Chapter 369: Profiting from Chaos, Devouring Spiritual Treasures

“Let’s go check it out!”

Xu Chang’an and Chu Xianyi exchanged a glance and made their decision.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

A series of massive explosions echoed from within the gray fog.

Brilliant lights of all colors flared up one after another.

Illusory images of Spiritual Treasures materialized and dispersed in mid-air.

The Demon Fiends participating in the trial were all fighting for their lives.

This time, they had discovered over a dozen Full-bodied Demon Evil Cyan Dragon Worms.

The strongest among them was a Blue Evil Cyan Dragon Worm.

With the support of the many surrounding Demon Fiends, the dozen-plus Full-bodied Demon Evil Cyan Dragon Worms were quickly slain.

However, two Demon Fiends still died during the battle.

“The Evil Qi! The Evil Qi! Quick, extract the Evil Qi!”

“Once we get the Evil Qi, the mission will be complete!”

“Don’t stop me! Anyone who stands in my way dies!”

“Get lost!”

“…”

The crowd of Demon Fiends, who had just been united, were now in complete chaos.

Each had their own agenda.

The scene was utterly chaotic.

Xu Chang’an and Chu Xianyi didn’t join the chaotic fray. Instead, they used the cover of the gray fog to hide off to the side.

“Should we make a move?”

Xu Chang’an glanced at Chu Xianyi.

With his strength, if he went all out, he could probably snatch a wisp of Evil Qi.

However, doing so would completely expose his true strength.

“Let’s wait a little longer!”

Chu Xianyi didn’t seem to be in a hurry to obtain the Evil Qi.

BOOM!

An incredibly fierce strike sent a Demon Fiend flying in Xu Chang’an and Chu Xianyi’s direction.

Xu Chang’an swept his Demon Sense over it and found it was already a corpse!

Without hesitation, Xu Chang’an enveloped it in a flash of light and stored it away.

‘This is all resources and Energy!’

Xu Chang’an’s eyes lit up.

He seemed to have discovered a new way to get rich.

“I’ll be right back!”

After saying this to Chu Xianyi, Xu Chang’an concealed his aura and began to move stealthily through the chaotic battlefield.

His strength was immense, so as long as he didn’t get drawn into the core of the battlefield, he would be completely fine.

Demon Fiends fell from time to time, but everyone’s attention was focused on the Evil Qi from the Full-bodied Demon Evil Cyan Dragon Worms.

Xu Chang’an secretly collected the corpses of several Demon Fiends.

‘What a pity!’

The chaotic battle gradually subsided, and Xu Chang’an sighed to himself.

The amount of Cyan Dragon Worm Evil Qi was limited. Once the Evil Qi was claimed and its new owners had fled, the fighting naturally died down.

‘If it had just lasted a little longer, I could have reaped even more benefits!’

‘I wonder if this is enough!’

Xu Chang’an secretly assessed his haul.

‘The Demon Fiends participating in this trial are mostly at the Late-stage Void Refining Realm. Logically, they should each possess at least two Middle-Grade Spiritual Treasures, and the resources on them ought to be substantial…’

‘Then…’

‘I’ll go and try devouring them first! It should be more or less enough!’

The idea of devouring Energy immediately formed in Xu Chang’an’s mind.

Xu Chang’an didn’t regroup with Chu Xianyi, instead leaving the area alone.

Although his relationship with Chu Xianyi was quite good now, even bordering on intimate, he was unwilling to reveal anything related to his panel and his breakthrough in front of her.

After leaving, Xu Chang’an concealed his figure. He didn’t head up the Ancient Verdant Wood; instead, he left it entirely.

In a flash of light, he deliberately chose to go in the opposite direction of the Spiritual Boat.

For Xu Chang’an, the most important thing right now wasn’t completing the Demon Fiend trial.

Breaking through to the next Great Realm—that was what mattered most!

As long as he broke through, everything else would fall into place!

After traveling for thousands of miles, Xu Chang’an found an unremarkable tree. “Unremarkable” was a relative term, of course—the tree was still immense.

Beneath the cover of the lush, dense leaves, Xu Chang’an found a branch, set up a Concealment Array, and sat down cross-legged.

‘Time to take stock of the gains!’

One by one, Xu Chang’an violently broke open the Storage Bracelets.

His Demon Sense was vast, even stronger than that of a typical Harmonization Demon Race member.

Spirit Medicine, Spirit Plants, Elixirs, Ore, Array Plates, Spirit Crystals, inheritances…

Xu Chang’an carefully took inventory.

The fallen Demon Fiends hadn’t been overly powerful; none of them had a Top-Grade Spiritual Treasure.

But in addition to these resources, Xu Chang’an had obtained a total of thirteen Middle-Grade Spiritual Treasures.

However, the Spirituality of eight of these Middle-Grade Spiritual Treasures was severely corrupted, greatly diminishing their effectiveness.

‘Time to start devouring!’

Xu Chang’an didn’t hesitate. His Demon Sense erupted, instantly invading a square-shaped Middle-Grade Spiritual Treasure.

With his current strength, he naturally broke through the defenses of the Spiritual Treasure Spirit with ease.

Soon, streams of Spirituality followed his Demon Sense and were continuously devoured by Xu Chang’an.

Finally, it transformed into streams of Energy, becoming numbers on his panel.

‘The second one!’

‘The third one!’

‘…’

Time passed, bit by bit, and the numbers on his panel steadily grew.
