Chapter 1026: Chapter 1026

Because this world was too dangerous, Du You finally decided to take a light approach. All the Demon Extermination Spirits created by Lin Yushi were left behind to continue causing chaos in this fortress city.

At that time, the three had already disappeared, and Du You had no intention of staying nearby or attacking other targets in the vicinity. If it attracted powerful tier-5 enemies, it would not be a fun situation.

After moving a great distance away, Du You finally stopped and, along with the two sisters, found a small cave to hide in.

"Let’s rest for a bit. You two study these magic skills while I start the sphere," Du You said as he handed over the high-tier cultivation techniques he had gathered to the two sisters, who began studying them immediately.

Because these were not the type of skills one had to research bit by bit from the Divine Manual. These were skills in themselves, so they could directly learn them and then use Crystal Coins to make improvements.

It took less than an hour for the two to complete their study.

After burning a not too large amount of yellow Crystal Coins, the two’s panels upgraded from mid-tier Demon Extermination Power to high-tier Demon Extermination Power, which certainly reached the level cap of 60.

In normal advancement skills, level 60 was already the limit. To advance further, Du You did not know what was needed at this point. But with ordinary cultivation skills, it was said to be impossible to surpass this level.

As for the skill description itself, there was nothing remarkable, for it was just the foundation of basic capabilities. Although the skill level decreased from 36 to 32, dropping four levels, the magic not only didn’t decrease but actually increased significantly. Even the strength and purity of the magic itself improved greatly, appearing a deeper shade of gold.

Simultaneously, when using the skill, because the magic itself had enhanced, the power of the skill also increased slightly, and the consumption also decreased. Although the improvement wasn’t much, it was already quite apparent.

"You two are lucky, your first battle yielded a bloodline, and a high-tier one at that. Which one of you will use it?"

Du You took out a bottle, which was not a bloodline bottle, but a bloodline that dropped.

Shadow Demon Bloodline: Using this will grant a high-tier Shadow Demon Bloodline.

The bloodline’s description was simple, but Du You realized upon reading the fine print that the source of this bloodline was very special. Just as Du You had suspected, this skill itself had evolved from a Demon lineage. Moreover, it wasn’t an evolutionary enhancement but a counter-evolution specifically meant to counter Demons and Evil Creatures.

The value of this bloodline wasn’t high, not because it wasn’t powerful, but because it didn’t mesh well with most other powers. Once a conflicting bloodline was forcibly integrated, the consequences could be severe.

A failure would still be tolerable; at most, one would end up with a defective bloodline with minimal enhancement.

But if a conflict occurred, it could be counterproductive and even reduce one’s own strength. Once the bloodline was integrated, cleaning it was nearly impossible, and trying to integrate a new bloodline would only increase the likelihood of a fatal conflict.

However, the compatibility of this bloodline with the two sisters was very high, although it didn’t reach his own level, it was certainly not low. This compatibility represented not just the success rate but also the power after integration.

The two exchanged glances, and just as Lin Yucha was about to speak, Lin Yushi spoke up first, "Sister, you should use it. In large-scale battles, I mostly use Demon Extermination Spirits. Even with a bloodline, this skill wouldn’t enhance much, and the effects aren’t great either. If you enhance it, hunting higher-tier enemies would be easier."

Since the Demon Extermination Spirits themselves were formed by Demon Extermination Power, perhaps due to very similar types of force, the Shadow Demons inflicted limited damage during battles, and similarly, the Demon Extermination Spirits could not greatly harm the Shadow Demons.

This resulted in a situation where the battles were not very dangerous for either side. If it weren’t for the multitude and strength of the Demon Extermination Spirits, making them effective wouldn’t be easy. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✶𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✶𝓷𝓮𝓽

"Yes, Yucha, you use it first, we can still get the same bloodline later. With so many tier-4 Shadow Demons here, we’re bound to get it," Du You persuaded, and Lin Yucha finally nodded in agreement.

To use this bottle, just drink it directly. Of course, adjustments were still needed afterward, which required some Crystal Coins to help. Without Crystal Coins to assist, achieving the ideal effect would be difficult.

Of course, not many Crystal Coins were burned since the compatibility was already very high.

Once the Crystal Coins completely burned out, Lin Yucha’s panel was enhanced with a new bloodline.

Bloodline: Shadow Demon (tier 4)

Base attributes increased by 130%, Demon Extermination skill power increased by 100%, consumption reduced by 25%, magic recovery speed increased by 100%. Against Evil Creatures, strength further increased by 20%, and against Demons, killing power increased again by 10%.

Included suppression, passive, reduces the impact of mental and soul-based skills on oneself, and exerts mental pressure on Evil Creatures.

Included Demon Extermination Resistance, own defense resistance increases by level*0.8.

Included Demon physique, physical strength enhanced by 200%, physical recovery increased by 200%, wound healing speed accelerated.

Included Chaotic Strike, when attacking, it ignores the enemy’s magic resistance and defense to some extent, causing absolute damage.

Du You carefully examined the enhancement from the bloodline. Indeed, it was not comparable to his own Shadow Giant Dragon, whether due to compatibility, the bloodline itself, or perhaps because of his star rating.

In any case, it was unclear, but even so, this bloodline enhancement was already very good.

"Hmm, the increase in base attributes is a bit less, and the reduction in consumption is also a bit less. The strength increase is only against Evil Creatures, a bit lacking against regular enemies."

"This is already very good, I’ve researched other people’s bloodline enhancements, and ours is far better," Lin Yucha was very satisfied with her bloodline. Honestly, this bloodline was already among the top tier of all bloodlines.

Now, although she was still not as strong as Du You, she was more than sufficient to assist him. If her sister acquired the same bloodline in the future, the two of them collaborating would certainly yield a strength not under Du You’s.

This was Lin Yucha’s confidence, as well as the strength of this bloodline.

"Yes, master, this bloodline is really powerful. I wish I had this bloodline too," Lin Yushi was also looking at the panel, but her face was full of longing, with not a hint of jealousy.

Du You smiled and continued to examine the bloodline essence and the attached abilities. Sometimes these attached abilities could offer even more enhancements than the bloodline itself.
