Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

That night, Lin Rui rode the demon dragon Ma Tianlong and, along with Ji Xueying, Shangguan Tianyi, and others, once again arrived at the front of the Ten Thousand Dragon Tower.

Unlike a year ago, this time the Tower Guardian of the Ten Thousand Dragon Tower was already waiting at the gate with a group of subordinates.

Seeing the respectful demeanor of the Tower Guardian, Lin Rui felt a bit apologetic in his heart.

Over the past year, the Tower Guardian had catered to Lin Rui's every demand, supplying limitless quantities of Dragon Skin Paper of various grades, eagerly trying to curry favor and build a connection, only for Lin Rui to end up scheming against him.

Lin Rui had already prepared a duplicate of Huang Fuqing's Emperor Hao Divine Dragon, hidden in a Dragon Box behind him.

He planned to stir up some trouble tonight, thereby completing a sky-swapping scheme to cover Huang Fuqing's Battle Dragon escape.

Lin Rui hoped that everything would go smoothly today. The smoother the process of substituting the Battle Dragon, the fewer loose ends there would be, and the less impact it would have on the Tower Guardian's future career.

"Old Qi, how many demons have you prepared for me this time?"

Lin Rui leaped down from the demon dragon's back, bombastically received the salute from the Tower Guardian and others, and walked straight into the Ten Thousand Dragon Tower, jokingly saying: "If there are too few, I won't forgive you. Next time you come to my house to drink, you'll first have to punish yourself with three cups!"

The Tower Guardian's surname was Qi, named Qi Lechun. Hearing Lin Rui's words, he couldn't help but smile broadly, "Rest assured, my lord Duke. I spent a whole year preparing this time. Just the Ninth Realm Demons, Demon Cultivators, and Battle Dragons alone make up 62 heads."

Regarding Lin Hao's matter, a year ago Qi Lechun was somewhat careless, but as the Duke's status and influence steadily increased in the Great Song Empire, his attitude changed from 'I must pay some attention' to 'I must handle this impeccably' and finally to 'I must go all out to show the Duke my effort.'

Among the 62 Ninth Realm Demons, more than half could actually last another decade or two. Killing them now might pose problems for the Song Court's supply of Dragon Skin in the future.

However, Qi Lechun didn't care about the future now.

And with the impending war between the Song and Purgatory, more demons would be locked up in the Ten Thousand Dragon Tower, and he was just freeing up cells in advance.

Sure enough, after Qi Lechun reported this, he saw a relieved smile on Lin Hao's face: "Not bad! Recently, I've been discussing with the cabinet masters about the vacancy for the Pingbei Army Jiedu Envoy, and whether we could transfer you there."

Qi Lechun was ecstatic upon hearing this. Although the Pingbei Army Jiedu Envoy, a high-ranking but distant military post, was still better than the position of Tower Guardian.

At this moment, Lin Rui was exchanging messages with Lin Xi: How are things on your end? Are you ready?

Lin Xi: Ready, just waiting for your signal to take action.

Lin Xi: We hired the 9SS class "Heaven Killer Mercenary Group." This group is not only powerful but also bold. The funds and employment relations have gone through several firewalls, ensuring that if exposed, it won't implicate us.

Lin Xi had hired them through a bakery, a 9SS class mercenary team.

Why was the Great Song Empire so troubled by Alien Walkers? Because many among them were death-defying desperados who, as long as the profits matched the risks, held nothing in reverence, not even gods.

This time, Lin Xi spent a steep price of 140 billion federal coins to have the "Heaven Killer Mercenary Group" blast three holes at the corners of the Ten Thousand Dragon Tower's walls, feigning a jailbreak, while releasing a specially concocted medicine by Lin Rui inside the tower.

If things really blew up, the Great Song Empire would surely ask top Stargazers to scrutinize the trace of destiny.

However, with a god overseeing their side, they weren't afraid of the other party's Stargazing Technique.

Meanwhile, Lin Rui, already alongside Qi Lechun, flew up into the Ten Thousand Dragon Tower to the execution platform.

It was still that high platform on the south side, the 666th floor, where a crowd of dark demons was gathered, all firmly restrained by Soul Suppressing Nails and City Lock Stakes.

Seeing this, a hint of joy flashed in Lin Rui's eyes and his brows raised slightly.

Qi Lechun had indeed done a great job this time. Besides the 62 Ninth Realm Demons, there were also 235 Eighth Realm ones below!

Unfortunately, this was a one-time deal.

In the future, Lin Rui would have to go to the "Sky Pond" to harvest soul power points.

However, though there were many more demons in the "Sky Pond," how could it compare to binding a bunch of demons in the Ten Thousand Dragon Tower for him to slaughter?

