Chapter 822: Chapter 518: Enormous Gains, Exposed Inheritance! (Double-Length)

"Kill all the Great Demons here!" Hua Sichen clutched Chong Yin’s Great Demon Heart Core, his longsword still lodged in Chong Yin’s head, and coldly transmitted his voice to every Human Race Grandmaster present.

"Take action!" A few Elder Grandmasters moved first, leading the charge against the Great Demon Swarm, followed closely by other powerful figures such as Situ Ming, Huaqing Pool, and Bai Qing.

Seeing this, the remaining Martial Arts Grandmasters also had no hesitation and chose to join the fray.

Without the Demon King to anchor them, these Great Demon Swarms were completely without backbone and had no chance to resist these mighty human martial artists.

They were quickly slaughtered, wishing to escape, but due to the repulsive force of the Black Mountain still in effect, escaping without Chong Hao’s Demon King level skills was exceedingly difficult.

"Changming, how are you?" Song Changping saw Song Changming standing there in midair without moving and vaguely sensed something, immediately approaching with concern.

"Big brother, take me to rest for a bit, I’m somewhat overexerted." Song Changming’s smile was a bit stiff.

"Showing off again..." Song Changping muttered and took hold of Song Changming, retreating to a corner near the Black Mountain, temporarily away from the chaotic battle between Human Race Grandmasters and Great Demons.

"There’s no avoiding it, those Great Demons indeed had strength. Without being able to use the Master’s Power and martial skills..." Song Changming murmured, sitting cross-legged on a rock.

Even though he had refined this Witch General Seal, allowing him to unleash the powerful suppression of the Star Realm, as before when he first trained in the Witch Soldier Seal, his physical body refining cultivation was insufficient to fully wield the power of this high-level Witch Seal.

Thus an overexertion situation occurred.

And unlike other Witch Seals, this Witch General Seal not only overdrafts his entire body’s functions but also his life force, namely the remaining life span of this body.

As for how he knew this, it was naturally by seeing the decreasing numbers in the lifespan column of his personal panel every time he invoked it.

And the deducted lifespan wasn’t a minor figure.

He had tested and could confirm that when he invoked this Witch General Seal and expanded the Star Realm, on average, he consumed between one hundred to two hundred days of lifespan per minute!

The amount varied, depending on how much Power of the Stars he mobilized in the Star Realm.

Now, looking at the panel again, just a brief expansion of the Star Realm had already cost him nearly three years of his life span.

Given that his current life span exceeds three hundred years, he was otherwise reluctant to spend it this way, since it was all little by little, accumulated over time; he wouldn’t be willing to lose even a little.

For this reason, he refrained from using this Witch General Seal if he didn’t need to.

Today, forced by the three Demon Kings, he had no choice but to use it.

"Three years is three years; at least there were gains..." Song Changming consoled himself helplessly.

The Demon Blood Essence of the three Demon Kings was enough to compensate for his loss.

It’s fortunate the three Demon Kings didn’t escape.

"Little brother, your cultivation skills far surpass those of the past!" Song Chang’an followed closely, giving Song Changming a thumbs-up, exclaiming.

Slaying the three Demon Kings, the power that Song Changming displayed was extremely shocking to anyone.

Song Chang’an’s impression of Song Changming’s power was still stuck in the past, but Song Changming’s current strength far exceeded his imagination.

"Second brother, let’s stay here and protect Changming," Song Changping said seriously.

Song Changming’s overextended state indeed needed their protection, and they had no desire to participate too deeply in the human and demon battle.

Themselves being undead corpses, and not pure humans, fundamentally placed them on different sides.

"Naturally," Song Chang’an nodded, exhaling a breath of Evil Yin Qi to the surrounding area.

The Evil Yin Qi coiled around, lingering without dissipating, concealing their small space.

Seeing this, Song Changming simply continued to recover while refining the stored energy of the Immortal Fruit within his body.

