Chapter 1264: A Great Harvest (Second update, requesting all)
Li Zhangsheng naturally understood the flaws of the Styx Oath; he could not possibly trust Bernama, especially since an irreconcilable hatred had already formed between the two sides.
As a top-tier second-generation of the Abyss, if he spared Bernama's life, how could the other party not hold a grudge against Li Zhangsheng? Moreover, the credibility of demons is truly questionable.
Most importantly, only by killing Bernama could he maximize his interest.
As for offending the Demon Monarch Dagon, let alone whether Dagon's feelings for Bernama were as cold and heartless as those of ordinary demons, even if he were truly willing to avenge Bernama, no matter how strong Dagon was, he would first have to enter the Fairy World, and then he would have to find Li Zhangsheng; otherwise, all talk is moot.
According to Li Zhangsheng's understanding of demons, even if Bernama died, Dagon probably wouldn't feel any heartache...
Demons are notoriously cold and heartless, and besides, Dagon has more than just Bernama as an offspring.
Li Zhangsheng couldn't be bothered to answer; under Bernama's fearful gaze, he struck twice with the Huangquan Sword, gouging out Bernama's eyeballs.
Even just the eyeballs were still larger than a water vat; these eyeballs could be called the most essential part of Bernama's body and could serve as top-tier artifact refining materials.
Bernama let out an extremely shrill scream, and the eye sockets that had lost their eyes sprayed out a large amount of green blood, which was immediately collected by Li Zhangsheng using a Strange Treasure gourd.
Although this blood had astonishing corrosiveness, the Strange Treasure gourd was not affected.
As a direct descendant of Dagon, Bernama's Bloodline could be considered quite Pure, comparable to the difference between a Red Luan and a Phoenix.
Ignoring Bernama's screams, Li Zhangsheng continued to follow the same method, digging out all of Bernama's fangs, Poison Sac, heart, brain, and demon core.
Bernama's vitality was extremely tenacious; even without its heart, brain, and demon core, it still did not die immediately, until several minutes later, when it finally lost its breath.
It took quite some time, but Li Zhangsheng finally finished processing Bernama's corpse; blame its massive size for making him work so hard.
What made Li Zhangsheng happy was that all of Bernama's Storage Item were intact, mainly because Li Zhangsheng hadn't given it a chance.
At the moment of Bernama's death, in an unknown layer of the Abyss, this place was a Water World just like the 175th layer, but its area far exceeded the 175th layer, being quite a bit larger than the Fairy World.
In a pitch-black body of water, suddenly, two eyes the size of houses were revealed, and then they closed again, as if nothing had happened.
In the 175th layer of the Abyss, several Demon Commander led by Pushikashi returned one after another; although they were quite far away, they were constantly paying attention to the battle here.
After Bernama's death, these Demon Commander had to extinguish any thoughts of escaping or rebelling, and could only continue to submit to Li Zhangsheng on the surface.
In addition, they also brought back several corpses of Demon Commander.
Before the Hunyuan Heluo Forbidden Array was set up, some surviving Demon Commander had managed to escape, mainly because Li Zhangsheng's energy had been focused on Bernama.
"Those who did not kill their targets, stand out!"
Under Li Zhangsheng's gaze, three of the Demon Commander stood out tremblingly.
It wasn't that they didn't want to hide it, but Li Zhangsheng must have been watching their every move, and besides, their companions were all witnesses; they couldn't hide it at all.
"Master, we were wrong. Please give us another chance."
"Master, please forgive our sins."
"Master, we are willing to swear by the Styx to be loyal to you for a lifetime."
The three Demon Commander knelt on the ground without any integrity, fearing that Li Zhangsheng would kill them to silence them.
Unfortunately, Li Zhangsheng still felt that he had too many Demon Commander subordinates, and it would be best to find a reason to reduce their numbers.
Boom— Boom— Boom—
Under the fearful gaze of the other Demon Commander, Li Zhangsheng killed these three Demon Commander on the spot.
Li Zhangsheng looked at the remaining four Demon Commander and said indifferently: "You all swear by the Styx! Of course, you can also refuse!"
The four Demon Commander led by Pushikashi hurriedly swore to the Styx, willing to serve Li Zhangsheng as their master and never betray him for the rest of their lives.
As for the effect of swearing to the Styx, that is a matter of opinion; there will always be at least some binding force.
Li Zhangsheng continued to clean up the battlefield; this time, in addition to Bernama, there were more than ninety corpses of Demon Commander.
However, some corpses were almost blown into meat paste, and although Storage Item are known for their sturdiness, under this level of offensive, quite a few were still destroyed.
Besides that, some Demon Commander, knowing they were doomed, did not hesitate to destroy their Storage Item and Dimensional Bag.
Under these circumstances, Li Zhangsheng still obtained more than fifty Storage Item.
This was the first time he had such a large harvest; after all, their owners were all Demon Commander.
Although the 175th layer of the Abyss was dominated by Bernama, these Demon Commander were like lords in medieval Europe, each possessing a not-so-small territory, and crucially, they had autonomy, as long as they 'paid tribute' to Bernama every once in a while; this was almost the norm in all major layers of the Abyss.
In the time that followed, Li Zhangsheng began to head toward the underwater castle built by Bernama, and on the way, he began to check these Storage Item.
As a top-tier Double-Character King, 0.7 of a Wudi, treasures useful to Li Zhangsheng were becoming increasingly rare, especially since these were harvests from demons; unless it was a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure like the Nether Moon Lotus, there were probably very few treasures useful to him.
However, Li Zhangsheng could also reuse waste; useless Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure Grade or even World Wonder Grade Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure could be directly refined by the "Golden Crow Nine Revolutions," and as for finished treasures, they could be purified by the Gate of Light and Darkness to serve as artifact refining materials.
It took some time, but Li Zhangsheng used his special ability to directly screen out the treasures that met his requirements.
What made him happy was that there were more than a hundred Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure Grade treasures alone, among which Bernama's storage ring contributed the most, accounting for 1/3 directly.
Just as he had estimated, except for a few treasures that could not be identified, the rest of the treasures were of no use to him.
Among these hundred-plus Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure Grade treasures, there were a total of 65 Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure that could be refined by the "Golden Crow Nine Revolutions."
According to Li Zhangsheng's estimation, as long as he refined these Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, the "Golden Crow Nine Revolutions" could probably leap to the eighth level.
Among them, there were naturally treasures that reached the World Wonder Grade, and there were as many as eight of them.
Unfortunately, five of them were duplicates, a type of ore called Sea Nether Stone.
In the 175th layer of the Abyss, there was a World Wonder Grade resource point that produced Sea Nether Stone.
This resource point could only produce one Sea Nether Stone every hundred years; the effect of this material was quite peculiar: as long as one was hit by an object made of Sea Nether Stone, a forced judgment would be triggered; the weak would go blind directly, and Stronger of the same realm might fall into a blinded state, but it was ineffective against creatures stronger than oneself.
Seeing the effect of the Sea Nether Stone, Li Zhangsheng shook his head with a bitter smile; this thing was truly useless to him.
However, upon seeing the next World Wonder, a happy smile could not help but appear on Li Zhangsheng's face.
