Leogua's castle was enormous, occupying at least one-tenth of the entire city. When Wen Yu briefly stepped outside, he noticed that this so-called First City of the Desolate Borderlands was quite different in scale compared to some of the super-concentrated areas on Earth.
If placed on Earth, Leogua would definitely be considered a major power, but in the Demon Realm... just from the conversations at the banquet, Wen Yu could tell that this so-called Desolate Borderlands was likely just some exile zone in the Demon Realm, a kind of lawless fringe territory. This was also why Wen Yu could act recklessly without restraint.
As for killing an eleventh-tier demonic creature... that was such a trivial matter it wasn’t worth mentioning. Facing Lindsay and her two companions, Wen Yu could only blame his bad luck. It turned out the difference between eleventh-tier creatures was absurdly large—the crow couldn’t even withstand the bombardment of divine light!
This was also the root cause of Wen Yu’s inability to hold back... He hadn’t expected that the eleventh-tier demonic creature would be so fragile. During the probing process, he accidentally released two extra bursts of divine light, not only killing the old eleventh-tier monster but also causing an unintended disaster in the Second City of the Desolate Borderlands.
However, the results were still perfect. Not only did he obtain what he wanted, but he also earned the respectful deference of Ye Nan and his Avengers—the city lord of the Second City of the Desolate Borderlands, whose strength was not much weaker than Leogua’s.
Led by Leogua, Wen Yu and Bai walked to a basement. Leogua opened the door, invited Wen Yu and Bai inside, and then left, effectively creating a hidden space for the two of them. Only now did Wen Yu have the time to handle his own matters... and explore some unknown secrets.
At this point, Wen Yu had already revealed some of his power. As for Bai, based on their previous secret talks, he definitely had some needs from Wen Yu. Given the gap in their strength, Bai wouldn’t fully disclose everything, but Wen Yu trusted that Bai wouldn’t be stingy about secrets involving top-tier powers.
Sure enough, Bai acted decisively and extended a hand toward Wen Yu.
...
"One magic crystal of an eleventh-tier professional, which is the treasure land guardian, plus one magic crystal from an eleventh-tier demonic creature, plus one Fragment of the Heart of the Demon Realm, plus your own blood."
These were the things Bai needed, and Wen Yu had already gathered them all.
After Wen Yu handed over the four items to Bai, Bai took them and then pulled out a test tube from the Spatial Ring. He first injected Wen Yu’s blood into the test tube, then sequentially added the Fragment of the Heart of the Demon Realm, the eleventh-tier professional’s magic crystal, and the eleventh-tier demonic creature’s magic crystal. He placed the test tube aside.
Under Wen Yu’s watchful eyes, the three crystals inside the test tube seemed to undergo some unknown chemical reaction. Bubbles bubbled up, and before long, the edges of the three crystals began to soften.
Only then did Bai speak.
“Wait a moment — about half an hour or so. Once the three crystals have fused together, you will get what you want.”
“What I want...”
Wen Yu murmured, then his eyes gradually hardened.
He just wanted to break free from the sovereign’s control... As for skills, since they were deeply embedded in his soul body, according to the demon lord, the sovereign could no longer strip Wen Yu of his skills. But when it came to physical constitution, Wen Yu couldn’t ignore it. Moreover, he deeply suspected that the power he had, derived from the professional system, still held some unknown hidden risks.
If he could resolve these issues as soon as possible, Wen Yu would be rid of the biggest trouble weighing on him.
When the three crystals inside the test tube had fused halfway, Wen Yu asked again.
“This… hmm, something like alchemy, where did you learn this?”
