I Secretly Develop Myself In The Demon World

“This means my strength, speed, and physique have all increased by 10%?”

His gaze fell on the Scorpio Battle Boots, and Su Nan’s eyes lit up. With the addition of three other divine artifacts that increased physique power, his overall physique power had now increased by 40%!

“Ten! I’ve now obtained ten of the Twelve Star Palace Artifacts, and only the last two are missing.”

Su Nan was very satisfied with the Star Palace Artifacts. These items combined were more powerful than a single divine weapon and didn’t require power to stimulate them.

Perhaps, these twelve Star Palace Artifacts were his greatest gains from the Twelve Zodiac.

He looked at his points again.

Yesterday, after redeeming the Soul-absorbing Lamp, Zhang Yang’s points were all used up. Luckily, he earned over fifty thousand points today.

Wang Nan also earned over fifty thousand points yesterday, plus the twenty thousand points left over from redeeming Ancient Demon Essence Blood, totaling over seventy thousand points. In a few days, he received another fifty thousand points, bringing his total to one hundred and twenty thousand!

That’s enough to redeem another drop of Ancient Demon Essence Blood.

Lang Thirteen arrived at the Star Palace Battlefield the latest yesterday and only earned over forty thousand points. The kills from today and yesterday were roughly the same, totaling eighty thousand points when combined.

“At this rate, each role could redeem another drop of Ancient Demon Essence Blood before the end of the Twelve Zodiac. We should have enough Xuan-level Ancient Demon Essence Blood.”

Time passes, and in the blink of an eye, another eight hours have passed.

According to the foreknowledge, in another four hours, Du Qiyuan should show up!

Luckily, by now, the transformation of the avatar is reaching its conclusion.

It’s already past midnight in the real world, and the game has refreshed.

He glanced at the tasks. Among the tasks of the three roles, Lang Thirteen’s task and Zhang Yang’s task remained unchanged, while only Wang Nan’s task had a new task added.

[Daily Task 1: Kill Du Qiyuan]

Task Difficulty: Four Star

“The task to kill Du Qiyuan has appeared, but unfortunately, my strength is still not up to par.”

In the foreknowledge, even with the help of three peak king-level paper puppets, they were not able to kill Du Qiyuan. Naturally, this task also cannot be completed in a short time.

“Master, I have succeeded in fulfilling my duty. This body has been successfully transformed!” Luo Yu, controlling the avatar, leaped out of Black Demon Lake, and his Divine Soul returned to his own body afterwards.

“Very good, you did well.” Su Nan nodded in satisfaction.

The avatar didn’t appear much different now, but his body was filled with demonic qi. Without the control of the Divine Soul, this demonic qi was pouring out uncontrollably.

Without needing to probe, Su Nan knew that the body of the avatar was now filled with a large amount of demonic qi. At this point, he dared not allow his Divine Soul to descend directly into the avatar.

With a thought, under his control, the Second Divine Soul descended into the avatar.

As the Second Divine Soul entered, the avatar, which was like a puppet, began to move.

Like a child with a new toy, the Second Divine Soul controlling the avatar was very curious about this body, lifting its head, kicking its feet.

After a while, it seemed to have had enough fun and finally grew accustomed to the body. It looked at Su Nan and said, “your majesty”.

Su Nan nodded,” Very well, from now on, you will be Wang Nan.”

The Second Divine Soul fused with the avatar. With the erosion of the demonic qi, Su Nan could clearly feel that the Second Divine Soul was gradually being influenced by the demonic qi. His thoughts began to change, becoming restless, and unsupposed thoughts began to surface.

Su Nan didn’t pay it any mind. It was inevitable that the Second Divine Soul would be influenced. As long as his own Divine Soul wasn’t affected, everything was not a problem.

The first step has been completed. The next thing to do is to cultivate.

Luo Yu said, “Master, to become one of the Demon Clan, the most important thing is to communicate with the Demon Abyss and establish a connection with it, leaving a mark in the Demon Abyss.”

“Demon Abyss? What is that?” Su Nan asked curiously.

The previous foreknowledge only told him to successfully cultivate the Demon Scripture with the avatar, and didn’t mention becoming a demon beast, so naturally, it didn’t tell him the specific steps to become a demon beast.

“The Demon Abyss is the birthplace of our Demon Clan. Legend has it that it has existed since the birth of Heaven and Earth. Only by establishing a connection with the Demon Abyss can our divine souls become immortal. Even if our flesh bodies are destroyed and divine souls shattered, the Demon Abyss will resurrect our demonic souls.”

