I will use the game announcement to speedrun the Revival Era

The pale giant ape's corpse lay on the ground, its scalding blood flowing into the roots and leaves of the spirit fruit, its energy being absorbed entirely by the Thunderbird Demon Pattern Fruit.

The Thunderbird Magic Fruit is becoming increasingly vibrant! It's about to ripen perfectly.

Su Chen took in this scene and mentally reviewed the battle that had just taken place.

Fortunately, he had a tiger-striped cloak to deflect the pale giant ape's fist force, and a dark gold shield to block its sharp tailbone stabbing! Otherwise, with the Dragon Swimming Step alone, there would have been no way to avoid all the attacks.

When Su Chen recalled the Dark Gold Shield, he saw that the surface of the Dark Gold Shield had many scratches and several small nicks the size of mung beans.

The Dark Gold Shield was mass-produced by the ancient Divine Gate Dynasty using special techniques. Once broken, it cannot be repaired, which pained Su Chen deeply.

This thing is really useful! Thankfully, the pale giant ape is dead, which makes me feel much better.

After storing the Dark Gold Shield in his storage space, Su Chen pulled the Demon-Suppressing Nail from the head of the pale giant ape.

The rust on the surface of the Demon-Suppressing Nail has completely disappeared. It has grown larger and heavier, and its metal surface shimmers with gold in the sunlight, clearly having undergone a complete transformation.

Su Chen was curious about its changes and chose to view the information.

[Mystic Gold Demon-Suppressing Nail (Legendary) - Description: Forged from Mystic Bone, Mystic Gold, and Mystic Silver in the Immortal Mystic Cauldron, it was used to suppress the evil dragon. It can absorb the dragon's resentment and self-repair, remaining strong for thousands of years. Later, due to changes in the world, the evil dragon broke free. The Demon-Suppressing Nail, having endured many vicissitudes, has begun to slowly repair itself, able to change size while maintaining its weight. Note: If it absorbs the evil dragon's resentment, it can gradually regain its former glory.]

After carefully reading its description, Su Chen was pleasantly surprised. He hadn't expected that it could continue to evolve after already reaching legendary quality!

This is truly a wonderful find.

The unpleasant feeling of the Dark Gold Shield being slightly damaged vanished completely in an instant!

Su Chen stepped on the towering corpse of the pale giant ape, stirring the dragon spear in his hand inside its brain. The more he stirred, the more bewildered he became. The brain matter was almost turned into soy milk, but where was the demon core?

At this moment, Liu Qingyue walked over. She felt that Su Hao might be under a lot of pressure lately. He had never done anything as perverse as stirring up the brains of demonic beasts before.

"Is it because of the recovery that you're under a lot of pressure?" Her voice was full of emotional warmth. After hearing this, Su Chen suddenly thought of a sentence: "It's okay, you've already done a great job."

On second thought, Su Chen realized that she had misunderstood his actions! So he said that he was looking for a demon core. The pale giant ape was not weak, so why couldn't he find a demon core in its brain?

Liu Qingyue was speechless. So you've practically turned the pale giant ape's brain into a milkshake, and you're looking for a demon core?

She explained to Su Chen that demon cores only originate in the brains of one type of evolved demon beast, namely, the brains of demon kings who will one day reach the Unity Realm.

Like the Pale Giant Ape, which is of near-epic quality and located in the Spirit Transformation Realm, it lacks the potential to evolve into the Unity Realm and cannot be considered a Great Demon! Therefore, it will not have a Demon Core in its mind.

Su Chen suddenly realized, "So that's how it is!" No wonder the Tiger-Tailed Demon had a demon core in its brain, while the even stronger Pale Giant Ape did not.

At the same time, it's important to understand that, at least in versions 1.0 and 1.1, only one true powerful monster will spawn in Seaside City per version.

If I don't kill the Tiger-Tailed Demon and the Azure-Eyed Demon, these two great demons will rise to power at an astonishing speed as the game updates.

