Chapter 614: The Plan of the Heavenly Demon

The Grand Elder of the Demon Sect, a nameless powerhouse who had lived in concealment for decades, collapsed covered in blood before Happy and the others, including Silver Fox!
Bang!
The death of the Grand Elder of the Demon Sect filled Happy with sighs.
Judging from the events of his past life, this mission seemed to be unique—this Grand Elder had never appeared before either. Yet, despite possessing strength comparable to that of the Great Master Kongxiang of Shaolin, he failed to make a name for himself in the martial world and died silently in a hidden chamber of the Heavenly Demon Caves, unknown to all.
“…” Happy looked up at the small patch of sky above and took a deep breath.
“Xiaobei! Clean up and see what we can find.”
“Sure, boss!”
Yao Shi Wanneng hated searching through the dead, but Xiaobei loved doing this kind of work. Hearing this, he rushed over excitedly and started rummaging through the Grand Elder’s belongings.
“Tsk tsk, a low-grade divine weapon! Broken Heaven Sound!” Xiaobei’s exclamation drew attention and surprise from everyone. They smiled as they saw the staff he took out of his Qiankun Bag.
“Finally, something decent as a trophy.”
“Mm, with this weapon, our trip wasn’t in vain.” Happy nodded slowly. Currently, first-class famous weapons were no longer enough to motivate a group of experts, but divine weapons remained extremely rare in the martial world. Unlike famous weapons, divine weapons were exceedingly difficult to forge.
Because their attributes far surpassed those of first-class famous weapons, divine weapons of certain ranks were practically priceless in the market. As the prices of first-class famous weapons of various ranks declined and stabilized, only the scarce divine weapons retained their exorbitant prices, unshaken by anyone.
The fourth-rank demonic weapon in Xiaobei’s hands, “The Right Arm of the Thousand-Year Corpse King,” was slightly inferior to divine weapons, but someone was offering 1.5 billion on the black market to buy it…
If not for Xiaobei’s astonishing strength, which already made him a top expert, and the backing of a powerful faction like the Mu Family, many would likely try to ambush him constantly.
A low-grade divine weapon without a rank yet worth hundreds of millions! That’s about 4 million in RMB!
“No, it’s more than that.”
Xiaobei took out several more items from his Qiankun Bag—three martial arts manuals, a “Heavenly Demon Token,” one “Leopard Essence Pill,” along with plenty of gold coins and first-class famous weapons.
“This guy is really rich.”
Happy couldn’t help but walk over and take the three martial arts manuals from Xiaobei…
The others also gathered around.
Upon taking a look, they gasped.

A fragment of 《Heavenly Demon Strategy》!
The very first secret manual scared everyone to death.
Its attributes were absolutely terrifying…
Even those who held the manual couldn’t help but tremble their arms upon seeing the attribute information in 《Heavenly Demon Strategy》, nearly dropping it.
Fragment of 《Heavenly Demon Strategy》:
Ten such fragments combined can form the complete 《Heavenly Demon Strategy》, allowing one to practice the supreme demonic art, 《Seeding Demons with the Heart of the Dao》.
“…”
This information wasn’t even the most shocking part…
《Seeding Demons with the Heart of the Dao》 had always been the source of chaos in the martial world—a supreme demonic text fiercely contested by both good and evil factions.
The requirements to master it were extremely harsh!
Moreover, those who possessed a fragment of 《Heavenly Demon Strategy》 could sense the location of other fragments at any time, leading to endless killings. Thus, its owners never survived long in the martial world.
This fragment was intentionally left by Shi Zhixuan in the Heavenly Demon Cave to lure the owners of other fragments.
However, the legend of 《Heavenly Demon Strategy》 was deeply ingrained in people’s minds. Those lacking strength, if they didn’t want to incur killing karma, could simply abandon it and leave unharmed…
Even the usually calm Silver Fox paled and couldn’t help but look at Kai Xin with concern after reading further!
Shi Zhixuan!
A figure at the mythic level?
The message was clear…
Those who obtained a fragment of 《Heavenly Demon Strategy》 would be hunted by peerless powerhouses!
Kai Xin frowned deeply, hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed before throwing away the coveted 《Heavenly Demon Strategy》, which made many in the martial world envious.
Thud!
The 《Heavenly Demon Strategy》 fell like something discarded, covered in dust…
Although Silver Fox and the others admired Kai Xin’s decisiveness, they also knew well that with their current strength, holding 《Heavenly Demon Strategy》 might be like holding a hot potato.
But Kai Xin thought further.
Though he had just defeated a master at the Wuwei realm, he was well aware of Shi Zhixuan’s strength—a being on a completely different level…
One in the heavens, one on earth!
During the three years the game ran in his past life, no one could match a mythic-level figure, and Shi Zhixuan’s exact realm remained unknown because no one dared provoke this deadly menace.
Moreover, in his past life, as players’ strength grew, there was a surge of people challenging famous masters!
But among that surge, a few remained nightmares in everyone’s hearts!
One was Shi Zhixuan, the other was Zhu Yuyan!
Some who kept 《Heavenly Demon Strategy》 saw their clans destroyed, while others lay dead everywhere over it.

Although Happy was somewhat tempted and curious about supreme demonic arts like the “Great Art of Planting Demons in the Heart,” he would never risk everything he had at the moment.
The “Tianmo Strategy”…
So far, no player had been able to master it safely.
Turning his gaze away from the “Tianmo Strategy” buried in the dust, Happy’s eyes fell on the other two martial arts manuals in his hands.
Thankfully!
The remaining two were not troublesome assets but actual benefits.
One of them was likely the master martial art of the demonic sect’s grand elder—the “Tianyin Staff Technique,” a skill that could only be practiced at the Liberation Realm. Its quality was hard to assess, and it was difficult to sell for now.
But the other one…
A top-tier defensive manual from the Life and Death Realm—the “Arhat Body”!
Arhat Body: (Defensive Manual)
Requirements for cultivation: 150 points in foundation, 100 points in comprehension, 150 points in strength, and mastery at the Life and Death Realm! At least one top-tier defensive technique at the Grandmaster level is required!
…
“A top-tier defensive manual from the Life and Death Realm is really rare.”
Xiao Bei wiped the saliva from his mouth before clicking his tongue and saying, “Damn, the requirements are so high—100 points in comprehension? Ugh… 150 points in foundation… 150 points in strength… It’s asking for my life!” No wonder he was so eager to express his opinion.
Martial arts manuals from the Life and Death Realm usually fell from NPCs at the Liberation Realm, or through sect missions—both of which were extremely difficult. Moreover, defensive manuals were extremely rare.
Only special experts at the Wuwei Realm would drop them…
It was said that mastering a defensive technique at the Life and Death Realm could allow one to ignore ordinary attacks from experts at higher levels of the same realm, giving incredible defensive capabilities! Even the Mu family didn’t have any in stock; the only known example was Mo Mo’s Wind Body!
“My foundation and strength aren’t too far off, but comprehension… Happy, it seems only you are qualified to practice this.” Silver Fox smiled bitterly. “It’s good this way too. In a little over two months, your chances of defeating One Emperor One Victory will be higher.”