"Not bad!"

Lin Rui first gave a light compliment, and then, with a flick of his sleeve, released a blood-red cone-shaped magic artifact.

"Blood Kylin God Cone?" Qi Lechun instantly recognized this item, his pupils slightly contracting.

This artifact, offered by Song Taizu to the god, was now in the Duke's hands.

The Blood Kylin God Cone flashed with thunder and lightning, instantly blowing off the heads of ten Eighth Realm demons, providing Lin Rui with 3.2 million soul power points.

Lin Rui then raised his hand, forcibly extracting blood qi from these demons, finally gathering it into a blood-colored pill in his hand.

However, Lin Rui didn't refine and absorb this blood qi as usual.

In his mind, he called out to the Battle Spirit Ring: "Ring Spirit, help me further evolve the Blood God Wings secret technique to 9SS+."

Prompt: Evolving Blood God Wings to 9SS+ requires 3 million soul power points.

Lin Rui had actually inquired this morning.

At that time, he wanted to evolve the 9SSS+ "Blood God Wings," but the required soul power points were a bit steep, needing 30 million points.

Additionally, the Battle Spirit hinted that the 9SSS+ Blood God Wings might need two Super Divine Envoy level blood qi souls as "catalysts" to ensure transformation, while the 9SSS level would need two Senior Divine Envoys.

Lin Rui could only lower his expectations and settle for less.

As Lin Rui invested his soul power points, the blood-colored pill in his hand instantly began to turbulently transform, and then burst into a blazing blood flame.

Watching the constant refining, the structure of the blood flame, Qi Lechun's eyes flashed with another hint of amazement.

A year ago, he had witnessed the opponent demonstrating the Seventh Realm Super Monarch rank Blood Evil Secret Technique "Blood God Wings."

Yet after a year, the Blood Evil Secret Technique had undergone a huge transformation, becoming more mystical and refined, even carrying a trace of terrifying aura that made him uneasy.

※※※※

Meanwhile, south of Luojing, outside the Demon Suppression Forest.

A young man clad in a twelve-chapter royal robe descended 30 miles outside the Demon Suppression Forest, overseeing the dense forest formed by giant metallic spears below from afar.

"The earth veins have recovered slightly, seems like it was delayed—"

After a brief scan, the young man let out a bitter laugh.

He should have acted three days ago when his descendant tried various ways to drain the earth veins of the Demon Suppression Forest, lowering the ether elements within to its lowest, reducing the divine power of the arrays inside to one-third of its full strength.

However, a disturbance in the Seventh Base City in the Federation had ensnared him, preventing him from attending to anything else for days.

Only yesterday, with the Longevity Association and Federation Government truly ceasing warfare, could he set about carrying out this action on the Demon Suppression Forest.

— They didn't sign a ceasefire treaty with the government at the top level.

After all, the Federation Government had to consider the opinion of the Great Song, and the Longevity Association was also recognized as a terrorist organization by the government.

So, their agreement was signed with a few experts on the government side, and the Longevity Association paid a huge price for it.

Merely the permissions for the Artificial Sky had stirred great discontent among some core members within the Longevity Association.

They had invested massive funds into the Artificial Sky, sacrificed so much manpower, even reluctantly or willingly did a lot of dirty work violating morals and laws, yet the Federation government, those bastards, managed to gain equal or even superior authority by just waging one war.

Apart from the permissions, they even had to gather 10 trillion federal coins for compensation for Lin Rui, and prepare three Ninth Realm Emperor Rank magic artifacts.

Just appeasing those committee and managing directors of the Longevity Association took these Immortal Level members a whole day.

The young man in the yellow robe's gaze shifted: "Although I missed the best timing, with this earth vein strength, I can still succeed—"

At this moment, a sudden bright flash emerged around the Demon Suppression Forest, with the blasts of high-explosive Annihilation Bombs and violently electromagnetic radiation turning the surrounding heaven and earth into a blazing white expanse.

"Boom!"

Only then did the giant explosion sound reach the young man in the yellow robe's ears.

The region within a hundred-mile radius began to quake and shake, as twelve massive mushroom cloud masses rose high into the sky.

The young man in the yellow robe saw the four "Vice Divine Envoys" and numerous Dragon Guards within the Demon Suppression Forest flying anxiously in all directions, trying to suppress and maintain the collapsing defense array within.

The young man in the yellow robe gave a sarcastic smile and then looked coldly at the center of the Demon Suppression Forest.

With a powerful grasp in that direction, the core array within the forest crumbled even faster.

The young man in the yellow robe's eyes brimmed with anticipation— You may awaken now, Abyssal Dragon Wretch, whose strength was usurped!
