255: New gameplay

The Yao Race achieving a Demon Body is similar to Human Race Cultivators achieving a Golden Core; both have grade divisions.

There aren't specific terms like 'Shattered Core,' 'Mixed Core,' or 'Rainbow Core'; it's simply Nine-Grade to One-Grade, straightforward and crude.

Different Demon Bodies possess varying power; the strength gap between a One-Grade and a Nine-Grade is so vast that it might lead one to mistakenly believe it's the difference between a Nascent Soul and a Demon Body.

And a 4th Grade Demon Body, corresponding to a 4th Grade Star Core in cultivation, is extraordinarily powerful and possesses boundless might.

Even after death, countless years passed, and even the descendants of its own Bloodline Legacy no longer knew the ancestor's past.

The moment the Tomb opened and Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi surged in,

the corpse still managed to stand upright, shaking Heaven and Earth.

"Damn it, this is completely exposed now. We won't get any good benefits."

Dugu Wan Jian's face was filled with pain.

In the tombs of Yao Race Cultivators, what is truly precious is not Heaven And Earth Treasure, but the Great Demon's corpse itself.

He came here aiming for a Demon Body-level Yao Race corpse.

But now that the Yao Race corpse is exposed, and Human Race and Yao Race from all around are coming upon hearing the news, it will be difficult for him to acquire it.

"Sigh..."

With no other choice, Dugu Wan Jian could only gracefully depart and head to the Human Race front line... The Jinglei Mountain battle was extremely fierce.

The Golden Core Cultivators above indeed had their own ideas.

But the Cultivators at the bottom truly fought with hatred.

New players like Da Quan Knight, after becoming disciples of Sheep Demon Kumu Daoren, also ventured together on the front line, capturing several checkpoints.

Especially the high ground of Jinglei Mountain, which changed hands hundreds of times, and the Human Race and Yao Race who died there exceeded hundreds of thousands in a short period.

The scale of the battle was far greater than the previous Mingshui Heaven struggle, attracting more and more streamers, and consequently, more and more reports about it.

Just when everyone thought this great war would escalate further, drawing in more and more players,

a mountain peak suddenly exploded, and a gigantic bird Demon corpse, taller than the mountain itself, emerged from it, growing continuously as it absorbed Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

Everyone was stunned.

"Holy crap, what is that thing?"

"It looks like a Great Demon?"

"But why is it so strangely shaped? It looks like it's dead?"

A group of low-level Cultivators stared with wide eyes.

Initially, many players were still gathered near Jinglei Mountain, continuing to fight over it.

But as a shocking piece of news spread, everyone abandoned their battle objectives.

And that news was—

"4th Grade Demon Body born!"

At first, players didn't know what this meant.

Soon, veteran players provided explanations:

"A 4th Grade Demon Body is similar to a 4th Grade Star Core in the Cultivation Realm."

"Experts of this level, even after death, their corpses will affect Heaven and Earth."

"What appears to be merely a lifeless corpse will, as Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi surges in, continuously manifest the power of a 4th Grade Demon Body."

"Eventually, blood will flow again within its body, and flesh and blood will regrow."

"And the most amazing thing is that as its corpse revives, it will also trigger changes in the surrounding Heaven and Earth."

"Falling blood will transform into precious Spirit Medicine."

"Wriggling flesh will transform into myriad Spirit Ores."

"Ultimately, the corpse will no longer be able to sustain itself, and the abundant Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi will merge with its power."

"It will completely collapse, transforming entirely into abundant spiritual resources."

"To put it simply, a treasure vault is about to open right now."

When this news broke, all the players were stunned.

"What the hell are we fighting Jinglei Mountain for?!"

"Damn it, we fight to the death for such meager rewards, but this 4th Grade Demon Body is a mobile supreme treasure!"

"I don't care anymore, whoever wants to fight Jinglei Mountain can fight it, I'm going to grab treasures!"

For a time,

whether it was the Yao Race faction or the Human Race faction,

the players stopped obeying orders.

Their unorganized and undisciplined nature was fully displayed.

Everyone surged towards the 4th Grade Demon Body in a chaotic rush.

At this point, the Golden Core players who had planned the Jinglei Mountain battle were dumbfounded.

The Great Demons responsible for defense were also dumbfounded.

Soon, both sides tacitly shifted the battle area, beginning to fight around the 4th Grade Demon Body.

The most interesting thing was that the Golden Core Experts who had originally been slacking off actually started fighting seriously for the 4th Grade Demon Body.

For a time, the sky was a terrifying sight, with myriad Flying Swords and feathers obscuring the heavens.

A single falling stream of light, striking the ground, instantly transformed a large section of mountains into a massive crater, with the Human Race and Yao Race within turning into dust in swathes.

The aftershocks of a Golden Core Expert were simply unbearable for ordinary players.

At this point, the low-level players realized:

The 4th Grade Demon Body was completely beyond their reach.

"Damn it, this reminds me of when the Golden Core Tomb opened before, and the people from the Three Great Sects ended up taking all the spoils!"

"It's the same this time; the Golden Core Experts will definitely take the lion's share, maybe even everything. We won't get any benefits at all."

The players' faces turned ashen.

But soon, someone discovered something different:

"Wait, everyone."

"Think about it: after the Golden Core Tomb opened, Clarity Qi was indeed released, and treasures appeared everywhere, but the main haul was still within the Tomb."

"At that time, we players didn't know what treasures were in the Tomb; they were completely taken by the people from the Three Great Sects."

"And because all the good treasures were in one place, they easily achieved a monopoly."

"The subsequent fall of the Grotto-Heaven was the same."

"But this time, the situation is different!"

"Although we don't know how this Great Demon corpse was directly exposed, it clearly wasn't controlled by an Expert immediately."

"So, as the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and the Demon Body's power continuously intertwine, the treasures it scatters will also continuously fall around, not confined to a specific area."

"More importantly, this time it's not a joint division by Golden Core Experts who have reached an agreement, but rather Human Race and Yao Race Golden Cores fighting against each other."

"This means that this time there are two characteristics: a wide area where treasures fall, and Golden Core Experts being stretched thin."

"Therefore, we low-level players just need to wait for a while, and we will definitely get some benefits!"

Sure enough.

After this news spread,

as the Great Demon corpse continuously moved, more and more areas received falling treasures.

The powerful Golden Core-level forces also continuously competed for treasures, becoming more dispersed.

As a result, the top-tier treasures were naturally out of reach for players, and the related areas became forbidden zones for low-level players.

However, in many other areas, there was no suppression from Golden Core Experts, only some aftershocks. Although still dangerous, players could now enter to search for treasures.

And so, Kumu Daoren gathered his disciples who were willing to make sacrifices.

"Everyone, as you know, for low-level Cultivators like us to climb higher, we need a lot of resources."

"Especially to achieve a Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, we definitely need spiritual resources produced from a Great Demon."

"So, with the birth of this 4th Grade Demon Body, we absolutely cannot miss this opportunity!"
