As soon as Chen De made his move, he caught the two strongest Demon Beasts, and the rest of the Demon Beasts immediately scattered!
But Chen De hadn't even thought of attacking them; Demon Beasts that were too weak weren't good for reference. Did he even need skills to deal with such weaklings?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little sad. He had devoted himself to the common people, working tirelessly, day and night.
Yet, their first reaction upon seeing him was to flee. These local Demon Beasts were truly impolite.
This was simply outrageous!
He looked down at the two Demon Beasts lying on the ground, wailing continuously, their tendons in their limbs severed by his claws.
A hint of reluctance flashed in Chen De's eyes!
Using such cruel methods, thankfully, this was a last resort and did not affect his morality!
He waved his claws at them, crushing the tongues in their mouths.
This was to prevent them from screaming and disturbing other Demon Beasts, which would be troublesome.
After completing all this, he officially unleashed his ultimate moves on the two Demon Beasts on the ground.
As soon as the skills were released, a large number of glowing sky-blue runes appeared on their bodies.
Chen De observed the status of the two Demon Beasts. At the same time the runes lit up, the bodies of the two Demon Beasts visibly stiffened.
Immediately afterward, all their movements became much slower.
He instantly understood; this was an immobilization or control type skill.
It could restrict the enemy's movements. Besides the initial stiffness, it would continue to slow down the enemy's actions afterward.
This would continue until the runes on the opponent's body completely extinguished and disappeared.
Moreover, as the runes became dimmer, the slowing effect would also become weaker.
For example, if it could initially slow by three times, the next second it would be two times.
By the time the mark was about to completely disappear, the effect would be almost negligible.
In other words, the effect was best in the initial moment.
From its current performance, this skill was quite good.
Especially when he was ambushing someone, it was very suitable for creating opportunities.
Releasing this move when attacking would definitely greatly increase the success rate.
He just didn't know if the effect and duration of this skill would be affected by the opponent's cultivation, and how much the impact would be.
All these still needed to be tested on more Demon Beasts later.
After the skill test, he casually dealt with the two Demon Beasts on the ground and then left the area to find more powerful Demon Beasts to practice with.
Chen De dealing with the two Demon Beasts not only gave them a quick end but also provided more food for the Demon Beasts in the forest and reduced their survival pressure.
One action, benefiting two parties of Demon Beasts!
Not long after Chen De left, he heard the sounds of those Demon Beasts scrambling for food again.
How realistic!
This made Chen De sigh with emotion, the Demon Beasts of this forest could never repay his kindness!
...
Following the map, Chen De found a Demon Beast at the ninth level of the Demon Qi Realm.
It was better to be cautious in his actions. With a Demon Beast of this level, he could steadily suppress it even in a frontal battle.
It wasn't that Chen De was timid, but what if his ultimate move directly failed against someone with a higher cultivation realm? Then he, Chen De, would also fail!
He had carefully chosen such a soft target, ah no, a lucky Demon Beast. Chen De's intentions were far-reaching.
Shadow Leopard!
This time, he would use frontal combat to deal with this Demon Beast.
One cannot solely rely on what one is good at; addressing weaknesses is even more important.
What was Chen De currently most lacking?
It was experience in frontal combat against peers and experience in dealing with existences of higher realms.
Chen De brazenly provoked the Shadow Leopard right at its doorstep.
This time he was going for a frontal battle, no need to be sneaky.
As a top student in his previous life, Chen De had mastered so many national essences.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he spewed out colorful language.
The Shadow Leopard was indeed enraged and came before Chen De, glaring at him.
How dare Chen De, a mere seventh-level Demon Qi Realm, challenge its ninth-level Demon Qi Realm existence.
It had been in this forest for so many years and had never seen such a bold Demon Beast; food had actually delivered itself to its doorstep.
Originally, the Shadow Wolf King had issued an order in its controlled territory.
Demon Beasts in the late Demon Qi Realm were not allowed to attack each other, and even Demon Qi Realm Demon Beasts could not be killed at will.
