126: Gain the Sky Eye, and your combat power soars

“Perish!”

The power of thunder swept across the heavens and earth. Even the Eight-Eyed Ghost King, comparable to a Peerless Grandmaster, died at Chu Jiang’s hands. These Magic Lizards couldn't even resist.

They were all exterminated.

Soon.

A sense of weakness assailed him, and Chu Jiang immediately sat cross-legged to recuperate.

He restored his Divine Soul Power.

The strongest demon created by Ghost Moon was indeed extraordinary. Being comparable to a Peerless Grandmaster was not an exaggeration; his strength was not weaker than his own.

He could only first wear down the Eight-Eyed Ghost King, causing him to suffer heavy injuries.

Then, he would seize the opportunity to unleash his Supreme Soul Realm.

To annihilate him in one go.

If he had used Supreme Soul Realm when the Eight-Eyed Ghost King was at his Peak, even if he severely injured him, he himself would have fallen into weakness, which would be unfavorable for combat.

The Ghost King had an immortal body, and his recovery ability was too strong; he would recover immediately after being severely injured.

If he didn't have a Physique close to immortality.

It wouldn't have been so troublesome.

Two hours later.

Chu Jiang opened his eyes once again, his injuries having recovered about seventy to eighty percent.

He turned his head to look at the Eight-Eyed Ghost King. Although his Soul had been crushed, the remaining flesh and blood still maintained vitality.

This Physique was truly Heaven-Defying.

“This is…”

A flicker of surprise flashed in Chu Jiang’s eyes.

Although the Ghost King was dead, something in his brain still seemed to be supplying energy to his Physical Body.

But after tinkering for a long time, he couldn't open the Eight-Eyed Ghost King's head.

It was too hard.

From the start of the battle until the Eight-Eyed Ghost King's demise, he had never destroyed his demon bones.

Just the Eight-Eyed Ghost King's flesh and blood were comparable to Peerless Grade profound armor; his bones would only be harder. Even a Peerless Grandmaster couldn't shatter it.

The thing inside his head couldn't be taken out, but the Heavenly Eye on his forehead…

“Come out, you!”

Chu Jiang inserted his Blood Sun Saber into the Ghost King's Heavenly Eye crack, tinkering for a full stick of incense time, expending great effort before finally prying it out.

“This is the ghost king heavenly eye?”

He held the ghost king heavenly eye in his hand, observing it carefully. This Heavenly Eye was as hard as demon bone. He had pried at it for a long time, yet the Heavenly Eye didn't have a single scratch.

It was definitely a good treasure.

He tentatively probed the Heavenly Eye with his Soul, and surprisingly discovered a hidden space within.

The space was very large, a cubic space 100 meters in length, width, and height.

Its capacity was even greater than the Storage Pouch in the Pill Hall.

He had struck it rich.

He didn't get the Storage Pouch he had always dreamed of, but he unexpectedly obtained a Heavenly Eye space.

Chu Jiang looked at the Heavenly Eye space, where over a dozen rare treasures were casually scattered, along with hundreds of books and several hundred weapons.

Weapons:

There were not only sabers, spears, swords, and halberds, but also defensive treasure armor, all of High Grade.

Over a dozen were Peerless Grade.

Three were Peerless Grade.

All were engraved with names.

Profound Ice Armor.

Coiling Dragon Staff.

Blood Drinking Mad Saber.

Books:

Most of them were books describing the outside world,

“Cloud Province Demon Extermination Record”

“Annan Prefecture Customs and Traditions”

“Strange Tales of Ge Xian Village”

“On How to Act Like a Good Badass”

“Si Province Unofficial History”

…

Something was off.

Some strange books seemed to have gotten mixed in here.

He opened “On How to Act Like a Good Badass”

Foreword: The Art and Science of Acting Like a Badass

① Definition and History of Acting Like a Badass

② Relationship between Acting Like a Badass and Historical Status

Chapter One: Self-Cognition and Acting Like a Badass

① Knowing Yourself is the First Step to Acting Like a Badass

② Confidence and Acting Like a Badass, How to Build Confidence

Chapter Two

① Badass Vocabulary, Mastering Key Terms

② Speech and Demeanor, How to Use Language to Display Badassery

…

…

“Divine book, absolutely a divine book!”

Chu Jiang exclaimed excitedly. No wonder the Eight-Eyed Ghost King had such a high-class entrance; it turned out he had thoroughly studied this peerless masterpiece.

And he used it with divine proficiency.

Using words to display his class.

Using the Void Realm Heavenly Ladder to highlight his grandeur.

