The Grey Rat's Demon Path

Chapter 213: Chapter 188-189: Thunderous Demon King, Profound Armor Seven Stars

’They are all Demon Kings who have formed their Inner Cores, seasoned in Magical Combat with a wide array of methods. Unless I have overwhelming power, they are extremely difficult to kill!’

’To kill a Demon King, one must typically prepare specific countermeasures in advance. However, the more established a Demon King is, the more secrets they hold. Even with targeted measures, they will have their own ways to counter them!’

’With my current combat strength, killing a Quasi-Demon King isn’t difficult. But killing a true Demon King... that would be a real struggle. My only chance would be against one who has just formed their Inner Core and become a Demon King, someone with only average Guarding Methods. Otherwise, defeating them might be easy, but killing them would be next to impossible!’

’But I can’t be too demanding. After all, I only just formed my Inner Core and became a Demon King myself not long ago!’

’Also...’

’My Attacks are ferocious and my Demon Body is tough, but I lack any trapping or imprisoning abilities! That’s why I can only defeat them, not kill them!’

’If I could make up for this lack of imprisoning techniques, with my combat strength, I should be able to slay an ordinary Veteran Demon King!’

’Also, I just tried activating my Purple Pattern Acceleration and the Power of Thunder! The effects were extraordinary! It’s just a shame...’

’My Flesh and Blood Power is limited. I probably can’t use them many times in a single battle before running out of strength!’

’The Golden Lion form can hide my true origins, but it’s quite a hindrance in a fight. Battling in the Golden Lion form, which isn’t my true body, my combat power can only barely reach the level of a top-tier Demon King! If I revealed my true form, I should be able to display strength that ranks among the stronger top-tier Demon Kings!’

’If I can destroy all traces of the body, then revealing my true form is an option!’

’Besides, my public identity is just a Gray Rat Demon. Even if my true form as a Purple-striped Thunder Rat is exposed, it would be difficult for anyone to connect it to my public identity. After all, officially, I’ve only used Jade Marrow Spirit Liquid to improve my Bloodline, which is a huge difference from a Purple-striped Thunder Rat!’

’On one hand, you have a Tier Two High Grade Gray Rat Demon, a mere Early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator who excels at Alchemy, is peaceful and amiable, and is unskilled in Magical Combat. On the other, a Purple-striped Thunder Rat who is ferocious and domineering in his Attacks, a veteran of Magical Combat, and has even achieved the rank of Demon King.’

’Even if I accidentally reveal my true form, no one should be able to connect the two!’

"..."

In the sky, Xu Chang’an continued Flying in the Sky, mulling over the gains and losses of the recent battle.

After his Bloodline Advancement into a Purple-striped Thunder Rat, the difference between him and his previous Grey Rat form was even greater.

Although both were rat-type Demons, one was in the heavens and the other on the earth; they simply couldn’t be spoken of in the same breath.

Not to mention the vast difference in strength!

Thus, at the right moment, he could indeed reveal his true form.

Xu Chang’an flew through the sky without intentionally slowing down.

Soon, he was hundreds of miles away.

He found a secluded spot in a desolate, ancient forest.

Unlike before, when improving his Bloodline would have caused a significant commotion, this time, Xu Chang’an didn’t even bother setting up an Array. Instead, he concealed his breath and sat cross-legged on a giant tree.

’Let’s see what’s in that Human Race Cultivator’s Storage Bag.’

Xu Chang’an didn’t actually have high hopes for the Storage Bag of a Late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

However, this was the first item from a Human Race Cultivator he had obtained since starting his new life of cultivation, so he examined it with a bit more seriousness.

’Hm!?’

As he opened the Storage Bag, a look of astonishment appeared on Xu Chang’an’s face.

Tier Three Spirit Talismans, Tier Three Ore, Tier Three Spirit Medicine...

This Human Race Cultivator was quite wealthy!

’This is...’

Xu Chang’an’s gaze fixed on a bottle of Elixirs.

The Jade Bottle was translucent, faintly shimmering with Spiritual Light and inscribed with a Restriction. Clearly, the Elixirs inside were anything but ordinary.

Opening the Jade Bottle, a clear fragrance wafted out, instantly soothing his mind and spirit.

’A Clear Heart Pill!’

Xu Chang’an murmured softly.

The Clear Heart Pill, like the Crystal Condensation Pill, was a Tier-Breaking Elixir used for breaking through to the Core Formation Realm!

The Clear Heart Pill could calm the mind and spirit, preventing the birth of a Heart Demon.

This single Elixir was worth no less than 500,000 Demon Stones!

’A pretty good haul!’

Xu Chang’an was pleased, but not overly ecstatic.

After all, he had already reached the Demon King rank and had no need for a Clear Heart Pill.

Besides, even if he hadn’t yet broken through to Core Formation, with the help of his panel, he wouldn’t need an Elixir for Support anyway.

However, consuming this Clear Heart Pill could accumulate a good amount of panel Energy.

After a moment of thought, Xu Chang’an decided not to consume it and stored it away instead.

While the Clear Heart Pill could provide a lot of Energy, consuming it directly for that purpose wasn’t very cost-effective.

He could trade it later as a rare resource for even more Spiritual Herbs and Plants to consume.

The major powers could never have too many Tier-Breaking Elixirs that allow for realm breakthroughs!

Besides the resources he had just seen, the Storage Bag also contained many Cultivation Techniques and Secret Techniques.

Among them, Xu Chang’an even found several inheritances.

There were inheritances for Arrays, Spirit Talismans, Spirit Plant cultivation, and Forging.

The inheritances ranged from Tier Two to Tier Three.

The highest-level one went all the way up to Tier Three Middle Grade!

’This Human Race Cultivator had some incredible luck!’

To possess so many inheritances, he must have had quite a few fortunate encounters.

After rummaging around some more, Xu Chang’an pulled out a Jade Scroll from the Storage Bag.

He sent his Demon Sense into the Jade Scroll, and a massive amount of information began to flow into his mind.

This Jade Scroll recorded some basic information about the Human Race’s Cultivation Realm and the distribution of its powers.

Xu Chang’an was quite interested in this.

He had spent all his years in the Red Cloud Mountain Range, and although he had intentionally tried to learn about the Human Race’s powers and situation, it was ultimately not as direct or clear as what was recorded in the Jade Scroll.
