Starting From The Equal Opportunity To Become A Saint

136. Chapter 136 The Devil's Purpose!

Chapter 136: The Demon Lord's Purpose!

Shua!

He Yan Nian's enormous corpse suddenly disappeared without a trace, not even leaving a single hair behind!

This startled the turtle, who had been drooling while imagining swallowing the Blackheart Crane's body and running away as soon as its master died.

"Where's my crane?!"

"Where's the body of this headless spirit crane?!"

"Who stole it from me?!"

"Is there no sense of decency left?!"

Seeing the fatty meat that was about to reach its mouth fly away, the turtle's state of mind instantly became unbalanced.

Without control, it began cursing in anger.

Pa!

Liu Zimo slapped the turtle's head and asked coldly, "Turtle, when did this spirit crane's body become yours?"

"If I'm not mistaken, it seems to have been cut by Xiao Feihong and Xiao Xiao, right?"

Upon hearing this familiar voice, the turtle trembled and suddenly looked up at Liu Zimo.

"Oh my god!"

"The master isn't dead, and he's even awake?!"

"How is this possible? The Demon Lord is known for being ruthless. There's no reason he would let the master, such a good cauldron, go!"

"Damn it! I was so focused on staring at the stupid crane's body and thinking about how to eat and run away that I didn't notice when the master woke up..."

While the turtle was lost in thought, its face showed a pleasing smile as it said, "Master, please understand. This stupid crane was indeed cut by the two young masters. I've been taking care of it all along to prevent anyone with ill intentions from stealing the prey of the two young masters!"

At the moment it saw Liu Zimo, the turtle knew that the Blackheart Crane's body had undoubtedly been confiscated by its master.

Just like the tens of thousands of monsters it had raised on the Eastern Sea Island, not even a single hair was left after they died. It was incredibly clean.

Liu Zimo looked deeply at the turtle and said calmly, "Alright, since you're so obedient and sensible, you can keep half of the spirit blood. Hand over the crimson dan on the bird's head, and let's forget about what happened before."

Upon hearing this, the turtle's face turned bitter, and it nodded helplessly.

It knew that once its master came back alive, it would have to spit out all the benefits it had swallowed before.

Fortunately, it had foresight. In order to be prepared, it had only swallowed the spirit blood and the crane's head without refining them, storing them temporarily in its stomach pouch, leaving room for maneuver.

Otherwise, the master might want to refine the turtle's spirit blood again.

Hua!

The turtle opened its mouth slightly and made a swallowing motion.

In an instant, it spat out a thousand drops of blood-red and dripping spirit crane blood from its stomach pouch, as well as a refined crimson dan that resembled a pendant.

"Master, these are a thousand drops of spirit crane blood that I refined from the Blackheart Crane's body, as well as the dan stone taken from its head!"

The old turtle respectfully presented the two items to Liu Zimo and reported considerately, "I just refined this dan stone for the master!"

"It contains one of the Blackheart Crane's Divine Abilities, which, once activated, can create mist within a hundred meters, effectively blocking vision and martial will!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Zimo's eyes lit up.

This Divine Ability, isn't it the special smoke that He Yannian used to shield martial intent when he fought against Xiaofeihong and the others before?

Unexpectedly, it was intercepted and sealed on top of the Linghe's crimson crown by the old turtle!

It's truly an ancient spiritual beast, not only obedient and sensible, but also knowledgeable, talented, and versatile. Not bad, not bad!

Liu Zimo waved his hand and collected the two items in front of him into the Eastern Pearl, looking very satisfied as he looked at the little turtle on his shoulder, praising softly,

"Well done, later you will have half of the blood and flesh from that Linghe!"

The eyes of the two turtles suddenly brightened.

The previous low mood was instantly filled again, and it kept nodding its turtle head, laughing so much that saliva almost sprayed out.

"Thank you, master, master is mighty!"

The flattery came immediately. One thousand drops of Linghe's essence blood, plus a crimson stone that sealed the Linghe's Divine Ability, in exchange for over five hundred thousand tons of Linghe's flesh, it was definitely a profitable deal!

[This new master is quite generous!]

[Compared to the stingy old Taoist from before, it's like the difference between heaven and earth!]

[If the same thing were to happen to that old Taoist, he probably wouldn't even be willing to let me eat a hundred pounds of meat!]

[In that case, it seems like a good choice to follow such a generous and straightforward master!]

[If he really is the reincarnation of the old Taoist, I hope this new master never awakens his memories of his past life and just stays like this forever, that would be great!]