That was because the Shadow Wolf King's territory was the weakest, so it naturally had to preserve its strength.
As for Chen De killing the Spirit Leap Hound earlier, the Shadow Leopard didn't know.
Not all Demon Beasts were constantly aware of the situation in the Vortex Forest.
And even if it knew, it wouldn't care. It was a ninth-level, while the Spirit Leap Hound was only an eighth-level.
The gap for each difference in cultivation realm was unimaginable.
Let alone challenging across realms in higher realms, even challenging across realms in the Demon Qi Realm was a sign of genius.
Originally, the Shadow Leopard couldn't actively hunt those seventh or eighth-level Demon Beasts.
But Chen De himself had actively broken the rules; he was practically asking for death!
If it made a move again, it couldn't be blamed.
So the Shadow Leopard roared at Chen De!
It howled and charged towards Chen De.
It wanted to tear apart this sky-blue rat in front of it with its claws and teeth.
As it quickly approached Chen De, it leaped up, swinging its claws to attack Chen De.
Facing this opponent whose speed was not inferior to his own.
Chen De also released Divine Crystal Armor, Heavenly Light Aurora Mark, and Tianjing Extermination Slash one after another, in the instant it leaped.
Thus, a patch of sky-blue runes suddenly appeared on the Shadow Leopard's body.
Just like that, the Shadow Leopard, still in mid-air, felt its body suddenly stiffen, and even its movements slowed down considerably.
Under normal circumstances, a creature's thought speed is faster than its body speed.
Therefore, it can control its body to perform the actions it desires.
So now the Shadow Leopard had fully realized what had happened, but its body couldn't keep up.
It could only watch helplessly as that damned rat transformed into a blue light and charged towards it.
Blood sprayed into the air!
Then both sides landed simultaneously.
The Shadow Leopard on the ground struggled twice before falling silent.
This time, the characteristics of the ultimate move were almost fully tested.
When facing an opponent with higher cultivation, the effect and duration were significantly shortened.
In the future, when encountering opponents with higher realms, he must grasp the timing well.
And Chen De also heard the system's broadcast, receiving three attribute points.
However, this time he couldn't add experience points by timing it like before.
For no other reason, his attack and speed attribute values had already reached the limit of 9.9.
The maximum attribute value for each stat in the Demon Qi Realm was only 9.9. Level 10 was the scope of the Demon Origin Realm, unless he could break through to the Demon Origin Realm.
Breaking through to the Demon Origin Realm required a large number of attribute points.
When both attack and speed were raised to 9.9, the subsequent exchange ratio became one to one hundred.
In other words, if he wanted to add the last 0.1 level, each of the three major attributes would require 10 attribute points.
With Chen De's current strength, he was already unrivaled among the ninth-level Demon Qi Realm, and with his ultimate move, he had no equal below the Demon Origin Realm.
Upgrading now wouldn't allow him to break through to the Demon Origin Realm anyway; it would only increase his strength within the Demon Qi Realm, ultimately still not matching an existence in the Demon Origin Realm.
It would also increase the difficulty of acquiring attribute points as his level increased.
The higher the realm of the Demon Beast, the fewer its numbers. Chen De couldn't defeat Demon Origin Realm Demon Beasts. Even if he broke through to the ninth-level Demon Qi Realm, he still wouldn't be their match.
It would be difficult to accumulate attribute points then.
So Chen De added 1 attribute point to attack, leaving 2 attribute points for emergencies.
With 1 attribute point added, Chen De felt nothing, and his ability level remained unchanged.
It seemed that new changes would only occur when the attribute level reached 10.
Leaving 2 attribute points, in case of an emergency, they could be used to upgrade twice to recover from injuries and directly boost him to the strongest state of his current realm after upgrading.
Also, Chen De was still unsure whether that Spirit Leap Hound was sent to monitor him.
Finally, Chen De decided that this map was too small and could no longer accommodate his continued display of his morality.
Since that was the case, it was better to find another place to continue developing as soon as possible!
Just then!
