, accepting them all!]

[That year, you slew dozens of Demon Emperors, harvesting a large amount of flesh essence.]

[With an adequate supply of flesh essence, you were not in a hurry to kill these royal clan Demon Emperors but spent your days engrossed in cultivation.]

[In the seventeenth year, your actions incurred the grudge of the Demon Race, and that year, you were subjected to multiple assassination attempts from Human Race spies, Descending Sect traitors, and others.]

[Fortunately, your superior strength, coupled with Luo Shuying's personal protection, meant you were unharmed.]

[Thus, in the following years, you kept a lower profile, and every day, apart from cultivating, you would only kill enemies on the walls of Demon-Subduing Pass, hastening the digestion of the Flesh Essence.]

[In the twentieth year, after three years of quietude, a Legendary Demon Beast unexpectedly set its sights on you!]

[That day, as usual, you stood on the ramparts of Demon-Subduing Pass facing the enemy, and as you were beheading a Demon King, a dark shadow suddenly burst out from the darkness.]

[The shadow moved incredibly fast, and you couldn't react in time, its sharp claws slashed across your chest, instantly shredding flesh and leaving a bone-deep wound.]

[Seeing that a single strike hadn't finished you off, the Legendary Demon Beast seemed surprised and immediately lunged at you again with its claws.]

[In the critical moment, you could only grit your teeth and unleash a Sword Intent, barely managing to fend off the Legendary powerhouse.]

[Just as you were about to flee, you discovered that your wound was rapidly rotting, and a wave of dizziness nearly rendered you unable to stand.]

[Before you passed out, you caught a glimpse of Luo Shuying's anxious expression.]

[When you woke up again, you were lying on a sickbed with Jin Congxue and Luo Shuying standing by your side.]

[Your condition wasn't very good, but fortunately, your life was not in danger.]

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

[Luo Shuying told you that the Shadow Tribe, one of the ten Royal Clans of the Demon Race, excels in assassination and concealment, possessing the ability to travel through shadows.]

[Moreover, the claws of the Shadow Tribe carry a potent poison, to which almost any Martial Emperor would instantly succumb.]

[But you, miraculously, had survived.]

[Afterwards, Luo Shuying handed you a ring, telling you that the Legendary member of the Shadow Tribe had been killed by her and other Legendary powerhouses of Demon-Subduing Pass.]

[Knowing you needed Flesh Essence, she had frozen the Flesh Essence of that Legendary member of the Shadow Tribe, and it was now inside the ring.]

Su Xing's eyebrows knitted tightly but soon relaxed.

"Demon Race... So, above the hundred Great Clans, there are also Royal Clans?"

"I'm afraid those Royal Clans are indeed the true elite powerhouses of the Demon Race!"

Su Xing understood that the power of the Legendary Shadow Tribe was unquestionably strong.

And the reason Su Xing could withstand the ambush of the Shadow Tribe was not only because of the robust physical body of a Body Refinement Cultivator.

More importantly, it was Su Xing's talent, the Descendant of Shennong!

The Descendant of Shennong, with a simple farming talent, possessed a rare resistance to poison, likely the precious toxicity resistance that saved Su Xing's life!

"Sigh, indeed, one mustn't be too arrogant!"

Su Xing exhaled and said,

"Even if I've reached the ninth level of the Divine Strength Realm in the simulation, virtually invincible below the Legendary level, if faced with a life-risking attack from a Legendary Demon Beast, it's still a perilously narrow escape!"

"And it's a good thing it was the Shadow Tribe. Had it been any other Legendary Demon Beast, and had they torn me apart on the spot, I would have truly been beyond saving!"

Su Xing slightly shook his head but then the corners of his mouth curled up a bit.

"However, the greater the storm, the more valuable the fish!"

"The Flesh Essence of a Legendary Demon Beast... sst, it should be enough to let me break through to the Great Perfection of Divine Strength Realm, right?"
