I Collect Skill Fragments in the Demon World-Chapter 666 - 345: Major Upgrade (Part 2)

[4 Skill (Fifth Level): Water Control Technique + Weak Water (0/5000000)]

[6 Skill (Extreme): Forget Form (0/400000)]

[7 Skill (Second Level): Nine-Turns of the Returning Pill (Perfection)]

[8 Skill (Sixth Level): Body-Stabilizing Rune (0/16000000)]

[9 Skill (Fifth Level): Sealing Rune (2000000)]

[10 Skill (Fifth Level): Penetration Transformation * Piercing Stone * Dripping Water (0/4000000)]

[11 Skill (Seventh Level): Invisibility Rune (0/16000000)]

Zhang Chen’s gaze swept over the first skill, True God Golden Light, and directly passed it by. The level of True God Golden Light was sufficient for him and didn’t need upgrading.

Then his gaze swept over the second skill, and that Dragon Qi at the third level, was temporarily enough as well.

The fourth skill, Water Control Technique, was pending. Zhang Chen’s gaze fell on the sixth skill, Forget Form. This skill did need an upgrade; now that the First Heaven of the Spiritual World was gone, if he wanted to collect mysterious creations, the Second Heaven was the simplest shortcut.

Thirty-eight million Points were enough for Zhang Chen to perform an upgrade.

Zhang Chen casually tapped, and four hundred thousand experience points evaporated, and the sixth skill page on the Golden Finger Interface transformed:

[6 Skill (Extreme): Second Heaven (0/4000000)]

Zhang Chen nodded at this, and he still had thirty-seven million six hundred thousand Points left. Zhang Chen’s gaze then turned and finally landed on the Invisibility Rune.

The other skills, if upgraded, wouldn’t provide him with much immediate benefit, but that Invisibility Rune, already at the seventh level, could upgrade to the eighth level.

The eighth level is the Yin Spirit Realm, the last realm below the Yang God level. If his Invisibility Rune upgraded to the eighth level, those who could see through it would be extremely rare, enabling him to go virtually anywhere without impediment.

There aren’t many strong individuals at the Yang God level; even with the Divine Dao flourishing, Yang Gods are still extremely rare.

However, upgrading the Invisibility Rune required a high number of Points, a whopping sixteen million, taking almost half of Zhang Chen’s Points. But he chose to proceed with a slight hesitation.

With Zhang Chen’s gentle tap, sixteen million Points vanished, and the Golden Finger Interface refreshed:

[11 Skill (Eighth Level): Invisibility Rune (0/160000000)]

[Note 1: Without Pupil Technique, even eighth-level experts cannot see through your Invisibility Rune.]

Zhang Chen’s gaze swept over the Invisibility Rune page, where all the messy drawbacks were gone, leaving only a simple line of text.

"Pupil Technique, huh?" Zhang Chen thought to himself.

With twenty-one million six hundred thousand Points remaining, it wasn’t enough to upgrade Invisibility Technique. To upgrade Invisibility Technique to the ninth level to conceal from Yang God level entities required a staggering one hundred sixty million.

Is one hundred sixty million points a lot?

Of course not, as it would grant the power to conceal from Yang God True Men; one hundred sixty million points are not excessive at all.

"Which skill should I upgrade with the remaining Points?" Zhang Chen’s gaze swept across the Golden Finger Interface, aiming to utilize every Skill Point to the extreme.

Zhang Chen’s glance shifted around, landing on the Fixed Rune and Sealing Rune. Besides these two runes, the others didn’t seem to offer much immediate help.

With a slight hesitation, Zhang Chen directly added Points to the Fixed Rune, which played a substantial role during combat.

With Zhang Chen’s gentle tap, the Body-Stabilizing Rune upgraded immediately:

[8 Skill (Seventh Level): Body-Stabilizing Rune (0/160000000)]

[Note: Can stabilize any seventh-level existence]

The note was simple, and Zhang Chen’s eyes brightened: Seventh level means possession realm, the level that Fox Fairy Nannan had reached.

Now Zhang Chen had five million six hundred thousand Points left, insufficient to continue upgrading the Body-Stabilizing Rune.

