Episode 14 – Demons Chapter 17 – Arcane Fusion, Strength Enhancement

“Breaking through from Inferior God to Intermediate God, this Laws of Heaven and Earth descending to encompass the soul, in just such a short while, the metamorphosis of the soul catches up to the effect of me absorbing those eleven amethyst crystals.”

Linley marveled in his heart for these thirty-two years.

The eleven amethyst crystals that had been purchased in the first place had naturally been refined and absorbed long ago.

Linley’s soul could be much more powerful than it had been in the past, and this time when he had reached Middle Deity, his soul had essentially been metamorphosed, a metamorphosis that was actually more effective than absorbing soul essences.

“Delia, those two soul gold beads are done absorbing, aren’t they?”

Linley looked to Delia.

Linley had also asked Delia to purchase two Soul Gold Pearls, and Delia’s soul itself improved, so at least resisting other people’s soul attacks would be better as well. That time, Delia had not only bought two Soul Gold Beads, but also an amethyst.

“Both Soul Gold Beads have been absorbed, but that Amethyst’s absorption speed is pretty slow.”

Delia sighed, “No wonder, there are a lot of people buying Soul Gold Beads and fewer people buying Amethyst.”

“Boss, when are we going to the Demon Examination.”

Bebe anxiously urged.

Bebe had been waiting for this day for a long time.

“When?”

Linley looked at the sky outside and laughed, “There’s no rush, it’s not even noon yet. Let’s go to the restaurant now and have a meal as a celebration. It won’t be too late to go to the Devil’s Castle when we’re done eating.”

“Go to the restaurant?”

Bebe’s eyes instantly lit up. When Linley and the three of them came out of the restaurant, it was already late in the evening. However, the Devil’s Castle was also hosted at night, and Linley and the others immediately set off for the Devil’s Castle. Upon arriving at the Devil’s Castle, there were instead many people in the Devil’s Castle at the moment.

Stepping into the first floor hall of the Devil’s Castle.

“Old acquaintance.”

Linley saw Yuna at the counter at a glance, and the three of them walked over.

“Ms. Yuna, we would like to take the Demon Examination.”

Linley opened his mouth.

Yuna glanced up at the trio, suddenly her eyes widened and she smiled, “It’s you three?”

Yuna had a deep impression of Linley and the others, after all, even the city lord, Lord Emperor Wing, had appeared that day. Yuna naturally remembered them clearly.

“Oh. You’ve actually reached the Median God realm.”

Yuna gave Linley a surprised look.

“Wasn’t it the last time you came over that you were already close to breaking through.”

Yuna laughed.

She wasn’t too surprised, in her opinion, the last time Linley should have been at the lower god bottleneck, and going from a lower god bottleneck to a breakthrough could be said to be fast or slow.

Linley just smiled, “Help the three of us with the demonic examination.”

Yuna glanced at Linley’s trio and nodded, “Fine. You guys know the rules, one person pays ten thousand inkstones. Three people is thirty thousand.”

Yuna smiled and reached out, and with a flip of his hand, Linley took out three zhan stone longs from his spatial ring.

After receiving the three zhan stone long strips, Yuna then took out three stamps with a demonic one-eyed pattern and handed them to Linley’s trio.

“What is this?”

Bebe inquired as she looked at the stamps curiously.

“This is proof of participation in the Demon Examination.”

Yuna laughed, “By the way, you guys tell me the address where you live, I’ll record it.”

“Ms. Yuna. You haven’t told me the mission of the Demon Examination. What do you need our address for?”

Linley wondered.

Yuna shook her head and said, “The task of the demonic examination has been waiting until you go to the demonic examination to know the clear task, and now …… no one knows. Even the time to go to the demonic examination ground cannot be determined. Because, it is generally to gather enough people. Only then will a collective Demon Examination take place.”

“Getting enough people together?”

Linley somewhat understood.

The number of people participating in a demonic examination also reached a certain level before the mission would begin.

It was impossible to determine who would enroll, so naturally, it was impossible to determine when the examination would begin.

“There’s still a wait? It won’t be decades of waiting.”

