CHAPTER 385: CHAPTER 231 HUNDRED-EYED DEMON, HEADING NORTH (HAPPY NEW YEAR TO THE HANDSOME GUYS)_3

The stronger the talent energy, the more energy it requires.

Back when Big Black Face broke through to the Unbreakable Realm Second Star, he consumed around one million Earth Core Energy Crystals.

Qin Shou believed he wouldn’t be worse than Su Liang.

As for the Star Power within his body...

In front of a monster of the same level, using Star Power could only allow self-preservation. To counterattack effectively, he still needed talent ability.

Talent energy absorbs enough energy crystals, undergoing a transformation, becoming more powerful, and triggering a qualitative change in the body’s overall attributes.

One of the effects of Constant Star Energy Crystals is playing a decisive role when talent energy reaches its critical point.

The stronger the cultivator’s potential, the better the effect of Constant Star Energy Crystals, and sometimes even no auxiliary crystals are needed.

If potential is average or poor, then Breakthrough Potion would be required.

In daily cultivation, Constant Star Energy Crystals can also accelerate the rate at which talent energy absorbs Earth Core Energy Crystals.

Therefore, whether Earth Core Energy Crystals or Constant Star Energy Crystals, Qin Shou had to stockpile them in large quantities.

While he had ways to earn Earth Core Energy Crystals, Constant Star Energy Crystals were rare and hard to come by, requiring him to exert extra effort.

Lost in thought, the intelligent system’s notification chimed.

"Ding ding... One kilometer ahead, a native city has been detected. According to the Demon Eye Star People’s data map, this place is called Yunle City, guarded by a Three-eyed Demon whose strength is equivalent to the Unbreakable Realm Second Star..."

Qin Shou swiped on the virtual map to bring up an image of Yunle City.

"Galatron, is it possible to use the Demon Eye Star People’s network to forge the identity of a Six-eyed Demon?" he asked.

"Honorable Master, Six-eyed Demons are middle-class nobles. The Demon Eye Star People database has special records. A forged identity can only be used externally and will easily be exposed upon entering the Demon Eye Base City."

Qin Shou frowned, "That’s a bit troublesome."

"Honorable Master, I suggest you use Plan B: locate a suitable Demon Eye Noble, disguise yourself as them, and directly use their original Demon Eye Identity Card..."

Qin Shou nodded, "That works, but I’ll need to find an opportunity to ensure the Hundred-Eyed Demon officially becomes a Demon Eye Noble."

"Honorable Master, I recommend heading to Yunle City to connect with the Demon Eye Star People network. I need to collect extensive data to calculate the most feasible plan."

"Alright."

...

Yunle City.

"Whew..."

A fierce gale whipped through the city as a colossal figure appeared in the sky, throwing the townsfolk into a panic.

"Run! A devil beast is coming..."

"Oh my god, it’s a terrifying giant snail... with wings!"

"Run for your lives..."

Countless citizens fled frantically, descending into chaos.

"Buzz!!"

In an instant, three beams of white light shot into the sky. Three flame giant bird puppets screeched toward the heavens, surrounding the massive snail.

The giant snail let out several roars as ripples shimmered on its shell. Slowly, Qin Shou emerged, a vertical eye glowing on his forehead.

Seeing a Three-eyed Demon appear from the snail’s shell, the three monster puppets immediately ceased their cries. From below the city, a white silhouette ascended to the sky.

"Who are you, and why have you intruded upon Yunle City?"

A Three-eyed Demon dressed in white battle armor, his figure plump, shouted loudly.

Qin Shou smiled faintly, "I am merely a passing Four-eyed Demon; you don’t need to remember me."

As he spoke, he extended his right hand, revealing a fourth magic eye in the palm.

The Three-eyed Demon’s expression shifted upon seeing this.

No wonder he hadn’t sensed any life aura belonging to the Demon Eye Star People earlier — this was a higher-level Four-eyed Demon.

He hurriedly bowed in respect, "I was unaware of your presence, my lord. Please forgive me."

Qin Shou waved his hand, "No worries, I’m just passing through and decided to take a look."

The Three-eyed Demon felt puzzled. Passing through?

This was a border city. Could this lord have come from the Earth faction’s territory?