Zhang Chen’s glance shifted to Divine Water Transformation, which involved means of escape, and he needed to be cautious. Fortunately, Divine Water Transformation required exactly four million Points, just enough for Zhang Chen to perform an upgrade. Then he gently tapped, and Divine Water Transformation upgraded:

[10 Skill (Sixth Level): Penetration Transformation * Piercing Stone * Dripping Water * Transfer (0/40000000)]

[Note 1: Can split into two droplets of water, which can instantly transfer within a kilometer.]

"This skill is quite treacherous!" Zhang Chen’s gaze fell upon Divine Water Transformation, his eyes filled with shock as he carefully sensed its intricacies.

This is related to Zhang Chen’s survival means, so how could he not be cautious?

"After mastering this Divine Technique, I can condense a special droplet of water and place it at a designated location. As long as I am within a kilometer, I can instantly reach that spot," Zhang Chen stroked his chin, "One kilometer is a bit short, but if used well, it’s definitely an excellent escape means. For instance, hiding underground within a kilometer, even Yang God True Men would find it nearly impossible to search out."

During a chase, Zhang Chen could drop a droplet while fleeing. When he was a kilometer away, he could use his Divine Technique to return to the original spot, easily escaping the encirclement.

A kilometer is only about two miles, and apart from the slightly greater distance, there are no other drawbacks.

"I have one million six hundred thousand Points left." Zhang Chen looked at the Golden Finger Interface, then continued to use the Devouring Skill, devouring the Ba Snake’s body.

He knew he didn’t have much time left! 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

By the afternoon of the second upgrade day, as the order of Heaven and Earth had not yet fully stabilized, the thunder in the clouds had dissipated, and the stormy clouds in the sky had disappeared. Only a faint sound of thunder rumbled in the void, but already large numbers of soldiers and martial world figures had set out, shuttling between the mountains, searching for creations that had fallen from Heaven and Earth.

The higher one’s cultivation, the greater the impact of the upheaval of Heaven and Earth. At this time, even Yang God True Men could not exert their powers, and the Yin Spirit Ancestors were still in hibernation.

Zhang Chen meditated atop the Ba Snake, directly placing an Invisibility Rune on himself, developing quietly.

It wasn’t long before someone approached. Seeing the Small Mountain-like Ba Snake, their eyes showed a trace of greed as they unsheathed a long knife to slice open the Ba Snake’s hide to let its blood flow.

The newcomer was someone Zhang Chen knew, it was that kid Chen Xu.

Chen Xu’s long knife struck the Ba Snake’s hide, sparking a shower of sparks, the knife rebounded, almost stabbing Chen Xu, the Feng Shui Master.

"What a tough snake hide, even steel would struggle to pierce it," Chen Xu’s eyes were filled with urgency; he knew that time was of the essence. If he couldn’t quickly open up the snake hide, many powerful clans would arrive, and he would miss his chance.

Seeing this, Zhang Chen shook his head, dispelled the Invisibility Technique, and shouted down to Chen Xu, "Even the Martial Dao’s first, Zhou Chuan, can’t cut through this snake hide. You’re just an ordinary person; how could you possibly cut through it?"

"Brother Zhang!" Upon seeing Zhang Chen sitting atop, Chen Xu immediately showed a joyful expression, eyes full of surprise.

Zhang Chen grinned, "You’re fast."

"I know the Qi Observation Technique; nothing can hide from my eyes if there’s treasure," Chen Xu replied, "The potential in this Great Snake is incalculable. Do you know how to break its hide?"

The Ba Snake’s blood is innate blood, containing incredible creations, and Chen Xu was certainly tempted.

Zhang Chen shook his head upon hearing this, "The Ba Snake’s hide is resilient; only a Divine Weapon can break it. I myself can’t do it. But if you want to get the Ba Snake’s blood, it’s not impossible."

"Please teach me, Brother Zhang." Chen Xu quickly said eagerly.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen smiled and slid off the Ba Snake, landing beside Chen Xu. Then, with outstretched hand, an Innate Mosquito’s proboscis pierced into the Ba Snake’s body and extracted a tube of snake blood.

For others, obtaining the Ba Snake’s blood was incredibly difficult, but for Zhang Chen, it was a simple matter.

Indeed, Zhang Chen’s Devouring Skill was too overwhelming, utterly defying logic.
