65: Prison Suppressing Divine Body, Second Stage!

Returning to the Spiritual Energy Bureau Headquarters.

Just as Chen Nian expected, there was no interrogation, no punishment, and not even a single Special Agent came forward to ask about the situation.

He walked through the headquarters lobby just like that, as if he had just returned from a casual stroll.

However, as he walked, the looks the surrounding Special Agents gave him became even more awe-struck and humble.

Clearly, the matter regarding Tianqiong International Group had already reached the headquarters.

To be fair, the Spiritual Energy Bureau was indeed well-informed.

However, he didn't pay much attention to these trivial matters.

He returned to his dormitory, quickly cleaned himself up, and changed his clothes.

He locked the door and drew the curtains.

Then, he called out directly in his mind, "Open System panel."

The next second, a blue light screen unfolded before his eyes.

【demon slaying and evil eradication system】

【host: Chen Nian】

【Realm: Resonance Realm (Rank 1)】

【Constitution: Prison Suppressing Divine Body (Rank 38)】

【Skills: Mountain-Collapsing Fist (Rank 10), Myriad Things Yuan Absorption Art (Rank 1), Heart-Devouring Demon Silk (Rank 3), Blood Fiend Incarnation (Rank 1), Xuanzhen Qi Sha Formation (Rank 1), Nether Shock (Rank 1)】

【points: 97,672】

Seeing the number in the points column, Chen Nian's movements paused for a moment.

Ninety-seven thousand six hundred and seventy-two points.

In a single day, his points had skyrocketed by over ninety thousand, leaving him just one step away from the one-hundred-thousand mark.

This number had indeed exceeded his expectations.

However, upon careful thought, it seemed reasonable.

He had indeed done quite a bit today.

First, he had razed the fallen Xuanzhen Sect, leaving no one alive from the Sect Leader to the Disciples.

Then he had gone straight to the Corpse Ghost Cult's headquarters and washed it in blood.

In between, he had also conveniently slaughtered the legendary Youdu Corpse Emperor.

Finally, even that meddlesome Garrison Squad from Tianyun District had been completely wiped out by him.

The work done in this one day was almost equal to what others did in several months.

Having a few more points was normal.

It seemed that to quickly obtain points, there were ultimately two paths to take.

Either hunt down top-tier experts; if the quality was high enough, a single one could provide a massive amount of points and even trigger System missions.

Or seek out organized evil organizations; if the quantity was high enough, even if individual quality was lower, the accumulated harvest would be extremely bountiful.

Then there were the parasites within the Spiritual Energy Bureau.

He didn't believe that only the squad from Tianyun District was like that.

In this massive organization, there were surely more scumbags hidden, doing dirty deeds in the shadows under the banner of the Spiritual Energy Bureau.

These were all important sources of points for him.

To this end, he had already told Sun Li to pay more attention to intelligence in these areas.

However, now was not the time to consider these things.

The priority was to convert these points into tangible combat power.

His attention shifted to the skill column.

From this operation, he had gained two brand-new skills: [Xuanzhen Qi Sha Formation] and [Nether Shock].

The Xuanzhen Qi Sha Formation was a reward from the System for annihilating the Xuanzhen Sect.

Once this formation was activated, it could form an independent space, trapping enemies within and using Evil Qi to refine them; it provided both control and damage output.

This skill had played a crucial role when dealing with the Youdu Corpse Emperor, and Chen Nian was very satisfied with its effects.

What satisfied him even more was that in the Xuanzhen Sect, this formation required a large number of Disciples and Elders working together to activate.

However, he only needed a single thought to easily activate the formation.

To be fair, products from the System were indeed high-quality!

Chen Nian asked, "System, how many points are needed to upgrade the Xuanzhen Qi Sha Formation?"

【Ding! Upgrading the Xuanzhen Qi Sha Formation requires consuming 1,000 points.】

The System's response was swift and direct.

"1,000 points? It's the same as the Prison Suppressing Divine Body."

Chen Nian nodded and looked at the other new skill.

【Nether Shock】.

This was the reward obtained for killing the Youdu Corpse Emperor.

He had already personally experienced the destructive power of this skill in the Tianqiong International Group building.

With a wave of his hand came an earth-shattering explosion.

The feeling of being able to destroy everything with a simple gesture made him very satisfied.

Chen Nian asked again, "System, how many points are needed to upgrade Nether Shock?"

【Ding! Upgrading Nether Shock requires consuming 1,200 points.】

Hmm?

Chen Nian was actually a bit surprised this time.

It actually cost two hundred more points than the Prison Suppressing Divine Body.

This indicated that the potential of this skill might be even greater than he imagined.

However, he didn't plan to invest too much into these skills for the time being.

His attention eventually fell back onto the [Constitution] column.

Prison Suppressing Divine Body.

This was the Foundation of all his power.

Without a powerful Foundation as support, even the most powerful skills couldn't exert their full might.

He now had over ninety-seven thousand points, which was more than enough to raise the Prison Suppressing Divine Body to Rank 100.

Based on his experience with the Awakening Realm, reaching Rank 100 in a Realm would bring about a Breakthrough.

He wondered if there would be any changes when the Prison Suppressing Divine Body reached Rank 100.

He felt a bit of anticipation in his heart.

Thinking this, he didn't hesitate for a moment and directly ordered:

"System, consume all points to raise the Rank of the Prison Suppressing Divine Body!"

The System announcement quickly rang out.

【Ding! Command confirmed.】

【Consuming 62,000 points, Prison Suppressing Divine Body raised to Rank 100!】

As soon as the words fell, Chen Nian felt his points rapidly decreasing.

At the same time, a warm current began to surge through his limbs and bones, constantly impacting his body.

【Ding! Detected that the Prison Suppressing Divine Body has reached Rank 100, meeting the advancement conditions.】

【Prison Suppressing Divine Body beginning advancement...】

As the System announcement sounded, the power within Chen Nian's body erupted instantly.

An indescribable, violent energy exploded within him!

"Boom—!"

He felt as if his body had become a battlefield, with every single cell being torn apart and then reorganized by an even more powerful force.

His blood boiled, its temperature frighteningly high.

Muscle fibers snapped one by one, only to reconnect in an even tougher manner.

His bones made overburdened "crackling" sounds, as if they were about to shatter the next second.

But immediately following that, a layer of golden luster covered them, making them a hundred times harder than before.

On the surface of his skin, mysterious and ancient golden patterns emerged on their own, spreading from his heart and instantly covering his entire body, sketching out a profound design.

This process held no pain at all; instead, it was exceptionally refreshing.

He could clearly feel that his life level was undergoing an earth-shaking transition.

After an unknown amount of time, the riot within his body finally subsided.

All the energy returned to silence, but Chen Nian knew they were merely lying dormant, awaiting his call.

He slowly opened his eyes, a golden light flashing briefly before vanishing.

At this moment, the System announcement continued to ring out.

【Advancement successful!】

【Prison Suppressing Divine Body has evolved into: Prison Suppressing Divine Body - Second Stage!】
