Chapter 957: Millstone-Sized Space Crystal (First update, requesting everything)

The distance between the two was only a few dozen meters; by the time Yuangungun reacted, the Demon Commander had already charged right in front of it.

Yuangungun had already prepared its defenses, covered on the outside by a layer of Ice Crystal Shield and a Wind Barrier.

Not only that, but its body surface was also suffused with a seven-colored precious light; this was the Seven Treasures Sumeru Divine Light, which could negate a certain amount of damage.

If one added the Eternal Indestructible Body trait, the Thick Fat trait, and the Mystery of Guard, it really wasn't just ordinarily thick-skinned. Li Zhangsheng felt that even without his own support, the Balor's Burning Body Explosion wouldn't be able to finish off Yuangungun.

Unfortunately, Yuangungun's efforts were in vain, because the Zixiao Leopard-Lin Beast seized the opportunity and unleashed a Xuancha Miemo Shenlei with a wave of its hand.

A purple-gold pillar of lightning surged over. Because the Demon Commander's attention was focused on Yuangungun, by the time it reacted, it was already too late.

In an instant, the Xuancha Miemo Shenlei completely engulfed the Demon Commander, from which came the Demon Commander's extremely shrill screams.

The sound quickly went from loud to weak, then vanished entirely.

When the lightning pillar disappeared, the Demon Commander fell from the air and slammed heavily onto the ground. Its eyes were wide open, its face still retaining pain and despair, and it never moved again.

Among Li Zhangsheng's many Demon Pets, the Zixiao Leopard-Lin Beast could be called the bane of demons. The Xuancha Miemo Shenlei, in particular, had an even better effect on the evil faction. Coupled with the Zixiao Miemo Xuancha Baozhu it had absorbed and the true meaning of Pixie Shenlei it had comprehended, both could cause doubled damage to darkness-type creatures. As long as it seized the opportunity, it could absolutely deal astonishing damage to demons.

Even though the Zixiao Leopard-Lin Beast was only a fresh Demon King, the consequences would be unimaginable if hit by the Xuancha Miemo Shenlei. Even a Demon Commander in its prime would have to suffer, let alone a Demon Commander that had been severely weakened by the Heavenly Dao and was already heavily injured; being finished off was entirely within expectations.

After the Demon Commander died, Yuangungun breathed a sigh of relief. Although it wouldn't have been in mortal danger, it was unavoidable that it would have hurt for a while. It wasn't a masochist, so naturally, it had no tendency to suffer.

At this moment, Merit Profound Yellow Qi descended from the heavens, which was immediately collected by Li Zhangsheng. The share was no different from the Demon Commander killed previously; clearly, the Heavenly Dao divided it according to rank, not according to the Demon Commander's strength.

"Well done!"

Li Zhangsheng silently retracted the Hunyuan Golden Lamp. After praising his Demon Pets' performance, he rushed impatiently toward the Demon Commander's corpse.

Because it had been hit by the Xuancha Miemo Shenlei, the skin of the Demon Commander's corpse looked as if it had been carbonized. Li Zhangsheng tore it open directly, revealing black-red muscle fibers.

Soon, Li Zhangsheng found a Dimensional Bag in the Demon Commander's stomach, as well as a stone as large as a millstone.

This stone was crystal clear throughout and radiated intense spatial fluctuations.

Just by taking one look, Li Zhangsheng confirmed that this was a Space Crystal.

Space Crystals were already rare, let alone a Space Crystal this large.

To tell the truth, this was the first time Li Zhangsheng had seen such a large Space Crystal, and it had not appeared in the memories of the Treasure King, the first Principal, or others; it was absolutely a rare existence in the world.

The larger the Space Crystal, the more precious it was. Space Crystals of ordinary size could only teleport within a plane, and there were distance limitations based on the size of the Space Crystal.

As for a Space Crystal this large, it could absolutely supply teleportation between upper planes and planes.

Additionally, Space Crystals would gradually recover after energy consumption, and the larger the volume of the Space Crystal, the faster the recovery speed.

After obtaining this Space Crystal, Li Zhangsheng couldn't help but think of a dilapidated Teleportation Array located within the Langya Kingdom.

A year ago, Li Zhangsheng had purchased a female clam spirit at the market and obtained a seed of the Tree of Life from the clam spirit. Furthermore, under his investigation, he had eventually discovered a dilapidated Teleportation Array at the clam spirit's home.

A year had passed, and Li Zhangsheng was already confident in repairing the Teleportation Array, but he had not repaired it because he lacked a suitable Space Crystal.

Now that he had obtained this Space Crystal, Li Zhangsheng could repair the Teleportation Array and head to that plane.

Since the seed of the Tree of Life had been brought over from the Dark Elves of that plane, there must definitely be elves there, and perhaps there might be Moon Elves.

The importance of Moon Elves to Kailan was self-evident, especially after the channel with Tian Jingling was cut off, which caused Li Zhangsheng to lose the channel to obtain descendants of the Elf King.

However, the moment Li Zhangsheng thought of the Dark Night King, it was like being doused with cold water, and he had to dispel the thought of repairing the Teleportation Array.

There was no help for it; even if he snuck into the Langya Kingdom, there was a possibility of being discovered by the Dark Night King. The Dark Night King possessed the advantage of home turf and might even bring along the Flame King and a group of Pseudo-Kings.

In short, before solving the problem of the Dark Night King, Li Zhangsheng had no intention of going to the Langya Kingdom for the time being. Whether he wanted to repair the Teleportation Array or head to the Baisheng King Secret Realm or the Fire Flame Secret Realm, there were great risks involved.

"In any case, I have to get past the Dark Night King first!"

Li Zhangsheng had no intention of taking risks. What he needed to do was to increase his strength as much as possible before the three-month deadline arrived, in order to deal with the Dark Night King.

In the end, it still came down to strength. As long as he defeated the Dark Night King, everything would be solved.

After an hour or two, Zhou Qing and the others, along with the dragons, returned one after another, bringing back glorious battle results.

Except for a very few demons that managed to escape, the vast majority of the demons were slaughtered by them.

As for the low-to-mid-level demons, it went without saying; they were all killed by the Monster Tamers and soldiers, and their own losses could even be described as negligible.

Upon discovering that Li Zhangsheng had slain the Demon Commander, Zhou Qing and the others felt shocked, and even more so, felt fortunate for their choice; the gazes they directed at Li Zhangsheng were filled with awe.

Judging by Li Zhangsheng's age and his feat, he definitely had a chance to contend for the imperial throne.

"Great victory!"

"Great victory!"

It was unknown who had shouted first, but the Monster Tamers and soldiers began to shout with soaring morale, which could be heard within a radius of a hundred miles.

This hearty and satisfying battle caused their morale to reach an unprecedented high.

Li Zhangsheng did not stop them; he let the soldiers vent the joy of victory and began to tally the battle losses.

Due to the well-laid ambush, except for a very few demons that escaped, the rest, including the Demon Commander, were all put to the sword.

Their own battle losses could be described as negligible, with only one Fifth Rank Stronger fallen, along with several hundred Monster Tamers and soldiers.

Oh right, there was also one adult white dragon.

Li Zhangsheng did not feel it was a pity; after all, compared to the harvest, what was one white dragon?

Of course, if it had been a gold dragon or a red dragon, Li Zhangsheng would inevitably have felt a pang of heartache.
