Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 650 Demon Slayer, Fire Elemental Celestial Body! (Two Chapters Combined)

"senior."

Upon noticing Yuan San's return, Song Changping and Song Chang'an immediately went to greet him.

"Senior, you?" Upon seeing Yuan San, Song Changping was the first to notice Yuan San's unusual behavior.

Although the clones looked almost identical to the originals, the two brothers had spent enough time with Genzo that they quickly noticed the differences.

"This is my true form."

Yuan San simply said something, and Song Changping was taken aback at first, but then a look of joy appeared on his face.

"Congratulations, senior!"

The two brothers knew about the sealing of Genzo's true form, and therefore understood how significant this day was for Genzo.

It's a simple sentence, but it reflects tens of thousands of years of severance, and the suffering involved is unimaginable.

"Tell all the zombies that I am going to borrow all the Yin energy from the Nine Netherworlds. During this period, your cultivation will be affected to some extent," Yuan San said.

"Yes, senior." Neither brother objected.

Yuan San is the progenitor of Yin spirits, the ancestor of all zombies.

Under this relationship, no zombie dared to refute or contradict Yuan San, and even if Yuan San wanted to extract the Yin Sha Qi from their bodies, they dared not resist in the slightest.

Having said that, Yuan San wasted no time and flew directly to the top of the highest mountain in the Nine Netherworld.

His chest heaved, and he suddenly opened his mouth to inhale, instantly creating a strong wind.

The wisps of Yin energy floating in the air were also affected immediately, drifting towards where Yuan San was.

Like a stream flowing into a river, the Yin energy from all directions rapidly converged and was frantically absorbed and devoured by Yuan San.

"What, what happened?" Before the two brothers could even inform them, many zombies had already noticed the anomaly and looked up at the sky.

The Yin energy of the entire Netherworld was mobilized at this moment, a strange phenomenon that had never occurred before.

They simply couldn't fathom how someone could single-handedly extract the Yin energy from the entire Nine Netherworld—what an incredible ability that was!
Meanwhile, at the Tianwu Imperial Palace, following the martial arts competition before the emperor, Song Changming once again summoned the nine state kings and explained his intention to slay the dragon.

The nine state kings exchanged glances, all seeing the solemnity in each other's eyes, but they were not overly shocked.

Song Changming had warned them about this more than once before, so they were already mentally prepared.

However, I never expected this day to come so soon.

"Your Majesty, is this really feasible?" King Lei couldn't help but ask.

"Slaying the Star-Devouring Dragon is secondary; your safety is the most important thing."

"It's alright. Since we're going to make a move, I've already made thorough preparations. Even if I fail to kill that extraterrestrial dragon, I can still retreat and won't die," Song Changming said with a faint smile.

His composed demeanor reassured the nine state kings somewhat.

"Is there anything else Your Majesty needs us to do?" King Yun asked.

"As I said before, just have those ninth-tier talisman masters reinforce the seal, and you all need to protect their safety, since the Abyss is extremely dangerous," Song Changming added.

If you had to pinpoint Song Changming's only concern at the moment...

It was definitely not about his personal safety, nor was it about whether he could kill the Star-Devouring Dragon. Rather, it was about whether the sealing formation set up by Emperor Yuan could withstand the destructive power brought about by his battle with the Star-Devouring Dragon.

If the sealing formation breaks and he fails to kill the Star-Devouring Dragon and allow it to escape, then it will truly be a loss.

This was the only risk he could think of, and for this he needed the help of several state kings and the top old talisman masters of the human race to prepare for the worst.

“Alright.” King Yun agreed solemnly.

After giving further instructions and finalizing the details, Song Changming finally left to consolidate his strength.

The nine kings of the provinces emerged from the main hall, each with a different mood.

Some were excited and thrilled, while others were filled with worry.

"If Your Majesty can truly slay that Star-Devouring Dragon this time, then you will have accomplished something that even Emperor Yuan could not do back then, and the human race will be free from calamities!"

Yan Wang clenched his fists, speaking with great emotion, his face full of admiration for Song Changming, the Martial Emperor.

In his view, Song Changming was taking a risk for the sake of humanity, betting his own life and future on the foundation of humanity's millennia-long prosperity!
How could this not inspire respect?

It can only be said that he truly deserves the title of Emperor Wu; his great achievements are comparable to those of Emperor Yuan, who founded the dynasty.

