Chapter 1035 (2/2)

”However, by that time, we had already lost countless powerful beings to those abhorrent creatures. Furthermore, the most terrifying trait of Possession Demons is that they can't be killed. They can infect and control all physical, spiritual, and energy attacks, and they're especially adept at taking over projected attacks, just like your golden dragon attacks. I truly didn't think that you'd be able to kill them; this is absolutely brilliant news!”

Tang Wulin was quite flabbergasted to hear this. From the sounds of it, these Possession Demons were even more powerful than Black Empresses! At the very least, Black Empresses and Demonic Enchantresses possessed physical bodies, so they could be defeated, but these Possession Demons were completely different. During his battle against that Possession Demon, he had been struck by a sense of powerlessness, as if none of his attacks were going to work.

Even his Bluesilver Emperor vines, which possessed immense life force energy, were only able to force back the creature, and it was only his Golden Dragon Spear that was able to kill it in the end.

Blood One continued, ”Thankfully, even though Possession Demons are extremely fearsome, their numbers are very limited. Also, after many years of research, we've deduced that each Possession Demon can only use their possession ability three times in its life, so they won't just go around possessing anyone. Once possession is successfully completed, a Possession Demon will gradually completely control its host, transforming all of its host's abilities into their own abilities, and at the same time, they also possess some special abilities of their own.

”You're very lucky in that the Possession Demon you encountered most likely hasn't possessed anyone yet. If you had encountered one that had already possessed someone and taken their abilities, they would be a lot more powerful and very difficult to handle. Hence, formless Possession Demons are indeed quite terrifying, but Possession Demons with physical forms are even more fearsome!”

Tang Wulin drew a sharp breath upon hearing this. The innate ability of these Possession Demons was way too fearsome!

Blood One appraised Tang Wulin with an intense gaze. ”There will never be a total of more than 36 Possession Demons at any time, and only after one of them dies will another one be born. However, we don't know what circ.u.mstances will result in death for them. At the very least, we've never managed to kill a single Possession Demon on the battlefield, so you've created history. On top of that, you killed a new Possession Demon that hasn't yet had a chance to possess anyone, which means that their numbers have been permanently lowered to 35. This is definitely a significant contribution, and I'll be reporting this to request a reward for you.”

Tang Wulin looked down at his Blood G.o.d Bracelet. ”But I don't seem to have earned any accolades for this.”

A wry smile appeared on Blood One's face. ”That's because no Possession Demon has ever been killed before, so it's naturally not in the system. However, we can add it specifically for you now. Of course, you were elevated to the major general rank very quickly, so you actually owe the legion a lot of accolades; that debt can be settled by the accolades you earned from killing this Possession Demon.”

Tang Wulin's lips twitched upon hearing this. That sounded very shady! So the promotion that he had earned after defeating Blood Nine wasn't actually free!

In reality, this made sense. The former Blood Nine had already acc.u.mulated enough accolades to promote him to the senior colonel rank, so after he was defeated by Tang Wulin, he reverted back to that rank. If he had already earned enough accolades to earn a promotion to the major general rank, then even after being dethroned as Blood Nine by Tang Wulin, he would still be a major general.

Furthermore, an astronomical number of accolades was required for a senior colonel to be promoted to the major general rank.

”This is a very important matter that I have to inform the legion commander about. Don't venture into the abyssal pa.s.sageway in the near future. The fact that you've killed a Possession Demon will most definitely have alerted the abyssal plane, so if you go again, I'll be accompanying you. However, now is not the time to make that trip; we still have to make more preparations, and you also need to improve.”

Tang Wulin departed while Blood One looked on with an excited and contemplative gaze. He reflexively clenched his fists. He was seeing more and more hope from Tang Wulin, and he knew that Tang Wulin was the key to truly eradicating the threat of the abyssal plane.

It was going to take an extremely long time to achieve that goal, but at the very least, there was finally a ray of hope after several dozens of generations of arduous efforts from the members of the Blood G.o.d Legion.

If it were possible to leave this place behind, no one would want to stay in this G.o.dforsaken land of ice and snow!

Furthermore, the threat of the abyssal plane was a ticking time bomb that was going to explode sooner or later, so it had to be permanently addressed at some point.

During the next few days, Tang Wulin continued to compete every day, alternating between Soul Master battles and mecha battles. The rest of his time was spent in cultivation, and every day pa.s.sed by in a routine yet busy manner for him.

Long Yuxue didn't come to find him again, and she didn't even come to visit him while he was forging, so he didn't know what her condition was like.
