With half a game of chess, I vanquish all demons!

Zhao Yao controlled the two bodies of Zhao Yi and Zhao Er, picked up the Illusionary Void Belt and the Heavenly Dog Demon Core, and their bodies retreated simultaneously. The watery void opened up, and the two bodies fell into it.

Sizzle sizzle~

The demon core was soaked in the ascending water, where it was continuously decomposed, producing a hissing sound.

The belt was frozen by the jade-colored radiance, isolating it from the rising water.

Zhao Yao had one body, wearing a belt, swimming swiftly upwards and climbing out of the wooden basin in his own courtyard; his other body, holding the demon core, waited for a while at the entrance to the desolate lower realm.

Sizzle~

After the impurities in the demon core were completely broken down by the laws, leaving only demon blood and primordial essence, Zhao Yao returned to the desolate lower realm with the demon core in his hand.

The lower realm of barren rocks.

"Gurgle~"

Zhao Yao took the demon core of the Moon-Swallowing Heavenly Dog from Zhao Er's hand and swallowed it.

Just like when he swallowed the demon core of Huodou before, he closed his eyes, digested the demon core to increase his primordial energy, and drew divine power from the Shanyang tribe. With the incredible catalysis of the divine power, he transformed the demon blood of the Moon-Devouring Heavenly Dog into a seed and integrated it into his body.

Finally, the demon blood seed was successfully implanted into his body, but it will take time for it to integrate with his body.

As the demon core was digested, primordial energy was generated, adding three new layers of primordial energy to the fourth jade chess piece!

Thus, with the addition of the two previously existing Yuan Qi figures to the fourth jade chess piece, the ten flame layers have now depicted five flame layers of Yuan Qi figures.

Zhao Yao snapped out of his inner vision, opened his eyes, looked at the nine heads of the demigod warrior Silver Deer on the ground, and then glanced at the headless corpse beside him.

He mobilized divine power, using its incredible strength to begin extracting the information he wanted from the silver deer's corpse.

As he watched quietly, an image began to play rapidly in front of him.

With the aid of divine power, he saw Princess Yunchi's goal: the location of Yan Rouyun's corpse.

"I guessed right. Princess Yunchi really did want to borrow a child, and she really did want to kill me afterward!"

And Yue Longcheng, the dilapidated temple… I really did drag her down with me.”

Zhao Yao muttered to himself, thinking of the scene he had just witnessed where the two strongmen received Princess Yun Chi's orders, and of Yan Rouyun fighting to the death, and felt a deep sadness in his heart.

However, emotions cannot solve problems.

He quickly suppressed these surging emotions, his gaze becoming serious as he watched the scene of Yan Rouyun's battle with the two strongmen before her death.

He did this in order to understand the fighting methods of that bronze warrior in advance.

But after reading it again, he couldn't help but feel admiration for Yan Rouyun.

As a martial artist in the first realm of the Remnant Martial Realm, to fight against two strongmen in the second and third realms and still make them suffer heavy losses is something that no ordinary person could do.

Do you think the bronze warrior didn't come back with the demigod warrior?

It turns out that before Yan Rouyun died, her final attack was a forced splash of dragon blood onto the bronze warrior!

Dragon blood is the bloodline of royalty. A mere warrior who guards the princess has been stained with dragon blood. Even if there are extenuating circumstances, can the master who also has dragon blood truly be without resentment once he finds out?

Perhaps a normal person could do it, but Princess Yunchi is not a normal person!

Yan Rouyun's last move forced the Bronze Warrior to stop returning to Wangzhou City, and he didn't even reunite with his companions. He found a place to hide on the way.

Zhao Yao memorized the locations of Yan Rouyun's corpse and the hiding place of the bronze warrior, then turned his attention to what was in front of him.

He gazed at the corpse of the demigod warrior Silver Deer before him and thought to himself:

Are demigod warriors considered gods?

Is the blood of a demigod warrior considered divine blood?

Whether it counts or not, we'll find out by trying.

The thought flashed through his mind, and he opened his mouth and said softly:

"Primordial Qi, unite!"

Buzz~ Buzz~ Buzz~ Buzz~ Buzz~

Five layers of jade-colored light exploded on his body, and five tiny figures of primordial energy merged into his body. Zhao Yao's body grew, his bones grew, his flesh expanded, and his skin turned the color of cast iron.

