I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 678 Crazy Upgrade
Zhang Chen originally thought that the power of the curse had been removed by himself, but who knew that the power of the curse would emerge again and reappear in Zhang Chen's soul.

Zhang Chen was furious when he saw this scene: "What a terrible curse! Even my righteous golden light can't completely remove it. This is the first time I have encountered such a situation."

The next moment, the golden light of the righteous god burst out and rushed towards the power of curse again.

Facing the golden light of the righteous god, the power of the curse was indeed vulnerable, but as long as the golden light of the righteous god receded, the power of the curse would re-emerge like weeds and permeate Zhang Chen's soul.

"Incredible! Where does this curse power come from? It can't even do anything to my upgraded golden light of a righteous god?" Zhang Chen's eyes were filled with fear. He suddenly realized that he had underestimated the power of this curse.

But the more difficult the power of the curse is, the more Zhang Chen must get rid of it, otherwise it will leave hidden dangers in the future. Haven’t you seen many strong people die inexplicably, without knowing why, and they died in a daze before they even knew what happened.

Looking at the curse power that could not be extinguished by wildfire but revived by the spring breeze, Zhang Chen's eyes showed a hint of horror. He made up his mind to continue upgrading the golden light of the righteous god and to completely eliminate the curse power today.

As Zhang Chen thought about it, the numbers on the Gold Finger page jumped and changed, and the huge points evaporated directly:

【1技能（七阶）：正神金光（0/2000000000）】——->【1技能（八阶）：正神金光（0/20000000000）】

Then the information is refreshed:

[Skill 1 (Level 0): Golden Light of the True God (20000000000/)]

【Note 1: Wherever the golden light passes, the tenth-level evil spirits will retreat. 】

[Note 2: Mysterious runes are derived from your righteous divine light. You can imprint the runes on everything and break the one-day retention feature.]

[Note 3: Your righteous golden light has a suppressive attribute. Attaching it to a sealed container can temporarily seal the tenth-level evil spirits.]

[Note 4: Your Godly Golden Light has the ability to break curses. As long as the power of the curse does not exceed the tenth level, it can be resolved.]

【Note 5: Your golden light can be as big as or small as Sumeru.】

Zhang Chen's eyes fell on the size of the Sumeru of the True God's Golden Light, and a look of sudden realization appeared in his eyes: "I can actually control the size of my True God's Golden Light."

However, the power of the golden light of the righteous god still has not increased, and it cannot completely eliminate the power of the curse.

But at this time, the points required to upgrade the True God Golden Light have reached 20 billion, and Zhang Chen now only has a little over 11.7 billion points left. How can he get the 20 billion points?
So at this moment Zhang Chen's face suddenly turned ugly, and his eyes were full of disbelief. He hadn't removed the curse yet, but the Golden Light of the God couldn't continue to upgrade?
He has already realized that this cursed power is definitely a big trouble!
"I forgot to ask the princess about the origin of this curse." Zhang Chen's eyes showed a serious look.

The origin of the curse power was far beyond Zhang Chen's expectations. His own golden light could restrain the tenth-order evil spirits and suppress the tenth-order curse. Doesn't that mean that the power of this curse is essentially higher than the tenth order? It's just that the opponent is living in my body in a parasitic way, but because my golden light is endless, the curse power is no match?
Think again about those who were cursed in the tomb. When everyone entered the tomb of the imperial daughter, who was not contaminated by the power of the curse?
I have the golden light of a righteous god and the power to suppress, but it is still like this. What about those people now?

"It's not good! It seems like it has taken root in my soul. It will spring up again if the spring breeze blows and the wildfire cannot burn it out."

Zhang Chen muttered to himself, "This curse is very strong, like an immortal cockroach!"

However, he has already upgraded the Golden Light of the God to the eighth level. To upgrade it to the ninth level, he needs 20 billion points. Where can Zhang Chen find so many points?

"Even if I know it's a problem, I'm temporarily unable to crack it. Let me take a look at the other skills first." Zhang Chen could only divert his attention at this time. 20 billion is not a small number. Zhang Chen certainly can't waste points casually.

The second skill, Dragon Qi, can be upgraded, but it takes 200 million points to upgrade the second skill from level 5 to level 6, which is really scary. Moreover, the second skill is a group control skill and does not enhance the combat power of a single unit.

But if it is upgraded, Zhang Chen's beast-controlling technique will reach the sixth level. In the future, most of the monsters in the wilderness will be turned into slaves when they face Zhang Chen, and their life and death will be in his hands.

A sixth-level expert, whether among humans or monsters, can be considered a mid-level expert.

The monsters below the sixth level were slaughtered by Zhang Chen at will. What kind of terrifying skill was this? It was a natural nemesis of the monster race, but it did not increase the combat power of a single monster, which was not what Zhang Chen needed, so Zhang Chen chose to give up.

Zhang Chen turned his attention to the third skill: "To upgrade from the seventh level to the eighth level, the Blood River requires two trillion points. Even if I smash my bones to pieces to exchange for points, I can't afford it."

