Chapter 827: Chapter 827
"You also have advancement materials, what are they?" Du You asked Lin Yucha with a smile. Having advancement materials meant this endeavor wasn’t a loss after all.
Unfortunately, that was it for the Imperial Capital. So many renowned figures, especially their emperor, but due to inherently poor strength, not reaching tier four, it was almost impossible that what they had would satisfy the requirements for advancement materials.
"It’s this gourd and this sword." To Du You’s surprise, there were two items.
Lin Yucha really had good luck, able to obtain so much all at once, her advancement skills would far surpass her sister’s now. Du You picked up both items, which were very exquisite.
"This gourd corresponds to my main combat skill, Deadly Poison Strike, and this sword to the passive skill, Piercing."
"Both are good skills indeed, the passive one enhances attack effects, and there’s also the main combat skill of Deadly Poison Strike. Now Yucha, your actual combat strength can be fully utilized," Du You was very satisfied.
"We shouldn’t waste the rest of this stuff, right? We might not need it, but who knows if others might?"
Lin Yushi pointed at the belongings of the two individuals. Being a Martial God of the empire, possessing tier four combat strength, who knew if their possessions were useful. Even if they weren’t useful to them personally, they could still be listed on the advancement materials market.
At last, Du You understood why there were so many items in the materials market; it seemed this was where they all came from. There was basically no cost anyway, so listing them might bring unexpected joy later on.
It was clear that Jing Luofeng’s belongings were definitely useful, although it was unknown if each and every item could be used. It was better to collect them all. Whether his son’s belongings were useful was something Du You also didn’t know.
Because he hadn’t heard any fame associated with them before, and without fame, the objects they had were unlikely to serve much purpose, especially if the objects themselves didn’t have very remarkable stories attached to them.
Of course, Du You didn’t know that Jing Luofeng’s treasured sword was a family heirloom, very famous. The medicine gourd he carried was given to his ancestor by a former emperor and was also well-known in certain circles. As for those boots, there was a story behind them. Certain conditions had to be met, or the items carried might not be at all useful.
Heroes and renown, these two elements are indispensable in advancement materials.
After securing the two corpses and stripping off their possessions when they had time, there was no time now. Looking up, although smoke still shrouded the vast city, with the disappearance of the Destruction Evil Dog, the fire seemed likely to no longer be sustainable.
It looked like it was still not sufficient, another fire needed to be kindled. After resting for a while and recovering his magic power with the Dark Spirit Light, Du You once again unleashed the Destruction Flames. He still used his full strength, but this time he only channeled for one second.
The fireball was much smaller and the attacking power greatly reduced, but its range was still vast, better suited against a city. Most importantly, Du You’s own consumption was much less.
Then, Du You directly used the Energy Gathering Magic Cannon to shatter the city gates, allowing a flood of Demon Extermination Spirits to pour in. In the air, Xiaozi continually unleashed Thunder Light Orbs at those important figures, while on the ground, the massive Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs also made their appearance.
The Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs couldn’t enter through the city gates, but that didn’t matter, they just leaped over them. Wherever the rampaging Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs went in the city, due to their tier and size, they were utterly unmatched and left nothing but devastation in their wake.
Speaking of it, this was the first time Du You had carried out such large-scale city slaughter, and indeed he felt somewhat uneasy.
"No wonder so many Professionals have all sorts of quirks, growing up amid constant battle, slaughter, and deceitful schemes, it’s really not easy to maintain one’s true nature."
Even Du You himself felt that there was something slightly wrong with his psyche.
After a whole day of carnage, the Capital was engulfed in flames. The Capital of Liang Country was thoroughly massacred by Du You. It was just a shame that in the Capital, Du You found no items that could serve as advancement materials.
Neither in the Martial God’s residence nor in the deceased king’s Imperial Palace. In the end, Du You could only verify and take away three items with Crystal Coins. As for the city, it would be easy to burn it to the ground.
Killing two tier four enemies, he also obtained two Light Balls. Du You opened them, and aside from yellow Crystal Coins, there were no other valuable items. There was only a tier four longsword and a tier four dagger of the same tier.
They were of no use to Du You, but since they had dropped, they were at least better than what the two had been using themselves, so he decided to keep them for now. Such tier four items could at least be traded for something useful to himself upon his return, like advancement materials, for example.
After resting for a whole day, Du You got up from bed the next morning and saw the two sisters still sleeping beside him, which made him smile. The previous night, to vent his negative emotions, he had quite exhausted the two of them.
But the advantage was that after venting, the unease in both Du You and the sisters’ hearts had disappeared.
"Using such activities to adjust one’s mind and body does indeed work; the ancients did not deceive me."
Shaking his head, Du You got up and began preparing breakfast. After a day’s rest, there were fewer Demon Extermination Spirits outside, most having dissipated after their time elapsed; these beings could only exist for a maximum of 24 hours.
When the two sisters got up, got ready, and had breakfast, Du You continued the journey with them. The three rode the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dog, which was now so large that it could accommodate a villa on its back, extremely spacious.
The group advanced southwards, destroying city after city. As more and more cities were destroyed, Du You felt himself becoming colder, but thankfully not yet perverse.
Though he kept telling himself that this Derived World would reset with the cycle of worlds, his feelings couldn’t adjust overnight.
But Du You could feel that as time passed, his mentality was gradually stabilizing, although the recovery was slow. The three huddled together, feeling each other’s warmth, as if encouraging one another, "We are almost at the assembly point of the second military zone. We have enough Demon Extermination Spirits to push through directly." Google seaʀᴄh 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝘯𝘦𝘵
"Don’t worry, soon the Origin of this world will be ours, and then everything will come to an end." Feeling Lin Yushi’s cold hand, Du You gently held it, comforting her.
The feeling of killing on such a mass scale, especially of one’s own kind, is not something ordinary people could endure. But Du You knew that to become truly strong, one needed a resolute heart, so he could not falter.