The turtle's heart was filled with immense satisfaction.

What Liu Zimo gave it now far exceeded its own expectations.

Which spiritual pet wouldn't like such a generous and easygoing master?

"Master, has the remnant soul of the Demon Lord already...?"

The turtle asked with a hint of concern.

"Don't worry!" Liu Zimo chuckled, "There will never be another Demon Lord in this world!"

Upon hearing this, the turtle felt at ease, but also couldn't help but have a whole new understanding of this new master's strength.

Even the Demon Lord, who had been famous since ancient times as the strongest, was silently damaged in the sea of knowledge of the new master, which was truly incredible.

Even though the Demon Lord's strength had greatly declined after experiencing the long era of the end of the law, and even his physical body had been abandoned, he was still a spiritual cultivation ancestor, and his best attack method was not in his physical body, but in his divine soul and sea of knowledge.

When he invaded the master's sea of knowledge with his remnant soul, it was equivalent to entering his most proficient spiritual cultivation battle field.

The fact that the master could easily turn defeat into victory in this situation, and even seemed to have suffered no damage to his divine soul, showed how strong the master's strength was and how brilliant his methods were!

[It seems that my previous judgment of the master's cultivation strength was not so accurate!]

[If nothing unexpected happens, there must be some great secrets and weapons hidden in the master's sea of knowledge!]

[Otherwise, even if the Demon Lord is not his match, he wouldn't have had no chance to escape!]

With this in mind, the turtle once again used its Divine Ability secret technique to carefully sense Liu Zimo's current cultivation state.

To its surprise, in just a short while, the master's spiritual cultivation had made great progress!

At least, there was a significant increase in spiritual essence amplification of about a hundred years!

Moreover, not only did the spiritual cultivation improve, but the master's physical strength and muscle strength also increased by nearly double!

Putting aside martial cultivation, now the master's basic strength and toughness of his physical body and muscles were already comparable to them, these spiritual beasts!

【This is really strange!】

【After the master and the Demon Lord had a fierce battle in the sea of consciousness, not only did their cultivation not suffer any damage, but it actually increased by a large margin!】

【What is the principle behind this?】

【Could it be that he reverse-devoured and assimilated the Demon Lord's spiritual origin, which caused his mental power to rapidly increase, instantly enhancing his original power by hundreds of years?】

The turtle muttered to itself, the more it thought about it, the more it felt that this was possible.

After all, since the Demon Lord entered the master's sea of consciousness, there had been no movement from him.

After his death, the dispersed spiritual origin naturally remained in the master's sea of consciousness.

In this way, it is not difficult to explain why after the battle, the master's spiritual cultivation not only did not decrease but increased, and even his physical strength began to rise!

After some speculation, the turtle couldn't help but admire and fear its new master even more.

"Master is mighty!"

"I knew it, that Demon Lord is definitely no match for the master! He dared to plot against the master, he's simply seeking death, he deserves to die!"

The turtle once again flattered Liu Zimo.

But this time, its expression and tone were obviously much more serious than before.

Liu Zimo looked at the turtle, who was saying one thing but meaning another, speechless.

Clearly, it had already prepared to seize the Linghe's body and flee as soon as his master's soul collapsed.

Now, seeing the situation reversed, it actually started to belittle the Demon Lord with a straight face, flattering its master.

It had to be said that this shameless and cunning guy was really suitable for surviving in the end times!

"You said it well!"

Liu Zimo looked at the turtle approvingly, with a hidden meaning in his words:

"In the future, follow this master well. As long as you don't have any ulterior motives or play any tricks, there will be benefits for you!"

The turtle naturally understood the implied meaning in its master's words, nodded repeatedly, and vowed its loyalty.

Only when it saw that its master really didn't care about its previous act of secretly devouring the Linghe's blood and head, did the turtle finally settle down completely.

Lying on Liu Zimo's right shoulder, with a thought, it moved the other half of the Linghe's blood that it had hidden in its stomach pouch into its intestines and officially began to absorb and assimilate it.

In just a moment, the turtle's spiritual power surged, its blood energy soared, and its cultivation realm actually climbed another level!

