[You're pleased to discover that there really is a treasure that can help you break through to the realm of the Overlord more easily.]

There are two options: "Extreme Weapon Core" or "Extreme Flower".

[The former is a core formed by an elderly overlord who condensed all his thoughts. It is a perfected being, and touching it allows one to sense the overlord's will, with a considerable possibility of inheriting that ultimate thought and breaking through.]

[After breaking through using this method, one's entire personality will change. Furthermore, it will be virtually impossible for other overlords to achieve 100% compatibility with the user. Afterwards, one will be inferior to a wild overlord in every aspect… but ultimately, a breakthrough has been achieved.]

You are unwilling to choose this option.

So only "Yakuza Flower" remains.

[The safest and harmless martial arts resource. Its effect is to help you have a flash of inspiration, grasp the ultimate thought that best suits you, and strengthen it. One Extreme Path Flower is enough to enable a Celestial Perfection cultivator to fully advance to the Overlord level within five years.]

[You're increasingly convinced of the validity of drug use for martial arts training—if you hadn't glanced at the price of the Extreme Path Flower.]

"A flower worth 500,000 battle merits?! Why don't you just rob it?!"

"I think the human race is also in dire straits. I was browsing an online store, and do you know how much a single Extreme Flower costs these days? Five hundred thousand battle merits!"

You sighed, taking stock of your earnings over the years. The largest sum was from killing the offspring of the Armored King, which initially earned you 6,000 battle merits. Later, recognizing its potential and importance, you added another 9,000 battle merits.

[This is only because the higher-ups value you too much and have increased your reward for killing enemies above your level. Otherwise, reality isn't a battlefield of a hundred races; the reward should be based on the type of enemy you kill.]

Defeating a newly crowned overlord normally yields 30,000 battle merits.

[It seems like a huge loss? It takes killing over a dozen people in the third realm and going through more than ten life-or-death battles to allow a Celestial Being to break through to this realm.]

But destruction is much easier than creation. The Rejuvenation Fruit, which was previously useless to those with normal innate abilities, sold for 300 battle merits each!

[You believe there must be a living golden spirit secretly spying on you online, because you just looked up information about the "Extreme Flower," and then the Golden Supreme sent you a message.]

He gave you a shopping coupon that offers a 300,000 discount on purchases over 500,000.

This is how much the entire human race values ​​you, a "Six-fold Perfect Battle Body".

"Oh no, I'm really going to have to repay this debt of gratitude forever!"

Jin Zhizun has provided such great assistance; he will surely repay in some way in the future.

Furthermore, as one's cultivation level increases, the rewards will also become greater and more abundant...

"Hmm...is this considered a case of interest compounding on the general's kindness?"

[In 2988, the conflict between humans and demons intensified over the past two years.]

Even supreme beings occasionally appear on the battlefield, and you can often see aurora borealis erupting hundreds of thousands of miles away.

However, at least there hasn't been a clash between the "Supreme Battle Body" and the "True Form of the Demon God."

"Everything is under control... Yeah, right!"

[Your inner turmoil: In another ten years or so, the Holy War between humans and demons will break out!]

"Why is my life so miserable? I'm about to encounter a holy war that only happens once every thousand years, and even if I survive this one, there will be another holy war between humans and demons in a while!"

In 2989, the "Heavenly Net Battle Body" went on expedition, with eight hundred innate beings and eighty celestial beings under your command.

[You can't help but think of Yun Qi from your previous life. He was once selected as one of the members of the Heavenly Net Fighting Body (Chapter 103), but at that time he was still a Grandmaster, with pure Gang Jin in his body, not a trace of Yuan Li.]

[Well, I guess at the time it was because their elemental power attribute was considered too strange, and their compatibility with other innate/celestial beings was pitifully low, so they were kicked out.]

"If Lao Qi were here too, he would only be one of my eight hundred Xiantian subordinates..." you thought with a sigh.

"Forgetting one's roots."

"Without Prison Seven, how could there be Prison Eight? And without Prison Eight, how could you be Prison Nine?"

Yun Shou wanted to shake his head at the thought.

"Of course, in the end, everyone can only be well if I am well."

[This time, the Heavenly Net Battle Body's expedition consisted of a colossal energy structure composed of over 100,000 individuals of innate level or higher combined power, which flew across a battlefield millions of miles long and wide. Wherever it passed, people turned their gazes, and demons retreated in worship.]

[Occasionally, if a small number of demons and humans are seen fighting and the demon is at a disadvantage, the outermost few dozen people of the battle body will temporarily leave to end the battle and then return to the battle body to replenish their depleted energy with the help of everyone else.]

[Or, if they encounter small or large groups of demonic forces, thousands or even tens of thousands of them can resonate and unleash their battle power to wipe out all enemy races within a radius of hundreds of miles. Even those at the third realm will have to flee, or be instantly blasted to death if they don't run.]

[Your mission is to penetrate over a million miles into the war zone, where a human capital city, the Demon-Suppressing Abyss, is currently under attack by hundreds of thousands of demon troops.]

You are reinforcements.

[Tens of thousands of miles away, three giant, red and black abyssal slimes, writhing like a swarm of bees, could be seen rolling and fighting outside the city.]

[These three are a "feast" of demons, equivalent to the Heavenly Net Battle Body of humans, composed of 100,000 spirit-level demons plus some myriad-quality-level demons joining forces.]

[One of the "feasting groups" is besieging the city. The formidable iron walls, made of top-grade materials, are as soft as cheese—not only are they being stripped and destroyed by the feasting group, but they are also being devoured and transformed into nourishment by the "Myriad Matter" demons within.]

[Another group was engaged in a fierce battle with a human supreme being. As for the last group, they were being held back by tens of thousands of scattered human powerhouses. They formed a blood-red sandstorm, and with a single strike, they devoured hundreds of people, even chewing up and swallowing their bones!]

[You've faced the final "feast" of battle; the towering, thousand-meter-tall Heavenly Net Battle Body unleashed a devastating punch!]

That group of demons was entirely composed of armored creatures, resembling a fluid behemoth formed by countless black beetles clustered together. When the Heavenly Luo Battle Body charged up its punch, they even formed a kind of defensive force-dissipating structure, diverting the elemental energy.

However, hundreds of armor plates on the demon's body still shattered and exploded; if not for the connection of their blood and qi, they would have been reduced to dust long ago.

Your arrival is like a shot in the arm for the war effort. The fate of this main city in the war zone will change from "being bloodied and slaughtered by the demons" to "mutual destruction" or "the demon army retreating."

[But an unexpected event occurred—while you were fighting that group of people, an extremely powerful aura erupted from the side, a rusty, bloody light flashed, and explosions followed one after another, bending the illusory body of the Heavenly Net Battle Body to one side!]

A massive wound tore open in the battle body, instantly annihilating two thousand Innate Realm cultivators and three hundred Celestial Realm cultivators. The Heavenly Net Battle Body even experienced a brief period of disorder and instability.

A seven-zhang-tall armored demon flicked the blood from its spear; it was this demon that had launched the sudden attack, inflicting horrific damage on the Heavenly Net Battle Body.

It is the supreme ruler of the demon race, it is—the Armor King!

"Damn it! We've met our enemy!"
