You want me to take out a loan to practice cultivation? I'll just pay off the debt physically.

Chapter 179 From the moment the loan was disbursed, physical debt settlement became a foregone conclusion (5k)

The covenant of life was forged under the witness of the will of the abyss!

[In the previous timeline, due to your excessive weakness, the will of the abyss determined you to be the one with the absolute advantage during the process of forging a life pact.]

Therefore, the will of the abyss completely ignored your needs.

[But now, with the boost from your battle aura and the effects of your demigod equipment and skills, your overall strength has reached the ninth level!]

In a sense, the life level of a ninth-tier professional and a supreme lord is the same.

Most importantly, because you lead the Crimson Hearts to oscillate between the will of the Abyss and the will of Hell, the will of the Abyss is quite familiar with you.

The will of the abyss desires to bring you under its control!

The Abyss's Will values ​​your brainwashing and team-building abilities.

Even in the eyes of the Abyss's will, your value far surpasses that of the Insect Queen.

Therefore, the will of the abyss asks you: Are you willing to forge a life pact with the Queen of Insects, to share life and everything for the rest of your days?

Without any hesitation, you refused outright.

The moment you uttered the words of refusal, the life-binding ritual centered on the Queen shattered.

【boom! 】

[At the very instant the shattering sound echoed, the Crimson Heart Battle Clan's deadly sword technique descended with a deafening roar!]

[The Insect Queen - Sudden!]

[Perhaps the timing was off, or perhaps the aftershocks of the battle between the two sides were different.]

Although the Queen of Insects still dropped a demigod item, it was a combat boot.

[Equipment: Insect Queen Boots.]

[Rank: Demigod.]

[Occupation: Not limited.]

[Wearing Level: No Restriction.]

[Blessing ①: All attributes +35%.]

[Blessing ②: True damage +50%.]

[Blessing ③: Refining divinely bestowed crystals at an 80% speed.]

[Blessing 4: Speed ​​of refining battle aura/mana +100%.]

[Blessing ⑤: Vitality/Battle Qi recovery speed +250%.]

[Blessing ⑥: Speed ​​+300%.]

[Passive Skill:]

[Active Skill:]

[Insect Mother Set Effect: Two-piece set.]

【Effect ①: During the summoning of Zerg warriors for combat, the number of Zerg warriors is doubled, and they enjoy 50% of the summoner's attribute values.】

【Effect 2: As a supreme lord recognized by the will of the Abyss, the Insect Queen grants you +40% attack power when you enter the Abyss.】

"hiss----"

Lin Xia couldn't help but gasp when she saw how powerful the Insect Queen Boots were.

The equipment dropped by the Queen Insect can even be combined into a set.

The effect of this set is also quite terrifying.

Putting everything else aside, just based on his powerful overall attributes, the Zerg warriors he summons can actually share half of his attribute values.

It's no exaggeration to say that as long as I can refine my Sunfire Battle Qi this time and enter the seventh-tier realm...

After returning, the Zerg warriors he summoned were able to kill even Tier 8 professionals!

Demigod equipment!

As expected of demigod equipment!
The enhancement provided by a single piece of equipment is enough to give a professional the ability to fight against opponents of higher levels.

If it's a complete set of demigod gear, then even if the professional isn't a demigod, they can still be on par with one.

really!

The two biggest sources of a professional's combat power are equipment and skills.

This enhancement to one's own combat power still has a great effect even at the ninth level.

If it has no effect, it's simply because the quality of your equipment and skills is low.

"If the demigod set is this terrifying, then what about the demigod jewelry?"

Thinking about this, Lin Xia couldn't help but start daydreaming.

However, the creation of jewelry is extremely complex, involving intricate details and various cutting-edge technologies, making demigod-quality jewelry exist only in the realm of imagination.

Of course, the most important reason is that there are no demigod-level materials available for crafting.

With the large quantities of demigod materials used in its creation, it is believed that Chixin will soon be able to research and develop a method for crafting demigod ornaments.

