One Pound Meat, One More Attribute Point

Chapter 469: Chapter 390: Seizing the Grotto Heaven

Upon receiving the message from Ming Daoist, the next steps became crystal clear.

The team came in a fierce momentum.

Having fought their way here, naturally, they could not return empty-handed.

Su Heng didn’t think too much, and immediately decided, “Since we’re here, let’s first claim a Grotto Heaven.”

Su Heng’s prestige was extremely high, and coupled with the recent complete victory, everyone’s morale was very high as well; naturally, no one opposed this decision.

However…

Now there was another problem in front of them.

The Blood Realm was located in the Eternal Heaven, and its geographical environment was ultimately quite different from that of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"This is simple.” Huang Mei chuckled heartily, pulling out a black-based object from his pocket and introduced, “This item is called a Si Nan, capable of determining directions, discerning good from bad omens, and detecting Earth Veins. Since it was born in Eternal Heaven, it should still work even in a special environment like the Blood Realm.”

Si Nan was the old name for a compass.

Su Heng looked over.

He saw the black base covered in inscriptions, with a slightly trembling black copper spoon on top of it.

Swoosh!

Huang Mei injected a surge of Power.

Then with a flick of his wrist, he tossed the black Si Nan upward.

Numerous lines instantly extended from the Si Nan, swiftly sweeping across the barren land surface, then retracting back.

The handle of the black copper spoon pointed towards a hill on the left, Huang Mei scratched his head and with an asking glance at Su Heng, said, “This should be the direction, no mistake.”

"Is that so?”

Su Heng immediately leaned his head closer.

At that moment, Su Heng was still in his original form.

With a height of more than forty meters, even just an eye of his was roughly half the size of Huang Mei.

Huang Mei shuddered. Being a grand figure of the Linjiang Demon Path, he was obviously quite frightened by Su Heng’s casual motion.

"If that’s the case Su Heng said, “then let’s just wipe them all out.”

Bang!

With that said.@@novelbin@@

Su Heng took a step forward.

Amidst the fierce quaking of the ground, he was already moving into the distance.

Other Dragon Guards, Earth Immortals, and others, quickly transformed into streaks of various lights, following behind Su Heng.

At this moment, Zhao Sheng also passed by Huang Mei, eyeing the Si Nan in his hand with some envy, he said, “Really worthy of being the number one figure of the Linjiang Demon Path in the old days, you really do have a lot of great items.” ⱤáꞐŏＢÈṥ

Huang Mei grinned, speaking with a dismissive tone, “That is all in the past now.”

…

Su Heng ran wildly in the direction indicated by the Si Nan for hundreds of kilometers, and finally encountered the first Grotto Heaven.

Grotto Heaven, if judged solely by appearance.

This place did not seem much different from other landscapes seen along the way.

However, nearing it, Su Heng could clearly feel an increased pressure from the Blood Realm, making his movements slow, as if deeply sinking into a quagmire, requiring much more strength to lift each limb.

In front of him was a huge mountain hollow.

Inside the hollow grew yellowish-brown withered grass and some crude buildings made of stacked mud.

There lived many Demons, most of them very weak.

Just like weeds on the ground, they didn’t even qualify to be directly looked at by Su Heng.

"Are they this weak?”

Su Heng appeared somewhat surprised.

Because according to what Ming Daoist said, those who could dominate a Grotto Heaven in the Blood Realm.

Though they might not surpass a Pillar God, they were definitely among the best of the Demon Gods.

Boom boom boom!

Just as Su Heng was pondering.

The ground suddenly started to shake, cracks spreading across the mountain.

The Demons living in the hollow hid under the houses in pits, followed by an explosive burst of the mountainside.

Amidst the billowing yellowish-brown smoke, a giant mole-like Demon burrowed out from within.

This Demon was corpulent, roughly ten meters long from head to butt, and had a tail nearly the length of its body flicking through the air.

Two door-sized fangs protruded from its mouth, alongside six curled whiskers. Its eyes were dark and glossy, filled with indescribable fear.

"So that’s how it is Su Heng instantly understood.

The Demons living in this Grotto Heaven bore resemblance to this mole from their appearance.

It seemed they must share some kind of blood relation.

This mole trembled in fear before Su Heng but did not leave on its own, presumably to protect its kin.

"Get out of here, humans!” The Demon’s muscles tensed up, and its mouth emitted a threatening hiss.

This appearance not only did not scare Su Heng but instead made him laugh.

In a joking tone, he said, “How about you tie up your own hands and feet and surrender before me? Perhaps I might be merciful and let go of your subordinates who are nothing but worthless Demons.”