"That's true, but this is, after all, a world-destroying beast from beyond the realm. Even Emperor Yuan couldn't do anything about it back then and could only seal it away. This shows how difficult it is to kill this world-destroying beast," King Lei said, shaking his head.

Of the nine kings, she was the oldest and had the most concerns.

"It is impossible to achieve great things without taking any risks and paying a price. When we unified the Nine Provinces, we also paid a bloody price, and millions of people lost their lives as a result."

Even earlier, in order to prevent that cataclysmic calamity, many of our human race's strongest warriors perished, resulting in the loss of six provinces.
"In any case, we can only trust His Majesty now." King Miao glanced at the other state kings and said.

“That’s right. Whatever His Majesty wants to do, we must give our full support and not hold him back.” The youngest Wind King nodded in agreement.

The original three kings were absolute supporters of Emperor Wu, and they always unconditionally supported and fully cooperated with the decisions made by Song Changming.

"Of course, this is a matter of utmost importance concerning you and me, and the entire human race. We will definitely cooperate fully." The other state kings immediately expressed their support.

"Furthermore, this matter must be kept strictly confidential and must not be revealed to anyone," King Yun concluded.

"clear."

Three months passed in the blink of an eye.

In the far north of Frost Continent, the vast star field that stretched for thousands of miles suddenly shrank rapidly and disappeared.

On the ice, there was a huge crater with a diameter of thousands of miles, just like a huge ring-shaped crater left after being hit by a meteorite.

The surface of the pit was still covered with ice, but a large amount of water vapor, as if evaporated by the high temperature, was constantly rising and spreading. There was also a large amount of boiling water in the center, making it comparable to a boiling lake.

Finding boiling water in this far north of Frost Province is unprecedented.

Above the boiling water, Song Changming stood with his hands behind his back, checking the lifespan displayed on the panel.

The final value was '366425'.

His lifespan of over 360,000 years is naturally the result of his hard work over the years, and it is also his greatest source of confidence.

For him now, the 36,000 lifespans he had lost in the previous death are nothing.

He can absolutely afford to die!

However, his lifespan did not only increase.

Putting aside everything else, the star field power that just unfolded consumed a significant portion of his lifespan.

"Even though I already possess four divine-level Witch God Souls and have a physical strength nearly comparable to a Witch King, I still need to expend my lifespan to operate this star field?" Song Changming frowned and muttered to himself. This ancient Witch Clan's Witch Seal power system is undeniably powerful, even worthy of being called a world-shaking supernatural ability!

However, the more powerful the spell, the more lifespan it consumes once it is activated, which is quite a drawback.

As a result of this, he also developed the habit of not using the witch's seal casually.

After all, no matter how long one's lifespan is, it cannot withstand unrestrained squandering.

"This Three Seals Starfield, not to mention the lifespan it consumes, is one of my signature techniques in terms of sheer power," Song Changming thought to himself.

Plus.
Song Changming looked at the orange-glowing physical attribute on the panel.

Demon Slayer (Orange): Triggered by the blue physique 'Demon Slayer', it is like a mouse fearing a cat, an insect fearing a bird, and has a natural ability to suppress demons and evil spirits.

After each demon is slain, you will enter the 'God of Slaughter' state, where your overall combat power will continuously increase. You can also replenish your physical strength by absorbing flesh and blood without any side effects.

This orange trait was obtained the year he slew all the demon kings of the Nine Provinces; it can be considered an upgraded version of the Demon Slayer trait.

With this characteristic, all demons and monsters in the world fear him like the plague.

Even objects bearing a trace of his aura would terrify demons, who would dare not approach them even slightly.

Demon Buster, as his name suggests, possesses this characteristic, which even ancient blood demon kings are affected by, and they instinctively dare not disobey him.

However, Song Changming was somewhat unsure whether this orange trait could actually work on that Star Devouring Dragon.

Previously, his soul was pulled into a seal, and his physical characteristics could not be displayed, so they could not be verified.

It's reasonable to assume that the Star-Devouring Dragon, being a demon, should also be affected by its physical characteristics to some extent.

He didn't expect the Star Devouring Dragon to be terrified upon seeing him and surrender without a fight. He was content as long as his characteristic weakened the Star Devouring Dragon's current strength.

Also.

Fire Element Celestial Body (Orange): Triggered by the blue physique 'Near Fire Dao Body', possessing a fire seed, wielding fire element, impervious to all fire, capable of cultivating all fire techniques, and able to develop fire-based supernatural powers!
This new orange trait was acquired by him a few years ago when he officially became the Martial Emperor and the ruler of the world.