“However, after each resurrection, we need to spend a certain amount of time in the Demon Abyss before we can leave and seize a new body. The stronger we are, the longer we have to wait. Moreover, each person can only resurrect ten times at most.”

“Ten times?” Su Nan was surprised, it reminded him of the revival mechanism of the players.

Each player can be resurrected twenty times, a mechanic somewhat similar to that of the Demon Abyss.

Luo Yu continued, “After learning about the peculiarities of the Demon Abyss, the powerful individuals of the ancient human clan studied and figured out the Sealing Demon Array. This array can sever our connection with the Demon Abyss. If we were killed within it, the Demon Abyss wouldn’t be able to resurrect us. Master must be careful in the future.”

Su Nan nodded and asked, “How can we establish a connection with the Demon Abyss?”

Luo Yu replied, “There are many ways to establish a connection with the Demon Abyss. For instance, consuming certain treasures infused with demonic Qi, practicing Demon Scripture, or even getting corroded by demonic Qi could potentially establish a connection with the Demon Abyss. But the method with the highest success rate is practicing the Demon Scripture.”

“However, the number of demon beasts that the Demon Abyss can birth is fixed – it can be less, but not more, at most only three thousand. Only when our Demon Clan’s population is less than three thousand do we have a chance to establish a connection with the Demon Abyss and leave a mark.”

“During ancient times, our Demon Clan’s population once dropped below one thousand. It’s still unknown how much we’ve recovered.”

“Dropped below one thousand?” Su Nan was shocked.

These demon beasts are powerful, plus they can resurrect ten times, so for the ancient human clan to reduce their numbers to just one thousand, Su Nan didn’t dare to imagine the price they had to pay to combat these demons.

No wonder they were taken advantage of by the Heavenly Race and Divine Race afterward.

“The current number of demon beasts shouldn’t have recovered to three thousand yet. I still have a chance.”

Apart from the demons suppressed in ancient times, there are indeed other demons in Dongchen State, such as the Demon God Palace, but their numbers are probably not high. At the very least, Su Nan hasn’t encountered many.

And he doesn’t know how many demons reside in the other twelve states, but they shouldn’t be too numerous.

Besides, not long ago in the Great Yu Imperial City, he completely obliterated a demon beast using the Art of Fate. That’s one spot, and only a dozen or so days have passed. It’s unlikely someone would have taken that spot already.

Thinking of this, Su Nan no longer hesitated and prepared to let his avatar start cultivating the Sky Demon Devouring God Sutra.

According to the cultivation method of the Sky Demon Devouring God Sutra, in order to reach the beginner’s level, one needed to baptize one’s body with a treasure imbued with violent demonic Qi.

To complete this step, an incredibly strong body and extraordinary healing ability were required.

If one’s body was insufficiently strong or the healing ability wasn’t sufficiently fast, the flesh would be directly corroded and ripped apart by the violent forces during the baptism.

The avatar satisfied both these conditions.

Su Nan took out the demonic blood for the avatar to start cultivating.

The avatar sat cross-legged, directly transforming the demonic blood into a blood mist that covered its entire body.

The moment the exploded demonic blood fell onto the avatar, a violent demonic Qi erupted, and it started corroding the avatar’s body like a strong acid.

Almost instantly, the avatar’s skin was burned through. However, just then, the avatar’s indestructible power from within its body kicked in, and the corroded body started rapidly healing.

Even so, the power of the demonic blood kept invading and corroding the avatar. Yet an unbelievable scene occurred. The avatar’s body was rapidly getting corroded and healed simultaneously, ultimately reaching a balance.

The avatar reacted swiftly, immediately operating the Demon Scripture, and began cultivating by utilizing the power of the demonic blood.

Seeing this, Luo Yu couldn’t help but ask, “Master, what Demon Scripture are you really cultivating?”

“Sky Demon Devouring God Sutra.”

“Sky Demon Devouring God Sutra?” Hearing this, Luo Yu was startled.

“What? You know about these ancient scriptures?” Su Nan asked.

Luo Yu paused before saying, “Master, I once heard that the Sky Demon Devouring God Sutra seems to have been created by a very powerful being who even managed to breakthrough to a level above God using this Demon Scripture.”

“A breakthrough to a level above God!” Su Nan was inwardly shocked, and his eyes lit up.

The bigger the origin of the Demon Scripture, the happier he naturally was.

However, what Luo Yu said next caused his heart to sink.
