86: 150,000 points! The Prison Suppressing Divine Body has been greatly enhanced!

The reason for this was obvious without even thinking: the Demon Cave was simply too rewarding.

The Demonic Evils inside were not only staggering in number, but their strength was generally quite high as well.

Most importantly, they were clustered together, saving him the trouble of searching everywhere.

As a result, in just one day of clearing a single Demon Cave, he directly obtained 150,000 points.

This efficiency was simply unheard of.

It seemed that clearing Demon Caves would be an excellent direction for future development.

Unfortunately... according to the intelligence on Demon Caves he had just cram-studied...

These Demon Caves were things that could be encountered but not sought.

Their distribution followed no pattern, and most were extremely well-hidden and difficult to find.

Even if found, opening and entering them was a massive challenge.

Stumbling upon one this time was pure luck.

He could only wait and see if he would have the chance to encounter another in the future.

However, Chen Nian didn't dwell too much on these uncertainties.

Thinking more wouldn't help; the priority now was to continue improving himself.

With that in mind, his gaze first landed on the skill bar.

A new skill had appeared there—【Netherworld Body Protection】.

This was the new skill rewarded by the System after killing that Netherworld Demon Lord.

With a thought, the description of this skill surfaced before his eyes.

【Netherworld Body Protection (Level 1): Consumes Spiritual Energy to form a Nether shield on the body surface or a designated object. It effectively defends against various attacks. The shield's strength is related to the host's strength and skill level.】

A pure defensive skill.

Chen Nian stroked his chin.

Given the current toughness of his Prison Suppressing Divine Body, ordinary attacks couldn't even break his defense. This shield skill didn't seem to have much of a place to shine.

However, the part of the skill description stating it could form a shield on a designated object was quite interesting.

While he might not need it much himself, it might be useful elsewhere.

For example, protecting an important target, or safeguarding some fragile and easily damaged treasure.

Besides, having one more skill never hurt.

No one could say for sure if he would encounter an attack that even the Prison Suppressing Divine Body couldn't withstand.

Having an extra life-saving trump card was always good.

Who knew when it might actually come in handy.

Thinking this, he didn't dwell on it further.

His gaze moved from the skill bar and finally fixed on the Physique column.

【Physique: Prison Suppressing Divine Body · Second Stage (Level 17)】

This was the Foundation of all his power, his greatest trump card that allowed him to act without restraint!

Looking at his points again.

151,923 points!

Without a doubt, his Prison Suppressing Divine Body could obtain another massive upgrade!

Without any hesitation, he directly issued a command to the System in his heart.

"System, use all points to upgrade the Prison Suppressing Divine Body!"

The System broadcast soon rang out.

【Ding! host command detected, executing...】

【Consuming 150,000 points. Prison Suppressing Divine Body · Second Stage level increased to Level 92!】

Hearing this, Chen Nian was instantly pleasantly surprised.

Level 92!

He had actually gained such a massive boost all at once!

Just as the System's voice faded...

"Boom—!!"

An indescribable, terrifying power, like a volcano that had slept for billions of years, erupted violently from the deepest parts of his body!

Crack!

Crack, crack!

The bones throughout his body emitted crisp sounds as if overwhelmed, but they weren't breaking; they were undergoing an extreme reshaping and reconstruction.

Every inch of bone became denser and tougher under the scouring of this power.

Next came the muscles.

Muscle fibers all over his body were torn apart, only to be rewoven and aggregated by an even stronger force in an instant.

His muscle density had reached a shocking level.

Blood surged through his vessels, making a loud noise like a roaring river.

His blood, which had previously only been slightly tinged with gold, had now completely turned into flowing molten gold, containing peerless and violent life energy.

Mysterious and ancient golden patterns emerged from beneath his skin, covering his entire body.

These patterns seemed to have a life of their own, moving across his body's surface and flashing with immortal brilliance before slowly fading and being branded deep into his bone marrow.

The upgrade process was over in a flash.

When everything settled down, Chen Nian slowly opened his eyes.