If in the future he wears a demigod suit, adorns himself with demigod accessories, and uses demigod skill cards, then even a ninth-tier professional would likely be slaughtered in front of him.

What is a demigod?

That's what you call a demigod!
[From nowhere, a will came across time and space.]

[Coincidentally, researching demigod artifacts was also part of your future plans.]

However, at this stage, this idea remains just that—an idea.

After all, both Supreme Lords and Great Demons are extremely precious.

Life factors can be extracted from the Supreme Lord, allowing the life force to be repaired and damaged.

The true spirit essence within the Great Demon can further elevate the understanding of the soul level among the Nine-Turn cultivators of the Red Heart Society.

Under such circumstances, neither the Supreme Lord nor the Great Demon can use it to craft purely demigod jewelry.

[Comparing life-giving factors with true spirit factors, this is a blatant waste!]

Of course, after extracting these precious items, some parts of the Supreme Domain and the Great Demon's corpse still remained.

Although it has lost its extremely valuable characteristics, careful study might reveal that it could actually play a useful role.

[In May of the 148th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Lava Demon, under your command, continues its rampant loan-taking spree.]

[Especially after learning about the Redhearts Legion's achievements, the Lava Demons started taking out loans even more frequently.]

[Some demon clans didn't even come looking for them; the lava demons themselves came looking for them.]

In the abyss, there is no such thing as a credit system, nor is there any intelligent system to record everything.

[The various demon races have no idea how much debt the lava demons have taken out or how many promises they've made.]

Although they had heard rumors, they could understand the lava demons' actions.

[A promising future supreme lord, neglected by his own clan, shortened his growth time through investment from other clans.]

Isn't this normal behavior?

Based on the fact that the Abyss Will bestows blessings every few days, they felt that the Lava Demons could obtain the authority granted by the Abyss Will without participating in the Abyss Lord War.

As for the so-called fairness?

The favor of the Abyss's will is the greatest fairness!

[If the Lava Demon can maintain this pampered lifestyle, it might go even further in the future!]

Therefore, whenever lava demons come knocking, these demon races will do their utmost to receive them and offer them the greatest possible investment benefits.

[In November of the 148th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Demon Research Department of the Crimson Heart Society, based on the original Crimson Heart Crystal and drawing upon the secret manuals of Abyss Professions, Hell Training Systems, and various demon races, finally made significant improvements.]

[With the improved Crimson Heart Crystal, the rates of physical body collapse and soul disintegration have been reduced to near zero.]

According to the calculations of the third generation of the Red Heart Sect, among millions or even tens of millions of professionals, perhaps only one person will experience a physical collapse.

This powerful force, which directly affects the very foundation of life and rewrites the professional's stats, is bound to be unstable.

The fact that the Red Heart Society's Demon Research Department could reduce such extreme instability to this level already demonstrates its strength.

Those who absorb and refine Crimson Crystals, transforming into Crimson Warriors, Crimson Mages, Crimson Assassins, and Crimson Priests, also possess the ability to devour Divine Crystals, doubling their experience and energy.

The only difference between them and Abyss Classes is that they cannot gain experience energy by killing other Classes.

Of course, the most obvious difference between the transformation effect brought by Crimson Heart Crystal and that of Abyss professionals is that Crimson Heart Crystal will not cause professionals to fall into an uncontrollable state of madness.

However, after experiments showed that the aforementioned drawbacks were improved, the combat power of the Crimson Heart Profession was slightly inferior to that of the first-generation Crimson Heart Crystal.

However, as long as the drawbacks can be eliminated, a slight reduction is insignificant.

A rational professional is always more popular than an uncontrollable one.

[Deng Qi's eyes widened in fascination as he saw the improved version of the Crystallized Heart.]

He felt this was unprecedented in the world! Didn't the Winter Empire have ice mages?

These powerful professionals, resembling special or hidden professions, are actually members of the Empire's secret army, trained through extremely brutal selection processes.

The Crimson Crystal represents a new special class, or rather, a hidden class!

[However, under the Red Heart Society's system of sharing blessings, such special professions are openly discussed.]

