Starting With 100 Million Lives
Chapter 886: Skill Enhancement
At this moment, everyone could finally see Sect Leader Jiang's Immortal Soul clearly.
"Demon Lord!"
"Demon Lord, you're still alive?"
The Demon Emperors such as White Tiger, Kunpeng, and Ancient Ape were overjoyed and rushed forward one after another.
"Hahaha, this is great!"
"You gave us quite a scare; we thought you died just now."
"Who would have thought that after your soul-body separation, you would still have such terrifying power, it's simply incredible!"
"Yes, yes, it's just too strong…"
"If we had known you were this strong, what were we worried about?"
Listening to their flattery, Brother Cheng was very pleased.
Then he pointed to the spot where Cai Ying had been killed earlier and resurrected the Little Sparrow Demon back to life.
After this battle, although there were still some Demon Emperors hidden in secret places evading death, the Holy Hall was all but dead in name.
Even if those people come back to life, they can't change anything.
Brother Cheng, with a group of Demon Emperors, emptied the Holy Hall, then had them pack up and prepare the Demon Realm.
Miao Yu couldn't help asking, "What about the entrance to the Profound Realm?"
"Simple."
Brother Cheng gave a mysterious smile and then his Immortal Soul flew back to the top of the high platform.
Those thousands of Quasi-Emperors and other Demon Cultivators had all fled far away, cautiously and fearfully peeking in this direction.
Looking at his Immortal Soul, they felt that escaping was pointless.
That battle just now was too terrifying, far beyond their scope of understanding.
"Back then, the Holy Hall and the Immortal Alliance dealt with my Feixian Sect, as you all know."
"As long as you haven't joined the Holy Hall and aren't against the Demon Realm, I have no enmity towards you."
Hearing this, many Quasi-Emperors slowly flew back out.
Mainly because they knew well that if Jiang Cheng truly wanted to kill them, he wouldn't need to lie, he could just do it.
"I suppose you also know, the Immortal Artifacts from before were all refined by me."
"If you still want me to help refine Tier Nine Immortal Artifacts, it can be arranged…"
Before he finished, the thousands of Quasi-Emperors below exclaimed in surprise.
"What?"
"Sect Leader Jiang, you're actually willing to help us refine Immortal Artifacts?"
"Long live Sect Leader Jiang!"
"As expected of a ruler of a realm, such magnanimity is truly humbling…"
These words were heartfelt.
If they were in Jiang Cheng's position with such power, they might not be able to refrain from attacking unrelated people.
And now Jiang Cheng not only didn't kill them but also continued to give them the opportunity to cooperate, how could they not be moved?
"Sect Leader Jiang, just tell us, what do we need to do?"
"Yes, what do we need to do for you to help us refine Tier Nine Immortal Artifacts?"
Brother Cheng laughed heartily, "Simple, help me guard the entrance to the Profound Realm."
"The Immortal Alliance and Holy Hall are blocking the entrance, preventing the Celestial Pavilion from trading with the Profound Realm."
"The Celestial Pavilion is under my banner, you understand."
"Whoever makes the most effort or kills the most members of the Immortal Alliance and Holy Hall, I'll refine artifacts for them at that time."
Everyone looked at each other in astonishment, this was asking them to go to war with the Immortal Alliance and Holy Hall.
But on second thought, the Holy Hall has already been crippled, so there's nothing to be afraid of.
Besides, among them were Demon Emperors and Quasi-Emperors, combined, their strength was not inferior to those two forces.
So, everyone quickly patted their chests.
"No problem!"
"We will go defend the entrance to the Profound Realm right away!"
"Together, together!"
Some Quasi-Emperors directly started discussing with other Quasi-Emperors, planning to hunt down members of the Immortal Alliance and Holy Hall all over.
And finally, Brother Cheng tossed out one more line.
"This promise is also valid for the Quasi-Emperors over in the Immortal Realm!"
Hearing this, the Jiu Jue Immortal Emperor turned pale with anger.
"Damn it!"
"Quickly withdraw everyone from the entrance to the Profound Realm!"
Because of Jiang Cheng's one sentence, the Immortal Alliance will face countless attacks in the future.
Where would they have the opportunity to attack others?
If they can protect themselves, that would be good enough.
After those Quasi-Emperors scattered, Miao Yu beamed with delight.
She knew that the trade routes of the Celestial Pavilion had been reopened.
Even Elder Cyan Dragon was surprised, "Who would have thought you could come up with this plan, leveraging the Quasi-Emperors of both Immortal and Demon Realms to deal with the Immortal Alliance and Holy Hall, this skill of using a borrowed knife to kill truly leaves no trace!"
Brother Cheng secretly curled his lips.
What borrowed knife to kill, he didn't think about that much.
The reason he asked Quasi-Emperors to help guard the entrance to the Profound Realm was because he didn't want to waste time there.
Just think, even if he can cheat, he's still only one person.
If he drives the people away today, they might come back tomorrow once he leaves.
When would it ever end?
Does he have to set up camp near the entrance to the Profound Realm and live there forever?
Of course, it's easier to use artifact refining as a condition to have those Quasi-Emperors work for him, since refining is just a flick of the wand, and he can earn materials for free.
After dealing with the Holy Hall's matters, Jiang Cheng then led a group of Demon Emperors back home.
The Demon Realm had long received the news, and countless members of the Demon Race came to welcome them.
Aside from welcoming the Demon Lord, Cai Ying had truly become a big hero in the Demon Realm.
As soon as she appeared, countless members of the Demon Race gathered around her.
The scene was just like spectators meeting a major celebrity.
This time following the Demon Lord, Cai Ying not only gained many benefits but also became very famous, grabbing a lot of attention, making other members of the Demon Race incredibly envious.
Especially those Sparrow Demons, their eyes turned red with jealousy, regretting not taking the same path.
Upon returning to the Grand Demon Palace, Brother Cheng's Immortal Soul returned to completeness after repositioning.
This trip to the Demon Realm yielded him significant gains.
He earned a fortune by refining artifacts for others and looting on battlefields, plus the resources seized from the Holy Hall were simply massive.
For Cai Ying, the 'hero' who died three times, he didn't treat her poorly.
He directly gave her the three pieces of the Emperor Realm Enlightenment Jade Talisman from the Evangelical Assembly and rewarded her a large amount of Demon Essence, also helping her improve her talent in the end.
It was essentially a fated reversal for this Little Sparrow Demon.
As for how far she can grow in the future, it all depends on her own fortune.
After dealing with all of this, Brother Cheng checked his Merit and finally remembered the system hadn't upgraded in a long time.
The 10 billion Merit needed for an upgrade was nothing for him at this point.
So he clicked without hesitation.
The system panel changed, revealing new values.
Level: 15
Merit: 0/1000000000000
Available Merit: 1563134267984
Current Skill: The host can consume Merit to swap with any target, no cooldown.
Note: The stronger the target, the longer the swap duration, the higher the Merit's consumption, the system is not within the swap range.
Subordinate Skill: The host can consume Merit to forcibly enhance an already mastered skill once, no cooldown.
Note: The higher the skill's value, the more Merit needed.
Forcibly enhancing a skill?
What does that mean?
Could it be…
He suddenly thought of something, and his expression turned extremely incredulous.
Is this skill meant to break the plane's limits?
For example, upgrading Tier Nine Artifact Refining Technique to Tier Ten?
Or elevating Eighth Layer Profound Pattern to Ninth Layer?
If that's the case, then it's too overpowered!