"So it seems that killing the Azure-Eyed Demon in this version not only grants version rewards... but also eliminates potential problems in future versions," Su Chen pondered to himself.

After all, demons can also have their own organizations. If several powerful demons were to join forces and form a demon palace, the difficulty of hunting down powerful demons would increase dramatically.

"receive."

The Flood Dragon Spear transformed into a wisp of azure lightning and entered Su Chen's palm. Then, Su Chen arrived in front of the Thunder Bird Demon Pattern Fruit.

At this moment, every leaf of the Thunderbird Demon Pattern Fruit was withering, and all the energy was flowing into the fruit. A hazy mist containing lightning gathered around the fruit, and even through the mist, one could feel the astonishing energy contained within the Thunderbird Demon Pattern Fruit!

Its bursting lightning transformed into a miniature thunderbird with incredibly sharp claws and wingspans that seemed capable of tearing the sky apart—truly extraordinary.

Compared to this, the spiritual fruits that Su Chen had picked and obtained before could all be considered ordinary and unremarkable.

Su Chen reached out and ignored the electric current emanating from the misty light, directly pinched the spirit fruit and twisted it hard, thus picking it off.

The strange phenomenon automatically receded and was absorbed into the spiritual fruit when it was placed in the palm of the hand! The peel glowed with purple light, and the flesh inside was full of texture, occasionally displaying the phenomenon of a thunderbird.

Taking this thing out could cause a massive brawl involving thousands of people!

[Successfully obtained Spirit Fruit: Thunderbird Magic Pattern Fruit (Epic) - Bonus Reward: Azure Spirit Pill (Legendary) *1!]

Su Chen was overjoyed when he saw the Qingling Pill as a reward.

The Azure Spirit Pill contains abundant spiritual energy. I have just broken through to the fifth level of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and my strength is not yet consolidated. After absorbing it, I will be at least at the peak of the fifth level! The sixth level of the Spirit Transformation Realm is also just around the corner.

Having obtained an epic-quality spirit fruit and a Azure Spirit Pill, this is quite a haul.

After storing both items in their storage space, Su Chen and Liu Qingyue continued to explore the newly revitalized Huazhou Island.

Kun Gong and some wild extraordinary beings have received the news and flocked to Huazhou Island. They dare not approach the place where there are powerful evolved demonic beasts.

Fortunately, Su Chen dared to do it!

The dragon spear was revealed, and the sensible evolved monsters turned tail and fled, while the unwise ones had their brains turned to scum.

After Su Chen and Liu Qingyue finished exploring Huazhou Island, they picked a few ordinary and rare spiritual fruits, but Su Chen had no use for them.

Why not just have Liu Qingyue give me cash in exchange for a rare spiritual item called the "Wind Concealing Pearl"?

The Wind Concealing Pearl is small in size and blue in color. When held in the hand, it allows the user to move like the wind, gaining the support of wind power when moving.

After repeatedly trying it out in his hand, Su Chen discovered that without using the Jiao You Bu technique, he could increase his speed by nearly 80%!

If you use the Dragon Swimming Steps technique, you can increase your speed by 20%, which is a pretty good little gadget. In the future 1.2 version update, you will be able to reach the opportunity location even faster.

Alternatively, it's also quite good for escaping when encountering a demon king you can't defeat.

Before we knew it, the sun had set over Hanjiang, and crimson clouds covered the entire city.

As Su Chen and Liu Qingyue left Huazhou Island, a deep blue map appeared before Su Chen's eyes.

[Area: Huazhou Island (Current exploration progress: 20%; Countdown to next area update: 5 days, 17 hours, and 35 minutes)]

[After 5 days, 17 hours, and 35 minutes, the second epic-level spirit fruit, Cloud Vine Spirit Wood Fruit, will spawn in this area! (Note: Obtaining this spirit fruit will grant additional rewards.)]
