Absolute Destiny Game-Chapter 1179 - 32: The Missing Boss_2
Looking at this Demon Core, Xiao Jie hesitated for a moment. He had thought about giving it to An Ran, but the Fierce Fang Sky Slayer was so powerful, and the residual spirit and furious will contained within its Demon Core were sure to be extraordinary. An Ran’s strength is still shallow, and her temperament hasn’t been tempered enough. Using it recklessly might not only be unhelpful but could also erode her and possibly influence her mind with demon thoughts, with unimaginable consequences. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
"Forget it, I should refine and absorb it myself, extracting its purest parts." Xiao Jie made a decisive decision.
He didn’t look for a quiet chamber or set up a formation, for an Immortal, the whole world can be a furnace, and a thought is true fire. He sat cross-legged directly on a piece of charred rock, and cupped the restless Demon Core in his palm, activating the Demon Refining Technique.
Since becoming an Immortal, this was the first time he refined a Demon Core. As immortal power probed slightly, he could immediately feel the extreme complexity of the spiritual energy within this Demon Core. Various incompatible and even devouring demon powers and nature’s spiritual energy gathered within, forming a highly unstable energy mixture.
This demon’s inner core is indeed quite twisted.
Forced absorption would certainly lead to impure immortal power and might even trigger a Heart Demon. Xiao Jie couldn’t help but admire his past self when he was still mortal, back then he wasn’t afraid of anything and dared to draw all sorts of chaotic spiritual energy into his body, surprisingly he didn’t go astray, it was really luck.
Now, as an Immortal, his Spiritual Sense is extraordinarily sharp, his immortal power pure and refined, easily discerning the attributes, purity, and potential hazards of the various energies within the Demon Core. He carefully manipulated his immortal power, like the most precise surgical blade, meticulously separating and sorting the chaotic energies within the Demon Core.
He slowly guided out the purest strand of spiritual energy, merging and assimilating it into his own Immortal Spirit Qi. The other excessively violent, negatively charged, or attribute-conflicting energies were directly rejected, allowed to turn into wisps of green smoke, dissipating into the world.
Simultaneously, Xiao Jie’s Immortal Sense delved into the core of the Demon Core, indeed capturing a strong, chaotic, and violent Demon Spirit Remnant Thought. He immediately activated the Soul Refining Secret Technique he learned long ago from the Netherworld Mysterious Record, like flipping through a diary full of blood and slaughter, stripping and examining the information fragments contained within these remnant thoughts.
Most of them were merely memory fragments about how to lurk, track, pounce, and tear prey, as well as battle techniques and exertion methods based on bodily instincts. To Xiao Jie, who stood on a higher level, these crude killing skills were of little value.
"Hmm? This feeling... is interesting." Suddenly, he let out a quiet sound, his Immortal Sense locking onto a memory fragment not regarding specific skills, but concerning a certain perception instinct. He carefully extended his finger, Immortal light swirling at the fingertip, gently guiding, extracting this relatively complete and pure instinct imprint from the chaotic remnant thoughts.
At the moment he completed this operation, a series of system prompts sounded in his mind:
[System Prompt: You have refined the Demon Core of the Fierce Fang Sky Slayer, extracting a strand of pure spiritual energy. Your maximum Spiritual Energy Value has permanently increased by 360 points.]
[System Prompt: You have gained 13,579 experience points.]
[System Prompt: You have refined and mastered a rare skill from the residual spirit of Fierce Fang Sky Slayer: Life Sensing.]
Xiao Jie hurried to check it out.
[Life Sensing (Biological Instinct/Passive)]
Effect: You have an extraordinarily acute perception ability towards life aura, able to clearly sense all living units within a certain range around you (expanding with increased Spirit Attribute), regardless of whether they are in Invisibility, Stealth, disguise, or illusion obscuration. All sensed life units will be marked in real time with different brightness and colored light points on your mini-map and consciousness perception.
Skill Introduction: Fierce Fang Sky Slayer was crafted into the ultimate hunting machine by the Demon Star Tower Master, and this ability is its core talent for tracking and locking onto prey, derived from the ultimate capture of life’s fundamental wave, nearly at the law level, hence can ignore most conventional concealment methods.]
"Not bad at all!" Xiao Jie’s eyes lit up, carefully experiencing this newly obtained instinct. Although it couldn’t directly boost attack power or defensive power, its support role in battle, especially when dealing with concealed enemies or complex environments, was indeed a Divine Skill! "No wonder this thing could so quickly discover oneself in Invisibility, it turns out to rely on this nearly bug-like perception ability."
The fourth item was an old acquaintance again—a slightly pulsating, exuding eerie red glow Demon Star Blood Core. It seemed this thing should be a standard for every Demon Master, the core carrier of the evolution power granted by the Demon Star.
Have to say, hunting World Bosses really feels great! Xiao Jie collected his four spoils one by one, feeling delighted. Each of these drops is top-grade, even capable of providing quite a good supplement and enhancement to his current Immortal-level strength. Whether it’s Equipment Effect, material value, or skill acquisition, they far surpass ordinary Monsters.
"Let’s keep it up, next one!" With this taste of success, Xiao Jie was full of drive, immediately riding his cloud, heading towards the territory of the third World Boss marked on the map—the ruler of the Hidden Abyss Clan, the massive clawed Monster Ao Gu Zi. A creature adept in water warfare, with a shell harder than refined steel.
