Leogua's castle was vast, occupying at least one-tenth of the entire city. When Wen Yu stepped out for a brief look, he found that this so-called First City of the Desolate Borderlands was comparable in scale to certain super-concentrated areas on Earth.
If situated on Earth, Leogua would undoubtedly be counted among the top powers, but in the Demon Realm… Just from the conversations at the banquet, Wen Yu could deduce that this so-called Desolate Borderlands was likely a place of exile, a kind of lawless edge territory. This was also the reason why Wen Yu could act without restraint.
As for killing an eleventh-tier demonic creature… Such a trivial matter was hardly worth mentioning. If he encountered Lindsay and the others, they could only blame their bad luck. The fact was that the difference between an eleventh-tier and another eleventh-tier was simply outrageous; that crow couldn’t even withstand the bombardment of divine light!
This was also the root of Wen Yu's said inability to hold back. He hadn’t anticipated that this eleventh-tier demonic creature would be so fragile. During the probing process, he accidentally unleashed two more bolts of divine light, which not only killed the eleventh-tier old monster but also caused an unexpected disaster for the Second City of the Desolate Border Region.
However, the outcome was still perfect; not only did he obtain what he desired, but he also earned the respect of Ye Nan and his Avengers. The city lord of the Second City of the Desolate Border Region wasn’t necessarily much weaker than Leogua…
Under Leogua’s guidance, Wen Yu and White walked into an underground chamber. Leogua opened the door, inviting both Wen Yu and White inside before leaving, effectively creating a secluded space for the two. Now, Wen Yu finally had the time to deal with his own issues… and explore some unknown secrets.
At this point, Wen Yu had already revealed a bit of his power. As for White, based on their previous discussions, he definitely had something to ask of Wen Yu. Despite the disparity in their strengths, White couldn’t fully disclose everything to Wen Yu, but Wen Yu believed that White wouldn’t be stingy with secrets involving top-tier powers.
Sure enough, White acted decisively and extended his hand towards Wen Yu.
…
“I need a magic crystal from a level eleven practitioner, which serves as the treasure land guardian, along with a magic crystal from an eleventh-tier demonic creature, a Fragment of the Heart of the Demon Realm, and your own blood.”
These were the items White required, and Wen Yu had gathered them all.
After Wen Yu handed the four items to White, White took them and pulled out a test tube from his Spatial Ring. He injected Wen Yu’s blood into the test tube, followed by placing the Fragment of the Heart of the Demon Realm, the magic crystal from the level eleven practitioner, and the magic crystal from the eleventh-tier demonic creature in sequence, then set the test tube aside. Under Wen Yu's watchful gaze, the three crystals in the test tube appeared to undergo some unknown chemical reaction, bubbling vigorously. In no time, the edges of the three crystals began to soften.
At this moment, White finally spoke.
“Just wait a moment, about half an hour or so. Once the three crystals fuse together, you will get what you want.”
“What I want…”
Wen Yu murmured, and then his eyes gradually became resolute.
He merely wanted to break free from the sovereign’s control… As for skills, since they were deeply embedded in his soul, according to the demon lord’s words, the sovereign could no longer strip Wen Yu of his skills. However, he couldn’t ignore his physical attributes, especially since Wen Yu deeply suspected that his powers, derived from the practitioner system, still harbored some unknown hidden dangers.
Resolving these issues as soon as possible would allow Wen Yu to finally rid himself of his biggest troubles.
Once the three crystals in the test tube had fused halfway, Wen Yu asked again, “This… um, how did you find out about something like this, resembling alchemy?”