It is an upgraded version of the blue trait 'Near-Fire Dao Body', and its effects and power are very similar to his previous orange trait 'Thunder Devourer'.
The only difference is that one devours the strange thunder of the world to create a thunder seed, while the other devours the strange fire of the world to create a fire seed.

In the past, the Thunder Devourer had given him so much help; now, this Fire Element Heavenly Spirit Body could provide him with the same immense assistance.

However, due to limitations in his energy, he can only develop his Fire Element Heavenly Spirit Body to a limited extent.

The results of the theory of fire within his body are temporarily incomparable to the thunder seed he has nurtured for over a hundred years.

Therefore, he still mostly uses the power of the Thunder Seed, while the Fire Seed continues to develop quietly and is not yet of great use.

Even so, Song Changming still held great expectations for this spark.

He would often imagine what kind of powerful performance he would have when both of his spirit seeds emerged and he simultaneously used both lightning and fire magic!
Moreover, now that his body is no longer afraid of thunder, it is also no longer afraid of fire.

Neither lightning nor fire can harm him!

In the distance, a figure flew closer and closer; it was none other than Yuan San, who had returned three months later as agreed.

"Owner."

Before the sound even arrived, a powerful aura of malevolent energy was already present, causing Song Changming to turn his head in surprise.

When Yuan San returned, his body was even more robust, and he was nearly three meters tall. He was dressed in a set of ancient armor, and his skin was dark.

His eyes were like copper bells, and he had a somewhat fierce look with blue faces and fangs, resembling both a human and a ghost.

This was the first time Song Changming had seen Yuan San's face.

Compared to his state immediately after breaking free of the seal, apart from the change in appearance, the most important thing is that Yuan San's aura has become significantly stronger.

Even with Song Changming's strong spirit and physique, the sheer aura emanating from this body was enough to make him wary.

"How is the recovery going?" Song Changming asked.

“It has met expectations,” Yuan San said seriously.

Three months is but a blink of an eye for such an ancient creature. He has restored the functions of his body as quickly as possible, making himself look less decayed now.

At least they could be considered to have the strength to fight.

Song Changming nodded, not wanting to drag things out for too long; he had been preparing for this battle long enough.

"Then let's set off! Today we shall slay the dragon!"

"Yes, my master."

In the void, a portal appeared, and Song Changming and Yuan San entered one after the other.

At the bottom of the abyss, atop a massive seal, a group of people had been waiting patiently for a long time.

Led by the Cloud King, all the kings of the nine provinces were present, along with more than twenty top experts at the Grandmaster level.

And a dozen or so human ninth-rank talisman masters, the leader of whom was Gongshan Zhi of the Heavenly Dao Academy.

hiss!
Not long after, from the shadows, several abyssal beasts suddenly rushed over, moving at an extremely fast speed, reaching the level of demon kings!
Yun Wang and the others remained expressionless, not even glancing at him.

Several grandmasters intervened and killed these abyssal beasts.

The purpose of sending so many experienced and top-level grandmasters is to protect everyone.

In particular, it is of utmost importance to ensure that the old talisman masters are not disturbed.

"These strange beasts in the abyss are endless; we can't possibly kill them all," the Rock King kept saying.

Over the past three months, they have put in a great deal of effort to clear out the strange beasts in the abyss on multiple occasions.

Even now, strange beasts still appear from time to time, causing headaches.

The key point is that these strange beasts are not weak. If they come in groups, they can cause a lot of trouble for them.

"Well, at least their numbers are reduced, so they don't become an uncontrollable plague and leave no place for them to even stand," King Miao said with a faint smile.

Their previous preparations were not entirely in vain.

King Yun remained silent, his gaze fixed solely on the experienced old talisman masters beside him.

The veteran talisman masters all lowered their heads, staring intently at the sealing array below.

They were almost all covered with high-level talismans and talisman paper, and were also protected by the power of several grandmasters.

The layers of protection formed ensured that they would not be severely damaged by the ubiquitous abyssal energy of this place.

After all, their old bones were much more fragile than the group of human grandmasters beside them. If they went deep into the abyss, they would die if they were not careful.

If Song Changming hadn't been going to fight the Star-Devouring Dragon, they wouldn't have chosen to come here and risk their lives.
