I can find treasures in my dreams.

Yang Fan had a sudden thought and added a dot.

The attribute changed.

Physical Strength: 1635

[Spirit value: 3282]

【Yuan Gang: 46124】

In recent months, my physical strength has increased by nearly 140 points, and my mental strength has increased by more than 200 points.

The mermaid was extremely surprised, but he wasn't entirely satisfied.

Now that he has this huge amount of True Source Points, it is enough for him to advance to a high-level knight, a quasi-Venerable, and it is not impossible for him to even advance all the way to a Venerable.

If you add 10 points to both your physical and mental attributes every day, you can reach the Venerable level of 10000 points in just a few years.

This is ridiculously fast.

Under normal circumstances, the training time required to go from knight to venerable is usually measured in "hundreds of years".

There are many who take three or four hundred years to advance to the Venerable level, and those who advance within a hundred years can be considered geniuses.

Besides.

Yang Fan also had an unexpected gain.

A faint, blood-red light, radiating an illusory crimson flame, floated motionless before his eyes.

This is none other than the essence of the soul.

Last time, in order to seize a high-level treasure, he refined the soul of the Blue Lion Man Bond and obtained the purest soul essence.

Soul essence is a level higher than soul essence.

Simply put, the biggest difference between the two is that the essence of the soul contains an understanding of the laws.

The loss of a portion of the Holy Son's soul essence is undoubtedly a devastating one.

Yang Fan couldn't help but smile: "Now the Holy Son has definitely formed a deadly feud with the White Flame Clan. You guys fight fiercely, the more exciting the better."

As a powerful demon lord, the Holy Son could not help but retaliate fiercely.

The essence of demons is heterogeneity and loss of control. He now fully understands that the conflict between the Five-Colored Flame Clan is a typical example of "loss of control".

The Holy Son was tricked and wanted to retaliate to vent his anger, which is also considered "out of control." Forcibly suppressing it is not the way of the demon.

but.

For knights, soul essence is an extremely dangerous thing.

If the knight rashly absorbs and fuses with this thing, it would be like a lower level devouring a higher level, and the success rate would naturally be low.

The result of a failed fusion is that one is "contaminated" by it and ultimately becomes a puppet of the Holy Son.

But Yang Fan had a solution.

He gently raised a finger, and with a slight thought, a grayish-white flame immediately ignited.

This is the ancient god Netherflame.

Yang Fan had a hunch that the essence of his soul was the "nourishment" for the ancient god's Nether Flame.

as predicted.

The flames burning in the Netherflame were noticeably more intense than usual, and one could vaguely sense that it was exhibiting an emotion called "excitement."

Without further hesitation, Yang Fan immediately extended his finger.

The ceaseless dance of the Netherflame made a light touch on the essence of the soul.

next moment.

The essence of the soul suddenly expanded by a large circle, transforming from a point of light into a crimson fireball.

Yang Fan also heard a majestic roar.

"Blasphemy..."

The voice undoubtedly wanted to say "blasphemer," but it never had a chance to finish its sentence.

Hundreds of tiny gray-white flame snakes emerged from the Netherflame and burrowed into the fireball formed from soul essence.

The roar stopped abruptly.

Instead, a panicked voice shouted: "Get out!"

Then a scream rang out: "Ahhhhh!"

The Netherflame originates from the power of the ancient gods; mere source matter is nothing compared to it.

"Ah~"

The screams initially grew louder and louder, but after reaching a certain critical point, they began to grow fainter and fainter until they became inaudible.

At this moment, the Netherflame had completely enveloped the soul essence.

This signifies the start of the process of absorption.

A strange phenomenon occurred.

Yang Fan's mind fell into a strange, bewildered state.

In a daze, he felt as if he had become a demon.

This is a very realistic experience.

Sight, touch, hearing, and smell are all indistinguishable from the real world.

"what!"

Accompanied by frantic wails.

A living body, covered in black hair, somewhat resembling an ape, with a short horn on its forehead, and its abdomen cut open.

Yang Fan crawled out of the stomach, his body covered in blood, and looked at the world with a pair of bewildered vertical pupils.

He was born.

"Kill her!"

A demon stood to the side and issued a command.

Yang Fan nodded in a daze, then raised his sharp claws in a daze and slit the unicorn's throat.

Fresh blood immediately spurted out.

He became inexplicably excited, leaned his head in, and began to suck greedily until no more blood flowed out.

He straightened up and saw that the corpse's green pupils had frozen, but still held a great deal of fear.

Later, Yang Fan learned that the mother who conceived him belonged to a civilized world called the "Violent Ape Clan." They were called the Violent Ape Clan because these apes were inherently cruel and bloodthirsty.

But even the most ruthless and bloodthirsty civilized world is not as bloodthirsty as the Qingyang Demon Clan.