Bebe even said.

“Of course there’s no need, in fact, the day before yesterday there was a group of people who collectively went to participate in the Demon Examination. It’s just that the ending was as cruel as ever. Less than a hundred people succeeded. Too many died.”

Yuna sighed, “Oh. You guys don’t get anxious either. Usually in a month’s time, it’s almost enough to gather enough people.”

A month? Linley’s trio weren’t in a hurry.

“When the number of people for the test is gathered and the mission is finalized, at that time, our people from the Demon Castle will go to your residences to notify you. Therefore, it is necessary for you to leave your addresses.”

Yuna laughed.

Linley’s trio drifted off, and immediately left the address of their residence.

“Hi, beautiful Ms. Yuna.”

Bebe said with a playful smile, “I wanted to ask you, last time, that guy named Angel who failed twice in a row and still participated in the Demon Examination for the third time, did he succeed or fail in the Demon Examination.”

As Bebe asked this, Linley and Delia couldn’t help but look at Yuna as well.

“You mean Anji?”

Yuna smiled, “He was lucky, this third demonic examination, he succeeded. After he succeeded, he took on a long-distance escort mission out of Emperor Wing City, and I’m afraid that by now, he’s long gone out of the Yehmu Mansion’s boundaries, but of course, he might have met a dangerous end during the escort process, who knows?”

Linley and the rest of them felt grateful for Angel, no matter what, that persistent fellow had finally succeeded.

Linley and the three of them then waited at ease at their residence, who would have thought that this wait would be more than twenty days.

Emperor Wing City, within the small, secluded courtyard where Linley and the others were residing, blood-colored sunlight shone down on the courtyard as Linley was sitting cross-legged on the courtyard floor, waves of earth-yellow qi rolling across his body surface.

“Boss’s defense, it’s all far beyond a median defense artifact, and it’s still improving.”

Bebe sat on a chair, grasping the wine bottle with fruit wine in his hand and constantly drinking, “This hellish ground fruit wine, relatively inexpensive, one inkstone can buy ten bottles, drinking it, it’s much better than those fruit wines in the Yulan continent that boast how marvelous they are.”

Bebe wasn’t like Linley.

Most of Linley’s energy was spent on cultivation, but Beibei spent it on eating, drinking and having fun, and occasionally cultivating. Up.”

The earth-colored rolling waves of air on Linley’s body surface stopped churning and transformed into an earth-colored earth costume.

Within the earth system magic, there was the Earth Guardian Holy Armor.

As for the Earth Guardian Holy Armor, once one reached the Lower Deity level, one could form a Black Yul level defensive armor with their powerful spiritual and divine powers alone. But this Earth Guardian Saint Armor was only the simplest and most primitive. After Linley comprehended the elemental arcana of earth, he could form elemental armor on his body surface.

Elemental armor. The power far surpassed the Black Yul armor.

This elemental armor. The defensive power was comparable to a normal median defensive artifact.

And after comprehending earth pulsation, Linley also had pulsation defense that had slightly better defensive power than elemental armor.

It was also fortunate that Linley had fused the two great arcane mysteries of earth pulsation and the element of earth into one, and now, after combining this flowing pulsation defense with the fixed elemental armor, and then after continuous improvement, Linley had finally succeeded.

The earth-colored clothes on Linley’s body were actually pulsation armor.

If one zoomed in a million times, one could find.

Extremely subtle earth-colored divine power ripples were entangled and connected to each other, combining according to a special law to form a perfect whole. Countless divine power ripples. Eventually forming this set of clothes on Linley’s body.

Pulsating armor, formed by combining pulsating defensive elemental armor.

Defensive power that was nearly ten times that of a normal median defensive divine artifact!

“This is the power of arcane fusion land!”

Linley’s heart burst with joy, “If there was no fusion, even if I had comprehended the earth pulsation and earth element, my defense would be much weaker than it is now.”

Linley now somewhat understood.

Why there was such a large difference between the gaps between Upper Gods.

“I’ve increased my power by nearly ten times with just two Law Arcana fusions. What if three fusions? What about four fusions?”

