One Pound Meat, One More Attribute Point

Chapter 375: 309: Imperial Bloodline, People from Central State

The young demon descendant named Auris halted his steps and did not continue to pursue.

But he turned around with a calm gaze toward the elder behind him and said, "Elder, this was the first prey I encountered upon descending to this realm, returning to our ancestral land. It is of great significance to me. I wish to craft a ritual vessel from his skull to console our ancestors and do not want to let him escape so easily."

"Hmm, you make a good point," the elder replied.

After a moment, the elder said, "But there are more important tasks you must attend to right now, and try to avoid revealing your whereabouts as much as possible. Stirring up trouble will be detrimental to our next moves."

"Very well..." Seeing the determination in Auris’s eyes, the elder sighed.

"Aguduo, Snow."

He called two names, and behind him, from the void, the figures of a male and a female appeared.

They stepped forward, arriving in front of Auris and the elder, placed their right hands over their chests, bowed their heads, and knelt respectfully on the ground, "Elder, Hunting Master Auris."

These two individuals,

The man was tall and solid, his skin rough as though carved from stone.

His body was bulging with muscles, with an additional two robust arms extending out from his high-raised scapulas.

The woman had a curvy figure with well-defined features. She wore leather that covered only the essential parts, leaving much of her smooth, delicate skin exposed to the air, shimmering with dark and beautiful patterns. Her hair was pink, slightly curled, hiding two dark horns within.

The woman always wore a joyful smile, her aura seductive, as if she stepped right out of a picture book.

From the outside, demon descendants were not much different from humans.

However, in their society, many bloodlines existed. These bloodlines manifested in various unique mutations. Each lineage represented a set of talents and divine skills.

Based on the strength of these talents, bloodlines were classified into different levels: common, general, king, and emperor.

The rarer and more powerful the bloodline, the harder it was to produce offspring.

The pair kneeling before Auris possessed king-level bloodlines, were powerful warriors, and acted as the elder’s trusted subordinates.

"Did you hear what Auris just said?" the elder asked while holding his staff, his aged face shrouded in shadow, his voice cold, "Bring back the head of the one who fled just now, and remember to be quick, try as much as possible to avoid leaking any information."

"Understood." The muscular Aguduo responded.

The female demon descendant named Snow licked her lips, seductively saying, "The lad just now seemed like a delightful prey."

"Go now, do not delay too long," the elder waved his hand.

The pair rose, then bowed respectfully to Auris once more, before melting into a pool of shadows and vanishing in an instant.

"What do you think of this arrangement?" the elder asked Auris, seeking his opinion.

"Somewhat regrettable, but acceptable," Auris nodded slightly, even in front of the elder, as a strong young-generation member, he often wore a look of arrogance. This was partly due to the strength he already possessed, and partly due to the enormous potential his powerful bloodline offered.

The Hunting Master for this mission, Auris,

Not only harbored emperor-level bloodline in his body but also had intertwined multiple lesser king-level bloodlines.

"Good," the elder nodded, "Since that’s the case, let’s discuss the next steps of our plan."

He held his staff in one hand and suddenly raised the other.

Dust scattered beneath his feet, and the invisible air turned into a transparent barrier, lifting the two into the air, swiftly elevating them above the clouds. ???????

Swish!

The elder pointed forward.

The clouds in front of their eyes stirred wildly and dispersed to either side in an instant.

The space in front of them expanded as if out of thin air, and their gazes traveled over thousands of kilometers. They passed over mountains, rivers, lakes, and finally settled on a shattered plain. This vast plain was dotted with many cities, all now reduced to ruins.

Collapsed buildings, mountains floating in midair, bodies torn into pieces, and ancient warriors nailed to city walls.

Even after millennia,

The traces of that brutal war still lingered on this battlefield.

"Why are you showing me this?" Auris tightened his fists, looking up at the elder standing beside him.

"As you see, this was once our race’s last refuge on this land. Back then, our royal city had fallen, and countless powerful beings had perished. Even many powerful bloodlines were completely slaughtered, erased from history," the elder seemed to recall the horrific scenes from the past, sighed, and continued, "When we retreated to this sanctuary, we no longer had the capability to fight off the Descenders. The remaining demon kings prepared to retreat to the Eternal Heaven, seeking new opportunities."

"Yet even so, those Descenders were not willing to let us go, resolved to exterminate us completely."

"Led by the Sin Dragon, a host of elite human warriors attacked, and we had no further retreat, only despair. In the end, we emerged victorious, the Sin Dragon was slain, but the cost was extremely grievous. Of the four arks prepared for escape, three were destroyed, leaving only the Orokin Ark to barely make it out."