He lightly clenched his fist.

The air in his palm let out a mournful cry, unable to bear the pressure.

He felt as if his body had become a furnace containing endless power.

The power within him was more than a hundred times more violent than before!

Is this the might of the Prison Suppressing Divine Body at Second Stage Level 92?

He was satisfied to the extreme with his current state.

Furthermore, at Second Stage Level 92, he was only 8 levels away from the Level 100 Perfection.

He would soon be able to advance again!

The Second Stage Prison Suppressing Divine Body was already this powerful; he couldn't imagine how terrifying the Third Stage would be.

At the thought of such a scene, his heart burned with excitement.

Calming his excited mood, he looked at the System panel again.

Only 1,923 points remained.

This amount of points was no longer enough to upgrade the Prison Suppressing Divine Body.

However, he could still upgrade his skills.

His gaze swept over the skill bar.

Finally, it landed on "Nether Shock."

He had experienced the power of this skill many times.

Previously at Tianqiong International Group, he had relied on it to quickly clear the building.

And today in the Demon Cave, it had displayed a power that could be described as world-destroying.

Nether Shock, combined with the flight capability of the Blood Fiend Incarnation...

...turned him into a world-destroying humanoid bomber.

One Nether Shock after another almost leveled the entire ground of the Demon Cave!

That feeling of wantonly pouring out firepower was very addictive.

Without thinking, he directly ordered: "System, upgrade Nether Shock!"

【Ding! Consuming 1,200 points. Nether Shock increased to Level 3.】

The moment the System broadcast sounded...

...a pure power, full of explosiveness and destructiveness, was generated out of thin air within his body and grew rapidly.

He could clearly feel the energy source belonging to Nether Shock within him becoming more solid and violent.

He began to look forward to the next time he encountered Demonic Evils and could directly cover them with firepower.

He looked at the remaining points.

723 points.

Which one to upgrade next?

His gaze fell on Heart-Devouring Demon Silk.

This skill was incredibly powerful, cutting through iron like butter and slicing through anything; it was also a good choice.

However, upgrading it by one level required 800 points.

He was 77 points short... what a pity.

In that case, there was nothing more to say.

His gaze finally landed on the most unpretentious skill, the one that had accompanied him the longest—【Mountain-Collapsing Fist】.

To be honest, the cost-performance ratio of Mountain-Collapsing Fist was truly maximized.

It was cheap and its power wasn't weak.

At this rate, even if it only got the leftovers every time, it would still be stuffed just from drinking the soup.

Chen Nian directly ordered: "System, use all points to upgrade Mountain-Collapsing Fist!"

【Ding! Consuming 700 points. Mountain-Collapsing Fist increased to Level 21.】

The System broadcast sounded again.

A condensed and heavy power followed his Meridians and finally converged on his fists.

He could feel as if an invisible mountain range had condensed on the edge of his fists.

He felt that a punch thrown by him was no longer just pure force, but carried a terrifying Fist Intent that could suppress and destroy everything.

Now, only the final 23 points remained.

He couldn't do anything else with them.

He could only wait until he went out tomorrow to look for new targets and gain more points.

Thinking this, he closed the System panel.

The System reinforcement phase ended here, and it was time for his daily Cultivate session.

He sat cross-legged and skillfully took out three Medicinal Pills.

top-grade qi condensing pills!

The medicinal fragrance wafted everywhere, and the Spiritual Qi was striking.

Without even looking, he opened his mouth and swallowed the three pills like jelly beans.

The next second.

Myriad Things Yuan Absorption Art, activate!

"Rumble—!"

At this moment, his body seemed to turn into a massive vortex, a black hole that devoured all things!

The free Spiritual Qi in the surrounding world instantly rioted!

They were forcibly pulled by an irresistible suction, frantically converging toward Chen Nian's body, forming a visible Spiritual Qi tornado!

Vast amounts of Spiritual Qi poured into his limbs and bones through every pore of his body.

At the same time, in his mind, the System's notification sounds began to ring out frantically, one after another like a scrolling screen.