The "Berserk Blood" branch under the Crimson Flame Clan chose the Violent Ape World as a "womb" to nurture their own race.

Over a billion apes went extinct, and more than six hundred million demons were born.

The Qingyang Demon Clan used a special method, and the Violent Ape World was not destroyed, but instead became a "children's paradise" for raising the next generation.

Yang Fan lives like a wild beast in the world of violent apes.

In order to survive, he constantly kills other newly born demons while avoiding being hunted by more powerful individuals.

This is the social rule of demons.

Only the strong survive; the weak must be eliminated.

In a way, this is also part of the "out of control".

The Berserker Bloodline will periodically release resources to various locations on Violent Ape Star. Whoever seizes the resources will grow faster.

This practice further intensifies the competition among the lesser demons.

Because not competing for resources means slower growth and eventual elimination.

Ten years later.

Of the more than 800 million demons, less than 100 million remain, resulting in an astonishing elimination rate.

Yang Fan became the demon who persisted to the very end.

He not only awakened his superpowers, but also quickly grew into a warrior.

He even kept a group of female demons as pets, and usually took them around to plunder.

If food is extremely scarce, he will kill the weakest female demon for food.

And then.

The Holy Son of the Berserker Bloodline, also known as the Venerable One of this lineage, descended upon the World of the Berserker Ape to personally select the elite of the new race.

Those selected will become members of the "main branch" of the lineage, receiving more resources and focused training.

Those who are not selected will be classified as "side branch" members, receiving fewer resources and holding a lower status within the branch than the main branch.

To put it bluntly—a side branch is just cannon fodder for a branch.

Unfortunately, Yang Fan was not selected and was instead included in the cannon fodder.

He was extremely unwilling to accept this.

After the selection process, "he" returned to the demons' lair, the Wasteland of Pain, and underwent a year of training before beginning his missions.

There is only one mission—to destroy civilized worlds one by one, and to build enormous monuments of suffering with countless corpses.

In the decades that followed, Yang Fan fought desperately and killed relentlessly, accumulating numerous merits and successfully rising to the rank of high-level warrior.

He secretly and ruthlessly killed many members of the main branch, climbing up the ranks step by step by step over their corpses.

He was unaware that this behavior was precisely in line with the "out-of-control" demonic path.

However, it did not completely spiral out of control and still followed certain rules.

And then...

When "Yang Fan" reached the threshold of becoming a Venerable Knight, he gained the attention of his superiors and was relegated to the main branch, defying fate.

There might be only one in ten thousand demon warriors who could do that.

He was very excited, but he also knew that even greater challenges lay ahead.

half year later.

Yang Fan, as a member of the main branch, leads a team to carry out a mission to infiltrate a certain civilized world.

He was betrayed by several subordinates, was seriously injured in battle and sank to the bottom of the lake, and was even swallowed whole by an aquatic beast.

This was almost a hopeless situation with no chance of survival.

Yang Fan, however, survived.

At this critical moment, "he" actually comprehended a blood sacrifice technique, living inside the lake beast's belly for three months, absorbing the beast's life force to nourish his body, and ultimately miraculously recovered.

Three months later.

The lake beast's vitality was waning.

Yang Fan burst out of the lake beast's belly and launched a bloody revenge against the traitors.

He caught every traitor, devoured their bodies alive, and made them suffer immense pain before they died.

one year later.

Yang Fan, relying on the opportunity to comprehend life and death, broke through the second barrier in one fell swoop and successfully advanced to the rank of knight.

Time passes bit by bit.

More than 270 years have passed.

Yang Fan has gone through countless hardships and faced life-or-death crises at least eighty or a hundred times.

He was even hunted down by powerful Venerables twice, and was seriously injured and bedridden for half a year more than a dozen times. If his injuries had been even slightly more severe, he might have died.

Finally, during a conquest of another civilized world, "he" unexpectedly comprehended the laws, ultimately breaking through the third barrier and becoming a revered figure.

The amazing experience lasted for a long time.

Yang Fan regained consciousness.

At this moment, the soul essence had been completely devoured by the ancient god's Netherflame.

The Netherflame, on the other hand, has more than doubled in power.

This is a very significant improvement.

Yang Fan's eyes were somewhat bewildered, with a sense of "I am not myself": "Is this the life story of the Demon Saint? It's unbelievable."

He "read" the life of the demon saint and gained all its experience.

This is a huge fortune.

He was still a little scared.

If the Netherflame hadn't burned away the imprint within the source essence, he would definitely have become an avatar of the Holy Son.

Yang Fan looked down at his hands and whispered, "I think I have grasped the path to the Venerable level."

He shook his head: "Unfortunately, this is the path of demons, and I cannot turn into a demon." (End of Chapter)