"Many ancestors perished in this last battle, some of whom had maximized their bloodline potential, fighting dragons amid the torrential blood rain."

The elder spoke calmly, "Their physical bodies died thousands of years ago, but their war spirits still linger. As the echoes in Eternal Heaven deepen, these war spirits might reappear. By merging and absorbing them, you can undergo a transformation."

"Yes," Auris nodded, speaking calmly, "I will not disappoint the gifts left by our ancestors."

From beneath the shadow of the hood, a barely noticeable smile appeared on the face of the elder, but it quickly vanished. He continued, "There is another matter that I need to entrust to you.

Though the malevolent dragon has perished, its corpse remains.

I have noticed that some human powerhouses have already begun to search and excavate; it has already brought enough suffering to our kind, and it must not continue. You must find the remains of the malevolent dragon, bring them back, or completely destroy them. Just ensure that they do not fall into the hands of the human race’s powerhouses."

"I will get it done," Auris, whose expression had been indifferent, suddenly became animated. He licked his lips, excitedly saying, "This sounds like it could kill many people, which I like very much. I was born for this."

"Those people are not simple," the elder cautioned.

Auris, clearly not taking this to heart, dismissed it with disdain, "The Descenders of the past have already departed, and those who remain are merely the deteriorated ones they created. We were defeated by the Descenders, but that doesn’t mean we should take these deteriorants seriously."

"Well, let’s hope so," the elder hummed lightly, observing Auris’s spirited demeanor.

He shook his head and said no more.

...

Su Heng returned to Baihua County, the Demon Suppression Tower.

This time, he didn’t continue his seclusion but stood in a recently excavated underground chamber, caught in deep thought.

His current level of cultivation had reached the limits of Heavenly Deceit, but due to his overwhelmingly powerful force and extraordinarily robust physique. Advancing to Earth Immortal was not an easy task for Su Heng. In other words, for the first time in his cultivation journey, he encountered the issue of being unable to break through his current realm.

In such a situation.

The priority was to find a way to improve his spiritual power.

He still needed to continue rapidly accumulating attribute points, even if his realm remained at Heavenly Deceit.

Mere increases in body weight constituted an all-around enhancement for Su Heng, and the effects were quite noticeable. As for the attribute points gained in this process, Su Heng did not plan to save them; he intended to use them all.

As for their specific purposes, Su Heng had already decided.

There were mainly two aspects.

The first was to retrain the previous Cultivation Techniques to further improve the anomaly levels of his realm.

Muscles, bones, blood, organs.

And the brain region development level after entering Heavenly Deceit.

These fundamental attribute enhancements meant further growth in Su Heng’s physique.

From just starting his cultivation to now becoming renowned, Su Heng was able to easily surpass realms and battle powerful enemies.

A powerful physique had always been his confidence.

As for the other aspect, it was to condense new Divine Skill imprints from the demon descendants.

The Heavenly Demon State had brought Su Heng great surprises, with immense power; and as he acquired more Divine Skills, he found it easier to suppress and gain advantages against diverse enemies during battle.

Previously, while battling with the gods of the Blood Realm, Su Heng had already tasted success. But he realized that there was still significant development potential in the Heavenly Demon State, a veritable unexplored territory worth dedicating time and resources to deeply explore.

Furthermore, it was about time someone was sent to investigate Dragon Abyss.

Or, after finishing up here, he might as well make the journey himself.

Thus, Su Heng organized his thoughts, delegated the tasks. Once he had managed these assorted affairs, the first batch of vast resources and scriptures obtained from the three great Esoteric Sects in Skull Plain was sorted by Meng Huan and sent over directly.

In the underground chamber under the Demon Suppression Tower.

Su Heng was flipping through the monastic scriptures left by the high monks, swallowing a large amount of cultivation resources to accumulate attribute points. However, this period did not last long; it was just about a day or two when Su Heng felt he had hardly even gotten into the rhythm, and suddenly, a knock sounded.

"Hmm?" Su Heng looked up and pressed a switch.

Boom rumble!

Amidst a loud grinding noise.

The chamber’s massive door slowly descended, revealing the slender figure of Li Hongxiu in front of Su Heng.

Li Hongxiu had been following Su Heng for some time, and this was the first time she had actively interrupted during the process of cultivation; it must be something important.

True enough, Li Hongxiu’s gaze fell on Su Heng, and she softly said, "A person has arrived in Baihua County, saying they wish to meet you."

"A person?" Su Heng frowned slightly, "What’s the background of this person?"

"That person said… they are a subordinate of the Third Prince," Li Hongxiu answered.