Because his celestial body was located in the lower realm, his physique appeared extremely tall, almost like a mountain, according to the conversion of primordial energy.

He compressed his body back to the peak size of a Black Iron Realm Warrior, which is about 6.5 meters tall.

He realized the key to a warrior's breakthrough, and without hesitation, he silently recited the mantra and activated the extraordinary technique:

"Miraculous Technique: Divine Sense!"

A giant, transparent hand suddenly reached out, grabbed the headless corpse of the silver deer, placed it above its own head, and slowly squeezed it tightly, squeezing out the blood as if extracting juice, and pouring it onto the flesh.

Under such horrific circumstances, his body was drenched in blood, and some unknown substance began to slowly seep into his body.

It works!

Zhao Yao's spirits lifted.

He silently commanded, and decisively ordered the sixth primordial energy miniature to merge into his body.

"Primordial Qi, unite!"

hum~

A jade-colored halo exploded on the body's surface!

crackling sounds~

His joints stretched, his body expanded, and his height increased again, visibly breaking through the 6.66-meter mark and reaching the second realm of the Black Iron Warrior.

He had already broken through the barrier; calming his mind, he softly recited again:

"Primordial Qi, unite!"

Buzz~ Buzz~ Buzz~ Buzz~

In an instant, four more tiny figures of primordial energy merged into his body.

crackling sounds~

Zhao Yao's body also swelled and grew taller once again.

Call ~

A gentle breeze caressed his slightly heaving chest, and the transformation ended. A giant with skin as black as cast iron, eyes burning like charcoal, a height of nine meters and ninety-eight centimeters, and at the peak of the second realm of the Black Iron Warrior, just one step away from becoming a demigod warrior, appeared here.

Looking down at the open space in front of him, Zhao Yao felt a little unfamiliar with the unprecedented height of his gaze.

bang~

He moved his arms and legs, then suddenly bent his legs and jumped high and far.

bang~

He jumped around in the deserted world, slowly adapting to the new changes in his body.

bang~

After a long while, he jumped back to his original spot, entered his inner vision, and looked at the five remaining primordial energy figures in the fourth jade chess piece.

He still has a small primordial spirit that he can merge with, but he can no longer push his strength realm to the next level.

The special substance he had extracted from the demigod warrior had been completely consumed, and a new threshold of realm blocked his way once again.

Zhao Yao looked at the demigod warrior's corpse, which had been drained of its life force, and understood that if the warrior wanted to make another breakthrough in the realm of warriors, he would have to find new divine and demonic blood.

"No rush. Princess Yunchi, along with her guards, makes six people. There will definitely be enough divine and demonic blood needed to become a demigod warrior!"

Zhao Yao muttered to himself, a dangerous glint in his eyes.

In an instant, he regained his composure and turned his gaze to the nine heads of the demigod warrior Silver Deer on the ground.

This item is also very useful!

He gazed at the nine heads, his eyes lowered, his pupils blinking slowly, blood seeping out gradually.

Drops of blood fell.

Under the control of divine power, eighteen drops of blood flew precisely to the eyes on the heads of these nine people and merged into them.

Subsequently, using the method of controlling the demonic wood, he controlled the nine pairs of eyes, causing them to use this blood as a seed to begin absorbing the remaining essence and power from the silver deer's head.

Ga~

Almost simultaneously, all nine heads of the Silver Deer withered and died, while pairs of new Pupil People grew from its eyes, Pupil People controlled by Zhao Yao.

Call ~

Zhao Yao gently blew a breath forward, and the silver deer's head turned to ashes.

As the ashes scattered, nine pairs of tiny, thumb-sized newborn figures appeared on the ground.

Nine pairs of thumb-sized figures, controlled by divine power, floated into the air, approached Zhao Yao's face, and crashed into his eyeballs.

puff~

puff~

A tiny hole appeared on the cornea of ​​Zhao Yao's eyes. Just before the nine pairs of pupils collided with his eyes, they became even smaller and successfully entered his eyes through the tiny hole, becoming the inhabitants of his eyeballs.

After a few breaths, all nine pairs of pupils entered his eyes.

Flash~

Flash~

He blinked, feeling a slight swelling in his eyes.