【Your spiritual pet, Turtle Sui Shou, has assimilated a hundred drops of 'Linghe's blood', stabilizing its foundation, and its blood energy has soared! Triggered the 'Heaven Stealing' innate talent, sharing half of the blood energy increase, Martial Dao foundation +5, blood energy +50,000.】

【...】

【Your spiritual pet, Turtle Sui Shou, has fortuitously encountered an opportunity, its strength has reached its limit, and its cultivation realm has been restored to the mid-stage of the Manifestation Saint realm! Triggered the 'Heaven Stealing' innate talent, sharing half of the cultivation increase, Martial Dao cultivation +100, mental power +10, soul strength +10.】

Wow!

Another hundred years of Martial Dao cultivation gained!

Liu Zimo's spirits lifted, unable to help but glance at the Turtle Sui Shou, who was in the midst of a breakthrough.

A thousand drops of 'Linghe's blood' actually allowed this old turtle to recover to the mid-stage of the Manifestation Saint realm in an instant, and even directly contributed a hundred years of Martial Dao cultivation to him. This was truly something to be celebrated!

Just this old turtle alone was almost equivalent to the dozens of "good brothers" and "good sisters" he had bound before!

In this situation, in the future, when there were good things, how could he not think of this old turtle first?

Just like how company bosses always favor employees with good performance, good employees who can continuously make money for him will naturally receive more bonuses and benefits, right?

"Master!"

"Master!"

At this moment, Xiao Feihong and Lou Xiaoxiao, who had been guarding Liu Zimo, came over together. One of them hugged Liu Zimo's arm and asked with concern, "Master, are you okay?"

"Just now, this silly turtle said that a powerful demon lord invaded Master's sea of consciousness and said that Master's situation is not looking good!"

While caring for their master, the two girls also didn't forget to complain about the little turtle who didn't want to play with them.

If the old turtle hadn't fallen into a deep sleep, who knows how scared it would have been.

"I'm fine."

"Don't listen to this little turtle's nonsense. That so-called demon lord is just a remnant soul, and it can't threaten my safety!"

Liu Zimo patted the two girls' heads affectionately and casually brushed off the matter of the demon lord.

Then he glanced around and quietly instructed them, "Things here are settled. You two should go outside the city and help. Don't let too many monsters invade the city!"

In just a short while, thousands of monsters had crossed the defense line and invaded the city.

There were already many casualties among the soldiers and warriors in the city.

"Yes, Master!"

The two girls nodded at the same time. If it weren't for protecting their master, they would have run out to join the fun long ago.

Now that they had received their master's orders, they had no more concerns. They moved like lightning and flew towards the direction where there were the most monsters.

After watching the two girls leave, Liu Zimo also disappeared and appeared where Crane Yan Nian had first appeared.

Looking down from a high vantage point, he surveyed the surroundings.

"I forgot to ask just now, what are the demon lord and Crane Yan Nian trying to do with such a big commotion tonight?"

Liu Zimo muttered to himself.

If we were to say that the monsters attacking the city outside, especially the appearance of the several monster generals that had held back Sun Zhan, Li Shengji, and other Golden Body Realm warriors, were purely coincidental, Liu Zimo would definitely not believe it.

If those monster generals were not being influenced or controlled by the demon lord, they had many ways to infiltrate the city without the need for such a big fuss.

From beginning to end, this should be the trick of the demon lord and Crane Yan Nian to divert attention and attack from the east.

They wanted to lure all the Golden Body Realm experts out of the city so that they could conveniently carry out their next actions.

"However, what do they want to do with such a big commotion?"

"What or who in Jinmen City is worth the demon lord going to such great lengths for?"

Liu Zimo wondered, recalling the various behaviors of Crane Yan Nian after appearing on the rooftop of the commercial building.

His gaze swept lightly, involuntarily focusing on the direction of the military supply depot facing the commercial building.

"Interesting!"

"If I remember correctly, when Crane Yan Nian first appeared here, the direction it was looking at seemed to be the military supply depot."

"But later, when it saw that Xiao Feihong and Xiaoxiao didn't leave the military supply depot with Sun Zhan and the others, Crane Yan Nian started to have murderous intent and immediately swooped down to attack the two little girls!"

"In other words, it believed that the existence of the two girls had blocked its path and hindered its subsequent actions, so it had to take action!"

"Therefore, Crane Yan Nian, or rather the demon lord, tonight's main target should be at the military supply depot or somewhere near it!"

Thinking this way, Liu Zimo's divine sense swept lightly, instantly encompassing the entire military supply depot, as well as the situation of all the buildings and personnel near it, within the range of his spiritual perception.

Soon, in just a few seconds.

Liu Zimo raised an eyebrow, seemingly sensing something abnormal, and his gaze involuntarily turned towards the direction of the military supply depot!