[Any member of the Red Heart Society who wishes to switch to a Red Heart profession only needs to contribute a certain number of contribution points to receive a Red Heart Crystal tailored to their individual needs.]

In February of the 149th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the corpse of a Supreme Lord possessed an exceptionally strong life force.

Therefore, after killing several Supreme Lords, the Red Heart Society's thirst for the Great Demon reached a new level.

After all, True Spirit Factors are the bridge to increasing strength!

[Therefore, the main force of the Red Heart Society began to turn its guns around.]

The Red Heart Society has entrusted the Orca Kingdom with the defense of the Abyss Battlefield.

Furthermore, the Red Heart Society made a promise: if the Orca Kingdom could forge an alliance from the ocean, the Red Heart Society would grant the Orca Kingdom a considerable amount of contribution points, depending on the strength of the alliance.

The Orca Kingdom is very excited about this.

After all, the various cutting-edge technologies developed by the Red Heart Society Research Institute have greatly benefited the orca professionals.

[Especially the eye-opening "True Understanding of Souls," which helped many eighth-tier professionals in the Orca Kingdom to dispel the fog, understand themselves, and advance to ninth-tier professionals.]

Although the human body differs from that of marine mammals like killer whales, once one reaches a certain level of cultivation, the fundamental principles remain the same.

[With the advanced techniques developed by the old headmaster, the strongmen of the Orca Kingdom aren't fools. By drawing analogies, they can probably figure out a suitable path for themselves.]

The most excited of all was the orca chieftain.

He's been stuck at level 97 for a long time!

The Enlightenment Elixir from the Red Heart Society is said to allow even ninth-tier professionals to comprehend soul information and achieve a breakthrough.

Such heavy protection can be obtained simply by exchanging so-called contribution points.

Therefore, the orca chieftain took this matter very seriously and even began to employ unconventional methods to garner support for the ocean alliance.

Of course, the orca kingdom is notoriously petty in the ocean, and once they become powerful, they will naturally seek revenge against their former enemies.

[Especially that old humpback whale in the deep ocean, with its massive body and powerful, vigorous vitality, has consistently interfered with the hunting and territorial expansion activities of the orca kingdom.]

After achieving a breakthrough, the orca chieftain didn't hesitate to lead his orca pack to give the old humpback whale a sound beating.

To recruit the humpback whale into the Red Heart Society and to earn a large amount of contribution points, the orca chieftain merely inflicted severe injuries on him, smashing his head and blasting out his eyes.

If it didn't have some ulterior motive, then this old humpback whale is doomed!

[A mere fatal wound is too good for the opponent.]

Even if the old humpback whale is completely smitten, he still needs to go out and find out what's going on after being beaten like this.

Thus, the Red Heart Society came into the old humpback whale's view.

Upon learning of the Red Heart Society's power, the old humpback whale's anger towards the orca kingdom's alliance vanished instantly.

[If killer whales, a scourge of the ocean, can become allies of the Red Heart Society, then so can they!]

[Led by the humpback whale pod, dozens of marine pods have submitted applications to the Red Heart Society.]

The Red Heart Society naturally welcomes all such offers.

Of course, during this process, certain conflicts still arose due to differences in racial temperament and culture.

[For the sea beast tribes that dare to cause trouble without understanding the customs of the Red Heart Society, the Red Heart Society will unleash its swift and decisive measures with a smile!]

A demon-sealing battle group entered the deep sea and wiped out this sea monster clan!

This behavior provoked discontent among many sea creature groups.

But when they learned that the Demon-Sealing Battle Group, capable of annihilating their clan, still had several hundred units on the Red Heart Society's side, their eyes instantly regained their clarity.

【right! 】

[The Chixin Society members are truly wonderful people!]

[Supporting them in their development, making them stronger, to the point that even the Orca Kingdom dares not easily bully their human alliance—this is truly the act of a great benefactor!]

How could he possibly be a bad person?

This is slander!

Anyone who dares to think that way is an enemy of the entire ocean and all sea creatures!

In July of the 149th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, with the Crimson Heart Battle Group leading a large number of Demon-Sealing Battle Groups into Hell, the already disadvantaged situation in the Abyss became even more critical.