Linley sighed with emotion, “No wonder that Crompton who refined the Godhead. In front of Lord City Lord, he was scared like that!”

Indeed.

After a Law Arcane Fusion, that power was constantly stacked.

“The Earth Pulse has reached great success and comprehended the Void Sword Wave. And now that the …… two major Laws Arcana are completely fused, the power of the Void Sword Wave has also increased by nearly ten times. Not only that. Spiritual waves were mainly, that was a soul attack! But if divine power is the main focus, that’s a material attack.”

The element of earth was originally a material attack.

And earth pulsation, generally used for soul attacks.

The fusion of the two law arcana. Not only was the Void Sword Wave powerful. Even the Element of Earth attack would be much more powerful!

“Bang!”

“Bang!” ……

Suddenly a knock sounded on the door. “I’ll open the door.”

Bebe directly leapt to the door.

Both Linley and Delia also looked towards the door, and outside the door was a black-haired youth, “You three, are you taking the Demon Examination?”

“You’re here to inform us?”

Bebe said in surprise.

The black-haired youth nodded and smiled, “Yes, the three of you will take out your demonic stamps and show them to me, don’t mind if I do, only then will I be able to ascertain your land’s identity.”

Linley’s three all flipped their hands, and the one demonic stamp appeared in their hands.

“En, you will all gather at the gates of Emperor Wing City tomorrow morning and prepare to go to the examination, there will be people from our Demon Castle there to receive you.”

This black-haired youth said with a smile.

“Tomorrow morning?”

The three of them, Linley, were all looking forward to it somewhat.

“What about the demonic examination quest?”

Delia inquired.

The black-haired youth shook his head, “That I don’t don’t know, but the demonic examination tasks will all be explicitly told to you when you go to the assembly.”

“At that time, when you go to the city gates, the people of the Demon Castle won’t recognize you, you only need to show this Demon Stamp, and you’ll be fine.”

After the black-haired youth finished speaking, he left.

Linley’s three looked at each other.

“Wow, boss, we’re going to become demons soon too.”

Bebe was looking forward to it very much.

“Demon examination?”

Linley’s heart was set on the idea that no matter what, protecting Delia and Bebe was the most important thing.

“Perhaps, I’m afraid that Bebe doesn’t need me to protect her yet.”

Linley glanced at Bebe.

Early the next morning, Linley and the three of them set off early for the city gates, and when they arrived at the city gates, they had already discovered large metal beings hovering on the ground outside of the city, as well as demonic pattern markings on the metal beings.

“There seems to be quite a few of them.”

Linley could see quite a few silhouettes inside through the transparent windows of the metal being.

Linley’s trio immediately flew over towards the metal being, and there was a silver-haired old man standing at the entrance to the metal being’s passageway as he looked towards Linley’s trio: “You’re participating in the demonic examination?”

“En.”

Linley’s trio nodded.

“Please produce the demonic stamp.”

There wasn’t a single smile on the silver-haired old man’s face.

After seeing the demonic stamp on the ground in Linley’s trio’s hands, the silver-haired old man nodded slightly, “Go in.”

After entering the interior of the metal life, there was a wide corridor which led to the front and back directions respectively. There was also someone on the corridor, and when that person saw Linley’s trio, he opened his mouth and said, “Those who are participating in the demonic examination, enter the rear cabin.”

As soon as they entered the back cabin.

“So many people!”

Linley couldn’t help but be startled.

“Boss, there are hundreds of people.”

Bebe marveled.

Delia also exclaimed, “And the people aren’t even here yet, Linley, let’s make it to the side.”

Saying that, Linley’s trio found a place to sit down, a row for every twenty people in the back of the cabin, with four corridor passages separating them in a row.

Bebe looked out through the transparent window, “There’s so many people coming up in an endless stream right now… Hehe, boss, look, there’s even people with demonic medallions coming. And there are quite a few of them.”

“What’s a bunch of demons doing here?”

Linley looked over as well.

But at this glance, Linley’s face suddenly changed.

He had seen a familiar face!

Bebe was surprised as well, “Boss, that stinking bald guy is here as well!”
