I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 663 Crazy Devouring
Tu Shanqing rushed to the shelf and looked at the objects on the shelf with his eyes wide open.

"It is indeed a good treasure!"

Zhang Chen also stepped forward and looked at the things on the shelf. Then a hint of disappointment appeared in his eyes: "What a pity, the essence of those innate spiritual objects has been absorbed by the innate water god over the long years."

Zhang Chen casually picked up a piece of ore that was flowing with innate energy, but the innate energy flowing in the ore was only a wisp. As Zhang Chen picked it up, the innate energy dissipated and turned into an ordinary mundane object.

Zhang Chen was able to deduce the cause of the incident. It must be that during the great changes in heaven and earth, the innate water god could not withstand the changes in heaven and earth, and absorbed the innate essence of those innate things to preserve himself.

Tu Shan Qing held a innate holy medicine, but as soon as his palm touched the holy medicine, the herb turned into ashes, and only a wisp of innate energy dissipated in the air.

"Damn it! How could this happen?" Tu Shanqing's eyes showed a trace of unwillingness. He turned his gaze to the bottles and jars beside him. He picked up a jar and opened it. He saw a jar of clear water inside. "Strange, why did the innate water god put clear water in the jar?"

"Is there a possibility that the clear water was actually innate divine water tens of thousands of years ago, and later under the ravages of time, the essence within it escaped and was absorbed by the body of the innate water god?" Zhang Chen casually opened a jar and began to speak out his speculation.

The innate divine water in the jar has lost its medicinal properties. All its essence has been absorbed by the innate water god, leaving only ordinary water flow in the jar.

Tu Shan Qing was unwilling to give in, so he simply opened the jars one by one and swept the innate minerals and innate spiritual objects off the shelves. Unfortunately, they all turned into mundane objects.

“In this entire cave, the only valuable things are probably the body of the innate water god, the innate jade, and this operating formation.” Zhang Chen swept his eyes across the entire water palace, and finally set his sights on the water-blue light shield.

“By breaking the light shield, we can obtain the body of the Innate Water God, take his blood, usurp his authority, and we will have an incredible transformation.” The Great Immortal Huli looked at the platform where the Innate Water God was with burning eyes, then came to the front of the platform and slapped the water-blue light shield with one palm.

"Om~"

A divine light burst out from the water-blue light shield, which actually sent the Great Immortal Huli flying.

"This is impossible! Not only should my attack not have shaken the light shield, but it shouldn't have sent me flying." The Great Immortal Huli steadied his body in the air, a look of disbelief in his eyes.

"What is this light shield? Could it be a twelfth-level mystery?" Tu Shan Qing came forward to take a look.

"This light shield is not mysterious. It is the innate rhyme of Taoism that the innate water god possesses. The laws of water between heaven and earth are engraved in his flesh and blood. They automatically dissipate after his death, forming a protective light shield composed entirely of laws around him. This light shield possesses incredible power, and I'm afraid it has surpassed the twelfth level." The Great Freedom Demon whispered in Zhang Chen's ear.

A power beyond the twelfth order? Doesn't that mean that I can only guard the treasure mountain in vain?

The Great Immortal Huli came forward, and with an unwilling look on his face, he mobilized his magical powers again. The Gengjin energy in his fist burst out with a dazzling edge and smashed towards the light curtain.

"Bang~"

The light shield remained as still as a mountain, and the Great Immortal Huli was directly bounced away. His body flew backwards and hit the barrier behind him, falling down.

"What level of treasure is this? Even I can't shake it at all?" Huli Daxian climbed up with a shocked face, his eyes full of disbelief.

After hearing what the Great Immortal Huli said, Zhang Chen glanced around the platform and saw a large amount of experience points falling, which had piled up into a small mountain.

Zhang Chen walked around the stone platform and saw the golden finger screen flashing wildly in front of him:

[Pickup experience +199987]

[Pickup experience +990987]

[Pickup experience +19652]

[Pickup experience +114556]

[Pickup experience +52587]

[Pickup experience +52367]

……

Zhang Chen's experience value page was jumping wildly, and countless experience values ​​were quickly gathering. The information flow was so dense that Zhang Chen couldn't see it clearly. The information flow had turned into a boundless ocean at this time.

When the Gold Finger page stopped ticking, all the experience points were picked up by Zhang Chen, and then Zhang Chen's Gold Finger page refreshed again:
【Name: Zhang Chen】

[20 new skills (level 0): Wood Element Authority*Reverse Peanut Seed*Plant Body (10000000000/)]

[Note 1: Body of Plants and Trees - can transform its own body into plant and tree attributes]

[Points: 10000000000] (PS: In order to avoid excessive word count, I will reduce the space required and only write the key skills and points)

Not more, not less, Zhang Chen's experience value is exactly 10 billion, which is enough for him to enhance his own authority of the Wood Element.

