Chapter 648: Chapter 226: Fifth Grade, Second Heavenly Layer – Unleash the Whisper of the Demon King! (8228 words) _2
“Brother Fan, what should we do now?”
Ye Hao anxiously asked, “They’re chasing after them again!”
Chen Fan did not speak.
Yun Canghai’s Crying Demon was only at Level 32.
Meanwhile, the five demons from Nightmare Hall were already at Level 35.
The Crying Demon’s illusion skills couldn’t cause too much damage to them, nor could it trap them for long.
Yun Canghai’s move had merely opened up a breakthrough, nothing more.
There was still a considerable gap in strength between the two sides, and Yun Canghai and Ye Wushuang couldn’t run far or last long.
But…
What should they do?
Even with the Heaven-severing Demon Sword at hand, he still couldn’t compete against a Seventh Stage late-stage opponent!
“Stay here and don’t move!”
Chen Fan took a deep breath and stepped out of the Beastmaster’s Space.
At the same time, the glow of his Battle Armor flowed, and the power within the Crystals Cores was guided out, maximizing his defense.
The ring he had obtained from the Sky Demon Sect Leader also emitted a streak of flowing light, instantly enveloping Chen Fan’s body and forming another layer of defense outside his Battle Armor.
Chen Fan activated the “Stealth” skill, concealed his figure, and gave chase at top speed.
…
[System Credit]: 14646989

As he sprinted, Chen Fan simultaneously checked the system panel.
He had already been killing for ten whole days in the Ancient Divine Domain!
Seeing the System Credit displayed on the panel, Chen Fan wanted to cry out in excitement.
He had been waiting for this day for so long.
He had endured a long time just to accumulate 10 million…
His System Credit had reached 14.64 million!
An average increase of 1.4 million per day!
He had forced Chu Xuan and the others to kill demons with their Guardian Beasts for ten consecutive days, making it all worthwhile!
With so much System Credit, how should he use it?
As Chen Fan sprinted, his thoughts raced.
“Void Divine Body”…
“It is a Body Refining Divine Art that can ultimately transform one’s body into a Void Divine Body.”
“It is divided into body refining and soul refining parts, which can be upgraded using Void Points.”
“When cultivated to the ultimate end, one would achieve the Indestructible Divine Soul and become Immune to All Evil, Invulnerable to All Laws, and able to dominate the Void for eternity!”
To obtain the “Void Divine Body”, 4.5 million System Credit was needed. Similarly, the Void Divine Body was also divided into several stages. Initiating the first stage required 4 million System Credit, while the second stage required 8 million System Credit.
Now he had 14.64 million System Credit, and at most, he could only initiate the first stage of the Void Divine Body.
Initiating the Void Divine Body at this point would be of no help…
It would only make him more resilient, but it wouldn’t save Yun Canghai and his companion!
…
For the second strike of the Sky-Cleaving Heavenly Blade, 9 million System Credit was needed.
This second strike required much more credit than the first one…
He couldn’t reverse the situation even if he initiated the second strike now.
Though the Sky-Cleaving Heavenly Blade was formidable, it shared the same condition as other sword and blade techniques – Its power was closely related to the user’s strength.
The same strike, if executed by a Third Grade Boundary Chen Fan, would definitely not be as powerful as when executed by a Fifth-grade Realm Chen Fan.
His opponents were five Seventh Rank Peaks and five Level 34 demons.
This level of existence possessed terrifying perception skills, which would surely see through the “Stealth” skill he was currently employing – he wouldn’t be able to deceive them.
If he couldn’t deceive them, he wouldn’t be able to get within striking range.
Even if he managed to get within striking range, the Seventh Stage late-stage strongman’s powerful perception skills could easily dodge his attack!
There was no need to initiate the second strike of the Sky-Cleaving Heavenly Blade now…
Chen Fan had the Heaven-severing Demon Sword in his hand. If he could actually strike his opponents, he was confident that with just the first strike of the Sky-Cleaving Heavenly Blade, he could kill a Seventh Rank Peak opponent.
However, if he couldn’t strike his enemies, even initiating the second strike of the Sky-Cleaving Heavenly Blade would be useless!
…
“Whispers of the Demon King”…
“With the whispers of the Demon King, the emotions or even intelligence of humans or monsters can be altered and twisted!”
“The ‘Whispers of the Demon King’ have nine layers, and reaching the ninth layer is considered complete. The higher the layer, the stronger the effect.”
“The ‘Whispers of the Demon King’ would have a much greater effect on demons compared to other creatures.”
To initiate the “Whispers of the Demon King”, 7 million System Credit was needed. To activate the first layer of the “Whispers of the Demon King”, another 4 million System Credit was necessary.
If he chose the “Whispers of the Demon King”, he could only initiate its first layer… The remaining 3 million System Credit wouldn’t be enough to initiate the second layer.
However, he could use the remaining 3 million System Credit to enhance his boundary and promote his Star Power!
The problem was…
With his current realm, Star Power, and spiritual power, would initiating only the first layer of the “Whispers of the Demon King” truly affect or control Level 34 demons?
The explanation for the “Whispers of the Demon King” did mention that its effects would be much stronger on demons compared to other creatures…
It was a headache!
Chen Fan’s brow furrowed.
Apart from the three options above, he actually had one more choice.
That was to use all 14 million System Credit to enhance his realm!
It wouldn’t work, though…
14 million System Credit might not be enough to break through from the Fifth Grade first layer to the Sixth-Rank Realm.
Even if it were sufficient to advance to the Sixth-Rank Realm, the gap between him and those at the Seventh Stage late-stage would still be too vast!
Only if he could instantly break through to the Seventh Stage…
If he could break through to the Seventh Stage, with the Heaven-severing Demon Sword in hand and the first strike of the Sky-Cleaving Heavenly Blade fully cultivated, he might stand a chance of going head-to-head with those Seventh Rank Peak opponents!
It’d be better to consider initiating the “Whispers of the Demon King” instead.