Although he looked unscathed at the moment, his physical condition was quite dire.

The Red Source Immortal Fruit of the Ancient Immortal Tree, normally, a single being can only take and refine one, more would be harmful rather than beneficial.

However, extracting the Blood Essence from the three Demon Kings with the Witch Refining Technique, astonishingly also contained the Red Source Immortal Fruit energy they had consumed.

He didn’t initially notice this until after the Star Realm dissipated and the battle ended.

When he separated this portion of the Red Source Immortal Fruit energy from the Demon King’s Blood Essence, he was dumbfounded himself.

The culprit was his overly vigorous Witch Refining Technique.

Under normal circumstances, once the three Demon Kings died, the Immortal Fruit energy inside them couldn’t be retained, it would naturally dissipate.

However, since Song Changming immediately used the Witch Refining Technique to absorb the corpse, he forcibly took over the soon to dissipate Immortal Fruit energy.

Without the Witch Refining Technique, no one could have accomplished such a thorough extraction as he did.

Fortunately, he soon discovered that his Witch Refining Technique was indeed miraculous; this excess Immortal Fruit energy couldn’t be used for Grandmaster cultivation but could be used for his Witch Race Body Refinement cultivation, with effects stronger than the Demon King’s flesh.

By a twist of fate, it turned out to be good news.

However, his body now held the Blood Essence of the three Demon Kings and a large amount of mysterious Immortal Fruit energy; storing such a vast amount of external energy had pushed him to the limit.

The energy within was on the verge of losing control, quite a dangerous state.

Suddenly, Song Changping and Song Chang’an looked in the same direction.

The swirling Evil Yin Qi there began to fluctuate, and a figure broke through the Evil Yin, stepping out from within.

"Senior, what is this?"

Song Changping looked at the Frost corpse undead approaching, instinctively positioning himself between the undead and Song Changming, as he noticed the constant attention the undead paid to Song Changming, causing concern.

"Move aside," the undead spoke, his voice heavy and muffled.

"Senior?!" Song Changping didn’t back down and, sensing something amiss, Song Chang’an also stepped forward.

Song Changming also sensed the commotion, paused his refinement, and opened his eyes to look.

"Big brother, no need for this," Song Changming said.

His senses were sharp; if this undead truly intended to target him, his two brothers would certainly be unable to stop him, so it was better to face the undead directly and see his intentions.

Of course, he was also prepared to invoke his Witch General Seal again.

Song Changping hesitated for a moment, only stepping half a pace aside, clearly still uneasy.

Even though this undead senior had previously saved both brothers, if he meant to target Song Changming this time, they wouldn’t agree at all.

Song Changming met the undead’s gaze; this frost-covered undead, whether before the Immortal Tree or the Black Stele and Ancient Race Residual Soul, remained aloof without much reaction.

Seemingly uninterested in these matters.

It was only when Song Changming invoked the Witch General Seal and unfolded the Star Realm that this mysterious undead showed any significant reaction, focusing his attention on Song Changming.

"Senior, may I ask what it’s about?" Song Changming inquired directly.

The undead’s body emanated a frosty chill, an icy cold that penetrated to the bones, with eyes veiled in ice crystals, obscuring their expression.

Song Changming only knew that he was being observed, unsure of the undead’s intentions.

Suddenly, the undead spoke, asking in return.

"How do you know Witch Race techniques?"

With these words, Song Changming was momentarily stunned, the air around them seemingly stilling.

Song Changming glanced at his brothers; Song Changping shook his head, indicating they had never disclosed anything about Song Changming’s acquisition of Witch Race inheritance, something Song Changming had specifically instructed.

The Witch Race inheritance was Song Changming’s greatest opportunity, a key factor in surpassing other martial artists of the same level.

A mysterious legacy from the Ancient Era!

Until now, Song Changming had never heard anyone else mention the Witch Race, making this mysterious undead the first!