Seeing that the experience points were enough, Zhang Chen didn't think twice and directly clicked on the points. For him, obtaining the vitality of plants and trees to supplement his lifespan was the most critical means.

【20新技能（三阶）：木行权柄*逆花生种*草木之身（0/10000000000)】———>【20新技能（四阶）：木行权柄*逆花生种*草木之身（0/100000000000)】

Then the cheat page refreshed, revealing new skills:
[20 new skills (Level 0): Wood Element Authority*Reverse Peanut Planting*Plant Body*Rooted in the Earth (100000000000/)]

[Note 1: Rooted in the earth, as long as you are buried in the earth, even if only a piece of skin, a strand of hair, or a drop of blood remains, you can absorb the energy of the earth and revive again]

Zhang Chen's gaze fell on the new skill "Rooting in the Earth" and a hint of bitterness appeared in his eyes. It's not that this magical power of "Rooting in the Earth" is not good, but that this magical power of "Rooting in the Earth" is too good. No matter if one is cut into pieces or only a strand of hair is left, one can be resurrected. But this is not the lifespan he wants.

No matter how good the supernatural power is, it is not as good as the most urgent need. Just like a meal of gold, no matter how good it is, it is not as good as someone giving you a bowl of rice when you are about to starve to death.

Of course, some readers may ask, wouldn’t it be enough for Zhang Chen to bury himself in the soil and then resurrect before his death?
But in fact, it is not that simple, because this resurrection by taking root in the earth has two limitations. First, it is impossible to predict how long the resurrection process will take. Second, this resurrection is like grass and trees, and it must have an innate lifespan that has not been exhausted. If the innate lifespan is exhausted, it is like a dead tree, and no matter how you cultivate it, it cannot be resurrected.

This kind of resurrection can only be used when Zhang Chen's life span has not yet been exhausted.

"What a pity, it's not the magical power I want. I hope that after I devour the body of the innate water god, I can gain hundreds of billions of experience points and upgrade this skill. I wonder if I can get the skill of taking plants and trees and upgrading them into longevity that I want next time." Zhang Chen muttered secretly in his heart.

Over there, the Great Immortal Hu Li smashed the light shield twice, but it did not shake the light shield at all. Knowing that he could not break the defense of the light shield, he looked at Zhang Chen: "Boy, do you have a way to break this light shield? If you can't break this light shield, we can only return empty-handed."

Zhang Chen looked at the blue light shield after hearing this, and some ideas came to his mind: "Let me try."

Zhang Chen stretched out his hand and pressed towards the blue light shield, with a thought flashing in his mind: "I don't know if my devouring power can devour the rules emitted by the Innate Water God."

As his palm gently pressed on the light shield, the light shield seemed to sense that the force of Zhang Chen's pressure did not pose any threat, so it did not bounce Zhang Chen's palm away.

The next moment, a sharp mouthpart burst out from Zhang Chen's palm and slowly pierced into the light shield.

In its devouring eyes, the light shield was three feet thick, with countless threads of law flowing inside it, and its own innate mosquito mouthparts slowly pierced into the gaps where the threads of law flowed. Then, the innate mosquito's mouthparts suddenly took a big sip, and then a vast amount of energy was poured in, and was instantly transformed by the golden finger layout.

[Points +10000]

[Points +10086]

[Points +1121121]

[Points +7520]

……

As expected of him being the innate water god, the energy he provided was terrifying. When Zhang Chen's skills were activated, the energy he absorbed was unprecedentedly turbulent and powerful.

Tushan Qing and Huli Daxian stood quietly beside Zhang Chen, watching Zhang Chen standing in front of the water god's light shield, stroking the light shield without saying a word, but did not dare to disturb him. Instead, they silently observed Zhang Chen's movements, wanting to peek into Zhang Chen's methods and abilities, hoping that Zhang Chen could achieve success.

Time passed by little by little, one hour, two hours, three hours... one day, two days, three days...

Although Huli Daxian and Tushan Qing didn't know what Zhang Chen was doing, they could see that the light shield, which was originally azure blue, was gradually dimming.

The two of them looked at the light shield whose luster was gradually dimming, and knew that Zhang Chen was using some tricks, and they couldn't help but look at Zhang Chen with admiration again.

"This kid has such great skills, it's incredible!" Hu Li Daxian looked at the gradually dimming light shield with a lingering fear on his face.

Tu Shanqing standing by also opened his mouth wide: "Too weird! It's absolutely too weird! I have never met such a weird person!"

"This kid actually managed to do something that even a great monk like you couldn't do. What are his origins?" Tu Shanqing's voice was filled with horror.

The Great Immortal Hu Li did not reply, because this was what he wanted to ask in his heart. Zhang Chen was really too weird. Even though the Great Immortal Hu Li was knowledgeable and had seen countless geniuses and people with extraordinary means over tens of thousands of years, he was still not as good as one finger of Zhang Chen.

"Don't offend this kid in the future. If you offend him, I can't help you!" Huli Daxian warned Tushan Qing.