Ssst!

In reply to Su Heng was a yellowish-brown Breath.

But Su Heng, as if foreseeing it, displayed astonishing agility in his huge body.

He sidestepped and slightly tilted his head, dodging this attack mixed with grit.

Bang!

The sand rat burrowed downwards.

Its slightly tiny paws, compared to its own body, kept pushing forcefully.

Its round body quickly disappeared into the earth.

The speed and agility of its movement were almost no different from a marlin vanishing into the ocean.

Moreover, the power of the surrounding Earth Vein was incredibly dense.

Even when Su Heng fully extended his perception, he still couldn’t detect the creature’s whereabouts.

"Tsk tsk, things seem to be a bit difficult,” he said. However, his face showed an expression of great interest.

Swish!

The sand rat demon burst out from the earth.

Su Heng threw a Swinging Punch at it, and the creature’s body instantly shattered into pieces.

However, no blood oozed out from the broken body; just a large number of earth and stone fell to the ground, which looked like it was probably some sort of Blinding Technique.

In a more neutral environment outside, such Magic could not escape Su Heng’s perception.

But they were near Grotto Heaven and the will of the Blood Realm was immensely dense.

Su Heng’s perception was interfered with, while the demon’s strength was enhanced all-around.

In this trade-off situation.

This sand rat could actually contend with Su Heng briefly by using the geographical advantage.

But that was all.

After two more probing exchanges, Su Heng narrowed his eyes and said, “Game over.”

Boom!

He swung a punch, heavily smashing it down onto the ground.

The surrounding mountains swayed back and forth, and the ground seemed unable to withstand the power, beginning to collapse downward.

A large crack snaked towards the direction in front of Su Heng, and the surrounding buildings, rocks, and more continuously collapsed and disappeared. At the end of the crack was the cave where the demons were hiding.

The sand rat’s fat head popped out from a pit.

Seeing the continuously extending crack, a struggling expression appeared on its face.

After a moment of hesitation.

The sand rat burrowed down and disappeared.

When it reappeared, it was directly in front of the crack.

Its fur took on a dim, grayish luster; opening its mouth with two large incisors, it bit downwards.

A crisp snap sounded.

The earth in front seemed to turn into steel and was fixed in place.

The power contained in Su Heng’s punch was neutralized; the surrounding ground underwent violent fluctuations, and the crack stopped in place, ceasing to spread further.

But a powerful backlash affected its body, the sand rat’s vitality immediately weakened.

Blood seeped from its shiny black eyes, trickling down its chubby cheeks.

It turned its head to look at its family, huddled in the cave.

A weary smile seemed to spread across its face.

Unfortunately, in the next instant—

Boom!

With a flash of golden light.

A giant fireball ignited inside the cave and rapidly expanded.

The demons did not even have the chance to scream before they were instantly vaporized by the force contained within.

The bright light almost blinded it, the sand rat demon opened its mouth, and a harsh, agonizing breath could be heard.

"It’s over!”

With a cold voice carrying through.

The blinding light from the explosion was instantly shrouded, turned into dark shadows.

It was Su Heng, who had just been at a distance, now teleporting just above the sand rat’s head.

Pfft!

As Su Heng stomped down,

The sand rat, hit by both mental and physical attacks, couldn’t even manage to dodge.

Its obese body, like an air-filled balloon, burst open under Su Heng’s foot, splitting into pieces.

A fuzzy head flew far away.

It hit a rock wall and then came to a stop, rolling twice on the ground.

The light in its shiny black eyes slowly faded away.

Su Heng reached out a hand and grasped forward, a gravitational pull in his palm causing the scattered flesh of the sand rat to recondense.

Su Heng initially intended to simply throw it into the Flesh Furnace for use as reserve food. But then, turning around and seeing Huang Mei and others running up from behind, Su Heng thought for a moment and casually tossed the remains of the Demon God, saying, “Here, these are for you.”

Huang Mei immediately beamed and said, “Thank you for the reward, my lord.”

The corpse of a mighty Demon God was nothing to Su Heng, but for ordinary Cultivators like Huang Mei, it was a treasure trove.

Its bones, hair, and teeth could be used to craft weapons.

Its flesh could assist in cultivation or be traded with other Martial Artists.

Even the Essence that had not yet dissipated.

Could be used to sanctify weapons, enhancing their Spirituality.

Moreover, more importantly, this act also meant that Su Heng did not treat them as mere slaves; at least, they could get some rewards after completing their tasks.

As Su Heng’s strength continued to grow.

Some things he deemed unimportant might signify a breakthrough possibility for these subordinates.
