Chapter 386: Ideas for a New Skill

“Next, take a few days to stabilize your realm. While you guide the Demon Race members who have reached their limits to break through, train and drill the Demon army in preparation for expansion,” Yi Chen instructed. “Those who have reached their limits should go to the Political Council, where each of them can register to receive an Extreme Spirit Pill.”

“The Extreme Spirit Pills are not free; they must contribute accordingly to receive one. If their contributions are insufficient, they can owe for now.”

“Understood!”

The swamp crocodile nodded eagerly.

“Starting today, you are the Demon Emperor of the Demon Race. Find a place to build your Demon Emperor palace, select your Demon guards, and even establish a ranking system for your Demon Race. Do you understand what you need to pay attention to?” Yi Chen asked.

“Absolutely loyal to the master. Even if the master tells me to self-destruct, I will execute it without hesitation!” The swamp crocodile answered promptly.

Yi Chen nodded slightly.

This answer made him very satisfied.

Looking at the swamp crocodile’s physique, Yi Chen felt it was somewhat awkward and instructed, “Take some time to adjust your shape based on your power characteristics. Make your body longer and thinner, with limbs that are as slender as possible. In the future, aim to develop in the direction of law-based attacks, and become accustomed to flying.”

“Understood!”

The swamp crocodile felt deeply grateful and secretly proud.

It felt worthy of being the master’s favored Demon Race member, especially since Yi Chen was even taking the time to think about its future development direction.

“I have given you everything I can. Don’t let me down,” Yi Chen said calmly.

“Yes!”

At that moment, even the swamp crocodile, who was usually timid, felt a surge of passion.

It wished to give its life to repay Yi Chen’s guidance and bestowal.

Of course, this enthusiasm came quickly and faded just as fast.

If Yi Chen ordered it to self-destruct, it would choose to do so without hesitation.

But all of this was based on its desire to live for eternity.

It seemed somewhat contradictory, yet it was not conflicting.

For, it firmly believed that to live for eternity, the only way was to carry out Yi Chen’s orders at all costs, ensuring that Yi Chen, its master, would remember its loyalty and significant contributions, thus sparing its life in any situation.

As for willingly giving its life, it rather preferred not to!

The Demon Race would not perish, and unless given an order from Yi Chen, it intended never to fight directly with anyone.

At most, it would launch distant attacks.

“First, practice. I’ll help you research a Cultivation Method!” Yi Chen instructed.

The swamp crocodile hurriedly sat cross-legged and expelled the crystal, which had evolved and could now be renamed as Demon Pill, beginning its cultivation.

Yi Chen utilized his powerful divine consciousness to observe how the Demon Pill attracted spirit energy from the heavens and earth, guiding the swamp crocodile to continuously adjust its Cultivation Method.

After spending five days, he successfully adjusted the cultivation method to best suit the swamp crocodile’s current strength realm based on the state of how the Demon Pill absorbed spirit energy.

Once he finalized the matters concerning the Demon Race, Yi Chen returned to the flying treasure.

He handed over more than ten thousand Extreme Spirit Pills to Bai Ruo Xin, instructing her to pass them to the Political Council for distribution to the full-level Demon Race members.

After returning to the flying treasure, he focused on researching the seventh new skill transmission.

For the seventh new skill transmission, besides the Stage of Separation "Chaos Technique," he planned to continue improving existing skills like "Cloud Treading Technique" and "Heaven-Slashing Technique" to enhance the strength of the top geniuses.

At the same time, he intended to teach them a weakened version of the "Shield of Protection."

Unfortunately, even with the top geniuses’ talents, their understanding of the rules during the Stage of Separation still hadn’t reached the level where they could learn formations.

If they could, creating several formations that could enhance their attacks would surely provide a massive boost to their combat power.

In addition to the "Shield of Protection," he planned to create another spell-type attack, one that could slow down the speed and reaction of enemies.

This would significantly enhance the top geniuses’ ability to counter various tribes.

Once the top geniuses improved their realms and used various skills to overcome their weaknesses, humanity would become the greatest nemesis of all tribes.

Yi Chen’s vision was for humanity to one day be able to use various skills to counter the talents and advantages of any race.

After confirming the content for the seventh new skill transmission, Yi Chen set to work immediately.

Improving various skills was quite simple.

It only required weakening the power of various skills, which he accomplished in just a few days.

The only challenge was creating a spell-type attack that could slow down and diminish the speed and reactions of enemies.

This skill would also greatly enhance Yi Chen himself.

Therefore, he didn’t plan to create a spell suitable only for Stage of Separation cultivators based on the top geniuses’ strength realm; instead, he intended to create a set of spells at the Xuan Immortal level or even higher.

Then, he would weaken and adapt this skill to suit the Stage of Separation level.

In the short term, it would definitely be challenging to create.

Fortunately, he wasn’t in a hurry; even if the top geniuses cultivated day and night in the second-generation Cave Paradise, they would still need a few months to break through to Stage of Separation.

Moreover, in the early stages, the top geniuses would only serve as supportive roles while the main fighting forces for expansion, the Black Tiger Tribe and the Demon Race, dealt with it. It didn’t matter if the seventh new skill transmission occurred a few months later.

After thinking it over, Yi Chen decided to focus on researching and creating new skills only after breaking through to a higher realm.

This way, the new skills would be even more powerful.

In any case, given his current strength realm, it would only take over a month to break through to a higher major realm.

Having made up his mind, Yi Chen controlled the flying treasure, penetrating the atmosphere and entering outer space.

As he activated the Luck Technique to draw fortune from the entire Tianling Star Cluster, he concentrated on his cultivation.

…

Days passed by.

With the help of Extreme Spirit Pills, the full-level Demon Race members began to break through one after another.

Except for the earliest batch that joined the Great Flame Empire, the remaining full-level Demon Race members nearly all had to incur significant debts in contribution value to obtain the Extreme Spirit Pills.

However, none of these full-level Demon Race members hesitated; they all chose to borrow to acquire the Extreme Spirit Pills.

The temptation of overcoming tribulations and evolving into a more advanced Demon Race was irresistible to anyone.

In just half a month, over one hundred full-level Demon Race members successfully overcame their tribulations.

And this was just the beginning.

The full-level Demon Race used to be full-level fierce beasts.

Most of these over one hundred full-level Demon Race members originated from the exile planet, with a smaller portion coming from Nika’s territory.

Once they occupy more life planets in the future, almost every life planet could nurture over a hundred full-level Demon Race members.

Moreover, there were many fierce beasts on each of the major life planets, with countless fierce beasts of various levels.

The cultivation method Yi Chen developed for the Demon Race, while falling short compared to humanity’s cultivation methods, was still at least ten times faster than those of other tribes.

As long as these Demon Race members were willing to consume contribution value to cultivate in the Cave Paradise, the entire Demon Race, regardless of strength levels, would rapidly expand as the Great Flame Empire occupied more life planets.
