After the Demon King fell, the Spiritual Power within his body quickly dissipated, leaving only a withered corpse, no different from the carcass of an ordinary wild beast.
"What a pity!"
Chen Mu shook his head regretfully.
If this were the true corpse of a Demon King, it would be incredibly valuable, but unfortunately, this is Ancient Desolate Mining Area.
The monsters in the Ancient Desolate Mining Area are mostly ordinary wild animals that have evolved into monsters due to long-term exposure to the purple mist. They do not have the high intelligence of monsters outside the area, and once they die, their bodies lose their Spiritual Power, making their corpses worthless.
Chen Mu continued forward, and the number of monsters around him gradually increased, with more and more aggressive Demon King appearing.
To increase the destructive power, Chen Mu directly condensed several tiny Spirit Particle light bullets in his hand, and he would throw one out whenever a Demon King pounced.
Any Demon King pierced by the light bullet, whether in its Early Demon King or Late Demon King, would scream and collapse to the ground. Aggressive Spirit Particle entered their bloodstream and destroyed their organs, killing them completely in just a few milliseconds.
" Little Tong, the Spirit Essence Fruit Tree is in this direction, right?"
Once inside the jungle, the towering trees blocked out the sun, causing Chen Mu to become somewhat disoriented.
"Yes, this is the right direction!"
Nangong Tong glanced around at her surroundings and smiled confidently.
The Ancient Desolate Remnant Clan have passed down the legend of the Spirit Essence Fruit Tree for generations. Their ancestors even left behind a method to find the Spirit Essence Fruit Tree, but no one has ever reached it.
"Okay, stay behind me and don't go too far!"
Chen Mu, carrying Nangong Tong, sped up and rushed towards the Spirit Essence Fruit Tree.
Whoosh...!
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Chen Mu finally found his destination outside a valley.
The reason we can be sure this is our destination is because there are not just one, but a total of nine, Demon King at the peak of the Perfected Core Formation Realm.
Nine Core Formation Realm Demon King at the perfected stage—it would be truly strange if the Spirit Essence Fruit Tree weren't here.
" Little Tong, stay here and don't move! I'll deal with them!"
"Okay! Master, be careful."
Just in case, Chen Mu waved his hand and cast a protective shield under Nangong Tong's feet, which would activate automatically when attacked.
Whoosh!
Chen Mu formed a hand seal, and his body expanded and grew larger, transforming into Dharma Aspect True Body more than ten meters tall. Then, he raised his hands high, and two huge Spirit Particle Cluster Blade gradually condensed in his hands!
roar...!!
Upon seeing Chen Mu, the nine terrifying Perfected Core Formation Realm Demon King roared angrily in succession.
Compared to the Demon King of the outside world, apart from their strength, their behavior is no different from that of ordinary wild beasts.
Boom! Boom boom...!
Some of these Demon King breathed fire, some threw stones, and some rushed out like lightning, launching a siege against Chen Mu.
Whoosh whoosh!
In Chen Mu's eyes, none of the attacks here posed any threat, because he could see how to dodge them all.
The Battle Talisman Master System Chen Mu is currently cultivating no longer has so-called combat skills and soul skills. All combat techniques are collectively referred to as "spells" by him. However, some spells are composed of runes and are sometimes still called talisman spells.
The ' Dharma Aspect True Body ' commonly used by Battle Talisman Master is one of the spells. Other spells that Chen Mu used before, such as Spirit Particle Deprivation, Spirit Particle Cluster Blade, and Myriad Phenomena All-Encompassing, all fall under the category of spells.
The spell he is currently using is " Absolute Insight," a transformation of the soul skill " Eye of the Seer."
" The Eye of the Seer " allows one to foresee the enemy's subsequent actions by comprehending the Fate Law. This technique is very effective against enemies below the Core Formation Realm, but its effectiveness is greatly reduced once they exceed the Core Formation Realm. In fact, it can even backfire on the caster if they encounter an enemy with a stronger understanding of the Rules of Heaven and Earth.
But " Absolute Insight " is different. Absolute Insight combines the power of rules, similar to the Eye of the Seer, with the caster's own combat instincts, allowing them to accurately see through the enemy's moves.
After Chen Mu invented Rune Core No. 4, he was able to construct a complete Rune Core using Spirit Particle. In addition, since the cells in his body had basically been Rune Modification, he now possessed a Biological Intelligent Brain in his sea of consciousness with computing power comparable to Rune Core No. 4.
With the assistance of this Biological Intelligent Brain, Chen Mu's " Absolute Insight " became even more terrifying.
The instant he saw his opponent make a move, he could calculate all the possible subsequent actions, what methods he could use to dodge, and what methods he could use to kill his opponent—all of this was crystal clear in his mind.
Chen Mu moved nimbly around the nine Demon King Realm Perfection of their cultivation, his moves seemingly simple and crude, yet he always managed to easily pierce their vital points with his Spirit Particle Cluster Blade at the slightest touch.
Boom! Whoosh... Boom!
In Chen Mu's hands, the nine Perfect Realm Demon King were like lambs to the slaughter, falling one after another. He only needed the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to kill all nine Perfect Realm Demon King.
"Hmm... Demon King Perfection without wisdom is still quite weak!"
If they were true Demon King at the Perfect Realm, they certainly wouldn't fight him head-on under these circumstances. If Chen Mu wanted to kill them, it would definitely take a lot of effort, and it wouldn't be as easy as it is now.
" Little Tong! It's all done, come over here!"
Chen Mu waved, and soon Chen Mu Nangong Tong flew to his side, and together Chen Mu stepped into the valley.
The valley is not large, and there are no plants around it, except for a huge fruit tree that is seven or eight meters tall in the center.
Beneath the fruit tree lay a dozen or so demonic beasts, all fast asleep, completely unaware of Chen Mu and Nangong Tong's arrival.
These monsters must not be allowed to live!
Chen Mu showed no mercy, conjuring more than a dozen Spirit Particle light bullets in his hand and shooting them into the bodies of these demonic beasts. The beasts died without even being able to scream.
Judging from the environment here, it's clear that the Demon King outside must have all broken through to become Demon King by consuming the Origin Spirit Fruit here. Otherwise, while the influence of the purple mist could transform wild beasts into demon beasts, it would never be possible for Demon King to be born.
The creatures lying on the ground were demonic beasts that were transforming into Demon King. They had no intelligence and would only kill after waking up. Keeping them alive would only cause trouble, so Chen Mu simply killed them all.