[The twenty-first level of hell, where the lava demon resides, is on the verge of being breached with the help of the Red Heart Society.]

[After all, the Lava Demon's minions are already powerful; the reason they haven't been able to conquer them is simply because they lack high-end combat power.]

Now that the Crimson Hearts Legion has arrived, the Lava Demons have everything they need!

[In the same month, the will of hell began to use various means, including entering your dreams, to exert more blatant coercion and enticement upon you.]

The allure of the will of hell has risen to the level of the Devil Duke!

[After your expressionless refusal, the will of hell changed its usual behavior and began to threaten and intimidate you in the most insidious and vicious tone.]

No matter how the other party threatens you, you remain unmoved.

[In January of the 150th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, after years of research and at great cost, the Red Heart Society's Military Research Department finally modified the ultimate military weapon onto the super armor.]

It's no exaggeration to say that, in order to modify the scaled-down version of the ultimate military weapon, they even collaborated with the Armor Research Department to improve every aspect of the super armor.

[Especially in terms of kinetic energy enhancement, efficiency has been increased threefold.]

[It's fair to say that, for the sake of the ultimate military weapon, they practically made a whole pot of dumplings—the super armor kinetic energy booster.]

The completion of the super armor modification means that all the Nine-Turn Professions within the Red Heart Society who are loyal to you now possess the ability and means to harm the Supreme Lord.

[The supreme seedlings within the abyss are in a situation where, if they so desire, they can drag their opponents down with them to their deaths.]

[In an instant, the frenzied frequency of combat by the Nine-Turn Squad within the Red Heart Society increased dramatically.]

[In hell, whether you encounter a progenitor of a supreme being or a direct descendant of a great demon, fight without hesitation!]

The direct descendants of the Great Demon are cunning and calculating; sensing trouble, they almost always avoid direct confrontation.

[Did it hurt your self-esteem?]

Does the devil have pride?

The rising stars of various demon races in the abyss, driven by their arrogance, anger, and revered status, paid the ultimate price by summoning powerful abyss lords from nearby areas to their aid, and even by secretly ambushing them.

In April of the 150th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, when the Crimson Heart Society, in coordination with the Lava Demons, launched an attack on the final core area of ​​the 4st level of Hell, a large number of Supreme Seedlings suddenly surged in from the surrounding area.

They used contracts signed by their respective tribes to force the lava demons to relinquish their control of the twenty-first level of Hell.

In their words, the will of the abyss favors the lava demon, meaning the lava demon is destined to become a supreme lord.

[If that's the case, what harm is there in letting them have this matter?]

The lava demon glared at these shameless creatures, its gaze dark and menacing.

"Since you know the will of the abyss favors me, you still dare to steal my spoils?"

This is an order issued by the will of the abyss!

Aren't you afraid of being punished by the will of the abyss?

Upon hearing this, Supreme Seedling laughed.

They laughed at the lava demons for their lowly origins, saying they didn't understand the will of the abyss!

Throughout history, the will of the abyss has encouraged lords to fight, to engage in infighting, and to plunder.

Only those lords who survive this struggle are qualified to become supreme lords!

[What use is the Abyss's will to lords who don't even dare to engage in such basic combat, lords who only know how to complain at the slightest provocation?]

In short!

The will of the abyss will not care what happens here!

[Unless the Lava Demon is willing to squander its own accumulated merits just to complain to the Will of the Abyss and seek justice for itself.]

[But doing that would be incredibly foolish!]

[It's all because the Lava Demon signed those abyssal pacts for some insignificant resources.]

For some races, the moment the lava demon signs the pact, the taking of their spoils is a foregone conclusion.

On the other side, the Lava Demon watched the boastful and insolent Supreme Prodigies, a slight smirk playing on his lips.

He can relinquish the spoils of war!

But the spoils of the twenty-first level of hell aren't just His!

To paraphrase the Red Heart Society, from the moment these demon races began lending money and distributing resources, physical debt repayment was destined to be the end result!
