Jiang Chen sat down on the floor with both legs crossed. He had actually suffered some injuries during his fight with Yang Shuo. The Great Illusion Realm had affected his mind, and forced him to throw up a mouthful of blood. It had even caused his source to tremble. If not for the Great Soul Derivation skill, his injuries would have been more severe.
“Yang Shuo was truly strong, if it wasn’t for me cultivating the Dragon Transformation skill and having all kinds of powerful skills, I wouldn’t be his match at all. That Great Illusion Realm was also pretty terrifying.”
At a critical moment while he was still within the Great Illusion Realm, if not for him experiencing a violent change in emotions and merging with the aura of his previous self, there was no way he could have pressured Yang Shuo with his eyes, much less stun him with his gaze alone.
“But, the fight with Yang Shuo did help me reap some benefits. An intense fight like that made my cultivation level more solid, and once my foundation is stabilized, I’ll be able to continue absorbing demon souls and forming new Dragon Marks, allowing my cultivation base to further improve.”
Jiang Chen thought to himself. He completely understood that in Inferno Hell, strength was the capital for survival. Six hundred Dragon Marks had indeed given him enough combat strength, but it was only enough for him to establish his authority in the outer perimeter of Inferno City. He was still far from being able to plant his roots in the middle area and center of Inferno City.
However, his harvest was massive this time, he had obtained quite a number of Divine Core demon souls. There were around 6 Mid Divine Core demon souls in Yang Shuo’s storage ring, and three Mid Divine Core crystal cores. The crystal cores were the things Jiang Chen desired the most. If he wanted to absorb the demon souls and increase his cultivation level, he would need help from the crystal cores. With the crystal cores, he could ensure that his foundation wouldn’t be affected by absorbing the demon souls.
But there was a flaw in this apparently perfect scenario. Although Jiang Chen had found a large amount of demon and devil souls, he had only found a small amount of crystal cores in these storage rings. The Nine Life Crystal Beast was extremely difficult to kill, and most cultivators would use the crystal cores for their own cultivation upon obtaining one.
