Chapter 1186: Chapter 1186

With the strength of Du You and his companions, it was essentially impossible to confront a tier six expert. The power of tier six was too overwhelming, infused with abundant strength. Even with enough Beetles, they couldn’t break through the opponent’s defenses.

Moreover, the energy of a tier six was highly condensed. Even if the Beetles could devour energy, if the opponent only defended, they could last a very long time. In that time, the enemy could either flee or find and eliminate Du You.

Had it not been for a stroke of good luck, Du You would never have dared to challenge a tier six being while he was still at tier five.

This Demon Worm Calamity, although formidable and dangerous, was perfectly countered by his own Dark Attribute Beetles—bugs against bugs. It was the fact that due to their small size, they could not amass their power, which was the real reason he could combat them.

Of course, he believed that others facing these insects had their special methods, but these people hadn’t used them perfectly and had even underestimated the enemy’s strength, leading to their team’s annihilation. The outcome was that the team Du You couldn’t deal with perished here, while the Heavenly Disaster that killed that team now faced its doom because of Du You.

More and more Demon Worms kept migrating from the surroundings, joining the battle, and just as many were relinquishing their territories. Within these abandoned territories, the Dark Attribute Beetles continued to devour and grow stronger, multiplying in number. Latest content publıshed on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝗇𝗲𝘵

As time passed, it could be said that these Demon Worms had no chance of winning if they didn’t discover their whereabouts.

After a while, the first tier six Demon Worm team was completely annihilated. A sparkle flashed in Du You’s eyes as he pulled out a black sphere. "The first drop, I wonder how lucky we’ll be."

"Open it quickly and let’s see, this is from a tier six enemy after all."

Although they had taken shortcuts, the system wouldn’t calculate it that way; it would consider this as a successful challenge across tiers. Moreover, it was from tier five to tier six, so the achievement was significant.

Du You opened the sphere, and the first things to appear were a large number of Crystal Coins. Because it was a cross-tier challenge and without any team, this gave Du You more than twenty thousand Crystal Coins in one go.

This meant that after killing five enemies, Du You could claim one hundred thousand Crystal Coins for himself. Thus, when advancing to tier six, his issues with Crystal Coins would be essentially alleviated.

Du You then turned his attention to other items, which were unfortunately just materials, the shells of Demon Worms. But apart from these materials, there was also a portion of Insect King Powder. "Finally found this stuff, wonder what I can combine it with."

"I have a feeling that whatever we combine it with may be what the Shadow Council is looking for."

Upon hearing Lin Yucha’s words, Du You took out the Demon Worm Powder and placed it alongside the Insect King Powder. Under the influence of a special power, the two unique powders began to unite, slowly melting into a liquid-like form.

Time seemed to slip away until a strange black orb with intermittent flashes of white light materialized in Du You’s hand.

Insect King Jade: can be used to enhance the power of skills, particularly influential for war-type skills. Ineffective for skills above tier six.

"The description is quite straightforward, no wonder those guys took such risks. This thing is very useful even for tier six experts. Enhancing skill effects, if I remember correctly, is only possible when a skill advances by spending a great deal of Crystal Coins along with some special materials, and it gets more expensive and less effective with each advancement."

Back when advancing from tier three to four, the effect was still good. Du You had gone through a Mutation of his skills when moving from tier one to tier two to adapt to his own Dark Attribute.

After that, he had never done it again, because the costs outweighed the benefits, and it was better to let the skills evolve naturally.

But now, he had unexpectedly come across such a special material.

"Looking at this description, the war-type skills that fit are probably those with mass Summon abilities. The only ones we have that fit this type are your King of Skeletons and Yu Shi’s Demon Extermination Spirit, the Dark Attribute Beetles probably don’t count. My own skills are not of this type."

"Only two? That’s not bad. If we can create a third one this time, then when we go back, we’ll get a war-type skill for Yucha too." Now with a great deal of Crystal Coins, Du You could be considered wealthy.

"Let’s experiment quickly; I want to see the effect," Lin Yushi said impatiently.

Du You knew that unless he used it first, Lin Yushi would not use it at all. With four more tier six Demon Worm groups left, Du You didn’t think his luck would be that bad, unable to find a second one.

With that thought, Du You opened the system panel, placed the Insect King Jade on it, and selected the King of Skeletons. In the next moment, the Insect King Jade actually merged into it. Du You felt a surge of power emerge in his mind, appearing as if from nowhere.

This power, upon emerging, rapidly flowed towards his special Skill Gem, the King of Skeletons. Du You hadn’t even reacted before the power was completely infused.

Under the influence of this power, Du You could feel his Skill Gem changing bit by bit. The change wasn’t drastic, but Du You could sense that this skill was distinctly different from before. When the transformation was complete, Du You opened his panel, and the changes in the skill description were immediately apparent.

"How is it, what kind of skill has it become? Master, show us," Lin Yushi said anxiously.

"Alright, I’ll show you." Du You made the panel information public.

King of Skeletons: Creates Demonic Flame Skeletons from corpses, who come with the Demonic Flames skill and can burn surrounding enemies. Demonic Flame Skeleton level: 21, and the level cannot exceed that of the corpse before death. Casting range is a diameter of (level*10) meters. There is no limit to the number of Demonic Flame Skeletons, no duration limit, cannot be stored in the Summoning space, damage against Light Attribute is doubled. Sacrificing one hundred thousand Demonic Flame Skeletons can summon a level 40 Demonic Flame Bone Dragon with high intelligence, unlimited existence time. (Tier 46, 10 stars)

Previously, there hadn’t been many changes, even the level at which Demonic Flame Skeletons were created hadn’t changed, likely because no qualitative change occurred. Before, advancing in level just reduced the consumption of using the skill.

However, after using the Insect King Jade, an additional line had appeared. This line directly addressed the problem of the King of Skeletons’ skill not having high-level combat capabilities, even if it could only create fighters of level 40.
