Demon Castle

When a god-level being sensed a spiritual sense probe and also chose to release spiritual sense, logically speaking, two people at the same realm meant that you could see him and he could see you.

If one could not discover the other's spiritual sense, then that was strange!

Of course, this did not rule out the possibility that a small number of god-level beings possessed more powerful soul innate abilities, such as divine beasts that focused on the soul, but overall, it was still necessary to be a bit cautious.

Linley frowned...

It is best to use spiritual sense probes that exceed the normal god-level range with caution in the future!

Linley adjusted his mindset and began to test amplitude in other aspects, especially the fusion with divine power.

He raised his left hand, which was coated with a layer of blue lightning divine power, and swept it across his right arm like a blade. After trying multiple times, he drew his conclusion: the attack power amplitude was ten times! The defense power amplitude was ten times!

Linley took a thrilled, deep breath.

My divine power quality is already on par with a high-level god. Although the divine domain still cannot compare, the defense power is enough to make up for this. Broadly speaking, my strength is at least close to the six-star demon level!

Even Linley himself felt pleasantly surprised upon calculating it. These soul gold beads provided an excessively large strength amplitude for him, though this mainly relied on magnetic field power; otherwise, he would just be at the standard of a normal tri-fusion mid-level god.

If I also had a high-level god artifact for attacks with a matching attribute in the lightning element, as well as a high-level god defense artifact, that would be even better. I would be considered a strong person even among six-star demons.

Linley suddenly felt a bit eager to move, his blood boiling, and he calculated inwardly, At this rate of development, once I break through to a high-level god, my strength will be among the strong even among seven-star demons!

This was still under the worst-case scenario of maintaining the fusion of three profound mysteries, with the ten-fold amplitude of magnetic field power remaining unchanged and without developing powerful moves!

High god power was ten times stronger than mid-level god power, and the high-level god domain was ten times stronger than the mid-level god domain. Linley's main advantage was still the divine power quality enhanced by magnetic field power.

In reality, after Linley became a high-level god, his soul would also receive a precious opportunity for baptism by the laws of heaven and earth. By then, his upper limit would rise once again, inevitably driving the magnetic field power to become stronger.

There was also his physical body, which could improve day by day through accumulation, in turn continuously driving the magnetic field power to become stronger.

With these favorable factors superimposed in a virtuous cycle, it was simply unimaginable just how exaggerated Linley's upper limit would be.

Countless thoughts surfaced, and gradually, Linley made a decision in his heart.

The environment of Hell is too dangerous, and who knows when an undeserved disaster will fly in without any logic or reason. Even a genius needs time to grow up, and moreover, the prelude to the faith war between overgods has already begun. The situation will only become more and more chaotic.

He decided to temporarily give up fusing the fourth profound mystery, adjust his route, and go all out to comprehend the remaining profound mysteries to become a high-level god.

Depending on magnetic field power to gain strength close to or even at the Asura level was enough for him to steadily grow in Hell. It would merely mean taking a bit more time to fuse profound mysteries in the future.

Beneath the large tree in the courtyard, two men sat by a stone table, chatting and laughing while drinking tea.

Thomas raised his hand, caught a leaf drifting with the wind, and sighed sincerely, "The quality of life in this city is simply too good. It's a pity I have no money; otherwise, no matter what, I would live here forever."

Corey took a sip of clear tea, his eyes half-closed, savoring the bitterness and lingering sweetness slowly spreading on the tip of his tongue, and chuckled, "There's no need to envy others. With leader Linley commanding, it will be more than enough to build a city of our own in the future. By then, all of us people will be veteran-level existences."

Thomas beamed with joy and nodded, agreeing, "Well said!"

Weren't these people who threw in their lot under Linley's command just investing in the future?

Happily, Thomas added a superfluous remark, "Originally, I even wanted to give the soul gold granules to Linley, but unfortunately he didn't want them."

Who would have thought that Corey would chuckle and say, "Same here. Actually, I'm just like you."

The stronger Linley became, the more beneficial it was to the tribe members. Especially since he had recently become a god through the destruction rule and experienced the damage of soul tearing, his demand for replenishing his soul was even greater.

Thomas and Corey exchanged glances and couldn't help laughing out loud, not expecting that they had all thought the same thing.

At that moment, Thomas shouted in pleasant surprise, "Linley has emerged from seclusion!"

Corey looked back and sure enough, he saw Linley walking over with a spirited expression, seeming in high spirits. Linley smiled and greeted them, "It's about time. Let's head back to the Tianlan Tribe."

Thomas suggested, "Linley, should we go to the Demon Castle to take the test for a demon identity? That way, it will be more convenient to enter the city in the future."

Linley thought for a moment and nodded. "That works too. It might just delay us a bit more time. Corey, you and Donald can notify the others."

Corey had achieved external godhood, and his saint-level true body remained in the Tianlan Tribe, which happened to make him responsible for transmitting information.

Corey nodded. "I understand."

A hint of excitement and anticipation appeared on his face.

The identity of a demon was the symbol of the elites of Hell. He had also fantasized about it many times, but lacked the courage to try. After all, the mortality rate of demon missions was far too high!

Those mid-level gods whose moves, experience, and foundations were insufficient would most likely just go to their deaths and serve as background support for others.

Following Linley to participate in the assessment this time, the chances of success would definitely be much greater.

The three of them headed toward the Demon Castle...

Compared to Black Sand Castle and Blood Peak Castle, the pedestrians on the streets near the Demon Castle were much sparser. The occasional god-level beings heading there walked with their chests out and heads held high, wearing demon medals, while those around them wore expressions of envy and admiration.

Demons were the elites of Hell. It could be said that among the same realm, weaklings practically did not exist; where the strong were respected, naturally they received people's reverence.

Linley, Thomas, and Corey arrived at the first-floor lobby. The people here had decreased significantly, with an estimated hundred people around.

At the demon application counter.

This place was clear at a glance and extremely conspicuous. Seated there was a female bartender with long blue hair and curled, forked bangs on both sides, while the shelves behind her displayed bottles of fine wine in various colors.

It was Linley's first time coming, so he found it very novel. He wasn't in a rush to go to the counter, instead casually observing the environment around him. In fact, there was no shortage of people like him here; as long as you didn't cause trouble, nobody paid attention to you.

"Arena, get me a Firebird, in a red bottle!"

A beauty with smooth, glossy black hair and exquisite, flawless features casually slapped a dark stone onto the counter, wearing a demon medal on her towering chest.

"Are there any missions suitable for me?"

The female bartender, namely Arena, frowned and advised, "Mariana, you should still steady yourself a bit recently. You were already very lucky to survive your failed assessment last time. Even if not for yourself, you should do it for Aaron and Lisa."

"Tsk, Arena, you aren't unaware of my situation. I simply cannot comprehend the threshold for the sixth profound mystery of the fire element. If I don't push myself, how can I help Claude share the pressure? Those people under Roy are annoying to death."

While complaining, Mariana urged her to serve the wine, her voice completely unmasked, causing many people in the lobby to look over.