He then turned his gaze to the water authority. The water authority was sufficient for the time being and there was no need to upgrade it.

He looked at the Soul-Catching Chain again, and this time Zhang Chen's eyes fixed:
[5th ​​skill (Level 0): Soul-Hooking Chain (100000000/)] [Skill explanation: As long as the soul marked by your skill reaches the end of its life span, you can hook the soul of the other party regardless of the other party's cultivation level and the distance in time and space.]

【Note 1: It can hook the souls of all those whose life span has come to an end.】

[Note 2: It can hook all souls that use secret techniques to forcibly stay in the world and avoid death, and forcibly avoid the fate of the souls (those who have obtained elixirs to prolong their life are not included)]

[Note 3: Please do not use this magical power lightly. You mark the opponent, and the opponent also marks you. If the opponent kills you before the birthday comes, how tragic! ]

[Note 4: You may not be able to kill the opponent by hooking his soul. Of course, the opponent is chained and cannot do anything to you. After three days, the skill becomes invalid and the opponent is sent back to his body by the law. You can use the soul-hooking skill once on the same soul within three days.]

[Note 5: As long as you mark them, you can still forcibly draw out their soul even if they have renewed their life.]

"There is no doubt that my soul-catching chains must be upgraded, otherwise I may not be able to face those old guys! Especially the Xiantian Water God, who can be resurrected with the help of the Shen family. His soul realm must have reached the twelfth level. Once the cause and effect are traced back to the door in the future, I am afraid there will be big trouble. And 100 million points are not a lot, why should I be stingy!"

Thinking of this, Zhang Chen clicked on the Soul-Catching Chain's skill, and then saw the Soul-Catching Chain's skill information distorted for a while, and then upgraded again:
[5th ​​Skill (Level 0): Soul-Catching Chain (1000000000/)]

... (not counting words)

……

[Note 6: You can lock the opponent's soul forever, not giving him the opportunity to return to his physical body.]

Zhang Chen looked at Note 6. The introduction of this skill was quite interesting. It could pull out the opponent's soul and lock it, never letting the opponent go back. But if it could be used well, it could be very useful. In combination with Tiger Power Immortal, it could cross the border and kill the enemy's body.

Zhang Chen glanced at the number after skill 5 and felt that it was a bit useless. Further upgrading would require billion experience points. After a little hesitation, Zhang Chen saved the experience points for the Sun True Fire. After all, he didn't have much experience points now, so he tried to save as much as possible.

Although the 5th skill is good, Zhang Chen did not choose to continue upgrading it. Instead, he lowered his head and continued to look down. Although the seventh skill Qigong is very useful, it is only at the second level now and cannot be upgraded. It is useless to increase his combat power. Even if the Qigong is upgraded, its power may not be comparable to the tenth level of the Sun True Fire.

As for the eighth skill immobilization talisman, Zhang Chen chose to give up after a little hesitation. It would be better for him to specialize in one skill. The enemies he would face in the future would become more and more powerful, and he would need to use the best steel on the blade.

Zhang Chen chose to ignore the fixed character, invisibility talisman, and the strong man moving mountain technique without wasting points. His gaze turned to the devouring space again, but after hesitating for a moment, Zhang Chen chose to give up. His devouring space was enough for the time being, and at worst he still had the innate mosquito mouthparts, which could replace part of the function of the devouring space.

Then comes the fourteenth skill of transcendence. Zhang Chen has not noticed the function of this skill, but the points required for this skill are terrifying, perhaps hundreds of billions. Zhang Chen has not noticed the function of this function yet, and does not want to continue upgrading.

As for the fifteenth skill, the Nine-Curve Yellow River Talisman Formation, Zhang Chen's eyes lit up. This was a powerful weapon that could turn the tide at the critical moment.

The most important thing is that the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation is cheap, and it only requires 100 million points to upgrade.

[Skill 15 (Level 0): Nine-bend Yellow River Talisman Array (100000000/)]

[Note 1: The coverage area is meters. If a cultivator enters it, he will have a hard time surviving.]

Zhang Chen took a look at the skill points and clicked on it directly. He could still afford the consumption of 100 million.

As it upgrades, the points are refreshed:
[Skill 15 (Level 0): Nine-bend Yellow River Talisman Array (1000000000/)]

[Note 1: The coverage area is meters. If a cultivator enters it, he will have a hard time surviving.]

"It's not bad. The range has doubled, and the operating space is much larger. But the next upgrade will cost 1 billion, which is a bit too much. I won't upgrade it for now." After a little hesitation, Zhang Chen chose to terminate the upgrade of the Nine-Bend Yellow River Talisman Array and turned his attention to the other skills.

There are only three skills left for him to choose from, one is time acceleration, another is the true fire of the sun, and the origin of cold air.

As for other skills, such as the Five Elements Escape Technique, the experience points consumed would be hundreds of billions, which Zhang Chen could not afford.
