Achieving Demon Godhood from Unlocking Talents

"Hkk... Hkk..."

Blood gushed from his mouth as the Magic Power within him rapidly dissipated.

Horace’s eyes flew wide open, staring fixedly at Lu Chao’s face.

The young man with the buzz cut was so young, with sharp, masculine, and resolute features. For some reason, he even felt a strange sense of familiarity.

In an instant, he recalled an investigation he’d once conducted in District Two of Ring City—one that had come to an abrupt halt.

This man’s name had been on the resident list of that apartment building. Unfortunately, before he could investigate further, he’d run into the Biotechnology Company.

"So... that’s how it is."

The thought flashed through his mind. He tried to speak, but found he couldn’t make a sound.

Waves of pain from the fatal wound in his chest nearly shattered his will.

’If only I’d found him back then, would I have been able to...?’

BANG!!

His heart exploded. His gaze froze, and all his thoughts came to a screeching halt.

As Lu Chao pulled his arm back, their eyes met for the last time.

THUD!!

The body, its chest pierced through, collapsed limply to the ground. Dark red blood flowed from the wound, as well as from his mouth and nose.

Lu Chao watched this scene in silence.

He stood motionless, his expression blank. The blood on his right arm was vaporized by his Qi Flame, turning into wisps of mist that drifted away.

BZZZT!!

Finally, an eerie green corpse-fire materialized out of thin air, igniting Horace’s body.

Lu Chao slowly exhaled a breath of stale air as the Qi Flame around him gradually receded into his body.

His brawny, half-expanded frame seemed to shrink back to its original size. He stood firm, having completely exited his Titan state.

Unlike the weakness that followed the Frenzy State,

aside from the partial expenditure of his body’s energy, he felt no discomfort and remained in his normal peak condition.

Soon, he watched as Horace’s corpse was utterly incinerated, vanishing without a trace.

Lu Chao’s gaze fell upon the concrete floor, which now bore no trace of the body.

Two fist-sized, perfectly intact red crystals remained, glinting with an unnatural luster.

And off to the side, a book with a black cover came into view, looking particularly familiar.

Seeing this, Lu Chao narrowed his eyes as a strange intuition inexplicably rose within him.

...

WHIRRR!!

「Ten minutes later.」

A hovercar from the Biotechnology Company slowly descended, arriving at the alley.

The air hummed and churned, kicking up dust and debris.

Thick searchlight beams swept wantonly across the area, illuminating the surroundings. The alley walls were covered in cracks, and several shallow craters pockmarked the hundred-meter stretch of ground.

Scattered concrete fragments were blown about by the wash from the vehicle. A dozen or so elite security guards had already arrived and were patrolling with guns drawn, surveying the scene.

Seeing this, Advisor Sun stepped out of the hovercar’s cabin. Dressed in a respectable black suit, he frowned and fell into deep thought.

He then turned to a trusted subordinate at his side and asked for an update.

"No one was nearby when it happened, so there are no eyewitnesses. A few local residents heard several loud noises, leading us to preliminarily suspect a fight broke out."

"The nearest surveillance camera is two hundred meters away, quite a distance from here. The logistics team is still negotiating with the patrol division to retrieve the footage, but there are no results yet."

’Oh?’

Hearing this, Advisor Sun frowned for a few seconds, his confusion deepening.

’Could the Green Demon have gotten into a fight with someone here?’

’But...’

A new question arose. ’He knows I’m hunting him down. Why would he linger here and cause a commotion?’

No matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t find an answer. He just felt that things were getting more and more troublesome.

He hadn’t even had time to fully investigate that kid with the surname Lu, and now the Green Demon had shown up from Ring City to attack them, acting as if he held a deep-seated grudge—as if *he* were the one who killed Young Master Ruan.

While he was lost in thought, someone stepped out of the hovercar with an awkward expression.

"Supervisor."

They bowed their head slightly, holding out a communication tablet. "A call from Director Han."

As the words fell, the atmosphere went silent.

The security guards all glanced over, their eyes seemingly tinged with a hint of sympathy.

Advisor Sun was silent for a moment before steeling himself and accepting the call.

...

CLICK!

The door clicked shut.

Lu Chao returned to his apartment at the Superpower Bureau and walked straight to the Cultivation Chamber.

He subconsciously scanned his surroundings to make sure there was nothing out of the ordinary.

Only then did he put down the item in his hand.

It was a small, silver briefcase, a little heavier than before.

Then, with a CLASP, he opened it.

Several items could be seen inside.

In the very center was a single vial containing a golden-yellow liquid, like amber. This was naturally the energy mineral essence that Manager You had called in a favor to buy for him.

His intuition quickly surfaced, and Lu Chao could confirm that it was of a similar grade and nearly identical quality to the essence distributed by the Superpower Bureau. There was no problem with it.

Then, his gaze shifted.

Lu Chao looked to the left and right of the energy mineral essence.

There was the black-covered magic book and the two red crystals from the Mage.

[Magic Power Crystal]

[Quality: Elementary]

[Consumption Effect: A remnant blessed by a High-Dimensional Demon God. Contains special Life Energy and spiritual corruption. Consuming it will increase one’s Life Energy and plant a seed of depravity!]

[Note: This corruption can be eliminated using a special method. Required materials include Red Jade Stone, Clear Spirit Water... ]

The information from his intuition appeared in his mind’s eye as Lu Chao looked at the two fist-sized Magic Power Crystals.

They were crimson all over, like perfect spheres, with a barely perceptible black spot in the center—undoubtedly the source of the so-called corruption.

Compared to the other, fragmented Magic Power Crystals he had obtained before, these two were undoubtedly complete.

Not only was their quality a tier higher, but the materials required to remove the corruption also included three additional items. The required dosage for things like Clear Spirit Water was also several times greater.

The difficulty of purification had clearly increased, but...

"A single, complete Magic Power Crystal is equivalent to one standard-concentration dose of energy mineral essence?"
