55: The charm of numbers!

Yan Hong stared blankly ahead, speechless for a long time.

The Howling Moon Mountains, stretching for hundreds of miles, had been flattened after the great seal descended.

It could now be called the Howling Moon Basin.

Therefore, the demons gathered there could not have survived that attack.

Which meant they truly had no need to go to the Howling Moon Mountains.

"Sir, what exactly happened just now? Did an Immortal make a move?"

"Divine punishment, this is absolutely Divine punishment!"

"Sir, the three highly skilled disciples of the Ten Thousand Treasures Sect are still there; surely they weren't affected by such a terrifying attack!"

The soldiers spoke one after another, excitedly discussing the reason behind the appearance of this world-destroying seal.

In Yan Hong's mind, Song Ming's words suddenly echoed: "Mere Howling Moon Mountains demons, I alone can exterminate them all!"

Could it really have been him?

Such a method, what difference was there between him and the Immortals in the sky?

Even the Old Ancestor in Qian Capital probably couldn't do it!

Yan Hong felt his throat dry. "Cough, cough, let's go. We at least need to know what happened!"

The group regrouped and arrived before the Howling Moon Mountains, which had almost become ruins.

On the periphery were half-collapsed mountains.

In the depths was an endless, flat, sunken pit.

Then they saw the shattered rock and soil in the pit, already stained blood-red, and the gurgling blood springs constantly emerging from underground.

They didn't see any demon corpses at all.

But whether they saw them or not no longer mattered.

This blood-soaked earth was the best proof!

Qingzhou's greatest threat, and Yan Hong's daily worry, the Howling Moon Wolf King, didn't even show his face.

Like his many demon subordinates, he was directly crushed into paste and buried beneath this ground.

Yan Hong's gaze moved from the blood-soaked earth ahead, then he saw the purple-robed figure standing proudly at the entrance of the mountain range.

And so, everything became clear!

Song Ming really wasn't boasting.

He really did it.

"How fortunate is our Great Qian to have such a banished Immortal assisting us. Perhaps the coming demon calamity will end very soon!" Yan Hong muttered, staring blankly at Song Ming.

Meng Li, on the side, looked at the monster-suppressing army, which arrived late, not far away.

Especially when he saw the shocked and awestruck expression on the Qingzhou General's face, he felt incredibly pleased.

"Holy crap, it's a good thing they arrived a step late, otherwise, wouldn't they have been buried with the demons here!" he couldn't help but exclaim.

Zhang Xinhua, however, shook her head, the shock in her eyes even more profound.

"You and I were so close to Song Ming, yet we didn't suffer any harm. That's enough to show Song Ming's abnormal control over Spell skills!"

"Hiss, look at the quest prompt!"

Meng Li gasped, pointing at the quest panel in front of him.

[Hidden Quest Stage One, Qingzhou Crisis, Completed]

[Quest Completion: 100%]

[Quest Participation: 0%]

[Quest Settlement in Progress...]

[Settlement Complete!]

[You have received the following rewards: EXP +110,000, Level 30 Blue Top-tier Equipment Demon Slaying Long Blade, Level 30 Purple Equipment Demon Gathering Armor, Black Iron Treasure Chest]

Meng Li and Zhang Xinhua were both Level 32.

This 110,000 EXP directly boosted them three levels, bringing them to Level 35.

Aside from the remaining blue and purple equipment, the two stared blankly at the Black Iron Treasure Chest in their inventory.

What did this mean? Who were they looking down on?

Even if they were just window shopping and running errands, zero percent quest participation was too much.

Besides, if they hadn't led the way, could Song Ming have found the Howling Moon Mountains so quickly?

Meng Li looked at Song Ming standing in front of them, then turned to Zhang Xinhua and said, "The more I think about it, the more I feel something's off. Is Song Ming's Professional a hidden Professional? This is clearly a Divine-Grade Professional!"

"I think you're being a bit too conservative!" Zhang Xinhua pushed up her non-existent glasses, saying seriously.

"What do you mean?" Meng Li scratched his head.

"I'd believe you if you said he had a Heavenly Emperor Professional!" Zhang Xinhua exhaled deeply, as the golden seal that descended from the Nine Heavens had left too deep an impression on her.

Other than a Heavenly Emperor, she couldn't think of a second explanation.

To be able to kill all the demons within an eighty-mile radius with a single skill on the day he completed his Professional change, and also transform the mountains into a plain.

...

At the same time, countless experience notifications flooded Song Ming's screen.

[Killed Level 11 Iron-Mouthed Pig Demon, gained EXP +260]

[Killed Level 15 Silver-Armored Centipede Demon, gained EXP +510]

[Killed Level 21 Black-Striped Tiger Demon, gained EXP +2100]

[Killed Level 35 Green Deer Demon, gained EXP +51200]

[Killed Level 35 White Jade Rabbit Demon, gained EXP +49580]

[Killed Level 40 BOSS Howling Moon Wolf King, gained EXP +96520]

[Killed Level 42 Blood-Transforming Demon Ox (Young), gained EXP +120540]

...

[You have incurred the hatred of the Thirty-Sixth Cave Demon Emperor, Blood-Transforming Demon Emperor, from the Thousand Demon Cave.]

[You have been marked.]

[BOSS loot has been automatically picked up.]

[You picked up Level 40 Purple Top-tier Equipment Demon Binding Golden Ring.]

[Your Rank has increased to Level 35!]

[You have completed Hidden Quest (Immortal Sect Secret) Stage One. Reward: EXP +110,000, Level 30 Green Top-tier Equipment Demon Slaying Longsword, Level 30 Purple Top-tier Equipment Howling Moon Pearl, Legendary Treasure Chest.]

Song Ming looked at the long string of messages in front of him, a slight smile playing on his lips.

The Heaven and Earth Seal truly lived up to its name as his first Forbidden Spell. With one great seal, the demons within an eighty-mile radius of the Howling Moon Mountains were completely wiped out.

Nearly two thousand demons, over a million EXP, directly increased his Rank by 8 levels.

Others found it slower to level up the higher they got, but for Song Ming, it was completely the opposite.

He leveled up faster the higher he got.

If other Professionals knew, their Dao Hearts would probably collapse on the spot.

Moreover, Song Ming's gains from this demon slaughter were far more than that.

Thanks to the attribute bonus of his hidden Professional, Song Ming's mental attribute also saw another surge.

[Spirit: 466 → 666]

[Free Attribute Points: 175 → 375]

Of course, there was nothing else to say. He just went all in on Spirit.

[Spirit: 666 → 1041]

Coupled with the values provided by his previous equipment, his mental attribute became even more abnormal.

[Spirit: 1041 + 370 = 1411]

Such a high Spirit attribute directly brought Song Ming the most intuitive benefit: the damage value of the Heaven and Earth Seal skyrocketed, approaching 1,000,000.

Plus the 100% Spell critical hit granted by the Heaven and Earth Dao Body, Song Ming could only sigh, "The charm of numbers!"

His steady leveling-up style had directly turned into a Musou-style hack-and-slash game.

Divine-Grade talent plus Divine-Grade Professional was just that unreasonable.

Then Song Ming noticed the notification on the panel that he had been marked.

Thousand Demon Cave! It sounded like a good place.

I wonder if it can withstand my Heaven and Earth Seal!
