351: Enhance! Myriad Curses Devour!

Chen Nian's gaze swept over the skill bar, finally settling on [Ten Thousand Curses Frenzied Devour] at the very end.

This skill was a special reward obtained for killing the Lord of Curses.

He had tried it out today while clearing the remaining Demonic Evils in the Abyss of Curses, and the results were outstanding.

It could summon Curse-Devouring Specterss, which could devour and tear everything apart.

It also came with strong Soul erosion and curse effects, making it very handy to use.

When dealing with a large number of enemies with similar attributes, it was simply a divine skill for large-scale clearing.

To be honest, he was quite satisfied with it.

It truly lived up to being a skill obtained from killing an Abyssal Evil God; it indeed had its unique strengths.

Chen Nian asked, "System, how many points are needed to upgrade [Ten Thousand Curses Frenzied Devour]?"

[Ding! Upgrading Ten Thousand Curses Frenzied Devour requires 3,200 points per level.]

3,200 points?

Chen Nian's eyebrows twitched slightly.

Among all his current skills, this was the most expensive one to upgrade per level.

Although compared to his Prison Suppressing Divine Body, which cost sixty thousand points per upgrade, it was far from enough.

But it also showed that the potential and status of this skill were not low.

"System, use all remaining points to upgrade [Ten Thousand Curses Frenzied Devour]," Chen Nian ordered directly.

[Ding! Command confirmed!]

[Consuming 25,600 points, Ten Thousand Curses Frenzied Devour has been upgraded to Level 8!]

The moment the command was given—

"Wooo—!!!"

A majestic and condensed, incredibly profound curse energy suddenly erupted from deep within Chen Nian's Soul!

This energy was cold, silent, and filled with endless resentment and hunger.

It contained a terrifying power sufficient to make all things wither and Laws decay!

It frantically strengthened and tempered Chen Nian's understanding and control of Laws such as "Curse," "Devour," and "Resentment."

Chen Nian's Meridians seemed to transform into a dark galaxy flowing with the Waters of the River Styx, surging with tides of destruction and devouring.

Deep within his Soul, regarding how to more efficiently and overbearingly channel the power of ten thousand curses to devour the essence of living beings...

...he had a brand new, deeper understanding.

Chen Nian could clearly feel that the power, range, release speed, and strength of the wraiths of [Ten Thousand Curses Frenzied Devour]...

...as well as the precision of his control over curse energy, had all achieved a qualitative leap!

If the previous Ten Thousand Curses Frenzied Devour was a violent torrent of curses...

...then now, it was more like a precise and deadly army of curses tempered in Hell!

With a single thought, ten thousand curses would fire at once, devouring Souls and seizing spirits!

The sense of fulfillment brought by this power increase made Chen Nian very satisfied.

At the same time, he also clearly felt that his own Soul, under the reverse tempering of this power...

...seemed to have become more solid, and his resistance to mental attacks had increased.

Not bad, another skill that can strengthen the Soul along with it.

Chen Nian felt the hint of toughness coming from the Soul level and was quite satisfied.

He looked at the point balance.

[points: 3,152]

There were still three thousand one hundred and fifty-two points left.

His gaze swept over the skill bar again and fell on [Evil-Warding Heavenly Thunder].

This skill had also accompanied him for a long time; it was extremely Yang and rigid, specifically countering evil.

Whether it was single-target killing or area purification, it was extremely efficient.

Especially when dealing with enemies of dark and evil attributes, the effect was outstanding.

The remaining points were enough to upgrade it one more level.

"System, use all remaining points to upgrade [Evil-Warding Heavenly Thunder]," Chen Nian ordered decisively again.

[Ding! Command confirmed!]

[Consuming 2,600 points, Evil-Warding Heavenly Thunder has been upgraded to Level 12!]

"Crackle—!!!"

An extremely pure, extremely Yang and rigid power of thunder, as if it could cleanse all filth in the world...

...instantly merged into Chen Nian's entire body!

Countless fine purple lightning snakes traveled and tempered within his Meridians.

His understanding of the Laws of "Thunder" and "Evil-Breaking" deepened by another layer.

With a slight movement of his fingertips, it seemed he could trigger the Nine Heavens Lightning Tribulation, blasting all evil before him into ashes.

The power, speed, penetration, and range of [Evil-Warding Heavenly Thunder] were all significantly enhanced.

Chen Nian looked at the points column.

[points: 552]

Only five hundred and fifty-two points were left.

With these few points, he could no longer do anything for skill upgrades that easily cost thousands or tens of thousands.

However, even small mosquitoes have meat.

Chen Nian's gaze finally fell on his oldest companion that had been with him the longest, [Mountain-Collapsing Fist].

This simple and unadorned skill had truly achieved the feat of collapsing mountains today in Soul Burial Valley, with its effect fully realized.

"System, use all remaining points to upgrade [Mountain-Collapsing Fist]," he gave his final command.

[Ding! Consuming 500 points, Mountain-Collapsing Fist has been upgraded to Level 35!]

A sense of power so pure it reached the extreme and was incredibly condensed instantly filled his arms.

There were no fancy phenomena or profound Law realizations.

There was only the frantic stacking and condensation of the most primitive, pure, and unreasonable physical destructive power.

After the upgrade, Chen Nian felt that a casual punch from him would be enough to make space vibrate and mountains collapse.

[points: 52]

Finally, the points settled on the number 52.

He could no longer do anything.

However, Chen Nian didn't care about this.

Having consumed the points, he had now become incredibly powerful.

At this moment, even if the remaining Dominators of the Gloomy Abyss attacked together, he was confident he could crush them all!

"Very good."

Chen Nian slowly exhaled a breath of turbid Qi, the golden light in his eyes completely receding.

"Then next, it's time for daily Cultivation."

He stopped thinking and sat cross-legged, his mind becoming completely calm.

Myriad Things Yuan Absorption Art, activate!

"Buzz—!!!"

The moment the Cultivation Technique started running, Chen Nian's body shook slightly!

In an instant, a massive Spiritual Qi vortex formed with his body as the center.

The Spiritual Qi of the entire world seemed to be subjected to the most fatal attraction.

It turned into a visible surging torrent, frantically gathering toward his body.

The terrifying absorption and refinement efficiency brought by the ninth-rank Prison Suppressing Divine Body allowed the efficacy of the [Myriad Things Yuan Absorption Art] to be exerted to an unprecedented extreme!

The majestic Spiritual Qi surging into his body was, almost the moment it entered his Meridians...

...completely crushed, refined, and absorbed by that incredibly powerful physique.

It was converted into the purest Spiritual Energy, flowing into the Dantian Qi Sea.

Chen Nian could clearly feel his spiritual power cultivation soaring at an unprecedented speed.

The Spiritual Sea expanded frantically, with turbulent waves.

The Spiritual Core at the center, like a sun, shone more and more intensely, its volume also slowly growing, emitting heart-palpitating energy fluctuations.

Meanwhile, the System notification sounds in Chen Nian's mind began to ring out one after another at a frantic frequency.

[Ding! Your Realm has been promoted to Spiritual Sea Realm Level 70!]

[Ding! Your Realm has been promoted to Spiritual Sea Realm Level 80!]
