Chapter 624 421: Devouring the Wandering Soul of the Fallen Shadow Demon, Demon State Strengthened Again
After a round of inspection, the time had already reached eleven in the morning.
Luna and Marie were bustling in the kitchen.
It seemed like they found their own joy during the Frosty Winter Period.
Immersed in the study of cooking techniques.
Zong Shen glanced over, seeing that it wasn't mealtime yet, walked upstairs.
Returned to the room, closing the door and windows tightly.
Took out the [Sealing Spirit Altar (Orange)].
Previously, it had collected the wandering soul of the Fallen Shadow Demon lurking within Evans.
Any Demon's Soul can serve as nourishment to strengthen the Demon Power.
A few days ago, Zong Shen even devoured the wandering soul of Fear Demon King Bananazar.
So, this small Overlord-level Shadow Demon's wandering soul was nothing.
Before unsealing, he had to first enter the Demon State.
Only then could the Demon Power within him be fully manifested.
With the [Sealing Spirit Altar] in hand, Zong Shen activated the Demon State without hesitation.
His body rapidly expanded, and the pitch-black Demon Power overflowed outside.
Constructed his body with a Demon Projection.
After several enhancements, his Demon State became increasingly majestic.
His body seemed to turn into a black hole.
The sunlight streaming in from outside the window was completely devoured.
The entire room grew dim, as if shrouded by dark clouds.
His facial features were all outlined by green lines.
His eyes shone with a green glow, covered entirely in the most complex runes.
His ram-like horns appeared dark purple, with spiral patterns that could captivate the soul.
The huge black wings gently spread, nearly covering the entire room.
His height also increased from the previous two meters twenty-three to two meters fifty-six.
This change was brought about by the Enhanced Demon State.
It's believed that after devouring this Shadow Demon's wandering soul.
His Demon State could further be strengthened.
"The feeling of power is intoxicating."
Zong Shen looked at his ferocious left hand which had turned into a Demon's Claw.
And sighed unconsciously.
In that moment, many of his attributes underwent nearly a doubling change.
He could easily conjure Chaos Light Balls possessing Chaos Attributes with a gesture.
Enhanced Demon State could only last for five minutes, so Zong Shen didn't waste time.
With the massive Demon's Claw nail, he gently unsealed the mark on the [Sealing Spirit Altar].
Released the wandering soul of the Shadow Demon.
Almost at the moment of unsealing, a dim shadow rushed out.
Attempting to escape and flee.
But was grabbed by Zong Shen's Demon's Claw.
The dim shadow then reversed course, entwining along the Demon's Claw.
Rushing toward his demonic head.
"Roar!"
Zong Shen let out a low roar.
Activated the [Fire Sacrifice] skill.
In the Demon State, his Fire Sacrifice also changed.
From an ordinary red flame, it turned into a haunting green chaos flame.
The flames surged up, turning Zong Shen into a towering green torch.
Making his demon form even more terrifying and grotesque.
Among demons, there exists a Great Demon known as the Flame Demon.
Now Zong Shen's image had some of the aura of a Flame Demon.
The flames surged up, igniting the dim shadow.
"Ah!!!"
"Damnable!!!"
"Damn human, why do you possess the power of a Demon Commander!!!"
The wandering soul of the Shadow Demon let out a reluctant roar.
Although it was in the form of a Spirit Body, it could sense the astonishing Demon Power contained in Zong Shen's body.
This power was almost reaching the level of a Blood Burning Legion Commander.
Approaching the power of an Epic Level Demon.
Stronger than the Shadow Demon at its peak.
It couldn't resist while in the wandering soul state.
Plus, Zong Shen ignited the fire of chaos, depriving it of the ability to penetrate and corrode the soul.
Zong Shen wasted no words, the massive Demon's Claw scooped up the dim shadow like a black skimmer.
Opening his pitch-black mouth, he began devouring the wandering soul of the Shadow Demon rapidly.
The texture of the Demon's Soul was like springy pudding.
Though seemingly not physical, he could feel its presence while devouring.
Zong Shen devoured quickly, soon consuming the entire mass of the wandering soul cleanly.
These demon remnants were violently crushed by him, lastly, assimilated by the Demon Power.
Gradually strengthening his Demon Power, filling his body with it.
His attack and defense attributes immediately rose a bit, besides mastering some abilities of the Shadow Demon.
Now his Demon State underwent some slight changes once again.
[Skill: Demon State]
[Enhanced Demon State: Transform into a powerful demon, increasing basic damage by 1.95 times, increasing life by 2.85 times, increasing attack speed by 1.7 times, increasing Armor Value and Magic Resistance by 2.55 times, physical damage immunity 35%, can convert 15% of the damage caused to enemies into Life Value
Weapon attack will deal an additional 35 points of Chaos Damage, can also throw Chaos Light Balls for ranged attack, maximum attack range 100 meters, damage attribute ignores armor, duration 6 minutes, cooling time 48 hours
Shadow Fall Stealth: Enter the Shadow Fall Stealth state, able to merge into shadows, shape can change, undetectable by Investigation Magic and Eye of Truth below Tier 5, duration 3 minutes]
As expected, the Demon State was once again strengthened.
However, due to the limited strength of the Shadow Demon's wandering soul, this enhancement was not as significant as when devouring the wandering soul of the Fear Demon King.
The most noticeable improvement was in attack speed, increasing from 1.5 times to 1.7 times.
Moreover, the duration of the Demon State was extended by a minute.
Cooling time was reduced by two hours.
No time to feel the power boost from the new changes.
Before the precious Demon State ended, Zong Shen took out the [Heart of Impurity].
After several dissolutions and devourings of Demon Power.
Now only half of the evil filth attached to the surface remained.
Zong Shen held it in his hand, beginning to input Demon Power wildly with the Heart of Impurity as the node.
This wild input made the shadow outside him recede somewhat.
Simultaneously, the surface of the Heart of Impurity erupted with a massive black glow.
Plunging the entire room into darkness as if fallen into it.
If observed from outside Zong Shen's room.
One would see darkness inside the window, so deep that sunlight couldn't penetrate.
This process lasted for about a minute.
All the black glow surged back into Zong Shen's body like a tide.
Black smoke rolled in his hand, crackling and sizzling.
The evil filth on the surface of the Heart of Impurity was reduced to one-tenth of its original amount.
Unable to completely shroud the heart anymore,
Thus exposing the true form of the entire heart.
This was a Heart of the Holy Spirit, entirely white and lustrous.
Like a jade stone in the shape of a heart.
Naturally emitting a sacred Holy Light.
The Holy Light and Zong Shen's Demon Power created a fierce reaction.
Continuously annihilating each other.
If the last tenth of impurity is devoured, then the Heart of the Holy Spirit can be fully unsealed.
In terms of level, this item was nearly equivalent to the Demon's Heart Zong Shen fused with before.
Possessing powerful Power of the Holy Spirit.
These are two opposing and conflicting forces.
However, Zong Shen had a way to handle them perfectly.
If successful, Zong Shen's strength could be enhanced once more.
The Heart of the Holy Spirit in his hand continuously scorched his Demon's Claw.
The piercing pain made him almost unable to bear it.
With a thought, he stored the soon-to-be-unsealed Heart of the Holy Spirit into the storage grid.
The feeling of pain immediately vanished.
His [Evil's Filth] skill also got improved.
The infusion of more filth upgraded the skill from lv15 to lv36.
Allowing a surface area of 72 cm × 72 cm of Evil's Filth to manifest in designated body parts for defense.
This provided nearly half a square meter of defensive area.
Equivalent to Zong Shen having a special Shield.