Using the 'drawing a big pie' tactic to recruit subordinates.

“…”

This Eight-Eyed Ghost King was also an intellectual, a demon who loved to learn.

These hidden books were enough to give him a full understanding of the outside world.

Even a demon needs to learn how to act like a good badass, so how could he fall behind?

He couldn't lose face.

He put it away.

He would study it carefully in the future.

Chu Jiang looked at “Si Province Unofficial History”

This book and Cloud Province Unofficial History were by the same author, Nong Yue Jushi.

Both spoke of true (history).

He would read it later if he had the chance.

He turned his gaze to the last section, where over a dozen rare treasures were scattered haphazardly.

There wasn't even a box.

In contrast, the books were neatly arranged on a bookshelf.

This demon was indeed different from other demons; he was truly a demon who loved to learn.

He scanned his gaze.

hai lan crystal, High Grade water-attribute Materials.

Yin Soul Jade, capable of nourishing the Soul.

Primordial Energy Crystal, usable for setting up formations.

Glazed Gold, capable of increasing weapon hardness.

“This is… yellow springs fruit!”

Chu Jiang was shocked. yellow springs fruit only grew in extremely Yin places, blooming once every hundred years, bearing fruit once every thousand years, and ripening only after two to three thousand years.

Eating it could not only strengthen bones and muscles but also enhance the Soul.

The Eight-Eyed Ghost King's demon bones being so hard was not only due to Ghost Moon's demon transplantation technique being divinely proficient but also likely due to the yellow springs fruit.

Killing a big BOSS drops gold coins.

Directly dropped gold ingots.

Chu Jiang exited the Heavenly Eye space, a yellow springs fruit in his hand.

Just a single sniff made his Soul extremely pleased, emitting a longing.

Chu Jiang bit off more than half of the yellow springs fruit and began to frantically refine it.

It lasted for a full three hours.

The yellow springs fruit was completely refined.

[You consumed the yellow springs fruit, your Physical Body evolved. With only the power of your Physical Body, you can now rival a Peerless Grandmaster at the Middle Stage, and your Soul Power has increased to the Late Stage of Peerless Grandmaster.]

[Your Supreme Soul Realm can instantly kill martial artists below the Peak of Peerless Grandmaster.]

Chu Jiang felt his bones and muscles had improved to an extremely terrifying degree, probably not much weaker than the Eight-Eyed Ghost King's demon bones.

His Soul Power had surged even more.

This yellow springs fruit clearly had a greater effect on the improvement of Soul Power.

It seemed that it was correct that he didn't use Supreme Soul Realm on the Eight-Eyed Ghost King right away. He must have consumed yellow springs fruit, and his Soul Power was extremely strong.

He waited for him to burn his Soul in a desperate fight, and then he used Supreme Soul Realm to deal with him.

However, this yellow springs fruit's first fruit had the greatest effect. Consuming a second one basically had no effect, otherwise, this Eight-Eyed Ghost King would have swallowed it long ago.

He wouldn't have left it for him.

He dripped his blood to refine the Heavenly Eye, and then stored the Eight-Eyed Ghost King's demonic body into the space.

The Ghost King's body was priceless.

This was a demon with half an immortal Physique, the culmination of Ghost Moon Immortal Master's thousands of experiments, his most perfect work.

He couldn't possibly throw it away.

Even without the Heavenly Eye, he would have carried it back by brute force.

This venture into the red haze was a huge profit.

He not only gained the Heavenly Eye space.

He also gained various treasures.

His strength surged.

He continued to review the previous panel messages.

[Eight-Eyed Ghost King, Nether-level demons, the strongest demon created by Immortal Master Ghost Moon, possesses vigorous vitality and half an immortal body. His strength is extremely formidable; as long as he has a single breath remaining, he can recover as before. He Cultivated for 328 years, with 700 years of Lifespan remaining.]

[Magic Lizard, Void Realm pseudo-demon × 8500, gained 850 years of Lifespan.]

[Magic Lizard, Nether-level pseudo-demon × 1200, gained 220 years of Lifespan.]

[Magic Lizard, Grievance-level pseudo-demon × 100, gained 200 years of Lifespan.]

[Magic Lizard, Fiend Grade pseudo-demon × 13, gained 60 years of Lifespan.]

[demon life essence: 3922 years]

[Own Lifespan: 550 years]

…

Looking at the abundant Lifespan, Chu Jiang felt a strong sense of security.

He couldn't possibly spend it all.

Just at this moment.

Chu Jiang's expression suddenly changed.

Boom!

An anomaly came from within the red haze.