Now, there are twenty people residing in his eyes.

He was now able to control and feed these twenty people with pupils, just like the Black Light had done before, and at crucial moments, make them jump out of their eyeballs and become fighting forces that obeyed him.

This is the "Miraculous Eye Man" technique that Blacklight taught him.

As for the other extraordinary sighting of lightning and fire...

Zhao Yao recalled for a moment, then his expression suddenly turned solemn, just like the black light before. He formed a hand seal and chanted an incantation:

"Quickly summon the Western Fire God, who carries a golden hammer and golden staff."

His eyes blazed like thunder, and his body moved with the sound of lightning.

Today I shall patrol the world, capturing demons, evil spirits, and gods. So be it!

After the incantation was finished, a miraculous change occurred in him! His hair was a bright red color, and his long hair was so smooth and alive that it seemed as if it would break free from his hair bun and float upwards.

His pupils turned red, his eyes became like starry double pupils, and golden lightning flickered around his eye sockets.

He stared at the ground ahead, silently reciting to himself:

"A miraculous technique, a sighting of lightning and fire!"

Thunderbolt~

Two beams of golden-red lightning suddenly shot from his eyes, piercing forward and creating two deep craters in the ground that reeked of burning.

That's quite powerful!

Looking at the pit on the ground, Zhao Yao nodded slightly.

He recalled what Black Light had said about the origin of this technique.

The ancestor of the Black Light, by using multiple pupils to enhance eyesight and strengthen local organs, forcibly reproduced the extraordinary lightning and fire-witnessing technique of the First Ancestor, the God of Fire.

With such meager bloodline, Blacklight's ancestor was truly a genius to have witnessed the presence of the God of Fire.

While admiring the Black Light Ancestor, Zhao Yao thought of emulating his virtue and had a sudden thought... Perhaps, I can make further improvements, after all, I have divine power to assist me.

He let his thoughts wander freely for a while, then quickly refocused his attention and returned to the changes within himself.

After the Pupil Man took over his eyes, besides these two miraculous techniques, the biggest change was in his eyesight!

Flash~

Flash~

He blinked and looked ahead.

Fine dust particles danced in the air, captured by his vision and becoming extremely clear.

The dust looked rough, like tiny rocks, very characteristic of the desolate underworld.

The scenery nearby became extremely clear, and the whole world was brighter than ever before.

The distant scenery rushed into view, every detail was clearly visible, everything was so clear it seemed unreal.

He tried to see as far as his eyes could see, looking into the distance, into the distance, and into the distance.

In a distant place, traces of human activity came into his view.

"Um?"

Zhao Yao raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

He deliberately chose this area, far from the Shanyang tribe, to hunt the demigod Silver Deer, so as not to affect the people in the lower realm.

But what did he see?

Traces of human activity!

He thought about it for a moment and then understood.

He had witnessed the Shanyang tribe split several times throughout history, and some people had left the Shanyang tribe at some point in the past.

He never imagined that these people were still alive, and had lived to this day!

You must know that this world is a wasteland, and the earth is as hard as rock.

Having left the land their ancestors had cultivated for generations, how could these people possibly survive on the rocky land outside the Shanyang tribe?

That must be an extremely arduous process.

Zhao Yao gazed at the traces of human activity in the distance, his eyes scanning the area, trying to find more human traces.

A moment later, he raised an eyebrow and found his target.

Dance~

With the aid of divine power, his body soared into the air and flew straight towards the target location.

Not long after.

Zhao Yao appeared outside a human settlement.

This tribe was indeed separated from the Shanyang tribe.

There is also a square here, and in the square stands a statue of a deity. The statue's appearance is well-preserved and closely resembles his current appearance.

The statue is clad in jade armor, with a sword at its waist, and a halo of one day and one moon suspended behind its head.

At this moment, a halo of the sun floats behind his head, he is clad in jade armor, and holds a precious sword. The only difference between the two images is the Heavenly Dao Seal formed by the gathering of moon dust back then.

If that idol is also me, wouldn't that mean it should also contain divine power?

Zhao Yao tried to sense and guide the flow of energy.

In an instant, the statue in the square shone with dazzling golden light!

A stream of visible golden light surged out, like a suspended ribbon, flying towards him and leaving a clear trail in the air.
